What an amazing episode! and what an amazing person Mr. Taylor is. As someone who's worked in the automotive industry for 25 years (10 of those years with a Japanese car maker at the U.S. HQ), I've followed the Carlos Ghosn story closely. Simple fact is, the Japanese (Nissan) didn't want be ruled over by Renault (and foreigners) in their alliance, so they colluded with the Japanese government to get rid of Mr. Ghosn (the man who saved Nissan from impending doom). The entire story highlights how backwards the Japanese legal system and corporate culture are (still based in the feudal era). And Nissan has been at it again, do a search on Ashwani Gupta, and Ravinder Passi. Both former Nissan execs who Nissan had conducted surveillance on (camera's outside of their houses) to build cases to fire them.
All affordable Nissan are junk like Sentra Altima and the maxima that follows right over to infinity unless you know something I don’t. The ccv transmission never make it over 100k the motors do but after you dump a ton of money in them.
@@petersobik2162 they’re not doing too well, which is why they’re pulling these desperate moves. S&P cut Nissan’s credit rating to junk a few months ago.
@@mms2004 definitely in bad shape
@mms2004 What you say is 100% accurate. I'm a lawyer in Japan and have been here for 27 years. They lied, bullied and cheated, like they always do against non-Japanese foreigners when they no longer serve the purpose.
Mike Taylor you are a true soldier... You did what you though was your duty. You valour sparks the same in the hearts of million others. 🎖🎖🎖🎺🎺🎺 these medals and bugle are in your honour.
please keep us updated on Ghosn's case. or do interview with him
Very interesting interview! Thank you for hosting Mike!
As a GWOT guy, I really appreciate listening to the Cold Warriors tell their stories. I don't think they get enough respect for holding the line the way they did.
At this point these stories are 100x more interesting than any GWOT story. As another GWOT vet I think we've covered it enough as this point. Would rather hear what the guys in the 80s and 90s were doing .
The allure I think is the lessons learned for the future. They have a contrast to our lived experience, we have only to learn from what we know not.
Welcome home, Marine!
1980’s Infantry grunt life was filled with barracks/room inspections, piss tests, starched jungle fatigues & spit shined boots. We were rich twice a month- the 1st and 15th; broke and hungover by the 2nd and 16th.
Where did you serve good brother? Are you a veteran?
“Marines aren’t nice.”
True story from a badass!👍👍🇺🇸
Excellent information! Thank you Mr. Taylor for your service and Team House guys for all the work you do as well! 🇺🇸
Fascinating guy, great interview.. This dude has lived multiple lives, and some of these individual incidents would make for awesome movies on their own. Thanks for yet another solid episode, guys...
Great episode, great stories 👍
He starts talking about the Carlos escape at 1 hour and 17 minutes
Ok after half of the video now the theme . Interesting reportage !
As an Army vet I have to say this is one badass man!!! If you ever make it to Thailand I'd love to buy you a drink or 15! I am so sorry for how you've been treated after serving your country for so long. I love this country, I just don't like it at the moment!
Simp
Great Exclusive! @The Team House
Skip to 1:18:15 for the reason you came to this video.
Thanks
Thanks
Excellent podcast ,a man's man .
Just unreal. Great interview.
Super interesting stories. Crazy. Cheers lad's.
Mike is an apex operator. Such an incredible story.
You're right that WP grad should be shunned...what a scumbag. Shame on Japan and our own government as well. Guys like Mike get thrown to the wolves all the time and it's pathetic honestly. There is little to no honor in serving.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen W. Hassink and Lauren A. Graber of the Criminal Division are prosecuting the case.
this is the first Team House I've seen. Sigh, now I gotta watch the other 200. Just hoping that the others are a little shorter. Best thing I've seen this year. Thankyou
Get busy!
8🎉u🎉 in
I would have stay in Lebano with Gosht and LIVE HAPPY FOREVER!
what a savage, real inspiration
My jaw's on the floor with this one lads ,holy s***!.........I'm buying this man's water AND his book.
