  America's Abortion Crisis Is Worse Than It’s Ever Been 26.10.2026 1h 27m

  Overturning Roe v. Wade was supposed to be the victory that changed everything. But four years later, Seth Gruber argues America is facing an even deeper abortion crisis — and the very people who spent decades fighting for the unborn have lost their urgency. So how did a movement that achieved one of its biggest political victories end up in this position?Seth says the answer isn't in Washington alone. Decades ago, ordinary Christians were getting arrested, risking their livelihoods, and forcing politicians to take notice. Today, he believes that same courage is disappearing. Through his new book and film, The Last Stand, Gruber uncovers forgotten stories of resistance, including the young Christians who defied Hitler, and asks whether Americans still have the conviction to fight for what they believe.KEY TOPICS:Why Seth Gruber believes America's abortion crisis has worsened since Roe v. Wade was overturnedThe rise of abortion pills and why overturning Roe wasn't enoughWhy Gruber criticizes Trump and Vance's positions on abortionHow the Republican Party has retreated from its previous pro-life commitmentsWhy so many American pastors and churches refuse to address abortionThe forgotten Operation Rescue movement that helped transform American politicsWhy Gruber believes the pro-life movement has lost its momentumDebating abortion exceptions involving rape, incest, and maternal healthGruber's message about forgiveness and healing for women who have had abortionsThe story of Sophie and Hans Scholl, who defied Nazi GermanyHow Christianity helped shape Western civilization and the protection of human lifeThe inspiration behind Gruber's new book and film, The Last StandCharlie Kirk's role in supporting the White Rose ResistanceWhy Gruber believes ordinary Christians can change the course of history againGet Seth's book: thelaststand.com/bookSupport Seth and his mission: https://gruber-wear.printify.me/ ——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Primal Viking: https://primalviking.com/pages/chad-robichauxSmith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg———The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  Russia is fighting a war in Ukraine. Iran is targeting American forces in the Middle East. North Korea continues building up its military. These may seem like separate threats, but according to Gordon Chang, there's one country behind it all — China.Gordon Chang returns to The Resilient Show for Part 2 of his conversation with Chad, digging into Beijing's growing relationships with America's adversaries and why he believes we're underestimating just how closely they're working together.

  Gordon Chang: A War With China Could Start INSIDE America 12.10.2026 59m

  The nightmare scenario has long been the same: China makes a move on Taiwan, the U.S. gets pulled into a war in the Pacific, and the world watches two superpowers collide thousands of miles from American soil.Gordon Chang thinks that may be the wrong way to look at it.In this interview, he argues that if war comes, China could try to hit the United States first — inside the country using vulnerabilities America already has. And Chang thinks this could happen soon with Xi Jinping's “window of opportunity” fast closing.In Part 1 of a two-parter, Chad sits down with Chang to unpack what China;s master plan, what could trigger a first attack, and what a potential U.S.-China war may look like.Key Topics:- Why Gordon Chang says the CCP views America as its enemy- Why a U.S.-China war could begin on American soil- China’s alleged infrastructure and operatives inside the U.S.- Xi Jinping’s shrinking window to make a move- Taiwan, Japan, and the flashpoints that could trigger a wider war- Whether China’s military can actually win a major conflict- Xi Jinping’s purge of China’s military leadership- China’s economic decline and population crisis- The CCP’s persecution of Christians- COVID and the Wuhan Institute of Virology- China’s role in the fentanyl crisisFollow Gordon on X: https://x.com/GordonGChangGet Gordon's book: https://www.amazon.com/Plan-Red-Chinas-Destroy-America/dp/1630062804/——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Primal Viking: http://Primalviking.comSmith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg———The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  Jiu-Jitsu Legend Draculino On Growing Up With The Gracies, Fighting The Best, & Lessons On The Mat 05.10.2026 1h 52m

  Before Brazilian jiu-jitsu became a global sport, Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães was a kid surfing alongside the Gracies in Brazil. The people he grew up around would help shape martial arts history — and he would become part of that story himself. He went from watching his idols to facing them in competitions.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with his former instructor to revisit a lifetime on the mats. Chad knows firsthand what it’s like to learn from Draculino, and that shared history makes this conversation personal. Between the laughs and old stories, you get to know a fierce competitor who now finds some of his greatest pride in what his students accomplish outside the gym.KEY TOPICS:Growing up alongside the Gracies and finding jiu-jitsu through surfingThe early Brazilian competition sceneFacing his idols and competing against the bestThe devastating injury that nearly cost him his legChad’s years training under DraculinoThe danger of treating black belts like life gurusHow modern jiu-jitsu has changed (and sometimes not for the better)Faith, friendship, and finding purpose through teachingStay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Primal Viking: http://Primalviking.comSmith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  How To Survive After America’s Power Grid Collapses 28.09.2026 1h 28m

