With as much craziness and violence we see in public these days, it's crucial that we as men
00:00:04.940
learn how to effectively protect and defend ourselves and those we love. Fortunately,
00:00:09.600
with a little intentionality and planning, it's not all that difficult to keep ourselves and
00:00:14.000
others safe. Today, I'm joined by former Navy SEAL, FBI agent, and Federal Air Marshal,
00:00:19.380
Jonathan Gilliam, to talk about how to do just that. We cover the concept of preparation versus
00:00:25.060
paranoia, the default of awareness, when to get involved in situations and when not to,
00:00:30.440
the crawl, walk, run theory, and recognizing and neutralizing threats before they occur.
00:00:35.120
You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart
00:00:40.180
your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. You are not
00:00:46.040
easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who you are.
00:00:52.860
This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,
00:01:00.340
Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler. I'm the host and the founder of the
00:01:04.340
Order of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here and welcome back. My audio on this intro sounds a
00:01:10.260
little different than maybe it normally does. That's because I'm away hunting this week and I
00:01:14.480
wanted to make sure I got this episode to you. So I took a break from being out in the field to
00:01:20.340
record this intro and outro so I can get you this incredible episode that I think you guys will get
00:01:24.940
a lot of value from. If you're new to what we're doing here at the Order of Man podcast, it's designed
00:01:29.560
to give you the tools, information, resources, and specifically in the podcast, the conversations
00:01:34.500
that each and every one of us need to thrive and improve our lives as men. So I've got a good one
00:01:41.160
lined up for you today. Before we get into it, I just want to let you know that a great way to
00:01:46.520
support what we're doing is to pick up a copy of my newest book, The Masculinity Manifesto,
00:01:51.580
How a Man Establishes Influence, Credibility, and Authority. So if you would pick it up wherever
00:01:57.060
books are sold, leave a rating and review for the book that goes a long way in promoting the work
00:02:02.200
itself and I think you'll get a lot of value from it. All right, guys, let me introduce you to my
00:02:06.520
guest. His name is Jonathan Gilliam and I'm not sure there's somebody more qualified to talk about
00:02:11.580
personal security and safety than this man. He's a former Navy SEAL, as I said earlier. He also
00:02:16.980
attended Ranger School. He's a Federal Air Marshal Security Specialist for the Department of Homeland
00:02:21.520
Security and also a former special agent with the FBI. In addition, if that's not enough to that,
00:02:27.300
he's got his bachelor's degree, a double major actually in political science and psychology,
00:02:32.600
and he's been featured on over a thousand major media appearances, including Fox News, CNN,
00:02:37.760
and that's NBC. In addition, he has his own podcast, The Experts Podcast, and is the author
00:02:43.880
of Sheep No More, The Art of Awareness and Attack Survival. Enjoy. Jonathan, what's up, brother?
00:02:51.500
Thanks for joining me on the podcast. You got it, my friend. It's good to be here with you.
00:02:55.680
Yeah. You know, what's interesting is you or your team reached out several weeks ago and I had already
00:03:01.680
known about you. I've got your book on my nightstand, in fact. And so when the team reached out,
00:03:06.500
I'm like, oh yeah, I'd love to have Jonathan on because I've read, admittedly, not the entire
00:03:10.780
book, but part of the book. And so when the team reached out, I was like, oh, this is a perfect fit.
00:03:16.860
Yeah. It's, you know, it's interesting. If you've done, if you're tactically minded,
00:03:21.020
you've been in the military or law enforcement, you know, it's going to be a refresher in a lot
00:03:24.960
of ways. Although law enforcement, I'll tell you, they really don't teach a lot of the awareness
00:03:30.140
stuff. You'd be surprised how little, I mean, most people would be surprised how little
00:03:34.680
they actually teach, you know, even in, in the military, the regular people, uh, the, the staff
00:03:41.000
and the, the yeoman and all these people, they do get taught force protection. You know, they do
00:03:47.040
understand, um, how to, that they could be a target, but for some reason in law enforcement,
00:03:52.380
police academies, that is either not being taught or it's forgotten after about three years.
00:03:59.360
Really? So what do they spend most of their time focused on? You would think that would be,
00:04:03.000
uh, I would think, uh, threat awareness. Um, yeah, I would think, uh, calming down situations
00:04:11.000
like deescalating situations. Sure. They do that stuff, but, but like these cops are getting shot,
00:04:17.160
like they're going to a door for a domestic disturbance. Right. And their sole focus is
00:04:23.100
on the person that they're talking to. They don't consider any, any room that I enter, I consider
00:04:29.360
I'm entering a room. Right. So, so if it's a domestic, I don't care if somebody's arguing,
00:04:34.820
if I would, when I was a cop for just a little bit, you know, before I was an air marshal,
00:04:39.100
did all this other stuff. And, but when I was in the FBI, it's the same thing. If I was walking
00:04:44.000
in to interview somebody for that was, um, we did some background checks for people who were,
00:04:50.360
uh, becoming ambassadors. When I walk into the room, I consider that an entry and I clear the
00:04:57.800
corners and I'm very aware of who's in the room and what's going on where hands are. Um, and cops
00:05:05.100
just are not taught tactically that the in-depth part of this. And I think a lot of the times they,
00:05:12.320
now they just save that for SWAT. They don't even teach that to, to regular cops, you know,
00:05:18.460
the true tactics. So, well, and it's not even, yes, police officers, I think would, would do well
00:05:24.920
to know this stuff, but also civilians, guys like you and me and everybody listening to this podcast
00:05:31.180
for the most part. I actually watched a video on Instagram this morning. It was horrific. Uh,
00:05:36.940
it was just a clip, but somebody had walked into, I think it was a McDonald's and went up to what
00:05:43.600
they'd said was an 80 year old man and stabbed him in the side, in the back a couple of times.
00:05:49.120
And then, and then the thing clipped, clipped out and number one, horrific, just, just vile,
00:05:54.780
disgusting. Yes. The other thing I thought is, and I'm not trying to be judgmental. I mean,
00:06:00.960
I put myself in vulnerable situations, but really maybe all it would have taken for that not to have
00:06:05.660
had happen is for that gentleman to sit with his back against the wall instead of his back to the
00:06:09.800
door. Well, this, the whole knockout talk in the book, I do talk about the knockout game.
