Honestly, whistleblowers can't go anywhere bc they get booted, threatened or punished if they go to any one they are supposed to go to. Human Resource works for an entity and they will not side with you bc they are part of the entity.
I struggle with this as well to be honest. If you have ever held anything above a secret, I think you would understand more. People leaking secrets and calling themselves whistleblowers are clearly traitors. People leaking things that are clearly illegal and have attempted to go through alternative channels, I get. Blasting it online causes damage to people who may not even be party to the activity. There is a definite need for people to come forward when things are wrong. There are options for that that do not include getting the Epstein treatment. Journalism is a completely separate topic. Julian Assange, from my point of view, did nothing wrong. He did what any journalist or news agency in the world would have done. His informants, however, are absolutely guilty. Chelsea Manning grabbed anything (they?) could to have 15 minutes of fame. That is not whistle blowing. That is leaking classified information with no remorse for fallout.

yeah totally. dude just went on a podcast specifically to be interviewed and spent the whole time on their platform answering the questions they asked. what a total tool right? 🤡 you're kidding right? fake or not this man definitely gave legit middle of the road answers. anyone who wants to work in the agency is always going to speak highly of it after but address internal issues with the government because most of the time thats WHY people applied. that's any government position. there is always bureaucracy. everyone acts like it's black and white. good or bad. pro or anti. but that goes against the entire reason why some of our people are awesome. because change happens from within. 😂 I'm in no way saying this guy isn't a shill BUT someone can support their country or beliefs while at the same time criticizing them. otherwise it's 1984 permanently
huh? What is the "mainstream narrative" you're referrencing? Please enlighten us... He literally had a conversation directly based on questions they asked him. You didn't even listen
I would say it was a pretty intellectual conversation, in a sense it sounds like cia trains people like sales people. He still answered all the questions, just steered them to ask him about something else or talk about themselves at some points when he couldn’t answer properly. Not sure if I believe him 100% as he’s still drinking the kool-aid but I definitely liked the interview
“ who is the easiest race to trick?” “ well it’s really hard if you’re talking about an ethnic race because that relies on education but if you’re talking about a specific geographical area Americans” ….. “That’s fire! We’re always number one!” That had me rollin
He means we are naive. We really are overprotected. They don't even let us see dead bodies. I mean they even took down sites like live leak. Americans don't realize just how protected we are. We even poop in cleaner water than the rest of the world gets to drink. We have a quarter hemisphere locked down to ourselves. We are separated from everyone else and each other. I have even heard foreigners refer to us as curious adorable children. Everyone else doesn't get along, has to share borders, and slug it out.
Andrew seems like a CIA recruiter. Giving some great info and insight, and there are tons of people who never thought of joining but might now. Great video!
In addition, I was a DOD subcontractor to a primary DOD contract holder (and it was a non-competitive bid contract). That status remains but is not active. The software is likely still being used in sensitive locations. I love his answers; he is doing what I did, telling people enough to understand the level, but only what he can. He is one of the most impressive guests you have had.
Wym 😭 he had plenty of time to talk they had genuine conversations, Andrew ain’t like most them other trash ass interviewers like the mf from two bears one cave.
As a veteran, and someone who has worked intel, this guy is 100% a well trained PR man. Granted he never got asked the right questions in the right way, as well as never truly elaborating further, and these guys moved on with other questions. I'm sure i'll raise some flags from his group but that's fine. I'm no threat. But great interview overall. Really enjoyed it.
It's true about americans. Easy to fool. They are the most closed society in the world. They think north korea is shut. North korea at least knows where my country is. Signed Perth Australia.
Also, alot of what he talked about or lack of it, he talked about things that were already knowledge, nothing new came out of this interview and in all honesty i saw through bullshit.
When he said aliens don’t exist , I could tell he’s full of chit. The world is to vast , we have to much ego to believe. We are the only ones to exist. Basically a different type of species. I was like he full of chit
1:20:12 - As a medically retired combat veteran, I can absolutely confirm this is true. I never believed I would live long enough to watch our country fall from grace to the extent that it has. Despite the fact that at one time I was proud to have served and even bled for this country, I would never again (If presented with the opportunity) put that uniform on for the sake of the delusional politicians and the administration that currently resides over the US. I had brothers die for a country I no-longer recognize.
How can you bring it back to glory? serious question. i am a 24 year old american who is passionate and hopeful that my America is still capable of returning to that glory, but we need the likes of you to help us carry the torch! what can I do as a young american right now to improve things for the next generation?
@@choombas. Foolish answer. Serious problems in fact reside OUTSIDE of that individual that will not be solved by changing himself. Why spout pointless mumbo jumbo?
@@choombas You seem to think 1. it’s impossible for the world to be all fckd up and 2. If the world is fckd people should shut up, let problems fester and live like hermits and let humanity implode. People like you must hate humanity and are causing its destruction. That’s an insane, evil message of hopelessness. Go back under your rock and stay there-YOU be the hermit.
Akaash: *makes a good point/asks a good question* *tries to ask second question* Andrew: Nahhhh hold on, you cant talk. I got to interrupt our guest every other minute smh
I was so frustrated watching he wouldn’t even let akaash finish his whistling and when he did he wouldn’t let the guest answer.. the bigger and better akaash gets Andrew seems to belittle him
You guys I think when the host is driving the podcast and they come up with an idea their cohosts know that that kind of thing is going to happen. I really think that’s how it works.
Every episode Shultz steps out on Akash’s toes more and more, Akash can’t even make a full statement before Andrew already begins to make his next statement
It’s kinda annoying akaash has some funny one lines here and there but he definitely adds alot when it comes to convo so it always bugs me when he’s interrupted by Andrew besides that’s you day one boi let him cook
That’s akaash’s fault. He’s made himself so much of a yes man that he’s essentially Andrew’s bitch. Literally everyone else on the pod pushes back at Andrew in some capacity except him. It’s like Shultz is the Dom and akaash is his submissive doll
Andrew been talking a lot lately. I thought he got better for a bit during the pandemic but the last 2 years it’s been really bad his ego is getting crazy
@@j0404the probly directs the convo the best out of them but not by much brotha, mark is a phenomenal interviewer and really solid B mic, arguably should be over akash and sometimes drew should shut up
I like this guy. Take what you will from his interviews. Always something to learn. Ppl that are negative are most likely 100% no where near what he's been involved in and wished to be or accomplished in. And it's OK! Me neither! BUT... I learn something every time when I watch his interviews and not take it so personal. let's embrace what we can LEARN or resonate with vs. shutting it all down. Just be open minded and make your own mind up.
