Bethany Frankel from Just Be with Bethany Frankel. Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk. It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls. That is why they eat just food for dogs. It's real 100% human grade food with ingredients I actually recognize. Not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy. And once I switched, the difference was obvious. Better digestion, better skin, more energy. Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner. Here's the thing. You care about quality. You make an intentional choice to be healthy. So why are you gambling with your dog's health? So let's think about our furry babies. Go to justfoodfordogs.com right now and get 50% off your first box. No code. Just try it.

David Rutherford
Today on the David Rutherford show, an Iran update. AI becomes sentient, the COVID civil trial taking place over in Holland, the Save Act, a UFO general still missing, and Penn State's dominance once again in Big Ten wrestling. Hooyah. All right, welcome back everybody to the David Rutherford Show. It's been a pretty good, pretty big week so far. I hope you've all enjoyed what we've been doing. I really enjoyed the interview with Greg Dozel who's running for lieutenant governor and the election fraud that he's exposing in Georgia, which I believe is a, a key component of the midterms and then the greater 2028 presidential election. But today we really want to just dive into some of the top stories of the week and what's been going on. But before we do, I just want to give another huge shout out to a new great sponsor of and again, these people are the ones that make this possible so that you can hear me wax on, on all these different topics. And, and that's revival nutrition. It's a, a new brand in the liposomal supplement delivery industry. If you're not sure what liposomal delivery is, it means that your body absorbs a lot more than your pill or powder form. And it's just, it tastes better, it's better price, and it really is amazing. And the one I really want to just talk about is, is Revival Sprout. And this is the kids line within Revival Nutrition. And if your kids hate taking supplements in any way, shape or form, and in particular gummies, because gumless gummies have a horrible bioavailability, this is a supplement that tastes good. It's called Sunny Burst. You can whip it into their orange juice or in a smoothie or whatever you want and they can get their, their daily vitamin C as we come into the spring months. So go over to rev nutrition.com forward/rut r u t check out what's available there. And also if you want a little discount, punch in. Use David for your promo code. All right, the Iran update. So Iran obviously is still going on. One of the key things that is beginning to emerge in terms of a leadership perspective is that we're finding out that the Ayatollah sun was hit in the initial strike and has suffered from a major leg wound, apparently was in a coma, according to some reports. But the key that I think about this is that if we hope to have some type of off ramp, we really need to start drilling in on who is going to take over in the country of Iran from a religious perspective because they are dominated by the Ayatollahs and the Shiite Muslim perspective. And then also to look for potentially somebody else to rise up in the rakes who might be willing to explore some dialogue with the Gulf states who are actively seeking some of those back channel possibilities. All right, the other aspect is there were new strikes in the Straits of Hormuz on a couple different tankers. Jordy, why don't you pull up one of those strikes that came out and obviously this is the big play that's going on. I think if your Iran and your tactical initiatives are to really kind of hurt, hurt America and American sentiment for the war, then what you do is you, you go after what, the ability for oil to come out of Iran through the Straits of Hormuz and all the other Gulf states and really keep that oil trade where it needs to be. Now we have seen some interesting aspects in terms of our strategic oil reserves in the US to produce 172 million more barrels. And then the IEA, the International Energy Agency deliver 400 million new barrels of oil into the system. And that's probably why we're suing. Volatility, you know, kind of measure out a little bit. But as of just right now when we're delivering the Jordy, what's, what's the market saying right now is oil,

