Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and host of The David Rutherford Show on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, kicks off with high energy and holiday humor. Rutherford introduces himself and shares his journey from elite military service to motivational coaching and podcasting, highlighting his work with professional athletes, college teams, and corporate leaders. He sets the tone for a fun, engaging post-Christmas broadcast aimed at lifting spirits and inspiring listeners to start the new year strong.
The hour begins with candid reflections on holiday indulgence and personal accountability. Rutherford humorously recounts past Christmases marked by overconsumption and chaos, contrasting them with his more disciplined approach this year—balanced meals, workouts, and a commitment to health. He urges listeners to shake off the holiday slump, get active, and embrace recovery as part of a positive mindset heading into 2026.
From there, Rutherford dives into relatable holiday anecdotes, including his failed attempt to create a “Clark Griswold” light display. He shares the comedic saga of battling rain, broken lights, and missing ladders, ultimately settling for a blow-up Santa and a few ornaments. These stories segue into a broader commentary on family dynamics, personal responsibility, and the importance of humor during stressful seasons.
The conversation then pivots to self-reliance and preparedness, a theme central to Rutherford’s military background. He describes his tradition of buying his own Christmas gifts—ranging from tactical gear to firearms—and introduces a major policy proposal that has him fired up: Senator Mike Lee’s Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act. This bill would empower private U.S. citizens and companies to legally seize cartel assets abroad, targeting fentanyl traffickers. Rutherford enthusiastically imagines former special operators forming “modern pirate crews” to combat cartels, sparking a call-in challenge for listeners to share what gear they’d choose and who they’d recruit for such missions.
The hour also explores cultural trends and entertainment, from classic holiday specials like Charlie Brown Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to modern pop staples like Mariah Carey. Rutherford praises the creativity of AI-generated holiday music and memes, citing viral hits such as “I Caught Santa Claus Sniffing Cocaine” and humorous retro remixes of rap tracks. He argues that AI-driven humor and nostalgia offer a welcome escape during a season that can be emotionally challenging for many.
Closing the hour on a heartfelt note, Rutherford reflects on the deeper meaning of Christmas—hope, kindness, and connection. He shares a personal story about a fallen SEAL teammate, underscoring the importance of compassion and mental health awareness during the holidays. He challenges listeners to perform acts of kindness and calls for a cultural reset toward gratitude and service. Finally, Rutherford introduces his Frog Logic philosophy, a performance framework built on three pillars: embracing fear, forging self-confidence, and living a team life. He invites listeners to explore his online courses designed to translate elite military lessons into everyday success strategies.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Man Christmas, what's off everybody? I am your guest host
on the Incredible Clay Travis and Buck Sexton podcast Network
radio show. I can't even tell you how stoked I am.
My name is David Rutherford. I just if you don't
(00:25):
know who I am, let me give you a quick
brief on who I am and why I'm sitting in
this epics seat today, the day after Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Again, my name is David Rutherford. I'm a former.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Navy seal and CIA contractor. I'm also a World Championship
performance coach win A World Series, helped the Boston Red
Sox in eighteen win a World Series. Also work with
professional athletes and college sports teams and athletes as a
motivational performance coach. And the reason I'm here today is
(00:57):
because my good friend and Buck Sexton had the foresight,
the courage, and the premonition that when the venerable Sean
Parnell left their podcast to clayon Buck podcast Network in
his epic show called Battleground, he left to go work
with Pete Hegseth. Buck thought it might be an interesting
(01:22):
idea to give this old frogman a shot underneath their network,
and that happened. Back in April, I launched my first
show on The David Rutherford Show. You can listen on
all podcast platforms on the iHeart app, on Apple iTunes,
on Spotify. I release the show every Monday and Wednesday.
(01:42):
I talk about everything you can think of. I talk
about political science, I talk about geopolitics. I talked about
the military. I talked about veterans issues. I talk about sports.
I talk about performance. You name it, I talk about
it on The David Rutherford Show. And so when they
reach out a few months ago, they said, all right, Rut,
(02:03):
here's by the way, my friends call me Rut. So
when you call in later, make sure you call in
and tell you say, what's up, Rut. When they asked
me about four or five months ago they reached out,
We're like, all right, Rut, we want you to guest
host the show over the holidays. I was like, absolutely
fired up. I'm all over that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I got that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They're like, well, slow your role there, Skippy, We're gonna
have to give a little test run, which I was
able to do. Back in November, I was able to
guest host The Manny Muno Show on six' TEN wiod
news radio down here In Southeast. Florida AND i had
two days of that AND i THINK i, passed and
so they're giving me a shot. Today and so TODAY
(02:48):
i want to mostly entertain. YOU i want to make
you feel good about your fat stomach over the, holidays
your hungoverness, today and basically.
Speaker 1 (02:58):

