Im currently in a 28 day treatment in Minnesota at hazelden Betty Ford for opiate addiction that i have from a hockey injury when I was a young man. Im now 44 years old and have in the last few years have been using fentanyl. Im from Montana. The dirty 30's are everywhere.. its the devil drug. Im embarrassed to admit that but I want people to know how real this shit is and its even in small town USA... im looking forward to my sobriety. Been clean a little over 2 weeks. Getting off this shit was hell and I literally wanted to die. I left it at God's feet and went cold turkey being that they have a medical staff here. Inform your family and especially your children this shit is dangerous and deadly and it will hook you quick. I have lost family members from this shit...
@@ShawnRyanShow thank you for all the information you share. I value everything you do. I have been a fan since the beginning. This information can save lives. God bless and always Godspeed 🙏
@@nolaningersoll4129 thank you for the positive message and im glad to hear that you have been in recovery for that long. I have nothing but respect for those in recovery. To fight and win the battle of addiction day in and day out is not for the weak. Some are still suffering and many die. Prayers sent for many more years of recovery for you.
That’s a great start I’m very proud of you man. It will be the hardest thing you’ll ever do in life but you can succeed and you tell yourself you have to succeed for your family friends and everybody, and the number one yourself you can do it don’t ever give up. Take one step and keep sprinting never stop!!!!!
Something is wrong with mainstream media when a retired Navy SEAL and former CIA operative, who became a firearms instructor and RUclips podcaster, is putting out better interviews and content than even National Geographic, Discovery, and all other news channels. Keep it up, Shawn! The world needs this now more than ever.
This is great education on the topic, and I pray it helps raise more awareness to this crisis sweeping our country. It’s not creeping, but swiftly leaping into small towns all over. Never has an episode been more timely to me. Thank you💙
You just be careful, hermano! I have a feeling cartels are like vipers: biters by nature. Plus, I know journalists can easily be targeted, especially if a rival sees you as an enemy's asset.
@Luis Chaparro it absolutely has purpose! The information you shared is top notch, and I do know first hand that the Imported fentanyl is rampant in the streets all around the country. I have seen the transition from heroin, to fentanyl laced heroin, to straight fentanyl and even batches of carfentanyl that smoked a lot of people immediately. If we didn't have narcan so readily available, the death count by overdose would be well over triple the amount per year. Unfortunately, addicts already know the risks involved, and so old habits die hard. Literally. But if we can reach the masses to steer kids, and young adults clear before it's too late...we need to do that! Opiates of any sort are no joke at all. It all starts with that one pill, and if you're not informed you will get lost in it. I've been there, done that. Pre 2011 military used to hand painkillers out like candy. Even after I ets'd I was on painkillers. One day they shut the opiate painkillers down like flipping a switch. I turned to the street. In short..... It was a long, painful road to get sober many years later. I lost a lot, learned a lot, and unfortunately A lot of people around me died. Sorry man, got long winded there. 6 years clean though, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm still an addict and Always will be. But clean and grateful! You're definitely one of my favorites on the Shawn Ryan Show. Glad to see you on again! You're doing God's work as far as I'm concerned. Keep up the great work Luis!!! God bless!
I hope you actually read comments so I can say Thank You. I am a cancer patient and a Navy Vet. On "bad days" just closing my eyes and listening to true interesting content makes the time pass just a little easier.
I said a healing prayer for you this morning. A scripture came to mind. A verse that has help through my own struggles; Psalms 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I was addicted to heroin for 13 years, went homeless for the last year of using and finally ended up in jail where I was able to clean up for the six months I was in. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and lost about 70% of my friends throughout the whole time. Thank you for giving this topic the exposure that you did.
Keep on keeping on my friend I'm 31 got addicted when I was 19 only been clean for 3 months now.. it rough but I'd rather deal with anything else than go back to that lifestyle congratulations my friend just wanted to comment and let you know that I'm right here with you
“Should we call the embassy?” For some reason, that made me crack up so much hahaha. Glad Sean and Luis both laughed too. Like they said… what the hell is the embassy going to do?!?!
You're the first person that I've heard say that about China, creating the fentanyl epidemic in the US to help them achieve becoming a superpower. I've been saying that for years! I'm let down that our government seems to be letting it happen without notice. Great job Sir!
Shawn, no bullshit you’re SERIOUSLY one of, if not THE BEST interviewer that’s currently out their right now!!!! All of the people you bring on your show to interview tell their life stories raw and uncut!! And you ALWAYS make it all about THEM! That’s what I like most about you! Even with all of your personal experience with the teams or contracting overseas with the CIA. You don’t gloat or take over the interview with a bunch of stories about what YOU have done, or try to compare stories. You let the interview flow naturally and I think that’s what at makes it PERFECT!! You know when to interject and it’s always at the perfect time and keeps it going! You Sir, need to be on a major network with an even bigger platform. I feel like the vast majority of Americans can relate to you, respect the HELL out of you and understand where you’re coming from. You’re putting information out there that NONE of the major media networks have put out!! As a Law Enforcement Officer myself, I learned quite a bit after listening to this. Information I had not heard of and will absolutely be useful down the road. I always walk away after watching your interviews having learned something new. And you continue to out do yourself with each new interview! I’m looking forward to the next one!! Keep up the good work!! @vigilanceElite.
Lol his first thing he said was people make 1000 pesos a month which is 500 dollars. Look at the exchange rate I live here. 10k is 500. Not only that MIN WAGE in mexico is 8000 a month which is about 400 dollars . Fake
@@ShawnRyanShow man y'all put better information then the fucking national news does and the name of the new drug is called ISO on the streets it's scary and if u don't know what ur getting ur done
The 1st generation American immigrant talk really hit home with me. The 1st love of my life was a 1st generation American. Parents immigrated from Mexico just prior to her birth. They created a business that became very successful. Their daughter took over that business and is now greatly successful. She started working at job sites when we were dating. She told me about the struggles of being a woman on those sites. Those memories of listening to her parents story always struck me as the epitome of the American dream. I was always truly in awe of them. Currently, one of my coworkers is a 1st generation American and is obsessed with TIk Tok and social media in general. He is one of the laziest people I have ever worked with. Yet is constantly telling me how he hasn't been promoted because he is Mexican. I salute and will admire the real ones. Any individual that wants better, works harder, even if the outcome isn't the same. I am a co worker to that guy because of covid. Yet my 1st love and her family are still prospering.
There once was a time when the media would report on information like this. Now it's down to brave individuals like you Shawn and your guests to inform the public. Great content; a riveting watch. Best wishes from 🇬🇧
im from mexico but this is some bullshit that guy didn't say anything new, he visited mexico for a day and hanged out with the cartel's top head? thats the equivalent of me saying I went to England for a day and met the queen. thats american propaganda for you, literally every american documentary CLAIMS they have information NEVER seen before, then they make up a scene with paid actors and say "we captured this rare footage" lol.
