"I Had Two Families To Lie To" Michael & The Former Spy | Jack Barsky

[@Ellie123-i9w]

This was by far one of the BEST "Michael &" interviews yet! Jack Barsky came along way and I appreciate him as a human being alone and god bless that man! I'm glad Michael interviewed him and with a guy like that...his story needed to be heard.

[@vednagarcia2071]

It brought tears to my eyes also ! God bless you Jack Barsky and blessings to Michael for having you & your fascinating story on for all of us.

[@annodomino3935]

Dude this guy’s life should be its own series of spy movies. It’s epic

[@RykerAndersen]

Think this is one of the most interesting interviews I’ve seen so far

[@EmilyB-rf9pm]

I did a Book Report on you, Barsky!!!!!

[@James-cr5mc]

How did you hear about him? You should publish it somewhere I'd love to read it.

[@EmilyB-rf9pm]

@ Oh no it was just for a summer reading project. I say book report, but it was called a multi-genre project. I basically just summarized his life in four different formats

[@EmilyB-rf9pm]

And I found his book at a library in Warner Robins

[@marielleladt3830]

A spy life must be the worst thing there is. I love spy books, John Le Carré is my favorite writer but translating that in reality give me the shivers.

[@sherrydionisio4306]

I love hearing peoples life stories. It was a wonderful conversation! Thank you Jack and Michael.

[@steveguti6452]

[@deeweb24]

1:44:52 This mans whole demeanour has changed, discussing his conversion. Wonderful to hear his testimony of finding Jesus. God Bless you both.

[@xxCablexx]

he had issues with his Mother, and his first wife had issues with her Father, amazing they found each other, amazing interview and stories, I really resonate with "Love conquers all" it reminded me of the first time I've been to Church in a long time, one of the teachings that day was "God is Love", all of this makes me think about God's plan, just truly amazing, I want to read his book

[@nonyab3843]

Oh my God. Quit with all this fake, mushy, worshipping type gushing, comments. It's ridiculous.

[@Margot_est_douce.]

I could watch these videos for hours!

[@top6ear]

I knew someone who was a KGB station chief, the Soviets chose people who were in the top 0.1% , this guy could read you like a book.

[@bmw_m4255]

Me ?

[@alexnemerenco8464]

yeah, sure if you are only one page book, or have Greta Tumberg education.

[@annmiller6144]

Fascinating interview! Thank you.

[@christophersnyder1532]

Happy New Year too everyone, may it be a blessing, sorry for being off topic, but have an exceptional new year, nonetheless!

[@danstancel]

Fantastic interview! Thank you!

[@casualgamer3689]

I think the background is cool but it takes away a little from the characters talking. I focus to much on everything happening around the conversation.

[@grandmajosephine383]

100 percent agree. I'm at the 6 minute mark and I'm going to stop watching. Tvs are too distracting.

[@swampypolitics9574]

Good thing it's an interview where the information is spoken and not shown

[@casualgamer3689]

@swampypolitics9574 ... Funny, but it doesn't matter, visuals can distract so much so you stop processing what is being said.

[@patrickcox8990]

So stop watching... ​@@casualgamer3689

[@casualgamer3689]

@swampypolitics9574 Ah, the classic 'if you don’t like it, leave' argument. Bold... I could just stop watching - kind of like you could stop commenting if you don’t have anything meaningful to add. But here we both are, contributing our thoughts. Difference is, mine actually have a point. I was providing constructive feedback about the video, specifically pointing out how the distracting visuals make it harder to focus on the conversation-something at least one other person has also mentioned. Feedback like this is valuable because it helps creators understand how their choices impact viewers' experiences and offers insight for improving future content.

[@slayermill8621]

Plot twist, he still works with the KGB. That would be the ultimate undercover work.

[@John-i2i6b]

Plot twist again....he has been the one making the decisions for Joe Biden.😂

[@ruicarvalho1662]

One of the best interviews brother Michael 🙏 Very interesting stories

[@colinfrederick9033]

no dynamic backgrounds please! The conversation is stimulating enough and can do without distraction!

[@orphanedhanyou]

I don't mind the background

[@nonyab3843]

@colinfrederick9033 Don't order other ppl around.

