will you please put lou elizondo or hal puthoff in your show my brother?

especially lou elizondo. you need to grab him before rogan. this guy is smart and you can ask him some questions no one else has broski. keep up the good work 💪

eric weinstien asked some with him briefly and I think even Eric is coming around finally.

We don’t deserve you.

This guy would make a good President

THIS 💯💯

Lex is the new goat of podcasts.

There is a judge in Traverse City Michigan nicknamed Prison Powers (Judge Powers) who has publicly stated before he retires he will give out 2 million man years. I, for the life of me cannot imagine how he could be impartial or ethical as a judge. He almost always goes WAY above sentence guidelines.

@@eliaswreford4523 funny how Travis City Michigan is infested with Democratic ideals and a local Judge wants people to be in prison and maximize all sentences.

Still waiting for Jordan Peterson tho

Damn that's legit. Never heard it before but yes I love it.

He gives me Don King vibes….

@@benjaminchavez1121 Seems like Lex was catching on to this around 1:19:20

33 years in prison will keep you young.

@@wadeboggs5163 :) For sure!

Facts bro. I KNOOOOW his movie will be made soon. And I hope he's narrating it or at least someone who can talk like him

What do you know about old west prospectors? You need to get out and travel more. It’s not a highly unusual accent

imagine if this dude was ur plug

@@highdesertbiker how does this get highlighted? It’s a pretty bad comment.

@@HeliosDroneWorks probably because you are a professional clown?

So true🙌🏽

Such an interesting range of in-depth interviews

I never clicked so fast on a video

Dude’s a gem

He's becoming like a Joe Rogan, but not an idiot, and is truly providing different, but educated view points rather than batshit insane ones.

2:08:00 this daughters poem has bright tears to my eyes

Does he turn you on ? 😂

Fascinating, I was scanning the comments and read this one just before he said it 😶

They all snitch when they get caught

@@silverstar4289 This guy didn't, and plenty of others do not either. Some people actually do value loyalty, believe it or not

Absolutely

That voice 👌

He really would be a good narrator.

Absolutely agree! 💯

A movie would be to short… he needs a series with 12 seasons at least..

@@mariuspetre1613 Roger told me today that he just closed with Apple on a 10 episode series.

​@@aggibson74sure he did

@@Kink-Panther he had a talk at the local flight school here in Santa Barbara and that’s what he said. Interestingly enough, they did not revoke his pilot certificate and Roger is going to train for an IFR rating. He’s a student at the school.

Dude, if you haven't yet seen or listened to his conversation with Paul Rosolie, please indulge yourself. He moved from New York to the Amazon when he was 18 and every sentence of the 3 hours he had on the show is an unbelievable tale of adventure and discovery that rivals that of the works of Homer. Please, do yourself the favor, I implore you.

@@eamonia Thank you!! I will watch that with my morning coffee! He is so fascinating.

@@candyheadxo Thank you! I'm so happy that you took the time to respond and I sincerely think that you're going to absolutely love it.

@@candyheadxoHow was it?

Best compression ratio ever.

thats not even what was said.

@NewMind Wonders easy to judge sitting from anonymity.. and just because you're too frail to live against this "nation" doesn't make you any better than him

Nobodies perfect

That sums it up..

If you look at TV interviews in the 1950s & 60s, they used to be similar to this. Sadly, those days are far gone.

Old doco called Cocaine Cowboys . That's a good watch .

Tbats because Shit on television is fake Roberto lol

too bad we are just hearing about it as he is 80 now, got out at 78.

Yup genuine drug smuggler. 😅

But how could he not have had someone in his corner, a lawyer perhaps, who advised him about the way the FEDS started to apply the RICO statute to go after guys like him? And where did all his money go or how did he invest it to make it clean / legit?

@@coughforme21 someone in his corner is not necessary because lex is not divisive towards him. Simple Q&A style interview and an extra person there would have made things less candid.

@@HatedNelevated what? He's talking about during his criminal career

@@jeffmiller3499 statute of limitations

Lmao that is him 😂

😂😂

Stoned you are ?

YES, BEAUTIFUL SOUL, EVEN WITH JUSTIFICATIONS OF WRONG DOINGS, BUT HE DOES SEE CLEARLY. GOD HAS AN ETERNITY FOR HIM IF HE ACCEPTS AND FOLLOWS.

Jolly little psycho, not thinking of the damage those smuggled drugs cause.

He poisoned millikns of people with cocaine. Helping to destroy families and communities. But yes so kind 😂😂

exactly!

