A FISA 702 renewal for mostly Republicans. The largest Republican primary in United States history from a funding perspective. Ceasefire on shaky ground with crazy short stock selling. And finally, what we've all been waiting for. More alien document releases today on the David Rutherford Show. Oh, foreign. What's up everybody? Welcome back to the David Rutherford Show. I'm your host, David Rut Rutherford and Jordy Buddy. I tell you what, this week was, was pretty interesting for me again on the road out there talking to Americans. I was in Texas and Dallas and Austin this week and, and man, I love being in Texas. I always, people have great opinions about all kinds of stuff. And, and I was at this very kind of, you know, informal dinner discussion. Great. At Bob Steakhouse in Austin on Thursday night. And I was in there with a top advisor and he invited all these very successful people from all these different walks of life. There was a very famous screenplay writer and, you know, a couple people that were about ready to have massive exits on their, their companies. You know, and it was this very eclectic group. And, and you know, I was supposed to lead kind of this Q and A or he was going to ask me questions. We talk about performance and leadership and you know, the, the, the positive application of pain. All the typical stuff that I talk about when I'm out there doing my, my thing, right? And, and then we stopped and then the questions started for me, like, what do you think about Iran? Is it possible to win? You know, what do you think about what. How are the, how is AI gonna affect everything? You know, and it was just like, and all of them look at me and I'm sitting there and I'm like, what do you really want to know?
Jordy Buddy
That's. That is the question right now.
David Rutherford
And, and as I started go delivering what I thought was just basic facts that everybody out is paying attention know, because I figured most everybody lives in an airport like I do and spends hours in my airport travel scrolling, scrolling through, you know, hundreds of articles on X and the gram and all the other places, you know, collecting information so I can be prepared for what, for these discussions and the show, right. And so I hit that moment where I got a really stark wake up Call as I have traditionally in many of these typical situations. And I realize most people are so damn busy running their companies, paying attention to their families, you know, doing their thing that, you know, what they're doing is they, they see a few things at night when they get home, after dinner, in bed, before they go to bed, doing their doom scrolling a little bit. And they, they're not reading, they're not going to the sources, they're not digging into anything, which is all right, it's cool. People have busy lives. But I quickly began to realize either I'm nuts or people are grossly under informed.
Jordy Buddy
Yes, both.
David Rutherford
I knew you're gonna say that. I appreciate that. Well, thank you. So I decided, what am I gonna do for recording, you know, this weekend? And instead of doing a wonderful Mother's Day show, which I, I was considering, and back off because everything's too crazy. And by the way, all the world, all the love in the world. To my beautiful wife Jana, who is a mother of my four children and just does an incredible job. Kudos to your beautiful wife and, and your, you know, your, your beautiful family there and to my mom and to your mom and to all the moms out there, God bless you. Thank you for doing all you do. But man, I had to go down this rabbit hole today. I could not restrain myself.
Jordy Buddy
Jordy, even, even, even the wives, the mothers are worried about this stuff too. But it's kind of funny. Like we saw something about like the alien documents, which we'll talk about, but just as a tease, even my wife was like, yeah, there's like aliens, it's fine. But like, have you seen health insurance costs? Like, I'm so busy with other stuff. I'm so concerned about other things. Like, it was just completely a not event. Even though the government just dropped the biggest alien document file of all time.
David Rutherford
Biggest of all time. And I'll get to that. But first I want to start with the FISA 702. Right now. What most people like, what the hell is FISA702? Well, basically, there's a special court out there in the justice system, in the federal justice system that you can approach and say, hey, we want to run a surveillance operation, you know, through the FBI, because, you know, the CIA has pretty much carte blanc to run basically any international, anything overseas operations to spy on people. It's what they do with NSA and some other intelligence organizations out there. But the FISA 702 is unique because it authorizes the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to jointly Target for up to one year, persons reasonably believed to be located outside of the United States to acquire foreign intelligence information. And now it requires an order from the Foreign Intelligence Service Court, that's fisa, whatever, approving certifications, target procedures, minimizing procedure, whatever. Now, the kicker to this freaking thing is that it has been used to spy on Americans. Now, how do they do that? Well, they pick a foreign person and then they open up this net. And so then who, if anybody, in any case whatsoever in, you know, connected to this person, right? And they're an American, that puts them legally within the space and scope of that. That observation. The most famous one over the last 10 years or so has been Donald James Trump, right? The President, United States, which started with Crossfire Hurricane by the FBI back in, in 2016, which led and then doubled down with the Obama administration, basically telling Brennan, you know, hey, General Flynn was communicating with the Russian foreign minister. Boom, FISA that motherfucker. And let's go to town. And then that opened up the web for everybo Trump orbit, right? And they did that. And this is what makes this case so freaking bizarre to me is that, you know, that's all we've heard about coming out of this administration, Both in the 20, in 2000, from 16 to 2020, in the 2020 race, and during the time Biden was in office. Because then, you know, they took Pfizer to a whole nother level, and I'll read you some numbers, and some of the people that they ended up spying on, which is nuts, and I'll get that in a second. But then again, we've heard it at. When he was running for 2024. So I literally thought that was going to be one of the cornerstones of the Trump administration was not only to go after all the people who broke the FISA law, technically. Well, they didn't technically do it because they were in that web of investigations and that the net, if you will. And, and so, you know, there's all these targeting procedures, and, you know, in the law itself, they're very distinct. You cannot. Look, you cannot do any US People whatever, because you have to comply with the Fourth Amendment, all right? There's no bulk collection, no incidental collection, which means US Persons communication with targets is possible and subject to minimizing the query rules, right? So they, they have all this loose vocabulary or legalese that gives just enough gray area so you can wrap those Americans in that web. Now, what's interesting is when, you know, all of the, the, the, when the 502 came up for renewal and that's what they, you know, it consistently has just keep, kept coming up for renewal and they keep both sides of the party keep advancing it forward. Why? Because it doesn't matter what side you're on, you want to be able to use this right for bad guys. Don't get me wrong, they're out there definitely going after bad guys. I, I know a few cases that they went after bad guys and wrapped up, you know, people that were working in the United States, whether they were Americans or had Greece visas or green cards. So you want that capability. The problem is, you know, when it starts to become more sweeping in nature where they start to say, you know what, let's just say here's his network, we throw it into IA you know, into AI and the dude has, I don't know, let's say, let's say this foreign dignitary or financier has, I don't know, let's say there are 2 million people following them on Instagram, right? Or whatever, whatever that connection. Or you look at his phone data and his phone or his emails have 8, 000 emails that have been sent out. Well, guess what? Every one of those is potential for it right now. Here's the thing there. I asked, I asked my good friend Grok, I said hey, you know how many U. S persons have been caught up in this? And there says there's no precise count of incidentally surveilled U. S person that doesn't exist.
