The IDF has fiercely denied Hamas reports that its forces opened fire on crowds of Palestinians as they made their way to an aid centre in southern Gaza. What neither side can deny at this point is that the scale of death and suffering is intolerable. Jewish people have been very recently killed in hate-fuelled attacks in the US - and it goes without saying that the mass killing of innocent Palestinians by Netanyahu's forces is doing nothing but grave harm to the Israeli cause. Nineteen months into this war, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joins Piers Morgan to tell him “enough is enough” and why he thinks the President should be jailed for war crimes.

Bulletproof Mind Grossman, a retired U.S. Army Ranger, paratrooper, and former West Point psychology professor, is presented as a leading authority on the psychology of conflict, human aggression, and surviving high-stress situations. His work emphasizes the importance of mental and emotional preparation for violence and adversity, particularly for those in roles such as military, law enforcement, first responders, and school/church security personnel. A core theme across the materials is the perceived existence of a battle between "good and evil" and the necessity of confronting "uncomfortable facts" to protect oneself and society. Grossman On Truth offers various presentations and training programs, including "Bulletproof Mind," "Safe Schools and Healthy Students," and "Bulletproof House of Worship Security," all centered on preparing individuals to face and overcome threats. Main Themes and Key Ideas: 1.     The Psychology of Conflict and Violence: Lt. Col. Grossman's work is fundamentally rooted in understanding the psychological aspects of conflict, aggression, and violence. His extensive background in the military and as a psychology professor informs his analysis of human behavior in high-stress situations. The "Bulletproof Mind" presentation, for example, focuses on the "unique mental stressors of possible violence" and understanding the physiological and psychological responses to such events. This is presented as crucial for making correct decisions in the heat of the moment and afterward. 2.     Preparation and Resilience in High-Stress Situations: A central tenet of Grossman's philosophy is the necessity of mental and emotional preparation to perform and survive in confrontational environments. The materials repeatedly highlight his expertise in training individuals to be "not only physically prepared but mentally and emotionally equipped for the challenges they face." The concept of "resiliency in the face of adversity" is a key offering from Grossman On Truth. 3.     The "Warrior Mindset" and "Sheepdogs": While the term "Warrior Mindset" is mentioned in the "Bulletproof Mind Flyer," the Grossman On Truth website also features a section dedicated to "Sheepdogs." This imagery, often used to describe those who protect the innocent (the "sheep") from those who would harm them (the "wolves"), aligns with the broader theme of individuals being mentally prepared to confront threats and protect others. The materials position Grossman as a key figure in developing this protective mindset. 4.     Confronting "Good and Evil" and "Truth": The materials introduce a strong moral dimension, stating that "Our world is in the midst of a battle between the forces of good and evil." They claim that "Things are being twisted and good is called evil and evil is being, accepted as good." Grossman On Truth positions itself as providing "truth" and facing "uncomfortable facts." This framing underpins the urgency and necessity of their training programs. 5.     Protecting Vulnerable Populations: A significant focus of Grossman's work is on enhancing safety and security for vulnerable populations, particularly children and religious congregations. The "Safe Schools and Healthy Students" presentation directly addresses the need to "protect the children who have been entrusted to our care," requiring individuals to face "uncomfortable facts, including violent children, terrorists, and the lagging security systems." Similarly, "Bulletproof House of Worship Security" focuses on preventing violence in places of worship and protecting congregations. 6.     Practical Training and Actionable Strategies: Beyond theoretical understanding, the materials emphasize providing practical strategies and "response technologies" for dealing with threats. The descriptions of the presentations outline specific areas of training, such as identifying threats, de-escalation techniques, lessons learned from past tragedies, and ensuring preparedness in specific scenarios (e.g., "what does the prepared safety team look like on Sundays"). 7.     Extensive Background and Recognition: The materials heavily emphasize Lt. Col. Grossman's credentials and recognition in various fields. His background as an Army Ranger, paratrooper, and West Point professor, along with his publications ("On Killing" is highlighted as a "perennial bestseller" with "over half a million copies sold"), media appearances, and testimony before government bodies, are used to establish his authority and credibility as an expert. His involvement in the aftermath of several school massacres is also prominently mentioned. Key Facts and Quotes: ·       Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is a retired U.S. Army Ranger, paratrooper, and former West Point psychology professor. ·       He is the author of numerous books, including the "perennial bestseller" On Killing. ·       Grossman On Truth, LLC aims to "provide truth and equip men and women with mental tools to enable resiliency in the face of adversity." ·       Presentations offered include "Bulletproof Mind," "Safe Schools and Healthy Students," and "Bulletproof House of Worship Security." ·       The materials state: "Our world is in the midst of a battle between the forces of good and evil. Things are being twisted and good is called evil and evil is being, accepted as good." ·       The "Bulletproof Mind" presentation focuses on preparing for and overcoming "the unique mental stressors of possible violence." ·       "We must protect the children who have been entrusted to our care. That means facing some uncomfortable facts, including violent children, terrorists, and the lagging security systems when something does happen." - Describing the "Safe Schools and Healthy Students" presentation. ·       Grossman has trained "thousands of professionals in the fields of security, leadership, and crisis response." ·       His research has been cited by the President of the United States, and he has testified before the U.S. Senate and Congress. Conclusion: The materials present Lt. Col. Dave Grossman as a highly qualified expert providing essential training for individuals and groups who may face violence or adversity. His approach is grounded in the psychology of conflict and emphasizes mental preparedness, drawing on his extensive military and academic background. The framing of the world as a battle between good and evil and the necessity of confronting uncomfortable truths are central to the messaging. The offerings of Grossman On Truth focus on providing practical knowledge and tools to enhance safety and resilience, particularly in schools and places of worship.

