We haven't had voicemails 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 6: in a while. Romore is Jim falling down on the job. 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 6: He did take a little vaca. I was complaining about 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 6: Jim taking a vacation last week, and Ramone said, listen, 13 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 6: mister slave driver. On his vacation, he was still putting 14 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 6: in from early in the morning till ear in the afternoon. 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 6: His wasn't staying here all day like you want everybod 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 6: I did to do budget lazy people. Our first voicemail 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 6: of the week comes from an unknown male because he 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 6: doesn't tell us his name. He wants to know who 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 6: the Republicans would be running if Donald Trump weren't running again. 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 3: Very good question. 21 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 5: You know, it occurs to me that if Donald Trump 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 5: wasn't running, what would the Republicans do? What? I can't 23 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 5: even imagine any other person. I don't disantos. I can't 24 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 5: even imagine. I can't think of anybody who has got 25 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 5: the pluck that Donald Trump has and has displayed, and 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 5: the seriousness of intent that Donald Trump has has actually displayed, 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 5: and how uncomfortable he makes the demo, which is in 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 5: my opinion, just a wonderful thing. So if he wasn't running, 29 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 5: we are so lucky that he's running, because if he 30 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 5: wasn't running, there is no close second without Donald Trump 31 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 5: there is. We would be done for. I mean, I 32 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 5: don't know that people really realize that is how important 33 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 5: he is. 34 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: Right now in this time. 35 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 6: I was I've been missing these phone calls. I'm not 36 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 6: allowed to your mom, Michelle from Alephant. By the way, 37 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 6: if you ever want to leave a voicemail, all you 38 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 6: have to do is called seven three one thousand when 39 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 6: we're not on the air, uh and it'll take you 40 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 6: to the voicemail. And if you leave a voicemail, it's 41 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 6: very likely going to make it on the air. We 42 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 6: can't put everyone on the air because we get more 43 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 6: than we can play, but we do enjoy we listen 44 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 6: to every one of them. We come in on Monday, 45 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 6: we're overloaded because people sometimes they get a little lit 46 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 6: up or whatever the reason. But people will leave us 47 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 6: more messages over the weekend, especially Friday night, and we 48 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 6: love listening to them. And we're going to try to 49 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 6: get back to doing the voicemuls. We've been so focused 50 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 6: on election stuff that we haven't done as much on 51 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 6: the voicemail thing. Michelle from Alabama is a school teacher 52 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 6: who has an iron Ran book recommendation for people who 53 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 6: don't like to read. 54 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 7: Hello, Michael, this is Michelle from Alabama. I was listening 55 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 7: to Friday's Afternoon podcast and you were listing books that 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 7: people need to read and you mentioned iron Ran. I 57 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 7: like all of her books, and honestly, they are, like 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 7: you said, very heavy, very sick reading. So for people 59 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 7: who don't necessarily like to read, I would like to 60 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 7: recommend her novella Anthem. It is just shy of one 61 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 7: hundred pages and quickly makes the point that she's trying 62 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 7: to make. I've actually taught it in my sophomore English classes. 63 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 7: Thank you have a good one. 64 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 6: Our next caller, Larry, is a black fellow. Now how 65 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 6: do I know this because I can't see him. Simple 66 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 6: he calls me Mike only black people call me Mike, 67 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 6: just my entire life. He left a voicemail with a 68 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 6: prediction that Kamala Harris would become the first black woman 69 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 6: president one way or another. 