So true when he said, paraphrasing here"we have the right to be happy, but not at the expense of our neighbors, we have to co-exist". And "the primary job of Congress is protecting American national security interests and making sure our society gets stronger, NOT undermine the purpose and intent of your office". Some in Congress are intent on taking away individual citizens right and also fundamentally changing government to a more authoritarian regime
You misspelled GOP. 😂
I agree. The right and the left are trying to take our freedoms.
@@Damacles9 your a troll
I guess you missed the part where he said your rights and freedoms were granted to you by the government. False.
@@apex71 actually the constitution says these individual rights are self-evident and should be protected by our government by the people for the people
I was a Peace Corps Volunteer Bolivia 2000-2003 but stayed 5 years...I love this guy's stories
Says to the skeptics do americans leaving the usa mean were mystery babylon about to be wiped out in nuclear war? I have my doubts.
Its cia approved
Mr. Bustamonte. is probably the most fascinating I have seen on your program. He held my attention deeply. I originally began to watch simply because it was the next video in line and your videos are part of my routine. I have learned several bullet points from these few minutes of his discussion, the importance of questions being able to redirect energies and engaging within individuals. Absolutely fascinating. If this young man has a book, I am most certainly going to read it. Thank you for introducing me to AndrewBustamonte.
And when are you going to investigate your "American interests" foreign policy that determines that no African country has a right to its own resources?
You do know that your CIA foments coups to overthrow and often assassinate any African leader that shows signs of governing for his people, don't you? These ambitions do not include attacking the USA, but rather to feed, house and cloth his people, using the natural resources found within his borders.
American national security interests include economic interests, at the expense of everyone else's economic interests, and its protection by any means, fair or foul.
And it is really only the one percent who benefit!
I love listening to that guy. He is so clear with his communication.
One of the best interviews yet. Good job David and look forward to your next video.
Finally. Bustamante is interviewed by someone with more than two brain cells😂. Finally a good line of questioning for this dude..
Yea, the same guy who thinks men can get pregnant? Lol please
pakman didn't really offer any pushback i.e. the cia's history of interfering in democratically elected governments such as Chilie in 1973, Iran 1953, and Central America via the united fruit company
@@marcoszavala8435 bless you. I know you wont engage with this but.
Men, the gendered term, can apply to a person birn female who has transitioned into a man. That means they can still have female reproductive organs.
From this fact, i can show its a fact if you want, we can say these men with female reproductive organs can get pregnant.
Try and engage
@marcoszavala8435 Why don't you call in and ask David that? I'll tell you why. It's because you're incapable of understand the concept behind your question 🤦🏻♂️ You must also have only 2 brain cells 😂
I understand your point although the interview was conducted in a specific allotted time frame which probably didn’t give way to more specific issues of CIA history so David kept it mostly Current Events and the like. I read in the comments that Bustamante was on Lex Friedman so perhaps that interview is longer and more informative.
As a person who works in federal government consulting industry across agencies for 16 years - Bustamante is 100% correct that the majority of people who go into the national security arena are more progressive and liberal overall. And it’s also entirely correct to say each agency has its own culture. Even in DHS - there are a lot of more liberal people there. Be glad there are both “sides” because Bustamante is also correct that the world is not as ideal right now as one would hope.
For example- I’m left of center, but I don’t care about the “feelings” or childhood trauma of sex traffickers, drug lords and I’m no longer naive enough to think they can be “rehabilitated”. Or, in DOD, you had better be pretty cognizant that Putin, Xi Jinping, and many of their followers, are psychopaths and “negotiating” with them not to release some bio agent somewhere in the US water supply. Negotiating with them would be like negotiating a car ride with Ted Bundy or a dinner date with Jeffrey Dahmer - sure, you can try - but you’re stupid if you think negotiating with them in normal terms will never matter to them, and you better be on your toes, and have your gun ready.
It seems you are right about Putin, Xi Jinping, etc being psychopaths. Yet I wonder how they can reach these conclusions definitively? Thanks.
Which is the danger of DJT, he thinks he can, totally delusional
@@toriless Agreed. And this is another important reason for liberals and progressives to consider roles in national security. Those checks and balances at the ground level are what keeps the federal system from devolving into an autocracy.
I don’t see the “but” with which you start your last paragraph. I’m not anywhere near the center, I’m left wing. I agree with you point for point on what you say.
@@i.ehrenfest349 Thats even better.
Anybody could make a personal CIA story up, there is no way to verify it.
