On Today's Episode:
Human behavior even when it seems to be erratic is predictable. In fact, CIA super spy, Andrew Bustamante says “humans are laughably predictable.” If this is true, then why do you struggle with relationships and achieving our desired outcomes?
Former CIA intelligence officer, Andrew Bustamante teaches spy hacks to help people get the ultimate advantage in business and life. The CIA taught Andrew a better way of explaining what reality actually is; he now demonstrates how espionage shapes life for everyday people like you.
This interview covers some really interesting areas of human psychology that you may be aware of but haven’t fully connected the dots on. People are motivated to survive with given resources, and learning how their motivations shape their drive and personality puts you in control of your relationships and the opportunities you decide to move on.
Key topics Andrew touches on in this episode:
-The 3 lives everyone lives but not everyone admits to
-Why the people ultimately self-destruct
-How the new world power transition plays out over the next 10 years
-The bloodless war in China to keep your eye on
-Foreign power influence in US elections

QUOTES:
“What CIA taught me was a better way of explaining what reality actually is, and the reality is that 98 percent of human beings are trapped in their own perception, so the two percent that live in the real world that have perspective, they are able to manipulate the perception of everybody else.”
“It’s how you use another human’s predictability that defines whether you typecast as hero or villain.”
“The more a person’s resources are depleted, the closer they get to their true Myers-Briggs personality.”
“Questions are always being asked by the person in control of the conversation.”
“Confidence is a perception, not a real thing. Confidence is how you perceive your own emotional reaction or your own emotional relationship with the environment around you.”
“We are hardwired to survive, we are not wired to thrive.”

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!
If they fall for those things, sadly, there is nothing you can do to save them.
Love this guy, he must come back! I'd like to ask him about 2016. He's right it wasn't the first time Russia interfered or any other country. What was shocking to Americans was that the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies across the world ALSO INTERFERED in our elections along with the previous President. How about we talk about that? The CIA literally assisted to set up a political candidate/President.
Your an entertainer. Who cares what you thiink.
Most of the comments here are bots the rest are useful idiots. Now talk about how the American people lost their constitutional rights through the 2006 military commissions act. Try saving your nation as opposed to entertaining it.
@@Spoondawg0075 why then chinese mountain war general a thought. upside down pyramid yes tucson az..
There’s no such thing as “former” CIA. This guy has been making the rounds on alternative media, spreading his CIA talking points, and these ppl keep offering him their platforms. Starting to think that alternative media, aren’t really that anymore.
My top secret "job" in the military started as upscale guard duty and ended up driving around and strong arming for spooks. YOU GET IT. TB most certainly does too. Sad.
Likely, but what is the goal? Recruitment, is the only thing I can think of.
He is informing the public of how much they actually know about human psychology and manipulation.
People who enjoy those things might now try to join the CIA, or FBI.
Also “befriending” the influencers.
Yup, you're the only one in the comments that understand. Shame.
And maybe they never have been!
Joe Ren.
The skew of 2%/98% that understand reality is sliding.
As you're listening to this guy, remember that everything he does and says is for a reason. Everything. His hair style, how he dresses, how he talks, what he talks about, his inflection. All of it is calculated. You never truly leave the CIA. There is always a motive.
yes i dont think its normal a cia agent exposes themselves and their tactics .
@@melattard2037the smart move is to drop hints of truth in order to push the real narrative
Once a spy always a spy. A faceted brain that can completely manipulate you with out trying.
Shii id be an agent if all i had to do is go around lying everywhere on yt. Pay me to lie? Id *hate* that
@@Appachoppa112would be a little harder than that bub and a lot harder than you'd ever think.
I grew up with a CIA agent and never knew it, in fact nobody did, not even my grandmother who was married to him. My step-grandfather was always going on “business trips” to Asia but it was all public/secret life. My grandmother was given a flag and a handshake after she buried her husband and that’s when she learned her husband was CIA. He was also one of the heaviest drinkers I’ve ever know, which is surprising that it never came out.
I wonder if your grandma felt betrayed never being allowed to know her husband.
I've always have such respect for those who did their duty and made their sacrifices to a higher goal in silence, without feeling the need to constantly yap about it, lease others won't see what a great guy he is. I may generalize a bit here, but action carries much, much more weight than word. We are defined by what we do, not by what we say.
@@terrytyang “for higher goal” … it’s all illusions and bs.
@@Freak-Quant I agree, it may all very well be just BS. But suppose it was not, I'm actually not quite sure I could bear those kind of sacrifices even if I knew that's the right thing to do, and for that, I respect those of us who can.
@@terrytyang "Higher goal" - destroying other countries and deprive them of their rights.
The CIA is the biggest and the worst terrorist organization in the world, and it is one of the main reason why the rest of the world hates you.
What a brutal interview you have one person talking and sharing vast knowledge and information and the other stuck in his own mind and world completely missing everything being shared with him.
Truth
Wow, you in love with Andrew?
@@781dlyoung no just recognize when someone is knowledgeable about a subject and when an interviewer chooses to make the show more about themselves then learn.
@@hollyprice1671 I respectfully disagree.
He’s right about people with high anxiety being the best spies. It makes you highly aware of your environment & surroundings. You’re observing a higher percentage of reality than those who don’t suffer from anxiety. You also pick up on more social cues. In psychology people with high anxiety tend to feel more like an observer than an actual participant in the world. I see and perceive a larger amount of truth whilst observing reality than the majority of people I’ve met. It makes you feel alone. Mix that high anxiety with OCD or high attention to detail including a vast array of life/social experiences and you get a human lie detector super spy. Lonely existence of substance abuse in a world where hardly anyone is authentic or genuine anymore.
I hope you work on your anxiety and OCD to get to a state of being reasonably peaceful and stable-minded. Living with those two terrible conditions far outweigh any benefit of hyper observation/awareness.
Now he is catching people's minds with the very technic he has just exposed...
wanna know what im right about? My theory that there is a killin to be made off of gullible people on the internet by girfitng and pretending that you were a "CIA operative" without any proof, and people just take his word for it. He's nothing but a failed hollywood actor, now grifter. Sorry to blow up your world.

