Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2020
- Arguably the most polarizing story in the history of the SEAL Teams, the war crimes accusations surrounding Eddie Gallagher have made it a tumultuous story for our entire nation. The president intervened when pre-trial confinement protocol wasn’t being followed, the media has portrayed a narrative and perspective, now it’s time to hear Eddie’s side of the story.
I sat down with Eddie face to face, and wanted to get all of the questions I think most of us have answered. Irrespective of what side of the fence you sit on, listen to the whole thing and get all sides before you judge.

Mike... You never disappoint brother! Unbelievable how this all went down. Great interview, horrific story.
Mr. Shawn Ryan, I just finished watching the 5 and 1/2 hour interview you had with Eddie, you did a very good job letting Eddie speak without interrupting and you asked very good questions. Gallagher’s story was shocking and horrifying. thank you for giving Eddie a platform to get his story out 🙏🏼
Yes great podcast too Shawn! Looking forward to Eddie’s book!
Shawn always bringing us the 411 live & correct! Your a good dude Shawn...Keep killin it🇺🇸💪🏻
Dude your interview took this to the next level. The people who turned on him can eat a schwanzen.
Nothing beats #008. i couldnt stop watching it nor did i want it to end. What a fantastic story with a even better ending. The wife,,, Solid. Its the kind of story that you have to say,,,, Its in Gods hands.
Im still spinning......
I’m going to call it now, this is probably going to be one of Mike’s top-5 podcasts.
Agreed they keep getting better, after he dropped Epstein didn't kill himself.
Could be a movie in the making
DOE John what does that even mean
DOE John explain yourself pussy
@DOE John answer the fuckin question maggot!
Cant wait for his book. “The only rights you have are the ones you can afford.” How sad. This is America!
That’s a frightening quote.
That's but exactly news folks...fuck up once and end up in the court system and you'll feel completely fucked
He clearly overestimated his. Dumbass
It's really amazing how so many I. This country are willing to ruin other people to get ahead and even if they are successful, ultimately someone gets caught and they just torch the credibility of the institutions they work for.
Watching for a second time and just now seen the “Waterboarding Instructor” shirt lol
Thank you
psychotic
@@ericaboasso2914 legendary
@@ericaboasso2914 triggered much (Erica )😆😆
@Drone Time you're kinda simple huh?
Thank you for allowing Chief Gallagher tell his story.
I am a former Navy Seabee, and have enormous respect for Seals. Good for you, and glad to hear you read the Bible cause the need to be prepared for the afterlife is spiritually important for anyone and all.
Thanks for your service!
Ps., any dude who comes on a podcast to defend his character wearing a t-shirt that says "waterboarding instructor" on it is either a psychological mad-genius or a pretty solid dude. Period, game over.
If i had gone through what he went through i would either dont give a fuck or just trolling the world, he is so compose even though he has every right to feel wronged on so many levels.
Or both
@Holland Karoly a lot easier to speak from the outside looking in. Ironically the people who snitched on him only did so after 6 months when they knew he was deploying with them again and in a leadership position and made requests to have him pulled, when they had no leverage they made leverage. How does a guy with integrity his whole career do a complete 180 in front of civilians, his platoon and Police forces in the day and age of rising social media platforms, I call bullshit on the people who clicked together to bash his name and strip his chances at a silver star, especially when a OIC told these people examples of ways to get rid of EG. You talk about this guy but what about the poor toxic leadership of people who never even faced the fucked up system of ROE but have the balls to criticize others for making quick life or death situations. Also there isn’t a single picture of him holding a decapitated head.
@Holland Karoly You are an idiot-I guess the term” innocent till proven guilty” doesn’t mean anything to you with your twitter logic. Like seriously the guys who ratted him out of wouldn’t even go to the preliminary trial. They refused-probably cause there story won’t add up. Also dumbass the NCIS couldn’t even keep the story straight. Lastly why tf did they wait till 6 months after he got back to report this? None of it’s suspicious to you( I guess u hate trump so much that it has override your logic)
Dude sounds like a bully
Great interview Mike! Thank you for having the pair to have Eddie tell his story. God bless you Eddie. Enjoy retirement. Job well done!! Yes, I'm a fellow veteran.
as a retired NAVY Chief.... he is and was a hard charger. cant thank you enough for the videos Mike Ritland!
