I did 26 active duty.(30:28) • Frog Men – if they're smart – when they get into trouble and get caught. If you'll say these mortal words – and the officers will laugh at this – “Well, XO, it seemed the logical thing to do at the time, but in retrospect I see the folly of my decision-making and I will stand accountable for my actions. (36:03) • “Okay, you had your fuck up, prove it's a hiccup and it's not a habit, because if it's a habit you're gonna be very short lived in this community. (36:51) • “I love being a team guy.” (40:21) • [Melanie] Can you walk us through that bank robbery?” (54:24 – 56:40) • [Marcus] We're on this race track, and there's 3 cars – side by side. We'd be driving down this track at full speed, and then they'll be like: “You got shot – you're out. And he would lean on the steering wheel while we're racing and we'd have to pull him into the back seat. Meanwhile, the other guys are shooting us with paintballs. (60:35) • Don't be that guy that has the only information. Pass it on to everybody so everybody knows. (64:08) • The combat swimmer – no bubbles. You don't want to be seen. You don't want to have bubbles come up. (66:49) • His [Marcus'] Trident award was the last one awarded by the team. (70:28) • [Marcus] “You're not allowed to touch a Trident or go near one. (74:40) • Chris' involvement with Red Wing (84:44 – 99:00) • I've got some good news, and bad news. Bad news is we've gotta tough job and there's no way around it.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 29 at 3 p.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's last-ditch plan to keep the government temporarily open has collapsed. Friday's vote a day before the deadline makes a government shutdown almost certain. The vote was 198-232, with 21 hard-right Republicans voting to sink the package. The White House and Democrats called the Republican package with its steep spending cuts of up to 30% too extreme. The bill included severe border security provisions demanded by the hard-right flank. The bill would've kept government operations open through Oct. 31. The Senate is working on its own bipartisan plan that is widely supported by both parties to continue funding at current levels. The Senate plan is headed for votes this weekend. LAS VEGAS (AP) — A grand jury in Las Vegas has indicted one of the last living witnesses to the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur in the rapper's death. Duane “Keffe D” Davis was charged Friday with murder. Davis is the uncle of the suspected shooter and has long been linked to the case. He has admitted publicly that he was in the car with his nephew when Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip. The nephew was fatally shot two years later in California. Las Vegas police searched Davis' home in mid-July. DETROIT (AP) — The United Auto Workers union expanded its strikes against Detroit automakers, ordering 7,000 more workers to walk off the job in Illinois and Michigan. The move announced Friday is supposed to put more pressure on the companies to improve their offers. It marked the second time the union has widened the walkout, which started two weeks ago at three assembly plants. The most recent additions are a Ford plant in Chicago and a General Motors assembly factory near Lansing. Union President Shawn Fain told workers in a video appearance that the strikes were escalated because Ford and GM refused “to make meaningful progress” in contract talks. BALTIMORE (AP) — The Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore announced Friday it filed for Chapter 11 reorganization days before a new state law goes into effect removing the statute of limitations on child sex abuse claims and allowing victims to sue their abusers decades after the fact. In a statement posted on the archdiocese website, Archbishop William E. Lori says the step will “allow the archdiocese to equitably compensate victim-survivors of child sexual abuse” while the local church continues its mission and ministries. On Sunday, Maryland will end the state's statute of limitations for when civil lawsuits for child sexual abuse can be filed against institutions. Victims are already poised to file lawsuits when the law takes effect. WASHINGTON (AP) — Tributes are pouring in for Dianne Feinstein, the trailblazing California senator, who has died at 90. President Joe Biden called her “a true trailblazer." Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton said the same. Opening the Senate on Friday, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that “earlier this morning, we lost a giant in the Senate.” She was an advocate for liberal priorities but was also known as a pragmatic lawmaker who reached out to Republicans. She had been in failing health for months, but refused growing requests to retire. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Navy will begin randomly testing its special operations forces for steriods and other performance-enhancing drugs beginning in November. It's a groundbreaking step that military leaders have long resisted. Rear Adm. Keith Davids, the commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, announced the new program Friday in a message to his force. He says it is necessary to protect their health, safety and military readiness. A driving factor in the announcement was the death of a Navy SEAL candidate early last year. It has been in the works for months. BEIRUT (AP) — The Armenian diaspora has been stunned by the swift fall of the Armenian-majority enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijani troops and the exodus of much of its population. Traumatized by a widely acknowledged genocide a century ago, Armenians now fear the erasure of what they consider a key and beloved part of their historic homeland. Protests have been held in Lebanon, Europe and the United States, home to large Armenian populations, the descendants of genocide survivors. Outside the modern country of Armenia itself, the mountainous land was one of the only surviving parts of a heartland that centuries ago stretched across what is now eastern Turkey, into the Caucasus region and western Iran. Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered one of the top commanders of the Wagner military contractor to take charge of “volunteer units” fighting in Ukraine. The order signals the Kremlin's effort to keep using the mercenaries after the death of their chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin. Putin told Andrei Troshev that his task is to form volunteer units that could perform combat tasks, primarily in the war zone. The meeting appeared to reflect the Kremlin's plan to redeploy some of Wagner mercenaries to the front line in Ukraine following their brief mutiny in June and Prigozhin's suspicious death in a plane crash Aug. 23. JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. (AP) — Army Gen. Mark Milley delivered a full-throated defense of democracy and not-so-subtle swipes at former President Donald Trump during a packed ceremony as he closed out his four, often tumultuous years as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Milley never mentioned the former president by name. but he practically shouted that the U.S. military swears to protect the Constitution “against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic.” As chairman, Milley pushed back against a host of Trump's plans. President Joe Biden also spoke at Friday's ceremony and he continued the democracy theme. He praised Milley's staunch defense of the Constitution, which he said “has always been Mark's North Star.” LOS ANGELES (AP) — iHeartRadio has unveiled its star-studded 2023 Jingle Ball lineup, including performances by Olivia Rodrigo, Usher, Nicki Minaj, SZA, Niall Horan, and Jelly Roll. The 11-city tour will hit Tampa and the Miami area, the Dallas area, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Other acts include OneRepublic, AJR, Sabrina Carpenter, Miguel, Big Time Rush, NCT DREAM, Flo Rida. The concert will be carried live across the country on iHeartRadio and the iHeartRadio app. Under a new agreement with ABC, a television special will air Dec. 21. Tickets go on sale for the general public Oct. 6. PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona and Utah will keep iconic national parks in those states open if a federal government shutdown cuts off funding nationwide. People can keep visiting Arizona's orange-striped Grand Canyon and the sheer red cliffs of Utah's Zion Valley. Most importantly for state budgets, visitors can keep spending their money near the parks. A cutoff could come Sunday. The economic impact of the national parks is so important that Arizona's Democratic governor and Utah's Republican governor have decided to invest state funds in keeping Grand Canyon, Zion, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Canyonlands national parks open. For Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, it's a simple question of economics. NEW YORK (AP) — TikTok has become a key marketing channel for vendors promoting steroids and other bodybuilding drugs to millions of the app's users, according to a report released Thursday that the social media company disputes. In the study, the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate says popular videos encouraging use of the products for aesthetic or athletic gain are being posted by influencers who often downplay the risks associated with them. TikTok spokesperson Ben Rathe criticized the report, saying the group's methodology doesn't distinguish between harmful videos and positive content that talks about recovery from steroids or their side effects. Deion Sanders' immediate impact after taking over a Colorado football program that won just one game last year is providing hope for other Black coaches looking to land Power Five jobs. There are only 14 Black head coaches roaming the sidelines at the 133 Football Bowl Subdivision programs while roughly half the players are Black. Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman and Penn State's James Franklin are the only ones at what would be considered traditional powerhouses. It's too early to say whether the national attention that Sanders has generated leads to more opportunities for Black coaches but it has sparked conversations. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is asking America's colleges to step up their efforts to make campuses more racially diverse. A new Education Department report urges schools to boost scholarships and minority recruiting and place “meaningful emphasis” on the adversity students face because of their race or finances. The report promotes strategies to boost diversity in the wake of a Supreme Court decision from June barring colleges from considering the race of applicants in the admission process. It fulfills a request from President Joe Biden to help colleges advance diversity without running afoul of the court's decision. BOSTON (AP) — The U.S. military, employers and economic development specialists have been raising alarms about the implications of American students' low math scores for the country's competitiveness and national security. The Defense Department calls for a major initiative to support education in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. The number of jobs in math occupations is projected to grow dramatically, but only one in five college-bound American high school students is prepared for college-level courses in STEM, according to the National Science and Technology Council. More research is showing that we carry genes from other kinds of ancient humans, and their DNA affects our lives today. DNA research has found that our Homo sapiens ancestors mated with Neanderthals and Denisovans long ago. We were the only ones to survive, which may have to do with how our ancestors were able to adapt to many parts of the world. But we still carry these other groups in our genes. And a growing body of science is uncovering how their DNA affects us today. Neanderthal genes have been linked with our immune systems and COVID-19 response, while Denisovan genes may help adapt to high altitudes. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

