when i led 250 marines and sailors into iraq, and that is not hyperbole -- we lost more marines and sailors in that city than any other during the search -- the surge strike in 2006, 2007. i knew how important that was to these young men who are about to be thrust into the chasm of war. they had never seen it, all they knew was from hollywood. it looks all glamorous and the medals are attractive. when you are a young kid. that were thrust into city, i got that meant nothing to me. the only thing that mattered was bringing as many marines home as possible. one of the ways to do that when i sat them down and i looked at them in the eye and i ordered them to kill, i said, you will kill. i am ordering you to kill. because i never ever wanted that marine to hesitate when he had to put that rifle in his shoulder, put his finger on the trigger, look through the scope and make the conscious, life-changing decision to take another human life. it is a terrible and horrific thing to do, and to ask an 18-year-old kid who is probably playing football on the high school team in the year before, t

it was more than just the marines.i was answerable to all of you in this room, spending of your money, the combat we went through and i had a love affair with the u.s. constitution and i enjoyed reading the thing and find great things and find something else that is great and it is the idea that this is so precious that it probably can't even be taught to you. you sent it as you read it and think of these young and old guys starting with the declaration and when they sign that, king george catches them they are dead. that's all it is. that is the wakings did it and for us to do this today, this experiment seems so precious to me that i will commit whatever i can to help young people become the leaders they want to be. i don't care if it is in business or their diocese or their small town or wherever it is. i don't have all the answers but here is what worked for me. >> host: i don't know whether to thank you secretary jim mattis, and or jim mattis? >> jim mattis will do fine.

marines in beirut. he will be doing a presentation about his book and the topic followed by a q&a so as one please join in welcoming bruce riddell. [applause] >> i don't think i need this, right? i do need it, okay. good to know. first of all thank you for coming tonight. on july 15, 1958 at roughly 3 p.m. in the afternoon lebanese time, the second marine regiment landed on beirut beach. the marines came ashore anticipating that this would be d-day, that they were going to be facing a hostile audience. in fact, what they ran into is lebanese and other foreign tourists sunbathing on the beach. some of them in the nude, or newly invented bikini. unfortunately i don't have the picture of anybody in the bikini on the beach but i do have a picture of lebanese rushing to the shore fascinated by the marines having landed. literally as the marines charged up the beach, weapons loaded ready to go to war, vendors charged down the beach selling coca-cola, cigarettes, and other lebanese delights. lebanese turned ou

that's what marine do, we win. that is the guidance i wanted to impart on that guy in my absence, and i think that being a strong leader, and i talk about this all the time, people will look at my book and see this maureen who says that he's going to do bad things to you, but it's really a book about leadership and team building and overcome adversity. and people. and this. and this amazing human connection. if anyone asked me what the court message as, its meeting people like tom and saying, i remember when we came to that discussion. that's the power. three leading young people and respecting the people that and trust us to lead the young men and women in some of the worst conditions. if you're not doing that, every single day you are failing as a leader, and i will call anyone out on that, and it would be because, as you, know there is no room for error. if you drop a couple sales order at xerox, the company is not going under. if you feel as a leader in the marine corps in combat or in the army, it's a lot diff

i went to jail twice before i went into the marines and i would just tell you the marines forgave that too. [laughter] when you make a mistake or when you make a decision that isn't a mistake and there are losses, do your torture yourself about it or do you say it's a lesson and move on? >> well, you do not forget when they lose their lives or what you did. you just have to live with it. let me ask two final questions, first about obama and you have some places in the book you really didn't think that they were right civilian leadership just describe that relationship and your overview thoughts of him. >> i found him curious. i've been in meetings with him but here's the thing. you heard when we were introduced that at times military leaders had to bring rewards he referred to the grim realities into discussion with politicians who are trying to go for peace and prosperity and health care, all the things we care about. again, we defend the country. so it can have those things. somehow we have to bring that thinking into the decisions made in the war which is completely alien to what we

