Jason Collinsworth — host of the I Hate Soccer podcast and 11-year youth soccer trainer — joins David to break down what's actually happening inside the multi-billion-dollar youth sports machine. You'll learn why 17 coaches in eight years can produce zero real development, why the leagues your kid is fighting to join are run as gatekeeping cartels, and why most coaches at the youth level can't even articulate a coaching philosophy when asked. David explains why what Jason is describing isn't a soccer problem — it's the same failure pattern you see when any system replaces meticulous individual development with marketing, recruiting, and pay-to-play optics. We break down two-footed training as a confidence-building doctrine, why parents become the threat instead of the support, and what to look for in a coach who's actually going to develop your kid versus one who's going to use them. Jason Collinsworth has spent over a decade running his own training company and is one of the most-watched independent voices in U.S. youth soccer.

David Rutherford Show: The Lie Travel Sports Is Telling Your Kid | Jason Collinsworth

Navy SEAL Dusty Turner spent 31 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The man who actually committed it confessed in 2008. Dusty stayed locked up another 17 years anyway. He was finally released on March 5, 2026 — and 24 hours after sitting down for this interview, his parole officer had him arrested again on a vague "significant relationship" clause that a federal appeals court already ruled unconstitutionally vague. David Rutherford opens this episode with what happened after the cameras stopped, then hands off to a conversation Dusty has not been able to have until now: a fellow Navy SEAL asking him about the night his life ended, the swim buddy who killed Jennifer Evans, the JAG officer who told him to talk, and the 31 years that followed. Dusty Turner is a former Navy SEAL (Class 196, Team 4) who became the first person in Virginia history to be granted a Writ of Actual Innocence on non-biological evidence — a ruling the Attorney General appealed and overturned. He has been incarcerated since November 1995.

On April 18, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order that opened the federal door to psychedelic therapy for American veterans — and the man who's been fighting for that breach for seven years sits down with David today.

Tommy Aceto is a former Navy SEAL medic of 16 years who lost his trident, his marriage, and access to his children in the same window — and rebuilt his life through ibogaine therapy. In this episode, you'll learn how one dose can erase opioid withdrawal in hours, why the vagus nerve is the missing link in PTSD treatment, and how Tommy, Marcus Capone, Morgan and Marcus Luttrell, Shawn Ryan, and Bobby Kennedy Jr. quietly built the coalition that just changed federal policy.

David and Tommy break down the legislative fight in Tennessee and Kentucky, why Big Pharma is racing to shut this down, and what every veteran, first responder, and family member needs to do right now to push their state to act.

Tommy Aceto is a former Navy SEAL medic, founder of Hope Project, and one of the lead advocates behind the America for Ibogaine coalition.
