Full episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AaDq8g7II_E.html Danny Jones Podcast channel: www.youtube.com/@Koncrete Annie Jacobsen is a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author. Her newest book Nuclear War: A Scenario looks deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment & is based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made.

Just purchased a bunch of her audiobooks because she does the narrations and I love military history. She’s the best!

"He's 87, why would he take this big wad of cash to a 3rd world country?" That is part of the reason that he made 87!

I got to meet Billy Waugh in 2017. A good friend introduced me and others in a small group. We had lunch and bs'd for a couple hours. The man was a riot. Told stories. Stalking bin Laden. Dog cussing Bill Clinton and a few others. Busted our balls as if he had been friends with us for years. A chance to meet a real legend. RIP Mr Waugh

"Did he pay to have your table fixed?" Wtf dude that's what you get hung up on lol

Annie is an amazing writer and brilliant mind. Billy Waugh was.....Billy Waugh. No one else like him. He was a true warrior on so many levels.

My uncle served with billy in Nam. My uncle was issued the congressional Medal of Honor along with Bennie Adkins for their actions in Vietnam.

Billy Waugh is a Special Forces legend. His skills were of great use to the CIA. LEGEND!!!

Woman... your voice....I'm sold!

The CIA has had a strange definition of the term terrorist. So, there's that.

I love her voice. I wish she would read me bedtime stories.

Facsinating, stimulating awesome discussion. I love you both beautiful humans.

So many books and movies about spies and assassins but who has befriended the real thing? I'm not celebrating what this man did, rather, pointing out how unique this guy was, the skill set and contacts, the knowledge base, courage and effectiveness. A world class Bad Ass. WOW. Thrilling, Scary, and Disgusting...all at the same time.

I know an ex Delta Force guy who was recruited from there into SAD/SOG as an operator. And he has been involved in the private sector of the MIC since leaving SAD/SOG in a related capacity assessing security vulnerabilities of high value installations. Many times I have asked him for just one true story that would blow my mind. But he insists that everything he did with SAD/SOG was and is still classified and that he’s already told me the one thing he could tell me that isn’t. I won’t get into specific details to protect his identity, but the gist is: He was on a CIA helicopter spying on another special operations branch and he and the other CIA personnel knew that personnel from this other branch had made an error that was going to result in the deaths of multiple members of that group (which it did). They could have intervened to prevent these preventable deaths, but didn’t. So that’s a bit surprising (i.e., the CIA choosing to allow American service members to die). But what’s also surprising (to me, at any rate), is that the CIA covertly spies on various branches of our own military to obtain bargaining chips at the Pentagon. That’s not my speculation; that’s the reason he gave me in answer to “Why were you guys spying on them?”

I have 3 (I think) of Annie's books. All great!

Billy did what Billy was told to do.

So many twists and turns in intelligence it's a wonder we are still alive . and now Ukraine. ...I love her voice

Right?

One of the best books I've read lately

The mission is not “Oscar 8”. Oscar 8 was the site of the NVA Headquarters in South Vietnam West of the A Shau Valley in Northern Laos. We sent more than Billy into that area. SOG teams literally disappeared and were never heard from again. It was a SOG hot spot and the most dangerous are in all of Indo China. Every time in we got our butts kicked. It was never taken.

Billy is an absolute legend, real life action hero and probably one of the deadliest/most skilled CIA operators in the history of the agency. Many legitimate people have told stories of meeting him, working with him etc.

Stories go around and around and around and around

I absolutely love your show. Recently discovered and admiring. My one suggestion technically, you have all these incredible people on your show INCREDIBLE.. Please get better lighting. On multiple shows its just hard to watch. Be kind with it, not just blinding and harsh. Love you, respect you. Make it better bb

Right,right,right,right

Annie is an awesome autheress with a killer voice. Love you Annie.

How is this woman so great ? Can she ever get to the point?

The games people play…….

I find it fascinating how gullible people are and will believe anything someone tells them.

right right? right? right right right? right? right???? right?

Was Billy married? How about an interview with Mrs. Waugh!?!? Imagine Annie and Mrs. Waugh having a conversation and sharing “Their” stories! There are few if any audio biographies of interviews with the wives of the men who changed the course of history, lived history, or the men, such as Mr Waugh, who made history we never knew of. Annie’s voice…. Charming, intoxicating, beautiful.

The story about him cheating during the death duel was so funny and yet telling how he thought.

Please make movies about his missions. Would be in box office

It's an incredible shame the only vidoe interview Waugh ever did was a 30-min shot show by the interviewer. How Joe Rogan never had this dude on for a 5 hour podcast is an absolute crime. Dude worked for the agency for 70 yrs.

WOW SHE HAS AGED DRAMATICALLY....

The old man was wild. I'd like to know what her resume is, and why Billy agreed for her to get really close to him and the one to be selected to tell his life story

Is there anyone else who can help anyone in this country?

Billy waugh was a legend and all operators carry cash like that in a pocket out of country just as I assume he wore a Rolex watch not only because it's a automatic but because if you need to get over a border without a passport everyone anywhere knows what a Rolex is and everybody wants u.s currency it's common practice for seals green berets agency contractors just ask Sean Ryan.

No disrespect but this woman has the most amazing voice.

Billy was a character, but destructive.

The Hanoi story. Anyone capable carries a blade in high crime countries, so his point about the fork was really that he would carry a knife, like always.