https://markdivine.com/ About Mark Divine Mark is from upstate New York and did his formal undergraduate education at Colgate University. His years at Colgate University were focused on athletic endeavors such as competitive swimming, rowing and triathlon racing, interrupted by brief episodes of academic activity. After graduation from “the Gate” Mark started his professional career as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand in New York City. Clients included luminous and no-longer existent financial firms such as Solomon Brothers and Paine Webber. Four painful years later, with an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business in his briefcase, he left behind the suit to pursue his inner vision to become a Navy SEAL officer. He was 26 when he graduated as honor-man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class 171. Mark was fortunate to serve with many great men and women on active duty for nine year and in the reserves for eleven…retiring at the rank of Commander in 2011. After leaving active duty in 1997, Mark started his second business career as an entrepreneur. He co-founded the successful Coronado Brewing Company and launched NavySEALs.com in the year he left the active duty Navy. NavySEALs.com is the leading web site for gear and information about the SEALs. US Tactical was next, gaining contracts with Naval Special Warfare Group ONE for training support, and the Navy Recruiting Command for a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL, SWCC, EOD and Diver candidates. Mark's business career was interrupted by a stint as an Adjunct Professor of Leadership at the University of San Diego, where he was pursuing his Doctorate in Leadership, then by a one year recall to active duty in 2004. The recall took him to Baghdad with SEAL Team One to conduct a special project for Naval Special Warfare Command surrounding the role of the USMC in Special Operations. In 2007 he launched his CrossFit affiliate and the now internationally known SEALFIT program to provide transformational personal and team training experiences. The training utilizes an integrated warrior development model he developed, called Unbeatable Mind, which draws from his 20 years as a SEAL and business leader, 25 years as a martial artist and 15 years as yoga practitioner. SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind are uniquely effective at elevating clients to a higher level of operating, thinking and leading – encompassing the full spectrum of human experience – Body, Mind and Spirit in Self, Team and Organization.

This week in the studio 2 men who couldn't come from more different worlds. The first, born in Mosul, Iraq, someone who watched his country be torn apart from the inside out. He is not only a veteran of the Iraqi Army but also the only interpreter to ever receive the Navy Seal Trident. His quick thinking, his ability to read a room and the intentions of the people in it, and his willingness to push himself further and faster than any other contracted worker made him a huge asset to the US soldiers and Special Operators that he worked with. This man not only risked everything to make the country of Iraq a better place for future generations, but now a citizen of the United States, is training future warfighters in cultural affairs in order to make them a more rounded warrior. The second, a retired Command Master Chief Navy SEAL who comes from a punk rock background and who in his 27 years of service was assigned to SEAL Teams 1,3, 7, Naval Special Warfare Development Group, Naval Special Warfare Command, and Naval Special Warfare Group One. This guest has numerous deployments all over the globe in support of US operations to include the Middle East where he met tonight's other guest while working in Baghdad as the Senior Enlisted Advisor to an 80 man Task Force. This guest was instrumental in the efforts to get not only his friend and teammate, but also his entire family to the United States, where they could finally live the life that they had always dreamed of living. This story could not have more action, plot twists, and cast of characters if it was a best selling thriller novel. It is my pleasure to introduce Codename Johnny Walker and Jason Tuschen……

Andrew Desany is a Navy SEAL Commander in the United States. Navy SEALs are the U.S. Navy´s primary special operations force and a component of the Naval Special Warfare Command. The Navy SEALs main functions are conducting small-unit special operation missions; and they are trained to operate in all the environments (Sea, Air and Land) for which they are named. SEALs are also prepared to operate in climate extremes of scorching desert, freezing Arctic, and humid jungle. The SEALs' current pursuit of elusive, dangerous and high-priority terrorist targets has them operating in remote, mountainous regions of Afghanistan, and in cities torn by factional violence, such as Baghdad, Iraq. Colin Browning is a Marine Corp Infantry officer. Infantry Officers lead attacks, defensive operations, and other tactical missions. They are responsible for the discipline, morale, and welfare of their unit's personnel. To fulfill these responsibilities, they evaluate the operational situation and lead their troops in executing offensive and defensive maneuvers. Because infantry officers must be prepared to lead their troops anywhere in the world that the infantry is needed, they work and train in all climates and weather conditions. During training exercises, as in real combat situations, infantry officers work, eat, and sleep outdoors and in tents.

