I have inside information on Jeffrey Epstein. And why the the US government is reluctant to be more transparent. And I know this because when I was working in government, meetings were not, "How shall we tell the public?" but, "What shall we tell the public?" So, often the best we can get in our skepticism is to know that we are not being told the truth. I think people need to know the truth. So, put on your seat belt. I'm going to tell you everything. And all senior people in the US government know everything that you and I have discussed here today. So, you've been behind the scenes with some of the most successful, richest, most powerful people on planet Earth. But, what is it you do, Gavin? So, I do protective coverage. You know, any of the ways that wealthy or prominent people might be targeted. For example, the Saudi Arabian government obtained a system which can get into your phone, used it on Jeff Bezos. So, our work was to figure out how it happened. >> Why would a government want to hack the founder of Amazon's phone? >> So, I'll tell you in a second. But, we're all not as careful as we could be in terms of what we say, what we text. And there is absolutely no protection viable for the confidentiality of your phone. Do you have any skepticism about that? I just have a lot of ignorance to how this whole world works. Lucky you. But, all power centers in human history lie. There are some examples of this where it will start telling the truth about something, but years later. Things like cancer-causing asbestos in baby powder, 100,000 people dying from heart attacks from opioids. And we'll see it with mass vaccination. >> So, what advice would you give about how to navigate in the world we're living in today to avoid risk, threat? >> I've got some core truths. So, first of all,

Video description

What would you do if you knew your messages weren’t private? Well, today’s guest has spent decades working with presidents and billionaires, and he says privacy is largely an illusion… Gavin DeBecker is the founder of one of the most elite security firms in the world. His company specialises in preventing assassinations and protecting some of the most powerful people alive. When there is a serious risk to a head of state or a public figure, he is often the person they call. The night before this interview, Tony Robbins sent me a voice note describing Gavin as probably the single greatest security expert in the world. He spoke about how Gavin deciphered a threat against him in microseconds and stopped it within days. That made me even more curious about the man sitting across from me. In this episode, we cover: - If a government wants access to your phone, is there actually any way to stop them? - How does blackmail actually work at the highest levels of power? - Why were there “unnamed co-conspirators” in the Epstein plea deal? - Are powerful institutions protecting the public, or protecting themselves? - How is fear used as a tool to divide populations and maintain control? There’s a moment in this conversation where I tell Gavin that I grew up believing the system mostly worked. That courts were fair, and that institutions acted in good faith. Even as I started interviewing intelligence officials and world leaders, part of me still held onto that belief. Gavin’s life work is built around one core idea - your intuition is your built-in defence system. He says we’ve been trained to override it with logic and social pressure. Making very slow decisions about who you include in your life, and very fast decisions about who you exclude, is how you sharpen your intuition. If you want to understand how safety, power, fear and leverage really work at the highest levels, this episode is for you. #podcast #epstein #jeffreyepstein #cia
