This show we have two extremely pivotal guest, Sarah Adams and Dave “Boon” Benton.  They are both survivors of the 2012 Benghazi, Libya attacks and are authors of the book, Benghazi Know Thy Enemy, A Cold Case Investigation.   Many will recall the book “13 Hrs in Benghazi” and the Benghazi attacks themselves.  Boon was one of the CIA GRS contractor whom went to the aid of Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff at the Benghazi Consulate, and later defended the CIA Annex against al-Qa'ida terrorist.  Sarah was a CIA analyst and the on the ground targeter for the Benghazi CIA Annex.  Sarah was also a Senior Advisor to the US House of Representatives Select Committee on Benghazi.  Contrary to popular media accounts, these attacks were not the result of an anti-Islam YouTube video per the Obama administration, these attacks were planned by hardened al-Qa'ida terrorist, with the Consulate attack ordered by the leader of AQ Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri.   In these attacks we lost four patriotic Americans:  Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone “Rone” Woods, and Glenn “Bub” Doherty.  This investigation is to help bring these terrorist to justice.  Links to book, audio book, how to train with Boon and more… Intro and Outro Music by: The Tactical Twins, Jason Bieler and The Baron Von Bielski Orchestra and Tim Alexander/Fata Morgana Please subscribe and share our podcast with friends and family.  Visit our website for bios, future events and info at www.evosec.org  Like, follow and share us on Facebook and Instagram @evosecusa WE ARE PUMPED TO HAVE A NEW AFFILIATE LINK FOR ORIGIN AND JOCKO FUEL!!!  Help support this show by purchasing any of your JiuJitsu gear, Jocko Supplements, books clothing and more... link below.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Ethan Chorin about his book: Benghazi!: A New History of the Fiasco that Pushed America and its World to the Brink. We all think we know the story of Benghazi and usually politics and who is to blame shapes that which we think we know. Lost in that sometimes is that fact that four Americans were killed; Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. Benghazi and the events of Sept 11, 2012 are difficult to understand and deserve more than a sound bite or political narrative. Chorin does this story and those men justice by taking the deep dive and gives us the history leading up to the attack, the events of that day, the aftermath and the effects of Benghazi's echo today. I hope you will all give this a read and talk about it. 

On this week's podcast, Rad features Ethan Chorin, a former diplomat posted to Libya during the 2012 Benghazi attack. This single catastrophe continues to have far-reaching effects on the domestic and foreign policy of the US and Ethan shares his account of the events prior to the attack and its aftermath.  He gives an insider's perspective on Ambassador Chris Stevens' thoughts leading up to this fateful day and the tremendous amount of risk he volunteered to take on entering Benghazi.  Ethan also comments on the rather unfair portrayal of Ambassador Stevens in the Hollywood dramatization. He points to the fact that what people want is a scapegoat for why this tragic event even took place and not an understanding of its implications to policy-making, risk aversion, and partisanship.

From 2004-2006, Ethan Chorin was one of a handful of US diplomats posted to Libya in the wake of rapprochement with Colonel Gaddafi. Six years later, he was in Benghazi (planning to meet the next day with Ambassador Chris Stevens) when the U.S. mission came under attack—an event that still reverberates through American domestic politics and foreign policy in disturbing and unexpected ways, as Chorin explains in his new book BENGHAZI! A New History of the Fiasco that Pushed America and its World to the Brink.Despite hundreds of hours of Congressional hearings, a deep dive into Hillary Clinton's personal email, and the trial of two suspects (ultimately acquitted), there are many unanswered questions about what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.  Until now.To tell this story, Chorin draws on his own bone-chilling experience during the Benghazi attack, his expertise as a former diplomat and scholar of Libyan history, and new interviews with Libyan insiders, eyewitnesses, and various senior Obama officials, including Hillary Clinton. Democrats and Republicans agree on little when it comes to Benghazi, but both sides are likely to find themselves feeling vindicated by some of Chorin's revelations and conclusions, while strongly contesting others. His new book, "Benghazi! A New History of the Fiasco that Pushed America and its World to the Brink" is available for sale September 6, 2022. Guess Bio:Ethan Chorin is a Middle East and Africa-focused scholar and entrepreneur. He is known as a leading analyst of Libyan affairs, and for his applied development work in the Middle East and Africa, in the area of environmental science and healthcare.Learn more about our guest, and where to buy his book here: https://ethanchorinauthor.com/upcoming-book/Support the show

