- I talked to Mike Pompeo for an hour. He often surprised me, and sometimes ticked me off.

Pompeo was CIA Director and then became Secretary of State.
Now he might run for president.
This is our full interview.
He’s a very smart politician.
He surprised me by saying a bunch of things I liked, but also a lot I hate.
He says legalizing drugs is a “terrible idea” and Edward Snowden should be killed.
But I’m glad Pompeo's willing to debate. Many politicians won’t.
I’m also glad he has a sense of humor.
One thing I have learned a half century is NEVER trust CIA.
They lie, extort, manipulate, and murder to achieve a very shady unknowable version of America. It might be a good version that we would want and desire, but the people determining that version are arbitrary and change from year to year. The agents might be of impeccable character and virtue, but they get indoctrinated into the Family all the same - self justifying against the swill of humanity. The reality is that they ultimately prop up the clearly despicable corporate-political class that rules our nation. I doubt they have a better alternative but it is what it is.
JFK would agree
Absolutely, this interview validates this 100 percent. I'm floored listening to him ignore the fact the government was completely infringing on American citizens rights and just brush it off like nothing. If it was up to him journalism would be illegal. He's no better that Chinese and Russian leaders.
@@XhectorX1417 the elites hate those who stand in their way. If he had your way, it would be criminal to look at him wrong
17:23 MF said that Edward S. should be epsteined. Sick F
CIA: we have reviewed ourselves and find ourselves innocent and deserving of a raise.
That politicians talk 😂
They need to be abolished they’re a tool of the globalists
NOPE
lol !
Pompeo's Defence of unconstitutional behavior within our government is pretty concerning to me.
Even Hitler said to his people, "Trust me!"
The classified document stuff? What unconstitutional stuff?
He is from the intelligence community. You can’t believe a word they say.
I don’t believe a word he says regardless.
Very true!
Once CIA, always CIA
And no one else says it en masse. I don't trust him in the slightest.
Like Bush Sr.
@@Reply-who-me Bush Sr was CIA agent?
@@588holly should not trust any politician tbh
Imagine voting for a glowie
The director of the CIA saying, _"You can't steal stuff, you can't steal secrets, it's unacceptable,"_ is the funniest thing I have seen in at least two months.
I wonder what his opinion is about James Comey leaking internal memos to the press?
Yep, and this is coming from the director of an official government organization whose sole purpose is to steal information and documents from others. It’s just a matter of one justifying one’s own actions as a means to pursue one’s own interests. Everyone else, doing the same for their own different interests, is "wrong." Got it. 🙄🐂💩
He was pretty clear on that
The CIA "Take what you can, give nothing back"
John should have asked him if taxation is theft, or if eminent domain is theft, or if asset forfeiture is theft.
@@LovingPrinceTamayuki
He would probably say they weren't and anyone who fought against it deserving of summary execution.
Ed Snowden didn't release the documents to the world, he released them to Glenn Greenwald. Glenn won the Pulitzer Prize for the Snowden story.
Your point?
@@SuedeStonn I responded to a lie.
@sherronpitts3021 he did release the documents to the world. There is a way to take it up the chain of command. I worked with Snowden he did it so wrong. Could have taken it to the captain of the base.
@@701garage aren't those higher in the chain tge same people who authorized and participated in what he exposed?
As I see it, he went to the real higher ups: "we the people"
@@adrianalexandrov7730 No there is a lot of people in the chain of command that you can go to that dont have access or dont know what is going on to the full extent. Like the captain of the base knows what missions are taking place and the intel that we have but they dont know how we get it. They are not read into the same programs as some groups. When I was 19 years old I had the power to do what every I pleased didnt have to justify a reason. NO other person knew what was happened but people with in that shop. There is ombudsman that you can talk to or you can talk to civilain personal that work within the Navy they will bring it up the chain. I know several people that I worked with that didnt know that was happening
Great interview. Finally a journalist that asked a question and let the person answer without interjecting their own opinion.
2:06
Although, I do like to hear Stossel's perspective. I don't always agree with him, but I like to consider what he has to say.
"The government should be afraid of the people, the people shouldn't be afraid of the government."
-- Edward Snowden
Government officials should live in terror of its people, not just fear.
I would love to see president Trump pardon Edward Snowden and appoint him as the fbi leader and watch the left implode .
@@Texas.T 🏆
@@NarFlux Calmaté, Cujo
I could not have said it better!