Jordy Buddy
However, it was on purpose, that's why.
David Rutherford
However, however there are available statistics US Person queries, right? And what is a query? A query is the FBI or homeland or one of the DOJ basically looking at the database because as we know from Edward Snowden, pretty much every single electronic communication that has taken place in the modern era on your phone is getting wrapped up in the NSA right now. They aren't specifically looking at it, but if they wanted to target your number, your email, your name, your social, boom, it pops all up, right? So and this, this, that only gave me, it was interesting, only gave me 21 to 25. So. Ready, let's go. Queries from 21, 3.4 million due to high batch queries. Now I'm not quite sure what high batch, but obviously I'm thinking it's, it's probably a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand at a time, right? High batch queries 22, 119,000 to 204,000. A sharp drop off after reforms had been put right in an opt in thing for 702 data 23507000 of further D publication and counting 245005518 major decline and 25A 7413. Right. Now you know, what you have to begin to recognize is that other, other other agencies such as the nsa, the CIA, the nctc, they can talk far fewer, but they're able to target more because they have a classified structure of information collection, right? And so they can say we're going to target this person, we're going to go out there and if they keep it in that classified section, it's, it's much easier to target and drill down on it. Right? All right, so broader con, broader context, the number of seven Pfizer 702 targets, right. Has been 2,240 6,000 people in 22 rising to 350,000 in 2025. So it actually specific people went up after Trump got elected into office. So guess what, if you think just Biden was breaking the law or Obama was breaking the, or whatever because this is breaking the law, because your fourth Amendment is pretty much just destroyed with this type of thing. I think there's some other challenges in there from 7th amendment, some other amendments that are really very controversial. So when I went in and I said who is the most controversial people? Well one, we know that the Trump and the Trump campaign. Here's Some other interesting one, 19,000 donors to a congressional campaign were, were in a batch query in 2021 and an FBI analyst conducted a massive batch job using identifies over 19,000 to a single unnamed congressional campaign. All right, so now we know conclusively with that information that they are going after congressional people running or congressional people in the seat. Right. Whether it' Congress or, or the Senate as well too because there have been some senators right? Now also there was a query on George Floyd protesters. So that came obviously from the Trump campaign or the Trump administration. At least 133 individuals arrested during the protests were then batched. Right. Queries on January 6th. Because now what we do know and obviously is we understand that, but Tulsi Gabbard has opened up a massive investigation from outside source money right overseas funded the George Soros of the world. The other people that are funding back end groups like Antifa, which has been targeted as a terrorist organization. So imagine how that opens up if one single dollar from anybody that's been classified as a potential threat to the United States, that any dollar amount goes into a batch of people that that money somehow went to campaigns and somebody got Paid, you're automatically under the FISA evaluation process, which is, is what it is. How about some other members of Congress, right, And state law makers. An analyst queried at least the last names of a sitting US Senator and state senator. Other queries with Social Security number of a state judge who had complained to the FBI about civil rights violations. Separate queries targeted U.S. congressmen only using last name and other public figures. There have been queries on journalists, right? And we also know, get this, we know this, that Tucker Carlson signal chat with Putin's people was hacked and he was contact as well. So we know major journalists, congressmen, senators, protesters, pretty much every single motherfucker on the planet if they wanted could get this FISA 702 query. Wait, wait, wait. I, I don't believe that's true, Rut. I think that's not the reality. Well, guess what, get bent. You're lying to yourself if you don't think that the Patriot act has evolved into a monster spying capability for pretty much all of the five eyes because they can request queries from us through their connections within those five eye agreements. We're all part of the, the, the Patriot act as well too. All right, so you know, basically I'm saying all that to say this. You know you had when this came up for the vote a few weeks on April 29th for a three year reauthorization of this 702. The bill passed overall 235 to 191 with 42 Democrats also voting yes, which is awesome of course, and 22 Republicans voting no. And I'll get to those who voted no. Now I started going down the list of people who vote Republicans who voted yes on this thing and it's pretty much crazy, right? You just go down, I look at how many Florida people are on here. So being in Florida, Barakis in Florida, Buchanan in Florida, Comac in Florida, Diaz, Bellart in Florida, Donald's in Florida, Dunn in Florida. Fine in Florida. Geez, keep going, keep going, looking for more Florida. But it, I mean the list is absolutely massive on Peep Webster in Florida. Yeah, so what the real list is, I think people that have believe in the Constitution are those who voted nay on this. And so the people who voted nay were Biggs from Arizona. Boebert, Colorado. Breach in Oklahoma, Burchette, Tennessee. Burleson, Montana. Crane, Arizona. Way to go Crane. Way to go. Eli Downing, Montana. Fulcher, Idaho. Gosser, Arizona. Harris, Maryland. Massey, Kentucky. Norman, South Carolina. Ogles, Tennessee. Perry, Pennsylvania. Roy, Texas. South Texas. Sparks, Indiana.