you all across the.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Nation you, Know Merry, Christmas Happy, honikah and Just god
blessed to. Everybody even the non committal people who sing
say Happy holidays to.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Everybody and that's the other. Thing, Man just own, up.
Man if your faith believes in one, thing just say Happy.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hanukah SO i go into the mall at Town center
right up in boke ratone AND i walk in and
every person at every store is, like Happy, Holidays Happy.

Houtkah do.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You if you're A, christian go ahead and Say Merry.
Christmas i'll Say Merry. Christmas if you celebrate anything, else
just tell, me you, know happy. Whatever BUT i would
prefer that people just get committed around the holidays a
little bit more than the happy. Holidays, NOW i get.
IT i get it's politically. Correct you don't want to offend.
Anybody BUT i think we're over, that. RIGHT i think
(03:55):
we've moved past all that stuff and we can just
be truthful with what we say to each.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Other, Okay so here's the, deal all.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Right SO i am basically feeling a, sloth a Post
christmas sloth. TODAY i woke up and, GRANTED i didn't
go big LIKE i typically, do and you can ask
my four teenage daughters and my beautiful. Wife in the,
PAST i had a tendency to basically.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Go way over the limits with my.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Consumption, so you, Know i'd On Christmas, eve i'd probably
have two or three helpings of.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Everything you.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Know i'd start with some, champagne then i'd move into
some great red, wine and then i'd finish with a couple, scotches.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Who, knows maybe a gummy later in the.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Evening, Right and Then i'd do the same thing On
Christmas morning with a Huge christmas, breakfast probably not the
booze and the, gummy but definitely gorgeing.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Myself and Then i'd go and you, know i'd.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
TRY i would always tell, myself, Right i'm gonna work,
out BUT i, didn't and THEN i just, kept you,
know went Into christmas dinner and ate.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Again and you know that reality.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Used to cause some pretty substantial gut issues where every
now and Then i'd do a little projectile vomiting later
in the, night just till you can get to. Sleep
AND i know that's, gross it's not what you want to,
hear but that was the only WAY i thought you
had to do. It, well you'll be happy to know
this YEAR i actually restrained, myself. RIGHT i had one
(05:31):

Gift but you, know So i'm looking at what DO
i get for? Myself, well stocking stuffers this year were.
AWESOME i found this great magnetic like tactical pistol holder
(14:00):
for your.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Call it's.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Car it just slaps right on the, side right and
just it just you put your your pistol down in
so you're ready to go if you get carjacked or
jump or just have a little bit of uncontrollable road,
rage which is very common here In South. Florida if
you don't know how to manifest a good deals road
rage In, florida chances are you're not gonna last, maybe you,
know maybe fifteen to seventeen days down.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Here.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Right SO i got my tactical, magnet and THEN i
found out you actually have to drill holes in your
seats that that didn't that's not gonna go well overwhel
for my wife and our. Cars but you, know oh,
well and then the other thing IS i bought this
new tactical assault stretchy. Uniform right all kinds of. COMPANIES
i Bought Born, primitive a great company started by a
(14:43):
Former navy. Seal go check them, out highly recommend. It
AND i bought this incredible all, black, sleek tactical. Outfit
and it was so funny because my wife had wrapped
it in the you know pretty much in the, box
put a thing on it and it said you know
Too dad from the, girls and you, know they were, like,
well what's? That what'd you get? It and AND i,
(15:05):
like so Now i'm. Ready i've got this, great great,
outfit you, know to prep in order to go to.
War because what we, have we've had THE hhs has
reached out to people to conduct ops with. THEM i,
think you, know we've got some other people reaching. Out you,
know the people are being kind of called to go
back to, service whether it's at you, know the agency
(15:27):
or or wherever it. Is but for, me the big
one this year THAT i got super fired up was
When Senator Mike lee introduced The Cartel marquee And Reprise
Reprisal Authorization act right in the one hundred Nineteenth. Contract,
now this bill would authorize The president to issue letters
of marquee in reprisal to PRIVATE.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Us, citizens, companies and.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Entities these would allow them to legally seize, property, vessels
and even persons belonging to drug cartels OUTSIDE us borders
that have committed acts of aggression against The United, states
such as betanol. Traffic, now this fired me. Up i'm
telling you WHEN i say this fired me, up LIKE i,
immediately you, know reached out to a couple, buddy my
Buddy Clay, martin Former Green. GRAY i called my best
(16:11):
Friend Sean ryan, said this is gonna be.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
FUN i Called Evan hay for a black.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
RIFLE i called all kinds of people and got fired
up for, this you, know awesome opportunity to become. Pirates,
NOW i think that that has got to be the
greatest opportunity for us in the whole, world as former
g want operators to get back in the get back
(16:37):
in the, game to become. Pirates so just so you,
know we'll touch more on this WHEN i get.
Speaker 1 (16:42):