Spot

David Rutherford
oil price 93.87 cents a barrel. All right, well and so when you get that flood of reserves, strategic reserves coming out, that's going to keep that price in a relatively tolerable level for the markets. But again, how many times can people deliver out of these strategic reserves? We have seen other countries in the Gulf coast state say hey, we're going to reduce output as long as we're getting striked and as long as those Straits of Hormuz are, are, are in a volatile position. So that's all still going on. It's yet to be deceived on, on what taken place. You know I thought a really interesting one that popped up and, and Jordy, maybe you could play the quick video of Larry Fink from Blackrock suggesting essentially that he does not believe that the war in Iran will affect long term oil prices. So let's, let's take a listen to Larry saying that basically the global oil market has taken a spike. Yes, there is a sense from the President that that's going to be short lived. How do you look at it from your seat? Well, it's great to be here. Obviously it creates uncertainty and uncertainty creates fear. But that being said, the $14.5 trillion of money we manage, most of it is very long dated. I don't pay much attention to the short term volatility but I focus more on these longer term trends. Do I believe the war is going to be lasting a long time? Do I believe oil is going to be reverting back to where it was, maybe even lower? I mean if the outcome of the war is a neutralized Iran and they are allowed to be, you know, selling products into the market again, oil products into the market again. I mean there's probably a great probability that oil is going to be below 50, but once again that's a short term move and all that. But I do believe the markets find a way to balance out. Well, you know, obviously he sits at the top of the largest asset management firm in the world. They also have one of the biggest capital management firms in the world with majority shareholder stakes and, and many of the S P500 and other other major publicly traded companies out there. So you know when he talks, people listen. You know, I it's yet to be seen the long term impacts of what's going on, but we're certainly going to pay attention. All right.

Now what are the other side little notes relative to AI's influence in all this that are going on? Was we just heard Deputy Defense Secretary Emil Michael come out and you can play that here in a second Jordy. But he basically said Claude Anthropics. Claude is essentially sentient and he says this by describing you can listen here that you know it's displaying some anxiety, it's adapting kind of its actions. And so for this guy to come out and say, hey, the AI we're using in the defense industry is now sentient.
- [15:48]

The other really subtle point that I think we're going to hear a lot about, AI in the coming year, insider threats, model poisoning. Remember, their model has a soul, has a constitution. That's not the U.S. constitution. The other day their model was anxious and they believe it has a 20% chance right now of being sentient and have its own ability to make decisions. Does the Department of War want something like that in their supply chain so that it could hallucinate, it could corrupt models that are used by defense contractors who are building weapons systems or airplanes and so on. So the truth of it is we can't have a company that has a different policy preference that is baked into the model through its constitution, its soul, its policy preferences pollute the supply chain. So our war fighters are getting ineffective weapons, ineffective body armor, ineffective protection. And that's really where the supply chain risk designation came from.
- [16:50]
David Rutherford
I don't know about you, but that's, that's dramatically approaching, you know, that, that Terminator level fears that I think are underneath all of us out there right now. You feeling a little bit of that on that, on those statements, Jordy? Yeah, I mean, every one's talking about, you know, artificial general intelligence, AGI. When are we going to hit AGI where the robots are officially sentient consc have, you know, their own unique thoughts. It's yet to be seen. The guy says that it's shown cognition. I tend to think that it might be mimicking things that look like cognition, but I don't know if I'd call it sentience. But hey, what do I know? I don't work at Claude, so could be. Well, well, the other one that, that tied along to this statement that I thought was interesting was OpenAI. Sam Altman was recently heard basically saying that AI is be like a utility in your house. So, you know, and you're going to be able to purchase into certain levels of usage, right, to pay for the offset probably on the power plants that they're going to be forced to pay into the state, local and federal grids out there as well too. We have this fundamental belief in abundance of intelligence and that one of the

most important things in the future is
- [18:17]
David Rutherford
that we make intelligence, to borrow an old phrase from the energy industry that didn't quite work.

