The Real Story Behind ATF's Deadly Gunrunning Scandal 'Operation Fast & Furious' I IRONCLAD 

“What they did was terrible, I tried to fix it, I was threatened”… continues working for the ATF for another 10 years. THEN writes a book and tries to portray himself as a hero/victim?! This man has the moral character of a used car salesman. What a joke. Dude is a POS.

Dude stays with the agency for 20yrs after F&F…all you need to know.

Anyone who wants to go work for the ATF is already suspicious!

ATF needs to go away.

Now we learn our own "representatives" work with the cartel.

You didn’t even read the man’s book before bringing him on. I checked out after that one 😂

Who's going to tell this ATF agent that you know it's not constitutional to remove people's firearms

Lovely, prime example of " our government wouldn't do that!?"

ATF is doing just a bad, if not worse, today. I see no reason for BATFE to continue to exist. We have US Marshall’s to handle federal issues, and for now the FBI, but I feel that the FBI should go away, or be diminished to a very specific and small force.

Dude can’t even articulate what an actual straw purchase is.

Fast and furious never ended operation just changed names.I had intel as far back as 2008. This was going on, and as recent as 2023.The name of the game is control and the cartels are most definitely in the pocket as they say.

My family vacationed in Puerto Vallarta during the last week of March 1993, where a shootout occurred the prior November at the Christine Nightclub. Sinaloa Cartel gunmen, disguised as police, massacred Tijuana Cartel members and partygoers. We arrived shortly after, and if you hadn’t known about the incident, you never would have guessed anything from how the locals acted. This incident sparked the all-out war between the cartels

I've listened to this multiple times now. Great interview!

Awesome guest! Not like the DEA guy that was biased and spewed politics.

I am always surprised at the true HEROES you find. Thank you both for your service. QUESTION: I have a question for your guest!!! Who can I notify if a DA's office refuses to do their job by prosecuting an evident murder?( same situation in same place on 48 Hours)

want an illegal gun or the best drugs? find an ATF agent.

Great interview. Very informative.

This is a side of the Fast and Furious story I have not heard. This is why I watch this channel.

I feel like there was si much more information Pete had that he was willing to share. He was so interesting I feel like 45 mins does not do a justice. You definitely should bring him back for a full podcast including his life in NYC aswell.

The ATF should and abolished. Defund the ATF

🤘🤘🤘 love watching everything you do brother.

I worked in a body shop in port orchard Wa, and personally seen 3 guys using the shop after hours. Hiding guns in the big foam bumpers on dodge mini vans. They would put about 6 long guns in each car. And around 8 pistols if they only did pistols. They would cut the big foam crash bar in half. Set the guns down on one side. Then spray lacquer thinner over them. And wait. It would melt the shape partially. Then dump the guns off and start carving the shapes out. And someone would dip the guns in oil and hang them. Then they would spray oil in ziplock bags. Tape them up and place in the bumper. And use deck screws to put back together and reinstall. They bought every model of that at auction they could. Get them across, and swap plates on same color and return empty. And do it over again. They were probably getting around 120 guns a month across the border. They even started taking hairspray and covering the bumper bolts. And using a electric leaf blower to pump dust to stick

As a Kid being an FBI or ATF agent was a dream job now as an adult the few times I have had the agencies reach out to recruit all I could do was laugh l, couldn’t say no fast enough the biggest jokes in LE.

Defund the atf

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy this channel and the information it provides.

This guy was a 1st responder during 911, and then got lung cancer?? U should ask him WHY and HOW did he + thousands others got cancer!!! There were some i journalists who really cared did investigate it at the time.. But was stopped by the powers that be.. and just like he said ATF administrators told not to speak on Fast n Furious, the then mayor of NY city also was ordered to order al thel 1st responders never speak about anything they really encountered at the site on those days...

Excellent job on whats going on at the border

THIS CASE AND OTHERS LIKE IT MAKE ME think the US attorneys were/are on the payroll of the cartels just like biden's actions on the boarder

Bio: I was a government thug. Yeah, we get it.

Imagine willingly joining the ATF 😂

Sorry but this dude is hard to follow.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

That's just crazy no wonder why there's so much trouble

Isn't it ironic that these same guys sharing this info, don't consider 911 to be an inside job.

Someone starts following me we are going to end up deep in the woods with a 6 ft hole and me very pissed off.

As always, its not the guys on the ground actually doing the job, it's the select group of higher-ups making decisions that impact the entire country poorly.

23:00 minutes in and I stopped watching!!! SO WHO WAS RHE PROSECUTOR THAT LET THE GRENADE GUY GO?????

Its crazy to even think you would find a firearm after its been used. Why would they leave it next to the body

💰 talks!! 👨‍🌾

Thank heavens their opinions don’t represent the views of Homeland Security (A contradiction in terms). If you want lies, go to a government website or spokesperson.

Great epsiode. Pete is s solid dude.

This interview is incredibly there’s soo much that could get cut up into some RU-vid short videos especially the judge who just let the dude go WTF WHO APPOINTED THAT CORUPT DICKWAD Also I just got your book bro your a badass 👍🏼👍🏼

The citizens United States need to hold that US attorney accountable as y’all know the federal or state will never do it

Tabacco come on guy

He’s not kidding. Canadians can drink.

