Today the New York City Mayor's race, the auto pen fiasco, Iran, Israel and Colin Trump your daddy. This is the week in Review on the David Rutherford Show. Welcome everybody. Your host David Rutherford on the David Rutherford show. Man, we can't thank you enough. And I just. I'm here with Jordy, and first, before we even get into this nutty week again, I just think we're living in the consummate tsunami of craziness right now. Jordy, are you. Are you, you. Are you feeling the same way? Dude, the president's cursing on tv. We got music videos saying, daddy's home. I don't know what's happening, dude. Dude, I was. I got. I got contacted. They wanted me to do a hit on Sean Hannity's radio show, and I, like, had this whole piece out that I was like, you know, I woke up in the morning, I was stoked there was peace in the Middle east, and. And now all of a sudden, I woke up with Trump dropping f bombs about. About how they're both jacked up for breaking the truth and all this. And I was just like, thankfully, I, I, I, I, I didn't get the opportunity. But, yeah, it's. It's. It's just another continuation of. Of a really wild time that we're living in. I. You know, and again, I think one of the great challenges is that we all feel kind of this uneasiness. And I think, you know, one of the things that Jordi and I try and do with all ya is, is try and just give some clarity to it with some common sense, and to try and be that flashbang of truth for you on certain things. And, you know, it's. It's. It's not always easy, though, is it, Jordy? Dude, I thought it was easy one week, and then it just always gets harder, so we'll see. I'm like, it can't get crazier than that. And then I hear daddy's home, and I'm like, okay. All right, Clown world. Awesome. All right. Before we do that, though, I just. I. Jordy and I really want to thank iheartmedia. We want to thank Buck and Clay, because this week we had a milestone for our new show, and we crossed over a million downloads in three months, and, man, I'll tell you what, what a great feeling. And for me specifically, we did it with the Pat Kraft, the athletic director for Penn State, which is a wonderful guy, really doing amazing things there, but, Jordy, dude, how's it feel, buddy? Dude, million views in three months is pretty wild. I just appreciate everybody listening and give me a million view, you know, a million views on the show, babies being born any second, so good week. I. I'd say you're on top of the world, man. Yeah, brother, I tell you what. There isn't anybody I'd rather be doing with this with Jordy, so. Than so much. Yeah, appreciate it. All right, enough of that. Okay, so let's dig into this. So the first one, obviously, and I have pretty. Pretty deep connections to New York City. My brother and his partner live up there. My cousin lives up there with his partner. My best friend, Mark Palermo lives up there. You know, I. I've been going to New York for a long, long time, long period. I love the city. I think it's one of most unique cities on the planet. It is really the hub of all things that are really quite cool about America and America's history. But, man, there is a propensity to want to really test the boundaries of Democratic socialism. This week, there was a gentleman by the name of Zoharan Mamdani who won the Democratic primary against many candidates. The most notable, the former Mayor Cuomo or Governor. Sorry. During the COVID crisis. And. And, you know, he. He won. He won that thing. And would you do me a favor? And there's two videos I want to play to just get everybody in the right mindset for this, and. All right, so go ahead and play the one with his interview with Jen Psaki, if you could. Jordy. Yes. Here we go. You are running on issues that are very relevant to people in New York City. The cost of housing, free busing. Some have projected that this is the type of platform that would work in other parts of the country. I mean, you're a proud Democratic socialist. Do you think that is a platform that would work for other candidates running in other parts of the country? Absolutely. I think ultimately this is a campaign about inequality, and you don't have to live in the most expensive city in the country to have experienced that inequality because. Because it's a national issue. And what Americans coast to coast are looking for are people who will fight for them. Not just believe in the things that resonate with their lives, but actually fight and deliver on those very things. And part of how we got to this point was through the endorsements of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders, who've been leading this fight against oligarchy across the country. And I think that in focusing on working people and their struggles, we also return back to what makes so many of us proud to be Democrats in the first place. Awesome. All right, now. Now that. That's great. And I love that. And I love that he is a proud Democratic socialist. So we don't have to guess what his politics. He's definitely attaching him to, you know, really definitive socialists out there, Bernie Sanders and aoc. But there seems to be this interesting trend also. Jordy with in particular, like one of my favorite things about AOC coming as a former bartender. And then, you know, there's that great video of. Of her doing like this, you know, rooftop dance in New York City, girl dance, sorority girl dance, or whatever it is, and going to really wealthy schools, you know, and if you're not familiar, Zohran attended the fine arts. Okay, well, he is. He is, you know, this young man who's an extreme advocate for social equalities and lifting up those who are impoverished and giving more opportunity, which I'm all for. I think that that definitely needs to happen mostly through better education and great job capabilities, but at the same time, handing out free stuff to people doesn't work. And socialism at its core is fundamentally communism, and that's what it ultimately leads to. But the other thing that I find interesting is they always now seem to have these millennial candidates and younger, no offense there, brother, always seem to have some of these other interest. Listen, man, I. I'm not exactly the. The least eccentric person on. On the, on the. On the block either doing this, but play this video for me. And this is another interesting one out of. Out of Zoan's background. Yeah, another banger. Another banger. That to you. Nny. If you really feeling good track for you make a rap for you. Nani. Now, I. It is catchy. I love it. I think it's good. Kind of catchy. You know, I think it's really good. And. And, you know, but