your guest Host David. Rutt rutherford here just reminiscing about
good old times WHEN i used to carry a gun
for the lift, blow living in the seal teams and
working For, blackwater which really was the time WHERE i
(17:05):
actually felt LIKE i was pretty much engaged in the
kind of thing That Senator Mike lee issued in as
an idea For President. Trump as you, know The Cartel
marquee And Reprisal Authorization. Act, now this whole thing allows
private citizens to join together to create little pirate gangs
(17:26):
and to go out there and begin to terrorize, cartels
WHICH i think would be an incredible. THING i remember
in the teams and working for At blackwater and at The,
agency we would literally just sit around in our forward
operating bases and basically think about all the different ways
we could go jack up all the evil people in the. World,
(17:48):
Right and it was so funny when this was. Posted
my BUDDY I. M Burling, game great green beret you

Music and if you haven't tried this, yet take any,
awesome hilarious or even good song like modern rap songs
(23:09):
or any song and put it in THE ai music
thing and go back to like the nineteen sixty seventies
soul music.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Stuff and so.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
When this one came, up you, KNOW i caught Stand
A claus sniffing. Cocaine LIKE i literally was pissing myself
WHEN i saw and heard this other. One another ONE
i saw that was absolutely hilarious was was The grinch
That Stole? Bitches and that, one to me was JUST i,
again whoever is out there on social media, land it's
(23:42):
sitting around as you're stuffing your face and you're punching
these things. In, Man i'm so thankful for you, all
BECAUSE i know one, Thing, Man christmas could also be
a big downer for, people, Right it can really be taught.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Troubling it's a real depressive time for many.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
People but if you just simply go search up these
hilarious NEW ai, songs AND i know what you're, Saying you're, like,
rot EVERY ai is gonna destroy all of our classic
our classic songs and our classic. Shows AND i, say,
yeah you might be, right but it's also gonna give us.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
More, memes more, trolling more.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Hilarity than we've ever gotten, before AND i just think
that we need more, laughing, right we need that. Thing
the other hilarious THINGS i saw were THESE ai photos
that were being produced that were absolutely also just they killed.
Me one was it's like this nineteen seventies wood boarded
(24:48):
walls with the shag carpeting and everybody's sitting around a
beat up old Like Fate christmas. Tree and one WAS
i Never one was The Star wars folks doing. This
the other was The shining And Jack nicholson got an
axe For christmas and he's next To Shelley devall and
the crazy twins are in the back. Hallway there was
(25:09):
a hilarious one With Pulp fiction With Samuel jackson And
John travolter and they're eating McDonald's and he's opening up a.
Gun there was another hilarious one With Hannibal. Lecter and
WHAT i love is that when people kind of stop
taking themselves so, seriously what happens around the. Holidays people
get intensely creative and they do really creative things for each,
(25:35):
other for sharing with each, other and whether it's a
creative gift or it's a you, know going out with
people and having a great night, together or it's, creating you,
know sending funny memes or funny things to each. Other
AND i just really believe that that's a such a positive.
Aspect so WHAT i THINK i also want to, do all,
(25:56):
right and also an hour, three here's the second call
in Question i'm gonna have for all, y'all all, right
and this is a good. One so the second call in,
question which will take place in the third, hour you
can call in at at two thirty five Pm Eastern Standard,
time AND i want you to tell me what the
most awesome act of kindness that you saw someone do
(26:20):
or that you did uh for someone else This christmas. Season,
now it can be, hilarious don't get me. Wrong they
can be. Funny they can be. Hilarious all all that
matters is THAT i, think you, KNOW i want to
hear a story about a great act of. Kindness, now
the call in number is one eight hundred two eight
(26:41):
two two eight eight. Two that's one eight hundred two
eight two two eight eight. Two, now don't be, confused
Because i'm also gonna have people call in in my
second segment in the third hour at two twenty one
Pm Eastern standard, time and you're gonna tell me what
kit you're gonna, win what fit you're gonna wear when
you go raiding, cartels and then who you're gonna raid?
(27:04):
With and then segment, three what act of kindness.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Are you gonna bring bring? Forward All?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Right because you, know, really when you think about, it
Like christmas is this pretty amazing, time, Right it's a
time where we have to kind of reset ourselves in
our belief, systems and after the year that we had this,
YEAR i think that's a powerful thing to.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Do.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Right my best Friend Sean ryan Had Lee strobel on
His christmas episode AND i was listening to that yesterday
and it was really, beautiful and he told the story
Of christmas and talked About, Mary Virgin, mary and he
talked About bethlehem and why In, bethlehem which was the
place Where david was, from right and had to be a.
(27:53):
Lineage he talked about The angels, coming The Three Wise
men right coming from The Middle, east and it really
just encapsulated this beautiful story of. Hope AND i think
that's the one thing that we need to really recognize
as pivotal for, everybody is that we're willing to reach
(28:14):
out and bring that hope for each. Other another Thing
i'd seen on my feed a couple of days ago
is my good friend popped up on one of the
sites that remembers fallen seals and other fallen. People and you,
know my Friend Mark minor popped up. Online And mark
(28:37):
was just an incredible. Frogman he won Honor man and
one of the CLASSES i was. In he had a storied.
Career But mark unfortunately took his life a few years
ago On Christmas. Eve AND i just remember WHEN i
got hit with, that how hard that, felt how painful it.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Was AND.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I just want you to realize that it doesn't take, anything,
really it doesn't take any extra. Energy you don't have
to download, anything you don't have to buy anything to
just offer somebody a little bit of kindness around these.
Holidays AND i know you're, SMOKED i know you're. CRUSHED
i know you're getting hammered by you, know different aspects
(29:19):
of your. Life you feel like maybe you're not getting,
head or you're, overworked or your family dynamics or.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Upset but the one thing That.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I've learned in the thirty years That i've really been
trying to understand how to be a motivational performance. Coach
and the thing that actually helped me in buds was
WHEN i sacrificed and helped. Others and SO i want
you to really start thinking about what you can do
for the remaining holiday period with the people that you love,
most that you care most, about is to get out
(29:47):
there and love on them and show them some. Kindness all,
Right this Is David, rutherford guest hosts for The clay

