And we worked.
He was a SEAL.
We contracted at CIA together.
And he got really wrapped up in the opiates.
He was part of Red Wings, if you know what that was.
It was the biggest loss in SEAL team history at the time.
Anyways...
When we left the agency, he was living with me for a long time, and I was trying to save him.
And then when I was in Florida, I moved to Tennessee, and he overdosed shortly thereafter.
But while I was still in Florida, he was a pro hockey player before he was a SEAL.
And so while he was all jumped out,
He would tell me, I'm going to start the Wounded Warriors hockey team and the Panthers, the NHL team.
They're going to sponsor it.
I'm like, okay, Gabe, right on.
And best of luck.
The day he died, the Panthers went over to his condo to tell him that they were going to fund his fucking team.
and they found him dead what he had overdosed and so fast forward the teams that's his jersey right there the uh panther warriors oh my gosh and they still funded it so let's fast forward right so i always i'm always talking to gabe and uh i did this interview overseas that uh
ruffled a lot of feathers with the Taliban.
Me and a guy legend had broken the story that the U.S.
government's sending $40 to $87 million a week to the Taliban in cash.
