P.... grabbing punk. Fraudulent businessman. Narcissistic human. Conspiracy theorist. Pardon seller. ........
agreed... the Admiral is a person of sound mind and body as befits an officer and a gentleman... his assessment of a proper American President is spot on... maintaining alliance even with the other side of the fence is the correct strategy in the event of another anarchist government that could ignite a regional or global conflict with worldwide implications... and a narcissistic, fascist president with the mentality and temperament of a child, is not fit to hold the office... an actual child might be even smarter and sensible, if not mature, than the 45th... everything he has done has made more than enough damage already... basing your judgment and decision making on conspiracy theories is the makings of an entry to the insane asylum rather than the office of power...

As a Disabled US Army Veteran, I really hope we as a country will have more public servants like Adm McRaven and hope we as a nation, get to see more of him in public service as a Secretary in future cabinets or run to represent ALL THE PEOPLE of this country! Our country needs more people of his character to repair the damage the current administration has caused to our country, our allies, and our standing around the world!! Thank you Adm McRaven for your service and speaking out when we truly needed to hear your words and when it matters most!!
I saw him once in a hospital walking by himself in military uniform. This was the time when he was the commander of special ops. He did not have any entourage nor an aid next to him. He blended with the crowd so well but I think it was his aura of humility that caught my attention. Unbelievable...I look up to you, Sir.

@Von Staufenberg I take everyone's statements, and level of accomplishments, at face value. No more, no less. Keyboards and cyberspace tends to do that to you.
@Von Staufenberg the truths that I see, are MY truths. Yours are yours. I can look at evidence to the contrary, but it may or may not do the job of persuading me. People will have their own revelations, without prodding or badgering, in their own time. You already know that. Conspiracy knows no bounds. Pertaining to 911, your theory says hundreds, maybe thousands would have to keep secrets under wraps. It's hard to keep one person from running their mouth, much less thousands. Much like UFO, or Kennedy assassination conspiracies, time and the ability for humans to run their mouths, brings all forward. So, you have a lot to bring forward, that you believe is truth. If those in your scientific community have the truths and evidence you expoused to, in earlier replies, then this forum is not the correct avenue. Certainly, your road to bringing this info out, would be more viable to those in power or in media, than seat-of-the-pants repliers, on UA-cam. Additionally, if those truths, as you see them, are so provable, by government officials, why hasn't that happened, with all the irrefutable evidence you say is in your scientific community? Could all within the confines of government and media be silenced, and that silence passed down to new elected officials and appointees? That's a broad ocean you're trying to cross, my friend.

