Hell yeah, let's hear it for my podcast host, let's hear it for Dave Smith! Hey guys! Oh, thanks guys! Hey Nashville, how are we?

Wow, this is great. We've been having a great time in Nashville, huh Rob? These shows are ruled. This is a cool club. This is a cool club. I heard nothing but great things about Zanies and this is my first time at the Nashville Zanies. And we do the one in Chicago and Rosemont all the time. I'll say this, this is the best one.

That was a hard one. That was a hard one. Now, if you listen to our podcast in Chicago, I did say that there too. but let me tell you, while I'm down here, those savages out there in Chicago, okay? A bunch of animals. I'm never going back there. It's always good to start the show with a nice good pander.

Yeah, that's all. That's all basically I'm doing. You could have done well in politics, my friend. I could. And let me tell you, fine people of Nashville, okay? The fine people, the hard working men and women, that's who I care about. The people of Nashville. Were you guys here for the stand up show? How about Nate Bardetzi stopping by? That was pretty awesome.

I'm going to say on this show that he that he cosigns every political view that I'm about to espouse right now. Now let's look at World War II from the German perspective for a second. It's like all these guys are just messing with you. All you're trying to do is have your living space. I'm just kidding. He's not, please don't ever say that. We're gonna edit that part out of this.

Please. He's my please don't ever say that don't I'm we're gonna edit that part out of this, please He's my backup plan. Okay, if all of this doesn't work. I'm just gonna move in with it. Um This has been fun. Did any of you guys anyone here did any of you guys go to the Bitcoin? Conference I was here. I was man one guy who owns a lot of Bitcoin Dude, I've never like I'm looking out at the audience in the Bitcoin conference. I've never seen, like, such a sea of rich nerds. It's like an unbelievable, like, thing where you're like, these guys really, I'll tell you, there was something really cool about it where, look, there might be, you know, some people are very into Bitcoin, obviously, and that, there's one of them right there.

He owns an eighth of a Bitcoin. And there's, no but I mean there's like, the people who are into, like the people who are going to the Bitcoin conference are like, they're hardcore into Bitcoin. And there was something really cool about it where, as you guys know, I was never like in that world that much. I always liked the idea. I was never like in that world that much I always liked the idea I was always like oh this is kind of cool like the idea of like currency not dependent on the government like I kind of got it then

guys swan really kind of like made me understand it more he's great and there you go he's here but there is something so cool about these people like the people there who are hardcore you know they were into Bitcoin in like 2011 or whatever when it was like the fringiest thing to be into. Like imagine, you kind of imagine like explaining. When they first started the Ponzi scheme. And they first started going out there and selling the internet on this great idea. Yeah, those people, sure.

Anyways, continue. Because I thought it would be the next Bernie Madoff. But, so they're like into this crazy fringe thing. And then it's like, whatever, you know, a Bitcoin was worth when they were like $3 or whatever when they first started it, and it's like $70,000 up. And now you're like, you're having this huge event that Donald Trump is speaking at. You know what I mean? Something for the Bitcoin people. And I'm not one of them exactly. Kind of am.

But it was like, this is so cool for you. Imagine rising to the level, being the fringiest thing. And then everyone's coming to your event. Bobby Kennedy was there, the Vakramaswamy, and Donald Donald Trump was there and it's like partly because they're trying to win over that demographic and partly they're just like will you donate a Bitcoin to my campaign because that would really go a long way for me no one else has any money so no it's such a fascinating win even that Trump had to show up for the Libertarian National Convention. He's talking about freeing Ross Yes

Yeah, which he he said again Bitcoin said again, so he remembers the name right that's a star You know Trump could get in there and be like I said I'd free someone Trump could get in there and be like, I said, I'd free someone. But also that inflation is so top of people's minds and Bitcoin has created a big enough story that is widespread of, hey, here's an alternative to combat inflation, that even Donald Trump running for president realizes, here's a way for me to talk out against inflation. And if he were to actually go through with a policy that mandates the U.S. government has to carry some

reserves. I think that's Bitcoin to the moon at that point. It's definitely got to be good. So what exactly. So I don't know. Do you maybe you understand this better than me. So Donald Trump's

big thing was that he said if he's president he's going to try to have like a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S. government. So what does that mean exactly? That the government's going to try to have like a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the US government. So like, what does that mean exactly that the government's going to buy Bitcoin and just keep it? Yeah, I think we're just going to make like a virtual Fort Knox. I think one of the biggest risks to Bitcoin was the idea that government might try and ban it or that the NSA might actually have the tech to be able to hack it and mess up the ledgers or if you really want to get conspiratorial that it was actually Satoshi Nocomoto was

the NSA. All of the, all right, fine, listen, Guy Swan's going to hear this later and kill me, but for the sake of this discussion, even if they don't actually require banks or the Federal Reserve to keep it as an asset, the fact that they're saying it would seem to platform that they're not going to ban it, and if any capacity banks were required to hold it or the Federal Reserve was required to hold it, I think that would change the entire game of the way even pension funds viewed it through the ETF. It kind of legitimizes it as an asset. And then also if you're a fan of,

of what's his name? I'm so bad with names. The guy who wrote the Bitcoin Standard. Right. Yeah, it kind of legitimizes it as an asset and then also if you're a fan of What's his name? I'm so bad with names. I wrote the Bitcoin standard. Oh Say the Dean Amos, he's great safety and almost so I We weren't way nerdy for being within a comedy club. I apologize. Yeah, I'll be honest I let we were all having fun and I led you in this direct. I really did You're really good. Hi guys, we're all making jokes about Trump and the Bitcoin festival.

You're like, Rob, explain the history of monetary policy real quick. Oh, that'll get him laughing. Yeah. So in his second book, the sequel to the Bitcoin standard, he basically describes Bitcoin as kind of a base layer currency. So if even the United States government was adopting it, there guess some sort of a, I mean we're not really

on the gold standard but they still claim to own gold. But just the idea of the Fed getting involved in Bitcoin. By the way, because I did mention Fort Knox before. Any of you guys ever looked at like the conspiracies on that? Which is pretty, there's nothing there. Like they're basically just like, nah we got a ton of stuff there They're like can we check that it's there and they're like nah And they're like what is it like though? I haven't read about this in so long boys like the last time fort notch was audited was like the 40s or something like that

Like there it is. We just pretend to have stuff. We don't have which I gotta say. I really do admire that Like I do. I really do admire that. Like I do kinda wanna buy Nate, the other day took me to what's called Shields, so I've never been there before. You know Shields like the big like sporting goods store or whatever, and they have these giant safes, like the size of a wall, these big safes. And I kinda wanna get one and just have nothing in it. But just let people who come over to my house see it. You know what I mean?

And just be like, oh, I just want a big safe right there. Anyway, let's go in the next room. I just think there's something really cool about having a big safe that no one's allowed to audit. Yeah. I want to be like the government, I guess, is what I'm trying to say, really. This has all been envy all these years. The United States government is world class

at running a policy skink. So. They are the best. But back to the Trump thing, I think he was even saying that he was going to fire Gary Gensler. And so essentially, all the forces that have been working against Bitcoin, he's at least channeling to the public,

Bitcoin's here to stay, the United States government's going to get involved with it. And so if you were a fan of it, I think that's a very promising news story for one. And for libertarians, it's even more promising that people like Donald Trump have to actually contend with our ideas and try and win over our demographic,

which I think is a big win win. Yeah yeah absolutely. So it's like this weird dynamic with Trump where like one of the worst things about Donald Trump is that like he's just such a boomer that like he kind of doesn't get it and he kind of wants the approval of the establishment like he gets real upset if the New York Times write something bad about him he agrees to do a debate on CNN like if Trump was really savvy and a little younger and a little more it'd be like nah dude you get to choose you're Donald Trump you get you could just decide we're doing the debate

on a Twitter spaces and like make that the new thing you know you could you could choose that the moderator is whoever you want it to be and then just blow them up instead of like giving a town hall to CNN give your town hall to you know like Tucker Carlson or like whoever, you know, like you could just decide who that not even Tucker Carlson because he's already huge, but like you could decide that like David Sacks is going to be the guy who gets your your town hall and be like, well, that's amazing. You know, you and he doesn't do that. But it's almost like the establishment has turned on him so much that he's like, all right, I'll talk to the

Bitcoin. You know what I mean? And there's something awesome about that much that he's like, all right, I'll talk to the Bitcoin people. You know what I mean? And there's something awesome about that. Because he's like, I want to talk to those guys, but they just shot me in the face. So I guess I'll just go talk to these Bitcoin people. I guess I'll go to the Libertarian Party convention. As if there is something.