David Rutherford
to geniuses, as many as they need in any area that they need. So what I find fascinating is I just think of myself, what am I going to need some NEST implant in my brain that measures how much AI I'm using? Or is it going to be, is there going to be like a meter that sticks on the back of my phone and says you have used 420 BTU credits from your AI exposure? Right. And then which AI firms is it going to be capitalistically competitive? Is, you know, will. They'll have like a buy one, get two free from Grok or from Gemini, right, where you're, you're. And then it's all tokenized to drive all the usage that you're going to have to incorporate into your daily routines. With this AI usage, God forbid, once we have the robots in our house every day, right, you know, Optimus, right, your Optimus meter reader, you know, and then the, the, the, the green crazies, the, the climate change nut jobs are going to be in and then they're going to, they're going to say, all right, you've maximized your AI energy output system shutting down and your robot in the middle of doing your laundry or doing your lawn just shuts down because you're out of AI credits. I, I don't even know how to wrap my mind around all this, but it certainly is unsettling to say the least. Jordy, what do you think? Well, the thing is that the AI robots are going to be trying to reduce carbon, your car, the carbon footprint. And then they're going to go, wait a minute, do their analyzing. David Rutherford's made of carbon. We need to reduce him. And then that's when the Terminator future comes and it's all over. But I actually, I actually think AI might be a public utility some point. There's no doubt. I mean, you're gonna have to federalize it in particular if it becomes sentient because the, the dangers of AI running amok in financial industries and all these vulnerable places that if AI gets in there and starts taking over, then, then we got some real problems. All right, the next one, and this was the one that popped up a few days ago for me, and if you're not familiar, there is a Dutch court case that was originally filed in 2023 by seven Dutch citizens who allege that they suffered serious injuries or death. One plaintiff has since passed away from COVID 19 vaccines. And the defendants include Microsoft co founder Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Borla and former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Root, who's now the Secretary General of NATO and some other Dutch officials. And what this case is saying is that these people knowingly exposed the population to this bioweapon and as a result there's been major, major in infliction of of major physiological health problems onto these. Seven people, including one died. Now this has been trudging through the courts and what I found fascinating, the one that really hit me was that basically there's the most recent hearing in an Amsterdam court of appeals, basically was going to make the determination on whether or not they were going to allow pre trial depositions to take place which also includes the infusion of of facts or components of the case that they be believe relative to really pushing this thing and what they can introduce into the main court case. Right. And so they want to have preliminary hearing that allows evidence to be entered prior to the main case. Because one of the things that typically happens in, in big cases like this is that the somehow the court magically decides that oh, we're not going to allow that evidence in and that evidence in. And, and they basically make it impossible for all the real evidence that could compel the court that can induce some major civil consequences as a result of this case. So you know, for all those people are saying, you know, these people have gotten away with the greatest travesty in the history, this case is positive. Because you know, I think if we can get one victory out there then that could, that could generate a whole sequence of other countries around or people in other countries following these civil cases to where maybe eventually we can get to a criminal case. All right, next, support for the show