What did the captain of the plane said about having 1 non register passenger on board? was he involved in the operation? any problem for him? was he compensated for his silence?
what a man..... it's historic
One word, HERO
Best guest you guys have had in months.
Great episode
1:17:15 Smuggling Carlos Ghosn
Smart Mike Taylor
here is the summary: Carlos is an unlucky guy who spread his bad luck to everyone associated with him. I feel bad for Taylor. a good man not appreciated by Carlos who is greedy and ungrateful. Look at all those who got close to him. Jailed.
stay away from Carlos. He aint any good. How is a guy like that that amassed nearly 800 million dollars in this working career.
Taylor is a good man. A man with spine people can count on. Few men are like him now.
Let’s remember that America refused to extradite the wife of the CIA officer who had diplomatic immunity back to England after she drove drunk the wrong way on a roundabout and killed some young man.
Seems imbalanced!!!!!!
Key term there is diplomatic immunity.
Murder is murder
Diplomatic immunity which they can revoke without trouble. I agree with the other comment, murder is murder.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen W. Hassink and Lauren A. Graber of the Criminal Division prosecuted it....
Oh it’s balanced!
This guy's the real life Equalizer 😅
I was a Victim of Nigeria's Drug dealers while being on a business trip. My German Embassy was of no help in Japan....
All together I spent 6 years & 2 month in 3 Japanese Jail's...
In Toshigi Woman Jail (approximately 150 km from the Fukushima's Nuclear Plant) There were 14 different Women from Countries such as USA, Swedish, Austrian, Columbia, 3 African Nationals, 1 British woman, and 5 other European Women. At that jail, there were 10 Factory's
where we were forced into Labor, along with Japanese Woman for 8 - 12$ / a month. However we only could leave our single tiny cell to go to work...
There was a daily physical exercise outside...and about 10 minutes we could talk to other foreigners or young Asian women speaking English. And after 1 year I was able to talk to Japanese women as well..
We all imported a drug called METHAMPHETAMINE,
a drug that the Japanese invented in the year 1897.....
At that time in the year
2013. - the "white paper" of the Japanese Police stated that 30.000 kg of that drug is entering Japan...
Amazing, how can the Japanese people lost the chemical formular...? The police
told me, that a lot of workers take that drug.
We had alone 12 Thai women, & 8 Mexican women. What a bullshit.....and 😢😢😢
A very sad situation for
us. In the year 1986 I was already on a
Business trip in Japan. At that time the drug preferred was Cocaine 😮😮😮😮😮😮 25:14
Very sad story of you. I hope you have recovered well from that trauma 🙏
First Attorney's I'd Steer Clear Of Are Those Representing The Criminals And Son Running This Wreck.....
Wow. Incredible
Maybe there is a presumption of guilt in Japan and they have 99% conviction rate, but in the US federal system there is pretty much the same. Even though, officially there is a presumption of innocence, in fact there is a presumption of guilt until you prove yourself innocent and sometimes that's not enough. The rate of conviction in American federal court is 95%.
Jov.
@@CZcamsOdyssey "11"
Amen to that brother. DOJ prosecutors are some of the most corrupt people on earth. Sydney Powell wrote a book about them. They couldn’t give two shits if your innocent or not. They hide exculpatory evidence that would free an innocent man, and instead of them( the prosecutor) going to jail if they get caught, the courts say, oh, don’t do that again! Total bullshit!
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen W. Hassink and Lauren A. Graber of the Criminal Division prosecuted it.
@@madscientist-jm9mn in that case I’m not a fan of those prosecutors. Then again where was the judge and possibly a jury? The system is screwed up.
Everyone's talking now
Not going to Japan ever again.
Me too !
Michael is full of epic history, thank you for having him on. You guys asked him all of the questions I would have asked and more. PLEASE fix your audio though. The sound in your interviews is fucking awful: boomy, muffled, and poor volume control. I have to turn it up to hear what your saying because the treble is muffled, but then Jack says something loud and it clips my speakers. Come on guys, your interviews are too valuable to be smothered like this!
That's on your end man
@@TheTeamHousePodcast I am afraid it is not, in the past episodes the treble has been cut off to a degree that even I - someone who prefers low-treble - finds jarring.