WONDERFUL i think we need to get back to More christmas.
Parties there's just something really cool about Having christmas. Parties
IT i remember growing up there would always be.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
These we'd go.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Over to my parents' friend's house and like you would
hit there'd be like three nights where you'd hit two
or three parties a night and you'd run into. Everybody
now it's, like, man people struggle having those parties.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Anymore you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
KNOW i don't know whether if they don't like their
neighbors or nobody's communicating much. Anymore BUT i think we
need to get back to just more parties in. General for,
sure that would definitely, help but especially over The christmas,
holidays because you, know times are tough and LIKE i
was just talking about, before my Friend Mark, minor you,
Know god bless, Who god rest his. Soul you, know
(31:38):
there's a lot of difficult things that are going on
during these holiday.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Spirits.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Now one of the things that if you don't know
about me, Again i'm a Former navy. SEAL i work For,
BLACKWATER i worked for THE, cia and for the last sixteen,
Years i've been a motivational performance coach and professional. SPEAKER
i work for all different kinds of businesses and. ORGANIZATIONS
(32:04):
i work with college and professional sports.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Teams.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
AGAIN i won A World series championship with The Boston
Red sox in, eighteen won a Collegiate World series championship
with The Oregon State. Beavers a couple other regional stuff
as well. Too last, year did a lot of work
With Penn State Athletic department as well as The Penn
state men's hockey. Team and so What i've done Is
i've compiled all of this these information into this concept
(32:31):
THAT i call frog, logic and that's, thinking act and
training and behaving like a. Frogman, well at LEAST i
removed the, bombs the, bullets the, death and the, craziness,
Right and this is more top or for. Civilians and
WHAT i do IS i teach three basic. Ideas, ONE
i teach people to embrace their. FEARS i teach them
to forge their self, confidence AND i teach them to
(32:51):
live a team. Life, now if you're interested in this,
curriculum it's available online for you all you got to
do is go To David rutherford dot com and check
out these three individual courses that go week by. Week
it's journal based and some, activities but if you engage in,
these the whole idea is that you can learn all
of the things THAT i engaged in through my thirty
(33:16):
years of carrying a gun and all my time as
a Former DIVISION i Athlete i've paid across At Penn
state back in the, day and all these Lessons i've.
Learned so, ANYWAYS i just want to say thank. You
it's been a great hour so. Far
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Man Christmas, what's off everybody? I am your guest host
on the Incredible Clay Travis and Buck Sexton podcast Network
radio show. I can't even tell you how stoked I am.
My name is David Rutherford. I just if you don't
(00:25):
know who I am, let me give you a quick
brief on who I am and why I'm sitting in
this epics seat today, the day after Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Again, my name is David Rutherford. I'm a former.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Navy seal and CIA contractor. I'm also a World Championship
performance coach win A World Series, helped the Boston Red
Sox in eighteen win a World Series. Also work with
professional athletes and college sports teams and athletes as a
motivational performance coach. And the reason I'm here today is
(00:57):
because my good friend and Buck Sexton had the foresight,
the courage, and the premonition that when the venerable Sean
Parnell left their podcast to clayon Buck podcast Network in
his epic show called Battleground, he left to go work
with Pete Hegseth. Buck thought it might be an interesting
(01:22):
idea to give this old frogman a shot underneath their network,
and that happened. Back in April, I launched my first
show on The David Rutherford Show. You can listen on
all podcast platforms on the iHeart app, on Apple iTunes,
on Spotify. I release the show every Monday and Wednesday.
(01:42):
I talk about everything you can think of. I talk
about political science, I talk about geopolitics. I talked about
the military. I talked about veterans issues. I talk about sports.
I talk about performance. You name it, I talk about
it on The David Rutherford Show. And so when they
reach out a few months ago, they said, all right, Rut,
(02:03):
here's by the way, my friends call me Rut. So
when you call in later, make sure you call in
and tell you say, what's up, Rut. When they asked
me about four or five months ago they reached out,
We're like, all right, Rut, we want you to guest
host the show over the holidays. I was like, absolutely
fired up. I'm all over that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I got that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They're like, well, slow your role there, Skippy, We're gonna
have to give a little test run, which I was
able to do. Back in November, I was able to
guest host The Manny Muno Show on six' TEN wiod
news radio down here In Southeast. Florida AND i had
two days of that AND i THINK i, passed and
so they're giving me a shot. Today and so TODAY
(02:48):
i want to mostly entertain. YOU i want to make