00:06:15.540
And I wrote that book in 2017. Right. And, uh, I shopped it around for three years and it got
00:06:24.320
turned down and people said it was, uh, um, irrelevant. I remember that was the, the, the
00:06:30.020
biggest review I got from a publisher that says irrelevant. And then I met, um, Anthony
00:06:35.840
Zaccardi with post Hill. And he was like, yes, I'm definitely interested. It's very relevant,
00:06:40.680
but you have to have it done within like a month and a half. So I literally sat down and I already
00:06:46.840
kind of had the process of the book and what I wanted to teach it. And I just pumped it out, um,
00:06:53.200
in about a month. And during that time there was in New York, uh, they were, the knockout game was
00:06:59.440
big where, you know, these gang members or people were just thugs and walk up and they try to knock
00:07:04.060
somebody out with one punch. And so, uh, that's kind of resurfaced now where people are either
00:07:10.960
getting, they're just randomly stabbed or randomly punched. Um, and so, you know, the reality is you
00:07:17.500
have to, you have to look at your environment, especially the environment that you're in day to
00:07:22.180
day. I mean, most people are a bit aware when they go to a, like a special event, they, they do realize
00:07:28.160
stuff's going on around them, but church school work, um, the, uh, nature trail. That's what
00:07:35.840
happened in Raleigh. That kid showed up with a shotgun on a nature trail. Most people just would
00:07:40.720
never think anything's going to happen. And they, uh, they think that gunfire a lot of times is
00:07:46.680
fireworks. And, you know, like I talked to, um, I got hired by a country music star after, uh, the Vegas
00:07:56.520
attack. And so I was with them for a tour for a year, a little less than a year. And, um, uh,
00:08:05.020
they were the headliner the day before at Vegas. And so, uh, I was talking to them and then some
00:08:12.480
other people that, that came and would show up at the concerts, they were there when it happened.
00:08:17.620
And they all said the same thing. Everybody just thought it was fireworks. And I kept asking them,
00:08:21.680
how many, how many concerts have you ever been to where there are fireworks? And, uh, they all,
00:08:27.100
all of them said none, you know, and I was like, so why do you, why did you, what was,
00:08:32.020
why was it the first thing that you assumed, you know, in your life, you should always assume when
00:08:37.740
something occurs, the, the possibility of how bad it could be. And when you look, I understand that,
00:08:44.820
I guess, and I'm just trying to think of, of these scenarios. At what point does it become
00:08:50.260
paranoia and actually a hindrance to living your life versus being prepared and ready for these
00:08:57.440
situations? I, so, you know, even back way back, um, you know, in the 1800s, for instance, right?
00:09:08.680
These people lived on farms in the middle of nowhere and you never knew what was going to,
00:09:12.620
what was going to happen. So they had to assume, especially back in those days, because you had no
00:09:17.920
hospital right around the corner, no paramedics, you were going to be life flotted out. So you had
00:09:23.680
to assume that something, what, what was that that I just heard? You know, what is that, that I,
00:09:29.480
that, uh, I felt like something was sneaking around out there. And these people were very aware of their
00:09:34.000
surroundings and what could be a threat. I think that's the biggest thing. If you just take, um,
00:09:40.680
a week out of your life and look at the different sectors of your life, you know, I go to Walmart a
00:09:46.400
lot and I even get lost when I'm walking into Walmart. Cause I love it. No matter where you go
00:09:51.260
in the United States, it's like being in the South where you go to Walmart. And after, after seeing
00:09:56.000
that, that video of the Buffalo attack, where the guy drove up to the grocery store, it pulled me back.
00:10:03.340
And I realized that, you know, as I approached these stores, that's where he, he just got out
00:10:09.040
and just started killing. And so I I've taken time out of my day to look, reevaluate the sectors of my
00:10:16.480
life so that I don't have to be paranoid. I can understand what's normal and what's not.
00:10:21.560
And, and if I see something that's abnormal, I don't just assume, well, that's fireworks or that's
00:10:27.880
just a weird person. I look at that as the potential threat. And then I already have a
00:10:33.640
plan of action in case that occurs that way. I'm not, I'm not paranoid at all. And if something
00:10:39.020
occurs, I'm good to go. So you're saying that your default is, Hey, let me be aware. Let me see
00:10:45.320
what's going around, around with my surroundings. And then if I recognize things that, you know,
00:10:49.640
I can, I can be more comfortable with, then I can move towards, I don't want to say letting my guard
00:10:55.220
down, but just interacting in a different way than that, uh, than that level of awareness and
00:11:00.000
preparation. Right. You know, and, you know, again, being from the South, I've had rural tendency
00:11:06.800
in my life to get involved, right? When something's occurring, I turn around, I'm like, what's going
00:11:12.440
on? They used to call me the hero in college. Cause I'd always get involved, you know? And so
00:11:17.480
working around, uh, NYPD detectives the whole time I was in the FBI in New York, they really
00:11:23.860
try to instill in me a sense of non-involvement. Do not get involved if you don't have to.
00:11:30.620
So I find that a lot of law enforcement officer. Oh, they, let me tell you, NYPD detectives,
00:11:37.080
if they didn't have to get involved with it, they would not get involved with it. I mean,
00:11:41.060
they're, they weren't bad cops. It's just, if, if it didn't arise to the level of something that was
00:11:46.820
disrupting, like if, if some crazy person was, yeah, you gotta remember this is New York.
00:11:51.640
So some crazy person is over there yelling, uh, they'll take a look at it, but then they're just
00:11:56.620
like, I'm not getting involved in that. They really, wow. Yeah. I remember one time my partner
00:12:01.440
and I were, um, we're waiting on a source actually to come and give us some information.
