Yes, the Media is all CIA and unfortunately #DIRTY and enemy of the people.
AUDE SAPERE sence when does Putin hate Christianity? Russia is a Christian Nation for Gods sakes!
Why did you have to lie about the green screen?
@@KyleInOklahoma She reminds me of my mother!! Exactly like my mom... so charming, so sweet, so well dressed. I think my mom has the same coat and necklace and yet she tried to kill three of her children through accidental fire, accidental drowning and accidental poisoning.. each time she was all dressed up for the news camera's that would come to tell the tragic story of the house on fire etc... scary these sweet CIA peeps

This lady is razor sharp on every level, probably ruthless too lol.
Right? There were some obvious lies, but they were only obvious in context, not because she gave anything away. Like "we never use sparrows," or "someone at the corporation always knows, and we return the money.." Riiiiiiiight... She was totally crossing her fingers. Or toes.
I'd work with her
She wouldn’t hesitate to make tough decisions 😊
Alyson Easton I would work with her too. 👌🏼
You know shit reminds me of the lady in that movie..,.... I forgot the name she had them doing things they ain't even know in other countries was a good movie too
I love Jonna Mendez. I could listen to her for hours on end. I enjoyed every minute of this interview.
i bet u couldnt if she targeted your family lol
I've just been following here different interviews after seeing the Wired interview. She's such an incredible and badass person.
me too! i couldnt leave the screen , had to watch till the end ! she is a badass !
Miss KrazyKat,
Took the words right from me. This is the second interview I’ve watched with her, loved both.
Me too.
I can't get enough of this lady. I've watched so many interviews she's done. Simply fascinating. What a badass.
Patrick is an absolutely brilliant interviewer. Total focus, interest and close questioning of his subject, whilst allowing the interviewee huge uninterrupted space to answer. It's a rare skill.
Yes!!!
My friend said he didn't trust his Alexa. I told him to stop being ridiculous. He laughed, I laughed, Alexa laughed
😂😂😂
Nice little story Dennis Mitchel!

It would have made this interview great, if at the end of the video, the lady would have pulled her mask off.
Sidney Outlaw ...she decided to leave it on ,so we don’t know her real identity 🤔
@@theliftexpert Thats why she shoulda worn two.
No way, they both pull their masks off and you realized that patrick was the woman and she was Patrick.
Hhaahaaaa
You guys are way fun! (except g quin)
She’s so cool. If she was my family member..I’d sit for a LIFETIME to listen to her stories!.... again fantastic valuetainment material
She is fascinating and this interviewer is outstanding.
You can tell how disciplined she still is in her CIA ways that while answering the questions she's taking notice of Patrick's notes 30:36 and so on...
Guillermo Caban oh yeah. You have to be extremely observant to catch it, because she makes it look like she’s deep I thought to the camera. Very observant to her angles and her eyes.
And she keeps on track with what's she's saying while she's reading. 👍
Only a agent would notice that.
How long have you been with the agency?
@@SirVeyXxX shhh... You'll blow my cover. 😏
Guillermo Caban That's so dumb. Lol
If all this is unclassified, imagine what they got now?
clones and chips in ur head
T G I was thinking that exact same thing, wondering if anyone else noticed how creepy that was. Damn.
Exactly! That’s why people need to stop freaking out about shit like they are with all the fake bs coming out of China. Just think we were all petrified of the USSR and it was almost all smoke screen that came out after they fell in the early 90s.
It's gotta be at least on par with Hollywood does. Look at shows like FaceOff (where they do monster fx makeup) for an example.
@g quin You've said this same comment on several replies.
I like how this woman actually talks about things. So many interviews with CIA agents are just a bunch of circular talk about absolutely nothing.
May be u are right but watch Andrew bustamante with lex fridman....that was good too...
Notice how she said "it's a sign of what's coming" as her past comment on Alexa...
Don't use Alexa! Do you know that those little, black cable boxes have audio and cameras inside?!!
Scary thought , AI
@@valeriehancotte-galan4790 yep they been watching us for years. so much for privacy if you want to have sex in your own home
@@valeriehancotte-galan4790 How do you know this? I have cable boxes. I thought I was safer than having the big screen TVs

