Shawn we all know your still cia 😂
Please interview Shaun Attwood. Ty for all these amazing interviews.
She's not privy to anything classified, right? So how do we know if She's disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, or a clever psy-op?
@@ACslater1still a patriot, need good ones inside the castle walls and outside
Shout out to all the non patreoms that have been here since the very beginning of the podcast. We love sir Shawn! You get us through our day with amazing guests and content!
@user-wz6zs3mn2y uhh. Yes. Of course. Everyone knows that. But all we hear about are shout-outs to the patreons but never hear about the non patreons. So I figured I would do a shout-out.
@@user-wz6zs3mn2ylol “generational wealth” - not even freaking close.
Lol. Right back at ya, my fellow commercial enduring
Cheapskate.
Came for the trans-SEAL transition
Stayed for the aliens
@user-wz6zs3mn2y I understand what you're saying however with many of the topics covered / what phrases/words that aren't cencored I can only imagine there is a very high percentage of these episodes that don't receive any money from UA-cam itself. Hence the ads shawn plays throughout the episode/ appreciation for patrons.
I can say one thing about nukes. I was stationed on MCBH Kaneohe during the Hawaii Nuclear Missile crisis. I woke up to an amber alert saying “ICBM Missile inbound, seek shelter immediately this is NOT A DRILL.”
I have never been more terrified in my entire life, I knew we had less than 40 minutes until being vaporized. We couldn’t get calls out because of the cell towers, alarms were going off. I experienced so many emotions. I finally managed to get one call out to my father and I got his voicemail. It makes me emotional thinking about what I said but I left my father a message saying.
“Hey dad, I know this won’t make any sense right now, there’s a missile coming for Hawaii. I just wanted to let you know that I love you so much, and please tell everyone how much I love them. Goodbye”
I sat on a bench waiting for my doom, evaluating my life and coming to terms with my own mortality and death. Then we found out it was an “accident”. Everyone was ANGRY. I was upset because I felt cheated. I was forced to evaluate my life and be okay with all the good and bad choices I made, never seeing my loved ones again and I had to find my inner peace. Still to this day I feel somewhat cheated, but am incredibly grateful that I’m alive.
The fear of Nukes is no joke, and I would never wish upon anyone to experience what I was forced too. Thank you for reading my story, I’ve only told my family this, but this interview made me feel like it was worth sharing with everyone.
Damn.
Thank you for your service. That would be an incredibly terrifying situation. Thank God you're here!💕
You make it sound like you're better for it tho lol so aye there that but yeah I remember that it was scary
The funny part is the person who sent that by mistake was actually someone who helped develope the Alert system. Lol
Man, that scared me just reading about your experience. Seriously scary stuff. Thank you for your service.
Sean… another wonderful show. Thank you for having the knowledgeable and thought provoking guests like this one. Does she say to read the book? Yes… that’s her job and passion. Did she get the information from other people? Yea, but they are the most credible sources anyone could speak with. Is there information or misinformation we do not know? Of course. This interview is meant to be thought provoking, not a military briefing. Sean, again, thank you. This conversation needs to be had.
Exactly!!!
So if this happens after 8 PM, with the current administration, we are totally screwed.
Don't worry, Harris will cover the night shift. 😂
i dont think hes in charge anymore after that debate. i dont think he was ever really in charge
@@patrickfitzharris8986 if she can get her lips around it…
man, either guy wouldn't know what the hell to do.
Absolutely won’t happen as Annie stated. We’d be so screwed, even in his 6 hour window of being “sharp as a tack”. 😂
The actual person running our country will do it. I’m sure that’s already been established long ago. His name is probably B.H.O.
Hey Shawn! Retired Air Force PJ here. Love your show and your choice of guests. Learn a-lot each episode.
Wanted to add some info: Annie correctly stated than no ICBM OR SLBM can be recalled, however, each of these vehicles CAN be stopped mid flight. If there is an inadvertent launch or a vehicle malfunction after launch it can be detonated and brought down during boost phase. I've watched it happen at Vandenberg where we test launch the Minuteman III ICBM. Plus the warhead is not affected. One can drop a nuke on a nuke without detonating the first. Anyway, just info.
Cheers brother.
Thank you for serving our country!!!
Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately not everyone has enough knowledge to challenge some of these statements and your input provides great ammunition for more dialogue. Much appreciated brother thank you for your service. And enjoy your semi retirement I know you are!
@@thehighlander1720 wonder why she didn't mention that? Maybe she doesnt know? I have not been impressed with her in other interviews. I do wonder if she is putting out disinformation, in her book Area 51 totally discounted the possibility of aliens being in the crashed craft in Roswell.
Very interesting and thank you for your service.
Great stuff. Theres NO way a civvie can fully grasp who you PJs really are, what you do, nor can we thank you enough. No matter-THANK YOU, and God Bless You and your family.
I could listen to her for hours she has the most calming voice and her intelligence is paramount.
I was thinking the same!! Her voice and cadence is so soothing.
1,000% Her words are very thoughtful and they resonate. Shawn is the best man, he lays out and allows the guest to speak and he doesn’t cut them off or rush the conversation. The atmosphere, the subject matter…. There is no better content out there imo.
Hey!?? What!!! Man get out of my head. Lol
Nope
I think she's full of shit.
Her voice is soothing to my soul. 50 minutes in and I already bought her book.