00:12:06.920
And, uh, we'd been there for like an hour. I was starting to get that mid afternoon puppy
00:12:12.880
tummy where I just kind of tired, you know? And I was like, where is this guy? And my partner,
00:12:18.900
Larry, who was NYPD detective, he goes, Oh, there he is right there. And I'll look over
00:12:22.840
and there's some homeless guy with his pants pulled down right in the middle of everybody
00:12:28.660
taking a huge crap. And, you know, and Larry's just, Larry's just cracking up, but he's not
00:12:35.020
going to get involved with that. Cause that, that's not, he doesn't get involved in that type
00:12:39.180
of stuff. He's a detective, you know, he's working, you know, specific crimes. So, um, it,
00:12:45.140
once you live in somewhere like New York and I was there for 16 years, you start to realize that
00:12:50.740
there's, there's things that you get involved with and there's just things that you don't,
00:12:54.740
you know? And if you hear somebody yelling at the counter at, at Walmart or the grocery store,
00:13:01.080
you can monitor it, but it may not be your thing to get involved in. So how do you,
00:13:07.160
it's okay to walk away. What's the, what the, what is the litmus test for that as a civilian
00:13:11.480
where, you know, maybe you hear somebody raising their voice or here's one that you might encounter.
00:13:16.220
I think this would actually probably be common. Um, you know, maybe a man getting a little, uh,
00:13:21.280
loud, uh, verbally, uh, with, with another, either man or, or a woman. Uh, at what point does a
00:13:29.780
civilian consider getting involved in something like that? Well, they can get involved whenever they
00:13:35.540
want, but what I always recommend is use the, use the instruction that security guards are given that
00:13:40.980
you, you are basically a monitor with a phone. And if it rises to a level where people are fighting,
00:13:48.760
uh, or somebody's yelling at a checkout stand, um, it's better just to sit back and monitor from
00:13:56.360
afar or walk away and call 9-1-1 and say, there's something going on at Walmart right now.
00:14:01.020
You know, I keep using Walmart for reference. Cause that's where I go shopping and stuff for
00:14:05.180
groceries and stuff, but you know, it could be any place. It could be at a movie theater and you hear,
00:14:09.860
you know, something going on, it's better for you to monitor the situation and then call law
00:14:16.540
enforcement. When you say better, is it to keep yourself out of obviously harm's way to let law
00:14:22.540
enforcement do what they do? There's probably some risk of even potentially getting yourself in trouble
00:14:27.780
with, with the law. Yeah, that's the thing. There's cameras everywhere now. And, um, you know,
00:14:34.580
you can look up, uh, if you Google my name and, uh, fight in Washington, DC, you'll see all these
00:14:41.840
stories come up because I got jumped by a bunch of, um, people who literally work for the, for Obama
00:14:48.340
and Biden. And, uh, there was a, uh, a women for Trump, uh, at the Willard hotel, one of the most
00:14:54.720
prestigious hotels in DC. So there's women for Trump and I was the keynote speaker there. And then this
00:14:59.740
wedding that was like all these like hard liberals in there. And when I mean hard, they're like just
00:15:07.280
deep liberal. They're really leftists, you know, but, uh, so the, and these were people who worked
00:15:11.660
for Boeing. One girl was a spokesperson for the peace Corps and, um, uh, some attorneys and stuff.
00:15:19.140
And these people are so twisted in their brain that they started, um, following people in the bathroom
00:15:25.280
and calling them, uh, Trump, uh, C words and cussing them out and all this stuff. And, um, so all these
00:15:33.220
women had to leave and I was escorting them out. And, um, one guy kept starting stuff. And, uh, I told
00:15:40.380
the women, you know, I'm going to go towards this guy and push him back to get him out of the way.
00:15:45.660
And I want you all to go. And cause there was just me and one other guy there and we were escorting
00:15:50.240
him out. And, um, you know, I got jumped by him and like six dudes. And, um, I hadn't thought that
00:15:57.440
situation through. I was wearing a tie and I was just trying to get the guy out of the way,
00:16:01.720
but they freaking jumped me and were choking me out with my tie. Luckily that other guy came up there
00:16:07.020
and, um, we were able to, uh, I was able to break free and I broke one dude's nose and he ended up
00:16:12.920
getting arrested. I didn't, nothing happened to me. But the key, the reason I was telling the whole story
00:16:17.020
is that when the cops came there, I told them, I said, there's cameras everywhere. I know that
00:16:22.760
there's cameras everywhere. I mean, I'm former FBI agent, uh, go pull the cameras and you'll see.
00:16:28.180
And they did, they went and pulled the cameras and watched the whole thing. So, um, there's
00:16:34.160
cameras everywhere. You said they, they worked for, uh, Obama and Biden. What, what makes you say that?
00:16:41.220
Oh, cause I know who they were. Cause they ended up, uh, the, when, when we had all their names,
00:16:47.020
after the thing happened and we looked them up and they had worked for, uh, the Obama and Biden
00:16:53.120
campaigns. Um, Terry McAuliffe was there. The guy that I think he was, uh, governor of Virginia or
00:16:59.700
something like that. Yeah. So he was there, he had left prior to this. So a lot of these people were
00:17:05.580
aides, like the one girl I was telling you, she was the, uh, the, um, spokesperson for the peace
00:17:11.460
corps. So there were all these people that were in government. Um, and like the guy that was the
00:17:16.800
executive for Boeing was a big donor. Uh, his, his, uh, profile came off of Boeing's page as soon
00:17:24.900
at right after two days after that, cause they got popular real quick for the wrong reasons.
00:17:29.480
Oh, I bet. So they weren't necessarily in the administration. They were more campaigning for
00:17:35.080
Biden, Obama, et cetera. Campaigners and yeah. And advisors. I think one of them may have worked.
00:17:41.240
It's been, you know, that was, when was that? 2019. So I don't even remember. Yeah. I mean,
00:17:47.740
not really that long ago. Wasn't that long ago, but, uh, yeah, it was interesting. I just never
00:17:53.660
experienced anything like that from people that, uh, you know, I've been in law enforcement,
00:17:57.840
done all this stuff, been in fights, but I'd never experienced people, you know, that are,
00:18:04.580
you can tell that they are educated and they're, they have money and, and they were just the hatred
00:18:10.780
in these people was unbelievable. And I was caught off guard. I just was not, I was in the Willard
00:18:15.700
hotel, one block away from the white house. I just did not expect that to occur. But at one point
00:18:21.040
I had like six people on top of me. Well, so what, so knowing what you, what you experienced in that
00:18:26.820
moment, what would you have done differently if you were to go through that experience again?
