1:44Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk.
1:46It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls.
1:49That is why they eat just food for dogs.
1:52It's real, 100 % human -grade food with ingredients I actually recognize.
1:56Not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy.
1:58And once I switched, the difference was obvious.
2:01Better digestion, better skin, more energy.
2:04Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner.
2:08Here's the thing. You care about quality.
2:10You make an intentional choice to be healthy.

3:27Traditional crime rates are on a historic low.
3:30However, political and extremist violence is popping off.
3:36Today on The David Rutherford Show, I examine what I believe to be a new
3:41threat paradigm. What that means is there's a shift in consciousness so how you should
3:46be looking at your vulnerabilities and how to attack those in a more positive way
3:52based on everything that's going on around the world.
3:56Booyah. Booyah. Welcome back, everybody.
4:08In the last few weeks, we have seen absolutely two crazy things taking place at
4:17once. First off, record crime is at an all -time low.
4:24That's violent crime, that's homicides, and I'll get into those statistics in a minute.
4:28But on the flip side of that, what we've also seen is these crazy incidents
4:33that have been taking place pretty regularly in the last several months, and including you
4:40can integrate last year as well too, right?
4:43We saw the guy from Senegal open fire at a bar in Austin, killing two.
4:50We saw a convicted ISIS supporter shot up a university classroom at Old Dominion until
4:59ROTC students attacked the guy and one stabbed him to death and killed him.
5:04We need to give that dude a bronze star with valor.
5:08We saw a man drive a truck packed with improvised explosives, a ton of fireworks
5:14and stuff, drive into a synagogue in Michigan while there were 140 kids inside.
5:21Now, luckily, the appropriate response happened, and looks at it.
5:25local guards took care of the threat immediately.
5:27We saw two men from Pennsylvania, like a middle class Pennsylvania neighborhood.
5:33They were of Afghan descendants, brought homemade bombs to a protest in New York City
5:41and tried to detonate these in the crowd.
5:45And that's 12 days, essentially four attacks.
5:49And the government also has been telling you that radicals and Islamists and cartels and
6:00all this have become a heightened threat across the domestic landscape.
6:07Now, what I'm going to try and do is help you decipher this on a
6:11geopolitical level, a global level, a domestic level.
6:15And then finally, what I think you might be able to do as a result
6:19of these emerging threats. All right.
6:23Now, you got to understand for the better part of 15 years of my life,
6:29my job within special operations and the SEAL teams working for Blackwater and then working
6:36at the Central Intelligence Agency, my job was essentially to understand intelligence, to understand areas
6:46of operation, to understand the cultural aspects of those we were fighting against, to understand
6:53the ideological impact of those we were fighting and why.
6:57And then also to understand how those threats would immediately affect the operations that I
7:05was engaged in at the different in the different places I was operating in.
7:09So I have a little bit of background in this.
7:12I also have been paying close attention over the last five years or so to
7:19domestic issues, fate that have to do with crime, violence and radical ideologies that seem
7:27to be engaging in more political violence or or or or more international crime syndicates
7:36in the violence in the types of crime organizations and what they're doing domestically as
7:41well, too. Now, I began to recognize, obviously, I started pre 9 -11 was in
7:50the teams post 9 -11 is where things really started to kind of shift, I
7:55think, including over the last decade or so really around 2020.
8:00Well, I believe after the George Floyd protests, right, you had basically this emergent illogical
8:14reality take place that that cops are bad, that cops are the reason for people
8:21being unnecessarily killed or convicted or violently attacked.
8:26We saw people on the street during the BLM protests and the George Floyd protests.
8:31And they would ask how many, you know, unarmed black men were killed by police
8:36officers, law enforcement last year.
8:38And people would say stuff like 5000, 10 ,000, when the truth number was, you
8:44know, between, you know, in the low 20s.
8:47And that's it. And this is with several million police contacts every year in multifaceted
8:55ways. In fact, way more people are dying from self -inflicted gunshot wounds.
9:01I mean, you know, exponentially greater than unarmed people against police officers.