@@horrorkitchen2119 there use to be a bunch of videos of people asking Alexa questions then when they would ask if Alexa is collecting any information for the government and the Alexa device would just turn off, every time.
This woman would've been a pain in the ass during hide and seek... Like you keep looking for her but turns out she was the teacher watching over everyone playing all the time.
ReznoV Vazileski Feel and for his classmates
Or she was the manhole cover or something lol or turned into the squirrel in the tree
@@FrozenMermaid666 Funny you'd have impostor in your name there cus I'd be voting you out in a second after that bs story :')
@@FrozenMermaid666 I think your bot is glitched mate turn it off before it starts taking hostages :')
Classic how shes keeping an eye on everything Patrick writes.. always observant!!
was curious to how many others noticed that. :)
yeah lol
They want to know if you were ever been arrested for drugs when recruiting, yet at the same time they’re responsible to bring most of the drugs to our country 🤦♂️
That’s more like it, I’m not going to worship these people in the CIA, we do need spies though, we cannot survive without them.
This is the branch of government that destroyed the country. She may be all right but the monsters that lurk beneath are unfathomable
@@clarezajac3276 You said it. I got inducted into a police operation (Sting) against corruption, right here in the Houston Metroplex/smaller Cities/Counties. They've done some pretty heinous things to me. They've destroyed my life. Made me homeless and destitute, and even stolen my truck and life. F👿cking monsters. Lisa Rae Rousseau
Maybe they check to see if you were the user or the supplier 🤷🏾♀️
@@lisasmith516 I don't know why I'm just now seeing this reply, Pinellas County did the same thing to my dad completely destroyed his life before taking it. So evil! I hope you're safe and away from it all now
A statement like “We weren’t relying on the media like we are now” says so much about where we are today in 🇺🇸 & how we arrived here , especially when spoken by a former CIA branch manager/Director
She is absolutely fascinating. I just stumbled upon this but I can’t stop watching. All I can think about is Burn Notice though haha.
And I might add that this guy is one hell of an interviewer. He’s asking questions to her I didn’t even know I wanted answered until he asked.
lolol
She is truly a class act. Great interview!
Jonna is truly an amazing woman! Her life stories that she can tell are truly awesome! But just imagine the things she can never tell anyone 😱 She’s probably the most courageous woman I know of, and I know for sure that I’d never have been able to do the kind of job she did, especially not during those times. She’s truly a real life Wonder Woman. It’s humbling listening to her when you just live a quiet life as an average world citizen and your only experiences with “her world” is from watching James Bond movies. With this I want to thank Jonna and her colleagues, and current agents for all the hard work they’ve put in and still put in, to make the world a safer place for us all! All the intel, actions and counter actions have likely prevented many full blown wars from taking place, and for that I am forever very grateful!
Jonna, thank you for sharing these stories! I could listen all day.
Jonna Mendez is amazing. What a life she has had! I would love to meet her. Thanks for your service, ma'am.
@Sam Armstrong being served by someone who’s paid to do it doesn’t justify you being an ass with them. It’s called kindness and respect
@Sam Armstrong Yeah, I was referring to the bartender thing tho. Also Jonna Mendez carry no gun (even though she was trained for), she was no killer, as far as we know.
@Sheila Pasquini
I too, highly respect Mrs Jonna Mendez. The Lady is extremely intelligent and a true Patriot.
Thank you, Mrs Mendez for your service, and keeping America safe.
The number of sit-down interviews that I can watch to the end are honestly, very few. This interview was, I felt as though I couldn't or shouldn't miss a second of it for fear of missing something important. GREAT JOB! Loved it. I learned allot, not that I need to know; but still...
I get the distinct feeling we only got 1/100 of the truth about the CIA in this interview. Amazing! Great job.
loved it you interview some of the most fascianting people thank you
Damm how awesome would be your grandma being a ex-CIA spy
Exactly! I want to be an interesting grandma!!
Asking the real questions...
Maybe your Grandmom is CIA. Smoke a joint and think about that one.
This woman has grand kids and a younger son lol poor guy
U would never lie to her .
Again, I didn’t know if I wanted to commit an hour to this video. The only problem was that I started watching it. And poof, I couldn’t stop until the end, Great interview like always Patrick.
Me too lol! I was late as hell.
Exact same
Wish he listed all the movies that they talked about, didn't get to write them down 🤪🤬
I was like: Wait this went by so fast. *Looks at my clock.* Oh!
Same
Hi Patrick, this was a very interesting interview. I was spellbound with both, the author, and the ease with which you do your job! You ask great questions and you always take enough time to make your interviewees feel comfortable and relaxed. I love your show! It's so nice to watch an interview where the person being interviewed doesn't get cut off due to time constraints. Keep up the great work! God Bless and be safe.
What an amazing interview. I couldn't stop watching it.
What a awesome lady. I could sit and listen to her stories for hours...
Patrick always has interesting guests on.
yeah but his interview skills are sub par
comes off like a bag of hammers...got it?
g quin She will take you out any day now ( as a hobby )
Patrick lives under a rock.
Dino S I have to disagree
This was such an awesome interview. Ordered her book and can't wait to hear more from this brilliant woman!
30:30 “You want his cook. His cook will have all his information.”