And look, I don't know. If there's any rule of thumb that I have, it's what's known as the Scott-Horton law of presidents. I don't know if you know, but Scott-Horton came up with this. It's the best rule of thumb. It's not exactly a law. It's more of a tendency. But the Scott-Horton law is that presidential candidates

will keep all of their bad promises and none of their good promises. So if a presidential candidate says they're gonna do five things and two of them are great and three of them are evil, they will do the three evil things. They will not do the two great things. So political promises when someone's running

for office mean nothing. But there's still something really cool about Donald Trump going to all of these groups and saying I'm gonna do this really great thing. It just like kind of puts them on the map and I love that. I think I'm voting Kamala Harris but I still think it's cool that he's doing that. That's all I'm saying. So first is I think the reason why he still goes to CNN or the others for the debates of the town halls is because at the end of the day, if you look at who votes, it's old people and corpses. So you still got to play ball. It's mostly dead people. That's for sure. By the way, there was a story in the New York Times today where the humor editor opinion person

I don't know wrote an entire article about how Kamala Harris's laugh is actually an asset and not a liability for the Democrats I'm convinced that the New York Times is just trolling at this point Like they're looking at internet troll culture culture and they're like, alright How can we just say batshit people like like bat shit crazy things, and stay relevant? That's it. I don't think it's news at this point. I mean, it is the idea of saying her laugh is actually really great.

There's a lot of things you could say. You know what I mean? Like, no matter how crazy it is. Gives great heads to old people. We've got to give her that. Well, it's just, that was better than you guys gave it. But you know, like, it could be the craziest thing that like some like crazy left-wing activist could say.

And you're like, OK, you roll your eyes at it. You're like, you know, trans women are women or whatever. But then they're like, Kamala Harris's laugh is actually great. And you're like, all right, you're lying now. No one believes that. There's no way you believe that. You can't possibly think that's helping.

Listen, I am becoming more and more convinced. See, first, and I'll be honest with you guys, OK, so here's where my thinking's at. I said on the last podcast we did that I still don't think Kamala Harris is going to be the nominate. I think someone else is coming in. Now, when the Obamas came out and endorsed her, it was a little bit worried. Maybe they're really going with her.

But if they are really going with her, then what I'm getting convinced is basically just like after Trump survived the assassination attempt, they were like, all right, Donald Trump's winning. So let's just ruin Kamala Harris. Because we've got to get this bitch out of the way. And so let's just make Joe Biden step down, let's have Kamala run, and then we'll all go, she's going to do really great. And then you could just watch out.

But there is just no way. And I don't care if they're like, look, in the latest polls or look at the money she's raised. There is just no way. I do not believe for a second that there's any chance that this chick is going to get elected. Like, this one? Kamala Harris.

Her greatest achievement. And I actually don't want to take this away from her, because it is a legit achievement to blow Montel Williams. But I don't want to take this away from her because it is a legit achievement to blow Montel Williams But I don't Like that's pretty cool. Okay, that's a really cool thing to do You've never done anything that cool in your life by the way any of you have none of you So you guys would think of Montel Williams now, but no, no, no, that's not who Kamala Harris blew. She blew prime

Montel Williams he was great So anyway, that part was cool. Maybe she'll be president. I don't know.

All right, let's get back into the show. It's incredible watching all the news companies sell her now. It feels to me like I'm watching Don King just try and move the lines in a show. about Beto O'Rourke was that everyone, it was, you know like how they have the thing where everyone in the media says the exact same thing, like they get their phrase and then everyone says the exact same thing.

Like you know, Vladimir Putin led an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and everyone says unprovoked. They're like, why? Like, you know, why would you all just pick the same word or like horse dewormer? Why did everyone call Ivermectin horse dewormer? You didn't come up with another thing. It had to be that exact set. So anyway, but the thing with Beto O'Rourke that everyone would say about him, I'm like CNN and MSNBC, was that he had the it factor.

Like, they're going, he's not it. And then you look at him and you're like, this is the biggest dork I've ever seen in my life. What are you talking about? They were like nah, nah, he's cool Yeah, pulling it half percent, but he's got the it factor It's incredible the way they talk like they don't have to be on the news the next week. I just don't get it I don't get why they don't care about how wrong they are It's it's just that I don't everyone's business model they are. It's just, I don't know. But that's everyone's business model except us. Yeah.

I mean, like not everybody, but it really is like, so like, look dude, all right, I don't know. People in my audience get mad at me when I trash Alex Jones, but I don't care. But it's like Alex Jones, I know they're like, he was right, Dave. Do you know the six things he was right about? Ha ha ha.

I'm like, totally ignore the 400,000 things Dave, do you know the six things he was right about? And like totally ignore the 400,000 things that he was just bat shit crazy about and focus on these sit. But that's the business model. It's just like throw everything at the wall and then if any of it turns out to be right, they go, he was a prophet. How could anyone have known you know what well that is the frogs they listen they weren't even get first of they weren't

gay they were trans he got that wrong well sure if you want to look into it they were actually trans the frogs I've seen so no you guys but like that's the that's like the model it's all this like you know Alex Jones just said last week he was it's gonna be Hillary Clinton I have it from inside sources Hillary But that's the model. It's all this like, Alex Jones just said last week, it's going to be Hillary Clinton. I have it from inside sources. Hillary Clinton will be the nominee. Hillary Clinton is not going to be the nominee.

And Alex Jones will never mention that again. That's just it. I remember watching Alex Jones. I remember watching when it was a, it wasn't, I don't think it was Kavanaugh. I think it was the first Gorsuch, right? It was one of the two of them. But it was whenever one of the Supreme Court justices

was stepping down and Alex Jones went live with breaking news, confirmed that Donald Trump will be appointing Judge Napolitano to the Supreme Court and did a whole show about it. And then he just never talked about it again. He doesn't even come on the next week and go like, listen, we got that one wrong. It's just like never addressed, never addressed again.

It was just like, it says it with complete certainty. I have the papers, we know this for a fact. It never happens. And then he's just like, anyway. All right, here's the next Here's the next prediction also and then all you guys get mad at me when I point that out and you're like, ah, dude He's a fucking prophet. Like he got it. All right He predicted 9-eleven was gonna happen before 9-eleven happened and you're like, yeah So did Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan and Scott Horton and all these guys and you know what they didn't do

They didn't also say that interdimensional aliens are controlling the world. So I like the guys who predict that without the insane part. But I guess I'm the crazy one for, I'm going to get hate for this when we put it out. I know. I don't want to mess with Alex Jones' fans. So to address the new name controversy

of the way that you're supposed to pronounce her name, if you're an Indian pretending to be black, just pick an easier name. What is... That is a fair point. Yeah. Well it is, but listen. Throwing this on us now,

I've heard Kamala for four years, I don't even know what the new thing is, but apparently you and I are racist because we're mispronouncing the funny thing about it is that like it's like who cares how your name is pronounced but it's just like I was always like Kamala Harris and then they're like it's not Kamala Harris it's Kamala Harris and actually if you say Kamala you're a racist and and it's like well now I'm never gonna say it any other way other than that

Right now I will never say anything other than I'm gonna like accentuate it like come a lot But you gone didn't giant in Paris That's your name now How was it school wrestler in the 90s? Oh, how was it supposed to be pronounced? I can't even hear the difference. Maybe that's the inner racist in me, where I'm like, I can't even hear the difference. They go, it's actually pronounced Kamala. And Rob's like, I'm sorry, I can't hear. I can't hear black people.