He DOES possess a lot of Narcissistic Behaviors...Self-Importance, Self-Centered, Arrogant Thinking (I'm always right, I know Everything) A need for Admiration & Praise, Constant need for ATTENTION...Usurps the people's attention for his amusement...etc. etc.
Self-Centered, Arrogant, Self-Important, Attention Seeker, "Hogs the Air in the Room for his/her Amusement." Feeling of Entitlement, Immune to Simple Rules or Societal Norms aka "Allowing others to speak or Interact fluidly, without his/her input or narrative. etc. etc. etc.
This fella was on the Lex Fridman podcast more than a year ago and he made several bold geo-political predictions based on his expertise. He said these predictions would come true before the end of that year, yet not one of them has.
I doubt cia(former) agents can talk about this stuff. Additionally I highly doubt they would ever involve their own family. From my understanding their family isn’t even suppose to know their missions / intel.
I hate he didn’t get any pushback on the whistleblower stuff. My rights, as an American, supersede any beaurocratic bullshit. If what the whistleblower exposes turns out to be true and the government is engaging in illegal activities, then we should punish those responsible not the whistleblower
That stance makes sense if you are a private citizen and find something out about the government. But as an agent, you make certain oaths and enter an agreement.it is no different than if you join the military.
The thing that didn't make sense to me.. if Snowden had tried to do it within the legal channels, he would put a huge target on his back and the intelligence agencies would have no problem with taking him out. Bustamante acts as if this wouldn't be the case.
The oath I took was to defend and uphold the constitution of the united states of america against all enemies foreign and domestic. It was not to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"...
Lets be honest, the show needs a reduced cast. Alex should get a few producer questions behind the scene. Akash/Mark should be alternating cohosts. It would make Andrews steamrolling less pronounced.
Andrew has reached bert level of obnoxiousness. If Andrew allowed akaash to speak it’ll be better. Akaash has good interviewing skills and questions and flows good with the interviewer. But Andrew can’t allow anyone else have center stage
I think akash needs his own show. Softer tone, maybe a little educational spin, or a variation of shows centering around different cast. Almost rotating door esk
Would I be giving him too much credit if I think he’s giving some lies and some truths to weave a puzzle of information of truth and what CIA wants us to believe (which by itself could be objective truth or lies to protect the security of America)
I wanna ask this guy what it’s like when every conversation you have with another person can only be experienced through a paradigm of manipulation and jockeying power. I’m sure he (of course) wouldn’t answer honestly. But I imagine it’s hellish.
@@bk2524it certainly does run that deep. guarantee that his official job is to pretend to not be apart of CIA (“anymore”) and throw out truths & lies to misdirect.
He’s trying to get us to believe the CIA is less powerful than it is and not as involved in illegal activities as they are. He’s also clearly trying to recruit young people in the agency
Listening to this on the bus and at around 1 hr 50 min (the story about how to get intelligence), Andrew needs to let the guest talk. The amount of interruptions and I’m like “Andrew please shut up, I’m tryna hear this guest tell the story”. Great pod as always tho
Watching this was amazing, with the advantage of being seven months into the future. My CIA dude (who I respect from his other efforts I know about) was spot on. This was outstanding to see. Schulzy, keep doing this channel; you are amazing. Fast-forward to the Trump interview. You and Joe are brilliant. Next trip to the EU, CZ would love you.
People make fun of Andrew for his "revelations" when he's really just doing exactly what this guy said, making the guest feel important/smart. If you're blown away and showing interest in learning from someone, they'll tell you everything to express their knowledge and fulfill their ego.
It's somewhat true - the problem people have with Schulz is that he has his little 'epiphanies' mainly because he wants to sound smart by reiterating exactly what was just said 🤷♂️ I don't mind someone appreciating learning something, but when it's all for show people have an issue because it's subversive and selfish
@@rickeykoga2312 it's also a natural technique some people use to remember information or better understand the information after hearing themselves. Knowingly or unknowingly. I don't think he deserves as much criticism as he gets. If he was in any of our friend groups he would be liked for that energy.
@@rickfoster1688I agree that it's a natural thing people do in conversation, but I do not think it's good for podcasting at all When you watch a really good podcast, the flow of the conversation isn't like listening to two people talk normally. In a normal conversation, it's totally normal to do this because it shows you are actively listening. When it's done on a podcast, it's abrasive to the flow of the pod - it's hard to explain but it's something that you can simply 'feel' when it happens. No one said it better than Shane Gillis who coined the 'Schulz Epiphanies'
I seriously doubt that guy or any CIA agent being recorded can be buttered up into revealing what they shouldn’t, at least not someone with access to real info. He is probably revealing what he was told too or he just blowing smoke screens.
Too bad he lacks an enormous amount of historical context. He's clearly there to make points in service of the "homeland", not to convey accurate information.
It is really strange how this podcast has evolved. From comedians to political commentators with only news headline information and crazy assumptions. This podcast used to be a small escape from reality to enjoy life and now it’s full of “geniuses” with all the “trust me bro” answers.
Yea its politics even when they have comedians on and its so annoying. I use to laugh but now its just andrew going "mmmmmmm' while looking up like he discovered something new
They can’t win lmao when it’s just the boys everyone says how annoying all the laughing is and how obnoxious they are, and when they have serious people on and aren’t all obnoxious they still get hate 😂
Andrew seems like he was most likely ignored by his parents as a child, it's why he reaches to be seen and heard so much. He's really just chasing a pat on the back and a compliment, for anything. The lack of self-awareness is wild.
It's fucking annoying when he keeps cutting people off man. If he can't keep his thoughts in order while other people speak, he's in the wrong line of work.
Which is the point cuz it's all BS lol. The thing about whistleblowers at 1:03:00 smh. Absolute lies. It's not his fault either, he is a nobody grifter they put out to pasture. If he wasn't he wouldn't be doing podcast circuits or writing a BS book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He's saying all the same BS we've heard a million times before from nobody agents. All those "avenues" and official channels he speaks of that whistleblowers are supposed to follow are constructed in such a way so when they stonewall you they can make the decision to merc you if you seem the type to keep pushing. Like he said R.I.C.E., Ego is not a factor, Reward didn't work, Coercion doesn't work, "okay" they say, "so the guy is pursuing this whistleblower thing because of Ideology..."" Then they end up like the Boeing whistleblowers. That's where that idiotic line of thinking gets you. "Trust the system"...no, i did that for years and i now know and can clearly see the system is broken, corrupted beyond most ppls comprehension and most definitely not to be trusted due to the large amount of money and power involved... Snowden and Assange most definitely did not "do more damage than good". They wisened ppl up to the point they could see the damage that was being done and start to work to curtail it. Had they not the U.S. would be in the state the U.K and Brazil are in right now. The reality is that marxist ideologists have infiltrated leftwing extremist governments and corrupted the CIA to weaponize them against their own ppl just like the