[@bnorris8625]

One of my favourites of these interviews

[@karliw2218]

Michael, thank you for a most relevant and timely interview. Truth is so much more than fiction. God Bless you both🙏🕊 What a Spiritual gift you have given us

[@steveguti6452]

May you be blessed with the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ praise God praying for everyone Everyday God bless you all....

[@DragonRiderElf]

It is insane to me how many of y’all are so immensely disrespectful. This man has lived A LOT of life, and you guys are writing him off as borderline senile. He has certainly lived longer than me, and he has likely lived longer than you as well. Just because he is aging doesn’t mean he should be disrespected. He has an incredible story! Thank you to all of the people that agree with that! To the people that are being rude, you’re gonna age eventually. If you can’t respect this man, what makes you think anyone will respect you?

[@nonyab3843]

@DragonRiderElf GOOD FOR YOU. The majority of ppl born after GenX are obsessed with the senile and associate it with ALL OLDER PEOPLE. Bc they are one of the flowing or several . A kid Too dumbed down to know the difference between senility, actually Alzheimer's (Biden since he B4 he moved to the Big House) someone who is having bouts of aphasia (Mitch McConnell, due to shots I'm sure) , etc. They have misappropriated many words and stomped on it till the word is no longer damn useful. Just bc someone is older does not = senility. I hope I'm dead before these type of ppl commenting stupid stuff get to be in charge of anything.

[@HiroForever]

I am totally tripping out, this man actually lived the real life version of the TV show the Americans. And if you haven’t seen the series, the Americans, you must go watch it

[@JakeWedmore-z1l]

The Americans is a very fictional perspective of the situation. Illegals would not under any circumstance do "wet work" that could attract attention to them.

[@mimikannisto4418]

I was in the middle of watching this and told my roommate exactly that.

[@HiroForever]

@@JakeWedmore-z1lregardless. Much of what this real life retired KGB agent says here is actually IN The Americans. It’s actually a great show. My dad did 23 years in the Army, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. He said MASH wasn’t believable. It was still a great show. WTF do you know? Nothing. Apparently.

[@astraldog3359]

[@matildarei]

Awesome interview, as always. Thanks to you both. 💕

[@SpanishwithNeena]

So interesting...I rarely listen to something this long, but it was excellent.

[@Toc1155]

Wow I love these interviews so much

[@whitneyr4296]

I feel like this interview would leave Candace Owens with lots more questions. He needs to go on her podcast next. This is right up her alley. I get why she likes Michael Knowles. lol

[@nonyab3843]

Candace is far from perfect.. Don't worship humans.

[@betheva5917]

We were in Russia in the 90’s. A cruise. Got a side tour with a Russian tour guide. ‘Behind the scenes’ Russia. It included a tour of a staged Russian market, a subway ride, a borscht and vodka lunch with balalaika and got robbed at open air market. But when I asked the tour guide how he got such perfect American English he said, ‘from watching American tv’. 🤣. I knew a great lady who worked in a retail store for 20 years here from Russia. She had an accent you could cut with a knife.

[@Ksiguwntj]

I looooove these interviews!!

[@anne-mariefirmin4387]

I'm amazed at his courage speaking about this so openly. It's not exactly safe, historically speaking. I do hope he stays safe.

[@nonyab3843]

Why would the KGB kill him?

[@anne-mariefirmin4387]

@ Well the story of Alexander Litvineko and Sergei Skeipal were even denounced by the UK govt, to name but a couple

[@joshuahaydon5312]

I know he is getting older, but how did y’all bag a Michael Keaton interview?

[@nonyab3843]

Be quiet

[@RallyTheTally]

Where do they find all these interesting quests?

[@crystalkathuria4381]

Reminds me of my German decent grandfather, God rest his soul.

[@joshuasimonsen1114]

[@loribernardo2909]

Great story.

[@ericf5978]

Try reading GK Chesterton. To argue with Chesterton is to lose.

[@RichGurska]

I would love for you to have asked him how he would react if one of the real Jack Barsky's family members had found him and confronted him, even to this day.

[@JakeWedmore-z1l]

When Jack served as a subject matter expert for the FBI, the FBI got the blessing of the real family of the late Jake Barsky. The real jack Barsky family approved.

[@nonyab3843]

How do you know or why do you think that name isn't mad up? Assumption

[@kimbers1238]

I'm not to the end yet and I'm happy he loved his daughter enough to get out. But what about his other kids? They have no value?

