I'm Clint Emerson and welcome to Can You Survive this podcast, where the interview is just as dangerous as the scenarios I put my guests through.

From hostage situations to natural disasters, car jackings, active shooters, and more, If you're looking for the skills necessary to survive these situations, then this is the show for you.

Hey, thanks for listening to another episode.

Can you Survive this podcast?

This is Clint.

I don't know if I have to say that, but I say it every now and then for some reason.

Today we've got a good friend, probably a best friend.

He's a retired LAPD detective supervisor, a former CIA contractor. He did 20 plus years in law enforcement and did some pretty secret squirrel crazy stuff. He specializes in tactical operations, intelligence, and training, awareness expert, corporate group, and personal security consultant. And of course, the blogger at your situational awareness 101. I want to welcome Henderson Cooper to the show. Coup, thanks for coming,

buddy. Thanks for having me, my friend. Audiences. Yes, how's it been out there in L.A.? I'm sure

you love that place, right? You know what? Today I love it. I mean, it's clear blue skies.

There's no floodwaters running by my front door right now, so we're good.

No, that's true. You got the weather. You got the weather on your side out there.

I just can't talk to anybody in the city. That's the only problem.

Yeah, you have to talk to yourself probably, right? Pretty much, pretty much. yelling to yourself. I love guns. I love bullets.

I love freedom. Yeah, kill the guy. Yeah. Well, just like every other show, we got to put you through the rapid fire, which leads to great conversation and a lot of helpful hints for those that are listening.

So let's get started. Are you ready?

I am ready.

All right.

Oh, this is right. I wrote this, like, a while back, and this is right in alignment we're just talking about.

California or Pakistan.

Wow.

That's a tough one.