9:07There were more white, unarmed white people that were killed by white cops than there
9:10were black people. So we can see how when information is manipulated in some capacity,
9:17we can be driven into a state of, of, I don't know, where we believe
9:25the propaganda. We saw that post 9 -11 as well too, right?
9:29We saw attacks taking place in London, attacks taking place around the world.
9:33And that, that shot into this really dramatic Islamophobia that believe that every single person
9:41that was of Muslim descent was out there to blow us up or try and
9:47kill us. And we saw that with the post -George Floyd riots as well too.
9:53Now, where I really started to notice a dramatic shift, right?
9:58Because there was definitely a fall off, you know, 2017, 18, once the civil war
10:06in Syria kind of quieted down and, and then it kind of petered out.
10:11Well, you know, during that time, really starting in 2020, we had this massive wave
10:17of immigration come into the United States and into also Europe as well too.
10:23And these people were from where pretty much all the areas that we had been
10:28engaging in either covert operations around the world or overt operations, SOCOM operations, special operations,
10:37you know, in all these different war -torn countries.
10:41We had this massive refugee crisis.
10:44We had a lot of support from international aid organizations that were flowing in.
10:49And then we saw domestically within the Americas.
10:52We saw a ton of criminal organizations flood into America as well, too.
11:02Somewhere, some estimates it's, you know, 10 million, high estimates it's 30 million people came
11:07in from 2020 to 2024 or 25 when Trump essentially shut down the border.
11:15Now, here's some of the interesting statistics about regular crime that I think you need
11:24to know, right? As I said before, it's at an all -time low.
11:27Now, you know, we're going to know definitively how impactful when the FBI releases its
11:33crime data at the end of the year.
11:35But what we have seen so far is that the homicide rate has dropped to
11:42four people per 100 ,000.
11:44And this is the lowest ever recorded in law enforcement history.
11:49And this is public health data dating back to 1900, right?
11:53It's the single biggest drop in a homicide rate in the American history, right?
11:58In 40 major U .S.
12:00cities studied by the Council on Criminal Justice, homicides dropped 21 percent from 24 to
12:0825. And 922 people, fewer people were killed over that time frame.
12:15Robberies were down 23 percent.
12:17Carjackings down 43 percent. Gun assaults down 22 percent, right?
12:22New York City recorded the fewest shooting victims and shooting incidents in its history in
12:292025. Now, what do you think?
12:32Is it an anomaly? Is it bizarre?
12:35Is this some kind of bizarre paradox taking place?
12:39Well, Major City, the Chiefs Association representing 67 law enforcement agencies confirmed homicides were down
12:47collectively across nation by 19 percent.
12:51In fact, Adam Gelb, who is the president of the Council of Criminal Justice, said
12:57it's not just a drop.
12:58It's a historic collapse in the homicide rate.
13:02Now, why is that taking place?
13:04Well, some people believe, well, Trump gets an office.
13:08There's a resurgence in support for law enforcement, more dollars, more benefits, greater support from
13:15Homeland Security, from as well as FBI support, local agencies kind of having their own
13:25that that self -government governance taking off, saying, well, if I go after a criminal,
13:31I'm not going to be indicted for a wrongful death, I'm not going to be
13:35indicted for a wrongful death, a wrongful shoot, you know, a civil trial that's going
13:37to bury me financially. And so people are out there doing their jobs.
13:42You can also attribute this to the border getting shut down, right?
13:47You know, the real awareness in that, I think, is the massive drop in fentanyl
13:52overdoses that took place last year from the board.
13:55You know, because we went year after year for about four years, three or four
13:59years straight, that 100 ,000 people in America were dying from fentanyl overdoses.
14:06Now, that directly correlates to what cartel organizations and their ability to bring fentanyl into
14:12the country as well as human trafficking, that type of thing.
14:15So, you know, you shut that down, of course, all this stuff drops, as well
14:21as there was a massive threat.
14:23We saw it on the streets in Minnesota.
14:25We saw it in Los Angeles, where ICE was going out and arresting violent criminals.
14:31And the FBI has some pretty amazing data on just how many people.
14:36Jordy, would you bring that up for me?
14:37We'll bring up Kash Patel's recent statements about how many violent criminals' weapons have been
14:46taken off the streets in the last year, if you could.
