The Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden reveals what happened inside the room
Adam Carolla: So, you got him, now you’re continually going up the stairs. And you were in what place in this line?
Robert O’Neill: When we got to the second story, it split off to the left and right. The guy that had been up front, he’d already taken a shot up the third set and now he’s pointing up through a curtain. I recognize as the last man, he needs a two-man.
So, I went up to him as a two-man, he starts pimping me with his body language. Like what he’s saying is, “There’s the suicide bombers. We can beat them, but the shitty news is we have to fucking go right now.” I remember looking down, and this is… this is not bravery right now. I’m tired of thinking about it. Get it over with.
I squeezed him, we went up. We went through the curtain and he saw the two suicide bombers that he thought were there, and he jumped on them.
Adam Carolla: How does he jump on them?
Robert O’Neill: He just tackles them and grabs them. Admiral McRaven asked him, “You jumped on suicide bombers. Why would you do that?” He said, “Well, they want the guy behind me to get hurt.”
Adam Carolla: Wow.
Robert O’Neill: Because he did that, I turned to the right… And there’s Osama bin Laden standing there, his wife’s in front of him. They can put the leads from a vest down their robes onto their wrist, and all they got to do is touch them.
Adam Carolla: Put their hands together.
Robert O’Neill: And guess what? We’re all fucking dead. I see him, he’s maneuvering.
Adam Carolla: What is he seeing?
Robert O’Neill: Nothing. He knows there’s people there. The way you deal with suicide bombers is you shoot him in the face.
So, I caught him. I shot him in the face twice and then the third time on the floor.
Adam Carolla: But that’s bin Laden.
Robert O’Neill: Yes.
Adam Carolla: Now, you know it’s bin Laden.
Robert O’Neill: Yes.
Adam Carolla: Are the instructions to kill Bin Laden? Are the instructions to capture Bin Laden?
Robert O’Neill: Knowing SEAL Team 6, we’re going to kill him. Right. That’s it. We’re going to fucking kill him.
EPIC!🔥🔥🔥
Over 4 minutes long and worth every single second.
Aaron Rodgers absolutely UNLOADS on Fauci and the corporate media over the COVID vaccine and mandates, calling Fauci an “absolute criminal.”
“Tony Fauci? Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? You got a pardon, and you’re in front of Congress. You pleaded over 100 times. What are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were ‘the science.’ And you get up there and you can’t answer a question.
“And how much time did the networks spend on that? How much time did they spend every week on my vaccination status? Did they spend even a minute on Tony Fauci?
“[Fauci] is spending the entire time writing in his diary about how fun it is to be famous. You’ve got to be kidding me.
“What are they going to say about me now? They can’t talk about the COVID stuff because, obviously, it was made in a lab in China. That’s not even questionable anymore.
“Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal. They suppressed early treatments. They lied about where it came from.
“Tony Fauci is writing in his journal about not wanting to create any vaccine hesitancy, while pushing his medicine just like he did back in the ’80s.
“And now, when you have an autopen pardon, you know what happened. You have an autopen pardon, and you can’t answer one question.
“I told you I’d be on the right side of history. I sat here among a lot of actually brave Americans who avoided the trillion-dollar propaganda campaign that was unleashed on the American public. And look at us now.”
I needed to move a sofa.
I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"
I did not know anybody with a truck.
He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.
"You gotta know somebody with a truck."
I asked how one acquires such a person.
He said, "You just do."
This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.
He said, "Ask Kevin."
I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.
I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.
Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.
I had not asked for a second man.
The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.
They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.
I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.
I asked what I owed them.
Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."
That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.
Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.
We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.
Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."
I still think about that.
Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.
"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."
He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.
Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.
I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.
Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.
I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."
I have a guy.
I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.
He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."
I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.
🚨 THIS IS GOING TO BREAK THE INTERNET!
Elon Musk just dropped Neuralink's craziest bombshell:
“In the next 6 to 12 months, we're going to implant the first vision devices. Even if you're 100% blind from birth, we're going to write directly to your visual cortex… and you're going to see.”
“And that's just the beginning. In the long term, you'll have ultra-HD resolution and real superpowers: you'll see in infrared, ultraviolet, and even radar. Literally like a superhero.”
The future is no longer science fiction. It's Neuralink.

The engineering behind Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu pitch system is insane.
The natural grass retracts into a 30-meter underground greenhouse to stay fresh while the stadium hosts concerts.
"We're going to get drunk before the game. We're going to get drunk during the game. And then we're going to get drunk after the game."
The match doesn't start for another few hours, but England fans have a plan.
Have y'all seen any of the countless videos of Europeans in the U.S. for the World Cup that are flooding social media right now? They are the best, funnest things I've seen in forever. I've been brooding/depressed for the past couple of weeks, but seeing British people discover Buc-ees at 2:00 a.m. is just the absolute best palette cleanser. I just watched a young Dutch man who had rented a Dodge Ram truck and he's driving along, and he said "I've been driving for five minutes and I can't stop smiling. I'm driving a RAM pickup truck! In America! " And whoever is filming said "How sick is that?" and the young man said "FREEDOM FOREVER!" I watched a British couple who overnighted in Amarillo and the young woman was going on and on about how open and friendly Texans are. She said they were just walking down the sidewalk and they had three different conversations with various people. She said (paraphrasing)"That would never happen in Britain, where everybody is so reserved, almost depressed, and keeps to themselves."
Mind you, I'm not saying that everything in the U.S. is so great or anything like that, just that it really does my poor old Texas heart good to see this place through the eyes of others. It's easy to get bogged down in fighting with one another (over things that are unimportant or even made-up issues) and not see the forest for the trees. This young Dutch man who was driving a RAM pickup truck that he'd rented was on a wide open highway, driving a vehicle approximately three times larger and three times higher off the road than anything he'd ever driven before --- and was positively giddy over something that we Texans take for granted.
Watching these videos makes me feel a bit foolish, actually, for being down about some stuff that is ultimately inconsequential. Also, it appears that y'all are doing a really good job at making these folks feel completely welcome ---- which of course comes naturally to any Texan ---- to the point that some of them are saying things like "I never want to leave." When you think about it, tasty brisket sandwich at 2:00 a.m. is a pretty miraculous thing. Here's a little video that's sort of an overview of what I'm talking about.