LOL I love when he starts talking about the training camp and the tactical aspects Shawn is all of a sudden it seems ten times more interested and firing questions. Military man at heart !
When talking about the cartels eating the enemies heart you could see in Shawn’s eyes remembering some horrific stuff. Thank you for all the things you do with these videos.
My kids just lost their dad (my ex husband) on March 27th from an overdose: fentanyl laced heroin. No more second chances for him. No second chances for my kids to have him. He deserved a life, and in an instant it was over. I cried a lot during this episode, but I couldn’t stop watching either. This is the whispered epidemic in America that we need to start screaming about.
It feels wrong to “like” this comment, but just showing support for your kids and you, even though he was your ex you always care about the father of your children.
There is no reason for all this death. The Government gave Morphine to the Soldiers addicted in WWI. There is no reason they couldn’t provide a safe product with counselling.
Your kids are lucky to have a momma with a head on her shoulders. I’m assuming you are taking good care of them and you should know there are lots of other great people out there like you, that have lost loved ones to this problem just like you. I recommend reaching out to these groups and really reinforcing their purpose which is to spread awareness and help each other out of this terrible scourge. Stay strong. He was sick and the disease got the best of him.
This show only gets better. Ive seen every interview since branching into this channel and have been watching Vigilance Elite content for years. I wasn't former military but I felt the instructional tactics/shooting videos back then we're the best on RUclips so it doesn't surprise me the high level of content Shawn continues to put out in these extremely informative interviews. Thanks for the hard work!
Shawn Ryan is a man among men. These are some of the greatest interviews/guests ever. I work on a pineapple farm in Hawaii and I listen to as many podcasts as possible while working in the field. Thank you Shawn for making my life more interesting, and gaining knowledge every day. Love you brother🤙🏼 aloha from Hawaii
Is it hard to get a job in the fields? I was born in Hawaii but live in Alabama now and I'm dying to move back to Hawaii. Which island do you live on ?
Contare Shawn. I'm 81 years old & i haven't listened to MSM for years. Finally canceled my cable altogether. Wasn't using it anyway. I'm happy i found your podcast! I am absolutely addicted to it!! I learn a lot & love how so many of the Vets share how they have found God & how you support our wounded warriors mentally. Also, great information like this podcast.
Shawn first off thank you, thank you for giving you’re everything to defend those around the world who were unable to defend themselves. Thank you for bringing us the real raw truth. Thank you for the way in which you conduct you’re self on the show, so often when people talk about addiction they take the cheap way out and show the crazy cracked out homeless person screaming at no one in the street half naked, this may be a great way to entertain people but it in no way is indicative of the average American who has a job a family a home friends bills a normal life but also happens to be addicted I have been an addict for 26 years and you would never know I have a job a Harley a wife a house friends but I also have a ton of pain, pain from being abused as a kid hiding that pain with drugs which only brings more pain which I try to hide with more drugs and it just keeps going. I put myself through the ringer way more then anyone else could. People’s comments and harsh words do nothing but tear down people who are already struggling. And you don’t do that you tell the story you keep it real and raw and you don’t stack people and talk shit about what people are going through thank you my man
Really amazing interview it’s!! It’s crazy how they trust him enough to show him what they want him to see. I just hope he’s careful and man I don’t know you know they could change at any time. I hope he’s careful and knows what he’s doing seems like a great guy but he’s really putting his life on the line by doing this this is better than any other news channel in the world. What a great interview thanks for this Shawn Ryan!!!
Another absolute zinger!! You are an asset to us when it comes to real stories/news Shawn! I’m sharing all of these with my friends and family. Road to 1 million subs!
I haven't watched TV for many years now, but I absolutely seek out worthwhile podcasts, and this one is my favorite along with Andy Frisella. Harsh truths, harsh realities, presented in an exquisite tatsteful manor, but also unfiltered and tainted by mainstream narrative. I appreciate all that you do!!
This channel is something different. It's very real, and intense. These interviews make my palms sweat, and my mouth dry like I am getting ready for a fight. It is amazing to me that such things can be experienced from watching a video. I watch them all, Shawn, and I have been for a while. I never comment, because my opinions are just that, but I think you are doing a great thing for humanity. Many years from now others will learn from this channel, and gain knowledge about our human behavior, and out psychological makeup. This man you are interviewing. I just wonder about his safety, and if he is concerned that sooner or later one of his contacts finds some small reason not to trust him, and then what? I hope that never happens, but I cannot help but think about that. Thank you for this channel. I has helped me in some of the darkest times in my life, and I know it will help many others. I love your work, man I hope you can believe the sincerity in that.
Same here. I listen then watch. I always go back and watch to observe your and your guests' sincerity. Sure, masks were important to the job and kept ya'll alive, but those jobs, for the most part, are in the past. I get the feeling that the new "mission" is to wake up America!! Doing my bit by sharing your news.
You are one of the best (if not the best) in the content of your show. I am a Viet Nam vet ( yeh I am and old dude) and love sharing your shows with family and friends.
Love the show. The first interview you had with Luis was excellent and this one was great as well. I definitely would like to see more of this type of content so please keep it coming.
Awesome show Shawn! I could definitely feel the slight unease when Luis started talked about how they do investigations. Made me feel tension too, but that is what makes this all so great! I appreciate you, Keep it coming!
Thank you Luis for all the information and knowledge you share with all of us. I really appreciate it and enjoy watching your interviews with Shawn. Thank you Shawn, for bringing back Luis and all the great video’s you do. I know this is a old video, I’m binge watching all your video’s.
Shawn you have the best content, hands down, over anyone else! I’m captivated the entire time. It sucks for me when I have to stop in the middle, even though I’m just gonna finish it later! Keep up the great work!!
Yup, former opiate addict here for almost a decade from the herniated discs I developed flying the F-18 and the loss associated with having to stop flying and leave the Navy. Never came across fentanyl thank god, but the struggle is still the same.
This is extremely eye opening! I’ve only ever heard the cartel spoken or represented in the context of…you’re almost certainly gonna die a gruesome death. It wasn’t until the show Ozark that even mentioned cartel trusting anyone. So, to hear him talk about cartel trusting him to talk to you about them is fascinating! And to remind us why so many people are illegally immigrating to the US because they don’t have ANY hope in Mexico….amazing. Love it Shawn! You have brought some of the best folks to interview. I retire from the Air Force in a few years and would love to meet you at some point.
Amazing interview again Shawn. I will share this as much as I can. This needs to be seen! It is hard to see and hear what is really going on, however, thank you for what you do!