Whether this guy is really CIA or not doesn't matter. The conversation and knowledge is the main part of this video.
Truth is the only thing that matters.
But masses will eat what suits there feelings
@@melinasandoval9278 Some will take the truth and also sift out what appear to be lies.
Maybe he is doing to us what he says the agency does.
@@garygeorge9648 He literally says he does in the interview. Mirroring the host, doing all of the little subtle manipulation tactics.
I love how this exCIA agent is so patient to listen to this host who loves to talk about himself (ego) and allows him to talk, talk, talk, even though he already has assessed or sized him up based on what he was skilled and taught to psychologically profile them from what is known, predicted, their words and how they resonate and their body language. I love how he gives and takes!
Yes I was really annoyed by that. He keeps interupting and trying to act like he is above certain classifications !
If you think CIA agents retire show there face blow there cover put themselves and there families in danger while the CIA just let's them chat all there info over every social media platform then you are a FOOL 😂
Yeah 😂
Well he says good liars LISTEN and ask questions.....You figure out alot and don't give much away when you're mostly listening.
@@LM-fn6qb Yep, that's about it right there. I like him too but I'm sitting here (and other videos with him) and watch with amusement as he "handles" the interviewers....that is what he is doing half the time and I love to watch a master of their craft work. I get him, he's one of my people LOL.
I met a retired CIA officer at a job fair. I asked why he was there if he is retired. He smiles and said, you never really retire. They will call you back for anything they need, whether it was a job fair or filling a position in an operation.
Are you confusing the Soviet KGB with the CIA ? The CIA can't utilize an agent anymore if that agent has an expired secret security clearance, but Vladimir Putin says that there is no such thing as an ex-KGB agent. There are plenty of people who were "shunned" from the CIA and who were retired early and were never contacted by the CIA ever again after they were forced into early retirement.
I love how my previous comment was deleted.
Trust me, a person is unable to work for the American Central Intelligence Agency anymore after their secret security clearance expired and my secret security clearance expired a long time ago.....
Vladimir Putin said: "There is no such thing as a former KGB agent" and you might be applying this quote to the CIA for some reason?
Nice opinion
0:05:00 is the end of Bustamante's explanation that only about 2% of us control everyone else because that 2% has perspective. Tom then asks for bullet points for some kind of framework to understand other people: Public life, private life, and secret life.
0:08:45 Objective in "spy mode" is to penetrate into the private life, and penetrating the secret life gives you permanent access.
0:11:00 "Human Intelligence" or "Humint" as the answer to Tom's question about how to get into someone's secret life.
0:12:10 The three periods of development, "the sponge", birth to 7 years old, then absorbing but "having preferences" to 13, and third, outright rejecting some stuff to 25.
0:15:20 How people are after 25 years old, the end of the "generalized dossier".
0:16:40 Tom asks Andrew if he took classes and Andrew explains compartmentalization and specialization within the CIA.
0:18:35 "the bump", just bumping into "laughably predictable" people according to the design of the CIA after analysing the general and detailed dossiers.
0:20:00 Use of the Myers Briggs personality scale.
0:21:20 Tom uses "secret" instead of "private" and Andrew didn't correct him. I would argue there really isn't any secret personality, because it's secret (not just "private"), asking how to get into somone's secret life.
0:22:45 Andrew explains the three resources CIA works on systematically draining so that their true Myers Briggs personality comes out which you can then mirror to become their confidante.
0:25:00 Andrew explains that questions are always asked by the person in control.
0:26:00 Tom uses the "This is water" quote from David Foster Wallace regarding one's frame of reference.
0:27:30 "People have exchanged what worked for what sounds good." (Thomas Sowell)
0:29:00 Tom asks Andrew how much of Andrew's (consultant) work is getting people to solidify the specifics and how much is basically just playing by ear?
0:31:00 Are there universal questions that get people to reveal themselves? "When was the last time you were offended?" is Tom's answer.
0:33:15 "How would you plan your ideal vacation?" is Andrew's answer and he explains why ("four temperments, lions, foxes, cheetahs, and bears"). He explains that these four types are required for a high performance team.
0:38:50 "How do you organize your closet?" is Tom's answer for what Andrew is talking about.
0:39:35 How Andrew and his wife deal with their relationship and the psychological aspects of the job.
0:41:00 Andrew explains the concept of the "thousand personalities" and how it's useful to choose between them.
0:43:30 "Remember who you are" as a tool for controlling your own mind.
0:44:30 Andrew explains the value of accepting your three developmental (0-7, 7-13, 13-25) personalities.
0:50:00 Andrew explains why he shouldn't have gone into the military.
0:51:10 Andrew explains that the "right amount" of childhood trauma can make you a high achiever, as the CIA teaches.
0:53:00 "How will you handle your kids' turning 18" and "What do you mean by 'legacy'?"
0:55:20 Andrew asks "Do I create the trauma that will make my kids high achievers?" and wrestles with the answer, showing some healthy introspection.
0:57:00 Tom provides his solution to this question: Evolution forces us to work hard to attain skills to serve yourself and others. "The only thing that matters is how you feel about yourself when you're by yourself."
0:59:25 Tom explains the one trick: Decide what you will value/respect yourself for. And don't pick achievement because it's too fickle, but picking the effort is great because you can always make the effort.
He gave up 🤣🤣🤣
where are you in the philippines
@deadboltzz5199 Can't blame him. What's the point of giving timestamps to tautologies.
