Episode 368 - Nic Mckinley

[@jayjohnson3732]

Nic is the first person to utter a credible (to me) argument against completely dismantling the FBI.

[@internet_internet]

I’ve been saying the same thing since I first heard the calls for it. Would be a foolish thing to completely dismantle. Reform? Sure. Dismantle? Really bad idea.

Thank you for what you do.

[@TheNicMcKinley]

Thank you for your support!

[@ccrosby1776]

Thank you.

[@donowen5889]

Looks like Andy’s talking to himself.😂

[@ClearedHotPodcast]

I’ve been doing that my entire life. Not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing

[@imm0rtalitypassi0n]

​@ClearedHotPodcast yeah but this time, you guys are twinning, lol.

[@sethgehle]

Andy, next time Nic goes by the studio can you give him one of the extra books I left with you? I think he’d appreciate the story or know someone who could use it.

[@ClearedHotPodcast]

Will do!

[@benjaminfooter6564]

Nic :Bullet we’re getting stuck in the barrels Andy: oh….. that’s not optimal Almost spit out my coffee

[@scootsmcgoots7739]

Andy! Bring Kara on again! Her and Nic are some of my favorite guests of all time

[@TheBvirgilio86]

That might be an interesting conversation. I'm curious about why she felt she had to move on from Deliver Fund and hoping to get a hint here, but I have doubts. Kara is great though.

[@kara_the_huntress]

@@TheBvirgilio86 Hint hint.....a quote from Albert Einstein, "The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life."

[@JonBoyG]

@@kara_the_huntress Are you saying that Nic does not practice what he preaches?

[@m_0863]

I genuinely enjoy hearing guys like this laugh with each other. Laughing with some people requires community and understanding, man. Some people will just call you "crazy" and/or "off". I used to practice taking a 40 lbs. weight vest off after crawling underwater into a well. Lifeguard looked at me like she was going to kick my ass. "Goldfish" stuff, I guess. When you don't own a pool, you have to do it where you can.

[@123miketd]

Love a new cleared hot to start the workweek

[@WiscoMike]

Just going to say thank you for the generally light-hearted, completely pointless, and entertaining content. Given Andy's self-deprecating humor, I expect nothing less. BZ.

[@TheNicMcKinley]

Pointlessness is really the only thing I am good at. Thanks for noticing! 😂

[@k.b.6331]

Andy runs an assassin's guild like its fight club.

[@TheNicMcKinley]

How do I join?! 🥷

[@k.b.6331]

@TheNicMcKinley you have to go to a certain coffee shop and give them the nod

[@lemmyrocker6209]

Hi CHP, ever thought of interviewing - Chase Hughes as this dude is ex navy!!

[@athenamurphy1317]

There are people behind bars because Nic sat at that table and then people like me decided to be a montly donor! Don't think your donation doesn't help. I've donated every month since the first time he was on the show and I still do. PLEASE become a monthly donor if you can, even if it's only $5. They need it and the donors make the work possible!

[@TheNicMcKinley]

Thank you so much for your support. This work is impossible without it!

[@tripplej6053]

Neat helicopter stories.

[@justincredubil]

Bro, air force enlisted rank insignia is the easiest of all of them - you literally just count stripes.

[@TheNicMcKinley]

Right?! Super easy - count the stripes and add one.

[@kf4zfs]

The blue tip 5.56 ammo is short-range training ammo for use in he shoot house. You need a special bolt to make it work.

[@TheNicMcKinley]

This stuff was different, not the blue-bolt UTM rounds. The time I referenced was the one and only time I ever saw it.

[@kf4zfs]

@@TheNicMcKinley They are not UTM rounds. They have a DODIC number. We used them in SFAUC when I was in 20th Group. I think this them. They came with a special bolt that has no locking mechanism. man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/land/m862.htm

Amen Clinics was most likely a Nuclear Medicine scan. The "dye" is a radioactive isotope. Super useful for brain imaging.

[@TheNicMcKinley]

That is my understanding of their process. It was very helpful.

A suppressor silences a little but its primary purpose is supressing the flame giving away your position, a silencer speaks for itself.

[@reverse_meta9264]

do all silencers act as a suppressor as well?

[@Sarge80]

@@reverse_meta9264 Yes it is an acoustic silencer, but act as a supressor aswell.

Sounds like Nic doesn't understand the health insurance world. That is OK, he does better work elsewhere.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

That CEO and I almost quote " I am responsible for every decision made at this company, that is why I get paid the big bucks". If we consider that every preventable death due to a denied claim was on his shoulders ( which he claims responsibility for, that is why he gets paid the big bucks), then he may be the prolific killer in US history. Since the courts weren't going to hold him accountable for his crimes ( which he claims responsibility for, that is why he gets paid the big bucks), and a citizen decided to hold him accountable. Not that I am actually arguing for my argument, I just wanted to point out the fact that he claims to be responsible for every decision but apparently shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of those decisions because he is a CEO. He wanted the job, it isn't like he could have just stayed in accounting or whatever.

[@justincredubil]

It's not a crime to not pay for someone else's medical bills.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

@justincredubil I didn't say it was. I think you missed the point of my entire argument