Tell me a little bit about yourself. Where did you grow up, and what didyour parents do?  So, I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, actually in the heart of Detroit. My dad was injournalism and marketing; he worked for multiple companies from CompuwareFortune 500 to EDS, and then he got into a real estate, which he currently stilldoes. And my mother has worked in medicine for the last 30-plus years, workingin oncology and then followed by nephrology. My parents have been go-getters their whole life. I grew up in Detroitand it’s been a great life. My parents divorced when I was five years old but theyparented me well together and managed to keep the divorce from hurting therelationship for the family, so it was great. I love my parents dearly, and theygave me everything I needed to survive in life, so super grateful.It’s kind of how it went, just moved off outside of Detroit to the suburbs andthen moved into an area called Clinton Township Michigan, or Macomb County,where I ended up finishing up school high school there at Chippewa Valley HighSchool. And that's where I was influenced by a teacher into the service.   So, tell me a little bit about yourself, and how long have you served behind the frontline for, and in what capacity in the Navy SEALs? Let’s see, a little bit about myself. I played hockey growing up I always lovedsports, I love team sports. I've always been the guy that had a nickname; theyused to call me Purp or Pond Rocket Parrot in hockey. Because in Michigan weplay a lot of pond hockey outside as well as inside. And then I went to Perrote, andthe French men don’t know where that came from. And then I went to in theSoup in the SEAL Teams, and then it’s been Birdman ever since. But, growing up in Michigan, I love Michigan. I think that it’s a place thateverybody needs to visit. People don't really get a good idea Michigan, theythink it's Detroit, they think it's a dangerous place, and it's all city, and it’s not. It's a gorgeous place, the north part of Michigan is beautiful, gorgeous lakes, you can't get enough water there. It's a place that you need to see, the fall time you get change of colors everywhere and I love it, that's my home. Idon't consider Texas my home I consider Michigan my home, will always be. I served eight years in the military, all of that in the SEAL Teams if not in training,but all in Naval Special Warfare. I think I did three months outside of NavalSpecial Warfare in the beginning through boot camp and then my A school, andthen after that it was all with the Naval Special Warfare Command. So, I wentthrough BUD/S class 245, 246. After the program, I went to SEAL Team 7, and Iserved for six years at SEAL Team 7. I was in Alpha platoon, two platoons, I went to Foxtrot platoon, and then I wentover to Advanced Training Command as an instructor for just under a yearbefore I got out of service. Eight years in San Diego, actually in Coronado. It waswonderful, it was like an unbelievable experience. We were going out a lot andwould come back home, I would come back to my house in San Diego and thinkit was a vacation home. So it's super cool. I was blessed. You get everything you can possibly imagine from the military, youget GI Bill, college tuition, you get friends that will last a lifetime, you get to doepic things, and you get to do this all in the name of protecting the nation. Foranybody who’s messing around with the idea of wanting to join the military, I saydon't hesitate, do it. And anybody who doesn't know anything about the militaryI think they should go and do some more research and learn about it because it'sincredible. It was wonderful for me; it was everything I needed. Served eightyears and then I decided to move out to the Dallas Texas to pick a job and trynew things.   How was school for you, and what made you become a Navy SEAL?  School for me was difficult, I just was not entertained by teaching, teachers, anykind of academics, it was all boring to me. I always excelled in the physic

  We’ve all heard how difficult it can be to become a Navy SEAL – the physical challenges alone can make or break one’s success. Today’s guest and host of The Unbeatable Mind podcast, Mark Divine, had that part covered, but he ensured his success by mastering his thoughts as well.   From a disempowered background and core story, Mark didn’t always have dreams of becoming a Navy SEAL. In fact, he actually had a successful career as a CPA, but he longed for something more that also appealed to his athletic side.   Tune in to find out how Mark shifted his thought patterns and discarded those that didn’t work to accomplish his goals then and how he continues to apply those skills in his life and businesses now. I love how Mark’s approach links the heart and mind – you’re going to be amazed at just how simple it can be once you can quiet your mind and focus on one task at a time.   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: What led you to begin you Zen practice? What were some of the core beliefs of your family? What was the driver to become a Navy SEAL? Why did you find the process of becoming a Navy SEAL to be “easier?” If someone is feeling disempowered, what would you recommend for a visualization? What goes on in regard to training at your retreats? How can you break through mentally? What are you most excited about right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Mark went from CPA to Navy SEAL Mark’s Zen and meditation practice Changing the patterns of your thoughts from disempowering to empowering What it means to “practice on the bench” The BIG Four Skills (1. Breath Control 2. Maintaining, Managing and Curating Positive Direction of Emotions and Thinking 3. Always Hold an Image of What Success Looks Like and 4. Front Sight Focus) The importance and power of visualization Integrative training with mind and heart The Box-Breathing technique Disengaging from past events to free up energy The different levels of resiliency   Quotes:   “When I started asking better questions, then I started to get different answers.”   “The absence of thought is when the answers came to me.”   “Use your imagination to see a version of you that’s whole.”   “If you can see it, you can speak it and then you can believe it.”   “Create a positive memory of the future.”   “Sever the negative energy of the past so you can attract the force of the future which pulls you toward the future.”   “We always have value and a gift to give, no matter what happens to use, as long as we’re here.”   -- Mark is from upstate New York and did his formal undergraduate education at Colgate University. His years at Colgate University were focused on athletic endeavors such as competitive swimming, rowing and triathlon racing, interrupted by brief episodes of academic activity. After graduation from "the Gate" Mark started his professional career as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand in New York City. Clients included luminous and no-longer existent financial firms such as Solomon Brothers and Paine Webber.  Four years later, with an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business in his briefcase, he left behind the suit to pursue his inner vision to become a Navy SEAL officer. He was 26 when he graduated as Honor Man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class 170. Mark was fortunate to serve with many great men and women on active duty for nine years and in the reserves for eleven...retiring at the rank of Commander in 2011. After leaving active duty in 1997, Mark started his second business career as an entrepreneur. He co-founded the successful Coronado Brewing Company and launched NavySEALs.com in the same year he left active duty. To this day, it is the leading website for gear and information about the SEALs.  Mark's business career was interrupted by a stint as an Adjunct Professor of Leadership at the University of San Diego, where he was pursuing his Doctorate in Leadership, then by a one-year recall to active duty in 2004. The recall took him to Baghdad with SEAL Team One to conduct a special project for Naval Special Warfare Command surrounding the role of the USMC in Special Operations. While in Iraq, Mark developed Kokoro Yoga, which allows you to see, feel, hear, and live the goal you are looking to achieve through warrior visualization.  In 2007 he launched his CrossFit affiliate and the now internationally known SEALFIT program to provide transformational personal and team training experiences. The training utilizes an integrated warrior development model he developed, called Unbeatable Mind, which draws from his 20 years as a SEAL and business leader, 25 years as a martial artist and 15 years as yoga practitioner.  He now hosts a highly rated podcast on iTunes called Unbeatable Mind. SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind are uniquely effective at elevating clients to a higher level of operating, thinking and leading - encompassing the full spectrum of human experience: Body, Mind and Spirit in Self, Team and Organization. Mark advises and trains a diverse group of clients through his Unbeatable Mind and SEALFIT programs including: Olympic medalists, CEOs, Superbowl champions and other professional athletes.    Resources:   The Unbeatable Mind Podcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unbeatable-mind-podcast-with-mark-divine/id955637330?mt=2   UnbeatableMind.com SealFit.com Books: The Unbeatable Mind by Mark Divine http://a.co/36s1ZH8   The Way of the Seal by Mark Divine http://a.co/c0ncWFr IG: @sealfit Checkout my website at https://loriharder.com.

His years at Colgate University were focused on athletic endeavors such as competitive swimming, rowing and triathlon racing, interrupted by brief episodes of academic activity. After graduation from “the Gate” Mark started his professional career as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand in New York City. Clients included luminous and no-longer existent financial firms such as Solomon Brothers and Paine Webber. Four painful years later, with an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business in his briefcase, he left behind the suit to pursue his inner vision to become a Navy SEAL officer. He was 26 when he graduated as honor-man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class 171. Mark was fortunate to serve with many great men and women on active duty for nine year and in the reserves for eleven…retiring at the rank of Commander in 2011. After leaving active duty in 1997, Mark started his second business career as an entrepreneur. He co-founded the successful Coronado Brewing Company and launched NavySEALs.com in the year he left the active duty Navy. NavySEALs.com is the leading web site for gear and information about the SEALs. US Tactical was next, gaining contracts with Naval Special Warfare Group ONE for training support, and the Navy Recruiting Command for a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL, SWCC, EOD and Diver candidates. Mark's business career was interrupted by a stint as an Adjunct Professor of Leadership at the University of San Diego, where he was pursuing his Doctorate in Leadership, then by a one year recall to active duty in 2004. The recall took him to Baghdad with SEAL Team One to conduct a special project for Naval Special Warfare Command surrounding the role of the USMC in Special Operations. In 2007 he launched his CrossFit affiliate and the now internationally known SEALFIT program to provide transformational personal and team training experiences. The training utilizes an integrated warrior development model he developed, called Unbeatable Mind, which draws from his 20 years as a SEAL and business leader, 25 years as a martial artist and 15 years as yoga practitioner.
