Your guests are too terrified to dismantle Biden. Deflection equals weakness which I don’t respect!
@@destekaya9942 right
Why, sure 👍😁🇦🇺
So here's the thing: By his own admission, he was trained to lie. He also explains that they recruited him because he was ALREADY a liar *by nature*, and the CIA made him even better at lying. Which, honestly, makes me wonder how much of what he says is even true...
I came to the comment section to write the same comment! Excellently worded. I feel the same way about how much of this is truth.
You can verify that many of the things he says are true. What specifically do you have evidence is a lie. It isn’t like he is sharing secrets.
W
Yes
Knowledge & information is Power, Truth stands out for some of us…what we do with it counts
I am a clinically trained psychologist and a somatic therapist. I literally lead trauma trainings on following your gut. His type of training of ignoring your gut, and using the head, is perhaps effective in the field, but disembodies the self, separates the mind and body process. It creates the process loop in the cycle where the brain is always used to control emotions. What happens when the brain is taxed (multiple layers of stress - children, business, or physical injury or illness) beyond it's ability to control is that they cannot disembody their own painful emotions anymore, and all the pain he's repressed FLOODS back to the system and creates severe depression. This kind of training is exactly why soldiers have high alcoholism and suicide rates. I would HIGHLY NOT recommend this.
He is saying to use it in business not real life.
As far as I'm concerned, this guy still works for the CIA if he is teaching you not to trust your gut. If he's telling you to trust your mind and only your mind, then he is an operative. The reason I say that is because the mind can be controlled by entities outside of yourself. Your instincts, your intuition, cannot. Your thoughts can lie to you. Your gut never will.
yes. Agree.
You have a heart and mind laying around, you might as well use both. Governments don't need secrets, they need transparency especially when we go out to vote. It seems that everyone ignores this for some strange reason and just puts their votes into machines as if that is transparent or something.
Also one of the reasons why the government wants you to do it. He said they want the superiority over you. So they can "help" you.
Don't listen to your heart. It's too emotional and it falls in love. Don't listen to your brain. It over analyzes and thinks too much. Go with your gut. It feeds you.
Yeah, I kinda agree with that!
Bud, how does your heart differ from your gut. If you didn't get it, that question was rhetorical; you might sound logical and smart, but to me, you just seem clever and young, possibly soon, to be smart.
oversimplified..you need all 3 for different situations..your gut will lie to you too when you're hungry ..good food can get poisoned too without you knowing about it
I DO...
Lol the prefrontal cotex is less useful than our reptilian brain because it only distiguishes us from animals. Let's all suck our thumbs and act like toddlers who don't have reason b/c emotions are superior😂. /s
I think his version of "gut" is different than mine. My gut is my instinct. There is zero emotion attached to it. It's what kicks on when certain things don't add up, and I won't know what that is, but it's wrong and when I don't listen to that, that's when I always get screwed. If I have a feeling about something and I may even know what things cause me to feel a certain way about a scenario or whatever, I believe that's his version of "gut". Bottom line is, ALWAYS trust your gut. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve.
I think what he means is "don't trust the narrative your mind builds to explain your gut feeling." E.g. your gut tells you your GF acts off. *dont* jump to conclusions that she's cheating. Evaluate the context logically.
I'm with you on that. He is a trained liar.
@@brytankak9598 This. Don't trust your lying eyes and don't take things for face value.
Absolutely right. If I ignore my gut / instinct I get screwed over.
He lost me when he mentioned that CIA follows human rights and country laws
must be a joke...
There's no such a thing as a former CIA agent..
He probably has to say that
I do t trust the dude at all. Do t know him. Don’t want to. Cia is corrupt just like every other government agency.
@@ShaferHart I know, even now he is doing PR for CIA. Maybe I didn't reached to it but I didn't see the part mentioning the bad things with CIA.
not listening to my gut is the only thing that has ever gotten me into trouble
Same...
Follow your considered intuition (not knee jerk impulses or triggered emotions). If you’re meditating when an idea comes - that is different from a fear or ego driven reaction.
🤔 Seems that there is kind of a misconception: “Don’t trust your gut” if it’s all about “emotions”, yes! - but TRUST YOUR GUT if it’s about “intuition”! Emotions vs. Intuition as they’re definitely not the same 🤷♀️
other people are who have caused all my troubles, on my own things go well.
I completely agree with you, I love my guts navigation advisory ❤
It's actually a form of trauma to grow up with parents or, a parent that is unable to nurture and give affection to their children. I know, it's very painful 😢.
Both my parents are extremely Narsassitic and terribly flawed. I am tryna break a cycle. Let's pray for the future of the children yeah?
So true. I understand completely.
28 and still struggle with that exact problem from my past
@@filippaoronto3880 I'm sorry sorry for your struggle. I pray you find your peace. It certainly will never leave you but somehow, by the grace of god, the strength he gives us, helps with that struggle. It's NOT YOUR FAULT!! 😔.
This guest was so interesting and had me actively listening from the start. Your professionalism and interpersonal attributes combined resulted in one of the best interviews that I have had the pleasure of watching.
So many questions: 1. What conditioner do you use. 2. Do you blowdry or airdry? 3. Gel or cream?
😂my first thought was nice hair!
I m surprised I had to scroll this far down to find the hair comments. I thought he was undercover and had borrowed a wig from an 90's RnB backing singer.
CIA man. It's a wig
😂😂
😂😂😂
I'm alot older than this guy but the times I didnt listen to my gut are the times I regret.
AGreed at 40 now I have to trust it AND the red flags other other wise I get fd. lol
Me 2
Word. His bs on so-called ‘rationality’ is a losing proposition.