  The U.S. grid gets taken down by an enemy and the entire country goes dark. No phones. No ATMs. No gas pumps. No grocery deliveries. No running water. What now?That question drives Part 2 of our conversation with Jonathan Hollerman. Part 1 exposed how easily the grid could be attacked. Now Jon walks Chad through what he would actually do to survive it.Over the next hour and a half, Jon builds a survival plan from the ground up. First, he explains what you need to do now while the lights are still on. Then he walks through the decisions that could keep your family alive once the grid collapses and America descends into a Mad Max scenario — from escaping the city to storing food to choosing weapons, and everything in between.KEY TOPICS:What Jonathan witnessed during a nationwide grid-down war gameWhy the military and FEMA lack a plan for a nationwide outageHow true is the claim that 90% of Americans could die within one year in a grid-down scenario?Why military bases depend on the civilian electrical gridAmerica’s high-voltage transformers and years-long replacement timesPhysical attacks, cyberattacks, solar storms, and nuclear EMPsHow few critical targets could trigger a nationwide blackoutConcerns surrounding Chinese-built transformers inside the U.S. gridThe policy failures that have left America’s infrastructure exposedWhat it would take to begin hardening the national gridPDF with more information about a grid down: https://griddownconsulting.com/grid-down-report——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  America’s Power Grid Is Dangerously Exposed And NOBODY Has A Backup Plan 21.09.2026 1h 5m

  Most Americans assume the electrical grid is protected — and that if it ever failed, the military or federal government would step in. Jonathan Hollerman once wrongly assumed the same thing.That changed after he participated in a nationwide grid-down war game at Maxwell Air Force Base alongside federal agencies, military branches and utility experts. Jonathan walked away convinced that the safety net Americans expect simply isn’t there. And worse, any attack on the grid would be absolutely catastrophic to the American people.In part one of this two-part conversation, Jonathan joins Chad to explain why America’s power grid may be the country’s greatest weakness, how quickly a nationwide failure could become catastrophic, and why decades of warnings have produced so little action.KEY TOPICS:What Jonathan witnessed during a nationwide grid-down war gameWhy the military and FEMA lack a plan for a nationwide outageHow true is the claim that 90% of Americans could die within one year in a grid-down scenario?Why military bases depend on the civilian electrical gridAmerica’s high-voltage transformers and years-long replacement timesPhysical attacks, cyberattacks, solar storms, and nuclear EMPsHow few critical targets could trigger a nationwide blackoutConcerns surrounding Chinese-built transformers inside the U.S. gridThe policy failures that have left America’s infrastructure exposedWhat it would take to begin hardening the national gridPDF with more information about a grid down: https://griddownconsulting.com/grid-down-report——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  He Was Training To Become A Navy SEAL When 9/11 Changed Everything 14.09.2026 2h 15m

  Rich Graham spent years learning how to fight at the highest level. He earned his Trident at 20, served as a sniper with SEAL Team 10, trained in martial arts for decades, and eventually built a career teaching others how to protect themselves. But his biggest realization was that tactical skill alone doesn’t make someone a complete warrior. In this episode, Rich joins Chad to take us inside his life with SEAL Teams and the experiences that shaped his Full Spectrum Warrior philosophy. They get into firearms, combatives, physical readiness, mindset, and preparedness — but also the personal cost of constantly chasing the next achievement. It's a raw and real conversation with someone who reached the summit most men dream about and discovered it still wasn’t enough. KEY TOPICS: Why Rich originally joined the Navy to hunt drug cartels Hearing America was going to war while in SEALs training on 9/11 How the intensity and purpose of training changed overnight Earning the SEAL Trident at only 20 years old Deploying as a sniper with SEAL Team 10 The “broken dudes” hiding behind elite achievement Building the Full Spectrum Warrior philosophy Faith, family, service, and life beyond the SEAL TeamsLEARN MORE ABOUT RICH:His Full Spectrum Warrior Lifestyle book: fswlifestyle.com His Full Spectrum Warrior program: www.fullspectrumwarriors.comHis charity: www.homefrontk9.org ——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  Carlson Gracie Jr. On The Origins Of BJJ, The UFC, And The Gracie Family Legacy 09.09.2026 1h 8m

