As usual, it's on Stigall to bring up topics no-one else in media seems to think worthy of simple questions. This week, its a missing Marine jet that's now led to a two day, global grounding of all Marine aircraft. National Security Editor at Breitbart - John Hayward unpacks this story with Stigall as well as the Husk's deal with Iran for Hostages, China on the brink of economic collapse, and the UN General Assembly meeting this week. Lots of John Fetterman dress code talk in the last 24 hours which leads Stigall to conclude there's a reason more than comfort for it. And the Governor of Pennsylvania is leading the celebration of "National Voter Registration Day." Stigall's looking around for the GOP's similar campaign. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Hostage diplomacy” is a term you'll frequently see in the media, but it's a misleading term. What we're really talking about: Dictators kidnapping and torturing innocent foreign civilians. In some cases, the leaders of free countries pay ransom to get them back. In some cases, the dictators also demand the release of convicted criminals who have been or can be of use to them. In some cases, both simultaneously.The Islamic Republic of Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism; in 1979, in violation of the most fundamental international laws, its agents seized the American embassy in Tehran and held 66 American citizens hostage — 52 of them for 444 days.The regime in Tehran threatens Israelis with genocide and is providing weapons to Vladimir Putin so he can continue slaughtering Ukrainians for refusing to submit to him; for the crime (in his eyes) of wanting to remain free and independent.The Biden administration has now reportedly approved the release to Tehran of several Iranian criminals along with $6 billion in frozen funds. In exchange, five U.S. citizens are to be released.And that's almost certainly just part of a broader deal being kept secret from the American people and from Congress — in clear violation of American law.Billions of additional dollars appear to be involved in this deal which will not stop Tehran's nuclear weapons development program or even seriously delay it.And because you get more of what you reward, expect the hostage-taking to continue.Joining host Cliff May to discuss these topics:Gazalle Sharmahd, whose father, Jamshid or (Jimmy) Sharmahd, a German citizen, was taken prisoner by Iranian agents in Dubai in 2020.

Orisanmi Burton returns to the podcast to discuss his forthcoming book Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt. We recorded this episode on August 21st the anniversary of the assassination of George Jackson, and we release it on September 9th, the 52nd anniversary of the Attica Rebellion. We spoke with Dr. Burton for over three hours and will release the conversation in segments. In this episode we talk about Dr. Burton's methodology and why this book is different from other historical renderings of Attica, something that will immediately be apparent as we get into the discussion.  We talk in this episode about the relationship between prisons, slavery, war and the law. Burton also shares reflections on the New York City Jail Rebellions of 1970, also known as the Tombs Rebellion or the Tombs Uprising. We talk about ways that Dr. Burton works with political Blackness and different notions of manhood through meditations from Queen Mother Moore and Kuwasi Balagoon. Burton reflects on how rebels gained leverage in zones of captivity and recalibrate our understanding of the Panther 21 by examining their impact and influence as political actors amid their repression. We also discuss different aspects of the lesser known November 1970 Auburn Prison Rebellion. In the remainder of our conversation with Orisanmi Burton we will discuss his work's treatment specifically on the Attica Revolt. This is our 4th conversation with Orisanmi Burton and we will link the others as even though they are on separate writings, they all relate to this book and interventions within it and fill in gaps we don't cover in this episode.  If you haven't already, go out and pre-order this book. I mean no disrespect to the other authors who've written great books this year, there are some other great contenders, but this is the best book that I've read this year.

We threw out the entire script we had ready for tonight's show to bring you something more important—the undoing of representative democracy in an American city. Join us to watch and listen to the hysteria, abuse, and threats hurled for hours at the meeting of the Burlington City Council on August 14. Radical activists, anarchists, and black supremacists screamed, lied, cajoled, and threatened the mayor and the city council. For what? For having the temerity to investigate the management practices of a former black employee in the city's "Racial Equity Inclusion and Belonging" department. The opportunistic white politicians who hitched their wagon to these crazed anarchists to get the lunatic vote have now arrived at the only destination that was ever possible. This is a difficult episode to watch, but not as difficult as it will be for all of us if we don't notice what's happening and stand up before it's too late.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few episodes go (I've Had It!), more than one vacation rental company owner said they have "had it" with being threatened by guests with bad reviews if they don't give a refund, an increase in chargebacks and fraudulent transactions (aka. stolen credit cards).  In this episode,  Sarah and Tim welcome 3 experts on to talk about how to tackle these frustrating events. This fresh perspective gives tips on new ways you may want to consider accepting funds, how to effectively approach chargebacks and win, as well as how to deal with those quasi hostage taking guests who seem to make a profession out of saying something was wrong at the end of their stay. Many thanks to Terry Whyte, Chris Savino, and Matt Gurley for joining us and sharing proven tactics against these shady actors.

Next, dwarves mock joust at Joff's behest and the king commands Tyrion to challenge the victor. When Tyrion refuses, things get ugly. The king dumps a chalice of wine on Tyrion and demands Tyrion be his cupbearer and serve him. Tyrion does as told and the king drinks deeply. He continues to mock Tyrion but a coughing fit worsens to choking. All around, people realize that the king is dying. When Cersei screams, Tyrion knows Joff is dead.