I think saying that your gut is emotional..isn’t what people really mean by “gut” it’s more than just emotional.
I didn’t listen to my guts and I’ve got screwed twice, by single moms. 😂😂😂
I find this great business advice. What I hate is when big businesses turn solving problems to create a problem and then sell people the cure.
Democrats loves this business model. Just my opinion.
Problem, Reaction, Solution the Elites Motto
Once Agency, always Agency. This man is selling two things: Positive PR for the Agency and psychopathy.
More Recruits ;)
Recruiting more information via not a spy now.
I got a gut feeling I should question anyone that suggest i shouldnt trust my gut.
Trust, but Verify.... Hardest thing to remember to do!
yeah especially when its a fed boy who's obviously been propped up and promoted to the masses
Do you want a plane ticket to Washington ? ;)
you nailed it
Yep.
Lying is not an admirable trait, but recognizing lies is.
Takes one to know one.
Depends. Lying for the sake of lying, no, but a well-placed lie at the right time can save your life or your livelihood.
As a military contractor I know a lie but from a person who has been indoctrinated it's difficult to see. Signs of mania can stress the comprehension as well so it's overall a very difficult trait to read in those types. The way that I work is what do your lips say before you speak or act? That's one of my ways and also the fall and rise of the vocal train. Are you confident or are you not so sure... Things like that. Mental dysfunction throws all that out the window again. I dislike it when people use their hands alot because it's a method of brainwashing. I do this a lot because of training but I often feel like I'm an oppressive person when I notice people feel confident in me. In actuality I'm not in the know of the lobbyists interests though I was a tool of their interests. All Americans are.
That’s based on your opinion and perception. Obviously, it is a trait that the government, which you represent, is very interested in. Go subscribe to the behavioral panel, and watched how everybody lies. I bet you even lie and you’ve just forgot you did. Everybody lies.
@@tracimoon172 I don't represent government, but I do lie, like when I said your photo was rather pretty. I was just being polite.
Bear in mind when listening to the interviewee that although being insightful, logical, and articulate, he is responding within his own psychological perspective.
As a dr who worked in the ICU for babies and children for over a decade, i cant remember how many times a life was saved or a major catastrophic event was avoided by listening to my gut. Of course the brain is there to help with the analysis of the situation at hand, but the gut helps you decide which way to go. I will never stop listening to my gut feelings
This is intuition. I've avoided terrible things in my life because of intuition. Intuition is God telling us something we would not otherwise know. But this guy seems not to know about intuition, only an emotional reaction. Perhaps he just doesn't trust his intuition.
How do you get in tuned with your intuition?
He said, “people are stuck in their perception” which is true - though the “gut” is processed perception converted to intelligence - a God-given instrument to anticipate, discern and make the right decision.
Your gut brain is a real thing and may be aware of things your conscious perception is missing. Don’t ignore it but don’t rely on it.
Habibi
It was my father's job, in WW2, to work behind enemy lines and bring out downed allied pilots. I asked him how he survived. He said you go by your gut, ignore intelligence. If it feels bad, get out. I have been in this situation twice now, I got out, and I survived a bombing and a coup.
Ya when I don't trust my intuition, that's when things went bad. Our instincts pick up on these little subtle things, like body language and what not. It's almost like studying stuff so much has caused him to start overthinking things. No longer being able to just instinctually know and having to over analyze to know.
So your an American. Congrats.
Untrained ppl don’t know there is another option. Why does healthcare have to be free? Why can’t it cost a penny?
Everything feels bad to me so now I trust my gut and I don't go anywhere, do anything, or talk to anyone because my instinct is that nothing is safe and everyone is an immediate danger to my survival.
@@roxyrhodes3035 you can’t escape death, none of us can. Don’t let fear prevent you from actually living in the meantime.
He is not traing us to be Narcissistic....just to be aware and have knowledge...Listening to this gentleman has SAVED MY LIFE.....I am now continuing to pusue perspectives...No more contempt prior to investigation....Thank you Andrew for inspiring me to increase grey brain cells!
Happy to see all of your success, Stephen! These guys are just getting started. With what sounds like a bigger production coming with the best guests on any podcast, you guys will be at 20MM subscribers by 2027.. You'll see. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work.
I grew up in an extremely dangerous neighborhood. My gut saved my life so many times. I literally learned the hard way to trust my gut. Life was better after.
my daughter had told e m yes mo we going on out yearly vaca... hmm okay I went every year for 5 years... but something did not feel right... well I got picture of where we'd stay.. my guts say yeah they really don't want me to go this time.... I said well I am gonna just start training I hope you guys have fun .. she sensed I felt something she say no the kids are expecting you... you gonna disappoint them..well okay but my gut said something was not right... then the day they left I got the address after they;left! I said you know what I am not going this year she said you gonna make the kids cry I told them you were coming... I said you know I just got the address...mom how could you do this..they are expecting you... I then jump on the highway to get there not feeling right regardless of her words my gut said no you should not go... well I been there a day I told my granddaughter to stop being disrespectful... she started screaming mom and Dad said you should not even be here you did give them 200 dollars for the ABand B ... I was heartbroken... I was just in tears... ( well I wanted to stay to start training for my new job, I had mostly taken care of them and only worked part-time! I thave excellent credit 40,000 worth of credit I was going pay for all tickets and food to make up for it) ... well I have not been the same... I do not talk to my daughter and her husband and things have not been the same with me and my granddaughter, now here is a good gut story... I applied for 8 jobs they all said I was hired great hmmm which one should I chose... well I accepted All of them why I do not know it just felt like I should! but guess what ! only one of them actually called me to train even thought I had offer letter and a statement saying we will be in touch to give you training dates and times and congratulatory letters FROM ALL 8 OF THEM! !! had I chosen the ONLY one that paid $2 more and hour and not accepted all of them ... I WOULD HAVE noT MADE ALMOST $90,000 a sales rep with the only job that actually gave me training and kept good on their offer letter!! I never sold before and made $15,000 the previous year IN CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!! SO trust your gut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you show respect in a AKA Dangerous neighborhood and dont show weakness, or be a trouble maker? you are fine in any neighborhood. Go to other countries in europe, asia, or africa, middle east those have real dangerous neighborhoods, but you still need show respect and youl earn it.
