David Rutherford
Secretary of War lights a fire under some fat asses. James o' Keefe is on fire exposing corruption. Elon's on fire trying to cancel Netflix. And the government is on fire in a shutdown. The week in review on the David Rutherford Show. Oo yah. What's up everybody? Instructor Rut here back on the microphone for the end of the week. And I'll tell you what, I am super fired up, most importantly because the Secretary of war, right, Mr. Pete Hegseth, did something this week that I've been waiting to see for longer than the last administration, even before Trump's first administration, all the way back into the Obama administration. And that was to light a fire under the asses of our leading generals, admirals and all the other punks up there.
Pete Hegseth
Right from this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this war fighting, preparing for war and preparing to win. Unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war, no one here wants war. But it's because we love peace. We love peace for our fellow citizens. They deserve peace and they rightfully expect us to deliver it. Our number one job, of course, is to be strong so that we can prevent war in the first place. The President talks about it all the time. It's called peace through strength. And as history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war to defend it.
David Rutherford
Listen, one of the things that drives me nuts is we're so bloated and top heavy for these officers. We have more flag officers now than we did during World War II. And what does that tell you? That the bureaucracy at DoD has been overwhelmed by these people just sitting around, camping out, making money, writing books and prepping to have these insane opportunities. And all the defense intelligence or the defense companies, all the think tanks, right, McKinsey. And all these people bringing these people in at seven figures, right out of a government after what, 30 plus years of failed engagements, failed warfare. Now listen to all you GWOT people out there. I love you. The ones that were in the trenches, both soft guys, non soft guys, people in the motor pool, people serving in the fact. All of you, I love you to death. And I hope you know that. And the reason is because you were in the. You were in the trenches. You were eating the crap, you were bathing in the, the nasty flake in the stand. You were in the hot box. You were there doing it while all these sobs were up on Capitol Hill at the Pentagon getting fat. That's my favorite part of the whole thing, man. All you fat asses, your games are up, right? No more of this dei, no more of the trans nut nonsense. All of you go pack sand, you're out. Period. And if you don't like it, go get bent. Now all I could think when I heard this be, you know, this beautiful speech from Pete. All I could see was like the next PT test come, you know, D O D Y Jordy. And all these fat ass admirals and generals and captains and majors and all this, right? And their, their little PT outfits and their you little safety belts around, right? And they get up on that pull up bar and they can't do one damn pull up, man. Not one, not one damn pull up. And then they're out of here, right? They just start going, hey, here's your orders. Thanks for coming, right?
Jordy
Oh, didn't they say you have to PT every duty day or something like that?
David Rutherford
Every day. That's the standard, man. And I mean, I don't know what the hell happened. Every day when we went into, in, in the command, right, when we weren't on the road TR from 7:30 to 9 every damn day, you're PT. And now for us, that was like, ah, that's awesome. That's our go time. Unless you're doing new guy surf passage in, you know, 15 to 20 foot surf because. And everybody on the berm seen if you're gonna drown to death, like that's. That. That wasn't so cool. But everything else was. All right, then you finish pt, right? You get back, you go, you shower, shave, you go to the gut truck, you get a little breakfast burrito bomb. You, you stand at muster, you have your pinch of Copenhagen and you start your day. And that's the teams, right? And I love that. Imagine what's going on at these random commands all over the world with no standards, no PT testing, no regular pt. In fact, I'm seeing right now, right, the, the interwebs are flooded with all these army personnel and Navy and all this like, I'm not doing any damn PT tests. I'm. I'm not. And then I even love the fact that Pete came out and said, all you people who have your no shave chips, guess what? You're out of here, you're done. And all the soft guys are like, we get to keep them, you know. But guess what? You're shaving too.
Jordy
Can you imagine if you Just said, back in your day, it sounds like they used to do this. And then it. I'm just feeling. I don't know this, but it sounds like the PT's falling off or something. It's. Can you imagine back in the day, you would be like, I'm not doing the PT test, are you?
David Rutherford
I would have gotten a beat down. Let me tell you how strict it was at Seal Team 1. So I'm over in Afghanistan, right? Right. And for some bizarre reason, they're like, all right, there's a general, you know, the, the SOCOM general's in town, he's in Afghanistan, he's going to head out. We want to give atta boys, like, exceptional guy or whatever. And me and this comm guy got noted. We got noted, right? And so our task unit commander looks at us and goes, all right, you guys go shave up. And we had to bring a starched desert uniform right to the. To. To the stand. And I'm like. And my. By then, like, my neck beard was bigger than my upbeard, right? That's how burly I was. Like, I. I look like a Chechen, right? And I'm like, sir, like, you're gonna make me shave and go to this thing? Absolutely. This team won. This is what we do. So I went and shaved this big, beautiful beard that I had grown, right? And got in my dress uniform. We show up first, obviously, and we're sitting there and we're like, all right, everybody's going to come in. The first guys that come in were the Air Force guys. And they were pretty, you know, kind of raggedy hair, a little scruff going, but looked like they had maybe shaved in the last couple weeks, right? Wearing their sterile cammies, all this. Then the SF guys came in, right? Beards, like, wearing like, T shirts and, you know, just, you know, basically their uniforms that were mess. And then this was the funniest one dude. And then it was two combat controllers that had been there since the invasion came in, and they're wearing cut off BDU's and Hawaiian shirts, right? And their beards look like ZZ Top beards. And. And I'm like, mother, are you kidding me? And so I got my coin and shook the dude's hand, like. And I walk out of there and I looked at my buddy and I'm like, I had to shave my damn beard for this damn coin. Are you kidding me right now? So, gosh, we tell when I tell you, like, inspections, like the whole deal, man. At team one, like, that is coming back and you know, there's a certain thing about, you know, military bearing. Right. The way people end up following orders under duress is that you train them. And if there's no military bearing, then guess what? Under duress, those people are going to be like, I'm not doing that. Because there's no consequence for denying a basic order. And military bearing is a fundamental concept that keeps a military in fight readiness. Right. Because if you have people who start, all of a sudden, the slack grows and grows and grows and grows. The next thing you know, you have people like General Milley calling China before Trump comes into office and saying, hey, don't worry about it, we got this. You know, just call me if you need anything. That's what happened. And that's what happened in, in, you know, over the last eight years of the madness we ensured is that those standards of, of military bearing, rank, command and control all deteriorated. And so they break bad. And so while, you know, why don't you play that, that section for Pete where he calls out the fat asses? Yep.