ATF= CARTELS #1 PLUG

What about ghost guns and untraced guns number is way wayy higher

Even asEnglish civvie heard about this operation was awful government work another interesting guest think get his book after urs obviously that’s on order 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Where's coco

"Its not that bad"

At least read this mans book....

the cia was also involved in the disappearance of the 43 mexican students.

Dude has a guilty conscience of what he's done, i respect his coming forward and writing the book, but what else does he know like those gun dealers lives are at risk because of snitching or working with ATF are they dead from Sinaloa cartel?

God damn couldn't get through this man praising himself 😂

Those who were up to their neck in the thick of it, know what dangers were there. They know exactly what its like to be in a room full of people who dont trust you. They know exactly what its like putting gps devices in wooden crates for 8 hours a day. They know what its like to grab a care package to make things work. Bribery, paying off people to get where you needed. small gold coins and us dollars. They know what its like to hide for days in someone's home and pay them for the hospitality. They know what its like to be threatened if seen again. They know what its like to be made and then have to escape an area. They know what its like to photograph people and places. They know what its like to pin coordinates to relay back to your contact. They know what its like to spread false information to start a gun battle between two groups to eliminate control of a certain area. They know what its like to play the game only to be forgotten like nothing ever happened. Many people have their stories and incidents as a result of this operation. But to those who got sucked into it for their skill. A beer raised for you.

Holy ads!!!!!

I heard they were secretly trying to arm the Sinaloa cartel to get rid of the los zetas which was a much more brutal cartel Sinalo it looked like the good guys compared to them, but they needed more arms and if that’s the case it actually worked because they did get rid of the Los zetas shortly after fast and furious. Also, if you’ll notice almost one of those guns went to Sinaloa cartel members.

This guy is an enemy.

Who brings guns north

There was straw in texas back then

Lucky #7!!!!

At minute marker 42:55, he stated I guess you can't please do that unless you're guilty of something. That has to be the most bulshit thing I've heard. Because we know law enforcement will still try to entrap an innocent person into saying something so that they can get a conviction so that they can get another check mark in their boxes. If that's the mentality that somebody has that used to work in law enforcement. We know that law enforcement still has that mentality. And that's dangerous

Yes The ATF was absolutely Complicit in The Death of That Poor Agent. Absolutely Obama

we benn saying this, the US goverment has its hands everywhere

Why can’t I subscribe to the channel????

At that time Los zetas were monsters and many of they were trained in America by sf. They were gafe members the gulf cartel hired to be there army. But they later broke off. They took down Mexican Blackhawks

Eric Holder......go figure.....Thanks Obama!!!

Mmmmh, boot leather for breakfast lunch and dinner. ❤

DC Cartel.

Seems like the straw purchasers would’ve been at fault bc they kno

Dis chit is almust belebable

So then that's what's actually taking place why everybody and their grandma and aunts uncles nieces nephews cousins in the kitchen sink is coming over from God knows where and no one is safe not the people coming and not the people trying to find out who the people are that are coming that's interesting, not

Realisticly , these high risk special opps should have priority ONE, BEING ON OUR SOIL IN OUR COUNTRY , where those involved have no regard for human lives , these troops need support going into them woods for take downs , if i could be envolved i would have a second group bring up the rear with at least an hour or so time frame behind the first group , go get them lizzards out of the woods ,and out of our country .

Got all the aspests the was the reason for 911

There are more than enough U.S. citizens straw-buying and smuggling guns south so easily, it would make the ATF blush if it didn’t sound like the plan all along…

When Biden became President he kept the same border controls in place as President Trump had, but we need a younger President, a moderate conservative who treats women with respect but is able to understand what’s happening everywhere in our country and everywhere in the world. I’m thinking about running simply because I love listening to everyone and helping good ideas come to fruition.

What I really 😊 Really like about what this great stand your ground leadership guy was when he said, he talked with the new guys coming onto Boarder patrol 😊 It must have been uplifting to a new Boarder guy, after going through the HR Bull crap of Harassment classes, to be one on one with a Law enforcement guy who has been there done that. Talking about Scum bags don't follow Harassment ( or should say how the criminals) use it to there advantages 😊 It makes the new BP officers feel like they have a REAL person on there side. I remember as just a field hand in city PW Being forced this sexual Harassment training by are PW Director. You basically can't hold doors ipen for the someone. Its sexist. And the big blow hard female HR person talking about her Records of destroying people jobs, just because a female crys at being given a job task This same PW Director having sex affairs with weak administration assistant. FIRING the other assistant who exposed this sex affair, both partys were married Anyway this big EGO tripped Director NEVER ever went to any of the meger Field hands training. Finally a Mayor who had a bigger EGO than the Director, forced him out, sadly he went on and polluted another county on other side of are state. They all just play music chairs.

Pleading the 5th amendment matters more if youre innocent.

Mexico sueing Americans for a Mexican problem lmao ok. I understand we use the world's drug supply, but at some point you need to clean up your own house.

The absolute obsession of gun owners to willingly lump themselves in with the violent criminals that the ATF goes after has always been wild to me.

Dude the adds... Unwatchable

im sure im mexico when they want someone prosecuted they probably call the narcos and tell them to deliver someone to be arrested for whatever case

"a hero only dies the last time his name is mentioned" Ooof. Think I'll be using that in future 🫡