70 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 8: Hello, Michael, my name is Larry, and I don't know 71 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 8: you might have discussed this on your show before, but 72 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 8: even if you have, I just called to say that 73 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 8: I really believe that Kamala Harris will be the first 74 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 8: black woman president of the United States. Actually, she could 75 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 8: already be president right now. All Biden handsOn news just resigned, 76 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 8: and when he does that, she's already vice president and 77 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 8: she'll become president and they can even use her. No now, 78 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 8: if they need to use her becoming president to increase 79 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 8: her chances of being elected president, they'll do it before 80 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 8: the election. But if they go through the election and 81 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 8: when Trump wins, if he wins, then they can just 82 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 8: remove Biden right then, if you won't go, and that 83 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 8: lets Harris become president, even if she can only serve 84 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 8: them just a few weeks, that'll still make her the 85 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 8: first black woman president. 86 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: And at that point, a whole. 87 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 8: Lot of people, a lot of black people are going 88 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 8: to celebrate. They'll they'll celebrate as much as some of 89 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 8: them did when Oja was acquitted after killing Nicole and 90 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 8: Ron go Ron Golan just just my idea, my thought. 91 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 8: Tell them what you think. 92 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 6: Shane Garcia is doing her part to help us win 93 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 6: this election. 94 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: We need more. 95 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 9: My name is Shane Garcia. You're absolutely right, Michael about Democrats. 96 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 9: I tried to have a conversation with my sixty three 97 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 9: year old uncle and when I asked him to tell 98 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 9: me about different issues that Kamala represented, he could tell 99 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 9: me none. I literally brought up valid points to him 100 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 9: Clinton that you played the other day in the eighties 101 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 9: saying about illegal immigrants. I bought it about her being 102 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 9: the mistress that her daddy got her job for with 103 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 9: a sixty year old man who actually I saw on 104 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 9: the news and she became vice president, talking about how 105 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 9: he helped her political career. I mentioned to him about abortion, 106 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 9: how women can have abortions up until the ninth month 107 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 9: which Shami was murdered. He literally said to me that 108 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 9: where am I getting me facts from? It sounds like 109 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 9: I'm from a cult. I let him know, no, I'm 110 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 9: ann dog. I'm a woman and these views and things, 111 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 9: and the problem with the Democratic Party is if you're 112 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 9: born a certain races. Understood you're a Democrat. But again, 113 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 9: no one knows the real issues I presented to you. Issues. 114 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 9: I said, all this stuff Kamala wants to do now, 115 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 9: she's doing it supposedly as a presidential candidate. But she's 116 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 9: been a vice president for three and a half years. 117 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 9: Why has she spearheaded no tax on tips? Why has 118 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 9: she spearheaded the border? 119 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 10: She was the border's art. 120 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 9: Why hasn't she done other things? 121 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: Just anything? 122 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 11: Really? 123 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 9: I even told him Michelle Obama, as a president's wife, 124 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 9: read adapted to food tarts so people could be healthier. 125 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 9: The truck they had dealt with from years ago, she revamped. 126 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 9: So you have a platform now and you've done nothing. 127 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 9: And I said, and honestly, the Democrats were unfair to 128 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 9: other Democrats when they allowed Biden to stay in office, 129 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 9: knowing he had an illness. They didn't even give Democrats 130 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 9: a chance to pick a real running mate against Trump. 131 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 9: And so now you have a problem with me because 132 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 9: I say Trump is an anthem. Oh in ps, I 133 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 9: think makes a country look weak when a woman runs it. 134 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: Because if a. 135 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 9: Woman is running anything, you know what that means there 136 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 9: are men under her, Whether it's a corporational company. Why 137 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 9: has no one else stepped up? Why has no man 138 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 9: stepped up? But that's what we're living now. Transgender, all 139 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 9: these other things that don't matter, don't mean anything, but now, 140 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 9: all of a sudden, they mean everything. I'm so glad 141 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 9: the hurricane came through because if it not had come through, 142 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 9: I would have never found out about your show.