Pete Hegseth
It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the Secretary of War can do regular hard pt, so can every member.
David Rutherford
Of our joint force.
Pete Hegseth
Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country in the world.
David Rutherford
It's a bad look.
Pete Hegseth
So whether you're an airborne Ranger or a chairborne Ranger, a brand new private or a four star general, you need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.
David Rutherford
Man, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, dude. And it had to happen. All of you who think that that's not nice, you go be keep being a fatty because guess what I mean, you don't have to pick up a 200 pound man in full kit and run them 300 meters or you know, and you're like, w. Nobody in the motor pool or on a ship has to do that. USS Cole, right? How many motor pools got bombed? How many bases got bombed? And the next one that goes could be massive. Right. Even if you're on an aircraft carrier with drone technology, everybody's under threat now, so I don't want to hear it. Military bearing back in line. I love it. Way to go. Now the other funny part about this Jordy, if you could pull up the video where Trump comes out and tries to make him laugh and nobody as anything play that right now. I've never walked into a room so silent before. This is very. Don't laugh. Don't laugh. You're not allowed to do that. You know what? Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want. If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course. There goes your rank. That goes your future. I'm thrilled to be here this morning to address the. The senior leadership of what is once again known around the world as the Department of War. I know. Pete spoke about it. He gave a great speech. I thought, great speech. I don't want him to get so good. I hate that. You know? I hate it. I almost fired him. I said, you can. I don't want to go on after that, dude. I swear to God. I second what Joe Rogan says. And that dude is a comedian. I swear to God. He was trolling them through his whole speech, basically. Looking at him like he does. You know, he looks over his little podium thing and he kind of gives his little. Like this. And then he goes. He's basically saying, hey, guess what? There's a new sheriff in town. And either you do what I tell you to do, or you're done, right? And then I'm gonna pull your clearance, and you're not gonna get your cush job. And then all this stuff's gonna, you know. And that was like, wake up call. Like, a lot of people I talked to were, oh, sweet. He's gonna go in, he's gonna fire 30% of these flag officers, clean it out, so we can start coming from the. The bottom and bring in better, you know, officers up that chain. But I give him. I give him props that he didn't do that. He put the warning out. He shot across the bow. And I thought that was hilarious.
Jordy
So, you know, so all he has to do is say, you have to run, and that'll get the job done.
David Rutherford
That's it. That's it. You gotta pass a PT test like every other person you're in command of.
Jordy
That's one way to clear it out.
David Rutherford
Up. Oh, they're gone. They're all gone. Because nobody wants that bad.
Jordy
I don't know. I'm not in it.
David Rutherford
Is you.
Jordy
Is it that bad?
David Rutherford
It's horrific. It's absolutely horrific. You walk on bases and the Navy is pathetic, man. The Navy just dropped. Oh, my God. It's pathetic. I. I have buddies that are still you know, still in, still out there. And you see people walking around, you know that, that probably couldn't do 10 push ups. Probably couldn't run a mile without stopping, right? Really? Oh, God, it's. It's pathetic. It's pathetic. And so, you know, it's over. That's what I love. You put that fire like. We used to have this great award in buds and it was called the fire in the gut award. You know, there was the honor man, guy who didn't fail a thing, passed everything best in the class honor. But then they gave the. The best award to the guy that just had heart and grit and like honoring, just grinding. And so there's a special place with that whole mentality of the fire in the gut. So when he come out and he's lighting fire under these fat asses, man, I love that so much, it's not even funny now. I know I'm gonna, you know, my kids are gonna see this and they're gonna be like, but dad, you're pretty fat yourself right now and I hear you. So I'm gonna get in shape to be do the PT test. What was it? It was like, you're not even in.
Jordy
You're not the fat shaming I, I got.
David Rutherford
What are you talking about, man? My, my, my, my daughters eviscerate me on a regular basis. I got to do this. So they crushed me too.
Jordy
It's all right.
David Rutherford
All right. I love it. All right, all right, second one. Here we go. You have a lot of choices for cell phone service. And with new ones popping up all the time, it gets tough to know which one to go with. But here's the deal. Deal.