"I was the CIA director, we lied, we cheated, we stole." - Mike Pompeo
Yep, doing what is needed to protect the nation. Just like every other nation.
BUt fOr aMeriCan SeCuriTY
Every other foreign intelligence service does the same. At some point morality means nothing if your adversary is willing to go lower than you
If anybody wants a history of the CIA, murdering JFK, RFK, MLK and probably Malcolm next too!
Oh, and it’s OK to lie to the American people? 🙄
People need to look up, John Perkins, confessions of an economic hit Man! Tells all about his time in the CIA!
@@samwroblewski748 yeah but we didn't always have a CIA things like military intelligence was good enough
He is living embodiment why Institutions must be crushed and humiliated until they work properly.
absolutely
Hmmm mmmm I actually came out with the opposite conclusion, this guy seems incredibly capable and grounded.
John, thanks for allowing Mike Pompeo to fully elucidate his thoughts & points. As a result, citizens are allowed to see who he really is. Rarely if ever, will an interview of this quality be seen on corporate media/cable TV without being chopped with commercial breaks. A sincere ode to alternate media platforms.
*_TRUST !!_*
You are exactly true , most people are listening to Mike Pompeo That's scary!
NOPE
What's your opinion on him, Tim. I have mine, and it's not very good, but I wanna hear yours too.
Pompeo is a monster and a war criminal. He should face charges at the ICC
I think your opinion is right sir @@Lexman00
He was the CIA director. He’s one of those who recommend sealing the JFK Documents and all. He’s part of the Cabal we all detest.
sure. what the usa needs is a Kamal Harris for President
@@GK-op4oc If you're suggesting our only options are top puppet of the CIA & Kamala we might as well close up shop right now.
“We teach classes on how to lie, cheat, and steal “ yet wants Snowden to get the death penalty? Snowden did the right thing….fact
Right!! This guy lost my vote on this one and many other things.
That’s the definition of a spy agency 😂😂
What we need to do is give everyone cookies and we will all get along, tell the truth, and use our discretion properly. You are a very highly principled....putz. Anyone who reveals military maneuvers is a trader and should be treated accordingly. What if it were your brother or sister who got killed because of Snowden?
@@richardhoff1626 But he didn’t give up any military locations on a Battlefield. He talked about how the government is lying to us and spying on average ordinary citizens, which by law, the CIA is not suppose to operate in the US Homeland. Most of the wars that the US have been involved in has been off of lies. A couple of my family members have died in these wars for no reason. My dad barely made it back alive from Vietnam, which was based off a lie with the gulf of Tonkin incident that never happened.
Did you hear his whole reason? What's not talked about were the secrets, given to our enemies, that actually put service men and women at risk. He compromised the safety of our military. Pompeo admitted that also what was revealed were crimes by the NSA. But largely the amount of secrets he told were not about crimes of the US government.
I’d like to watch Snowden and Assange debate Pompeo on these topics.
I'd pay a lot of money to see that : )
As always, a thoughtful interview.
I understand Mr. Pompeo better now than ever.
Yes interview Kamala Harris, and ask her the exact same questions and don't let her laugh her way out of answering them.......PLEASE JOHN FOR AMERICA.....DO IT !
Are you more content with a CIA op that we can't believe a word of what he just said?
Who could sit through an hour of her though
They would never agree! Lol
That would be a riot 😂
That would be a total waste of everyone's time. A better time would be had if he interviewed a hooked.
Stealing the privacy of every American is also “not noble”, and “National Security” is a term that protects powerful individuals in the government while having little to do with protecting our country.
“National security” is security of the state, not the people.
thank you
There is no state or nation without the people.@@kylek1556
Such a refreshing and amazingly done interview. Thank you Mr Stossel and secretary Pompeo
The problem with "classified" is that the government classifies just about everything. When I was serving in Germany late in the Cold War, the menu at the chow hall was classified "secret." Didn't want the Russkies to know we were having potatoes and gravy and apple pie on Wednesday night.
Mike Pompeo is gonna get you executed for leaking such classified information.
John you did a great interview by letting him speak and to let us decide.
I agree
Great interview!
Indeed
Except the glaring omission of January 6th and Pompeo's complicity in pushing the lies
@porscheoscar what happened jan 6?
