The Resilient Show

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.

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. KEY TOPICS:What Xi Jinping really wanted from his meeting with President TrumpChina's role in Iranian attacks that killed American troopsChina's financial support for Iran and international money launderingWhy Trump's actions in Venezuela and Iran threaten China's oil supplyHow China benefited from America's withdrawal from AfghanistanChina's growing military cooperation with Russia, Iran, and North KoreaWhy Greenland and the Arctic are becoming strategically importantChinese surveillance operations in Cuba targeting U.S. military activityHow a conflict over Taiwan could escalate into a global warChina's potential access to critical American infrastructure and the electrical gridWhy Chang believes Xi Jinping could take increasingly dangerous risksWhat Americans can do to prepare for potential disruptions and conflict

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.

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.

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.
