- Mike Glover talks about what it was like making his way over to the CIA and contracting as a GRS operator and the transition from regular military. Mike explains how op tempo was different and being around some of the most professional shooters in the world from various special operations units such as Navy SEALS, SEAL Team 6, Delta Force, Green Berets, Rangers, CCTs, and PJs. Are there any others i'm missing? GRS operators bring a lot of experience to the table, and you can expect to have one of the most capable units in the world.

Raw and uncut. I really appreciate this channel. Thank you all for your service.
Bro operation northwoods is what bush and Cheney used to do 9/11 on us. Rumsfield stole 2.3 trillion from the Pentagon a day before 9/11 to start the war then hired robert Mueller sept 4th as fbi director to go after anyone not going with the narrative...and you your buddies all helped them, killed millions of innocent Iraqis...the cia is the world's terrorists...how do u and all these people sleep at night??? Rob u tim Kennedy all these people did genocide on the world so a few people in government can get rich....what about all those people and nyfd people dying so bush can make money through war.....it was all for money and the petro dollar.
Shawn Ryan is such a fantastic interviewer. He listens really well and lets the guests do the talking! He asks important questions when its appropriate. He never makes it about himself. Great job Shawn!!
Yes he really is!!!!
There are some guys I can listen to a lot and not get tired of......Mike and Shawn....your it !
Love it when Mike and Shawn get together! Dream team material.
Probably wouldn't love it if you were a terrorist haha.
I really liked their zombie survival/apocalypse vid where they went and bought a bunch of survival stuff at Walmart. Wish they had more collaborations like that one.
@@AirAssault7 Facts. So much to learn just from watching these minds in action.
less bull because once you expose someone to a psychological concept like "the placebo effect" it no longer works on them, likewise with other psychologically manipulative concepts that certain ranks must know of. In other words, there is nothing to be learnt from or "utillized" at that point once they know. It's kinda like if everyone read that one book "how to win friends and influence people" if everyone reads it, they'll suspect you of just being a doosh or using manipulative techniques against them lol. Counter productive.
@@campsitez2355 Weaponized Autism?
Thanks to both of you for all you've done and continue to do!
Shawn is just an amazing counterpart in these kinds of interviews. The episode with DJ Shipley was mindblowing
Awesome right 🥸
D blowing
@@rve3716 that’s all you could come up with?😬🤫
@@Adubs917 says someone who didn't say shit and uses weak emojis
Damn dude hold that L
Thanks for the upload
Thank you both
Mike Glover holds the record for saying "Special operations" in any 5 minute time frame
Take a shot every time he says "special operations"
See you under the table 😉
@@hondomclean6759 you’re gonna see me in that coffin lol
“When I was operating special operations in the commanders in-extremis force, I oversaw many special operations that special forces operated in”
He also insinuates things about his career that are simply not true. Matt Pranka. A former recon, navy dude has set the record straight. Glover isn’t all that he says he is. Same with Tu Lam. Tu lam was augmented to Delta, never went through otc. Bunch of people now days make their careers sound more high speed than they actually were.
@@JR-wo3sn Its the same everywhere mate. Most of the guys who show out and start talking are usually guys who didn't do much time in the units and were often seconded into the units. Plenty of the guys who are now coming out as UKSF were not badged. Yeah some are and there are a few seriously qualified guys out there but a lot of these guys simply uphold the tradition of QPros. However on the flip side there are people who have done some cool jobs in units that dont exist and simply cant say anything. FWIW.
Thank you for your content
Dang, 3 or 4 years down the road 💭 hmmm. I thought I
knew most everything about
you both. Wrong ! I didn’t know Mike worked for the CIA.
I didn’t know where you guy’s met. I always figured it was a war collaboration. Your both extremely humble gentlemen.
Not much for tooting your own
horns. Luv you both for that
quality. It’s an admirable characteristic. Still… I’m proud
you shared this. You both deserve the honor of all your accolades. Much luv for both
of you.

This podcast is phenomenal. I listen to Jocko religiously because I'm a huge history and leadership nut, then I switch to this when I want detail and direct action truth. These men pour out their souls on here and their accomplishments and honesty leaves them amongst the highest calibre people alive on earth today in my opinion. Bravo.