On September 11 and 12, 2012, a group of approximately 150 terrorists assaulted a U.S. diplomatic compound and a nearby CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya.  This attack led to the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. The terrorists faced stiff and lethal resistance from a small handful of Americans, one of them being David "Boon" Benton, who worked in conjunction with intelligence officials there in Libya, including one Sarah Adams.Recently, Boon and Sarah co-authored a book titled "Benghazi: Know Thy Enemy", and it will be released for sale soon. Book and Sarah join Royce on this episode to discuss this new book, and you won't wanna' miss it at all.Support the show

It's August 14th. In 2012, a State Department memo was sent regarding the security of the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Less than a month later, the compound was attacked, and four Americans died, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Jody, NIki, and Kellie are joined by Leon Neyfakh, host of FIASCO, to discuss the roots of the deep Benghazi attack — and how the politicization of the incident has completely muddied the waters of understanding why the tragedy occured. Leon reported and hosted the fourth season of FIASCO on the Benghazi incident. Find it on Apple Podcasts or the Luminary app.

Joining us on this episode is Robert W. Allen, a man with a very impressive resume. Robert is a current U.S. Army Officer and professor at Tulane University. He previously worked as a CIA and State Department security advisor. He served in multiple combat deployments and also worked the protection detail in Jerusalem for Ambassador Chris Stevens, best known as one of the fallen heroes of Benghazi in 2012.

Devin: Dave, what is your superpower?Dave: I spent 30 years working with forgotten communities around the world where economic grievances drove political conflict. What I learned is that you have to listen to the local people, that if you don’t include the local people, you can’t accomplish anything. For instance, climate change or the pollution within the Chesapeake Bay or questions of overfishing, all of that surround my district, and we have spent billions and billions of dollars trying to clean up the Chesapeake Bay from a top-down approach for the last 50 years without success because we failed to include the local people. We failed to include the watermen. So just like you cannot save natural resources or create opportunity in a game park in Kenya if you exclude the villagers. Just like you can create, or you can accelerate war in West Africa with diamonds, blood diamonds, if you exclude the locals. In America, in my district, in Maryland and around the country, we must listen more closely to the hopes and dreams and aspirations and the concerns of local people if we hope to get beyond where we are in America today. So what I have learned being both rural and from this area and then being blessed to represent America around the world for practically 30 years, what I have learned a superpower, if you will, is that understanding local people is key to driving outcomes for a better future for our country and for the world.Dave Harden spent 30 years working around the world to solve local problems. Along the way, he learned one fundamental truth: leaders must understand and engage with the people they hope to lead to create successful solutions to their problems.Most of Dave’s time spent working abroad was done while working for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). After serving decades there in the foreign service, President Obama appointed Dave as the Assistant Administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance.The appointment required U.S. Senate confirmation, which he received without a negative vote. After President Obama’s term, Dave returned to the foreign service in USAID. President Trump then gave him the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service, the highest award in the Foreign Service, for “sustained extraordinary accomplishment in the conduct of the foreign policy.”After leaving USAID, he founded the Georgetown Strategy Group to engage in solving the same international challenges, leveraging private talent and capital. “We look at crises and trends in the world ahead, and we try to align capital, talent and technology to blunt those challenges that we will see that are coming down the road 10, 20 years down the road,” Dave says.At the Georgetown Strategy Group, he partners with MIT. “We developed a system that is an early warning system for long-range climate impact,” he says. At USAID, Dave had employed an early warning system to predict six to nine months ahead of a famine that one was developing, allowing the agency to deliver aid when it was needed. Mimicking that concept, with MIT, he’s designed a model to identify where climate change will have the most significant impact 10 to 20 years out. That long-range foresight will allow his firm and others to help communities plan and prepare for climate impacts that would otherwise devastate communities and their economies.Another example of his work at the firm includes an effort to turn around a struggling Palestinian startup. Hired by the investors, including some Israeli investors, he and his team worked to turn around the Ramallah-based enterprise. Ultimately, the effort was done in by the pandemic. One of the notable experiences in his career was in Libya, reopening diplomatic operations and efforts to stabilize the country and its economy after the tragic death of Ambassador Chris Stevens. He shared the story:It was dangerous. And I mean, full stop. It was dangerous. I flew in with Gene Cretz, who was the ambassador at the time, and we went in with a very big security detail. Libya was still very much in the middle of its civil war. Gadhafi was still in power, but he had left Tripoli and the militias had taken over. This was in 2011, in September of 2011, and so we arrived on the ground. It was extraordinarily dangerous. The State Department doesn't have the appetite for these things anymore after Chris Stevens, who was a friend and a colleague, was killed in in Libya. We came in and my job was basically to kind of restart both the economy, the governing systems and to blunt the humanitarian crisis. And what I was most proud about is, normally in these kinds of crises, America wants to be seen as doing something. And so we bring in the Mercy ship or we fly in C-130 full of beds. And, in many ways, it never works. It just is more of a symbol than a solution. But what I was able to do is to draw down Libyan money that was held in escrow and in the New York Federal Reserve and use that to jumpstart the private sector, both equipment manufacturers and suppliers, and repair folks and the pharmaceuticals to come in and immediately restart the health care system. And it didn't cost the American taxpayers anything. We used Libyan money and we use the private sector, and we were able to turn around impact very, very quickly.Dave also has experience in Afghanistan and has watched recent events with dismay. he describes the pullout as “chaotic” and “suboptimal.” “The exit was terrible,” he says, noting that he would have left a small contingent there. With the decision made and executed, the situation is terrible, primarily financial, with devastating human impact. The banking system and currency are collapsing, yielding spiraling hyperinflation. The economic collapse is leading to profound humanitarian crises.Dave has a plan modeled, in part, on his experience in Libya. “What I would do is take some of the funds that the U.S. has control of in of Afghan reserve currencies that are in New York put it into a trust fund that would be administered that would allow the private sector to trade and to build up food stocks while the U.N. continues to provide assistance to the very most vulnerable.”Now, he is running for Congress in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District.In all his work, he leverages a lesson he now considers his superpower: understanding and engaging with the local people he serves.How to Develop Understanding Local People As a SuperpowerUnderstanding and engaging with local people, the people you hope to lead or serve, is a skill you can develop regardless of your aptitude. And Dave ties the skill directly to success.He points out that for 50 years, governments and NGOs have spent billions of dollars trying to clean up the Chesapeake Bay without success. “We’ve bought process. But at the end of the day, you’re not buying results.”He says the same thing has happened in Afghanistan, where “we did not buy results. We bought process.”“Including the local people, making sure we’re being very rigorous about what results are, making sure that those results are clear, crisp and achievable. And then driving towards that is going to be the outcome now,” Dave says, of applying his approach.“That drive for results over politics or process has got to be how we think about the next decade,” he says. He offered this example of success working with local people in the Middle East:We were able to deconflict the northern West Bank between Israel and the Palestinians by simply creating a sustainable trading route so that small businesses could sell their goods to the entire world.It lowered unemployment, improved governance; it created jobs. It created private capital that could be reinvested in other productive businesses and lowered the risk that militias would be disruptive. We bought essentially calm and stability in the northern West Bank for a decade.Developing this skill requires engaging actively with the people you serve, listening effectively and working to fully understand their perspective before you implement an attempt at solutions. This process will yield organic, natural support when you are on the right path.You can make understanding local people a superpower that will enable your impactful success.