How about. Oh boy. James O' Keefe Holy cow. If, if. Let, let me just put out a public service message for you right now. If you work in the government at any level, if you work for a big company that is considered corrupt or whatever, if you work in the healthcare community, if you work in insurance, if you work at a investment management, if you work at any of these places that people are pissed off about and some hot girl comes up to you and wants to have a drink with you, man, you gotta be able to check twice, right? What's going on? Because this dude is slaying it right now. I wonder how big his army of honeypot investigators. What do you think? Gory? Can we rock that? Is that an available number?
Jordy
I didn't even think about that. You'd have to run like a whole campaign of like finding candidates like lead generation, like bringing in the girls, interview them, you know, I probably have to. Do you have to do the Secretary of War standards? No fatties like you just gotta, you gotta get them squared away.
David Rutherford
Honey pot's the oldest trick in the book, man. And so it works too, dude. You, I mean my favorite one, right, is this guy Jordan Jefferson. Jordan Jefferson is a top level assistant or what do you call people work for congressmen and senators. I forget what they're all. That's my brain injury right there. Anyways, he was top Assistant for Senator 8. That's right. For Senator Markey of Massachusetts. Massachusetts. And one of Okee's honeypots got him in multiple interviews admitting that he had control of Senator Markey's auto pen and that yet everybody in Congress uses an auto pen. Everybody. And apparently there is a auto pen act out there that vividly says your auto pen cannot be used unless you are aware and have given proper authorization for this. Like it's in black and white in this thing for my senator, we do auto pin. Do you have to like tell him exactly what's on it? I do it cuz I respect your signature. But nobody else. Some people don't do like ask them. I, I've never heard anybody ask, can I use the auto. I mean it's easy to blame your staff because like nobody knows who they are. Even if you did sign it be like, oh, I didn't know L get out, get out of jail free card. But this guy's basically saying, yeah, I use it all the time. And the girl was like, well like, does he tell you you can. He's like, sometimes, yeah. A lot of times like, like he's so busy he can't sign. He's. The dude was like, he was so emphatic. He goes, it's impossible for him to sign everything. He's too busy. Right? Like some senator who's been in Congress for decade plus is sitting around on his desk just like, no, no, no, I can't sign anything. I can't sign anything because I got to read this bill.
Jordy
Let me see how long it takes real quick. Hold on.
David Rutherford
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Jordy
There you go, dude, three seconds.
David Rutherford
So. And we already knew that, you know that the House Oversight Committee has been doing a deep dive and what Was it like? 80% of Biden's aides have all pleaded the fifth under inquiry about, about their auto pen usage. For the President. How many? 8,000 plus pardons. Pardoned his son, Pardoned Fauci. Pardoned his family members. Right, dude, all. I mean, so now you got to go back and go, all right, well how big is this auto prop. I think we need to revoke the autobahn thing hands down. And if Mike Johnson had a sack at all, that's what would be happening. But as we've seen for, you know, the Republican control of Congress over the, you know, since day one, not much is going on over there, Right? And so, you know, you start to think about, all right, what are the ramifications of an auto pen that's being wielded by somebody else? Well, I think we now know that it could be anything. Anything could be signed off, any type of acceptance of some type of allocation or some bill or some whatever. This is just happening because these people in charge are two in quotations, busy to sign their own, right? So, man, auto pen, in my opinion, should be X Nicks. All right, the next one where o' Keefe was on fire was this one, Jordy, this one. This one was huge. And the response to this. Why don't you, why don't you play the, the little clip right there that we got of DOJ investigative prosecutor Glenn Prager openly admitting that the whole Epstein thing is known, that he's a CIA asset, that everybody, the files are real, that he interviewed all of the Florida girls that were raped. The butcher. Why don't you play that for me right now?
Jordy
It's not talked about yet, but it's soon come out that he was a CIA.
Meaningful Beauty Advertiser
He was a CIA.
Jordy
He was a C.I.A. I think he's protecting a lot of other people. It's not, he's not protecting himself because there's nothing there, but he's protecting a.
David Rutherford
Lot of people because Trump's now saying.
Jordy
It'S a hoax, that the case is.
David Rutherford
Like a hoax or something.
Jordy
I mean, come on, you know, it's not a hoax. He's been on the plane, you know, many times. It's just he was never on the plane with the kids. I've seen the itineraries and I've interviewed all the victims. There's never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids the same road. But that can't be said for Clinton.
David Rutherford
And it can't be said for others.
Jordy
While the Clintons were on the plane.
David Rutherford
While Bill Clinton was on the plane.
Jordy
There were rapes that occur.
David Rutherford
Dude, I, I, like, I see that, I see that, I hear that. And I'll tell you what I do. I go, well, all right then. Well, that seems like it's a pretty conclusive if this guy's been in the DOJ for 16 years. He interviewed, he did, he was like an elite investigator. He basically said, yeah, the whole thing's true.
Jordy
Got honey potted.
David Rutherford
Honey potted, dude. Bad, bad old boy. Got honey potted in an airport with a follow up dinner afterwards.
Jordy
I was in the Phoenix airport getting a honey, potentially.
David Rutherford
She saw Like, a patch on his backpack that was. Identified him as, like, he worked for the government and stuff. And sheep, man, she's like, target acquired. O. You know, unbutton her blouse a little bit. Oh, Drake. Yeah, it just crushed this dude. Well, my favorite or not favorite. It's pretty pathetic, but, Jordy, can you do me a favor? Can you read the DOJ response for me based on. On. On that video coming out?
Jordy
Yes, I can. Let me pull it up right now. Why is that? Why did that disappear? What happened? Here it is.
