what's up what's up happy thanksgiving everybody welcome to a brand new episode of part of the problem it is thanksgiving eve as we record this of course i'm dave smith and of course he is robby the fire burnstein we got a good episode for you guys today rob how you feeling doing well already had uh my first thanksgiving sandwich yesterday they had the uh where like the roasted chickens are they had the roasted turkey so i was like let's go bought that some bread some cranberry sauce so i'm already filled with thanksgiving spirit i i'd imagine this is the holiday that animates you more than any other holiday oh for sure i get to see my family i don't have to do jewish bullshit it's a win yeah just drinking and eating there really is like um there's there there is a turn where like when

you're a little kid your favorite holiday has always revolved around like presents or like you know like something that's fun for little kids. But when you, as an adult, Thanksgiving beats everything, man. Thanksgiving. Sure, you're supposed to be thankful on some level. But really, the holiday is just, at least, dude, I'll tell you the tradition. Maybe this sounds fucked up and sexist, but I am fucked up and sexist, and I stand by that. But it was always, when I was a kid to now, it's always like the women are like, I mean, right now, my mother-in-law and my wife are upstairs just preparing what i would describe well i they they've never been happier literally they've never been happier and i i would describe it as um a criminally insane amount of food for the

amount of people who are coming to like i mean i'm like just from eyeballing it i think i'm gonna have 15 people over at my house tomorrow i think there's enough food for 300 people like it's just a ridiculous, but man, are they, anyway, the point is, though, that it's always just kind of been, to me, the holiday has always just been like, oh, pour yourself a glass of whiskey and sit down and bullshit for a little bit and then sit down to a nice big meal and then have some good leftovers in the fridge for a few days. And what's better than that? Yeah, whoever thought of this one was good. I'm sorry that some pilgrims had to kill some Indians, but, you know, 100 years later. From what I understand, Rob, that happened later.

I understand the dinner the dinner was very successful and then I think in the immediate aftermath things did go in a genocidal direction sure but that's not like okay things happen life is complicated it doesn't mean we can't still celebrate that meal although I will in all seriousness I mean not that I'm not being serious about all the stuff I said before but I do think I do like the idea of a a holiday based around thankfulness I think that's good I think it's very healthy for people to have gratitude and appreciation for the things they have. I try my best to do that. I think that's the best inoculation against being a shitty person as being grateful for what you have. So yeah, hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving. You're going home, Rob, but no. It's easy, peasy.

My family does lunch. I'll be asleep by three, waking back up at 8 p.m. For leftovers, it's a nice day. Yeah, love it. I love the eating early, too. Yeah, every aspect of it's very good. Now, another thing that I'm thankful for this year is I'm particularly thankful for dumbass congressmen who start Twitter beefs with me and then get ratio to high holy heaven.

He's got his eye on you. Well, we all know which one. All right, listen, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit when it comes here. But as some of you may have seen, completely, I would say, unprompted by me, Dan Crenshaw, the sitting representative out of Texas there has started attacking me on Twitter. Now, I will say, I don't exactly know what the deal with Dan Crenshaw is. He's a weird guy. And I'm, you know, like, he's, I think he's got some issues with alcohol, is my suspicion.

I mean, there was this story. We're not going to fault him for that, though. I mean, if we're going to criticize a guy, that's not the thing we're going to go after them for. Oh, no, no, no. I'm saying, handle your fucking booze, dude. Like, what's wrong with you? We all drink. You're the only one making it weird.

Well, no, he had, like, some incident in Mexico on a congressional trip there and that he was, like, banned from congressional international travel for months because I forget what we were like I got kicked out of a bar or something like that. But anyway, which, look, you know, honestly, probably of all the things about the guy, that might be the only thing I could. kind of like about him the rest is pretty bad but if you remember this rob and this must have been from like like this was a while ago like four or five years ago you remember he used to like he used to lurk in our comment section i don't think that was him i think that was no no no dude it was him brian showed me like you could click on the thing and it was from it was him or someone from his official account would like lurk in our comment section and then i also happen to know like some behind the scene stuff that I shouldn't, but let's just say he's reached out to some people before

and been like, you can't have this Dave Smith guy on, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then as a response to that, he was, it was proposition that we debate, which he immediately said no to. So anyway, he's been aware of who I am for a weird amount of time. like not just it kind of makes sense like maybe over the last year maybe over the last couple years but like before that he was like aware of of me and obviously not uh not a fan uh as he's you know trying to be the the john mcane of this generation in the senate but so he came at me on twitter and i did think that this was actually like i thought this was something worthy of bringing to the show because it's not just well first of all it's uh an

actual congressman who's like arguing with us here so okay you're somebody who holds political power and then on top of that like what the way he came at me and then what he was trying to do afterward i don't know if you saw any of this rob but he's basically trying to make it that uh like he he quote tweeted somebody else saying that i was uh denigrating him for his military service or something like that so now the angle that they're trying to go with which is quite pathetic is that I was insulting all of the troops when I was insulting Dan Crenshaw, which to be very clear here, I was just insulting Dan Crenshaw, which I refuse to stop doing. It's amazing how politicians will turn supposedly real men.

I mean, the guy did real service in the military into the bitchiest of tactics of how dare you shame on you, what you said was offensive. And clearly, that wasn't even your statement. But even if it was, you can actually just be a dude and have a conversation or take on ideas to go with the just direct to shame on you. You should be ashamed of yourself and all the feelings of all these individuals that I'm going to speak on behalf of them. It's like just the most lowly female liberal behavior. Yes. If we're going to rank female liberal like annoying behavior, I mean, that's got to be on the top of the list.

