His first line was golden. "Where's the whiskey? I'm a sailor and you're leaving me with water?" 🤣
IKR
Where's the tot of rum ?
@@georgeb.wolffsohn30 Royal Navy, not ours ;-)
@@henrycolestage7650 OUR navy suffered a sad replacement.
@@RedondoBeach2 Don't nuke it guy. -Guy in Navy
Faces down bullies, and lifts the downtrodden. God Bless Adm. W. McRaven.
That's what I taught my boys, DEUCES
This man drips integrity, pride, patriotism and kindness he really is a shining example. Top notch, respect sir.
I really wish people like him would run for President.
Please have longer interviews with people such as this.
Agree
@@nlx78 yeah, there is only much time for a human. He could do it, but he'd have zero personal time left, I'd imagine at least.
What do want Colbert to be 60 Minutes?
Maky exactly... what is wrong with Colbert? Apparently he interviews three people per show?? Then tell one them you will have them on another day. Good grief. Just when you’re all into it, it’s time to say goodbye. Most news I don’t even bother looking at. It’s people like
Colbert that make me give a hoot about politics in this time and day.
@@notsure1969 yas
Dude this guy sounds like a president
McRaven your country needs you
You both listen to Bret’s idea?
I really encourage everybody (specially dudes from JRE) to see a documentary called (Dirty Wars) made by a great journalist .... he talked about this Admiral and other (important stuff) happened in the middle east .
It used to be a military background was something people cared about when voting for the president.
#DarkHorseDuo
I love that he gives credit to everyone around him, rather than blowing his own horn.
OldRaver1 just like Keanu Reeves talking about John wick. Never never fails to mention his stunt double and team by name. Shows a lot of class for both of them.
@@dshehny You must not have listened to this mans resume if you seriously just compared him to Keanu Reeves, unless that was sarcasm (always hard to tell on comments) then I understand.
@@dlk449 Nah - it's not comparing resumes, it's comparing how different people handle "celebrity." Both men are highly celebrated in their respective fields, and both go to unusual lengths to give creidt where it's due.
@@lynibson8441 Fair enough. Just not a big Keanu fan. Except for Bill & Ted, that was excellent!
@@dlk449 I was never a huge fan of Keanu's until I started seeing what kind of man he truly is. And it's that kind of man who makes sure others get credit rather than blowing his own horn- as the man said above.
This guy should run for President.
ANYBODY ABSOLUTELY ANYBODY IS BETTER, then the orange walking nightmare in office..
@@misslanapford9169 maybe Hilary Clinton lmao
He probably knows too much
Miss Lana. M. Hudson 🖕🏻🖕🏻😂🇺🇸🇺🇸
He can’t win. American voters have no IQ, they won’t vote for an intelligent person.
“Admiral McRaven” is the most admiral name ever
McRaven/Yang bipartisan duo - let’s make it happen
Lets go let go
Hype. Save America.
big rogan guy
fellow JRE fan here eh?
Yes please let's do this Yang is the best. I am checking out this guy because of Bret.
Is it just me, or does this gentleman deserve a lot more than 6 and a half minutes!!
I have the feeling I am not the only one who would want to listen to him share his experiences for hours.
"Where's the Whiskey? I'm a sailor and you give me water?"
legend
It's still water .
Admiral McRaven- a great human being, general and a man with integrity. An ideal candidate for the president of the USA.
@helBob haramburg well he is an American hero unlike Trump the draft dodger coward soooo.
He's an admiral not a general.
Admiral*
In the Navy there are no generals
This is an awesome idea!
What a gentleman. He is a true example of how fine the men and women of the armed forces truly are. This man is an Admiral and he appears to have earned that rank by sheer merit. It makes me proud to think that this is the standard the Navy expects to promote to its highest ranks.
holy smokes, that introduction. the man must have stories.
Yeah I assume that's why he's there promoting his book of stories.
@@ZA-ui1sv yes, like the Iraqi children killed by Saddam Hussein with poison gas.
He probably has stories of killing civilians in Kandahar.
@@vicaravitakka8332 His troops have done horrible stuff, they killed civilians in Afghanistan then took the bullets out of their bodies, and even did not apologize for it. Lots of parents, wives, and sons and daughters were wailing and moaning because of the murders that such horrible people like him have done. You are in a big bubble my friend.
I like this guy. Looking to learn more about him.
"If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed."...Hoo ah!
That speech is absolutely awesome. I love this man and admire him so much.
It’s absolutely true. Especially for boys.
Admiral McRaven's commencement address is one of my all-time favorite CZcams videos! It's over 19 minutes long, but well worth the listen:
czcams.com/video/pxBQLFLei70/video.html
He's Navy. It's Hooyah.
It's "hooyah", dammit. We're not the f'ing Army.
Who’s here after listening about him on the Joe Rogan podcast!?