00:18:31.480
Uh, well, you know, having done all security I've done, and I was coming from being a keynote
00:18:35.920
speaker, I don't wear ties. Okay. I don't, I don't wear a tie if I'm doing security or if I'm going to
00:18:42.160
go somewhere. Um, if, unless I have to get on stage and wear a tie or I'm on a show, I just don't wear
00:18:48.060
ties. They're like, it's just a news around your neck. Sure. Huge. I mean, you should saw my neck and I was
00:18:55.900
going out. I was about to pass out when that, the other guy that was with us, uh, just literally
00:19:02.240
pushed the whole group and it was enough for me to break free and grab my tie and nail that dude
00:19:08.240
right in the face. And, uh, yeah, that was, it was interesting. I mean, they, they could have,
00:19:14.640
they could have killed me. And of course, easily. And it was, it was just a bizarre, a bizarre night,
00:19:20.640
bizarre moment. But so that was one of the things, uh, I tell you this, it was so violent.
00:19:25.960
I, my suit coat was ripped completely from here to there. If you ever take a suit coat and try to rip
00:19:33.400
it, that's some hard material. And it was ripped completely all the way to the back. And, um, so,
00:19:40.420
you know, I don't wear ties. Um, I was escorting these women. And again, I was trying to get them up
00:19:48.500
and out of these stairs and we got bottlenecked on these big, uh, marble stairs. And, um, and that
00:19:54.840
was a threat zone. That was a, a critical area. Right. And I didn't identify that area. Cause I
00:20:01.520
thought we were just going to walk right up and just go straight on through. And cause I, I did not
00:20:06.140
identify this threat. So, you know, that was kind of a doing security at the spare of the moment.
00:20:13.820
And I think, um, if you're going to take any responsibility on, or if you're just moving
00:20:19.620
through an environment, you can be at a concert or whatever, you still have to be aware of the
00:20:24.620
possibility of what could happen. And I just, I just was not aware. I was totally lost in that
00:20:30.940
moment for some, for me, with all this stuff that I've done in that moment, I just didn't think
00:20:36.600
anything was going to occur. But it sounds like, it sounds like even in that situation, it was a
00:20:41.900
level of complacency that, uh, that created that environment. Well, not created the environment,
00:20:45.900
but, but put you in that specific unique situation. Right. Right. Cause I would have
00:20:50.520
probably in retrospect, I would just held the ladies, close the door to the, to the banquet
00:20:56.660
hall and called 9-1-1. Did you know that that crowd was out there at the time? Like, did you know
00:21:02.560
that there was protesters and, and, and, and they said, they weren't so no, we knew I know they
00:21:07.920
were just in that wedding next door or whatever. Okay. Got it. It was, it was a wedding next
00:21:11.680
door. So we had the, our banquet and they had their wedding next door and they literally,
00:21:16.200
uh, the drunker they got, the, the more nasty they became. I mean, they were literally following
00:21:22.140
some of these women into the bathroom. Some of these women were like in their seventies.
00:21:26.620
There were a couple of juveniles and they were following them in the bathroom,
00:21:31.060
cursing them out in the bathroom. All right, guys, let me hit the pause button on the conversation
00:21:36.060
very quickly. We're now into the fourth quarter of 2022. And if you're anything like the millions of

00:22:21.060
show for now. Let's get back to it with Jonathan. I don't understand the level of just hate and
00:22:27.060
hostility and vitriol. I understand disagreements. I understand seeing things differently,
00:22:30.980
but just the level to which it's taken, even just verbally is just, is nasty. It's this complete
00:22:38.220
nastiness. And then let alone when it gets physical. I'll tell you something. What has changed
00:22:44.220
for me that viewing all this stuff is that, so this book I'm writing now started out as a leadership book
00:22:51.540
and trying to teach people the crawl, walk, run theory of how to, you know, become whatever you want to
00:22:57.960
become. And my, my focus has always been, you have to know God first. You have to have a relationship
00:23:04.580
with God before you can really achieve anything in your life to the, to the full extent that it can
00:23:12.300
be achieved. Why, why do you, what makes you say that? I'm not necessarily in disagreement, but I'm
00:23:17.440
very curious what makes you say that. I've always believed that, you know, we're here for a reason
00:23:23.480
and we have, we all have certain talents and we all have certain drives in our minds and we, you know,
00:23:30.900
we want to do this or we think we're good at that. And, um, I believe that that's inputted into us by
00:23:37.140
God and that he's training us. This is bootcamp. And then when we die and we go into the next life,
00:23:43.480
you know, when Christ has his thousand year reign, that that is where, you know, we're going,
00:23:48.780
that's where you go and you do your advanced training and that's where you prove yourself.
00:23:53.000
But a lot of it's based, I believe in, uh, the calling that we have here, which gives us a
00:24:00.040
specific set of skills if we follow that calling. So as I studied, you know, this and for the past
00:24:07.740
six months, I've been, you know, every night I'm, uh, working on this stuff, writing and listening to
00:24:13.460
the different aspects of the Bible. It's an old Testament, the new Testament. And the one thing
00:24:17.720
that has came out of me that I've started, the knowledge has kind of come in it, uh, through all this
00:24:22.740
is that evil has, has a hierarchy. And, uh, when you look at the way things are now in the world,
00:24:33.160
there is a hierarchy of evil of badness. You know, you have street level crime, you have activists,
00:24:41.040
you have big money donors, you have the educated elite, the politicians. And when they start popping,
00:24:48.140
it's, it's, it's very interesting that the vitriol, the hatred, it's not really, you can't trace it
00:24:55.380
back. It goes right off a cliff. Um, and it comes back, whether you're talking about abortion or you're
00:25:00.560
talking about, uh, which politician you like or whatever, there's never any dialogue. It is literally,
00:25:06.280
um, it is pure hatred now. And, but it's a, it's more of an influence than it is a person saying,
00:25:15.020
I hate you. It's almost as if they're being whispered to in their ear and, and they're listening
00:25:20.480
to that, you know, so different people and with different statures have different types of influence,
00:25:30.360
you know, of a politician and the way that they act. Um, and the guidance that they seem to be
00:25:36.340
getting these days seems to be very coordinated and the hatred seems to be very coordinated.
