024 Lara Logan

To say this episode was humbling is a gross understatement. 6 years ago, Lara Logan interviewed me in my living room for a 60 minutes piece. In a twist of amazing fate and almost 6 years to the day, I had the incredible opportunity to interview her in her living room in similar fashion. Like you’ve never heard or seen her before, she shares her amazing journey and career as a world renowned journalist for some of the biggest news agencies in the world, in some of the most dangerous places on earth. The bravery and courage she shows in this interview sharing details of being in war zones as well as being sexually assaulted in Egypt is impossible to overstate. Sit back and enter the world of one of the most badass women to ever grace the news world for an amazing compilation of stories.

I think every person should listen to her describe freedom, I am an American and I love freedom as much as she does as a South African. I Thank her so much for her love for this country. I laughed hearing the tacos and blue jeans & Johnny Cash wrapped up in there, because that is America, and we are so lucky to live here. I admit this was the first time I have listened to your podcast, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. the time went so fast. You have a new fan. Thank you for your service! I am from a military family, and volunteer with disabled vets, happy to have found your show! Thank you Ms. Logan for your wonderful work, and for such honesty, you passion for truth and your love for not only America but for this world as well. Thank you Mr. Ritland, its your voice our world needs more of.

    >> I NEVER listen to interviews that are 3hrs 39min long, YET I couldn't put this one down!!! Earlier in the video Lara kept me captivated with all of her stories & the fact that she kept sharing insights about what was happening in those situations that we never hear in the news. Once she set her mind to doing something she never let details get in the way. I also realized that only someone like Mike with his Navy Seal experience would be able to really understand & allow Lara to share so much. Although her experience in Egypt was hard to share, I applaud her for being willing to express what happened and how she has dealt with it, including how it has affected her husband. There were many times during that discussion that tears were rolling down my face with great emotions. There are many reasons that Lara was allowed to survive and I don't think any of us can fully appreciate the scope yet. I'm glad that she has not turned angry & bitter & revengeful for the rest of her life. I certainly would like to see her publish books about various experiences she has had. What would be most meaningful for me would be for her to share in shorter books devoted to a narrow topic and what she learned that could be of value to others. For example, she mentioned several times about how our country has often been a "friend" of others for awhile & then abandoned them, so others are often distrustful. Can Lara share examples at a personal level of working with others that would help us understand the implications as well as possible solutions going forward? This is the most educational 3+ hr video I've ever listed to in my life and I sincerely thank both Lara & Mike for sharing!!! All the best in both of your lives going forward!!!

    I am a native Texan who still lives in the state. I listened to the podcast yesterday, and will listen again. It was so damn refreshing to hear her say what many people have been saying for a very long time. I am thankful there IS social media, so people can do their own research instead of taking what the MSM says is gospel. That is what I want people to do-don't take what the MSM, celebrities, or anyone else as the absolute truth. Investigate things for yourself. I HATE the fact that social media like google, youtube, instagram and twitter are CENSORING those they disagree with. That bites. IF celebrities come out, and attack the President, and those who might support him, or his ideas, I stop supporting them by not going to movies, watching their tv shows, buying their music, or stop following them on social media platforms. Some don't give a shit about those who put them in the position they are in (fans), which is fine, but don't be shocked and awed when their support dries up. Thank you for this podcast, and thank her for doing it.

    WTF. I've never seen anything like this. If all the journalists in America were like this our country would a different (better) place. Honesty, vulnerability, truth... two people with an evident drive for what is real. "The truth will set you free"... FYI, that's from what used to be a really popular book. Wisdom from fifty thousand years of human experience, kicked to the curb by today's no-it-all morons. Here are a couple honest people who are the manifestation of the power and reality of that statement. I compare this to the jokers that populate American media today and its embarrassing. If I were a journalist working in mainstream media today and saw this, I would be ashamed. I expect every hack POC media personality to attack the shit out of both Lara and Mike for this - because this is probably the most powerful, honest piece of video journalism I've ever seen. Mike, you got some balls bro. You asked real questions with total honesty, humility and fearlessness - how do ask this gorgeous women to tell you about being raped? Fuck bro - I cried thru that whole thing. And Lara... I literally don't have words. In a world that is descending into a 24/7 cycle of total bullshit, here is the counter point. Simple, raw honesty. A life spent diving into the craziest places in the world. I cannot express the respect I have for you. A journalist who tells the truth as she sees it and a women who is willing to share something impossibly painful and vulnerable. Thank you. I would never want my daughter to go through what you have experienced, but I can't imagine a better role model. All the best for you and your family.

Her honesty was so very refreshing. Lara's sense of loyalty to those who've helped her amazed me, willing to risk her life for them when everyone else was turning tail and leaving, that is a true and faithful friend (same goes for her friend who came to America to be by her side following her attack in Egypt). She most certainly has been targeted by the Left and will most likely be blacklisted by them for the rest of her career.