I am in the safari club, I have 300 passports, it is like I don't even exist. This isn't even me writing this message, it is AI.
Exactly, then grift $$$ out of people and claim to be a consultant!
i kinda hate this bustamante guy. seems like a hard-core grifter.
This is cia approved
@@therxlord3694 And I have heard another presentation just like this one, where a person claiming to be ex-CIA tells his cool stories, and by the end of the presentation he's explaining how the skills he supposedly learned at CIA could be useful for YOUR business. It's either a popular thing to claim to have been CIA, or it's how ex-CIA people tend to transition to civilian work.
The guy in this presentation has the appearance that Jonna Mendez (supposed ex-CIA chief of disguise) would call a second-rate disguise. But then, maybe that was the intention...
David, Thank you. This was a very interesting conversation. Mr. Bustamante was articulate and clear, your questions were thoughtful and encouraging for him to answer. Great content.
Boy you sure buy it all hook line and sinker on Mr David's channel eh
@@romper4444 sure do!!! Just like you Fox and OAN groupies.
I'm amazed that he doesn't ring an alarm for how Trump would make America one of the chaos countries he describes
He would never do that. His business makes money from Trump fans, this guy is on Rogan all the time.
Don't be one of these libtards who think he is Hitler lol
@@jool7793 Yeah, I assume he knows how dangerous tRump and his followers are, but I believe he down plays it in fear of losing money that he can use to make a better life for his family. He does say he plans on leaving the US, because he doesn't think it will offer the opportunities to his kids that it once would.
Not everyone has to be political all the time
Grow up
Congratulations David - great interview. This is by far the most fascinating conversation I have heard in a long time. Your questions were excellent and Mr. Bustamante's answers were extremely clear and to the point.
Interesting convo
Great interview, David. I got a lot out of it. Love to buy Andrew a beer sometime
You and 10,000 others but you can buy me a drink and we'll talk 🤣
The artistry on both ends of this conversation, Is absolutely beautiful.
Oh yes. Such an artful job by David. Your such a pathetic ego stroker. Boring. Easy questions.
Absolutely FABULOUS conversation!!! Thank you Mr. Bustamante for your service to our country!! 🇺🇸🗽
Shutup hahaha
People need to be sceptical and careful of Bustamonte because even though he seems smart and well-spoken, he is quick to talk about his subjective opinions as if they are objective reality.
Not once did he say 'I think ...' because he's repeating his training not his feelings
He seems extra suspect to me.
I can deny this guy is smart, but I don't trust him.
My thoughts as well
I don’t think he was really an employee of the CIA. He may of had some tenuous, superficial connection. But likely not an agent. It’s suspicious that his long green comes from “training” wealthy wannabes in spy-craft. I had a pretty good education. I’m certainly not an expert in diplomacy, foreign affairs, military history, or any other such things. But, I do know enough to recognize that some of the things he says, are total nonsense.
I could listen to this guy all day. Andrew is such an interesting person with engaging opinions and stories.
Thank you for the questions you asked. I found this very interesting and informative.
Andrew is 1000 times smarter than what delusional David ever could be…
It's Hollywood Bustamonti!
David Packman is a very good interviewer.
Not
He really cut in twice when the guest was saying something that I wanted to hear, and on top of that it seemed that Packman didn't fully get the breadth guest's information. But I do appreciate Packman.
This was an absolutely fascinating interview. I could watch many more episodes of it!
He is all over youtube, have fun 🎉
I've only watched about 7 mins of this, but I can tell you that the interviews with older former officers are much more interesting because they can actually go into quite a few details about the actual operations they were involved with...a really good one i watched recently is The Team House - The first female spy in Moscow.
Jack Barski is a good one to watch. He was a Russian spy here in the US
This was an excellent interview. Thank you!
Would be helpful to know Andrew’s take on MAL Documents Theft/Obstruction case, whether a detailed “Damage Assessment Report” covering potential security threats has likely been issued by ODNI, if such conclusions have been shared with foreign allies as they may also be impacted by those mishandled docs, and if a security threat still exists the longer the case is delayed (thank you, Judge Cannon) and the suspect is neither detained or given a verdict.
I've seen him run cover for Trump on a right wing podcast. I can't take anyone seriously who does that.
My, that’s disconcerting then.
@@lyfsabychwhat right wing podcast was he on? I’d like to watch it.
@@debrakron9049 he's been on a bunch, but the one I saw was Andrew Schultz. He made no less than 5 false or misleading claims within the first 12 minutes and I had to turn it off.
