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 year and a half, how'd you get actions? 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 his left. That is the fucking American badass.

She's who that man.

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.

People do like to hear. I don't go in and try to tell people how to do their jobs. What I like to do is tell them how we did our jobs, why we were good. And the traits that were good with us and how to keep stuff simple, hopefully, and I give myself my own advice all the time, don't always follow it. But how we were good and why, and then how it's applicable. And if you have a background or an interesting story and people want to hear it, you can help. And it doesn't, you don't need to be a special operator or military. Anything that you do that can help people. I mean, everything, everything from navigating artificial intelligence to plumbing being a good, can you plumb? I don't know. I can't plumb. plum i know a good plumber that's the case in a lot of
