Interview With The Man Who Killed Bin Laden - Humans Ep. 1: Rob O'Neill

Become a Patron! - bit.ly/JBNPatreon
In May of 2011, Rob O’Neill and a group of America’s most experienced Navy SEALS embarked on Operation Neptune Spear. After giving the go ahead from Obama and the U.S. Military, the team flew to Pakistan where Bin Laden was hiding out in a highly secured compound. What happened next would change history forever and etch O’Neill into the history books as the man who put Bin Laden six feet under.
Watch as O’Neill sits down with Joe to discuss his incredible life story where he went from an unassuming kid from Montana to becoming one of the government’s most skilled assassins. Rob shares his experiences training as a SEAL, how it impacted his family life, the phenomenal missions he completed, and the psychological toll it took on him. Rob gives us full vulnerability as he shares his story of life, loss, and unrelenting drive to push past fear and towards victory.
This is the first installment of Humans, a new talk series where Joe interviews some of the most unique people in the world to shed light on their one in a million experiences. This is a big step away from the music industry and away from Joe Budden’s typical demographic. Humans aims to show viewers people with unbelievable stories that only they could live through.

The conversation flowed naturally, Joe gave Rob all the time needed to speak and didn’t cut him off yet knew when to dial the conversation in on something for the audience.

[@Britton_Thompson]

Don't let Rob's humility and folksy "Aww shucks..." country boy demeanor fool you. This man was one of the finest SEALs the US Navy ever built. He entered BUD/s at 19 yrs old standing 6'2", and in tremendous shape because he was previously a college basketball player. No colleges anywhere- no matter how small they are -hand out scholarships to people who aren't above average athletes. The student-athletes at even the tiniest Div. 3 schools are composed of people who are physically superior to the average working man. Rob had all the advantages upon entering into SEAL training because he was both a lifelong athlete, and an avid outdoorsman. He's very competitive by nature, and he absolutely hates losing at absolutely anything. He had plenty of experience with guns, hunting/tracking, and surviving nature's elements from growing up in the frozen forests of Montana hunting big game. Without question, Rob was cut out for the Navy SEALs. He's inherently curious and attentive by nature, and he has a steel trap mind. He has fast reaction times; was already a compotent marksman prior to enlisting; and his reflexes have always told him to think first before panicking. Rob had all the qualities SEAL instructors look for in new recruits. If you've ever listened to the content of other former SEALs and Tier 1 operators, you'll have heard the term "one percenter" get thrown around before. The 1% were the guys in special forces training everyone else in the class hated because they were not only the physically superior athletes, but they also always seemed to "get it" instantly. They never fell behind during PT, and they mostly passed their hardgate tests the first time, every time. That was Rob. He was one of those detestable "one percenters" the rest of the class simply couldn't hang with. Again, don't let his humility and blue collar values fool you. Rob O'Neill was always destined to become an elite warrior someday. He just has the class to never be the one who says it.

[@GG-rj6pj]

Very well put.

[@user-id6nc2qk3n]

If you ever did I biography on him I'd read it.

[@archieadams4841]

Perfectly said. You yourself obviously understand the warrior spirit and mentality. I am a former combat soldier ( not special forces by any stretch) and even though I could have never qualified to be in any special forces like these guys. I understand what it takes to take life and see life lost. In those moments you don't have time to see or feel the long term repercussions. But, later and it's different for everyone on how long it takes. Later it's going to hit you and the realization on how senseless most of it is, it's overwhelming. The sense of loss, the sense of guilt and the sense of fear that can settle into your spirit is difficult at times to bear. The latest statistics I heard were that we lose 22 soldiers a day to suicide. The kind of hurt a person has to feel to take their own life is bad to put it mildly. What people don't get, and I have had my weapon against my own temple more than once, is that we have already taken so much life and seen so much life lost. It's easy to reason with yourself, what's one more? Pray for our troops past, present and future. There must be a better way to deal with these conflicts. Peace and blessings to all who read this!!