@@bccsivxx-xxivvii lmao

Nice😂

hahhaaha epic dude, what a crazy life

lmfao

Best comment so far ….

@@AfricaGeo Thanks 😊

Me to

he wasnt caught in the crosshairs he walked into the crossfire, when u wanna make money fast like that you gotta know the pros and cons.

@@xXKillerCamoXx lol this is true.

It is a great thing you know nothing about drugs. It really is. I’ve lost everything I ever loved because of them. But it makes me happy to know there are people out there that will never know the pain these things cause. I wish you nothing but the best.

White folks speak with forked as native indians found..still so now Any drug smuggler js a criminal so do not try whitewash the white criminal

You say that you have lost everything because of drugs but you or the family that did drugs dint take any responsibility for your or their actions. If someone gives me a gun does that mean that I’m going to use it? No it does? If someone leaves a car running with the key in to does that mean that I’m going to steal it? No it doesn’t. If a blind person drops money on the floor does that mean that I take it and run or do I say excuse me sir you dropped your money.😊

As a non native English speaker I find him really hard to understand

@@KYTHERAOfficial he does have a strong Southern accent

@@nodnoc Made it through anyway, I think I got most of it right in context. Very interesting. Lex is the podcast god right now. Unbelievably enriching stuff. I love him

"Gentleman" Thank you sir, may I have another?

@@KYTHERAOfficial I'm from South Carolina so I understood every word he said LOL

Right? Delivering death.... oops I mean cocaine and doing it for money isn't bad at all right? Undeniable proof! I'm with you, he's a good guy great observation!

@@Saucey65 Dying from cocaine is better than dying in prison for possessing cocaine.

@@deleted01 which wouldn't happen unless you really fucked up. Possession isn't a life sentence. In the case of Roger reaves it was a year for his friend when he got caught trafficking. But wait how did we get off the topic of how drug dealers are good guys? 😂

Read his book.

@@Saucey65 still has more morals than CIA.

Around what year buddy?

Lucky to have such quality entertainment in a seemingly otherwise unfortunate setting lol

Did u used to ride bmx back in the day? Dirt jumps? I remember ur name from mates round 99 early 2000s

Were you a gentleman?

I was in prison with Jason Rapoff in Perth Western Australia. Total doosh

That's the spirit! Lol

Haha, I hate to say it but I Google every book I’m looking for with the word “PDF” after the title and I rarely miss. 😂 I personally believe that authors should all have a donation link on their website so that I can financially support the authors that change my viewpoint or understanding.

LOL

Hahahah

@@CaliforniaCarpenter7 Exactly. Paying up front when you don't know if it's a good book is a problem the publishing industry doesn't want to fix. Offering the majority for free as a sample and having an easy donation link is the best way to combat piracy.

@J W and he faced the consequences of his actions.

@J W only because of a bogus war on drugs

True gem of a podcast. If not the best out there on the internet.

Right! This was so entertaining

Oh hell yeah 👍

I have audible and listened to it. Couldn't pit it down. Glad he narrated his own book. It was well worth the listen

Sold.

Darn that poem that his daughter wrote, 😢

@@rdzt233 which one ?

Why do "they" let the power players corruptions go free? Why do they lose their empathy for power? Roger says he has seen real evil in men. Greed doesn't make you evil. It makes you neglectful, impulsive, and lose ethically in areas; lose yourself unless grounded in moral righteousness.

There are no "innocent" people on this planet The Rogers of this world just see thru the corruption and hypocrisy and take their chances against all odds and..at a price ! Rodger has balls and a great spirit I, for one, respect him

Neither did Roger.

It’s just a shame so few saw that it’s a business that almost always ends badly. So few actually walked away with a load of cash. Happened to the very best of them!

@@briandenny5820 They should all be dead.

He's definitely an amazing man. Such impeccable code of morals and ethics too!

Nope they much would rather keep the propaganda on their platform. Like narcos and everything else on netflix

@Rik Michael So you want to cover up the actual history with lies because you don't like the fact that the government and elites have gotten away with this?

Like Narcos more or less?

drunk history

Dude, you were flying in poison that killed kids. WTF is wrong with you?

I bought the book "Smuggler" on Audible after watching this pod cast. What a story teller! He reads his own book he wrote while spending years in prison. HIGHLY recommended

Yeah, the Clinton connection was cemented by his comment on the Arkansas safe haven.