  This one is personal for Chad. He sits down with his longtime professor — Carlson Gracie Jr. — for a conversation about the family and the art that have shaped the world of fighting. Carlson shares stories about his grandfather Carlos Gracie, his father Carlson Gracie Sr., the early days of Vale Tudo and the UFC, and what it was like growing up inside one of the most influential families in martial arts.Very few people can talk about the evolution of BJJ from this close to the source. Carlson grew up around the people who built it, competed through a very different era, and has spent the decades since watching the art change in ways his father probably never could have imagined.Key Topics:Growing up inside the Gracie family legacyCarlson Gracie Sr.’s impact on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Vale TudoThe fights that helped build the Gracie nameHow the early UFC changed Brazilian jiu-jitsuWhy Royce Gracie was chosen for the UFCWhat made Carlson Gracie’s academy differentOld-school BJJ vs. modern competition jiu-jitsuWhat Carlson thinks modern BJJ is losingWhy self-defense still mattersWhy belts matter less than developmentWhat jiu-jitsu teaches about losing and resilience——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  America Could LOSE Its Place At The Top Of The World Order As Warfare Changes 31.08.2026 1h 54m

  War is changing faster than most people realize, and Dave Cosnotti has seen it firsthand. After more than two decades in Army Special Forces, Dave now works alongside American and allied forces on modern national security challenges involving drones, AI, cyber warfare, critical infrastructure, and the rapidly evolving battlefield.Dave’s biggest warning isn’t that America has already lost its edge — it’s that being on top today guarantees nothing about tomorrow. Warfare is evolving too quickly for old advantages to last forever, and the next world order may belong to whoever learns, adapts, and moves fastest when the rules change.Key Topics:How AI, drones, and cyber warfare are changing the battlefieldWhy Ukraine is becoming a testing ground for the future of warWhy Dave says Russia is still an enemy of the United StatesHow China has played a longer geopolitical game than AmericaWhy America’s four-year political cycles can create a strategic disadvantageThe growing threat to America’s power grid and critical infrastructureWhat happens if communications, power, or supply chains go offlineWhy future wars may target civilians and infrastructure as much as militariesWhy humans still matter more than technology on the battlefieldWhy Dave believes the next 3–5 years could be especially turbulent——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  MKUltra NEVER ENDED! Whistleblower EXPOSES The New Age Of Mind Control (Human Chipping, Telepathy, & More!) 24.08.2026 1h 47m

  MKUltra is supposed to be a dark chapter of American history that closed decades ago. James Martinez doesn’t believe it ever really ended. He argues the experiments simply evolved — from drugs, hypnosis, and behavioral conditioning into technologies capable of collecting brain data, influencing behavior, and potentially reaching directly into the human mind.James has unique views, built upon decades of studying MKUltra. What follows is a conversation shaped by that worldview — skeptical of official narratives, deeply suspicious of where technology is taking us, and willing to go places most people wouldn’t even consider.Key Topics:What MKUltra was actually designed to accomplishWhy James believes the program never truly endedHow mind-control technology may have evolved since MKUltraHuman chipping and brain-computer interfacesWhat happens when thoughts and brain activity become dataWhy James calls cell phones “training wheels” for telepathyHis theories about engineered public personalities and “Manchurian candidates”Why he believes some alien abductions were artificially createdAI, cloned voices, deepfakes, and manufactured evidenceThe technological ruling class James believes is shaping human behavior and the whole worldTranshumanism and the potential merging of humans with machinesWhy James ultimately sees what’s coming as a spiritual battleThis is an action-packed episode! You may not agree with every conclusion James reaches, but you’ll probably come away thinking differently about how much power technology could eventually have over the human mind.——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  He’s Worked With Delta Force, CIA, Apple, & Nike. Here’s What The Best Do Differently 17.08.2026 1h 48m

  Justin Klahn has spent more than two decades inside some of the most demanding environments in the world — from Nike and Apple to DARPA, the CIA, and Delta Force. His job has been the same no matter where he goes: find the real problem, bring the right people in, and figure out what separates a good solution from a breakthrough.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Justin to unpack what he’s learned from working around elite performers, operators, executives, innovators, and fighters. They talk about why the best aren’t afraid to fail, how high-performing teams attack hard problems, why execution matters more than having all the answers, and what happens when driven people realize they can’t control every outcome.Key Topics:- What Justin learned working with Delta Force/CAG, Nike, Apple, DARPA, and the CIA- The problem-solving principle: “Solving the wrong problem well still fails”- How failure builds resilience and exposes the next level you need to reach- Why execution separates people who know what to do from people who actually get results- The importance of identifying the real problem instead of treating symptoms- How martial arts shaped Chad and Justin’s views on discipline, suffering, and performance- What he learned sitting inside high-pressure rooms with figures like Kanye West- Why fear and the need for control can affect even the most capable people- How faith and surrender changed Justin’s understanding of resilienceThe environments may look completely different, but Justin keeps seeing the same principles show up at the highest levels.