Shawn, your show is unlike any other show on RUclips. The heaviness, the wave of unknown reality you deliver is so eye opening and breath taking, and your guests have some of the most fascinating experiences and lives. Great work and respect ✊
Great show Shawn. Very informative. As a first responder for nearly 30 years I can tell you that we had very few drug over doses in Memphis, TN in the 90's compared to what was happening towards the end of my career. I know in just one month just before I retired we used a case of Narcan, 3 times on the same girl who OD'd 3 times that month. We noticed that it would come in waves. Some months we were really busy with over doses, then we would have a lull for maybe a month or two then it would ramp up again and we could tell there was a new batch in town. Keep up the great work.
Sean,it can’t be stressed enough how dangerous the thing you do is.Bringing the the things you bring to light many people want to leave well in the dark!I don’t know if people really realize that but I want you to know that I do.Thank you brother.I have never been in the service but I do serve my country and I would die if necessary to keep our way of life.With that said Luis,everything I just said to Sean certainly applies to you.This cannot be understated.Thank you for your unique way of battling one of the most pressing enemies to our country!Luis you are a great American and a true patriot!We need more fearlessness from our citizens and less cowardice out of our “elected” officials.Both of you stay vigilant and safe.God bless both you and your families!
I’m very grateful to my Dad for bringing me to USA too, I came to this Country to work because in Mexico we don’t have the opportunities we have here. Now USA is home for me and my Family, we are grateful and blessed.
Just sad but also good for you because your talent is definitely showing that in the end your news is better than most mainstream media. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep it going can’t wait for the future vids.
This podcast is like watching a therapist discussing issues with his patient.Narcos have the ability to find you and kill you if they find you disrespectful in anyway. Cheers to Luis for discussing the Narco issues in such a sober but respectful manner. Great interview.
Another out freaking standing interview, Shawn. The hard truth but we need to be informed in order to truly see what we are facing and how to deal with it. Keep up the excellence! It is much appreciated and riveting as always.
Great interview. Thank you Luis. Keep up the great work & please be careful. You seem honest & trustworthy & an all around great guy. Stay true to yourself & you can't go wrong. Vigilance Elite always interviews the Tip of the spear quality people & without Shawn creating a work of art & the best site in this field. His experience & expertise on all of these topics.. allows him to walk the line & get deeper than anyone else into specifics on certain topics without giving anything too important away. It also gives him the knowledge of what important topics & questions to pursue (unlike the lying/dying US media).. what flavor ice cream is that Joe? SMMFH! Thank you Vigilance Elite & all of your very special guests. These real situations & acts of valor would never have be told & would have be lost forever. Everyone should watch all of these interviews & take notes on how it is truely supposed to be done. Thank you Shawn.. you definitely hit a home run!
Shawn, you bring on outstanding guests which is why I watch your show. However, I also want to mention that you put it together in an excellent format. Keep up the good work.
It’s amazing to me how skilled an interviewer you are with no formal training. It’s a natural talent for openness and intelligent curiosity. You’re like the Joe Rogan is serious issues. I hope your channel gets as big as his because everyone needs to see what you are putting out.
This is an amazing and very accurate interview. I grew up near Calexico and this is the way things work at the border. It's been years since I lived there but nothing has changed its just evolved. Thank you so much Shawn.
Dude I’m actually laughing out loud at how insane it is that this stuff is happening on a podcast I mean these are probably very similar to conversations taking place at the DEA or black sites and under vastly different circumstances. Insane stuff. Subscribed.
Thanks for putting in the time to host the best most informative podcast; I have no need to even watch news from any mainstream network. He provides very accurate and pertinent news about the US and the world. I greatly appreciate the transparency the show brings. Shawn's own background along with his solid list of guests definitely help me get through some dark periods; for that I am very grateful. If you're in the service or a police officer the Shawn Ryan show is must have, keep up the hard work! 👊🏼
Anyone remember when m30's were just 30mg of oxycodone? As a recovering addict I sure as hell do. People are absolutely insane F'ing with fentanyl, I was still using when it was first being mixed into regular dope bags with the heroin and I would OD constantly. Its actually what led me to quit so dramatically. Also your saying they are making something stronger than fentanyl? My question would be why? Anything stronger will just kill any customers that use it, unless they just want to create a damn bio-weapon to kill anyone who touches it. Theres really no other reason. Great show guys.
@@mr.zesozadfrack7790 I recently quit fentanyl. 2-3 years ago when I first started using heroin I never saw a single blue and nobody I bought from was selling them. I got clean for two years and when I relapsed 8 months ago I couldn’t find heroin anywhere, literally all I could find were the blue fent pills. The blues are pretty dang cheap if you have a good plug so I would smoke em non stop to the point where I wasn’t even catching a buzz. Instead of cutting my loses and accepting the fact that staying high 24/7 is an impossibility I decided the real problem was that the blues were not strong enough. This lead me to seek out something stronger so I started using straight fent powder which got me high again for a couple days but inevitably my tolerance caught up to me and I was back where I started. I wasn’t willing to give up that easy though so I started shooting the powder right into the old veins and even that wouldn’t get me high. I would take shots large enough to kill at least 10 or more people and I used just over a gram a day and that’s just cause I couldn’t afford any more than that. I knew a girl who smoked 3 grams of fent powder a day. I realize the powder is cut but it’s still way stronger than the blues. Vaping nicotine actually hit me harder than smoking fentanyl by that point. My point is when you ask why would someone even want to make something stronger than fentanyl, the answer is people like myself who are always looking to recreate those sweet highs from our youths. I would have absolutely bought carfentanyl during those days had it been available and I can guarantee you I would not have overdosed. Also, this idea that drug users are unaware that they are buying fentanyl is completely untrue. Everyone I ever knew in that world would seek out the blues and everyone loved the guy who had fent powder. Most addicts are just looking for the best bang for their buck which is what makes fentanyl so attractive to us.
@@mr.zesozadfrack7790 it’s cheaper to produce, cheaper to transport, and cheaper for the customer. If the cartels start using carfent to make the blues instead of fent they would just use less of it and put more fillers in the pill so it would end up being the exact same strength per pill and they would make sure of this because you are right, they actually don’t want their customers to die. The blues are already cut to shit for this very reason and so is the powder.
You starting to get it?China’s involved,what more proof is needed.These cartels need to be put out of business for US security,but you won’t see that on CNN or hear it from the White House or 99.9% of our “elected”officials!!!Makes me wonder,how bout you?
Some of the best content I have come across in quite some time! Thank you for being true patriot and creating a platform for the men and women with some awesome and thought provoking voices.
I’ve seen content where rival cartel operatives have been captured and tortured. Dismembered alive, hearts cut out, machettied, etc. it still goes on. Great interview!!! The insight this journalist exposes is amazing!!! Keep it up Sean!!!!