Hey thanks for this, I feel more videos could really use this. It's nice to always find someone in the comments doing this as I am doing shit tons of studying and research daily so this is of great value to me. In ✌️and ❤️
@@grak1396Ayo hahahah nice😅
Andrew does such a good job promoting the CIA as a wholesome organisation one would think that he is still being paid by them.
I doubt he has never been CIA spy. 😂 maybe in video game. 😂
@@MikkoSimila so you doubt he has ever or never? what are you saying? :D
@@northgambit ever never. Dude ain't from CIA.
Him being on this show is the pre-retirement desk job 😉
I get it... he a clever guy who's read allot of books and hated shitty jobs so came up with an inventive idea to make lots of money to take care of his family properly and protects himself by praising the organisation he's pretending he was a part of - there's something admirable in that if done impeccably.
I just wonder why is a CIA operative suddenly coming forward like this, if not to make us look in the wrong direction.
Or sell books and get rich?
Make us look in the wrong direction? Or make adversaries look in the wrong direction?
(He openly says he doesn't think Ukraine will win)
Bwahaha! Yeah, he’s trying to fool you because you’re such a threat.
Alot of the stuff he says is basic psychology or things you can look up yourself about how the CIA runs logistically
@@chrisburke624 well even if they fight off russia is that a win. They owe america so much money after this war
I love that he was able to take childhood trauma that sucked to him while he was going through it and turned it around just by following what he was told to do or trained to do and now he's an expert on how to manipulate situations to leverage the outcomes he wants to favor him or the mission!
Well that's the point... ie he's on a CIA recruitment mission. Most people these daze have realised the 3 letter agencies are evil.
Tom: “Let’s assume we’re going to use these tools for good?”
Andrew: *laughs and says nothing*
Oh if only people knew what the CIA do, nothing would surprise them anymore.
Everything here is bothersome. To see the science I love being used to manipulate and control others is incredibly unpleasant.
That was the moust honest answer he could give.
He just know that no one would belive him when he would lye his head of on this point.
Our filthy gvt has been torturing and killing our helpless pets and loved ones, using our devices. Many yrs ago, my little short haired blk and tan mini doxy started having violent seizures every month. We took him to vet aftervet and they gave him meds that didn't help. I changed his diet, changed his water, and nothing helped. Sometimes the seizures were so bad he almost died, and we had to rush him to the vets to save his little life. I always cried and prayed when he had these seizures, because it hurt me so deeply to see my baby suffer so bad. Well, about a yr ago, my husband and I were sitting here in our living room and we heard his cell ph make a strange, hi pitched but quiet noise it never made for any reason, and IMMEDIATELY my dog started having seizures! I have been targeted over 30 yrs and never thought that the sick freaks could be deliberately CAUSING the seizures, BUT THEY WERE! I couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless and cruel that they could do such a horrific thing to a helpless little dog!! But they DID! The seizures stopped that day, and a week later my babydog went BLIND. I was heartbroken AGAIN, to see my bay walk into walls, fall down stairs (till we blocked them) and get lost behind a door or the couch!! HEART BREAKING!! His little organs swelled up inside of his belly, and the vet said it was his pancreas. My baby got very sick a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. He was vomitting, had the runs, and refused to eat for me. He was being SHOCKED every hour, night and day, and neither of us could get much sleep. I busted agents AGAIN, using the speakers on this PC to put out FREQUENCIES, hurting my little boy! I unplugged the speakers and then busted them again, using the built in speakers to emit these dangerous frequencies!! I shut down the pc and could still hear a high pitched whine coming directly from the MONARCH TOWER LLC across the street! My baby got so sick he couldn't even lift up his little head anymore and he died in my arms THANKSGIVING DAY about 4pm. I AM HEARTBROKEN and I miss my babydog terribly! THE SICK FREAKS TORTURED AND KILLED HIM just as the had the three prior to him before I realized what they were doing to us!! They are doing these horrific things to HURT US. They are sick satanist freaks who ENJOY hurting helpless, innocent people and animals that cannot defend themselves! Let me also say that they tested other bioweapons on us as well, which cost the life of my longhaired doxy, and nearly cost my life as well, a couple yrs ago. The sick freaks have put nanotech systems in the shots, masks, tests and swabs, and then using the towers to manipulate and control those systems inside the victims. They are also CAUSING inf, disease, organ damage and death w frequencies! WATCH YOUR DEVICES and keep vol low or off and never sleep near any devices!! These sick freaks MUST be stopped! They are deliberately killing us and our loved ones. This is ALL deliberate!
@@kellycarver2500 ok, yes there is actual proof to some of these claims like frequencies having an effect on you're mood, psyche, and health, but you sound unhinged as hell with the way you deliver some of this information.
The definition of success that I have always loved the most is “ success is defined as the consistent pursuit toward a worthy goal”. It’s about the process - not the outcome. As long as you’re taking active steps toward your worthy goal you’re already successful. What you get by achieving your goal is not as important as who you become by working toward it.
Tom: “I assume we’re gonna use these powers for good”
Spy: 😂
i'm from Asia and i have disdain for American government and CIA.
i like the people but damn...America's government is definitely the most evil corp in the world.
i read Confessions of an Economic Hitman and i'm sickened.
then i hear Whitney Webb talking about Irish mafia, israrli mafia and italian mafia teamed up with earlier versions of CIA (operation underground) to create the sex-teen blackmail that is Epstein to politicians.
C I A is evil.
and this guy lied about 9-11.
part of evil is still evil.
he is part of evil.