David Rutherford
The other huge thing going on right now is the SAVE act and that's the big one that's really Republicans are are are pressing. If you're not familiar, it's the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility act, often referred to as the SAVE act. And it's this is was put forth to 2020 25, 26 iterations of Congress and it's HR 22 and HR 7296 aimed at amending the the National Voter Registration act of 1990 through 93 doing pick stricter requirements for voter registration. Now what that includes is proof of citizenship, right? Individuals must provide documentary evidence of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. passport, birth certificate accompanied by photo ID, naturalization certificate or certain military tribal IDs when registering when registering or updating voter registration. So it's not like when you show up you got to bring your birth certificate or you got to bring your Social Security now card, which by the way every single person on in the United States who is a US Citizen has a Social Security card, right? So it's not like this isn't something that exists. The second part is Voter ID for voting and voters must present a valid government issued photo ID when casting ballots, making it one of the strictest national voter IDs. Now again and the argument against this is many times just racist in nature that minorities or whomever can't figure out how to get an ID which is just quantifiably proven to be an absolute ridiculous article argument for this. All right, Voter roll maintenance and purges and that states must remove non citizens from voter rolls and run databases through the Department of Homeland Security's systemic alien verific entitlement system, the SAVE system to verify citizenship. It also mandates error prone purges of voter lists and imposes criminal penalties. This is the key to this one. It imposes criminal penalties on election officials for not for registering non citizen. That's the key. There's got to be a criminal penalty for this thing to really have any, any teeth in it. All right. And then immediate implementation and enforcement. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment with no phase in period. Dedicated funded for states. And this is critical because why we're in a midterm election where a. The possible control of the House and the Senate is. Is up for grabs. And then there's the last one. The alternative processes. State must establish alternative for those without immediate access to documents. But critics note this should still include exclude millions of estimated of 21 to 146 million lack readiness access to patch ports and, and birth certificates. See that number is. Seems ridiculous to me. I mean, I mean from 21 to 146 million people don't have access to a birth certificate or a Social Security card or I mean I, I get the, the passport maybe because there's fees involved with that. But the other ones, all you got to do is email the, the, the Social Security administration and request a new Social Security card and that it's like three or four weeks. My daughter was born last year and it wasn't that hard to get a Social Security card. I mean I just, I, I just adopted. You know John has two kids and as mine and I think we got the cards within like three weeks of, of the finalization of the judgment. It's, it's absurd. It's all bull. All right. Now the problem obviously are the Democrats and guess what? More importantly, certain House Republicans have basically come up and, and I'm not doing this. Most notably Lisa Mikowski from Alaska saying this is going to disenfranchise a vast majority of Alaskan voters. And yeah, I mean she said it just the other day someone caught her, some reporter from Lindell TV caught her in the hallway and she said vast. Yeah, we'd have faith in your fellow Alaskan citizens. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. I think there's other people that are holding out. Corn's holding out. Because I think the underlying politics there is that he wants a Trump endorsement against Ken Paxton, who's surging in the polls. I think they're in a runoff or something like that based on the, the primary that just took place, you know, and, and, you know, so it's a big deal. Now the House did pass this re a rebranded version of it and now it just received by the Senate, Senate and it faces a 60 vote filibuster threshold, which Republicans lack the numbers. Right. And this is why John Thune is out on the House floor or the Senate floor advocating. So, Jordy, would you play a little bit of John Thune's comments here? So, Mr. President, what is the Save America Act? It is a package of common sense policies. Policies, the kind of common sense policies that should get an automatic yes vote from literally every member of this body. At the core of the Save America act is the requirement that individuals provide proof of citizenship to register to vote and then show an ID when they go to the polls. In other words, it would require Americans to demonstrate that they're eligible to vote and that they are who they say they are when they go to do so. So not to keep using the word common sense, but it's pretty common sense, right? We require photo ID for a whole lot of things in this country for obvious reasons. Getting on a plane, show your official government issued photo id, go to the doctor, same thing. Provide your government issued photo ID plus your insurance code card, get hired for a new job, provide your Government issued photo ID. When you start, Mr. President, public libraries ask for a photo ID in New York City, you have to provide some type of photo ID to get a library card. Baltimore, Maryland, same thing. Washington, D.C. again, photo ID. Mr. President, I'll stop with the list of libraries, but I think we can all agree that if you have to show photo ID and prove where you live to get a library card, it's not too much to ask voters to show ID to vote in federal elections. It takes about 10 seconds and protects the security of our elections. All right, so obviously he realized, you know, this is a big deal. Again, there are people in there. One of the people we thought from the Democratic side we might get was Fetterman, who said he is not going to vote for the SAVE act just came out today, you know, so, you know, most Republicans are calling this common sense. It's no joke. And after what we've learned, I mean, and what you've heard on this show, we've been covering massive amounts of voter fraud and all these different states, you know, this is common sense. And will help secure elections and certainly reduce cheating, which is if you don't have a voter id, there's only reason that to continue the mass voter, voter in, mail in, voter scam that's out here with all these NGOs, and then, you know, being able to prove you're a US Citizen is massive in terms of voter registration. And how do you do that? We've already known that during the Biden administration. What social people that received Social Security cards that were non citizen went from low 200 thousands to 2 million in the final year. So that's roughly 3 million people who have Social Security cards that are non U.S. citizens.