9-11-2012. That was a day most red-blooded Americans will never forget.As a US Army Veteran I know I never will.That was the day we lost a US Ambassador and personal friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ambassador Chris Stevens.We also lost a civilian contractor, Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. All of their deaths could have been avoided, and SHOULD have. So many absolute blunders and horrible decisions were made that night, and the weeks leading up to that night, that people should have gone to prison at a minimum. Instead, it's difficult to say anyone, ANYONE, has even been held accountable, other than possibly losing an election over it.Last week the attendees of the SEHIA Conference in San Antonio had the amazing opportunity to hear a first-hand account of what really happened that night from one of the survivors, John "Tig" Tiegen. John was working as a CIA contractor, providing security for the covert CIA annex that was less than a mile away from the US Consulate that was attacked in the early evening of 9-11-12. John dispelled some rumors, confirmed others and most importantly, gave an almost minute by minute account of the cowardly actions of some, and the incredibly heroic actions of others, as that fateful night unfolded. How did the United States, with the most powerful military in the world, a massive intelligence apparatus, political and economic influence in every corner of the world and an intimate understanding of terror groups not be fully prepared to defend our strategic assets, let alone a US Ambassador, on the anniversary of 9-11?Above all else, all of us need to ask ourselves "What kind of leaders, political or military, would abandon their own citizens?" And as a follow on to that question, do we really want them in charge today? Each of us needs to answer that for ourselves but I think I make it clear how I would answer that.For more about John Tiegan go to his website at: https://www.johntiegen.com/pages/bioAll Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time. The host, Jared Bradley, is the President of M-Vac Systems, which is a wet-vacuum based forensic DNA collection system, and has experience traveling the world training all levels of law enforcement and crime lab DNA analysts in using the M-Vac to help solve crime. Along the way he has met people from all walks of life and experience in investigating crimes, so is putting that knowledge to use in another way by sharing it in these videos.If you are interested in more videos about the M-Vac, DNA and investigations, also check out the M-Vac's channel @https://www.youtube.com/c/MVacSystems...