again, you know, this guy's pretty interesting, man. You know, he immigrated. He's from Ugandan Indian descent. He came to New York when he was 7 years old. Got his citizenship 2018, and immediately after getting engaged with some, you know, other type of political activism, he ran for the New York State assembly for the 36th district of Queens, and that was in 2021. You know, he's also attended or been involved in some other interesting political roles. He joined the Democratic Socialists of America in 2017, did campaign work for Kadar El Yateem, a Palestinian Lutheran minister for the New York City Council, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. He served as campaign manager for Ross Bar Khan's bid for New York State Senate. He was a field organizer for Tiffany Coban's campaign for Queens County District Attorney, and also fellow Democratic socialist. You know, he's all about grassroots organizing. And really kind of pushing forward this chant, or not chant per se, but this idea that we need to lift up impossible, impoverished people, give them more opportunities and create a more equal playing field. And what's ironic is he's in the wealthiest city in, in the country doing this, you know what's. What a lot of people. His campaign for this mayor mayoral campaign was, was pretty significant, right? I mean, he had something like 45,000 people volunteer to support him and he raised $7 million. You know, that, that's, that's significant. And you know, I, I think what we're seeing, and this is something that I think is really the, the key to evaluate here. Why are democratic socialists. Why are they gaining steam among the younger populations? I got great. Because they got great rap videos, dude. That. And they promise a lot of free shit. That's. Dude, let's just get down to. All right, let me just go through some of these, right? Rent freeze. A rent freeze on rent, stabilizing units and building affordable social housing. We've heard that one. Transportation. Permanently eliminating fares on city buses and improving bus efficiency with priority lanes. I don't know about you, Jordy. When's the last time you ever been to New York and driven in New York? Oh, I avoided it at all costs. Okay. Dude, it is a pain in the ass. Driving around New York. There's plenty of bus lanes, traffic lanes, bike lanes. I mean, the only people who don't have access are people driving regular cars and paying taxes, right? He wants economic justice. He wants public child care, city owned grocery stores. This is the one. All right, that's the craziest one. To me. That's. That is. That's like communism with no veneer on it. Usually you try to hide it with like, oh, like the freedom for children, you know, act or something. This is like. Nope. Owning the means of production. We're just going full communist manifesto. It is what it is. Well, it's like, it's. It's like step one in that crazy evolution, right? Is that government five? Well, what. It's. It's economic justice is step one. That's what they sell. That's their bill of goods. That's what they want you to believe. That there is a profound and utter economic injustice in America. Now in certain industries, I think that it's apparent that there are some hurdles and criteria that make it more difficult for entrants. But I firmly believe that if you are a dedicated human being and you go and you do your studies, you perform well, especially if you're Underprivileged minority, you're an immigrant. There are pathways for you to achieve the highest possible trajectory to get to an Ivy League school, to get out and to integrate into a, you know, top tier political movement or ideology that next thing you know, you're, you're the Democratic nominee for, for the May for the mayor of New York City. And I also find it hilarious too. And I kind of skipped over this. You know, that dude attended Bowdoin College up in Maine, which is a $75,000 a year tuition. Right. And I haven't been able to see whether he's on student loans or how that worked. But obviously it's bizarre. And the same thing with AOC here. She went to elite schools and now she's a person for the people. And not that that's not acceptable politics, but these ideas of raising minimum wage to $30 per hour or saying that they're gonna reduce police forcing and saying that they're gonna make gender affirming care for every wants and the city's going to pay for it. I mean, what you're having and what you're. And it was funny, man, because the kind of the responses that have taken place on online, my favorite one, There was an AI video that said they had Ron DeSantis, Governor DeSantis of Florida, the great state of Florida, by the way. And they had this Jordy where he was like, yes, we're going to build a moat of alligators on the state line. And if you're from New York, when you're fleeing New York after your Democrats Democratic socialist mayor takes over. Right. Who also is a staunch supporter of the Free Palestine movement, has said some pretty intense inflammatory remarks about that situation going on over there. You know that there's going to be like a 1% tax automatically if you move in, if you come down and anybody hears you make a Democratic slash comment like in support that you're automatically deported back to, to New York. So it's just, it's, it's kind of funny to me that this keeps happening and now what is it from? I mean, and so a lot of people are like, all right, well how can a city that has a really strong old core Democratic like, like blue collar, kind of old blue dog Democrats. Right. Progressive Jews, labor unions. Right. And the reality is, is that immigration, and in the evolution of that immigration in particular in these boroughs has generated to a point where a lot of the old, the old constituents are no longer in the majority there. And so you have this voting bloc that comes from Places that are in quotations, oppressed or seeking political asylum that are really available to these type of socialist idea, this type of socialist ideology. And so what's going to happen when you start pro and then you also have all these liberal progressive rich kids and other people that have attended these colleges like Bowdoin and like all these other places that they've been indoctrinated into believing that America is fundamentally broken. The system's broken, everything's broken. And we need to, you know, tear it down and rebuilt it on the. In quotations demo. The. The. The foundation of democratic socialism, which is Marxism, all the way, all the way back. No matter where you take it, it. It winds back at Marks and Angles, right? I saw some tweet. It was like, I