He’s about 70% of what I want. It’s a shame. It’s not that I think he’s an evil person. I think he’s still too close the intelligence machine. He still thinks our Intelligence apparatus is a noble institution of the highest order. He feels this way because he’s never been burned by the system. Because he’s never been burned by it he feels warmed by it’s fire.
He's a salesman with world class training on how to get results he wants.
Very articulate 👍
Agree but that 30% is everything that is bad about our system. He’s for the state not for the people.
I agree wholeheartedly, well said!
He’s too religiously conservative. Otherwise I would give him another look.
They couldn't find any of the leakers during Trump's term in office. But, I'm supposed to be offended when someone leaks information showing our government lying to us. 😂😂😂
Mike and John, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart
This interview makes a very strong case to disband the CIA.
Amen
Bullshit nonsense, this interview did not make any kind of a case relating to the CIA.
He had me until the NSA and Snowden. Thank you for exposing him.
I've known his opinion about Snowden for years, but I guess some haven't heard it before.
Still a viable candidate, not even Trump is perfect. But way better then any liberal democrat globalists that's for sure.
Same here
Check your own mind for egregious errors if you support drug prohibition.
Yeah.. I didn't agree on Snowden.. I get the sentiment that you can't just go to a company and just take things without repercussions. But in this case the government is abusing it's power.
This is one of the first videos I like through and through. Hard questions, debate, pushback and good questions while letting him speak. I disagree with both men fairly strongly, but this has given me more respect for both.
👍
That was a great interview. I love Mike Pompeo’s directness.
I wanna see Snowdens response to Mike's claims that he leaked all these military secrets.
He's right though... He stole our military secrets.....he's right.
BULSHIT! Pompeo is trying to save he's own asshol he admitted as director of CIA at CIA he said we lie,we cheat,we steal, we kill. Pompeo is so desperate to get Julian Assange out of the way because if the truth comes out, Pompeo will be in Julian Assange place in jail. God help us all if Pompeo become president. He threatened the closest Alie of America if you're friends with China and trade with China, we will cut ties with Australia. He's running against Trump he's own boss what a backstabbing traitor. That should tell you everything who Pompeo is all about Pompeo.
Where are the 2 comments?
Sadly this propably will not happen as snowden is stuck as a russian citizen in moscow in the current ... you know... situation. I doubt that he is allowed to do debates and public speeches at the moment.
@@kaidubstep2404 but stossel had interviewed snowden before tho.
its amazing how much better this is than a televised debate
Formats for debates should be more like this, requiring the candidates to expand on their vision for the country. Anyone can come up with 30 soundbites that are a minute long.
I know.. it's an actual political discussion... makes you remember how little you actually see of it lol
@@kilgortrout3432 That's all Pompeo gave as his 'defense' for being a totalitarian drug prohibitionist. Stossel barely pushed back. Sickening, since we now have given the central bank everything it wanted for over 109 years. When, if ever, will Americans push back...even a tiny bit? FFS ...It's absolutely sickening. Whitney Webb is right.
@@JakeWitmer The drug issue is still a bit difficult for me. It may sound really harsh but at this moment I am inclined to say if we were to legalize all drugs everyone involved would be required to take personal responsibility for their actions. In my life, I have seen some pretty destructive forces in play when it comes to drug use by those around me sometimes death one time as simple as falling and striking their head. If made legal, when they and their families fall apart I do not want to be responsible for having to pay to dig them out; no social services assistance or aid, and they are responsible for their actions. The reality of the situation is we are not ready to let that happen in this country.
Agreed. No screaming and interrupting ever other word.
Snowden is a hero.
That was awesome. It's my introduction to what Pompeo thinks. Never heard him interviewed before. Thank you!
Yeah I don't trust him at all
Amazing how many comments claiming they love his honesty?!?!?!?
I want to like this guy and he's saying some good things but at the end of the day he's former CIA
I do too but at the end of day yeah he's just a another politician
I feel the same. As a former government employee who has dealt with the CIA, I just cannot past the CIA part on his resume.
I really find it hard to accept him pointing out that he and many get things wrong but people cant expose it cause thats stealing and stealing is wrong. Then explaining it with a nebulous claim that it’s to protect Americans.
People love power and strong decisive guys who hold a lot of power. And that is normal and to some degree we need hierarchy and authority. But it is also very very dangerous and we should be very very careful with that. There is a part in me too that says that all we need is a strong guy to put things right and all will be well. But there is an enormous danger in that too. "Pick me I would make things right, bring law and order and make us respected abroad" - that was a line for all feature tyrants who get to power and ruled with iron fist but still remain insanely popular among their population.
