How I Communicate With Terrorists & Kidnappers | Minutes With

[@ladbiblestories]

Scott Walker’s Sunday Times bestseller, Order Out of Chaos: A Kidnap Negotiator's Guide to Influence and Persuasion is published by Piatkus and available to buy online and in stores now.

[@YochevedDesigns]

He needs to go into Gaza and negotiate with Hamas. It's been over 2 months, and they still have over 100 hostages. Most of them are elderly and children.

[@JunoAbby]

Says the kidnappers know he will pay them.

[@Jerellaj]

A master in the art of communicating. He's never failed a job and that says a lot about him

[@Mcfc2Rich]

When he's giving out 300k to terrorists it's hard to think why. I bet they have him on speed dial

You can tell this guy is a pro!! Listen to how he breaks down what he's saying. Absolutely professional. 👌

[@djkasper6852]

The fact he has been working 16 years in the most stressful job ever tells me he has god-level hair genetics.

[@UndefeatedEagle]

My grandfather who is 92 still has blond hair . Mixed with a tiny bit of grey

[@pseudonym3690]

Most stressful job ever? Try being a soldier on the front line. Not sure if this job is even stressful at all to him at this point. After all, it's not his life on the line and after 16 years, he has developed a routine which is the very one he was talking about. By now, he goes by a mental checklist of how to behave and react.

[@RicardoTorres5]

Stress has nothing to do with androgenetic alopecia.

[@theafroassassin2535]

He has even mastered the pacing and enunciation of his speech. Clear, concise, and evened.

[@cvbzizou]

Please have a longer interview with this man. He is obviously brilliant but what sets him apart is he stresses the need to self-regulate our emotions. Take care of self in order to take care of others. His neural activity and emotional stability must be insane.

bring this man back ASAP! i wanna know HOW he does all the tips and tricks he told us! he is obviously brilliant. i wouldnt have thought that the police or negotiators would have such a psychological/therapist/social worker approach! i love it

[@nzoutloud]

It's really funny to me how he's using those techniques on us, as the audience to this video. We clicked on the video probably out of curiosity, but he may well have deftly realised that a lot of people would actually want to know how to use his techniques in their everyday life, and he gave his techniques and reassurance to make us feel seen, heard and understood in what we probably didn't even realise we wanted. Master at his art. Well done.

Imagine being this collected in the face of everything. Paramedic of 23 years here. I could only wish to have the wherewithal in my life.

[@madilittlefoot8988]

As soon as he said they said they were going to escort him to safety and give him a clean phone I was like oh they really know what they’re doing, they’re making sure they make good on their end of the deal so people know going forward the hostages WILL be given back if you pay them, at least w this specific group. That’s CRAZY

[@nellebuhrmann5343]

Although I've never experienced anything like this I can fully understand that nerves of steel are required -at any point in time when you tell the kidnappers they cannot have what they want could cause a trigger to be pulled. To hear a gunshot over a phone must be TERRIFYING.

[@bluesevern]

validating other people´s emotions, listening, being empathic, all those wonderful tips are just amazingly useful in every day life as well. one of my fav interviews! thank you !

[@Arete37]

Those are the exact skills that a professional counselor needs. We also learn to find the pervert person's motivation and use that. Why do they want to change, or why do they want a particular thing. I'd love to know how that plays into negotiations, too. I guess like he said, they want to walk away safely at the end, so you'd build on that.

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

This was a great interview. Scott Walker is obviously a fantastic communicator. I found his story very captivating.

[@ij1376]

2:58 on the first call, establish: 1. Respect for the kidnapper on the phone 2. Proof of life and safety, and 3. Set a call window when the kidnappers can/can't call.

[@lilbertsmom3561]

Wow, this was a really good interview. And it's really cool that he gave life advice at the end, and how to use HIS tools in your own life.

same story here. dropped out of uni, alcoholic/drug addict 10 years. I remember 2 months into my alcoholism I was trying to quit, still have moments with impulse actions but im getting better. One aspect of this degeneracy people rarely mention is the loneliness because most people in similar circumstances are pretty rough(criminals etc) and fiercely anti-intellectual. It destroys me when I think of the version of me i've lost and how much more I could have given people.

I was morbidly hopeful that this video could give some insight as to the minds of those who took hostages on 7.10 (whose "anniversary" is tomorrow), but sadly as soon as he said that most negotiations aren't about ideology - my heart sank. Because here it absolutely was ideological.

[@zureyaodula5348]

Great interview 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@Clearlight201]

Interesting interview with one gaping hole - the unasked/unanswered question of how or when if ever does law enforcement get involved in taking out the kidnappers? The interview made it sound as if you just haggle over the price then pay them and they go on to do it again and again.

[@TeaCup1940]

Because that is unfortunately exactly what happens. If law enforcement would do their job properly in many countries there wouldn't even be any kidnappers. But yes, they do this again and again as he said and they are an illegal business.

[@Alexden96Channel]

Agreed. He described it as a lucrative business. How can we stop that root cause?

I think kidnapping will become more and more common in developed countries. The divide between the rich and the poor is becoming enormous and working a regular job these days doesn’t even mean you’ll be okay. Working two, three jobs just to pay the bills and still have nothing will push some to the edge.

[@Heopful]

[@katie3472]

Great video. How do private individuals fund the ransoms?

[@xohina_r]

They have kidnapping insurance

[@Campbell5339]

Intriguing

[@Arete37]

Jack Kornfield in his book "A Path With Heart" gives excellent instructions on how to do just what is described here, label one's emotions. I used that with therapy clients a lot. Most of us only know "sad, angry, happy" and never sit down and put a finer point of words on our many feelings. Disappointed, frustrated, discouraged, calm, content, elated." And then just let them pass. Even with huge feelings of stress this helps. bring you back to the present moment and brings a sense of control. Over you, not the situation.

thank you. excellent lecture.

[@jamesoldham9995]

Kinda feel that the elephant in the room that's not been addressed in this interview is that, once the ransom has been paid and the kidnappers have returned the victim, why wouldn't they just kidnap the same person again next week?

[@2Evol2]

He spoke on that if u listened. These gangs do this as business. If they lie they are less likely to pull it off next time

Well, what I would have liked is for him Scott to provides with some sources to learn these techniques. I am a person who always seeks compromise, and I think that I would benefit from learning to be a bit more demanding in some way, and not just me, the world seems to think of a cooperative person as a pushover, which is such a strange thing that people have...

Better question to consume the entire interview: imagine a world when hostage negotiators are extraneous, where you need to reskill.

[@Heopful]

I think i've read Seal team 6, when clearing rooms train to shoot the enemy in the head even if they're holding a hostage in front of them. The text mentioned they would use team-members as simulated hostages, so they'd be shooting

[@kvt-cg3og]

Obviously this role requires nerves of steel. However, let’s be real- there are many people capable of handing over great wedges of money to kidnappers. The courier is in a far riskier role. Making these huge payouts saves one life whilst simultaneously feeding into a system that will end up claiming more lives than he has saved. It’s a false economy that only benefits the criminal gangs in the end.

Do cops hold individuals hostage by framing individuals with crimes they were near but not involved in. In addition is it possible if the victim can charged with petty crimes or any crime that the officer can use to keep the victim within the state or jurisdiction to isolate the victim from help?
