Probably one the best interviews I've seen in awhile on any channel/podcast. Well done keep it up!
You know Andy's ears perked up when Matthew mentioned Javelins at 57:00
Absolutely scary dude, a marine grunt that is fucking brilliant. Wtf
They exist. Semper Fi
This man's nerd-game is STRONG!
This brotha said “xenomorph aliens” when talking about women fighting 🤣
Guys and gals in the intelligence community are super nerd, geeks and often funny as hell
Peter Zeihan's episodes on the Realignment with Saagar and Marshal is a great place to start with his work if anyone is interested. Great podcast in general btw.
Bro I was just about to chime in referencing that peter zeihan portion of this discussion
Starting at 56:30 or so
It makes me wish Mathew Reed still had access to the ears of decision makers.
But I listened to that 10-12 min section twice....the occurrences he describes sounds practical to me. If you’re thinking about it in terms of steps that might unfold....perhaps it’s speculation as to what would happen after Europe saw an influx of migration. But I don’t think it’s speculation that that migration will occur due to food/fertilizer shortages
Just mean he suspects that migrants flooding into Europe = right wing politicians coming to power over there.
In my mind it could just as easily result in extreme leftists taking power in an attempt to integrate them.
Either way it’s an easy recipe for dysfunction
Matthew Reed...what a unique guy!!! I could listen to you guys forever...please have him back, say a year or so to see where he's gone & done. Hate it that he can't talk about his "three letter agency" work...great interview!!!
Love the take on UFO's and nuclear weapons, there is something going on there, and has been for about 70 years now and yet somehow is STILL being underinvestigated.
Andy im sure you knew it when you finished it but that was a top 10 episode, no doubt about it.
Pretty sure it is not being under investigated.
He is an amazing storyteller. A great speaker and writer. If you have not picked up a copy of one of his books, you need to do it! They are hard to put down once you pick them up. I had no idea of his comprehension of military history. Amazing is the only word I have
Last time I was this early there where only 2 genders.
9:00 that's something Dan Carlin always brings up on his podcasts. How historians always look at the Roman and other ancient wars from a grand strategic POV, but meanwhile, at the end of the day, the guys on the ground were involved in large scale prison brawls. Ugly and personal.
As a history nerd, Matthew’s take on the issue with Rome is spot on. There were other issues added on but the military degradation is at the top especially Constantine recruiting barbarian tribesman ones they may have recently fought.
Thank you for turning me on to consuming more Peter Zeihan content Matthew Reed. Dear God man, you need to market yourself on social media platforms as an author. You're a ghost. I couldn't even find an independent author's website. And for us GenXers whose vision is failing us, please record your own audiobooks. You obviously love doing voices. Apparently it only takes a week to record a full novel.
I wish you all the success at your new career. Great guest that was an entertaining wealth of information.
His take on UFOs around military sites would be a lot more interesting had the Pentagon not already come out and said that they're drones operated by a foreign government. I guess he missed the extensive news coverage in his analysis. Better suited for Joe Rogan.
Never heard of this guy but I’m just a few minutes in and I already like him.
This is the second cleared hot podcast that referred to Jack Carr as George. Just an observation
Jack Carr isn’t his real name I don’t believe. Not sure of his real name
Same.
He said it once in a very early episode.
@@josephfox4661 Jack Carr does sound like a made up spy name tbh
His name has been public since 2019.
Andy, this has got to be the BEST interview all summer!! Matt is soft spoken Texas crazy genius. Peter Z has become my only reliable information source. Thank you so much!
The best podcast and guest you have had on so many levels. Excellent.
Fascinating stuff, even when the podcast took a “right turn”. Thanks Andy
Have a good week everyone
This feels like a Rogan podcast, but with Andy's touch. I love it!
He’s kinda been on that vibe
Dude I chimed in yesterday saying that having not listened to the entire sit down....this was definitely JRE like.
As soon as I heard them talking about UFOs it made me suspect that Andy might put him in touch with Joe
They didnt discuss chimps either...
Great interview. Please get Maj. Mike Perry on if you can. His stories are wild.
Great interview. One observation: Mr. Stumph, sponsored by BRCC yet Starbucks clearly visible on the desk…..
1. Andy is so full of himself, just listen to the BRCC ad “founded by amazing people”. Way to brag on yourself as the founder Andy as if we don’t already know that. 2. When you asked about why stay in Texas and he said “welp”, that was the most Texas/country thing I’ve heard all day lol
Lol.
Greetings from Round Rock & La Grange.
@@internet_internet my in-laws live in roundtop.. it’s an amazing community.. that’s where I moving next
Wtf is he sitting there with a fukn star bucks cup????? Good podcast though.
Matthew Reed is an interesting guy. Obviously very intelligent and well read. Great conversation
DRINK SOME GOD DAMN WATER
A lot of speculation mixed with history. Not to mention A lot of events need to combine perfectly for the for some of the book report quotes to come to pass with Russia. Bailed at the right turn.
This dude is the human form of the history channel
Andy hasn’t watched The Godfather series. Truly disappointing!
@@ucfkid67 He was too busy watching Navy Seals thousands of times. So I understand!
The Romans taught the people of their outlying regions, aka barbarians, their military tactics because they were in their Army. Those were Roman states and were part of the military not mercs. But still, during the Roman in fighting, they split off and used those tactics to take over their own areas and then expand.
Ummm that sounds familiar. Especially if they turned their attention back towards Rome
Awesome interview! But let just point something out Mr. Reed has a very south accent and for him to be able to pull the Russian accent as well as he did .... I mean sound the alarm ... Just saying!
