- Eddie Gallagher is a retired Navy SEAL. He received national attention when he was charged with war crimes in September of 2018, and subsequently acquitted in July of 2019. Eddie served for 20 years and completed 8 deployments, including tours to both Afghanistan and Iraq.
“Once you see what they do to other humans, you no longer see them as humans” United States Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher.
After hearing just about every one else’s side of this shit-show I’m SO Looking forward to finally hearing HIS side. Thank you for getting him on the podcast, Andy.
He should get the SEALs that accused him next. But something tells me that's not going to happen.
@@rudiratte1 Seems unlikely, I agree. I don't think it would be because of a lack of and invitation from Andy, to be clear, but more so from a lack of conviction in their story on the guests' side. But, I'm just some dude in the comment section - wtf do I know! Truly.
The episode on mic drop podcast with eddy is very good aswell my friend
@@kylemorrison6822 It's so good to see more Ritland pollenation like this! I've been hooked on MikeDrop since I saw Mike on Jocko 2yrs(?) ago. I push his stuff as often as I can. His Patrick BenDavid appearance was awesome.
The Shawn Ryan show was amazing cuz he included his wife and one of his kids side
Andy: “god if someone got into my phone and were grabbing things outta context it might be a wild ride” 😂🤣😂 lmao

LOL
3 hours went by real fast! A terrific episode. Very thankful to have a chance to hear Mr. Gallagher's side. Thanks, Andy.
I was a Marine for 8 years and then joined the Army in 2002 after the 9/11 attacks and stayed 12 years with two combat deployments. I retired in 14' and when I learned of this shit with Eddie Gallagher I was keeping a close eye on it the entire time. I wholeheartedly supported him until the end. They completely FUCKED him over and was definitely a black eye on the Navy for some time to come. Semper Fi Eddie. Enjoy your retirement. You deserve it.
Agreed. I was a Marine of 8 years as well and this is certainly a misjustice of events that took place. It's so sad to turn their backs on one of their own so fast for their own reputation. I could see Eddie being tough to work under or even pushing the lines at times but to put the man away for life on this bullshit beyond me.
@@michaelburig1705 TRUTH BROTHER
So half a platoon of SEALS lied and conspired against 1 person who was telling the truth eh? 😖😖
For this Man to not hate the world for what they did to him ... That is a true testament to his character .
What they did to him, you mean the prisoner he murdered and then asked others to sacrifice their honor and lie for him. Whatever.
he doesn't hate the world because he's happy he got off scott free and is a psycho
I was skeptical of this case, but definitely reserved my judgment on both sides until I had an opportunity to hear Chief speak on it in long form. Sufficed to say, he sounds solid and has my support.
Herman Melville yeah the Navy was chasing a White Whale
all sociopaths sound solid when they speak.
@Nicholas Ovel made 0 sense. Think you should educate your self first. People on the battlefield do things you couldn't imagine doing.
@Nicholas Ovel you seem like a smart guy
@@ka3ax85 but unfortunately douche bags don’t as you so finally demonstrated.
2:45:00 Andy nails it in a way that doesn't come across as holier than thou, and phrases it in a way that is palatable. Big respect for Stumpf.
After listening to this podcast I know for a fact that epstein didnt kill himself.
This isn't Mike drop jeeZ
you think this is bad check out Andy’s Keith Barry podcast that guy got Royally fucked
Yeah, he had a lot of dirt on Trump. He probably said "Look. Either you do it, or we'll do it."
Ole skool Chief teaching these young punks how to stay alive in combat. Semper Fi Chief I'd follow you anywhere. 🇺🇸
Very informative. Thank you for allowing us to hear this side of the story. Eddie Gallagher thank you for your service.
Great interview, thank you for this podcast. Eddie is a true American hero! 🇺🇸💪🏻
John Cook track day winner lol ?
Thank you for allowing him to speak his side
It was good to FINALLY hear the other side of the story.
I hope Mr. Gallagher, and his family, all the best as they move forward from this dark chapter in their lives.
Thank you Andy, and a very big thank you to Mr. Gallagher.
God Bless you both so much for your above and beyond service!!! So happy Chief Gallagher is acquitted!!! So so sorry this happened to our finest warriors! Keep all of you in Prayers!!!
Man guys brought Viet Cong ears home, he took a picture! The Marines stole someone's Skul, painted it red, and kept it but Eddie is a monster for taking a photo!? Fuck that.
