One of the coolest stories from this mission was when the first Seals who made it to the ship made contact with the pirates at the boat to drop off food and water, they called out a slightly coded, "Hey Captain, don't worry the 'guys from Virginia Beach are here". He said the captains whole demeanor changed.

Rob pointed out Obama made that call. Obama used the SEALs quite a lot when he was in office. He knew they could get things done.

The baddest SEAL on the planet at a preschool tea party is just every kind of heart-warming.

I respect Rob and his team. These stories are very important to hear. Not what you see in movies but the real heroes who risk their lives to save others because they took an oath. This just made the movie 1,000x better. I want to hear more stories like this from real people who went into the belly of the beast and walked out. Much love and respect Rob.

O’Neil is the man, a team 6 chief is no joke he’s the best of the best.

Rob O’Neil is the Forest Gump of Navy Seals. He’s been part of almost every historic mission that everyone knows about.

I like the word he used, "fantail" to refer to the back of the ship. My great grandfather and grandfather were both steam and diesel towboat (respectively) pilots on the inland waterways of the Eastern United States (Mississippi, Ohio, and tributaries) and the word comes from the days when there was a paddlewheel (the "fan") at the stern of the boat. The fantail was the area supporting the shaft of the paddlewheel (usually with walkways built into it, so the "striker" (oil crew) could go out and lubricate the bearings and the carpenter could do wheel repairs). It's nice to know that this obsolete term is still in use in nautical work, military or otherwise. I know there's older terms even than that, from the Age of Sail, but it's nice to know there's vocabulary relics of the later, but still significant, steam era. Boat handling, of any size, is dangerous and precision work, with a long tradition behind it, hence the specialized vocabulary. (The Inland Waterway steam era also has terms borrowed not from ocean-going maritime work, but from the farms where many steamboat crew members were born). My other grandfather taught physics to Navy cadets during WWII, called "90 Day Wonders", before they shipped out to be part of engineering battalions in both the European and Pacific theaters. So although my family's wartime service tended to be civilian, we still had roles to play in keeping the country working, and our military trained. So proud of the United States Navy.

Man I’m glad stumbled up on your show. Great content..

Who doesn't LOVE Rob O'Neill and his spirit!! God Bless you for being you and the kick-ass American warrior you are. Thank you 1M times.

Rob is such a likeable guy.

THIS GUY HAS DONE IT ALL

Rob is a fucking legend 🇺🇲

Rob was part of the two biggest missions like ever! How awesome is that!

the greatest guy/ storyteller.

Just the ride and mission to get to the area was a mission in itself much less 3 perfect shots 👍👍

Good job and "get" Joe. Love the diversity of the new pod.

This man’s a registered death dealer, and is still so human, so loving towards his family, special soul ❤

Joe did a good job. I enjoyed this interview

Joe saying, “You are a Psycho” to Rob killed me 😂

Amazing interview….

Pretty awesome to hear the narrative from himself, with his demeanor. I Did he have to get green light to talk openly like this? You seldomly see other operators go into details in a public forum. Anyway, great narrative, service and commitment.

I like how he call the aircraft carrier a "boat"

WOW...The Truth and Nothing But The Truth.

The fact that they jus took the shots is pretty badass shows like they didn’t need somone say execute or wtvr , like they knew when they hadda open shot

Dang. Great stuff

I enjoyed this!

Wow. Real. These guys. 🇺🇸

Listening to Rob talk he reminds me of the guy that has 16 tabs open at the same time and is constantly switching between them. 😂

Joe you got a real life hero man. You’re on to something champ. Everyone going one direction literally doing damn near the same thing in variations but this is completely left and I like this a lot. Keep it up. Mind you I’m a guy that likes the other ish too I love it but I also like this.

I’ve heard him tell this story 20 times on different channels and it’s exactly the same every time and that gives it credibility

Well he gives you the straight story. The movie makes it seem like the shots from the fantail was the plan. No, they were just keeping an eye on them if it went south. Well it went south and he was getting coffee with the other Chief Petty Officers.

Complacency comes from too much success🤯🤯🤯

Thank you for your service!🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

There were already a few Seals onboard before Rob and his team got there. He makes it sound like he came up with the plan.

I’m gonna go have a beer for cap Phillips

The former commander of SEAL Team Six said in 2014 that O'Neill had not played a "singular role" on either the Bin Laden nor the Captain Phillips missions. This guy going public about these exploits goes against SEAL standards of anonymity. What an absolute pity.

This Fing guy goes on a victory lap about everything, it goes against everything a SEAL should be

Shawn Ryan, Mike Glover, Nick (Machine) Lavery, or Cody Alford would all 4 be amazing Special Ops/ Military interviews also!!

From 4:00 to 4:35. Yes.

Bags are always packed and ready to go for the military.

He should try to get Jocko Willink and/or David Goggin's on his show.

