This interviewer is REALLY good. Do NOT change your interviewing style/method, please! This is EXACTLY how interviews (podcasts) should be conducted but rarely are.
Literally been watching him for the last hour and a half now cooked and all my dad is watching now and he’s a veteran 🙏🏽🤍💯 please keep your channel JUST LIKE THIS!
Except they stopped the entire story short?! Didn’t even get to the capture. The whole fucking 20 minutes to end with a high five for a guy climbing down a pole???
Phenomenal. The lost art of interviews.. ask great questions and let them answer the question. A few subtle nudges in the right spots. Dude. You are really good at this. 💯 Keep it coming.
@user-qg8cj4zh5r 100% I have already watched these two long a$$ interviews. Dalton does a great job of interviewing a guy that has already been interviewed and asked 100 questions.
Really interesting and I truly like your show’s format. It is so refreshing to be able to listen to your guest talk without constant interruptions. It is refreshing and much appreciated. Thank you.
The CIA and MI6 have caused more death and harm to the people of this world than is imaginable and you thank him: fool. They created most of the "terrorist" groups around the world and are definitely the worlds most dangerous drug cartel. The world would be a much better place if Kennedy had been able to break them up.
... Sounds Jolly Peaceful Indeed... 82 Sir. I just Know you'll know a Good Hearty Tale... Or Five 😂😂😂.. Greetings From Bradford West Yorkshire 🏴... WOW!... IDAHO... MMmmmm 6:35
Howdy from the southeast down in the Georgia mountains. I hope you’re enjoying the farm. I’m working very hard to get one of my own. God Bless you, grandfather 🫡
John is full of shit. He goes into alot of unnecessary details (which I think he made up) just to show how important he was and tried to make everything look so dramatic. The guy is a showboat
Good luck with the new channel. Well done interview. Hard to do bad with John K telling stories. He’s a great storyteller. His honesty and humble attitude makes for a great story.
WHAT A GREATinterview ! You have to be one of the best interviewers I've seen. You never interrupted, and yet you let him tell a coherent and believable story.
Discovered your channel during a sleepless night. Love the interview! If I may offer a suggestion regarding editing: drop the Coming Up intros, just open straight with your logo then into each segment. Not sure what the analytics say about this, but personally I despise this trend I’m seeing more and more on TH-cam channels - I either skip through it or change the video almost instinctively at this point when any channel does it. (Yours and The Times Radio are two where I’ll do the latter because I truly enjoy the guests’ expertise).
Interesting, thanks for that feedback- I put that in as a snapshot of what's to come in hopes that people will stick around to watch. Curious if other people feel the same way. Glad you found the channel!
@@DaltonFischerPodcastI agree completely. I’ve seen quite a number of channels going this route and I do not care for it. If the content is good it will keep people who you are targeting. The intro ruins the flow of the body of work. I find myself not paying attention when I am re-hearing information and lose interest.
more like lazy fuck who maybe out of his depth (of conversation). it is wise to keep quite but I doubt it is anything other than he simply has nothing to say.
@@PureMagma Pretty much but at least it's interesting. I now question his judgement since I saw a subsequent podcast where he admitted that he thinks Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius and Borat is brilliant content. Gotta be kidding me, the sh!+ he was out doing in the middle east was suicidal. I think the only thing that saved him is that nobody involved wanted to be on video retiring him.
@@PureMagma Yeah, this is going nowhere. I'm getting tired of looking at his bent index finger. I'm nursing a bourbon and water. I'll sit here for a while. He's not getting any points from me.
Since its a CIA story everything is a little bit different in reality i bet. Also what the hell does cia wants with Bin Laden sons? All while his nephew is driving 20+ mil $ Mclaren F1 that he bought from ... Mr Bean - no kidding.
Thanks for the interview Dalton. I really stopped my work just to watch the whole thing LOL. I've subscribed. While the story is addictive in the interest of "justice", suspense and drama, I felt compelled to drop a note here (even though it may be obvious), that if we eventually want a world where we propagate kindness and love, we have to stop normalising killing, and stories about killing. Yes I understand that it may be killing someone who's killed countless others, and I'm referring to them too also, of course. Thank you for bringing these stories to the forefront, these stories go a long way towards making us examine what we are doing to each other as humans, and also, allowing your guests to express themselves, which in my humble opinion, is divine work for sure. More power to you brother.
This is definitely one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time, and lately I’ve seen some other interviews that Ive thought the same about but until now after watching this I can say this is something special that hasn’t been seen before, I couldn’t stop watching and he was so clear about everything that I wanted it to finish. Thank you for this opportunity thank you but also thank you for this amazing man’s work.
Congratulations on your new channel. This episode was spellbinding, with second by second suspense narration that keeps the audience at the edge of the chair.
@@unclerico1106very unlikely it still happens today unless the telephone pole uses very outdated equipment. Nowadays we use fiber optic cables which extremely hard to tap into compared to copper which almost anyone can figure out how to. As well as the fact that most networks use tamper detecting tools that can pinpoint the exact location of any attempted tampering.
@@andrewkenny2985you wouldn’t even need to do it through the cables. With the amount of Wifi hotspots around, and free to use software available, people would just use that instead.
Very similar look and feel to Shawn Ryan show. But this is not a bad thing, as Shawn is in my opinion among one of the top creators going into 2024 as far as quality content. If you have any more interviews that were as good as this one, I easily see 1M subs in your future. Keep up the good work!!! Much Love my dawg!