you feel good about your fat stomach over the, holidays
your hungoverness, today and basically.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Just have some fun on the race with all of
you all across the.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Nation you, Know Merry, Christmas Happy, honikah and Just god
blessed to. Everybody even the non committal people who sing
say Happy holidays to.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Everybody and that's the other. Thing, Man just own, up.
Man if your faith believes in one, thing just say Happy.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hanukah SO i go into the mall at Town center
right up in boke ratone AND i walk in and
every person at every store is, like Happy, Holidays Happy.
Holidays i'm, like, hey, man it's. Cool if You're, jewish
tell me Happy. Hotakah i'll be, like, yeah happy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Houtkah do.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You if you're A, christian go ahead and Say Merry.
Christmas i'll Say Merry. Christmas if you celebrate anything, else
just tell, me you, know happy. Whatever BUT i would
prefer that people just get committed around the holidays a
little bit more than the happy. Holidays, NOW i get.
IT i get it's politically. Correct you don't want to offend.
Anybody BUT i think we're over, that. RIGHT i think
(03:55):
we've moved past all that stuff and we can just
be truthful with what we say to each.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Other, Okay so here's the, deal all.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Right SO i am basically feeling a, sloth a Post
christmas sloth. TODAY i woke up and, GRANTED i didn't
go big LIKE i typically, do and you can ask
my four teenage daughters and my beautiful. Wife in the,
PAST i had a tendency to basically.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Go way over the limits with my.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Consumption, so you, Know i'd On Christmas, eve i'd probably
have two or three helpings of.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Everything you.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Know i'd start with some, champagne then i'd move into
some great red, wine and then i'd finish with a couple, scotches.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Who, knows maybe a gummy later in the.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Evening, Right and Then i'd do the same thing On
Christmas morning with a Huge christmas, breakfast probably not the
booze and the, gummy but definitely gorgeing.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Myself and Then i'd go and you, know i'd.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
TRY i would always tell, myself, Right i'm gonna work,
out BUT i, didn't and THEN i just, kept you,
know went Into christmas dinner and ate.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Again and you know that reality.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Used to cause some pretty substantial gut issues where every
now and Then i'd do a little projectile vomiting later
in the, night just till you can get to. Sleep
AND i know that's, gross it's not what you want to,
hear but that was the only WAY i thought you
had to do. It, well you'll be happy to know
this YEAR i actually restrained, myself. RIGHT i had one
(05:31):
Helping Christmas, eve one Helping. CHRISTMAS i actually did work
out yesterday and SO i was able to have a
relatively seamless.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Night, now if.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You're struggling this morning and you feel like a, SLOTH
i know what you want to. Do you want to just,
chill you don't want to do. Anything if you're at,
Work i'm, sorry there's NOTHING i can do about. That
but if you're home and you're lounging, around get off
your ass and go work, out all, Right go you'll
feel a thousand times. Better work out with your, Family go,
(06:03):
snowshoeing go, skiing go for a, walk all, right go
to the gym and and and start prepping your body
for a little, recovery BECAUSE i guarantee you it'll help.
You what the other aspect Of christmas this year THAT
i really uh kind of fell short on as well
in terms of the gluttonous actions IS i told my,
(06:24):
KIDS i swore to, THEM i, said this, Year i'm
Going clark griswall on the, Lights i'm gonna, Hang i'm
gonna do the whole. Trees i'm gonna, do you, know
the whole. Thing and down here In South, florida, right
the big thing is you wrap your palm tree with
white lights all the way up and then a little
red on. Top looks kind of, weird either like a
cigarette or penis OR i don't know wherever your head is.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
At you.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Know and and So i'm like telling my Kids i'm going,
big even so much as like my wife went out
and bought some of these giant globe light balls or
like ornament balls that you can hang from the. Trees
it's bought a ton of. Those and needless to, say
about a week and a half, AGO i hadn't put
a damn light up, yet AND i was, like all,
right no big, Deal i'll Just i'll do it real.
(07:06):
Quick SO i go out to do. It i've been working.
TRAVELING i travel for. WORK i professionally speak all over
the country given motivational performance. Talks AND i was done
traveling for the first time in like six. Weeks got
home and didn't do. Anything and finally every other block
house on the block had lights up except. Me SO
i go out and what's it? Do it starts raining
(07:27):
and so Now i'm getting wet my staple. Gun i'm you,
know it's not working. CORRECTLY i lost my. LADDER i