my family has origins in the army, navy, marine corps. my grandfather, army combat engineer, badly gassed in world war i. my father enlisted in the navy, on a destroyer, it was torpedoed by a german u-boat before world war ii started in 1941. he would fight throughout the entire war, across the north atlantic, mediterranean, pacific. would end up at the end of the war anchored just away from the uss missouri and would be a witness to the surrender of the japanese. the marine corps side of my family, world war i, the battles of guam, iwo jima and okinawa. i came into the service when i was 17, into the naval academy, brand x for those of you from west point, graduated as an infantry man, spent 38 years as an infantry officer, would serve in bosnia, afghanistan and in iraq and later at the request of president obama, helped to organize and lead the global coalition against the islamic state. it is an opportunity, during q&a, i would be happy to answer your questions. frame them about service in the military, combat, what our higher moral ob

in the afternoon the second marine regiment landed on beirut beach the marines came ashore anticipating this would be d-day facing a hostile audience but in fact what they ran into was tourist laying on the beach some of them in the nude or in the newly invented bikini i don't have a picture but i do have a picture of them rushing to the shore fascinated by the marines having landed literally as they charged up the beach weapons loaded and ready to go to war vendors went down the beach selling coca-cola and other delights the lebanese turned out to see the sights here you can see the taxis pulling up so it was a comic opera but everything underneath was deadly dangerous the marines were landing in lebanon after very vicious civil war of christians and muslims and to expect going to combat and to violate the sovereignty of lebanon and they saw them supporting their christian enemies as those who are trying to hold onto power and in germany tactical nuclear weapons to be airlifted to the beachhead and the 82nd airborne division was put on alert to reinforce the beachhead. so if you think

for us to act i would be a strong ambassador and a strong advocate for marine protection. around the world. the most alarming problem for the seychelles waters is rising temperatures warm a series have bleached many of the coral reefs damaging areas of natural beauty for a country that relies on its fishing and tourism industries the impending disaster could cost many people ted jobs. at least responsible for the problems of climate change yet we are vulnerable. in fact if we were different the fight would have been different. the seychelles is working on a solution a government led initiative is turning one 3rd of the country's territorial waters an area the size of germany into protected zones the zones stretching out from the countries in iraq looms and al dubber group islands aim to limit human activity and thus make marine life more resilient. marine scientists from the university of oxford and the nekton institute have been examining the seychelles waters. there was a incredible diversity an abundance of fish especially in protected areas like aldabra which was a mar

in the afternoon landing on a beirut beach the marines came ashore anticipating this is d-day facing a hostile audience but in fact what they ran into was onbanese and then they don't have the picture of anybody on the beach and those rushing to the store literally as they charged up the beach weapons loaded ready to go to war they charge down the beach with vendors selling coca-cola and cigarettes and other lebanese delights. it turns out in large numbers here you can see taxis pulling up and the marines were landing in lebanon and the very vicious civil war between christians and muslims and expected to go into combat the lebanese army regards as invaders the sovereignty and sanctity of lebanon. the muslims saw them coming assure those that were trying to hold on to power for an extra second term. in germany tactical nuclear weapons were prepared to be airlifted to the beach at the 8d air force division was put on alert to reinforce the beachhead so while there was an approach in very real terms this could have turned into a disaster. the first time us combat troops ever went into

he list of marine animals affected by plastic pollution grows. lastic has been consumed by an estimated 90% of seabird species. species of every sea turtle. even our corals are threatened. polluting the marine environment, plastic poses a risk to human health. seeing plastic in our soil, air, and , bodies. plastic particles have been everything from honey and beer to salt and tea. affecting our climate. if plastic was a country, it fifth e the planet's largest emitter of greenhouse gases. plastic production rates anticipated to increase, so will lastics affect some of the climate and oceans. the most important thing to emember about plastic is that it lasts for centuries. this is what makes single use so profoundly flawed. they are created from a material to last forever but are designed to be used once and thrown away. simply improving recycling rates will not solve the plastic crisis. of all the plastic waste ever 9% has been y recycled. that means the vast majority was landfill, incinerated or ended up polluting our natural environment includi

because our ocean's marine animals get in the way. they enacted this over 40 years ago to protect marine mammals and it has worked successfully for almost all of those years. the act ensures thanking activities that may result in incidental harm are thoroughly reviewed rather than permitted in the inadequate process proposed by this bill. seismic air gun testing, offshore drilling, sonar and geo physical surveys can affect marine mammals and i hear the other side falsely claim that these activities have not killed any marine mammals, the best science has demonstrated that there are significant long-term negative impacts on several marine mammal speaksees that do cause their death. this amendment would undermine critical protections by striking the conditions required for permitted activities. it would allow for unmitigated incidental harm, that is without the current safeguards that would allow for the species. is it too much to ask that we require the least practice cabble impact on species or stock? it would have requirements for mo

