There is no such thing as a former CIA agent
Exactly
😮
ikr
Same could be said of the KGB and Putin.
Exactly!! Those who are skeptical of everything related to the US government want to tell people exactly who they can trust, Putin included@@DisposableSupervillainHenchman
I’ve listened to almost every podcast that Mike Baker has done and I still have absolutely no idea what the guy is trying to say.
$$$$
He basically just parrots CNN...
The same lies as every other bureaucrat, but he’s supposed to be more believable bc he’s “ex” CIA
STOP interviewing this guy he talks endlessly About NOTHING…
yes, hes definitely not feeding you any propaganda. when you say an EX CIA comes on podcasts and talks about nothing, it means you have already accepted his propaganda as truth.
Yes, more Putin informercials. They are clearly more informative.
Yup. All he says is expected cookie cutter nonsense.
Yup, he’s not ex-CIA, he’s still doing their bidding and promoting their bullshit.
Who is more dangerous to your day to day life 1. Chinese communists ? 2. Putin ? 3. An open USA border and mass govt spending beholden you and your next 3 generations ? @@eaglesfan2285
For an ex-CIA he is extremely superficial and rather uninteresting.
What you mean to say is that you consume too much alex jones conspiracies and movies and you think CIA is this big thing, when reality is just nuanced and not sexy like your little conspiracies.
JFK probably disagrees with you@@lordjaraxxus663
The CIA has been behind more insane "conspiracies" that have turned out to be true than any other US agency, maybe any other agency in the world. You have to be laughably ignorant to believe that they are just some "nuanced" little thing. @@lordjaraxxus663
@@lordjaraxxus663 Operation Mockingbird: CIA is embedded in every American media organization. I think that's a pretty big deal. Has nothing to do with Alex Jones, who's just a convenient lighting rod for the hard-of-thinking.
@@lordjaraxxus663 well said
So tired of this guy getting interviews. He adds nothing to the conversation.
if an ex CIA propaganda man appears in the media and you say he adds nothing, this means you have accepted CIA propaganda.
Yeah cuz you're really leading the great new conversation
yeah he's lame
Then don’t watch it.
inb4 "i cant wait for him to say nothing" comments
😂 It’s amazing how many people just parrot the same comment for certain guests. It’s like a team of Pavlov’s dogs.
@@sthubbins4038are they wrong though, everyone’s seen this guy on joe Rogan and you start listening to him and you realize that he’s spewing a bunch of nothing the whole time!
@jonthegod2170 No, they're just pissed that he goes Off-Narrative for them. I learned things about Navalny's history from this clip, and also learned that Novichok was actually invented by the Russians.
@jonthegod2170 on rogan he literally explained how intelligence gathering and assassinations work in detail
@@sthubbins4038You’re seriously unaware of THE Mike Baker, ‘former’ CIA, says a lot to say nothing, Rogan comment section meme? It’s up there with ‘ask him about DMT’ and ‘Jaime, pull that up’. Anything to other those that don’t conform, huh? You must live a miserable existence.
Good to hear the CIA spin.
Baker leads with name calling. That tells you what you need to know about this man and the culture at the CIA
He’s not wrong though is he!! Putin’s a murderous tyrant!
Gee I don't know, if you use this same qualifier for those commenting it may say some pretty bad things about them too.
The irony of a CIA stooge complaining about their own tactics backfiring
At least it's not an interview with that guy that loaned out his wife repeatedly again.....
Is that him? You talking about Mike?
I figured it was only a matter of time before we got the agency's talking points on this podcast
You think he does leg day or injections and supplements? 0:56
is it bad? im not really follower of this creator but isnt it good that people have wide range of point of view to see? some, like this one, are obviously full of shit, people can decide on their own
This guy plays ball better than a NBA player. I’ve never seen someone say so much yet everything he says is a basic talking point and goes nowhere. You cannot get a straight answer out of this guy. I’ve seen all his episodes on JRE
Maybe it's because straight answers don't exist in the world he comes from?
So have we all and everyone agrees at least in the comment section I still keep wanting to give him a chance but there’s no hope of him delivering any kind of helpful info at all lol
I believe there's a lot to this. A simple lie is preferred to a complex truth, especially in today's world where everyone thinks they can form an opinion on everything, regardless of how nuanced the issue. @@MrWuggles
Baker's disappointment in the Putin interview mirrors our disappoint very time Baker is interviewed
Mike Baker: "We're just going to walk away from Ukraine." Afghanistan:👀 The guys full of shit.