@@grzegorzkuczek5742 hell I just want someone that'll get the government to leave me alone. But that seems to be asking for a lot nowadays.
Mike Pompeo Is no yes man. He calls it the way he sees it. I can respect that. Though, I agree with most not all what he says. Pompeo is very likable and very talented a true patriot. Thank you Mr. Secretary Pompeo.
Thank You John for an amazing interview. Fantastic stuff here
He doesn’t stand a chance
I have to admire Pompeo for agreeing to this interview and actually trying to answer John's insightful and probing questions. After seeing this, no other politician will ever agree to do the same.
yea he's a very honest and forward man i like him
Pompeo is a joke coming from Kansas
@@xxlastrebelxx5719 what's wrong with him?
After seeing this, I believe that anyone who believes they have the intelligence to provide a persuasive argument or to back up their ideas with evidence will be more than willing to persuade more people to their cause.
Pompeo persuaded me on Snowden. I still believe that exposing the Federal government was heroic. I always discounted the Federal government's claims against him as revenge for making them look bad. Perhaps I should be more humble in my ignorance and realize that doing one heroic act doesn't turn a person into a saint. I have moved from being a full Snowden supporter to being appreciative of one act and remaining undecided on his full character.
Other guests will likely persuade me on at least one topic as well.
@@007kingifrit You'd have liked Beria, too for the same reasons. Until he was pulling your wife's teeth out in front of you to get you to inform on your innocent neighbors. ...Then, you might have realized the profundity of your mistake.
👍👍👍
Thanks Mr. Stossel. I have really enjoyed your videos. You have a way of starting my brain's engine to think about the topics you discuss.
Really enjoy this conversation and I am not an American 😅 big hug from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤ God Bless you all
Without journalists like John and freedom of speech this country would be in a really badspot
We are definitely fortunate to have Stossel but we do not have free speech. That is dead.
We are currently in a real bad spot!
Definitely in a bad spot. With a few good exceptions like Stossel.
Project Veritas also doing a great job.
John, please call Bill Weld and schedule an interview!!!
Somewhere, somehow we need to find a way to get good journalism in front of the American people. Good job John.
They are in front of the American people which is why so many American's are misinformed and fail to see they're being served up propaganda and disinformation.
Too many media platforms now... and now the top one uses a botnet to pretend is has lots of users here on an app from (not here) that rhymes with RickRok
This isn't good journalism. It's scripted theater.
This is an excellent interview. Great work, sir!
100 % he does a great job
I love how John plays the other side while questioning his guest. He’s the best at it.
He’s the best devils advocate journalist out there. He doesn’t push anything. He just plays it straight and asks them to defend themselves without inserting a personal narrative.
He is a master at positioning himself as the Devil's advocate, no matter who he is interviewing.
Yeah I was watching him on the Heartland Institute hosting a climate debate.
This is what a real reporter looks like ,Great interview Mr Stossel
Challenging questions with truth and transparency in his answers!! Great interview! I learned much from his vision on leading our country forward; and most importantly, going steadfast in the right direction!
Thank you Mike Pompeo. Free Market and Liberty.
Regards,
Geoff. Reeks
I love that he is publicly blaming the CCP for killing millions.
This is the biggest event of my life and most leaders never even mention who’s to blame.
John Dr. Ben Carson and Dr. Thomas Sowell combo interview with exact questions you asked Pompeo would be a becon of refreshing light for Americans to hear
Well balanced, common sense answers to today's challenges!
Not!
This was wonderful ! Thank you so much from Austin, Texas
I had no intent on listening to 58 minutes of this guy but I am glad I did. Thank you, John, no one else will ever do this.
I'm with you 100% here.
Yeah I am beginning to think he’s our guy for 2024. The CIA background is not a plus but we have more immediate problems to solve.
@@markwilliams974 I think like you, I'm not 100% sold here but he is a definite serious consideration. That is more than I would have said about him a week ago.
Being head of CIA doesn’t make you evil, it makes you an extremely informed individual which can really help guide foreign policy. He knows all the evil players and all the ways they operate especially the Chinese Communist party. He is the only one who has called out the Chinese communist party. They gave us Fentanyl, spy balloons and Covid which has killed one million Americans.
No way was I going to listen to the full interview, but I couldn’t turn it off..
