    David Rutherford Show: Is America Weimar Germany? Brandon Gresham On Propaganda, The Divided Right & The Strongman Trap

    Everybody's telling you we're Weimar Germany. The hard right says it, the hard left says it, and both of them want the same thing the Germans got in 1933. This week I sat down with Brandon Gresham — Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of I Came With Fire — who actually did the homework on 1919 to 1933, and he says the comparison falls apart on contact except for one lesson nobody wants to hear. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ What you'll hear: • Brandon breaks down why the Weimar comparison collapses the moment you look at 1919 instead of 1933 • The one question that tells you whether you want the country fixed or just want the other side whipped • How propaganda makes you feel like an individual while it herds you into a crowd — with America First as the case study • Why "your vote doesn't count" is the most useful lie anyone in power can get you to believe • The China and Russia info war over American data centers • What Millennials and Zoomers inherited — and were never taught to maintain Brandon Gresham is a U.S. Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of the I Came With Fire podcast, where he and Army Special Forces veteran Chris dig into history, propaganda and the forces shaping the West. He co-founded Freedom Syndicate PAC, which recruits and funds Global War on Terror veterans running for office. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Retired Special Forces Sergeant Major Tyr Symank spent 31 years in uniform and in high-threat contract work — Green Beret, combat medic, Blackwater, DSS.

    David Rutherford Show: Cuban Resistance Leader: Insurgency, Castro at 95 & the 32 Dead in Caracas | Dr. Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat

    David Rutherford sits down with Dr. Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat — Secretary General of the Assembly of the Cuban Resistance and co-founder of the Cuban Democratic Directorate — days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Cuba will be on an "irreversible path" before this administration ends. Orlando doesn't hedge: there is an insurgency in Cuba right now, and beneath a 95-year-old Raúl Castro no one is in charge. Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat holds a Ph.D. from the University of Miami, has lectured at Georgetown, and has interviewed Cuban nationals captured fighting for Russia in Ukraine. He co-signed the March 2026 Liberation Accord uniting Cuba's opposition. ✅ 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: Earl Plumlee On The Medal of Honor, Brotherhood & the Meaning of Service

    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. ✅ 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: 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.
