According to today's guest — it's a textbook insurgency. And he's qualified to say that. Chief Warrant Officer 4 Eric Schwalm spent 30 years in Special Operations Forces and military intelligence, deploying to Syria and working at the agency level. He applies the same operational design framework he used against ISIS to what he's watching inside U.S. politics — and the picture it reveals is sobering.  Eric Schwalm is a retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 with three decades in Special Operations and intelligence. He writes and speaks on political analysis through the lens of professional military intelligence methodology. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🍊 Revival Nutrition: https://revivalnutrition.com/collections/rutherford Use promo code DAVID for 20% off ➡️ Follow Eric: https://x.com/Schwalm5132 📝 Eric's Article: https://x.com/Schwalm5132/status/2037152016749724035 📲 Follow us on social: https://linktr.ee/davidrutherfordshow 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 📕 Get David's novel, The Poet Warrior: https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/the-poet-warrior 📰 Sign up for David's newsletter for free coaching tips, updates, and more: https://davidrutherfordletter.substack.com/ 🎧 Listen To The Podcast: ➡️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-david-rutherford-show/id1807090449 ➡️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4p4wYEiUmm0PD79D5GZAV4?si=l-rPJBJORPi9IGB1eE3_pw ➡️ iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-david-rutherford-show-271920338?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true 🕘 Timestamps: 00:00 – The Insurgency Frame: It's Not a Party War 07:40 – Applying COIN Analysis to Domestic Politics  11:15 – Precincts, Infrastructure & How the Old Guard Holds Power 20:00 – The Congressional Information System Explained 24:14 – Lobbying, Donor C