SRS is consistently dropping top-tier content.
Def top 3 faves list
@@thankfullyredeemedmaderigh7436gotta rewatch that! I forgot. Think I passed out after it started. Cause me, not quality lol
The last few years have gotten better and better. Guests are all great but different genres as the years progress and whoever does his technical side needs a shout out too. Every aspect has gotten better through the changes which is impressive and why I watch every episode. Shawn deserves his blessings. Keep it up!
@@thankfullyredeemedmaderigh7436I didn’t care much for that one, same for the surfer episode. That being said SRS is BY FAR my number one search on YT. #HugeFan!
@@chrishughes5472srs gots to be number one on the charts
Shaun I’m an Air Force veteran. Annie is interesting but mostly over dramatic with lots of inaccuracies. Good example is her hyperbole describing the “Black Book” it’s actually red and every missile control room, bomber cockpit and submarine has a copy of the same book. You were right it contains the play book for nuclear war and it doesn’t work unless the players know the play…not just the team captain. I flew bombers and we had to memorize the contents of the “black book” and all the scenarios as we had the same short time frame to respond to an attack. Obviously it’s way more complicated than Annie explains. She describes the worst most improbable scenario …a blind unannounced attack on the U.S. Believe me the President has many options in his book besides a massive counter attack. Also the President is not the only person who has the launch codes. There are backups in case the President can’t act including backup airborne command and control aircraft. Also we no longer sling megaton weapons at each other. With increased accuracy came a reduction in bomb yields. Very complicated ….not at all like Annie claims.
Wow, you sound in the know and good to hear you're voice in this
You are absolutely SPOT ON 💯👍👍 and this chick is out on the scene just perpetuating “fear porn” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I'm glad to hear this. Seriousness, i'm tired of hearing about nuclear war! WTF are people even doing talking about this in official gov't capacity? We've got psychos in charge and that is what worries me. They need to stop rattling the sabres and act like responsible people!
Thank you, I've been watching western NATO air defense systems working around my home for 2.5 years now and to think a single NK rocket or anything can hit the US is funny considering my family and neighbors don't even get out of bed during attacks
Alaska ?? Don’t ask me how we know.
She talks about how horrible it is that Trump threatened “fire and fury”, yet she left out the fact that Trump was the first president in history to set foot in North Korea and secure a peaceful relationship with them. Also, she claims that there are no weapons not even secret weapon programs that can stop nukes, yet later acknowledges that only a handful of people know about cutting edge military technology even within the government.
Shawn, I spent my entire career in National Security and am intimately knowledgeable on the topics in this podcast. This woman does your program a great disservice with her simplistic journalistic views, half truths, and inaccuracies.
I very much agree with this. Just listened to podcast on Spotify. Huge fan of Shawn, but she can’t possibly know the full truth about US capabilities, though she speaks as if she does. Also, I don’t think anyone needs help understanding how horrific nuclear war would be.
3:33:28 “are we the bad guys in some of these scenarios?” Man that speaks volumes of the morals of a man. I appreciate you saying that. Gives me hope that people that look like you see the error in your ways. As do we all, none of us will be immune to the judgement of the true God. May God continue to bless you on your journey.
“It’s illegal to have nuclear weapons in space.”
I would wager a hefty amount of money betting that we have nukes in space.
We do....
I agree.
Cmon guys the US govt definitely follows all the rules and regulations. We never break our own laws.
lol definitely agree.
I would say DEWs, not kinetic weaponry.
25:40 She complains about "Unpresidential" rhetoric of President Trump talking "Fire and Fury" vs. North Korea, yet does not follow with the FACT that Trump met for an absolutely unprecedented diplomatic meeting with North Korea by personally crossing the DMZ and it was Jim Acosta of CNN that was screaming "What about Otto Warmbier?" during the inking of the agreement between the two heads of state. Insanity.
She’s so biased, has TDS, and is wrong. She thinks that a firm statement by a President towards an extreme communist country is “unpresidential”, but will defend the endless list of atrocities of the CIA 🧐🤷🏻♂️
Are you really surprised with this shills resume ???
I thought the same thing, lol. Also Reagan misspoke about the sub and Clinton stopped nuclear proliferation. For someone who made it a point to say she doesn’t want listeners to know her politics, it was pretty clear!
@@pj5491always the damn left that is scared to tell you who they really are.
If that statement triggered you that much i can tell you would vote for a doorstop if it claimed to be Republican. You guys need to rewatch the first segment on tribalism thinking.
Shawn you have kept me company on my drives to work and drives back home from work with your podcasts! Keep up the good job, God bless you & family!
My father was in the hydrogen A Bomb in Bakini Atoll. Atomic bomb tests in Kwajalein, and Enewetak. He was in his 20's and died at age 55. I am now 66
Imagine how cool bikini bottom looked when ur dad first arrived ❤
I appreciate Shawn asking Annie how she can be so sure about the things she's saying. I have no doubt that some of these people she interviewed aren't going to be fully transparent on an issue like this.
@@TBrizzle she acts so certain that Al info she receives from people she interviews is the supreme truth…. How gullible can one be….
@@lillysimeoni5080 yep she is an idiot with an agenda. The only interesting thing in her book, was the Russian "farmer" spy in Wyoming calling his handler in Russia to report a nuclear launch.
