I love Tanto. He’s one of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard. I also appreciate that he’s not afraid to tell some stories.
I've heard stories however, the ones in the lime light tell the stories of the heros in the shadows...just saying
@@stammercane2427 dude shut up. For fuck sake.
@@stammercane2427 these are the guys who's stories inspire the kids to become Special Operations.
Hi. It’s Ralph, thanks to Battleline..
Kris is spot-on. I’ve learned a ton from Kris, I’ve become a better shooter, ( and a better person ) especially learning that I could shoot with missing half my hand..
Thanks again Kris.
I like how Tanto brought up the intelligent conversations had in the service. I had in depth conversations about philosophy in the classroom in college. But years before that I had incredibly more in-depth ones inside of gun mounts, and chowing down on MREs sitting on a RHIB. Good interview
Oh yeah. I remember conversations like that. Standing in a slit trench, soaked, cold, and wind swept. It's a great foundations builder.
How the hell do these guys only have 42k subs?! They’ve interviewed so many legends!
It takes commitment to sit through their podcasts. Honestly, it's better than all the action movies because it's literally all the dudes that they're based on. Part of me wishes these guys were running for office. But after their long careers, I understand that they're probably over it when it comes to government bullshit. Whether you lean left or right, so many of these guys cut right through the center to the heart of the matter and would be waaaay better than most politicians as the man on the button.
I think people get this mixed up with Brandon Webb
@@bestjobieverhad9584 I agree. Not a fan of SOFREP and I think Webb is a clown but the Team House has some great interviews.
Low impact and low production. It's good content, but only if you edit it down and then you'd have to be okay with it being raw zoom meetings.
His feedback about being a political football between Fox and CNN was fantastic. His statements from 2:35:00 were excellent on TV news org's just watching people fight for ratings.
its so disgusting to me how media companies use tragedy to for profit
Great interview. Chris is a different man than I had thought. Motivating and happy to see he’s doing well.
God is so amazing! After I started watching this interview with Tanto, someone left this comment on my channel saying "Psalms 37🕊".
It says the meek shall inherit the earth, just like tanto was mentioning.
If you read that Psalm, you'll understand the significance. God is here for us, if we would just humble ourselves and seek Him. Amen!
LeCamera was my Battalion Commander and Grippe my CSM in 1/87 at the 10th Mountain
2001?
@@Mr12ob yep we deployed to K2 in late September and then Bagram in November of 01. Both were stand up guys. Grippe was a beast.
Your interview with Kris was amazing. He has adapted well after Benghazi. I want to thank all of You for Your Service and bringing the Warriors stories to be told. You All are my Hero’s. Keep them coming. Thanks
Takes a strong man of character to recognize he has drifted off the path, and resume the correct path. Well done Kris..
3rd Plt, A Co 2nd Ranger Bn, 1983, .... then someone thought I should learn IMC, and my time as a Ranger was done
Great interview
RLTW, DOL
IMC?

Bloody great interview guys,very real and fascinating too!
Keep up the good work 👍🇬🇧
I’m really glad I watched this. It’s good to see Paranto and hear his story.
Great interview with a Kris, I read the book 13 hours and saw the movie, real good account of the life of the 2012 9/11 attack in Libya, My salute to him
Mr. Paronto ~ You. Have. Nothing. To. Be. Ashamed. About.... especially in regards to your attitude towards service & sacrifice for America. Thank you ! ~ RD (a new sub)
PS: give my best to Wichita
Great interview!
Really been enjoying the interviews here on this channel
“I’m not even gonna tell you what gender they are because it doesn’t matter but I brought it up anyways so you guys can figure it out” Lmao 😂 😂
Thanks gentlemen.
Great interview, kudos to telling his journey, ups and downs
Grippe was my platoon sergeant when I got there in 1992. I'm sure he wouldn't remember me but he might recall the flying squirrel that landed on his head in South Rainier.