It's like on the level of like the most annoying like chick, you know. saying the most annoying thing. And then you go, that's so annoying. And she goes, oh, it's because I'm a woman. And you're like, no, it's because you're you. Like, what are you hiding behind all this nonsense? And also, anyway, so just, I'll just read what was written. And then I wanted to, you know, make a few points about it.

But so Dan Crenshaw just tweeted at me. He said, Dave Smith, seriously, this random comedian has gotten way too much attention as a pseudo-intellectual on foreign policy. We all know Candace has lost it, but don't forget about her co-conspirators. They're all in on the grift, begging for your engagement on social media. So, again, it's just, like you said,

just all of them, they all argue like teenage girls. Like, it's just not one point, not anything of substance, just, you're a poo-poo pants is basically what they come at you with. Like, what are you, like, how do you, How does a grown man write this, send it, and not just feel ashamed inside? It's just very weird. I did, by the way, it made me laugh that Clint's response was, he said, if you debate, Dave, I'll donate $5,000 to your favorite charity.

And then he put in parentheses, APEC, which I did. That is great. That really made me laugh. Is APEC is Dan's favorite charity. It's just, I thought that was good. So then I said something like, I go, random comedians. well then why's a sitting congressman wasting time talking to a random comedian in which he responded and this to me was uh was what was it so here here's his response so we could take this apart a little bit

but he said i waste time addressing you because unfortunately you have enough people who buy into your nonsense maybe you're funnier than i thought labeling me a war hawk what war did i ever vote for dave yeah i was in college not a congressman sorry i just fought and sacrificed in those war so that grifters like you could sit back and safely build up conspiratorial narratives about all of it. So, Dave DeCamp, by the way, the great Dave DeCamp over at anti-war.com, he did jump on the part about he's going, I'm not a warhawk, I don't support wars, and pointed out Dan's entire voting record. He voted for the war in Syria and Yemen, and he voted against troops being pulled out.

He voted for, and, you know, of course, Ukraine and Gaza, whatever. He's supported every war. He's at the opportunity to support. But I jumped more on the other point, which I just think that this goes well beyond a petty, like, beef between me and Dan Critch, which, again, like, I don't have a beef with Dan Crinch. Dan Crengey has a petty beef with me because I'm against the war party. But I don't have a petty beef with him. He's not even really a very major figure within the war party. but I do have a real issue with both, well, look, I'd be completely honest with this.

I have an issue with a vet in general who fought in the terror wars saying that these wars protected your freedom. I mean, how the hell have you not woken up yet to this? Now, that's not, I'm not like sitting here and trying to like, I'm not blaming the vets. In fact, I think the argument is very pro-military. Like, the idea is that we don't want your brothers and sisters, mostly brothers, to die for no reason and have their lives ruined and all this shit. But for Dan Crenshaw, for a sitting member of Congress to still be saying that the reason why I can podcast,

or the reason why I can, like, I'm safe to do this because of the war on terrorism, is, I mean, it's an appalling thing to believe in 2025, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I mean, first of all, look, the only theater in the war on terrorism. I mean, what are the theaters in the war on terrorism, Rob? There was Iraq and Afghanistan. There was Libya, there was Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan. Niger.

I think I'm missing a couple of the other countries that Libya, like, spilled into there in Northern Africa, a couple other Northern African countries. None of them had anything to do with 9-11 except Afghanistan where Al-Qaeda was housed. Okay?

That's just not like... And so we took out al-Qaeda by Christmas of December 2001. And then we fought a 20-year regime-change war against the Taliban. So, in other words, the Taliban never commit the Taliban's a bunch of goat herders in Afghanistan there were no threat to Americans freedom uh Saddam Hussein certainly was no threat anyway the point is no matter how many

people in Iraq in Libya in Syria in Somalia in Yemen in Pakistan money how many people you killed there that had nothing to do with protecting anybody's freedom and it's pretty appalling for for a sitting member of Congress to like claim that in any meaningful sense I'm able to podcast in a way I went literally the only thing the war on terrorism has done for me podcasting has given me a bunch of content that I'll grant you you've given me a bunch of wars to oppose and you've handed me the easy card of winning a million debates because I'm just on the side that's against mass murder for no reason well that's all that has been affected I think if we fought more wars we could be even more free

Prove me wrong. Right. Prove me wrong that there isn't more freedom available for us. This is the logic that we're dealing with here with Dan Crenshaw. So I pointed out, I responded to him, and I said, you fought in a catastrophic 20-year regime change war against the Taliban that failed and left a better armed Taliban. How did that make any American safer to have any opinion?

You know, like what, just give me the logic of this. And then that's when his response is, so he didn't respond to me again. Then some other hack on Twitter said, don't attack veterans for fighting wars that they were called to serve. So that's it. And then Dan Crenshaw quote tweets that and starts going off about how I've revealed what a truly reprehensible person I am for, you know, attacking veterans for serving in wars, although, like, again, it's like all these guys, they have to, like, they're, don't get me wrong, people like Dan Crenshaw are, he's a very unimpressive person, he is not bright, but he's not this stupid.

Like, nobody who is capable of speaking in complete sentences is so stupid that they wouldn't understand that, Rob, the point I was just making, was that attacking a veteran for serving in a war? no the critique was claiming that a war protected liberty when it clearly didn't by the way most veterans agree with me on this this is uh like he wants to he's trying to pull this thing like what a reprehensible person you are because you you know you say these wars didn't protect your freedom but the thing is the veterans all know this this is what even back in 2008 2012 ron paul got more money from active duty military than anybody else to this day the veterans are the ones who are against the forever wars as much as

any other demographic in this country um partly because they actually sacrificed in them um like dan krenshaw but you know he betrays that sacrifice now by trying to get more um more military members hurt in these stupid wars but anyway i just so so right away i guess the first comment to just make rob is like how pathetic how pathetic isn't that embarrassing just as as an american Isn't it embarrassing to have a sitting member of Congress, even getting in these Twitter spats, but then also just using the most disingenuous, like, bitchy girl fucking tactics? Get the fuck out of here, dude. I like the idea of Dan Crenshaw, sitting in his basement.

