    David Rutherford Show: Ukraine Hits Iran, Fauci Takes the 5th, WWIII Gets Closer

    Former Navy SEAL and CIA officer David Rutherford breaks down the week two separate wars became one — and why he recognized the exact waterway where it happened. Ukraine just launched drone strikes on an Iranian cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea — a supply corridor David personally helped surveil during his Agency years in Azerbaijan. In this week-in-review, David maps the full escalation picture: US strikes on IRGC facilities inside Iran, Iranian attacks reaching American platforms in Egypt and Jordan, Saudi Arabia entering the fight, Russia striking Zelensky's hometown, and Poland scrambling jets as NATO stands up an $800 billion rearmament. You'll learn why every major superpower is now committed on one side or another, what the loss of Lindsey Graham means for the Senate as midterms approach, and what Netanyahu's and Zelensky's same-week White House visits were really about. Then David turns to the Fauci hearing — the Fifth Amendment on repeat, the autopen pardon, and what the accountability vacuum is doing to the American mindset. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 🕘 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 01:47 – Lindsey Graham's funeral and the Senate power shift 05:10 – Netanyahu and Zelensky at the White House 13:46 – Iran War 28:01 – Fauci pleads the Fifth 37:57 – The breaking point — and what to do with it See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: DC Is Stealing From Vets — Army Ranger David Giralt On The Fight For WY

    David Rutherford sits down with Army Ranger veteran David Giralt, the 35-year-old taking on a ten-way primary for Wyoming's at-large seat in Congress, to ask the question every veteran is asking: why is Washington looking at veterans' benefits and public lands as the pay-for on the national debt? You'll learn why Giralt says the "revenue problem" narrative is garbage, how the death tax is ending family ranching legacies in Wyoming, what four and a half years inside the House Armed Services Committee taught him about how DC actually works, and where he stands on Iran, the MOU, China, and rebuilding America's defense industrial base. David Giralt served 12 years in the U.S. Army, including the 75th Ranger Regiment, and finished his service as a congressional fellow to the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. He grew up in Wyoming and is running to represent the state he was raised in. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/   Timestamps: 00:00 - Preview 00:43 -  Ten candidates, one seat, why Giralt is different 05:57 - Post Military Experience In Congress 08:20 - Lobbyists, temptation, and staying accountable 12:03 - Wyoming's top four issues 14:55 - Public Lands 20:34 - The debt, and who DC wants to pay it 25:36 - Rural Health Care 29:53 - WY Economic Development 32:29 - Energy, permitting, and the death tax 35:24 - David’s Incredible Video 38:13 - Lessons From Combat 43:54 - Iran, the MOU, and the end of endless wars 50:52 - How To Support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: The Center Between Peace & Pain - What An African Safari Taught Me About Living

    David Rutherford breaks down the question he's been chasing since the COVID mental health crisis exploded: is it possible to find peace when you're consumed by pain? You'll learn why peace and pain aren't opposites but coexisting forces, what three male lions stalking a buffalo herd taught David about patience under pressure, and how to find "the center" — the point where you can perceive peace as clearly as you perceive pain — in your own daily grind. David also shares the conversation about suffering with his friend Dr. Dan Luna that set the whole journey in motion. This one launches a theme you'll be seeing a lot more of on the show: The Center. ✅ 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: "America's Sheriff" Mark Lamb: Crushing the Cartels & Draining the DC Swamp

    David Rutherford sits down with Mark Lamb — "America's Sheriff" and former Pinal County Sheriff — now running for Arizona's 5th Congressional District, just days before the July 21st election. Lamb traces his path from small-town sheriff to national conservative figure, taking on cartels and human trafficking on the front lines of Arizona's border, a 2024 U.S. Senate run against Kari Lake, and now his campaign for Congress. He and David dig into what it will actually take to crush the cartels Lamb calls transnational criminal terrorist organizations, including a diplomatic game plan for Mexico and the missed opportunity he sees in the aftermath of the Maduro operation. They also get into DC's consultant class and lobbyist capture, the surveillance state creeping in through FISA 702 and license plate readers, Arizona's data center boom and its strain on power and water, and why Lamb argues real accountability is what will finally restore trust for a frustrated younger generation. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:02 - Welcoming Mark Lamb 3:20 - Trump's Border Wins vs. Congress's Failures 9:38 - DC's Consultant Class & Lobbyist Control 13:16 - Divide and Conquer: How Politicians Keep Power 19:17 - Crushing the Cartels as Terrorist Organizations 26:48 - A Diplomatic Game Plan for Mexico 33:24 - Missed Shots: Maduro, Iran & Cuba 34:24 - Arizona's Economy, Data Centers & the Youth Vote 42:43 - Surveillance State: FISA 702 & License Plate Readers 49:22 - Real Accountability for DC Corruption 55:39 - How to Support Mark Lamb's Campaign   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: Everything You Own Exists Because of Explosives | Matt Barnett