Sounding good on my end.
im buying a case. cant wait for the movie.
THIS GUY !!
I would never guess that he would be arrested by the Japanese
Imagine holding the line in the day. Losing men for a few feet of advance. Brutal
Aaaahhhlllright...this one I gotta hear
after all heroes exist ;)
This guy has to be the baddest bad ass to ever walk this Earth. And I’m lucky enough to be close friends with his own son. What an absolute beast of a guy
It would be awesome to have Ghosn in the comments thanking Mike!😂😂😂
Money
SADMs (58 lbs unit by it self) and MADMs.
This was the absolute best guest I have ever heard on any podcast. Sincere, articulate and his rescue of Ghosen alone would make an epic block buster. Joe Rogan should have him on his podcast. What a shame how the US government, (Trump and Pompeo) traded this American hero for their own personal gain. And it damn well was for their personal gain as Japan pays many American politicians. Where was his State Senators Warren and Markey? They must be receiving campaign funds from the Japanese as well. This guy should have a full and ceremonial apology in the White House. He is a American Hero and it's good to see someone stand up for principal as he did.
Interesting interview for a non American but just German .
1 hour 18 minutes in the Ghosn story starts. You are welcome
Thank you
Thx
I will purchase this guys product. After hearing this, its the very least i could do....
What an absolutely incredible and compelling story. Outrageous!! A warrior who has done so much for his country was betrayed. The US Gov’t owes him a written apology. Jack, I hope you submit a FOIA request for Pompeo and other senior state and DOJ officials documents related to Mike Taylor. The betrayal is in an email somewhere. Clear cut case of wrongdoing. He is an incredibly resilient guy for how he endured in Japan. A sad courageous tale.
2:06:02 after watching full interview I’m also deeply angry!
Gotta love how our country treats heros like this
Its not just the american govt man, you ever been to any other countries?
You mention Human Rights vs. Political Expedience. That is called Realpolitik.
"Bail jumping in Japan is not a crime"
I don't know Japanese law, but I have questions Mike 😂
In reality in japan it can get quite serious especially for what that nissan ceo did.
Question?
FUCKING LEGEND. AWESOME...THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN MORE....THIS MAN SAT ON NUKES AND JUMP OUT OF PLANES .HALO . KIDNAPPINGS. TERRORISM. MAKE A MOVIE. WRITE A BOOK.
Okay so there is a documentary coming out on Apple TV on Friday August 25th, and I saw snippets of what Michael Taylor is saying about money and Carlos Ghosn (not good things). In this Interview he denies getting paid and he did not say anything negative about him. He actually met up with CG in Lebanon just recently (According to CG in a recent interview). So I wonder if the documentary coming out is just for show and publicity and $$$$
Well the truth is exposed, you are mistaking because Michael Taylor did not say he didn't get paid, he clearly said he has paid out of pocket $842,000 which he has not been reimbursed for yet and he still owes much more in legal fees. Carlos is responsible for those fees as it's his life that was saved and his word of honor that said he would pay it. Simply ask Carlos is he has reimbursed all of Michael Taylors out of pocket legal expenses. It's a simple question, ask him.
BTW, what interview did Carlos say he recently meet up with Michael Taylor? Is this one of the interviews where Carlos said the plan was his idea and he was the mastermind behind it as he falsely said several times. In the Apple TV film when he answered the questions about getting money back from Oman and about his yacht, it's crystal clear now that he has a problem with the truth.
@@markwilson6818 No. It was a recent interview with Forbes. Maybe 2 months old, you can find it here on CZcams. I made the comment before I watched the documentary on Apple TV. I came to a conclusion that they are both lying and not telling the entire truth. MT definitely got something and he did not completely throw CG under the bus. I think the Documentary is just for propaganda and $$$ for both.
1:17:14
Fuck this is awesome
1:20:00
Robots are killed every day HERE THEY JUMP LIKE RABBITS OVER EACH OTHER..