I listen to Jaco as well- He doesn't seem as enthusiastic about his years with the agency- He doesn't seem completely remorseful either- I gather he feels he was a positive influence within a dark organization. This guy talks it up like it was the greatest experience ever.
Always good stuff
Shawn great guest Mike defo got his experience
SRS #1 is where I discovered Mike Glover….best podcast going (shoutout to Ritland and Mike Drop!)
The stuff they did together before this was awesome.
My two favorite people on TH-cam in one video, wow. love what you guys are doing in the community.
I can already tell this is going to be an epic interview
The full interview is pinned at the top. It was three years ago. Great episode
Good show guy!
look .......... ok so Glover and Ryan are world class BAs ........... we appreciate you !!!
We are lucky to be in a time to hear the personal stories of first-hand encounters. Thank you beyond words.
You two scare me,thank God you're on our side 🤘
Congrats on 1M subs. Been following you since the beginning in Florida and it's great to see your growth. ✌️
Michael Spann's uncle was one of my 5th and 6th grade teachers. Small, but violent, world.
5th and 6th grade were that violent? Woah
Mike giving Shawn the warm and fuzzies ☺️🫶
Amazing Work Dude Keep it up!!!
Thanks for tuning in!
I’ve watched the Air Marshals shoot, and they’re no joke. Some of the toughest standards on handguns and rifles.
Great episode #1 and have only gotten better 👏 👍
Thanks for sticking around!! 👊🏼
One hell of a pair of humans right here!
That’s saying something when guys who have already gone through though screening, vetting and training in Spec Ops get to a new unit/job (“the Agency”) and are impressed by their shooting standards.
Here in Fiji we don't have an elite force/special force unit.The only way is to join the British Army or migrate overseas and work your way if your goal is to join the Army/Navy. I'm grateful to listen to these men for telling us and educating us about their experiences. The only way to better ourselves is by throwing away the veil of indifference and seeking a higher purpose ,because then we become something else, WARRIORS. THANK YOU BOTH (PAST & FUTURE QUESTS)FOR BEING TRUE AND REAL AND BRINGING HONOR TO YOUR FAMILIES.
Awesome show! Keep up the good job!
Thank you!
mike glover is such a king
Does Shawn have any thoughts on Maj Gen Smedley Butler and his book "War is a Racket"?
Mr.speak very strongly and consciously about what it serves and what was very important.Mr.emphasize very strongly words that have very important value.I think the attitude is enviable
Great respect for Special Operations CIA 🇺🇸
Great respect for Veterans CIA 🇺🇸 and Family
BOWS 🕊️🤝
This dude is incredible!
Mike Glover is an American hero!!!
Your content with Mike glover and your Glock 43x reviews are my favorite content.
What's up Mike! ? You deserve that HK MP5 SD
Love Mike Glover, super intelligent guy, American Hero without a doubt. I don’t agree with his politics always, but he’s an amazing dude.
From Sentinel at Arlington to CIA. Impressive resume...
Respect!
Fascinating
Great mindset.
I want to see Shawn and Mike Ritland get added to Andy, Evan and Mike glovers podcast trio and listen to all of them so I can laugh my ass off.
This would be awesome to see
Almost too good for a podcast, we’re not worthy to hear that lol
These two are awesome together! ....would love to see a collab with these guys and the GBRS guys!
Good stuff!!!
Dude this should be an epic interview !
Mike was the first interview i watched with Shawn on the S.R.S 👍
Much love to both of you guys. I was combat wounded in Phantom Fury with 3/1. Went through a hall of a fit in that rehab process when I started reading things like Douglass Valentines CIA as organized crime and coming to the realization that the CIA actually works for corporations and the expansion of the AngloAmerican corporate empire. Its good to hear personal accounts like yours and my uncle who flew for Air America in the mid 60s. He said he (Tennessee accent) "we were running and doing all sorts of things, and not a bit of it did I agree with."
Yep they overthrew Ghadafi for SoS HillDog Clinton and now there are open slave markets to this day!
Go back to Horno
Absolutely my two favorite people to listen to. 🇺🇸
And dj Shipley
Don’t forget D. J. Shipley, Erik Prince, Tu Lam, Bob “Ninja” Poras, and Eddie Penny.