wish my parents were rich enough that I could believe in socialism. I was like, yeah, that's about nails. The nails are right on the head. You know, oh, man, it's. It's hilarious. And I, And I. But what you have is you have a very real serious problem now. And because, you know, this fundamental. What this fundamental. The fundamentalism has permeated across all these different boroughs. You know, they're now getting ready to put. Have a openly an open democratic socialist who has. And in his recent comments, I don't know if you heard this, but he said in an interview that if Bibi Netanyahu were to step foot in New York City for some United nations, that he would have the man arrested based on a lot of the charges that have come out of international courts already out there. And imagine if you're already pretty scared about the dramatic increase in anti Semitism spreading around New York in particular, you know, the fact that he's gonna openly saying that we're gonna do this. I mean, these are substantial radical policies for anybody who is running for any office, much less office of a city that has 8 million people and is arguably one of the most significant cities on the planet. Well, that's what I'm concerned about. Listen, I'm not much of a city guy. I've lived in big cities before. Shout out Miami. But. But there's no question, no matter What. Is it 305? I don't even know 305, baby. Yeah, let's go. There's no question that New York City is one of the greatest cities in the entire world. And when I see people like this come up and propose these policies, for example, like price controls at a grocery store, right. Go back through history. There's one way that goes. There's one direction. That goes. Which is there's not enough food. That's right. And so I'm. It's just shocking to me that a city as great as New York, as great as it should be and could be, is doing this to itself. It's like you're seeing your friend who's going down a bad path and no matter how much you talk to him, he just keeps, he just keeps making bad decisions. You're like, what are you doing, dude? That's, that's what, that's how I see it. I think everybody is susceptible to becoming an addict for free shit. Right? It's the oldest playbook. A hundred percent. Convince everybody that you're, you know, convince a large portion of, of disenfranchised youth that they're. They've been oppressed and that the only way is to overthrow the. Now the term is oligarchy. Billionaires or whatever. He is proposing a 1% tax to pay for all these on, on people that are multimillionaires and billionaires. You know, that old thing that always seems to, you know, get out there. But you know, the, the challenge is, is I think New York City is. You're on the pretense of, of something that could have really profound ramifications. To what degree we don't know. I still have, you know, like those people I mentioned, people I love dearly that are in that city. You know, I'm gonna continue to reach out and, and see what goes on and. But I'm just hoping that New York City people will awaken themselves to what the real threat is they're facing and, and get out there and vote for some common sense. But I'm not gonna definitely hold my breath on this one. Yeah, maybe they'll become a thriving, beautiful, economically rich country like Venezuela when they did that, you know, we'll see. Let's hope now, man. Cause I York, man, I love. I don't want it to happen. Yeah, yeah, but we'll see. All right. You're great at protecting your own personal information.

Next story, and this is the one that I think has radically grander ramifications on kind of just the nature of where we're at politically in America. And it's kind of with all the other things that are going on, Israel, Iran, that I'll talk about here in a minute. The New York thing, there's a big fed dust up that's brewing and we're hoping to, we're gonna do a big show on the Fed here coming up soon with a top economist. I'm trying to get into his schedule and get him on the show here soon. You know, there's this, this quiet one from the, one of the oversight committees in Congress taking place and they're doing this deep dive investigation into Biden's auto pen scandal that's taking place now. If you're not familiar, Steve Doocy kind of broke this a few weeks ago. He went back and, and analyzed. Obviously, we know the Biden really came out in a. As he was leaving his administration, there was massive controversy that one, he pardoned Fauci dating all the way back to 2014, which is kind of funny because that's exactly when the COVID research and DARPA and that whole thing was beginning. Gain of function research was offshored overseas Eco Health Alliance. So Fauci was pardoned back to 14. Then what was another thing that, that people, the Democratic pundits were ferocious about their stance that there's no way this would happen. But Biden basically pardoned his entire family in all of the oversight. That work that had been taking place with Colmer and Jordan, which had identified millions of dollars in payments from foreign entities made to the Biden family, something like $27 million from China, Ukraine, the former mayor of Russia through, I think it was, I don't know, I want to say it was 17 or 21 different LLCs that had been established with no concrete services provided whatsoever. I mean, obviously he's selling his influence. Right. And pardon his son and then the big guy or the big man or something. The big guy. The big guy. The big guy, yeah. Anyways, so this started for me really interesting because they, they initiated these interviews and the first one that really stood out last week was a guy named Anthony Bernal. Or Bernal. Yeah. Who was Jill Biden's chief of staff. And one of the, you know, we had Jake Tapper's book that came out. Yeah, there it goes. Refuses to testify tomorrow on Biden Metal decline cover up investigation. And so they're gonna issue a subpoena to force his testimony. And, you know, I think we already, everybody in any capacity already knew that Biden was. His cognitive decline was present from day one. If you didn't, you're lying to yourself. Right. It's Orwellian at its finest right there. You know, whatever you're looking at isn't the truth. We'll tell you what the truth is. And I think it's just obvious that, that his, it was, it was this. So what is that crazy? What's crazier is that they tried to go after trump for the 25th amendment reasons. Right. That he was not mentally fit. I'M like, man, that's the most pot calling the kettle black thing I've ever heard in my life. Alinsky's rules, right? Always accuse your enemy of what you're doing. And. And I think that's the. The standard playbook for these, this crew. Anyway, so he said, I'm not testified, which was smart. Until you give a subpoena, I'd never. And then I'd plead the fifth, hands down, every time but the next one. And play this video. This is a video of Neera Tanden. Now, I'll tell you who she is in a second. But she was called in and gave some absolutely shocking testimony to this oversight committee. Would you play that for me? Here's a little clip, a brief package comment. Thank you. Thank you. I just spoke with the House Oversight Committee, majority and Minority council. I answered every question, was pleased to discuss my public service, and it was a thorough process, and I'm glad I answered every question. Was there an effort to disguise President Biden's condition? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. She ditches off the side. Now, you know, you know, she comes out and I, I love that. Oh, yeah, I was. I was amenable. Is happy. Well, you know what she did? She went under for a five hour testimony, and what ultimately came out of that, and she was in charge of the auto pen from 2021, October 2021, to May 2023, and served as White House step secretary and senior advisor. She confirmed she was responsible for managing the flow of documents to and from the President during this period. So they give you this little White House secretary, right? And this is what's so brilliant about the Democratic Party and how they cover up the true indication or the true capabilities of their Democratic operatives right now. And just one second, I'm gonna make one more point in here. And what was another thing that was fascinating was under this testimony, they kept pressing her, and she got to a point where it was, hey, what. What happened once. Who. Who did you want? Who did you get the approval from directly? Right. Who said, yes, go ahead and apply the auto pen to this, this sickness, this pardon, this whatever it was, whatever document it needed to be signed. And she comes out and she goes, I'm not sure. I'm not sure who gave the final approvement. All I know is I reached out to somebody in his inner circle. They gave me the thing, I put the auto pen to work and I sent it back, and that's all I did. I don't know anything else. Right. And that seems like. Like A legitimate response from a White House secretary. Right. Aha. Though who is near a tenon. All right. This is the. Where things get a little tricky. Um, so who is she so near? Tannen was a. An In. A daughter of Indian immigrants from Bedford, Massachusetts. Right. Was raised by a single mom. You know, very tough upbringing. But she ended up graduating from Bedford high school in 88, and she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA in 1992. And this is where she began her political. Her political ambition. And she worked for the Michael dukakis campaign in 1988. She received a juris Doctorate, a law degree from Yale law School in 1996, and served as the submissions editor for the Yale Law and Policy Review. That's where things start to really kickstart her political career. Right. Once you go to Yale, Harvard, Cornell. Once you do all your. Pretty much at Yale and Harvard, you go to law school there. Right. The doors automatically open, and the next thing. She found herself in the Clinton administration, where she had a rapid rap ascent. She was the Associate Director for domestic policy under Bill Clinton, 1997-99, where she was a strong advocate for domestic policy work focused on issues like tobacco control, education, children's health insurance, women's health, and family leave. Right. All things that were near and dear to raising. Coming up as a. Being raised by a single mom. Right. Then she became the senior policy advisor to the first lady, Hillary Clinton, from 97 to 99. Why? Because they had already said, well, let's have Clinton go out, hold the public office, and then run for president as soon as she can. Right. Which, guess what she ended up doing. She served as the deputy campaign manager and policy director for Hillary Clinton's successful 2000 U.S. senate campaign. And just so you know, she ran that Senate campaign again against RF John F. Kennedy Jr. Who ended up mysteriously dying in that plane. Right. Oh, my God. But I'm not gonna go down all that. That's. That. I'm not gonna be conspiracy conspiratorial to my audience. We're not conspiracy theorists. We're just saying that if you were one, that's what it would look like. If you were one, that would. It's not to say I don't. I don't read conspiracy theories because they're so fascinating fun. But I certainly. I'm not going to try and go down that rabbit hole with this. All right? She was legislative director of the election, worked as Senate Clinton's legislative director, managing policy. Sorry, priorities. Then here's a kicker. This is where I love it. Then she goes to work for the center for American Progress. Now, if you're not familiar, the center for American Progress was a think tank started by John Podest to be a counter policy think tank for the Heritage foundation and was started in 2003 where she served as a senior Vice President of Domestic policy. She was the President and CEO from 2011 to 2021. So that is a long run of policy. Now, if you're not familiar why these places are so impactful, I always, again, I direct you to go listen to some of the stuff that Mike Benz has put on, put out there about how NGOs work in influencing policy, mandate direction. So what you'll have is you'll have, and this is the right and the left, you'll have one of these think tanks that'll be heavily influenced by people that were on formal political campaigns, are part of campaigns, worked in senior positions within the White House or government. They finish their government work, they go work for the think tanks, and then there what they do is they write policy papers that then they give and they use lobby firms to go to people in Congress and the House and the Senate, and they push these policy paper or give or pay or offer these policy papers to people who then bring them forth to present as bills so that they can present a great bill, get it signed. They do great. They're pushing policy forward, right, which is basically the continuation of what the previous administrations, and then it's how they stay connected into the government right now one of the interesting things about the CAPS advocacy arm, they have a pretty unique donor influence over the years. Bain Capital, Blackstone and several other massive financial institutions. They've also hosted events for Netanyahu and others. She actually, when