"for what it happened"

Hi!

In his TEDx talk, Jocko Willink repeatedly uses the phrase "for what it happened" – at least that's what I hear him say. One example is to be found around the 9:15 mark in the video: https://youtu.be/ljqra3BcqWM?t=555 and another around 5:50 : https://youtu.be/ljqra3BcqWM?t=350

Doublequote googling "for what it happened" only returned 3 results, so it's neither a common expression nor a common written mistake. What is going on? Am I mishearing or is it a strictly spoken expression, or maybe something from Jocko's idiolect?

for what it happened is incorrect.

I can't access your link, bu I wonder if it was for what'd happened (ie for what had happened.)
