When disaster strikes, seconds matter — and sometimes the first help doesn’t come from official agencies.

In this episode of The David Rutherford Show, Brian Trascher of the United Cajun Navy explains how a volunteer disaster-response network grew from Hurricane Katrina rescues into a nationwide force capable of deploying helicopters, logistics networks, and rapid response supply chains.

From search-and-rescue missions to delivering communication systems into isolated disaster zones, this episode breaks down how modern volunteer response operations work — and why speed, logistics, and communication determine survival in crisis scenarios.

The United Cajun Navy was built on the idea that ordinary Americans can mobilize to help each other when systems move too slowly. Their operations now include nationwide volunteer networks, pre-positioned supply logistics, and rapid deployment rescue operations.

Is UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer running out of time? In this data-driven breakdown, pollster James Johnson of J&L Partners joins Ryan to unpack the numbers shaping Britain’s political future—and the warning signs flashing for Labour.

From collapsing approval ratings to rising support for Nigel Farage, the polling tells a story of a leader losing authority, a party struggling to unify, and an electorate shifting in unpredictable ways. Johnson explains why Starmer may survive in the short term—but faces mounting pressure from within his own party, especially as key allies exit and potential rivals position themselves.

The conversation dives into the real power dynamics inside Labour, including the influence of figures like Peter Mandelson, the fallout from Morgan McSweeney’s departure, and the contenders quietly preparing leadership bids. Plus, what do upcoming by-elections and local races reveal about Labour’s vulnerability?

And perhaps most importantly—how does Farage factor into all of this? With Reform UK holding steady in the polls, Labour voters may be forced to choose between sticking with Starmer or rallying behind a new leader who can actually win.

Big Tech is finally facing a major legal reckoning—and the outcome could reshape the internet as we know it.

On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by Media Research Center VP Dan Schneider to break down the landmark lawsuits targeting social media giants over alleged harm to teens and children. They dive into the legal battle unfolding in California and New Mexico, the limits of Section 230, and whether tech platforms can still claim immunity while controlling content.

Is social media truly “addictive by design”? Where does personal responsibility end and corporate accountability begin? And could new evidence expose Big Tech companies for knowingly allowing harmful or even illegal content?

Plus, Tudor and Dan explore media bias in platforms like Apple News and Wikipedia, raising serious questions about information control, censorship, and the future of free speech in America.