Ms. Strauss said: “Bevan Cooney was part of a conspiracy that orchestrated a complex and corrupt scheme to defraud a Native American community and the clients of two asset management firms. Today he learned the cost of committing those crimes. This Office is committed to protecting the investing public by appropriately prosecuting market predators.” According to the allegations in the charging documents and statements made in court proceedings: From March 2014 through April 2016, COONEY, John Galanis, Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, Michelle Morton, Hugh Dunkerley, and others engaged in a fraudulent scheme that involved (a) causing the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation (“WLCC”), a Native American tribal entity, to issue a series of bonds (the “Tribal Bonds”) through lies and misrepresentations; (b) deceptively causing clients of asset management firms controlled by Hirst, Morton, and others to purchase the Tribal Bonds, which the clients were then unable to redeem or sell because the bonds were illiquid and lacked a ready secondary market; and (c) misappropriating the proceeds resulting from those bond sales. The WLCC was convinced to issue the Tribal Bonds through false and fraudulent representations by John Galanis. Simultaneously, Jason Galanis, with the backing of COONEY and others, worked to acquire Hughes Capital Management (“Hughes”), a registered investment adviser. Morton and Hirst were installed as Hughes’s chief executive officer and chief investment officer, respectively. Within weeks of taking control of Hughes, Morton and Hirst placed the entire $28 million first series of Tribal Bonds with Hughes clients but failed to disclose material facts about the Tribal Bonds, including the fact that the Tribal Bonds fell outside the investment parameters set forth in the investment advisory contracts of certain Hughes clients. In addition, Hughes’s clients were not told about substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the issuance and placement of the Tribal Bonds before the Tribal Bonds were purchased on these clients’ behalf. The defendants and their co-conspirators then misappropriated the proceeds of first Tribal Bond issuance. Specifically, although the Tribal Bonds were supposed to be invested in an annuity, Dunkerley, at the direction of Jason Galanis, transferred significant amounts of the bond proceeds to support the defendants’ business and personal interests. John Galanis, for example, secretly received $2.35 million in proceeds of the first bond issuance, which he spent on a variety of personal expenses and luxury items, including cars, jewelry, and hotel expenses. Similarly, Jason Galanis used a portion of the proceeds of the first Tribal Bond issuance to finance the purchase of a $10 million luxury apartment in Tribeca. In addition, after John Galanis induced the WLCC to issue a second round of Tribal Bonds, COONEY and others used $20 million of bond proceeds from the first issuance to buy the entirety of the second issuance. As a result of the use of recycled proceeds to purchase additional issuances of Tribal Bonds, the face amount of Tribal Bonds outstanding increased and the amount of interest payable by the WLCC increased, but the actual bond proceeds available for investment on behalf of the WLCC did not increase. The bonds purchased by COONEY and others were then used to meet net capital requirements at two broker dealers in which COONEY and others had interests. COONEY also obtained a $1.2 million loan based on his purported ownership of the bonds, which he subsequently failed to repay. In addition, millions of dollars in bond proceeds from the first and second issuances were used finance the acquisition of companies that the defendants and their co-conspirators acquired as part of a strategy to build a financial services conglomerate. In the spring of 2015, John Galanis induced the WLCC to issue an additional $16 million worth of Tribal Bonds. Simultaneously, Jason Galanis and others purchased a second investment adviser, Atlantic Asset Management (“Atlantic”), and installed Morton as the chief executive officer. Within days of obtaining control of Atlantic, Morton placed the entirety of the $16 million Tribal Bond issuance with an Atlantic client, without the client’s consent and without disclosing the fact that the Tribal Bonds were outside the client’s investment parameters and that numerous conflicts of interest existed. The proceeds of the $16 million issuance were again not invested in an annuity as promised, but instead were diverted to, among other things, finance the defendants’ acquisition of another company in furtherance of their plan to build a financial services conglomerate, to pay $75,000 to COONEY, and make payments to one of the broker dealers in which COONEY and others had interests. * * * In addition to the prison term, COONEY, 46, was sentenced to three years of supervised release. COONEY was also ordered to forfeit $9,527,000 and to make restitution in the amount of $43,785,176. Jason Galanis, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, and investment adviser fraud, was sentenced to a term of 173 months in prison on August 11, 2017. Gary Hirst, who pled guilty to securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, and conspiracy to commit investment adviser fraud, was sentenced to 84 months in prison on September 7, 2018. John Galanis, who was convicted after trial of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud, was sentenced to 120 months in prison on March 8, 2019. Michelle Morton, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and investment adviser fraud, is awaiting sentencing. Hugh Dunkerley, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, two counts of securities fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and falsification of records with the intent to obstruct a government investigation, is also awaiting sentencing. Ms. Strauss praised the work of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and thanked the Securities and Exchange Commission. This case is being handled by the Office’s Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rebecca Mermelstein, Brendan F. Quigley, and Negar Tekeei are in charge of the prosecution. Topic(s): Financial Fraud Securities, Commodities, & Investment Fraud Component(s): USAO - New York, Southern

McRaven should be appointed as Spec Ops chief again in the Biden Administration to hunt down the Orange One who is sure to go into hiding like bin Laden.
This Republican admiral is the reason why Democrats and Republicans see each other as Americans. Please Biden, I've voted for you and I've always voted for Democrats and this Republican admiral is THE perfect candidate for SecDef.
Now there's a real hero. Got up everyday and served his country by leading forces to maintain the free world through the most stressful of circumstances. Here's to you Admiral for loving America enough to be willing to come out and stand for what's right.
Few things that became undeniably clear in this interview 1. Mc Raven considers himself as a modern aristocrat and Trumps common occur disgusted him, and he could not hide it. 2. MC Raven hates the SEALS because he could not hack it there and was fired. 3. He was in charge of the SEALS who where send into certain death, so he benefits when the truth never comes out. 4.Mc Raven was best buddy with John Bennan and other never Trumpers. He was part of the SWAMP Donald Trump could not trust him and see he was right. 5.McRaven was fired because he is an incompetent (20 years of war no clear winner = incompetent) warmonger opposed to Trump's troops’ pullout policy. 6. Robert O'Neill saw what happened to his Teammates, so he wrote a book to confirm the story and cash in. The classic "plata e plomo" 7. Now the world knows where all the big donations coming in are being used for. Was he not their commander when they were ordered into their certain death? What answer do you expect ?
@ This shows me that you never served. That commander was a keyboard warrior. He did the training, pinned the insignia, and achievements but when he was tasked to lead soldiers into combat missions, they did not entrust him with the job and fired him. The way military works, is that being fired on one job means you are fired from the Navy as a whole. Especially if you are fired from the SEALS. Pls Send me the link where the president calls soldiers loser And show me which president was able to defend himself and what is your guideline for that . Defend himself with a gun, martial art ? You think Biden can defend himself ? Trump would just sit on Biden and that would be it .