He's got the one lamp up. He's got all the military plans out. And he sends out that tweet. And then you fire back with the wars didn't make us safer. And he sits there and goes, oh, he fell right in. into my eye, I'm offended trap. Like, yeah, really? Yeah.

That's it. That's what you got. What do you mean, you people? That's what you've got. Congressman Crenshaw. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Brunt Workwear. Brunt Workwear have the most comfortable workboots I've ever owned.

All right, let's get back into the show. By the way, another wonderful element of

of Twitter and all of this is just that this dude he is just getting ratioed on every goddamn post like every every post is just people just dunking on him because it's just it's weird like you know when people go out you know it's like these these people like congressmen who like he's like you know protected by armed security every day and he's in his cushy office and he's going and giving speech but then you wander out into Twitter which is just like the wild wild west and you try try to bring this bullshit and he's just getting eaten up, which is, you know, a lot of fun. But anyway, also a lot of fun, but also it is a little bit indicative of just how much the audience is over this bullshit. But anyway, so he said, now he says in this tweet where

he quote tweets the other guy, let me read this. So he goes, and for Dave Smith, he goes, I'll give you a simple answer about what we got for my sacrifice. and the ultimate sacrifices, my friends paid. No more 9-11s. That's what we got. Thank you, Dave Smith, for revealing what a truly reprehensible person you are. And I thought it was simply that Dave was, I'm sorry, I thought it was simply that Dave was uninformed and misguided.

But that response to me below shows his total contempt for all veterans who have served. Okay, so just, I mean, on the last point, like, obviously, just pathetic. But, you know, let's go a little bit deeper than that. And I, you know, it's just funny also, you know, it kind of reminds me of like woke leftists when they would always get offended on behalf of black people. And you're like, I don't know, I'm from Brooklyn. I've met black people. And they're not like thin-skinned snowflakes.

One of the best things about black people is that they're not like pussy bitches like you liberal women are. And say the same thing to Dan Crenshaw here. Like this you've. offended all of us veterans. Shut up, dude. I've fucking met veterans. None of them are snowflake bitches like this.

None of them go, you said the war didn't protect freedom. I'm offended. That's not how they are. You sit around in a room full of veterans, dude. And talk about how all the wars will bull, all the wars will bullshit and sold off lies. And you're going to get a lot of people going, uh-huh, yeah, that's what you're going to get.

There might be a few in there who disagree, but even there are not going to be snowflakes like this. but I did want to like to the broader claim because I do think this should be responded to on the show the claim here and it is really when you think about it like it is I mean it's it's the dick chaining logic um you know it's it's team B from the CIA logic right so like the logic would be Rob if the if your radar doesn't detect any Soviet submarines then that means the Soviets have made submarines that can't be detected by radar, right? Like, that's the logic of all of it. And so it's a similar type of thing where every, all evidence against your position just means your position is right. There wasn't another 9-11.

It's the COVID vaccine, Rob. You know, you get the vaccine, and then you still get COVID, and you get it so bad that you're in the hospital. And they go, you would have been dead. It would have been that plus worse. Sure. you look at the terror wars and you see nothing positive out of them, but it would have been another 9-11. I heard that without the tariffs, prices would be even higher. Right, right. It's the

constant corrupt politicians' defense of failed policies across the board. But I think, like, even on another level, you could scratch a little bit deeper there and go, well, hold on, what do you mean by another 9-11 what is like what do you mean a 9-11 because like theoretically speaking like when you say another 9-11 i mean the twin towers are gone right so you're not talking about planes hitting the twin towers again you're saying another terrorist attack and what's so horrible about terrorist attacks is that innocent people get killed right people die and so okay so the war on terrorism, we lost about 7,000 soldiers. So already it's more than two 9-11s worth of military members who were killed. Now, of course, that number really gets changed when you factor in the approximately

30,000 U.S. military members who committed suicide in the aftermath of the wars. So now, Now, like, I'm just saying, like, did you prevent another 9-11 or did you cause many more 9-11s? Now, if you want to bring in the fact, obviously, this doesn't mean anything to Dan Crenshaw, because all those brown people in those countries aren't people. But the death toll is around $4 million, and that's what the cost of war project put the number at. if you go through like obviously the big ones are in in iraq about a million people died in Afghanistan I think it was a couple hundred thousand people died he put about 500,000 in Syria about 500,000 in Yemen you factor in the Libya is really where we don't have the best numbers but I mean it's got to be how many people died as a result of that thing being turned

into a failed state is pretty damn high but anyway the cost of what project they put it approximately four million. So again, the point is, you didn't avoid another 9-11. You committed a thousand of them. So right on the, like, what exactly do we mean avoided a 9-11? Also, there's there's like the, there's conflations between certain things, right? So like, let's say hypothetically there were, like there were a lot of things that were done after 9-11, right, Rob? but so like little things like you're allowed to have a gun on a plane now they lock the cockpit door just locking the cockpit door changes the entire landscape of 9-11 but like if you locked the cockpit door and you're like oh now it's much harder to hijack planes now there won't be another

9-11 you didn't need to fight seven wars you know what I'm saying like like so there might be some things that we've done that might like be like oh this will make it more difficult even if you wanted to count like the TSA or something like that, even though I don't think either of us are going to argue that that does much. But that is nothing to do with the wars. Like, you have to actually demonstrate how fighting those wars prevented another 9-11, because there's no way you can do that. Al-Qaeda grew in number. ISIS formed during the terror wars. The radical Sunni terrorist problem only got worse as a result of these wars. And also, Rob, it did come with a price tag to it. the price tag was about eight trillion dollars now is anyone going to say that that spending

eight trillion dollars on a failed mission made us more secure was that it was that good for our national security then in fact i think many people have argued that the debt is one of our biggest national security threats so look forget the little twitter spat what's really like what's really revealed here is how disgusting this mentality is. And I found this kind of interesting because it speaks to like a more general theme on the show. That is, he's like in this same post, within one post, it's all contained in a tweet. Dan Crenshaw is talking about what a morally reprehensible person I am. And then he's also defending wars of aggression and choice that killed millions of people.

