Why are the media lies so blatant and careless? Eric Weinstein said it best. They're not trying to fool you. They're instructing you on what is permissible to say in polite company.
(((Agent Smith ))) is keeping you trapped in the Judeo-Matrix ! Every comment exposing Dave Smith or Max Blumenthal is deleted in less than 1 minute , on ANY channel : somebody explain this !?? I've been trying to expose them since Oct 7 , but YT keeps deleting every negative comment against Dave S and Max B.
When you view the world through a liberty-and-limited-government lens, it's pretty easy. It's the people that believe nonsense and have disdain for your and my liberty who have to be SUPER smart to make their BS sound even half-way reasonable. People say that Ron Paul is some kind of super genius, but what's really going on is when your principles are sound, the world is greatly simplified, and your predictions are usually spot on, because you have a pretty straightforward way of analyzing politics. You don't get caught up in partisan bickering over whether to spend $99 billion or $100 billion on another war or big giveaway program or big pork-barrel program. You piss off both sides by saying "How about 'No?'" or "How about $0?"
Been following dave for a few years his takes are mostly always spot on. Him and some other prominent libertarians like scott horton and Tom woods are also great.
Dave Smith is my favorite guy. I came across him during covid and he radicalized me to libertarianism. When i first watched him in 2021 he had 44k subs and he seemed very small. Now i see him on interviews all over then place and his rise in popularity is so well deserved and i can't wait til he reaches 1 million subs on youtube!
I'm a moderate liberal and the one thing I love about Dave the most is that whatever the topic is, he's ALWAYS against needless wars which are indirectly funding the Military-industrial complex.
@@Hashishin13 Yeah, that Trump that started absolutely no additional wars for 4 years, made peace in the Middle East for a couple years, and had a timeline set up for leaving Afghanistan……you know, the one that FJB totally screwed up!
Sonny Hostin and Joy Behar couldn’t even dream of have a conversation this articulated and well crafted. Great episode guys. Keep carrying the torch of TRUTH.
Yeah…and that’s why they’re on television and Dave isn’t. The establishment doesn’t want the plebs having articulate intelligent conversations…they want you as dumb as possible and completely reliant of them.
@@datnip79 no matter what side of the figurative isle you’re on, everyone thinks the View is ridiculous. They are entertainment only and not real journalists. So are a majority of the podcasters, etc. they are surface level informed and spewing crap. And I’m an old school lefty. I disagree with most of mainstream media including left and right leaning and disagree with most entertainment media/shows. Nobody likes them 😂😂😂.
@ I agree. What is your take on, as you put it “the old school left” being no wars, free speech, no government telling me what to do. To now the left is all about censorship, currently supporting both wars and completely falling in line with whatever Daddy Government says is best. It’s so weird to me how the right and left have completely switched view points. For context, I am left on certain views like gay marriage, gays being able to adopt, am ok with some social benefits like welfare(to a degree) but am also very conservative in views like 2a, for the most part(outside of medical emergencies and or SA abuse)pro life, fiscally conservative. So I do feel conservative but don’t say I’m a republican. If that makes sense. Curious on your thoughts on the flip flop of the parties main view points
That line about the difference between Dave's son and daughter hits hard. In the mid-1990s, when I was in the 7th grade at my small K-8 school of 125 students, our male principal retired and was replaced by a female principal. On day ONE, she introduced a slew of new rules. One of them was _"No running in the schoolyard during recess."_ What made it worse was, this rule was a _precaution;_ as far as I can remember, no one had ever gotten more than a scraped knee from falling while running. In the ensuing months, I noticed a few of the boys were a bit more disruptive in class than normal. Of course, the solution to _that_ was "Ritalin". 🙄
Close the gyms and churches, but keep the liquor stores and Walmart open. They will never recover from the eye openning lesson that was. The Covid lockdowns changed perpective permanently.
For many people that was the first time when politics affected their life in a real way. It pushed many people over the edge, also because nothing else was going on at the time.
Close a family owned business ... but if the business was part of a large chain store, you are safe to keep shopping because the virus doesn't go in there.
Thank you, Dave! I was a Bernie volunteer in ‘15-16 and delegate in ‘19-20; anti-war, anti-free trade, pro-gun, pro-jobs/unions, etc. Voted begrudgingly for Clinton and Biden, then RFK and other reasons led me to Trump. I wasn’t in love with him but after seeing the June debate, lawfare, assassination attempt, Reform Dem team, etc. I could only go for him.
There definitely is a Bernie to Trump pipeline, and the sooner the Dems understand that, the sooner they'll stop hemorrhaging voters to the other side.
I’m right there with ya, I’m praying trump doesn’t fuck this opportunity up. He does seem different this time esp after being shot. I’m more hopeful than I have ever been after an election. I voted for the whole team, not just trump. It was a no brainer after rfk got on board.