Pompeo: "Don't believe the propaganda John." I would have asked: "Whose propaganda?"
Well, said.
Great interview with a great statesman in Mike Pompeo who loves this country. I hope he does run for President! So here is a suggestion for John Stossel on someone to interview, Pierre Poilievre, he will be the next prime minister of Canada, very impressive person!
such a great interview. Pompeo would make a great president! I admire him so much after this informative interview.
I migrated to this country in 1979. If the peoples of this country continue to vote for dems , I have no doubt that this country will not be able to stop it’s decline in every aspect.
100% bottom line! 👍🏼
Its beyond dems or reps. Its simple corporate greed. As long as we muddle in their affairs it will continue
Eisenhower told us the military industrial complex was out of control then. Halliburton, Raytheon etc…,
Evading that one its not the Chinese its our corporate greed running the government
He has been in the government so long he helped put us on the brink of a depression and ww111
Pompeo is right on some things and wrong on others, as people tend to be. Interesting interview, good work John.
Yeah I would love to know how taking documents to expose crime is stealing.. Thats the biggest nonsense I ever heard. Thats like if we said the police cant collect evidence at my house to prove I did a crime because that would be """stealing""".. huh..?? Like what.....? :D
Not to mention the US military patterns or w/e nonsense.. Even if we for a second pretended our adversaries didnt have that information already, it doesnt really put anyone at actual measurable risk and didnt he actually go thru official means publishing stuff via media instead of just leaking everything altogether without any regards for anything? It just shows that even when you try to do the things the right way, the actual criminals still turn you into the criminal.
Exactly. Just like the rest of us
Only Ron Paul is right
I wish more people could see things as realistically as you just expressed yourself. Very refreshing of you. I also feel this way. Don't agree on his drug policy or his overall take on Snowden... however it did give me a slightly different angle to view it, as to understand why he feels the way he does.
@@NigelOdinson Don't you wonder why Stossel let him defend saying Snowden should be executed for treason and not bring up our current POTUS? I mean if anybody is treasonous and already responsible for 13 young military personel at his incompetent retreat from Afghanistan, should the death penalty be warranted for creepy joe too?
And that doesn't even begin to cover all the foreign money he has taken in for influence and sold our country out for his personal gain.
Not a single question on that elephant in the room?
Excellent interview! John asks challenging questions, Mike Pompeo hits most head on (I question the Snowden parts, but I don't know all the details). Still, EXCELLENT INTERVIEW.
Great interview with Fmr Secretary of State M. Pompeo. A brilliant American with a proven track record serving America. Secretary Pompeo will work diligently to protect and preserve America. God bless Secretary Pompeo.
I know he was doing this interview to sell his book, which makes his case for a run for president, but I also learned a lot about Mr. Pompeo. Thank you for a great interview.
John , you are an awesome interviewer. You actually let people talk, even when you disagree. Really enjoyed this.
That's because he was not dealing with a LIAR
Would you consider interviewing Ron DeSantis? I just found your channel, John, and really enjoyed your interview with Mike Pompeo.
I like the Snowden double think. Incredible mental gymnastics.
John, hands-down, one of the best interviews. I’ve seen in my lifetime. Nice work my friend. Keep it going.
Stossle has always been an excellent interviewer.
@@foxtrotjulietbravo5536 He is a master at positioning himself to be the Devil's advocate, no matter who he is interviewing.
Executed for exposing information they dont like 😳
Pompeo said snowden leaked naval movements. We should all see that as a problem. I agree that the cia isn't supposed to spy on US citizens and I
would support whistle blowers doing that - especially if they went to congress. Those guys/gals would certainly make lots more noise about the issue than one guy.
He didn’t really acknowledge that the NSA was breaking the law. Just that Snowden shouldn’t have released the information. And we know what happened to people who report NSA and CIA violations.
Pompeo's contention is that Snowden released information that endangered the lives many Americans and committed treason in doing so. Further, this should be resolved in a court of law. So far, so good. I'm on board with having a trial.
However, has Pompeo, by combination of his former position and by stating he thinks Snowden should be executed, prevented Snowden from getting a fair trial? That seems like a very valid question, one I wish Stossel had asked.
Revealing military patterns is very dangerous to our soldiers. Snowdon is a mixed bag of good and bad.
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🇺🇸CHAMPION FOR LIFE!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
Fantastic interview as always. Thank God for interviewers who just interview.
