Andy stumpf is really crushing it with the guests!!

I love you guys. From, Texas. I’m a 7-8th generation Texan. (We lost count) Where I grew up used to be a pretty rural area outside of the Austin suburbs. It was mostly cattle ranches, with only a few county roads. Now, it is a super-suburb. I can barely recognize the place. I’m only 26. Almost every creek with fish, crawfish, & little shrimpy things that I played & explored in when I was a kid is long gone. Dried up, filled in, & turned into drainage runoff areas. Every single wooded trail that I scruffled around growing up is now dug up, & replaced with large bodies of either concrete, or asphalt. 95% + or our wildlife, which used to be so abundant that it was actually a bit of a problem, is now long dead & gone. They cut down almost all of the trees… Don’t let any of that happen to Montana.

Nic is doing great things. When I was a LEO, we had just implemented Human Trafficking training. The impact of what trafficking does to young people is disturbing. I had a Call For Service at a safe house for trafficked children. When I spoke to the person running the place a female victim came to the door to see what was happening. She saw my uniform and practically shrank away: Someone had conditioned her to fear law enforcement.

Awesome cast, Andy. If possible, Pat McNamara would be a fantastic guest. Would love to hear you too hit it off.

Unbelievable podcast. So hard to listen to things like this but so thankful for guys like Nic and others that are actively combating against this horrendous community of evil. Thank you Andy for having such incredible guests each week and allowing these great men and women to share their efforts and hopefully get even more support.

I can’t imagine him not helping and making connections or financially contribute as needed. Andy’s reach has been fantastic also. He knows so many different people who know different people, who know different people. I pray that this episode reaches as many people as humanly possible.

Stellar episode. Thank you both for coming together and putting this episode out there. Child trafficking is a big part of my heart's biggest fight in this world. So grateful for people like this stepping up to pick up the slack. (I'd love to see Tim Ballard, of O.U.R. on here at some point- it'd be a nice way to cover the out of country part of this fight as well.)

Better and better Andy! Thanks for putting in the time brother!👊🏼

"BUZZKILL" is the most important/impactful guest so far. His kindness represents how we feel about the topic yet has the beautiful combo of brilliant and badass that can actually make a differenceThank you for continually interviewing people who are cut from the same cloth as you, keep it up Andy.

Amazing podcast. Thanks for facilitating this Andy and bringing Nic in. Makes my heart happy to hear the work he is doing

Andy call Joe we need to get this out to a few more million. I know I'm doing nothing in it so the word we is completely irrelevant. but I feel like Joe and have a great time picking this guy's brain excellent podcast in general yeah I'm going to donate a bit.

Once again excellent podcast and a real eye opener. I will be sharing urging people to watch the whole thing and will be having a conversation with my kids so they know how to protect themselves by being aware. Thank you Nic McKinley for all that you are doing, you are a true hero and thank you Andy for providing a forum for this information to be heard.

This dude makes a huge point. All these missing kids from various ages but no new coverage of them.

Nic and his colleges are pure heroes! Great podcast, good work Andy!

God bless Nic. Dude is a true hero! Great podcast as always Andy👍🏻

Hey man this was very hard hitting and just the motivation me and I'm sure a tonne more people needed to fight the good fight, thanks Andy.

Great!! Important topic and podcast. More like this Andy. Thank you!!

One of your best interviews to date! Wish you would put your guest social media and/or their companies sites in the description. Nic is a great dude! Ok ok Andy is ok also! Haha, love your stuff!

Pat Mac and Andy are my two favorite Spec Ops dudes. Think those two along with Mike Glover are on my A Team. Such humble yet serious badasses who have kicked major ass for America. Much respect for their heroism and humbleness.

I knew of this being an issue in less developed countries but it is mindblowing. This model needs to be taught and replicated in other countries too.

When I did AF basic in late 1988 PJ was offered to everyone who wanted to volunteer for it within the first week of basic.

Man that crushing evil shirt looked overzealous and a little douchey at first, totally at odds with Nic's personality; then I heard about his day job and everything makes sense again. Truly fitting tag-line!

Wild podcast. This dude opened my eyes to all kinds of craziness.

Thank you Andy for giving this guy a platform. He needs all the platforms! I hope you hooked him up with Joe and Jocko.

Such a great podcast! Nic your amazing! Thank you for what you are doing!!!

Was listening to Mike Drop’s episode with Jeremy Maghugh just a few days ago and thought to myself this could be a cool guest for cleared hot. Lo and behold a few days later the other founder is on cleared hot!

Andy, Tim Ballard would be another great guest to continue this conversation and spread awareness of human trafficking. He's a former Special Agent at DHS and is the founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad.

Holy shit balls.... this was an incredible episode!

Great Podcast!

Nic should run DHS Dept. in our country

Great Episode!

Sounds like, based on some of his comments, he just might be a Christian as well. ;-)

Its awesome how many of our former élite Operators are choosing to get into the fight against human sex trafficking of kids. I just heard another ex CIA Ground Branch guy on a podcast Bazzel "Baz" talk about his private Operation in rescuing kids. Delta Force member " Geo Hand" is another one putting his skills and experience into the fight. I cant believe we dont have more Task Forces focused on this problem/mission specifically.

Andy, been listening to your podcast for a while and love it! But this question has been eating at me and I can't find the answer: is there a story behind the "cleared hot" CAS call intro?

I grew up in a hospital so I was deathly afraid of hospitals and needles. I cannot imagine trying to be a PJ or even being a live dummy for their training. Much Respect!

How do you grow up in a hospital. Just asking

This is epic. The real lightning strikes at 1:09:00 explaining what's really going on with sex trafficking, and it is sickening. I have played this for my whole family and shared with friends. God bless Nic and team -- shooters with computers!

Great Falls is better than Billings. I was raised in Montana and it was crazy how many people hate change in general including more people. I love sharing the beauty of Montana with my friends, enticing them to move here. I returned after I retired from the Army. ❤️ 🏔

Love the pretention free format and the facial expression when you talk about what you'd like to see happen to human traffickers!

Really good chemistry between andy and nic, they would make a good duo for a buddy cop movie lol.

Great show

Extraordinary guy. Extraordinary cause. I’d love to join in that fight with a kinetic role.

great podcast.

It absolutely curdled my blood when hearing about the trafficker truck driver. I'm a truck driver, but I'm 100% not ok with all these scumbags in trucking. They're disgusting! If I didn't have wanderlust, and earn six figures from trucking I'd get out. But it is fun to smoke check these tards once in a while. It's on them. They always start it. Great show Andy!

No offense to anyone who lives there but Billings Montana is one of the biggest shit holes I’ve ever been to. I swear everyone was on meth. It was just a very bizarre atmosphere. Was gonna stay the night but had a feeling my car would be on cinderblocks when I woke up in the morning.

There’s tone of law enforcement resources...for years...regarding HT. Not sure what this guy is talking about. International and national symposiums and conferences going back a long time. Seems like an excellent human being, and he’s no doubt doing awesome work. But he’s very cavalier in “no one is investigating HT, there are no resources”

Wow man heavy episode. Fuck I wish I could do something about this problem too. But where should I begin ?

I’m surprised about the lack of resources. The UN has several programs on human trafficking (UNICEF and UN WOMEN come to mind, the World Migration Organization) and Europol has an entire division, I’d be surprised if Interpol didn’t.

Even considering a good snow year, MT doesn’t have enough water to keep up with the growth. P
