David Rutherford Show: The Return of Man: A Navy SEAL on What Masculinity Actually Means

Jimmy Graham and David Rutherford went through Hell Week together in Class 208. Their paths split into different SEAL teams, different deployments, different wars — and converged again through the CIA's Global Response Staff. Today, Jimmy breaks down what actually happened inside Blackwater before the Fallujah ambush, what the Benghazi movie got wrong, why he punched a teammate on a memorial motorcycle ride, and how losing his closest brother led him to build Able Shepherd — one of the most respected tactical protection training programs in the country. Jimmy Graham is a veteran U.S. Navy SEAL (15+ years, Chief Petty Officer), former CIA GRS protective officer, and founder/CEO of Able Shepherd Emergency Readiness Training in Denver, Colorado. He is also the author of "The Return of Man" and founder of Abel Nation, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to protecting churches, schools, and communities. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee, use code froglogic20 for discount: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ [https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/] 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ [https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

David Rutherford Show: A Navy SEAL's Memorial Day Message - Remembering The Sacrifice

On this Memorial Day, former Navy SEAL and CIA officer David Rutherford does what his family does every year: he reads the names. Then he walks through the full cost of American warfare — from the 25,000 dead in the Revolutionary War to the 150,000 veterans who have taken their own lives since 9/11 — and makes the case that sacrifice is the single idea that holds civilization together. This isn't a generic tribute. This is a man who has been part of what he calls "the culture of death" since he was 23 years old, asking you to take 60 seconds and contemplate what it cost for you to have what you have. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee, use code froglogic20 for discount: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ [https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/] 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ [https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

David Rutherford Show: #1 Economist Warns - The Fed Turned 66% of Gen Z Socialist

68 cents of every dollar in your wallet were printed in the last 18 years. The other 32 cents took 200 years to create. That's what the Federal Reserve actually did to your money. Brian Wesbury is the Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors, former Chief Economist for the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress, and ranked the #1 economic forecaster in America by The Wall Street Journal. He's been warning about this for decades. David and Brian break down how quantitative easing tripled the money supply, why that created the biggest generational wealth gap in American history (boomers won, Gen Z got crushed), how Jerome Powell's Fed enabled a government spending addiction at artificially cheap rates — and what the new Fed chair Kevin Warsh inherits now that the bill is coming due. They also dig into the Iran conflict's impact on oil and inflation, why two-thirds of Americans under 30 now believe socialism is a better system, and what Brian would tell every young person about building wealth in this economy. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee, use code froglogic20 for discount: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ [https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/] 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ [https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/] Follow Brian on X: https://x.com/wesbury [https://x.com/wesbury] Timestamps 00:00 — How the Fed Tripled the Money Supply in 18 Years 09:42 — Why Two-Thirds of Gen Z Now Believe in Socialism  12:19 — Jerome Powell Created This Mess 15:14 — Warsh vs. Powell: The Fed's Civil War 27:25 — The Fed Caused the Great Depression, the '70s, and Covid Inflation 31:41 — Iran, AI, Tariffs, and the Most Complicated Economy in History 33:55 — Building Wealth, College Is Overrated & The Soul of Americans 44:09 — Brian's Message to Every Young Person: Be Who You Are See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

David Rutherford Show: Starting A Militia? Navy SEAL Explains Why You Will Lose

Look, I'm seeing it everywhere — people calling for raising militias, starting a new revolution, fighting back. And I get it. The frustration is real. But as a former Navy SEAL and CIA officer who's actually been in rooms where these operations get planned, I've got some bad news for your militia fantasy. What you'll hear: — David reads from the Declaration of Independence and highlights the line nobody ever quotes the one where the founders tell you NOT to do this lightly.  — The full American rebellion scorecard: 1 win, 7 losses, from Shays' Rebellion to Wounded Knee and why the pattern hasn't changed.  — The government's legal toolkit to destroy you: the Patriot Act, FISA 702, RICO, asset forfeiture, and why your Signal chat isn't as private as you think. — Five things that actually work to push back legally and constitutionally including one David learned from the Amish. — Why getting your own house in order is the most important thing you can do before trying to change the country. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee, use code froglogic20 for discount: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ [https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/] 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ [https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

David Rutherford Show: Saving Lives Under Fire - Marine Recon Corpsman Tom Rader

Tom Rader spent 18 years in emergency medicine — from the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth to a Marine Reconnaissance Battalion in Iraq's Al Anbar Province. He's treated cardiac arrests in the Bronx, trained Marines to handle trauma before their first deployment, and watched his own mother revived in a non-viable state by a friend who didn't know when to stop. David and Tom break down what combat medicine actually teaches you about decision-making, why civilian EMS training is built around passing exams instead of saving lives, the psychological toll of watching people die on their worst day, and why most Americans have lost the basic ability to handle their own emergencies. Tom Rader is a former Navy Corpsman (E-6) who served with a Marine Reconnaissance Battalion in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He's a civilian paramedic, a Wilderness Medical Associates instructor, and currently teaches wilderness medicine to wildland firefighters and first responders. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee, use code froglogic20 for discount: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ [https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/] 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ [https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/] 📕 Get David's novel, The Poet Warrior: https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/the-poet-warrior [https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/the-poet-warrior] 📰 Sign up for David's newsletter for free coaching tips, updates, and more: https://davidrutherfordletter.substack.com/ [https://davidrutherfordletter.substack.com/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