I think I remember DJ Shipley talking about certain guys in tier one units being "quirky" just as Mike Glover did here. I'd love to hear what type of "quirky oddball weirdos" have made it to high-level special operations. To hear where the "oddball" guys are great at their job but all the other operators are looking at him and thinking "WTF?"
I'd also like to hear this this is such an interesting idea to me.
I think Rob ONeill has characterized himself to that effect.
Mike Glover isn't that guy
The occupation and time select out “normal”.
@@TKE644 I was just about to say I think rob O’Neil fits this perfectly lol he’s a down to earth funny ass dude that’s a straight killer when need be
Dang dumbass me thought it was a new episode! c'mon Shawn don't do us like that! 😂😂. But seriously though you should have Mike on again
Spent four years working as a GRS operator. Spent most my time at the flagpole in the secondary. Shawn will get my refrences.
I was in Yemen for a couple months with USMC FAST co. We found out after we left that this one building we had to report activity on was a CIA . HQ. Wonder if we overlapped there.
Respect
I am obsessed with Geology also!
Good to know that the best shooters are operating inside a pressurized tube 30,000 feet in the air.
0:12 " Mike Spann, prior Marine Officer, member of CIA para military, was the first casualty of the global war on terrorism...." I can totally agree and understand what this guys talking about cause I still remember where I was when I heard the news about Mike Spann, i remember where I was. I remember that day.
Isn’t it awesome that Military guys can go through all this and the training that goes with it only to NOT be allowed to have a pistol brace on a civilian AR.
What's even better is to have a guy like Mike be placed on a domestic extremist list by the fabulous FBI.
@@TheObscuran anybody who is seen as patriotic and takes pride in their country gets put on that list
All that sacrifice to be not allowed to have a pistol brace on a sporting rifle.
Irrelevant
Just keep the damn thing on your gun. They won't be going door to door for those, or checking the legality of you having one on a range. And if you end up unfortunately having to use it in your house it will be the least of your worries. I'm more curious about what would be said in regards to a one piece extended buffer tube with a cheek rest built in. Because then, it's just your buffer tube.
just wondering on a scale of 0 to "jerry mikulek" how good exactly are "the best operational shooters" in your opinion ?
Love your show brother
Yup.😎
Great stuff as usual.
Fantastic stuff
Great compliment coming from that guy and his background.
There are people out there that do things most people dont know about. Movies are fun. But its the real deal.
I am a Marine, former SWAT cop, but there be badasses out there. Thank god they're on our side, and I dont have to hear about it.
While you guys were having fun in Yemen I was stuck aboard the USS Makin Island as part of the 11th MEU. We got stuck at sea because shit was going down and we were QRF. Fun times
Mike Spann was in my unit: 4th ANGLICO
Mike and Shawn are the best. Thanks for the great content. Haters can suck it!!
Is that a motorcycle engine behind him.. thats cool
What smart watch is that? Looks cool
People don't understand that alot of Military personnel once the get out want to go back in. Doesn't matter if we were SPECOPS or regular Military. We spent years training and fighting and wanted to do that again after we got out.
Anyone any idea on Mike's watch, model? make? and all the shebang?
For someone that wants to work in GB I hear a lot of guys saying they would rather do GRS instead of the PMOO side
Maybe they mean the actual agency employee PMOO job. GB also is predominantly contractors who do the grunt work. I’ve heard that it is very Raider heavy these days and they love it over there.
PMOO brings you into more of the traditional intel stuff, different skill set for shooters.
@@bobbyh.4717 no GRS is contract heavy, GB are sworn in employees for the agency
@@grizzlyblue6389 correct, your deff not kicking in doors and direct action everyday… Way different job
@@Arbiter710 there are Ground Branch contractors sir. They are called Paramilitary Specialists. That is directly from Mick Mulroy (a Marine turned PMOO).
FUCK......I can't THANK YOU guys enough for who you are! You are the BALLS of AMERICA and you guys make us feel proud to be Americans!! I'm 61 and I haven't felt the way I feel now after watching these videos in a long time!! Again... THANK YOU!! You guys are straight the real deal no fucken BULLSHIT! Im lookin to buying my first AR and watched one of your ar videos. Im going to be basing it on your likes and experiences! Keepin it clean with no BS eye candy gadgets. Use to hunt and be into shooting back in the day, many moons ago, and looking forward in gettin back into it.