FBI and ATF. CIA should be smoking WEF, Bilderburg, Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations members left, right and center but instead they work with and enable them attempting to control them for corrupt reasons and general institutional self interest. Those ppl pay the bills, they fund the CIA's activities. There is an egregious conflict of interest that is a detriment to the very ppl and their rights and freedoms, not to mention their very national sovereignty just in general, that the CIA is supposed to be fighting to protect. If they actually cared about their country and its people they would be destroying these powerful authoritarian collectivist supranational entities by any means necessary and putting the fear into all those evil f*cks. They need to know they can get got and wealth and power will not buy their safety. If they FA they must FO. They are very much doing the former without ever experiencing the latter. Alas, the truth is the CIA are as big a part of the problem as the KGB, CCP, CSIS or SIS now. Something has to break, one of these intelligence agencies has to start dropping these human scum. instead they are too busy trying to help them by trying to propagandizing against and take out Trump cuz they're afraid he and the ppl he puts into positions of power will do the right thing and tell them "Naw, f*ck that. You see everything you're doing right now? Do the fair opposite and make America great again. That or GTFO just like all the commies and illegal immigrants nobody asked for or wants to support with their hard earned money." The real enemy: ruclips.net/video/reXi0C1JoHo/видео.html
What do you mean by a plant? Do you mean not real? My old roommate worked for CIA. A plant in the music industry means they had connections to get in. He was in the military before he went into CIA. Can you please explain your thoughts?
@@durpledorekapre3991 disregard most of these fools that watch this podcast.They have very simplistic minds.They act like sophomoric jokesters yelling buzzwords like psyop or controlled opposition when they dont understand the game.
Amazing. He makes the Reality of Spy Craft immediately accessible, relevant, and explained with a clarity that recognizes both the extreme value and danger. He embodies a prudent nationalism that we ALL need to live from in humble self interest and unity as a cure to the current insane division growing like a cancer in main stream politics; tho he addressed this too through comparing our national development to middle school. Great job Mr. Bustamante!
I've seen several of Andrew's interviews. It's hard to distinguish if he is who he says he is "former" CIA. There are a lot of recruiting talking points in my opinion. Either way, I enjoyed his conversation, and he was a great talking piece in this role. "The best place to hide is in plain sight." "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth" - Marcus Aurelius
51:10 HE FINALLY INADVERTENTLY GAVE UP THAT HE’S STILL A CIA AGENT! When referring to never using a substance but wanting to one day he mistakenly specified he, “dreams of the day that he finally _gets_ to.”
You do not want America's safety in the hands of companies with profit incentive. Companies do not have to abide by the constitution. That's insanity to me.
You know they only get away with what we allow. Y'all so fucking easy to pleb out. Simp simp simp simp. Fucking...6th grade tactics. I swear... A 6 year old could manipulate y'all.
Yes but an agency with no other incentive than to be right and make themselves seem irreplaceable is better? At least hiring privately gives the opportunity for competition and the ability to replace a company if found corrupt
Just before I got out of Marines Corps, March of 2000, I had a full bird colonel pull a few of us aside that had to re-up in coming 6 months and tell us flat serious “Make no mistake, if you re-up be ready to be boots on the ground by Jan 2001. Can’t tell you how or where, but it’s 100%. So make sure you Re up for the right reasons. Next 4 years will be hard ones.” No BS and 100% true. He knew it was coming. He was dead serious. I asked him - why tell us this. He said “because I want to make sure the guys next to me are the right ones. Period. Do with that information what you must.” They knew. I knew. Not the details - but it made perfect sense. Bush had just started his term. It had to happen fast, so he could control it long enough to help Halliburton.
Now if one compares Andrew's story(CIA life) with this guy's story "Navy SEAL Joins French Foreign Legion After Jail & Being Homeless" there is a clear cut reality . No one gaves a f about your substance abuse in cia and what u do in your free time uas long as your tests are negative or effects your performance.
Akaash: sorry I need to ask this question Andrew: nope I’m gonna ask this first The ENTIRE INTERVIEW I definitely think this guy is lying about some stuff lol😂 but great interview. I’ve seen him on a few podcasts and it’s super interesting.
Andrew is a rock solid individual. I used to watch his channel frequently, but there's so much competition in the marketplace it's hard to schedule time for every other channel in that space .
I think asking him his opion on whistle blowing was fantastic. What a great way to get to the root of where his allegiances are and where his lines are held. A corrupt government will never give you permission to expose them, but trust the system he says.
His position on Snowden and whistleblowing blew my mind. Dood is a company man through and through. And by definition hates the people. Which is probably why he's perfect for the government
This is the most fascinating insight into the intelligence community I have ever watched. Flagrant is out here fucking KILLING THE PODCAST GAME!!! I've watched a couple of other podcasts that this guy has been on and I don't think I got through the first 20 minutes before I was bored to death. I've already been yelled at by the boss for pulling my phone out on the floor to jump back to something I missed. Lol!
@@amirhabibi9121 Everything he talked about is not classified information. His comments on China and Taiwan are off. China would be in the same position as Russia with Ukraine. Chinese problems corruption, not enough woman because of one child policy. Woman in China do not want to get married and have children. The Chinese are laying down. Aka slackers. Loosing to India on hand to hand combat on border skirmishes. China's belt road initiatives have been falling apart. India is not a alie of China. India has been building alies to counter China's belt road initiatives India is on track to become become a supper power they use American company Bloom energy to build a clean energy grid. Hydrogen is the next oil boom. All this and I don't work for THE company.
Found it all interesting. When people speak info back in a slightly different way, it shows they have internalized and learned it- and the other(s) often took it a step further or two when they spoke or questioned. Nice interplay. (Ensured I learned it the info!) Well done. Thank you all. (Immediately subscribed here and at EveryDaySpy.)
Am I the only one who imagined that he pulled his own tooth so he could have a gps tracker tooth installed before missions, right where that missing tooth is?😂
Feedback: This was the best podcast on this channel so far. Area of opportunity; Host keeps cutting the guest short. Pls let them finish. You don't need to complete their last two words in every sentence to somehow display your understanding.
Eloquence and the ability to clearly explain an idea is a telltale sign for me... Yup... And yet this eloquence is such a standard to strive for, then his interpersonal interaction to set 4 guys at ease to talk AND make them feel important! STELLAR!
There was no other option for Snowden to take. Who do you even go to? He literally says that the CIA doesnt have your best interest in mind then a minute later says Snowden should have just trusted the powers at be to do something.
What a tough role to play. The “how do you do fellow kids?” role with the fellow kids knowing you’re full of it is like playing a video game on expert.
The year is 2065, Akash is still trying to ask the CIA guy a question and Andrew is still telling him to finish his thought
The agency guy, not the CIA guy.
His ego is really on high this ep. Seriously annoying