I havent read the book but ive read sharp criticisms of the scenario of steps leading to launch being very unrealistic.
@@majorpuggington It sure is. The launch "scenario" had to fit her agenda of, nuclear war being unwinnable.
She seems to be shilling for the disarmament crowd. “Everyone I spoke to said I wasn’t fear-mongering.” Well, how convenient.
I have a hard time believing about 50% of what she says here.
“…that’s not an opinion. That’s a fact.” She seems confused as to what a statement of opinion is and how it differs from a statement of fact. What she said about presidents “threatening people with nuclear weapons” because “it’s dangerous…” uhhh…unless it’s not. 🤷🏻♂️ seems exactly like something someone would say if their statement lacked a factual or evidentiary basis and was indeed an expression of opinion.
Shawn, does your built in “BS meter” ever go off with some of your guests? I ask because of my newly acquired understanding of how devious our 3 letter agencies are: false flags, violence, creating false narratives. Great Show 🇺🇸🇺🇸
💯🎯👍
He did his best herding that cat! Listening to her and hearing her sources and some things she said, I took Shawn's intent as trying to drag anything factual from her. She hit some highlights - Russia, Iran, and Trump is the reason NK is dangerous. Shawn does get interesting people on to talk, though!
If you havent, please read her books. Theyre filled with sources and names.
Operation Belladonna, Gladio Aerodynamic or Prolog are literally the reason for our current word
@@GigiK66
Of course he's aware. He worked for the CIA
WOW! What an amazing interview. Thank you, Shawn and Annie.
Hijacking a top comment to say that there's a homepage that simulates nuclear strikes. You can type in your city and simulate all sorts of existing nuclear weapons detonating right on top of it. It shows the blast radius, damage, casualties, nuclear fallout zone....
It's called nukemap. Just Google it.
Great show! Thank you sir! The comments section is pretty brutal, though. Don't these people realize she's trying to sell a book, which is what you do when you write books for money? Hello? Capitalism? Selling things for money? Da doy??? This is investigative journalism, sure, and there's a lot of truth in the book but it is a work of fiction, folks, bear that in mind. Anywho, much gratitude for all your service, Shawn, love your channel. Mahalo.
Her book is a work of fiction?
@@childofkhem1.618like the Bible
Love your super trendy id picture , frankly. Are you trying to be gay or is it just natural ?
The O/U for the number of times Annie says "My book" during this 4 hour interview is 100.
Yeah she's pimping her book, big time.
Dude it should be 200
@@drewwalterjr yes, because her books are her bible and she thinks she knows more than anyone else ever will….
She also sounds like she’s telling “classified information” from the 70’s.
Almost like it is a book tour to promote her product...crazy.
Lets GO! Best thing about being a truck driver us I can listen to an SRS episode from start to finish. Learning more here than any "news" channel
Same here 👍
My fave part of pods and the Internet is you can research during a pod if you get lost. Can you imagine pre WW2 if people could have done that. 🤯
And I'm a low key Luddite.... BUT. It has a time and place, technology.
💯 % correct. I love this show.
Facts!! 💯
Voice + intellect + vocabulary + class + looks…. Just amazing
Amazing to me how many ppl say “this has always been going on” but leave out the internet and how massively that changes everything
Shawn made an excellent point, when he asked her about China & Russia seeing N. Korea’s missiles go over their country first. She tried to dodge that question bc then her whole storyline is dead. It was pretty cringy from there on & her constantly having to reiterate that she’s so “neutral”. 🙄. But at the end of the day, she’s an author & she’s here to promote her book. I think people need to keep that in mind while listening to her speak.
To me this is all fear programming, she's selling books.
@@cwreese345 totally agree!
She was very good at promoting her book discreetly but i caught how she was doing it. But i give her props on how she did it
She literally saying “my book” every 2 seconds. Shawn says “Hi what’s your name” and her response would be “well on page 2 in my book you can see my name”
Yea she got annoying about half way, like yes captain obvious nukes will destroy the world....we all know that....all she's doing is promoting her book on stuff everybody knows....
Def a mouth piece for the system. Certain topics straight away dismissing stuff. And no one person knows and the gov wouldn’t allow her to expose their defences like this. Good listen though
She talks about the US not being involved in bio weapons when congress had to admit we have bio weapon labs in Ukraine. Not to mention all the gain of function (bio weapons) that fauci is involved in.
Facts
Yeah she is a parrot. She will believe anything the military tells her.
She Said absolutely nothing that isn’t already known on the subject .. portraying that this is exposing insider stuff .😂
Straight up. “How you get access to them mfs?” -“ahhhhh the ORIGINS OF JOURNALISM COME FROM”
I just had to jump on here and say how blessed I am to have found your podcast. A patient of mine mentioned you and I've been watching alot of your interviews. I am a Christian and I feel God led me to you and your team to give me a "jump start" back into being a stronger Christian. I feel closer to him now than I ever had. I am starting the Laird products, ordered meat from Moinked and am thinking of doing the psychedelic therapy for me and my daughter. Thank you soooo much for putting the truth out there! BTW I loved your podcast that you and your wife shared. ❤
Lol you definitely need meds
Home run! Everyone needs to download her audio book narrated by her. Terrifying and amazing. Great work Shawn! Semper Fi
God Bless anyone who seeks the truth. bless Annie, Sean, and all of you who love the Red White and Blue. This show is only getting better and better. Rogan got the engines started for the podcast world. SRS is the jetfuel that will propel it to space.