It matters not your gender, 289 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 11: your ethnic or religious background, your orientation, or your social status. 290 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: Our struggles in. 291 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 11: This world are similar, and the lessons to overcome those 292 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 11: struggles and to move forward, changing ourselves and changing the 293 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 11: world around us will apply equally to all. So here 294 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 11: are the ten lessons I learned from basic Seal training 295 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 11: that hopefully will be of value to you as you 296 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 11: move forward in life. Every morning in sealed training, my instructors, 297 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 11: who at the time were all Vietnam veterans, would show 298 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 11: up in my baratroom, and the first thing they do 299 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 11: is inspect my bed. If you did it right, the 300 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 11: corners would be square, the covers would be pulled tight, 301 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 11: the pillow center just under the headboard, and the extra 302 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 11: blanket folded neatly at the foot of the rack. It 303 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 11: was a simple task, mundane at best. That every morning 304 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 11: we were required to make our bed to perfection. It 305 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 11: seemed a little ridiculous at the time, particularly lie to 306 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 11: the fact that we were aspiring to be real warriors, tough, 307 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 11: battle hardened seals. But the wisdom of the simple act 308 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 11: has been proven to me many times over. If you 309 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 11: make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the 310 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 11: first task of the day. They will give you a 311 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 11: small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to 312 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 11: do another task, and another and another, and by the 313 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 11: end of the day that one task completed will have 314 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 11: turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also 315 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 11: reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. 316 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 11: If you can't do the little things right, you'll never 317 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 11: be able to do the big things right. 318 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: And if, by chance, you have a miserable day, you. 319 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 11: Will come home to a bed that is made, that 320 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 11: you made, and a made bed gives you encouragement that 321 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 11: tomorrow will be better. So, if you want to change 322 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 11: the world, start off by making your bed. During seal training, 323 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 11: the students. During training, the students are all broken down 324 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 11: boat crews. Each crew has seven students, three on each 325 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 11: side of a small rubber boat and one cox and 326 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 11: to help guide the dinghy. Every day your boat crew 327 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 11: forms up on the beach and is instructed to get 328 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 11: through the surf zone and paddle several miles down the coast. 329 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 11: In the winter, the surf off San Diego can get 330 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 11: to be eight to ten feet high, and it is 331 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 11: exceedingly difficult to through the plunging surf unless everyone digs in. 332 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 11: Every paddle must be synchronized to the stroke count of 333 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 11: the Coxwin. Everyone must exert equal effort or the boat 334 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 11: will turn against the wave and be unceremoniously dumped back 335 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 11: on the beach. For the boat to make it to 336 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 11: its destination, everyone must paddle. 337 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: You can't change the world alone. 338 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 11: You will need some help, and to truly get from 339 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 11: your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the 340 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 11: goodwill of strangers, and a strolling Coxin to guide you. 341 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 11: If you want to change the world, find someone to 342 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 11: help you paddle. Over a few weeks of deical training, 343 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 11: my seal class, which started with one hundred and fifty men, 344 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 11: was down to just forty two. There were now six 345 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 11: boat crews of seven men each. I was in the 346 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 11: boat with the tall guys, but the best boat crew 347 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 11: we had was made up of the little guys, the 348 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 11: Munchkin crew we called them. 349 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: No one was over five foot five. 350 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 11: The Munchkin boat crew had one American Indian, one African American, 351 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 11: one Polish American, one Greek American, one Italian American, and 352 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 11: two tough kids from the Midwest. They outpaddled, out ran, 353 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 11: and outswam all the other boat crews. The big men 354 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 11: and the other boat crews would always make good natured 355 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 11: fun of the tiny little flippers the Munchkins put on 356 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 11: their tiny little feet prior to every swim. But somehow 357 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 11: these little guys from every corner of the nation in 358 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 11: the world always had the last laugh. So any faster 359 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 11: than everyone in reaching the shore, long before the rest 360 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 11: of US. Seal training was a great equalizer. Nothing mattered 361 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 11: but your will to succeed. Color, not your ethnic background, 362 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 11: not your education, not your social status. If you want 363 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 11: to change the world, measure a person by the size 364 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 11: of their heart, not by the size of their flippers. 365 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 11: Several times a week, the instructors would line up the 366 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 11: class and do a uniform inspection. 