Clint Emerson - Inside SEAL Team 6's Spy Unit: Black Squadron (Video)

In this 27 August 2026 published video, host Shawn Ryan talks with Clint Emerson, a retired Navy SEAL who spent more than two decades in Naval Special Warfare, including time with SEAL Team 6. During his career, he specialized in intelligence collection, physical and technical surveillance, and operations against high-value targets in hostile and denied areas around the world. He is also the New York Times bestselling author of 100 Deadly Skills, the founder of Escape the Wolf, and the only Navy SEAL ever inducted into the International Spy Museum.
Some of the key topics discussed included deep operational insights into the Iraq War, covering heavy ambushes and combat from Nasiriyah to Tikrit, a rare, inside look at Advance Force Operations (AFO), advanced physical and digital surveillance, and how specialized units operate undercover using disguises and specialized technical gear, tracking major international targets, including operations related to Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, tracking Osama bin Laden, and countering Somali pirates.
Emerson shares personal details regarding his childhood, navigating military investigations, and his road to healing through alternative treatments like Ibogaine.
