    It’s fascinating how Andrew comes across as so knowledgeable when he’s simply rationalizing out loud. Yet, it gives him the appearance of intelligence. I think that is what makes His CIA training so valuable. He literally told us in the beginning that he doesn’t have any deep knowledge or experience outside of the CIA training. How fascinating to watch him work.
  • I’ve listened to Andrew do several interviews. Your questions brought out new and interesting ideas from him. He’s a fascinating person who has done his homework and thinks critically about pretty much everything. The CIA doesn’t mess around with the education of their operatives.
  • @yelena3285
    Trying to catch every podcast with this guy, learning tons and tons of amazing things from him.
  • @Miss_Fancyness
    I’m a grandma at 58, please just keep being you and sharing what’s in your heart and in your mind. Guests are great depending on the discussion. Hugs to ya both!!❤
  • @denasewell
    I just found your channel and let me start by saying your decor is stunning..your decorator is brilliant!! The rich color palette ,drapperies and the oversized upholstered chairs have modern and fresh sort of Georgian/Victorian flair. This is the first episode I have watched and I look forward to more!

    Andrew Busatmante gets the most outrageous hair award if nothing else :)
  • @joanneblack7697
    When Andy said: "Anyone who's been married for more than 3 years knows marriage is a pain in the ass." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 No sugar coating that for Andy! 😊
  • @jonbecherer5103
    Bustamante really opened up on this one, nice work Robert.
  • @rebi863
    I like your non click bait thumnails and titles!
  • @spo0ny2k

  • @aechef4573
    Got to love breedlove..thankyou my bro for giving us coloured bro's an opportunity. God bless
  • @yiguanas812
    After Robert pushed back on ESG, Bustamante said: "Let the people decide." I laughed out loud. Yes, the people were all asked whether they wanted ESG, and Blackrock tyrant Larry Fink didn't say that it was about forcing behaviours.
  • @roace.bob.01
    Thank you for the 1950 music detail. I was a little skeptical when I first heard about that, I was like "come on man you're a smart guy,you can do better than that". I was curious. I listened to some and I really liked it. Thank you.
  • @pcg9829
    the war talk was really interesting
  • @adodgin4163
    That reminds me of a common saying in the military, if you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

    Love Andrew and I'm so psyched there is a new podcast wth him! I swear I've watched every one 5 times each. I'm learning SO much from him including I'm working on my dual citizenship to Italy (where my father is from) I'm also going to ecuador to look at buying down there. I looked at Venezuela but bc of so many things (inflation is at 400%+ right now) and I know none there... that's not a smart move for me. I was looking at Bulgaria, Greece, south America and Vietnam. I'm leaning into 🇪🇨 My passport is done and next is my visit!!