Your "gut" is your subconscious coalescing all the information your sensory system inputs in real-time. It's a super computer that takes all the input you aren't consciously aware of and spits out a flag after instantly comparing all the input data to previous case-studies stored in your long term memory. It's an incredible system if it was trained correctly like machine learning. It's your best friend, because it's always invested in your immediate survival. What this guy should have said, is you should identify your gut feeling, than ask yourself questions that either concur that thesis, or disproves it, not ignore it entirely. The real lesson here is don't listen to guys that look like Krusty the Clown because they'll try to convince you it's "The, Bart The", instead of "Die, Bart, Die".
I am trusting my gut that this guy is full of shit!
IS TRUST YOUR GUT? A PREMONITION / HUNCH / FEELING / SPIDEY SENSE ? SUCH A MYSTERY NEBULOUS TERM ? CAN MEAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ? MAYBE IT WAS THE STILL SMALL VOICE OF GOD OR YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL [ HOLY SPIRIT ] GUIDING YOU?
My gut's telling me Trusting* CIA Spy* is *Oxymoronic
This guy is a fraud …. CIA queen maybe …
Exactly.
Looking around at the world we live in, with sex and race at the forefront of conflict, and hearing this guy describing how the CIA has diversified their actions through diversifying their officer profile to include LGBT and minorities, makes me more sure of what my intuition tells me about how these agencies stir these problems.
@@user-zf4uz3hy8z Those orgs fought homosexuality 50 years ago, now they promote it. The idea was that fornicators (which includes all homosexuals by definition) are easily corruptable. Edgar Hoover used it against his rivals. The bankers and the mafia used Hoover to control the politicians. Thats how it started. The mafia in the US were not italian btw, its a lie, they just looked italian 🙂
I am SO INSPIRED in humanity by the comments section 🙌🏽🙏🏽👊🏽
The man is a all around secretive straight-up machine who is using the skills he has developed into a talent to create a financial situation necessary to take care and raise his family........ I respect that ,and myself much more!!!
I wake up and this was playing on KZhead good interview bro 💯👍🏼💙✨🔥
Be careful of falling asleep on KZhead or any video service/music. You are most vulnerable when you are asleep because you are not physically alert and you’re in a spiritual dream state so you consume a lot of things on the outside. Be careful with you’re listening to and outwardly consuming when you’re sleeping because it affect you in a lot of bad way whether you realize it or not.
As soon as he said don't trust your gut....my gut said next video. It was a good gut call
Lmfaooooo
COL, (chuckled out loud)
Facts
I’m a CIA spy…. I’m so special… I’m telling you everything. You should listen to me. I smarter than you….. foh
His information was really powerful. He explained how to not respond with fear but instead to rationalize with logic so you overcome it. That’s amazing insight for relationships and marriage. We hear the wrong things when we respond with emotion instead of seeing it from the other person’s perspective first sometimes. Basically, assess the situation before you address. Lots of good points he made.
The best thing you can do for your soul is to NOT think like the CIA.
I agree.
If you're thinking like the CIA, you'd realize that you shouldn't be taking advice from the CIA.
I didn't think he was recruiting it was a more you know type of interview to me
Straight up all negative energy work items haha
@@derp195😂
This was a brilliant interview!! Where did you find him??? Jeez!! The insights, learnings, teachings, refreshed skills, honesty, transparency, openness…my gosh I could go on! It took me on a journey through my educational studies in psychology, NLP, business and leadership training and delivery up to business today! He posed some real philosophical questions and the conversations around prioritising love was thought provoking, he talked about how anxiety was a superpower, fear…he was so good! I have so many ideas that feed into forthcoming projects 💭 His conversation around perception vs perspective, the piece on fear and the emotional vs logical brain and consumerism shares and highlighted some real gems!💎 Thank you for this interview Andrew, and thank you for conducting the interview and for asking some excellent questions Steven👌. Love the comments at the end about taking action and on identity, which is a whole subject to itself? His parting thoughts on belief and equality were so interesting and he spoke some truths there. I took so many digital notes! Thank you 🙏 One thing I would say or add is that I would and do trust my gut, as your gut is your second brain 🧠 I’m also an NLP practitioner so I could f his views on this interesting. He has some points, however I believe and have tested the Eye Accessing Cues many times and believe and know that it has substance. However, with ‘moral flexibility’, I can see his points in terms of where he is. Coming from so would want to look into this in more detail. As a whole, and based on what he shared, his experiences and the way he articulates and answered every question, he is exceptionally well trained!
He's been on other large podcasts
Yes I noticed him pop up somewhere else after watching this 🙂
The thing is, I'm honest and I value honesty. I value justice, real justice. Cause and effect stuff. This guy is all about "breaking barriers." Let me point you to Chesterton's Wall
If you want to be a great dad 1. Learn to become the best listener you've ever known 2. Learn how to control your anger and your words 3. Be intentional with spending time with your children 4. Never stop reading/or listening to people that have great parenting advice 5. Learn what hills aren't important to die on, and stop dying on them
You forgot: honesty, humility, laughter, and restore your self... love.