And like, man, one of those is bad enough. But to combine the two together and then think that there's anything, like that you have the moral high ground to judge anybody else. You know, I've seen this over and over again. Like I just had a thing with one of the Babylon B guys about this. Alex Barrensen, of course, who is kind of just sad, and I don't really want to continue our feud at all. But he came out defending the war in Iraq, too. And it's like, to me, why? Like, somebody's going to have to explain to me.

Why is that not a thousand times worse than the worst things Nick Fuentes has ever said? Like, why is it that you guys can sit here and defend men? murder campaigns that were clearly sold off lies. Like, by the way, Alex Berenson, who shares this, Alex Berenson worked at the New York Times while they were lying us into the war in Iraq. Now, when he defends the war in Iraq today, is he defending any of those lies? No, he can't. They've all been exposed.

But he just goes, Iraq is a better place today than it was in 2002. I mean, very debatably, very debatably, is it a better place than it was in 2002? But, like, in order to get to that place, you had to kill a million people, dislocate like 9 million more, lose thousands of American servicemen, tens of thousands committing suicide in the wake. Is life better for them? Is it better for any of their family members? Oh, yeah, yeah, you just yada, yada over the mass murder part. and then go, oh, well, I think the result is better than the beginning. I'm sorry, you are, like, you are a worse person than the worst Groyper.

Like, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to be outraged about, like, sarcasm from young men online, but you guys celebrate, you like, you bloodthirsty monsters, you celebrate mass killing. You know, people objected to what Tucker Carlson said when he was on the show, and he said that, like, what animates all of these people is death. Like, they're in this giant death cult, but they are. They're all in a death cult, man. They go, oh, Hamas is a death cult.

Yeah, it is. You're in one, too. Like, this is, you know, in the world of being offended and clutching pearls, well, like, how about that? How about being offended by defending the mass slaughter of innocent women and children? That seems to be a good place to start. I'm offended by that, Dan Crenshaw. And by the way, I will say, in closing on the response to Dan Crenshaw,

um again like you said the reason why you're wasting time on a random comedian is because i've got a big following and a whole lot of people are believing my bullshit okay fine so you're posting to try to you know expose me or something like that so why not come do it man i mean you chickened out once but like why not come come on the show let's see how it goes let's see You come bring that Dick Cheney bullshit to me. And let's see how that works out for you. Open challenge, Dan Crenshaw. Now, run and hide, Congressman.

Go back to Capitol Hill because you know you don't want any of that. Open invite. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Body, Brain, Coffee.

whatever the middle ground or what was Obama's thing the JV the JV no it was like the medium terrorist the rational the what was his own moderate rebels yeah the moderate rebels quit funding and arming moderate rebels go listen to the

intro of this very show yeah there you go well that was so they were both both those quotes were like in the same thing because when he was pushing the moderate rebel which by the way isn't that that really is one of the funniest government lies ever this is when they were starting the dirty war in syria and uh or i guess it was a year after they had started the thing um but where they said essentially that there were like okay so

we knew the bachar al-Assad was the leader of syria and then they knew that the bin ladenite head shoppers were amongst the resistance but then they tried to convince you that there were moderate rebels in the middle who were going to be able to defeat both sides through their moderation and that like just imagine first of all like when you're talking about a civil war i think by definition anyone who picks up a rifle and jumps into the war can you can't really call them a moderate anymore rob and then like if you were going to say that these moderates are so like you have to make the argument that they're moderate guerrilla fighters who are such, like, killers that they could take out the Assad government

and take out al-Qaeda and ISIS. But they're still moderate. That's the tough. They really try. And, of course, who would be stupid enough to run with that? The New York Times. That's who's stupid enough to run with the idea that we have moderate. So at the same time, when Obama was trying to sell you on the moderate rebels,

he referred to ISIS as the JV because he was trying to downplay, like, the growing threat. of ISIS. So he was like, ah, those guys, little JV guys. And then they invaded Western Iraq and conquered the thing. And they didn't seem so JV. It was a real varsity move that they pulled off when they invaded Iraq. Okay. All right, we should we should switch gears because there are a couple of other things that we wanted to talk about.

If you want to be a member of the live chat, you got to sign up over at part of the problem.com. Great way to support. the show. We really appreciate it. Okay, so there were a couple other things that I thought were

important that we, you know, had not discussed yet this week. One of the major ones is, it's one of these stories that I do think is much bigger than the actual story, but I know you've been following this. James Comey, all charges dismissed. What can you even say about this, Rob? I mean, it seems to me from from everything i've read about it it seems pretty uncontroversial that the story here at least on the surface of it not saying there's not more to it there quite possibly is but at least on the surface is that the prosecutor completely messed up this thing and like all types of like little technical things that are just like that they go ahead well i'm sorry i i didn't mean to i did interrupt you um you're right but you're wrong so

So the prosecutor did make errors, and the biggest error was they didn't show the final document to the grand jury and also promised that there was going to be additional bad evidence that they didn't actually present to the grand jury. That's actually not why it got thrown out. It got thrown out because both this and the Latisha James case both got thrown out because she was not – her status was granted improperly. And so you need to get like actual congressional approval for these appointees unless they're on a temporary basis. And she had overstayed the amount of time that would have been like the temporary basis and they just reappointed her anyways. And so it's very, this is what from my understanding. So it's very technical. The judge basically just threw it out as she's, she's not allowed to be in that position.

