What Does A CIA Spy Carry Everyday? 

him saying the CIA is about truth. had me rolling. but seriously wtf, I'm not taking Geopolitical takes from a gender confused spook.

Credit card

Gun VR baton😮

laced shoes

The cash on hand is most helpful. I’m interested in knowing more about the baton carry. I assume he’s referring to an ASP expandable. I carried one on duty for years, and still have two, but there are many, many stories from patrol cops who found batons ineffective against a variety of people. I would be interested in hearing the guest’s thoughts on this. Great show, as always!

😂😂

Glock 17 Gen 5 mother Fkers

Real life Juan wick...

And in the US it's always 10% for the "big guy".

Reminds me of carrying a pack or smokes or bubble gun

I have no doubt he can weaponize that headband!🇺🇸

Fake hair means you can hide a weapon OR change your identity

Mans hiding a poison spike, small blade, an international warranted ID and pack of chewing gum under that headband no doubt

Probably got a buttplug too

😂

‘Is that a baton you carry or you’re happy to see me?’ 😘😄

Don't forget the audio alarm. I never knew those existed.

No gun ?

@@user-kl8lo6rj5i There was a MLM company called Quorum International I was a part of for awhile that sold personal alarms in 1993. Great for kids and mothers and they were loud! About a 1/3 of the size of the average cell phone now with a battery and siren, pull the pin and it activates the circuit! Problem was, network marketing companies do best with products that you purchase on a monthly basis, so you had to keep selling and selling with no repeat business other than building a downline.

Baton’s may not be gun’s but they sure are fun!

maaay yahiiiiii, maaaay yahooooo, maaay yahaaa, maaaaay yahaaaha

@@florencetown4024 don't worry it is still miles better than US in so many ways, you should visit sometimes.

😂me too. Maybe 2nd world....

You can eat healthy just about anywhere compared to the US.

Rel. Poland agrees ;)

​@@MisfitInfantry or sub 10 minute miles.

running five miles is not underrated it's just that people are not getting in shape anymore.

True, but you need multiple skills/tools. Otherwise, you just die tired.

Exactly!

I have a 11:30 two mile time, what are my chances of making it through SFAS?

Surely you’re not that simple minded…

Yeah. He just outed every spy on earth. Shoes and some cash.

There's a reason the basics are important. And he outlines the reasons people don't carry James Bond or spy movie tech. Wannabes always think they need to be carrying lockpicks or 'hidden' handcuff keys or exotic weaponry or tech. Shoes and $100 will get you to 98% of the places you need to go.

Second rule. Come up with an obvious fake name. Make it racially ambiguous

😂

Larp, having a whole 100$ is dumb. Like this dude said break it down that's what litterally 99.999% of people do when they carry money like that for bribes.

@@myyoutubename1756 wasnt for bribes, it was for emergencies

@@myyoutubename1756 subjective little bubba

I know where that comes from. Great information to pass along.

from my experience trying to use 100 dollar bills I would recommend carrying 5 20's instead because 100 bills are often not accepted or if they are they still cant be used because the business doesnt have enough change.

😂😂😂

Zing

That hair? That's mane and tail sponsorship, for sure.

What are you talking about? he doesn't even have... owww

Lolllllmmmffffaaooo

Or just get a roll of packing tape and tape the front and back of the paper, then cut the excess off the edges with scissors. Works very well. I carry a laminated password key card in my wallet that has held up fine for several months of daily use.

Not a SS card, that makes it invalid.

One does not simply openly talk about the cia, both “good” and “bad”, without repercussion. Not even Kennedy was allowed to badmouth the three letter agencies.

The CIA is like the Mafia you'll never be a civilian again. Take everything you hear from a fed (relating to domestic/foreign DC policies) with a grain of salt. Just because Shawn charmed you into subscribing to his channel does not mean he's an exception.

once a company guy, always a company guy.

The Cia was like keep your hair long and wear hippie bracelets. Let the viewers think being a Fed isn't what it used to be. 🤣

@@recmod148 your scared. and you are soft. F**K THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

@Well, if you wear heavy boots, dark tshirt and long pants in, lets say, Italy in the summer (45Celsius is not unusual) you are not blending in... you are a curiosity that is about to get heat stroke...

So Greyman, it sticks out. I feel like Taticool daddies / contractors etc stick out easily to someone that knows the kit / look. IDK just my 2 cents.

@@panciopinczera7488of course spies wont tell you everything 😂. This is why you made this comment. Part of blending in too to make people confused haha

Short pants? You mean shorts ? Lol

You're a dope. Anyone that believes this "CIA" guy's bullshit is also a dope.

"90% of trade craft is getting another person to trust you." consider this when you take his advice. he is without a doubt still part of their system

Good advice Irishlincoln

Spy Game

I don't understand all of the skepticism about this. Why is it so hard to believe that some of them genuinely prefer sig products?