David Rutherford
Well, dude.
Jordy
Yeah. Seriously? The Department of Justice official statement. This individual worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over 15 years ago. He has no understanding of or access to the underlying facts in this investigation. His statements should not be considered accurate.
David Rutherford
It.
Jordy
It is disgusting that someone would further exploit victims of sexual abuse by fabricating stories for their personal honey pot benefits. I added the honey pot, but, yeah.
David Rutherford
Thank you for that. That was your poetic justice there. Let me tell you what. Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter accusations. I learned that at in sof I learned that at Blackwater, and I definitely learned that sucker at the CIA. So what do we have going on here, right? What I have is we have probably the most successful citizen journalist army that's ever existed, working with James o' Keefe in his phenomenal effort to expose corruption at the highest level. Now, we still haven't gotten answers for dozens of the stories he's broken, but the biggest one ever, in my opinion, was the exposure or, you know, the exposure of the Act Blue corruption where, you know, little old grandma Betty sue outside of Baltimore, you know, had secretly invest, you know, put given $135,000 over two years to Act Blue. And then when they. James O' Keefe goes up and said, ma', am, did you donate that? Oh, yes, I did. How much did you give them over the last, you know, two years, ma', am? About $12. I'm on a fixed income and, you know, I just really believe in them. Okay, so you didn't. $125,000? Oh, good heavens, no. That's weird. All right, And. And all these stories have come out that they believe it's foreign investors. Nothing. Crickets chirp. Right. No DOJ investigation on that. Okay, second. Right. The other one was we found out from a senior level BlackRock senior VP that a US senator can cost as low as $10,000 campaign to get what you want out of them. That was another biggie. And then the big that. Wow, dude. People are cheap, right? People are Cheap, you know, people who are too dumb to figure out how to inside or trade. Right. They're just going to take the flat bribes. So. And then the other one was the exposure of the pharmaceutical companies. They had a couple senior scientists, basically said, we had no idea what we were in these. The testing was horrible. And that's when he basically got run out of Project Veritas. That's. Some similar thing happened to Tucker. Getting fired, all that, you know, that's. That's the biggest one. I'm telling you, the most catastrophic situation in human history will be, mark my words, the COVID leak, that whole thing, all what happened afterwards, all that's combined, it's all together. I'm convinced. Rut, are you becoming a conspiracy theorist? It's kind of hard to say it's theory anymore, but don't even get me started. Maybe next week I'll talk about the Tina Peters X site that released a four hour or 30 minute deposition of a guy who worked for Smartmatic, a coder who basically said, oh, yeah, Dominion Machines, the code, the operating code, they could all be overturned all over the world. That's a whole nother one. I'll get to that. Maybe next week. All right, so what do we want to see now? What we need to see is all of you keep pressing on this Epstein thing, right? There are literally hundreds of victims all over the place that were sold to other powerful people. And we need to know, right? Thomas Massie essentially exposed one banker, and he said there's a music star, an actor, you know, highest level politician, you know, talk about 20 names he's seen that are part of this whole thing. So, hey, keep pushing against this. This is one of the core points that will, you know, if. If we don't get answers on this, then, you know, we're gonna have to rattle the cage a little bit more. All right, let's move to the reverse cancellation process that's taking place right now. And Elon trying to burn Netflix house down as we speak, man. I think he did. Holy cow. Well, so what the whole thing was. Somebody posted that there are multiple children' shows on Netflix that are pushing trans ideology in their shows. And, like, these are not, like, hidden their way. They're in the front, you know, and the kids stuff, I'm trans Norma, and.
Samsung Advertiser
Everyone at school knows and everyone at home knows. And being here, it's like a whole new place.
David Rutherford
I can just be Barney and I can choose if and when I tell people.
Samsung Advertiser
I've never been happier.
David Rutherford
My kids have all graduated Onto. Geez, they're friends. Are in Friends right now, which is awesome. And oh God, huge, man. Still. Wow. Wow. You know, my brother was in an episode of friends.
Jordy
What?
David Rutherford
Yeah, Dr. Drake Remore. He was a doctor in an episode. I forget who was in the hospital. Like, holy cow. Yeah, it's hilarious. Anyways, so what came out? This dude posted this and Elon Musk is like got on the bandwagon. Wants to cancel Netflix now. Jordy Wood. This is the power of that son of a gun right there. The power of the X Army. Right. Would you post the. The stock drop for yesterday? I think it was. Yep.
Jordy
Boom.
David Rutherford
Sweet Jesus fell off a clear Jesus.
Jordy
It's like Thanos. You can just like poke and just.
David Rutherford
And it go. And it goes and it drops out. So now there's this cancel Netflix army that's going big right now. Now everybody's like, oh yeah, trans issue. This is what it is. But I think it's a little bit more competitive in that. My theory is, I believe that the recent advancement of Larry Ellison, the owner of Oracle, one of the richest men in the world, he actually had the title a couple weeks ago and then Elon took it back this week and whatever. But Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, he and his son recently purchased Paramount plus and all the streaming platforms that go with that. And then they've got a beeline on owning 50, 50% of Tick Tock. So they will be the majority stake owners of TikTok. Now that's some heavy control of the media, the mainstream media. What's fascinating to me is as X continues to grow and capture eyes and usage, it's now number one app, I think. See which. Where are they in apps in the world? Are they the number one app in the world right now?