longer worked. Anymore so it was. Miserable so it was
the hilarious. Parts my wife comes, home she sees me
in a. Garage i'm holding The. SCOTCH i got my
glasses AND i basically quit right with like five strands
of lights. On but that but SO i was, like,
Okay i'm just comfortable with. This i'm just gonna let this.
(08:08):
Role i'm not doing. Anything i'm good to. Go well this, week,
RIGHT i go out. Yesterday my wife has literally ordered

(09:56):
to wrap, up you, know this first segment with y'all
is to is to just, say you, know What christmas

gifts or Say i'm sorry and cook something on the
grill or, whatever but, MAN i dropped That christmas ball
so bad this, year and so you, KNOW i just
REALLY i want to, Say i'm sorry to my beautiful,
wife to my. Kids my neighbors are probably pretty stoked

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Holidays, NOW i know what you're, Saying christmas is not about, materialism.
Rut christmas is about you, know giving and doing great
things for other. People and so that's, why you, know
WHEN i buy grip gifts, now especially with four teenage

Presents. Right i've been doing this for.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A good for or for really POST, covid, right because you,
Know christmas TIME covid, was we weren't really there was
something going on in the. WORLD i kind of saw
this with my, background, like, oh this is gonna be,
bad a pandemic, maybe so the end of the world is.
Coming SO i need to go out and buy a
bunch of. Stuff SO i bought a few. GUNS i
bought a pair of night, VISION i bought a bunch
(13:33):
Of ammo probably five thousand rounds or.

