Dr. Jordan B Peterson sits down with attorney, ambassador, and 27th U.S. Security Advisor, Robert O’Brien. They discuss the inner workings of international hostage negotiations, the ongoing success and legacy of the Abraham Accords, the Russia/Ukraine war, and the current perception of American strength, leaving much room for improvement.
Robert O’Brien is an American attorney, ambassador, and was the 27th United States Security Advisor (4th to be hired under Donald Trump). O’Brien was a founding partner of the LA based boutique law firm Larson O’Brien LLP, and has worked in various legal and campaign roles for politicians such as Mitt Romney, Scott Walker, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. He has also served as an Ambassador to various countries like Israel and Taiwan during incredibly uneasy moments in recent history, including work on the Abraham Accords. In this field, he has also negotiated successfully to free Americans held captive abroad.

In the months following the viral video of the woman screaming that something “wasn’t real” on her plane, we haven’t heard a word from her.

The Company of Eagles was established in 1985 by an Air Force veteran.
The company was re-established under new ownership in 2014 after passing of the founder and his son. The business was left to the son’s life long friend who was there to see the building of the company from the beginning and still uses the same family of craftsmen to create these magnificent emblems. Our promise was, and remains to continue the legacy of the Bergsmann family business. The new ownership has been in the apparel trades since 2004 and combined these two businesses into a single operation. So our offerings are an expansion of available products to better serve the collectors and gift markets. You can always be confident in the quality of products from The Company of Eagles. Thank You, and we look forward to serving you!