Both cases can be rebrought. Right. Comey case is less likely to be rebrought because it's past the statute of limitations. Um, the Latisha James one, I think probably will get re brought. So it actually was like, it's just classic Donald Trump being a loser and that they did something in a sloppy fashion and they can't walk away from a victory on, uh, the Likomi case clearly guilty would have been good to take down someone in the deep state who clearly did Donald Trump wrong. But it's just Donald Trump loser shit that when it, when push comes to shove, they're just kind of sloppy and they don't they don't execute well. Um, so in this one, yes, you're 100% right. The prosecutor did do a bunch of stuff that probably also would have gotten in the case thrown out, but that's actually not why it was dismissed. It was dismissed because of... She shouldn't be there to begin with. Yeah, I think it was actually probably an error by the AG, whatever that lady's name is. Pam Bondi. Yeah. It's just mishandled on every level. And,

you know, there's something, obviously with Comey, you know, the thing that's bigger about this is that, look, we all watched this, okay? They, when they tried to bury the Epstein story, they immediately pivoted to Russiagate. And that's when Tulsi came out with this press conference. She said, we have the proof that Obama committed treason were her words. And, you know, I don't think it technically is treason and probably the DNI should be real, real precise with the language she's using. But some type of sedition, a seditious conspiracy or something like that. Now, obviously, Comey is one of the top people involved in the Russiagate, you know, hoax.

And I don't even like, no, as Donald Trump branded it as the Russiagate hoax. You know, I always, for years, me and you, when we covered this, Rob, I always branded it as a deep state-led attempted coup against a sitting U.S. president. Because I don't, I do think there's something about hoax sounds almost like a little like, oh, you almost got me with that one. whereas like a deep state attempted coup sounds more like the constitutional crisis that it really is. But Comey was, look, the key players in it were Obama, Brennan, and Comey. And then, of course, later, there were, you know, McCabe and ultimately Mueller. And then there were the Strach and, you know, all these other, like, you know, outside figures. But, like, Comey was by far the highest one, the highest ranking one.

that they ever saw any i mean almost nobody has paid anything for russia gate there's the one lawyer at the fbi i who did get uh charged and convicted for for misleading the fisa courts i don't believe he did any jail time though um but everybody else has been fine i guess strapped got fired and whatever but then they uh they gave him back his pension right right right so like really no but so okay now comie now they weren't going after comie for russia gate exactly they weren't charging him with like leading a seditious conspiracy against the president of the united states um but they they did his uh the charge of like leaking classified information was related to the russia gate thing and so it kind of it seemed like an attempt from the regime to at least throw you from

the administration i should say to at least throw you something let's say we got to give some red meat to our base so let's at least give them komey and then of course to watch that whole thing fall apart it is just like look it's like it's it's another just nail in the coffin of the trump era the idea of draining the swamp all of this stuff you know it's like essentially they were like okay i can't drain the swamp but the best i could do is i could get comy for you is that okay oh by the way we can't even get that we can't even in a case where he's dead to rights he clearly did what he's accused of and there still will be no punishment for it. And the biggest disgrace was, at least it was exciting where you're like, all right,

I'm able to start with Comey and they'll go after the other ones, but just sloppy. They couldn't get it done. And believe me, after losing this one, I don't know how enthusiastic they're going to be to go after other individuals and lost it in such pathetic fashion. Didn't even make it to trial. Like, look at what happened to Donald Trump. I mean, there was a similar thing that the Atlanta case got thrown out because the prosecutor was spending all the money on her boyfriend

so that her boyfriend would then use the money and take her out on trips, but that still pinned him down for two full years. Like, they brought a bunch of bullshit cases, but they were able to run with it for three years. The Donald Trump people, I mean, they're just bad executors that there's no reason why this couldn't have been brought sooner.

There's no reason that with the crossfire hurricane and everything that happened, they can't go after one person, and then they bring one lawsuit. It literally gets thrown out within three weeks. Now Comey can go hit the media. circuit and go, hey, look, I told you, I was 100. Firstly, it's funny because the grounds of the case were not even addressed. They just didn't assign a prosecutor properly. Yeah. And I'll say,

I have, you know, who knows what's going to happen, but I have very low confidence that they'll even bring these charges again or that anything, you know, it's like, it's like with all of these things. At a certain point, you got to admit, there is no 40 chess. There is no plan. You're just getting nothing. That's what's actually happening here. We're all better off admitting that sooner rather than later. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Mars Men.

let's get back into the show. Okay. Let's, uh, you know what? Let's, what was the other i think that's a good transition into uh doge being done sure sure yeah you're right and that is a good transition there yeah doge is as officially disbanded huh what a run well what did what did we get what did we get in terms of cuts nothing i love a penny i saw the headline somewhere from the administration that uh while doge has done the uh the value still live on. And I'm like, you guys didn't even do anything while it was there. And you want to talk about one of the early hopes for Donald Trump was Doge. Like that was one of the actual real hopes for Donald Trump was like, wow, they might get this smart tech billionaire to come through all the

government funds and actually reduce spending. And then we found out pretty quickly that they weren't doing that. But then people wanted to say, no, 4D chess. Donald Trump is serious. No, they're going to do it. The things will be implemented. And here you have it within one year. Firstly, S-K scenario clearly didn't come true. Donald Trump wants to spend as much as it. The greatest ever spending more than anyone ever. He wants to spend more than anyone ever is going to make zero effort whatsoever. And he had a mandate on that.