Rob is cool. He's one of my speech therapists

Special forces guys are hilarious

Awesome

Does the back of his shirt say back toward friendly?

You and the rest of the Navy Seals are such bad asses,

when you realize Rob and your dog have the same birthday.

For the algorithm! 👍🏾

Damn. I forgot they did that too. Seal Team 6 had a lot of great PR during Obama years lol

I always heard that Seals wouldn't admit it. Enjoy your glory bud.

This is the reason why i prefer Delta Force over Seals.. seals talk too much...

Nice to hear him give some respect to President Obama....I think he used the SEALS frequently and successfully.

Quiet professionals no more. I have the utmost respect for those that dare, but to brag, not at all. There once was a time when those that earned their positions didn’t speak about what they do or did. That’s out the window in today’s world.

I like the claymore shirt

I'm sure this is a daft question, but didn't they have a team that could get there in quicker than 15 hours? Don't America have military bases all over the world? It sounds like there are only a handful of guys in the US military who are capable of dealing with a hostage situation at sea, and they were all stateside. That can't be right. I must be missing something.

The difference between UK and Americans is very obvious here .

What ever happened to quiet professionals?

Damn right pfunks my man

Is this the go to guy for saving the day!?

Tv made us think pirates had a different look

It was only 1 swcc team, and 30 something recon guys there. Why they pumped the Navy seals nuts up so big from 2005-2015 I'll never know.

Must be getting ready to run for something...

im trying to think what does good deal mean? any time he got a job it worked out for him cause it was something within their skill set that they accomplished and got a bonus or something for .. i dunno

It MAY NOT be "Terrorism" but it is a scourge!... "To the shores of Tripoli"

Not sure what the point of view this provides as essentially he says it was my idea but I was getting coffee and didn’t know what actually happened. Apologies if I’m wrong and I’ve nothing but respect for these guys…just a bit of an odd clip

Bring on David Goggins Joe

I'm really surprised he's allowed to speak about these things and openly admit he's the guy, this is what he looks like... etc. Seems like all of that would be classified (or similar) for a few more years. I mean, clearly I don't object - I'm watching it - just would have assumed there would be a lot more time that needed to pass first.

This dude might be the luckiest seal ever. The 2 most famous SEAL raids in history and he was apart of both. Oh yea and he shot bin laden in the face 3 times.

He forgot to mention the two Brits on that job.

He dies like everyone else...Just as easy...Hes like a big buck in the woods...The trophy

Navy Seals are fuckin Bad Ass! Idc what people say about them. I wanna join, just wish I had the courage. My heart is there, the courage isn't yet.

Rob once broke his arm and it healed in two days. Incidentally, he broke his arm patting himself on his own back.

yo joe! you the next Anderson Cooper

Now ask him what was on that boat that was the reason for this large of an escalation and then let's have that conversation 😉🙂

These stories should stay anonymous it’s about the team not one individual … poor form

Rob- your a cool dude 👍

Wow can anybody imagine being in the seal teams today ,and Brandon is the president sending in the plays? surely they don't even let him decide what happens and what doesn't, there just isn't anyway that they let him ....right?

Not one lie told here and we all think it, thought it, and felt it … 2 tours to 🇮🇶 and 1 to 🇦🇫 if you know you know …

Im confused why would obama say dont rescue him ?

but you were dealing with some not so smart bad guys on that one.....

protect joe budden at all cost

Rob...ur bad ass mofo !!!

Even Chuck Norris would open the door for Rob O’Neil..................Chuck Norris facts? Nah,..........Rob O’Neil facts rule!

Dude your my neighbor dam neck rude inlet area

Incredible shot, huge respect for our guys. But the guys in Benghazi will have a different perspective on Obama and HRC.

This man should have an action figure made after him, with special deathpunch fists

All respect to rob, but what’s wrong with him, seems very off

He's American. We don't negotiate with terrorists. (Period)

Is this his first time telling this story or the 1,500th?

I hear the same thing about Obama from other dudes that do things we can't talk about, like at the decision level, giant balls and iron backbone.

Why is he exposing himself.

You know the 🦊 clowns will be mad at this one.

Honestly… I’m sorry, nothing, nevermind.

There is no way this guy did anything he talks about. Why is he the only guy who ever talks about these stories? Not 1 person can verify this guys bullshit

Ok....let's not give old Barry Obama much credit, I'm guessing he probably had 20-40 different advisors? Goes for any prez, not picking on ol Barry

Is it me or is there something wrong with Rob. A little too enthusiastic, creepy

Bro killed osama and rescued captain Phillips. What the fuck!

As someone who is a bit more on the informed side than JBP's core audience, this is cringe af. 🤦🏽‍♂️

And then they swiftly put his body on a ship with no media and "dumped" his body over board. People believe everything they were told back then and sure as we've seen this past 3 years, they still do.

At least joe not tryin to rap anymore