I struggle with this as well to be honest. If you have ever held anything above a secret, I think you would understand more. People leaking secrets and calling themselves whistleblowers are clearly traitors. People leaking things that are clearly illegal and have attempted to go through alternative channels, I get. Blasting it online causes damage to people who may not even be party to the activity. There is a definite need for people to come forward when things are wrong. There are options for that that do not include getting the Epstein treatment.
Journalism is a completely separate topic. Julian Assange, from my point of view, did nothing wrong. He did what any journalist or news agency in the world would have done. His informants, however, are absolutely guilty. Chelsea Manning grabbed anything (they?) could to have 15 minutes of fame. That is not whistle blowing. That is leaking classified information with no remorse for fallout.

He’s not a guy, he’s an agent sent out to do PR for the CIA.
False is the idea he is no longer an asset or that his former employer is a former employer at all.
@@rogueandvagabondrabbit5837
Even if he isn’t an asset, he is an asset!
he is literally promoting his company......... and for that matter his upcoming book.
Sis, you did the most comprehensive report on this story. You nailed it!!!
what’s the point of having 3 co-hosts if you shut down any of their input because you can’t wait another two minutes to say something
ffs! He ruins the whole thing!
Well said.
Yeah I totally agree. With you they used to flow a lot better but now they just keep talking over each other.
Thank you!!!!!
*Somebody else starts to talk*
Andrew:"Just real quick I gotta say this..." then goes on a rant
Having 4 hosts is too many I think that everytime I listen to this pod
The Cia tactics he explained in the beginning were the same methods he used the whole podcast 🤤
This is facts haha
Yup
Lol I saw that too
Its a group from the Agency recording their lunch break...
He literally had Andrew "buy him a coffee" by turning the last 20% of the pod into an advertisement for his company
Holy fuck can andrew let the others speak. Akaash couldnt even get a question out without andrew interrupting
I thought they would at least let C.I.A talk
I think that was the reason the CIA guy said he would make a good Eastern European asset. Lol
Too many Addie’s and baddies Bapa
Who cares, Akaash is annoying as fuck
The smartest guy in the room usually takes the floor. We all know who's podcast this is, for better or worse...
In addition, I was a DOD subcontractor to a primary DOD contract holder (and it was a non-competitive bid contract). That status remains but is not active. The software is likely still being used in sensitive locations. I love his answers; he is doing what I did, telling people enough to understand the level, but only what he can. He is one of the most impressive guests you have had.
Hes not impressive, at all.
akash, your patience was legit. andrew was not tryna let you talk😭😭😭
Wym 😭 he had plenty of time to talk they had genuine conversations, Andrew ain’t like most them other trash ass interviewers like the mf from two bears one cave.
As a veteran, and someone who has worked intel, this guy is 100% a well trained PR man. Granted he never got asked the right questions in the right way, as well as never truly elaborating further, and these guys moved on with other questions. I'm sure i'll raise some flags from his group but that's fine. I'm no threat. But great interview overall. Really enjoyed it.
It's true about americans. Easy to fool. They are the most closed society in the world. They think north korea is shut. North korea at least knows where my country is. Signed Perth Australia.
Can you hear The jackboots thumping on your porch?😮😂
Also, alot of what he talked about or lack of it, he talked about things that were already knowledge, nothing new came out of this interview and in all honesty i saw through bullshit.
When he said aliens don’t exist , I could tell he’s full of chit. The world is to vast , we have to much ego to believe. We are the only ones to exist. Basically a different type of species. I was like he full of chit
Raise some flags from his group? 🫠 I thought I was paranoid😂