And don’t forget to use this advice not to tear down other men.
learn to heal and cleanse everything else will come back to balance, but he knows that he just doesn't want YOU knowing it, he wants you to glorify your mental health issues, not heal them.
This is great advice. I need to work harder at #2. I have anger problems and cuss like a sailor
Me too now my son is teaching other kids how to b a sailor @@brettlott570
There is a big difference in listening to your "gut" and having an emotional reaction to a situation. My gut has never led me wrong, but I did have to learn the difference between the two and how NOT to respond emotionally to any situation I was in. And that does require you train yourself NOT to re-act but to stop and quickly assess the situation BEFORE you respond, rather than allowing yourself to have an emotion driven "knee jerk" reaction.
How are you differentiating it?
Having abusive parents helps you to not have emotional responses.
@@lekcje_rysunku curious on that too... seems like the emotional reactions are defined as wrong and the gut is defined as right and that is it. It'd be interesting to hear if there is more depth beyond that though.
I have been 100% correct while listening to my gut. My behavior is emotionally controlled. Feelings are NOT behavior.
Excellent point.
Gut feeling IS instinct. Always trust this and act on it; you’ll get stronger.
Omg!!! My little boy came out, looked at the TV and asked me "When did The Rock get long hair?" I can stop laughing.

Trusting my gut has saved my life on a number of occasions. Thank you, gut !
Thank you, same here. That not trusting your gut is flawed and I wonder if he's telling the truth!
You're the best gut!
I think he's calling "gut" and emotions the same thing, but they are not the same at all. It's a learned skill to be able to separate them internally.
This guy is still being used by the CIA as a mouthpiece to steer and control the public. Don't trust your gut? The same thing as don't trust yourself. Trust a CIA officer and not yourself?? Really?? Not buying what this guy keeps selling on many long form podcast.

Andrew is one of the most intelligent speakers I ever heard. Thank you to both of you so much from a Russian spectator for these conversation full of profound and inspiring ideas
I'd DEFINITELY TRUST my GUT before a CIA officer or ANYONE in the government... 🤦♀️💔🤔
Trusting gut saves lives.
Exactly. This man wants people to stop listening to themselves, trusting themselves and trust him! That he is a professional liar and manipulator.
So, if someone said: I don't trust ANY American, how do you react?
What if you have bubble guts😮
@@edd9200 I do its even better.
Andrew's advice about selling was pretty much right on. As someone who sold for 25 years, my success came from asking the right questions in the right way, listening, and then helping clients solve problems. Clients want to be heard and helped -- NOT SOLD. thank you
@jodyglaser1 What type of products were you selling? There are a lot of products that that advice doesn't seem applicable to -- like what kind of problems could be solved for a customer looking to buy a car, tv, cellphone, etc
@@MicroMycowhat kind of problem does a car, tv, etc did you ask? Think utilitarian Think status Think meet a need. I’m sure your question is rhetorical.

My father too died when I was very young, didnt know him, I had a step dad by 89 or 90 I think. He was a navy seal. I too was born in 80. I didn't get to serve which broke my heart. No woman has ever broke my heart though.
exactly right, and in another cloak i have made many million dollar deals
You can see how experiences someone talking about they experience you do great job bro keep it up 👍
Dude I thought Will Smith was the interviewer...lol Good video thx, I wish every young person would serve in the military. The Marine corps set me up for life at a young age, so many life skills that I still use today 35 years later.
Making a choice poorly because emotions are clouding your judgement is not the same thing as trusting your gut.
Paranoids always seem to know. HOW DO THEY DO IT?
Right, because following emotions and trusting your gut are two different things. One comes from the trauma, other comes from the intuition (animal instinct kinda). This guy twists it sadly..
@@PandiNova Paranoia is the solution. It keeps the fears validated and makes us look like total losers with zero trust!!!!!!!!! Oh My!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@PandiNovaAnd this is why he’s of great value to them. Not necessarily lying doesn’t mean it’s true. The silky hair also humanizes him as well as throw us off. And it could potentially be used as a way to mock us all. Overall, their tactics have changed since the introduction of social media where personalities that match the 99.9% (whether goofy-looking or regular old Joe) is far more effective than a personality that match the typical gov agent we always see in the movies. This is why they are so effective. Always remember, a former s p y is a dead s p y.
Most important quote from this freakin 2h long conversation: "Bad liars talk a lot." I can see clearly now...

Every time i didn't trust my gut i came to regret it. This world has us trapped in our ego but ego is always based in fears and is the worst liar, we need to get out of our egos and live from the heart.
Same.
Very Well Said!!!
The EGOS of people these Days Are Truly SICK.
Pretty sure ex see eye eh aren't supposed to say they were see eye eh because wherever they were working they had contacts and friends etc. etc. and they were spying. Outing yourself (like this guy is.. supposedly...) outs the people he used, and the country which used him... This thing is fishy
Is your gut not basically your second brain. If hadnt trusted my gut every time I wouldn't be here now

Care to share message and motive please
Extremely interesting interview..loved the difference between perception and perspective 👏🏽👏🏽
The guy is a con artist.
Never trust a CIA agent.

@scribbler0077 Look at this guy would trust him?
You can add the government to this aswell
@@carlnorth3034 wt you talking about
@@carlnorth3034you might want to be more specific. The government covers a lot of bases. While I don't trust politicians and some LEOs, I'd like to trust VA nurses and most customer service representatives of different agencies. I'd also like to trust the DOT, FAA, & TSA are during their jobs. Oh, and Coast Guard!