Speaking of “could the US actually send any units in time to Benghazi to help”… Mike Glover has talked about this on a few different podcasts. The reason he left the Army at the end of his career is because the CIF unit he was in charge of standing up in North Africa, refused to deploy that day. He was pissed about it. Rightfully so.
Wait those fucks refused to go out against an order?!
@@gurugo666 no they refused to deploy them not just during Benghazi but also earlier during a situation in Algeria were an oil refinery was taken over by terrorists and several Americans ended up being killed when the Algerians tried to retake it. After Benghazi he told some Col. at africom to go fuck himself and left the army shortly after iirc from one of his interviews
I'd like to listen to this, what podcast was he on?
@@ToddDavey he’s been on a couple. It was either on Mike Ritland’s or Shawn Ryan’s shows that he talks about Benghazi
@@ToddDavey Mike Drop, Cleared Hot, and Shawn Ryan’s show
Thank you Drill Sergeant, picket fence, 1's across the board😊 Draw the lessons of the moment using the mind prepared to adapt, Improvise and overcome. If I had ever made it to Group I would have been QueLio🫡
Well worth the wait with no subject off limits and no stone left unturned.
Fantastic interview I thoroughly enjoyed and every living human being needs to work on is “Moral Courage” physical courage comes with all sorts of accolades,noteriety and rewards however moral courage brings inner peace and better way of life.I commend Kris on finding the way and now experiencing the gifts of true moral compass.Thank you for your service and sharing.More men need to share their stories and facts cuz we ain’t getting truth from the MSM.
Yip, you can go anywhere with Tanto!
When I was at Fort Lewis,Washington in 74-77,their battalion was across the road from us. One time we were yelling out the window at them and damn we never did that again, those dudes came in our barracks and clean house. When we got newbies that didn’t know where the chow hall was, we would send them to 75ths , it was crazy!
This was good discussion, 👍 I am glad that Chris is in a good place now with himself, family, and faith. It is amazing how we compare ourselves to each other, we miss our true selves.
Great!
Chris Voss did FBI negotiating, unless it’s another Chris Voss. Saved my life.
The response regarding 'making the mistakes' ..and then closing the loop by creating the solution👍🏻 ..the best teams are made like that🥇Chubbin'..now that's developing high culture through RUclips😂
Chris it was nice seeing you again in this podcast after we met during fundraising for veterans in Omaha.
Iam very happy to have stumbled upon your podcast. Keep up the good work gentleman.
I've always wondered if the two CAG guys were dragged off exchange/lliaison with the closest foreign SOF unit.
Seals/sf/delta are not set up to fight a damn large force. Rangers are the best SOF for going up against large forces up until a point then you call in 82nd/101st airborne/10th mountain. But the rescues Rangers are the best as far as not getting outnumbered. We just don’t have enough seals/delta/Devgru/12 man ODA Det. Yes the CIF is a response force but Rangers are still a larger quantity. Sometimes quality doesn’t matter against large forces.
Thank you to "Tonto's" wife and family for sharing him with us ☺
That was fun really. I just live in the basement lost my TS/SCI a long time ago so I can say whatever I want almost. You doing good show guys 🤣 btw. Jack you should try wearing that Aghan hat you could have free stuff in a gas station I`m not joking
I only wear sunglasses almost all of the time!
Lol, I worked in a Chevron from 91-94 before I joined the Military and it was a great job! I spent 20 years in the military and am now disabled bc of it but I'd totally go work at a gas station again with my buddies! Lol
wow. what. a. show. great interview guys!
Shout out from Wichita Ks Tanto!
At 3:05:49: The wall paintings were done by a guy in my RIP class. He was on profile awaiting recycle so he had the time to paint. He also painted the repel scene (we didn't know about fast-roping yet lol) by the Cadre Office. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name...
