      Right? There were some obvious lies, but they were only obvious in context, not because she gave anything away. Like "we never use sparrows," or "someone at the corporation always knows, and we return the money.." Riiiiiiiight... She was totally crossing her fingers. Or toes.

    Jonna is truly an amazing woman! Her life stories that she can tell are truly awesome! But just imagine the things she can never tell anyone 😱 She’s probably the most courageous woman I know of, and I know for sure that I’d never have been able to do the kind of job she did, especially not during those times. She’s truly a real life Wonder Woman. It’s humbling listening to her when you just live a quiet life as an average world citizen and your only experiences with “her world” is from watching James Bond movies. With this I want to thank Jonna and her colleagues, and current agents for all the hard work they’ve put in and still put in, to make the world a safer place for us all! All the intel, actions and counter actions have likely prevented many full blown wars from taking place, and for that I am forever very grateful!

    I know Pat has his own thing going on, but he's seriously one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. He asks biting, challenging questions that steer the guests to answer in an interesting manner. He predicts what the audience wants to know next, and asks the right question to get a good answer. His follow-ups are the most amazing I've seen, he engages with the information and follows up whenever it's prudent. The world needs more journalistic masters.

    • @bennymoshe9919
      @bennymoshe9919 4 роки тому +2

      I absolutely agree!
      In my opinion, P. B-D is one of the very best interviewers out there! He is truly gifted, a younger Larry King-esque style I might even say..
      You can even see him usually make notes or alterations on his prepared document, most likely an outline of questioning for the interviews. He is extremely adaptable as an interviewer. Regardless of any post editing on the part of valuetainment, his adaptability creates a sense of flow during the interview and beyond that, he has the ability to skip over points for the sake of the direction in regard to the answers to his inquiries, then manages to circle back around to a topic or question while maintaining coherence and continuity throughout.
      And his capacity to do it across the board with such different and varied personalities also speaks towards his skill as an interviewer.

      You might have made some bad choices in the past, but you've also made some good ones more recently. For example, "overcame that after 13 years, been 3 years sober, and now at 36....starting back up at zero lol." It takes a lot of strength of character to overcome what you have, and that strength of character will serve you well going forward.

      I saw they have an invisibility cloak. That's been unclassified that we have that. I'm pretty sure I actually saw a video of one guy in one jumping in a tank. It appeared invisible, but like looking at a asphalt on a hot day and it was human shaped and running. That's the only footage that's leaked or been released so far I'm pretty sure. Do you know what I mean it's kind of more blurry than its surroundings but it blends?

    Dad(of beloved memory; some 20 + years now) was an intelligence officer throughout most of the 60's and part of the 70's: first in Nam for the USAF and later on analyzing Cold War data from both the Soviets and Chinese. Some of the latter was very much the "Do we launch our missiles or don't we?" scenarios. So while Mom and we kids were lucky enough to travel with him for that portion of his career, Classified was still a word to describe work at the end of his shift. "How'd your day go, Dad?" "Classified."😉

    Patrick, I appreciate your interview style. You sometimes challenge the interviewee's political beliefs without revealing your own. When you ask political questions, it feels more like you're presenting "devil's advocate" kind of questions. There are no "gotcha!" questions. You are sincerely gathering information with no agenda. This is what real journalism is. FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the other huge media conglomerates should take notes from you on how to interview people.