Just one isis fighter? I would have hoped for more than just 1
It was a 7 month deployment and that was just one day and that was the only still barely alive one in a house full of other dead ISIS...there was a lot more than 1 lol
Amazing interview, and most of it was absolutely jaw-dropping. Mike, thanks for getting Eddie's side of the story out there. Keep up the great work!
I love this guy! Thank you!
My hats off to you sir. I hope you and your family can find some peace in all this craziness.
Mike thanks for having the guts for having Eddie on your show. Great show. Thank you for your service & sacrifice.
I've been looking forward to hearing this man's story from his own lips.
A heartfelt thanks to you and your family's sacrifice and service to this great country. Your wife is an incredible and inspiring human being.
This was my first video from Mike and I really enjoyed his style, he has a new subscriber!!!
who gives a shit about what he says. that doesn’t matter. the truth matters and he’s made seals and the military look bad.
Mike, excellent questions. Good interview. I'm glad he came on to tell his side of the story. Semper Fi
You couldn't have touched the subject any better! Thank you for your dedication and service to this wonderful nation Mike!
Mike Ritland, brother I’ve been doing criminal interviews my entire career and did a stint in new hire interviews and after all the damn classes I’ve done and great interviewers I’ve had as role models I’ve got to say you’re a natural and great interviewer. You keep the flow perfect and let your interviewee talk. You get the info and keep it moving. I usually can’t watch long form interviews so easily but this one went by in a breeze. After hearing all the media talk of Chief Gallagher it’s really amazing to have the opportunity to hear the facts and get to know the guy in such a believable no bullshit platform. Thanks for doing these videos, much appreciated from the civilian side! After watching this interview I find myself completely convinced Chief Gallagher is a great American, a patriot, and one hell of a military man. I’ll also ad, I’ve been through hundreds of hours of deception detection training from both federal and local law enforcement training sources. I’ve conducted over a thousand interviews/interrogations and put that training to use and while I’m not the expert be all or guru of deception detection I would definitely say I’m above average experienced and trained on bullshit filtering. I did not for one second see anything or hear anything to think Chief Gallagher was anything but completely honest with you. In fact I would even use parts of this interview to show text book behavior in an interviewee telling the truth. Blown away by the quality of this interview, and my heart hurts for Chief Gallagher and what he went through. Thank you both for being who you are and giving us civilians access to this material.
I've been waiting for him to be on your show since the moment his story hit the news! Thank you Mike, Great work!
Sad story for someone giving his life to protect us. Thank you guys!
Thanks for having Eddie on Mike, it's a wake up call that he had to go through this . Wow
Mike, you conducted this interview so fairly and with the highest level of professionalism. This is the kind of honest dialogue that we need from our main stream media. Wishful thinking!!!
Mike , first I need to tell you how much I love your podcast and seconds thanks for having Eddie Gallagher on it. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic. Love the new intro and set Mike. Stoked to hear this one especially he killed it on Andy's.
Thank you so much for ALL of the things you’ve done for our country. I support you 100%.
I have gone through some tough and dark times in my life but God bless this man. I’m praying for some wonderful years ahead for him and his family.
This guy is pure class. Keep it up Eddie. Greetings from Norway.
Mike thank you for this interview. I’ve been waiting to hear to formulate an opinion. Semper Fi Chief
Thank you for allowing him tell this story. Love what you do, from your podcasts to the dogs. Met you years ago and a K9 Conference in Reno where you were the keynote speaker.
Mike - That was an awesome interview with Eddie. God Bless you both!
