David Rutherford Show: Starting A Militia? Navy SEAL Explains Why You Will Lose

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

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.
