Very good interview! Like always you ask the best questions.
Stuff it chump.
Valuetainment in the case with Apple the twist is that apple keeps there user data safe but FBI want to install a backdoor to there encryption that is not a problem in it self but the same backdoor allows everyone to use it witch defeats having encryption in the beginning that’s the problem
Comey is a black eye to the FBI, a complete disgrace
One thing I noticed with all Retired Under Covers whether they like or not they all enjoyed being the bad guy some more than others.
The one thing that stood out to me about this gentleman is how humble and down to earth he is. There aren’t many guys from that world, military world, etc that are able to check their ego at the door.
How do you know? You take a survey or something? You keep stats and records?
(Everyone is such an expert online !)
Military are a bunch of fuckin crybabies lol
@@bigmike1850 I'm no big fan of the military, but most of the folks I've met are super humble and respectful of others.
I got the exact opposite vibe. I felt like he was a sociopath who got a rush out of essentially being a federally justified criminal
@@nastybastardatlive I know because 1.) I served in the Army for 13 years and 2.) I am a former Federal Officer. So I have a little bit of experience. Glad I could clear that up for ya’.
Not many interviewers actually ask the questions that so many listeners want to ask. Good work.
The real story would be if someone infiltrated the FBI and told them stories.
Guess who I’ll go at it
Big facts no cap
Casey Smith i know they crooks
Yea
Ha yeah , never thought of that . Good un
Agent McGowan had me at the Christmas tree, handwritten script....wife and daughter....my eyes filled as my heart knew the love you could finally share. What amazing character you have sir. A hero for America. And this is what Sylvester Stallone also must have seen and felt.
I think what this channel needs right now is, a video with an FBI Or DEA agent talking about the dirty cops and what they really get up to.
Dude retired, but his Yosemite Sam stache stayed on the job for five months longer to "finish up a case"
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Underrated Comment
Jeffrey D 😂😂😂
Yes. Hilarious
goddamn lol
Pat your interviews are next level. You ask all the right things!
Not really. He asked this guy about the rights of american citizens and the constitution. You can't discuss the nuanced morality and environmental impact of hunting with a hound dog.
the lesson i learned, dont wear a 8$ socks with a 1500 dollars suit
dam who would do that i guess a cop no way would i wear cheap shit with exspensive shit thats retarted really is its llike wearing a gold chain with fake charm lol
I thought the point was- don't think you're a badass gangsta when you go sox shopping at JC Penny's
amen
Where do y’all buy socks from?
Sippin Water Kohl’s!
By far the best source for interviews,not only because they are entertaining but because of the insight the interviewer gives,and how he allows the guest to actually tell their stories
And great quality questions
The big problem with giving any government back door access to smartphones is the fact that law enforcement tends to skew toward abusing this power. This is why we put limits on what our government can do.
what are you worried about them doing specifically?
Praise God for Apple
This man has more guts than all of the critics in the space combined! Props and thank you for your service.
More space, than social media can "shake about"
The U.S and Mexican government assisted the Sinaloa and Gulf Cartel heavily. Zetas Cartel at one point were running the entire country the government was forced to form an alliance with the sinaloa cartel and the rest of the cartels to fight them, and still couldnt beat the Zetas. The civil war within the Zetas was what destroyed them, they went to war with eachother and split into two cartels, Cartel del Noreste - Z and Zetas Viejas Escuela. Not to mention the ATF supplying Cartels with weapons.
Lmao zetas weren't shit plus there founders once soldiers for the gulf cartel who is one of the biggest next with Sinaloa and Jalisco they got they asses handed
ATF trafficked weapons? Noooo wayyyy !
@@datcityboicali4255 Sinaloa Cartel was getting their asses kicked by Z-3 and Z-40. Chapo was scared of both of them especially Z-3, thats why he kept on informing the government (Mainly the Marines) on Zeta leader whereabouts. As for Jalisco, the CJNG is a cartel made up of snitches, Junkies and other cartel drop outs thats why in mexico they are known as the "Torcidos". CJNG was and will never be as big as the original Zetas. CJNG is getting spanked left and right at the moment. Cartel Del Noreste - Zetas are spanking them in the Northeast, La Nueva Familia Michoacana is spanking them in Michoacan and Jalisco, other Zetas factions are killing CJNG in Veracruz, even El marro wiping them out, Sinaloa Cartel is also spanking them. CJNG days are numbered.
@@Garandmasthumb Yes ATF supplied cartels with weapons mainly the Sinaloa and Gulf Cartel to fight the Zetas Cartel. If you youtube or google "ATF fast and furious" a whole bunch of info will pop up on that, Obama administration approved it if i remember correctly.
