Today, I sit down with Seth Ryan to have one of the most difficult but necessary conversations we have ever had on this show: school shootings, prevention, and why many widely accepted narratives are dangerously wrong. We break down why avoiding the topic does not prevent violence, how media coverage contributes to copycat behavior, and why awareness and preparation save more lives than silence.

Mr. Ryan brings a rare perspective shaped by service in the Marine Corps, Army Special Operations, law enforcement, federal facilities, and overseas contracting. Drawing from firsthand experience in combat zones, embassies, prisons, and security training environments, he explains why schools are uniquely vulnerable targets and how layered security models—similar to those used at embassies—could dramatically reduce casualties if implemented correctly.

We also dismantle common misconceptions surrounding armed teachers, school resource officers, drills, and gun-free zones. This episode explores the psychology of attackers, failures in current training models, early warning signs, and the unintended consequences of poorly designed lockdown protocols. Our discussion emphasizes realistic training, accountability, mental health awareness, and the moral responsibility to prioritize saving lives over optics or political comfort.