Remember, Donny was "the Apprentice" in the TV show. We are told the producer would say in his earpiece what to do ("Say, 'You're Fired!") and he would do. Today, Donny is doing just that on the orders from his owners who got him here and who control his reins.
Trump was successful long before the apprentice... He is also going to go down as the greatest president of all time. One day you idiots will snap out of it, or snap into it when you realize how lucky you are to have him.
Or a fake. Lacking real emotions and feelings of empathy. Superior Ability to cognitively reed people and assess what’s the most profitable response. A Cold and calculating manipulator without remorse.. Before you decide that I’m a idiot, please ask yourself how such a person I described above would have performed on this interview. Also before you say that I’m wrong because he have risked his live for his country , the personality- type I’m describing are known thrill seekers..
@@sofieseeker9773 I'm not seeing contradictions between what he says and his body language and facial expressions. There is plenty of emotion in his face, but it seems consistent with what he says. Whatever else, he is not a psychopath.. which kind of takes the legs out from under the rest of your argument.
@@sofieseeker9773 I think their timing is usually off, and that there often is inconsistency, yes. It takes longer to fake a micro expression than it takes to have a real one. The difference is noticable when you watch for it even when the difference isn't very long. I am also not the only one who thinks that. People like the folks at the Paul Ekman group do. The kind of people who do this as part of their job in law enforcement and security do too. Look around. Plenty of them have videos right here on UA-cam. Some of them teach. Psychopaths *do* show inconsistency in their own expressions, and usually a flatter than average range of emotion. They usually read micro expressions no better than the average person, but instead charm their way around things. They capitalize on the fact that most people are very bad at telling when someone is lying to them. They learn how not to act like how people *expect* a liar to act. Not to avoid the correct body languages and expressions. As for me, I learned this because I'm autistic. I took several courses. Learning how to spot these kinds of behaviors helps people like me compensate a little for the issues we have with social cues. By now, I've become pretty good at it, and I have more than just my own opinion to go on there. So yes. I know it's not your preferred answer, but he seems to pretty much be telling how he really feels. I saw some anger in there that he doesn't voice as much, and a little sadness in the beginning, but that makes sense IMHO. They aren't signs of deception in his case.. I can see him keeping things in. That's normal. Especially in a recorded interview.. What he says and how he reacts *is* consistent. He might be wrong, and we can argue there if you like.. but I really don't think he's lying.
@@a_diamond. I really appreciate your response! (English isn’t my native language and I can’t express my thoughts completely). I haven’t studied micro expressions but my gut instinct tell me that he’s a faker. When watching this interview I initially felt complete trust for his sincerity and it’s been my personal experience that the people who I eventually have learned was the most evil and untrue is people that I initially felt really save with. I guess that I believe that the most skilled psychopaths know how to use microexpressions to fool us. That also microexpressions can be masked, minimized, exaggerated, or neutralized. I’ve read that people’s body language (when telling lies) is a big more stiff and that they blink less. This man blinked a lot. Almost as if he knew people analysing his facial experience would be fooled by that...
You just don't want to hear CNN report about it .... it keeps them from reporting on the Biden Scandal..... OPEN YOUR EYES... And Biden looks as though as if he's headed towards a nursing home....
As a Brit I have to say to me McRaven is everything that makes a man, dignity, humility, respect, brave, patriotic and compassionate. He also makes damned fine speech.
I wish more Democrats would too. But look how wrong he was about Biden. All of out closest allies don't trust him now that he's done what he did in Afghanistan.
I agree that trump is terrible, but what you said is no different than the right claiming that there had to be voter fraud because Biden won. Liking what somebody said doesn't determine in any way that what they said is true or not.
@Robert Biondo that's it robert... Think up some ulterior motive and try to say he's got no credibility because of a conflict of interest. Never mind his service record. Never mind everything he says makes sense. It's all about that ulterior motive huh? It's so fkn hard to listen to you Trump supporters attack the credibility of so many incredibly respectable and knowledgeable American patriots, just to defend your assclown of a president. I just pray to God there's enough decent people left in America to vote this sad, pathetic wretch of a man Donald Trump out of office.
I couldn't express my concerns more coherently or concisely. Thank you, Retired Navy Adm. William McRaven, for putting words to the worries so many of us feel about our future.
I like how at 1:32 he says “the one thing I know about leadership...” The man is a former SEAL, Admiral, and retired with four decades of military service. He doesn’t just know one thing about leadership, he could teach a masterclass in leadership that even Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos would attend