Jordy
I don't know, but we're crushing on X lately, dude.
David Rutherford
Go follow us, dude. Yeah, please. If you want sign up for the show at D. Rutherford at D. Rutherford show on X. And it's at David Rutherford show on Tik tok and Instagram, YouTube. It's the David Rutherford show. Both those places were exploding right now and it's thanks to you. We can't thank you enough. Please give us a like subscribe and a comment. But the thing we really want you to do is just share some cool one. Like we had super bad on the other day and Eddie and man, those things are getting shared. Your glorious clippage out there, Jordy. You are the master of masters in this and I thank you. Love, love. We're crushing on that so, please, you can find every one of our full shows on X. We'd prefer you watch it there. There on YouTube would be. But if you don't want YouTube, we're cool with that. But, you know, we are trying to grow there.
Jordy
So X is ranked number one in the news category on iOS among news apps.
David Rutherford
Okay, awesome. Thank you. All right, so you have this power battle for content taking place, and I think that's what's going on. And Elon's like, yo, dude, you're not cool. You're nefarious. I don't dig you. I don't like you. So I'm gonna call you out and I'm gonna tank your stock.
Jordy
He probably said, like, hey, man, you're not cool.
David Rutherford
Here's another thing that probably provoked this. It's not just competition. Although billionaires, you know, it's all about who. Who's got the bde, right?
Jordy
Yeah.
David Rutherford
And. But would you play. Play the clip of Larry Ellison basically telling us that in the future, everybody will be wearing body cams? We essentially already have tracking mechanisms and listening devices. Right. That every. And you ought to get a Faraday, by the way. Everybody should have their own Faraday bike. What's that one company online on Instagram. I forget what. I really love those guys. I think they're making great products. Go get a Faraday bag. Put that little sucker in there. You're off the grid. Right? But play that clip for Larry, Larry Allison, where he basically saying, every human being will have their own body cam. And because of that, everybody will be on their best behavior.
Jordy
The police will be on their best behavior because we record. We're constantly recording, watching and recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. And it's unimpeachable. The cars have cameras on them. I think we have a squad car here someplace.
David Rutherford
Place.
Jordy
But those kind of applications, using AI. If we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video.
David Rutherford
Dude.
Samsung Advertiser
Dude.
Jordy
Well, you know, we. We like good behavior. Why are you against good behavior?
David Rutherford
Right? Dude. No.
Jordy
You know what the line is? You know what the line is.
David Rutherford
What is?
Jordy
Why are you afraid if you have nothing to hide?
David Rutherford
That's right. That's right.
Jordy
That's the bar.
David Rutherford
If you got nothing, why can't they be Oversight? Why can't they shove a. A rectal cat camera up my butt all the time? Why can't I do a strip search? Why can't I have My biometrics in every 30 European companies. Mandatory countries, mandatory. My fingerprint eye biometrics. Are you kidding me? As I broke the news to my kids, we, we're planning on taking like a cool vacation for Chloe's graduation and maybe going to a place in Europe. And I was like, all right, Europe's out. And they're like, why?
Jordy
Dude, no, don't go to Europe, dude. Dude, this is going to make the Patriot act look like a little puppy.
David Rutherford
Oh, bro. What if Super Bad's right? What if that actually goes down and all of a sudden we have a terrorist. Massive terrorist threat in the country. Patriot Act 4.0. We're going to have mandatory, you know, digital bank, you know, currency, digital IDs like over in Europe. They're doing right now, Switzerland and England. Right. And it's going to be comprehensive surveillance. That's what they want. You have to realize that's what they want, right? So this guy. Listen, you know, I don't have anything personal about the people who work at these places. All right. God bless you. There's a ton of Netflix content I love to watch. In particular, this weird fascination for the psycho dramas, right? Those are funny to me. Not funny, but it's fascinating to me.
Jordy
Right?
David Rutherford
But you know, here's what I'm not about. I'm not about programming to induce trans ideology in young kids. It's not appropriate. It. Right. It's just not there. And. And that's not what we want. So Netflix, I do yourself favor change, man. Because these people are pissed. And they keep getting pissed over and over. Why? Because of all this nonsense that people in power are thrusted down people's throats. And that gets me to what now?

David Rutherford
That gets me to the old government shutdown. Heck it everything else is on fire. Let's just light the government up right now out. You know what I mean?
Jordy
So I mean, I mean what is. What's even gonna happen?
David Rutherford
You know Jordy, I want, I want you to tell me what's your theory? Why did the government shut down?
Jordy
I am not gonna give a good theory, but I just think that it's a classic thing of, it's a money grab. People want to, on the certain side, want to make some more money, want to keep their programs going to fund their lifestyles. Once they get some pushback from that, they flip it into a moral argument of like, why do you want to kill older people? And then they can't talk to people.
David Rutherford
Kill your grandma. Right? You don't kill your grandma. All right, what I believe it is and what people are saying, and I watched Hakeem Jeffries get grilled on MSNBC this week. And one of the things he said is they said, well, the, the Republican Party is saying all you guys want to do is fund illegal immigration, health care. You want to give every illegal immigrant health care. And he's like, that's an absolute lie. And to a certain degree it was true. Because the, the amendments in there, basically we're saying we want to fund the asylum seekers, all the other people that have been granted temporary status in the United States. Right. Give them free health care, something like a trillion dollars or something crazy. Right. And so what happens is, and this is the, the hidden effects. And let's just pick, let's just put one dynamic of the result in this. And this thing's been going on for, for decades now. So, Jordy, I had Jordy pull up health care rise costs for emergency medicine. And what'd we do? We did 2019. Yep.