I wish to see shawn on rogan one day. Definitely my top 2 pods
Shawn should do a interview with Kyle Rittenhouse. That would break the internet for sure.
😭😭😭
Rogan credits Adam Curry. But definitely.
The founding poders 😂
Propel podcasting into space?
Annie is the most intellectual and objective interviewee thus far. That is refreshing for podcasts in general.
This lady presents herself as very self-righteous.
😂 thanks for reminding me not watching this episode
As do all liberals
@@murin7185Yeah I can’t stand her either.
Put this interview on for a drive from Fort Worth to Houston Tx. What a fantastic listen and THANKS to both of you for making the drive better! Great interview and very informative. God bless
This womens book is the most frightening scenario I've ever had the privilege of hearing. Her detail and research are unparalleled to anything else I've ever heard on this subject! This book will allow you a different perspective of God,family,friends, and humanity. This book is a life changer. There are days we go through the motions of life, and then there are days that offer a glimpse into this gift of life and how important God's mercy is for us!! Because we as people get in our own way, instead of getting out of his way., and allow his gifts to flourish. Unfortunately, we are all one misunderstanding away from not existing at all!! Read this book, or listen to the audio book. Her voice is amazing, and her detail is scary. Thank you for your hard work, Annie.
Fear mongering is a great marketing technique.
She answers questions like a politician. Rants on about anything else
I hate the way this lady talks.
Oh I thought that was just females in general 😆
@@wydopnthrtlHAHAAAAH!🤣
Thank you! I thought it was only me man I was looking through the comments to see if anyone was having an issue with this woman.
She loves to determine what facts are. And yes it's fear mongering.
Just as I was going to take a nap, I have a playlist of her interviews that I sleep to. Her voice is soothing but the topics lead to some funky dreams.🇺🇲💪🇺🇲
Nice to see that I'm not the only guy here that gets off on Nuclear Holocaust. Hey if you're going to go might as well go out with a bang.😜
You dirty dog 😂
😂epic
Ahh napping to nuke war talk, i imagine generals doing that lmao
Thought I was the only one 🤣
I'm gonna have to try this. Her voice is soothing
Another stellar interview Shawn well done. Terrifying topic and much needed to discuss it. Thank you.
Most interesting video I've seen in a long time! Annie Jacobsen is WONDER WOMAN! 😎✌️
i bet you like shiny objects
🚀 💪
She is definitely left leaning
Thats okay. Everyone has a bias.
defined how?
It could be argued that Trumps rhetoric surrounding Nukes is what brought him enough respect for North Korea and Russia to come to an understanding and friendship. It's sort of like if two men open carry a firearm, they treat one another with more respect when its clearly obvious they possess the ability to severely harm or kill one another. Your average person is NOT suicidal.
If you think for one sec Putin is friends with anybody truly … big hell no kiss their A* or not they’re still the same individuals. ( Putin or Kim jong ) they play with trump. But they know any sitting us prez is a pawn a face. The decision makers the ones you don’t see already lined this up
Yeah people don't realize that's all that crazy dictator of north Korea wants is for western countries to notice him.
Bro who besides trump meets with Kim like that and walks across the border with him knowing once he crosses he could have been kidnapped or even just shot and killed. They wouldn't have got to him in time and he this.
Why not talk to your enemies and be "friends with them?" Remember Biden administration could not get a hold of Putin when a missile miss fired and landed in Poland, but you know who I believe could have?
There's nothing at all wrong with having respect for someone who is essentially your equal but in another country and treating them with respect even if you don't like them or get along with them.
Very wise.
100% Agree! If I remember correctly; The NK Little Guy told President Trump he had a “Red Button” and President Trump he also had a “Red Button” but it is Bigger than yours. After that they had a great meeting.
And she never mentioned Trump first US President to step in N Korea or shake NK LEADERS Hand
I have watched this episode 5 times since it aired. Ordered her book the day after I first watched it.
Sounds Biblical!
Very thought provoking episode. Well done !
Wow !!!! So u really absorbed her information. Now using that same energy go and cite where she got some of her information/"facts" from. You'll soon see that u repeatedly read some sci-fi.,opionated "info .fear mongering fact and fiction
I found this episode very interesting and informative. I love that she explicitly says journalism should be non-partisan. I don't care what party you associate with, just give me the facts. I'm so over the two-party divisive system. Great job, Annie!
22 minutes in and she tells us exactly what she’s doing, “I’m driving the narrative for the reader.”
Shortly after stating, "we got rid of all of our bioweapons" .. I refuse to believe she somehow missed Project Paperclip. With the help of the Germans, 20 years after Paperclip...1957 to be exact, Lockheed and General Electric had rudimentary antigravity. By '64, they'd pretty much mastered it. That makes every moment of her nearly 4 hours here, a total lie. Nobody with real power cares about Stone Age nuclear weapons and, sadly, powerful people have used the public fear (that they created) to strike the fear of God into citizens, so they'll timidly form straight lines, and give over more and more autonomy.
"Driving narrative" as a literary term just means put move your work forward. Think start, Middle, end.
I think that's normal thing for an author. It's obviously from her thoughts, background, biases. You can read another book on the topic with a different view or perspective on it.