Announcer
That
David Rutherford
so all right, if you say you're maga, right in my mind that says you're not going to allow for spying on people, right? All of that, there could be amendments that are built out into this. And the number one thing that these people tried to get in this extension was what, Jordy, what was it? Do you know?
Jordy Buddy
Oh Lord, I have no idea.
David Rutherford
Warrants. If you're going to spy on an American citizen or wrap them up in these queries, there needs to be a specific warrant that goes on file. So if you can FOIA the American government and say, have I been spied on with a 702? That will come out legally and you can understand that.
Jordy Buddy
But that would make it more difficult to spy on Americans. That's the problem.
David Rutherford
Aha. Hell yeah, it is. And we wouldn't want that. We wouldn't want to make it more difficult. All right, all right. So the reality is you're getting spied on whether you like it or not. Hoo ya. Good job. All right, the next one this leads me to, which is fascinating and I, I'm pretty sure that this guy's being spied on right now. Especially if any money has come from overseas. And this is the Thomas Massey Ed Gallerin race. Now why makes this race so unique? Right? One, first and foremost, it's not because if you're not familiar, this race is already. This is a primary, this is not a main race, right? This is a primary. This is the largest primary in the history of, conducted in, in history in Kentucky in terms of money spent for this race. And that's a big deal, right? Because what are we always saying? What's America first mag? Always saying we gotta get big money out of the races because once big money comes in, and I don't think this is debated by any normal American person like you or me or Jordy or anybody that's sane. The only people that like to kind of talk out of both sides of their mouth, right Are what are politicians, right? Because politicians need the cash to spend ads to break through, even though they now are beginning to realize that the younger generation doesn't watch TV and so they're wasting money. But they're still considerate because who goes to vote? Hands down, Boomers. Boomers are still getting up out of their Lazy Boys, they're turning off MSNBC or Fox News and they're going to the polls to vote, right? So this is still. So they're still watching tv. So these ad spends are still in, but guess what, they're, they're bombarding social media. Every bit is right. Your ad spends on social media for sure. All right, so this now though is on the precipice of becoming what the most funded primary Democrat or Republican in American history. Thomas Massie just did an interview with Tucker Carlson where he says it might come into about 30, 30 plus million dollars on both sides because Massey has super PACs rolling too. All right, so let's just get break this down a little bit. All right, so this is Massey for Congress. His campaign total race so far are 4.9 million. Some people say as of late April it goes up to 5.54. All right, now the breakdown, 98 of our individual contributions overwhelming smaller dog much unim unit unitemized is less than 200. All right, small individual contributions less than 262%. Totals and available summaries. All right, pack contributions minimally around 53, 000. Right. All right, so Kentucky local Indo endorsers total. Let's go Q1 993 Kentucky donuts including 401. And that's at a hundred totaling 190000 including 401 from Kentucky. Dash four 99, 000. All right, he has about 1.7 million cash on hand. He's in a big money raise right now. And again, if you're not sure who Massey is, he is a Republican, but he's a broader national libertarian, kind of the liberty movement, small donor bases, but he really more like America first. Right. And he voted against the FISA stuff amongst other things. And if you're not familiar what's going on, President Trump has basically come out against Massey, calling him low iq, calling him traitor, calling him a liberal. One of the super pacs just posted an AI generated video of him holding hands with Ilhan Omar and one of the other squad members walking together and smiling and actually has them walking into a hotel room, I guess insinuating that they're sleeping together. Right. AI is going to make political campaigns to a whole nother level of whether you think it's atrocious or you think it's funny like I do. Because guess what? We're not going the other way. And if you ever thought there was morality in politics, then you should probably just go watch Sesame street from now on. Because guess what? It ain't, it ain't moral in any way, shape or form. You know that. I know that. So let's put our, our big boy pants on and let's move forward and just realize it is what it is. All right? So let's do Ed Galleran. So Ed Gowering's an interesting character, right? He was a former Navy seal, served the country, a farmer, business owner. Looks great. I mean sounds great. And I've seen a couple the interview interviews with him. It is interesting to note that he refuses to debate Massey. There's been eight invitations. They even had an actual debate with Massey and a local news reporter that Gowen didn't show up at. But let's just talk about his money raised. And this is who Trump is supporting. So total raise 2.39 million as of 3-1-31, 3.16 by as of late April. All right, 99 individual contributions, mostly itemized larger checks. 