14:49All right. Now, here's the flip side of that, which is kind of this other
14:56threat that's emerging, the paradigm shift and where violence is coming from.
15:03So here's some statistics. In the first six months of 2025, there were 520 -plus
15:10incidents of terrorism and targeted violence in the United States, a 40 % increase over
15:17that same period in 2025.
15:1996 deaths, 329 injuries, incidents recorded in 48 out of 50 states, all right?
15:27Now, there's a separate data sheet that's tracking terrorism specifically, and here you go.
15:33So there were 154 terror plots and attacks in the first six months, right?
15:39That's an 85 % increase in terrorism incidents, with a 343 % increase in deaths
15:47and a 789 % increase in injuries from those attacks, right?
15:53Hell, we've seen the U .S.
15:57Capitol Police investigate over 14 ,000 threats against lawmakers in 2025, up from 9 ,000
16:06in 2024. There's been threats and active assassination attempts against federal judges.
16:12Those are up. Threats against local law and for local officials.
16:15A documented spike of a 9 % increase in the first half.
16:20Threats against local officials. Threats against local officials.
16:20Threats against local officials. So why is this shift taking place from traditional crime to
16:27more a radicalized ideological type of violence?
16:33Now, my personal beliefs and opinions, and that's why you follow me on this show.
16:37And again, there's a lot of other people out there that will give you different
16:42ideas. But I believe it's really responsible for essentially two main things.
16:49First and foremost, it's the massive wave of immigration, and that's unvetted personnel from countries,
16:57states, organizations that we have let into the country that were unvetted.
17:03The other side of that is our new geopolitical strategy that has emerged beginning last
17:11summer with the strikes against Iran.
17:14And I go back to those first acts we've seen in the last few weeks
17:21of lone ideological nutbags trying to kill people, whether it's targeting Jews, whether it's targeting
17:29Christians, whether it's targeting random people.
17:32There seems to be this massive uptake.

21:22I'm looking for the experts, so to speak.
21:25The people that have a pulse on real -time data, or I should say real
21:30-time information, that's collected information from the streets, from the signal analysis, right, of monitoring
21:40people and their communications online, covertly monitoring their electronic communications, right?
21:47I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for
21:47the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so
21:47I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for
21:47the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so
21:47I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for

21:47the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so
21:47I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for the experts, so I'm looking for
21:48the It's setting up people to be assets inside these organizations and to report back
21:54on what's going on. Now, I think one of the biggest testimonies that I paid
22:00attention to recently was on December 11th when Joe Kent, the former National Counterterrorism Director
22:10of the National Counterterrorism Center, testified before the House Committee on Homeland Security.
22:16Now, some of the key points he brought up, and I want to quote him
22:20here. He said, one, quote, despite the progress we made so far in the Trump
22:25administration, the threat posed by terrorists of all brands remains very high right now.
22:31All right. Now, he's also referring to other warnings he gave us where he said,
22:38quote, quote, we just recently put out a warning of heightened risk of terrorist attacks
22:42posed to the homeland by terrorists pretty much of all stripes, but in particular ISIS
22:49and Al Qaeda. Right. And that's what kind of one of these core threats internal.
22:54Hell, we had the press secretary essentially or someone came out and said there was
23:02a threat of a possible drone hit out in California to which the press secretary
23:07meanly came out and said, no, no, no, no.
23:09That's not true. Right. And I remember I got bombarded at this point saying, is
23:14it possible for us to get hit by drones?
23:16And I said, do you have any idea how many numbers of foreign munitions, operators,
23:23terrorists are in Mexico or have come through Mexico and have paid Mexican cartels that
23:29don't have any allegiance to anything other than money to come in the United States?
23:35Right. There's even Sean Ryan reported that there had someone on his show that talked
23:39about shoulder fired missile systems that were meant for Ukraine or or over in Ukraine
23:46that had made their way over to Mexico and potentially made their their way in
23:52the United States. Now, here is some numbers.
23:55And this is what I found.
23:56One of the really interesting things by Mr.
24:00Kent, quote, so far, NCTC has identified around 18 ,000 on a zero zero zero
24:0918 ,000 known and suspected terrorists that the Biden administration let come in the country.