People were very excited by, let's clean up the spending. I don't even think they're going after the all the supposed NGO funding that the Democrats are basically using against mine and yours interest. We had a couple of goofy storylines about things that were going to like trans kids in Brazil. And then I think, I actually, I don't know if that. stuff got refunded but a lot of it did get just refunded um when they did like the next uh the next budget but i mean we're within one year of donald trump's presidency and uh Elon musk walked away from that project and i guess they're formally shutting it down so for everyone that gave me shit

three months ago it's like the COVID stuff you couldn't have been more wrong Donald Trump has absolutely no interest in reducing the size scope or spending of our government yeah and and look if he did obviously as we've said many times he could have pressured Congress to to give him a bill with real spending cuts. And he had all the juice in the world amongst the Republican Party who controlled all of Congress when he first came in earlier this year. He could have done that. And instead, you know, I remember, I know I've told this before on the show.

I try to never, like, you know, give anything away of private conversations. But, you know, I told you, I had dinner with Vivek Ramoswamy. You know, it was short. I got to, well, it was the night that John Jones fought Stepe Miochich. so it was you know shortly after trump had won the election and and doge was just getting started and i basically had said to him you know i said to him over dinner i was kind of like well you know the thing is that you know it's not a real government program and i was hoping vivake would have gotten a position with a little more teeth in it you know what i mean but i said hey well look

the bright side is that what doge can do is it can really insert this this issue of the unsustainable debt and government spending and all this stuff. Like you have an opportunity to like popularize this stuff in a way that no one has before. And so that's pretty cool. And then he was really, he was like, no, no, no, dude, you don't understand. We got tricks up our sleeves that these guys haven't thought of yet. And we got all. And like, he believed it.

I don't think he was trying to sell me on it. Of course, I think a few weeks later, he was out. And then, of course, none of that ended up materializing. But you're absolutely right, Rob, when you say, look, Donald Trump ran on Doge. They were actually, like, talking about creating a department of efficiency in government, like on the campaign trail with Elon Musk speaking at campaign events. So there was a bit of a mandate there. Like, it's not like if you didn't talk about anything at all and then you got it and wanted to do it.

Like, no, the people heard that and you won the election. You had the backing of the people on this issue. There was such big talk, such big talk about how. We're going to cut two trillion dollars in the first year and nothing's off limits, including the Pentagon. And we're going to have, you know, and look, there is, Doge is a thing that hadn't been tried before. It was headed up by the richest guy in the history of the world, who's like this super genius,

you know, guy. And hey, who the hell knows, you know, he had just bought Twitter and rolled back the old regime and this unbelievable power move that like would have been inconceivable even when he started doing it you were like wait he's got to free up 44 billion dollars like how the hell could anyone do that and then he did it um so maybe he could pull something off here at the same time i think we got to be honest with ourselves you know it's not even a year later and the whole thing's disbanded and the cuts are negative the spending has increased not only did they not cut a penny they're like like we didn't even get like we got negative spending cuts we got spending increases and um for now

there there probably was some good in the fact that like yeah it exposed some stuff that u s a id was doing or something like that but overall the mission is a very clear failure and that's something we again that's something we all got to grapple with because reality reality has a way of existing whether you acknowledge it or not just think about how incredible this storyline is of uh all right we got this tech wizard his name's big balls he's going to comb through all the information like nobody ever has there's all of this disjointed way that they're doing the budgeting so that no one can track it we're in month one and we found massive fraud we see money that's just basically being used by the CIA to be sent abroad we've got social security fraud and

then uh we're not looking into this anymore hey yeah guys i know that the government spending too much money, but guess what? I might be able to get it under control if we can just find the fraud. Oh my God, we found so much fraud. You know what? We're going to stop looking at that. Yep. And look, I mean, that's like you said before, the thing that's been very clear here is that Donald Trump does not, nor has he ever had any real commitment to any type of fiscal sanity or any type or to really ever drain the swamp. it's just not like Donald Trump I think it's pretty clear to say at this point

he is not animated by any of the issues that he ran on it's just not really what animates him what he is animated by his own greatness and his own legacy he tells you that himself over and over again then at a certain point you know

when someone tells you who they are you should listen thing that's essentially who Donald Trump is all right let's uh let's transition to uh before we wrap up here because this was i thought was pretty fun um on that theme when someone tells you who they are you should listen and dave reuben has been telling you that he's an idiot for many years now um and so you really should listen to him when he tells you that uh dave reuben of course uh is a guy who you know i'm not a big fan of and he's not a big fan of mine either if you guys remember earlier in the year i uh i i i i i

called him out and challenged him to a debate and he he accepted publicly and then has dodged you know i know that patch bit david tried to set it up i know pierce morgan tried to set it up i think someone else i think maybe it was zero hedge i think someone else tried to set it up too he's ghosted all of them and not responded to their their request so he's not going to do that but we did get the next best thing which is that uh pierce morgan who i would like to think that maybe i've played some role in nudging Pierce Morgan in the right direction. I've sure done a show enough and made a lot of these arguments. But Pierce Morgan sat down with Dave Rubin and they ended up at least a portion of this. I have not watched more than this clip, which is a little edited up,

but I'm assured from a lot of people that Pierce really kicked his ass on this part of the show. But so here was Dave Rubin and Pierce Morgan arguing over Israel's conduct in Gaza. You acknowledge that there's been no starvation, correct? You don't acknowledge it. I don't acknowledge it. Where are the videos and images of the starving Ghazen? Well, I've seen a lot, but you would dismiss them all as fakes. The UN says there was starvation, but you guys don't believe a word the UN says.