I got addicted after I had some knee problems and doctors kept giving me stronger and stronger pain killers than all of a sudden stopped after years of giving them to me so I turned to the street and eventually built up to heroin and I can clearly remember the day when it was all of a sudden stronger, this whole time I was an addict I was working 2 jobs one being a paramedic. Finally I had enough and got in a program and luckily I've been clean almost 7 years, I know if I didn't get pushed into getting clean I would absolutely be dead by now. Thank you Shawn for trying to bring this information to people, it's time get our head out of the sand as a nation and do something about these problems before we are sunk for good
Bro. That’s almost word for word what I tell people. “Doctors kept giving me stronger and stronger painkillers then all of the sudden stopped so I turned to the street.” That’s how over half of heroin addicts start.
@@jeffpraterJSF so true, it's a horrible epidemic, it was weird being a paramedic stopping ODs but then using myself and ODing myself many times. It always starts as you take them because you need them and then you you end up needing them so you take them and always having to get stronger and stronger doses just to feel normal. Absolutely horrible feeling.
@@Mreevesxd Fr bro I got 600 days clean tomorrow. It’s so much better to not be stuck in that cycle of wanting to quit but getting too sick after a day and a half then you just go cop
@@jeffpraterJSF hell yea I'm proud of you bro 600 days is a big deal. After almost 7 years I still have days where I am craving it so bad just cause it does make you feel good but I always try to remember all the horrible times of being sick, not being able to score, and not to mention all the money I was spending every few days. It's absolutely a freeing feeling once you get past that initial few weeks and get that monster off your back. Hopefully more people can be pulled away from that monster and realize life is better without it. Keep up the good work, stay strong, and I'll have you in my prayers.
@@Mreevesxd i am a paramedic also. damn bro i know you had to of carried a narc box with like morphine/fentanyl and Benzos. u sure thats not where u got hooked?
10 years in recovery. Overcame 4 gunshot wounds Including a. 44 to the face. Became a father. Business owner. And so much more. I love this channel. This country needs a dose of reality so we can start rising as a people. I'd love to learn from someone like Shawn. My channel isn't big yet but it's directed at mental illness Physical fitness relationships and recovery. Thank you for your work brother.
That new synthetic opioid he mentioned is called nitazene. And he's right, stronger than fentanyl by about 20x and not much mention of it in the news whatsoever.
They are novel synthetic opioids that are structurally close to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. The news is labeling them as “Frankenstein drugs” because they were First synthesized in the 50s and Chemists put them away because they were way too unpredictable and caused a lot of respiratory depression and or death within a short amount of time. They were basically shelved.
I've watched many of your videos and alot of them with Dr Greer, and the former military guys youve had on,your content is very educational and I've learned quite a bit because of you. Keep it up Shawn
Luis made a great point. Shawn your not tied to any networks. We learn from your show. The knowledge is in the power. With knowledge you can better protect yourself. You don’t get truth from media. When your spending so much time figuring out … who’s being being honest: your not making preparations | your not able to protect yourself. I know many people pass judgement. We want to judge the news as truth. We’ve always assumed the news was reputable. Well… we all know the old adage about assuming. People know it’s wrong passing judgment on someone they don’t know. Because you’ll screw up every time. You can’t judge a book by the cover. 🗝 🇺🇸 USA is in for a world of hurt… until they 🇨🇳realize🇨🇳 they must approach news stations the same way. The tried and true work in private lives. Unfortunately we need to use the same principles for the outside world. I always know I receive honesty from you. It is a comfort. Thx Shawn
Amazing stuff I've watch a few shows keep up the great work you're putting out ,you deserve all the rewards life has to give you from Ireland 🇮🇪 thank you
Excellent content as always. The fentanyl pandemic is real. Having suffered from a fractured spine a few years back and prescribed fentanyl transdermal patches to deal with the pain was a horrible decision by my doctor. Coming off the drug was a an experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone! 75mcg dosage per hour was insane. Withdrawal was horrible. All is good now, thank God. Thank you Shawn for your content and bringing truth to the masses. Keep up the great work!
I’m sure it’s different for different people. I have neuropathy. I’ve been on the 75 patches for many years. I’ve tapered back to 50 in the past few months.
You WERENT GETTING 75mcg ( 150 mg of morphine over 72hrs)an hr MAYBE every 72 hrs tell the truth dude 75mcg divided over the 3 DAYS is 24mcg/ per day equ. To 50mg of morphine per 24 hrs so divide tht into doses thts 25mg EVERY 12 HRS morphine is usually every 8hrs or 12hrs so if given every 8hrs thts 15mg total for 24hrs STANDERD SURGICAL dose after say a shoulder revision SO TELL THE ACTUAL TRUTH
@@jimmock1155how are you getting 50mcg FOR NEUROPATHY why arent you taking an adj. Therapy to reduce your fenty usage i have neuropathy from chemo and the only reason i get is because i have a spinal cord injury but i have to use adj. Therapy too gaba/ elavil/ mobic you better reduce your dose because if you have an EMERGENCY/ surgery you wont get pain therapy trust me ( im a nurse also so im not talking out my neck)
I’m glad Luis is the first guest of this podcast to return for a second episode because although I’ve only seen about 10 of these podcasts, his was one of the episodes and was my favorite. He reminds me of epic Ed Calderon podcasts, and hope his reach grows 100 fold! Great podcast! Keep it up, both you brothas! 😎
I’m always blown away by the in-depth interviews & discussions on your podcast. I’m over the Criminal Justice & Sociology programs at the college I’m employed. I use exerts from your podcasts often (always giving credit). Turned several students on to you. Keep it up. Stay safe.
Im currently in a 28 day treatment in Minnesota at hazelden Betty Ford for opiate addiction that i have from a hockey injury when I was a young man.

If that’s what’s finally caught your eye with “something being wrong with mainstream media” then you need to continue to wake up.
Mainstream media isn't worried about the truth, the mainstream media is only worried about getting people to "tune in"
Hear, Hear!
Definitely agree!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man I really hope all of this info has a purpose. Im happy to share stories and hope someone finds it useful. Thanks for having me a second time 🤘🏼
This is great education on the topic, and I pray it helps raise more awareness to this crisis sweeping our country. It’s not creeping, but swiftly leaping into small towns all over. Never has an episode been more timely to me. Thank you💙
It was great man,hope to see you a third time!
It has a big purpose brother. Phenomenal information. I can't wait until next time!
You just be careful, hermano! I have a feeling cartels are like vipers: biters by nature. Plus, I know journalists can easily be targeted, especially if a rival sees you as an enemy's asset.
@Luis Chaparro it absolutely has purpose! The information you shared is top notch, and I do know first hand that the Imported fentanyl is rampant in the streets all around the country. I have seen the transition from heroin, to fentanyl laced heroin, to straight fentanyl and even batches of carfentanyl that smoked a lot of people immediately.