I'm sorry. It just sounds like a loud pitch to me. I'm not making out any of your words. I apologize. Can you maybe have a white person try it for me? By the way, it is all white people who are saying that, by the way. But yeah, I don't know.

I mean, listen, we'll see what happens. After how crazy the last few weeks are, I'm still like, I think she's going to be out in a couple weeks. But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. They were pretending like, get where you'll be be in and then I'll have to apologize to Alex Jones.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. You got it right. They were pretending like Biden was going the distance until they put him in a debate with Donald Trump. It's still early in the election process.

And you and I have seen how dumb she is. I don't see her surviving and making it all the way to the election. She seems so unelectable, so unlikable, I don't even understand why they tried it other than your theory makes sense that they wanna get her out of the way. Or I'm working off the headlines here,

Seymour Hersh's theory was, I guess reasonable that they forced Biden out because they got her on board with the coup and that she was going to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would make them look bad. And she agreed to do it because they said that they would. So yeah. Do any of you guys know what Rob's talking about? So, so for those, and for those of you guys, don't Seymour Hirsch, who's like a legit real deal,

like like a real journalist. And there aren't that many of them left, but he's like a real deal guy. He's, he's older now. He's like 90 or something, but he was known for like the great reporting on the Vietnam war and stuff like that. And he's not the type of guy who just like makes stuff up. Like if he tells you he's got sources, he has them. And he just ran this piece about how like it was like a real deal coup to get Joe Biden out and that Barack Obama basically forced them and they essentially said we're going to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove

you as president. And Obama told them that they had Kamala Harris on board. Like she's on board with it and we're going to remove you against your will if you don't just drop out of the race. And so my theory on all of this is that Biden didn't agree. And then they just drafted that

letter. Yeah, I think that is without his like knowledge. And then they were like, well, it's out there now and it's a done deal. So what do you want to do? You want to fight this thing? And then we're all going to say, hey, this senile old man did agree to this. He just doesn't remember it.

And then we're going to remove you anyway. And then your legacy forever will just be that. Or you could get on, you know, get it in the Oval Office and say, Yep, that's right, Kamala Harris. And then we'll all celebrate how noble it is that you did that. Like, I think that's what happened. Who knows, but it seems like that's the most likely. But if you just think about how crazy that is, that they threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from his presidency,

to say he's unfit to be the commander in chief. And then when he agreed to not run, they went, oh, you can keep him president. That's fine. You can be the commander in chief for another five months. No problem bro. It's just so insane. It's just as likely that they just tweeted it and he went, wait what's his computer? You're a tweet? Yeah, can I undo that right?

Who cares what a birdie said? The other thing that was fascinating this past week is them trying to pretend like Kamala never had the position of Bordersaur that never existed. You're inventing it. If you ever heard that I don't know why you think it. It's like they're almost trying to pretend like it's like a Bernstein Berenstein Bear situation. You know? No, like it never happened. You collectively you're all misremembering. That never exists.

Dude, it's made, there's some great compilation videos, just like the corporate media, just being like, and she's the border czar, border czar, border czar, vice president border czar. And then like cutting to them being like, border czar? Who ever said anything about border czar? That's ridiculous. It's like they still live in a world where like, wait, people have those clips? It's like they're still dumb-towned.

They're like, wait, we said that two years ago. That was something we said that week. That was my favorite thing about, I used to do a joke about this, but it's an old thing now, but you guys remember Anthony Weiner? If you're not familiar. Hey listen, if I had a dick that looked like that and my name was Wiener, I would think I was supposed to show people. It's not, it's a fair point.

Now for those of you guys who don't, Anthony Wiener was a congressman in New York named Wiener. Anthony Weiner was a congressman in New York named Weiner. And he tweeted a dick pic as a sitting congressman. Now, to be fair, these were the early days of Twitter. No one really knew what was going on. He meant he was trying to direct message a dick pic to this girl, but he accidentally just tweeted a dick pic. A sitting member of Congress named Weiner just tweeted a dick pic.

And then he immediately deleted it. I always thought the funniest thing to me was, you know they don't really understand the internet? Like, you know, when he tweeted his dick pic, I went, oh my god, I just tweeted that. And then you know the second he hit delete, he was like, all right, take care of it. I'm fine.

Yes, woof, close call. But I deleted it, I think we're gonna be fine. And you're like, that's not how the internet works at all. And like, there's 500,000 people have this now. And so he thought it was just, but like that's like the same type thing that you're like, nah dude, that's got, we took that down. No one has that. And you're like, everyone has that. But isn't it, so the, by the way, the Wiener, it's just the greatest story ever in the history of politics. So he, he deletes it, so by the way, the Wiener, it's just the greatest story ever in the history of politics. So he deletes it, but then everywhere,

screenshots of it are like all over the place. The whatever, I mean, I don't even understand it, but I just know that nothing on the internet is ever taken down, really. You can always find it way back, machine or whatever. So they all have it, and then he just denied it. Like, he was just like, I don't know what you guys are talking about that I am pure, that's insane and then they like asked him at one point they were like is that a picture of

you and he goes I have no way of knowing. But it's really nice. Which is such a glaring, like it was such an response. Like, you have no way of knowing. And then the internet's just insane. You know, like, you can't beat them, where they're just like, you know, it's like everything in the background. They're like, well, that's your computer,

and that's a book, and that's your... And that's your kid from Epstein's Island. Yeah, like, they just found everything. Anyway, this was my favorite, my favorite part of all of it was that, and this is why I actually genuinely respect that guy, Anthony Weiner, even though he's not a good person. But there's something you have to, that he, okay, your average congressman, if he's named

Weiner and he tweets out a dick pic, he's going to resign. He's going to go, you know what, I'm gonna have to leave Congress. But Weiner, he hung on for like three weeks and refused to resign. And there were calls from his own party, you gotta step down, you gotta do this, it's such an embarrassment, like this huge humiliation. And he like no and he held the press conference announcing that he wouldn't resign. I remember watching this and he helped he starts the press conference and he goes a lot of people are calling for me to resign but I'm not going to because I

was elected and he goes he goes I have not broken any laws and I have not violated the Constitution and I remember watching that and going that is the most incredible defense for tweeting a dick pic that I've ever heard like that he's right he did not violate the Constitution there is nothing in the Constitution that says you're not allowed to tweet a dick-pedic. Our founders could not foresee this problem that would plague our nation one day. A few days later, he did resign, but he hung on for a while. Eventually, the pressure was just too much, and it was just like, you've got to go. You can't make this up. So then, he's off for a while. Eventually the pressure was just too much and it was just like you got to go. And then, but you can't make this up. So then he's off for like a

couple years. He comes back and he runs for mayor. He runs for mayor of New York City, the biggest city in the United States of America, and he was winning. He was number one in the polls and then then another dit pic surfaced. You can't make this up. This is better than anything I could write. This is all true. If you're not familiar with the story, you can go look it up. It's all true.

This genuinely happened. Another dit pic surfaced. And he was polling number one. He was going to be mayor. And then in one day, he dropped from first place to last place. Like that, and this is just what I think is great about New York, as a New Yorker,

this is what I'm proud of in our city, is that, look, he was polling in first place, and we already knew about the first dick pic. You know what I mean? Like we were willing to move past that, and I was like, hey, listen, man, it happens. And we already knew about the first dick pic. You know what I mean? We were willing to move past that. I was like, hey, listen, man, it happens. You know what I mean?