Chris Voss is one of the preeminent practitioners and professors of negotiation skills in the world. He was formerly the lead international kidnapping negotiator for the FBI as well as the FBI's hostage negotiation representative for the National Security Council's Hostage Working Group.  He is the founder of The Black Swan Group, a consulting firm that provides training and advises Fortune 500 companies through complex negotiations.  He has taught business negotiation in MBA programs at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business and Georgetown's McDonough School of Business. He also taught business negotiation at Harvard and guest lectured at other leading universities including the MIT Sloan School of Management and Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management.  His book is titled: Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It.   Some interesting insights from this episode: ·         Working the crisis hotline was where Chris first learned the power of empathy. Showing someone that they feel heard is often enough to get them to change their behavior.  ·         Empathy is about the transmission of information whereas compassion is about the reaction to that transmission. ·         Any time you relax into stress, you'll handle it far better. The act of relaxation increases your body's ability to handle its stress demands. ·         Labeling is a verbal observation of an emotion or a dynamic. It's a way of demonstrating that you're listening and understanding the other side. ·         Meeting someone halfway (i.e. splitting the difference) rarely works since it never feels like it's really halfway.  You feel the transaction was unfair.  Reason being, based on the economist Daniel Kahneman, people tend to fear a loss twice as much as they are likely to welcome an equivalent gain. ·         “Excellence is a delight with learning and growing. It is not the pursuit of perfection which is a fool's errand.”   Notes: Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if your Life Depended on It Black Swan Group Fireside Black Swan Group Coaching Program

Did you know that the principles a hostage negotiator uses to negotiate with a hostage-taker can be applied to leadership? It seems far-fetched, I know. But Derek Gaunt takes the concept and drives it home in his book, “Ego, Authority, Failure: Using Emotional Intelligence Like a Hostage Negotiator to Succeed as a Leader.”  In this episode of Negotiations Ninja, we get into the specifics of the hostage negotiation framework, tactical empathy, the ability to build emotional control into conversations, and how to be an overall better leader.

I remember being so shocked and saddened when this family's story hit the news several years ago and it's one that I've been hesitant to tell on this podcast because it is so graphic and unimaginable. What these kids (some of them adults) went through at the hands of their parents for years … it turns my stomach and brings tears to my eyes.But their perseverance and strength is so admirable that I wanted to shine an even brighter light on their resilience. Trigger warnings ahead — this episode will deal with child abuse, imprisonment, and horrific neglect. Please take care while listening.On paper (and perhaps in person), David and Louise Turpin might seem like a normal married couple raising their children — all 13 of them, 3 boys and 10 girl, (which might draw some attention in and of itself). But with a little digging it is easy to find some oddities in their relationship timeline, like the fact that they got married when he was 23 and she was just 16-years-old — they had attended the same high school (though not at the same time). The story goes that David convinced school employees to sign her out of school … and they fled to Texas (possibly with the intent of eloping) before being caught by police and brought back home. Surprisingly, Louise's preacher father gave his blessing on the union and allowed the two to wed in 1984.// SOURCES //https://hollywoodlife.com/feature/turpin-family-parents-now-4581503/https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/what-happened-turpin-parents-family-story-explained-escape-house-horror-takes-internet-stormhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/louise-turpinhttps://facts.net/turpin-family-facts/https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/bad-behavior/turpin-house-of-horrors-timeline-of-how-13-siblings-suffered-years-of-torture-and-abusehttps://www.cnn.com/2018/01/18/us/turpin-family-conditions-inside-house/index.htmlhttps://www.desertsun.com/story/news/crime_courts/2018/01/19/turpin-torture-diaries-hundreds-journals-found-home-13-captive-children/1048998001/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/turpin-sisters-photos-of-shackled-siblings-draw-gasps-in-court-david-louise-turpin-california/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10206015/Jordan-Turpin-opens-911-moments-escaping-house-horrors.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12022123/Foster-family-accused-abusing-five-rescued-Turpin-siblings-appear-court.htmlhttps://nypost.com/2023/02/13/some-house-of-horrors-turpin-siblings-finding-life-impossible-after-parents-torture/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The White House has declared hostage-taking to be a national emergency. In July 2022, Biden issued an executive order outlining steps to deter the practice and help bring Americans back sooner. Increasingly, autocratic nation states such as Russia and Iran are detaining U.S. citizens unlawfully or on minor and bogus charges with the aim of getting something they want. Hostage diplomacy is no longer a tactic of terrorists or rogue actors, but a tool government officials are turning to. Roger Carstens, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, is the person who takes charge and tries to start negotiations when the State Department determines that a detainment is a diplomatic issue. At the Aspen Ideas Festival, NBC correspondent Tom Llamas talks with Carstens about the process, as well as Jason Rezaian, who spent 544 days in an Iranian prison for being a Washington Post reporter. Hostage expert Dani Gilbert, a political science professor at Northwestern University, also joins the panel to share research in this field.

After having kids, every parent quickly realizes just how much less freedom they have. Your schedule is different. Your sleep is different. What you can watch on TV is different. Where you can live is different. Kids are, as we've said, a dose of unavoidable reality–a reality where you are indisputably, almost laughably not in charge.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Dad email: DailyDad.com

Morgan Ortagus, former State Department Spokeswoman, says that President Biden's failure on the world stage will results in the “largest ransom payment in U.S. history” to Iran. Saying, “it's incredibly dangerous for every American who travels abroad.” Saying, while it “is commendable that the administration is trying to get Americans who are wrongfully detained wrongfully imprisoned out? Yes, of course, that's the job of the American government. That's what we should be doing. But it you know, any negotiation is not the fix. So just because you get an American home, even though we're happy about that, and by the way, it hasn't happened yet. But this is what's being reported that getting an American home shouldn't be the only end goal, you should you should have a negotiation that leaves the rest of America safe whenever they are traveling abroad.” Ortagus says that after the Russia deal to get back Brittney Griner, it showed the rest of the world that the United States will pay whatever price. Saying, “If this deal goes down, as reported, this is about $1.2 billion per hostage.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