If we didn't have narcan so readily available, the death count by overdose would be well over triple the amount per year.
Unfortunately, addicts already know the risks involved, and so old habits die hard. Literally.
But if we can reach the masses to steer kids, and young adults clear before it's too late...we need to do that! Opiates of any sort are no joke at all. It all starts with that one pill, and if you're not informed you will get lost in it.
I've been there, done that. Pre 2011 military used to hand painkillers out like candy. Even after I ets'd I was on painkillers. One day they shut the opiate painkillers down like flipping a switch. I turned to the street. In short..... It was a long, painful road to get sober many years later. I lost a lot, learned a lot, and unfortunately A lot of people around me died.
Sorry man, got long winded there. 6 years clean though, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm still an addict and Always will be. But clean and grateful!
You're definitely one of my favorites on the Shawn Ryan Show. Glad to see you on again!
You're doing God's work as far as I'm concerned. Keep up the great work Luis!!!
God bless!
I hope you actually read comments so I can say Thank You. I am a cancer patient and a Navy Vet. On "bad days" just closing my eyes and listening to true interesting content makes the time pass just a little easier.
How you holding up man
@ still fighting, chemo starts again next month. Thanks for asking.
🙏🙏🙏
I said a healing prayer for you this morning. A scripture came to mind. A verse that has help through my own struggles;
Psalms 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
@ Tina THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I was addicted to heroin for 13 years, went homeless for the last year of using and finally ended up in jail where I was able to clean up for the six months I was in. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and lost about 70% of my friends throughout the whole time. Thank you for giving this topic the exposure that you did.
Hope life is going good for you man..
Praise God your on this side of that... thank you for ur testimony and keep on LIVING!!!! God is better than Good he's the GREATEST!!!!!
@@olsparkywisenheimer8239 Oh 1000 times better. Thanks for the love!
Keep on keeping on my friend I'm 31 got addicted when I was 19 only been clean for 3 months now.. it rough but I'd rather deal with anything else than go back to that lifestyle congratulations my friend just wanted to comment and let you know that I'm right here with you
God bless you and keep you Iron lung! Praying for you!
“Should we call the embassy?” For some reason, that made me crack up so much hahaha. Glad Sean and Luis both laughed too. Like they said… what the hell is the embassy going to do?!?!
Same I was laughing out loud 😅
You're the first person that I've heard say that about China, creating the fentanyl epidemic in the US to help them achieve becoming a superpower. I've been saying that for years!
I'm let down that our government seems to be letting it happen without notice.
Great job Sir!
Its not just China. Someone has to make the order and get it to America. Then from there, out.
@@LuminaryCursoremcould be from there still. Not like they don’t have people on the inside
Tucker had been taking about China doing this for years
The problem is the Government knows. They just act dumb.
I said that too. Mexico thinks China is helping them out. It will make things worse
Shawn, no bullshit you’re SERIOUSLY one of, if not THE BEST interviewer that’s currently out their right now!!!! All of the people you bring on your show to interview tell their life stories raw and uncut!! And you ALWAYS make it all about THEM! That’s what I like most about you! Even with all of your personal experience with the teams or contracting overseas with the CIA. You don’t gloat or take over the interview with a bunch of stories about what YOU have done, or try to compare stories. You let the interview flow naturally and I think that’s what at makes it PERFECT!! You know when to interject and it’s always at the perfect time and keeps it going! You Sir, need to be on a major network with an even bigger platform. I feel like the vast majority of Americans can relate to you, respect the HELL out of you and understand where you’re coming from. You’re putting information out there that NONE of the major media networks have put out!! As a Law Enforcement Officer myself, I learned quite a bit after listening to this. Information I had not heard of and will absolutely be useful down the road. I always walk away after watching your interviews having learned something new. And you continue to out do yourself with each new interview! I’m looking forward to the next one!! Keep up the good work!! @vigilanceElite.
This really means a lot to me man. Thank you 🙏🏻
And be safe brother.
Lol his first thing he said was people make 1000 pesos a month which is 500 dollars. Look at the exchange rate I live here. 10k is 500. Not only that MIN WAGE in mexico is 8000 a month which is about 400 dollars . Fake

The 1st generation American immigrant talk really hit home with me. The 1st love of my life was a 1st generation American. Parents immigrated from Mexico just prior to her birth. They created a business that became very successful. Their daughter took over that business and is now greatly successful. She started working at job sites when we were dating. She told me about the struggles of being a woman on those sites. Those memories of listening to her parents story always struck me as the epitome of the American dream. I was always truly in awe of them. Currently, one of my coworkers is a 1st generation American and is obsessed with TIk Tok and social media in general. He is one of the laziest people I have ever worked with. Yet is constantly telling me how he hasn't been promoted because he is Mexican. I salute and will admire the real ones. Any individual that wants better, works harder, even if the outcome isn't the same. I am a co worker to that guy because of covid. Yet my 1st love and her family are still prospering.
Work is (or was) available everywhere. No excuse!
How that guy works is none if your business ...
Is China a code word for Zionist Israel eh ?
“I salute and admire the real ones.”
Well said
“1st generation American” hit me. Never looked at it like that until now
Goes without saying, you're a true American! After all your service, you continue to educate and inform the public. Thank you.
There once was a time when the media would report on information like this.
Now it's down to brave individuals like you Shawn and your guests to inform the public.
Great content; a riveting watch.
Best wishes from 🇬🇧
Thank you James.
im from mexico but this is some bullshit
that guy didn't say anything new, he visited mexico for a day and hanged out with the cartel's top head?
thats the equivalent of me saying I went to England for a day and met the queen.
thats american propaganda for you, literally every american documentary CLAIMS they have information NEVER seen before, then they make up a scene with paid actors and say "we captured this rare footage" lol.
They would rather report on what Kim Kardashian or some idiot on TMZ is doing.
Well said!
@@jamesgunnyreed Agree 👍
Hands down the most entertaining show on RUclips - amazing
LOL I love when he starts talking about the training camp and the tactical aspects Shawn is all of a sudden it seems ten times more interested and firing questions. Military man at heart !
When talking about the cartels eating the enemies heart you could see in Shawn’s eyes remembering some horrific stuff. Thank you for all the things you do with these videos.
You dont eat your enemies hearts?
Potatoe
Saw that as well. Brought back some memories too. Semper Fi!
Yeah that video is brutal. One of the worst videos I've ever seen.
time stamp?
My kids just lost their dad (my ex husband) on March 27th from an overdose: fentanyl laced heroin. No more second chances for him. No second chances for my kids to have him. He deserved a life, and in an instant it was over. I cried a lot during this episode, but I couldn’t stop watching either. This is the whispered epidemic in America that we need to start screaming about.