But then another dick pic came out, and all of New York was like, all right, well, that's just like, you can't. No. Dick pic me once, shame on you. But this can't be a regular thing. But we can't, you can't, like this can't be a regular thing, you know? And he was married to Hillary Clinton's lesbian partner. And then they broke up. They didn't make it.

Because now she graduated to Soros' kid. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, real deep state, deep state marriage. Lizard people stick together. Man, she couldn't, she can't just, she's not allowed to just marry like a normal guy. She's got to just constantly be like in this weird world. I think she likes that world. I think that's what it is. Yeah. She's like, listen, I'm only sleeping with Hillary Clinton either way.

It doesn't matter. This is all just an arrangement. I mean, if you can get your hands on that Soros money, why would you do anything else? He does have a lot of money. I got nothing on that. Oh. Sorry, guys. I just got a text from Tucker Carlson.

Anyway, um, no big deal. Sorry, I just got a call. I don't even have anything need to do this show right now because Tucker's on my phone. So you guys can just entertain yourselves for a couple of minutes. There's something more important happening. No, it's fine.

It's not a big deal. I'll read it aloud. 2028, me and you, what do you say? Yeah. Oh my God. Nah, that's not going to work. You already lied to the mountain. By the way, it was my brother. It's not happening at all.

By the way, you know these live shows, we do questions and stuff. Any questions any of you guys have, we're going to get to you in a minute what it we want to talk about what the Olympics they had a bunch of trams at the Olympics everyone's very upset about that I mean is it shocking news that France is gay if it is then maybe you're the problem try to keep up yeah you guys picked doing the Olympics now why are you surprised listen you guys pick doing the Olympics. Why are you surprised? Listen, you guys know like, you know, I'm with you that like pushing all this trans stuff is like ridiculous and they shouldn't be doing all that but It's so much worse than gay

But I alright listen this might actually this might be an unpopular take I'm gonna go all Alex Jones on you guys here, but I Fuck the Olympus unpopular take I'm gonna go all Alex Jones on you guys here but I fuck the Olympics why you're all just pretending none of you care it's like a bunch of sports none of us watch but then every four years you got to go now we like it we're really into swim races. Like, if it wasn't the Olympics and it was just Thursday, and one of your boys was like, hey, you wanna come over and watch two women swim race? You'd be like, were you kicked in the head?

Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Of course I don't wanna do that. That sounds like the worst thing we could ever do. But then, like, because it's the Olympics and your country's involved, you're like, oh, dude, I'm way into the pole vault this year. Like, I don't know. I don't watch a man jump with a stick.

That's a cool game, right? No, that game sucks. I don't care about the Olympics at all. And I don't care about what dumb gay ceremony they do at the beginning. Why are you watching it? It makes no sense. It's literally a collection of things. Like you're just like, I don't know dude, you want to go watch America vs. France in Flip Cup? And you're like, no I don't, why would I? It's your country dude, Come on. The whole thing's a scam.

It's like a weird globalist world government thing. We all come together and play these games, just like they did in ancient Greece. And you're like, no, they didn't. Ancient Greece didn't really have a limpet. They had people from like five miles away. How far were they? Where did they come on?

Canoe? I don't know. They weren't coming from that far. No one was coming from Africa to Greece to play in the Olympics. And they would have won. Sometimes people ask me why I bring them everywhere. The kid's good. You know what I mean? He's great. He knows what he's doing. It wasn't, is there anything more to say about it than that though? Like what is,

The problem, the, the fatal flaw of right wingers is that like they always, I'm not saying you can't be mad about lots of different things and you can't walk and chew gum but it's like right wingers always fall for like the lowest hanging fruit and then that's what all the energy gets you know like dude have you seen some of the stuff that's coming out on that the guy who shot Trump and like you see how they're tracing his

phone data and where he was in DC meeting it like a kind of FBI building like they just tried to blow your president's brains out on national television and not two weeks later all of the outrage is about some dudes in dresses at the Olympics like fucking focus people You know what I mean? Focus on what matters God damn By the way, could someone get him out of no carb diet? By the way, is that possible?

He's not even fat, but his face is fatted. Sure as shit. Like he literally, he's like, what does JD Vance weigh? What do you think, 200 pounds? 180 pounds? His face is the face of a 400 pound man. What the hell is going on? Is he hiding food in his cheeks?

What's happening with that guy? Just a thought. I'm just trying to help. pound here. How is going on? Like, is he hiding food in his cheeks? What's that guy? Just a thought. I'm just trying to help. This is all right wingers. This is constructive criticism. OK, everyone. Thus far, he doesn't seem

particularly smooth. No, it's not good. You know, the funny thing is you guys see that the clip of his which an old clip, but it's like going super, where he said that thing on Tucker about how the problem is we got all these childless women like running shit and you're like, and then like they're all offended by that, but I will say, I go, I think that's the greatest thing I've ever heard anybody say.

Like that is an excellent point. Childless women should be nowhere near power. Nothing against you ladies. If you don't want to have kids that's totally fine. You don't have to have kids. And if you really don't want to have kids you shouldn't have kids. Because that's crazy. Like that's something's wrong if you really don't want to have kids. Okay then don't. But you don't get to be in any position of power then. There's a dudes you're fine. But ladies if you don't get to be in any position of power then. There's a dudes, you're fine. But ladies, if you don't like there is something about that where you're like you have no stakes.

You don't really care. So like get out of here then. I love that. And they're all beaten up on them for it. They're all like, well, how about this woman who didn't have kids who did sell and sell you know, and you're like, yeah, she shouldn't be there either. What do you want me to tell you? Get out of here. Have some babies or shut up. I don't know.

I remember... What if you're like Michelle Obama and you bought your babies? What's that? Thank you. If you would be upstairs, I'd be like, thank you both again. Now, that's not... We all... Alright, listen, we have fun here, but it should be noted that like a lot of this stuff is just jokes and like the idea that Michelle Obama didn't have babies is not fair.

She got that chick pregnant herself. Now, no. She basically does. She, she did. Don't you worry. Dude, an old friend of mine once said to me, I remember it was the first time when I told him that my wife was pregnant, our first kid, and it was early, it was like before we told people, you know, you kind of wait for the first like trimester before you like tell everybody. But he, he like just happened to text me when she was like eight weeks pregnant or something like that. We weren't like really telling people except our family yet. And

he was like, dude, like you guys are going to be so happy. Like I know you guys are going to have kids over the next few years or something. And I was like, well, since you mentioned that, let me tell you something. Like my wife's actually, we're having a kid and, and he goes, oh dude, I'm so happy. He goes, let me tell you something like my wife's actually we're having a kid and uh and he goes oh, dude I'm so happy. He goes. Let me tell you something I never would have told you before people who have kids don't respect people who don't have kids And although the way he said I was like wait really like not at all he goes not at all And I do feel like it's kind of a secret in a way that like it is but that now like that's not true at all. Do you feel like it's kind of a secret in a way that like it is.

But now that's not true at all. I respect some people who don't have kids a little bit. But like not really. You know. And like there is so better about my life. Geez. No Rob you're great.

I just don't respect you. We're you're an excellent comedian. It's been amazing to watch you grow over the years and you're great. I just don't respect you. You're great. You're an excellent comedian. It's been amazing to watch you grow over the years, and you're great at hosting the podcast with me. I just don't respect you. You know what I mean? I don't exactly mean that, but there is something about that. I do think whether JD Vance was exactly right or not, I'm kind of glad someone said that.