Alexa bah! What about when your phone is in your pocket....you just happen to have a conversation with a friend about something random like the new Nissan Rogue, it's pretty cool eh.....the next day you're seeing Nissan Rogue ad's on your phone......meanwhile you haven't searched anything regarding it. Are our phones listening to us while they're just in our pockets. You bet they are!
This should have way more likes.
Fuck yeah they are and many people seem to not even give a shit! Blows my mind!
YES! I didn't get a smart phone until last year. (I didn't trust them) I was talking to someone, in person, not on the phone, I had just met. JUST TALKING. Within days, I had emails in my Gmeil with this person's name as the "sender"., but it wasn't her. I never put her name anywhere on my phone, anywhere on my laptop, she didn't know my email, she didn't know my phone number. It reminded me why I didn't get a smart phone until last year - which I ONLY got due to a job.
Jay Home my buddy can pull up our conversations that we had that the phone recorded with no phone call.
My dad couldn't find his keys one day, and my mom and I were helping him look for them. A couple of hours later I get an email for one of those key finder devices that you attach to them and can make it beep so you can find them... and we weren't even speaking in English! it's scary
I really respect her right from the beginning saying doing a job that "hopefully" matters.
Thank you for your service! Inspiring life, inspiring Patriot...
Wonderful interview with an intriguing
guest. Hope her book makes the top sellers list. Thank you for all of the work and risks you and your husband have taken behind the scenes .
Love this guy, he asked all the questions I wanted to ask, thank you!
Pat, this is the best interview ever! I find Jonna so fascinating and you are an excellent interviewer. I've seen her in other videos and she is so awesome. Keep up the great work Pat!
@g quin You are an idiot
General-GeeZuSe Agreed. Soo annoying. Go away @g Quinn
Very interesting interview! I sat on the edge of my seat. Thank you, Mr. Bet-David for having her as your guest on the program.
I seriously loved this interview, so amazing!
Thankyou my friend, have a good day and keep up the great content its a blessing.
This was amazing! Thanks so much ! Keep doing what you're doing. God bless
This lady is amazing , i could listen to her stories all day. she is truly brilliant
Loved this one!! Thank you 🙏🏼
I know Pat has his own thing going on, but he's seriously one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. He asks biting, challenging questions that steer the guests to answer in an interesting manner. He predicts what the audience wants to know next, and asks the right question to get a good answer. His follow-ups are the most amazing I've seen, he engages with the information and follows up whenever it's prudent. The world needs more journalistic masters.
I absolutely agree!
In my opinion, P. B-D is one of the very best interviewers out there! He is truly gifted, a younger Larry King-esque style I might even say..
You can even see him usually make notes or alterations on his prepared document, most likely an outline of questioning for the interviews. He is extremely adaptable as an interviewer. Regardless of any post editing on the part of valuetainment, his adaptability creates a sense of flow during the interview and beyond that, he has the ability to skip over points for the sake of the direction in regard to the answers to his inquiries, then manages to circle back around to a topic or question while maintaining coherence and continuity throughout.
And his capacity to do it across the board with such different and varied personalities also speaks towards his skill as an interviewer.
When I first discovered Patrick, I was like "Great. Another clown who thinks we want to hear his opinion."
Now I cant stop watching all of his videos, and he's honestly become one of my favorite people to watch on youtube. Crazy.

This is my second view. Love this lady. It’s good to know this, entertaining. Thanks
Absolute fascinating to learn this from such a great communicator and intelligent woman. Glad she and her husband were on our side. A really interesting career.
Chief of Disguise? Man that's a badass job title!
I guess, if you're a lying piece of shit

