The David Rutherford Show

Former prosecutor and whistleblower David Clements tears the lid off the 2020 election, exposing vote manipulation, machine fraud, foreign interference, a captured judiciary, bioweapon-level COVID lies, and why he believes only military tribunals and continuity-of-government mechanisms can address the corruption consuming America. This is the full, uncensored conversation YouTube won’t touch — a raw, explosive breakdown of how the system was hijacked, who’s pulling the strings, and why a national reckoning is coming.

📍With Ukrainian peace talks collapsing, EU leaders openly preparing for conflict, and NATO escalating its rhetoric, the path toward a hot war with Russia is becoming increasingly undeniable. David walks through the numbers, the agendas, and the delusions driving Europe toward a catastrophic confrontation — including the EU’s plan to seize Russian assets, NATO’s military buildup, and why Russia’s alliances with China and India change everything. We also cover breaking U.S. news:• The FBI finally arrests the alleged January 6th pipe bomber, after nearly five years.• The internal shake-up that solved the case — and what it reveals about the Bureau.• Stephen Miller’s warning that America desperately needs more lawyers for immigration and national security cases.• Michael Burry’s chilling market message: “The market no longer thinks.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

📍Venezuelan boat strikes have recently divided America. What actually gives the United States government the legal right to k!ll? Today, Navy SEAL David Rutherford breaks down the hidden architecture of America’s k!ll authority — from the 2001 AUMF to Article II powers, War Powers loopholes, drone programs, special operations raids, and how both political parties have expanded these powers for over 20 years. This episode explains what is legal, what isn’t, and why no president has ever been held accountable for violating the War Powers Resolution. But most of all, Rut asks us to all deeply consider the morality of it all.  Next Steps: 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 📕 Get David's novel, The Poet Warrior: https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/the-poet-warrior 📰 Sign up for David's weekly newsletter for free coaching tips, updates, and more: https://davidrutherfordletter.substack.com/   Timestamps:  00:00 - What gives you the right to k!ll? 10:26 - Breaking Down U.S. Laws Around AUMF’s 33:38 - Attempts To Repeal AUMF’s 46:29 - What Is Illegal For The U.S. To Do? 54:32 - Rut On The Morality of AUMF’s    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

📍Rut breaks down three of the most explosive stories in America right now: 🇺🇦 The new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine — and why it could end the war immediately.⚠️ An Afghan refugee murders a National Guardsman in D.C. — and the growing danger inside U.S. borders.🗳️ Election corruption & electronic voting manipulation — evidence resurfacing from intelligence veterans who claim the 2020 election was compromised. Rut lays out the stakes clearly: if America loses election integrity, national sovereignty collapses. If peace talks break, nuclear escalation becomes possible. If immigration remains unvetted, violence rises at home. This isn’t fear. It’s reality — and ignoring it won’t make it go away.

David “Rut” Rutherford takes you inside the deepest chambers of human suffering — personal loss, combat trauma, addiction, divorce, the death of friends, and the quiet agony that lives in every home.