00:25:44.280
So these are all things that, that now that I'm seeing this, I can stand back and you can literally
00:25:49.700
see, uh, a rank structure. You can see the flow. Um, you can see the, um, the people that are just,
00:25:58.500
they just don't even know a lot of the times why they're angry, but they, they are literally a part
00:26:05.480
of a group think in how they feel no individuality at all. They hate, they hate the same amount about
00:26:12.400
the same things as this 10 million other people. Yeah. I mean, there is that group think I've always
00:26:18.880
been curious about. So you're, you're, you're saying it's coming from a, from a supernatural place
00:26:23.640
is what you're saying, if I'm understanding you correctly and not coming from just something we've
00:26:27.220
concocted out of our own imagination or our own cultural beliefs, et cetera, et cetera.
00:26:32.360
I don't think human beings are, are that good at doing like, if you took a million human beings
00:26:38.580
who were free thinkers and you said, I want to build this structure, you know, there might be a
00:26:44.480
thousand people come up with the same structure, but most of those people are going to come up with
00:26:48.000
different ways. They're going to want to be in charge. And, you know, they're, you know,
00:26:52.940
I mean, we're in the seal teams as an officer, you know, I would, I would go to battle with those
00:26:57.960
guys any day and conquer anybody, but you tell them to build a pallet to put on a plane. And there's
00:27:04.280
a good chance there's going to be a fight because this guy thinks it should be done that way. And
00:27:07.880
that guy thinks it should be done that way, you know? And, but when, when I look at the behavior
00:27:13.100
of human beings in, in this hatred type of environment, um, I reflect back on, on the Bible
00:27:20.100
where, um, when Satan was cast out, Adam, he was cast out a third of all the heavenly, uh, entities
00:27:29.700
went with Satan. So one third and many times, uh, at least three times in the Bible, um, they say
00:27:37.480
that there's in heaven, there's 10,000 times 10,000 and even a thousand and more, uh, heavenly
00:27:44.980
hosts. Right. So that's a hundred million minimum. So if you, if you do the math, 30 million of
00:27:52.160
these entities were cast onto the earth and they've been here as long as mankind has. So when you see
00:27:58.320
now, when you sit back, now that I've told you that you sit back and you watch how this flows,
00:28:04.380
it's pretty phenomenal when you sit back and you, and there has to be an influence other than
00:28:10.840
just human beings, figuring it out exactly the same on who to hate for no reason.
00:28:16.540
I, I mean, I'm just trying to wrap my head around. I, I, I look, here's what I believe is that we,
00:28:21.600
human beings are fallen, right? We're, we're sinful fallen creatures or what you say, entities,
00:28:26.360
hosts, whatever you want to call it. Um, and I'm just wondering if, and I'm not even trying to play
00:28:33.280
devil's advocate. I'm just, I'm trying to wrap my head around it. If we're just so fallen that it's
00:28:38.560
our natural tendency to fight, to, uh, have animosity, to fall into group think that that actually is
00:28:46.740
something that I think is evolutionarily hardwired into us as group think so that we can survive as
00:28:51.160
a group. Is it, is it more of that? Like, uh, looking for the easy path. We're lazy. We're
00:28:56.900
immediate gratification. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just wondering what else it could also be.
00:29:03.280
I don't know. I, I haven't studied human beings, right? Since I was in college. I mean, I,
00:29:11.060
first of all, I grew up with three sisters, no brothers, right? So I was exposed to evil from a
00:29:15.300
very early stage. So, cause as we say in the teams, women are evil. They will bring you down.
00:29:21.360
I'm just kidding. So no, no backlash now, but my, I grew up with three sisters, no brothers in the
00:29:26.060
middle of Arkansas, right? Nowhere, nobody else around. So, um, I, I looked at the world just
00:29:32.340
differently than most people do, I think, because I grew up alone. You know, I had these sisters,
00:29:37.300
um, that were not weak by any means. And then when I went to college, I studied political science and
00:29:44.560
psychology. And, uh, and so then I went into law enforcement and then I went to seal teams and,
00:29:50.480
you know, in all those environments, when I was an air marshaled in the FBI, I was constantly observing
00:29:56.480
people. Right. And so I do know groupthink, I know what groupthink looks like. And I, I especially
00:30:03.700
know what groupthink looks like when they're working together to survive or solve a problem.
00:30:08.680
But the groupthink that I, that I see now is so rampant and out of control that, uh, the,
00:30:17.640
some of the influence comes from the department of education, for instance, people are being,
00:30:21.260
young people are being groomed, social media, but the similarities amongst all those things is so,
00:30:29.820
it's, it's so finite. Like it is like, you don't see, uh, the department of education
00:30:36.400
guiding people differently than social media. It's the same guide. They're pushing them to this one
00:30:41.940
direction. You see politicians doing the same thing. You see it happening, uh, clear across the
00:30:48.160
world in the, in the middle of nowhere. Um, you go down to central South America. When I used to work
00:30:53.460
down there, it was highly Catholic, um, very structured. Now you go down there and it's just
00:31:00.560
destroyed down there and the people are constantly on their phone. You know, there it's become more of a
00:31:07.320
salacious type of atmosphere down there, everywhere down there and very socialistic Columbia. We,
00:31:13.780
we operated in Columbia. So those people could have their freedom. And this year they elected a
00:31:19.140
socialist government. Hmm. Right. So there's this, there's this shift happening in the world
00:31:25.900
that is so structured that I don't think it's just group think it's just too structured and too, um,
00:31:35.220
widespread. The breadth and scope of this is just, it's amazing when you look around the world
00:31:39.740
and how exactly, uh, uniformed all these people are acting and how it amounts to nothing.
00:31:47.160
Like their hatred goes right off a cliff. They want to kill babies. They can't justify anything
00:31:53.500
except for it should be their right. You know, it's like, there's, there's all these arguments go
00:31:58.480
right off a cliff, but there's, I don't, I don't have them. I think, I think you might be saying that
00:32:04.100
because you're a logical person and, and I, and I try to be too. I think most of us at least strive
00:32:10.180
to be reasonable and logical. And in a lot of these types of, well, I think they're evil. I would agree
00:32:17.740
with you there. These evil thoughts, uh, are, are not, they're, they're not logical. They're,
00:32:22.600
they're emotional. And so that's why we can't, we can't follow them to any definite source like you
00:32:28.720
can with logic. When you, when you're speaking logically, it's like, well, okay, we don't do
00:32:33.540
that because dot, dot, dot. And you can trace that back to a source for, it could be the betterment
00:32:38.360
of society. It could be, you know, the betterment of the individual. Like there's a lot of reasons
00:32:42.720
logic could draw you to, but emotional is like, well, just, it doesn't feel good. Well, explain that.