I was listen8ng to a marine talk about nam. The said they took pictures of hundreds of dead VC, it was just commonplace. This was a hit job, pure and simple. They wanted a conviction no matter what. Crazy.
Thanks for allowing Chief Gallagher to tell his story.
Again, thanks for having this guy on Andy. Having more information about any situation is good.
Thanks for getting him on your podcast. I was working out with my #freeeddie shirt while listening to this, such Insanity
I feel like every aspect of society is degrading.
MM , odd that you’re probably right and even more odd that it is so prevalent. Good psych paper material.
@@bighaasfly I think everyone is feeling that to a much higher degree than even a decade ago
So I’m just watching this one. It’s 2024. Society has completely degraded. We just had 3 1/2 years of Joe Biden as president. The party threw him out and NOW Kamala Harris is at the helm and will be the democratic candidate. Go Trump
I reckon this will go viral.
Thanks for your wisdom Andy and Eddie. Hindsight is usually 20/20. You two were hard at it for a long time. Enjoy the surf, and the fragrance of the sea. You two are fine gentlemen in this old squid’s book. V/R Mike
Thanks for getting this side of the story out there.
Mrs. Gallagher is a badass lady! Been following this case since hearing her on Mike Drop. After listening to her and brother Gallagher speak on Eddie's behalf I've been waiting for the day this podcast would happen! Thanks Andy
When was she on mike drop?
Same question. I listen to mike drop and didn't see her on there. I went through his archive and dont see her on there
Mike made it private since then
Awesome podcast! It was good to hear Chief Gallagher's story from him. I found it interesting the culture in the teams changing...same thing happening in Law Enforcement. Millenials and selfishness....makes me worried for the future. Wish I would have known you were going to be at SHOT...would have loved to have met you. Thanks for an awesome podcast.
For real. The very backbone of our global superiority is being infected with this millennial BS. And I'm a millennial. I really dislike a lot of my generation
Have you heard any other sides of thisbstory? This dude was OUT OF CONTROL.
It’s not millennials, it’s the older Gen-Zers (born mid 90s) who are the ones pulling this pu55y shit.
There's no way that I could have maintained his level of professionalism after being fucked so hard by his command. He tried to go back to his command and continue work.... after they tried to put him in prison for life... for something he didn't even do. I believe him when he said he could have started a coup. I would have burnt the building down. Fucking hell. Respect to Eddie.
Best podcast I've ever listened to. Cant help but be concerned about the future of our special operations communities, if this is how we are going to treat our warfighters. Things need to change or nobody's going to fucking want to do it anymore, for fear of being turned on by your own country.
I'm sorry that Eddie and his family had to go through all of this.
Thanks Eddie! Best luck to you and your Family.
Best Podcast So far Andy
I have been waiting for this interview.
Thanks for this! Glad he's free and retired!
Dude...I must meet rocket man lmfao. Best story ever
Make a music video with him and Elton.
Lots of slow motion RPG shots.
falconeaterf15 I laughed way to hard at this 😂🤘🏽
Awesomely podcast thank you for letting his side finally be heard.
Hey Andy,
Really good work. Great sense of humor and always good content and guests. Seems like Eddie is shaken from this experience. I'm glad he was acquitted and kept his retirement.
A fantastic podcast with 2 fantastic gentlemen.
You should have Rocket Man on the podcast
Dude best story ever! lol. I agree 100% We need Rocket Man
@Texas Outlaw lol Facts
For some reason those type of people never die.
No wonder the Iraqi Counterparts defended and respected Eddie.
I love the texts eddie and his wife sent each other " i love you so much i want to knock out your teeth and wear them as a necklace " 😂😂😂
Great podcast! Great guy(s)! Glad his story comes out.
I heard the whole 3 hrs. Best episode ever. Ive always wanted to hear this man's side of the story.
Great Show Andy! I dig this guy Eddie. I was corpsman on the "greenside". 29 Palms 3rd Bn 11th Marines. Whatever happened to Poundstone?, I went to Corps school at Great Lakes with him in 1991 and he was headed to Buds. Saw him on that Discovery show where he was an instructor at Buds. I look forward to more shows!
Thank you Andy! Hoping to see Eddie on more podcasts too!
Love your shit brah! Thanks for doing it!
I think getting the old guys on the record is a helluva service.
