Brent TuckerHOST
... or else I'd have to come out here and tell you how wrong I was.
Brent TuckerHOST
What do I mean by that? Slab agreed with Pete Blaber that they shouldn't be there, or they should, or that they shouldn't be inserted any time soon, that everyone else had a chance to acclimate, and he, and he disagrees with them going in.
Brent TuckerHOST
That was a conversation him and Pete had almost immediately of them landing.
Brent TuckerHOST
So good on Slab for recognizing that and not being the guy that was part of the problem, forcing themselves in there.
Drew TuckerHOST
Right.
Brent TuckerHOST
So that's not, that's not Slab's fault.
Brent TuckerHOST
There should've been communication with Pete Blaber, 'cause Pete Blaber would've told him-
Drew TuckerHOST
Don't go
Jeff PratherHOST
Uh, uh, Chappy, uh, John Chapman is a true hero.
Jeff PratherHOST
You know, Pete Blaber of Delta Force, who said, uh, Chapman was an inexperienced RTO, radio, radio, uh, telephone operator, is absurd on its face.
Jeff PratherHOST
The CCTs, the combat controller Air Force guys, are the most elite guys on the team, any team, period.
Jeff PratherHOST
For example, on a Special Forces team, there are HALO teams, there, there are high altitude, low opening teams, there are rucksack teams, there are scuba teams, um, but the scuba guys aren't necessarily HALO qualified, the HALO guys aren't necessarily, um, scuba qualified.
Jeff PratherHOST
Um, [smacks lips] uh, but the, uh, CCT guys and PJs of the-- of Air Force Special Operations are all those qualifications 'cause they have to attach to the Rangers, the Seals, Special Forces, uh, TAG, uh, Combat Applications Group, formerly known as Delta Force, all of those guys.
Jeff PratherHOST
Uh, so they are-- So Pete Blaber, former Delta Force commander, wrote a great book, The Mission to Manmini, really lied about this, th-that's what I'm calling it, and called Chapman an inexperienced RTO.
Jeff PratherHOST
That's absurd.
Jeff PratherHOST
He was the most experienced guy on Takur Ghar.
Todd WoodHOST
So I'll send you the edit, edited after this.
Todd WoodHOST
All right, we're back with, uh, former Special Unit Commander, Pete Blaber.
Todd WoodHOST
Uh, and there's been a lot come out, Pete, over literally every day.
Todd WoodHOST
I mean, the, the, the news flow is incredible.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That wasn't said.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, Pete Blaber addresses it, I believe, on either antihero or Sean Ryan.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He says he was dead in three minutes.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
How do I know? He didn't answer his radio.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was cleared by Chapman and Slavinsky.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Mitch Hall claims it was a kitchen.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think Pete Blaber said it's a kitchen.
JamesonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let's be clear.
Brent TuckerHOST
Yeah.
Brent TuckerHOST
Uh, to quote Pete Blaber on, uh, when we had him on for, for Roberts Ridge, uh, and that's AFO work and recce work, they had one rule about helicopters: don't use them.
Ross SchneidermanGUEST
[laughs] Yeah.
Ross SchneidermanGUEST
Yeah.
Brent TuckerHOST
In fact, maybe by the n- by, within a week or two, I've forgotten most of, of, of what, [laughs] of what happened.
Brent TuckerHOST
And when I went and re-watched our Pete Blaber, uh, episode, when he came on with Anti-Hero and said this, I realized this actually isn't anything new.
Brent TuckerHOST
Although there are some new things, and we're gonna talk about that, but what he's talking about and kinda stirring up right now isn't anything real new.
Brent TuckerHOST
Pete Blaber said most of this, uh, a year ago on, on, uh, on the show Anti-Hero with us.
Brent TuckerHOST
And so hats off to Pete Blaber for essentially knowing, knowing and being right the whole time.
Brent TuckerHOST
Uh, but although was it hard for Pete to, to be right? Pete was the ground force commander, uh, for the AFO element of that.
Brent TuckerHOST
He, he was there.
Ross SchneidermanGUEST
[laughs]
CodyHOST
And what I mean by dots is information.
CodyHOST
And this comes from a Pete Blaber's book, The Mission of Men and Me.
CodyHOST
And one of his tenets is collect the dots before you connect the dots.
CodyHOST
So collect all the information that you need in order to create the correct picture.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I zoned out both times.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm so sorry that I had like the premier Delta Force operator guy, Peter Blaber, on the show sitting next to me talking for what seemed like nine and a half hours about
Tony GumpHOST
this PowerPoint that he wanted to bring.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I said some things like, I don't care.
JosephPANELIST
so it's every day
TylerHOST
yo murphy doing your podcast do you think you're ever going to get blowback from pete blaber
MurphyPANELIST
I'd like to have him come on and address those issues.
TylerHOST
He's Delta Force, bro.
MurphyPANELIST
He'd be taking a pretty big step down to come on my
TylerHOST
show.
TylerHOST
What are you accusing him of maybe not being the most truthful about? I know, A, it's the Roberts Ridge thing that Pete Blaber seems to have kind of does it seem like he have maybe in the last decade changed his narrative a little bit? And then what are some other things that he might not be the Russians? I know, uh, his easement towards the Russians, like, Hey, they're not that bad.
TylerHOST
What are some other things that, you know, cause Pete and I, and I care because Pete Blaber has been on the show and I, I said it before.

Rob ManessHOST
Well, yeah, when I first heard about it, I remembered that we have a Merchant Marine Academy.
Rob ManessHOST
As a matter of fact, I have to give a shout-out to my B-1 air crew members that were Merchant Marine Academy graduates.
