Another great one. It’s all ways the hunting accidents, love the after hrt work and stories
Listened to every word, even the potty ones. It was so good to hear what went on after 9/11, I wasn’t about to cut out. This interview has personal meaning for me and where I ended up, and whether or not to write about it. Please have Chris on again, and soon. He may think he’s a “moron” and much is ancient history, but there is a reason why his story still resonates.

I'm only three hours in, but man, what a brilliant session. Dude's sharp as a tack.
I hope you guys have more FBI HRT or FBI agents/people on the show in the future. HRT has always fascinated me.

Y? Because they kill innocent Americans?
Back in 1982, Chris Whitcomb was a damn loose cannon. It's nice to know he has settled down in his middle years.
Totally outstanding interview! Tell Whitcomb to stop apologizing for sharing his awesome life stories or going so long. Really look forward to watching part 2 as soon as possible and I hope part 2 goes just as long. Whitcomb is a fascinating truth teller and patriotic American and national treasure! That's why he got the tap on the shoulder. Uncle Sam wanted to shut him up!!!
Hi Chris, we met during the Waco civil trial detail in summer 2000 . Not sure if you remember, but the AUSA had a 14 year old niece who put on a concert for all the group one weekend at the hotel conference room, she was just starting out singing and her name was Miranda Lambert! We didn’t realize at the time that she would go on to be famous. At the time she was just a church sings type singer. I just finally retired a year ago.

I am surprised he receives praise. I don't believe him that he saw a 50-caliber barrel sticking out a window or that he saw David Koresh. I see a cowboy with a huge and fragile ego. The photo he had someone take of him after the place was burned down is disgusting and should NEVER be done. Look at ME, me, me.... It's all about Chris if you ask Chris.

FBI Sniper vs unarmed woman with an infant in her arms
Never knew Johnny Knoxsville was such a badass
HRT guys are basically required to hv Devgru/ CAG level precision in executing ops, plus they hv legal liabilities when kill/ harm the wrong people despite of the circumstances whereas the military considers such occurences as collateral
Oh my gosh!!! Was so excited to see that you have Christopher Whitcomb on your show! I read “Cold Zero” years ago, guessing in the early 2000’s, and have never forgotten it. I have always wanted to tell Mr. Whitcomb that his book saved me when I took my CCDW test. Written test, no problem, but I had never owned or shot a gun in my life, and scared to death. As each student took their shooting test and it came closer to my time, the more I shook. It didn’t help that I was using a .357 Ruger revolver, a cannon in my small hands. When it came time for me, I loaded and aimed. 💥BOOM💥 I shrieked and almost threw the gun in the air. This old doctor, son of an FBI agent who had been given CCDW tests for decades, was not amused, and growled, “Do not do that again.” I was going to blow this test and my $80 for the class, and my training buddies at Ft. Knox we’re going to laugh me off base. Yes, I trained troops, but had never shot a real gun before. (Long story) Panicked, shaking, and heart thumping out of my chest, 3:26 3:26 I remembered Mr. Whitcomb’s book explaining how to slow down your heart rate. I dropped my arms to my side, closed my eyes, inhaled a deep breath, and slowly exhaled through my mouth, concentrating on SLOWING down my pounding heart. Slowly, I did this five times, opened my eyes, raised my arms, sited the target, and the rest of the shots were center mass. As I stopped to reload, I glanced at the instructor. Ol’ Doc Kincaid was slack-jawed, and said, “Nice shootin’ Tex, where’d you learn to do that?” I told him I read a sniper book. After about 24 shots, 23 center mass, I passed the test. The first shot was almost off the paper, so the breathing technique worked! I gave a copy of “Cold Zero” to my martial arts instructor, a homicide detective who trained me how to train troops. Great book! I’ve often wondered what happened to the author, so now I’m going to listen to the rest of this show to find out!

Very cool

3:10:24 Does anyone have any more information on this part of the interview regarding FEMA, Continuity of Government, and why we suddenly don't worry about Nuclear Powers? He mentioned that he unpacked the issue publicly once and faced consequences. Does anyone know when this was and if it is still available? Reading between the lines in this entire section lines up with theories I have heard regarding Deep Underground Military Bases and Breakaway Civilizations. The feeling I get from what he says is that a group of read-in individuals could already know of an unavoidable catastrophic event and are already operating the "Continued Government" in these secret hollowed out mountains while the current "visible" Government just plays out the show for a doomed populous that they have no intention of saving. I'd love to hear other interpretations of what he is stepping around here.

With the current state of the internet being what it is It's harder to trudge up information on this. Back in the day, the old school more rational Alex Jones had a bunch of stuff on this topic. Detailed with foia'd documents and everything. Most of it was piecemeal and the narrative was drawn from speculation on the totality of information. You could start by looking at REX-84, national security and homeland security presidential directive 51, presidential decision directive 67 and Eisenhowers COG plan. Each administration over the last 60 years has slowly established the infrastructure to run government without our current democratic process.
Please have the follow-up interview soon.
1:42:12 I know that nobody can know everything about every subject, but I was nevertheless shocked that the interviewer did not already know about what happened to John Patrick O’Neill (1952-2001). I know that some important members of the Northern Alliance had known him personally for some time and were devastated when they heard he had been killed. They spoke of him very respectfully as "Yaḥyā Ror," which means "Brother John" in Pashto. It might seem strange, but in fact, that is not an unusual name, for after all, the Qur’an extensively mentions Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyā (John the Baptist) as a Prophet of God.
If only these guys invested a little in sound quality. I'd be able to make it through
Good stuff as always guys!
Should be in prison.
Chris is so humble its nuts. I cant wait to hear him again. He has the most insane stories post 9/11. I wish we could hear on other HRT stuff he may have done besides Waco and Ruby Ridge or the selection process. Well his book described a lot of it but any more tidbits would be cool to hear.
Great episode

I don't believe he can. IMHO, his stock answer to any question regarding Waco or Ruby Ridge is to praise all first responders in general and current F.B.I. HRT members in particular. Even after proudly declaring how his childhood town was C.I.A. controlled, the death of a whistleblower against the JFK conspiracy was just a "tragic hunting accident". I'm not saying he's being untruthful, just not, imho, candid.

Chris is great patriot, but he is oblivious to a few things. Just about all your guests have a messages and lessons which are backed up by stories. He's just detatched from the reality of the people he put in unnecessary danger because he thought it was cool, and likes to say he was nuts, in a adrenaline junkie way. Ask his former teammates, and they'll laugh and say, he sure likes to talk about himself. No one cares that he showed up to dinner with Madonna, or Brad Pitt. Great interview though.