It is annoying when the interviewer starts talking more than the interviewee. If you would like to talk about yourself, Tom, it is best not to invite anyone
That’s EXACTLY what I said. I had to speed up him talking. Thank god Andrew slowed his speech & took over! Poor Lisa 😂
Incredibly annoying by this interviewer who clearly loves his own voice.
A CIA agent that has green light to speak of CIA methodology in public, must by definition have some deeper motive defined by his employer. Humans are laughably predictable.
Just because he may have worked for the CIA, does not make him an "agent". On observing how he seem loves to talk, (which suggests an underlying desire to seek approval ), I doubt he could be evaluated as trustworthy enough to have been ever allowed to get anywhere near real "secrets". Chances are, he was just one of the drones, hired for some menial paper pushing position, but gained a grandiose view of himself in the process.
While I could be wrong? Unlike terrytyang I agree with you 100%, some hidden agenda, projecting an idea or opinion that they want people to believe, or something along those lines is most likely what the motive is here? Or he was never really cia and is just making stuff up? I thought the cia was like a gang, blood in blood out, and the only way to truly leave is in a body bag? Another bob lazar or eric snowden type, where they are the 1st and only people allowed to go on tour whistle blowing? But they never let any real cats out of the bag or reveal anything we didnt know, while supporting and reaffirming the narrative the people they work for have already given us and want us to believe. Or this is the left hand they have us busy watching so we dont notice what the right hand is doing?? JMO and the vibes Im getting?
@@terrytyang You should rather ask yourself.
How and why did he just show up out of thin air on all podcast in this category of topics. And how did he get a tv show about aliens and ghosts?
He is clearly a agent of disinfomation
@@terrytyangyou dont know that
Psyop
This may be my favorite episode because this guy is so good at speaking that you don’t really know if he used his cia technique in order to get on this show in the first place. Brilliant.
Or hypnotise us into watching to the end 😆
We all have to work to make a living. Some of use learn skills we learned and make a business out of it like this guy. And 98% percent of the world don’t have any skills so need a paycheck to make a living.
couldn't agree more
"How you feel about yourself when you are by yourself.
Do something that makes you feel good about yourself".