Before spending two hours watching the video, my gut told me to read the comments quickly. One of the comments talked about this guy saying “CIA follows human rights and country laws”. As soon as I read that I quickly left. My gut saved me two hours of wasted time. I thanked my gut. 👏

This is the best fucking podcast ever Bro. You are amazing! I've been telling all of my friends about you. Other podcasters can get all the top people on their podcast but if they don't ask them the questions to get to deeper levels and really pull things out of them that they otherwise wouldn't talk about.Then everyone else's podcast is just exactly one hundred percent the same as their counterparts. Great job Steven and team
I used to ignore my gut all the time and I always regret it. Now I follow my gut even if it does not make sense from a brain perspective. My gut is right most of the time.
You miss what he was talking about. Few understand. Few are intelligent enough to understand what he's saying.
@@cherylmay595intelligence has nothing to do with following your gut
I trust my gut quite often. Really applies as it relates to bowel movements. 😆
can you prove it? I'd be interested in knowing a few examples of what you are saying. I don't know how to follow my gut.
@@zaiten2012 For me that does nearly, never happen. But if it does, you will know. At the least afterwards.
I think he should have said "don't trust compulsive fearful thoughts". Your gut is quite good at giving you warnings without being based in emotion.
Love that ❤
Very important observation 👌
so, you rather have a well scripted response rather than an honest response?
Gut is quite good for giving warning but not qualified to validate or invalidate the legitimacy and veracity of this warning. This is where reason comes in.
100%. They don’t want you to listen to your gut, JUST them. So they say you’re natural instincts are wrong when they’re almost always right. Thr pre-training is already done by plucking them from the right families and they finish the job of telling them they are fundamentally wrong inside. You see a great example in this man here who fully buys or, or at least claims to.

Back to the mines, soldier
I’m the crew boss of a 20 person Initial Attack Fire Crew. I’m trusting my gut and I teach my crew to trust their gut.. In my “perception” your head thinks it knows it all, your heart is too emotional to know anything. The gut is literally where you developed into a human, it tells you when you’re hungry, it tells you are sick, it’s what filters all the good and all the bad.. It is literally and metaphorically speaking what keeps you alive! But he also said that he only feared being surveyed once he was either really good or he just convinced me to sign up with the CIA as if it were a e-comm side hustle and safer alternative to the career choice I’m currently under…
That's scary, that there is a systemic institution, which hauls out sociopaths and psychopaths from the society and empowers them in skills, which make them powerful. How might that end up? Also kudos to Andrew for honesty.
Human nature is what it is! So how are we suppose to defend ourselves ? Fight evil with artificial evil. You have to be able to beat the bad ppl at their own game or else they take over....like now in 2024.
There were already psychopaths who are put in their positions by manipulating the ignorant to gain their power and it's obvious they succeed. You haven't wandered how they can fool so many ppl ? Well, how else to know these things unless you find someone who can be trained to be on their level. How else you gonna figure it out? That's the problem....and ignorant way of looking at this podcast. You just heard him more or less claim he's a liar and there you choose to stay ignorant and a small thinker cuz you can't handle the rest of the information ....so you stay amongst the weak and the EASILY controlled. Smh....sad.
it ends up with the current John Brennan OBAMAGATETRAITORS who are trying to destroy the USA from within.
You end up with the deep state. Warmongers who control your access to information and who go around the world starting shit with other countries. Exactly what’s been happening for the past half century. Exactly what Eisenhower warned against.
Basically with the world we have now - totally fucked up! These sociopaths and psychopaths have been trained in all areas of government & public life - politicians, corporations, banking, big industries. This is why we have psychopaths that rule the world. All they do is manipulate people to get what they want.
My gut feeling tells me not to trust this guy… And I will never go against my gut feeling.
I agree

I've heard Andrew several times. This was the best- great questions, not too much personal stories. Thank you
It is not actually about equality, it is about having character. Cause if one has character, you do what is good for you as well as what is good for others.
That's a dangerous and illogical thought you just conveyed. By what standard is your character judged? Religion, society, law, culture, etc... Is this a game show "America Has Character?" And if it were how many would fail the audition? Define Good. What's good for you? What's good for others? Are you even good at applying this goodness? What may not be good for others and vice versa. And if it is good for you but isn't good for others how do you do good for others what you don't do for yourself yourself? In this good you do for others can you give too much or too little or is there a Goldilocks formula of Just Right? There are no absolutes to the character or goodness...
@@phoqueewe7230 Nonsense! She's absolutely right. Things aren't all so relative.

Why will I trust a stranger before myself? My gut feeling has never let me down. Always on point!
Right on. Only times I've gone down the wrong path is when I have not paid attention to my own gut,
@@lowell62 that take guts.....
It feels like his gut feelings would let him down but that is exactly why he was hired by an organisation who could control even his own needs and desires. Thanks fully we are not all like that and many of us have the guts to follow our own feeling states. however I do think he had some good advice about not trusting our own prejudices and assumptions. This for me is different from our gut.
But sometimes listening to our gut does not necessarily mean following it, right? But rather, collecting useful information from it about the other person’s emotions and potential motives?
why would you need to trust to listen and filter information?
I am going to continue to trust my "gut", or my intuition, because it has a perfect track record and hasn't been wrong once. If fact, every time I ignore it I get punished.
I love your comment!
Me too.
because feelings are the language of the soul.
Exactly Right !
Better yet. Anybody who tells you not to trust you gut, is trying to manipulate you.