but andrew lol xD
indeed interesting

Its a manipulation to put Andrew in his place. He's CIA ffs, he doesn't care about "hearing" people or their feelings.
Yea cuz he’s hustling
NGL I learn a lot from podcasts with this guest. Well done Andrew and team for extracting liquid gold from him!
Akaash wanted to speak for about 15 minutes and kept getting cut off 😂
Andrew has this guy on but answers his own questions ?
Fr like what
Ain’t no fuckin CIA doing comedy podcasts 😂😂😂😂😂 y’all believe anything
Yea i was like let him speak akkash always bring good point😅
Akaash sucks
This guy just kept Akaash from asking a question just to ask, "what is the cold war?"
I was annoyed prior to that but when he interrupted for that question I was like ain’t no way 🤯😭
😂😂
Bruh every time
You guys I think when the host is driving the podcast and they come up with an idea their cohosts know that that kind of thing is going to happen. I really think that’s how it works.
In 20 years time, all of the government agencies are going to be shit because we’re not getting any of the best young talent -Alex 18:44
Every episode Shultz steps out on Akash’s toes more and more, Akash can’t even make a full statement before Andrew already begins to make his next statement
It’s kinda annoying akaash has some funny one lines here and there but he definitely adds alot when it comes to convo so it always bugs me when he’s interrupted by Andrew besides that’s you day one boi let him cook
That’s akaash’s fault. He’s made himself so much of a yes man that he’s essentially Andrew’s bitch. Literally everyone else on the pod pushes back at Andrew in some capacity except him. It’s like Shultz is the Dom and akaash is his submissive doll
Andrew been talking a lot lately. I thought he got better for a bit during the pandemic but the last 2 years it’s been really bad his ego is getting crazy