she was took under the Obama administration, she went to work for them. She was the senior advisor to health reform at the Department of Health and human services from 2009-11. And you know, she really has always been floating in kind of the internal apparatus of the highest echelon of the Democratic Party, which is the Clintons and the Obamas. You know, she was again a senior aide to Clinton's campaign in 16. You know, after the loss, Clinton did not run for office and she went back to CAP for broader policy mandates and running that organization. Now in 2021, she was nominated for the Office of management and budget, 2020-21. Now under her Senate confirmation hearings, which were a blast, and I watched some of these. She had put out, obviously some pretty inflammatory tweets back in the day, calling people out in Pretty dramatic ways. Well, all of these senators came back and said, is this your tweet? Is this your tweet? How can you be biased? And all this. So she got shut down. So what'd they do? What'd they do? Under the Biden administration of a cognitively impaired president? We're gonna make her a White House secretary. Yeah. So you have one of the most significant political operatives in the last 30 years who's come up through the ranks, who's worked with the most senior people. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, the Obamas. Right. The center for American Progress, all of their affiliations, their connections, which was also. The other one I didn't talk about, is they received substantial funding from George Soros and his organization. I still haven't found any. And if they've got any government funding yet, but I think we could do that. See if. See if that. See if the. The. If they've ever received any. The center for American Progress, see if they've. If they ever received any government funding from USAID or. Or the State Department or anything like that. If you could. For me. All right, so here is a person that, you know, has been an intense political operative who now is a secretary in the White House who's in charge of the auto pen and comes out and says, yeah, I definitely was in charge of it. I was doing it. You know, there was one in particular where Biden was on vacation down in the islands and there was a pardon administered. And they're calling that out because she was in charge of it. Did he have authorization? And I think, you know, again, this goes back to what. This goes back to all of the stuff that we've talked about in earlier shows. Right. Jordy is. All right, let's get to it, man. Let's. Let's. Let's put these people under legal oath. Let's make them answer questions under subpoena to the penalty of perjury, to the penalty of the law. And if there's something there, man, let's. Let's get an investigation going. Now, I'm hopeful that Pam Bondi and Cash Patel are already doing an investigation into this scandal, because if this is true. True. I want you to realize the impact of this. If this is true. We already know Biden was cognitively declined. Right. Jake Tapper's book confirmed that. All these other people have confirmed it. We already know that's true. We already know that pretty much. There was Susan Rice, who was a former Obama senior administration. I mean, inner circle. She was involved in it we know John Podessa was brought back in, Clinton advised. So we know all of the people surrounding Biden were political operatives from Clinton's and Obama's. And now this woman who is one of the senior members of that establishment was in charge of the auto pen. Right. That warrants investigation. And if that's true, that essentially means everything that we saw come out of the Obama, the Biden administration, fiscal policy, foreign affairs, pardons, all of these things about shutting down different aspects of financial drilling, all these things. And then more importantly, the unrestrictive warfare, political warfare that was waged against Donald Trump starting in 2016 from the FBI, from the CIA, from DOJ. All right, these people are all tied to this. And so what you have to start to do is to take a step back and allow yourself to start connecting these pieces, right? Because what's taking place and my internal suspicion is that it's much grander than any one particular party. But I think the Democratic Party has had, had the greatest stranglehold on, on our political institutions since really Clinton. Right. And what you have is you have a conspiracy that's. So there it is. There's that word again, right? Maybe not a conspiracy, maybe a RICO case or something like that. What's the legal term? Conspiracy is good. That's fine. Hey, did you find that thing on. Yes. Yeah. Did they get, receive any federal fund? They have not received any direct significant government funding as primary because primary revenue comes from charitable contributions with over 96% from individuals and foundations, 2% from labor unions, corporations. But they've, it does say, however, they've engaged with government related activities such as receiving small amounts of foreign government funding for specific events, conferences supported. So it's not directly, but right next to. Let me tell you how this works. Okay, so let's say I'm a, I'm a foreign government, all right? Whatever government X is. And I want to get my voice heard to somebody on the inner circle. So you have these non profits, these NGOs, they say, hey, we're going to have this function X at this, you know, you know, five star hotel in New York City. We're having this beautiful panel of expert people on, you know, all the different things that we're talking about. We're going to have the head of some giant asset management fund. We're going to have a head of a bank, we're going to have a head of some policy or a think tank. We're going to have former political people from the House and the Senate, maybe even a former President or two talk. Right? What's your donation at this. For this event? Oh, here's. Here's 500,000. Here's a million dollars. Well, all right, then, guess what? You come to their event, and we're going to give you four hours in meetings directly with these politicians or people that have political influence. That's the way this whole thing works, and it's on both sides. Everybody's equal. Everybody does it, but that's the way it work. If you want to get your voice heard, you got to pay somebody to do it, and I. I don't care. And that goes all the way down to municipalities, and it sucks. And all of that needs to be wide open in terms of its transparency. But that's the way the political system works, and it ain't gonna change anytime soon. So just know that