24:17These are individuals who under normal circumstances would never be allowed to enter the country
24:22because of their ties to jihadist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda.
24:26Yet the Biden administration not only let them in the country, in many cases, facilitated
24:31their entry into the country.
24:34Right. He went on to talk about other people that potentially had come in.
24:43One of the interesting, he said, we've identified 2000 of that group of of 18
24:49who have direct ties to terrorist organizations.
24:52All right. This this this stuff is pretty remarkable.
24:55Right. This is just a couple of months ago.
24:58And then he said this.
25:00And then we invaded Iran or didn't invade, but we we began strategic strategic airstrikes
25:06in this campaign. I don't think they're quite calling it a war yet.
25:10It's a more of a focused strategic initiative with our partners in Israel.
25:18Now, you know, one of the thing is, obviously, you know, if you if you
25:23pay attention to Sarah Adams and we had her on the show, I thought she
25:26was really smart. She's paying really close attention to the the chat rooms, the postings,
25:32the behind the things, the offline analysis that she was trained to do at Central
25:37Intelligence Agency. And and what she believes, I think that coincides with what Joe Kent
25:42and his personnel believe is that, you know, these are going to be attacks from
25:47either a lone actor or small cells.
25:50Now, one of the things we've heard just nonstop over since this conflict in Iran
25:57began was that Iran, the potentiality or the activation of Iranian proxy cells, either Hamas
26:06cells, Hezbollah cells or a cell we don't even know about that's on the radar
26:11now is has been essentially been given the green light to begin to start these
26:17these these these attacks. All right.
26:21So saying all that to say this, we have right one group of law enforcement,
26:29police personnel that are saying, yeah, we're killing it.
26:33We're at all time traditional crime statistics, violent crime statistics that we haven't seen.
26:39And I think maybe mainly because we saw such a huge spike in the hands
26:45off, don't police phase of the Biden administration.
26:48Right. And so all these carjackings were going seventeen hundred percent increase in carjackings in
26:54Philadelphia in twenty one or twenty two, whatever it was, with the average age of
26:59that being 13 to 15 year old boys, by the way.
27:01To now where the my major threat that we seem to be facing is coming
27:07from inter international crime syndicates, i .e.
27:11how why we've designated cartels around the country in the America.
27:15as terrorist organizations, and then the potential of radical Islamic organizations, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas,
27:25Hezbollah, all vying to be able to get in and commit these attacks.
27:29Now, on March 18th, just a few days ago, we had on Capitol Hill, we
27:40had a massive hearing with our top intelligence officials in the United States.
27:46And that was Tulsi Gabbard, Radcliffe for the CIA, Patel, the FBI, and the head
27:52of the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency.
27:56And one of the interesting things that I've come to realize is that when intel
28:03personnel get brought up on Capitol Hill, we get a lot of, it's very difficult
28:11to get straight answers out of these people.
28:13And it doesn't matter if it's who's ever in power, if it's the Democrats in
28:18power, or it's the Republicans in power.
28:20I mean, just under the Biden administration, we had Victoria Nuland asked by Senator Marco
28:26Rubio, are there bioweapons labs in Ukraine?
28:31To which she said, yes.
28:33And then it was like it went away, and that was it.
28:36And I remember, you know, all the briefings on the Iraq war under the Bush
28:41administration. Do they have weapons of mass destruction?
28:45And, you know, initially it was like, absolutely, 100 % guaranteed we have it.
28:50And then it's like, well, no, we didn't find anything.
28:52So, you know, as a person that's, you know, been on the downstream results of
29:03these top brass and the intelligence that they're operating offered to conduct geopolitical strategic initiatives
29:12or in domestic terrorist policy, whatever it is, or law enforcement.
29:18We don't always get what we think we need or what we deserve to hear
29:23as American personnel, right? We have the right to know what the degree of the
29:28threat level is without even compromising how they know it or why they know it.
29:33We just we deserve to have legitimate answers.
29:36But we also know that we don't get those answers because it might what it
29:43might impede public opinion, which would be potentially catastrophic if it were an election cycle,
29:53which 2026 is an election cycle.