This the best interview with Bustamente. Because it focuses on what Bustamente is an expert on. Other interviews where he pontificates about world affairs are so obviously uniformed and distorted. Yet he's used his spy skills to convinve weak interviewers thsat he is an expert on worklde affairs and was an intelligence officer (not just an operative) at the CIA.
Vuyo from South Africa, Bustamante is just incredible smart, CIA did not start from scratch training. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up
Not trusting your gut is like not trusting what you are smelling.
That is an excellent way of describing "trusting your gut".
LOL, I love that
You totally have to listen to your emotions and 'gut feeling', maybe not ONLY trust them, but you certainly should not train yourself to cut yourself off from them! I think he seems too focussed on how to be 'successful' in business.
I agree with the fact that trusting your gut is sometimes a wrong idea. But there are many cases where you have to believe it. Rational reason and your gut must work together. Instinct feat. critical analysis = access to the truth. But if the truth is not found after that, it is better to choose the truth of reason and not your gut....I think.
Our gut instinct is there for a reason. It's not something accidental which happened in our evolution.
His definition of barriers describe how people limit others and how to influence others to act.
18 minutes in- dude is legit. He is telling the facts about how one can turn out when growing up in basically disregard and solitude with having basic needs met. Truth also how psychopathic traits develop....TRAITS being the key word there- also facts about how everybody has secrets and that everyone lies. Ppl get mad and think everyone should be honest and get pissed if someone cops to it and admits it... But they do the same crap only don't admit it. This dude is telling it how it is - psychology and sociology evidence even backs it. Great interview and great channel content! Subscribed!⭐
Anyone else think it's odd that he speaks so freely about intelligence & is still alive??
Yup... My first thought was that this sounds like something straight out of the show "NAKITA".
you think it's odd because you perceive mere information as intelligence. lol
only been 1 day
and think that hes not deceptive and lying to you trhough the podcast, cause agent deception
He's on the payroll
CIA guy pops up out of nowhere and seems to now be everywhere and everyone is just like...oh ya, i'll take his advice, LMFAO
Just like others who popped up out of nowhere & people are listening to them despite there being many who have been exposing the same issues for years yet the new ones are spotlighted all over - sus at best
Always read between the lines. I listened to it all. You gotta listen thru what's real and what isn't
He seems so confident
Retired? Yeah right! 😉 😜
More motivational speaker than CIA. Geo politics on China are off. He does not know a democracy has life cycle Ah Rome it did not fall in a day .

Wow great informative show. Thank you to both of you.
This strikes me as so sad. A heart broken human being giving advice, learned through his brokenness about how to manipulate people, & advising a disconnected world to further disconnect and not trust their gut. I see so much pain in his eyes & I hope he finds truth, self love & safe, meaningful & loving connection.
Spot on
And yet none of that will keep our (your) nation safe when the wolves come knocking.
Okay but so many people say what his mom said is okay, as far as loving your spouse more. There’s tons of articles written by both men and women saying this is the proper “order” of love. Funny though I see it the opposite but similar logic as his mom, I have to love my child therefore that love is stronger because my spouse will survive and has survived without my love, it’s unlikely a child can feel content without their parents love
He not at fault, is the goverment who takes these broken people. Also remember there people like this working for the goverments someone has to do these types of jobs since the dawn of civilization. Religions were the firts to do this kind of things.
its scientific sociopathy
So right from his introduction, he is someone that no one can trust...
valid.
yup. and pretty sure you never "leave" the cia anyway
😂
At least he admits it
Great critical thinking skills, I hope you didn't watch the entire video. You really didn't miss anything.
This is absolutely fascinating. Keep the context in which he is speaking constantly in mind, and there is a lot to take away from all of this, even if it's knowing on an intellectual level. Will need to watch multiple times. I feel the split you would have to make between your true self and the "manipulative" self that would meet the skills he talks of is something I would not want to make in my life. But he does speak of a lot of gems of information,. Thank you.
Whoever is editing your intros **deserves a darn raise**
Always trust your gut. It isn't based on emotions. It just happens and is accurate.
Trusting your gut is another of our senses added to the other 6, never ignore it.
The gut is based on emotions…. Emotions open doors to be manipulated. He says don’t trust your gut … he meant “work” past your feelings according to the task at hand.
@@alexgaytan3481the comment sais the gut is NOT you emotions...he s right ..but one may comfuse the 2 jst learn discernment
Yeah, let's put "intuition" - data free decision-making, IN CHARGE of the actions process. This fruitloop doing the podcast rounds WILL SAY ANYTHING for attention. He's decided The Revelation is real NOW!!
Yes, he’s confusing perception with gut instinct, they’re not the same thing.
When he said " we will ALL fu*k up as parents, but its how much/bad will you fu*k them up".... I felt that
Q
Thats not fair.
Yep, being 'messed', myself, I herd that, too. For what it's worth, unwillingly becoming a parent presented me with the choice to perpetuate the original 'sin' or 'errors' of my messed up family/society, or to do as the guest suggests and model a more 'healthy' possibility for my kids. Of course, it's seldom 'easy', but it really comes down to 'simple' day-to-day choices in 'how' we relate to others that anyone can make. Just wish that my particular traumas etc would have led me to becoming a hyper-achiever like these guys :)
I think he was say.. you have to be the bigger person and admit you faults as a parent. No one is a perfect person.
We don't all f up as parents. When you try your best you do you best, life's surprises are not your fault. Some parents are bad parents though, the selfish people as parenting requires you give of yourself and make sacrifices, for new humans you created who may end up ungrateful and one of those selfish people themselves. You are more likely to screw up if you had bad parents though, because you model your own parenting after them because it is what you know inherently.