this is the process of how it works. So you have this auto pen thing, which could be on a scale unlike anything we've ever seen before, but it's part of a grander conspiracy to really kind of stop kind of a populist nationalist movement in America, make America great again. Right? The MAGA movement, which has now become essentially the rising political movement of America, American policy, led by President Donald Trump. So that's what this is. That's why it's relevant. That's why it's critical to understand. Understand this. All right, what's next? Jordy? What. What are we doing now, bud? I don't know, but I need an auto pin. I want one. What are you gonna sign? What. Like, what do you. Whose signature are you gonna sign? What? If you could auto. Auto pen anybody's signature, what would it be? Wouldn't you just find, like, a rich person's bank account or something like that and say they wrote you a check for a million dollars or something and just. Just auto pin it? Dude. Dude. Yeah, That's. That's Bernie Madoff, right? That's Les Weckner. Epstein and Les Wexner. I think the auto pan happens quite a bit, and it's called pyramid schemes. Right? Perfect. That was a jump. That was. That was not funny. But, yes, auto pens are great, but power of attorney, I think it's the same thing. What I don't want is. I don't want. I. Jordy, you go for it, but I don't want the president having an auto pen. I think that needs to be outlawed. Yeah, we lived. Apparently we live for. In a lie for four years, so that's not great to hear. Yeah, that. That's. That's that's disturbing. All right, we will get back and more on that. All right.

So Please go visit davidrutherford.com and sign up for your Embrace Fear course today. Welcome back. This is the doozy portion of it. Obviously I've been hit up constantly, people wanting me to really give some analysis and my thoughts on what's taking place in Israel and Iran. As I said before, I did do a quick hit on Sean Hannity's radio show this week week you could check that out. And I discussed just the prowess of the U.S. military, the capabilities of the strikes and I'll talk about that here in a little bit. But I didn't really give it a chance to give my opinion which I will here. Second but just as a recap, the so called 12 Day War began on June 12th where the IAEA came out led by US, UK, France, Germany. Germany passed a resolution that said that Iran was non compliant with their evaluation. But they did say the director general Raphael Grassi states that there was no proof of Iran pursuing a nuclear weapon. And that also kind of co what he Tulsi Gabbard had given a presentation in front of Congress saying that there was, they did, they didn't have any conclusive proof that they were, they were close to a weapon a few months ago, which then she's retracted. And they said yeah, they, they, they do believe that they had more there on on newer intelligence. Well, late that evening, Israel launched a massive surprise attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and military leadership. And they called it Operation Rising Lion. On June 13, the airstrikes continued by Israel targeting sites at Natanz, Fordo and Isfran as well as military command centers. And they were trying to wipe out the upper echelon of the IRGC of nuclear scientists. I mean they were trying to chop the head off the snake for sure. That night, Iran retaliated with over 100 drones and ballistic missiles targeting Iran, most of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome. Netanyahu states the strikes were planned since September, delayed from April to allow US Diplomatic efforts. All right. And Trump had come out and said, hey, we're giving you 60 days to come to the table and negotiate. So all this has taken place. Well, it just kept Escalating from there, right? June 14, Israel expands strikes to Iran's energy sector there. Iranian authority reports 224 deaths in Tehran. The Khomeini vows severe punishment. June 15, Israel conducts third day of airstrikes. Iran health minister reports 430 civilian deaths, over 3,000 injuries. That's when president finally started to say, you know, hey, let's negotiate, let's get a deal, let's end the conflict. June 16th, Iran launches a barrage of missiles, one striking apartment complex. Panic grips Tehran as Israel warned civilians to evacuate Tehran. This thing just kept building and building back and forth. June 17th through the 18th, more missiles fired from back and forth. Diplomatic talks in Geneva fail to yield the breakthrough. June 19, Iranian missile tax diminished possibly due to degraded capabilities. Iran blocks Internet access for over 12 hours. June 20th, Israel continues strikes. Netanyahu claimed Iran's nuclear program military capabilities called operation Historic have been debilitated. And then here it is. June 22, the US joins the conflict using many 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs and essentially has come out and said that the US in this massive strike that involved all different types of military assets, all different ballistic cruise missiles from the ocean, from subs, we had the B2 bomber strikes that they, we decimated the Iranian capability. Then after that, on the 23rd, Iran had a limited launch strike against the US L Udine Air base in Qatar, prompting a real backlash because he had essentially said Trump had come out and said, hey, he'd negotiated a ceasefire. They did this prior to. Now there it has come out that they said that there was prior knowledge. They gave a kind of a heads up to Qatar, which then told us. And then later on, Israel launched another attack right before the ceasefire. And that's where we got to the place where I woke up. And Trump is dropping F bombs about these two nations. Don't know what the f. They're doing. I think after that the, the, the, the ceasefire has held both coming out, you know, Israel and the US with substantial claims for victory that they have completely knocked back their capabilities for years, saying it will take years to rebuild. So that's where we are to date now. I think what I really want to let everybody know is, is my thoughts and my thoughts are this, I think one, you know, there was a massive split that took place on the right because of this. There was a large group of people saying that this is the dumbest thing that we could ever is wage or start or be involved in this very regional conflict between Israel and Iran and saying this is not our war. We should not get involved. We cannot get in another forever war in this area. And this is a lot based on the monumental failures of regime change policy