    David Rutherford Show: MOH Recipient Earl Plumlee on Service, Combat & Veteran Transition

    Thirteen years ago this week, a complex attack tried to erase Forward Operating Base Ghazni — and one Green Beret walked toward it. I got to shoot with Earl Plumlee at a Black Rifle reunion this spring, and I've been waiting all summer to get him on the show. This isn't the battle story — Earl tells that better than anyone on the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast. This is about what the medal actually means to the man wearing it. What you'll hear: • Earl on why he doesn't keep August 28th on his calendar — and the dates he does • The full picture of the Ghazni attack: four IEDs, a 20,000-lb truck bomb that broke down a mile short, and a chaplain with a Purple Heart • Why the Medal of Honor weighed nothing when the President put it on — until he turned around • Hunter or hunted: the mindset Earl used to keep young soldiers alive • "I guarded Obama, Biden and Trump" — service above politics • The VA argument that's going to divide the comments: the country owes you opportunity, not a debt Master Sergeant (Ret.) Earl Plumlee served as a Marine Force Recon operator and a Green Beret with 1st Special Forces Group. He received the Medal of Honor in 2021 for his actions at FOB Ghazni, Afghanistan, on August 28, 2013. He now works with the Special Operations Transition Foundation and Warrior Rising.

    David Rutherford Show: Is AI the Next 2008? Economist Breaks Down the $6 Trillion Gamble | Bryce Gill

    Everybody's screaming that $40 trillion in debt means it's end-of-the-world time — so I brought back the one economist I trust to separate the signal from the panic. Bryce Gill of First Trust returns to the show, and what he laid out is bigger than the debt: a $6 trillion AI bet that has to 10x its revenue by 2029, or it takes the economy down with it.   What you'll hear: • Bryce breaks down why the Treasury's $4 billion bond buyback is "a marketing scheme" — and why rates snapped right back • Why 3% inflation is the new permanent normal in a post-globalization world • The stat that's never happened in human history: retirees are now America's biggest consumer demographic • The $6 trillion data-center math, line by line • The defense-industrial-base warning: world-class AI targeting, nothing to shoot • Bryce's honest midterm read — and the data-center backlash nobody's pricing in   Bryce Gill is an economist at First Trust Advisors, where he works alongside Brian Wesbury briefing financial advisor teams nationwide. He's a repeat guest and the show's resident straight-shooter on markets and the economy. Follow the show for new episodes weekly, and find Bryce's work at the First Trust Economics blog. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 00:00 — The $6 trillion math02:56 — The most resilient economy nobody trusts (AI capex + retirees now drive the economy)06:03 — "The era of easy everything is over" + the Treasury's $4B buyback12:15 — Inside the new Fed & real inflation: why 3% is the new normal18:20 — Reindustrializing America: "We don't have anything to shoot"25:44 — The $6 trillion math in full: why the AI build-out can't pay for itself30:40 — Midterm bloodbath, the data-center backlash & the 2008 parallel See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: Fauci Advisor GUILTY, $533M For Zero Shells & The Clancy Trial

    Fauci's top advisor, David Morens, stood in a federal courtroom and pled guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States — and what he was charged with matters less than what he wasn't. Then the Pentagon's own inspector general confirmed something I've seen from the inside: $533 million of your money bought an artillery plant that has never produced a single usable shell.   ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: Advice to Dads Sending a Kid to College — By a Navy SEAL Dad

    Last week I drove my oldest daughter to a small school up in the Northeast, unloaded five hundred pairs of shoes, broke some furniture putting it together, gave her a quick hug at the airport — and she handed me a letter that wrecked me before I finished the first sentence. This episode is the whole story of that goodbye, and everything I learned about whether eighteen years of lessons actually stick. What you'll hear: — David breaks down the 22 family rules he's drilled into his kids since they were little and reads every one of them — The graduation party he swore he'd never allow (and why he folded) — The memorial tattoo honoring her late father, and the hawk that keeps showing up — How he taught a scared little girl to embrace fear — starting with an elevator — Why every decision you make is an emotional decision, and what that means for your kids — The single best piece of advice he got from another dad   ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: Anatomy of a Color Revolution - How They Actually Work | Libertarian Overwatch

    Have you ever heard of a color revolution? I have — I used to watch them go off around my old area of operations. This week I'm joined by Patrick Pillow of Libertarian Overwatch, who's built the most documented public anatomy of these US-funded "organic uprisings" I've seen — 25 years of them, from Serbia 2000 forward, with the grant filings attached. What you'll hear: • David breaks down how a country gets picked for regime change — and who actually signs off • Patrick walks through the NGO machine: USAID, NED, Open Society, Freedom House, and the midnight printing press in Kyrgyzstan • Why pipelines, air bases, and resources keep showing up behind "democracy movements" • David's Blackwater year in Azerbaijan next to the BTC pipeline • Venezuela as the test case — and why Cuba looks like the next target • The uncomfortable question: is a version of this playbook running in America? Patrick Pillow is an independent researcher whose color-revolution series runs on the Libertarian Overwatch Substack and the Libertarian Institute. He works from primary documents — grant filings, contemporaneous reporting, and archived sources. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