At least get that in the conversation a little bit. Then it's like yeah you should kind of like there is a difference when you have little kids where it's just like or older kids or whatever where it's just kind of like you you don't look before I ever had kids if you had asked me like do you care about the future of America I'd have been like yeah I care about the future of America? I'd have been like, yeah, I care about the future of America. And I would have meant it, but not the way I do now. The way I do now, it's like, no, no, no, that's the most important thing that I've ever cared about

in the history of everything, because my kid's gotta live here. So this is the only thing that matters. The attitude that parents have is much more like, if you had to stab me in the face, but that would guarantee that my kids lived in a great, prosperous, and safe world, and the only way they can live that way is stab me in the,

you're like, okay, stab me in the face then. That's how much it means, you know? And you just, I don't think you have that unless you have kids. And so any of you guys out here who don't have kids like go fuck yourself this is your own John is so we're not a part of it get out get out bring her I'm just gonna be you get the point I'm making all right anyway do you want to do we got anything else are we gonna we got to move to the question

yes let's take questions let Let's take some questions. Anything you guys want. No topics are off limits. I mean we don't have to put this episode up. So you can ask whatever you want to. I can just not put this out. So I'm gonna hold the mic up. There's people all around.

How are you sir? Hi David. You said to focus on what matters. So are you gonna do some more Bitcoin podcast now? Dude, you know, it's really funny as we were talking about safe up top. Yeah, I know safety and I just call him safe because I don't want to go through all that every time I say it. But literally he came out and we did a podcast on like Israel Palestineestine, because he's Palestinian, and has a very interesting perspective on that. But literally, as Rob was talking about him earlier,

I was like, oh shoot, I did say we'll do a Bitcoin podcast, and this is the perfect timing. So, I'll say, Amina, I will text him tomorrow morning, and we'll set that up, very soon. As soon as he's back, we'll set that up and do it. And then I gotta have Guy Swan back on too, because I was just hanging with him the other day. It's been too long.

I love that guy. He is like crazy. Dude, he is so goddamn smart, man. And I just like, Eddie's a great dude. I love Guy Swan. Hey Dave, thanks for doing this. It's really cool that you know. Oh, thank you, man.

You just a question that, we could talk to you. You're only one degree of separation for people that are like down the truck, you know, as of yesterday. Yes, I'm one degree away from people who matter. This is the closest we'll get. My question is, a lot of the problems that we're facing in this country, the world, a lot of it seems stemmed from the disappropriation of them taking our tax dollars and spending whether receiving the NGOs that fund mass migration, weapons

made in factories that are, the weapons that you sent to either Gaza or sent to Ukraine or even making conditions for the Indian- I mean the weapons aren't being sent to Gaza exactly. Well, they're meeting their emissions. They are, they are making them right there, that's true. That's a fair point. They will, their emissions. They are making their way there. That's true. That's a fair point. That is the ultimate destination. Our tax claim have been used to officially assassinate Donald Trump. So if they're misappropriating all of our taxes, why can't we know, collectively get together and say, let's talk about payment.

Well. Internet's a crowd-boon that. All right, let's say, whenever there's anything that's quasi talking about breaking the law, I always gotta be careful about exactly what I say. So let me just be very clear. I do not advocate

that anybody break the law and anybody who ever publicly advocates that you break the law treat them like they're a fed. Okay? Just assume they're a fed and they're trying to get you into some thing. Now in a hypothetical conversation Now, in a hypothetical conversation, that only works if you got big enough numbers. You know what I mean? So like, if there is, let's just say there was massive civil disobedience on a huge scale, then that would be very, very effective. But if it's on a small scale, they will do anything they can to ruin you to make sure more people don't get on board with that too.

So that's kind of the essence of why what I'm in is the world of spreading ideas because we just got to get... So a lot of people have woken up over the last few years particularly, but we need way, way more. Can we ice block a challenge? We said can we ice block a challenge? So wait, what is that? But we need way, way more. We ice bucket challenge it. It's not. We say can we ice bucket challenge it? So wait, what is that? And then just like, I was just hoping I could repeat it and you could take it from there.

No, it was really funny is that he said it and I went, huh? And then Rob goes, he said ice bucket challenge. I was like, no, I heard it. That wasn't the issue. I just didn't get it at all. He started off real cool and informed and then he took it to TikTok. So I don't know what he's talking about now. You know what? Yes, we can.

All right guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is black forest supplements. I want to tell you about N M N. This isn't just any supplement. It's a game changer. A recent Harvard study, which you can check out here showed that NMN can help reduce weight, cholesterol, and even blood pressure in overweight adults. The FDA is attempting to change the status of NMN supplements to be classified as a drug, which would allow pharmaceutical companies to control it. The move is not based on the efficacy or safety of NMN. Instead, it's aimed

at cornering the market and taking the supplement away from you. But at part of the problem, we don't like those feds too much. So for our listeners, they agreed to an amazing buy to get one free deal just for our fans. This stuff isn't cheap, so it's a great opportunity to stock up. Black Forest Supplements is ready to fight for this They want to ensure the people have access to NMN But who knows there might come a day when agents are at black forest door trying to stop them from selling this life-changing Supplements, so you got to go check out the link and grab some for yourself right now Go check them out at black forest supplements comm slash Dave. That's blackforestsupplements.com slash Dave. All right, let's get back into the show.

Hey, and I've been listening to you since 2015. Oh, nice. Thank you so much, Drew. Obviously you're writing on so many things. I think one of the- I think you mean everything, but yeah. Also, we're forced to launch you like develop, especially coming to that? And I think one of the biggest challenges in our society is like true masculinity.

They being part of the femininity. We talked about that a little earlier. We've been more veterans and we talk about like the... Thanks. We talk about being peaceful, but not harmless. Yeah. I think you kind of touch on some of that stuff. I grew up being peaceful.

And it's awesome when you kind of touch on that. And I wonder if you could maybe talk about how that fixes our society a little bit. Yeah, well, that's good. I mean, Jordan Peterson had some of the greatest, before he signed with the Daily Wire this you had one but that was like one of his greatest like you know points ever right because it's totally true that being being harmless as a man is the worst thing you can be it was a worst thing you can be that's that's

you're a baby essentially right you're like nothing you're totally weak and like what you really want is to have like total like capability of being like deadly but then only using that for good and not for bad that's like the highest ideal and you know I I gotta say again like this is kind of against my own interest to even talk like you when I was trashin Alex Jones before I know who my audience is. I know that doesn't win me fans, you know, like it's like I, I'd be way better off for my own incentives just say, look at what Alex Jones was right about, you know, and look at all this. But I just like, but I will in

the similar spirit, I do feel like there's been like this insane, you know, like a sustained establishment attack on masculinity for many decades now. But then like the kind of reactionary movement against that is like also just, you know know like the the Andrew Tate like type stuff where it's almost like this caricature of like well let me tell you what masculinity is it's having six Bugattis and banging every chick and like being top G and all this you're like dude shut the fuck up this is this is the gayest shit I've ever heard in my life Like how all you're convincing me of is that you like dudes That's the only takeaway I have for many of this

You're like what is it your seven-year-old version of what it is to be a man like that sucks, dude All of that suck and I'm not even like listen I've heard Andrew Tate say some things where I was like he nailed that, you know And that was great but I'm just saying like more and like the bigger picture of like what it is to be a man is like dude the highest value of like being a man is like like protection and Provision that's like what it is to be a man to like protect and provide for the people you love and that If you want to have a healthy society

Protect and provide for the people you love and that if you want to have a healthy society That has to be like crazy value like that should be rewarded Everybody and like I don't give a shit. Listen man, like I've I've uh, I Have come like I'm doing pretty good. Like I'm making good money and stuff I don't like any insane but like I'm doing very well for myself and I was like Dead broke for many many years and like I could just tell you that like having a fancy car is Like or anything like that. It's just like the most meaningless thing It's just like I'm not saying like if you're really into cars and it means something to you to have like a cool I'm not saying like you can't be into the thing you're into but none of that matters at all

You know what? I mean like it's just like that's the biggest waste of time It's like leading people down this journey that will end in nothing, you know, like you think that's gonna be fulfilling It's like trying to get laid a lot. Okay. Yeah, you think that yeah as a little boy You think that'll be really cool then go do that I find out how empty that is it means nothing and you just become more and more miserable as you chase all that stuff And so to me it's like what we really need is like the real like true masculinity Which is actually like like we all know what it is already. It's always like your wise like

Grandfather was never like, when he said, listen son, what matters is that you bang a lot of hot chicks and drive fancy cars. You know what I mean? That's not what actually matters. None of it matters. That's all stupid. Like what really, you know?

