In the last few weeks we have seen the successful accusation and prosecution of parents held criminally liable for violent behavior on the parts of their children during school shootings in the United States. This turn in the judicial process is raising questions all over the country as people ask themselves whether this is true justice or a violation of individual rights. Today we tackle this question head-on and ask ourselves not only what the purpose is, but what the future holds for this significant change in due process.

The whole world is watching the 2024 election in the United States. With high stakes (and high drama!), the race between former President Donald Trump and candidate VP Kamala Harris is sure to be one for the history books.

After surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, PA, a defiant and proud Trump was whisked away by his secret service detail with blood on his face and his fist high in the sky. While the staunchest anti-Trump and pro-Biden voters out there are unlikely to change their mind, the majority of American voters are still undecided about their final candidate. But in a moment on a hot Pennsylvania afternoon, Trump changed from a villain against democracy to a hero for democracy by taking a bullet in defense of the country he loves – or at least that's how his campaign is gonna spin it!   Find your Spy Superpower: https://yt.everydayspy.com/4bPWfoY Learn more from Andy: https://everydayspy.com/ Join the SpyTribe: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EverydaySpy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayspy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverydaySpy

Technology doesn’t just change your everyday life, it also transforms the battlefield and the face of human conflict.

And recent creations from grenade-dropping drones to self-driving cars speak to a strange new era we face as parents, professionals, and partners. If you are as curious about technology as we are, don’t miss this conversation.

Narrative and propaganda are as real and relevant today as they ever were. And the building blocks for both exist in emotional and rational thinking. Whether you're watching breaking news or reading about the newest fad diet, you are constantly being bombarded with messages that are designed to shape the way you think. In this episode, Jihi and I break down how you can combat the biases built into politics, advertising, and media to keep yourself and your family safe.

Some of the most impactful skills CIA taught me and Jihi had nothing to do with weapons, locks, or lies. In this episode, we are excited to share what we learned about building, training, and improving personal courage. It's not what you think, and not at all what the movies make it look like.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are on strike, in industries from automotive to entertainment. But the history of strikes in America goes back much further than most people realize. And there's a logical reason for why strikes are successful, popular, and on the rise, even though the number of unions in the United States has decreased by almost 300%. Join me and Jihi as we walk through one of the most contentious issues facing America today and what it means for the future of your career, your family, and our economy.

I don’t know how long YouTube will allow this video to stay up. In it, I break down the 3 types of lying techniques President Biden used to influence the American People during his Emergency Presidential address last week. The world is struggling to make sense of what is happening between Israel and Palestine right now. The toll of victims continues to rise, an unprecedented siege of Gaza is expected any day now, and a humanitarian crisis including millions of innocent people is unfolding before our eyes. At the peak of international tensions, US President Biden made an address to encourage the American people to stand with Israel and continue support to Ukraine. While I agree with President Biden that America is a beacon of hope, freedom, and power for the world, I cannot stand aside quietly and let his Presidential address continue to confuse and mislead the same Americans we both swore to protect and defend.

The Hamas incursion into Israel shocked the world, but Israel's response did not. The humanitarian crisis developing in Gaza with each passing day is already capturing the attention of the world within days of the surprise attack. And what comes next is both sad and predictable, in much the same way as Netanyahu's response to the original attack was both sad and predictable.

Every parent worries about the trauma they cause their child. And every adult knows the trauma they endured growing up. But what most people don’t realize is that there is a formula that can turn childhood trauma into high-achievement. The same children that grow up feeling ignored, unloved, and not-good-enough can become the adults that do amazing things. CIA knows the formula, and today Jihi and I are giving it to you.

Either you are uninformed or you're a completeantisemitic sicko. the general wartime ratio of combatants to civilian deaths are 1:9. The U.S. in Iraq achieved 1:4. In Gaza it has been 1:1.5, and that is despite the fact that hamas has been using human shields and dressing like civilians. Do your fucking homework before you say such things!

Your episode titles have almost nothing to do with what you talk about each episode. A+ on titles and C- on content.

Re:the marriage question. If you and your partner do not both score at least the top 70% on conscientiousness on the big 5, do not get married. ESPECIALLY if one of you scores over 70% in openness and is low in concienciosness (that person should not marry period, they are better single). Also, before marriage, take a 2 week vacation together to a country you dont speak the language. Sh*t gets real by day 5, and masks drop off.