Fking algorithm fking Eric Bret lmaoooo yang2020 still
thats a great idea that bret came up with. make #darkhorse a thing
Meee
Me
YANG!🇺🇸
Wish I could watch the full unedited interview.
What an incredible man. This man deserves to be honored and looked up to. I come from a military family and every single one of them have such high respect for this man. Thank you sir for your many years of service to our country and every one of us. Love you Stephen Colbert!
Why should he be honored, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are illegal and unjustified
Stephen, I'm a huge fan, but... You asked him a pertinent question up front, the answer to which I really wanted to hear, & then diverted him to a trivial discussion of John Bolton's mustache, then veered off to his book! This man obviously has important insights & should be allowed to answer them.
I'm always impressed by how "nimble on his feet" Colbert is with his vast variety of guests, but this is the first time I felt that he didn't know how to interact. While the interview was cordial, it seemed awkward, like a guy on a first date with someone he really wants to impress.
He was there to promote his book, after all. Colbert was just trying to keep the Admirals lane open to switch into plugging his book.
Agreed, as if colbert was afraid the General would say something good about something😁
Mcraven wasn’t gonna criticize Bolton and Colbert picked up on that, the mustache and book questions where trying to cover up the awkwardness from that
Yeah. I really wanted to hear his answer! I got annoyed when I realized Colbert was over into a mustache! I waited for this?! 😤
Thank you for your service, Admiral McRaven! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Is this meant to be an insult via play on name? Think it's McRaven, not McCraven
Guess its just a typo, seems respectful enough
@@Woodrow512
AGREED... Put your hands up (ALL OF YOU) Who hasn't put Something wrong with auto correct.... The dam thing takes over when your typing.
Thank you everyone for pointing out my misspelling!! I have edited it. 🙏 Namaste

We are here to help. Especially the good ones. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🐍
Hands down the coolest and the most badass guy ever to be on this show.
Make these kind of interviews next time longer. He clearly has a lot to say.
Yes if only there was a format people could tell their stories at length and anyone could consume them in their own time ... I got sidetracked, what was he promoting again?
Yes please.
@@randomlineofletters His book and just sharing short stories and being there as an all round cool frood. That is what seems to me.
Tom Hanks should totally play this guy!!!
You cant play capt phillips and the guy who saved him lol
Still a good choice though.. If he hadnt played Captain Philips
whoops
+
Taha Molavi ~ Kill two birds: one of Hank's patented solid hero roles, and also another Splash sequel?
Ed Harris should play him
Well that was way shorter than it deserved to be!!
Good things don't last long
He didn't have any rotten comments about any republicans. He's no fun for Corbet. That's why he wasn't on longer. Too intelligent! Not a slime ball!
If this was the whole interview it seemed a bit superficial. But maybe otherwise it wouldn’t have matched the format of the show.
We need more people like this to run for president. True patriots. RIP McCain
You had John Glenn BUT no one voted for him in the 1984 Democratic Primaries. Dems put Mondale forward and the elections were a drubbing with Reagan winning BIG.
lol
I agree. RIP John McCain.
Any high ranking officer that goes out on such a high risk mission with the enlisted door kickers has my respect.
his appearance on a comedy show was a high risk mission. checkmate!

Yesterday i watched joe organ and Bret weinsteins interview with “bill McRaven now & Andrew yang ticket” today this pops up as recommended. Lol i for one welcome our sky net overlords
Yeah same. Thank you FBI agents!
same here man
Same here lol
same
Interesting, I didn't watch that and this popped up for me. Interesting...
Imagine having Andrew Yang and Admiral McRaven talking about the good of the American public and establishing the next four years. I'd trust them, can't find ANYONE we can at this point, it'd be a game changer. #Darkhorse #YangGang #HumanityFirst #America
I’m writing them in.
Yes. Joe "Yang/McRaven" Rogan spoke of this.
Would vote for this
lol u got that from the Joe Rogan podcast
You just watched Joe Rogan , huh?
Can never forget his famous quote
Start the day by making you bed
I loved his first book, looking forward to read this one too. This guy is embodiment of integrity
Nadia M nadia what is the name of his book
He's a really good man.
Where is the whiskey?!!! 🤣 Wasn't expecting that
I’m with Brett Weinstein - Mr. McRaven we would love for you to run for President. Your country needs you, sir.
C - Shay I agree!
FYI - I'm an Australian who went to college in America and I have maintained that America DOES NOT lack for leaders but it does lack for POLITICAL LEADERSHIP. Admiral McRaven is one of the examples I give others and if you have seen his UoT 2014 Commencement speech you'd know why. Walter Payton is another who I hold in the highest regard and is sadly missed.
If you look through many fields of endeavor Americans have great people and great leaders with 1 exception - Politics.