It feels wrong to “like” this comment, but just showing support for your kids and you, even though he was your ex you always care about the father of your children.
There is no reason for all this death. The Government gave Morphine to the Soldiers addicted in WWI. There is no reason they couldn’t provide a safe product with counselling.
I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
Your kids are lucky to have a momma with a head on her shoulders. I’m assuming you are taking good care of them and you should know there are lots of other great people out there like you, that have lost loved ones to this problem just like you. I recommend reaching out to these groups and really reinforcing their purpose which is to spread awareness and help each other out of this terrible scourge. Stay strong. He was sick and the disease got the best of him.
May the lord comfort u my sister 😥❤️
This show only gets better. Ive seen every interview since branching into this channel and have been watching Vigilance Elite content for years. I wasn't former military but I felt the instructional tactics/shooting videos back then we're the best on RUclips so it doesn't surprise me the high level of content Shawn continues to put out in these extremely informative interviews. Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks!
I hope you enjoyed the segment! Thanks for supporting the show my friend!
Shawn Ryan is a man among men. These are some of the greatest interviews/guests ever. I work on a pineapple farm in Hawaii and I listen to as many podcasts as possible while working in the field. Thank you Shawn for making my life more interesting, and gaining knowledge every day. Love you brother🤙🏼 aloha from Hawaii

Contare Shawn. I'm 81 years old & i haven't listened to MSM for years. Finally canceled my cable altogether. Wasn't using it anyway. I'm happy i found your podcast!
I am absolutely addicted to it!! I learn a lot & love how so many of the Vets share how they have found God & how you support our wounded warriors mentally. Also, great information like this podcast.
Shawn first off thank you, thank you for giving you’re everything to defend those around the world who were unable to defend themselves. Thank you for bringing us the real raw truth. Thank you for the way in which you conduct you’re self on the show, so often when people talk about addiction they take the cheap way out and show the crazy cracked out homeless person screaming at no one in the street half naked, this may be a great way to entertain people but it in no way is indicative of the average American who has a job a family a home friends bills a normal life but also happens to be addicted I have been an addict for 26 years and you would never know I have a job a Harley a wife a house friends but I also have a ton of pain, pain from being abused as a kid hiding that pain with drugs which only brings more pain which I try to hide with more drugs and it just keeps going. I put myself through the ringer way more then anyone else could. People’s comments and harsh words do nothing but tear down people who are already struggling. And you don’t do that you tell the story you keep it real and raw and you don’t stack people and talk shit about what people are going through thank you my man
Thanks
You're welcome!
Really amazing interview it’s!! It’s crazy how they trust him enough to show him what they want him to see. I just hope he’s careful and man I don’t know you know they could change at any time. I hope he’s careful and knows what he’s doing seems like a great guy but he’s really putting his life on the line by doing this this is better than any other news channel in the world. What a great interview thanks for this Shawn Ryan!!!

Another absolute zinger!! You are an asset to us when it comes to real stories/news Shawn! I’m sharing all of these with my friends and family. Road to 1 million subs!
I haven't watched TV for many years now, but I absolutely seek out worthwhile podcasts, and this one is my favorite along with Andy Frisella. Harsh truths, harsh realities, presented in an exquisite tatsteful manor, but also unfiltered and tainted by mainstream narrative. I appreciate all that you do!!
This channel is something different. It's very real, and intense. These interviews make my palms sweat, and my mouth dry like I am getting ready for a fight. It is amazing to me that such things can be experienced from watching a video. I watch them all, Shawn, and I have been for a while. I never comment, because my opinions are just that, but I think you are doing a great thing for humanity. Many years from now others will learn from this channel, and gain knowledge about our human behavior, and out psychological makeup. This man you are interviewing. I just wonder about his safety, and if he is concerned that sooner or later one of his contacts finds some small reason not to trust him, and then what? I hope that never happens, but I cannot help but think about that. Thank you for this channel. I has helped me in some of the darkest times in my life, and I know it will help many others. I love your work, man I hope you can believe the sincerity in that.
It's a good conversation but bro, cringe.

You are one of the best (if not the best) in the content of your show. I am a Viet Nam vet ( yeh I am and old dude) and love sharing your shows with family and friends.
Love the show. The first interview you had with Luis was excellent and this one was great as well. I definitely would like to see more of this type of content so please keep it coming.
Awesome show Shawn! I could definitely feel the slight unease when Luis started talked about how they do investigations. Made me feel tension too, but that is what makes this all so great! I appreciate you, Keep it coming!
Thank you Luis for all the information and knowledge you share with all of us. I really appreciate it and enjoy watching your interviews with Shawn. Thank you Shawn, for bringing back Luis and all the great video’s you do. I know this is a old video, I’m binge watching all your video’s.
Shawn you have the best content, hands down, over anyone else! I’m captivated the entire time. It sucks for me when I have to stop in the middle, even though I’m just gonna finish it later! Keep up the great work!!
The best channel on RUclips, thanks so much for all the awesome content
Wow, thanks!
Fact
It’s inspiring to see how far you’ve come along in the past year in terms of manifesting your goals, Shawn.
Yup, former opiate addict here for almost a decade from the herniated discs I developed flying the F-18 and the loss associated with having to stop flying and leave the Navy. Never came across fentanyl thank god, but the struggle is still the same.
Glad you made it out brother
This is extremely eye opening! I’ve only ever heard the cartel spoken or represented in the context of…you’re almost certainly gonna die a gruesome death. It wasn’t until the show Ozark that even mentioned cartel trusting anyone. So, to hear him talk about cartel trusting him to talk to you about them is fascinating! And to remind us why so many people are illegally immigrating to the US because they don’t have ANY hope in Mexico….amazing.
Love it Shawn! You have brought some of the best folks to interview. I retire from the Air Force in a few years and would love to meet you at some point.
Extremely and I appreciate it.
Thanks for all the hard work putting these awesome videos together!
Shawn, you are just stepping up and hitting dingers every time. The hero we need at the moment. Thank you.
Amazing interview again Shawn. I will share this as much as I can. This needs to be seen! It is hard to see and hear what is really going on, however, thank you for what you do!
Thank you Shawn for all you do and for your previous service 🙏
This information is so important for people to understand. I am sharing this and want to thank you for your work.
Shawn, your show is unlike any other show on RUclips. The heaviness, the wave of unknown reality you deliver is so eye opening and breath taking, and your guests have some of the most fascinating experiences and lives. Great work and respect ✊
Awesome discussion. Shawn you are doing an AMAZING job w/this channel. Keep up the good work!
Did you just hit a mil man? I swear when I just subscribed it went to 1M.