367 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: It was exceptionally thorough. Your hat had to be. 368 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 11: Perfectly starched, your uniform immaculately pressed, your belt buckles shiny 369 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 11: and void of any smudges. But it seemed that no 370 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 11: matter how much effort you put into starching your hat, 371 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 11: or pressing your uniform or polishing your belt buckle, it 372 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 11: just wasn't good enough. The instructors would find something wrong. 373 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 11: For failing uniform inspection, the student had to run fully 374 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 11: clothed into the surf zone, then wet from head to toe, 375 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 11: roll around on the beach until every part of your 376 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 11: body was covered with sand. The effect was known as 377 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 11: a sugar cookie. You stayed in the uniform the rest 378 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 11: of the day, cold, wet, and sandy. There were many 379 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 11: a student who just couldn't accept the fact that all 380 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 11: their efforts were in vain. No matter how hard they 381 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 11: tried to get the uniform right, they went unappreciated. Those 382 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 11: students didn't make it through training. Those students didn't understand 383 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 11: the purpose of the drill. You were never going to succeed. 384 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 11: You were never going to have a perfect uniform. The 385 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 11: instructors weren't. 386 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: Going to allow it. 387 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 11: Sometimes, no matter how well you prepare or how well 388 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 11: you perform, you still end up as a sugar cookie. 389 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: It's just the way life is. Sometimes. 390 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 11: If you want to change the world, get over being 391 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 11: a sugar cookie, and keep moving forward. Every day, during training, 392 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 11: you were challenged with multiple physical events, long runs, long swims, 393 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 11: obstcle courses, hours of calistenics, something designed to test your metal. 394 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 11: Every event had standards times you had to meet. If 395 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 11: you failed to meet those times those standards, your name 396 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 11: was posted on a list, and at the end of 397 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 11: the day, those on the list were invited to a circus. 398 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 11: A circus was two hours of additional calisthenics designed to 399 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 11: wear you down, to break your spirit, to force you 400 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 11: to quit. 401 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: No one wanted a circus. 402 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 11: A circus meant that for that day, you didn't measure up. 403 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 11: A circus meant more fatigue, and more fatigue meant that 404 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 11: the following day would be more difficult and more circuses 405 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 11: were likely. But sometime during seal training everyone everyone made 406 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 11: the circus list. 407 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: But an interesting thing happened to those who were constantly 408 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: on the list. 409 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 11: Over time, those students who did two hours of extras 410 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 11: calisthenics got stronger and stronger. The pain of the circuses 411 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 11: built inner strength and physical resiliency. 412 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: Life is filled with circuses. You will fail, and you will. 413 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 11: Likely fail often and it will be painful, it will 414 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 11: be discouraging at times, it will test you to your 415 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 11: very core. But if you don't, if you want to 416 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 11: change the world, they'll be afraid of the circus. 417 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: It's another work week in the books. 418 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 3: Gain you geared up for the weekend to Friday drive home. 419 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: On the Michael Barry Show. 420 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: I'm sharing this speech by Admiral mcgraven. 421 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 6: If you missed it earlier, you have to hear the 422 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 6: earlier part you go back on the podcast because I 423 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 6: want you to understand we have to do more than 424 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 6: bash Kamala Harris. 425 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: We have to fire up our. 426 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 3: Troops to save this country that's on us. 427 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 11: At least twice a week, the trainees were required to 428 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 11: run the obstacle course. The obstacle course contained twenty five obstacles, 429 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 11: including a ten foot wall, a thirty foot cargo net, 430 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 11: a barbed wire crawl to name a few, But the 431 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 11: most challenging obstacle was a slide for Life. It had 432 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 11: a three level thirty foot tower at one end and 433 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 11: a one level tower at the other. 434 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 2: In between was a two hundred foot long rope. 435 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 11: You had to climb the three tier tower and once 436 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 11: at the top you grabbed the rope, swung underneath the rope, 437 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 11: and pulled yourself hand over hand until you got to 438 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 11: the other end. The record for the obstacle course had 439 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 11: stood for years. When my class began in nineteen seventy seven. 440 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 11: The record seemed unbeatable until one day, as student decided 441 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 11: to go down the slide for life head first. Instead 442 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 11: of swinging his body underneath the rope and inching his 443 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 11: way down, he bravely mounted the. 444 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 2: Top of the rope and thrust himself forward. 445 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 11: It was a dangerous move, seemingly foolish and fraught with risk. 446 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 11: Failure could be an injury in being dropped from the course. 447 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 11: Without hesitation, the students slid down the rope perilously fast. 448 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 2: Instead of several. 449 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 11: Minutes, it only took him half that time, and by 450 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 11: the end of the course he had broken the record. 451 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 11: If you want to change the world, sometimes you have 452 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 11: to slide down the obstacle's head first. 