Legend says Akash is still asking permission to ask a question as a co-host.
andrew if you want to press your own questions over your co hosts, just do the interviews alone
He should. Andrew is way more interesting than any of the co hosts. People acting like they should be equals. Since when?
That’s great advice, other podcasters do that like PBD.
@@j0404the probly directs the convo the best out of them but not by much brotha, mark is a phenomenal interviewer and really solid B mic, arguably should be over akash and sometimes drew should shut up
I like this guy. Take what you will from his interviews. Always something to learn. Ppl that are negative are most likely 100% no where near what he's been involved in and wished to be or accomplished in. And it's OK! Me neither! BUT... I learn something every time when I watch his interviews and not take it so personal. let's embrace what we can LEARN or resonate with vs. shutting it all down. Just be open minded and make your own mind up.
Andrew got that 'Main Character Syndrom'
Lol 😂 is that an actual thing?
Agreed. He gives Bill Shatner now

I doubt cia(former) agents can talk about this stuff. Additionally I highly doubt they would ever involve their own family. From my understanding their family isn’t even suppose to know their missions / intel.
I hate he didn’t get any pushback on the whistleblower stuff. My rights, as an American, supersede any beaurocratic bullshit. If what the whistleblower exposes turns out to be true and the government is engaging in illegal activities, then we should punish those responsible not the whistleblower
LMAO "my rights" okay buddy
That stance makes sense if you are a private citizen and find something out about the government. But as an agent, you make certain oaths and enter an agreement.it is no different than if you join the military.
@@Tunechi65Well said 😀
The thing that didn't make sense to me.. if Snowden had tried to do it within the legal channels, he would put a huge target on his back and the intelligence agencies would have no problem with taking him out. Bustamante acts as if this wouldn't be the case.
The oath I took was to defend and uphold the constitution of the united states of america against all enemies foreign and domestic. It was not to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"...
Lets be honest, the show needs a reduced cast. Alex should get a few producer questions behind the scene. Akash/Mark should be alternating cohosts. It would make Andrews steamrolling less pronounced.
Andrew has reached bert level of obnoxiousness. If Andrew allowed akaash to speak it’ll be better. Akaash has good interviewing skills and questions and flows good with the interviewer. But Andrew can’t allow anyone else have center stage
@@JoseMoreno-xe7gu perhaps he doesn't want aakash to outshine him?

@@billyherrera9187 You think all spies look like James Bond lol?
You can learn a lot by listening to him carefully and trying to figure out what he's trying to get you to think.
You really think it runs this deep? I trust what people say too much
Would I be giving him too much credit if I think he’s giving some lies and some truths to weave a puzzle of information of truth and what CIA wants us to believe (which by itself could be objective truth or lies to protect the security of America)
I wanna ask this guy what it’s like when every conversation you have with another person can only be experienced through a paradigm of manipulation and jockeying power. I’m sure he (of course) wouldn’t answer honestly. But I imagine it’s hellish.
@@bk2524it certainly does run that deep. guarantee that his official job is to pretend to not be apart of CIA (“anymore”) and throw out truths & lies to misdirect.
He’s trying to get us to believe the CIA is less powerful than it is and not as involved in illegal activities as they are. He’s also clearly trying to recruit young people in the agency
Listening to this on the bus and at around 1 hr 50 min (the story about how to get intelligence), Andrew needs to let the guest talk. The amount of interruptions and I’m like “Andrew please shut up, I’m tryna hear this guest tell the story”.
Great pod as always tho
I am literally at the same mark and I had to pause the episode to see if anyone else is thinking this😂
Andrew on that cocayina lately
Dude, Andrew was the guest. Jeez.
Watching this was amazing, with the advantage of being seven months into the future. My CIA dude (who I respect from his other efforts I know about) was spot on. This was outstanding to see. Schulzy, keep doing this channel; you are amazing. Fast-forward to the Trump interview. You and Joe are brilliant. Next trip to the EU, CZ would love you.
Andrew gotta let the boys ask more questions, he dominated this conversation.
CIA allowing you to know anything they don't want you to know, this is all scripted propaganda anyway
It’s like he has an obvious boner for CIA and didn’t care to hide it
People make fun of Andrew for his "revelations" when he's really just doing exactly what this guy said, making the guest feel important/smart. If you're blown away and showing interest in learning from someone, they'll tell you everything to express their knowledge and fulfill their ego.
It's somewhat true - the problem people have with Schulz is that he has his little 'epiphanies' mainly because he wants to sound smart by reiterating exactly what was just said 🤷♂️
I don't mind someone appreciating learning something, but when it's all for show people have an issue because it's subversive and selfish
@@rickeykoga2312 it's also a natural technique some people use to remember information or better understand the information after hearing themselves. Knowingly or unknowingly.
I don't think he deserves as much criticism as he gets. If he was in any of our friend groups he would be liked for that energy.
@@rickfoster1688I agree that it's a natural thing people do in conversation, but I do not think it's good for podcasting at all
When you watch a really good podcast, the flow of the conversation isn't like listening to two people talk normally. In a normal conversation, it's totally normal to do this because it shows you are actively listening. When it's done on a podcast, it's abrasive to the flow of the pod - it's hard to explain but it's something that you can simply 'feel' when it happens. No one said it better than Shane Gillis who coined the 'Schulz Epiphanies'
I seriously doubt that guy or any CIA agent being recorded can be buttered up into revealing what they shouldn’t, at least not someone with access to real info. He is probably revealing what he was told too or he just blowing smoke screens.
@@rickeykoga2312he said before he does it to summarize the idea for the average viewer. He's faking it
For real, he just broke down the entire post war period will now. Impressive. Really enjoyed this one. What an articulate guy..
Too bad he lacks an enormous amount of historical context. He's clearly there to make points in service of the "homeland", not to convey accurate information.