97 on Q1 are, are slow, are, are, are larger checks. So 99 of his individual are bigger checks. Right. His direct pack has a hundred thousand, uh, from, uh, the RJC pack. Uh, the Kentucky local is minimal, very minimal at 2.6 early on. Roughly 40,000 Kentucky donors in Q1. Vast majority of his money's coming from out of state. He has cash on hand about 1.3 none, fewer donors overall, heavily reliance on larger individual contributions from notable packs. Right. All right, outside packs, Pro Gallerin, outside Super PACs. These are mostly coming through three billionaires that have donated. That's Paul Singer, John Paulson, Miriam Adelson, huge checks from there. The RJC Victory Fund, 3 million plus the UDP million now pro Massey, anti gallerin. There's the Kentucky first that has a million on Massey ads. Jeff Yass, which is a mega donor, Pennsylvania billionaire. I think he's put, he's a free, frequent rand Paul Libertarian. 7.5 million to the Protect Freedom pack, which transferred 1 million to Kentucky First. Pro Freedom pack, Libertarian Rampart lined 500,000 and some media. Kentucky Fourth pack defeating Communism pack at 1.8. I thought that was interesting. And the total pro Massey outside is about 6 million and up. Now what's this? Why is this so important? Well, it's important because what you have is you have outside money that is now heavily engaged in congressional seats that are contentious seats Right. Now here's the deal on, on all the stuff that, that, you know, Massey has pretty much voted 90% with the Trump administration. That 10% is stuff he doesn't believe in because of his libertarian beliefs. Right. I. E. The 702, the Epstein files, which I think is the primary source of the, the dysfunction coming out of the Trump campaign or the Trump House because Massie's been incredibly vocal against Trump and not having his support of all the documents. Right. And there are still. The DOJ has not released all of the, the 302 of FBI interviews from victims they haven't interviewed. They haven't gotten rid of some, some redacted names. And the big one is Leslie Wexler. He. Which, and what we've seen is there's no continuum follow up investigations or people being arrested for their affiliation, association and complicity, uh, with supporting Epstein in his illegal activities. Right. So because of that stance, Trump is all in again. Why? Because he's quoted by MTG as saying she, he said this to her. If the Epstein's files are released, it's going to hurt my friends. Right. And whatever that Epstein class is. And so Massey's gone into paint on it. So guess what? He's, he's not a real impact because they have a big enough support within the MAGA movement or the core MAGA movement or the Trump MAGA movement now because it's in like four factions and I'm going to do a show on, on what that looks like here soon. Right? You, you have basically Massey voting against and sometimes it's like 430 some to 5 or whatever it is and Massey's usually one of those ones on those, those votes and so they want to get rid of him and so what do they do? They invest. Get these outside billionaires to come in. Invest in blitzkrieg. Now fact is that the last three Massey congressional races have. He's had 72% margin in the primary, 75% margin in his first 85 rough polls are showing dependent on polls and who knows what polls are saying because polls can be bought off. Polls can be whatever. He's had about 1% lead in this. So when you think that outside money isn't going to disrupt any smaller congressional. If they are problem for whoever the party that's in power. You're wrong. It's just the way politics works and it's something to pay attention. If we want to get back to political efficiency, we have to get rid of the super pacs and their investment. It's got to go back to individual contributions and that's it, right? That's the way it's got to be. And term limits. But don't get me started on that. All right, let's pivot. But before I do it, I just won't tell you black rifle coffee is the best coffee I've ever drank in my life. Life. All right. It just is, dude. And I'm not saying that because I love Evan Haer, he's my boy. It's because it's good. They don't just find. They don't just white label somebody else's beans. They go, Evan travels all over the world, they find the best beans. They got their own. What do you call them? Roasters. All over the place, they. And you know what my favorite part is, is they're committed to veterans. They hire a ton of veterans. They support veteran causes, got great coffee. And I'll tell you what, their ads are awesome. I just saw an ad out this week. You ought to check it out. It's all about the. Was the Mother's Day stuff. And, you know, they got tons of sales and all that. I know it's going to be late. It's going to release after that. But they've got great discounts going right now. But they did this great ad where these five kids with Nerf guns take down Matt and a buddy inside to riff to rescue this teddy bear, and they just destroy him John Wick style. So if you want a hilarious company putting out great content, doing great for veterans with really great taste in coffee, Black rifle for coffee, dude. And if you want a discount, just punch in Frog Logic 2. 0. That's Frog Logic 2. 0. Get a great discount. You're helping me out because I'm supporting them. They need to know, hey, Rut's supporting us out there. He's doing his job, all that. But I do it anyways, man, because I truly love the organization. God bless you, black rifle. Thank you. All right, if you're like me, I've got elderly parents, and I'm trying to figure out what the future looks like with them. And so one of the things we have to evaluate is what their life insurance is about, or even me at my age, it's critical. Now I've got a younger family.