453 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 2: During the land warfare. 454 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 11: Phase of training, the students are flown out to San 455 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 11: Clemente Island, which lies off the coast of San Diego. 456 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 11: The waters off San Clementy are a breeding ground for 457 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 11: the great white sharks. To pass seal training, there a 458 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 11: series of long swims it must be completed. 459 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: One is the night swim. 460 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 11: Before the swim, the instructors joyfully brief the students on 461 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 11: all the species of sharks that inhabit the waters off 462 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 11: San Clemente. They assure you, however, that no student has 463 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 11: ever been eaten by a shark, at least not that 464 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 11: they can remember. But you are also taught that if 465 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 11: a shark begins to circle your position, stand your ground, 466 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 11: do not swim away, do not act afray. And if 467 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 11: a shark hungry for a midnight snack darts towards you, 468 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 11: then summons up all your strength and punch him in 469 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 11: the snout and he will turn and swim away. 470 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: There are a lot of sharks in the world. If 471 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: you hope to. 472 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 11: Complete the swim, you will have to deal with them. 473 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 11: So if you want to change the world, go back 474 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 11: down from the sharks. As Navy seal is, one of 475 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 11: our jobs is to conduct underwater attacks against enemy shipping. 476 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 11: We practice this technique extensively during training. The ship attack 477 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 11: mission is where a pair of sealed divers is dropped 478 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 11: off outside an enemy harbor and then swims well over 479 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 11: two miles underwater, using nothing but a death gage and 480 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 11: a compass to get to the target. During the entire swim, 481 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 11: even well below the surface, there is some light that 482 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 11: comes through. It is comforting to know that there is 483 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 11: open water above you. But as you approach the ship, 484 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 11: which is tied to a pier, the light begins to fade. 485 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 11: The steel structure the ship blocks the moonlight, It blocks 486 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 11: the surrounding street lamps, It blocks all ambient light. To 487 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 11: be successful in your mission, you have to swim under 488 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 11: the ship and find the keel, the center line and 489 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 11: the deepest part of the ship. This is your objective. 490 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 11: But the keel is also the darkest part of the ship, 491 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 11: where you cannot see your hand in front of your 492 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 11: face from the ship's machinery is deafening, and where it 493 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 11: gets to be easily disoriented and you can fail. Every 494 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 11: seal knows that under the keel at that darkest moment 495 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 11: of the mission is the time when you need to 496 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 11: be calm, When you must be calm, when you must 497 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 11: be composed, when all your tactical skills, your physical power, 498 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 11: and your inner strength must be brought to bear.

Lets paddle down 509 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 11: to the mudflats and spend the next fifths trying to 510 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 11: survive this freezing cold, the howling wind, and the incessant 511 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 11: pressure to quit from the instructors. As the sun began 512 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 11: to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having committed 513 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 11: some egregious. 514 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: Infraction of the rules, was ordered into the mud. 515 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 11: The mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible 516 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 11: but our heads. 517 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: The instructors told us we could. 518 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 11: Leave the mud if only five men would quit. Only 519 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 11: five men, just five men, and we could get out 520 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 11: of the oppressive cold. Looking around the mud flat, it 521 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 11: was apparent that some students were about to give up. 522 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: It was still over eight hours till the sun came up. 523 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 11: Eight more hours of bone chilling cold, the chattering teeth 524 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 11: and the shivering moans of the trainees were so loud 525 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 11: it was hard to hear anything. And then one voice 526 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 11: began to echo through the night. One voice raised in song. 527 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 11: The song was terribly out of tune, but sung with 528 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 11: great enthusiasm. One voice became two, and two became three, 529 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 11: and before long everyone in the class was singing. The 530 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 11: instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if 531 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 11: we kept up singing. But the singing persisted, and somehow 532 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 11: the mud seemed a little warmer, and the wind a 533 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 11: little tamer, and the dawn not so far away. If 534 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 11: I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, 535 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 11: it is the power of hope, the power of one person. 536 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 11: A Washington, a Lincoln, King Mandela, and even a young 537 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 11: girl from Pakistan Malala. 538 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 2: One person can change the world by giving people hope. 539 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 11: So if you want to change the world, start singing 540 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 11: when you're up to your neck in mud. Finally, a 541 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 11: seal training, there's a bell, a brass bell that hangs 542 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 11: in the center of the compound for all the students 543 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 11: to see. 544 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: All you have to do is quit.