We can expect the right wing in this country to vilify and degrade this man and his service. The way they did to John McCain and Alexander Vindman. Country over party is what true patriots care about.

As an American living overseas in Germany I can say: America under Trump has definitely become the laughingstock of the world. Hope you notice over there and vote to make a change
Few things that became undeniably clear in this interview 1. Mc Raven considers himself as a modern aristocrat and Trumps common occur disgusted him, and he could not hide it. 2. MC Raven hates the SEALS because he could not hack it there and was fired. 3. He was in charge of the SEALS who where send into certain death, so he benefits when the truth never comes out. 4.Mc Raven was best buddy with John Bennan and other never Trumpers. He was part of the SWAMP Donald Trump could not trust him and see he was right. 5.McRaven was fired because he is an incompetent (20 years of war no clear winner = incompetent) warmonger opposed to Trump's troops’ pullout policy. 6. Robert O'Neill saw what happened to his Teammates, so he wrote a book to confirm the story and cash in. The classic "plata e plomo" 7. Now the world knows where all the big donations coming in are being used for. Was he not their commander when they were ordered into their certain death? What answer do you expect ?
You're referring to democrats right? Because republucans havent really changed. Ut the democrats are overtly calling to delete the constitutuon and impliment some bizzare authoritarian socialism. Democrats used to be capitalists.
When Cindy McCain, lifelong Conservative Adm. William McRaven, former RNC chair Michael Steele, Rudi Giuliani's daughter, Kellyanne Conway's daughter and Trump's own family members are voting for Biden, you know it's time to say #ByeDon 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 #JoeBiden2020 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Where's that leave joe Biden ? He always thought that leaders communicated thru teleprompters that tell him what to say so he wouldn't stick his foot up his own ass .

@@talimn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
@Von Staufenberg I take everyone's statements, and level of accomplishments, at face value. No more, no less.
Keyboards and cyberspace tends to do that to you.
@Von Staufenberg the truths that I see, are MY truths. Yours are yours. I can look at evidence to the contrary, but it may or may not do the job of persuading me.
People will have their own revelations, without prodding or badgering, in their own time. You already know that.
Conspiracy knows no bounds. Pertaining to 911, your theory says hundreds, maybe thousands would have to keep secrets under wraps. It's hard to keep one person from running their mouth, much less thousands.
Much like UFO, or Kennedy assassination conspiracies, time and the ability for humans to run their mouths, brings all forward.
So, you have a lot to bring forward, that you believe is truth.
If those in your scientific community have the truths and evidence you expoused to, in earlier replies, then this forum is not the correct avenue.
Certainly, your road to bringing this info out, would be more viable to those in power or in media, than seat-of-the-pants repliers, on UA-cam.
Additionally, if those truths, as you see them, are so provable, by government officials, why hasn't that happened, with all the irrefutable evidence you say is in your scientific community? Could all within the confines of government and media be silenced, and that silence passed down to new elected officials and appointees? That's a broad ocean you're trying to cross, my friend.