I'm glad this man has had a chance to put his story out and give his side of the story. Semper Fi brother!
lastofthefinest
Eddie’s not a Marine. So, why say Semper Fi to him? He was _not_ an honorable, elite operator.
@@travelinman482 Who gives a damn? Semper Fi just means always faithful and he did a faithful job! I earned the right to say Semper Fi to whoever I want to say it because it’s a show of respect.
@@lastofthefinest
So, could a Soldier say it? Because my Marine buddy said that only Jarheads are allowed to say it. Just like you’ll never hear a Soldier saying “Aim High”, an Air Force saying. He was faithful? He violated International Law of War Crimes and the UCMJ!! Taking pictures with dead bodies while clenching a fist full hair/head is not exactly in the line with military Code of Conduct or of “Christian values”. He knew exactly why it was wrong and what he was doing to that dead ISIS kid. No one forced him. He was their fucking leader of his platoon!!!
@@travelinman482 I would have done the same thing to those low life scumbags!
@@lastofthefinest
And you would be in Leavenworth. We have Rules of Engagement (RoE) that we must follow.
I knew this day would come but not soon enough. Still waiting for Mike to get podcast of the century.
Just subscribed. You interview people with straightforward questions, it’s hard to find someone that doesn’t beat around the bush when it comes to serious topics. Thanks for the podcast.
I'll be listening in around 6 AM cant wait for this one.
Love your podcast Mike! You hit on all the questions everybody is thinking
Thanks Eddie for showing up and sharing...thanks Mike for inviting him.
As an Old Ass Marine now, I can not believe this man got every wheel of every bus ever. He’s a Corpsman he has a light in his heart that speaks against anything he was falsely accused of. Thanks Mike. Semper Fi.
We bought several shirts from 9Line to support Eddie! Thanks for having him on Mike! We love Eddie and his Family! Thank God for for a President with a backbone! 🇺🇸
As a Navy guy myself, I can't express my love and support to you enough Chief! Thank you brother for your service! God bless you and thank you Mike for giving him an unbiased environment to tell the actual story.
The 2 toxic E-6's (Tolbert and Dille) should have their Tridents pulled.
Fucking right about that!! Total bullshit! Watch Shawn Ryan's interview with Eddie! It's 5 1/2 hours long and he gets into more depth. Those two fucking assholes went to Eddie's prison cell and said that they were sorry!!!
Waht's wrong in the SEALS when these two not only stay but are promoted?!?!?!?!?!
Roger THAT!! Actually they should go through what Eddie went through....at the very least. Even prison time. Why these assholes weren't hazed out I will never know.
@@michaell31 not just the seals man, it is the Navy leadership in general. I have personally witnessed as an MA2 (essentially military police), get punished for being suicidal. Literally making his situation drastically worse mentally, instead of looking at the problem. I am proud to of been Navy, but shit can be toxic as fuck.
@@to8860 this blows my mind. A man willing to put his life on the line and put his difference aside and they still do this to him. Karma will be back around
Mike, this is by far one of my favorite podcasts of yours. Thank you for having Mr. Gallagher on to share his side. I suspected he was getting screwed over and this pretty much confirmed it... For me at least.
I’ve enjoyed listening in! Thanks for your service sir.
What another moving podcast. I can't believe the injustice. I can remember when all this was being splayed on tv, I tried hard to withhold judgment because I just didn't want to believe Galleger was guilty. Now, frankly I'm a bit pissed. Thank you for posting this, and your a Frogman - you humbly serve an American (including Eddie) who is unable to defend himself - and if anyone gives you backlash for letting him tell his story ...they can choke themselves. Great interview, Mike. Listening to you is often the highlight of my week.
Great interviewer! Support Eddie Gallagher 100% Thank you for allowing him to tell his side of the story! Thank you for service to your country Eddie Gallagher!
This man is a hero not a criminal. We can only hope his accusers see their justice. Thank you for your service 👍🏼❤️
@Gloria l Yaa I hear that... I’m in CA sooo pretty much every day I find out I’m breaking a new law lol
@Gloria l Which freedoms and rights are being stripped from you?
