🎄In this special Christmas episode of The David Rutherford Show, Rut explores the true meaning of Christmas — the birth of Christ, the origin of faith, and why sacrifice is the foundation of meaning, courage, and civilization. From ancient tribal survival to biblical prophecy and modern chaos, Rut explains how faith shapes strong men, strong families, and free societies. This is not religion as an accessory — this is faith as a living force that governs who you become.
Watch now and plant the right seeds in your soul.

 Why does Syria matter far beyond the Middle East — and what does it reveal about how modern global conflicts actually begin? In this episode of The David Rutherford Show, David sits down with Middle East analyst Kevork Almassian,  @SyrianaAnalysis  Syrian-born political commentator who lived through the war, lost family to jihadist violence, and was forced into exile. Kevork breaks down how Syria became a testing ground for proxy warfare, covert operations, sanctions, and information control — and why these tactics are now shaping conflicts around the world. This conversation goes beyond headlines and media narratives to examine how global powers really compete today, why Syria was never just a civil war, and what lessons governments have already learned from its collapse. If you want to understand how modern conflicts start — quietly, indirectly, and at enormous human cost — this episode is essential.

📍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.”

📍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.

📍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.