Great show Shawn. Very informative. As a first responder for nearly 30 years I can tell you that we had very few drug over doses in Memphis, TN in the 90's compared to what was happening towards the end of my career. I know in just one month just before I retired we used a case of Narcan, 3 times on the same girl who OD'd 3 times that month. We noticed that it would come in waves. Some months we were really busy with over doses, then we would have a lull for maybe a month or two then it would ramp up again and we could tell there was a new batch in town. Keep up the great work.
Sean,it can’t be stressed enough how dangerous the thing you do is.Bringing the the things you bring to light many people want to leave well in the dark!I don’t know if people really realize that but I want you to know that I do.Thank you brother.I have never been in the service but I do serve my country and I would die if necessary to keep our way of life.With that said Luis,everything I just said to Sean certainly applies to you.This cannot be understated.Thank you for your unique way of battling one of the most pressing enemies to our country!Luis you are a great American and a true patriot!We need more fearlessness from our citizens and less cowardice out of our “elected” officials.Both of you stay vigilant and safe.God bless both you and your families!
This was the craziest, most interesting interview I've ever heard. I'm super thankful for what you're bringing too the world! Thanks Shawn
I’m very grateful to my Dad for bringing me to USA too, I came to this Country to work because in Mexico we don’t have the opportunities we have here. Now USA is home for me and my Family, we are grateful and blessed.
Keep up this information. Everyone needs to hear this stuff!
Just sad but also good for you because your talent is definitely showing that in the end your news is better than most mainstream media. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep it going can’t wait for the future vids.
Idk how these interviews aren’t blowing up!!! tbh listening to the team guys has motivated me to re-enlist and try for group.
Another great show. Love the fact that you are diving into news type topics and shedding light to something's that are normally in the dark.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to this episode and how it might apply to us here in Arizona being so close to the boarder.
This podcast is like watching a therapist discussing issues with his patient.Narcos have the ability to find you and kill you if they find you disrespectful in anyway. Cheers to Luis for discussing the Narco issues in such a sober but respectful manner. Great interview.
Oh Snap!! this is the first time I've seen your son. God bless you. I'm trying to catch up on almost three years of episodes as fast as I can.
I watched the live the other day and your editing guy nailed the intro. Love the informative info. Keep up the great work
Another out freaking standing interview, Shawn. The hard truth but we need to be informed in order to truly see what we are facing and how to deal with it. Keep up the excellence! It is much appreciated and riveting as always.
Great interview. Thank you Luis. Keep up the great work & please be careful. You seem honest & trustworthy & an all around great guy. Stay true to yourself & you can't go wrong. Vigilance Elite always interviews the Tip of the spear quality people & without Shawn creating a work of art & the best site in this field. His experience & expertise on all of these topics.. allows him to walk the line & get deeper than anyone else into specifics on certain topics without giving anything too important away. It also gives him the knowledge of what important topics & questions to pursue (unlike the lying/dying US media).. what flavor ice cream is that Joe? SMMFH! Thank you Vigilance Elite & all of your very special guests. These real situations & acts of valor would never have be told & would have be lost forever. Everyone should watch all of these interviews & take notes on how it is truely supposed to be done. Thank you Shawn.. you definitely hit a home run!
Love your clips/episodes! 👍🏽
Shawn, you bring on outstanding guests which is why I watch your show. However, I also want to mention that you put it together in an excellent format. Keep up the good work.

Dude I’m actually laughing out loud at how insane it is that this stuff is happening on a podcast I mean these are probably very similar to conversations taking place at the DEA or black sites and under vastly different circumstances. Insane stuff. Subscribed.

Thanks for putting in the time to host the best most informative podcast; I have no need to even watch news from any mainstream network. He provides very accurate and pertinent news about the US and the world.
I greatly appreciate the transparency the show brings. Shawn's own background along with his solid list of guests definitely help me get through some dark periods; for that I am very grateful. If you're in the service or a police officer the Shawn Ryan show is must have, keep up the hard work! 👊🏼
Anyone remember when m30's were just 30mg of oxycodone? As a recovering addict I sure as hell do. People are absolutely insane F'ing with fentanyl, I was still using when it was first being mixed into regular dope bags with the heroin and I would OD constantly. Its actually what led me to quit so dramatically. Also your saying they are making something stronger than fentanyl? My question would be why? Anything stronger will just kill any customers that use it, unless they just want to create a damn bio-weapon to kill anyone who touches it. Theres really no other reason. Great show guys.
That's what I'm saying. Why do they want to kill off their customers? Makes no business sense at all
@@mr.zesozadfrack7790 I recently quit fentanyl. 2-3 years ago when I first started using heroin I never saw a single blue and nobody I bought from was selling them. I got clean for two years and when I relapsed 8 months ago I couldn’t find heroin anywhere, literally all I could find were the blue fent pills. The blues are pretty dang cheap if you have a good plug so I would smoke em non stop to the point where I wasn’t even catching a buzz. Instead of cutting my loses and accepting the fact that staying high 24/7 is an impossibility I decided the real problem was that the blues were not strong enough. This lead me to seek out something stronger so I started using straight fent powder which got me high again for a couple days but inevitably my tolerance caught up to me and I was back where I started. I wasn’t willing to give up that easy though so I started shooting the powder right into the old veins and even that wouldn’t get me high. I would take shots large enough to kill at least 10 or more people and I used just over a gram a day and that’s just cause I couldn’t afford any more than that. I knew a girl who smoked 3 grams of fent powder a day. I realize the powder is cut but it’s still way stronger than the blues. Vaping nicotine actually hit me harder than smoking fentanyl by that point. My point is when you ask why would someone even want to make something stronger than fentanyl, the answer is people like myself who are always looking to recreate those sweet highs from our youths. I would have absolutely bought carfentanyl during those days had it been available and I can guarantee you I would not have overdosed. Also, this idea that drug users are unaware that they are buying fentanyl is completely untrue. Everyone I ever knew in that world would seek out the blues and everyone loved the guy who had fent powder. Most addicts are just looking for the best bang for their buck which is what makes fentanyl so attractive to us.
@@mr.zesozadfrack7790 it’s cheaper to produce, cheaper to transport, and cheaper for the customer. If the cartels start using carfent to make the blues instead of fent they would just use less of it and put more fillers in the pill so it would end up being the exact same strength per pill and they would make sure of this because you are right, they actually don’t want their customers to die. The blues are already cut to shit for this very reason and so is the powder.
Yeah exactly stronger then fentanyl serves no purpose ,you need recurring customers
You starting to get it?China’s involved,what more proof is needed.These cartels need to be put out of business for US security,but you won’t see that on CNN or hear it from the White House or 99.9% of our “elected”officials!!!Makes me wonder,how bout you?
Some of the best content I have come across in quite some time! Thank you for being true patriot and creating a platform for the men and women with some awesome and thought provoking voices.
