Jimmy Graham and David Rutherford went through Hell Week together in Class 208. Their paths split into different SEAL teams, different deployments, different wars — and converged again through the CIA's Global Response Staff. Today, Jimmy breaks down what actually happened inside Blackwater before the Fallujah ambush, what the Benghazi movie got wrong, why he punched a teammate on a memorial motorcycle ride, and how losing his closest brother led him to build Able Shepherd — one of the most respected tactical protection training programs in the country. 

Jimmy Graham is a veteran U.S. Navy SEAL (15+ years, Chief Petty Officer), former CIA GRS protective officer, and founder/CEO of Able Shepherd Emergency Readiness Training in Denver, Colorado. He is also the author of "The Return of Man" and founder of Abel Nation, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to protecting churches, schools, and communities.

David Rutherford Show: The Return of Man: A Navy SEAL on What Masculinity Actually Means

On this Memorial Day, former Navy SEAL and CIA officer David Rutherford does what his family does every year: he reads the names. Then he walks through the full cost of American warfare — from the 25,000 dead in the Revolutionary War to the 150,000 veterans who have taken their own lives since 9/11 — and makes the case that sacrifice is the single idea that holds civilization together. This isn't a generic tribute. This is a man who has been part of what he calls "the culture of death" since he was 23 years old, asking you to take 60 seconds and contemplate what it cost for you to have what you have.

David Rutherford Show: A Navy SEAL's Memorial Day Message - Remembering The Sacrifice

68 cents of every dollar in your wallet were printed in the last 18 years. The other 32 cents took 200 years to create. That's what the Federal Reserve actually did to your money. 

Brian Wesbury is the Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors, former Chief Economist for the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress, and ranked the #1 economic forecaster in America by The Wall Street Journal. He's been warning about this for decades. 

David and Brian break down how quantitative easing tripled the money supply, why that created the biggest generational wealth gap in American history (boomers won, Gen Z got crushed), how Jerome Powell's Fed enabled a government spending addiction at artificially cheap rates — and what the new Fed chair Kevin Warsh inherits now that the bill is coming due. 

They also dig into the Iran conflict's impact on oil and inflation, why two-thirds of Americans under 30 now believe socialism is a better system, and what Brian would tell every young person about building wealth in this economy.

David Rutherford Show: #1 Economist Warns - The Fed Turned 66% of Gen Z Socialist

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/b1893100-4025-4c23-8525-b44f0156dd33/transcript

Look, I'm seeing it everywhere — people calling for raising militias, starting a new revolution, fighting back. And I get it. The frustration is real. But as a former Navy SEAL and CIA officer who's actually been in rooms where these operations get planned, I've got some bad news for your militia fantasy. 

What you'll hear: 
— David reads from the Declaration of Independence and highlights the line nobody ever quotes the one where the founders tell you NOT to do this lightly. 
— The full American rebellion scorecard: 1 win, 7 losses, from Shays' Rebellion to Wounded Knee and why the pattern hasn't changed. 
— The government's legal toolkit to destroy you: the Patriot Act, FISA 702, RICO, asset forfeiture, and why your Signal chat isn't as private as you think. 
— Five things that actually work to push back legally and constitutionally including one David learned from the Amish. 
— Why getting your own house in order is the most important thing you can do before trying to change the country.