Mr Gallagher,im sorry you had to go through that,im just a dumb lineman from AZ but i appreciate your sacrifice and my and all our behalfs,love u man,love the show Mr Stumpf
I'm now 2 hours in and...my God.... How broken is our justice system?! I am sickened....absolutely shocked... SALUTE, CHIEF GALLAGHER!
Well it's the UMCJ not civilian justice system, though they are both broken the UMCJ is much more so
This has shed much needed light on the disparate power and influence the prosecution has in military justice.. Adultery is a punishable offense? Sometimes it seemed like Gallagher was being prosecuted by an Iranian imam..
Another good one Thanks Andy.(video).
What a miscarriage of "justice" hope the others unfairly treated, denied legal counsel, etc in the brig are not forgotten.
Awwww shitttttt!!!!! Did yall hear that Stumpf is getting Steven seagal on for episode 121???? Should be aaawwweeeessssoooommmeeeeee!!!!dude, how did you get Gallagher on here!?!?!? This is to awesome man! I'm super stoked for this episode! Hiw cool is this!
That would be epic. I would ask Seagal about the time he told Gene Lebell he couldn't be choked out. So Gene Lebell choked him out and Seagal dropped a log in his pants while he was out.
I’ll make one quick point … regarding the infamous “picture”. If anyone thinks that pictures of enemy KIA being taken by individual service members, press or civilians in a combat theater is a new thing and illegal you are completely naive. Personal opinions may vary. If u think it distasteful so be it. I’m a GWOT veteran. I can remember as a young kid finding a photo album of my VietNam veteran Father. It has several pics of dead Viet Cong. The pics weren’t taken by him they were taken by the unit. The same photo album had a hole in it make by enemy shrapnel from a mortar attack on his base camp while he was absent out on a mission. If he had been there he would have been killed. The difference between his photo album photos and today is he didn’t have the technology to share them via social media! Which is the big issue.
Mr Stumpf and mr Gallagher, you guys are fine men. America is better off having known you🇺🇸
Thank you for allowing Gallagher to tell his side of the story.
Great getting the other side of the story. I’d be cool if you could get Fred Galvin on to talk about the Marsoc 7 getting exonerated.
Great story much live brother Eddie and Andy! I'm also an Andrew Andy. Wish I would've stayed on God's path and kept my faith in him. I couldn't stay infantry after iraq braking my back knees are blown out torn rotator cuffs shattered wrist and much more with the broken fractured hip whatever. Could be 15 years in and at least be to e6 possibly. I try not to have regret and shame in my heart because I made bad choices and was bad with drinking and pain meds before afghanistan. I'm struggling with myself lately. Not God or Jesus christ struggling but my own life and how long my body will hold up before I can't work or worse. If anyone every feels like they are done can't do it anymore or wanna leave his life I beg you to reach out for help. Please hit me up or Andy Eddie another service member we will listen and be there for you the best we can! Sometimes just talking has saved me. I lost my brother 6 years ago to his mental problems and its a hole that grows bigger and darker inside me. Please be kind and helpful to others! Please find Jesus christ and God and repent ask for forgiveness ask for him to take over and to have complete faith in Jesus christ our lord and savior accept him into your heart! Be safe yall take care of yourselves and loved ones and pets!
I had to look twice at the name whoa lol super stoked 😳🙏🇺🇸 #clearedhotmondays
Thank you.
Well done Andy, its your podcast, you have on, who you want too!
Love your work!
Cheers
I've never served so I don't believe I'm qualified to have an opinion. However, I'd love to know Andy's after watching the documentary. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, he kind of admitted to treating the guy like a living cadaver. Again, I have no opinion on if that would change the circumstances but would love to know what people think with that known now.
The man was found not guilty. If we believe in America, in the American jurisprudencial doctrine of innocent until proven guilty, then we have to accept the fact that the man was found not guilty in a court of law. Not just any court of law, but a Military tribunal. He's innocent. He may have made some mistakes, or did some things that your average citizen would find off-putting, but He's innocent nonetheless.
3 sides to every story. This was much needed for Eddie. Thank you Andy for doing this. BUT - When the only person on the jury who voted him guilty was a team guy that came over to Eddie's house for Bible study and STILL believed Eddie to be guilty? Sure, I know the "evidence" was persuading but still. That says something...