The thing about the highest level of masculinity is that it's like, yeah like you could kill that fucking guy But you don't because he didn't do anything to you You only do that if someone was like posed a threat to your wife or children and then you fucking kill him immediately You know what I mean? Like that's the highest level of like mask water So they really good question. I like what should have a better answer, but Kill people is what I'm trying to say. Where are you, Rob? Right here, right here. What's up, dude? So, I'll just say I'm real good for Columbus here, but the fame, there's obviously like an old personality around him. Yeah.

So, like, he pitched 80 bands and Edward Maggabray seemed very fucked up. He pitched 80 bands, like, he could do no wrong. Right. Yeah. Of course. He was a fan base. But, so let's say Trump doesn't win or he doesn't run for four years and we're still having elections, still living somewhat for the same country right now

What do you think goes on with those Trump people? Do they get back to more critical they think about do they like or is like let's leave it Trumpy time support another hot Dude, that's such a good question and I really do I just have no fucking idea You know and like the thing about it is that it's not, Donald Trump doesn't really deserve to be president again. And he really, like there's enough things that he got wrong,

like so wrong that he does not deserve that. But the other side deserves to lose so much more than he deserves. Like they just have to lose. You know what I mean? And like for so many reasons. But like, I mean, there's just like you could just rattle off a few of them. But like, look, Joe Biden and the Democrat, not Joe Biden, you know,

but the whole Democrat, they went all in on forcing everybody to get that goddamn jab and they were totally fucking wrong. Like, like, I don't know, dude, looking at, look, looking at the evidence, maybe you could make an argument, maybe that there was a very small demographic of people who it made sense to get the COVID vaccine. You know, like, like if you were like old and sick and had never had COVID, maybe you got some protection for like a few months from getting that thing.

But that's it. Nobody else should have got. The idea that like a young, healthy person should have taken that vax is insane. You were taking way more risk on than any benefit that was gonna come from it. And they went all in on that. Then they went all in on if we arm Ukraine, they can win. And then they fucking weaponized the justice system against Trump, like they just tried to arrest their political opponent and get him locked up. And just for that alone, your party deserves to lose

like four elections in a row. You know what I mean? Like it's the only way to clean it up. The problem is that the other side are these guys and you know I know I understand where it is. It's almost like out of like a desperation that people and just by the nature of humanity Like the nature of the beast people want to just be on a team. That's the leader. We're all behind him He's our guy, but did you see just uh literally just earlier today? I saw the clip of Donald Trump saying that

Cops should have full immunity And it's like Damn, man. You're like man. I mean that other side still deserves to lose more than you But like anyone who even says that Fucking retarded shit also deserves to lose. You know what I mean? I'm like, okay, they deserve bruise more than he deserves to lose But what the fuck are you even talking about, dude? Like, he didn't even say qualified immunity. I don't even think he knows what he's saying. He said full immunity.

Like, what, they can just do anything? Oh yeah, agents of the state should be allowed to do whatever they want to do to American citizens and never suffer any consequences. Yeah, that's a really good plan, dude. Like, I'm like, I just, all of it is just so disgusts me and so like I don't know You know like there is a part, you know, I said on stage earlier. I'm voting for try I was like joking around

I don't really know what I would do like maybe honestly if you got me in a voting booth on election day I might just vote for Trump just cuz like fuck them and they deserve to lose more than anyone else But I'll like I think what we got to do is it's just kind of like Like I'm never gonna be the guy who just falls in line and says yeah Trump's right about everything because come on Like why who again like to your question about like masculinity like who the fuck would ever want to be that as a man? Like that's a that shows a real crisis in masculinity too, that any man is ever looking at another man and going like, he's my leader and he's right about everything.

Fuck that, especially this guy. Like yeah, the guy who kept Fauci on the job for all of 2020 is the fucking greatest guy. I'm like, Get out of here. So anyway, I don't know, it's all bad. You know, where they go after Trump is a fascinating question. I think that's probably the most interesting question. And I don't know what the answer is.

What I do suspect, which is good, is that I don't think they're ever going back to the Republican establishment types. I think it's gonna be some type of populist, you know, like nationalist figure. Hopefully someone good gets in there. You know, I don't know if Vivek could be that guy. I would love it if he could.

I don't know. There's a very specific skill set that you need in order to actually be the guy who can lead that type of movement? I don't know, but I hope it would be something like that. Like someone who could like combine that kind of like anti-establishment populist thing with some ideas that actually make sense, you know what I mean?

So we'll see, but that is the right question. Dude, we'll see where he's at. I'd be real interested in that, you know? Yeah, look, I like the guy a lot. He's super, you know, it's almost like sometimes I feel like I hold things against Favac that aren't fair to hold against him. Like he's almost so polished that I'm like, are you full of shit? You know what I mean? But then I'm like, I agree with what he's saying,

but I'm just like, you sound too good when you're saying that. But I do think, look, if nothing else, he's at least inserting so many important ideas into the national conversation. So I hope he keeps going. And I tell him that every time we talk. Well, well.

I'll have him back out any time he wants to come back. Dave, Joe Syabanker, Chairman of the L.A.'s Party in Tennessee and the ad for me. Does this feel good? Oh, alright, awesome. Thank you for coming to our great stake. I just wanted to say, could I get a retweet? I personally am supporting Clint Russell and the Redhead of the territory. Let's present present to Canada and to St. Joseph as we understand reaching the remnant and we're activating the Ron Paul movement here. After I win re-election as state chair I will be continuing Angela's work at National as the national chair. Can I get a retweet from you sir? Well that's weird like

like just in life like right now? Alright, retweet it. Yes. Wade, so you're supporting, you're saying you're supporting Clinton and Josie like in... Clinton and Josie have agreed to run the presidential ticket because they understand the mission of activating the remnant. We are putting them up as an independent, me personally. Oh. The remnant sounds like a militia. I just want to say that. I like Josiah, but this sounds like a militia. I just want to say that. I like Josiah, but this sounds like a militia. That's a bad ass militia name. Let me say. Well, we are collecting signatures for them.

We are collecting signatures for them, and I know you love Clint. You love Josiah. I love both of them. Yeah. Both of them are absolutely great. And I love Angela, and I love everybody. You know, I'm like... I'm going to take one more and then we're gonna roll. I'm a little bit down on everything right now, if that makes sense. And I don't, I always say I hate pessimism

and I hate like, and none of that black pill shit here, you know, like it's always like, I'm optimistic about the future. Cause I got kids, I have no other choice. That's the only option. There's no option to be pessimistic. Like that's it. We're going to win and now we're going to figure out how we're going to win. But I will say like, you know, some of the stuff with the Libertarian Party is, I love Libertarians. I totally understand how, I'm a member of

the Libertarian Party and for a reason, because even what we were just saying about Trump, it's like, okay, we can't just go, no, we'll support this guy. It's like somebody at some point has to plant a flag and be like, no, this is what we actually should be doing, rather than just constantly being in this you know, like continuous cycle of like, you know, one party or the other. I feel like I'm always in the position of having to give like,

like a bitter pill to the Libertarian Party members and be like, no, you need to swallow this medicine because that and one of the things that's just been wild to me has been watching and I have not engaged in it at all. If you've looked at my like, if you follow me on social media and I have not engaged in it at all. If you've looked at my like, if you follow me on social media, I have not. I don't think I've commented on anything regarding the Libertarian Party since like the week after the convention. And then I mean, I had Brian McWilliams on the show and we talked a bit about it, but I'm just kind of staying out of it. But the amount of energy that I've seen from so many members of the Libertarian Party on social media talking about whatever the latest thing in the Libertarian

Party is, like, it's like, well, Chase is the nominee, but he wasn't on this ballot, and they're doing a thing with RFK, whereas that's not what the party's supposed to be doing, and this happened at the LNC, and this happened over here, and people like all day tweeting about it. And I'm talking from every camp. Well Mises Caucus, listen, are Mises Caucus included? Like all of these people are. And you're like, dude, the last three weeks have been the craziest three weeks in modern American history, dude.

