And with a resumé ranging from surveillance to Shark Tank, safe to say Jason's got more than a few good stories worth sharing from the world of intelligence espionage.

    I'm a big fan of your show Mike! I urge you to have Massad Ayoob as a guest. His resume is about as long as a thesis. Almost everything I know about firearms is credited to him. I took his LFI-1 (now called MAG-40) course years ago to learn the legalities of self-defense shooting for which he's most known for. Please take inviting Massad Ayoob into consideration.

    This podcast autoplays after almost every gun video I watch. I do not like this KZread channel at all I find it pretty annoying in general because it's boring. The intro is super cringe and honestly I think the intro is just so cringy it makes it where I can't take anything else that's mentioned in the entire podcast seriously and I desperately wish for it to stop playing by itself. If the owner of this channel sees this message please block me