i actually dont belevie him one bit, just big mouth talking basic things that everyone knows lmao but herd is a herd (brainless)
A word of encouragement for you guys... "When the mind is offended; the heart is revealed " Absolute Truth... for ourselves and others.... Be well guys...! And Thanks for the journey !!!
I think it’s so interesting that the host thought his job interview question “when was the last time you were offended?” was such a great & insightful one. It says far more about the host/interviewer than it does about the potential employee. It’s not hard to assume who and what type of person that question caters to…. and if I were asked that question in a job interview, I’d be curious as to what unfortunate incident prompted it, and then would have doubts about bosses moral integrity, level of self-awareness, and ability to think big picture
Sounds like a rather self-righteous perspective from where I’m standing.
Agree
Tom, please, let your guest speak. We are here to hear the guest, not you.
I was thinking that
Me too, he talks too much and i dont sometimes get what he wants to convey
Exactly 👍
Blud is yammering
Wow, literally explained this to my kids. That who ever said the universe doesn’t revolve around you wad correct, but the key is to remember that everyone’s individual world does.
You’ll never have success trying to be the main character in someone else movie.
even though there were commercials every three minutes, this was one of the best guests I've seen on youtube in a long while.
install adblock dude smh
Nobody quits the CIA. His tee shirt should say “Everyday Psyop”. We have a quorum here. He’s on a mission. He’s quite good. And he’s on a lot of channels lately.
He's okayish. His commentary is constantly called out on UA-cam shorts. But I guess he does a good job in the sense, that he makes an institution that otherwise has the potential to look extremely terrifying and hostile endearing to the American public.
Nevertheless - Regardless of how things unfold, my money's still on the multi-polar world order sweeping the unipolar world order aside. Sorry, fren. Nothing personal. I just don't see it in you (you the group, not the individuals).
On a mission?
my thoughts on Mike Baker.
It’s not CIA…right now there’s this push for including AI in the workspace, AI to be used for research by an individual, so not just automation but to integrate AI more into helping people with their everyday lives. But your well known guys in the same field that has advanced AI are a little reluctant to rollout this kind of technology, knowing that it can be abused if placed in the wrong hands. THEY CAN BE USED TO SPY ON CITIZENS AND TAKE AWAY THEIR RIGHTS TO PRIVACY AND BE AFRAID TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Anybody can be labeled a “potential” criminal and alas driven to do a crime, which I think right now no one is that smart to drive someone in that direction yet. Look at this guy and see that it’s his job to study you as an outside entity and basically infiltrate your livelihood. This is a crime against humanity. Everyone is being programmed to be dumber also. Your attention span is shorter with all the new stupid fads like tik tok and shorter videos, that you’ll miss out on reading the important stuff or grasp a better understanding by reading the newspaper. I believe that we are here just to be experimented on and these overlords are here just doing that.
People quit the cia all the time.
I can identify with wanting to please, but I as a teen rebelled. That didn’t fair so well, however, valuable life lessons were learned. I realized that I was a spiritual, mental, emotional and physical being which needed balance and honesty surrounding these.
When I can step outside myself to see humanity and the big picture, I can also see the reality that I have choices and need to accept consequences for those choices. It’s humbling yet freeing
Also CIA "compartmentalizing," while very efficient means that none of the operatives know exactly what the the overall endgame is. I find that frightening because they can't judge for themselves if this is a moral goal and thus go along with everything without questioning if they are on the side of good or evil.
That explains why this dude still believes that 9/11 was a terrorist attack. Obviously he didn’t get the memo. 😂
Snowden saw the whole thing.
God bless that hero.
Even in the top at I see the CIA don't even know what is the overall endgame. How the hell normal agent even know?
Endgame is survival. Also destabilizing the other side.
a lot of people don't understand this concept. Just because someone was CIA or FBI doesn't mean anything. A lot of them are normal people who think highly of themselves. The ones that come out and say they know secrets are probably laughed at by higher ups at how the information they planted in them is being transferred.
So if he’s been allowed to spread this information of the CIA and their training/tactics, he’s still an asset of some kind and this is pretty basic manipulation tactics. They won’t let him divulge information that they themselves don’t want being spread. If he was to slip up and say something that wasn’t approved, he’d be of no use as a current or even former operative. Maybe I’m wrong?
"We'll know our Disinformation program is complete when Everything the US public believes is false." William Casey former CIA Director 1981. Your absolutely correct.
How would you know?
You are 100% correct and btw once 3 letter always a 3 letter.
Listened to a lecture by another CIA operative, Kevin Shipp, and he basically admits that he is monitored 24/7 and anything he divulges is either in public domain or is things he is being allowed to spread.
Ran across my mind as well,I sense some real disguised reverse psychology methods.
Bro is for sure spreading cia talking points. I can’t stop watching his interviews on every channel tho. He plays these interviewers like a fiddle, he knows what he’s doing.
Yeah but those talking points boil down to CIA is always good and acting in best interests of US, and that the media are good and are just trying to make money with no ulterior agendas.... which is demonstrably false.
I'm more concerned about his analysis of Taiwan - I think it will end up being a hot war.
@Daniel America won't lol.
Russia and the US still has the most - it will probably be Australia or Taiwan that suffers.
100%... for me the comments section is fricken awesome with so many intelligent people able to see the psyop in real time now 👀 We've come along way since 9/11.
As a parent of grown kids who are all high achievers. I can tell you that trauma or difficulties in childhood does not need to be created! Trauma always happens even when you try to protect them. My husband was laid off from his corporate job, during their childhood. The family had to cut back, we did not have extra money to spend on vacations or extra curricular activities. Even though we tried to keep life at an even keel…it was stressful and it affected our kids..they all went to college and got masters. Specifically to get enough education to avoid a lapse in work…
Exactly. I found that comment odd. Life is full of losses, grieving is built into the program. I'd hardly be concerned my child might not be hurt badly enough by life! Trouble comes whether you want it or not. And high achievement clearly corelates with privilege - and that includes the privilege of a safe and loving home.
Exactly. Life happens as we move through it and children experience it with you. It’s even different for each child.
Best conversation and content I've heard in a looong time. Tom only interviewer so far I've seen to engage with Andrew at his level. Thank you for the thoughtful topics. . So nice to see smart people actually talking and learning from each other and not just trying to be the smartest guy in the room.
Try Lex Freedman. You are in for a surprise
@@msmaluu Literal plant. Watching him talk about a specific topic, even one he supposedly has knowledge in, is painful how lacking he is. Pure social engineering and theatrically.
He fooled you just as he was saying he was. Soft power is THE power over you...
@@msmaluulex Friedman is cringe. He knows more than a dumb person but not nearly enough to have a productive conversation with Bustamante. It's just him tossing tin foil hat questions for Bustamante to validate or invalidate
You believe this?
Great 2 hour 30 watch. Its very rare I will sit and listen to something for this long let alone on youtube. I couldn't stop listening to Andrew about every single topic 😊
As Andrew pointed out, he can assess people into the 16 Mayer’s Briggs personality matrix and the four types of animal temperaments. So, to answer his legacy question regarding his children, let them grow up to be the best at whomever they are. Each type of person always has something to offer, and I believe has intrinsic value - regardless.
Here here!
What type was Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot or the guy that invented Chucky Cheese?
@@chrismashburn9710the guy you send to torture the enemy, duh😂😂😂
Too bad Meyers Briggs is not real psychology and was created by two unqualified fans of psychology.
@@jamrollz yeah, neither were Freud nor Jung but they basically invented psychology so I guess you don't always have to specifically be a psyc to make good contributions to the field. But thankyou for letting us know, of course we'd make the assumption they were ✌️
This guy knows exactly what he’s talking about I can relate to him he’s very intelligent
Yes but very boring
Finally! I have stating for YEARS that we are being distracted with smoke and mirrors, creating infighting and dissent while the powers that be carry on behind the scenes, wreaking havoc. Two parties? No. Keep the plebians busy with bickering while nefarious acts take place under our nose. So well said! I've been watching Impact Theory forever and this is one of my favorite interviews. Thank you, Tom and Andrew. "I'm too rich for that." LOL!!!!! You are exactly right. Please continue providing this amazing content!
It’s true. However, it’s satan distracting, separating, dividing us. When we’re hating, fighting, fearful, etc., we’re not focused on Christ.
This is another smoke. WHAT WAS REAL IS FREEDOM CONVOY.
Christians don't understand the bible is an astrology book lost in translation. lucifer is venus Satan is saturn the devil is mercury.
He is really good in manipulating people. He openly states what he learned and for what and now he does it to everyone who watches him on these shows and manipulates a "Pro US" mentality in every viewer and is actually doing a non-covert-covert job as an CIA agent in the field by pretending to not be one anymore. Well played.
I agree, I have seen this dude on so many shows that I know what hes made of, and who made him. His harmless persona is the scariest, part because he is everything but harmless. I know!
This is the circular thinking of the Sicilian from “The Princess Bride”.