“Greg, Greg, we are under attack,” were the last words from Ambassador John Christopher Stevens to his deputy Greg Hicks over the phone from Benghazi office shortly after the attack began around 9:30 p.m. “If you don’t get here we are going to die,” the radio operator at the tactical operations center in Benghazi pronounced on the radio from the improvised consulate. Glen ”Bub” Doherty was part of the quick reaction force consisting of eight U.S. military or former military that left Tripoli in the rush to help rescue the Stevens and his colleagues at the consulate. His task was the same as the task of the 21 CIA personnel at the CIA annex one mile from where Ambassador Chris Stevens’ and the others came under attack. Glen Doherty’s Libya assignment was supposed to be his last for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He had been offered a more suitable job in the private sector that would have allowed him to get out of the line of fire. Written by Eric Sof. In this episode his best friend, Sean Lake, joined the crew to talk about he and BUBs childhood dreams growing up as snowboarders, to how BUB became a SEAL, served on a SEAL team, was tragically killed in Benghazi, and how Sean was supposed to use the money left to him by BUBS to throw a big party, but how his friends legacy lives on through The Glen Doherty Foundation and BUBS Naturals.

More Benghazi revelations are shared from guest, Brad Owens, a contractor with the Torres Firm, who was personally on the ground in Benghazi six months before the raid, and was in charge of gearing up to take over the guard duty. After the September 11th attacks destroyed the compound and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the State Department instructed the Torres Firm and associates not to reveal that the request to move in and take over had been made. In addition, the State Department demanded that Torres’s force be unarmed The State Department also instructed them not to reveal the request that the guards be unarmed. None of these facts have been disclosed previously. Brad Owens, of Torres Systems, recounted these events for the first time on the Tucker Carlson Show on Fox News, and now shares “The REALLY, Real, Deal” with Brother Craig.

In this episode, Andy discusses living on a cattle ranch for two years (8:30), Rep. Tom MacArthur’s role in the healthcare repeal (13:10), advising President Obama and General Petraeus on Iraq and Afghanistan policy (22:27), the Mount Sinjar massacre in Northern Iraq (31:40), redistricting reform (38:30), and his relationship with Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in the 2012 Benghazi attacks (40:00).

We take you through the murky facts and distortions connected to the attack on Benghazi that killed Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans.  Who's to blame for the nonsense and uproar after?  Ultimately, you and me.

Suzette Grillot, Joshua Landis and Rebecca Cruise revisit violence across the globe after Sandy Hook. A report out Tuesday night details inadequate security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that led to the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Oklahoma City community leaders Mohammad and Jalal Farzaneh describe their experiences as Iranians arriving in America shortly before the 1979 revolution and hostage crisis.

Tune in Sunday night to KNUS AM 710 from 5 to 8 pm for Backbone Radio. Matt Dunn and Krista Kafer will hit the airwaves with fresh commentary on all things political and cultural. We have two guests for the evening: Eric Metaxas, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, will join us on Backbone Radio tomorrow night (Sunday 9/16). We will talk about his brilliant book about Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was part of the resistance against the Nazi regime. We'll also talk with Charles R. Kesler, a senior fellow of the Claremont Institute and professor of government at Claremont McKenna College. We'll discuss his brilliant new book I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism. And what will be President Obama's legacy? Here's a hint — Obama's policies on health care, taxation and regulation have pushed America further toward the European model of social democracy. As aging European welfare states (think Greece) presently hit the wall of deficits and debt, Obama's outrageous spending habits are hastening our own encounter with the wall. Meanwhile, the new Census Bureau report paints a grim picture of America 2012: Median household income falling, some 2.3 million more Americans on Medicaid, and a record 46.2 million Americans living in poverty. All this under a president who once said, “Let's be the generation that ends poverty in America.” When you consider that a record 45 million Americans are now on food stamps and a record 11 million are collecting federal disability checks – things aren't pretty these days. This week four Americans lost their lives in Libya, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, when violent protests erupted across North Africa ostensibly over a lame, low-budget film. While the blame sits squarely with the murderers and their twisted excuses, some are wondering if the incoherent foreign policy from this administration has emboldened radical elements abroad. On the bright side, Russian scientists are planning to clone a wooly mammoth from frozen mammoth tissue. We've got more hope for this Jurassic Park adventure than for what lies ahead under this president. Don't miss the hard-hitting commentary and groovy bumper music. Tune in to 710 KNUS or 1460 KZNT Colorado Springs or online at http://www.710knus.com/ from 5 to 8 PM. Your smart choice for Sunday night radio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ambassador Chris Stevens was considered a hero who helped liberate Libya from Moammar Gadhafi, but he died last night in an armed attack over an anti-Muslim film. Also, the Chicago teachers' strike.