@@martianfromspace8292 your speaking out your ass that's why most zetas leaders died or got locked up lol they were bitches who extorted and killed innocent people the gulf smashed alot of there people and cartel del noreste is not even a factor lol they getting killed left and right
Great interview! Thanks Patrick.
Pat, if you would've joined the FBI, you would have been a great agent. You're way of talking with people and getting answers, is impressive. Love the fact that you're an immigrant and love America, knowing you made the right decision to come here. Love your channel, great job.
So you believe Columbus is credited with discovering your country in 1492?
Valuetainment (Pat) does ALL the BEST interviews.
💯 Up there with my all time favourite RUclips channels
I've been waiting on this, thanks Pat for bringing us unique, interesting context.
You mean content
I read his book when it first came out. Excellent interview again
New fan here, I have listened to about eight full stories. Keep up the great work. Congratulations on all your accomplishments sir.
I don't know how I feel about this guy's interviewing style, yet I still watch.
Patrick and Brian Rose are my favorite interviewers, always solid content
This was a GREAT interview...keep up the good content!!!!
Greatest interviewer, make no mistake it looks easy but it takes a lot of skills to make it look as easy and flawlessly as patrick does it, never loses my focus for a split second great work.
Than you. PBD.
PBD is incredible. Especially being versed in the array of topics as these specialists. Howard Stern is up there as one of the best ever.....
Yea Pat’s a beast. Like you’d see in any other arena he makes a craft look easy, plus he shines light on such interesting guests. And this is just a gut read, but interviewing feels like a side hustle for him as I suspect business ideas are rolling around his head at least as much.
He puts out good stuff no doubt about it!
Þór Hallgrímsson it’s pretty natural for a persons views to be conveyed when sharing hours and hours of content...at least he’s not injecting an agenda. Ala there’s no string pullers behind him staging what we’re seeing...not yet at least 😆
I’m comparing him to anyone else in the media I guess
Great interview! ✌️
Another great one 👍👍
Finally a real gangster. A soldier from the Clinton crime family. You've hit the big time here Patrick.
...so said don Vito Cascioferro! :D LOL! ...n'altro strunzu mafioso! :) ...ma guarda da qual pulpito arriva a' predica!
@BxxDxx Hoodoo ...yes - I KNOW IT, while you don't even have the slightest clue what I've just written! XD :D ... ma guarda questi, ooh!... :) :) Cascioferro preaching! - FUCK! - GOOD ONE! XD hahahaha! XD :D
Can you please elaborate the connection between the two?
@@2serveand2protect every idiot can use google translate to easily understand what you said, sceccu
@@terryfeynman ...yeah, but here's the thing - I DON'T (have to use any "Google-translators")! :D I speak, read and write English, Polish and Italian perfectly, not to mention a couple of other languages, so go back to school! hahaha! XD :D
Hey! i'm actually having FUN with you! :)
FBI agent: H-..
Patrick: Very interesting, very interesting.
So true
Impressive..
@@zjokolade lol the interviewee was like huh?
Such a bad interviewer. He is completely in love with himself
as a father, my best life is hide and seek and school work. being dad is my whole world. my career just facilitates that
Nicely said
Great Show!! Thank You and Happy Healthy 2020 🎊
Truly enjoyed this interview as I have with many of your others. My ears even perked even more so when you stated that you had a desire to either enter law enforcement/ FBI or Fire service. I have enjoyed my career as a firefighter/ Paramedic for the past 30 years. My ears even perked even higher when you stated El Camino College, I attended Rio Hondo College / Mt. San Antonio College in SoCal for my Firefighter technology/ Academy and Mt.SAC Paramedic program.
Most awkward moment ever ..."very impressive, how the serial killer has remained on the street after 10 years...." what???? Lol
Pat alternates between insightful and insane. But always confident.
@@jimfoley8014 he was obviously blabbering on, just trying to get to the next question, not listening as previously mentioned by the walrus-man-bear-pig.
the beginning part about his dad is pretty bad imo. I have never seen someone bring up and then keep mentioning their dead dad in such a short time period....
Wig Splitter given he said it to the guy that let the killer get away!! Priceless
It certainly wasn't Patrick's finest moment!
I'm surprised he started to get into FBI and government overreach. This guy's stories and experience as an undercover agent are much more interesting than his perspective on government overreach.
Yeah, Pat was asking him a lot of questions that had nothing to do with him. Especially trying to get him to talk about the things you mentioned
Incredible story, raised feral by a family of Walrus.. made it all the way to the Top of the FBI. Inspirational.