Jordy
From 2019 to 2025, we looked up the increase in the cost of emergency room visits in several different cities around the country. And this is going to be a per, per, per patient per visit.
David Rutherford
It.
Jordy
So one person goes to the emergency room one time. This is what it costs. And what has been the increase during that six year time period? So a few of these, Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, about 1600 to $2,100. It's about a $493 increase. Boston, 2800 to $3,600. Chicago, 2200 to 2800. Minneapolis, 22 to 2800. Keeps going. Los Angeles was the biggest, 3300 to 4300. It's about a thousand dollar increase per visit.
David Rutherford
That's each person that walks in. Can you look up how many illegals used the Los Angeles emergency medicine system last year? All right, here's what you got to think about. Right, right now. I know what you're thinking. Oh, you cold hearted SOB rut. Although my audience and they're like, yeah, go Rudd, get him after them. For all you liberals that might come and check me out, you know, I'm happy to have you here. I want you here, I want you to listen. I'm willing to listen to you. But here's the deal, all right? You give access, you let all these people in, they have health care needs every day. Many of these people haven't taken a solid poo in their entire lives, right, because they don't have clean water, they don't have clean, you know, food, all this stuff. So they come in and what do they immediately do? Well, I don't have any teeth, you know, I've got all these problems. I'm going to go to the, to the ER and I'm going to get health care that way. And so every time they go in the hospital, they let them in, they service them. But what happens? How do they bill it? They send the bill to the insurance company. Insurance, like we're not paying for that. Then they sell the, send the bill where? Then they sell the, send the bill to where? They send it to your local municipality, your state and local costs. Right? And so what are the states and local municipalities? We don't have that in our budget. We don't have that there. I mean, hell, California's running a massive deficit, some 80 plus billion dollars right now. A ton of money. And LA, I think has got a pretty decent deficit as well too. So they go in, they use this health care, guess who's gonna pay for it? You are right. They go in, they get health services, you pay for it. Just like it always happens to taxpayers we get stiffed with because politicians wanna buy votes or give votes to people that eventually will have the whole thing, you know. And it's also funny that this comes out as this political ploy, cuz there are a lot of people out there screaming that this is actually an infight between AOC and Schumer. I heard myself, my coverage was all over the place yesterday that basically AOC is gonna go and primary Schumer, get him out and then she's gonna be the head of the Democrats in the Senate. Imagine the, that little old bartender. Oh, little old bartender. AOC from a wealthy family up in New England, right, is going to become the leading Democrat in the Senate. Holy cow. And this is all wild man. Donnie or whatever the dude is, is going to take over and run New York City into the ground.
Jordy
You see a communist video, like public control of These different buildings and stuff.
David Rutherford
Awesome. It's awesome, dude. I love it. I love it. We're gonna see like, here's a. There is a battle brewing. It. Because the one thing that you don't mess with in New York City, and I tell you this, one of my best friends in the whole world, Mark, is, you know, big real estate in the city, knows everybody who runs meal real estate. When you start coming after those people and their buildings, you got a war on your hands, guaranteed.
Jordy
So don't miss the money, dude.
David Rutherford
Don't mess with people's money in real estate. All right? All right. So the other thing I think, you know, you got this infighting, Everybody's trying to emerge as the front runner and. And then all of a sudden you also have what, you have these dynamic kinetic raids taking place. I just saw one two days ago on X in Chicago. They raided an entire apartment complex. They actually fast roped down on the top of the building and went from the top down doing some CAG stuff on these, like outside holding corners. The whole thing, man, that's what's taking place. So all of these people, right, their whole grift is being destroyed. And what else is being destroyed? Their voting bloc, right? Because the radical ideology of that coalition which constitutes Democratic Party has been shattered as a result of losing mail, right? Both Hispanic and African American males, black males. So they were counting on all these illegals, they're going to give them citizenship and then they become voters for at least a while until they eradicate everything, you know, all the, the back and forth, all these purple states. So that's taken place, right? And you know, their argument is like, you have no heart. These people, a government wants them here, They've given them asylum, they deserve free health care care, and they don't care what's going to happen to you. They don't care about your bank account, they don't care about what you're paying in insurance, they don't care about what you're paying in medical, they don't care about what you're paying in car insurance, right? Accidents are going through the roof, right? I saw another story about C D V, one of the driver's license for big rigs. There are thousands of these that have been given without even names on the licenses, just given away all over the country. So what happens when all those people start, start getting in wrecks all over? What happens that, right, the insurance companies for the trucking industries go through the roof. And then where does that, that transfer of cost get pound onto Your goods and services. Just like China's taxing us now, too. Oh, you're going to revenue tax us? Well, we're going to do it to you. It won't work long time for them because they're, They're. They're financial crisis themselves. But, but that's yet to be seen, right? Are the terrorists going to work? All right, so there is a government shutdown. And you know, my favorite thing was there, I think there was a bipartisan effort to put in and say, well, you know what, what should happen as everybody else loses their salary? We should absolutely stop paying the congress people to the Senate and the Congress. They should get their salaries. If, you know, little Betty job, park Betty Bo park ranger out in Wyoming and get paid. You shouldn't get paid either. And I hope that happens.