Miss when it was just the boys.
Yea its politics even when they have comedians on and its so annoying. I use to laugh but now its just andrew going "mmmmmmm' while looking up like he discovered something new
Blame what gets views - they’re just running a business at this point. The odd solo episodes are the all that’s left of the old.
Hit the nail on the head. I can't tell if thesw guys do it in purpose for the money/views or they are really just that ignorant.
They can’t win lmao when it’s just the boys everyone says how annoying all the laughing is and how obnoxious they are, and when they have serious people on and aren’t all obnoxious they still get hate 😂
This is one of the best conversations I’ve watched as of lately for sure. Thank you guys!❤

*Question
@@dota2freaks oooh you sooo smart with the spelling nazism
Andrew seems like he was most likely ignored by his parents as a child, it's why he reaches to be seen and heard so much. He's really just chasing a pat on the back and a compliment, for anything. The lack of self-awareness is wild.
He’s aware of that, he himself said that he gives you a laugh and you give him attention
Or he's a walking CIA ads
This. He wants so badly for Andy to think he’s smart.
He said something similar in other interviews.
It's fucking annoying when he keeps cutting people off man. If he can't keep his thoughts in order while other people speak, he's in the wrong line of work.

yeah he recruting ...usa usa usa .......i m forigner i want work with this dudes ......i think i go work in colombia
You mean, CIA.
Which is the point cuz it's all BS lol. The thing about whistleblowers at 1:03:00 smh. Absolute lies. It's not his fault either, he is a nobody grifter they put out to pasture. If he wasn't he wouldn't be doing podcast circuits or writing a BS book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He's saying all the same BS we've heard a million times before from nobody agents.
All those "avenues" and official channels he speaks of that whistleblowers are supposed to follow are constructed in such a way so when they stonewall you they can make the decision to merc you if you seem the type to keep pushing.
Like he said R.I.C.E., Ego is not a factor, Reward didn't work, Coercion doesn't work, "okay" they say, "so the guy is pursuing this whistleblower thing because of Ideology..."" Then they end up like the Boeing whistleblowers. That's where that idiotic line of thinking gets you. "Trust the system"...no, i did that for years and i now know and can clearly see the system is broken, corrupted beyond most ppls comprehension and most definitely not to be trusted due to the large amount of money and power involved...
Snowden and Assange most definitely did not "do more damage than good". They wisened ppl up to the point they could see the damage that was being done and start to work to curtail it. Had they not the U.S. would be in the state the U.K and Brazil are in right now.
The reality is that marxist ideologists have infiltrated leftwing extremist governments and corrupted the CIA to weaponize them against their own ppl just like the FBI and ATF.
CIA should be smoking WEF, Bilderburg, Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations members left, right and center but instead they work with and enable them attempting to control them for corrupt reasons and general institutional self interest. Those ppl pay the bills, they fund the CIA's activities.
There is an egregious conflict of interest that is a detriment to the very ppl and their rights and freedoms, not to mention their very national sovereignty just in general, that the CIA is supposed to be fighting to protect. If they actually cared about their country and its people they would be destroying these powerful authoritarian collectivist supranational entities by any means necessary and putting the fear into all those evil f*cks. They need to know they can get got and wealth and power will not buy their safety. If they FA they must FO. They are very much doing the former without ever experiencing the latter.
Alas, the truth is the CIA are as big a part of the problem as the KGB, CCP, CSIS or SIS now.
Something has to break, one of these intelligence agencies has to start dropping these human scum. instead they are too busy trying to help them by trying to propagandizing against and take out Trump cuz they're afraid he and the ppl he puts into positions of power will do the right thing and tell them "Naw, f*ck that. You see everything you're doing right now? Do the fair opposite and make America great again. That or GTFO just like all the commies and illegal immigrants nobody asked for or wants to support with their hard earned money."