Oh, you know why it is. And, and it's gonna keep getting up there, boy. Now I will tell you this. This week on one of the, the presentations I gave, we had one of a big economist that spoke there too and he was saying that actually the American economy is doing pretty good. However, spending is mostly coming from guess who? Retired boomers, that's who. Where the most of the economy is driving, right? Because they're retired, they've saved a ton of money in the markets, all this. And so they're out there spending. You go below that, it shrinks, you go down to zoomers, man. And it's all, it's negligible. So the economy overall is healthy. However, with the. There's some thought he gave some thoughts about upcoming AI and what that might do. I'm going to talk about that in an upcoming show, AI Disruptor or what these really brilliant guys who did this research, research project called the AI trap where he these two dudes, one from UPenn, one from BC, talk about how mid level white collar managerial administrative class is going to be removed first and what happens as a result. That's another show, right? All right, so the ceasefire, this is the big one because oil is keep seeming to go up. Now get this, we're pumping more oil than ever in the United States, right? So we have more oil, we're selling more oil than we ever have, right. We've got oil reserves going now. We're also got the thing with Venezuela's going great. So this is what's taking place. So he said ultimately we should be fine, should be. But again nobody's got a magic ball. And so where things are kind of going on, there's been this ceasefire in place for a little bit announced on April 8. Now there have been little things going on here and here. The most notable is that, that Israel keeps bombing the out of southern Lebanon, right. They're trying to push Hezbollah out of there as they say, but they're flattening entire villages. A little thing upsetting with me is like some Christians are getting bombed in there as well their villages that have been around a long time. But you know, this is Israel's opportunity. Clean house. So I think that's probably what doing. So that's a distraction for sure. There's also been some little targeting going back of of the the Gulf states, like little shots at each other out there. But for the most part it's been in hell and hold until when? Just basically yesterday, right? They made a run, a couple ships went through Iran fired some stuff, destroyers fired back. The shank sank some ships. We've got a video of Trump talking about that right now. We'll play that.
Announcer
If you don't have a deal by Wednesday, when the fire ends, will you extend the ceasefire or will you start attacks again?
David Rutherford
Maybe I won't extend it. Okay, but the blockade is going to remain. But maybe I won't extend it. So you have a blockade and unfortunately we'll have to start dropping bombs again. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. I think it's going to happen. So there you see the man talking about it right here. You know, I always crack me up. Well, you know what I wish I could do? A Trump man, he says basically, if, if they want it to be done, they can make it done. If they don't, it's going to escalate. We're going to bomb the hell out of them. It's just the way it's going to work. So now, one of the interesting thing that's going on and I wanted to know what kind of some of the other groups were saying, and basically Israel has come out and there is a temporary halt to strikes in Iran, but they're still pounding Hezbollah. But Netanyahu says the ceasefire, quote, a stop on a way. On the way, full objectives crippling Iran's and this is their objectives, full objectives to cripple Iran's missile programs and then to destroy proxies. So that's the key thing to understand by Netanyahu when you're going to destroy proxies. I think you need to take them literally. They want to kill every Hezbollah or who or, or a Hamas person that exists. That's the extent of, of that war. So that's tough guy. And to kill everybody in Iran who has any ill will till Israel. Right. Because that would probably be considered a proxy. So pretty much they want to go in and wipe Iran off the map. That's what I would suggest. Right. That's what they.
Jordy Buddy
This is the, this is the FISA section 702 of war.
David Rutherford
That's right. That's right. Right, right. Also it goes. Remember the show we did about what, how legally we can destroy people back from. From that this falls into all that. That, that legalese from. From 9 11. That's what we're still operating, by the way, in terms of being able to wage this conflict on. Great. On this nation. All right. And then the other thing he said is we will achieve them either by agreement or by Resuming the fright fighting as end quote. Next quote, our finger is on the trigger, end quote. That's Netanyahu. Now Iran came out and rejects purely temporary ceasefires. Insists a permanent one, a cohesive deal addressing all regional issues and has submitted a counter proposal 10 point plan including full sanctions, lifted war reparations, security guarantees against future US Israel attacks and Iranian role in the Hormoz straight of Hormuz security now accuses the US of violations blockade tanker strikes demands blockade lifted before substantive talks begins. Foreign Ministry calls the latest US proposal a wish list and unrealistic maximalist. Still reviewing but has no not formally accepted. The Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi and other officials emphasize Iran will end the war quote, on its own conditions, end quote. Vote and open to mediated talks, but wary of U.S. pleasure. All right, so you have the two major players basically saying you got to do this and you got to do that. We're kind of in the, in the middle trying to figure out how to get out of this thing. Right. And so it doesn't look like Israel and Iran will ever agree on anything. So it really comes back to us. Now the other people that are playing a role in this are Pakistan because that's where the negotiations are taking place and they continue to facilitate these high level direct talks. Right, Right now it would seem that the talks are taking place but not much is happening. No one's agreeing on anything obviously by what we saw the last couple days. All right. Saudi Arabia is, is basically saying repeatedly calling as Pakistan for de escalation. Right. That's what they want because they want to get what some of their back online in the Strait of Hormuz.
Jordy Buddy
They want to make some money, dude.
David Rutherford
They want to make some money, right? Yeah, that's what's they taking place. So they have a major concern over the recent Hormuz violations and, and potential oil market shocks. Right. Because that's because they run opec and so they're the ones who are going to get hammered on this. Now Turkey, they're actively working in the extended ceasefire or facilitated. President Aragon states that Ankara is conveying suggestions to ease tension and is quote, hopefully of the progress. Anybody says hopeful. They're sitting behind the counter like this. These dumb asses are never gonna end this thing, man. Let's just get out of the way and let's bomb the out of each other. Let them just go to town. They'll weaken each other and then we can come in and become a more powerful role in the region and maybe actually bring back that Ottoman Capability, you know what I'm saying? That's what that dude does, right? For sure.