Like the fucking presidential front runner got shot in the head. The president of the United States dropped out of the race. Like all of this. And if you care more about what's going on with like your state libertarian party affiliate, then what's going on with your nation? Then why the fuck should you ever be in a position of power in your nation? Why should anyone ever put you in a position

to actually care about? And so it's like, my message has always been to the people in the libertarian party, like hey man, party politics is one thing, but that's like 17th on your list of priorities, dude. Like, what really matters is what's actually happening around you. And so that's like just whatever you're

doing in the Libertarian Party, that's just what I would stress the most. Like, engage in the real fucking world, not your own dumb little world about who's arguing over who controls this irrelevant third party which by the way I want my people to control that irrelevant third party very much but but yeah but anyway that's kind of my like message on the whole thing and where I'm at all right guys let's take a moment and thank our

What Rob, where's a, who we got next? Thank you very much, brother. I appreciate it. Just tell your call. I'm going to hold them like I'm going to hold it. Robbie just says sit back down. Dave, I love you. I heard about you on Joe Rogan's show, probably maybe a little bit. You found me from Joe Rogan? You're the first one. I know.

It's crazy. It was an obscure spot by the right cast. this obscure Spotify broadcast. But hey, you've mentioned during the show that there had to be that one person, that one person who was going to take the ring of power like Lord of the Rings and throw it into the volcano in the war. volcano and warthorne. There is my question. Alright, so there's Trump there's Kamala Harris or whoever is going to replace her. There is, well

we'll throw kidney and chase into that next, but here's my question. Beside yourself who would be that person who would step up and throw that ring into the volcano of Mordor? Ron fucking Paul, baby.

The only one I've ever seen. Listen, I will say, I love the movie. I don't think that's the way it's gonna happen. You know, I don't think anyone's gonna get the ring of power and throw it in the, I think it's a great metaphor and that that's the only way, you know, like the power has to be destroyed. But I think that the only hope we have is kinda like

the model of the Soviet Union collapse. You know, it's not gonna come exactly from the top, We have is kind of like the the model of the Soviet Union in my apps, you know It's not gonna come exactly from the top like just deciding Someone gains all the power then decides they don't time anymore it's gonna come from the fact that like there's this like Decentralization and people are like Balkanizing and splitting apart and they don't they don't respect the power anymore. And then the powerful, because if you read Michael Malice's book,

The White Pill, which is great, and it's such a good book, it was the best thing he ever wrote. All the rest is garbage, but that book, that book was really good. And it's a real interesting history where at the end of the Soviet Union, as the writing was on the wall, that it's like, oh, this whole thing's coming unglued.

And you got to think like Soviet Union controlled half of Europe for like six decades. And they, there were people at the top who were like, no, we're not going to let them split up. We're going to force them back in. Like they put down the revolts the way they had previously. And then eventually there were people who were just like, nah, we're just going to force them back in. They put down the revolts the way they had previously. And then eventually there were people who were just like, no. We're just going to let them go. And I think something like that really could happen. And it doesn't even have to be the United.

It doesn't have to be National Devoors or the United States of America actually breaking up. But it's got to be some form of DC losing a lot of their power and their power going in like different directions. You know, like it's not, it's not going to be a perfect anarchist, like utopia or like every individual becomes a sovereign. Like that, you know, that is kind of the ideal, but something where it's like at least like a lot more federalism or a lot more decentralization and something like that.

So I think it's actually more like the ring of power is only given power because everyone on the bottom allows it to have that power. And if everyone on the bottom starts taking that away, then the ring itself is destroyed without anyone having. But I would just say the mentality of who's gonna go grab that ring and then destroy it and I just don't think that's the way it's gonna work but if Ron Paul's the only guy I

ever saw who I thought maybe would be that guy if I see another one I'll be the first to let you know but I didn't see an anyone else since then and it's definitely not me. Back left corner Mr. Smith. All right how we did Rob you know how like what how we are on time? What time are we supposed to wrap? You're the boss but I say let's take three more. Wait I'm the boss? You're the boss my friend. All right we never wrap. Okay we got a few more questions. Where are you, Rob? Over here. Oh, there you are. Thank you.

By the way, can I just say for a second, that was the phoniest thing I've ever done in my life. I just went, where are you? And he goes, over here. And I didn't find him at all. I just went, there you are. And I was just like, this will buy me some time and then I'll find him. But I didn't see anything. Oh, there you are, sir. Mark that. Okay, I got you. Hey.

Given the fact that Tom LaHarris hates everybody in this room, Chase Oliver probably does too. And that Trump said he would pardon Brawl's, do you think libertarians just this time should vote for Trump? Sure. Sure. You know, if you want to. I mean I don't know.

The thing is that like with voting first of all who even knows if it's real? Pick a gang. I'm gonna take yours and then I'll go up. The calculation also really depends on where you live. You know what I mean? Like there's so many, like if you're in a state, if you're in a state where you're in a deep red state or a deep blue state, yeah, well I'm saying that it doesn't really matter so much who you, yeah, I'm gonna really exercise my one in 160 million, you know, like influence on this thing.

So I think in that case, there's a really strong argument to vote for a third party just to kind of send the message. If you're in a swing state, I could certainly see the argument. The problem is this, and this is something that always upsets people, that people don't like to hear, but that it's not always the case that the best thing for a Republican or a right-winger

or something like that or a conservative is for a Republican to be president. Sometimes it's better for them for a Democrat to be president. And sometimes it's way better for left-wingers for a Republican to be president. And so there's just a lot of calculations that it's like, it's kind of hard to say. I mean, look, if you think about the last, the four years that Donald Trump was president was like, there were some things that were good that came out of it. I'm not like denying that. He got like some really good deregulation

in the energy sector. He got some tax cuts that I thought were good. He stopped arming the anti-Assad rebels in Syria. He, at least after surging in Afghanistan, put the plan to end the war in Afghanistan in place. Biden totally fucked up, but did end, you know? And there were good things, but I mean, it was the biggest fundraiser

for the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL. It was the biggest ratings for CNN and MSNoverty Law Center and the ADL is the biggest ratings for CNN and MSNBC or recently. And so I don't know. And then it culminated in 2020, the worst year in modern American history. So I don't know. Is it so clear that that was good? I don't know. I really like I don't I never tell anyone like what you

should do or what you who you should vote for. There's it there's just like it's such a complicated calculation. The only thing uncomfortable like telling people that what they should do is I think you should get married and have kids and love the shit out of your kids. That's the only thing uncomfortable telling you to do. Anything else, I don't know. Or have a meeting, but if you're determined to vote for Donald Trump, I understand the argument.

Or sleep with Rob after a show. Just putting it out there, it's not a show. You should do that. You should, ladies, you should sleep with Rob. Fellows? Yeah. Some more, as well. You should. You should sleep with Rob.

It'll be the best thing for your marriage. All right, boys. Single, single ladies, go sleep with Rob. It won't kill ya. I'm just talking about it like your dad who's trying to convince you to be nice to another kid. It won't kill you to just flirt with Rob, all right? You've done worse.

