Fred Burton: Protective Security Specialist & Author - Danger Close with Jack Carr

[@cagilber]

It’s amazing how so many of these stories from agents, SEALS, Etc. Rely on just starting your career and being in the “right place at the right time”. Going back to Mr. Burton being assigned right out of agent training. Really makes a point for applying yourself to every available opportunity and putting yourself in the right place at the right time which could put you on quite the adventure in life.

I was fortunate enough to get access to and begin following Fred Burton's work about 20 years ago. He gave us a look into areas and ideas that were otherwise closed to us, particularly concerning Mexico.

[@aliciajayephillips8274]

I Look forward to your podcasts Danger Close every week.

Awesome podcast! I was a contractor for DSS. I had no idea that Admiral Inman was still alive. That is great. We still have a lot of "Inman" embassies around the world.

[@JD-HatCreekCattleCo]

Small world. I was in the second Inman class hired by DSS. At the time we were DOS/SY (Department of State/Office of Security), and yes my interview experience was the same I really didn’t think I passed LOL. Yep BSR was awesome and the immortal “firearms instructor”. I was one of the trainers for Fred’s class and was on the Schultz protective detail. My wife and I collect antiques and Fred and I reconnected when an antique we purchased was the property of a former murder suspect, that Fred had investigated. Like Fred I grew up in the DC area, volunteered at a local Fire department/rescue squad, and was a Baltimore Police officer prior to starting as a DSS agent. As a retired fed I have returned to my roots and work as a Paramedic. Cool interview! Thanks

[@MO-cw8bg]

Excellent interview and a treasure trove of information. Thank God we have men like Fred that care enough to protect the United States.

[@garretdozier9596]

Very informative. Sounds like we need more of the Fred Burtons in the world.

[@chris2956]

It's possible that we do. Someone had to fill Fred's position each time he left for a new job. I hope those guys were paying attention.

[@jilllathers9215]

Can’t wait for more Fred. Loved Ric too. Going after Black Ops. Have all of Fred’s thx to you Jack. Blessings to you and yours. Yes, we need heros ….and that they’re people/human too……..something to aspire to….to grow toward…whatever path one is on. Thanks for all you do. ♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@davelaubscher8578]

I dig your stuff Jack! Great podcasts and books! I have the new one on pre-order and am looking forward to receiving it later this mo. Thank you for the service you have and still provide.

[@ShinobiHOG]

Whoa, been a fan of Fred for like a decade now. He's thrown out some great information on resources over the years......

[@richardwoolard9804]

Thank you for spotlighting the DSS

[@LeadDispenser]

Incredibly interesting. Well done. Glad to hear a book 5 and 6!

[@CFairNH]

What a terrific interview with a super Interesting Man. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work on the podcast.

[@chrissheffield5468]

DSS is one of the most underrated elements out there. If you are CI, you need to read their products.

[@SilasBLAC]

There is no better intro to your podcast!! #LoVeIT

[@jilllathers9215]

This was spectacular!! You, guys. The humility. The unfathomable magnitude of the gifts you both have given. I have all 4 if Fred’s books. Working on Ghost along with a host of others. (College style.) I love your books! 🙌🏼 can’t wait for Devils Hand. 13th. Yay Thank you with all my heart. Love to you and yours and the teams. ❤️🇺🇸. (Apple has the US flag about in the emoji’s Go figure.)

[@alphadog62]

Doing a great job Jack..

[@melanieweiss75]

Jack, I truly enjoy your podcast. I have grabbed onto this one - something about Fred, his experience, wisdom and intelligence. Ghost was great. I have struggled to find credible info on Benghazi - I am 1/2 way through Under Fire, LEARNING. Chasing Shadows and Beirut Rules to follow. And today Audible suggested “The Ontic Protective Intelligence” Podcast by Fred Burton. 😊 Thank you and looking forward to The Terminal List series. ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️

[@paultaegel5641]

Fascinating interview. Will check out his books.

[@maltedttt6826]

Take a shot every time Fred says „Jack“ 😁

[@gregp558]

Very interesting and entertaining! Fred Burton when with STRATFOR kept a close eye and provided commentary on my mail bomber case known as “The Bishop”. Would make a great book/movie.

[@bobbioook5612]

Really cool podcast very enjoyable thanks to both of you, jack l thank you were meant to say Ted Kopel of abc nightline he was the host of the show that went on every night during the during Iranian hostage time frame

[@martinp1544]

[@risom301]

Ghost is a great book. You won't be disappointed.

[@maxcullen3427]

[@5trutta]

Fascinating History! I imagine this is background for Devil’s Hand. 😎

[@mbigatti]

Great podcast, thank you!

[@seanwhite304]

This dude is awesome bro. I live in couple miles from Summit Point Wv . So pretty cool to here that .

[@martinli88guitars]

Excellent!

[@Bill737190]

Great job, both.

[@bendavis855]

Something I think would be an interesting topic for of conversation with Fred and any other authors would be their dealings with government review of their books.

[@Tacteyecool]

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy 😂

[@5trutta]

I think that’s just Jack’s nature. Those are the tiger’s stripes.

[@seppshlllearningcenter419]

How does Fred feel about the FBI always being involved before events and other agencies cleaning up their mess before they come in an cover it up???

[@yogi1kenobi]

Great

[@jopattix]

Have you thought of getting author /former Navy Seal Justin Sheffied (Texas) who wrote "MOB VI"?

[@1976dtc]

I think they just stopped using BSR. I was there in 2017.

[@kevinnunya9714]

I never understood Fred carrying a little book with names of bad boys (likely a classified item) and crossing names off the list as these folks were being taken out of play. Since I know Fred as I am a retried Senior DS Agent, I knew and was in the room with many very bad boys in my 29 year career and never knew anyone other than Fred who claimed they carried some little black book around. In fact if I had one of my Agents keep a book like this, I would take it from him/her as soon as I knew about some terrorist book. Huge operational security issue and frankly dumb to do.

[@d.j.9961]

I always wanted to join DSS!!!!

[@keithmurphy4044]

[@chris2956]

Clint is a great trainer but if you really want to learn how to run a wheel gun, you need to hook up with Jerry Miculek.

[@austinjones9970]

i love the intro so rad

[@user-hd1bn1gu2q]

What an interesting time. Back when most Feds were good dudes still figuring stuff out. ATF, DSS, DEA, the old Gaurd of cowboys were mostly trustworthy and Patriots. Now…not so much.