The other official bodies say there was starvation. You don't want to hear a word they say. Israel denies everything. You can say that no Ghazan has starved at all. The reports by almost every official body say the opposite, but you don't believe them. However, the best way to get to the truth is let journalists who are used to covering in war zones, let them go in and do their job, particularly. now we have the ceasefire. There is a reason the Israeli government is not letting the media

in. They are terrified about what the world will uncover. I just think that's just not. Let them in. There's one way to find out. A lot of them look fat. They have fresh clothes and fresh airtight. I've seen lots of images of Palestinians of King Hungary. And you wouldn't dispute the 20,000 plus children of die. So whose fault is that? So whose fault is that? Probably the people who killed them might have something to do with it. But again, it doesn't just leave you in this, like, for people who are trying to be, like, who, who attempt to, like, constantly weaponize being offended, is there anything anyone's ever said that's more horrific than this? Like, and especially, and I'm sorry, Rob, but it is a little bit different if you're talking about something that happened 80 years ago. Like, you know, they all get so worked up over Holocaust denial or something like that.

But like, even if somebody's denying the Holocaust, they are denying it 80 years later. Just feels a little bit different than denying it when you can look at the imagery of it. The way Dave Rubin, and genuinely, look, Dave Rubin's genuinely dumb. This isn't a guy who reads. He maybe read the free piece, the free press piece that was like saying, oh, which by the way, it wasn't even saying there's no starvation if you actually read the piece. It was saying that it's only the kids. with pre-existing medical conditions

who are really starving the most or something like that. But he's going to sit there and say, like, I don't know, Rob, you've been on social media for the last two years. Natalie, I'm sure you've been on social media a bit for the last two years.

I might be on a little bit more chronically than you two are. How many images of what's going on in Gaza have you seen over the last two years? And Dave Rubin characterizes that as the kids all look fat and happy. Really? you don't think it's been a traumatic couple of years for those kids like that's i mean just i don't know

what is more disgusting than this these people get morally outraged about other people it's just too much sorry go ahead rob um you know i have had the thought because we've seen images of uh people post holocaust that are human skeletons and we even saw pictures of in yemen when the starvation was going on and there were some horrific horrific pictures there i have seen footage from within Gaza where I'm like, some of these people don't look starving. But then on the same note, we've all clearly seen people getting killed on food lines because they're so hungry. They're willing to be on a food line. And I think peers certainly frames it well, where he goes, well, every official agency is saying that there's a food problem there. Why are you saying

that there isn't? And at first he goes, well, that's just outright. And then I guess he basically concedes it and then goes, well, whose fault is it, which is basically an admission of, well, then that is a problem in the region. Right. Yeah. So it's almost interesting of Rubin to delve in and go, like I'm just saying if you and I were having the argument of there is no food problem in Gaza, we'd probably have the information on that. It wouldn't be from a single image. You would go, oh, actually there's blank amount of food available or you might even have a storyline of how much food is available but has been siphoned off from Hamas.

But it's a little bit interesting to just, I guess, position it as fast. that nobody's hungry in the area with nothing to back up that claim and put it on pears and go, why do you think people are hungry? And he goes, well, every agency is saying that. Why do you think otherwise? And Rubin doesn't really have much of a response. Yeah, I mean, there was that major piece in Heretz, the Israeli newspaper several months back, three or four months ago.

It's a killing field or something like that was the title where they actually had several IDF soldiers who admitted that they were given orders to shoot into the crowd of a live ammunition into the crowd. I guess people are on food lines for the television optics. It makes it to look bad. So they just line up every day. They go out there to get shot at and they don't actually even need the food. Now, to be clear, this was this was a regular occurrence. This was how they were, this is how they were essentially using crowd control is so they would just fire. live rounds at the crowd away from the area where they want them to go and the thing is they're doing this at night and people you know people freak out when you start shooting at them and so a

whole bunch of people start running in different directions a bunch of people got killed and it was like hundreds and hundreds of people it might have i think i read 2 000 people they said died this way died from being killed at the food sites and yet these people kept coming back like think about how hungry you'd have to be to go like imagine you're waiting on a line for a little bit of food and then people start firing rounds of live ammunition at you you'd have to really be pretty food insecure to continue showing up on those lines okay also as pierce correctly points out everybody that looks into every body not one where everybody that looks into this has all concluded that there is starvation in gaza um and has been for quite a while so again

Dave Rubin starts with like, but you do accept that there's no starvation. Like, that's only something in your insane Zionist circles that people accept. Wasn't part of the current peace agreement that Israel had to allow aid back in? Yes. Isn't that a United States admission of the fact that, I guess, aid is needed? Dude, they had a full blockade for three months where they let nothing through. And their finance minister, Smotrich, openly bragged that not one grain of wheat, will enter Gaza, and it didn't.

They did it for three months after almost two years of destroying the place. Yeah, this is totally uncontroversial. So to him, it's, it's just a hoax that we've been led to believe that there isn't enough food war, since it's in Gaza. Israel never did nothing.

That's what Dave Rubin. I'm going to guess all the buildings are still there too. Yeah, that's what gay baby thief, Dave Rubin would have you believe. There's just nothing Israel's ever done wrong. All right, let's keep lying. The 20,000 plus children have died, right?

