Summary

Chief Special Operator Eddie Gallagher is without a doubt the most controversial Navy SEALs of modern day history, and quite possibly in the entire history of Naval Special Warfare. Shawn Ryan Show #008 Chief Gallagher explains in depth how teammates under his command at SEAL Team 7 not only accused him of being a war criminal, but relentlessly tried to send him away to life in prison for the alleged murder of an ISIS fighter in Mosul, Iraq. Eddie walks us through his version on what seemed to be the entire Naval Special Warfare community continuously attempting to take his rank, strip him of his SEAL Trident, and ravage his reputation even after proven innocent. His wife Andrea and son Ryan share their first hand accounts of how the NCIS raided their home and strategically wreaked havoc on their family.

Welcome back to the Sean Ryan show. This is the final episode of 2020 and what a hell of a year that's been, huh? Right? Yeah, I think we can all agree on that.

So head over to vigilance lead Patreon. If that's not your thing, and you don't mind, leave us a little Christmas present. Head over to iTunes. Leave us a one-word review. Even if it's just one word, it's not that hard. We'll link it below. That helps us out.

1:10.0

That helps us out. Gets the show out to where it needs to go so that everybody can hear it. I mean, the shit that we saw on that deployment, what is some of the shit that you saw?

1:22.0

We're trying to wreck you a spot and I look over and they had kids heads, little kids heads on the spikes. There was dead bodies all over the place.

1:33.0

We had our turf, low and half. I got pulled into the mass chief of trade at and said, hey, you're under investigation. They went and raided my house.

1:43.0

He went to fight, you know, for our country, to prevent people from terrorizing, you know, members of the United States. And then they take him and they lock him up on American soil. And then they lay siege to his home and terrorize his wife and his children.

1:58.0

It's pretty sick. My oldest son opens up the door. They're all screaming at him. They're pointing rifles at my children and they're saying, put your hands up.

2:08.0

3:32.0

Actually without a doubt. And, yeah, you know, you've been through hell and back. You've had teammates, you know, betray you.

3:42.0

You want to court, you know, and wound up not guilty. And, you know, another reason that I think you're still controversial is President Trump stepped in to your case, not once, but twice. And that has not happened since I think Richard Nixon.

4:02.0

The Maylay massacre. Yeah, 1968. And, you know, with the election cycle and how divided the country is right now, it, it.
