David Rutherford Show: DC Is Stealing From Vets — Army Ranger David Giralt On The Fight For WY
Podcast:The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Published On: Wed Jul 29 2026 Description: David Rutherford sits down with Army Ranger veteran David Giralt, the 35-year-old taking on a ten-way primary for Wyoming's at-large seat in Congress, to ask the question every veteran is asking: why is Washington looking at veterans' benefits and public lands as the pay-for on the national debt? You'll learn why Giralt says the "revenue problem" narrative is garbage, how the death tax is ending family ranching legacies in Wyoming, what four and a half years inside the House Armed Services Committee taught him about how DC actually works, and where he stands on Iran, the MOU, China, and rebuilding America's defense industrial base. David Giralt served 12 years in the U.S. Army, including the 75th Ranger Regiment, and finished his service as a congressional fellow to the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. He grew up in Wyoming and is running to represent the state he was raised in. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ Timestamps: 00:00 - Preview 00:43 - Ten candidates, one seat, why Giralt is different 05:57 - Post Military Experience In Congress 08:20 - Lobbyists, temptation, and staying accountable 12:03 - Wyoming's top four issues 14:55 - Public Lands 20:34 - The debt, and who DC wants to pay it 25:36 - Rural Health Care 29:53 - WY Economic Development 32:29 - Energy, permitting, and the death tax 35:24 - David’s Incredible Video 38:13 - Lessons From Combat 43:54 - Iran, the MOU, and the end of endless wars 50:52 - How To SupportFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