Yeah and Chris should have asked what he meant by “we have interests in Ukraine”. I’d love to hear him explain that. No one ever does except for “Putin’s trying to rebuild the Soviet Union”
@@Adam1986London oil reserves and critical minerals for making computer chips. The oil reserves are not our interest per se, but to keep Ukraine funded to arm against Russia and hold Russia back from NATO its exactly in our interests.
If we're walking away. We should have never walked up on it.
Afghanistan and Ukraine are totally different situations
@danielbrown9368 ah yes, the Russian bogeyman.
For a former CIA agent, he sure has all his pro war rhetoric ready to go regardless of the question.
So the podcast circle goes: Rogan > Triggernometry > Moder Wisdom. Baker is the luckiest man alive that he keeps getting these interviews despite never saying an interesting thing ever.
In today's world, we prefer interesting over nuance, and it shows. If you think you can get to the bottom of these things by watching Joe Rogan, it tends to reveal your bias.
"Let's interview a professional liar and propagandist" And it went about as well as expected...
This guy is just slimy
You guys are getting played man. Mike Baker is the CIA handler for the podcasters. Hahah.
We love you, Tucker. FJB.
How many rubles did you get paid to post this?
@@jackeagleeye3453 The sad truth is that there are many people who say that without being paid in rubbles.

He seems pretty concerned about Ukraine and Israel. Which country writes his check again?
I also identify as a former CIA agent, can I be the next guest in the podcast?
Please.
1:27 is the definition of sunk cost fallacy. "I'll keep my bumper sticker on the car" he's appealing to emotion, that's not a valid reason to then go on to say we have interests over there(ukraine) that trump our own interests at home like infrastructure. This guy is a class act
You think there were no issues at home during ww2?

@@abdullahnisar2219 There was never a possibility to end this war without giving up completely Ukraine to Russia. Do you not understand why that is neither moral nor in the US interest ?
@@andreimustata5922Yeah, except for the warnings of George Kennan, the 2008 cable from William Burns (Nyet means nyet), years of Russian insistence that Ukraine in NATO was a red line, US involvement in the Maidan coup (Victoria Nuland phone call with Ukraine ambassador picking out the governments officials), Zelenskyy campaigning and winning in a landslide on a platform of signing peace agreement with the Russians, Minsk I, Minsk II, talks in Instanbul, Eastern Ukraine voting in a referendum to join Russia only to be refused by Putin in favor of an agreement for NATO neutrality and defense of ethnic Russians in the region… Plenty of problems with Putin but truly, it’s laughable to pretend like there weren’t heavy handed Western provocations.
Like all CIA agents I've ever met, actually all federal agents in general give or take I've ever met, this guy is a total meathead.
No you haven't lol name one CIA agent you have met?
Yeah, he's a cross between a sleezy used car salesman and the guy who peaked playing football in 11th grade, only given a license to murder for the aristocracy.
I agree every person I know that works for one of them agencies are douchebags
Total yes men. Pawns of the govt thinking they are someone above the people. Drain it. You know what
no such thing as a "former'' CIA agent
When the truth comes out. Pls make this guy along with everyone else who lied to us pay for their crimes. And they will
I think it's amusing when people say Tucker didn't 'press' Putin and they were 'unimpressed' with the interview. Especially when they themselves have 1) Not interviewed anyone even remotely as powerful as Putin or been in the middle of a foreign country where anyone opposing the person is often suspiciously murdered or poisoned & 2) Had any form of interview where they have pressed a guest in any meaningful way. When someone goes to Russia and does a better job, then their criticism holds weight. Until then, keep quiet.
Besides NATO, using Ukraine as a money laundering war machine...weakening Russia economically and militarily what "other" interests does the USA have in that region of the world??
What do you think that US should do if after defeating Ukraine Russia tries to take Estonia who is in its way toward the Kaliningrad fleet? If they don't enter in direct war with Russia and don't respect the NATO pact none of the alliances US constructed after WWII mean anything anymore. Does a direct arm conflict with Russia seem appealing to you? If not you got Ukraine between Russia and the NATO countries. Is not that hard to understand why US would support Ukraine.
@@andreimustata5922 I think the US should stop meddling on the other side of the planet and defend our own borders from the current invasion on our own soil.