These guys are at the top of a lot of lists, and
Unfortunately many will be picked up for strange and compromised positions if and when things are to go south in the near future. Unfortunately, also, a lot of guys will just put their heads down and not say peep being bought and paid for long before.
It's going to be a interesting future with a lot of noise and people eating the hot side of barrels, mysterious circumstances and all that.
I'm old, and living with a expiration date, just hope I'm either gone or can still get around if and when it happens.
We as a people are well and truly screwed...
What's the "direct hires", "independent contractors"?
Heroes
Yep.T800Aust
What watch is Mike wearing?
TIA
Was a Green Beret for 9 years (18e), invited to Delta selection 7 times but only special projects once. Very selective.
I don’t think Delta invites someone 7 times man, not sure what you gain from this comment 😂
Especially within 9 years
@@user-ut6nj8ug2p Almost every year I was an operator. Don't believe me, don't care.
Maybe you don't get the idea of the invite. Invites are for selection. Nobody just walks on to a team.
The "Quiet Professional" doesn't exist anymore.
I heard that once Shaun Ryan smiled, anyone seen any footage??
Proud to be an American !!
✝️🇺🇸🦅✌🏻
Proud to lick the boot on your neck ? Sweet
Soo Glover was apart of the SAD? Bad ass
No, like every single GRS guy they obfuscate what they did and lie by omission. He was a GRS contractor, they pull security for CIA compounds.
He talks about WANTING to be a PMOO, which is far better then why Ryan talks about being a CIA "spy", but none of them were W2 CIA employees, they were security contractors.
You don't see PMOO giving interviews
I see you, Bong Revilla. The Philippine Panday.
"We're the best shooters in the world" *** avoids Ben Stoeger
I would think there is a difference between competition shooting and actual killing. Skills are one thing the job is another.
Think buck fever.
Then think who has the ability to pop a guy and move on like nothing happened.
@@oso9809 shooting is shooting. The context in which you apply those skills do vary however.
@@moostangvert exactly
“Operational relevance” would have been interesting to explore what that means - you were enacting military operations aligned to political objectives. Where does “relevance” take you in relation to those objectives. In short - how much do understand and agree with the reasons politicians point armed forces in specific directions.
When i furst heard of. Mike i was. Like. Who what. Til i met him and all Doubts. Vanished. Fast i knew from. Talking to him he was a. Warrior from. Jump. Street. Serious. About. Doing the. Right. Thing and. Smart. Bob13
Someone post the clip of Mike getting a dry fire and yanking his pistol down with his crappy grip 😂
Are air Marshall's really the best shots as far as qualifying standards go?
UK guy here, what I take from it is that he saying Gov Spoofs are right up there - but are vetted by the likes of US Marshall service to validate - at the end he says they are private contractors, reason for this is for the deniability factor (no breadcrumbs)
@@Steamerbeen at the end of the day their official role is a contractor because they're working on a contract to contract basis rather than full employment with a government agency
It would be super interesting to hear from an air Marshall (retired) on your podcast
Yeah that was interesting he said they have one of the hardest quals, makes sense when I actually think about it though.
I’ve watched the very few Delta clips available…starting a los ready qual before eyes in target is wild…I know some qualified are passed over for minor reasons that work out in the end.
But we are talking the hidden top 1%. There’s a reasons SEAL want to be Delta and no Delta wants to be a SEAL.
Well Delta is tier 1 and SEALs are tier 2. Seal team 6 is more comparable to Delta because they are also tier 1
Shawn you need some vigilance elite coasters, that drink on the leather chair 😱
Sounds like he was a contractor or PMIC, while he waited for a spot as a PMOO, and or PMO.
Michael Spann from Winfield, Al
Agree with Mike. GRS has some the best combat shooters. The qualification course is legit. I knew if we had to get out of the car and go to guns, I would not be alone.
As a former cobra I can backup everything this man said.
People think that you guys like these don’t exist. That they’re only in movies. It’s not true I would be absolutely terrified if one of these offers came after me. if you ever worked alongside these guys, you’d feel like you were going in slow motion compared to them.
My life plan at 15 was to join the Corps, go Force Recon and then CIA paramilitary as well. I could have been J. M. Spann....
And then what, you sprained your ankle?
Mikes the balls when the government was harassing him I was pissed! Great guy like to hear his stories. Outstanding American!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