29:56Right. I thought it was interesting on this because there were a couple key components,
30:03right? One of them was Tulsi Gabbard was directly asked about last year, last summer,
30:16and asked, you know, did the strikes, was it the opinion of the intelligence agency?
30:21And she sits atop all 17 intelligence agencies.
30:25So she has the highest access to the real time intel, right, that there is.
30:31And they asked her, did we destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities?
30:36Obliterate was the word. And she said, yes, we did.
30:40And so obviously that comes into question, what we were being told over the last
30:46several weeks of why Iran was an imminent threat.
30:51Some people were saying it was because they had ballistic missiles that were nuclear or
30:56they were 90 percent of close to being able to take their enriched uranium and
31:02put it into nuclear weapons, which I found kind of problematic.
31:06Once we were told that last summer they were the whole the whole program was
31:11decimated. All right. Now, one of the interesting, she omitted the part of her testimony
31:16that said Iran had restarted its Iranian enrichment.
31:21This is interesting. And then she was asked why.
31:23And it was said basically to save time in the test, the amount of testimony
31:27that needed to take place.
31:28I thought that was interesting.
31:30Now. All right. Before I get into the next testimony that took place on Capitol
31:34Hill, I just want to give a shout out to our new partner.
31:38This is a company that I have so much faith in.
31:41I'm so excited about. And that's Revival Nutrition.
31:45Now, what makes Revival Nutrition different than all the other supplement companies out there?
31:50Well, three things that are real easy to understand.
31:54First and foremost, it's better science.
31:56Right. I take 13 to 15 supplements a day through Pillar Powder.
32:00And guess what happens during that?
32:02My bioavailability, when that pill or powder hits my gut, I lose the grand majority
32:07of that supplement being absorbed into my system.
32:11Well, with Revival Nutrition's products, it's delivered through a technology called liposomal delivery.
32:17And that's a liquid that as I drink it or put it in my juice
32:22or whatever it is, my body is going to absorb 70 to 80 percent of
32:27that supplement. The other aspect is this is the best tasting liquid supplements, I believe,
32:34that are on the market.
32:35There's a lot of competitors out there, but I believe ours tastes the best.
32:39So if you struggle swallowing pills or putting powder in your drinks.
32:43right? Try our products and your taste buds will go through the roof.
32:48It really is phenomenal. And then the last and most important part is our products
32:55are a value that's redefined, right?

37:49You know, Radcliffe came out on the other side of basically what Tulsi Gabbard said,
37:55and basically said, yes, Iran is an immediate and imminent threat, right?
38:00Absolutely same axis as Tulsi Gabbard.
38:03In fact, Tulsi Gabbard is above Radcliffe in the way the hierarchy works, but he
38:08was unequivocal in his stance that Iran...
38:11and posed an imminent threat to America and Americans, right?
38:17Now, there were several other people that were in the room, and one was the
38:21Defense Intelligence Agency director, who was a general.
38:25And he was asked a couple questions about how they source data, how they source
38:32information, where they get it, and whether or not that that data might have been
38:39kind of outdated data as a result of allegedly an Iranian school, girls' school, being
38:47targeted not with one but with two missile strikes that apparently, allegedly, were American missile
38:54systems, to which he said he would defer, hey, we'll discuss this in a classified
39:00briefing. That's the other tactic that they use when they're in these.
39:04I can't say it overtly because then I would jeopardize sources and how we collect
39:09it and what we think because that would give the enemy insight.
39:12So in a classified briefing over here, I'll tell you, right, which I always love
39:17that answer. It's the right answer.
39:19You know, you have to protect your intelligence for sure, you know, because that's essentially
39:25how we're doing it. However, however, we did elect Congress.
39:30They are the representatives of the American people.
39:34And so when they ask direct questions in a public forum, we would hope that
39:39they would get direct answers.
39:40The reality is you're never going to get what you think you want to hear.
39:43It's just not going to happen.
39:45Another interesting side note that was taking place on the 18th as well, was there
39:49was this SOCOM. Several admirals and generals from SOCOM got up and briefed Congress as
39:57well as the state of SOCOM.