  Navy SEAL Craig “Sawman” Sawyer: From DEVGRU To The War Against Child Trafficking 10.08.2026 1h 43m

  Craig “Sawman” Sawyer spent years operating at the highest levels of the military and federal government. But the fight that would come to define his life didn’t begin at DEVGRU or as a Federal Air Marshal — it began when he turned his attention to child trafficking.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with one of his personal military heroes for a deeply personal conversation about Craig’s journey from the SEAL Teams to founding Veterans For Child Rescue. Craig explains what first opened his eyes to the scale of child trafficking in America, how his daughter Aspen was abducted and raped shortly after he launched the organization, and why her decision to fight back only strengthened their mission.Key Topics:- Craig’s path from the Marine Corps to the Navy SEALs and DEVGRU- Why he believes a true warrior’s job is to protect- The founding of Veterans For Child Rescue- The night Craig learned his 18-year-old daughter had been abducted and raped- How Aspen helped put her attacker in prison for 38 years- What Craig has learned about childhood trauma from survivors and veterans- Why he believes good men can’t sit on the sidelines while evil wins- Faith, masculinity, spiritual warfare, and the responsibility to protect the vulnerable- Craig’s surprising perspective on UFO'sCraig spent his career preparing to confront evil overseas. Today, he believes one of the most important battles is happening much closer to home — and that every person has a role to play in protecting those who can’t protect themselves.——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  The FOREIGN TAKEOVER Of America’s Food And Farms 03.08.2026 1h 45m

  America can’t be resilient if it can’t feed itself — and Patrick Montgomery believes we’ve handed far too much control of our food supply to everyone but American farmers.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with the former Army Ranger and KC Cattle Company founder for a blunt conversation about the disappearing American farm, foreign influence over our meat industry, and why food supply needs to be treated as national security.Key Topics:- Why American farms are disappearing- China’s influence over the U.S. pork industry- Brazil’s growing control over American beef- Why America has fewer cattle despite a much larger population- The aging American farmer and the missing next generation- What COVID exposed about our fragile food supply- Why food supply is national securityAmericans have gotten used to food always being there. Patrick’s warning is simple: if we lose the ability to feed our own people and military, everything else becomes secondary.——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  The Church Is FAILING America By Staying Silent | Pastor Allen Jackson 27.07.2026 55m

  The American church has stayed quiet for too long, and Pastor Allen Jackson believes the country is paying the price.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Pastor Jackson for a blunt conversation about churches avoiding so-called “political” issues, backing away from culture, and why biblical truth has been treated like something too dangerous to say from the pulpit.Pastor Jackson goes straight at marriage, biological sex, education, public morality, faith in government, and the role Christians should play in their own communities. His message is simple: the church was never called to hide, play it safe, or surrender the culture without a fight.Key Topics:- Why “political issues” are often biblical issues- How silence weakened the church’s influence- Why pastors are afraid to speak clearly- The culture war inside schools and communities- Faith, freedom, Israel, and the future of America- Why Christians need to stop sitting on the sidelinesThis is not a polite conversation about staying "in the middle." It is a challenge to the church to find its backbone again.——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

  ⁠⁠The System Keeping Americans Sick! Former NFL Player Exposes Broken Health Care 13.07.2026 1h 46m

  America has no shortage of healthcare, yet chronic disease continues to skyrocket. After competing at the highest levels as an NFL player and U.S. National Team rower, Jimmy St. Louis began asking a simple question: why are we spending more on healthcare than ever while getting sicker every year? That question led him away from professional sports and into a mission to rethink how Americans manage their health before disease takes hold.Jimmy explains why he believes the future of medicine is proactive, not reactive. From advanced blood work and hormone optimization to peptides, GLP-1s, stem cells, and longevity medicine, he tells us the truth about using treatments (and what the myths are).He also argues that America is facing more than a healthcare crisis — it is facing a growing health divide. People with access to personalized testing, preventative care, and longevity medicine are getting ahead of disease, while everyone else is left in a system built to treat illness after the damage is already done.Jimmy absolutely tells all in this interview. If there's an episode of ours that might get suppressed, it's probably this one. I'll let you figure out why that is...Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.