Lesley, astute comment. Additionally, normally I really like her. In this interview I find her arrogant and condescending.
Clearly her meaning of that term and your interpretation are polar opposites. Sheesh.
I don’t care what you say about threatening is unpresidential… when trump showed the Isis leader a photo of his house and said f*CK around and find out was exactly how you handle that …
100% thinking she leans left!
I hate the concept of "Presidential." Outside of Reagan, they've been shit my whole life
@@dcrouch2970most definitely but that's the beauty of Annie. She is what a journalist should look like. We kind of don't know for sure what her political beliefs are which is key for journalist. Nowadays they aren't journalist they are activists charading as journalist (CNN, MSNBC etc) I just hope she understands the reality of the democratic party right now and how demented they are atm.
Exactly, you can’t be an extremist leader who has soldiers under you who wants to directly be responsible for the murder of American soldiers and for some reason citizens aswell. I understand killing the "American Warrior soldier" but wanting to murder citizens makes zero sense but that’s just how extremists work. If a president lets a man like that think he can hurt American soldiers then you should never consider being a president.
@dcrouch2970 of course she is, she went to an Ivy league school.
This is one of the few podcasts that I take seriously.Generally feel like the information gathered in these sit downs in genuine,for the most part.And an all around good source for unbiased information 🫡
The fact that she doesnt think that a politician could lie to her, tells you pretty much everything about the information...just saying.
Facts
What I love most about the SRS is that he's such an honest guy, that if he doesn't know about something he genuinely says "I don't know".
So many people not just in the podcast world, but in general, would generally bullshit and say something like "yeah, yeah" when they have no clue.
Here, we get the actual "I don't know" which is SO INFORMATIVE because there are so many of us as viewers that also don't know.
Sometimes I think he says he doesn’t know is to get a explanation for us dummies who truly don’t know. For that alone I appreciate his style of interviewing.
I find it odd that he got this far without knowing that ballistic missiles aren't recallable. I knew this when I was 10 years old in 1982.
Well I see she talks for 95 % of the time… I appreciate Ryan but it seems that he was unprepared on the subject, it just sounds no good with the many “I don’t know”. Real, but not prepared.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t get behind her she’s talking in smoke and mirrors. She deflects all the questions that are asked. She is a great story teller…
Exactly. She speaks in circles.
majority of you weirdos that all made your arbitrary ass comments commented before you even watched the video 😂 it’s content (entertainment) go outside.
Yeah. I agree. Just finished it now. Shes here to sell a book. Which is fine, but i didn’t really enjoy this one.
Well she did admit with her own mouth she wrote her book for dramatic affect
She just isn't as knowledgeable as she makes herself out to be. I'm by no means an expert on these topics but throughout the interview I constantly recognized the things she was saying as her trying to explain the dumbed down, '30,000ft overview' that she was told by her experts.
For the most part she wasn't outright incorrect, but often her explanations were so simplified or general to the point of being misleading.
I was stationed at Whiteman when the Minutemen were in the ground. It was good to remove them. The earth was constantly trying to flood the silos. Basic water removal was a continuous battle. A contractor I knew well told me of a time when a missile was being moved. The roads in Missouri are like every other road. The driver had an issue and decided to pull off the road with the entire escort. Not a good idea. A crane arrived in time to keep the thermonuclear device from sinking and tipping over. Careers ended that day. Fun times....
Dang
Mr. Ryan, thank you for this interview. It is a way for me to help people understand first the brilliance of Annie Jacobsen and second the reality of a nuclear strike! Your depth of knowledge and conversant style with Ms. Jacobsen was refreshing and informative. Please keep up the good work!
I worked on icbms specifically the minuteman III within the past decade. Don’t think this woman is spilling the beans on anything classified because she isn’t. She talks around points vaguely like a politician and is not an expert by any means. Not saying I am, but I’d take a lot of what she says with a grain of salt.
More like a block of salt. She’s definitely left wing and she seems to think people are lacking common sense.
Very true. I knew I couldnt trust her when she was concurring with the United Nations. If anyone knows a little bit of today's United Nations, they know that they are unelected people who pretend to be presidents of the world. Not to mention the creepy shit that comes out of Schwab and Harari's mouth constantly. They think of us normal citizens as less than an insect. They're the ones pushing for the digital currencies with expiration dates. The same with pushing for 15 minute cities. And tons more that I'm not going to mention here.
Also did you see my last reply or did UA-cam shadowban it?
@@CMoore8539- She hates Trump and supports the Democrats.
Exactly such as she wouldn't have the security clearance to know whether technology exist to recall an ICBM.
Shawn, you deserve a medal just for the way you handled this interview. She is absolutely insufferable, takes herself extremely seriously. Nothing is more enjoyable than have curious discussions with another real, genuine, authentic human being. She however exudes the opposite of that lol
Do you know this Shawn , she is painful a know it all to much. Poor Shawn.
Thanks for that Review Kept me from wasting 3:45 hours when I can do something else. Seriously Thanks!
@@stemtostern7611 Sooooooo? Feelings over facts? 😂
What an amazing individual to listen to. What makes this one even easier to listen to is the fact she is so humble about everything. Great interview.