00:32:48.320
Oh, I can't. It just doesn't feel like it should be. It's so emotion doesn't really go back to
00:32:53.700
something that you can pinpoint. Right. And it's interesting. Let me grab this thing. I,
00:32:58.380
um, so I was on Fox yesterday and I, I tried to pull a Carl Rove. And so I wrote this board right
00:33:04.440
here with, with good and bad. Right. And, and, and so when I'm looking at stuff from an investigative
00:33:10.140
standpoint, um, I look at who is benefiting from whatever behavior there is, is there any transparency?
00:33:19.300
Um, can I track it back to a certain group or a certain person? And is there a positive or negative
00:33:25.140
outcome of it? So when you look at good, you, you will see that when somebody does something that's
00:33:31.260
good, it typically benefits others. When somebody does something that's bad, it benefits themselves,
00:33:37.700
right? When somebody does something good, it's usually transparent. Like you can, you can see
00:33:44.720
the reason why they did it. When somebody does something bad, it's usually masked as something
00:33:51.340
good or honorable, but really when you, when you dig into it, it's not at all, it's bad.
00:33:56.840
Right. So, and then tracking it is the same way. If it's, if it's transparent and then you can track
00:34:03.180
it back to who's doing the good thing, but if it's bad, there's going to be structuring involved,
00:34:09.520
which keeps you from, or at least they attempt to keep you from being able to track where this bad
00:34:15.740
behavior is, is, is originating. And then this is such a huge one is that when somebody does
00:34:23.160
something that's good, it's usually a positive action for others, right? Or yourself, but it's
00:34:29.320
a positive action. But when somebody does something that's bad, somebody is going to get something out
00:34:36.540
of it, but somebody is always going to have a negative effect from that. So, you know, when we look
00:34:43.780
at, at all these things, we look at COVID for instance, and we look at how doctors were making
00:34:49.480
political decisions with medicine. It's the weirdest thing. I don't remember in my lifetime that ever
00:34:55.320
happening to the extent that it did. Right. Again, it's, it's structured and it, and it's being pushed
00:35:03.520
to where you have to think this way or that way. Uh, there's no rhyme or reason people hate you
00:35:10.280
because you say the word I've umectin and then other people hate other people for wearing a mask,
00:35:15.240
you know? And I, I have no problem if somebody wants to wear a mask. I mean, I think it's kind
00:35:21.220
of ridiculous when they're outside jogging with a mask on still or something like that, but I'm not,
00:35:25.880
that's a little vitriol towards that person. Oh, I don't know. They can do whatever they,
00:35:29.480
if they feel like that makes them safer, then that's fine. Um, but there's people that literally
00:35:34.200
want to go to blows because somebody is wearing a mask, right? You know? So it's really, it's
00:35:39.820
literally on both sides of, of, of the political aisle. But what was amazing to me was to see
00:35:45.680
doctors, um, or I go to pharmacy, my, my doctor prescribed me ovumectin and, um, and I could not
00:35:53.380
get it filled. They just wouldn't fill it. And now there's studies showing that it does have a,
00:35:58.240
an effect on, um, literally stopping the COVID virus right in his tracks.
00:36:04.200
There's all these studies out now and they wouldn't even, they wouldn't even look at that.
00:36:08.140
So again, going back on what I was saying before, the structure of all this, um, it really does it,
00:36:15.680
once you understand this, uh, or you at least look at it in the, in that way, that there's a structure
00:36:21.300
and a rank to evil. Um, you start to see things like you would in the military where,
00:36:26.760
you know, there's useful idiots who do what they're told. Then there's the mid-level managers who,
00:36:32.920
you know, are given the orders and they make sure everybody else carries it out. And then
00:36:36.720
there's the people are a little bit higher than them. And then there's these, these weirdos that
00:36:41.740
it seems like the executives, whether it's an evil or whether it's in military or law enforcement
00:36:47.700
or politics, you can only climb to a certain level. The rest of the way up, you have to be pulled up.
00:36:54.020
You're not going to make general or admiral or deputy director, unless you're pulled up,
00:36:59.600
you know, you're not going to climb that ladder based on success. So I see the same thing when it
00:37:04.680
comes to the evil in the world. Hmm. Interesting. I look, I want to shift gears a little. It is,
00:37:10.660
it's interesting stuff. I mean, that's, I, and I wish we had the answer. I wish we could figure it
00:37:15.440
out because maybe if we had the answer, then we could get to the root of it and, and route it out
00:37:19.900
and I'll live a better life, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Uh, I do want to get back
00:37:24.920
to what we were addressing earlier, uh, with regards to your book, you talk about this concept
00:37:29.620
of, uh, attack planners versus eminent, eminent attackers. And I I'm, I'm really curious about
00:37:36.260
that because this comes back to that concept of being aware of your surroundings, being out in
00:37:41.480
an environment, looking for threats, analyzing, figuring out, are you in danger? Are you not?
00:37:46.200
Are you safe? All these types of things. So I I'd really be curious to hear your take on that.
