David Rutherford Show: Is America Weimar Germany? Brandon Gresham On Propaganda, The Divided Right & The Strongman Trap
Podcast:The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Published On: Mon Sep 07 2026 Description: Everybody's telling you we're Weimar Germany. The hard right says it, the hard left says it, and both of them want the same thing the Germans got in 1933. This week I sat down with Brandon Gresham — Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of I Came With Fire — who actually did the homework on 1919 to 1933, and he says the comparison falls apart on contact except for one lesson nobody wants to hear. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ What you'll hear: • Brandon breaks down why the Weimar comparison collapses the moment you look at 1919 instead of 1933 • The one question that tells you whether you want the country fixed or just want the other side whipped • How propaganda makes you feel like an individual while it herds you into a crowd — with America First as the case study • Why "your vote doesn't count" is the most useful lie anyone in power can get you to believe • The China and Russia info war over American data centers • What Millennials and Zoomers inherited — and were never taught to maintain Brandon Gresham is a U.S. Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of the I Came With Fire podcast, where he and Army Special Forces veteran Chris dig into history, propaganda and the forces shaping the West. He co-founded Freedom Syndicate PAC, which recruits and funds Global War on Terror veterans running for office.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