This is a awesome interview. He gave a lot of good life gems! Great interview JOE! GREAT JOB ROB! 💯

[@randonsims7976]

As a civilian that goes to work and listen to KZbin content and think "what if I enlisted"? I am here to say by far this is the best story I've ever heard (which is the truth) and also here to say from the bottom of my heart "Thank you for your service" and condolences to the soldiers that we all lost and to their families. I am forever grateful for Great Men and Women that serve this country...

[@randonsims7976]

@OG _WillyWipeOutare you a Vet? You realize how many black men are killing each other and we as black ppl have a no tell policy but yet we want justice when police officers kill us? But since we gang gang it's okay. These young black men are being attacked by Media outlets and completely mindfucked by our own culture and are completely oblivious to opportunities such as being a Vet and actually serving instead of killing other black men in the same city. But yet you take time out of your day ta leave a BS comment on KZbin towards a sincere and positive comment. IDC what you say, he deserves that as someone who served this country. You may not wanna hear it, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't hear it and it's Positive. So fuck off bruh....

[@Tyler-vw9bh]

​@OG _WillyWipeOut I used to think it was corny also but now I tell myself their thanks is really to the ones who never made it back (or those who did with debilitating injuries) and for whatever reason I am here to accept it on their behalf. I am actually grateful there are people like the OP who go out of their way to say thank you, I certainly don't deserve it but the people who do arent around to hear it. Just remember, it wasnt long ago that guys coming home from Vietnam had to change out of their uniforms ASAP so they would not get spit on. Now days I don't wear my stuff to avoid thank you's I don't deserve - that's a good problem to have

[@Tyler-vw9bh]

Don't let the first comment get to you, most of us really do appreciate how supportive you the vast majority of citizens are to us. I just wish all Americans treated all Americans with the same regard

[@Andolini662]

@OG _WillyWipeOut speak for yourself

[@5thegirlz282]

I too am very grateful for your service to our nation. Thank you Sirs

[@glenjerome]

GREAT interview. I've seen him interviewed before but the dichotomy between the two different worlds, and Joe's sense of wonder and curiosity was just a delight to see. Good job on the humans segment looking forward to more of this.✌️

[@stev4238]

This guy is amazing at telling story’s a couple beers with him hanging out has to be an adventure all in itself even joe was all in to the story

[@TheNurseWhoLovedMe89]

I’ve never seen any of your videos before, but I sure am glad that this was the first one I watched. Absolutely fantastic 🙌🏻

[@wheeless05]

Joey. You have to promote this more!! I don't recall it being discussed on the JBP... and I'm a Patreon member. LOVE this and your versatility.

[@HeavyPianoNote]

This is crazy epic, it’s always a treat to see joe step out the Music culture lane and titling this “Humans” is straight to the punch 👍🏽 Fully along with this Series! can’t wait for Ep. 2! Shout out The JBN for never failing to Deliver🔥

[@jxonthekeyz_]

damn this was a banger

[@rondifrankel]

I've recently become rather fascinated with the SEAL stories and have watched several interviews that Rob O'Neill has done. This one is, by far, the best! Thank you, Rob, for your amazing service, and thank you, Joe, for an amazing job!

[@casuallevelexpert3112]

Best conversation with Robert I’ve seen. Felt like it was just getting started. Well done!!

[@ALYKVISIONS]

This was beautiful to watch. God bless this man. You can tell by him speaking a mile a minute he could have sat there for hours telling in depth stories. It’s amazing what you can experience in life and still be able to pull it together everyday to still love hard and tell your story. It’s incredible to see what hard work does.

[@cornbread2418]

Joe, I was never a fan of yours, but you definitely found your calling with these. Keep doing what you're doing my man. Your interviews are great and you have a wide net of people you interview for every person and every race.

[@Angela-219]

Great interview!! Although the SEAL speaks really fast sometimes lol but I thought there was no way I’d sit through 2+ hours of an interview but it flew by! Really looking forward to this series!

[@nolandbranch6349]

I love to have more human episodes! I’ve watched all three on here and they are great, inspiring and informative.

[@arayahomes4308]

LOVED this podcast. So good. Thanks Joe & Rob!