    David Rutherford sits down with Matt Barnett — "Matt Explodes Stuff" on Instagram, with over 250,000 followers — who's turned a lifelong love of blowing things up into a career, a media brand, and his own training ranch. Matt traces his path from an oilfield internship he hated, into unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance and freelance demolitions work, becoming one of the most recognizable faces in explosives. He and David compare notes from opposite corners of the industry and dig into how massive and overlooked it really is — mining, infrastructure, aerospace, entertainment, and the regulatory tangle of the ATF and DOT. They also get into Matt's West Texas property, Porto Sol Ranch, built for small-group training and events for corporate teams, SWAT units, and veterans — complete with UXO capability, live ordnance, tanks, and a demolition range modeled after a military base — plus how Matt stumbled into being an "explosives influencer" almost by accident. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 🕘 Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:02 - Welcoming Mark Lamb 3:20 - Trump's Border Wins vs. Congress's Failures 9:38 - DC's Consultant Class & Lobbyist Control 13:16 - Divide and Conquer: How Politicians Keep Power 19:17 - Crushing the Cartels as Terrorist Organizations 26:48 - A Diplomatic Game Plan for Mexico 33:24 - Missed Shots: Maduro, Iran & Cuba 34:24 - Arizona's Economy, Data Centers & the Youth Vote 42:43 - Surveillance State: FISA 702 & License Plate Readers 49:22 - Real Accountability for DC Corruption 55:39 - How to Support Mark Lamb's Campaign See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: How a Navy SEAL Found Peace After the Teams | Patrick Toz

    Former Navy SEAL Patrick Toz spent his career as the "quintessential team guy" — until a green-team dream ended and he had no plan. David sits down with Pat to break down how he rebuilt himself through metal: custom motorcycles, hand-forged art, and a hard-won understanding of what actually quiets an operator's mind. You'll hear why Pat calls his shop time "mental health," how art therapy at a TBI clinic changed how he saw his own work, and why he now teaches kids trauma-aid and craftsmanship for free through the Summer Brave Academy. David and Pat get into the transition every veteran feels and few can name — the "I feel lost" moment — and what it takes to want, to suffer, and to build again Sponsors:☕ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:14 - Falling in love with bikes 02:44 - Funny Fight Story 03:59 - Getting his first bike 09:20 - Losing friends and honoring them 12:40 - Transitioning out 16:27 - Peace through focus 22:37 - The birth of Summer Brave 34:46 - Finding purpose through work 39:14 - Incredible bike builds 44:59 - Summer Brave Academy & Teaching The Craft See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    David Rutherford Show: COVID Whistleblower Exposes The Biodefense Industrial Complex | Dr. Andrew Huff

    Dr. Andrew Huff — the EcoHealth Alliance insider who went public on the Wuhan gain-of-function pipeline — walks David through how the biodefense complex actually works: who gets recruited, who signs off, and why the accountability everyone's waiting for is never coming. The differentiating move is that Huff spends half the episode dismantling the conspiracy framing on his own side — the 120 foreign bio labs, the Ukraine labs, "one health" — while landing a harder claim underneath it: the system is too big to fail, nobody's going to jail, and the real threat has already moved past gain-of-function to synthetic biology that no regulation touches.

    David Rutherford Show: David Clements Breaks Down the 2026 SCOTUS Election Rulings

    Professor David Clements returns to make his case that a handful of 2026 Supreme Court decisions have reshaped what a president can do on elections without waiting for Congress. David and Clements break down three rulings — the mail-in ballot deadline case, the Slaughter decision on presidential removal power, and the birthright citizenship ruling — and Clements lays out his argument for how each one connects to executive authority under Article II.