In this episode, our host Ash Bhardwaj speaks with Lt Col Rob Swan, a leader with a diverse career in the British Army. We explore the intersection of leadership, technical expertise, and the development of teams through Rob's unique perspective. Col Swan's journey began when he commissioned into the Royal Logistics Corps (RLC) in 2004. His first experience in leadership came when he served as a transport troop commander during Operation TELIC 6 in Iraq, where he led combat logistics patrols. This was a defining period that set him on a path towards becoming an Ammunition Technical Officer (ATO) and, eventually, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operator. His leadership experience in EOD is particularly notable, where he balanced technical proficiency with the command of highly specialised, intelligent, and experienced teams. Throughout the episode, He discusses the challenges of earning credibility when transitioning into leadership roles, particularly when managing teams of individuals with more experience in their technical trades. He shares how trust, both in his team's expertise and his own leadership, was crucial to his success. He also highlights the importance of building a culture where psychological safety is paramount, ensuring that team members feel safe to challenge their leader when necessary, especially in high stakes environments like EOD operations. This episode provides a deep dive into leadership from the unique perspective of an officer who has navigated both the technical and command challenges within the Army. His insights on developing trust, the value of continual professional development, and adapting leadership styles based on individual team members' needs offer valuable lessons for all leaders. Join us as we explore how leadership is about more than just knowledge: it's about experience, trust, and building strong, capable teams through the right balance of challenge, support, and understanding.

On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were excited to talk with Lieutenant Colonel Scott Gross, Commander of the Air Force ROTC at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Lt. Col. Gross brings nearly two decades of distinguished service in the United States Air Force, with experience spanning leadership, intelligence, foreign area expertise, and program management. His career has taken him across the world as he did strategic and operational planning in Jordan for Special Operations and Intel operations in Iraq. He also led program management work in Boston and Ohio. As the leader of the Air Force ROTC here at UW-Madison, Lt. Col. Gross plays a critical role in shaping the next generation of military and civic leaders. In this interview, we talked with him about his experiences in the Air Force, the lessons he's learned about leadership and service, and why he believes it's essential for students, regardless of their career aspirations, to think about ways they can contribute to public service.

Everything, everywhere, all at once — but not the movie. This is how cybersecurity experts describe a scenario where a foreign adversary shuts off critical infrastructure, like oil pipelines, water networks, ports, and electric grids, all over the country.

Savage speaks with Daniel Davis, Retired Lt.Col at Defense Priorities & host of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive show, to break down the latest on the Russia-Ukraine War. They touch on the rising tensions between Trump and Zelensky. Why is Zelensky hostile to Trump's attempts to bring peace and how has he failed the Ukrainian people? Savage questions the deeper motivations behind the U.S. media's aggressive stance towards Russia. Davis provides shocking casualty figures that significantly contradict mainstream narratives. They discuss President Trump's criticisms of Ukrainian President Zelensky, suggesting that Zelensky had multiple opportunities to prevent the war and failed to act upon them, particularly regarding NATO's involvement. Davis explains how Zelensky could have engaged diplomatically to avert conflict, pointing out that the narrative of Ukraine as the underdog may overlook deeper strategic missteps.   Visit Our Sponsors: If you're ready to finally feel rested and in control, head to ApolloNeuro.com/SAVAGE to get $60 off your Apollo Wearable today and you'll get a sleep band included with your order ($30 value), completely free.
