Republican strategist Albert Eisenberg of Redbridge joins David for an honest, two-sided breakdown of the GOP's self-inflicted problem heading into 2026. You'll hear Albert explain how Republicans won Hispanic, younger Black, and under-$50K voters for the first time in their lifetimes — and why the party "lost its appetite" for delivering the moment the election was over. David and Albert also dig into where they genuinely disagree on Iran, and agree on the bigger danger: a party that stopped talking to everyday Americans and started talking only to itself. No talking points, no consensus theater — just two guys working through what it'll actually take to not throw this away.

David Rutherford Show: Republicans Will Lose the Midterms — Unless They Fix This

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/d475057d-3426-461d-aafd-b46300ca6686/transcript

Spencer Pratt was winning the LA mayor's race on election night — then the mail-in ballots came in, and the count flipped to two socialists.

David Rutherford — former Navy SEAL and CIA-trained intelligence officer — breaks down the LA mayor's race vote-by-vote: how Pratt's election-night lead collapsed as 80%+ mail-in ballots rolled in over the following week, handing the November runoff to incumbent Karen Bass and city councilmember Nathalia Raman. You'll learn how California's consolidated primary works, why no-ID mail-in balloting makes these races nearly impossible to lose, and how the stalled SAVE Act fits the bigger picture. David connects it to Thomas Massie's Kentucky primary, the filibuster math killing voter-ID reform, and his core argument: corrupted elections — not an EMP or economic collapse — are the real threat to the Republic.

This is a domestic-stakes briefing for anyone who's stopped trusting the count.

Venture investor Michael Thompson sits down with Navy SEAL and intelligence veteran David Rutherford for a forward-looking briefing on the technologies that will define the next decade: electric flying aircraft, small nuclear reactors, autonomous trucking, and the AI build-out underneath all of it. Thompson — an early backer of Joby Aviation and Oklo — breaks down why "the AI trap" is going to hit middle-management and administrative jobs first, why energy is the real linchpin of American power, and why he believes we're living through a once-in-a-century industrial leap he calls the "1870 thesis." David pulls it back to the only question that matters: what does this mean for your family, your work, and the country's edge over China?

Most people never touch the top of what they're capable of — and it has nothing to do with talent. Navy SEAL David Rutherford breaks down the framework he's spent 30 years building: the four max states every human operates in — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual — and the one variable that governs all of them. You'll learn how he evaluates elite athletes in real time, why your fundamentals collapse under stress before anything else does, and why he believes there's a readily accessible 40% more in nearly everyone. Then he lands the kicker: every bit of it is divided by how you perceive pain. David Rutherford is a former Navy SEAL, SEAL/CIA instructor, and championship performance coach who's worked with D1 programs and pro athletes, including a 2018 World Series team.