Great questions awesome interview!! 🤘😎
Amazing interview and story !
Another great interview from patrick !
Just found this channel and I'm binging every episode, awesome content!
Looks exactly like Frank “Frankie 5 angels” Pentangeli from The Godfather Part 2😂
Jim Bing 😂😂
My brother was always alot tougher than me, he could of had his own family
Corelone says hello! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
“Mike let’s hit them now while we have the muscle!”
Michael Corleone did this Michael Corleone did that it was all Lies😂😂😂
How is PDB not a bigger name. This dude does the best interviews
Cartel didn't notice that this guy's English had no Italian accent to it lol.
Who was this guy undercover with? A herd of walruses?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😄😄😄lmao😂😂😂
Hey thanks for that man...
Almost PISSED myself!
Pahahaha
Christ man!! Ya gotta WARN a brother when yer gonna do that.....spewed coffee straight outta my nose! Outstanding!
Thanks for the good material man love your channel. 🎏
The socks thing is right on point. Great interview
Your a lucky man. You interview the most fascinating people. Another top notch show. Thank you.
Your interview show is fantastic!. This guy Michael Mcgowan is the man. The old time irish guys are tough as nails. I have much respect for what they do.
Thanks for your program.
fuck you, hate cops
Now they aren’t tough, they are drunken oafs
Pat is a fantastic interviewer, always prepared
“When the people fear their government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty” - Thomas Jefferson
No commas
Worst quote ever.
Jefferson was a hypocrite
When the government fears the criminal gangs you have a failed state where fear rules and everybody wants to leave......
Yes!
Some of patricks reactions to his stories is priceless.
"No way!"
"You're kidding" 😂
“Some guys you have to push at and some guy you gotta give them their space.”
Hidden golden nugget of information here. Insanely applicable to business.
I like how he gives the serial killer props for still being out and about after all these years... you can tell The Agent didn’t like it though😬🤣
Astoundingly good channel!
Fantastic content man...keep it coming!
Fake mustache an eyebrows he's undercover doing this interview very clever man.
Hauahauauauaua
Looks difficult to do facial expressions with the fake chin, cheeks and eye bags
Gee Miller I thought the same thing
I couldn't agree more. His ass is still so fake here tho
That’s not a fake mustache. I’ve seen him interviewed before with George Anastasia who covers the Philadelphia mob.
Patrick you are the best!
Great interviews and you are a great listener,that is way you are awesome.
11:35 "we butt-dialed a serial killer" LOL
Whoopsie!
Thank you for your service, Patrick! I didn’t realize you were a USA Air Force vet until now. 🇺🇸 and yes, thank you undercover FBI agent for the interview. I’m not a big supporter of “under-covers” but you gotta respect Mr. McGowan for agreeing to interview on RUclips.
Army vet
BOOT LICKER, YOU MAKE ME SICK!
The problem with the time the FBI went to Apple is like with any other organization asking to be trusted with information. The organization must be trustworthy. In this day and time, unfortunately, I can’t think of any organization that has that kind of integrity.
True! There was a bill I was reading on that they were recently trying to pass on 2022 of the government trying to get access to all cell carriers and access to all customer phones, clouds and access to all pictures and videos so they can go through every picture and video to make sure there were no underage sex trafficking pictures or videos. I get the reasoning behind it but they said the personnel going through it would not try to save any legal sexual pictures of anyone. Which if passed, would go south quickly. Leaks everywhere.
Dude u do the best interview that I ENJOY so ur definitely my number one guy when I want to sit back and relax for an hour after a long day at work!!! Awesome work keep bringing the interview bro ur AWESOME 😎
Wow great interview 👍
Good people always asked a very good & smart questions 👍 your the man bro ..
Please keep making more informative videos like this! Because in times like the ones we're living people should see how their government is working for them and not against them , plus you do a great job as a interviewer!.
It’s hard to believe real street guys couldn’t make this guy. He looks like a cop.
100%.
He's not in character...
He looks like Wally the Walrus from Woody Woodpecker.
He is a cop. Why would he hide that outside his work?
He looks like a pervertw
this is 1 of your best
My hat is off to you.... great interviewer.... doesnt get in the way of the interview and its all about the guest..... you are amazing
When he was posing as a dirt inspector:
"They think this is some nut.. But, at least they dont think im an F.B.I agent"... 😂😂
This guy is cold as ice!!!