39:59And one of the thing is they all said is there's going to be an
40:03increase. Their prediction is there's going to be an increase in pressure on mission sets
40:06that are traditionally waged by SOCOM assets.
40:11That's special forces. That's SEAL teams.
40:15That's MARSOC. That's, you know, all these intelligence collections within the DIA.
40:20That's AFSOC. All these parties.
40:22And they basically said they were operating about 80 different countries around the world.
40:26They talked about problems that were taking place in Africa with some of our traditional
40:32partners, not wanting to partners anymore.
40:34But they said the primary focus of challenges that they foresee in the future is
40:39going to be within the Middle East region.
40:42Ha, go figure. You start waging a war or multiple fronts in the Middle East.
40:47That's going to be our area of focus.
40:50Now, I will say I didn't hear any testimony.
40:52I didn't get to listen to it long enough to see if there was any
40:55testimony about Ukraine and some of what they believe in terms of Russia challenges, if
41:02they were integrated or dealing with that in terms of training or anything.
41:05But I'll go back and check on that.
41:09The other aspect is that they said that we needed to stay up with the
41:14requirement for technological advancements to move in with the traditional skill sets of special operations.
41:22Right. Because they basically said the modern battlefield is changing rapidly.
41:27And then one of the other one is is to really they need to maintain
41:30key access with strategic partners in these regional areas.
41:35Now, if you're not familiar, one of the main aspects of of the soft community
41:40or SOCOM is to conduct FID missions to work with local with regional entities, governments,
41:49whatever, to work with their military forces to be able to maintain that access.
41:53And you heard Clay Martin talk about that in the show I did just the
41:57other day. All right. Now, I hear all these things and I sit back and
42:02I say to myself, OK, everybody's saying that the threat is real and the threat
42:08is elevated. The data shows that it's elevated.
42:11So what does it actually look like from inside, especially what does it look like
42:19from lone gunmen or small terror cells acting independently or decentralized from some type of
42:25strategic command? Right. They're trained in Afghanistan or in Africa.
42:29They get hooked up with the Red Cross.
42:31They come across. They they partner with a cartel.
42:35They're giving weapon systems, explosives, drones, whatever they facilitate them into every aspect into the
42:42United States. How is it, especially if they've been trained for counter surveillance or counter
42:48espionage? How is it that our people are whether it's Homeland FBI, local law enforcement,
42:55we all know local law enforcement is usually the ones caught in these crossfires because
43:00they don't have a lot of preparation or a lot of interagency operability or threat
43:04reporting. Right. What they have is on the street monitoring of these different groups.
43:11And if you know, but again, they have to have just cause or probable cause
43:17to go initiate surveillance tactics or wiretapping or anything like that.
43:22Right. The FISA things come for more on the federal level.
43:26All right. So, again, I want to just go back to the reality that, right,
43:35a gunman wearing an Iranian flag T -shirt kills two.
43:38Texas bar. Response was great.
43:4157 seconds, local law enforcement, right?
43:44ISIS -aspired men arrested with homemade explosives.
43:48My favorite is the cop from New York tackling the dude and dumping him.
43:52Thankfully, those bombs were poorly made, right?
43:56A man with a terrorism already conviction opens fire in Virginia classroom.
44:02Who takes him down? ROTC personnel takes him down, right?
44:07In the moment, Lebanese -born man with supposed Hezbollah ties drives a school into a
44:14synagogue, right? What happens? Local security takes him down.
44:20So, you know, what I want you to begin to recognize is that as these
44:29terror threats grow or these political violence grows, whether it's some of the Antifa or
44:37these Marxist radicalist groups or whatever it is, as these things grow, what happens?
44:44It puts more and more stress on local law enforcement, more and more stress on
44:49regional law enforcement, more and more stress on state law enforcement, more and more stress
44:54on federal law enforcement to be able to keep track and evaluate all of these
45:01people that want to do harm inside the United States of America, as well as
45:07you also have to have consideration that Americans traveling overseas are definitely a target as
45:13well, too, right? So what do we have?
45:18We have an intelligence challenge, right?
45:22And that intelligence challenge comes at a multitude of levels, right?