Yeah this is three hours of papering over inconvenient facts and making excuses. Seriously need to hear the other side of the story.
You have no idea what effects it has within the military to have your command constantly telling everyone, every time you are mentioned, that they know for fact you are guilty and going away for life.
You have no idea the shit people will do just following orders.
@@ironclad0331 I do know and you’re right. Over a year, 3 combat tours and after talking to team guys that know Eddie I’m still unsure and I’m okay with that. This got way too political and got blown up for the wrong reasons. Just happy Eddie is free.
Great podcast man . 🇺🇸
I really enjoyed the episode, thanks!
The trauma that Eddie & his family had to go through because of this is absolutely heartbreaking.
If this is how “justice” is implemented for one of our nation’s absolute best, then we’re all powerless to the system.
They can absolutely ruin your life, traumatize both you & your family, bill you, and laugh about it. Fucking scumbags.
Yes, thats the power the government has over each one of us. Unless your in the political class. We've allowed our government to grow to this level by indifference of everyday people not thinking they're voice matters.
Andy you really need to get setup with some mobile cameras. Even if its not a studio setup or visually esthetic watching the host and guest(s) interact makes a podcast sooo much more enjoyable. Even if the footage is crap just watching something is much much more engaging.
Lol “single least favorite block of training” -Andy when talking about mar ops at 1:07....that’s some of the most optimistic winner language ever. There’s a lot of different ways to say you dislike something. “Single least favorite”😆
And now we will get the truth. Great job Andy, and my hats off for you both. Bless you
About to start on this podcast but I sure hope they talk about the EOTech!!! LOL
Great Podcast!! 👍
Wow, I've heard his story before but it was more condensed. I ended up listening to the whole thing this afternoon LOL. It's important to recognize that Eddie doesn't make this political- what a good man. I wish him and his family the best. There should be a movie; I'm sure there will be, and I hope that he get's some proceeds. Subscribed.
Unfortunately with the extreme left political direction Hollywood has gone, I dont imagine they'd make his story into a movie. Although it should be.
Mans a hero not a criminal. Hopefully his accusers see justice.
If your podcast were an IPO, I'd buy the stock.
I'm just curious what the SEAL COMMAND had to gain by this . Sounds like they lost more than they were trying to gain .
@@dejesusb8598 Its crazy Without Trump he would be sitting there. still.
Great man and human being
It was nice to finally hear Gallagher’s side of the story, but he left out so many details that would have exonerated himself further for the people who still have doubts. Gallagher never mentioned that he had to perfom a cricothyrotomy procedure on the terrorist (cutting into the throat) in order to establish an emergency airway because the guy couldn’t breathe. Why would Gallagher perform a cricothyrotomy to save the guy, which was working, only to then decide to stab the guy to death??
Gallagher never mentioned that the other SEAL, who admitted to killing the ISIS fighter in court, initially lied to the NCIS and blamed it on Gallagher. They now can’t charge the other guy because the prosecutors gave him full immunity right away. In other words, the guy first lies and throws Gallagher under the bus to get immunity and then he decides to admit in open court that he, not Gallagher, actually murdered the guy because he wanted to give him a compassionate death because he figured the guy was going to wind up dead anyway. Gallagher also never mentioned that the first prosecutor thrown off the case for illegally obtaining defense attorney emails is now under criminal investigation himself.
Lastly, Gallagher never went into detail about how weak the prosecutor’s case really was. Gallagher was being charged with murder, yet the prosecution couldn’t say definitively if the guy was murdered or how he was murdered. There was never an autopsy performed and no actual cause of death established. No pathologist testified that the ISIS fighter was stabbed to death. Gallagher’s hunting knife (the assumed murder weapon) and sheath didn’t have blood or DNA from the guy on them. Gallagher’s clothing that day never had blood on it and was never collected.
May God bless you and your family, Eddie
That story of him beating up the officer in Norway is fuckin hilarious 😂🤣
I was a mustang marine officer I can’t imagine being such a dipshit as a Lt. Much less giving your platoon doc a ration of shit. He’s an integral part of your platoon/section headquarters.