Nothing next. Good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good-good- good-good- good-good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good- good them over the past couple days switching stances on digital currency and how much of that while the Democrats switching sounds yeah there's some pop up voices out there politicians like switching sands on it oh there is a letter I don't know how real it is sort of like one of the heads of the DNC like basically saying hey we should first would first put hair stands on this, seemingly to try and get voters. And how much of that do you think is genuine? And how much of that is really just,

Trump just went into the big quiet convention and gave a decent speech, I guess. Well, you know, honestly, I didn't even know about that. So that's, I don't know if I could have a strong opinion on it. I'd say that obviously everything in an election, not just in an election year, but the last few months before an election, it's all an attempt to get votes. I do think that there is a massive realignment going on right now.

And I do think that there are people, high up in the democratic establishment, who are starting to recognize that it's like, hey, we got to have some positions that are popular. Everything we say can't be something that everyone hates. It can Like it can't just be like we think your kids should be trans that can't be our whole like campaign And so that's an interesting, you know, I just don't know enough about that specifically to know like how genuine that is You know, it's all everything politicians say, you know, you take with a grain of salt but I do think that there is like there it there is a all but I do think that there is like there is there is a like a group of people within the Democratic Party who are like hey we gotta like have like a few issues that are like you know popular amongst people that we can run

on and then we could go do all the evil shit we want to do but I yeah so I don't I don't have a good answer for that because I just don't know enough about it all right last question from the bleachers last question They can first of all have a two-year-old one Now congratulations man, that's awesome. Hey, yeah, it's like for you. I Just you know, we're Millennials and like everyone at the table all of our parents are boomers and Just seems like every boomer just those their undying allegiance to Israel like no matter what and Just kind of want to hear your thoughts elaborate just seems like you know

It's a kind of a Christian view, but it seems like bad theology Like this is a sigh-off like how and this every single boomer just throw their dying allegiance to Israel? Well, look man, if you're talking about, like, is the view that, like, that Jesus won't come back until the Jews control all of Israel, is that a Psy-Op? One thousand percent. Yes, that is, it's the most obvious Psy-Op in the history of ops. But the thing is that the Boomers, we live, even for people my age, because I'm 41. And so I was around way before this time of the internet

and all of this. And I remember the old order very, very well. But I didn't grow up in it my entire life. And so like boomers grew up in the world where it was the newspapers and the three networks. And that's where you got information from. And everything else was just something your crazy uncles telling you,

but those were the experts, you know? And so look, the entire story of Israel was always you know laid out for them as like just this hey you know like what it's always the story I grew up with it's like I don't know dude the Jews got totally mistreated everywhere they were and then they were like well can we just have this like little strip of land here and be our own nation? And it was a land without people for a people without a land, you know? Who could argue with that? Who would try to fight? There's a people who have just been totally like, you know, they were

genocided and mistreated and just totally oppressed and then all they want was this little land where there are no people. This was the official story. Like I'm not even making, I'm not exaggerating. That is the slogan. Like this is it. And then they just went there to this land where there were no people. And they were like, we're going to start our little thing here. And then all these crazy Muslims just attacked them

for going there. And don't they have a right to defend themselves against those people? And that's just so ingrained in boomers' heads. And if that was the real story, it totally makes sense to have the feeling that they have. Like, yeah, fuck that. They should defend themselves.

You know, there's just some pesky details when you start actually reading the history about it, where you're like, oh, none of that's true. And so it's good that I think younger people are much more aware of this. You know, today, there's all these you know, there's all these debates. I mean, I've done like a bunch of the like debates on Israel and that's just me.

I mean, there's been so many more than that. But even now in like, like now, none of that can stand. But that is literally like, that is what our parents grew up knowing of the history, cause it was totally controlled and that's the way it was presented like now even when you have these debates, you know, whatever when you have like Like, you know whoever like Benny Morris or will be in a debate or something like that or like that. I remember that fucking

Destiny guy or whatever, you know, like the most just like just destiny guy or whatever, you know, like the most just like just bullshit dishonest guy who doesn't believe any of the shit he's saying himself, but it's just like racing in some exercise to like let me see if I can win these points and get over how bad I feel about whatever his personal life is. But even them, like they don't, they can't pretend that's the story anymore. Even they have to admit what the real story is and then just constantly be making excuses for it. Like yes, all these people did get kicked out of their land

and yes, they have been occupied ever since, but it's justified because reasons. And once you've already done that, it just gets very hard to defend, you know? It's like, I mean, like this is not maybe a little bit of a caricature, but not much of like what the argument is now, it's like, yes, Israel has been occupying these people since 1967.

But they really don't want to, and they just had to. That's kind of the argument. And human beings are incredible. And especially people who have high verbal IQs, like that guy does have, undeniably. It takes a certain talent like rattle off the gish gollop shit you know and like rattle off 75 different things as fast as you can but look man that's just for the most part it's like how can you

really even sell that story you know it really is like on the level of saying that like hey we have slavery and we kind of want to abolish it but we just can't we have to enslave these people. And like, it really does suck, but we just got to keep it going. It's like, human beings are very good at rationalizing things and coming up with whatever the mental gymnastics necessary to justify something.

But as soon as you give up on that boomer propaganda, you see it. It's like the floodgates are open. You just can't. you just can't you just can't and like at a certain point like anyone who looks at that goes like yeah yeah yeah but you can't enslave people sorry like I don't know like I'm not even saying like you don't have to be against Israel you don't have to like be pro-Palestinian but any reasonable person could look at it and go hey you

gotta let these people go you're not allowed to do that, period. I don't care. I don't even care if it was like a group of them were real bad or a group of them killed a whole bunch of innocent people. You don't get to keep 5 million people captive forever and then fucking bitch and moan when they break out and do something to you. Sorry, can't do that.

And so whatever the solution is, it's gotta be first and foremost, let these 5 million people go, you know? And so that's, I think that's the big difference. And I, you know, I would just say you can't overestimate how much it was like, you know, when you talk about like our boomer parents, you know, the new historians, that's like the, the like what they call the group of Israeli historians who started basically in the 80s. They got like a whole bunch of like declassified documents and started going through it.

That's what Benny Morris blew up from, and a bunch of other like great historians. And before that, they just claimed none of it had happened. Before the 80s, the propaganda was none of that's real. There was no Nakba. No one was kicked out. They all voluntarily left, and the Jews were begging them to stay.

But they insisted on leaving. That was the story. And people bought that. It's the same as the way you could control information and previous things, like you know, ridiculous claims, like we landed on the moon. Like you used to be able to, we used to be able to get away with a lot of shit, but the whole story was that all of that was,

was Arab propaganda and that none of it happened. And then all the declassified documents came out and now no one can really argue that anymore. So it's like a slow process, but it is, uh, those boomers also they get like an emotional attachment to it and it takes a while for them to ever wake up but you know at least amongst the young people I do think no one's really buying this bullshit anymore. Like it's just it is what it is. And that doesn't mean you have to jump over to be a reactionary shit. You know just because you hate feminism you don't have to be Andrew Tate. You know like just because you hate this propaganda doesn't mean you have to go fuck the Jews or something

You know what I mean like all that's stupid and that really is just only helping the other side Because that just like it's like dude I get it all the time on Twitter where I'll talk about something about how evil Benjamin Netanyahu is or the government is and then You get like someone like replying to me and it's like yeah Because the fucking Jews control the thing and you're like you realize you're helping them right like you're not helping me this this just hurts me that anyone on one of mine they go then they get to go look your followers hate Jews so like just let's not be retarded like you don't have to

hate Jews you don't have to hate any group of people but you can also go hey you gotta stop slaughtering innocent people there. That's not okay. Anyway, listen, thank you so much for that. That was a great last question to go out on. Dude, I've had so much fun here in Nashville. Thank you guys so much for coming out.

I really, really appreciate it. I promise you guys, I'm gonna be back here every year going forward. I love you guys so much. Have a good night guys. Thank you. Blaine the Firebird is the man writing Love Not Rare. you
