📍Rut and Bryce Gill to break down America’s $38 trillion debt crisis, the AI bubble, gold hitting $4,000, and what the next 10 years could look like for the U.S. dollar, markets, and young Americans.

Bryce explains who really benefits from America’s $1 trillion interest payments, why baby boomers now control the majority of spending, and why housing is unaffordable for the next generation. We dive into tariffs, the rise of gold and Bitcoin, and whether AI will save—or destroy—the U.S. economy.

The “No Kings” rally swept across America — 7 million people in the streets, 2,700 events, all pushing one message: no more kings, no more Trump, no more Constitution. But what’s really behind it?

In this episode of The David Rutherford Show, Rut breaks down the truth behind the protests — the organizers, the money, the ideology, and the dangerous calls for revolt, abolition of the Supreme Court, and nationwide uprising.

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.

He explores the concept of a “Hierarchy of Suffering” — how we rank pain, compare trauma, and how faith, brotherhood, and purpose can reshape that hierarchy and keep us moving forward.

From combat veterans and custody battles to Christ on the cross and Nietzsche’s philosophy, Rut asks the haunting question:

👉 How do we carry the weight without collapsing beneath it?

This episode is not about despair — it’s about shared pain, empathy, resilience, faith, and continuing the mission.