from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, you name it. All of these, if you look at them, have been a tactical failure to the tune of essentially 8 to 9 trillion dollars in debt. And the one that really is hard for me is all of my friends who died engaged in those wars overseas, plus all of my friends who are feeling, including myself, the impact that from those actions and the long term effects of going to war for that long. Most of the, I think the rallying cries were coming from the GWAT veterans in particular. A lot of guys that I'm friends with and follow online who had very valid points. Now the other side of this is the people that are staunch supporters of Israel as our one prominent significant ally in the region. And they're saying, hey, you know, this is an existential threat. You have These Ayatollahs since 79 have been chanting death to America. Death to America. They've been actively engaged in sponsor the largest, this is the term everybody used, the largest state sponsor of terrorism with Hamas, Hezbollah, a lot of these other groups in the area. I certainly know that, that friends of mine face a lot of technology, vbid and ID technology taught around, you know, to certain rebel groups in Iraq that were taught by the Quds Force and how to make these. And so there were Americans that have been, you could say the Beirut attacks. So there is a long line of, of aggression coming out of Iran and its proxy Nazis. And these people were saying, listen and you know, this is it, we have to get rid of these people. These people on this side then were coming back and said, well, this has been the stated goal for Israel in particular NETANYAHU since the 90s. And the, what he's always been saying is that they're right on the pack capacity of a nuclear weapon and they're five weeks away, 10 weeks away, they're one year away and we got to get rid of, of them. You know, so they're, these people are in this massive conflict. And what I, what it really found striking was that it, I think it has caused a real rift in, in the MAGA movement. I mean, there is now a definitive crack in some of the most predominant pundits that were formerly joined in the support of President Trump and what he's doing now. I want to praise the military, these people that conducted this operation, which by the way, just came out in a, in a press release, a press conference earlier with Pete Hegseth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dan Kane, that this operation had been in planning for 15 years. They actually developed unique technology to be able to penetrate the depth of what needed to penetrate in order to really have an impact on, you know, because, you know, it was built underneath this mountain, so you had to really get down and they developed technology for this. You know, one of the quotes is that these people have lived this target for 15 years. And then there was the other really cool thing. And I'm really beginning to fall in love with this. Fall in love. That's extreme. But you know, it's just nice to see strong leaders that are supportive of the military and what we're here to do as war fighters. And that's Dan King. And so he praised, you know, the young guys that were on that base that Iran was sent missiles to, and their reactions were. And so Jordi, can you play that clip? Because I just thought this was a great representation of support for our young men and women that are out there on the front lines. Folks had moved off the base to extend the security perimeter out away from what we assessed might be a target zone. Except for a very few army soldiers at Al Udid, at that point, only two Patriot batteries remained on base. Roughly 44American soldiers responsible for defending the entire base, to include centcom's forward headquarters in the Middle east, an entire air base and all the US forces there. The oldest soldier was a 28 year old captain. The youngest was a 21 year old private who'd been in the military for less than two years. So let's put ourselves out there for a second. Imagine you're that young first lieutenant, you're 25 or 26 years old, and you've been assigned as the tactical director inside the command and control element. You at that age are the sole person responsible to defend this base. Listening next to you is your early warning operator whose job is to notify you of imminent attack. There's five people inside a vehicle and five people outside of a vehicle around these, a total of, As I said, 44. By the way, you. You've sat in the Middle east for years, deployed over and over again, extended multiple times, always being prepared but unsure of when that particular day will come. That you must execute your mission and not fail at doing it. Yeah, you know, I just. What I love to see is I love to see the leadership praising the young men and women that are doing the job, that are have their lives on the line, that don't have any control of the policy, what's going on. But they're there every day, day in and day out in those shitholes around the, around the world, and they're at their best. And I just, I just, Kudos to all you that are serving out there, man. I love you. We all believe in you, we support you, and we just thank you for your dedication. And you know, those, the pilots that flew for 37 hours, the people that did flew the fueling planes, the people that were on launching and loading the cruise missiles into their launch mechanisms, you know, I mean, these people are dedicated and they really are, and I just want to commend them and really, you know, say thank you for what you did. You know, my opinion on this is, I think Trump's actions, although I am as staunchly opposed to any new ground fighting or any engagement in another war in the Middle East, I do not want to see that. Think you can have a regime change in Iran. This is an old culture. They are dedicated to this way of life. I, I, if, if that's going to happen, if you think you're going to go in and just change this country of 90 million plus people, you're out of your mind. It's not going to happen. I don't believe we, it would benefit the United States in any way, shape or form that we, it's going to benefit us. However, I do think this strike was necessary for Trump's ability on the global stage. Right. As a man that ran conclusively on the position that I am going to end the wars in Ukraine and Russia, I'm going to end the war in Israel, in Gaza, and him not being able to have any meaningful movement in all of that. We saw, we saw talks break down in Ukraine, Russia a few months ago with their big surprise drone attack hitting military bases. I think this puts him