I think what he means by don’t trust your gut is don’t make decisions based on emotion. Gut is more instinctual in which emotions can cloud our instincts, making us think we are listening to our gut because we feel strongly about something. The gut is more of a signal to our bodies rather than something that’s decided by thinking or through emotion.
While I completely understand the "clinically trained psychologist" below and their unease with "not trusting your gut." However, the ability to rely on your head instead of your gut is due to training and can be turned on or off at will, depending on the situation. So, that isn't a continuous problem. My wife is a mental health counselor and works with trauma clients all of the time. She is responsible for helping me cope with my PTSD from 15 years of government service, including multiple combat deployments. Without my wife's help, I would not have survived. One of the aspects of my personality that she noticed was my ability to compartmentalize various memories of trauma, before my government service and after it. So, she saw my ability to compartmentalize as a coping skill. It's nearly impossible to make such sweeping judgments from a video without a true clinical evaluation. The willingness to make such a general statement leads me to question the veracity of the commenter's claims. I'm not making the same type of judgment, I'm simply asking the question. Be well.
Not trusting my gut would have killed or harmed me years ago.
@stefyroxanne7567 I don’t get that advice either going from my own experience. If you want to make it in a world full of liars go for it. But if you want to find authentic truthful people trust your gut!
Agreed. I think your gut is far more than emotion…your gut is intuitive, compiling subconsciously all sorts of signals…ie: the book “Blink” I can agree not to make decisions based on emotion…
same here - he forgets that in everyday life this might be bad advise, intuition and gut feeling are not to be underestimated …
Coming from a guy who's mom said she 'had to love him.' He can't trust *his* emotions or intuition because that led him to assume wrong in the past. There are times when we should ignore our emotions and need for quick validation, but that's different than following your instincts on something... The gut is like a second brain. It is a neural network. The health of your gut directly influences everything.
But will it kill hoy tomorrow?
My gut has saved me and some people around me on several occasions. I ALWAYS go with my guts.
There’s a big difference having a gut feeling on placing a bet. Or having a gut feeling you are not in a safe environment. I absolutely agree with you. It was a great lesson on not being lied to or being taken advantage of.
My gut has saved me too... mostly from eating Taco Bell or at the local cheap Chinese restaurant
Even the gut reponce is operating on a Very safe measurement of "Learning" Keep Learning eyes open!
@@GoodWoodWorks-le4cd a gut feeling is the same as a emotional reaction. Vs saying gut use your conscience thoughts because that’s in fact it. Because unless it makes you feel sick hungry feeling it’s not a gut feeling
I think it’s highly irresponsible of him to scorn intuition like that. People need to frame his words within the fact he admits to his several sociopathic traits. It’s like stating that we need consumers to remain ignorant… and the sociopathic attitude sees it as normal. He admits to moral flexibility, where he has principles, but he might get new ones tomorrow. Everything he said will lead untrained minds to erroneous conclusions and behaviors. By the way, to get all that knowledge you don’t need to be part of the CIA. you just have to study psychology or organizational behavior 😅. Most of the stuff he mentioned is common knowledge amongst university students, or at least amongst 4-year university graduates.
I connected with Andrew's comments about emotions being negative. I've never heard anyone speak this way about people who are driven to irrational behavior by their emotions. You can have sympathy for people who seem all would up by jealousy or insecurity, but they often cause damage to people around them. And because they are so would up in their own hurt, they have no resources to care about the people they are hurting. I think we should have better terminology for the good emotions. If a song moves you, or you cry during a movie scene where someone is feeling emotional or physical pain, or you feel all warm seeing a young child laugh with joy, that is a good thing - empathy. The bad emotions cause the opposite of empathy. So many people sabotage their close relationships, and the possibility of having a contented life because they haven't learned to examine their emotions and see them clearly. When people are so protected that they can't even talk about what they said and did, they change the subject or blame others, they are never going to start understanding themselves. We don't talk about this enough.
Ended too abruptly - he was finally letting you into how he really feels
Trusting my Gut is my Northstar. Always has been always will be. 🙏🏼❤️
So good!! Team DOAC ❤️
yes, that's because you are NOT a psychopath. Psychopaths do not have that connection to the soul that non-psychopaths have. The gut feeling has saved my life more than once.😘 I am an empath.
@@r.p.8906 That is true. But even psychopath has a mind to calculate cost benefit of the action they will take. The difference is what comes after the mind confirmed to go doing the action.
A recent guest said that intuition is our unconscious store of past experiences.
I think he's just untrained in the spiritual. He's lumping the gut and intuition in with the emotions and tossing them away except when they're used to recognizing how to appear sympathetic. They can also be used to analyze... But this is not something he's developing
My question is how much of the actual "truth" is he allowed to share without "fearing" for potential consequences. With that said, listening to this with an open yet critical mindset.
the united states government and the cia would not allow a real spy to run around doing podcasts like him....this guy is full of shit and not a spy
He isn't just out here talking without someone's approval.
Exactly
Exactly! I always think that when ppl like this are invited
I think he touched on it at some point somewhere else. Whatever they decide is the appropriate level. also a judgement call. We're not about to hear something juicy classified "who ended JFK, I have all the documents" type stuff of anyone expected that
wow that's so harsh to hear as a child!!! "I HAVE to love you, i have no choice." I feel like there may be something lost in translation? (I hope) Like ..."loving you is natural and its just the way it is. I'll never not love you, i can't not love you.." very different. and with dad - "i have to be more intentional with my love for him because it's a choice so i actively have to love him more"
I enjoyed the part about inoculating against fear. That was a good advice!
My gut has helped me several times. It was so strong, it’s difficult to put into words. I followed it. Listen to your “gut” can be God talking to you.