I actually told a couple of people months ago that my pick as an alternate team for the election was McRaven with Yang as his VP running on an independent ticket.
Just imagine if McRaven had have debated Trump & Biden on leading America forward. I think Biden would have just stepped away and Trump would have embarrassed himself beyond all measure.
Just imagine where America would be right now if McRaven was President Elect (its December 10 - 4 days before the Electoral College votes)
This guy deserves a Standing Ovation Ever Time He Shows Up🙏🏼🦅🇺🇸🦅☮️
This man is the real hero to look upto. What a personality. You feel inspired and pumped up just by listening to him
He's great! I love how he avoids Stephen's trying to make him speak badly about others!
We need more of this type of guy.
Anyone else here coming from the Joe Rogan Podcast?
Who?
It is nice to see the Admiral having a bit of fun, a full and complete man of integrity.
Literally one of the three people I want to meet before I check out. This man defines leadership in every way possible.
His speech on motivational hub is one of the best things I've ever had the privilege of listening to
"I'm a sailor, you left me water?"
LOL
I'm a retired USN enlisted sub sailor- the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story is that the fairy tale starts with the phrase "Once upon a time..."-FWIW, I had the privilege of working with SEAL teams on training missions on several occasions- it doesn't get any better than them.
Great interview.
Excellent answers to appropriate questions.
How dare you only give us 6 minutes with a man like that, something tells me he could tell me stories for every moment of the rest of my life and I’d never be bored. ☝️If I had full security clearance.
"I'm a sailor and you left me water?"
Hot damn that made me burst out into laughter. Nice. :)
This man will be secretary of defense one day
Traditionally, high ranking officers don't make the jump to the civilian leadership side, and by law the secretary of defense must have been a civilian for the 7 years before his appointment. But any off the democrats running for president who don't have much military experience should consider him as a VP.
Great. Maybe then more objectives will be achieved.
@@chasef89 He retired in 2014, so by 2021 he's elligible to be SecDef
Zack Asmus on what charges exactly?! Organization of killing Osama Bin Laden?
@@ZA-ui1sv for what exactly? was it the rescuing of an innocent? or the execution of a vicious killer?
I couldn't imagine that kind of responsibility. Commanding Officer for ALL special forces worldwide. That's insane how one man can handle that. Respect.
Wish this interview had been a 2 or 3 parter, he seemed to have a lot of interesting things to say. Bring him back!
Thank you for your service Admiral McRaven!
Just Love this Dude, I have been watching his interviews and his such a great guy. Thanks for your service.
That's my commander right there. A man with honor and dignity and I'm proud to serve under his command. Hooyah Admiral Mac!
That dude rocks! I very much like his speech for the graduates.
Jesus christ this man's seen it all, huge respect.
Well show some respect and not take the LORD'S name in vain .God would appreciate it and so does the admiral
Then why don't you show some respect? Taking the LORD'S name in vain is not respectful to God or the Admiral . Both would be pleased if you stopped doing that.
William Froh who made you God’s spokesperson?
@@williamfroh8830 key words: "in vain". It was absolutely justified use here and not in vain.
@@williamfroh8830 You are why some people choose to distance themselves from religion! You holier than thou types!
i finished listening to his audiobook "Sea Stories"; what a phenomenal career he's had. He's been face to face with Saddam Hussein and touched the dead body of Osama Bin Laden. The stars really lined up for this man.
This interview was one of the awesome ones because the person being interviewed is the '1'
Straight forward & no bullshit person.
My idol
God bless you sir
Men like this are what remind me why I joined. Even on the shittiest day .. it is comforting to know we both wear that flag for this amazing country. I wouldn't change it for anything.🇺🇲
I would follow this guy into any battle.
A true American Hero.
Everyone, there are still people we can look up to.
Hearing this man's address at UT 2014 .... instantly captivated by the stories, sheer willpower and mindset of these people ! mostly it was very inspiring ! /Salute
Who came here after his speech in University of texas
👍👇🏻
"If you wanna change the world, start off by making your bed"
The US to man is so fortunate to have leaders like McRaven studded throughout your history and future
Just finished reading his book. It’s wonderful. He’s a masterful storyteller and remarkably humble. A real life LG Paladin.
Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein brought me here
This guy is an absolute LEGEND.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
In his mind, certainly.
This guys cover letter has more substance in it, than Trumps entire resume.
thats his probelm
Ain't that the truth...
@Vova Platonov the guy that saved the country from the greatest economic disaster in world history
more interviews like this Stephen please
A great Admiral, a man of great integrity, that was well respected by all.
Big respect for this guy. A well accomplished man. He should be the next candidate for the office 🤟
True patriot.
