It is safe to say that I have wandered a bit. I served in the military, flew some jets, jumped out of most, climbed mountains (I jumped off of them too), taught fitness, owned a gym, and have spent the last few years speaking to organizations and leaders. It has been a journey, and in all honesty, I have no idea where it is going. I seek the things that make me uncomfortable. I move towards things... more

  • Video-driven show is hard to listen to

    I listen to podcasts while I do other things —exercise, walks, gardening and cooking and almost all of them are primarily audio driven The series on Robert’s ridge is so linked to the videos that they are showing that it is almost impossible to track via audio only. I will need to sit at my computer for 9+ hours to fully understand all that is being presented and that is a hard ask

  • Dr Miller WTF

    First off great show and I appreciate you looking for perspectives from everyone. Now Dr. Miller, not a lot of proof in the pudding. One as a former USAF Officer with a background in Nuclear War, the idea of just using a nuclear weapon without understanding the consequences of the second and third effects is crazy. Also I found it hilarious that he automatically went on the defense about his career. No doubt a smart man but I’m sure as hell not following him into combat. Thanks for your show. ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Watch List That Never Caught a Terrorist | Sonya LaBosco & David Londo | Ep. 481
Q: What would it actually look like to secure the U.S. air infrastructure in a perfect world?
Londo recommends moving the air marshal program into a federal law enforcement agency such as Homeland Security Investigations, restoring demanding training standards, and using defined intelligence criteria and probable cause or reasonable suspicion for watchlists.
The Watch List That Never Caught a Terrorist | Sonya LaBosco & David Londo | Ep. 481
Q: How did the kernel of an idea for a program like Quiet Skies even start, and how did it build into something operational?
Londo says it began after the underwear bomber incident, around 2012, as enhanced screening. In 2018, after an inspector general report questioned the Air Marshal Service's budget, TSA expanded the program to include surveillance reports by air marshals.
Torture, Gitmo, and the 9/11 Case That Won't End | Jessica Trant & Frank Pellegrino | Ep. 480
Q: What in a perfect world, if you could go back in time, could have been done or not done, that would have rapidly accelerated this process and not drug it out 20 years?
Pellegrino says the case might have proceeded more quickly in federal court, but the decision to use CIA detention and interrogation methods created major legal problems. He believes a federal trial could have proceeded using other evidence, without relying on those statements.
Torture, Gitmo, and the 9/11 Case That Won't End | Jessica Trant & Frank Pellegrino | Ep. 480
Q: Is that really where you think the delay and problem with this particular case comes from? The origin is that a lot of the information comes from the enhanced interrogations?
Pellegrino says the issue is not only whether evidence came from enhanced interrogations. Their use itself complicated the case, while delays also stemmed from prosecution and defense motions, military judges' procedures, and the logistics of holding hearings at Guantanamo.

Q: What advice do you have for dealing with imposter syndrome and negative self-talk?
Stumpf says self-doubt can motivate learning and preparation if it does not become paralyzing. He recommends recognizing negative self-talk early, reviewing concrete evidence of past accomplishments, and taking a small constructive action that could improve the situation.