back in a very positive position of strategic strength in the prowess of America's might. Right. That we can conduct one of these incredible tactically superior strikes that have massive, destabilizing and debilitating effects on the military capacity of a major country and a major player in the region. And so I think it was a benefit long term for sure. We definitely don't need to have any more people that are staunchly opposed to America having nuclear weapons. What I would like to see is, I would like to see Israel join the iaea. I would like them to contribute to some type of acknowledgement of their nuclear program. I think that's fair. I think it puts everybody equally on the table. I think It's a legitimate argument to make. But I also agree they have every right to act as they need to defend their sovereignty, to defend whatever they think. But I do know that there are some challenges that they're facing, obviously. Trump released a post on Truth Social acknowledging that Netanyahu has been called in by the Supreme Court to answer questions on this massive corruption probe that has been going on in his career for many, many, many years. Trump came out to defend him and said, as a person himself who was attacked politically for years and years and years, and a lot of these attacks were fabricated. I don't know. I don't know very much about the. I know there's a documentary out there about this somewhere. I need to do more research on what it is. But prior to October 7, there was a large call for Netanyahu to be removed from power. The president has come in and to defend him and to say, hey, this should stop this investigation. Netanyahu is your greatest wartime leader you've had. So there is still a strong support between the United States and Israel and their current situation. Now, what was interesting is that right after this massive operation and hopefully the ceasefire sticks. I'm really praying for that. We don't need any more bloodshed between those two nations. Trump went to a major NATO summit in Ukraine, Europe, and was able to have a very successful trip. Right. He was able to get commitment from the NATO countries in Europe of a 5% GDP increase towards military spending, which was huge. He did get. I don't know what specific. I don't think a lot of this had come out or I haven't seen it, that Zielinski came out and said he. He's more amenable to peace negotiations now. I don't know what you're going to do with. Yeah, thanks for posting that. You know, I've had a long. And he says this for listeners. I had. This is from Zelinsky. I had a long and substantive meeting with President Trump. We covered all the truly important issues. I thank Mr. President, I thank the United States. We discuss how to achieve a ceasefire in a real peace. We spoke about how to protect our people. We appreciate the attention and the readiness to help bring peace closer. Details will follow. Man, that's a much different one, Jordi, than this meeting in the. In the White House last time. I mean, I think the Louisiana. Yeah. And what was awesome is the little guy actually put on a suit for this meeting, which was cool. I was glad to see he's tightening the ship, knowing that now old Daddy is dropping bombs and making his authority here. And that's the last video I want to show in all this. Mark Root, who was the former head of the European Union, who became the head of NATO, was in an interview where basically made the comment that Trump. Trump was talking about, you know, Israel and Iran as two, you know, school bullies on the playground that just kept hitting each other. And then Mark Root suggested that, yeah, Daddy had to come in and solve the problem. Can you play that clip for me, Jordi? It's from Sky News. Mark Rutter, the NATO chief who is your friend. He called you Daddy Early. Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children? No. He likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'll come back, and I'll hit him hard. Okay? He did. He did it very affectionately. Daddy. You're my daddy, dude. The one thing I love most is Trump is the president that just keeps. Keeps giving us the best memes on the planet. In fact, the White House actually made a post of him returning, and they actually use the term Daddy's home. Do you have that, Jordy? Oh, we have it. I just want to get your attention. I really want to be all up in your head. Yeah. All right, all right. That's good. That's good, dude. I'm telling you, if you're watching all of this, I hope you're gaining some entertainment. I know all this is incredibly serious. It's putting a lot of pressure. The talks about World War three, the talks about the destabilization of the nation, what we're facing, all that. But, man, who's ever run in that White House? Social media is a real hero for me. I mean, they're trying to bring levity to all this. It's the new era. It's how things are done. Trump is the endless meme provider and giver. Right, Shorty? I mean, it's just endless, endless gold. I'm gonna. I'm gonna miss him. Because Man X has never been more fun than when Trump's president. Yeah, right. For sure. Now, again, I just want to, you know, talk about. There's still a lot of unknowns with all of these things. We promise to keep you assessed. We'll come back or try and keep doing these weekend reviews. We hope. We're. We're offering a great consolidation of information. And again, that's our real, real mandate to try and bring as much together for you, to help you kind of understand the landscape of all this, and then to give A limited opinion about what I feel. And so what I think is America is in a great spot. I think we potentially helped avoid a broader scale outbreak that's long term. You have to be seen. There's always going to be fighting in the region. I just want you to understand that this is ideological in nature. These people have been feuding with each other in the modern era, really since, you know, Israel began its campaign to establish itself as its own state. I don't see any end to this feud in the future. Hopefully what we can do is with this new establishment of Trump's prowess in the region, maybe we can orchestrate some type of solution that's indicative of something prior to the 1967 war and maybe a two state solution. I'm not sure. I mean, obviously the Abrahamic Accords were an interesting start. It does seem that there are more Middle Eastern countries that are a lot more prone to these discussions. But you also have part of the crescent moon over there in terms of Turkey and Pakistan and Iran that all seem to be in the same camp in terms of their stance on being anti Israel.
