I enjoy a lot of his interviews with guys from the teams and other military personnel. He’s had some other good interviews too, but I avoid all his interviews with politicians.

His PR stunt for Gavin showed me he was a fake.

Long post, but whole background of Sean Palmisano.

...

Palmisano was a former Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, Blackwater Contractor, supposed drug kingpin in Columbia, firearms instructor, and early tactical GWOT dude YT channel guy.

He was sued by Taran Tactical in 2019 after allegedly breaching contract for training Keanu Reaves for John Wick 3. He also said he was not a fan of Reaves and barely ever addressed the Wick situation.

His early YT stuff was all tactical gun instruction and reviews and survival stuff, then he started doing a lot of high quality military dude stuff that was actually pretty entertaining. Marcus Luttrell (also a govmt fraud), Rob Oneill (quite possibly another govmt cutout), and others doing campfire stories, military bro spec ops disucsisons, and some very basic tactical content.

Sean's 36-yd Zero and home defense weapon videos are still up and have millions of views. His tactical content was actually very good and his personality was very dry, no bullshite, yet informal.

Videos about painting your rifles, zeroing rifles, room clearing, etc. Did stuff with Mike Glover and others. Even had a Patreon where he moved all his old tactical instruction videos off YT and put them behind a pay wall.

In Patreon, he had a couple thousand members at the beginning. This is Covid era stuff so very engaging at the time. Mindset, survival, tactics, farming, BTS video, all of it. Very good. Very straight forward.

He still had quite a few YT videos and they got decent views. 100K plus on many of them.

Shortly after that, he began a sitdown military interview podcast type talk show. His goal was to get on Netflix with the show. All his early stuff was 4+ hr, 'walk me through your life' stuff with Spec Ops guys. Actually a big boom at that time.

His video production value was always top notch though. Once his trailers started looking like Hollywood productions, that's when he started getting 1M+ views and subs.

He's one of the shittiest interviewers there is, yet his guests were very high level. Big red flag. Lots of sizzle not that much steak.

For years, ball knowers have accused him of being a plant. Guys like Mike Ritkland got 30K views and Sean got 600K-1M. And many of the interview subjects were the same.

The Leah escapade has just finally put all of this into the forefront of Twitter drama.

Tucker is likely a CIA plant, too, so is Alex Jones.

If you know that going in, then wtvah whatever you like. Tucker and Alex are extremely entertaining but also prob on the same payroll as Palmisano.

He's a content creator. The episode did well.

What is he "fake" about, exactly?

You can't only have MAGA/Republican guests on a major podcast

I’ve never listened to the guy. I thought he and Shawn Strickland were the same guy, like I thought P Diddy and Kanye were, lol.

Jake, I’m putting you in charge of FL Tech.

Kind of like a big brother program. Please mentor him to become a well respected and liked poster.

His heart is in the right place.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

I wonder if her husband is running his dojo?

Bayou Billionaires was the name?

This was always my take 99. I always thought he was unintelligent and asked stupid follow up questions.

I guess that makes him the perfect tool for the propagandists.

Not real familiar with the guy, but it appears that the right has turned on this guy big time because he didn't air an interview? Seems like a low bar to set.

I'm guessing he spoke out against Israeli influence in America?