Your not making any sense. Russia will win the war and take 40% of Ukraine territory to the east, If Trump takes office the war in Ukraine will be over within 24 hours because we all know the USA has no business being in Ukraine. The people of the USA are tired of fighting wars that serve them no purpose and have bigger problems at home. NATO won't even get involved because they too don't want this war and Russia will crush them militarily and can engage in espionage and sabotage energy pipelines which most of Europe relies on Russia for natural gas. Russia under Putin hasn't been an expansionist and the USA pushed Russia into the hands of China because they wanted to paint them as enemy no 1. And even if Putin wanted to expand it would cost him more man power and money which he doesn't have.
@@billbadson7598 You are relating things that are not related and refusing to do the right thing now will have big repercussion in the future. As far as the south boarder the main problem seems to be some republicans unable to accept when they receive what they asked for.
@@andreimustata5922 _"You are relating things that are not related and refusing to do the right thing now will have big repercussion in the future."_ I'm not relating them at all. You asked what we should do if Russia tries to take Estonia. I told you. We should not care even a little bit, and protect our own borders instead. As for republicans, I don't care what partisan politics you're obsessing over in current year.
I never write critical comments about Mike Baker because I don't want to end up on the rack.
Is it too late to tell JFK that you shouldn't say critical things of the CIA?
Would love to see some push back- Mike says we have interests in Ukraine. What are they?
People aren’t quickly tired of Gaza & Ukraine. People are longly tired of Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza & Ukraine as 1 looooooong foreign policy philosophy that spends a lot, has no hard goals and calls people questioning it crazy.
“But we also have concerns over there!” Like what, exactly?
We got a to thwart a 70+ year old man with Parkinson’s from reinstating the USSR. Something the Russian people who lived through it want very much (they don’t). I wonder what kinda money this guy got from weapon companies over his career?
• Money laundering sending trillions* to isræl • depleting Western armaments, munitions & other resources necessary for defensive capabilities • Biological Warfare - Chemical Warfare research facilities being the primary concerns.
*when adding together the collective contributions from across the world.
We have to protect the biggest money laundering operation for shady American and NATO politicians. Duh. 🤑
This guy has as much intellect and insight as the old lady who does My Moms hair. Same opinion, same lack of facts. Same ego just wanting to hear own voice.
I love how these two people didn’t take the risk of being considered a traitor by interviewing Putin are able to criticize him so easily
If we hadnt gone like 17 trillion into debt over the 'war' in iraq and Afghanistan, maybe we'd have more patience for a few years and a couple trillion spent on Ukraine. But after 20 or more years of that absolute failure of justice, robbery of the taxpayer, and abandonment of geopolitical responsibility, forgive me if we're a bit wary to simply trust the CIA and security state in Ukraine all over again.
The money spent on Ukraine, which is less than1% of the US budget is nothing compared to what will be spent if Russia gets Ukraine.
@@andreimustata5922How will Russia controlling a portion of Ukraine that is majority ethnic Russians who actually want to be part of Russia going to cost the U.S. anything other than fewer billionaires making more money from weapons sales, interest from loans to fund war and bribes to politicians?
@@jonsnowight9510 How do you know where the Russian troops will stop? They tried to take Kiev, they declare that the entire Ukraine is in fact part of Russia. I don't see why you believe that they will stop after taking Donbass. If Ukraine is not in position to defend itself they will take as much as they can.
@andreimustata5922 Ukraine is not, and never has been, in a position to defend itself. If the Russian military wanted to, it could literally sterilize Ukraine. Putting has held back solely because of U.S. pressure and threats, not Ukrainian "might."
@@jonsnowight9510 I assume that what you mean by that is that Russia didn't use yet nuclear weapons. They don't use it not only because of US but if they would use it no country would be on their side anymore. The fact that we are even talking about this should make it clear why US should do everything they can to stop Russia to take Ukraine. A belligerent Russia whose unique military force is nuclear weapons who already made claims at the begining of this war over their sphere of influence on East Europe, at the boarder of NATO would be a disaster. When Russia wants its access to Kaliningrad what will US do?

Putin is just that but I agree that saying that was needed, unnecessary and just showed how low of a bar his comments on the interview would be.
Thanks for letting me know what the establishment thinks of Putin. Not that I didn’t already know.

Never heard Mike Baker say really anything, and i have watched 20-30hours of podcasts with him
remarks from a "former" CIA agent mean nothing.
Well, they let you know what the CIA thinks, more or less.