00:37:50.200
Yeah. So this is interesting because when, when you look at, uh, an imminent attacker,
00:37:55.180
or let's say that it's an unplanned attack, right? And I think that's what you were getting
00:38:00.020
at. Like there's people who there's, there's attackers who are methodical in the way that
00:38:05.620
they plan. I mean, whether it's a pickpocket, a pedophile or rapist, um, direct action, you
00:38:12.640
know, seal team or special forces or ranger or whatever, you know, these are people who,
00:38:17.420
um, build target packages. Right. And now a pedophile may not build the same target package
00:38:24.060
as, um, a steel platoon, but they do work very similar to a CIA operations officer who will go
00:38:33.180
in and groom, uh, somebody that they want to flip to use, to go get information. Right. So a pedophile
00:38:40.580
will groom a family and over a period of time or a church or a youth group, and then they'll work
00:38:49.200
their way into that one specific target. But when you look at, um, something that's imminent,
00:38:54.800
something that is a target of opportunity, I think that's a better word for it. Um, even those
00:39:01.120
individuals at three o'clock in the morning in 2018, cause this is when I was on tour with that,
00:39:08.620
uh, country music singer, uh, in Nashville, Tennessee, uh, a guy that's schizophrenic took
00:39:15.140
all his clothes off, took a rifle and then identified a soft target at three in the morning,
00:39:21.220
which is waffle house in the South at three o'clock in the morning on a weekend. That's the
00:39:27.200
only place you're probably going to find people is at a waffle house. And, uh, he identified a soft
00:39:33.820
target and he hadn't planned it, nothing. He just freaked out, took his clothes off, got his rifle
00:39:39.500
and identified that's where people are. And I'm going to go in there. So if people understood what,
00:39:46.800
uh, critical areas, a critical time for that area, the avenues of approach that a bad guy can take
00:39:55.280
and the vulnerabilities that they look for to exploit. If you just looked at those things,
00:40:00.280
you're, you're going to be able to do your own target packages very quickly on everywhere you go
00:40:05.900
and quickly say, is this likely to be something that somebody attacks or is it not?
00:40:11.940
Yeah. But how do you, I mean, that, that, that all makes sense, but how do you determine that?
00:40:16.520
Let's say it's three in the morning and you want to go into waffle house. Like, yeah, I mean,
00:40:20.940
there's no, there's nothing that would make you think that this is a, an eminent threat to me by
00:40:28.020
showing up to waffle house at 3am on a, you know, Tuesday night or whatever.
00:40:32.800
No, but well, yes and no. Like, so, you know, at three in the morning and Nashville, Tennessee,
00:40:38.920
that if you're hungry, that the place where you're probably going to go eat is where the only place
00:40:44.600
where people are going to go, go to. So if something happens at three in the morning,
00:40:48.600
it's probably going to be somewhere around there. Right. Okay. So, so you can kind of see that,
00:40:54.540
right? Well, I get that. And the interesting, interesting thing about this is that at three
00:40:59.640
in the morning, this guy, if you've been to a waffle house, the entire front of its glass,
00:41:04.400
the guy was naked and had a rifle and nobody even noticed that he was walking into the waffle house.
00:41:10.160
He was literally in the waffle house before he started shooting. And one guy jumped up,
00:41:15.420
I think like eight people, six or eight people were shot. And one guy jumped up and fought him
00:41:20.580
and got the gun away from him. And the guy took off running. And then it took a while for the cops
00:41:25.920
to find him. So, so even law enforcement wasn't thinking where could a mass attack happen at three
00:41:33.340
in the morning? Is it possible? Yeah. A waffle house. So they could add patrol units in the area
00:41:39.200
thinking that if anything ever happens, it could be that place.
00:41:44.360
Yeah, they could, but you could, I mean, taken to the extreme, you could say, well, you know,
00:41:47.920
I'm much safer statistically. I assume this is true. I'm just throwing this out there.
00:41:54.280
Statistically, I'm much safer being here in my office than going to the bank later and the
00:42:00.040
taxidermist, which are two errands I need to run. But I still need to go to the bank and I still need
00:42:04.740
to go to the taxidermist. Right. So that's where, that's where I'm wondering if it crosses that line
00:42:08.820
of paranoia, because you talk about like having a patrol unit. It's like, yeah, you could, but how
00:42:15.000
do you, you see what I'm saying? So you're going to go to the bank and you go to the taxidermist.
00:42:19.360
You, I'm assuming that you've been to both those places before. So you know what's normal and you
00:42:23.720
know what's not. Sure. Right. So a taxidermist is going to have a very, uh, I mean, you could pretty
00:42:29.360
much spot most likely who's going to walk in and to get something, you know, and what they would look
00:42:35.080
like, you know, and for them to have a rifle in their truck at, you know, that wouldn't be,
00:42:40.640
or blood on their hands in any other context might be sketchy at the taxidermist. Yeah. That actually
00:42:48.120
is par for the course. Right. But if somebody walks up there and they have sporadic behavior,
00:42:53.800
I think most people going to the taxidermist aren't freaking out or they're not, um, uh,
00:43:00.040
they may have the rifle with them, but, uh, there's just, you can see what's normal behavior
00:43:04.940
and what's not the same thing at a bank. And so you go to these places. If you just once ask your
00:43:10.820
question, what's normal behavior here? If you ever see it, that's not normal. You will be ready to
00:43:17.780
react. You will already have identified that that's not normal. That's a great thing.
00:43:23.520
That's such a great question. It's such a simple question. Is this normal? I actually do this with
00:43:28.940
my kids. Like if we go to Walmart, I'll, I say, Hey, you know, look, look before you get out of the
00:43:33.500
car, look around, always look around before you get into a car. That's something I teach them.
00:43:37.960
Uh, cause you're vulnerable. If you're just sitting there, uh, that that's a pretty vulnerable
00:43:43.260
position. And, and then I look around and when we look around, I'm like, is there anything that
00:43:48.720
looks out of the ordinary? And they're like, uh, no, like, cool. Then let's go. Is there anything that
00:43:53.220
looks, that looks, uh, that looks like it shouldn't be there? And, and one time my oldest son saw this
00:43:59.920
guy and I can't exactly remember the scenario, but he was in a van. He, it looked weird. It looked
00:44:04.680
weird to me. And I said, okay, well, that's good. You recognize that let's, let's just keep an eye on
00:44:10.600
it. Like, let's just watch and keep an eye on it and we'll proceed about our business, but let's,
00:44:15.820
let's be aware and vigilant, but that's such a simple question. That's so easy to ask. And so easy to answer.