@@Teddy_______ Why haven't you tried to move to a red state? Much cheaper.
@Zokersghost They aren't going to be able to answer because 1: they have not thoroughly read the Constitution. 2: They do not have the education or experience to successfully interpret it. 3: whining about Constitutional rights is a cool political talking point. 4: If someone is a conservative and/or a member of the armed forces, whatever they say must be correct. This nation made it Constitutionally legal to treat African Americans like property for hundreds of years and everyone was ok with it for awhile. White people get ADVISED to stay inside and wear a mask when not for two fucking months and its "BuT mY CoNsTiTuTiOnAl RiGhTs"
NCIS lawyers and lawyers in general rarely see justice in our judicial system.
Can't wait! I listened to the cleared hot podcast with Eddie, it was great!
Can't wait for this. Getting to work early tomorrow so I can start the day off right
I was there around the same time with your neighbours from the north, although in a much different role, and I can say that when it first came out I was shocked but tried to stay cool-headed. This interview shed a lot of light on something that remained blurry for most of us and I'm glad you managed to get out of it all, Godspeed man!
I’m so happy I found this podcast. Some of the best conversations out there imo..
Can't wait! I support this hero!
Mike I’d like to thank you for this podcast. Myself I waited for the trial to finish before judgment as we are all innocent until proven guilty. It was good to hear Eddies side of the story. I hope he continues to shine light on the process he endured. Again thank you
All of the stories I read about navy seals is it’s all about the brotherhood and camaraderie and how they would give their lives for the man next to them but Eddies story proves that there’s good and bad people in all communities
Andy Stumpf and Jocko Willinck like to point out that every community should be viewed as a bell curve.
Watch the Joe Rogan podcast with David Goggins! And how some of his teammates tried making him a pariah!
Yea Eddie was probably the POS
@@hesuspeek7557 his almost two decades of service disagrees
@@jakecollin5499 Worse people have had longer careers. Air tight logic there, skipper
Thanks for doing this podcast, Mike Ritland. Your priorities are in righteous good order!
The decent people of this nation recognize and are deeply grateful to you, Eddie Gallaghar, for your years of courage, dedication, and service to our country. May God bless you and your beautiful family.
Thanks for giving us this, Mike.
It hurts me to know that you & your family have had to go through this shit, Eddie.
May God bless you guys!
Eddie seems to be an outstanding guy, and and superb operator, I’m happy mike done this interview and I’m thankful everything worked out for Eddie . It’s a shame people are jealous and would cause this kind of problem instead of stepping up their game and being the man Eddie is, either way Eddie’s never quit attitude brought him through it, Thank god and god bless
Lol he’s clearly a huge POS
@@hesuspeek7557 your obviously here for attention.
@@hesuspeek7557 did you REALLY laugh out loud before you typed that you tool? Or are you just doing what everyone else does and using stupid “text” acronyms? Clown.
@@hesuspeek7557 Absolutely, he's a POS. And Yes, the Corrupt Navy treated him wrong and then our Commander in Chief who thinks Seal Life is like a Rambo Movie got involved where he didn't belong. I wish the Naval Justice System would have been above board such that Justice Prevailed. My biggest disappointment when I was in the Navy was the amount of Corruption. Junior Officers were arrogant jerks and Flag Officers were Political POS.
I’m so glad the president stepped in and at least ensured Eddie was able to see his due process restored. Now the SEAL command needs to be remodeled to restore faith of the teams. What a black eye this has been on such a great community.
Ed is a war criminal and every podcast he goes on he weakens the seal community
@@CasinoMoney2000 What insider information do you have that negates any need for due process? Should we just take him out and stone him in the court of your opinion?
@@mark2designs607 he has changed his story multiple times… he is lying and he is a war criminal. The navy leadership made the right decision but president trump stepped in for political points
@@CasinoMoney2000 He was acquitted by a UCMJ jury on all but the desecration of a corpse charge, which according to the facts in the case might as well have been a misdemeanor.