All jokes aside I'm gonna buy his books because they sound awesome. Thanks Andy for the awesome guest !
I'm definitely getting this guys books, holy shit!
The main weapon of the legion, depending on the time period, v was either a spear or a gladius. The gladius was not 4' long. It was more like 3' long and if you ended up hacking at other combatants with it, shit had gone horribly wrong for you. Ideally they would be shoulder to shoulder with their fellows covering themselves and their neighbor with their very large shields and making short, fast and vicious thrusting/stabbing attacks not slashing. You would have to completely open yourself up to swing a sword in the kind of arc required to slash. That would not only hinder you, but anybody next to you in formation. That's the basic theory anyways. Those people had to have been something else though.
You're saying the military is having a hard time getting new recruits?
I thought about joining for a long time when I was young. I didn't. I couldn't get past the idea of putting my life in the hands of the government. After 20+years of GWoT, I sometimes regret I didn't serve, but I very much see that I was right about not putting my life in the hands of the government.
The people that run this country have not been making good decisions for a very long time.
🍻 The "Sir" thing was cracking me up. Some habits die hard.
* Andy holds up black silhouette reference pic to a woman in a full head/body cover *
Mmmm....nope
Always interesting to hear how the enemy of my people thinks. Truths mixed with lies. I wonder if he believes all of it.
I was in 3-21 at wainwright I heard about that 11 deployment and that it was really bad
Such an interesting guy, this podcast continues to have the best guest
What’s the best way to shoot down a UFO? Maybe a mass of old WW2 flack guns.
Get it to hit some of that shrapnel at high speed.
Look up Scalar weapons
For those wondering who the geopolitical analyst who he’s speaking of is:
Peter Zeihan.
Immensely smart. Great hair.
Thumbs up for a Mike Ritland interview 👍🏼?
Damn that guy can talk, luckily everything coming out of his mouth is interesting!
I couldn't sell a dodge truck either just on principle 🤣
I can understand that humidity. I live near the Ohio River and it is abysmal.
Grew up in and around Wheeling, WV. I hear you!
Andy you have to get a military guy on who claims to have worked with or around UFO’s. How about Bob Lazar?
I concur. There are a lot guys who don’t speak out because of ridicule but it’s becoming safer to talk now after the government admission of UAP.
Article 15 advertisement at beginning 😆😂😆
I knew Tiffany Kowalski in Houston TX 🤣
Great guest, really enjoyed it!
Brilliant podcast. Thank you both
48:50 I wonder how big of a part Garry Reid played?
Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Was an extreme embarrassment to the Roman legions
Ok how can I listen to this guy more
2:28:55 I was expecting Andy to tell him that on minute one, not by the end of the podcast 🤣
Great story teller! Definitely a car salesman!!!
I worked with an intelligence guy once in the Army. I was a regular 11B. It was pretty much his first time in the field. We dug fighting positions, his first time since basic. Then I took him on his first shit. Yes in the regular INF, you take a buddy to pull security, when you shit.
Aesome dude! Thank you, Andy!
I still have my Freedom Omelettes T-shirt. The one with an egg carton full of HEDP's.
EYYY Tomball native here
O shit Andy’s a alien!!
Great interview Andy! I watched whole thing at once
Tell the truth Matthew, you learned about the fall of the Roman empire and the renaissance from the big ball (spaceship earth) ride at Epcot didn't you. :)
Low octane speculation
People like Matt make me realize how dumb I actually am.
A question for you:
Bang for buck: 4bt vs new crate R2.8?
KBR used to be Haliburton.
Also this guy could be my literal clone personality wise,awesome guest and awesome host.
This is my new fave podcast.
We need a Garand Thumb (Mike Jones) guest appearance.
Good Morning!!!!
Awesome Matthew!!
KBR charged the US Government $25 dollars for each meal it provided
Very good interview, Andy. I thought this might be boring, but knew I was wrong within the first 5 minutes.
Watched on Stitcher. Had to come over and like an subscribe because it was just that good. Thanks.
Bring on Mike Ritland
this was fantastic
Matt : Hold on Andy, I need to talk more about the Roman Army........ :)
It was really cool to listen to this podcast. I'm from Tomball TX and have been in Houston my whole life. Thanks Andy
Someone give this guy a Russian acting job ASAP.
Good
Loved this one!! Please have him on again, awesome story teller
Awesome!! Need to have a him on again! Thanks an great podcast as always Andy!! Cheers
Best podcast on UA-cam!👌
i have seen 1st hand over 2b in 1 day.....keep on keeping on...
Roman Army could be paid in salt. Salt wars.
All I got is What The Effing F*ck… 🤯
15:00 That worry you feel requires reflections on the failings of the system, not the mindset of the individual.
The end of this podcast makes me think of OJs "if I did it, this is how"
Great show. Please have this man back.
Does anyone know of a good book about Rome?
Soldiers and Ghosts goes into really deep on the culture, tactics, battles, and life of the legions both native Roman and Auxiliary. Very good read IMO. It also covers the Hellenistic armies, too.
Quite a few. History of Rome by Michael Grant; The Fall of the Roman Empire: The Military Explanation by Arthur Ferrill; On Roman Military Matters by Vegetius; The Roman Army: The Greatest War Machine of the Ancient World by Chris McNab; Roman Soldier Operations Manual by Chris McNab; How Rome Fell by Adrian Goldsworthy; Romans at War by Simon Elliot
He was interesting ! Great Job Andy!
Oceans separating , your Southern Border is wide open

Stopped eating crayons 🖍 to chew on pens
