Above is the preview. The full interview is 5 hours. Hope to finish it on the drive home today.

Craighead is a from SAS, tier one operator who was working with the Kenyan Army when Islamic terrorist attacked a hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. He went "off script" to save over 700 lives at a hotel complex. He took off the Union Jack patch on his gear and replaced it with Blackbeard's Flag (black patch with skeleton piercing a heart) and went in all alone. Rifle, balaclava, Armani jeans. Obviously, I'm not done but so far this has been an amazing story of self-sacrifice, faith, and heroism. His reward today, he would be arrested if he returned to England.

For you gun nuts, where can I pick up a suppressor that makes that sound around the 4:22 mark?

I watched it and can 100% recommend. The woman telling her story and her realization about safety, taking it for granted, and not appreciating things until that moment was the hardest hitting for me. Wish we could bottle her lesson and administer to a good portion of the west.

It was a tongue and cheek comment based on the "sound" Christian was making when simulating firing the rifle.

It was a tongue in cheek comment based on people calling it a silencer when it's actually a suppressor.

Hiram Maxim patented the first one and the title of the patent was "Silencer For Guns". Chew on that.

This will become a regular occurrence in the US at some point if we continue letting the mooslims in.

She wrote a great book about it all called The Terrorist Attack Girl and did a great job putting her emotions on the paper. Changed her view of the world, was somewhat of a liberal and now understands how the real world works. Very much appreciates what Christian did. The letter she wrote him hits the heart.

Christian is not allowed in England and will be arrested if he ever goes back. They are trying to hit him for speaking with a foreign agent (when accepting and visiting Trump in the White House) and for speaking down about the government. Shortly after the attack he held a ton of guilt for not saving more but over time realized his entire life led to the moment where his actions saved over 700 people.

Sad how little support he has gotten from his country but we will gladly take him here in the USA. He had to spend over $130k of his own money in legal fees to get the book published.

Apparently, a bunch of midlevel bureaucrats were upset because they didn't get a "say" in how the events played out. They initially tried to get him on acting without orders. However, he well documented and transmitted orders he was given on the ground which included direct orders from the President and NSA of Keyna to "lead his men". To punish him, they pretty much downplayed and ignored him.

Fast forward several months, he was in Washington DC by invitation of military and security forces who were interested in learning about the events that day for real world training. While there, the American NSA (I forget his name, Trumps first term), asked him if he would like to meet the POTUS. He was brought in to the Oval office at recounts Trump walked over and shook his hand and thanked him for saving American lives. No cameras. No media. Nothing for Trump to gain. It was genuine thanks and the first time a high-ranking government official thanked him. The TDS across the pond went nuts and now they are claiming he broke all kind of laws including sharing secret information, meeting with foreign agent... They are throwing the book harder at him then any leader of a rape gang.



For those who missed the point of my suppresser comment, listen to this 5 seconds:

Listened to this over the weekend. Outstanding recommendation OP!

After listening to this and learning that these woke countries are destroying their SF teams, how long before Trump comes up with the American Foreign Legion? Sounds like Australian SAS and British SAS would join fairly quickly.

I know a guy here on N Padre who was a former SAS. He's a BIG guy and looks like no one you'd ever want to **** with.

Nicest guy in the world.
You can turn off signatures, btw

I heard him mention that the English Admiral who congratulated him on a job well done got in trouble for it.

I am sure it will be talked about in this interview; I haven't watched it yet, but I saw the first one he did with Sean Ryan. Everyone should listen to the part about the hitchhiker he picked up that very morning and their conversation. Crazy thing to learn from a dude on the side of the road that you are about to be the Right Hand of God.