Bevan Cooney Sentenced To 30 Months In Prison For The Fraudulent Issuance And Sale Of More Than $60 Million Of Tribal Bonds
Audrey Strauss, Attorney for the United States, Acting Under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, announced that BEVAN COONEY was sentenced today by the U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams to 30 months in prison for defrauding a Native American tribal entity and various investment advisory clients of tens of millions of dollars in connection with the issuance of bonds by the tribal entity and the subsequent sale of those bonds through fraudulent and deceptive means.
Ms. Strauss said: “Bevan Cooney was part of a conspiracy that orchestrated a complex and corrupt scheme to defraud a Native American community and the clients of two asset management firms. Today he learned the cost of committing those crimes. This Office is committed to protecting the investing public by appropriately prosecuting market predators.”
According to the allegations in the charging documents and statements made in court proceedings:
From March 2014 through April 2016, COONEY, John Galanis, Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, Michelle Morton, Hugh Dunkerley, and others engaged in a fraudulent scheme that involved (a) causing the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation (“WLCC”), a Native American tribal entity, to issue a series of bonds (the “Tribal Bonds”) through lies and misrepresentations; (b) deceptively causing clients of asset management firms controlled by Hirst, Morton, and others to purchase the Tribal Bonds, which the clients were then unable to redeem or sell because the bonds were illiquid and lacked a ready secondary market; and (c) misappropriating the proceeds resulting from those bond sales.
The WLCC was convinced to issue the Tribal Bonds through false and fraudulent representations by John Galanis. Simultaneously, Jason Galanis, with the backing of COONEY and others, worked to acquire Hughes Capital Management (“Hughes”), a registered investment adviser. Morton and Hirst were installed as Hughes’s chief executive officer and chief investment officer, respectively. Within weeks of taking control of Hughes, Morton and Hirst placed the entire $28 million first series of Tribal Bonds with Hughes clients but failed to disclose material facts about the Tribal Bonds, including the fact that the Tribal Bonds fell outside the investment parameters set forth in the investment advisory contracts of certain Hughes clients. In addition, Hughes’s clients were not told about substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the issuance and placement of the Tribal Bonds before the Tribal Bonds were purchased on these clients’ behalf.
The defendants and their co-conspirators then misappropriated the proceeds of first Tribal Bond issuance. Specifically, although the Tribal Bonds were supposed to be invested in an annuity, Dunkerley, at the direction of Jason Galanis, transferred significant amounts of the bond proceeds to support the defendants’ business and personal interests. John Galanis, for example, secretly received $2.35 million in proceeds of the first bond issuance, which he spent on a variety of personal expenses and luxury items, including cars, jewelry, and hotel expenses. Similarly, Jason Galanis used a portion of the proceeds of the first Tribal Bond issuance to finance the purchase of a $10 million luxury apartment in Tribeca.
In addition, after John Galanis induced the WLCC to issue a second round of Tribal Bonds, COONEY and others used $20 million of bond proceeds from the first issuance to buy the entirety of the second issuance. As a result of the use of recycled proceeds to purchase additional issuances of Tribal Bonds, the face amount of Tribal Bonds outstanding increased and the amount of interest payable by the WLCC increased, but the actual bond proceeds available for investment on behalf of the WLCC did not increase. The bonds purchased by COONEY and others were then used to meet net capital requirements at two broker dealers in which COONEY and others had interests. COONEY also obtained a $1.2 million loan based on his purported ownership of the bonds, which he subsequently failed to repay. In addition, millions of dollars in bond proceeds from the first and second issuances were used finance the acquisition of companies that the defendants and their co-conspirators acquired as part of a strategy to build a financial services conglomerate.
In the spring of 2015, John Galanis induced the WLCC to issue an additional $16 million worth of Tribal Bonds. Simultaneously, Jason Galanis and others purchased a second investment adviser, Atlantic Asset Management (“Atlantic”), and installed Morton as the chief executive officer. Within days of obtaining control of Atlantic, Morton placed the entirety of the $16 million Tribal Bond issuance with an Atlantic client, without the client’s consent and without disclosing the fact that the Tribal Bonds were outside the client’s investment parameters and that numerous conflicts of interest existed. The proceeds of the $16 million issuance were again not invested in an annuity as promised, but instead were diverted to, among other things, finance the defendants’ acquisition of another company in furtherance of their plan to build a financial services conglomerate, to pay $75,000 to COONEY, and make payments to one of the broker dealers in which COONEY and others had interests.

In addition to the prison term, COONEY, 46, was sentenced to three years of supervised release. COONEY was also ordered to forfeit $9,527,000 and to make restitution in the amount of $43,785,176.
Jason Galanis, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, and investment adviser fraud, was sentenced to a term of 173 months in prison on August 11, 2017. Gary Hirst, who pled guilty to securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, and conspiracy to commit investment adviser fraud, was sentenced to 84 months in prison on September 7, 2018. John Galanis, who was convicted after trial of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud, was sentenced to 120 months in prison on March 8, 2019. Michelle Morton, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and investment adviser fraud, is awaiting sentencing. Hugh Dunkerley, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, two counts of securities fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and falsification of records with the intent to obstruct a government investigation, is also awaiting sentencing.
Ms. Strauss praised the work of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and thanked the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Donald Trump is an embarrassment as a politician and a human

than meets the eye. Despite his wealth, people laugh at him behind
his back. Check out the footage of the Nato gathering.
Trump is a crude bully who deserves to lose badly on November 3rd.
In other words...another human being used their common sense and relevant experience to come to an obvious decision.

