Mostly true tales of barroom brawls, bad decisions, and near misses. From former Navy SEALs to your average badass, every story walks the line between chaos and comedy. It's the stuff that happens when the uniform comes off and the liberty clock starts ticking. Some made it out clean. Some barely made it out at all. Either way, it's one hell of a ride. Pull up a stool. This is Liberty Risk.2025 Ciencias Sociales

    Ep. 70 • Lew Knopp • Navy SEAL on Cheating Death & International Prison 🔱🇺🇸🏴‍☠️
    Jul 22 2026
    On this episode of Liberty Risk, the guys sit down with former Navy SEAL Lew Knopp, whose life somehow reads more like an action movie than real life. After making it through BUD/S Class 161 and serving with SDV Team Two and SEAL Team Four, Lew's story was only getting started. Over the next three decades, he'd survive being clinically dead during a submarine accident, multiple overseas imprisonments, international contracting, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Hollywood, mistaken identity on an Interpol Red Notice, and enough unbelievable stories to make you question whether any one person could actually live through all of it. What makes this conversation special isn't just the stories. It's watching three veteran friends chase one side quest after another until the conversation somehow circles back to the moments that mattered most: faith, fatherhood, purpose, resilience, and learning from the mistakes that nearly cost everything. Of course, it wouldn't be Liberty Risk without a few detours along the way. The conversation wanders through wrestling alligators, running with the bulls in Spain, surviving foreign prisons, meeting Charlie Sheen in Hollywood, fighting camels, and enough dark military humor to keep everyone laughing for over four hours. Whether you're here for the military stories, the unbelievable adventures, or the lessons that only come from living through chaos, this is one of those conversations that reminds you truth is often stranger than fiction. Topics include: Navy SEAL BUD/S Class 161 and SDV Team Two Desert Storm and SEAL Team deploymentsA near-death experience after a submarine accidentLife as a private security contractor overseas International imprisonment and an Interpol Red Notice 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and building Templar Titan Faith, fatherhood, resilience, and second chances Hollywood stories, side quests, and life after the Teams 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ If you're wanting to dive deeper into Liberty Risk lore & hang LIVE with the hosts and other cool people, check out our Patreon Community!

    Ep. 69 • Rachel Cuda • Inside The CIA: The Story They Didn't Want Told 🔱🇺🇸🏴‍☠️
    Jul 16 2026
    From growing up around the SEAL Teams - to building her own career alongside them as a CIA Case Officer - to ultimately building a life with a Navy SEAL husband, Rachel Cuda has experienced the special operations community from a perspective few people ever will. But this story isn't about the SEAL Teams and she's far from a "plus one" - being a Main Character in her own right, you'll quickly realize why we invited Rachel to pull up a chair and a mic at the Liberty Risk table, and why she earned it on her own. Don't expect this to be a four-hour interview (you already know we do way too many side quests to do "interviews" 😂). It's four hours of stories, laughs, friendly sh!t talking, sharing incredible experiences, and eventually, one of the most powerful conversations we've ever had. Exactly what you've come to expect from hanging with us. As always, the conversation goes everywhere. Growing up on Coronado with a father in the SEAL Teams, hilarious stories from life in the NSW community, meeting and marrying a Team Guy (and the awkwardness of him meeting the "father in law"), CIA training at The Farm, surveillance tradecraft, overseas adventures, Russian intelligence, and the kind of unfiltered conversations you've come to expect from spending time with Liberty Risk. But somewhere along the way, the conversation shifts. Rachel opens up about the event that changed her life, being assaulted by a fellow CIA co-worker, the retaliation that followed from inside the Agency when she challenged it, and the fight that ultimately led her to testify before Congress in pursuit of accountability and richteous reform. This is a conversation about family, service, purpose, resilience, and having the courage to stand up for what's right when the institution you dedicated your life to no longer lives up to the values it claims. Topics include: Growing up as the daughter of a Navy SEAL in CoronadoWhat life around the SEAL Teams was really like in the 1990sMeeting and marrying a Team GuyBecoming a CIA Case OfficerTraining at The FarmSurveillance, tradecraft, and overseas operationsHow Russian intelligence really works and working abroadLife inside the CIAWhistleblowing, accountability, and institutional reform 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ If you're wanting to dive deeper into Liberty Risk lore & hang LIVE with the hosts and other cool people, check out our Patreon Community!

    Ep. 68 • Eddie & Andrea Gallagher • The Stories You Haven't Heard 🔱⚖️🏴‍☠️
    Jul 10 2026
    We finally got our MOST requested guest ever on the show! On this episode of Liberty Risk, the guys sit down with former Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher for one of the most unique conversations we've ever recorded. If you're looking for a play-by-play of the trial, there are already several great interviews that cover every detail. That wasn't our goal. We wanted to tell the stories that came before the headlines... and hear from the people who lived through them. The conversation starts where it all began. Eddie takes us from his troubled teenage years, to becoming a Marine Recon corpsman, Marine sniper, BUD/S graduate, Navy SEAL Instructor, and combat Chief leading one of the most aggressive platoons in the Battle of Mosul. Along the way, the guys trade deployment stories, BUD/S memories, military culture, and enough side quests to remind you this is still Liberty Risk. As the story reaches Mosul and everything begins to unravel, Tim Speer joins the table. Having served alongside Eddie and later shared time with him in the brig, Tim brings a firsthand perspective that very few people can offer, turning the conversation into less of an interview and more of old teammates filling in the parts of the story only they know. Then, the conversation shifts one final time. Eddie's wife Andrea Gallagher joins us to tell the story from her perspective. While Eddie was fighting for his freedom inside the brig, Andrea was fighting for him on the outside. She shares what those months were really like, the faith that carried their family through it, the battle behind the headlines, and how that experience ultimately led them to create the Pipe Hitter Foundation, helping service members, law enforcement officers, and first responders facing legal battles of their own. Of course, it wouldn't be Liberty Risk without a few side quests. The conversation drifts through combat deployments, sniper school, prison stories, military culture, psychedelic therapy, and enough relentless ball-busting to remind you that even the heaviest conversations can be made ligher by some well timed humor. Whether you've followed Eddie's story from the beginning or only know the headlines, this episode isn't about relitigating the trial - it's about understanding the people who lived it. Topics include: Eddie Gallagher's journey from Marine corpsman to Navy SEAL ChiefMarine sniper school, BUD/S, and combat deploymentsThe Battle of Mosul and leading Alpha PlatoonThe arrest, brig, and 2019 trialTim Speer's firsthand perspective from the brigAndrea Gallagher's fight behind the scenesFaith, resilience, and rebuilding after the trialThe Pipe Hitter FoundationBrotherhood, leadership, and life beyond the Teams 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ If you're wanting to dive deeper into Liberty Risk lore & hang LIVE with the hosts and other cool people, check out our Patreon Community!