Great questions David!
Really enjoyed this exchange.
Very informative. Hope this helps many understand how important government is! Thank you
You can write off MAGA.....
I work in government...most of their importance in self generated and highly overrated.
Lol who are you referring to?
It isn’t
The person who said(like Tucker) that the war in Ukraine is NATO's fault and went on to say Russia must win wtf
Phenomenal interview! Great questions, David!
Great interview!!
This was a wonderful conversation. Ty
I was reading some book written by an ex CIA guy, the mental makeup required to be one is extraordinary.
I wonder if he wrote the book I read
What an incredible interview!! Thank you David and Andrew
Loved this one. Excellent interview! This gentleman's experience is super fascinating.
Thank you Andrew! I love learning from you!
Epic episode. More like this. Very insightful. ty
Fascinating interview!
David, I greatly appreciated this interview, not just for the substance it conveyed, but by the method which it was conducted. You asked articulate and insightful questions without attempting to suggest that you were the expert, not the interviewee, And you did not try to guide his answers in a particular direction. A good lawyer tries to guide a deposition to get information helpful to his client. But a good journalist doesn’t try to guide the interview in this way, and you didn’t. Kudos.
Amazing interview, David.
I'm incredibly skeptical of this guy; especially given some of his ridiculous 'self-help' products.
Same here
This guy is snake oil salesman
I listened to his analysis of Israel Palestine conflict on another podcast and it was incredibly shallow and he gets some facts wrong but insisted he was correct. Of course this guy can't prove that he is ex CIA either.
Me too. He seems like the type to manipulate you by talking in a way that makes him seem smart and charismatic while not saying much. And he is on a lot of rightwing podcasts.
Vote blue. And make sure to get your family, friends, neighbours and collegues to vote too.
Voter turnout is what will decide this election.
@@jool7793He is a snake oil salesman. Just the freaky hair in this video is a sign to back off.
David, that was a fascinating interview, more like that please..
Lets have a guy on the show who is maybe the most skilled liar and deciever you could ever imagine. Then believe anything he says..........hmmmmmm.
Andrew: "Trust me, bro."
David: "Absolutely!"
THANK you srsly th
yeah ... my gut says be wary about what this guy says.
If that’s how you guys read this interview, you clearly haven’t watched a lot of the Pak.
@@Unhingedanduninformed I've watched enough to know that if he felt his prior employment claims were even the slightest bit uncertain, he would have introduced him with a modicum of skepticism rather than as a clear matter of fact. How did you read it?
Great questions David and a fascinating guest
Really appreciate the conversation , interesting and informative.
To me, this was the most fascinating interview that you have ever done.
Damn didn’t know Russ was in the cia 😆
What an incredible man! Thank you for your service to our country.
It's been great to watch the Bustamante's and their progress over the years, love it!
I have only replied to 1 or 2 UA-cam post over the last 20 years. I don't remember what was the topic. This was 2 very smart people that captured my mind. Andew open my thinking about intel as a retired law enforcement Deputy. Great interview!
Fascinating interview!!! Don’t know how I missed it… thank you, David!
Great interview
Really interesting. Great interview; wish it had been longer.
Very interesting interview 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Excellent and informative!
Thank you!!
Excellent interview and info. A+
What a fascinating and delightful guest !!! The longer the interview lasted the more I liked this guy. THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU.
(When I was in the army in the 1960s, my work was ultimately for the NSA. I was amazed at how much the army lied to us about true nature of our work was. Computer chis from about 59 years ago made my "human" work obsokute.)
Absulutely fascinating!!!
Thanks!!!
You can take the part around the twenty one minute mark and make a UA-cam short titled, "the difference between democrats and republicans is looking forward versus backward thinking"
It really does summarize the main disparity. Democrats look forward and think about the future, republicans look backwards and think about the past.
Put another way, Democrats have learned absolutely nothing from history while Republicans try to conserve historical wisdom.
Republicans are consumed by hatred, jealousy and bitterness
Sure they do, Elizabeth Warren and Biden are trying to crush crypto while Trump just said he wants the future of bitcoin to be in this country. Get over yourself and leave your leftist bubble.
Right…
Not really. It's a pretty childish level of analysis. I guess it sounds good though. 👍
This man is a PR wizard. He sure put a friendly spin on unelected government.
Can’t wait for Parkman to go back to lecturing us on how the deep state is a crazy conspiracy theory now.
Maybe he never left the CIA and is doing PR and recruitment.