To be fair, the P365 is legitimately an amazing carry piece.

Kyle Morgan carries 43x

I no I prefer a sig over a hideous looking glock any day of the week

@Buddy Sumner this is true, I much rather carry me a Spectre Comp with some gold instead of a shitty looking Glock 😂

Initially I thought so too, but he does actually glance at the bottom of the handgrip. What he does not seem to do is to check inside the chamber. The only type of firearm I am very familiar with is the shotgun however, so I may have missed something here. The first thing you do on picking up/receiving ANY firearm is to check that it is not loaded.

😂

Same with Ryan Montgomery right after he was telling him he has ‘muscle’ to help him in his work and he was fine being the nerd haha

It's called product placement.

@@MrHobj34 Just what I was wondering.

he almost seemed uncomfortable handling it as well

Dude did that palms up to god thing before handling, so he's covered.

😭😂🤣

Bad hombre 🤣😂😅

Bustamante has no prints.

@@rahelkamber4839 I don't know exactly if it was asking for a blessing or a prayer, but it was noticeable.

True,….BUTT If a navy seal tell me its unloaded and im a cia spy, IDGAF😅

@@alexem5030 Butt my ass... Doesn't matter. First thing you do is check it. ALWAYS. Then you know either way.

@@alexem5030Then you’re crap at your job. Besides, once you get trained to check is there’s a bullet in, that habit stays with you.

@@claudiamanta1943 facts BUTTT if im in a podcast its not my job tho

@@alexem5030 Old habits (become reflexes) die hard (or never), irrespective of the situation you’re in.

With a ‘I’m a spy’ sticker on it and the password of his job email (just in case he forgets it). Having said that… sometimes hiding in plain sight works.

3 custom butter knives

I’d carry Ed.

Doesnt EDC stand for E.D. Calderon

@@austinohlrich9370 Yes. That's where the acronym came from

Psssh Ed Calderon is the David Blaine of EDC BS

i got both my daughters pull style alarms with LED flashing lights, yup. We are both on the right track fellow father

You guys are weird

That's the first thing I noticed. He didn't check the chamber.

Zero chance anyone with even cursory training would not clear the gun and keep the muzzle under control. If I was in that room I’d be very angry. It’s disrespectful. And dangerous.

His self defense edc is pretty bewildering.

He acted like he didn't know what the hell he was doing!! Seems to damn strange for a CIA op, doesn't it??

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on this guy. He's said so many things that just don't make sense on his podcast.

The whole thing is out on Shawn’s main channel

@@micahpediford I'm referring to the second part that's coming a week, but thank you!

I think it’s safe to say he’s not taking about chain businesses or companies. He’s talking about Mom & Pop shops, street vendors, guys on the corner type stuff.

I don't think the $100 is to get a cheese burger!! 😂😂😂😂

@@calebluke1101 Yeah they are going to kick you out if you are an american trying to pay with the dollar.

totally agree with u. Dollar will get you nothing, it is less worth than euro AND you have to exchange it, which will also cost you. So no, you need euro. Especially a criminal wouldn´t like to go to a bank to exchange the dollar

@@calebluke1101no one in Europe will let you pay with dollar. You get laughed at every single time.

yes he's a God fearing man

He’s CIA, you don’t know what he really is 😂

You have literally no clue what CIA is. He's a trained liar, don't believe anything he says.

You're mentally challenged, it's so cute

Humble is one way of putting it.

part of his cover lol

And then his odd spiel about why he likes Sig 😂

I am pretty sure there is a large percentage of operatives who do not carry guns. There is a good chance he wasn't one of those rated to carry. Don't, pay attention to the TV / Hollywood versions of CIA; 99% aren't Jason Bourne types. And that 1% that does have the authority (nonofficial or official) to use a weapon tends to be within a tier 1 type unit, which is a DoD affiliate. it doesn't surprise me that he didn't handle the gun like an assassin because he probably wasn't an assassin.

I couldn't agree with you more. I actually ran it back and he looks like my brother in law who hates guns handling a gun. Also, how does someone who's supposed to be familiar and current with firearms not know about the 365, and lastly, he kept calling it a "piece". That's like mafia movie slang🙄

@@Johnthedagger think about this lol the (former) CIA spy is holding a gun like someone without training, appears to be unfamiliar with a firearm and uses improper terminology. Don’t fall for the trap 😂 that’s a whole front

Hahahaha! SHOTS SHOTS, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVVVEERRYYBODDDAAYYY

that was funny

,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It took me 32 seconds but I get it Ahhhhh hahahahahaha

I am laughing so hard at this right now

Another good idea is to memorize your credit card numbers

@@surfingtothestars ok ill memorize yours.... thanks lmfao

Before cell phones we knew a bunch of phone numbers by heart.