[@YumDrkChocolate]

This interview is AMAZING! Love the new setup with the pod and also interviewing people outside of the music industry. 🔥🔥🔥

[@malikantwan3272]

Best interview you have ever done. You gave Rob the comfort to tell his story in a way that makes us feel it in first hand perspective while also asking the question we where interested to have answered. No cutting in and weighing in a narrative. This is so much more interesting than watching interviews of uneducated, limited vocabulary, grown men talking about nothing. This was inspiring and I hope you do more interviews outside of hip-hop to introduce more outstanding humans like Rob to the world.

[@Ruke--]

Best military interview I have ever seen or heard. This was absolutely amazing.

[@cuttamode27]

This was actually the best interview i have ever watched wow great job guys!

[@alejandrovillegas3836]

This was an amazing pod. Random mix but Joe was so intrigued and was all ears. Asked the questions everyone not familiar with the military would ask. 👏🏽

[@vanguardny]

This is the pinnacle of a pivot and exceptional journalism. Joe is different and this "Humans" segment looks and feels like it's gonna set the bar. Keep up the dope fckn work!

[@techhead57]

Yeah the title alone is epic, and this first interview set a pretty high bar!

[@rick8432]

did we watch the same podcast he assumed a rack made money from war he thought Captain Phillips was in Pakistan and bin Laden's house is like he i.q is a rock physical journalism exceptional you said is this Joe

[@ShutUpBubi]

@@rick8432 ?

[@ShutUpBubi]

@@rick8432 >a rack

[@meshame6785]

Wow! I LOVED this interview. I shared it with quite a few non-military, specifically because of the misrepresentation of the military at times. I am now a fan of Rob. Outstanding

[@BigMoney4428]

I absolutely loved this interview !!!!

[@gamezandmuzik]

i enjoyed this interview way to much and getting the perspective of a person that i normally wouldnt be around due to the environment i come from . this concept is needed from joe and hopefully he expands and remains in this element

[@diasporicliving1858]

This is the best story telling I've ever listened to in an interview. What a life this guy has lived

[@mikefitzpatrick43]

Indeed

[@Ghostintthemachine]

Imagine the stories that the black soldiers of WW2 had, men who weren’t even allowed to piss in a white toilet yet still risked and gave their lives for this country. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A HERO!

[@nellie8678]

This interview is top tier. Truly amazing, I loved every minute of it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💐💐 Never in my life would I have thought, I would enjoy listening to someone speak in detail of how they killed someone and loved it. this soldier is badass.

[@stefanoclemente9331]

The best 2 hours podcast I ever listened to.. I can't say enough..soooooo good

[@Brostredamuspocast]

Just became a subscriber and am super amazed on how good Joe is as an interviewer, he also lets the guest speak his story and finish before he interjects, mad respect! I served you at the Mondrian in Miami Beach pool bar, cool dude

[@darellbeaver8740]

That interview was great all the whole way through!!! U are going out of your comfort zone and giving us great content!!!

[@shannonbeyers9765]

Amazing intense interview! Our country is lucky to have this kind of person willing to fight for all of us at the expense of his life. What a warrior! I tip my hat and salute you Chief Seal Rob O'Neill! I wish you a great quality and quantity of life for the years you have left. Thank you sir for your sacrafice and service. Soldier on troop...Soldier on!

[@jackpotwinner8486]

If you told me in 2009 listening to padded room that this is where Joe would be at in life I’d be pleasantly surprised. Witnessing the growth has really been something.

[@dassolosyndikat5113]

I thought Joe was gonna to put out mixtapes forever

[@emoneybagsthedon]

Lmfao exactly!

[@Trav81888]

You can really feel Joe’s love for this time well spent. I love the title too, nothing too wordy flashy or crazy….just humans. Us being us and why we do what we do. Brilliant.

[@caper087]

This guy is sooooo interesting … the stories he got.. he should have his own movie about his life… best interview I’ve ever watched

[@HarleyLudlum1994]

This is gold 🤘🏻 I can listen to o Neil tell stories all day bro

[@jadeTones]

Something about this interview is so encapsulating. It’s hard to keep my attention with long youtube videos for any longer than 15 minutes but I couldn’t stop watching this.
