>> that's all i need right there, yes. >> as americans we simply have no other choice. >> americans have a choice. a personal choice. every individual has a choice to use fossil fuels or not. >> done, all right, easy. we'll stop using your oil. >> let me give you an example of what that might mean, though. obvious transportation means would have to change. your cell phone, video games, mp3 players, your i pads, all these things are made from a petrochemical or petroleum-based products. >> what about internet porn. >> that would be gone. >> i was beginning to see politics in a whole new light. maybe canada wasn't so bad after all. >> o canada ♪ ♪ canada ♪ canada ♪ meow, meow, meow >> welcome back. my guests tonight a former member of navy seal team 6, his new book is called seal team 6 memoirs of an elite navy seal sniper. welcome to the program howard wasdin, sir. >> thanks for being here. >> a great honor. >> tremendous. >> just like to say hello, take that applause and direct it to the men and women who are serving now. >> serving right now. >> i think a lot of people don't realize seal team six is an ongoing elite subset of the seal teams; is that correct? >> i don't know what you mean by subset. they have a different mission, john. they are the tier 1 counterterrorist units. which means they have the assets, the training, capabilities to deploy anywhere at a moment's notice. >> right. >> and do this type of op that you saw on me first. >> i guess what i am saying is there are other navy seal teams that are not part of six. >> there are other number teams, that's right. >> and how, does their training differ from the other navy seals. i know it differents from let's say the regular navy but how would it different from even the other navy seals? >> let me be very clear on one point here. just because are you a member of seal team 6, or a more elite seal, all seals are elite. it just means you've decided to have a different lifetile. and what i mean by that is you are even more committed to doing this type of job it becomes a lifestyle day in and day out of practicing, training, never ending. and that's why you have about probably a six to eight year training life span. >> while you're actually there, because you physically just can't keep doing that. you mentally can't keep doing that and your family is going to suffer too because if you have got kids like i have, you couldn't serve two masters, it cost me my wife and kids because i was more married to the team. so if you go to this team, it's all or nothing, you have to be completely dedicated and you know, most wives don't like it when a husband wakes up and says hey, my pager is going off, i will see you maybe in a few months. >> and you really do live like a shadow. you kind of move and do that you were in mogadishu. >> that was my career ender, the whole blackhawk down op i got shot three times in that op. there are parallels here we don't need to miss between the mogadishu blackhawk down op and a bata bad op. lessons learn, 234 somalia we didn't have operational security, working with the united nations, with these other countries so people knew when we were coming, leaving, what we were doing. and i'm a republican but the president got it right here. i'm actually thinking more and more about this guy being a really good president. >> what did he get right? >> what he got right is two things actually three things it. one thing definitely was operational security, he did not tell pakistan we were coming. i know that makes us bad people because we did something on their foreign soil. we didn't kill 3,000 of their people, but you know, so we went over there and did that and didn't let them know we were coming so that kept our people safe. made the mission. >> do you think they did that because they felt that that would compromise, they felt they could not trust that chain of command on the other side. >> and since i'm not running for office and i don't want your vote, absolutely second thing is he got it right with this burial at sea. that was ingenuous. >> that was maybe one of the most controversial aspects of it. >> yeah, but think about it, if we had given them somewhere to go and pay homage to this, you know, evil person or whatever that would have been terrible. the other thing he got right was not releasing the pictures. i think he got it right on all three things and i'm sitting here going you know what i didn't vote for the guy but hey, as americato admit when a president gets it right. >> i always thought, i always feel like we don't know enough about war but i think maybe in this particular situation in terms of security, i had not realized just how secretive the seal teams have to be. i mean even in your book there are faces blacked out still. there is an anonymity that needs to occur. >> sure. >> and mogadishu what happened to you. when you were injured. >> i was part of the failed op to take down the, you know, the hotel that day. i was shot the first time at the target hotel. shot the second time, picking up rangers off the street and shot the third time trying to get the hell out of there. in a humvee. >> how long did the process last where you continued to operate while having been shot. >> about four and a half hours. but while we are talking about that -- >> no, let's not glorify that. let's just stop for a second. because you and i it very similar, and i don't, obviously want to brag, but i'm going to show you someth