Jordy
That makes sense.
David Rutherford
Sense. Yeah, right. It's not gonna matter. It's not gonna matter anyway because, you know, they're all doing insider trading, so they're gonna get rich. All right, now here's the other point, and this is just the side note on this. As. As I'm, you know, people are getting fired up. The one thing I just want to end on this with is there was a story that was exposed that the Des Moines Independent superintendent of Schools, Ian Robertson, Robin Roberts, was discovered to be illegally in the country, who was a fugitive from not adhering to his removal order. And he had gotten this through two headhunter recruiting firms because. And he actually has no doctoral degree from Morgan State in Baltimore. So the question becomes, we have gotten to a place in this country, country where crazy people, both sides are funding things and allowing people who are completely illegal to be in charge of our children, now's the time to start ratcheting it up, man. If you're in Des Moines and you're not hammering the snot out of your local city council, your mayor, your state officials to prosecute the headhunter firms to prosecute the. The. The school board and commission to prosecute whoever side on out there. And when I mean prosecute, no one's going to jail. Strip them of their jobs. Fire them. And if you do have any, you know, strange inclination to give that town or that place a call, give them a call. We're going to have the Des Moines School board board number in our notes on this one. All right, Jordy. And I want all of you. And I know my, My, my crew isn't big, but that's all right. We're tight. We're a tribe. But I want to start getting you guys Activated a little bit. You know, I want us just start. And all we're going to do is we're just going to call, and I want you to call and call and call, right? And if you figure out, hey, Jordy, are there any apps that can just put rotate on your cell phone to just call? It picks up, it starts over here again.
Jordy
Bro, we need a bot farm.
David Rutherford
Dude, I don't want a bot farm.
Jordy
That's what we need.
David Rutherford
I want. We need real people bitching, though, bot farms. You know, we don't want that because then as soon as you do that, your entire argument's bent.
Jordy
You said you want like an auto call thing.
David Rutherford
No, no, no. Just sit there like you're eating your cheese curds, right? And you're. You're drinking, you know, your. Your light beer and just, you know, for 10 minutes a day. Just give me 10. Actually, give me 20 minutes your time a day. You know, you can still have your. Your, you know, Netflix psychodrama stuff going on over to the side, but just give me 20 minutes. Call the Des Moines superintendent and the school board, just 20 minutes a day for the next three days and tell them you want the heads to roll, right? Just do that for me while you're.
Jordy
Watching the Netflix trans cartoons. Just dial the numbers.
David Rutherford
Don't do that, don't do that, don't watch that. And then if you want just like in your Netflix, say, pull it down now or I'm leaving. Give them the ul made them, you know, they're like, rud, are you canceling your Net? If I canceled Netflix in my house, right, I would be eviscerated. What I do with my children is. I see something. I said, hey, by the way, this is what's available. This is what's out there. You have a choice not to watch it, not support it. But you have to know this is what's out there. And this is what people are trying to get you to watch. This is what people are trying to get you to believe. And so we reinforce our value system, our faith and the whole thing. So that's way. All right. Government shutdown. Dude, what that. That week on fire, bro. Wouldn't you say?
Jordy
Dude, closed for business. It's just weird now I feel like every week is a crazy week. And it just doesn't stop like before. You know, you'd have, you know, five years ago, six years ago. Well, maybe more than that. Now 10 years ago, you'd have like, man, do you remember that one week in 2014 that was just crazy. You know, now it's like every week is just on fire. It's just.
David Rutherford
I think it just happens throughout history and society. But here's the deal, you know, this is what I believe and I want you to do. I want you to listen to this, and I'm going to do a show. I'm working on one right now called the Hierarchy of Suffering. And we're going to talk about this. It's going to be a good one, dude. You're going to love it. And, you know, at the top is the.
Jordy
The military officers doing PT tests.
David Rutherford
That's right, that's right, that's right. That's awesome. That's awesome. All right, here's the deal. You have the decision of whether or not you can see all this madness, right, and get freaked out and whatever. I was just with some friends on. I was up speaking up in Michigan the last couple days and was staying with some really close friends. And one of my friends was just like, hey, man, you know, are the city safe after, you know, watching the Superbads thing? And I. And I said, yeah, they are. Because most of these cities, guess what, they're surgeon. They have a high federal presence. Presence. And. And they're doing. And. And I know the counterterrorism unit is. Is full force. I trust Joe Kent. So they're going after this. They're sitting. They're not sitting on their laurels. They're not blowing it off. They're out there doing it, right? You just gotta. You gotta have some faith. You can also keep your head on swivel, have good essay. But. But I believe that they're doing a good job, right? I believe that Joe. I trust Joe Ken, I trust Tulsi Gabbard, that they're gonna go out there and they're gonna get it done so he don't get caught up. Look at all that stuff. And then look at your beautiful children. Look at all that stuff. And then hang out with your friends. Look at all that stuff. And break bread with the people you love most. Don't let it get to you, right? Because inside of you is. Is the strength that you need to combat that tsunami of information, to make sense of it, deal with it, compartmentalize it, and then go back about your life, which is awesome, by the way. We still live in the best damn country on the planet. By far. By far. And I'm telling you, I travel the country every year, all the way, all four corners, all over the place. I talk to thousands of people. And the reality is, our country is Badass. And you gotta believe that. But what it requires requires a little 20 minute dial to tune people up every now and then, to participate with all the other things that try to do and clean this corruption up, clean all the nasty up, clean it going up. If we're going to have a fighting shot, man, you got to lean into your face, stand up for what you believe in and make a difference. All right?