@@randomman057 is that how seals win now? Throwing the rule book at the enemy ?
Thank you for doing this interview.
Love you Eddie! A year ago at this time was a lot different losing our minds seeing you at the brig. Being by your side with Andrea and Sean through it all was unreal. Every day we said you can’t make this shit up and here you are telling your story! Xx
Best episode ever. Mike asked questions that were on point. Two American heroes right here, thank you both for your service. All the best to Gallagher and his family
Great video. It was good to finely hear Eddie Gallagher's side and what actually happened.
Unquestionably the most gripping, corner-turning and gut-wrenching podcast I have ever listened to. I sat on the fence throughout the nearly three hour interview, determined to be ambivalent and open minded about who Eddie Gallagher really was: monster or master manipulator. I'm not even a true Trump supporter but this has made me sit up and pay attention. I think POTUS did the right thing without any legal reason for doing so. How uncanny that his emotional hunch and eventual actions have given Gallagher justice by default. It has exposed the deep-seated corruption within the ranks of the "unchecked". The self-serving that are supposed to be the leaders, masters of the elite, above everyone else, yet proving their status as not even worthy of the common good they are supposed to serve and uphold. There are grey areas in every story, but Mike has punched holes through this one without being biased. He has given Eddie Gallagher a moment in the "public" court and what he's just delivered is clear-cut, black and white. For an ex-journalist like myself, I find this fascinating, spell-binding and I can't wait to hear the next instalments.
Yes, it is ironic that Trump was the one, in the face of all we have since learned about him.
Watch Shawn Ryan’s interview of him. Eddie goes into more detail whereas on this one everything is pretty brief and general information. Shawn Ryan’s interview of Eddies retelling of events will have you shitting bricks
Gotta admit the way Mike Ritland asks questions that could “benefit” opposing thoughts is pure genius. Never once is it disrespectful but purely to understand both sides of this shitty ordeal. Gallagher is exactly what I would hope is at the front line or a couple hundred yards behind it taking the fight to these evil bastards who want to kill anyone who doesn’t believe the same as they do. Mike Ritland keep up the good work and Eddie Gallagher, glad to see the worst is behind you!
Nick Maihofer , this was and is a crap deal . I’ve never seen so many civil rights violations in one case in my life this is just freaking horrible didn’t think it would ever happen in this country but it has
@@anthonyluisi7096... Criminal illegals get treated better
Mike is a great interview and all his hard work and prep shows . He always has note book loaded and ready to go with each guest. He reads their books and write down passage. 🤔 You see it all the time in the media now where a journalist or an interviewer did not even take 5 minutes to learn the most basic of details about the subject they are interviewing 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Agreed. I wasn't sure what to make of all this when it was going down. Really nice to hear about it from him in a relaxed setting.
@@anthonyluisi7096 sad thing is that stuff like this has most likely been going on for a long time, we just haven't heard about most of it.
The only podcast or media I can listen to while falling asleep and be at peace knowing they have sacrificed and are The Real Deal. Thank YOU to ALL who have served! God Bless!
Thank you Eddie for exposing the incompetent Naval legal system. They put me through 84 days in the brig and took my case all the way to the US Supreme Court while loosing in every previous hearing. In the end I won but it was costly. JAG is full of lawyers that cannot pass the bar. Best wishes to you and your family.
Thank you both. Great interview!
One of the best interviews I’ve watched. This changed my perspective on the whole case. Great questions! Awesome honest answers!
Great interview! Glad Eddie made it through this with justice. Hope the team guys handle the liars.
So happy I found your podcast. Your way better then the radio and you explain everything and ask the best questions. Also thank you for your service.. Home of free, because of the brave 🙏
I'll say this is hands down one of your Best Podcasts Mike !!! Absolutely Crazy. I'm so Glad you made it through this Eddie. 😎👍👍
What is going on with the teams? Stealing a Red Bull WTF? They sound like high school girls.