And so, you know, how do we confirm who's voting in our elections? And that's what I believe the Democrats want to protect. And that's where they're point. Did you see. Sorry, I didn't. But did you see Chuck Schumer basically say this out loud where he said, you're gonna. Well, he said, you're gonna remove billions from the voter rolls. Yeah, like, here's. Here's a. The clip of it really quick. Yeah, I could pull it up. Awesome. Yeah, please. It's just. It's just amazing when they actually just say it. It's about voter registration. It makes it. It allows ICE to kick tens of billions of people off the rolls. Off the rolls. And they don't tell them until election day. And you show up and you say, you're not registered anymore. You're not registered here, you're not on the rolls. And they say, I didn't know that. This is a bill that destroys the country. And it is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them, purging them, not letting people know and taking the ride. Fights in a algorithm put together by ice, put together by Doge and Musk. It's an outrage. And that's why so many people don't want to pass. Yeah, I mean, that, that, that's pretty staggering to me. You know, I. I don't understand how ICE kicks people off voter rolls. Billions of people, too. He said yes. Yeah. Of course, he's been misspeaking a lot lately. He's getting old. But. But the reality of it, you know, they're also calling it Jim Crow 2.0. Oh, classic. You know, a poison pill that silences voices, really, and revives discriminatory practices. And the ACLU and the League of Women Voters, there was one argument that they were presenting that women who change their names after Divorce will be impacted on this. And, and again, it's just. Yeah, my wife had a terrible time trying to get a driver's license after we got married. Yes. Yeah, yeah, ye was grueling, grueling process again. It's just more of the same old shenanigans. And I, and I think anybody who's, who's got any common sense realizes that if you impact the Democratic Party, which is a loose and I use that term generously, you know, grouping of these coalition of radicalized groups, you know, if you impact, impact illegal aliens and you impact that significantly and you tighten up on that, there's a high probability that they're not going to be able to win elections anymore. So thus the open borders for the last four years. So, yeah, anyways, we'll keep an idea, a review on that. All right, that's the SAVE act and then one of the interesting ones that hit me. And we're going to get a little conspiratorial here. So stand by Jordan. Let's go. All right, so this, we're in the 13th day of this guy being missing and his name is William Neil McCaslin and he's a former general from the United States Air Force and UFO expert. Right. That's the kicker to this thing. He has been missing for 13 days. Just up and disappeared. Right. And for me, that's a little odd. I'm, I'm, you know, obviously we've had all the unique bizarre people talking aliens when the Iran war kicked off as some distracting whatever. And then right around the same time this UFO general, this, you know, Brill, you know, this guy. And to make general it means you're not a quack. Supposedly or allegedly. But, but this guy just up and disappears and burnt out of burn. What is it? Bernelio County. And, and what the investigator said is they've contacted more than 600 OHM homeowners in the neighborhood near his home to, to request their security cam footage to see where he left, when he left, was he in a vehicle direction to travel. All those things that are relevant in this investigation. But I just found it fascinating in the moment where it seems to be we're on the precipice of some cataclysmic UFO disclosure. Like a top general in the program goes missing for 13 days. So again, we'll pay, we'll pay close attention to that. All right. And then the last story, which is a story I just want to finish off on a, on a great note, man, is, you know, to praise my alma mater which is Penn State. You know, I believe that their wrestling program is the single greatest sports program in the history of all sports. They just won their. I think it was their 2, 3, 3. Yeah. Fourth consecutive Big Ten Wrestling Championship. But they, they dating back, they won 20, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 19, 23, 24, 25 and 26. One of the most elite teams in history. And these are the guys at 125, Luke Ladal, 149, Shane Van Ness, 157, PJ Duke, 165, Michael Messenbrink, 74, Levi Hayes, 184, Rocco Welsh, and 197, Josh Barr. So they are basically dominating the sport in a way no other sport has been dominated. You could argue back in the late 60s and 70s, John Wooden's UCLA basketball team with, with Kareem Abdul Jabbar and. And some other greats out of there, but this other, you know, they've won 13 NCAA team championships with coming under Kale Sorensen or Sanderson. And Cale is considered to be the greatest, obviously greatest wrestling coach, one of the greatest wrestlers himself, never losing while he competed, and then becoming the greatest wrestling coach we've ever seen. And so, you know, as we are consumed with all the madness of. Of all these other things, I always go back to the beauty of sport being the thing that can lift us up. It can pull us away from AI taking over the world, a collapse in economy, Covid the next pandemic or whatever it might be. And we can really just look at these young people in these beautiful programs performing at the highest level in histories and really just be proud. Proud of. Of what sport is and, and the immense work and effort that goes in for these young athletes, as well as just the wonderful sense of pride instilled with us. And as we get ready to go into March Madness, all these great basketball teams will see emerge and maybe we'll see some Cinderella story pop out. But I just wanted again, give props to Penn State wrestling. And what you're doing is as a really inspirational thing for the country and for people.
