Summary

Taken hostage and tortured by the Taliban, it’s safe to say few have ever lived life to the extremes in the same way as Anthony Stephen Malone, "The Rogue Warrior". As a former CIA Agent and British Paratrooper, Anthony has seen terrifying, dangerous action up close, and been on the frontlines to ensure that the safety and security of the world are kept sacred.

Anthony has led some truly hair-raising missions, including his work as a photographer where he was tasked with documenting crimes against humanity, genocide and violent atrocities which has come at a huge personal cost. Anthony joins me on this weeks show to talk about his incredible, diverse life journey so far, the role of the media in reporting on what happens in the world and how it is being slowly twisted to suit political agendas, the horrors he has witnessed during his vital work, and what it really means to embark "on a mission"...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you embark on any type of journey through another culture, it's always best to do whatever you can to understand and absorb the culture, the politics and the history. This gives you an advantage, and shows respect.
Governments and powers often have good intentions, but do not always listen to the wisdom of those on the frontlines. Intentions need to be backed up by continuing action, and peace-keeping. If it doesn't, then intentions are empty.
When world events are reported on by the media, it's wise to remember that we are not seeing the full picture. We are always being shown a skewed picture that fits an outlet's agenda.
To know your enemy you have to completely understand them. Only by doing so can we hope to predict their next movements. This is a crucial skill in winning the war against terror.

BEST MOMENTS

'I always try to approach a problem from an unusual angle, or look twenty steps ahead'

'What the mainstream media put out there is inaccurate'

'Atrocities, mass killings and executions are now happening on a daily basis'

'The problem is that war is a very lucrative industry'

0:04.4	It's about this. You might say, you believe you're going to achieve anything.
0:09.6	You actually can't. What I was seeing on the ground in places like Iraq and Afghanistan
0:14.8	was polar opposite to what the press were reporting on.
0:19.8	How's the BBC reported on the official investigation into the Taliban?
0:24.4	They have not. My question is why?
0:27.1	Leaving background airbase in the middle of the night and just handing over the case to the Taliban.
0:33.4	Unbelievable. You never leave a military stronghold intact. They should have flattened it.
0:39.2	Take it out of the deep. Should have decommissioned the whole thing.
0:42.7	Did I think there was days in there that we were going to be killed? Yes, I did.
0:46.9	Yes, there was good days in there. There was bad days. All of us had a pile of

1:23.3	Well, guys, I can honestly say you are in for an absolute treat. We've just been chatting before we
1:29.1	hit record. I've just said that we need to stop this immediately because the content is off the
1:35.0	charts. It's safe to say Anthony, there's not many guests that I've had that I've got such a colorful