Adm. McRaven is spot on!!! I hope Biden looks to have him in the administration. He would be a great asset!
Yes sir
Secretary of defense
McRaven should be appointed as Spec Ops chief again in the Biden Administration to hunt down the Orange One who is sure to go into hiding like bin Laden.
Very very correct!
I agree, would be great
This is the type of person we need as president! I would vote for you, no matter what party that you would run under.
President Biden bring this man into your cabinet as your secretary of Defense
he probably will
I hope So. This man is exactly what we need. He knows how to bring America to great status again, and with Biden he will make an excellent team.
Yes I agree 100%
This Republican admiral is the reason why Democrats and Republicans see each other as Americans.
Please Biden, I've voted for you and I've always voted for Democrats and this Republican admiral is THE perfect candidate for SecDef.
Sshhs yes! I’m in my late 60s liberal democrat all my life but I love Adm. McCraven. Hope Biden nominates him sec. of defense

Thank you for your service
Few things that became undeniably clear in this interview
1. Mc Raven considers himself as a modern aristocrat and Trumps common occur disgusted him, and he could not hide it.
2. MC Raven hates the SEALS because he could not hack it there and was fired.
3. He was in charge of the SEALS who where send into certain death, so he benefits when the truth never comes out.
4.Mc Raven was best buddy with John Bennan and other never Trumpers. He was part of the SWAMP Donald Trump could not trust him and see he was right.
5.McRaven was fired because he is an incompetent (20 years of war no clear winner = incompetent) warmonger opposed to Trump's troops’ pullout policy.
6. Robert O'Neill saw what happened to his Teammates, so he wrote a book to confirm the story and cash in. The classic "plata e plomo"
7. Now the world knows where all the big donations coming in are being used for.
Was he not their commander when they were ordered into their certain death? What answer do you expect ?
ua-cam.com/video/OsBOWSjOLsE/v-deo.html
@ This shows me that you never served. That commander was a keyboard warrior. He did the training, pinned the insignia, and achievements but when he was tasked to lead soldiers into combat missions, they did not entrust him with the job and fired him. The way military works, is that being fired on one job means you are fired from the Navy as a whole. Especially if you are fired from the SEALS. Pls Send me the link where the president calls soldiers loser And show me which president was able to defend himself and what is your guideline for that . Defend himself with a gun, martial art ? You think Biden can defend himself ? Trump would just sit on Biden and that would be it .
That quote was amazing. We don't have to agree on everything to respect each other.
Well spoken and Thank you for your service, Sir!!! 👍🏼
Well said, Admiral, thank you

@@rinnerinne1639 like i was saying your not getting the billion dollars unless you hunker down and kiss my ring like the paid biden supporters on social media do. I bet this isint what you thought being an anarchist was going to be like is it? Hey you can always find flaws but is america stronger , safer, working . Say what you will but you see all these issues around us .trump didnt invent them .they were already issues for a long time but just swept underneath the carpet by previous administrations .but it was trump that by his own expression of himself brought those issues to the surface. Look at all the expression we are witnessing .thats what makes a great president .becausr if you cant bring issues to the surface of the fabric that we call society , then they will always remain just below the surface always threating like yellowstone .but no body can claim credit but trump for getting america to engage the issues.and thats how great presidents have always been judged. The great ones have all been surrounded by controversy. All of them. It is the luke warm ones like jimmy carter that history will remember with disdain. When americans are engaged it means our goverment was working as designed .a goverment by the people and for the people .but this is not going to work forcing us to be socialist would mean the end of the greatist freedom any civilization has ever known its not likely you will ever get to vote again or even talk about it.they have stifled the truth forva long time and people are completly out of touch with the truth.biden is a gangster crook and will not make it 4 years and kamala does not have a clue.trump did get palestine and isreal to agree to a plan that has a very good chance of lasting peace .palestein is now its own state. Stupid people dont get those kind of results.