You might be due for a colonoscopy.
Very well-said. I think of gut and intuition as being connected - where that little voice or prompting is my future self yelling back in time "hey, I wouldn't do that sh*t if I were you!"
It's God using your guardian angels communicating with you at times, other times it's the demons
my gut helps me eat good food.
Idk why they call it gut. I think of it more of a thought that’s almost a worry of what is about to happen in the future. Or atleast for me. Get a super uneasy feeling as if something isn’t right and then thoughts of whatever it was that ended up happening. Like in the military I had these feelings before all hell broke looses and was in a really bad wreck and the entire drive had a super uneasy feeling that I was going to be in a wreck until we came up on a wreck and stopped both lanes and then I felt as if it was maybe just that until the sound of a horn then was rearended in my semi pulling over sized by another semi, or last year when we had a intruder that started pulling a handgun on me and having to use deadly force against him. Maybe I’m crazy idk but the closest I’ve ever felt to god was while at war with rounds going over head and hitting all around me and that wreck and the intruder incident . Because everything slows down and millions of things go through your mind at one time in acouple seconds but it’s as if it’s one second is slowed to your entire life time day by day and it’s as you miss nothing and understand clearer then you ever have but you have no worry or more of coming to peace with the out come and you pray that your family will be okay and handle the loss. Hopefully this all made sense I have a tbi and grammar is not my strong suit anymore 😅 so sorry for that if it’s a struggle to read and understand
It's not that I don't trust my gut. It's that I don't trust this guy.
I don't trust this guy AND I don't trust my gut. There's a thing called LOGIC... I trust that.
@@opentrunk YOu can trust your gut if it's based in logic and reasoning other perspectives. Sometimes that happens in an instant. I think his message needs refining but it's a good cutting start.
@@opentrunk There is also a thing called intuition. When you need to make split second decisions that might save your ass, you can't sit there running scenarios through your head. Think of it as a machine learning algorithm being trained ahead of time to be able to respond in a split second instead of spending multiple seconds thinking through different scenarios while you get fucked.
@@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181 Exactly. The going with your gut is not random. It's based on life experience and evolutionary traits developed over millions of years with our ancestors escaping death in a split second instead of taking out their pipe and smoking while drawing up a plan.
are you using your gut for that haha perfecto
A person suffering trauma or chronic illness will also show similar patterns, I hope they're not taken for liars.
It’s really sad to know all the secrets, you don’t have peace of mind. You think you know it all but then you know nothing.
The main thing I learned is that it is the person asking the question who is controlling the conversation, not the one talking the most. I'm going to work on that.
My dad taught me this when I was a kid, still working on it 😅
Only valid thing from the interview, it's like that psychological thing - Do not overshare
Common sense really….
@@Mel130673 I don't know about that. If it were common sense, most of us would talk a lot less than we do but we don't. I have intentionally started training myself to shut up and just ask questions most of the time, especially in casual social situations where outcome is not as important. It's harder than you'd think.
That's how interviewers tend to operate tbf
The way my mom explained it was simple to understand. She said "i love all my children, but your father will be the last one living in the house with me, and you will have someone else living with you whom you love." I immediately understood.
Huh
I don't understand that at all. My child is the most important thing, the thing I love most in the world forever and always.
Both of these ideas are true to me. However I believe children do not stay children, they grow up and have families, homes, lives and even sometimes children of their own. If you are their "forever protector" you are in part denying them at least a portion of that role. Not to mention the fact that if viewpoints differ between your spouse and child, if there is a disagreement and you have to pick sides, your spouse or partners opinion should just automatically hold more weight. They are supposed to be your chosen partner in creating future adults if you have children. Perhaps this is the reason so many of the youngest generation are taking longer to become adults, if they ever do. There comes a time when allowing them to become everything they could be, means you have to step back.
I agree! The problem with marriages nowadays, parent put their kids before their spouse!
@@skystarlit3713 My child is grown, with a family and career, neither of which I'm especially overinvolved with. We don't talk every day, and with travel maybe even every week. But the unconditional, unwavering, love of that child above anything and anyone is an undercurrent -- a reliable stream that underpins and provides, ultimately, a measure of security of emotion in a world that has few guarantees. That's the one guarantee I can provide. And I'm happy to give it, however much it is in the background.
Awesome interview. Thanks for that.
People criticizing so much. Instead of appreciating all the Amazing Information he is sharing 😎
Some good lessons here but there is a great difference between intelligence and wisdom. I have no wish to be a great liar or manupulator and will continue trusting my gut to know when I've come in contact with inauthentic people like this.
I have the feeling that when he talks about the gut, he only means emotions. These 2 do not mean the same thing. Gut knows what to do, liberated from emotions
The gut is spiritual. It resurrects the dead on a daily basis.
Thank you, I ll think about it. 🙏@@justanotherguy469
Exactly! So many people conflate the gut/intuition with emotion. If you don’t sit with yourself long enough you don’t learn how to trust your full self sadly. Learning to trust my intuition has been a practice because emotion actually can get in the way of
Facts. This is a psyop to lead you astray into fantasy thinking you gotta ignore your gut to be a spy. Witchcraft
Good point!
'That gut feeling' has a meaning. When something feels off, it probably is.
What he basically talks about is Mindfulness! saying 'gut' may mean different things to different people. The bottom truth is that each person has biases and some of them are so deep that they control the 'guts'. So, call it as you want, it means "don't let your intrinsic bias to disturb your sense of reason' . And don't take your beliefs for granted. they were forged by multiple biases on top of the biases of you parents, your friends and your society. Mindfulness teaches you how to clear yourself from that and see reality in a brighter eyes.