2002 Fort Benning Georgia it started to change drill instructors was afraid to rough up recruits somebody got in trouble right before i got to basic
It always come down staying Grounded, because operating at the tempo of Special Ops tends to be EGO toxic
While the dictionary defines meek as humbleness, biblically meek means strength under control.
I JUST LOVE CHRIS 'S STYLE.. NOT TO MENTION WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US AND OUR COUNTRY. THANK YOU CHRIS..MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS...
This episode literally is the reason I started buying sheathunderwear used the team20 code just now 😅
Thank you for your service
Tanto,I am glad you said GOD.GOD save so many times.Tanto my Brother take care.
Shit, I remember getting headbutted by a DI on Parris Island the first day they introduced you to the DIs.
I like the interview. Thank you, sir.
I graduated infantry OSUT in June, none of the DS had their ranger tab, but we had one long tabbed senior DS. Our company CO did have his ranger tab though.
When I went thru OSUT in 1985 we had a few DIs with Vietnam combat patches. But I never saw a Ranger tab. Had a CO longtabber in Basic but he was just biding his time to go back to an ODA with his O4. Same with HHC co. Comander in 1/15 th. 0-3 longtabber running a mech inf HHQ co and he hated it. Lmao.
@@phlipperbrooks129 Our long tabbed senior drill is now a team sgt on his ODA again, he pinned E8 right before we graduated. There were only 2 or 3 drills that were slick sleeve. We had a bunch of 10th mt, 101st, and 82nd DS.
At 59:59, "Never go full-retard!" -- Sgt. Lincoln Osiris (Tropic Thunder, 2008)
Should of been a national servicemen in south africa we got beat up loads
1sg Noland was my senior drill at B 2/58, while I was platoon guide someone tried ducking first formation by hiding in a wall locker. When sfc Noland opened said wall locker the shitbag took a swing on him and got tossed three bunks down. Funniest shit
Feel like I know Tonto....Seems so genuinely nice and funny too.

The protection of a guest in a village goes back to old testament times. Read about Sodom and Gamora. The guest need not be hurt. Or even someone you want to love or be friends with. It could be your enemy. But, if you take them as a guest, you must protect them, just like Lot did. Oh, and don't look back!
It goes back even beyond that
Thank-you Mr Tanto
Knew it was going to be good once i seen Khris. #BadAss
Meek doesn't mean the weak and timid back then meek was a term used for there horses and strong and powerful yet under control and willing to submit
love the bit about moral courage. sad the valhalla types aren't welcome lol.
Old 'Her ass is up to her neck' Paronto. Good times.
Gentlemen I have to say this was a great time listening to you three. Dueces
You need to unfuck that Internet connection!
No wonder I gave up my old life god I hope I make it to the regiment idt I can get what I’m looking for else where
Awesome
About the change of beret happened 2003 when i was in 2id 1/23 inf reg 1st Stryker brigade combat team (sbct) in ft lewis wa
Every time we ran pt around the airfield we yell "Irene"
We all thought it was embarrassing and unfair to steal it from the rangers
So if a CIA Case Officer says, “you were alone, but you were never really alone. There was always people on your side not too far away that could get you out”, that would mean a GRS team are those people? Probably just one mission that’s done, of course but super lo vis QRF?
Do you think the shadowy part of our government that didn't send help, maybe help dial the mortars in?
Great show. But we have to care who is in office. It really does affect all of us. When what they are doing is killing our kids and family with their mandates and such.....
I love the show, but dude, the intro is really terrible. Hire someone else for voice work like that. Please change or update the intro - it’s awful.
I cringe everytime I hear it.
It doesn't have to be fancy to be good. Combat Story podcast has one of my fav intros - minute and a half that gets you hyped and sets up the interview well!
It's awesome and real.... unlike you cry babies 💯
It took me so long to actually listen to an episode and sub. I would start the show, say oh dang this is corny as hell, and turn it off. I can’t remember which guest actually made me stick through it.
If the radio calls ever got "found" from that night, sh*t would hit the fan and people's idea of Obama would change drastically.