Jordy Buddy
Oh my gosh.
David Rutherford
And then the last one I think the most important one to pay attention to obviously is China and their influence. Right, what do you got? They're calling for an urgent comprehensive ceasefire and end quote, immediate stop. Foreign Minister Wang Yi and UN Ambassador have highlighted straight of remove stability as a priority. Again, we don't give a if you bomb the hell out of each other. Just let's open up these to get our oil because we need some of this oil.
Jordy Buddy
Well, they sound like Saudi Arabia.
David Rutherford
100%.
Jordy Buddy
I just open it up.
David Rutherford
Well think about it like, you know, we don't have to worry about oil, right? Yeah, pretty much Israel, because we can just ship oil directly to Israel, right? And we're selling a ton to Europe and we're selling probably a ton to South America and so we're, we're pretty good. So.
Jordy Buddy
But China's not, China's not.
David Rutherford
We don't know directly how much they're impacted so far because it's very difficult to always tell their numbers. But it's definitely creating a pinch on them for sure. And then the last group is you've got the Qatar states that like QA or uae Qatar and others broadly welcome the ceasefire as in quote, an initial step toward de escalation. I love all the, the political language, right? Everybody's like I just want one recording behind closed doors of these people losing their freaking minds.
Jordy Buddy
They're like stop freaking bombing us, please. Like that's what we care about out.
David Rutherford
Yeah, so anyways, we're in the same situation we were last week. We'll see what's going on. Probably escalation. I would imagine this weekend it's going to escalate even more next week my prediction is it's gonna, the bombing campaigns are gonna resume again and, and, but that's just me, that's just my feeling. That's what I think's gonna going on. You're gonna start because what you did have yesterday is you did have Iran launch attacks at U S. Ships, right? Because what happens if you really hit a U. S ship, not an aircraft crater because you're going to have all hell breakdown on you. But if you hit one of the destroyers, you kill some Americans, right? Or sink an American ship, what do you think happens to political pressure at home in America, right? And that's also what you got to think. The Iranians can last this out route, right? They can go into these. Because if you don't think that Russia is still translating supplies, transmitting supplies in through the Caspian indoor into northern Iran right near Tehran and then the rat line the sold silk route from China through Afghanistan into Iraq. You don't think that or into I forget what the guard knocker does harat in western Iran, Afghanistan that's taking place so they can be funded and fueled and all that plus planes from both places are landowning and delivering stuff and so they can outlast us. Right. And so what you happen is you have political you lose Trump is Luke if this thing escalates the political midterms are going to be an absolute annihilator. Now what they just did with the whole fiasco of the Dems and the re the districting re thing and the Supreme Court shutting it down now you saw Louisiana, Tennessee just got rid of Memphis. Yeah. Georgia's thinking about doing so there's a there they might gain seven to something what Seth said. I I don't I forget what 7 to 12 new congressional seats for the redistricting that's going to take place because remember all these states were redistrict in the past because of civil rights potential violations and not having distinct representation with minorities. That's what they were there before. So that's being flipped around. So this is potentially going to bite them. But if this escalates to the point where it could quickly I think and the economic we see six seven dollar gas in these other states, Florida, Texas, wherever energy producing state big problem politically. All right.
Jordy Buddy
So times on Iran's side.
David Rutherford
Oh 100% it is right.
Jordy Buddy
That's a problem because Trump's probably trying to like wrap this thing. But if time's on our inside then they've got leverage the midterm leverage over him then 100%.
David Rutherford
And also right we, we haven't solved the twenty thousand dollar drone problem yet versus the four billion dollar missile systems. Right. And we've depleted so we're ceasefire conveniently stops. We produce another 500 missiles that we can then produce next Seafire stops a month, produce more missile systems. Cease fire missiles. Cease fire missiles. Right. And so this could, this could keep going on and on and on and on and on. Now don't all for always for also forget is Israel is under profound stress as well too. There's a lot of stories coming out of Israeli newspapers that their military is seriously in jeopardy right now. Not jeopardy of folding but the fatigue on their soldiers and their civilian population is substantial. And so fighting a long time been fighting a long time. And I can tell you from somebody who was engaged for 11 or not. What was it I was 001 to 2011, right? 10 years at a G WAT. That's a long time for any one person, I can tell you. Especially when you're actively in kinetic warfare like they are are.
Jordy Buddy
I tell you what my last funny thing is the best website right now in the Internet. I don't know who made this or what it is or whatever, but it's just is the straight of hormoves open.com and you go there and I don't know if you can see this on screen. It just says no. It's just a white screen that says no.
David Rutherford
That's genius man. I love it.
Jordy Buddy
I'll check that again in a week, see where we're at. But as of right now, no.
David Rutherford
All right, all right. So now we need to go what now we need. There needs to be the next website that needs to say straight of Hormuz shorting.
Jordy Buddy
Yes.

