Get your Challenge Coin! https://train.americanwarriorsociety.com/home   On today's American Warrior Show, we will be joined by T.C. Fuller & Reudi Kaspar. We will discuss Operation Eagle Claw on the 45th anniversary. We will discuss its causes, execution, and lessons learned. JOIN US!   Operation Eagle Claw was a U.S. military mission conducted on April 24-25, 1980, aimed at rescuing 53 American hostages held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran during the Iran hostage crisis. The operation emerged from President Carter's growing frustration with the inability to secure the hostages' release through diplomatic channels. Executed by the fledgling Delta Force, the mission faced significant challenges, including mechanical failures, adverse weather at Desert One, and poor planning. Ultimately, the mission was aborted, leading to the deaths of eight servicemen. Key lessons learned included the need for improved intelligence, contingency planning, and enhanced coordination in special operations.   American Warrior Show: https://americanwarriorshow.com/index.html SWAG: https://shop.americanwarriorsociety.com/ American Warrior Society please visit: https://americanwarriorsociety.com/

Josh recently shot the nationals and breaks down his ups and downs in this raw show. Visit Josh's Website Brief Bio: Josh's journey into action shooting began on a quiet trip to the local gun shop, when he heard one of the employees mention an IDPA match scheduled that weekend. He gave it a shot and hasn't looked back since. He soon took on the added challenges of USPSA competition, becoming hooked on the faster shooting, higher-round-count stages and more strategic problem solving. This eventually led to 3-gun, which is now his primary focus.

Deal operates full time as the founder and lead instructor of Zero Points Down Academy (ZPD) in South Africa. ZPD is a bespoke training operation catering for Police mandated training of citizens on all small arms as well as advanced levels of sport shooting, including precision long-range shooting.   He is the IDPA State Coordinator for the Cape Province in South Africa and a keen Sport Shooter. In 2020 he founded the SAFE CITIZEN Campaign www.safecitizen.co.za – a civil rights group concerned with the safety of South Africans who daily face escalating and brutal crime. Writing on Travel and Tourism, his book, Timeless Karoo was published in 2007, and as a freelance journalist and photographer, he also writes for various publications, including the Rhodes Business School website and the Daily Maverick. He is a past chairman of the Southern African Freelancers Association and is sought after as a speaker and debater on environmental issues at international conferences. Deal presented at Al Gore's International Climate Leadership School in Johannesburg in March 2014 and was honored in the same year to be listed by City Press as 1 of 100 World Class South Africans, sharing the accolade with fellow citizens such as Nelson Mandela, Mark Shuttleworth and Charlize Theron.   His background in journalism and public speaking has proved invaluable in moving Safe Citizen forward.   As a committed trainer, he holds a fierce passion for lawful and competent private gun ownership and regards himself as an influencer in this realm in South Africa. Reading widely on training and civil rights issues, Deal views SafeCitizenas a necessary vehicle to move lawful gun owners close to the police as trusted allies – proving that citizens who can defend themselves will be a powerful and positive influence on the communities in which they live. Deal intends to use every resource available to unite lawful South Africans who support private firearm ownership, to overturn the untrue perception that firearms are bad and that private firearm owners are to blame for the flood of illegal firearms in the country. He is determined that his fellow citizens should be able, via the lawful possession of a firearm to enjoy the Constitutional guarantee of freedom from public or private violence.

His self-protection system, a product of years of meticulous development, was born and tested within these walls, proving its effectiveness time and again. Ken's introduction to the martial arts world occurred at age five and set the groundwork for his profound journey. He kick-started his training with fencing and the prison dirty-boxing style known as '52 Blocks' or 'Jailhouse Rock.' This foundation allowed Ken to complement his fighting style with conventional boxing, Ving Tsun, Kali, and Krav Maga in the later years. Today, Ken Shadow Goodman, the man who turned adversity into resilience, shares his expertise with the world, reinforcing the importance of self-protection and teaching the skills needed to make it a reality.

  On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by Charles Haywood. Charles Haywood writes at The Worthy House. He was born in Indiana, where he now lives with his Australian wife and five children. His father taught Russian history at Purdue University. His mother was born in Hungary, and Charles has spent quite a bit of time in Hungary and maintains a keen interest in Hungarian affairs. After getting a degree in history from Indiana University, Haywood moved to Chicago, to obtain a law degree from the University of Chicago Law School. He graduated in 1994 and clerked for a year for the late Hon. Michael S. Kanne, on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and then practiced as a big-firm lawyer in Chicago in the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily mergers-and-acquisitions and securities law. However, Charles tired of law and wanted to be rich. So he gave more of his money to the University of Chicago, to get an MBA at the Booth School of Business. Then he moved back to Indiana and started a business that developed and manufactured hair care products (after first briefly operating a woodworking and cabinetry business). He grew the business to 150 employees and sold it in 2020. Now, other than The Worthy House, Charles involves himself in various political and cultural matters, but also devotes considerable time to trying to be a gentleman farmer. He and his family raise bees, chickens, and a wide variety of plants, and he hopes to expand these endeavors.   Charles Haywood's (Worthy House): https://theworthyhouse.com/ Coffee with Rich Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rhodieusmc/videos American Warrior Show: https://americanwarriorshow.com/index.html SWAG: https://shop.americanwarriorsociety.com/ American Warrior Society please visit: https://americanwarriorsociety.com/
