Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden.

...where we continue to follow the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden now.

Those are just some of the scenes overnight as thousands of Americans gathered in celebration of Osama bin Laden's death.

Former Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill says he has thought about the mission every day since that May day in 2011.

For multiple conversations you had with Rob O'Neal over the past a year and a half, how'd you get action?

And you described that his head kind of exploded when you hit him.

I actually hit him three times, so I shot him twice when he was standing and once on a plane.

That is the fucking American badass.

She's who that there.

Go, go, go.

We are not going for fame, and we are not going for bravado.

We are going for the single mom who dropped her kids off at elementary school on a Tuesday morning,

and then 45 minutes later she jumped to her death out of a skyscraper.

If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator.

I'm Rob O'Neill, and this is the Operator Podcast.

Welcome back to the Operator Podcast.

We're in the 130s now.

This is going to be episode 131, and I appreciate you joining me.

We're going to have a lot of fun today, hopefully.

I'm going to get into just a little bit of history because it's fun to know from where you come and what's been happening and why.

And one of the phrases that's going around now is that, and you'll hear me say it, too,

that history is written by, history is written by the victors.