I keep landing on these podcast videos and finding fellow Air Force Academy attendees. Andrew is so articulate and demonstrates his ideas in a way that makes you want to trust him and believe him. It’s wild seeing how skilled he is even on camera. You can see him analyzing as he speaks but he softened his perceived intensity by the way he controls his voice intonation and his mannerisms. Very interesting to see
Acting can be fun

well said. lol
He's an Establishment shill, trying to get people to like the CIA and the Neocons that get us into endless wars.
It's almost as if he's been trained and prepared to get the governments message out
I am German and I don't necessarily care who is the predominant world power, but I know that moral decline does harm countries inwardly and outwardly. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. If the USA would do morally well, I would even gladly see them as the super power. Reality is, when war against a nation doesn't work, moral decline always works and it's naive to thin that there is no one ever having the idea to encourage moral decline for some or the other reason.
i think there are definitely forces encouraging moral decline in the USA to the extreme. I don’t want us to be a world superpower….we are constantly preoccupied with war instead of family life and community life of people caring about their neighbors, parents, children, and all of the things that make people happy. Our suicide rate keeps increasing and the life expectancy in the USA has been lowering since 2013
Thank you! I’m so grateful that I was able to watch this interview. Wide spectrum of valuable, thought provoking material.
What a time to be alive to listen this type of conversations.. There is a saying that you are the average of the 5 person whom you talk the more, well this channel is one of those friends :)
I worry about making it through each day every day. If you are fortunate enough to have never been laid off, house foreclosed, IRA imploding, homeless, and developed a stress disorder from all the tragic survival events. Everything can vanish at any moment. Congratulations to those who haven't had any of these or all of these. But understand the fear is not imaginary.
You are not alone in going through this. I am in a similar situation, as are other folks. Good luck to us both and others finding themselves also treading dark waters. No words really help in these matters, but I will say that I believe that hope is not passive. Be hopeful, but that hope hinges on us being active making moves to get out of this untenable situation. Again, good luck to you.
I've seen Andrew interviewed on many different shows/podcasts but this particular interview is my favorite. Yes, he was a CIA spy and that holds it's own amount of "click worthy cred" but so far, Tom has been the only one able to elicit great conversation topics outside of the who, what, where, when, and why SPY.
Andrew is a dweeb and was never a part of the CIA.
He's still a CIA spy, nobody actually retires and goes public there.
He's agency controlled just drip-feeding techniques
@@spo0ny2k nah he's just a stooge
He's still a spy
The single most pertinent piece of info for me was the correlation between trauma and aptitude for achievement. In my case I guess I got a little too much trauma - but it still gives me motivation for my recovery. Take away the drugs and success is indeed probable. But perspective is important - it's not all about financial success. If an individual life is represented as a square then success, balance, and growth need to occur in each of the four areas: spiritual, physical, work (hopefully aligned with vision and impact), and family and relationships. Great podcast thanks Tom.
I agree completely. I have had traumas throughout my life and have smoked weed as a coping mechanism. I’ve got my own business and still struggle to really push myself. Maybe it’s the fear of not achieving. I was admonished severely if I didn’t achieve the expected high grades.
Creepily it feels like he's meta-explaining to Tom acquiring him as an institutional asset in real time.
Thought the same thing
So funny…unlikely but true!
This was my impression of what transpired between them. This is an acquisition of Tom. Tom will not be the same after this meeting of the minds with this guy. As this guy has practices the techniques of mind control; and has found out Toms weak points. I would not trust him at all. Why is he able to relay CIA techniques and says he is a CIA operative. He is using Tom to use him. The spider and the fly - guess who the spider is?
You’re hired!
He may already have..lol Co-workers?😅
What an amazing interview; so much to learn and takes notes…. As a therapist I’m agreeing to the vast majority of subjects and reality. Thank you 🙏🏻
Growing up I was always the one in the group would would care for everyone. Looking back I was a real people pleaser. It brought me a lot of disappointment and stress because I would put myself second. However in my 30s that people pleasing has turned into tactical empathy, now I can still care about others in an authentic manner while including myself in the equation. In my world empathy and people pleasing is the most powerful way of negotiation

Thanks
I love his take on confidence, I said this to a manager at a job once, I’m confident when I’ve trained at something and start to feel my training was helping when he told me to just be confident with clients, confidence isn’t shit without competence 👏
My boss once told me to just "fake it till you make it". That mentality and behavior just breeds a population of incompetent leaders.
No competence = NO CONFIDENCE. Can’t have the latter without the former.
@@iiihhh7257 yep

“Just be confident”, spoke the ivory tower.
I've seen 2 or 3 podcasts with Andrew, this one was by far the best. He also seemed SUPER engaged in the conversation. Loved it
That’s because he’s CIA lol

Key word here - seemed. He's spewing bullshit.
This is why, the truth sets you free. Stand in the truth. The truth is the vehicle is going to hit you. That is reality. You do not know yourself if you do not submit to the truth
So cool. I've never been able to sit through a full one of your episodes in one sitting, but this one I was glued. Well done, so interesting.
“They’re happy to sit in a dark room somewhere.. and if someone js brought them a sandwich every three hours or so.. they would create amazing things” this guy gets its 😂😂😂😂
I'm 49 years old and I have to say this is in the top 3 best interviews I have ever heard! Andrew is amazing.... wow! thanks guys, I've learned a lot from this....
I like his intellectual objectivity so much. Saw comments on another video he wasn’t even in calling him fake and some in other videos saying oh CIA talking points. If these were the talking points CIA wanted us to have those commenters clearly wouldn’t know how fucking good they had it. Finding him fake is the expectation of bias, so the lack of insight in that alone suggests projection and not too bright. Good interview.
Empathy is understanding how someone feels, even if you don’t agree.
Intuitive empath cuts through the feeling to see the true motivation. 👁
hands down top 5 best episodes i've seen on impact theory and i've seen 90% of them all, its scary how much intellect Andrew has, don't think i can honestly be around someone like him to fully trust him without feeling like he's manipulating the interaction