all right now when you come up. All right Joy, bring that that little thing up right there for me. All right. When you look at at this graph that was put out by the Kobe Kobe AC letter which I love them follow them on X are great, right? You had this really unique thing happen. At 3:40am A crude oil short worth $920 million was taken, right? And then there was another one. And then at 4:50am Axios reports that a deal to end the Iran war is imminent. Right?
HomeServe Sponsor
Boom.
David Rutherford
Crude drops down to 7am Right. The short profit on that was was $125 million. What the is going on with insider trading? If you don't think that these are someone inside the Trump world, you're stoned or you're just delusional. This is what's happening. All right. So guess what? Just like I told you before when it comes to the political donations from Super PACs on both parties in the Union party, whatever you want to talk because what's interesting is the people who are supporting Mass or going against Massey and supporting Gallery and they also do big money to Democrats as well too. It doesn't matter whoever in power is what wealthy people want to control. You're not listening. There is no they them us first them right? First left Republican versus Democrat. The people in Epstein class, they don't give a shit, man. They just want to make money and have power. That's the reality. That's what we learn in the Epstein files. That's what we learned and all the things that were coming out since COVID This is the reality of your life now, if you're struggling emotionally to do that, we're going to do a show on that one here soon, too. But you think it is, right? So all this stuff going on, right? Oh, we're gonna have a ceasefire. We're gonna produce more missiles and reposition people and. And try and figure out how to work the deal to make money off the straight. And then we're gonna say, all right, it's eminent. Right? Right. Someone's gonna lay a short right before they're gonna get more rich. And then the next day, someone's gonna bomb somebody or do something, and then we're right back in war for. And then we're going to get to us, we're going to expend all those missiles. This is the cycle. You have to understand who's getting rich. This is the way it is, man. It's just how it works. So get over yourself if you're appalled by it. And. And for all you boomers who are like, I don't believe that's true, just take a month off of Fox, a month off cbs, a month off, and go over to X and have your grandson or granddaughter teach you how to scroll and look all the time, and you will wake up like the rest of us have. All right, all right, my last one. The ultimate story of the week. Jordy, hands down, no joke, half all the way through, we had a profound, profound UFO document relief. Throw old Mr. Ducey up there for us, if you could, please.
Jordy Buddy
Yes, Let me get him up here. One second. He's powered, people.
David Rutherford
Okay, all right, we're gonna run like, the first couple seconds of this because I just want you to see his face as he holds the. The jump drive, right? Watch his little face when he talks about the jump drive. And in the back of your mind, I want you to remember the Epstein file, guys. All right? Go.
House Official
House official left this hard drive on my desk overnight. You can see on it, it says, AARO files, copy 2 of 3. That is the All Domain Main Resolution Office. Copy 2 of 3. This is the first big batch of UFO disclosure ordered by President Trump. Some of the clips and videos on there have popped up different places before. Some of them have not. And we have.
David Rutherford
All right, shut him down. Shut him down now. Don't mind you. Some of this has been released already. Like, holy psyop. It's not even my hands. They're not even. They're not even Trying anymore, dude. That's what's so awesome about it. It. So that's what we got in the midst of illegal short sells, right? Insider Trading, Super PAC donating Republicans, voting against, voting for spying on U.S. citizens, including themselves. It's, it's. This is where we're living, man. And I just, you know, I. It is what it is, everybody. And I hope you're not getting depressed because I hear a lot of people, I heard it at this, this talk the other night. People were just shaking their head in disbelief. And the final question I usually get in all of this is, how do you not become depressed? How do you not like, like, how do you not live in this dark, sinister hole? And I'm telling you, listen to me right now, just seriously lean in, put your little. Turn up your volume, right? Expand my little screen so it's sideways or on your big screen TV on YouTube. Put it bigger. And let me, let me tell you, this is the way it's always been and this is the way it's always going to be. And once you can start managing that, you can start being able to divide it up psychologically. And that's what you have to do. You've got to be able to compartmentalize this because guess what? You know, if you've watched any of the shows about our election systems, that enough should let you know, like, guess what? That ain't getting fixed. And the fact that the save act hasn't been passed by thune is proof they're not going to fix it because they want to cheat on both sides. This is a uni party against us, period. And the only thing that, that flips this is what you thought it. I didn't, I didn't make you think it. Right? And, and what we're gonna do is I've been just pondering this one story in my head for a while because everybody that I'm following or paying attention, all my g wat buddies, they're all saying it's inevitable we're gonna have to come to civil disobedience, right? And then that'll probably escalate to civil, you know, connection disobedience. And now we've got some type of violent resistance or revolution or civil war, whatever you want to talk about, you know, inevitably. Is that going to happen, you know, in the next hundred years, ten years, five years, I don't know. And, and what we're going to do is we're going to, we're going to talk about the times that that's happened in the Past and then we're going to talk about whether or not people, the United States people can actually start a militia in preparation for if this becomes a reality. So that's gonna be a doozy. And that one's coming up. Jordy. I can't wait for that one.
Jordy Buddy
I have a question for you to send it to. Wrap this up. This is what I've. In the back of my mind I've been thinking about this as the show's going on with the, the FISA stuff. Seems like you could just 7 degrees away from Kevin Bacon your way to anybody and just wrap them up in some kind of investigation investigation. With all of the save ACT stuff, with the short sellings, all this stuff. I'm like, are we just in the era of the law of the jungle?