Nobody in the comments says anything about the “I grew up around the wetbacks” statement? 😂
I'm empty and broke. The money can only help me, not bring me more emptiness.
It hast nothing to do with perfection @ all !!! It hast everything to do with it being a choice !!! I will not screw anyone's wife !! & I will go to battle with you ... but not over stupid crap !!! Our choice selector isn't broken !!! Yes I have & do choose poor choices !!!! But we aren't with out choices to select from !!! every choice has it's own out come !!! I'm a Veteran also .. It doesn't take much to realize not to do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you !!! Knowing others choose their own choices ! we do what we have to do & are trained to do in the Army !!! self control is a personal choice ! I'm hard core when it comes to observing others choice selection ... to each their own till it gets real ugly & whom ever becomes the animal we are sent to stop ! I have no issues dealing with animals period ! what ever it takes to stop the aggression ! I have no issues with being the aggressor in battle ... or on a mission , fire fight ... but to kill for killing sake innocent non combative individuals when there's no logical reason to do so just to kill someone not on my watch ! collateral damage happens ! & things do happen .. understandable ... Often the enemy comes in all kinds of forms women & children ... observant & alert do what you can .. enough said I served with all kinds .. those I trust & those I didn't ... everyone of them proved what they are about .. observant & alert ... just did my job !
Shouldn't Kris have kept his blue cord anyway? 11B would have just been his Secondary MOS.
Tantooooooooooooooooooo
love ur family, work hard, dont kill or fuck babys and ur on the right
I'd like to speak to Chris next to a braai
173 Army Paratroopers based out of Vicenza, Italy. Easily could have been there and saved the day.
SUA SPONTE AND RLTW
I wish Jack didn't cut Kris off so rudely...
He's got to segway into these commercials better,
Good show tho
Guys interrview willie apiata
I think the intro would be nicer without the voice
👍
That’s fucked up they just pushed him off the roof
Great interview. One thing though.. Why does he look like that? is that even human?....
Anyways i'm giving a like to these ape lookalikes

If your going to cheat on your husband or wife - don’t get married. No excuses, you don’t know how it feels to be cheated on. It can ruin lives and families. Nothing ever remains the same after.
why do you interrupt the middle of a sentence to read your ad, you do it every single time
This is a live show so we're going to have to interrupt at some point before getting back on topic.
👍
#getsheathed!
When proven operators who have experience in killing bad guys speak, I listen... no matter what I'm doing.
I'm a new sub to your channel. Glad he moved on from being the angry Benghazi guy, and the social media circus. I remember when his story came out and SOFREP turned into an anti-Left, pro-Putin, sh!t show.
@@ThisisFerrariKhan everyone is entitled to their opinions. Respecting a career intel officer who became the commander of a near-peer, nuclear-capable nation is not the same as the fan-boy digital fellatios in the Facebook comments section back then. That's the context.
100% agree with Tanto on volleyball girls bodies. My current FB is a volleyball & her body is tight. My previous 3 exes were also volleyball chickS. They're sooooo hot
Algorithm.
tanto is a bad mf
Did he say wetbacks..?????
Don’t be cheap and do a phone interview the service was trash
Rip right to ranger school lmao some ppl are just some saddest preemptive chubbers 😂
Uh wtf is goin on there with that body language at 2:50?
Kris and John Lovell are so similar!!
I know its easy to say when you weren't there but its wild to me that none of those CIA folks manned up, grabbed a weapon and at least tried to help. Even if they had limited or no training. Every man helps. (unless they didn't have enough ammo or weapons) 20-30 people and not one of them had the balls to step up and try??? I could be speaking out of my ass but I just don't get it
To be honest, sometimes the “civilians” could be a deadweight, so if you’re not train stay there, because the first thing you are going to do is waste all the ammo, you don’t know how to shoot it’s a long etc. it’s think on the long term
