The Supreme Court blocks Trump’s tariffs — and within hours he fires back. Meanwhile, the largest U.S. military buildup since Iraq is unfolding near Iran. Is a strike coming?

At the same time, cartel violence explodes in Guadalajara after a major leader is taken out in an operation reportedly supported by U.S. intelligence. What does this mean for the border — and for Americans?

And in the middle of global tension, Team USA delivers one of the greatest Winter Olympic performances in history.

Dusty May just won a national championship at Michigan. Curt Cignetti went undefeated at Indiana. Cale Sanderson is on his 13th title at Penn State wrestling. What do they all have in common? They're true coaches — and David Rutherford breaks down exactly what that means. David is a former Navy SEAL, CIA-trained operator, and performance coach who's worked with the Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, Boston Red Sox (2018 World Series), Penn State, Oregon State, Nebraska, and a dozen other D1 and professional programs. He's also a former Penn State lacrosse player and a father whose daughter just committed to play college soccer. Today he lays out what separates a true coach from the rest — including the coaching philosophy most coaches don't even have, how the best recruiters evaluate the X-factor beyond talent, why fear and self-confidence are the two fundamentals that drive performance, and the leadership development system that championship programs build from day one. He also digs into the NIL era, the transfer portal, and what it all means for the kids caught in the middle of a system that's rapidly changing.

David Rutherford Show: The True Coach - What Dusty May Knows That Most Coaches Don't 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/1c7eb578-8043-4acd-b117-b42d0003d024/transcript

A 22-year active duty Marine officer. Four combat deployments to Iraq. A wife who couldn't open a laundromat because the state made it impossible. Now Chris Burnett is running for Congress in one of the toughest districts in the country — Maryland's 6th — against two opponents worth hundreds of millions of dollars. David Rutherford sits down with Burnett to break down what's actually happening in Maryland: a $1.5 billion state deficit, 25,000 federal jobs lost to DOGE, an economy built entirely on government dependency, and a regulatory environment that kills small business before it starts. Burnett lays out his "innovation corridor" plan — aligning federal highway funds with data center development, small modular nuclear reactors, AI and quantum research, and advanced manufacturing along the I-270 to I-68 corridor. They also go deep on Iran. Burnett spent his career watching Iranian proxies operate across the Middle East. His take: this military action is 47 years overdue, no boots on the ground, degrade the IRGC, open the Strait of Hormuz, and let the Iranian people determine their own future.

David covers four stories every operator and security-minded American needs to understand right now: 🔹 The Iran CSAR Mission — how 155 aircraft, hundreds of SOF operators, and a CIA deception campaign pulled off one of the biggest pilot rescues since Vietnam. David breaks down the escape and evasion tactics, the parallels to Operation Eagle Claw, and what the equipment losses mean. 🔹 Ben Roberts-Smith War Crimes — Australia's most decorated living soldier arrested for five counts of war crime murder in Afghanistan. David gives his honest assessment as a former operator, the Eddie Gallagher parallels, and why the battlefield is not a courtroom. 🔹 The Spear Operations Group — Navy SEALs and Green Berets ran a secret assassination team out of a $7M mansion in San Diego, paid $1.5M/month by the UAE. David reacts to the kill list, the Delta Force recruiter, and why every operator has had "the mercenary conversation." 🔹 Israeli Consulate Attack in Turkey — three gunmen opened fire on the Israeli consulate in Istanbul this morning. David connects it to the rising threat paradigm and what it signals for Europe and the West.