Pompeo, "We can't expose government sleaze and terrorism."
This is a terrific interview. Should open everyone’s ears
Main figure in CIA, what did you expect? Absolute cold blooded beast
Pompeo is one of the worst people in politics right now left or right. Another WEF mouthpiece
I actually downloaded this so I can watch it again on a flight some time. Fantastic interview.
He thinks thats illegal and you should go to jail for it.
@@Bewefau Are you just going to reply to everyone nonsensically?
You can give Pompeo as much credibility as you should to the public face of a secret organization. Any more would be foolish.
I love this interview. I don't like Mike Pompeo at all but I appreciate his blunt honesty. I can respect that.
why not? i thought he was great. not charismatic but clearly a great patriot nonetheless. honestly i think he would make a great VP.
I disagree with almost everything this guy says. I’m conservative by temperament, libertarian by policy, and this guy is everything wrong with the Right.
“Thomas Drake had FBI agents come to his home with guns drawn”
Pompeo “I don’t know if thats correct”
Yes, yes you do know it’s correct, you know for a fact, and you’re lying.
@@dirkhamilton2709 oh fascinating, he is everything wrong with the right? that's strong.
@@dirkhamilton2709 he's a NatSec guy for sure, but does that make him have opinions that are just different based on the data that he was able to see? could he be seeing something that we aren't? just curious.
On Edward Snowden: "..he chose to be this little weakling and go to Russian". He's emotional! He might as well be crying!
Excellent interview!!! Thank you for sharing
Stossel, that was a first class interview.
This video/interview is EXACTLY what we need more of. Absolutely wonderful discussion in every way!
I thought it was a horribly weak performance from a normally exceptionally strong Stossel. This is the most evil, dangerous man Stossel has ever interviewed. ...Far beyond the incompetent evil of a Freisler-type like Sessions. ...This man is more of a Stalin or Himmler. Pure evil.
Perhaps, I could sell you some Swamp land in FL?
At this point it’s just talk. But he doesn’t seem to be all about a lot of double talk. Would be fun to think about him as a vice president to begin.
mike is a full blown nut job. i had no idea until i seen this interview.. are you guys getting what this phycopath is saying and also catching him lying when you hear his nervous laughs
theybbest way to fix everything is to switch back to a gold pressious metel currency the rare earth elements would %1000000 cure every penny on earth that was debt including whipping out all credit card debts... it would free us all feom the illuminate cabal syndicate system we live in now
"These programs were never about terrorism: they're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power."
-- Edward Snowden
Now ask why and what’s the end goal
Absolutely. Perfectly put.
Edward wants you to believe that freedom doesn't exist, that it is fake and that there is always hidden authoritative power behind the institutions that provide it.
And Pompeo seems like he is addicted to that power. I don't trust him. Would rather have Trump or DeSantis as president.
If Pompeo becomes Pres. he will have Showden killed.
This is the concerning statement: "keep American's safe" or keep government safe from the citizens? by hiding lies of the government??
Great interview! This is exactly what we need. More civil dialogue, more opinions that may differ from your own. I liked what Secretary Pompeo had to say and look forward to hearing more of his vision for America. I do know one thing for sure, this country can not sustain another 4 years of progressive leftist’s taxing, spending and profiteering off of the middle class.
Anyone willing to jail or kill Snowden is against government transparency and for covering up it's crimes.
And that's a recipe for tyranny. It might be in different flavours: Soviet unity of workers, German strong hand, "liberal" gender/racial equality through quotas and reparations and so on.
Some flavours you might even like at first. But it inevitably comes to eating enemies, and then your own.
What he's actually saying to me regarding Snowden is our military/intelligence should have any option open and we the plebs should just mind our business whether it's right or not.
Really enjoy your full interviews. You ask hard questions and let your guest answer them in their own way which I really enjoy!! Please keep up the great work!!
I think he should have asked harder questions. This communist Pompeo is ignorant and arrogant. Would have been worth giving him a "what is Aleppo?" moment, to show him how little he really knows about what he imagines he can design.
@@LovingPrinceTamayuki Strange I have never heard of a communist saying we should have less government and doing away with some government agencies.
@@terrymills810 He only wants to appear to attempt to get rid of parts of government. He doesn't plan to cut back government from his own side so it will only grow. What conservatives like him view as wasteful government spending is someone else's idea of primary government necessity. You can't get anywhere with cutbacks if that's your approach, and I don't think he intends to. He seems quite content with all government staying how it is so long as it means him and his friends get more support & funding.