the marine unit and dive unit were separate units. now our marine unit is extremely robust, one of the best on the west coast. our dive unit and qualifications of our divers is also the same. if you go back to one of our most famous incidents with scott peterson, if you remember, and lacey peterson, i was one of the primary divers in that incident, and we were not consulted initially, but the other departments did not have the capabilities of doing the dive. we were consulted, and we went down instead. many days of time in the water to ultimately find and locate lacey peterson. because our unit is so robust, we are called upon by many other outside agencies, both in san francisco and outside of san francisco just because of the capabilities of our divers. we ask that we can just get some type of policy put in place to help protect the divers and the department. does anybody have any questions? no questions from commissioners? >> move to adopt. >> second. >> thank you for what you do. >> getting in those waters -- >> i can tell you, it

liz kreutz is live in san anselmo in marin county with moe on the impact in the north bay. liz? >> good evening, or i should say very wet evening to all of you, although as bit of a break here in san anselmo in marin county. it has not been like that throughout there. and you cee san anselmo by s looking at the creek through town. the creek levels have gone up. and we do know more rain is on the way. on cecilia's cul-de-sac in novato, the rain has been nonstop. >> over here we have my scientific weather station available at your nearest ace hardware for $2.99. >> cecilia is no scientist, but she enjoys tracking how wet it gets in our backyard. the answer for today, quite a lot. >> that was bone-dry on thursday. and now i mean, it's got a maximum of 5 inches, and it's spilled over. >> it's the same story throughout marin county. novato pd posted these photos on facebook showing flooded roadways near is an marin high and on alameda del prado. by the time we drove the w a the streets were reopen. still, even more rain is on the way. on highway 101, signs are up alerting people to w

iwo jima is considered the marine corps's finest hour. we certainly we have a wonderful memorial here in washington. but i have a slightly different opinion. for me and all my readings, the marine corps's greatest moment may be the choisin reservoir in north korea. for those of you thinking about the marine corps, you must read the story. it is the korean war, we have driven the north koreans back basically to the chinese border. the chinese decide -- it is winter -- they decide to enter the war and they send millions of soldiers against us in the north. the marines are occupying the area around the reservoir. it is minus 30 degrees. human waves of chinese come at the marines, it is 10 to one. 10 to one. one of the reasons people maybe don't associate this as a great moment is because this initiated a strategic withdrawal by the marines. they had to fight their way out from being surrounded 10 to one in -30 degrees. i believe this might be the battle in which the marines earned more medals of honor than any other single battle in their hi

waves of chinese come at the marines, it is 10 to one. maybe the reasons people don't associate this as a great moment is because this initiated a strategic withdrawal by the marines. they had to fight their way out from being surrounded 10 to one in mind this 30 degrees. i believe this might be the battle in which the marines earned more medals of honor than any other battle in their history. i am not sure of that but there is certainly a lot of them and they did not leave anyone behind. there are a lot of good books about this part -- good books about this. for the army, it is of course normandy. i made my first visit to normandy three weeks ago. it was the 75th anniversary of normandy and i was very moved. buriedre 9900 americans in a cemetery. must visit the beach -- if you can call it the inch, where the rangers came againstcally climbed up the germans, literally on top of them. the beachd not defend with med infantry because they considered it basically impregnable. nobody could make it up. but the rangers did. the rangers made it i

the seychelles is aiming to become a model for marine protection around the world in an effort to slow the effects of climate change its president is hoping other countries will take notice we all know that we have a problem what is needed is a responsible global action and there is no or there's no time for blame game. the seychelles on its president are already seeing the effects of climate change they don't want discussion they want action now. think it is a realistic possibility that the seychelles could disappear in our lifetime what should leaders from small countries like this who are on the front lines of climate change what should they be expecting from the big economic powers these next 2 weeks in madrid. so if there are several things that could be debated in madrid one thing is that's. it we've completed to complete the discussions on the paris we're book which is a set of rules to implement the paris agreement and yours should be it should be agreed upon discussions and a set of rules for the article 6 on market mechanisms to achieve that and secondly these cup comes befor