I know my parents numbers but simply because we have had them for over 20 years now, but I dont know my wife's number lol.

I don't even remember my own fucking phone number lol

Certainly reminds me of "Desh Bouksani" in real life. (google him).

Dude I’m sorry your life has been so disappointing. Smh

yes he is very chilled and charismatic !

Sucker! hahaha

can't stand the tictok spy

​@George Armstrong what, a phone number? What bad person is going to be reading a laminated piece of paper with names and phone numbers?

​@@Gr13fM4ch1n3 if those numbers/people are really that important to you those numbers should be burned into your brain. Not on a waterproof piece of paper anyone can take and use against you.

He's also great at bullshit. "When I'm in the US I don't carry a weapon, I carry a baton and audio alarm"... that advice will get you killed. Batons are completely fucking useless.

No Tatt's is a obvious tell.

@@here_for_the Well, not by itself, only one of many variables.

“You racist”

I thought he had a tweaker sheen to his face...lol. Not clearing the chamber...especially on the internet...have not seen that before.

I carry a blank (well it was ha) business card with important phone numbers on it

I keep all my emergency numbers in my head tucked way no paper or pencil needed!! I didn't even have to attend CIA for that!!!😊

I learned that from Malibu's most wanted

​@@mikedag1176 if your knocked out or incompaciated those numbers don't do anybody any good

@@jonnsmith556 John, you lost me there? Sorry.. I'm on multiple threads.. What numbers ?

Hmm that's interesting. Maybe you're confusing MI6 or a European agency for CIA? I can't imagine rich Americans would want to run around in 3rd world countries for little pay (unless there's a corruption element that makes it worth it?) Seems like in America, the corporations and politicians are the ones who can get away with corruption, not CIA agents (unless they're like a station chief or something)? @@honestusguy123

He didn't check the chamber. Weird. I thought everyone did that. It's like firearm safety rule #1. Never trust the word of whoever hands you a firearm.

@@helives2630 Yeah but if you carry a loaded pistol regularly having a round in the chamber is expected, it becomes routine to carry a round in the chamber and to handle the gun as such.

His hand was even shaking, unless it was meant to throw us off.

April 3rd

Glad to hear you guys carry, unlike the CIA guy😁

@@flexinclouds when a CIA guy on station needs a weapon they just take one of the bad guys guns and shoot the other bad guys with it then throw it back on the floor. If they do carry a gun on station it’s more than likely going to be disgusted as something else everyday item like an ink pen or a camera.

Years ago my Easter decorations were stolen out of my yard. My first response was fing taser and rebar. Luckily a guy was going threw the police academy at the time, told me no. I used a dollar store audible device and it was a child less than ten that was raiding my yard. Caught them, spoke with parents and life has been good.

just arm your children

Bro let me tell u something. The shit he talks only sounds believable when you live in the united states. 100 usd gets you nothing in the most countrys. And even in countrys where this is a lot of money most of the people wouldnt take it.

And a cia agent who calls himself a spy?

@@tre641. Go check and see. $100 cash would get you help. Also depends what the ask is.

Agreed

Most likely not by accident.

Definitely seemed new to him. Just saying.

I'm like "he's going to make it safe...right?" I don't give a fuck who hands me a weapon and tells me it's not loaded, I am clearing that shit myself.

@@greatdane3343 right? Freaked me out he didn’t confirm the chamber was clear before he started pointing it all around.

Dude doesnt understand the concept of concealed carry and that your pistol isnt “2 feet away” wont “accidentally discharge” and cant be “picked up by a kid” if its physically on your body.

​@@greatdane3343 Right. If Jesus Christ himself handed me a weapon and told me it was unloaded I would still check.

How doea a corkscrew get you throught the airport. Or do you just mean you can take it carry on? If it's not offensive what do you use it for?

Yea and he doesn’t believe in CCW because”firearms can’t be reached quickly enough if stored properly”. This is who we got working or the CIA.

Very odd.

@@JH-wq1lg Hopefully it was cut away

Likely not. You could tell he was very uncomfortable/unfamiliar with guns while handling it. And literally said he's not comfortable having guns cause of his kids..and then Shawn hands him a gun😂

@@flexinclouds You show what guns can do in front of your kids and they will understand for the most part. When I was 5 my dad took me out in the backyard and shot a 30-06. He wanted to show me what a gun is and can do. To this dad I still remember that scene.

Yea, he didn’t clear it. He also doesn’t EDC a pistol. He’s not the type of guy I’d take advice from.

The majority of CIA operatives don’t carry. It does not mean they are not capable. This guy spent his career talking his way out or just giving people the slip.