@@landon7974 Why...it was addressed at the beginning of the interview. He said Jullian should be dead. What else is there else to say.
@@applianceman6194 Julian or Snowden?
VERY SMART MAN! EVERYTHING HE DOES IS FOR OUR COUNTRY! A AMERICAN 🇺🇸 WHO PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE FOR OUR COUNTRY
EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE! GREAT DIPLOMAT AND A GREAT LEADER
This was a great interview. Pompeo is a great patriot.
I would like him to be back in Team Trump for 2024.
I love that he actually answers questions. Little short answer, and then a little expansion.
I can honestly say this is one of the most interesting, impressive, and entertaining interviews I have seen for a very long time.
Agree
Absolutely! Makes a lot of sense! Bless you brother.
But not convincing.
Totally agree.
@@philliptipton9371 i did question the Snowden part, but i dont know enough about it.
We need a governor like Mike now in California. I was so glad to hear that he agreed with Trump about the deep state.🇺🇸✝️
You thought his answers made him look like a good person!?!
I really enjoyed Pompeii and his answers.. So glad to here your show today. I Thankyou.
Great, great job, John. The SQUIRM when you ask about Assange is unreal
Truth tellers are heroes on 2023
TRUTH!!!
Agree!!
Ye, he did "squirm" a little bit in that interview when John mentioned Snowden and Assange.
This man needs to run for president thanks John i tell everyone i can who's somewhat interested in watching your channel. You can't find stuff like this on TV. Thanks!
This used to be mainstream. Now that medium to all propaganda
🤮
Thank you Stossel for being an actual journalist. I cannot think of others still in the business. Everyone else became entertainers.
John is both without sacrificing either
And they're not very entertaining.
Nothing but respect.
GREAT interview.
Excellent interview! We got to learn a lot more about Mr. Pompeo than any other time while he was working for the government. I like that you debated and challenged him but allowed him to answer without interruptions. Thank you.
DeSantis is another interview I'd like to see.
I don’t agree with Pompeo on many issues, but I respect him for standing up with his views.
An interesting and decent interview. Like the interviewer I don’t agree with everything he says but he longs for a better USA!
Here is an excellent interview with a potentially future presidential candidate. I neither support nor wish to criticize Mike Pompeo and his opinions but I do support the goal here of providing an extensive in-depth interview so we can better understand these candidates. I hope that John Stossel and others in the media will interview all candidates in a long format such as this.
Well said, Kenneth!
@Gov Loves You - Why are you compelled to say that in reply to Kenneth? Seems non-relevant to his point. Perhaps you should just make that it’s very own comment, Gov…don’t ya think?
@Gov Loves You So you not only posted a non-relevant spam reply once…but twice on the same comment? Do you have political tourette syndrome or something where you just type away whatever random thought crosses your mind as soon as you think it no matter if it makes sense or not? Come on…be better.
Really? He'e fine executing Snowden.
@@glidercoach - What does Snowden have to do with Kenneth's post?
Says he wants to murder Snowden and Snowden would be found guilty and executed. All while calling Snowden weak and recognizing that Snowden saw Thomas Drake was left out to dry after going through proper channels.
He said murder?
If Snowden dies of anything other than natural causes then it would be murder
If he's taken in front of a court in the United States and executed for treason then the people behind that should be hung in the streets for their worse treason
That's not what he said.
Yeah, I disagree with his take on Snowden.
He never said ‘murder.’ He did say held accountable by a jury. Death penalty is/ can be the penalty for being a traitor.
I don’t see Snowden that way. After all these years, no operatives have been harmed due to Snowden’s leak.
Now they have changed the narrative to include troop movements.🤔
Pompeo said he would seek the death penalty for Snowden. Murder is a subjective definition of death penalty, which certainly is a valid perspective of the death penalty. Murder is generally defined as the premeditated thought of and subsequent act of killing another human. Under this definition, seeking the death penalty is indeed premeditated. It is not an act of passion in the moment. Therefore, though Pompeo may not have said the word "murder," he absolutely spoke of it using its definition through suggestive alternative language.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK & DEDICATION TO FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY AND STANDING BY YOUR STRONG BELIEFS
Edward Snowden IS A HERO !! Pompeo IS A WARMONGER !!