@@JohnDoe-ow2ux nah, just couple psychopaths managed to get through filters. Eddie Gallagher accidently got into crossfire. This is classic and happens all the time in work force.
Have you worked with Millenials?
@@hamschh There are about 2500 active seals at any one time. You have your share of turds. Just like anywhere else.
Sounds like they got more and more hollywood and became more and more primidona
@@hamschh that's the problem. They believe they are "special". Honestly I liked the Marines culture before MARSOC where they viewed all Marines all Elite and there was no "special". I view a good ol 11B or 0311 Grunt as important as our SEALs or SF soldiers.
Bless you and your family Eddie, watching your eyes an body posture, hearing your words you are a honorable man, I am in shock that this could happen, thank you for telling your story, thank you Mike, Eddie and family need a dog for protection .
God Bless both of these warriors! Great interview !
Thanks Eddie for your service and your’s and your family sacrifice to keep America safe and free! Thanks again Mike for another great Podcast! Thank You both for your service!
I am sooo glad to see Chief Gallagher on the podcast. I am immensely grateful for his service and his fortitude. I wish him and his precious family only good fortunes. Thank you, Chief Gallagher. /s/ Scott L. Adkins, GySgt USMC (ret'd).
Men and heroes like Chief Gallagher make me feel good about our military and as for them new guy Navy Seals... you all are a bunch of losers ....the real 3% who squeaked thru the Seals bud training.. We had guys like that in the Marines who were quickly taken around the building and intensely given a reality check ! Of course back in my day we had CC corrective custody in the SUCK for weak marines who didn't want to get with the program, and the Brig also straightened a lot of marines who thought they were Hot Sh_t , but most got with the program real fast..!
Thanks for putting the story out. Theres many non military folks who really appreciate your service and found what they tried to do to you unforgivable. Thank you for fighting for those that can't. Your wife deserves a medal of honor herself. Unwaivering.
Mike, You have a rare gift as a host/interviewer. You have the ability to listen and speak when necessary. I'm not popping smoke up your six. It doesn't suit me. I hit the thumbs up and subscribe . Senior Chief's experience should be mandatory reading and printed in every U.S History, Law Journal book. Senior Chief.... It was your Faith. Thank you both dearly for your service to this country and the world. Those who thumbed down this interview either hit it by accident or not stood in the fire! Semper Fi, carry on.
So glad you did this interview. This totally rings true as I spent 10 years in the Navy and saw a lot of ugly politics. Long live our war fighters!,
Chief, I appreciate your candor in explaining yourself and the entire situation. We at home only get one version of the story, and that is the one the media chooses to portray. During my 23 year career in the Army, I witnessed numerous application of UCMJ to maintain good order and discipline. However, nothing amounted to the injustice you describe. I find this to be unsatisfactory. Good luck to you and your family in your next career.
Update: Mike, I forgot to mention that I really appreciated your interview method that explored the 360-view of your guest. I really enjoyed your show. Thanks!
Thanks for serving brother. I served 15 and I agree. I never saw anything like compared to this. The Navy failed him, his leadership failed him. and his team failed him. Mike brings it down to where the rubber meets the road. I don't have a lot of spare time, but I make time to listen to Mike's podcasts. He helped bring some light to this darkness. Such BS. Thanks Mike.
I did 5 years and on multiple occasions I saw good Marines get fried by their commands. This was usually after tough deployments that broke people off left them struggling. The Corps doesn't care about you if you're broken.
Why does the movie Shooter come to mind when I listen to this guy describe what he went through.
Bob Lee Swagger
Because both of the stories are fictitious.
@@h.caulfield4776 are you saying Eddie’s story is fictitious?
The Book by Stephen Hunter reminds me of the movie and this Soldier’s story!
Huge LOL to eddies boss shirt "water boarding instructor"
When you do a good job, you know it for yourself without being praised. I am old school also Eddie. Your a hero, never believe anything else.
