In this episode, we discuss the difference between a lie and deceptive language. We dele into the fact that it is hard to lie and why that is. We review a statement from Timothy McVeigh and why he couldn't lie and then we listen to Charlie Sheen explain how he didn't assault a women yet, in the same interview, tell us about assaulting a women. All this and why this podcast will help protect you and your family from fraudsters. Enjoy!  

In this episode, I explain the new direction the podcast is going. Starting next week, the podcast will focus on detection of deception i.e., how to know when you are being lied to or deceived. I will use statements from criminal investigations, such as Casey Anthony or George Zimmerman, to show how deceptive language was used in the statement and how it can be applied to our everyday interactions. Think of this new podcast direction as being where self help meets true crime. 

We spend some time today making fun of AOC, talking about the polls showing how Democrats think Biden is suffering from dementia. We talk about Biden's VP pick and how Nancy Pelosi may be eyeing the VP slot.  We also talk about the polls that show Trump's advantage and then end the episode with an article by Col. Kurt Schlicter about the power of the word No.  

It appears we are engaged in a race war but is it actually a class war between the power elite and the average American. BLM is just a tool that is used to make the rest of us comply with their wishes and to silence people. We dive into that and more.  

In this episode, I discuss the one ingredient needed by all leaders to be effective and successful.

In this episode, I talk with Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jonathan Leach about his life in the US Army, what lessons he has learned through his military experience and we also talk about his knife making skills.