for your.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Call it's.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Car it just slaps right on the, side right and
just it just you put your your pistol down in
so you're ready to go if you get carjacked or
jump or just have a little bit of uncontrollable road,
rage which is very common here In South. Florida if
you don't know how to manifest a good deals road
rage In, florida chances are you're not gonna last, maybe you,
know maybe fifteen to seventeen days down.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Here.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Right SO i got my tactical, magnet and THEN i
found out you actually have to drill holes in your
seats that that didn't that's not gonna go well overwhel
for my wife and our. Cars but you, know oh,

think you, know we've got some other people reaching. Out you,
know the people are being kind of called to go
back to, service whether it's at you, know the agency
(15:27):
or or wherever it. Is but for, me the big
one this year THAT i got super fired up was
When Senator Mike lee introduced The Cartel marquee And Reprise
Reprisal Authorization act right in the one hundred Nineteenth. Contract,
now this bill would authorize The president to issue letters
of marquee in reprisal to PRIVATE.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Us, citizens, companies and.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Entities these would allow them to legally seize, property, vessels
and even persons belonging to drug cartels OUTSIDE us borders
that have committed acts of aggression against The United, states
such as betanol. Traffic, now this fired me. Up i'm
telling you WHEN i say this fired me, up LIKE i,
immediately you, know reached out to a couple, buddy my
Buddy Clay, martin Former Green. GRAY i called my best
(16:11):
Friend Sean ryan, said this is gonna be.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
FUN i Called Evan hay for a black.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
RIFLE i called all kinds of people and got fired
up for, this you, know awesome opportunity to become. Pirates,
NOW i think that that has got to be the
greatest opportunity for us in the whole, world as former
g want operators to get back in the get back
(16:37):
in the, game to become. Pirates so just so you,
know we'll touch more on this WHEN i get.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Back i'm Your i'm.

Hosted I'm David, rutherford guestos for The clay And Buck.
Show welcome back to The clay And Buck. Show i'm
your guest Host David. Rutt rutherford here just reminiscing about
good old times WHEN i used to carry a gun
for the lift, blow living in the seal teams and
working For, blackwater which really was the time WHERE i
(17:05):
actually felt LIKE i was pretty much engaged in the
kind of thing That Senator Mike lee issued in as
an idea For President. Trump as you, know The Cartel
marquee And Reprisal Authorization. Act, now this whole thing allows
private citizens to join together to create little pirate gangs
(17:26):
and to go out there and begin to terrorize, cartels
WHICH i think would be an incredible. THING i remember
in the teams and working for At blackwater and at The,
agency we would literally just sit around in our forward
operating bases and basically think about all the different ways
we could go jack up all the evil people in the. World,
(17:48):
Right and it was so funny when this was. Posted
my BUDDY I. M Burling, game great green beret you
should follow him ON ax out there posted a picture

get enough of this is, hilarious is all the NEW
ai music stuff that's out. There and so As i'm

really just cracked me up was a play on the
old kind of, song you, KNOW i Caught mommy Kissing,
(22:47):
santa which is always hilarious to. ME i love that,
one but this one WAS I Caught Santa claus sniffing
cocaine and it was one of the funniest. Things and
it's set in this nineteen seven these kind of soul pop.
Music and if you haven't tried this, yet take any,
awesome hilarious or even good song like modern rap songs
(23:09):
or any song and put it in THE ai music
thing and go back to like the nineteen sixty seventies
soul music.