The role that MIKE DROP has come to play in terms of pushing out this information to the wider world is something that Mike Ritland is, and should be, very proud of.
Those of you out there that enjoy this content need to understand that there is a TON of work that goes into this product - support Mike, support those that share their story, and reap the benefits.
Zero bullshit, get amongst it.
Best podcast yet. Love that the truth is out. Scary how many rights were violated in this case
EDDIE GALLAGHER WE LOVE YOU BROTHER GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
This was ur best show yet! I’ve followed Eddies story from day 1
Mike, glad you gave Eddie a platform to tell his side. I thought from the beginning there was a lot more to this story than what we were hearing.
My hat's off to you Mike for promoting having an informed decision. In our Jerry Springer culture (fueled by emotion and sensational click-bait - BLECH!), it's extremely refreshing to know that you're creating a platform for thinking people. I listened as you and Mike Glover discussed this issue and respected the way that you gathered tertiary info and perspective ahead of time, and you hit it on the head when you said to Eddie that since Trump got involved, some folks will get wet-brain about this issue. I'm an Independent and am loyal to issues vs parties, and I love that there's a channel that promotes critical thought. Bless you for being a beacon of rational thought! I learned from my papa (who was a fighter pilot, Vietnam vet and Bronze Star recipient) that Big Military was not to be trusted when they lied about troops being in Laos, so while I'm sorry for all warfighters who get screwed by The Brass, I'm not surprised when I hear of these betrayals. Much respect to the Gallaghers for focusing on exposing the layers of duplicity ... that's how we heal from trauma: we find what we *can* do and we do it in spades, and if others can be served by those efforts, that's all the better. Seems like this couple has all that they need to thrive through this betrayal. And much respect to you for not caving to the pressures from other SEALs to form an opinion prior to having access to the whole picture. I hope that your parents are proud of the honorable guy they raised.
Once again awsome content ! 😎And thank you for your SERVICE!!!🇺🇸
Just wanted to thank you Mike for always bringing on such amazing warfighters and the great shows I listen to them while I work! Thank you Chief Gallagher for your service to our country and for sharing your amazing story! Praying for you and you family brother always! Mike your awesome brother keep it up!
Thank you for sharing this amazing story! You guys give me hope, I’m a millennial and I hate the mindset of my generation and how they don’t know how to work hard literally for what you have without getting credit.
Great interview, really opened my eyes and saw his side of the story. Totally believe he was railroaded and hope from now on this great man and leader can look back with clear eyes. Watching from the Brazilian jungle. Stay frosty.
Thank you both for your service!
Super interesting. Great job. It's raw and insightful.
CNN Now that’s some real torture
Truth
IDIOTS
Chief Gallagher I just want to apologize, I personally should of waited to hear your side of the story instead of believing the news. I wish you and your family well. And thank you for keeping all of us safe for the last 20 years.
Eddie and Mike thanks for your Service!
Excellent interview. Semper Fi Eddie! I hope you continue to kick ass. Your interviewer did a great job!
Thanks for giving this man a chance to give his side of the story. I've followed this since I saw a post from his wife on facebook. The media totally dragged his name through the mud and was very one sided. That's why my house has been cable free for the past two years.
Mike & Chief Gallagher - I hope this endemic boil within the US Military get well & truly lanced and drained. I have always said, how can you tell the senior military leadership are lying? Their lips are moving...... Semper Fi
Great interview as always Mike. Not sure exactly how I feel about Eddie’s stories but I was not there. War can bring out the best and worst in people and that includes non military Folks. Best of luck in your next chapter Chief to you and your family.
Great podcast, thank you Mike and Eddie. Eddie, thank you for your service, I am sorry for what you had to go through when you returned to the states.
Thank you Mike for bringing Eddie on your Show! And, thank you Eddie for everything! Your years of service and for staying strong through all of this! I have always been a believer in your innocence. And I am a strong supporter of President Trump! Glad the President reached out to you in this ordeal.
