Guest: William “Red” Redheffer, Former Army Ranger, National Guard Elite Special Operations Detachment, Philadelphia SWAT Officer

Summary:
In this gripping episode, hosts Robert Gowin and Sean Jarvis sit down with William “Red” Redheffer, a decorated former Army Ranger now serving in the National Guard’s elite special operations detachment and is a SWAT officer in the Philadelphia area. “Red” shares his extraordinary life story, including two near-death experiences that left him clinically dead—once during a head-on vehicle accident and again when a railroad stake impaled his head.