Jordy
Yeah, man. Hey, when you listen to this episode for the listeners out there, have a little recommendation. When you listen to a week in review, you learn all the things that's going on that week. You feel a little freaked out, go back, listen to bookmark, download, save our last episode with Eddie Gallagher and he will get your head back on straight handling how, how to handle all the craziness, to be aware, to be prepared. It's all good. But also to chill out, spend time with your family, be a dad, be a mom. You know, just live still.
David Rutherford
I love that dude so much. There's reset every day, right? So we ought to just. We remember when, you know, we, we made T shirts. The wizard made a T shirt for them and it was a free Eddie T shirt. Now we gotta make one that says listen to Eddie, right? And with his big old beard and his knee brace and all that. I love, I love you, Eddie. You're the man, dude. Keep listening. All right, before we wrap this up again, give us a, like a share, a follow. Share it mostly. That's what we want, you know, and then start watching on X and YouTube and share that around too, man. We're really growing. We're. We're starting to pop a little bit more. We're covering some great topics. You know, we're really happy to be under Buck and Clay under their podcast Cats network and on the Premier Network with iHeartMedia. We really thankful for them, everything they've done. Also, we got this cool thing I never really promoted. It's our, our the David Rutherford show T shirt that we made. Yeah. And on it it's, it's got the flashbang of truth and it's got like this old army instructional diagram of a dude pulling the pin on a flashbang, throwing it out, out, and it says bang. Btv El. No delay. The Doctor show where you can follow us on the b. On the. And then on the front pocket, you've got the flashbang right there. It's awesome. All you got to do is go to David Rutherford dot com. You can go to the store. We've got that, a couple of T shirts, hats books of mine for sale or kids book, adult book. You can pre order my fiction book called the Poet Warrior that's coming out soon and then also obviously go to our courses and sign up and take one of the three awesome courses. Embrace Fear or forging self confidence or live the team life in order to help you get fired up, get motivated, get that flashbang in your hair to go after that negative insurgency. Get that little motivation in order to tackle the tsunami of madness out there. All right. Thank you Jordy. Love you brother. Thanks to my wife, my children and Jesus Christ above all. L God bless you. Love you. Ooh yah. Come on.

Release Date: October 3, 2025
Hosts: David Rutherford (subbing in the Clay & Buck network), recurring guest Jordy
This episode, delivered with Rutherford's characteristic energy and military flair, dives into the major news stories of the week, spotlighting issues in the military’s leadership and standards, breaking developments in government corruption, Elon Musk’s intervention over Netflix’s programming, and the unfolding government shutdown. The hosts combine humor, critique, and personal anecdotes to analyze the week's chaos and share calls to action for listeners.
Rutherford opens fired up about former Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “lighting a fire” under out-of-shape and allegedly complacent military leaders.
Emphasis on military standards, fitness, and restoring tradition, with scathing critique for "bloated" defense bureaucracy.
“Right from this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: war fighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win. Unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit… Our number one job, of course, is to be strong so that we can prevent war in the first place.”
— Pete Hegseth
Rutherford lampoons “fat generals” and laments degraded standards:
“We have more flag officers now than we did during World War II. And what does that tell you? That the bureaucracy at DoD has been overwhelmed by these people just sitting around, camping out, making money, writing books and prepping to have… insane opportunities.” — David Rutherford
Critique of “DEI” and “trans nut nonsense” in the armed forces, with anecdotes about old-school military rigor (08:31+).
Hegseth calls for fitness and military bearing up and down the ranks:
“It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the Secretary of War can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops... fat generals and admirals in the Pentagon… You need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.”
— Pete Hegseth
Rutherford: stricter standards mean weeding out the unfit at all levels (“all you fat asses, your games are up.”)
[12:24–16:00] Banter about how a PT test would “clear out” incompetent leadership; military culture past and present.
Discussion on O’Keefe’s “honeypot” journalism methods (22:16–25:40):
Further revelations:
“It’s not talked about yet, but it’s soon come out that he was a CIA... There’s never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids... but that can’t be said for Clinton.” — DOJ’s Glenn Prager (secretly recorded)
DOJ's official response (29:59): dismissed former staffer’s credibility, following classic PR denial playbook ("admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations").
Rutherford lauds O'Keefe's citizen journalism for “exposing corruption at the highest level” and catalogues past bombshells—campaign finance in Act Blue, BlackRock bribery, and pharma whistleblower stories.
Segment opens on Elon Musk’s role in catalyzing a stock plunge at Netflix after controversy over children’s programming perceived as pushing transgender ideology.
“Boom. Sweet Jesus, fell off a cliff.” — David Rutherford (on Netflix stock dip)
Rutherford speculates the “war” is broader, involving power moves among media titans—Larry Ellison (Oracle, Paramount+, TikTok bid) versus Elon Musk (X/Twitter).
Ellison’s vision for a surveillance future: bodycams and AI monitoring for everyone.
“Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.” — Larry Ellison
Strong reaction against normalized surveillance and digital IDs, drawing parallels to expansion of the Patriot Act and European-style mandatory biometrics.
“If you got nothing, why can’t there be oversight? Why can’t they shove a rectal cat camera up my butt all the time? ... Are you kidding me?” — David Rutherford