@@ZA-ui1sv you are an idiot
@@ZA-ui1sv
Exactly! # criminal's call sign. Devil's horns 🤟🤟
Much more of one than tRUMP
Gabriele Beimler what about the anti war ones??? Forgot about those huh
What a waste of an opportunity. I like Stephen Colbert usually, but he could've asked so many interesting questions of this man.
If Adm McRaven is a Phd, Colbert is third grade. The level of knowledge, sophistication, morals, and ethics is on a different level with the Admiral. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
i like him! let do this yanggang!
I'm all for it!!
I'm so excited for us to be back in the race w Yang 🧢

We just want a real leader. How hard is it for America to elect one wtf
His speech is amazing.
I love this man... love his stories... just wish I could have dinner with this guy , eat good food and just listen to him tell stories. May not be a god fearing man , won’t judge but you did get out miraculously, thank GOD!
In the translated words of Admiral Bill: “[John Bolton] has grown a great deck swabbing instrument under that nose of his. It would have been useful in my younger years as an officer.”
I was once tasked with escorting Saddam to one of his court hearings. The guy whined about EVERYTHING. But the interesting/ ironic thing is that he would have never allowed ISIS or Al Qaeda to operate within Iraq, not for one second. They would have been a threat to his absolute authority and he would have spared no expense to exterminate them. I spent almost 3 of my 21 year military career in Iraq and spoke to dozens of Iraqi citizens who told me plainly that if Saddam would have stayed within the borders of the country and left the Kurds alone he was actually the type of leader that they needed at the time and was preferable to the total chaos that Bush began and Obama continued.
No! Tell that to the Kurds who were tormented by this demonized maggot. Speak truth have compassion
Saddam did not complain he hated people who invade his country based on lies. He faced betrayal during the war.
@@illestmelody6909 like he was anything good. Iraq is a dumpster fire of a country even before invasion. There are no “if’s and buts “ in history only outcomes. If he would have played well with others and actually became a decent leader than a religious nut case him along with whole of Iraq would have been much better off. Imo but history doesn’t work on retrospect. Ego never let Saddam choose the better path. Playing against USA will leave you in stitches. It’s a war you never wanna start. Unless you are a military superpower please don’t try to fight a war against America , Russia , China or India. It will never end well for you regardless of your resources.
Man, that whiskey bit at the beginning was golden. Loved it.
That 15s youtube ad before the video was way longer than the 6.5min interview with the Admiral.
His strides, just commanding...
From the jump, "what happened to the whiskey?"
"I'm a sailor, you left me water?!?!?"
I like this guy and I don't know who he is, yet...
But I'll be lookin into it.
Navy SEAL, all you need to know.
“I’m a sailor and you left me water?” I’m fuckin dying
I would have really liked to hear more from McRaven. I hope you guys will make interviews with people of this gravitas a little longer in the future.
I'll spare the sarcasm, HE HAS A BOOK, READ IT! IT'S EVERYTHING YOU'RE ASKING FOR.
His book is what he was promoting!
@@czoom51 actually, I am reading it.
This clip was labeled Why Adm William McRaven challenged Donald Trump... that wasn't in this clip..
ursaltydog McRaven challenges Trump by his very existence.
I think there should be a national push to have McRaven run for the presidency as an independent. A better leader for the nation there is none.
Bonafide bamf right there. Wish I would have had the honor of serving under him.
Read his first book, true Patriot Hero!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
No 3rd parties.
WOW! Now there's a man of substance! I'm ordering his book now!
Colbert just won"t let him talk! And thinks everthing should have a joke..This man has so much to say and offer.
this dude needs to jump on a podcast
Colbert talked for the most of the segment and didn't manage to ask him anything interesting. At least McRaven's capsizing story could be turned into Splash 2.
I know that voice with my eyes closed. This man got me out of a dark place with 15 minutes of advice that he gave to a Texas graduating class. "If you make your bed, you will have completed the first task of the day. You will have a sense of accomplishment. Even if you have the worse of days, you know that you will come home to a made bed. If you want to change the world, start with making your bed". If you havent seen his video, look it up.
Mcgraven for President!! Great guy!! Thank you for your service Sir!! God bless you n family
First thing he did was ask for whiskey, absolute legend.
I made it a goal the moment i wake up to make my bed because of this man! Ive always been a ‘its going to get messy again anyway’ guy until i read his first book
Yeah, that doesn't fly in my house. I just come back with, " Why do you eat? You're just going to get hungry again."
Stephen, I very rarely thumbs down ANY video, but you did not give this American Hero enough time to share his wisdom.
That was a fun interview
Yang/McRaven 2020
Yes!!
I half expected him to announce he was running for prez.
I would like to see Stephen do more interviews with past high ranking military. They have a unique insight into how the executive works.
you killed the guy, you made it a worldwide show, you had your victory, no need to tell the world what a person might or not do or behave when he knows he will be going to die... and no matter how big and brave and good this man has done. thats no do
