What does true evil look like? And how do you confront it face-to-face? In this raw conversation with Brad Beeler, who served as a Special Agent for the United States Secret Service for 25 years, we explore his extraordinary career confronting humanity’s darkest crimes, especially those involving children. Brad reveals a rarely-seen side of the United States Secret Service, reflecting deeply on his experiences as a polygraph examiner, where he faced some of the most malicious individuals imaginable.
In our conversation, we also discuss:
- Why empathy can become a crucial weapon in interrogations, even with society’s worst criminals.
- How international cooperation enabled Brad and his team to crack complex child exploitation cases.
- The subtle psychological strategies used to identify deception, gain trust, and ultimately reveal truth.
- The chilling realities of interacting with truly evil individuals, and what Brad learned about the darkest corners of human behavior.
Brad’s story is profoundly human, exploring the complex layers of morality, ethical boundaries, and personal resilience required to confront humanity’s most troubling personalities.
Thank you for listening.