45:28The intelligence is a challenge, real -time intelligence operating overseas, reading through that intelligence, who
45:36we're getting it from, how we're getting it.
45:38I can remember multiple times where I was operating overseas and we were using intelligence
45:45that we thought was accurate that turned out not to be accurate.
45:48And there's literally, you know, thousands of these stories on all these operator podcasts or
45:55operators getting interviewed or former CIA personnel or whatever it is, where they talk about
46:00how they got bogus intel as they were relying on outside agencies.
46:05The real magic happens when they would conduct their own information collection, develop their own
46:11intelligence networks, like Green Berets do so wonderfully or some of these other special missions
46:16unit or special activities units, right?
46:19They're out there devising their own intelligence with local ground force so they know what's
46:23going on. Now, how does that play a role for you?
46:27Well, guess what? The intel that your local law enforcement is or is not receiving
46:34is probably not fast enough to be able to stop or impede.
46:41We have seen the FBI do great, great work at stopping a bunch of terrorist
46:46attacks, right? We've seen a bunch come down, but we also last year when we
46:50saw the attack in Washington, DC, some random dude decides I see two American soldiers,
46:56I'm going to go up and shoot them, killed that poor girl.
46:59And we did say the one guy come back from his wounds who was at
47:03the State of the Union.
47:05Now, what's taking place, right?
47:10What's taking place is there's a growing vulnerability for the civilian population.
47:17So, based on my background and what I've done and who I know and what
47:23I pay attention to, I guess the next thing is what recommendations would I give
47:29for you to be able to prepare yourself if this should happen, right?
47:37So, I think one of the few ideas that you have to really start to
47:42think about is you have to think about first and foremost, where do you live,
47:47right? Where do you live?
47:49What type of demographics are in your area?
47:53What types of populations? What types of rallies are taking place?
47:58Political rallies, ideological rallies, religious rallies?
48:01What are the sentiments of the people in these areas talking about, right?
48:06Follow your local news. What type?
48:08Go to your police arrest reports or what types of legal criminal cases are being
48:17filed on a regular basis, right?
48:20This is generating, essentially, you're creating your own intelligence network through open source information that's
48:27available to you all the time, right?
48:30Or if you want to streamline that, right?
48:34Go make friends with a local cop, local law enforcement.
48:38Maybe you've got a friend who's in the FBI.
48:39Maybe you've got a friend who's a DEA agent or a contractor, whatever that might
48:45look like. But it's incumbent upon you to understand your area, what the threats are,
48:51and where they might take place.
48:53Now, how do you do that?
48:54You've got to first be able to assess what areas become targets, right?
48:59I live in a very dense Jewish population, a lot of Jewish friends, kids go
49:05to school with a lot of Jewish kids.
49:06kids so obviously based on the just ridiculous amount of anti -semitism that's just seems
49:13to be growing and growing growing at a at a dramatic pace right do these
49:20areas become high threats or or hard targets or soft targets and that's how you
49:25have to look at it right what is a hard target a hard target is
49:29a church a synagogue a school where some person who's casing it or collecting intelligence
49:36or information on where its weak points are points of entries access how it responds
49:42to different threats active threats permissive threats call -in threats bomb threats you name it
49:47how does the response take place internally right and if you see a a hard
49:54response a focused response with armed guards armed personnel people that in the school that
50:00are armed or in the churches as synagogues that are armed police officer stage that
50:05becomes a hard target what's a soft target a mall right an outdoor cafe right
50:13maybe some type of library or a public space a park where mass people gather
50:22right maybe a movie theater uh we've seen that before maybe it's you know places
50:28that have high density people that are seemingly not paying attention to their surroundings that's
50:34the ultimate soft target right and the dense population make it more attractive so you
50:40can have more bang for your buck i know that's crude i shouldn't describe it
50:44like that but that's what the assailants are thinking at least as i'm thinking about
50:50that if i were to put my shoe myself in the shoes of a terrorist
50:54or radical or whatever and how i'm going to assess or evaluate my target structure
50:59or system that's what they're looking to do all right so create your own sense
51:06of information your own intel network be able to evaluate your surroundings in real time
51:11and then the last one is to train right don't forget we're still the greatest