It is something to think about for all. To be at war and see all the horrors that man can and will do to other men does beg one to seek any means to end the war as early as possible. Such was the case for ending WW2 in Japan. Here we are on the brink of WW3 maybe and with all of the modern weapons we have at our disposal now and what kind of carnage that will bring to our cities. I remember the episode of Star Trek where two civilizations had been fighting but were so abhorred of all the killing that they let computers do the fighting and decide how many were killed on both sides. Of course, they had to be killed and it all became sanitized and easy, and that is why it went on forever. They forgot how war was ugly and when the computers were destroyed they didn't know what they were going to do. Maybe one day we will get there with AI. Hopefully not. But watching the war in Ukraine and the soldiers being killed by all of these drones and having no way to protect themselves really scares me for our sons and daughters if and when they will have the next call to go abroad. So everyone better start thinking about the present condition of things today. Our world isn't the same as yesterday. It's a whole new ball game out there.

The F word stood for frustration in his life

Annie’s voice is ASMR

I wonder if Billy knew Bob Goeman, the original Tunnel Rat.

I like Annie but going to start a movement against the phrase/word "right?" No. Not necessarily right. "Right?" needs a documentary of its own.

Anyone here read the book?? It looks really interesting.🤨

There needs to be an accurate biopic of this guy

Old guy dies and this lady can say he said anything. Sure.

Funny listening to her try to give advice to the SGM

Terrorists? You mean like parents who are concerned about their childs education?

She always makes it bout her just tell Waugh stories

count how many time you hear right... right... right... right...

the point is, this lady has never met billy Waugh and by just her facial expressions she seems shocked by each question

where was billy when jfk was in dallas in '63? lol

So Extrohhdinary!

‘Did he pay for the table.’ 🙄

" so then me and Billy rode a seesaw while writing a screenplay , then the cia guy said , hey, let's drop acid....wtaf😅

Also wonder who the current "Billy waugh" of today is. Dale Comstock gave a bit of that vibe

For someone who researches agents, spies and CIA operatives, I find it so stupid that she had to wonder and ask why he has £10,000 in cash. Excuse me ma’am they don’t want any trail that leads back to them, also with cash it’s easier to purchase what you need as you go, in emergencies he has cash on him instead having to try find someone to get that money for him etc..

I have a feeling there’s some fact and a lot of fiction embedded in these stories. She knows how to promote herself, that’s for sure.

I liked Concrete

He rode for the brand. Ride or die?

Fascinating

Off topic: is that a BabyKlok shirt?

Assassins don't go to heaven. Have a think about that.

Right? Right?

Good Men have to evil things in the middle of the night to preserve freedom.

yall wanna know who chuck norris has nightmares about? this guy

I'd rather have a Guy like Billy on my team than Yellow, lily livered Coward.

If that many people know about him, how could he be effective?

Why wouldn’t be the government closed the borders

Yeah,yeah,yeah, right, right= hurry up I want to talk

All the best people knows how to swear artfully...and often.

Right right right right im right right you know what i mean right im telling the truth right you know right like seriously right

Why are people celebrating a CIA drone?

Billy Waugh drax lem sclounts.

❤❤❤

“Terrorists”

Was Billy Waugh the President's man?

Annie- "We had many arousing conversations." Translation: Billy clapped them cheeks.

This "author" ends almost every statement with the word, "right?" So annoying, right? You have the vocab of a 13 year old, right? " And he's like, oh? and I'm like, yeah...

So the question still remains, "How did Billy Waugh kill terrorists as the most deadly CIA assassin ever?" Because this video NEVER SAID. Blocking...

I dont believe this

Give the man an Oscar

87 and a half 😂

This woman doesn't realize how sexy her voice is

sis is getting old.

Stop saying "right"

Vietnam and Laos are two different countries. I’m a backwoods hillbilly and even I know that. Total loss of credibility.

(I’m not trying to be rude but I have to say that you say “right” and “like” so much it’s offputting, and distracting to me as a listener.)

How many times doe this woman say the word "right?" Answer...far too often.

Why would you tell a cia agent to not carry this or that ? Bs detector going off

Different points of view are great especially when they bring practical knowledge. So you have a man that was alive when Japan was nuked, spent his whole life in service of his country at an extremely high level and also very covertly. Basically he had insight on foreign relations, war fighting, tactics, weapon systems, covert missions, etc as well as at least a top secret clearance…basically maybe a handful at best of other Americans possess/ed this level of experience and expertise. But this person laughs his decision off about using the nuke because she knows better?!?! To start she probably doesn’t even realize there are fission and fusion nukes. No more fall out. This is such a plague infecting millions of Americans. I can guarantee she also HATES president Trump. Knows everything and obviously knows better. And sadly, doesn’t even bother to educate herself on a topic she is writing about 😢. Please take the time and educate yourself on where else on this planet they have state sponsored media. Then ask yourself if that’s really where you want to you or your children to live

Cool interview . It would scare A liberal Democrat

Her voice is so sexy

Isn't this the chick that wrote the book that aliens were just strange looking people the Soviet's sent. OMG Come on.

They are talking about a killer like he's a a philanthropist or religious figure

The amount of times she says, "right"?, is nauseating

This woman is so annoying.

She says “right” 500 times……. Very annoying!!!
