- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Mike Glover talks about what it was like making his way over to the CIA and contracting as a GRS operator and the transition from regular military. Mike explains how op tempo was different and being around some of the most professional shooters in the world from various special operations units such as Navy SEALS, SEAL Team 6, Delta Force, Green Berets, Rangers, CCTs, and PJs. Are there any others i'm missing? GRS operators bring a lot of experience to the table, and you can expect to have one of the most capable units in the world.

Raw and uncut. I really appreciate this channel. Thank you all for your service.
Bro operation northwoods is what bush and Cheney used to do 9/11 on us. Rumsfield stole 2.3 trillion from the Pentagon a day before 9/11 to start the war then hired robert Mueller sept 4th as fbi director to go after anyone not going with the narrative...and you your buddies all helped them, killed millions of innocent Iraqis...the cia is the world's terrorists...how do u and all these people sleep at night??? Rob u tim Kennedy all these people did genocide on the world so a few people in government can get rich....what about all those people and nyfd people dying so bush can make money through war.....it was all for money and the petro dollar.
Shawn Ryan is such a fantastic interviewer. He listens really well and lets the guests do the talking! He asks important questions when its appropriate. He never makes it about himself. Great job Shawn!!
Yes he really is!!!!
Love it when Mike and Shawn get together! Dream team material.
Probably wouldn't love it if you were a terrorist haha.
I really liked their zombie survival/apocalypse vid where they went and bought a bunch of survival stuff at Walmart. Wish they had more collaborations like that one.
@@AirAssault7 Facts. So much to learn just from watching these minds in action.
less bull because once you expose someone to a psychological concept like "the placebo effect" it no longer works on them, likewise with other psychologically manipulative concepts that certain ranks must know of. In other words, there is nothing to be learnt from or "utillized" at that point once they know. It's kinda like if everyone read that one book "how to win friends and influence people" if everyone reads it, they'll suspect you of just being a doosh or using manipulative techniques against them lol. Counter productive.
@@campsitez2355 Weaponized Autism?
Isn’t it awesome that Military guys can go through all this and the training that goes with it only to NOT be allowed to have a pistol brace on a civilian AR.
What's even better is to have a guy like Mike be placed on a domestic extremist list by the fabulous FBI.
@@TheObscuran anybody who is seen as patriotic and takes pride in their country gets put on that list
All that sacrifice to be not allowed to have a pistol brace on a sporting rifle.
Irrelevant
Just keep the damn thing on your gun. They won't be going door to door for those, or checking the legality of you having one on a range. And if you end up unfortunately having to use it in your house it will be the least of your worries. I'm more curious about what would be said in regards to a one piece extended buffer tube with a cheek rest built in. Because then, it's just your buffer tube.
Shawn is just an amazing counterpart in these kinds of interviews. The episode with DJ Shipley was mindblowing
Awesome right 🥸
D blowing
@@rve3716 that’s all you could come up with?😬🤫
@@Adubs917 says someone who didn't say shit and uses weak emojis
Damn dude hold that L
There are some guys I can listen to a lot and not get tired of......Mike and Shawn....your it !
This podcast is phenomenal. I listen to Jocko religiously because I'm a huge history and leadership nut, then I switch to this when I want detail and direct action truth. These men pour out their souls on here and their accomplishments and honesty leaves them amongst the highest calibre people alive on earth today in my opinion. Bravo.
I listen to Jaco as well- He doesn't seem as enthusiastic about his years with the agency- He doesn't seem completely remorseful either- I gather he feels he was a positive influence within a dark organization. This guy talks it up like it was the greatest experience ever.
I’ve watched the Air Marshals shoot, and they’re no joke. Some of the toughest standards on handguns and rifles.
Here in Fiji we don't have an elite force/special force unit.The only way is to join the British Army or migrate overseas and work your way if your goal is to join the Army/Navy. I'm grateful to listen to these men for telling us and educating us about their experiences. The only way to better ourselves is by throwing away the veil of indifference and seeking a higher purpose ,because then we become something else, WARRIORS. THANK YOU BOTH (PAST & FUTURE QUESTS)FOR BEING TRUE AND REAL AND BRINGING HONOR TO YOUR FAMILIES.
