In this powerful Freedom 250 panel on America's 250th anniversary, Chad sits down with Tommy Waller (former Force Recon Commander & President of Center for Security Policy) and Jonathan Hollerman (Air Force SERE Specialist, Grid Expert & bestselling author) to expose the shocking vulnerabilities of the U.S. electric grid.
They break down:
• Why a grid-down scenario could kill up to 90% of Americans within one year
• The 4 major threats: Physical attacks (9-12 sites could black out the nation), Cyber, EMP (nuclear or solar flare), and supply chain infiltration
• Chinese transformers with potential kill switches already in our grid
• Self-inflicted policy wounds and what the Trump administration is doing
• Real-world lessons from Ukraine and how civilians are now on the front lines
This isn't fear-mongering — it's a solvable problem. Learn what individuals, families, and We the People can do right now to push for real solutions and build personal resilience.
🔥 **Action Steps:**
• Educate yourself (links below)
• Contact your representatives — demand grid hardening
• Prepare responsibly: food, water, skills, and community
Watch the full unfiltered discussion from the Freedom Stage.
🛡️ Resources:
• Center for Security Policy: securethegrid.com & centerforsecuritypolicy.org
• Jonathan Hollerman's books & GridIron Consulting
• Grid Down Power Up documentary (coming soon)
Previous deep-dive episode with Tommy Waller also available on The Resilience Show.