David Rutherford
It's coming. Not yet. Law of the jungle is like there's no principles. No, there's not. I remember the, the people that are that, that move up into a place of power and that power is relative to any industry, whatever you are. So the higher you get, get the
Jordy Buddy
more
David Rutherford
muted you become from the people who are beneath you, right? So you have, if you're the CEO of a family restaurant, you're, you're going to hear your cook bitching to you and probably make a change about conditions or food or whatever. But if you're the CEO of an organization that has 70,000 people, 50,000, 20,000, even a thousand people, the guy who's down here in the trenches, that gets filtered, filtered, filtered, filtered, filtered. Right? Now, all of a sudden you put people who are in control of nuclear weapons or financial institutions that have, are worth trillions of dollars, they don't give a what's happening down here because the defining trait is to maintain power and, and build wealth. That's how it functions. That's it. That's how it's always functioned. And the only way that that gets torn down, and it never gets truly torn down because when the people rise up against it, these people just move to another town or another country or another state, or they just change their last names or they move their money and they have a system that protects that transfer of wealth and power. Right? That's what it is. Right? That's how this works. So what matters? It matters. Your local races, all right, those are huge. Who's running your town, who's approving permitting, who's approving outside how you invest your pension funds? That's what makes a difference, right? When you have a good city council, good mayor, good whatever that makes A difference. And then next, obviously would be county stuff and then next would be your state representative, right? Who then they start getting influenced by lobbyists and the whole thing. And that's just the nature of how this whole system is set up. Does it suck? Yeah. Is it the best in the world? Yeah, I'd say it's out there. Now some people are actually arguing that dictators or imperial rule is the way to go. Because if you have a banana, what a benevolent dictator.
Jordy Buddy
Yeah, right.
David Rutherford
Who takes care of the people who keep him in power. Now that's the ideal. But again, right, the emperor has no clothes and ultimately absolute power corrupts absolutely. There's a million quotes we can go down that prove this historically. So it is what it is now. The disruptor that might change the game on all this is AI. But guess what? If you don't think AI is going to be used more intensely with the FISA 702, more with Patriot Act 2.0, 3.0, 10.0, whatever. More with Plantier or all these other whatever you're full of, you literally are being tracked 24 7. All your data is being sold. They understand what you buy, they understand what you look at, they understand who you call, they understand all this, all that information is available and being captured. So if you want to go back to something like that, get rid of this, get rid of your computer, right? Own a small business that you don't need to market or promote or you don't care about social media, you don't need validation. And just like reinforce your natural life that you can control, right? Put more effort into your kids, spend four hours online instead of 12 hours and spend the rest dealing with your kids or making your community better, coaching Little League because God knows we have shitty coaches out there, you know, or whatever it is. And a lot of the mental health stuff is taken because the algorithms are controlling our kids, the corruption's controlling adults. But you have to just look back at yourself, man, and say, how am I going to defeat this? How am I not going to allow that negative output or input from these outside people that are hell bent on getting theirs? It's called the IGM mentality. I got mine. That's never going away. It's built into the human condition. Regardless of whether you think there's some utopic mainframe, even, even, you know, all models, even if like all philosophical models, all sec. Scientific models, you know, historical metaphors, theological models, even if you were to give people the ultimate environment, right, let's say you develop a Community somewhere and you say all right, we're only here are the criteria of people that can come into this community. We're going to be self sufficient, we're going to govern ourselves, we're going to, we're going to support ourselves, we're going to do all this stuff. Stuff. The, the rough estimates is that somewhere between 12 days and 12 months that society will begin to collapse. So saying all that to say this man, get on board the crazy train, right? Start looking at this stuff with some, a positive attitude or some fun, right? Start trolling your the politicians you can't stand online, right? Write letters, call, post stuff. Make a website that says Iran straight of Hormuz open no right. Use, use AI to build your own tracker. Your use AI to follow the top congressional people who are doing insider trading and bet what they're betting on right there. You are only a slave to all of this, right? Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. If you let yourself be a damn slave. Now don't get me wrong man, I fall into this trap myself all the time. It is what it is. I mean I get wrapped up, I think about my kids future, I think about it's going to be hard for them. I think about oh my God percentage of GDP and our debt ratios just as like our debt eclipse that and how are we going to outgrow. I freak out about it all the time but guess what? Then I talk to Jordy, he resets me, right? In preparation for the show, I, I find something funny online like some, some I, I, I built some stupid thing on social media where I had a bear. I did this quote about the 10 years. Yeah and I had a bear. You know, say don't worry, well the aliens are coming, you know and I had fun with it, right? Because here's the deal. If, if you let that negative insurgency get inside your head and with you on a regular basis, you're gonna lose, you're gonna be knocked down. It's just the way we're built. So don't be afraid. Put yourself on anvil of life, have some fun, enjoy your family, love your friends and let's enjoy the crazy train ride while we can. Oh yeah. Love you guys. Thanks for liking, following, sharing all that stuff. You know, we just, we love you so much. I appreciate you guys so much and who. Yeah, God bless.

Host: David Rutherford (with co-host Jordy Buddy)
In this episode, David Rutherford, a former Navy SEAL, delivers an unfiltered, rapid-fire breakdown of the week’s major political headlines—spanning government surveillance, billionaire-fueled political primaries, Middle East ceasefires (and their economic ripples), and the jaw-dropping release of UFO files.