Stuff and so.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
When this one came, up you, KNOW i caught Stand
A claus sniffing. Cocaine LIKE i literally was pissing myself
WHEN i saw and heard this other. One another ONE
i saw that was absolutely hilarious was was The grinch
That Stole? Bitches and that, one to me was JUST i,
again whoever is out there on social media, land it's
(23:42):
sitting around as you're stuffing your face and you're punching
these things. In, Man i'm so thankful for you, all
BECAUSE i know one, Thing, Man christmas could also be
a big downer for, people, Right it can really be taught.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Troubling it's a real depressive time for many.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
People but if you just simply go search up these
hilarious NEW ai, songs AND i know what you're, Saying you're, like,
rot EVERY ai is gonna destroy all of our classic
our classic songs and our classic. Shows AND i, say,
yeah you might be, right but it's also gonna give us.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
More, memes more, trolling more.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Hilarity than we've ever gotten, before AND i just think
that we need more, laughing, right we need that. Thing
the other hilarious THINGS i saw were THESE ai photos
that were being produced that were absolutely also just they killed.
Me one was it's like this nineteen seventies wood boarded
(24:48):
walls with the shag carpeting and everybody's sitting around a
beat up old Like Fate christmas. Tree and one WAS
i Never one was The Star wars folks doing. This
the other was The shining And Jack nicholson got an
axe For christmas and he's next To Shelley devall and
the crazy twins are in the back. Hallway there was
(25:09):
a hilarious one With Pulp fiction With Samuel jackson And
John travolter and they're eating McDonald's and he's opening up a.
Gun there was another hilarious one With Hannibal. Lecter and
WHAT i love is that when people kind of stop
taking themselves so, seriously what happens around the. Holidays people
get intensely creative and they do really creative things for each,
(25:35):
other for sharing with each, other and whether it's a
creative gift or it's a you, know going out with
people and having a great night, together or it's, creating you,
know sending funny memes or funny things to each. Other
AND i just really believe that that's a such a positive.
Aspect so WHAT i THINK i also want to, do all,
(25:56):
right and also an hour, three here's the second call
in Question i'm gonna have for all, y'all all, right
and this is a good. One so the second call in,
question which will take place in the third, hour you
can call in at at two thirty five Pm Eastern Standard,
time AND i want you to tell me what the
most awesome act of kindness that you saw someone do
(26:20):
or that you did uh for someone else This christmas. Season,
now it can be, hilarious don't get me. Wrong they
can be. Funny they can be. Hilarious all all that
matters is THAT i, think you, KNOW i want to
hear a story about a great act of. Kindness, now
the call in number is one eight hundred two eight
(26:41):
two two eight eight. Two that's one eight hundred two
eight two two eight eight. Two, now don't be, confused
Because i'm also gonna have people call in in my
second segment in the third hour at two twenty one
Pm Eastern standard, time and you're gonna tell me what
kit you're gonna, win what fit you're gonna wear when
you go raiding, cartels and then who you're gonna raid?
(27:04):
With and then segment, three what act of kindness.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Are you gonna bring bring? Forward All?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Right because you, know, really when you think about, it
Like christmas is this pretty amazing, time, Right it's a
time where we have to kind of reset ourselves in
our belief, systems and after the year that we had this,
YEAR i think that's a powerful thing to.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Do.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Right my best Friend Sean ryan Had Lee strobel on
His christmas episode AND i was listening to that yesterday
and it was really, beautiful and he told the story
Of christmas and talked About, Mary Virgin, mary and he
talked About bethlehem and why In, bethlehem which was the
place Where david was, from right and had to be a.
(27:53):
Lineage he talked about The angels, coming The Three Wise
men right coming from The Middle, east and it really
just encapsulated this beautiful story of. Hope AND i think
that's the one thing that we need to really recognize
as pivotal for, everybody is that we're willing to reach
(28:14):
out and bring that hope for each. Other another Thing
i'd seen on my feed a couple of days ago
is my good friend popped up on one of the
sites that remembers fallen seals and other fallen. People and you,
know my Friend Mark minor popped up. Online And mark
(28:37):
was just an incredible. Frogman he won Honor man and
one of the CLASSES i was. In he had a storied.
Career But mark unfortunately took his life a few years
ago On Christmas. Eve AND i just remember WHEN i
got hit with, that how hard that, felt how painful it.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Was AND.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I just want you to realize that it doesn't take, anything,
really it doesn't take any extra. Energy you don't have
to download, anything you don't have to buy anything to
just offer somebody a little bit of kindness around these.
Holidays AND i know you're, SMOKED i know you're. CRUSHED
i know you're getting hammered by you, know different aspects
(29:19):
of your. Life you feel like maybe you're not getting,
head or you're, overworked or your family dynamics or.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Upset but the one thing That.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I've learned in the thirty years That i've really been
trying to understand how to be a motivational performance. Coach
and the thing that actually helped me in buds was
WHEN i sacrificed and helped. Others and SO i want
you to really start thinking about what you can do
for the remaining holiday period with the people that you love,
most that you care most, about is to get out
(29:47):
there and love on them and show them some. Kindness all,
