Hope not, they are the best of both worlds the boys have a new consistent episode every week great guests ask great questions. and Shawn stays quite does very quality interviews not as often as it’s hard to get a guest to sit down every week
Kudos to Dave and Jack for breaking down the long (although very interesting) interviews into specific segments, that are well-edited and concise. AATW RLTW DOL
I'm a huge fan of what Jack & Dave have been doing with the T.H. podcast. Keep up the excellent work fellas & the whiskey glasses as well🥃. I watched this entire Gregg Smith podcast in late May & it was a heavy one, very interesting & disturbing. I must add, that having just recently watched the Mr. Prince interview & the 4 convicted then later pardoned 4 Blackwater contractors on the Vigilance Elite podcast, I'm leaning towards E.P. & 4 contractors being the more truthful storytellers. In closing, thanks to all of them, the 4 contractors, E.P., G. Smith, & both podcasts for dishing out this information cause without it, we Americans would be sitting in a deeper, darker hole. Cheers fellas🍻🇺🇸
The whole talk with Gregg was good/ fascinating, between this and the interview with Erik Prince AND the Raven 2-3 guys (yaknow, the ones who were there during Nisour Square, everyone needs to see that one because they also go into detail with the subsequent court ordeal and evidence) with VE/ Shawn Ryan, it really gives a good picture of the whole situation. Unfortunately, there still seems a little bit of bitterness and name-blaming, which sucks to see, but there is a lot of good information between all 3 talks. Also, kinda crappy the way that PSS/ PSC/ PMC's are being talked about, we get excellent training through the company on top of our prior experience from the Military and other correlating jobs/ work, there is no shortage of capability and skill there, you should know that. Working for Constellis (TC/ Centerra/ Academi/ etc.) was a good experience for what it was, not the same as it used to be though on the company side (and the pay ain't nearly as good as it used to be).
@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary He's not a "smart guy", he's just a trust fund baby opportunist who was able to buy his way into political connections. And in case you didn't know, the Clinton administration was and probably is still a major contributor in that.
@@alexander1902 You need to watch his interview with Shawn Ryan, lots of the speculation is debunked in that. The man's an entrepreneur as much as a problem-solver. Apart from that, he is smart because he created one of the most effective Private Security Companies the modern world has ever seen (and still exists in a different inception now, whom i've worked for under new ownership). The Government needed someone to blame, and he and the company got the raw deal.
Blackwater messed up by existing. Erik prince and that whole swamp of wealthy elites like his big sister Betsy Devos and all their friends in China are constantly making the world worse for the average person. They profit from death and war and feel above the law.
The Vigilance Elite Shawn Ryan episode and interview of the Raven 2-3 guys leaves the comments from EP’s former partner seem woefully lacking in respect for what happened to Raven 2-3 guys, their reputations and families after getting psychologically and financially crushed, smeared by the MSM & Politicians and left to rot in prison - I actually considered unsubscribing from TH over the unchecked assertions from this interview.
The TH interview predates the Shawn Ryan Interview by several Months. I found it a little disturbing that EP wouldn't even say Scot Helvenston name, and referred to him as "the SEAL." Not something I would expect him to forget as a former SEAL himself. Shawn never asked any challenging question or pushed back on any of EP's statements. It seemed to be a softball game
Shawn ryan was being friendly to EP, and EP sounded like a good salesman. Very vague on certain points that annoyed him and talked way too much shit about the government yet the government big contracts fed him. Very contradicting to me, then he mentioned Trump should’ve listened to him…. Bla bla bla.
@@bventrig Yep, like the part where Shawn Ryan said he was surprised about Erik's level of involvement in China then they completely glossed over it despite Shawn's concern about the CCP's growing power.
Watched both the Shawn Ryan episodes and it's sadly lacking in any real "teeth" when it comes to innocence on the Blackwater side. EP's episode is just a bunch of whataboutism and blaming the Dems (Obama/Biden) - no surprise there really. Seems to be a lot of fluff and deflections without any real evidence as to how it wasn't negligence on the Blackwater side.
When war kicks off, how do you have soldiers slowly acclimate? Starting with their toes in the water, then a little deeper to knee height, etc and so on….. impossible
@@andrewtarango4128 freakin dude attacked him with a hammer and almost killed him. Jack and Dave go over it in detail in a previous episode from a year or so ago
Is this gonna be the 'DILF' version? Where the Prince bares it All...!!!😉 It sounds about right to throw rookies into a dangerous situation and when they f*ck up, as they inevitably do, they're blamed for the entire mess.
How the hell is Afghanistan not going to turn into a terrorist safe haven? Will JSOC be able to conduct raids at all? This is hurting my head and has nothing to do with this video but FUCK.
Too late to go back in now. Not only is Afghanistan turning into a terrorist paradise yet again, the Taliban's "army" is getting training from the Chinese and Pakistanis . Meaning they're a little better trained than the illiterate goat herders we've fought for 20 years.
It already is... It's simply a matter of which group is more manageable to negotiate with. And whether people know it or not, we'd much rather deal with the Haqqani Network of the Taliban rather than ISIS-K (The Kabul faction of the Islamic State) because even for as bad as the Taliban is they at the very least have some modicum of understanding of how trade & governance works & their goals as an organization is to eventually become its own Nation-State. While ISIS on the other hand has no goals except bringing about Armageddon & total destruction. As crazy as it sounds, that's the truth. ISIS's who entire goal is to anger God so much that he sends down the Mahdi & brings about the Malhama al-Kubra. The best way to put it is, The Taliban is a Sociopolitical Organization with Religious proclivities, ISIS is a Socio-religious Organization with no interests in Politics, just destruction.
Jack and David going to War with Shawn Ryan?

Or riding his coat tails. Wonder how long this episode ha so been planned.
Our Ep with Gregg Smith was 4 months ago.
@@TheTeamHousePodcast was a great ep! Thanks y’all

it's very petty of TH to rehash these just because he's on another podcast,