Mike Glover holds the record for saying "Special operations" in any 5 minute time frame
Take a shot every time he says "special operations"
See you under the table 😉
@@hondomclean6759 you’re gonna see me in that coffin lol
“When I was operating special operations in the commanders in-extremis force, I oversaw many special operations that special forces operated in”
He also insinuates things about his career that are simply not true. Matt Pranka. A former recon, navy dude has set the record straight. Glover isn’t all that he says he is. Same with Tu Lam. Tu lam was augmented to Delta, never went through otc. Bunch of people now days make their careers sound more high speed than they actually were.
@@JR-wo3sn Its the same everywhere mate. Most of the guys who show out and start talking are usually guys who didn't do much time in the units and were often seconded into the units. Plenty of the guys who are now coming out as UKSF were not badged. Yeah some are and there are a few seriously qualified guys out there but a lot of these guys simply uphold the tradition of QPros. However on the flip side there are people who have done some cool jobs in units that dont exist and simply cant say anything. FWIW.
Michael Spann's uncle was one of my 5th and 6th grade teachers. Small, but violent, world.
5th and 6th grade were that violent? Woah
That’s saying something when guys who have already gone through though screening, vetting and training in Spec Ops get to a new unit/job (“the Agency”) and are impressed by their shooting standards.
SRS #1 is where I discovered Mike Glover….best podcast going (shoutout to Ritland and Mike Drop!)
The stuff they did together before this was awesome.
I think I remember DJ Shipley talking about certain guys in tier one units being "quirky" just as Mike Glover did here. I'd love to hear what type of "quirky oddball weirdos" have made it to high-level special operations. To hear where the "oddball" guys are great at their job but all the other operators are looking at him and thinking "WTF?"
I'd also like to hear this this is such an interesting idea to me.
I think Rob ONeill has characterized himself to that effect.
Mike Glover isn't that guy
The occupation and time select out “normal”.
@@TKE644 I was just about to say I think rob O’Neil fits this perfectly lol he’s a down to earth funny ass dude that’s a straight killer when need be
Much love to both of you guys. I was combat wounded in Phantom Fury with 3/1. Went through a hall of a fit in that rehab process when I started reading things like Douglass Valentines CIA as organized crime and coming to the realization that the CIA actually works for corporations and the expansion of the AngloAmerican corporate empire. Its good to hear personal accounts like yours and my uncle who flew for Air America in the mid 60s. He said he (Tennessee accent) "we were running and doing all sorts of things, and not a bit of it did I agree with."
Yep they overthrew Ghadafi for SoS HillDog Clinton and now there are open slave markets to this day!
Go back to Horno
Thanks to both of you for all you've done and continue to do!
Good to know that the best shooters are operating inside a pressurized tube 30,000 feet in the air.
We are lucky to be in a time to hear the personal stories of first-hand encounters. Thank you beyond words.
0:12 " Mike Spann, prior Marine Officer, member of CIA para military, was the first casualty of the global war on terrorism...." I can totally agree and understand what this guys talking about cause I still remember where I was when I heard the news about Mike Spann, i remember where I was. I remember that day.
What's up Mike! ? You deserve that HK MP5 SD
Spent four years working as a GRS operator. Spent most my time at the flagpole in the secondary. Shawn will get my refrences.
Dang, 3 or 4 years down the road 💭 hmmm. I thought I
knew most everything about
you both. Wrong ! I didn’t know Mike worked for the CIA.
I didn’t know where you guy’s met. I always figured it was a war collaboration. Your both extremely humble gentlemen.
Not much for tooting your own
horns. Luv you both for that
quality. It’s an admirable characteristic. Still… I’m proud
you shared this. You both deserve the honor of all your accolades. Much luv for both
of you.
Sandy
My two favorite people on RUclips in one video, wow. love what you guys are doing in the community.
You two scare me,thank God you're on our side 🤘
Does Shawn have any thoughts on Maj Gen Smedley Butler and his book "War is a Racket"?
I want to see Shawn and Mike Ritland get added to Andy, Evan and Mike glovers podcast trio and listen to all of them so I can laugh my ass off.
