Shawn Ryan does the absolute best interviews. I watched this when it came out and I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. Go watch his other interviews as well. Specifically Ed Calderon, and the Eddie Gallager are two of my favorites. The quality in production that goes into these are insane and to think you get to watch them for free is beyond me.

Jezzz... 6 hours! This will take a bit. Shawn is on my regular rotation to listen to the podcast, sometimes watch it on YouTube. Downloading to listen to this later now.

I took a course under Ed, so I'm kinda biased

Intense and very worth the expense.

Awesome. I think the type of stuff he teaches is more valuable than a lot of training we can go too.

Very practical and tested stuff. He teams up with other SMEs - I still want to go to Voodoo Doc's Austere Medical Management course; basically improvised or "ditch" medicine (folks might be familiar with the concept as seen in a few movies such as Sniper, Jason Bourne, etc, where the main character has to patch themselves up).

I have to say I haven't made it to the end of this yet, but there is so much more going on with this story than I ever suspected.
Crooked Hillary - check
Crooked Biden - check
Those of us who only knew what the self serving politicians and propaganda media said about it were being kept in the dark.
I also loved hearing the overview of the training and selection for Blackwater. Very interesting!

Thanks for the reminder. I started it when Andy first posted but, yeah, it's a long one. And I failed to go back and continue it. I've "favorited" it on YouTube so that I can more easily find it again. Still gonna take me probably 4 or 5 sessions.