Back around 1980, I was a kid of 17 and worked at the local gas station about 2 miles from one of the entrances to Naval Weapons Station Earle. Earle was and still is, the largest naval weapons resupply depot on the Eastern seaboard. Every so often just after sunrise, large 18 wheel trucks, painted in camo, would come FLYING down the highway in a convoy of 2-3 trucks. It was impossible to miss them. These guys, wearing BDU’s, would be driving like madmen, make it around Collingwood circle and head past again on the opposite side, towards the entrance to Earle on Hwy 34, driving 3 times the normal car speeds. They drove like they wouldn’t stop for anything. The obvious large round tubes clearly visible under camo tarps on the back. I’ve always wondered if those tubes contained conventional weapons or nuclear devices? I do know they store nukes there and have a submarine that docks there too. If you go to Google Earth, the area is now blacked out. You can also clearly see the NYC skyline North across the bay. But I’ve seen it docked there East from across the bay from Gateway National Rec Area, Sandy Hook. Go anywhere inside the warning buoys to the sub and word is, the security that paces the boating traffic on the dock, will blow you out of the water. I have no desire to test it and stay far away when going fishing. I figure if WWIII starts, I’ll be gone quick as I only live about 8 miles from there as the crow flies. Not much left of NYC either. My wife and kids will be getting extra hugs and kisses after listening to this. Great but disturbing interview.
Yall pay attention to how she refuses to talk about direct energy weapons, and the Lazer weapons we have that are all classified 😂😂😂😂😂 shes just here stoking a fire it feels like, especially once she starts talking about trump.
She probably can't talk about them yet, nukes are old news, kinda. Dangerous AF but also...old. We'll know in like, a decade, maybe.
That's what I was thinking about the whole time. Has she not done any research on stuff like aegis and thaad?
I mean she's on SRS to promote her book which is about 90% of the individual's that come on the show. She can't give everything away. You have to buy the book.
She’s an educated liberal. I’m sure she’s a nice person.
I sort of agree.
50/50 truth to bs ratio.
Similar to a disinformation agent 🤣
Annie is a good historian, but a less than terrible future predictor…😂
I wouldn't go as far as to say that what shes saying is BS but she definitely isn't as knowledgeable on the topic as she thinks she is. A lot of what she says is simplified to the point of being misleading.
More like 15/85. This woman is a fancy brick.
When she said "if you're really close to the bomb, sayonara" I couldn't stop thinking how wild it was to use a Japanese goodbye lmao
I had this same thought. Ironic considering we dropped 2 nukes on them…only to use a Japanese term so flippantly. 🙄
Most interesting show yet, For me. Excellent. Keep Kicking Ass Shawn. 🦅🇺🇲🦅
I remember when my brother participated in the invasion of Iraq with the U S ARMY 3rd ID as a Cav Scout. He would always tell me when we was able to talk he'd say, "Don't believe anything you see or hear on the news"
He was definitely telling the truth.
What Unit?
Yes.. my husband was in the first gulf war "Task Force Ripper" liberating the Kuwait airport and would tell me the same thing
3id ft.steward.
Shawn you’re a real one. Love Annie Jacobson. I’m sure this will be important
Let us know what you thought!
Annie Jacobson, you are one smart cookie. Thank you for all that you do. So glad you went on the Shawn Ryan Show. He’s my favorite. ❤
@@ShawnRyanShowbrilliant❤❤
@@ShawnRyanShowI thought, once again, incredible interview and insight not found in many other shows. Outstanding
One can't just quote "after me the flood" without properly attributing that quote to Napolean the Great
Another great show Shawn, Annie is a phenomenal author and fantastic guest. I spent 10 years at PRP bases and know full well what will happen. Over 25 years I still remember how to do command disablement for a b61.
I should probably not watch this before bed, but here I am.
Sarah Connor Skynet 😂
Same
Loved the episode but felt more like Annie was trying to make her money on the book rather than inform the public. "i want you to read it" thats why youre here hun
This is how she always is with her new books, if the book was like two years old or so she’d not be so promoting about it. Enjoyable interview anyways though
you know also the podcaster is monetizing this episode through her? No one here is doing anything for charity or just to inform the public for the glory
Well she is selling a book. I own it it's fantastic like all of her other stuff.
You a bit angry like me. “Hun.” Haha 😆
Love me some Shawn Ryan to get me through the work-day👌
Enjoy the show!
We have had no business waring in any country since Korea. A police action. We can not be the world's policeman in all cases anymore.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Before we raise any taxes on anyone for any reason first thing the American government needs to do is stop laundering our money back into their pockets through foreign aid and foreign wars it's a racket and and both sides of the aisle are in on it
@@jeffkalina7727 so you will let the chinese be the policeman?
In her book, she says, "not since JFK has a U.S. President seen combat".
George H.W. Bush was a Navy pilot in WW2. He was shot down, ditched in the ocean, survived adrift until being picked up by the Japanese and held as a POW. That checks the combat box in my book.
he wasn't picked up by the japs. never was a pow.
I may be wrong but I believe Bush was shot down/ crashed more then 1 time. It was the last 1 that u speak of that he got captured.
You're both wrong, George H.W. Bush was not picked up by the Japanese and he was not a POW in WWII. His plane was shot down but he was picked up by an American sub.
No he wasn't a POW, he got picked up by the Americans.
@@user-iu9vr2ce3p bullsh!t. He was shot down at least twice. Saved by U .S first n second time Japan captured him
Shawn you’re killing the game with these episodes. You’re my new favorite UA-cam channel.
