Description: Former Navy SEAL and CIA officer David Rutherford breaks down the week two separate wars became one — and why he recognized the exact waterway where it happened. Ukraine just launched drone strikes on an Iranian cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea — a supply corridor David personally helped surveil during his Agency years in Azerbaijan. In this week-in-review, David maps the full escalation picture: US strikes on IRGC facilities inside Iran, Iranian attacks reaching American platforms in Egypt and Jordan, Saudi Arabia entering the fight, Russia striking Zelensky's hometown, and Poland scrambling jets as NATO stands up an $800 billion rearmament. You'll learn why every major superpower is now committed on one side or another, what the loss of Lindsey Graham means for the Senate as midterms approach, and what Netanyahu's and Zelensky's same-week White House visits were really about. Then David turns to the Fauci hearing — the Fifth Amendment on repeat, the autopen pardon, and what the accountability vacuum is doing to the American mindset. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 🕘 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 01:47 – Lindsey Graham's funeral and the Senate power shift 05:10 – Netanyahu and Zelensky at the White House 13:46 – Iran War 28:01 – Fauci pleads the Fifth 37:57 – The breaking point — and what to do with itFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