    Wow. Lara is an amazing human being. Love her outlook on life and her honesty! Her ability to remember all of the minute details of her life experiences, her intelligence and ability to think quickly on her feet in a variety of circumstances, and to be able to relate and show respect for others is in short supply and commendable. I’ve never known anything about her before this interview. Thank you Mike for introducing this amazing woman to into my part of the world. It gives me a glimmer of hope that there are some good people in the press that still want to do the right thing and keep themselves truly accountable to themselves and work by ethical standards to really present the facts. It’s getting harder to find what the truth really is by every passing day.

    What's so messed up is lefties always say people like me don't like strong women and that I'm sexist/mysoginist for not liking and disagreeing with feminists and Hillary Clinton, Cortez etc. But the women they prop ups as strong are usually always man hating, feminist, America hating, smug, preaching intersectional non sense and labeling all straight white men as evil. They also prop up people based on supposed victim status for being made fun of for being shit. They never promote people like Lara, Dana loesch or women soldiers, teachers, emts, doctors, etc who show by doing, being brave and don't shove their gender or sexuality down our throats. These women like Logan protrude beauty, brains, real courage and determination. Not grievance mongering, division, hate on white straight men, and dependance like far lefties seem to admire.

Ever since I look forward to seeing her but lately I have not been able to catch her. THANKS to Mike & podcast crew for what I will call the BEST interview I have ever, ever, ever, heard. EXCELLENT JOB! I admire her thoughts, ideas, opinions & her in depth experiences. Her remarkable life experiences & ability to talk about them is appreciated & refreshing. Mikes questions were undeniably well thought out & he asked questions in detail & tough ones w/ sensitivity. I admire her bravery & thank her for sharing her experiences and Mike for his bravery & service to our Country. Together both have restored my faith in honest journalism. From the candidate F bomb & real life interruptions to the jab on Mike's ability to pick ugly flowers. Phenomenal Job all around & look forward to the TV series! 😉 ♡ GOD BLESS ♡ THANK YOU ♡ GREAT JOB ♡

    Well, I listened to the interview from start to finish. This woman has lived the experiences of 100 life times. Incredible story. This was easily one of the most powerful interviews that I have to which I have ever listened. She radiates a bravery only seen in the likes of elite soldiers and leaders. The story of her bravery is remarkable, but in this world it is almost equally remarkable that, she is actually a real journalist is meant to be. She observes and reports facts. So many of those on television, cable, online, etc.who claim to be journalist could learn a lot from her. Listening to her only reinforces that sad fact that most modern day news outlets are devoid of real journalists. Kudos Mike! Incredible interview. This is your Mona Lisa.

    Wow Mike! Just .....wow. The last time I felt so many different emotions in one interview was when TNQ had Tim Ballard on. Coincidentally that was the last time I commented (to any serious degree) on a guest. What an incredible human being., the depth of character, and real strength of this woman is something truly rare, I doubt most will even grasp how truly impressive she is. I gave up on mainstream media long ago.....decades ago. So before that horrible attack on Lara in Egypt, honestly I had never heard of her. And the reporting of the attack was an injustice in and of itself. As i recall it the networks ....none of them would even use the word rape. They said she was attacked and beaten, as if it were just another case western reporters being roughed up by rowdy protesters. After all the whole Arab Spring narrative couldn't be sullied. Lara's composure and resolute strength, her attitude, her recovery are simply amazing. When she described letting go of the dignity and focusing all of energy on surviving to the next moment it reminded me a lot of reading Marcus Luttrel's account of trying to crawl to the next rock or tree before resting. Listening to Lara tell her story....with utter composure was like being dragged through a host of visceral emotions. I've never seen anyone who has been more victimized that was less a victim than this woman. If the world had more people like this it'd be a much better place.

    WOW, so refreshing to listen to a real true and honest journalist. I've not really paid attention to her over the years. Was watching some Q stuff, caught that quick part, decided to look her up, which brought me to this interview. I'm very impressed with this awesome lady. I've not listened to a journalist in my lifetime this down to earth with so much common sense. She's beautiful inside and out. Love her stories, such a great story teller, had my attention the whole time as if I were right there beside her in all her travels, different countries, wars ect...So sorry she went through that awful attack, I pray she's able to overcome it as time goes by, I know it's been a while. Something like that certainly takes a while to feel even close to normal again. I can tell she's a very strong person and probably the rock of her family and friends. She definitely restores my faith in journalism. I had given up after listening to the ones in mainstream media last few years. Guess this interest me so much cause as a young girl I looked up to journalist, was a prestigious career. I wanted to be one or a writer. Always had a pen and paper handy and over the years I've written numerous short stories and songs, keeping them in composition notebooks filled away in my dresser. Five or 6 years ago I was doing research online and what I found about our government was shocking. The more I researched the worse it got. One day i realized i was fully awake and aware of the deep state, shadow government, mainstream media ect... It made me angry but mostly broke my heart for our great country and it's people. The journalist I had so much respect for I watched slowly become puppets and sounding board's for whoever paid the most and brainwashed the best. I've since spent my time REDPILLING as many that wish to listen. Lara Logan has boosted my confidence today and I needed that. This battle we fight for our country and each other takes a lot of time and energy if we are truly serious. Bless you lady, keep up the good fight, dont get discouraged, you know its mostly spiritual by now. Will keep following you and prayers for you and family.
