New DOJ video just dropped — and it destroys the “friendly fire” lie the media was pushing. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro released shocking security footage from the White House Correspondents' Dinner showing exactly what happened when Cole Allen allegedly tried to assassinate President Donald Trump. In this never-before-seen video, you'll see the attempted assassin bolt through security with a gun and open fire on Secret Service, plus the immediate response that proves the injured officer was shot by the attempted assassin — not by his own team. Pirro makes it crystal clear: “There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire." This is the chilling reality of radical hatred against President Trump and his America First agenda. The suspect had been casing the Hilton the day before, posted anti-Trump venom online, and allegedly came armed to take out the president at a packed media event.

Send us Fan MailPolicing in the United States feels permanent, like it has always been there. But the timeline says otherwise and the motive is even more unsettling: the first publicly funded police force traces back to 1838 Boston, when shipping merchants realized they could stop paying for private guards if they could persuade the city to pay instead. That single cost shift turns “public safety” into an invoice and it forces a different way of reading everything that comes after.We walk through the forgotten systems that came before modern departments, from the Night Watch model that relied on volunteers and the “hue and cry” to constables paid per warrant served, rewarded for processing crime rather than preventing it. Then we pivot to the South's slave patrols, organized government forces built to stop freedom and control labor, with sworn oaths focused on searching enslaved people for weapons. The story isn't clean or comforting, but it is documented and it explains why “order” so often meant protecting property and managing populations that threatened commercial activity.From there, we follow professional policing as it grows in Boston and New York, shaped by political patronage, anti-uniform backlash, and open corruption under machine politics. We revisit the moment the system broke so badly that two rival police forces physically fought each other on the steps of City Hall, and we connect that instability to the long arc of money, elite influence, and the ruthless suppression of unions. Finally, we bring it to the present with modern police budgets, US government spending on policing, and the question that rarely makes it into textbooks: if the system wasn't built for you, who was it built for?If this reframe changes how you think about the history of American policing, share the episode, subscribe, and leave a review so more people can find it.

In this episode, Mark Ledlow joins Ken Carrasco's podcast, Fortify Your Future, to discuss handling adversity and building a fearless career in corporate and physical security. Mark offers actionable value by inviting listeners to DM him on LinkedIn for guidance on transitioning into the industry and emphasizes that relationships and back-channel networking often open doors more than resumes. He recounts his own military-to-private-sector transition, including moving from Oregon to Southern California, spending 6–12 months obtaining California licensing (guard card, exposed permit, CCW), adjusting professional presentation, and building connections through coffees and lunches. He credits “knowing somebody who knew somebody” for landing his first job with Pinkerton and stresses that in security, each day on the job is an interview and work can be ad hoc. He advises those transitioning to start licensing early, network aggressively, and vet associations carefully due to unscrupulous characters and reputational risk. They discuss the importance of in-person conferences to validate relationships and build trust, with Mark recommending groups and events such as IPSB, the Close Protection Conference (noting it is volunteer-run/nonprofit), Silicon Valley Security Group, ASIS/GSX (including executive protection standardization efforts), and EP Access mixers. Mark encourages young professionals to invest in themselves, present professionally, ask for lunches or dinners (and offer to pay), seek out the smartest people, accept constructive criticism, and remember everyone is replaceable. The conversation shifts to “next gen” workforce challenges: differing communication styles (texting over calls/email), expectations around work-life balance, rapid recognition, and job-hopping. Ken argues leaders should be more participatory in career development rather than expecting conformity. Mark says leaders should ask what motivates each person, understand their family and psychological context, and build trust through genuine care; he describes using profit sharing and small gestures (e.g., upgrading travel) to support his team while noting loyalty cannot be bought. They address social media as unavoidable and platform-specific, with LinkedIn described as most reliable but requiring careful vetting; Mark notes clients research companies online and form opinions from posted content, and both highlight the growing impact of AI and the importance of authenticity and face-to-face connection. Looking ahead to 2026, Mark outlines Ludlow Security's strategic focus amid elections, geopolitics, and major events (Super Bowl in San Francisco, World Cup, Olympics). He describes increasing international relationships, supporting travel teams, expanding residential security and site security, providing risk/threat assessments, and launching a chauffeur driving course with Texas-based training (including FBO/tarmac simulations). He mentions interest in guard work opportunities in Texas (e.g., construction), growing work with family offices, private equity, and law firms, and expanding licensing to the East Coast. Mark also shares a personal impact story of a former team member crediting a job opportunity with saving his life, reinforcing his motivation to support veterans and law enforcement amid post-COVID mental health struggles. The episode closes with mutual appreciation and a shared emphasis on adding value and lifting the industry through community and digital media.Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.KEY TAKEAWAYSNetworking is essential - Success in the security industry depends heavily on relationships and who you know, not just submitting resumes onlinePlan your transition early - Allow 6-12 months to obtain proper licensing, permits, and certifications when transitioning from military/law enforcement to private sectorAttend industry conferences - Face-to-face interactions at events like IPSB, Close Protection Conference, and ASIS GSX are crucial for vetting relationships and building trustInvest in personal growth - Young professionals must focus on self-improvement, ask questions, and surround themselves with people who challenge themUnderstand next-gen motivations - Leaders need to discover what drives their team members and help them achieve their goals to build loyaltyEach day is an interview - The security industry requires proving yourself daily; no one is irreplaceableSocial media requires strategy - Use platforms purposefully and professionally; LinkedIn is the primary business networking toolBuild authentic relationships - In an age of AI and superficiality, face-to-face authenticity and trust-building are more critical than everQUOTES"You're replaceable. Even Mark Ledlow is replaceable. You're not all that in a bag of chips.""If I can help my teammates get what they want, they'll help me get what I want. It's a symbiotic relationship.""You cannot buy loyalty. It's gotta be earned.""Your job saved my life. I was contemplating committing suicide because I felt worthless.""It's not for me. It's for other people to give them hope and inspiration.""People will tell you more stuff in person.

The Private Eye has long been a fixture of popular culture - from Sherlock Holmes, to Philip Marlowe, to Jessica Fletcher.

Alan Pinkerton is perhaps the most over-achieving barrel-maker who ever lived. After practicing his trade in rural Illinois for a few years in the 1850s, the Scottish immigrant busted up a counterfeiting ring, which got the attention of Chicago’s police department, offering him a job as a detective. From here he worked as an intelligence agent in the Civil War (preventing an assassination attempt on Lincoln’s life), then pursued high-profile outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and protected scabs in the Homestead lockout, for which his private detective agency became notorious. Pinkerton has been an enduring source of fascination since the nineteenth century. But the details of his impact, business empire, and private life have been incomplete. Today’s guest is Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, author of “Allan Pinkerton: America's Legendary Detective and the Birth of Private Security.” We discuss the accomplishments, contradictions, controversies, and legacies of the founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