I think he did it for the money
Thru the years , I have followed the takeover of Nissan by the Renault group ( ghosn was Renault ceo). He was also a great car exec who saved Renault . And of course the Nissan kiretsu could not stand to have a westerner running their Japanese company & partners from France. So they architected a way to take away his power. I doubt anything would have happened to him if ghosn had taken a nice payout and ceded power to the Japanese during the merger.
I have now listing have of the interestimg but concerning the title concerning the Ghosn case still no information. Telling your biografy because you are important for talking arabi c is nice but change the title of this video .I was interested in the case Ghosn. Are are talking about quite other stuff!
I love the interview but that idiot saying America keeps people in Guantanamo bay because their country violates their rights and we don't want to send them back and have their rights violated was so stupid I almost pissed my pants.
Looks Like Balvenie being served
Cannot wait for Jack to come out, and embrace being Gay. Everyone here will support you, no matter what.
TY
Awe so sweet that U have a crush on him 🥰❤️
Ist there any concern to your Matter of being gay concerning this Interview ?
WOW
Polys are bs. Even if it isn’t, volunteering for a poly can be a bluff.
gotta love how the govt goes after its own citizens. IGs and prosecutors are not your friend.
This was fascinating! Mr Taylor needs a wheel barrel to carry his balls.
Wished I knew how he coped with his son being incarcerated at the same time.
Liberate the Oppressed. What a joke, as this country has failed.
AIRBORNE!
Support to the UTMOST???
Is that realistic ?? How can united states of America extracting their citizens ??????? Can somebody explain it to me
😍😍
I still can’t believe that the Carlos Ghosn escape from 24/7 surveillance in Tokyo, dense CCTV coverage, travelling by taxi and train happened without some form of at least a wink and a nod t some level from the Japanese state authorities
He smuggled out a crook.
Got any proof? it seems to me Ghosn became a victim of Japan's “Hostage Justice” System, that has a 99.8 percent conviction rate
Trump has NO chance 😳😳
No chance does he even run.
Dude! you are married to a Lebanese. If you got there in '82 '83 that is not 17 years of civil war. The civil war started in 1975. Do the Math. Your timeline is off. I am at 15:23, will definitely come back and comment further.
Chick, I believe he said there was 17 years of civil war in Lebanon.
@@markwilson6818 "Chick"? very classy of you! And this is what I typed up above (can you read?). re-read my comment, do some Math if you are good at it, and maybe you will understand what I typed.
You addressed me as "Dude" so you get addressed as Chick. That's what happens when you use trash slang. @@patricias.6977
As I understand it the Lebanese Civil War started in 1975 and ended in 1990; 15 years. He said "and again that was the result of, how many years of war at that time? Ended up having about 17 years of war"
I'm not seeing your issue with his statement
Hey, I like this show. It's freaking awesome.
Still, I'm sorry, but this guy sounds like a cry baby to me.
Again, I have been watching this show for years.
... but, you can't like em all, I guess.
Persistence is key
Sounds like he is stating facts to me.
Havnt the faintest idea where you got that impression. I’m sure your background is pretty weak
Come on now, this guy got paid over a million dollars in bitcoin for his “rescue” mission. He should have asked for more, oh sorry I forgot he didn’t ask for one dollar, give me a break!
It's true he didn't ask for even one dollar , he said he would wait until they were both home and this is confirmed by other sources.
He is not completely honest with his story and neither is Ghosn. Just watch a recent interview Ghosn did with Forbes and snippets from an Apple TV documentary coming out on Friday. Michael Taylor is talking about $$$ and he wasn't as kind talking about Ghosn as he was here. Also Ghosn was adamant in every interview that his wife was not involved and never communicated with Taylor and had no idea about the escape plan (it was a complete surprise). Here, Taylor mentions that he met and talked with the wife prior to the escape. A lot of inconsistencies.
What do you want, an audited financial statement of his expenses and compensation? How naive can you be? Also doesn't make any sense to put "rescue" in scare quotes when he literally rescued Ghosn from what would have been a defacto life sentence in Japan, whether you agree with what he did or not.
He is just a convicted criminal.
he will pay the price
At 100% profit 😂 just shoot straight that’s all anybody cares about great pod👍🏻