We appreciate your efforts in bringing us great content.
Wow, this was great! I learned so much!
Hi David, this was a remarkable insight into how govenment works. I think Andrew Bustamante was beyond amazoning; was very credible and forthcoming into his experiences in his prior line of work. I absolutely resonated with the art of questions and perseption vs perspective. WOW. Kudos for such a fabulous and inteligent reporting/interview! Outstanding!
Excellent interview!
Love the interview, very interesting
I think this is one of the best interviews you have ever done. Very interesting.
This is a very positive conversation, David, picking on Andrew’s switched on brain. Andrew, you should do more like this. You have a great perspective.
Fascinating conversation
That’s the dude from the Lex Freedman podcast over a year ago who used his extensive experience in “intelligence” to tell us Russia would roll Ukraine in a couple of weeks.
Most 'experts' thought exactly that.
This was the consensus at the time. People didnt expect russia to be so unprepared and ukraine to come together as a nation in the way it did.
Ukraine IS actually using. Lmao
@@ghstletter5978Using?
Why do you feel like this is a ‘gotcha” ? Everybody thought this at the time, and quite frankly it’s a miracle eastern Ukraine didn’t immediately fall with the advantage russia had on them.
Thus one of the most INTERESTING pieces I have ever seen on on UA-cam. Thanks.
Awesome interview.
....thank u both
This was interesting. One of the best shows I have seen from you. Asking in a way about the job as not to get too specific to touch on things that cannot be disclosed but getting fascinating insight into what skills and techniques are necessary to do the job. Also the political bias where both of you weighed in.
Wow. Interesting interview David. It sounded like a movie but real life. 😮
That was really interesting. 👏🙂
Excellent interview!.
I loved the difference between perception and perspective.
He in on Discovery Channel on the series "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch'! Great show!
This was fascinating! Thanks
I have seen this guy in other podcasts. He seems to say a lot of nothing and isn't exactly dropping truth bombs for someone who was a secret spy.
You are an absolute moron. Dude is a wealth of knowledge. He’s only saying things you don’t like, that’s what you are bitter and negative, undeservingly
My buddy was like you have to listen to this guy. I was like he said absolutely nothing which isn't common knowledge.
Why would he drop truth bombastic a former spy? So he can get arrested?
Truth bombs are boring 😅
you can find awesome conversations with Andrew on Julian Dorey podcast, Danny Jones podcast, not just rogans. great guest David.
Super insightful
Very, very interesting ❤❤ Thank you, David and Andrew
Loved this video!
Interesting interview.
Thank you.
I've had family in the CIA, take what this guy says with a grain of salt.
David this is one of the best interviews you’ve done. Andrew is truly smart and very rational. Many of his comments open our eyes pertaining to how our govt agencies work. Listening to people like him can make you smarter. Great job 👍
Great job 👏 great interview
He left the tooth with the cianide capsule in it at home for this interview.
I don't understand how he goes around not getting his tooth fixed ESPECIALLY since he's in the public eye (online interviews, etc) Ridiculous
@@patriciamckeon4650maybe its in case he gets lockjaw?
He need to go the dentist before coming on podcasts
Maybe the missing tooth is part of his disguise.
Maybe his years of training have made him invulnerable to embarrassment/vanity as it'd cloud his ability to see clearly during an operation.
State and local law enforcement, unfortunately, often start out middle to far-right. This is especially true in rural America. It is not good for America’s future. Fox News and Hannity plays on a lot of patrol room TVs-sadly.
John Kennedy would have been called far right today. That’s why so many are leaving the Dem party and Dem run cities and fleeing to red states. The extremism is turning so many. They’ve gone too far, against the best interests of America.
8:24 That wink is priceless 😂
I’ve listened to some other interviews with him and get the gut feeling I wouldn’t trust him to be the most informative source of info. Idk that’s just the vibe I got.
I said the exact same thing
He’s gotten multiple “predictions” wrong
I think that is part of the job. Miss Information
Already his smile seemed wrong at the start of the video lol, think I'm gonna skip this one
Great program!😊
Great interview! What an interesting guy.
Thank you for your service. It's very valuable to us
Thank you
Great content!
One of the better interviews
That was fascinating ❤
Thank you gentlemen this was both interesting and enlightening.
This is the best of all your videos, David. 👍🍻
Interesting conversation.
Love this guy, his Lex Fridman interview is great too!
I was watching Andrew on Lisa Bilyeu's channel the other day, and really enjoyed his talk. It's great to see him here! 😃