51:17country in the world for multiple reasons freedom of speech we elect our people that
51:22the whole thing number one thing in my opinion is the second amendment right i
51:26literally don't walk anywhere in florida without a gun on me it's just the way
51:32it is right uh if you see me i've got a gun on me right
51:35and backups too so you have that right but the problem is most people are
51:42very uncomfortable with that responsibility so the only way you can work through that and
51:48i just took a good friend of mine shooting just a week ago because he's
51:51feeling the effects of of these threats and wants to be able to carry so
51:55i took them we spent two hours at the range and started getting them dialed
51:58in right i recently took my oldest daughter i'm taking my oldest daughter and my
52:03wife here in the next few days so i have it's my responsibility as an
52:09expert in these types of things to get out there and train my community my
52:13immediate communities my family my close friends but also the the general community as a
52:19whole and so that's what you need to do too you have to exercise your
52:24second amendment constitutional rights carry a weapon with you on all time and then be
52:30able to develop what i call the offensive mindset all right uh i'm probably going
52:37to do a show on the offensive mindset here in a little bit um to
52:41be able to really help you understand that what that is it's a really kind
52:45of a a motivational talk if you will remember at my core i'm a motivator
52:50i'm a coach i'm an instructor i focus on human performance across a multitude of
52:55ways one of the main ways and i think what i'm best at is is
52:59getting people to really assess their vulnerabilities from uh a safety and a security uh
53:05threat assessment ability all right so get out there and train all right now let's
53:14bring this all back together why do i think there's a new threat paradigm i
53:20believe there's a new threat paradigm because there's a massive wave of immigration that has
53:26come into our country that's allowed people from a lot different places with a lot
53:31of different nefarious uh ideas that are uh counter to what uh americans believe as
53:38as our way of life and what it looks like and they want to hurt
53:42us because of either our actions overseas for the last multiple decades or just what
53:48we represent from a religious capacity what we represent uh in terms of our freedoms
53:54or just our social structures right our progressive liberal ideologies are are antithetical to where
54:01their cultures and what they believe all of these things play a role and on
54:06top of that are now back up into our new geopolitical policy waging a war
54:11in iran uh potentially our presence overseas what we've done uh in other places all
54:19of this is what is shifting this so yes we are becoming better at tackling
54:25traditional criminal activity a violent criminal activity a violent criminal activity but no being able
54:31to capture these lone gunmen or cell you is much more difficult than we can
54:36fathom. All right, that's my explanation of the new threat paradigm.
54:43I hope you've appreciated this.
54:46My intention is never to scare the holy living bejesus out of you.
54:51But what I want you to do is have some context to what I'm thinking
54:55about, what I'm paying attention to, because my main concern is what is to really

56:32Booyah. There's a difference between liking a house and actually getting it.
56:46Redfin is built to make up that difference and close the gap between finding and
56:51owning the home for you.
56:52Redfin agents close twice as many deals as other agents.
56:56So when you find a home you love, you're not a step behind when it
56:59comes to making an offer.
57:00That means less watching great homes disappear and more focus on the one you'll call
57:05home. Redfin helps turn saved listings into real addresses.

57:12Own the dream. This is Bethany Frankel from Just Be With Bethany Frankel.
57:16Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk.
57:19It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls.
57:22That is why they eat just food for dogs.
57:24It's real, 100 % human -grade food with ingredients I actually recognize.
57:29Not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy.
57:31And once I switched, the difference was obvious.
57:34Better digestion, better skin, more energy.
57:37Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner.
57:41Here's the thing. You care about quality.
57:43You make an intentional choice to be healthy.
57:46So why are you gambling with your dog's health?
57:48So let's think about our furry babies.

58:28Hey, it's Bobby Bones. You know, Eddie and I recently stopped by Yeah in Nashville.
58:33It's an incredible nonprofit empowering kids through music education.
58:37Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there.
58:41How do you think learning an instrument helps kids with confidence?
58:45Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are
58:50and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others.
58:55And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that
59:00confidence can only go up.
59:02The full episode is out now, presented by the Hyundai Ioniq 9.