I've seen several of Andrew's interviews. It's hard to distinguish if he is who he says he is "former" CIA. There are a lot of recruiting talking points in my opinion.

Yeah, you at least want it to be a thing if they do, whereas for companies 🤷♀️
Lol America is a profit driven corporation
Yes but an agency with no other incentive than to be right and make themselves seem irreplaceable is better? At least hiring privately gives the opportunity for competition and the ability to replace a company if found corrupt
If you don't think the CIA cooperates on a profit incentive you are high
Just before I got out of Marines Corps, March of 2000, I had a full bird colonel pull a few of us aside that had to re-up in coming 6 months and tell us flat serious “Make no mistake, if you re-up be ready to be boots on the ground by Jan 2001. Can’t tell you how or where, but it’s 100%. So make sure you Re up for the right reasons. Next 4 years will be hard ones.” No BS and 100% true. He knew it was coming. He was dead serious. I asked him - why tell us this. He said “because I want to make sure the guys next to me are the right ones. Period. Do with that information what you must.” They knew. I knew. Not the details - but it made perfect sense. Bush had just started his term. It had to happen fast, so he could control it long enough to help Halliburton.
Can’t imagine how you felt hearing that. Could never grasp the mindset it takes to want to put yourselves in the front lines.
Much respect for you and the Colonel.

I think asking him his opion on whistle blowing was fantastic. What a great way to get to the root of where his allegiances are and where his lines are held. A corrupt government will never give you permission to expose them, but trust the system he says.
I was like hell you say.
His position on Snowden and whistleblowing blew my mind. Dood is a company man through and through. And by definition hates the people. Which is probably why he's perfect for the government

India is on track to become become a supper power they use American company Bloom energy to build a clean energy grid. Hydrogen is the next oil boom. All this and I don't work for THE company.
@@soverycomplicated lol coming from a dope
Fantastic spokesman for CIA. Very likable and listening to his speaking doesn’t grow dull.
Kinda hard to listen to him when he’s surrounded by a bunch of dopes who love to constantly interrupt.
Found it all interesting. When people speak info back in a slightly different way, it shows they have internalized and learned it- and the other(s) often took it a step further or two when they spoke or questioned. Nice interplay. (Ensured I learned it the info!) Well done. Thank you all. (Immediately subscribed here and at EveryDaySpy.)
Am I the only one who imagined that he pulled his own tooth so he could have a gps tracker tooth installed before missions, right where that missing tooth is?😂
Be losing them sometimes 😂
Ex-cia can't infiltrate a filling between his own teeth 😂😂
I bet you're right. He's been making $millions with his new business so not having $$$ to have dental work done isn't an issue at all.
On another podcast he talked bout costumes and a missing tooth was one of them. He did not have a missing tooth. This was a costume.
this is probably the most fascinating thing I've ever listened to
Akash, much respect, Andrew was not giving you space
22:23 Akaash attempts to ask a question but is immediately interrupted by Andrew
nobody cares....
23:33 Andrew apologizes to Akaash and let's him have the floor.
Presented to you by, I don't have a life either.
Happens all the time
That’s his puppy
@@nimmha6708 that wasn’t his question 😂 stop talking down to people, it makes you feel worse.
Feedback: This was the best podcast on this channel so far.
Area of opportunity; Host keeps cutting the guest short. Pls let them finish. You don't need to complete their last two words in every sentence to somehow display your understanding.
This video keeps coming up in my recommendations since it released. How do i block it?
Eloquence and the ability to clearly explain an idea is a telltale sign for me... Yup... And yet this eloquence is such a standard to strive for, then his interpersonal interaction to set 4 guys at ease to talk AND make them feel important! STELLAR!
🤔
Sarcasm? cause this was hot garbage
He said you can’t call it ‘the CIA’ but he ends up calling it the CIA a couple of times
i think he meant as a name. not just saying it in use with context
There was no other option for Snowden to take. Who do you even go to? He literally says that the CIA doesnt have your best interest in mind then a minute later says Snowden should have just trusted the powers at be to do something.
he's just covering his own ass. He isn't going to endorse snowden before he talks to them and tries to get his book published.
Andrew makes me proud of the country. It's nice to see his integrity and patriotism
I appreciate all the honest questions that they asked that I haven’t heard on a bunch of other podcasts that Andy’s been on
What a tough role to play. The “how do you do fellow kids?” role with the fellow kids knowing you’re full of it is like playing a video game on expert.
more like easy mode when you're shameless
This guy sticks to it and never lets it go at the same time takes control of everything.
This video has been so informative thank you guys. Half way through.