00:44:20.300
And even a child can say, is that even a child knows what's normal? You know, they'll come home
00:44:26.620
and tell you, you know, little Bobby is not normal at school. I mean, they, even they know, you know,
00:44:31.900
you know, what's interesting though, too, with that, that I, that I noticed when we do that
00:44:35.540
is I think it was in this instance or maybe another instance where, where they said to me,
00:44:42.520
well, I just felt bad because I didn't, I didn't want, how did they word it? Something like,
00:44:47.220
I didn't want them to think I was staring at them or thought they were weird. It's like,
00:44:52.160
we're so overly concerned with how other people feel that we're willing to put ourselves in harm's
00:44:57.840
way because we don't want to be bigoted or, or maybe racist or any profiling, like any of these
00:45:06.240
things that have a negative connotation with them. Or even like with, with, um, homeless people in New
00:45:11.820
York, you know, I caught myself there for a while, not only not making eye contact, but telling other
00:45:19.480
people, just don't make eye contact with them because they're going to come at you. But you
00:45:23.260
know, in order to be aware, you should not necessarily make eye contact, but you should
00:45:28.720
be aware of that person. And there's been several cases where in Miami, I remember a video. I don't
00:45:36.700
remember if I talked about this in the book or not, but, um, a girl in South beach had a purse
00:45:42.320
with a gun in it. And it was like, I don't know, a one 30 in the morning. And so she's walking down
00:45:48.920
the sidewalk and some guy walks across the road towards her. So she's thinking it's one o'clock
00:45:56.180
in the morning of South beach. He's probably going to come hit on me. So she looks, she looks away.
00:46:00.980
She doesn't want to make eye contact. Well, he comes up and robs her and with a gun, takes her
00:46:06.980
purse and her gun and, uh, and leaves her there. And so, you know, you do need to be aware of these
00:46:13.760
things. And there was a, there was another circumstance with a child that, um, one of
00:46:17.760
these school shootings that happened several years ago, um, one of the kids that survived,
00:46:23.320
he was six and his dad told him, if you ever hear anything, assume it's gunshots. And I want you
00:46:32.140
to get out of that building and run into the woods and, and either run home or just keep going and get
00:46:39.260
away from there. And that kid did. And he lived. Wow. I don't remember what school that was. It
00:46:43.860
might've been, um, what's the one that Alex Jones just got in trouble for. Oh, uh, Columbine
00:46:50.040
wasn't it? No, no parks park parkland. Yeah. Parkland. No, no, wait. No, no, no. Parkland
00:46:56.120
down in Florida. Right. The one up in, in, uh, in Connecticut was the, um, yeah, I, I know. I
00:47:03.480
don't remember. There's so many now, but I think that's where it was. And I think the kid just kept
00:47:07.540
running into the woods. He's six years old. So you can teach and not be paranoid or learn and not be
00:47:15.400
paranoid. What, what's normal, what's not. Um, and it actually helps you develop a plan. Whereas
00:47:20.640
if something occurs, I'm, I'm going this way. Yeah. I'm pulling up this out. This Alex Jones
00:47:27.120
thing is bothering me. Uh, yeah, I forgot. Um, it's like right on the tip of my tongue, Sandy
00:47:33.140
hook, Sandy hook. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you the older I get, I'm 53 right now at names.
00:47:42.280
I can remember faces forever. I can remember situations. I can remember quotes from movies,
00:47:47.460
but names for some reason just escaped me. They escaped me. I don't know why. Yeah.
00:47:53.420
Hey, Jonathan, I got to tell you, man, I appreciate you. I I'm glad that we could do this. I, like I
00:47:57.960
said, I've got your book on the nightstand, uh, and I'm going to finish it. I commit to finishing
00:48:02.100
it. Uh, but what I've, what I've learned so far has been valuable for me because I've been able to
00:48:05.960
share that with my kids and even just having this conversation, you know, hopefully there's just
00:48:09.680
something that somebody got listening to this, that they do things a little differently. They
00:48:13.300
get out of the car differently. They put their back to the wall or they're just more aware.
00:48:16.800
They look for that baseline. I love that question. What's normal behavior for where I am. It's a
00:48:21.440
great list litmus test. So I appreciate the work. Tell me, uh, where we can connect with you,
00:48:26.560
learn more about what you're doing, including your book, uh, sheep no more. And it sounds like you
00:48:30.380
might have another book coming out soon ish. Well, it's, it'll probably be next summer when it
00:48:35.700
comes out. The supply chain has killed everything. You used to be able to get a book out in like
00:48:39.100
three months and now it takes half a year or a year. Let me say before I go, let me say one other
00:48:45.140
thing about that. When you ask yourself what's normal and what's not right. Bad people ask the
00:48:51.540
same question, but they're asking the question because they're trying to use what's normal so
00:48:58.520
that they can find their avenue of approach to get in, right. And attack. Yeah. So when you ask
00:49:06.000
yourself that say, well, what's normal behavior and then ask yourself, well, if I was going to
00:49:11.500
attack me at this location, you know, knowing that, how would I act with it? Cause at some point
00:49:19.980
the bad person has to go from acting normal to acting abnormal. Yes. It may be a split second,
00:49:27.340
but there's going to be a period where their behavior changes. So you have to ask yourself,
00:49:31.780
not only what's normal, but what if, if, when I, when I, if I was to attack my, if I was coming
00:49:39.160
here to attack, what is the behavior that's going to signal me? What is not normal? And, um, and so
00:49:46.260
once you see that from the attacker's perspective, which is what my book's all about, you're going to
00:49:50.560
be able to really, uh, hone it in and really identify the avenues of approach, the vulnerabilities,
00:49:57.560
uh, the times that are critical, you know, um, and then the times when they're not a theater that may
00:50:03.860
be critical at 7 PM is not that critical at 7 AM, you know? So, yeah. So that's the way you can look
00:50:10.840
at it. So anyway, they can, they, you know, you can find me on any social media, just Jonathan T.
00:50:15.540
Gilliam. If people get the book and they have questions, they can direct message me, but, uh,
00:50:22.280
just make sure that they note that they want to ask a question about the book because I get a lot of
00:50:26.160
weirdos on there trying to ask me questions about crazy stuff. So, um, but any, I'm on all the social
00:50:31.140
media platforms and, um, and the book is available wherever they want to order it. I mean, some people
00:50:36.380
like Amazon, some people hate Amazon, some people have Walmart. Now they're mad at Walmart. So,
00:50:40.940
but it's available at all of them. Right. Um, we'll sync it all up. So the guys know where to go.
00:50:45.120
Jonathan, thanks again. Appreciate you. Appreciate your work. And thanks for joining us today.
00:50:48.700