Bro it’s so different. Those guys BARLEY ask any questions, and are total re tards when it comes to asking legitimate questions. “Alex the great” with the stupidest observation ever
Surprised this wasn’t the first comment. Agree on all points. Nice to see quality work right of out of the gates and Shawn is the one to draw inspiration from imho.
Shawn Ryan is the worst interviewer on any of these podcasts. Its all about the quality if the questions you ask your subject and Ryan is really awful. Great guests but awful interviewer.
His chief and all top brass over there call him in, tell him that Abu Zubaydah is around and needs to be caught. No:3 in their target list and This great cia officer has a vague idea about the person. Needs an old timer to tell him who the guy is. And he gets pages of praises here. Are you guys serious?
I've met Jhon Kiriakou at the airport in Athens with his son and aproached him to thank him for the great job he is doing. What a great personality, we had a nice chat, there are no many people knows him in Greece and he was surprised that someone recognised him.
Good interview, I like how you ask good questions then let the interviewee speak at length without interruption. So rare these days. Liked, subbed, commented.
A very good friend of mine is from Pakistan. I spoke to him about UBL being found in his country and asked “do you think your government knew he was there?” He flat out said “of course they did, they were helping to hide him. The corruption there runs deep.” It was chilling to hear that. That a country who is supposed to help us is holding a carrot in front of our agents…
When President Clinton fired cruise missiles at Al Qieda targets in Pakistan, he called the Pakistani Government to inform them of the intrusion into their airspace (as they are obligated to do). The Pakistani Government called the terrorists and told them in advance.
Your perspective is still USA good those opposed bad. During Kennedy or Regan I would help tour country if I knew somthing huge. NOW????? I'll demand a payday from this........this....... whatever you want to call this current N. American government.
@@natestakely1478You do realize the CIA was running ops just like this one under Kennedy and Reagan right, the America then gave birth to the America of now, so don't be making out like it was a golden age, maybe it was for some Americans but you couldn't say the same for the Vietnamese the Koreans half a dozen latin American countries, hell the list goes on and on.
U shouldn't be stunned by the fact that "friends" from Muslim nations lie to you, Corán allows Muslims to hide their truer colors if it helps them, it's called taqiyya...
I just love that people criticize this guy from their couch in Indianapolis when they have no idea about or any experience with intelligence, Pakistan, terrorism, or even the CIA. Let the guy tell his story.
I feel the same. Certain topics draw trolls period! Custer! Alamo! And spycraft bring out all wannabe s for some reason! Arrogant dismissive and clueless!
Couple of camera tips, for the profile shot at 4:58, it’s okay to crop off the top of his head a bit. The eyes should be intersecting the top 1/3 of the frame. Having headroom is typically the way to go, but when you do a tight closeup like this, the face and eyes are the focus. On the wider shot, turn off auto focus so it doesn’t keep hunting for focus when his hand comes into frame. You can use auto focus on the initial setup of the shot, but then, turn it off. His face is the most important thing, especially in a sit-down interview. Auto focus is a great tool, but for sit-down interviews, it can be distracting.
I learned a very long time ago when I grew up in the automotive industry, that a good leader trains his people that every one could take his position in a heartbeat without loosing the goal of any project they’re working on.
I just wish you didn't use clickbait on your thumbnail (Maya from Zero Dark Thirty) where it's not related at all. Good interview and great content nonetheless.
Like all great interviewers (Joe Rogan, Michael Franzese, etc) you have the gift of letting your guest talk while you patiently listen without interrupting him...this helps the story to be delivered more fully which any listener will appreciate and support your site ! Well done !
Note: there have been multiple sources challenging Kiriakou's version of catching Abu Zubaydah. For one they (Grenier et others) claim he wasn't in Faisalabad when Zubaydah was captured. That's a pretty major point.
This guy is great - the interview barely interjects and never interrupts. Great content.
Agree - something about the setting of the interview, the pace, the lighting, the set itself...it altogether leaves you on the edge of your seat - really well done!
Glad you liked it Mike!
Yea id take a grain of salt with him a couple his stories really don't jibe n they smack of not just embellishments but outrt lies so that compass usually points to an overall hemisphere rather than lil land mass
Don’t jibe with what?
You have nothing to compare the axmccounts to.
Yeah, agreed alot of times interviewers just want to hear themselves talk. They'll ask needless questions and throw off the rhythm of the story.
This interviewer is REALLY good.
Do NOT change your interviewing style/method, please!
This is EXACTLY how interviews (podcasts) should be conducted but rarely are.
Omg after reading tons of comments cock gobbling the interviewer, you just couldn't help getting your gulps in
Sure it works for this interview, but what could he possibly have added with the subject manner, there's a art to it and it's not just being a mute

Jose Rodriguez said in his book that Kiriakou lies constantly. Rodriguez ran CIA's counterterrorism operations for years.
Couple of camera tips, for the profile shot at 4:58, it’s okay to crop off the top of his head a bit. The eyes should be intersecting the top 1/3 of the frame. Having headroom is typically the way to go, but when you do a tight closeup like this, the face and eyes are the focus. On the wider shot, turn off auto focus so it doesn’t keep hunting for focus when his hand comes into frame. You can use auto focus on the initial setup of the shot, but then, turn it off. His face is the most important thing, especially in a sit-down interview. Auto focus is a great tool, but for sit-down interviews, it can be distracting.