When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
For men, respect is your lifeline, but for women, it is loving yourself.
One look at this man’s eyes and I can clearly see how morally flexible he could be, that’s why we keep guns, people like him
@@seren3797 the CIA should be dismantled, just because you are not in the United States shouldn’t mean you no longer live by our laws. And if you can’t pick up on his manipulation then you deserve to be manipulated
When our world is full of people who work for agencies like the CIA we should all be afraid for our today’s and even more afraid for our children’s future.
I find this also very sad. 😟 We are making it so much harder and dumber for ourselves than it needs to be in this reagard.
I have to play this back again, I might have missed the part about blackmail, bribery, assasinations, overrunning governments, false flags, invading countries, drug trafficking, interfering with foreign elections, torture...etc etc etc
Videos should never be this long. The beginning is good & right before the 2 hour
mark is what this title finally gets touched on.
That's called an attention span lollll
I'm going to correct him: the point of perception being reality is that it affects your behavior more than reality. It is near impossible for a human in civilization to see reality for what it actually is without serious skepticism and investigation of everything they've been taught to perceive as true.
His agency is mostly accountable for that difficulty. In fact, until you're able to become sensitive to the many different inputs that alter your perception, seeing reality is near impossible. To correct his dad: "What You perceive as true becomes your reality."
Which is why self inquiry and being skeptical of what you have been told is truth should be a life skill...
Watched a bit more, and his nuance actually supports his statement.
@@SleightWryder patience
I am a social psychologist.This Andrew guy seems to me to be taking complex multifaceted concepts and oversimplifying them. At many points, he even seems confused about the most basic information processing heuristics. Public life, private life, secret life blah blah blah. Andrew doesn’t even seem to realize that these overlap, nor does he understand that I could very easily make him think that he has access to my so called “secret life” all the while keeping my actual motivations secret from him. I see a lot of people admiring him here, but he comes off as a blowhard to people who have done the real work necessary to understand human behaviour.
Do you have any videos of you explaining these concepts?
What an absolutely fantastic interview. I've been in b2b sales all my life and ALWAYS said the job is like being a professional spy/CIA agent. I'm going to watch this one 2x. Maybe 3x...
"Readers" are what the Army called it. There was a contractor who taught Reader class. It didn't work because no one knows what another person will do. We, as individuals, sometimes don't know what we will do. Therefor, no one else does either, nor should they know.
I could have listened to him for another two hours without getting bored. Super interesting guy...
In intelligence CIA or former KGB business the most intelligent operatives are not the field workers but recruiters ....I am not one ...but a real mystic...
The truth is. Everything that is now able to upset you (make you unhappy) was in fact born out of your past. And so, as a child you were taught by those who raised you in this crazy/unhappy/warlike society (look around you) to habitually think and talk about the past. To become quite literally stuck in the past. In the pain of your emotions/your thoughts. In fact, by being taught to hang onto and feed our inner pain as we were (by habitually thinking and talking about those very events that actually gave birth to it) we were actually being taught to 'unknowingly' resurrect our own body of inner pain. Habits that constantly serve to 'ruin' that which is naturally good. Namely the present moment. The NOW. And yes, the more you do actually dwell in the past (in the pain of your emotions/your thoughts) the more you will be seen to suffer accordingly. Or to put it another way, unhappiness is currently in full control of this physical existence. And that unhappiness has deliberately worked to create an environment in which IT can thrive at humanities expense. In which IT can create even more unhappiness both in us and around us. In other words, it is really emotion/the living past that is actually playing 'mind games' with us humans. And in order for us to change the situation for the betterment of all of mankind, we first need to fully understand who (or really 'what') our one and only real enemy is. Along with how and why IT actually operates as IT does. Andrew.
Now, the thing is. Most individuals mistakenly believe that the living past (the residual emotion/pain associated with past events) has simply disappeared. But it has not. The truth is, there is a body of past pain (residual emotion) that lives on deep down inside each one of us. In the PIT of each one of our stomachs in fact. A body of residual emotion (past pain) that we are each meant to take full responsibility for in our daily lives. Something that we are actually meant to do by turning the light of our God given attention inward. And shining it on the body of residual emotion, so effectively burning IT out of our system. A sort of cleansing as it were. A bit like internal gardening. And yes, you have to work to break those seemingly harmless habits that I pointed out above. You know, like habitually thinking and talking about the past. Feeding your inner pain in other words by constantly telling your sad, sad story. Along with actively practicing 'forgiveness' of course. The process of consciously shedding the weight of the past that you have long been carrying with you. That past that has actually haunted and hounded you for many years. Andrew.
@@NowisEvollovetion this is wisdom, thank you for writing this out so clearly.
@@thecatdowntheroad369You are most welcome. I am glad you are able to see the truth in what I have written. Andrew.
If you 'pause' the wave you are carried by daily to take a zen moment...the answers come. All that's left is choice.
@@CasperBlackbirdHello. The whole purpose of actually 'stilling' one's mind is to create an environment that is completely devoid of all emotion/psychological disease. As of course e-motion cannot exist in an environment that is completely devoid of all motion/movement. As the word 'sanity' (or sanitised/cleansed) so clearly shows us. Andrew.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD AN “INTERVIEWER” TALK SO MUCH MORE THAN THE GUEST!
How certain videos pop up in the algorithm tell me everything I need to know. I call it CIA fishing.
I'm watching this podcast for the FOURTH time it's so good!! Thank you Tom and Andrew! Amazing podcast!!
This is my first time, are you taking notes too? I keep pausing it and taking notes. It's going to take me some time to ponder, process and pontificate on all these gems. This is unreal.
To be honest, if you ever research into politics, government, and have watched political videos for a decade or more, you'll start to figure out patterns, strategies, psychology, and layers upon layers of different timelines, probabilities, predictions, and so on. It's kind of like experiencing a timelines that's different than what you envisioned it to be.
This is why I'm into time traveling because of the complications, consequences, and even alternative methods that you can experience or do in the past, present, and future. Heck, I would love to travel back in time to experience what the actual truth was, instead of just an organization assuming this is what they can conclusively find. Whereas if I went back in time to the 1940s nazi germany, and be undercover for a good few years and keep track of every person; I guarantee you there will be a few thousand that have been missed or destroyed during the war that the future could have known about, but wasn't able to due to some records destroyed. Or even prevent hitler from shooting himself and teleport him to America to face charges and even speak on the radio of what he has done to the world. Imagine that actually happening in our grandparent's timeframe where Hitler was arrested because of you the time traveller prevented him from killing himself with a pistol....
So for this, it merely comes down to, What do you wish or want to do on this planet that you would like to leave behind for your future generations to know about you before and after you pass on into the afterlife? In other words, what do you want people to think of you when your name comes up in their conversations? That to me is what's important. And the Yin Yang symbol represents the perfect balance of light vs. dark, good and evil, happiness and depression. If too much of one side becomes the norm, the other side becomes traumatic and harsh to the utopias of the light side. Same thing with the dark, if there's too much depression, hatred, and hopelessness, then happiness and joy would cease to exist unless change can occur to make it equally balanced...Again, as I mentioned before, life has to be equally balanced, never tipped to one side or the other.
And most of all, get out of the left wing vs. right wing politics and games, it's not worth it in your life or in the end, even if things get worse or better than the group you devoted yourself to join in the first place.