This would be awesome to see
Almost too good for a podcast, we’re not worthy to hear that lol
Absolutely my two favorite people to listen to. 🇺🇸
And dj Shipley
Don’t forget D. J. Shipley, Erik Prince, Tu Lam, Bob “Ninja” Poras, and Eddie Penny.
While you guys were having fun in Yemen I was stuck aboard the USS Makin Island as part of the 11th MEU. We got stuck at sea because shit was going down and we were QRF. Fun times
People don't understand that alot of Military personnel once the get out want to go back in. Doesn't matter if we were SPECOPS or regular Military. We spent years training and fighting and wanted to do that again after we got out.
I was in Yemen for a couple months with USMC FAST co. We found out after we left that this one building we had to report activity on was a CIA . HQ. Wonder if we overlapped there.
One hell of a pair of humans right here!
Was a Green Beret for 9 years (18e), invited to Delta selection 7 times but only special projects once. Very selective.
I don’t think Delta invites someone 7 times man, not sure what you gain from this comment 😂
Especially within 9 years
@@user-ut6nj8ug2p Almost every year I was an operator. Don't believe me, don't care.
Maybe you don't get the idea of the invite. Invites are for selection. Nobody just walks on to a team.
I’ve watched the very few Delta clips available…starting a los ready qual before eyes in target is wild…I know some qualified are passed over for minor reasons that work out in the end.
But we are talking the hidden top 1%. There’s a reasons SEAL want to be Delta and no Delta wants to be a SEAL.
Well Delta is tier 1 and SEALs are tier 2. Seal team 6 is more comparable to Delta because they are also tier 1
Love Mike Glover, super intelligent guy, American Hero without a doubt. I don’t agree with his politics always, but he’s an amazing dude.
From Sentinel at Arlington to CIA. Impressive resume...
Your content with Mike glover and your Glock 43x reviews are my favorite content.
For someone that wants to work in GB I hear a lot of guys saying they would rather do GRS instead of the PMOO side
Maybe they mean the actual agency employee PMOO job. GB also is predominantly contractors who do the grunt work. I’ve heard that it is very Raider heavy these days and they love it over there.
PMOO brings you into more of the traditional intel stuff, different skill set for shooters.
@@bobbyh.4717 no GRS is contract heavy, GB are sworn in employees for the agency
@@grizzlyblue6389 correct, your deff not kicking in doors and direct action everyday… Way different job
@@Arbiter710 there are Ground Branch contractors sir. They are called Paramilitary Specialists. That is directly from Mick Mulroy (a Marine turned PMOO).
Awesome show! Keep up the good job!
Thank you!
Proud to be an American !!
✝️🇺🇸🦅✌🏻
Proud to lick the boot on your neck ? Sweet
Mike Spann was in my unit: 4th ANGLICO
Mr.speak very strongly and consciously about what it serves and what was very important.Mr.emphasize very strongly words that have very important value.I think the attitude is enviable
Great respect for Special Operations CIA 🇺🇸
Great respect for Veterans CIA 🇺🇸 and Family
BOWS 🕊️🤝
look .......... ok so Glover and Ryan are world class BAs ........... we appreciate you !!!
Is that a motorcycle engine behind him.. thats cool
Amazing Work Dude Keep it up!!!
Thanks for tuning in!
Agree with Mike. GRS has some the best combat shooters. The qualification course is legit. I knew if we had to get out of the car and go to guns, I would not be alone.
As a former cobra I can backup everything this man said.
These two are awesome together! ....would love to see a collab with these guys and the GBRS guys!
Mike Glover is an American hero!!!
FUCK......I can't THANK YOU guys enough for who you are! You are the BALLS of AMERICA and you guys make us feel proud to be Americans!! I'm 61 and I haven't felt the way I feel now after watching these videos in a long time!! Again... THANK YOU!! You guys are straight the real deal no fucken BULLSHIT! Im lookin to buying my first AR and watched one of your ar videos. Im going to be basing it on your likes and experiences! Keepin it clean with no BS eye candy gadgets. Use to hunt and be into shooting back in the day, many moons ago, and looking forward in gettin back into it.
“Operational relevance” would have been interesting to explore what that means - you were enacting military operations aligned to political objectives. Where does “relevance” take you in relation to those objectives. In short - how much do understand and agree with the reasons politicians point armed forces in specific directions.