@@j.s.7366 He's a data/surveillance specialist that doesn't deal with combat, how does that make you doubt his advice?

think about it... he is a spy its better he act that way... do not show your familiarity with a weapon

“Intelligence Agency”. Most of the job is collecting, processing, storing, analyzing data to include the dang IT systems and server rooms. Then they have to be super locked down, which means very few off the shelf software because the exploits are known. Imagine the most anal IT department. Then imagine that all the people “trustworthy” enough to pass background check to not leak info are all odd ducks - mega nerds, hippies, bureaucrats, fundamental Christians, especially Mormons (ultra secretive religion). The HR department must have a freaking ball. So then, the amount of people who do actual “spy work” as you would imagine in the movies is probably phenomenally small. It takes an army to support those folk. Then if you are clandestine overseas, why would you give the government you’re professionally screwing with the LAWFUL right to detain you for decades (even if they ignore your espionage) by carrying a firearm? You’d just hire security or more than likely cross your fingers and hide under your cover. Clearly this guy didn’t do anything spooky, because those people never unmask themselves. This isn’t anything unknown, when Bush and other presidents unmasked spies, the concerns were that “even if the US person is safe, foreign governments can go back to old pictures and data to find who the US person interacted with”. Yeah, this guy didn’t do anything crazy. He’s clearly in the large percentage of odd ducks, who also happens to be averse to guns. Gun enthusiasts would not carry a baton (you’ll just get shot or stabbed or it’ll get used against you!) or an alarm (that won’t stop a true psycho!). They would not rack the slide, they would not point it at their hand, they wouldn’t say how an unloaded handgun “has such great balance”. Dude is prolly anti-gun as you get for a federal employee. What’s amazing is that he probably has better physical fitness than the pro-gunners here. And probably better mental fitness, too, because somehow the many indications that “CIA employee =/= gun expert super spy Jason Bourne” has flown over all these people’s heads. FFS, the CIA probably has to hire thousands of Starbucks employees and HVAC technicians with super ultra secret clearances…. “I worked at the CIA”. “Why didn’t you check if the gun was loaded ??? Omg I’m so much smarter than super spy!!!1”. “I worked at cia making coffee for my whole career. Why did you hand me firearm? Irresponsible for you to hand someone a deadly device on camera without discussing”.

Yeah I can't believe everyone doesn't do this out of instinct or common sense. I always carry a folded Benjamin in my iPhone case, and 2 folded Benjamins in my wallet's secret pocket.

Why I carry $100 worth of crack everywhere I go, easy to sell.

Even when you think you don't have any items to sell, you have your anus

Had a cabbie in China hook me up with premier hotel accommodations at a great price for myself and some visitors I was picking up. Cabbies can be your best friends when away from home.

@@JCTEAM60 Every single hotel in China has cameras in the rooms watching foreigners, and they’re sometimes poorly rigged and can be spotted. Everyone in China who deals with foreigners on a regular basis is a part time spy.

I was taught to always check a firearm. Always. And he actually did not check it for safe. That would have required racking the slide. I was actually surprised he didn't rack the slide before handling. Just my two cents.

@@kevinrichards1539 I agree with you 100% The way he handles the firearm, and what he said I do not think he is much of a gun guy. Which is OK. He seems like a very smart and likable person. Someone giving me a gun, I would be like heck yes!

Many people mistake what a CIA case officer does in their line of work. None of the case officers are 007 and virtually none of them every carry a gun while on an assignment for the same reasons he stated in the video. They aren't trained in gunfighting so much so as using charisma, deception and evasion tactics. What they lack in firepower they make up for in survival and evasion tactics if needed. The papa-military operators and some of the multi disciplinary offices are their high speed SOF type guys.

@@hblegal8309 Spot on.

You're all experts

They're trained to be professional liars. All they really do is disinformation, 5th generation warfare, pedophile sexual blackmail operations, arms and drug smuggling and assassinatios. Oh I almost forgot overthrowing's of sovereign foreign governments. Nothing he says is honest. It's the CIA.

Bro literally went on a circus act for 15 minutes about how the most important carry item is laces and $100 usd. I especially liked the part where he put the red nose on that clown hair lol 😂

​@@MrVibeCheck41 😂😂😂 right on the money!

​@@MrVibeCheck41 you're embarrassing yourself

@@Gr13fM4ch1n3 probably a paid content booster.

Nice. I admit to not being everyday enough with my carry situation. I always like to carry a knife and money but sometimes it slips my mind.

Except the info about Europe doesn't work in Western Europe anymore. Most people would not accept and even be very suspicious if you offer them 200 dollar in cash.

He said it rings at 180dBSPL. You put that volume behind a kids head in close proximity (on the backpack) and they are deaf for life. He's full of shit. Jets taking off are like 140dB. A threshold shift ambient to 180 would be unthinkably traumatic and damaging to the child. I doubt there is an alarm that makes that level. His whole vibe was flaky to me...poor firearm safety, carrying loved ones contact details while covert, and the nonsense alarm. Weird af.