Michael Weston is the Lion: Always organizing and coming up with a plan especially on the fly
Jesse Porter is the Fox: He's extremely creative with the ability to bounce back quickly due to that same creativity.
Fiona Glenanne is the Cheetah: She takes action and executes heavy. Sometimes she over-executes!
Sam Axe is the Bear: Not only does he build and have all of these different relationships outside of the team but he also looks like a bear with a beer!

so funny how these 2 guys see their own country and other countries .... and very revealing. I still hear the narrative of "we are the good ones on this planet but we get distracted and made a few mistakes and get lazy - while others are authoritarian and bad/evil. "
Nice try to manipulate into a false dichotomy. There are approx 200 countries. Relative comparisons Russians and Chinese are risking their lives to enter the US. It doesn't happen the other way around. Let freedom ring!!

@@JaZmine147 I live in a so called authoritarian country and I was free enough not to take the mRNA shots, my son was able to go to school all the time and there is no bullying or violence at schools, and we all can walk around freely at night without the fear of being robbed or shot. Most of the so called authoritarian countries also do not illegally bombard or sanction other countries like the "good USA". Maybe the Western metrics are a Western self-complacent illusion? How free are you? What choice do you really have if you are only allowed to choose every 4y between 2 parties which both are elitist and serve certain oligarchs' interests? Look at your infrastructure, your roads and bridges, your non existent high speed rail-system...your airports, your cities... your school system...it is all deplorable... as a result of your people's will? did you vote and decide for such an outcome? My point is: the US is fully off internally and it is even more off in its external affairs. You are not the good ones and you are not the model to follow. Other countries also have their issues but we dont have this self-complacency. ("God's own country", "the land of the free and the brave"... one could laugh if it wasn't so sad). Wake up!

Do you know how much money is spent for propaganda yearly? Do you actually know what's happening in Ukraine? Do you know why you have to join allied forces? Now how many other laguages you speak? English perhaps? Maybe you get your info from anglosphere. You watch hollywood movies? Aren't the americans heroic? How nice of them spread democracy around world. Think about those oppressed Uighyrs to never mention Wahhabism was funded there, same as ISIS. China put them to school to learn stuff and that's called a concentration camp in media. Too bad they didn't just bomb them. China did lockdowns. That's bad. China lifted lockdowns after protests. Omg. That's bad. They watched that "spy balloon" come across the continent which they watched since it's launch. Waited for it and shot it down with an expensive figther jet with expensive ammunition. All new cool military stuff. If they thought it was nefarious they wouldn't have waited. They could have gotten ridden of it in otherways also, so why the demonstration of force? If you can't see it it's too bad.

I've done that afew times in life, thinking I was making things easier for me and also possibly getting out of a heavier, stiffer punishment. In both instances, Inevitably, it never mattered. In this one specific instance. I was hit hardest I've ever been hit. It was a deadly blow. Versus not self destructing and simply changing course or making different decisions to possible alter outcomes. This was life changing and solidifies the fact that the game isn't over until its over and there is no reset button.
With all due respect, a lot of assumptions are being made about the human psyche. Not everyone has a secret life. Some live like open books and speak their truth regardless of deception, manipulation, oppression, and intimidation . Secondly, someone can recognize the mascarade and not give an iota about the mind game and street theatre. Targets can decide what to respond to. Thirdly, the draining of ones resources can work with someone who doesn't see through the fake value placed on money. Love and respect towards each other are more important than materialism, and mumbo jumbo that is used to oppress, manipulate the will of people who are trying to do good and grow as humans. Some just want to be allowed to breathe, make mistakes, and learn from them without intrusion from strangers following orders from twisted actors. Some people don't really care about what others make their business. They have more important things to give attention to. Cheetahs don't have agendas. They live for a wholesome experience with life and want to be left to figure things out without being stalked, recorded, and slandered. Hijacking people's lives should be a crime in a sane world.

It was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, not the Emperor and the quote was “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