These guys are at the top of a lot of lists, and
Unfortunately many will be picked up for strange and compromised positions if and when things are to go south in the near future. Unfortunately, also, a lot of guys will just put their heads down and not say peep being bought and paid for long before.
It's going to be a interesting future with a lot of noise and people eating the hot side of barrels, mysterious circumstances and all that.
I'm old, and living with a expiration date, just hope I'm either gone or can still get around if and when it happens.
We as a people are well and truly screwed...
mike glover is such a king
The "Quiet Professional" doesn't exist anymore.
Mike giving Shawn the warm and fuzzies ☺️🫶
Mike was the first interview i watched with Shawn on the S.R.S 👍
I would say the first operational casualty of the War on Terror occurred on 9/11/2001 aboard Flt 93 when the Militia launched a counter attack saving countless Americans lives.
I see you, Bong Revilla. The Philippine Panday.
People think that you guys like these don’t exist. That they’re only in movies. It’s not true I would be absolutely terrified if one of these offers came after me. if you ever worked alongside these guys, you’d feel like you were going in slow motion compared to them.
Great episode #1 and have only gotten better 👏 👍
Thanks for sticking around!! 👊🏼
Yep.T800Aust
It would be super interesting to hear from an air Marshall (retired) on your podcast
Yeah that was interesting he said they have one of the hardest quals, makes sense when I actually think about it though.
I never worked for but I worked with the CIA and each time was an experience. Never met a bad Station Chief…seemed like having a ‘cool confidence’ was a prerequisite to be one.
Quite unlike the National Cryptologic Representatives from my own agency. Incompetent A hole was their defining quality.
Needed to do a survey at FOB Shield near Sadr City which required a drive through Baghdad…got a ride with GRS and these were some intense dudes.
I’ll never forget when the lead badass showed me where my tourniquet was located and said, “If we get hit, stop your own bleeding”.
Still have a CIA Zippo I bought at the HQ and a patch given to me by the Mosul station chief.
Nice
When i furst heard of. Mike i was. Like. Who what. Til i met him and all Doubts. Vanished. Fast i knew from. Talking to him he was a. Warrior from. Jump. Street. Serious. About. Doing the. Right. Thing and. Smart. Bob13
Dang dumbass me thought it was a new episode! c'mon Shawn don't do us like that! 😂😂. But seriously though you should have Mike on again
Thank you both
"We're the best shooters in the world" *** avoids Ben Stoeger
I would think there is a difference between competition shooting and actual killing. Skills are one thing the job is another.
Think buck fever.
Then think who has the ability to pop a guy and move on like nothing happened.
@@oso9809 shooting is shooting. The context in which you apply those skills do vary however.
@@moostangvert exactly
Congrats on 1M subs. Been following you since the beginning in Florida and it's great to see your growth. ✌️
This dude is incredible!
Why hasn't the revolver ever found it's place in operations? Do such operators have the choice to carry additional weapons of their liking?
Often wonder if the snubby S&W 500 mag in capable hands could be useful. Weighing just over 50 oz and can literally fit in a large pocket, this 50 cal is capable of 3500 ft/lbs of energy, is one of the most accurate revolvers in the world and shoots super flat 100+ meters.
@John McAlister I can understand, however 400 gr cast wc’s at 1800 ft/sec certainly shoots flat (eventually gravity always wins, if that’s what you mean). Have personal experience with my 3.5” performance center cannon 😜.
Can easily vaporize 1 gal water jugs at 90 yards, off-hand. Super accurate and flat, but recoil is a beast
They seem to go for lightweight polymer pistols with double stacked mags for capacity just like everyone else. You can see in videos with cops that pretty much everyone magdumps those things when they need whoever is shooting at them to stop that and take cover instead.
They carry a lot of gear so an extra weapon is just dead weight. Why not replace that revolver with something more useful such as another rifle mag?
If you have a rifle the only reason to carry a pistol is to have something to fall back on if your rifle is malfunctioning. It never seems to happen regardless. I've not heard of anyone talk about using their pistol when the rifle is fucked up. They just run off to fix the rifle.
When I was in, I knew a Lt. Colonel that carried a revolver, though I don't remember the caliber. He rarely went on patrol or missions with us. We used to joke that he polished his holster more than his weapon. This was during the time when Special Operations standards became more relaxed, and leadership became more toxic.
