David Rutherford Show: How a Navy SEAL Finds Peace in Everyday Pain | Ray "Cash" Care

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Show Notes

Former Navy SEAL David Rutherford welcomes former Navy SEAL Ray "Cash" Care for an honest talk on friendship after Covid, empty-nest silence, and why men who cannot sit still still need peace. Ray admits he started his speaking business as a fraud copying other operators, until he stopped pretending to be David Goggins or anyone else. He describes a saturated market of about 400 SEAL speakers, credits the Operators Collective, and invites Team to Apex Protocol in Las Vegas November 20 to 23. David asks the question he has been putting to every operator: how do you find peace in the everyday pain of your life? Ray answers as a pain coach, not a motivational coach. Reflect on the pain. Dominate needs before wants. Keep a house full of love. Treat every minute as a mission. Life is like BUD/S. You do not pass it. You survive it. Guest: Ray "Cash" Care is a Navy SEAL veteran, peak performance coach and motivational speaker. After his teams time he did overseas security work including protection for U.S. government agencies such as the CIA in Iraq and Afghanistan. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ Site: raycashcare.com Apex Protocol: theoperatorscollective.com CHAPTERS 00:00 — "It's easier to find war than peace" 00:38 — Ray "Cash" Care is back 02:20 — Why David went dark after COVID 05:00 — Why warriors can't sit still 07:30 — 400 SEALs selling leadership: the saturated market 10:23 — "I was a fraud": how Ray found his own voice 14:10 — Inside Rob O'Neill's Operators Collective 15:29 — The Apex Protocol: Las Vegas, Nov 20–23 17:50 — AI vs. real human connection 23:05 — The bro-vet war: why veterans attack each other 28:39 — Stop yelling: how Ray changed his message 35:13 — Why vulnerability is strength 40:32 — How do you find peace in pain? 44:42 — Needs before wants 46:44 — "If I died right now, I'd die happy" 49:17 — Where to find Ray Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Affordability is usually framed around gas prices, groceries, and housing costs. Steve Yates argues that voters should ask a different question: can America afford to reverse the policies shaping border security, energy production, technology investment, and cooperation across the Western Hemisphere? Looking at inflation, fuel prices, migration trends, and industrial growth, he compares recent history with today's policy choices and examines what those choices could mean for families and businesses. Listen now and decide whether affordability should be measured by today's prices alone or by the long-term costs of changing course.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show centers on a wide-ranging mix of politics, sports, free speech, culture war issues, and critical analysis of the 2026 midterm elections. The hour opens with an in-studio interview featuring former NBA player and human rights activist Enes Kanter Freedom, who discusses his support for Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn, his criticism of the Chinese Communist Party, and the repercussions he says he faced after speaking out about human rights abuses in China while playing in the NBA. Freedom recounts how broadcasts of his team’s games were affected in China following his comments and discusses his belief that his outspoken criticism of Beijing contributed to the end of his NBA career. He credits Blackburn as one of the first political leaders to publicly support him and explains why he has become active in her campaign efforts.