Patrick, your video's are always so doggoned informative. Keep up the fantastic work of shining the spotlight on important issues and people! Thank you for bringing us Jonna...… she is Priceless. Please do another hour with her.
For the longest time, the book written by you and and your husband, was my absolute most favourite! Loved the stories.
This has got to be the best video I've enjoyed watching. Loved it. My kinda topic/interest.
wow man, look how far youve come. you really have established a presence with interviewing ppl. americas number 1 interviewer! you ask questions we want to hear! and all of your guests are are so interesting!
This guy's interviewing skills are rising at such a rate and his style is so effective and so quality based that he is in another Realm.
hahahha you must be kidding. What interviewing skill?? He is so Dull
@@Leoh1 he is beyond annoying
That was a fascinating interview! Thank you.
One of the most fascinating things I've watched in a while. Good work!.. ☺
Wow, what an informative show. That insight is incredible, you bring in great topics, I need to pay closer attention to your pieces. You r now on my radar. Thank u!
Amazing lady and a national hero, as well as her husband. Thank you.
It's really rare I watch an interview where the interviewer asks Every question I had, myself. This was Very Satisfying. What a Pleasure to watch Patrick Bet-David interview~ I will now look for more of his work. Beautifully done. Thank You!
Awesome video! Thanks so much ❤️
"we would lie for a living"
What if the whole video is a lie?
Lol. Plausible. Possible. Perhaps true.
*x-file theme plays*
It is...
ofcourse it is a lie to sell the book
Mind blown
I think this woman is bloody amazing!!
You like liars, thieves, murderers, drug traffickers, human traffickers, pedophiles? CIA engages in all these activities. Shame on you.

@Philip Robertson III wake up
Fasinating! Great interview Pat, very interesting and informative guest. Compelling!
I love her!!! I can't get enough of her videos... She's lived such a fulfilling life and I find that so incredibly motivating and inspiring... I wish I had done something that amazing but unfortunately, my life can be summed with... Made horrible choices, became a junkie, overcame that after 13 years, been 3 years sober, and now at 36....starting back up at zero lol....
You might have made some bad choices in the past, but you've also made some good ones more recently. For example, "overcame that after 13 years, been 3 years sober, and now at 36....starting back up at zero lol." It takes a lot of strength of character to overcome what you have, and that strength of character will serve you well going forward.
@@bhoward9378 Awwww you made me cry happy tears... Your words are uplifting and so encouraging. I pray God blesses you greatly and keeps using you to speak life unto others as you have just done with me. Thank you!
Outstanding interview and such a fascinating lady! Her husband Tony is a CIA legend. Fantastic people!
I love listening to her insight and stories.
Great episode once again. Need more and more
Bro this video inspired me and motivated me on many many things, every honor is really worth watching
Loved it from start to finish.
Hope you can get more spy masters on and set the record stright.
Wow! What a hell of an interview!
Fantastic interview! Amazing! Good Job!
Thank you for asking some of my burning questions for Agent Mendez.
My gosh this is next level interview
Sounds like Tony died. Since he had Parkinson’s I guess he passed. Sad for her. Wish we could find a cure for that.
Ancient science called ayurveda ignored and villified by western science already has the cure to this and many more...

Yes, January 2019 he passed.

Thank you for this informative vid.
I've seen this woman before and she's always fascinating. Loved it
Dad(of beloved memory; some 20 + years now) was an intelligence officer throughout most of the 60's and part of the 70's: first in Nam for the USAF and later on analyzing Cold War data from both the Soviets and Chinese. Some of the latter was very much the "Do we launch our missiles or don't we?" scenarios. So while Mom and we kids were lucky enough to travel with him for that portion of his career, Classified was still a word to describe work at the end of his shift. "How'd your day go, Dad?" "Classified."😉
Very cool interview. Great Job!
You are one of the best interviewers I have ever seen. Always the best guests too.
You always have the most awesome and interest guests. Thanks
I have a horrible attention span and I watched this entire interview and I want more. I can listen to her for hours.
This is just like another world!
Absolutely fascinating!!
One of the few videos not necessarily yours, I make it through a lot of yours, that has caught my attention and make it through the entire video! Keep it up make some more like that.
This was fascinating. I could listen to this lady talk for hours!
Me too. Very interesting to learn how it all worked in her day.
Patrick, I appreciate your interview style. You sometimes challenge the interviewee's political beliefs without revealing your own. When you ask political questions, it feels more like you're presenting "devil's advocate" kind of questions. There are no "gotcha!" questions. You are sincerely gathering information with no agenda. This is what real journalism is. FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the other huge media conglomerates should take notes from you on how to interview people.
Daniel Kraus I usually read The Independent when I read politics. They provide a unbiased opinion on a lot of stuff

Wow, PBD, you’ve done it again. Interviewing some of the most interesting people in the world.
Every minute of this chat was fascinating. 🕵️♂️
Loved this interview!
I do love how she mentions the CIA is run by women currently. I mean especially for her who worked when women were not treated even close to equal especially in a workplace where keeping your emotions in check can be the only thing keeping you alive that must feel really good.

That is a Jonna Mendez mask being worn by deep CIA agent.