@@randalldrew6044 I see revolvers are common among flight crew which makes complete sense in these scenarios. As for operators there probably is a perfect situation for 5 shot rifle power that can fit in the pocket, but probably very rarely
GSG 9 used to use S&W 357 magnums. They cleared a plane of terrorists once with them.
Shawn great guest Mike defo got his experience
GRS aren't operators, they're security personnel. I'm a retired PMOO, I know.
My life plan at 15 was to join the Corps, go Force Recon and then CIA paramilitary as well. I could have been J. M. Spann....
And then what, you sprained your ankle?
I can already tell this is going to be an epic interview
The full interview is pinned at the top. It was three years ago. Great episode
I heard that once Shaun Ryan smiled, anyone seen any footage??
Thanks for the upload
i was in afghanistan from 2010-2018-DoD contractor. and mobile about 75% of the time..not a "fob-ette".
pertaining to our "withdrawal"-
we did not show up in 2001/2002 to "save" the language assistants. were were there to keep afghanistan demographically and physically secure. not to become a visa "facilitation" service because you work with/for the US.
yes-the majority of the LAs were good guys. they also knew if they spun things enough they would scam to get out of afghanistan. they were paid well to work inside their nation to benefit "their" nation.
the LAs were young adults and half-westernized. they knew that if they hung around the military long enough the could talk their way to a visa program. hence the SIV program that began, really, around 2011.
our team in mazar had a saying even back in 2011: the LAs do not want freedom "for" afghanistan they want freedom from afghanistan. we know what they were about. not a bad thing, we never promised them, legally or on paper "a" visa to the US.
have anyone..anyone at all show you the document "promising" a visa and post it on the internet. you can not. why? it does not exist. it never had.
loosing over 2,600 US civilian/military lives and "inheriting" 100,000 afghan refugee's (costing billion$) in NOT what we were there for in doctrine and policy and is not the "definition" of victory per the 1600 dementia patient-slow "joe".
Michael Spann from Winfield, Al
Thank you for your content
I never would've guessed the shooting standards for the Marshals are so high. It's as surprising as the best snipers coming from the Department of Energy.
I’m 31 now. Seeking to re-enlist and get to RASP with an MOS of either 12B or 11X. I can shoot my ass off. I want to do that hard & fast shit. I’ll accomplish it.
Someone post the clip of Mike getting a dry fire and yanking his pistol down with his crappy grip 😂
Shawn you need some vigilance elite coasters, that drink on the leather chair 😱
Sounds like he was a contractor or PMIC, while he waited for a spot as a PMOO, and or PMO.
Sgm Albert operations sgm 2/87 10th mtn needs to be reviewed for a higher medal upon his death, he went into a burning Blackhawk and pulled everyone out while burning to death.
Always good stuff
Great compliment coming from that guy and his background.
Idk why him starring into the camera keeps bothering me😂🤣
Great mindset.
Building 7 questions everything these men have done post 911
Played cards with a soldier who thought I didn't know he was
Seeing into his eyes was quite amazing
Seeing his past lives all in wonderment
Seeing him as he really is underneath it all an Sparta in it's golden glory

Are air Marshall's really the best shots as far as qualifying standards go?
UK guy here, what I take from it is that he saying Gov Spoofs are right up there - but are vetted by the likes of US Marshall service to validate - at the end he says they are private contractors, reason for this is for the deniability factor (no breadcrumbs)
@@Steamerbeen at the end of the day their official role is a contractor because they're working on a contract to contract basis rather than full employment with a government agency
Mikes the balls when the government was harassing him I was pissed! Great guy like to hear his stories. Outstanding American!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good show guy!
I am obsessed with Geology also!
Dude this should be an epic interview !
Respect!
Crazy to think I was born when this guys were kicking door, if I was borned earlier I would've joined the war from the beginning. Y'all are like my uncle's man stay sharp.
Door kickers complaining about government door kickers?
I know something.. now I'm immuned to a certain type of serum 😮 💬
The Air Marshall Service? C’mon now
So Air Marshalls have the hardest shooting course in the US? Good to know.
That is a good way to not say what he thought about meeting you.