[@mimikannisto4418]

He sent his money back to them and kept in touch. He also said that breaking his promise to their mother was his biggest regret. Their mother didn't want him involved because he broke his promise.

[@reformedgarbage5415]

Fascinating. But I wouldve liked to hear more about when he got caught and the aftermath there with the FBI.

[@valeriya105]

My grandfather was KGB. And his name was Nikolai… he died before I was born and I want to know more info about him

[@RumSpence]

Paperclip, Ultra, and Mockingbird are far more active and intertwined than ever...is just a theory of mine that I have zero evidence of confirmation and I thoroughly enjoy living and my life in general. But if you think about it....

[@swampypolitics9574]

100%

[@ruatgr2]

The video playing behind the guest is very disconcerting and distracting. Please don’t use that format in the future. Thank you!

[@nonyab3843]

Stop, world doesn't revolve around YOU, put your device down and listen. I had saw something flickering, but then. I started listening and that receded into th background.. Danggg

[@ruatgr2]

@ Yes, exactly, ‘stop’ is what I asked them politely to do. Thanks so much for agreeing that the flickering is distracting. I appreciate you.

[@melissadraper7560]

The static TV in the background hurts my eyes and is distracting. I couldn't watch, had to listen.

[@Angie-dx4dd]

WOW, what an interesting, and a little scary, episode.The things we do now know.

[@KoLecnac]

I’d watch this biopic

[@shaz30867]

Another example of how God works all things together for the good. He made so many bad choices but on balance it appears more positive than negative has been made from these choices. He came to faith and lives in a free country though at the cost of his wife and son in Germany. He was with a woman who also shouldn’t have been in the US and was not mentally stable but he has 2 children from that relationship. Seems his first wife is who he owes much and I am most sorry for the son from this marriage. I pray she has a good life and his son is also successful and has a family he loves. I pray they both have found faith , his first wife, his only true wife needs to forgive the evil he has done, I pray she does.

[@Brandon-os6nn]

Awsome, interview my mind about melted, tho when the former german kgb agent said, 😂"we Americans need to be more like Israel." This dude is fun.

[@GeorgeBoreas]

[@LaughingCedar]

Look for old interviews from the 80’s (?) of Yuri Bezmenov.

[@JakeWedmore-z1l]

Jack Barsky proclaims that Bezmenov was NOT in fact KGB.

[@LaughingCedar]

@@JakeWedmore-z1l When did Jack start talking about it though?

[@Crashbangable]

Please stop the previews your audience is smarter that. Edit I listened to the fist hour and then started watching the video. Did you force him to ignore the brainwash screens or add those in post production either way it’s distracting. I can’t watch this crap. I’ll listen to the rest.

[@swampypolitics9574]

Clearly green screen

[@AperioNortheast]

Michael, DUMP the colostrum ad…please. Not helping your image.

[@cabbagereviews8513]

Did you guys vet this guy’s story? This sounds a lot more like LeCarre than irl. I’ve been around a little, enough to believe this guy has told this story till it started paying off. Here’s the key…he’s still alive AND he’s telling this story… I call bs

[@swampypolitics9574]

[@ascari6460]

@@RussianSuperMan43rdbrigade So, in other words, you have no idea because you don’t have inside information, you’re entirely speculating and just hate the daily wire.

[@RussianSuperMan43rdbrigade]

@ascari6460 in fact I Am pro Ben Shapiro when he talks about America and what's in America's best interest. Just not when he talks about Israel and my issue in beef with over the Cannabis Owens and now the firing of Brett Cooper. I and many others feel that Ben Shapiro should not be giving an analysis on Israel as a report considering the fact that he is biased and prejudiced in the matter. A true person that reports the news accurately is unbiased in their report and simply gives us both sides. Also for the fact that the daily wire price itself on American values of freedom of speech it seems odd to me that they would put ndas in there contracts not allowing people to speak freely.

[@RussianSuperMan43rdbrigade]

@ascari6460 I've also noticed that quite a lot of biases as well such as Ben Shapiro gets free healthcare in Israel but somehow does not want Americans getting free healthcare . I also find it odd how every Israelite has to fight in a war if called upon and they have to be trained as soldiers but Ben Shapiro being an American but also claiming to be of Israel descent does not have to fight in the war because he's considered American. That's why many people call him is a draft dodger. He wants the benefits of having free healthcare of Israel and being able to flee their from America but not have to register for the draft.