JP, Agreed. But I have to wonder what the typical, Trump ego-rally-attending supporter would say about this.
Intelligent , empathic , knowledgeable, this is man , that ‘thing’ is a fool
This is what happened when the GOP was high jacked by a reality tv star and carnival barker. We need sanity, Dem or GOP.
And who put a reality TV star in office? Yup .... just wait till this next generation appoint's one of the Kardashians in the office
Remember, Donny was "the Apprentice" in the TV show. We are told the producer would say in his earpiece what to do ("Say, 'You're Fired!") and he would do. Today, Donny is doing just that on the orders from his owners who got him here and who control his reins.
Trump was successful long before the apprentice... He is also going to go down as the greatest president of all time. One day you idiots will snap out of it, or snap into it when you realize how lucky you are to have him.
@@ironanchor167 it was worse. They all got "fired" in the beginning of the show so they couldn't tell trump off at the end.

As an expat American who lives overseas, I can confirm: the world in general does not look up to America. Not anymore. Not for a while.
Hi
True!
Yep very true !
True, as a brit i can confirm.
The standing of the USA in international eyes was never higher than under BO
Define a "while". Four-ish years? Or longer than that?
Thank you Adm. McRaven, well said.
Much appreciated and respected to have a man of his standing speak out honestly.
This is True American Leadership. Please take note. Logical, pragmatic, emotionally intelligent.Basic fundamentals
Or a fake. Lacking real emotions and feelings of empathy. Superior Ability to cognitively reed people and assess what’s the most profitable response. A Cold and calculating manipulator without remorse..
Before you decide that I’m a idiot, please ask yourself how such a person I described above would have performed on this interview. Also before you say that I’m wrong because he have risked his live for his country , the personality- type I’m describing are known thrill seekers..
@@sofieseeker9773 I'm not seeing contradictions between what he says and his body language and facial expressions. There is plenty of emotion in his face, but it seems consistent with what he says. Whatever else, he is not a psychopath.. which kind of takes the legs out from under the rest of your argument.
@@a_diamond Do you believe psychopaths body language and facial expression doesn’t match their lies?
@@sofieseeker9773 I think their timing is usually off, and that there often is inconsistency, yes.
It takes longer to fake a micro expression than it takes to have a real one. The difference is noticable when you watch for it even when the difference isn't very long.
I am also not the only one who thinks that. People like the folks at the Paul Ekman group do. The kind of people who do this as part of their job in law enforcement and security do too.
Look around. Plenty of them have videos right here on UA-cam. Some of them teach.
Psychopaths *do* show inconsistency in their own expressions, and usually a flatter than average range of emotion. They usually read micro expressions no better than the average person, but instead charm their way around things. They capitalize on the fact that most people are very bad at telling when someone is lying to them. They learn how not to act like how people *expect* a liar to act. Not to avoid the correct body languages and expressions.
As for me, I learned this because I'm autistic. I took several courses. Learning how to spot these kinds of behaviors helps people like me compensate a little for the issues we have with social cues. By now, I've become pretty good at it, and I have more than just my own opinion to go on there.
So yes.
I know it's not your preferred answer, but he seems to pretty much be telling how he really feels. I saw some anger in there that he doesn't voice as much, and a little sadness in the beginning, but that makes sense IMHO. They aren't signs of deception in his case.. I can see him keeping things in. That's normal. Especially in a recorded interview.. What he says and how he reacts *is* consistent.
He might be wrong, and we can argue there if you like.. but I really don't think he's lying.
@@a_diamond. I really appreciate your response! (English isn’t my native language and I can’t express my thoughts completely). I haven’t studied micro expressions but my gut instinct tell me that he’s a faker. When watching this interview I initially felt complete trust for his sincerity and it’s been my personal experience that the people who I eventually have learned was the most evil and untrue is people that I initially felt really save with.
I guess that I believe that the most skilled psychopaths know how to use microexpressions to fool us. That also microexpressions can be masked, minimized, exaggerated, or neutralized.
I’ve read that people’s body language (when telling lies) is a big more stiff and that they blink less.
This man blinked a lot. Almost as if he knew people analysing his facial experience would be fooled by that...
This is a very intelligent guy he should be running for president.
You just don't want to hear CNN report about it .... it keeps them from reporting on the Biden Scandal..... OPEN YOUR EYES... And Biden looks as though as if he's headed towards a nursing home....