We have improved our guidance systems over the years I know that for a fact
Write a book about it and state your sources....or is fact just another word for opinion? I'll hang up and listen.
I remember back in the 80's reading that the MX missiles were accurate to within 100 feet. Had to laugh about a 5 megaton bomb being off by that 100 feet.
I just wanted to comment and say how much I loved this episode, and I bought the “Nuclear War” book, and I’m very excited to read it.
This is my absolute favorite podcast of yours to date. What an amazing woman she is! ❤
hearing this woman say that fiona hill is non-partisan lessens her credibility on everything else.
Fiona Hill wasn’t partisan. She just likes telling the truth, unlike Trump and most of the republican party.
100% Fiona Hill is a Putin hater , pathetic.That non partisan comment got me , she sounded good for the first 30 , also spreading propaganda about Russia bombing round the ZNPP in Ukraine
@@Starfish2145 you should think before you type. not doing this basic and fundamental step makes you look like an idiot and a jackass.
Or maybe your view is slanted because you've been consuming petroleum billionaire funded "conservative" propaganda for decades?
If she didn’t have TDS I think more people would listen to her. Her facts are amazing and the access she has been given is unparalleled. She loses me when she says that Trump is more dangerous.
You are exactly the type of person she was talking about near the beginning of the podcast 🤣🤣
@@Mark-vr5hc you clearly
Don’t know what authoritarianism is, I was born under an authoritarian government regime. Vote for Biden and we will continue full speed ahead down the path to authoritarianism. Vote for Trump and we put a speed limit on it.
@@JR-hr2xs I like how you just assume I voted Biden, which I didn’t by the way so you are the one that has no idea.
@@Mark-vr5hc I didn’t assume, I was just a bit hyperbolic perhaps. Either way my statement stands. A vote for Biden is one step closer to a place you don’t want to see yourself in. At this point I don’t think Trump will be able to stop this train but I know we have a better chance with him for the future of this great country.
@@JR-hr2xs Voting for Trump or Biden won't make America better.
💀💀💀
My dad worked at the “aerospace data facility” in CO in the 90’s up to early 2000’s. Its an Air Force managed project. Was extremely secret & hush hush. I tried to ask him about it & he didn’t tell me until it was officially declassified. They monitor any nuclear threats around the globe. Crazy to see how truly vital that division is in the absolute worst case scenario.
excellent interview! I've seen and enjoyed many of Annie's other interviews, and there were new topics I had not heard discussed, so thanks.
I can't escape the feeling that I'm listening to someone that has ZERO actual experience tell me a story about people that told it to her. That's all. Like fear porn. I guess she could describe anything in an award winning way, but honestly, this is way too serious to hear it from a NYT writer.
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!! 👍🎯
100% she has the full on msm propaganda about Russia, we are all too well imformed about these topics
What’s hard to understand? Nukes will kill us all…
Exactly 💯 just made comment saying pretty much same you just said. Glad I'm not only person who not falling for her bs
"A hypersonic missile will take an hour where an icbm will take 30 minutes" everything she said is easily proven wrong except a nuclear winter because we haven't had one. How about "Ivy Mike was 10.4 megatons and our biggest" when everyone knows or can look it up and it's castle Bravo at 15 megatons. I haven't heard her mention the Tzar Bomb that the Soviets detonated which was 50 - 59 megatons. She's totally ridiculous.
Sean you are unquestionably a good guy. Thank you for your service. You served the Good. That’s what I think.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this subject and how well it was presented. Thanks Shawn and Annie!
Utterly Fascinating Conversation Thank You Both !!
Isn’t this the lady who propped up that Russia gate bullshit on Rogan ?
I bet I can guess her politics. I would like to see CNN interview her based on the mental clarity of our current president.
🤣💯
🙌
I whole heartedly agree about listening to varying news sources. It's the only way to find the overlap. I check out Fox, CNN, WSJ, BBC, Sky News and Aljazeera. When I get grief for it, I remind people that I'm a Registered Independent, and I vote my conscience and I can't do that if I live in an echo chamber. When it comes to animals, you follow the food; when it comes to people, you follow the money. The love of money is the root of all evil. GREAT guest, Shawn!
They're all bought and paid for no matter which wing you lean on
Well said!
It’s surprising how many people miss quote that verse and say “ money is the root of all evil”
@@PeterH269 Thank you. Agreed - money is a gift from above, the love of it is a temptation from below.
This deserves a second interview, I first heard of Annie Jacobson on JRE. Since then I have read every single one of her books. She has an incredible writing style that I wish was more common. When you can reach a high schooler or a 70 year old admiral that is a triumph.
I agree with you. I have read three of her books and her writing style is so informative and easy to digest. I'm looking forward to this new book. I learn so much when I read these books. I'm 75, had a great education and in spite of that, am amazed at how much truth was hidden from us for since WW11
what a great guest!!! I just got 4 of her books, right now on Operation Paperclip ....love listening to her speak, what a great wealth of knowledge and full of compassion. God bless!
"Read the book" Annie Jacbosen's most famous quote
Spot on
Makes me wanna scream . Luckily I pirate all of her stuff on audiobook.
Yeah, she made this interview into one long advertisement. It's a shame that she could've been cool about it for people listening to her for close to 4hrs.
"My book...my book...my book..." This woman is a fear-porn mongering shill, nothing more. BTW, the Pilgrims called, they want their shoes back.
