Former CIA agent explains the TRUTH about intelligence agencies | Andrew Bustamante

It is so refreshing to listen two smart people having a conversation.

Andrew is an OG. You can tell he’s a good dude with a good heart but he’s also realistic. Love him. Glad you had him on David!

So true when he said, paraphrasing here"we have the right to be happy, but not at the expense of our neighbors, we have to co-exist". And "the primary job of Congress is protecting American national security interests and making sure our society gets stronger, NOT undermine the purpose and intent of your office". Some in Congress are intent on taking away individual citizens right and also fundamentally changing government to a more authoritarian regime

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer Bolivia 2000-2003 but stayed 5 years...I love this guy's stories

Mr. Bustamonte. is probably the most fascinating I have seen on your program. He held my attention deeply. I originally began to watch simply because it was the next video in line and your videos are part of my routine. I have learned several bullet points from these few minutes of his discussion, the importance of questions being able to redirect energies and engaging within individuals. Absolutely fascinating. If this young man has a book, I am most certainly going to read it. Thank you for introducing me to AndrewBustamonte.

I love listening to that guy. He is so clear with his communication.

Congratulations David - great interview. This is by far the most fascinating conversation I have heard in a long time. Your questions were excellent and Mr. Bustamante's answers were extremely clear and to the point.

Andrew is a very well spoken guest. Appreciated his insights.

Absolutely FABULOUS conversation!!! Thank you Mr. Bustamante for your service to our country!! 🇺🇸🗽

I could listen to this guy all day. Andrew is such an interesting person with engaging opinions and stories.

One of the best interviews yet. Good job David and look forward to your next video.

Finally. Bustamante is interviewed by someone with more than two brain cells😂. Finally a good line of questioning for this dude..

I'm amazed that he doesn't ring an alarm for how Trump would make America one of the chaos countries he describes

Great interview, David. I got a lot out of it. Love to buy Andrew a beer sometime

This dude could pull off as your typical hipster stoner on the street. But after hearing him speak, he is very interesting and intelligent. He’s very well spoken and explains things clearly. I like him. Great interview David.

This was an absolutely fascinating interview. I could watch many more episodes of it!

David, Thank you. This was a very interesting conversation. Mr. Bustamante was articulate and clear, your questions were thoughtful and encouraging for him to answer. Great content.

Interesting convo

As a person who works in federal government consulting industry across agencies for 16 years - Bustamante is 100% correct that the majority of people who go into the national security arena are more progressive and liberal overall. And it’s also entirely correct to say each agency has its own culture. Even in DHS - there are a lot of more liberal people there. Be glad there are both “sides” because Bustamante is also correct that the world is not as ideal right now as one would hope. For example- I’m left of center, but I don’t care about the “feelings” or childhood trauma of sex traffickers, drug lords and I’m no longer naive enough to think they can be “rehabilitated”. Or, in DOD, you had better be pretty cognizant that Putin, Xi Jinping, and many of their followers, are psychopaths and “negotiating” with them not to release some bio agent somewhere in the US water supply. Negotiating with them would be like negotiating a car ride with Ted Bundy or a dinner date with Jeffrey Dahmer - sure, you can try - but you’re stupid if you think negotiating with them in normal terms will never matter to them, and you better be on your toes, and have your gun ready.

What an incredible man! Thank you for your service to our country.
