jamie
the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
all righty mike baker first of all sir thank you very much for joining us no
thank you thank you
uh love the podcast and by the way uh the code word uh rogan may not be that
secure as a code word
but it's a good one it's a terrible code word as far as security no if it was
your wi-fi password
i would say uh you're in deep trouble you've got to change that thing well
coming from you you know
about some shit uh you're you're a former well explain what you did you were
the former covert
operations officer for the cia yeah i i uh went in i was recruited in the
agency uh and and then the cia
is divided into a handful of directorates you've got the director of operations
which is pretty much
what it sounds like uh you've got the director of intelligence which is where
they put all the smart
people and they do all the reports writing they take all the raw intelligences
coming in from the field
and they put into some usable form that can then be kicked out the door to the
national security
council the white house it's it's used by uh the other agencies in the intel
community and and
primarily by the white house so a lot of smart people sitting over there then
they've got s t which
is science and technology that's where you get all the gear so that's where
they develop all i mean
they've developed in the agency over the years everything from the u2 to uh you
know stealth
uh technology uh drone capability all a lot of the drone technology came right
out of the agency they've
done a tremendous number of things uh right there in house and uh then we have
the administrative
logistics group and they're incredibly important because they keep uh money and
gear and everything
else flowing out to the field what is the biggest misconception about the cia
you being you know a guy who worked
with them for years like i know that there's all sorts of wacky conspiracies
out there about
everything anything that there is where people don't have all the facts and
information is going
to be wacky conspiracies look i know a bunch of wacky conspiracies just about
the ufc they're
they're ridiculous and me knowing the actual inside truth i hear these things
and i go what the
fuck are you talking about right things that i'm supposed to say the things
that i had to do because
you know the ufc made me or they said you have to say this which is all 100
percent bullshit right
what's what are the big misconceptions um no you're absolutely right and and
the agency is is uh it's
like it attracts this sort of thing right it attracts sort of the byzantine
theories and the
conspiracy theories and all that because again it's it there's a reason why you
have secrets there's a
reason why you protect sources and methods and so because you don't have
transparency that people
would like to see they assume that you're out to fuck them over you're out to
screw the world and
and that's just not the case so i guess that the number one conspiracy is that
somehow the uh the cia
and the intel community of the u_s_ is uh involved in some one world government
that they're basically
out to fuck everybody and they're not the the agency is an incredibly apolitical
organization doesn't
matter who's in charge in the white house you get your task and you march on
and that's a really good
thing because a lot of other countries over there including a lot of our allies
they have very
politicized intel communities so every time you get a change in leadership you
know out go some people
and come some new people and they're beholden to the uh to the white house so
that's one of the things
you know i suppose the other thing would be um that we've got nothing but hot
chicks walking around
the building and and if you walk in we got wonderful people but we you know we
don't have that many hot
chicks isn't that because of homeland yeah exactly one show it up for everybody
yeah alias and all the
all the other movies the beach books you know every everybody's supposed to be
hot in the agency
i was disappointed too i mean when i started there i got in for my first couple
of days of training i kept
thinking are they hiding them are they are they someplace else or you know a
lot of really great people but
you know the quote of hot chicks was was less than i expected you bring up an
interesting point about being
apolitical now that's one thing that a lot of people worry about when it comes
to organizations that
they may have more power in fact than the political governing body that
controls the country like one
of the big theories about the cia was the cia had kennedy killed because kennedy
was trying to get rid of
the cia i mean wasn't that one of the big ones that was that was one of the big
ones that's and that's
still endearing i did i'd i'd co-host a show on travel channel america declassified
right that was
the first season it's good they're changing the title for the second season but
in the first season
we uh we looked at the uh the kennedy assassination and absolutely i talked to
a number of people who
have been involved in in in you know studying that for a long time and they're
you you're never going
to shift them off that position that the agency was involved and there's a lot
of people out there
and part of it is because you know again there's no transparency and people
assume the worst if
they don't get exactly what they want to hear and people like conspiracy
theories anyway they always
want yeah they're sexy they're fine yeah what's not to like so you uh you
interviewed that jim mars
guy on your show america declassified yeah and he's uh he's he's an interesting
cat he's a full-on nutter
right yeah i'll stick with he's an interesting cat yeah i'll go with a he's a
full-on nutter slash
interesting cat yeah and he's uh he's all about ufos and bases on the moon and
yeah i'm not saying
there's not bases on the moon i mean there may be that part there yeah i can
confirm that but uh as
far as the kennedy assassination goes again it's it's it's one of those things
you could see why at the
end of not i don't want to disappear on that rabbit hole but you can see why at
the end of that story
that episode when we talked to a lot of people we did a lot of research you can
see why the the the
theory still holds a conspiracy still out there what do you think happened with
kennedy do you think oswald
acted alone yeah you know what i think that um once you get inside there we got
really good access
into that and that's part of what the show's about but we had really good
access into that window that
very spot where you know he took the shots now he wasn't he wasn't lex luthor
but he had enough
training and when you look at the distance involved the line of sight the
weather conditions the lighting
conditions the fact that he reconned that target or that site beforehand
because he worked there
he had every advantage he needed and so the idea that he could make those shots
with the with the
training that he had received from the marines again he would you know was he
the world's greatest
sniper course not but he had enough and also he had an elemen