This guy sounds VERY credible. The media and US Navy has had its opportunity to get their message out to everyone. I VERY happy that Andy gave him the platform to get his side of the story out. It sure as hell sounds like ALOT of the chain of command made a bad decision to prosecute due to media attention & ego, and then NOT ONE of them was willing to admit that and dismiss the charges. Disgusting. I was Marine officer and I have been in a situation similar to the Chief. It sucks. It is even worse when someone's ego influences command decisions. Too often our commander's ego(s) become bloated and forget that they aren't a King with unlimited power. This happens to ALOT of General's & Admiral's. They forget that humility is a cornerstone of good leadership. There SHOULD be ALOT of people relieved of command (or duty) after this. Will that happen? Of course not...
Great podcast. I hope Eddie uses NSW and gets a nice pay out. Sad that DEVFRU let that SEAL into their community. And his accusers should see jail time.
America's CPO Eddie Gallagher.
I truly believed Eddie was innocent. Pretty early on actually. However, if he did do all that was accused I wouldn’t give a fuck. The shit he went through wasn’t warranted if he did do what they say he did. Especially because he was innocent and it was clear pretty early on. What is distasteful is how fellow SEALs and higher ranks treated him. Also how they treated him after the commander in chief gave orders. I have the utmost respect for all and every military personnel throughout our entire force. But I truly believe what Eddie said about “millennials”. If it’s really bad in civilian life, I’m sure it’s prevalent in the ranks of all branches of military...Even SEALs unfortunately. And it’s clear after hearing Eddie explain what went on.
Strong men make good times, good times make weak men and weak men make hard times. We are at the end of that cycle sadly. Just look at the "men" of today. Most dont have an ounce of character or a moral compass. Most people of today want everything given to them, they don't want to earn it.
Andy, please video your podcast.
I’m not saying I know what happened but I will say this guy tells a story like my two teenagers when they’re lying to me.
I was going to say something similar. That random “umm **exhale chuckle** statement” is often indicative of deceit in my training and experience.
The other day a group of us were hanging out and one of my friends went around the circle asking us if we could meet anyone in person who would it be .. You would hear Trump, Lisa Anne ( which is a valid answer lol ) , Abraham Lincoln, ETC. ETC... When it got to me I said Eddie Gallagher , Jocko , Andy, or Marcus Latrelle .. But they all knew who they were ..
Strong answer!
It’s spelled Marcus Luttrell, by the way**
Internet Internet hahah .. fair enough!
This is the first I'm hearing he is free.
I hope Eddie goes on Mike Drop and JRE... the world needs to hear the truth
He was just on mike drop and I'm anticipating jre soon
KnottyHooker NeedsANap Yea well this was written before he was on
@@BostonsF1nest well damn, I was just letting you know in case you didnt. Excuse tf outta me.
Man this makes me hate JAG and NCIS right now.
Goddamn Mark Harmon.
The USA TV channels makes everyone think NCIS is all do good heroes and shit, in the Marines, they were more like the cops trying to get OJ prosecuted dropping bloody gloves and shit. Some of them were cool people, but they get incentive pay to find and assign a guilt to even victimless crimes. It's not justice. It's buddy fucking
ironclad0331 The bloody gloves were not planted BTW. He was seen wearing them.
@@RUclips.Algorithmic.Nonsense which ones, the isotoners he wore, or the 2 right handed gloves that didnt fit? The cops involved got in a fair amount of trouble after admiting they planted evidence. Their bullshit is why the murderer walked.
I appreciate your service Mr Gallagher. Unspeakable abuse of power and process.
The way his prosecution acted is criminal
Totally agreed
Enjoyed the q&a, the conversation! Non military. Very glad E. Gallagher is not suffering at hand of brass.
Chief Gallagher is a warrior through and through. You have mine and my family's respect and support! Thank you for all you have done!
Is there a place where the whole story is explained? Like the documentary shows different things. Does he cover that anywhere?
Who is this, Chuck Norris? That shit made me choke! 😂
GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE GALLAGHER & CLEARED HOT PODCAST...and don't you want to flush New York Time Dave Phillips.
I just started listening, I love your guys stories man. They're awesome!!👌
Now that I've heard the entire podcast, I take that back, I love your stories about combat, but good lord this man didn't deserve what he went through🙏🙏
Having listened to Cole and Philipps (writers of books dealing with the case) and watched the Apple+ documentary The Line (I believe) this podcast is a soft ball at best. I don't know what happened but it is sure murkier than Eddie is saying on this podcast.
Great Americans!!!
Thanks
I saw the name and was like oh shit yesss
I have worked with some of my mortal enemies😂😂