So, she has some stuff wrong and some stuff right. But I'm pretty skeptical of her. She has a very soothing voice which just makes my skepticism higher.
Sound logic there man 😂
you sound bright, like an appliance bulb
You have the logic of of a plastic fork. Please don't reproduce, thank you.
Agree - training?
The president's cognitive ability is extremely important....it puts in perspective of how our government officials are elected, what their qualifications are, the state of their health, and how long they get to stay in office. Our lives literally depend on it.
👍
Even if Biden just has a bad dementia day once a week, imagine it being the day the missiles fly. Crazy that people accept that level of incompetence competence and illness
@@Seamunkies and right now it's terrifying how Biden is crossed over and doesn't understand a thing. Who is actually making these massive decisions in the world right now.
Joe can't hardly string a sentence together and he's in charge of our nuclear missiles. Smh. God have mercy on us.
IKE was our last president, the rest, and all of us are just puppet’s. I should know, I created Kermit and miss piggy.
BS meeter Is at 200% regardless who she is talking to. I love you Shaun, you and the work you do has helped me a lot!
This lady is something else.
She is a typical, left wing nut. She hardly knows anything that isn't common knowledge, and certainly doesn't know any cutting edge information.
Shawn this was by far your best interview. And you do great interviews. I hope Annie is a recurring guest in the future. Just fascinating. Thank you sir!!!!!
Such a better interview than she had on Rogan simply because Sean actually lets her speak instead of interrupting her mid sentence for two hours
Agreed.
I cannot believe she said Russia has exploded weapons 8-9 times around that Nuclear power plant when it has been proven by several independent reporters on site that it was the Ukraine forces that did it every time while it was being guarded by Russian forces and Russian technicians were on site helping t6o keep it running. Our Military and MSM have been lying about everything over there and I am sick of it.
I agree, because the sources I trust confirm what you say you heard. Russia is the only adult in the room, it seems!
Join up and you'll see not everything you hear It is always printed on paper
Repeating Kremlin propaganda I see? Who are these independent journalists you speak of? Do you have any sources that are not AlJazeera or RussiaToday?
@@matthewlawley3376 don't need to know whats going on. Good fruit doesn't come from poisoned trees, you get poisoned fruit. Ukraine is/was meant to be a European version of israel. Just another fucking gangster proxy state.
Agree. Her commentary should be taken with a grain of salt. Her sources shared with her what they wanted her to present and she didn't add any facts to what used to be taught in school. Shawn did his best to drag facts out of her! Lol. At least she had the president respond in her scenario. In school most of my classmates advocated for sacrificing with no retaliation.
Jacobsen is a great person to have on the show Shawn. You read off her accomplishments and what made her heart smile was when you said,...."a wife and mother of two sons".
I really wondered when you were going have Annie Jacobsen. Totally stoked that you were able to host this episode. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you both and your families
I just finished the book and it was extremely informative but very depressing. I really enjoy how the author writes and is interviewed by Shawn and other interviews she has done. After reading the book, it makes me very worried about what could happen. Thank God I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ where I’m not supposed to be worried but it’s hard not to be due to the ever changing current state of our world.
Thank you Shawn for interviewing Annie. Amazing
I usually lurk in the comments but wanted to give a huge thank you to Mr Shawn Ryan for not only the content but for taking us along on your journey. Watching you morph into the person you are now and your candidness along the way has been lifesaving to so many. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing with us!
The second I seen this interview pop up all I could hear in my head is her voice saying you have to read the book 10,000 times😂
Making an entire career out of essentially playing telephone
Been watching clips for eons but have never had the time to really watch a full episode. This is the first!! Annie is super interesting. Dont agree with all her ideas but shes certainly put in the time and work to know what shes talking about. An excellent show Shawn...!! Ill be back!!
One of the best podcasts so far. With so many great ones it’s tough to say which ones are the best, but I may watch this one a few times.
Her body language changes when she’s asked certain questions that you can tell. She doesn’t know the answers to, but wants to sound like she does. Not that she doesn’t have some insight, but I think we all know that she does not know everything, only what she is being told.
Orrr... she can't reveal the truth explicitly
Between the options of you being a body language expert or just watching too much procedural cop shows, I’m going to think the latter.
I’m sure the defense department is eager to give her all the secret information so she can put on a bookshelf in Russia.
@@martinezjames83not to mention, her book is based on FACTS! So fact check her lol not only that, ready here is the kicker, she literally says and explains everything in her book besides the facts in the book, her scenarios are all based on hypothetical thoughts that could possibly happen based off of the facts that she has learned by discussing them with the actual people who were a LARGE part of her “findings”.
@@gosnellioyeah because that’s what she is doing. Possibly the dumbest person to comment. Congratulations.
I never ever listen to something this long or even on this subject, but Annie is incredible. She’s connected and it shows. Thank you for having this informed guest on your show.
HA! She suckered you with her snake oil voice...
Absolutely best interview of Annie Jacobsen I’ve seen. I read her book based on your interview. Joe Rogan didn’t even read the book and tried to interview her … on space aliens!
Fantastic interview. I was able to glean more insights from this interview than I was able to get from Annie’s many other interviews though I know I haven’t seen them all. Can’t wait for you and Annie to have another long form sit down .
This woman speaks her opinions as facts...