Uhhh I remember this guy from joe Rogan, he’s famous for saying a whole lot without saying anything at all!
It's good that Baker laid out is obvious biases right from the get-go
This was the interview equivalent of "dribbling the ball."
This has been the best clip I have ever watched from this channel. Now I know when I watch "Mike Baker" I will get the (UN)official opinion of the "CIA" lmao
This guy completely destroyed his credibility not understanding why support for Israel has faded just because "some" civilians died (some=30k, 10k children) have some perspective on both side. If you're shocked at people's reaction you probably don't understand their perspective
I wonder how Jeffery epstein death looked like to the Russians...😂
You have to respect mr baker. There are limits to what someone with his background can say on matters. Things must stay at a very high level to keep from revealing anything. I understand exactly what he is saying on matters like this and appreciate his angle on world events

I've seen the interview, I'll make up my own mind about it, thank you
Is it a mandatory condition for a popular podcast to do business in the US (and the UK) that it has to make this kind of political propaganda piece from time to time?
It seems to be. At first it was just a couple times a year on Rogan but now he pops wherever there is at least 100,000 subscribers.
Did you prefer the Tucker propaganda?
@@andreimustata5922 Can I vote for neither?
@@jasonetter9171 Why do you ask me? you can listen to anybody you like. I asked the question because there seems to be a lot of Putin sympathizers in this comment section.
Maybe get criminals like James Clapper on. Remember this ? “Russians not only affected the outcome of the 2016 presidential election - they decided it, says James Clapper, who served as the director of national intelligence in the Obama administration, and during the 2016 vote. “To me, it just exceeds logic and credulity that they didn’t affect the election, and it’s my belief they actually turned it,” he told the PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff on Wednesday. Clapper, who chronicles his life and career in his new book, “Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence.”
Chris’s brand is so so good. I hope he’s done his calculations and strategised very well before venturing into political commentary.
Listening to this guy is like watching a finding Bigfoot docuseries.
Whatever Baker...you're no gem. Tucker kicked butt.
Smart and courageous guy !
Trust absolutely nothing Baker says. Man has never stopped doing work for the agency.
Leaving aside the quality and reliability of this ex-CIA guy's comments, which nobody but those working in the CIA and FSB would be able to deny or confirm, the absolute uniformity of the approbation regarding his comments is fascinating. I wonder if the echo-chamber-ness of the comments will stick in one of the NSA's algorithms and become part of an analysis that will make its way through the US security apparatus and become part of the preparations for the next phase of the propaganda war. What times we are living in, when Putin of all humans would be the preferred choice of leader for a significant minority of US citizens, if we can assume the majority of comments here are NOT generated by Russia bots.
Mike Baker is an establishment guy. Scott Horton would destroy everything Mike says in this conversation.

.. was under the belief that Putin was an unhinged monster from my significant readings in the Australian press. Whilst his full speeches are never shown in the press, have seen many segments - even if just a few selected words - that gave me a different impression, and his actions are described as insane. True, details are never added, but the overall impression is that I thought he was a monster based on reading The Australian. But this is the first time I have seen a full interview and it completely contradicts my established point of view. From this interview, he comes across as completely calm, rational and knowledgeable. Is this just a one off, or is he usually like this. What the heck! I'm starting to feel I have been duped
he is a rational, collected, thoughtful politician and leader. the problem that western governments have with him is that he did not, like Yeltsin, open Russia's doors wide for western capitalism to enter with its profiteering "investments".
I love reading comments about Mike Baker because people always comment on how he basically says nothing and it makes me laugh every time.
Did he bring up his boys names? Hewey Dewey and Lewey. JK I like Mike Baker
Any why should I “have concerns over there?”
Much better than when he's on Rogan...this guy let's him talk without inputting his own opinions.
About Navalny. There is a literal fucking video of him talking to CIA asset. This is why he was convicted.
I am sure that the conviction had nothing to do with the fact that he documented the corruption of Putin regime. Are you referring of the conviction of being poisoned with Novikov nerve agent? or the sham trail that took place after he return to Russia? Putin declares everybody who says anything against him a foreign agent, that doesn't make them so. I assume you wanted Peter Cage and almost the whole Trump team to be in prison as well because all of them spoke at some point with some KGB assets.
It was one of his associates, not Navalny. Definitely an asset, schooled in US, associated with NED.
Isn't this guy Rogan's handler?