Shawn, this is one of the best shows out there sir! Thank you for your service and God bless you and your family!
I’ve seen content where rival cartel operatives have been captured and tortured. Dismembered alive, hearts cut out, machettied, etc. it still goes on. Great interview!!! The insight this journalist exposes is amazing!!! Keep it up Sean!!!!
It's WAY worse than that
How a bout skinning their faces and wearing them. Blog del narco.
I got addicted after I had some knee problems and doctors kept giving me stronger and stronger pain killers than all of a sudden stopped after years of giving them to me so I turned to the street and eventually built up to heroin and I can clearly remember the day when it was all of a sudden stronger, this whole time I was an addict I was working 2 jobs one being a paramedic. Finally I had enough and got in a program and luckily I've been clean almost 7 years, I know if I didn't get pushed into getting clean I would absolutely be dead by now.
Thank you Shawn for trying to bring this information to people, it's time get our head out of the sand as a nation and do something about these problems before we are sunk for good
Bro. That’s almost word for word what I tell people. “Doctors kept giving me stronger and stronger painkillers then all of the sudden stopped so I turned to the street.” That’s how over half of heroin addicts start.
@@jeffpraterJSF so true, it's a horrible epidemic, it was weird being a paramedic stopping ODs but then using myself and ODing myself many times. It always starts as you take them because you need them and then you you end up needing them so you take them and always having to get stronger and stronger doses just to feel normal. Absolutely horrible feeling.
@@Mreevesxd Fr bro I got 600 days clean tomorrow. It’s so much better to not be stuck in that cycle of wanting to quit but getting too sick after a day and a half then you just go cop
@@jeffpraterJSF hell yea I'm proud of you bro 600 days is a big deal. After almost 7 years I still have days where I am craving it so bad just cause it does make you feel good but I always try to remember all the horrible times of being sick, not being able to score, and not to mention all the money I was spending every few days. It's absolutely a freeing feeling once you get past that initial few weeks and get that monster off your back. Hopefully more people can be pulled away from that monster and realize life is better without it. Keep up the good work, stay strong, and I'll have you in my prayers.

That new synthetic opioid he mentioned is called nitazene. And he's right, stronger than fentanyl by about 20x and not much mention of it in the news whatsoever.
They are novel synthetic opioids that are structurally close to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. The news is labeling them as “Frankenstein drugs” because they were First synthesized in the 50s and Chemists put them away because they were way too unpredictable and caused a lot of respiratory depression and or death within a short amount of time. They were basically shelved.
Crazy!
Wth that's crazy smh
WHY WOULD SOMEONE EVEN CREATE IT?
Besides law bypasses, it's soon to be outlawed.
Looking good Ryan, and thanks for getting us this kind of information! 🤙🏽
Wow what a humbling episode
Thank you both for opening my eyes a little but more.
These cartel and narco episodes are fascinating! Keep it up.
The fact you had Luis on your podcast earned my subscription! Awesome interview!
Interesting episode, thanks to Luis and you Shawn for bringing these informative interviews and stories to us!👍🇺🇸
Our pleasure!
Un Frigging Believable!! Outstanding interview, Mr. Ryan
I've watched many of your videos and alot of them with Dr Greer, and the former military guys youve had on,your content is very educational and I've learned quite a bit because of you. Keep it up Shawn
Thank you for your continued service to our country!
Luis made a great point. Shawn your not tied to any networks. We learn from your show. The knowledge is in the power. With knowledge you can better protect yourself. You don’t get truth from media. When your spending so much time figuring out … who’s being being honest:
your not making preparations | your not able to protect yourself. I know many people pass judgement. We want to judge the news as truth. We’ve always assumed the news was reputable. Well…
we all know the old adage about assuming. People know it’s wrong passing judgment on someone they don’t know. Because you’ll screw up every time. You can’t judge a book
by the cover. 🗝 🇺🇸 USA is in for a world of hurt… until they 🇨🇳realize🇨🇳
they must approach news stations
the same way. The tried and true
work in private lives. Unfortunately
we need to use the same principles
for the outside world. I always know
I receive honesty from you. It is a
comfort.
Thx Shawn
Best on the net Hands-down. Thank You Shawn
Amazing stuff I've watch a few shows keep up the great work you're putting out ,you deserve all the rewards life has to give you from Ireland 🇮🇪 thank you
Excellent content as always. The fentanyl pandemic is real. Having suffered from a fractured spine a few years back and prescribed fentanyl transdermal patches to deal with the pain was a horrible decision by my doctor. Coming off the drug was a an experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone! 75mcg dosage per hour was insane. Withdrawal was horrible. All is good now, thank God. Thank you Shawn for your content and bringing truth to the masses. Keep up the great work!
welcome to the american healthcare system which is driven by big pharma, any problem you're getting a pill
I’m sure it’s different for different people. I have neuropathy. I’ve been on the 75 patches for many years. I’ve tapered back to 50 in the past few months.
You WERENT GETTING 75mcg ( 150 mg of morphine over 72hrs)an hr MAYBE every 72 hrs tell the truth dude 75mcg divided over the 3 DAYS is 24mcg/ per day equ. To 50mg of morphine per 24 hrs so divide tht into doses thts 25mg EVERY 12 HRS morphine is usually every 8hrs or 12hrs so if given every 8hrs thts 15mg total for 24hrs STANDERD SURGICAL dose after say a shoulder revision SO TELL THE ACTUAL TRUTH
@@jimmock1155how are you getting 50mcg FOR NEUROPATHY why arent you taking an adj. Therapy to reduce your fenty usage i have neuropathy from chemo and the only reason i get is because i have a spinal cord injury but i have to use adj. Therapy too gaba/ elavil/ mobic you better reduce your dose because if you have an EMERGENCY/ surgery you wont get pain therapy trust me ( im a nurse also so im not talking out my neck)
Good stuff, Shawn. Keep the content coming. Cheers.
I just started to follow you your show and I love it🎉
Phenomenal content and show brother. Keep up the great shit
Phenomenal fentanyl
What up war dog, great channel as well.
Thank you Mike. See you soon!
These groups are terrorists
Mike Rutland another GREAT channel
I love what you bring us Luis, and I am very grateful for what you share. Be safe Brother.
I’m glad Luis is the first guest of this podcast to return for a second episode because although I’ve only seen about 10 of these podcasts, his was one of the episodes and was my favorite. He reminds me of epic Ed Calderon podcasts, and hope his reach grows 100 fold! Great podcast! Keep it up, both you brothas! 😎
Excited to hear this one
I’m always blown away by the in-depth interviews & discussions on your podcast. I’m over the Criminal Justice & Sociology programs at the college I’m employed. I use exerts from your podcasts often (always giving credit). Turned several students on to you. Keep it up. Stay safe.
Thank you 🙏🏻