He managed to tell very little about everything during this interview.
tell me about it and u can never trust the alhpa bet boys and he is keeping secrets and this guy is one of the better ones they are the mob today no disrespect to the mobs lol
yep, imagine that, he used a lot of words & didn't say shit of importance or prob truth either & he answered all those questions without really answering anything..... He ought to be a politician or media. He's just proved he's totally qualified for both.
That’s his job. Hah.
Fredrikbb wasted everybody’s time ,this was all advertisement for that book
that qualifies him very well, to get into... politics!
Amazing interview!!!!
Good interview.
Love the interviews. So interesting, eye opening and well ran. Kudos
Thanks Patrick for working hard on this interview...not many people can do what you do. 🙏
This is a timely interview given what's going on at the FBI right now. I'm glad to have seen it. Thx Pat!
Thanks for your energy... love your shows
What a great insightful interview. Thank you so much.
Im happy that you included that first clip. Everything is done to make money. All politics, gov agencies, etc. Both sides, parties, bureau's.
Just bought the book on Audible. Looking forward to listening.
Just love Patrick’s work and style. Always objective, always interesting,. Guests are always comfortable enough to go along with his line of questioning.
I can't lie i'm not a big fan of him
Good interview!
Again Patrick l enjoyed your interview with the Retired Agency & would love to his book! God Bless & be safe!
"They call him the cheese man, cause he looks like a big old hunk of wet mozzarella"
I'm fascinated how Bet-David gets all these great interviews, but I as someone who speaks several languages, I'm still trying to decipher his overlapping accents...I hear a lot of influences. I totally agree with the former Agents assessment of who the FBI has in charge, vs the street Agents. It's the same in the Military.. you have us, the "talent ", the trigger-pullers, and you have layers and layers of support personnel (POG's) and the Command level where unfortunately many are promoted FAR beyond their capabilities. In my book, I'll Chronicle that story from the Cold War, all through the Gulf War, War on Terror, and into doing "Company " stuff and Contracting. Itll be both funny, sad, and eye opening. Keep up the good work here!
I love his ethics and integrity. Totally how i live as well. Now i dont think i have the guts to be an undercover agent, but the ethics and integrity are high on my way of life.
Prob one of my favorite interviews!
I agree with President Trump, the Entire US intelligence community is, "out of order and are very, very, poor in some areas...we'll have to see".
Patrick you’re an amazing interviewer.
Would have liked to hear about his experiences with the Russian mob!
Patrick Bet-David, your interviewing skills are showing the work that you have been putting. Both you and your interviews are getting better. Keep it up and thank you.
Man, the content coming out of this channel is out of this world!
Keep it up.
I retired after 19 years as a cop it was hell of a life. I wouldn't go back now if they'd double my salary.
I gotta tell ya...I certainly respect the guy and anybody that’s got the balls to engage in undercover work and I understand that somebody has to do it but man it’s no kind of life to live. I don’t envy this man. Not at all.
Well, he said his 30-year career was the absolute highlight of his whole entire life. Thus without it his life would have been dull. Go figure, right?
He is under his mustache cover 😂😂
😂
He tickles Clinton's asshole with it.
not all but i know a lot of mafia members do not allow men with mustaches the reason... "because rats have tails" i look at him and i look at people like donnie brasco e.t.c and it makes sense
@@FightsAndRapMedia would I hire a fuckhead that looked like that? Fuck no. This guy is full of shit. I'd hammer his dome in a second. What a joke. Do you really think the mob would hire Wallyy the Walrus from Woody Woodpecker cartoons. LOL
Omar Alghamdi I don’t know what good one say it and baang you said! 😂 😂
this was a very good interview patrick good job nice insight
I bought his book because of this interview. So cool
Terrifying. There's a serial killer that they didn't get, I wouldn't be able to let him get away with it , the mafia, working with psychopaths ... the devil himself . No way. How can anyone do that and be normal again. High Honors to him. God bless him.
did anyone else think it was weird that the host answered 'very impressive' to that serial killer story?
MANY SERIAL KILLERS ( THEY DON'T NO ANY BETTER {THAT'S THE PROBLEM])
I didn’t realize Wilford Brimley moonlighted as an FBI agent
This man put his life on the line to protect you, me and America. Much respect. I don't see one comment commending this brave man for putting his life on the line to protect people he doesn't even know. That's a true hero in my eyes.
I went to High School with Mike, i didn’t realize he had such a great career!
You do AMAZING interviews!
Keep’em coming!
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Great stories about real life. Guys like this make us safer.
He was doing so good until the 57:00 mark. The Constitution was written to protect us against this way of thinking. Constitutional scholars, WTF?...
I concur 100%
And ???

Wait, so the mascot for the monopoly board game was a FBI agent undercover?