So whose fault is that? I mean, you don't honestly think that life for a young Palestinian kid in Gaza in the last two years has been anything but utter healthy. I do believe the three-month blockade earlier this year was a criminal blockade. I believe it was deliberate starvation over people, deliberately denying them food and aid. Has any other country in the history of the world been told to feed the people that are killing it? Well, then no other country of the world has had the control that Israel has over guns. was a person which again is a whole separate dude by the way can i just say but dave reuben what

happened with me and him was that dave reuben like publicly was just insulting me and like called me a moron and said i don't know what i'm talking about so then i challenged him and i was like hey why don't we debate we'll see who's a moron and doesn't know what they're talking about and then i went but you're too much of a coward so you won't do it so then he went i'm not a coward i will do it and then he just refused to do it he played that well that was the best way to like that's that was that was very wise of Dave Rubin to not show up. Can you imagine him coming and debating me with this is actually what he's got? It's like how pathetic the line of argument, which goes, oh, well, you expect Israel to feed the people that they're at war with? We don't really expect

that of other people. By the way, Constantine did try to make this argument to me on trigonometry at one point. He was a nice guy about it. So I just said, but like he goes, well, we don't expect Russia to feed Ukraine. And I went, yeah, but Russia doesn't have a blockade around Ukraine. There's never been an issue getting aid into Ukraine. In fact, Ukraine has received more aid over the last three years than any country in the world. So like, yeah, it's kind of different. And like, yes, the, right, it is funny because they'll bring this up as if it's like a gotcha. Oh, see, you have a double standard against Israel. When actually, Rob, what is it? It's like, oh, yes, because you've occupied these people for 60 years and you have a full blockade around

the country. That's why there's a responsibility on you. By the way, not to feed Gaza. That's not what anyone's asking Israel to do. What they're asking them to do is allow the international aid through. The world has sent aid to Gaza. It's waiting outside of Gaza, and the IDF won't let it in. So I don't know. Again, Dave Rubin doesn't know any of this because he just doesn't know anything.

But what a ridiculous defense. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Hexclad. The holiday season is here. and let's get real.

Also, let them know that you heard about them right here on the part of the problem podcast.

All right, let's get back into the show. Here, let's keep playing. Show me another moment in the 75-year conflict where the response has been to kill 60 times as many people. And where you have a, well, hang on, let me finish. where you have a government with people like Smodrich and Ben-Givir who begin publicly, openly talking about ethnically cleansing all the Palestinians from Gaza, about annexing the West Bank, about taking complete control of all of it,

to the point that Donald Trump had to step in and say that is not happening. Random ministers talking about, they're not too of the senior people in the government. No, no, no, but them talking about things is different. I mean, literally, but is there. I hear that a lot. Well, my point is this, you have a unique population. in Gaza, where half of them were under 18, there is a unique proportion of kids in this part of the world, right? So at what point do you try and find a different way to resolve this?

The only solution that seemed to be being offered by Netanyahu, Benghivir, Smodrich, and the others, was to raise Gaza to the floor and to expel Palestinians. Netanyahu would annex West Bank tomorrow. He's been in power for 20-something years. He could have done at any point. Notice he hasn't. I mean, but, well, there's a couple things here. I mean, first of, I don't think any country in the world has ever been asked to feed the people that are holding its hostage, right? Like, have you ever called for any other country to do that or anyone?

Has anyone ever called for that? British prisoners and war and World War II were fed. Yeah. But. Most of the difference. What? Prisoners in war and World War II were fed. So what's a difference?

Because they were holding hostages. They're holding their people. I mean, to me, it seems that you as a British citizen. being held hostage in Nazi Israeli government, which is a hard right government, Smodrich and Bengavira, not just right wing, they're absolute far right headbangers.

Meaning what? Meaning what? They want to ethnic cleanse of Palestinian people. We can it is, it's fun to watch Dave Rubin get destroyed like this, but it really is also, it just, I don't know, it just reveals

something, man. It's just like such a it's amazing how human beings can take such evil positions with such a such a superficial understanding of like what's going on at all and then just like explain away the word i mean like it's like it's so obvious there when you look at it that it's just no matter what it is that they throw at you you're going to go okay i'll explain that away oh here's ben gavir a and Smotritch openly saying that their plan is ethnic cleansing. Oh, random ministers. Random ministers?

You mean defense and finance? He said it almost like it was like a random pastor at a church or something like that. A random minister made that kind of what? It's like two of the three most powerful people in the government. I believe the two most powerful. I think it's Katz, Ben-Gavir, Smotrich, Netanyahu. It was more powerful in the government than that. it's just like you know no matter what oh here's all the reports of starvation nah that ain't true

here's all like it's just that like it's a very weird thing to me to be like as a human being you could get to a level where you're just defending such blatant evil with no knowledge I don't know final word to you Rob uh check out run your mouth I got Kyle Anzlon coming on today for a full uh briefing of everything going on the geopolitics the uh supposed end to the Russia-Ukraine war, Venezuela, money being sent to terrorists from Minnesota money, going into all the stuff. And then live dates out in Denver. You can go to Rob Bernsteincom, click the links, but then go with the event brides.

My whole life's retarded, and they're listed wrong on my website, and I can't correct it. But that's about it. Come hang out. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Eat some turkey. Think of me when you have your sandwich. It's like we're hanging out. There you go.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. And, of course, I'll be off for the month of December from traveling. The show, of course, we'll go on. But 2006, me and Rob will be together on the road. You already got dates up. You got Portland up. You've got Key West. We're going back there.

That's going to be a blast. Philly. Yeah. Philly. And then I think there's one other. Yeah, I think there's a few. Comic-Davsmith.com. And then there should be a bunch more up within the next week or so.

Thanks for listening. Oh, go ahead. I was just going to say that Philly Room rules, and we sold out all the shows last year, so don't sleep on your tickets. Same with Portland. We did a theater last time, nearly sold that out, and that was like two years ago. So don't wait on your tickets for Portland. And then Key West, if you can take a vacation, that's one of the funest places in the country

to be out, roaming around and drinking. So I do recommend- We're literally just going back because we had so much fun there last year. But yeah, looking forward to it. Thank you guys so much for listening. Happy Thanksgiving. Catch you guys next time. Peace.