He is more honest than most politicians

The Clinton's was in the drug smuggling business 100%

He’s a lvl 48 Podcaster

Ding.

Stonks

Beautiful..Heart touching..

😂 man I hope he got your message!

I agree. And thought the same thing watching it. And I've also seen a lot of interviews for the past 3 years.

Then you should say it’s the best interview you’ve ever heard, not the best you have “listened to”. I’m pedantic, so I have to nitpick your grammar.

Legendary A-hole. He was one of the leading players for our drug crisis back then. He really doesn’t seem remorseful about it. Even when he was first arrested he just doubled down. Nothing against you, but a man should be remembered for his actions

Oh she enjoyed that money while he rotted in prison. Make no mistake.

@@Mmmmkaaay She still kept the family together, wrote to him, and was there after all those years. No amount of money would make a woman put up with that. She could have easily taken the money and left him to start a new life but she waited for him. She is a Queen

She was Dutch. Much different than an American Woman.

@@FirstLast-oz6rs Ah yes. Now if only American men could run drugs for millions of dollars and keep us in a lifestyle suitable for the queens that we are. 🙄

Yeh they don't make hoes the way they used to.

You’re one of those redundant guys who is also redundant.

Grand slam

He didn't snitch because he is NOT hard. He was afraid for himself and for his family. And he knew what happened to his friend.

Unsure if hard or smart. He had love and a desire to live. He was put away, but he still has both when the people who snitched met bad endings

How I am only the 15th like is a good representation of how brainwashed america is

You are 100% correct !

So your telling me that 🖤🖤 America not 😭😭 for nothing in America 😑😑

@@ybzo_go the fuck does that even mean ?

There was A LOT of money involved and if you really think he gave all of it up….well I don’t know what to say to you. But don’t think any of that had to do with love

The wife was taken care of, finances and travel 😉

Love will never exist the same way it has in the past

@@bigpotato7804 good point

What a true WIFE, and one AMAZING WOMAN X

Hollywood won’t make a movie of Mr.Reeves he has to much truth and his story won’t match up with another couple movies that have been out a long time because of that truth.

Netflix could just call it Narcos America and show the American Smugglers and the drug distribution in the states...

Best podcast,ever heard,great preface the interviewer,started with.

Narrated by the man himself

Michael Mann (the director) would be great on the team too. He directed the crime/action/thrillers "Heat", "Collateral" & "Miami Vice". He likes to get the story more authentic by involving real players (ex con, special forces, etc) in the production of the movies.

Agreed

Scorsese is past his prime, let someone else have it

Give me a break Jose.... this man did his time, lived a crazy life, and has a cool story to tell... always has to be someone somewhere that finds a problem where there isn't one.

@@userumbleandgettr4freespee501 No - drugs being illicit gave that extra value to Central American producers. You're just carrying weight for DEA, FBI and cops all over America violating the 5th Amendment to disenfranchise PoC. People like YOU - defending monstrous bureaucracies which build a prison state - you are the real assholes. Not people altering their consciousness.

@@milesteg8627 nothing wrong with altering ones consciousness but you left out the addictive part, people that know it is rational to quit but there brains dont let them it is not like it is just a hard choice. Also drugs dont get designed for the most consciousness altering substances that will help you gain insight in life they will brew together poison you will never get off again until you are dead. Maybe it is possible to create a legalized drug industry were a lot of this could change but the current one is people selling addictive poison and designing their substances exactly for that purpose. It is basically impossible to decriminalize smth that is that addictive and it will get only worse the human body isnt a moving target sience gets an ever increasing power over it. Allowing the design and selling of products that try to get the effect but cut down the harm, addictiveness might be a way. People today are weak they cant even stop eating when it clearly harms them a lot sure who is the one that is allowed to force them to stop the answer should be somewhere along the line when their rational self chooses x there should be outer mechanisms that help them to enforce it when their lower instincts kick in - Brain computer interface introduces itself lol. Idk what the solution is but I coul very well imagine a whole society getting destroyed by cheap, ever available drugs, wouldnt be the first time.

I don't see any real reason for this interview other than hype. What's so fascinating about romanticizing drug trade? Lex simply manipulates your perception of his persona by hook you. How primitive.

@@randomvoid2823 the reason is to try and educate people like yourself that think this is romanticising the drug trade when it is actually a more accurate telling of the story. The reason these conversations are important is to show how much damage the war on drugs has and continues to cause. The only manipulation you should focus on has you believing racist war mongers like Richard Nixon and Harry Anslinger. How primitive.