A teacher in Ireland has been in prison for 500 days for refusing to use a pupil's preferred pronouns. When you vote Democrat in 2024 - this is the kind of thing you are voting in favor of.
Dave speaks common sense. It's not about shutting down debate, it's about "prove me wrong with facts" in an above board way. Discourse without distaste.
He is particularly excellent at pointing out; two tiered / uneven / hypocritical implementations and stances by parties from any side of a debate that puts something of that nature forward. He has an eagle eye for a “just , good faith, even keeled argument and fair implementation. And vice versa.
What I absolutely admired is that Trump worked extra hard, doing podcasts and rally around the clock. Not for a Second did he get overly confident that he had it in the bag. He worked til the last hour on Nov 4!
do you like his Cabinet picks of unqualified sex offenders? Trump doesn't care about you. In 2018 the Republicans gave a trillion dollar tax cut to millionaires and billionaires (aka. 2018 Republican tax Bill). 2025 he'll do another tax cut for the ultra-rich. Trump's only goal is infinite power, and now he has "partial immunity" from the Republican-heavy Supreme Court.
Why do people give Trump so much praise for campaigning? What's so challenging about having a conversation on a podcast for 2 -3 hrs, followed by a 5 hr trip on a plane that's likely more comfortable than furniture we're using right now and then talking at a rally for 2 hours? Nothing about Trumps conversations seem difficult, he mostly goes off topic and talks about whatever rhetoric he wants to talk about.
@@bhough410because leftist assassins could be hiding in the bushes at any rally. That strikes me as a difficult thing to have to deal with, on top of all the other crap that was thrown at him.
@@bhough410Trump usually had three events a day booked. And Kamala didn’t have the guts or ability to go on a free form podcast that wasn’t micromanaged to her specs, subject to editing, and scripted for a particular limited set of topics.
I've only known of Dave Smith for two years or so, and I've gained so much respect and admiration for him. He is a rational, calm(sometimes😂) voice in this chaotic white noise.
@@actrue9712yeah he is! But he’s grown to become one of the most consistently honest and thorough political commentators out there. Been following him since like 2015!
@@actrue9712he calls himself a comedian but he’s a better political commentator than comedian. He does have a couple comedy specials on his RUclips channel, if you sort by popular you’ll find them
Mad respect for Dave Smith. A man that sat on a Piers M panel all the while Destiny SCREAMING over him. Smith just sitting, being respectful, giving Destiny his space. Dave I will never forget your name. I watch you alot but had forgotten your name at that point, but somehow remembering Destiny and I don't really watch him.
I don’t even think he has many debating skills. He just argues from a rock solid foundation of arguments. Like, he can’t debate a thing he doesn’t believe in, but the things he does, he’s bang on. For dave’s case, he surely benefits from the fact he’s almost always right
As someone who voted for Trump 3x and had watched many different political podcasters since 2015, Dave Smith has become my favorite most recently. I like how he’s not an anti Trump leftist with TDS, nor is he a pro Trump MAGA supporter who will make excuses for Trump when he does something bad.
Getting to the point MAGA has "TDS" nearly as bad as the progressives. He's clearly not a messiah. He had far more faults the first term than he did pluses.
Dave’s ability to just absolutely rip apart the corporate media and politicians gets me so fired up. He has such a great way of explaining all these deep feelings that me; being an average Joe sometimes have a little bit of difficulty describing because I’m not the best at speaking. Bravo.
Dave Smith is one of the greatest voices of our era. I listen to almost each and every episode of his show Part of the Problem. Chris and Dave are having a wonderful conversations here. Thank you!
@ facts! I heard him mention it on Piers Morgan and he talks about it online but it can’t be overstated. You can’t be anti-war and pro-Israel at this point
@@jaredmellolong time listener of Dave here. He does voice the facts about israeli influence and corruption alot. He says its one of the biggest issues with the america first movement. They still lack the willingness to speak the truth of the israeli relationship.
@@subieguy00 he has, but to vote for the most pro Israel candidate pretty much undermines his talking points all summer. I care so much about Palestine, but yea I’m going to vote for the biggest pro-Israel candidate in American history. Hypocritical lol.
All of a sudden, Chris finds the courage to voice his support of anti-establishment forces. Conveniently he rationalised keeping his opinions on the pandemic response to himself.
Fair.... but he's platformed many of the anti-establishment heads on his podcast. He's done his part. He's more like Lex in that regard. Keep in mind. It helps pull in larger audience's from other areas... the neutral yet engaging interview style, I meam.
@robinmiller871 his platforming of anti-establishment heads has been in proportion to the rising popularity of anti-establishment heads. At least he doesn't advertise himself as a change-maker.
The networks have proven they cannot be trusted to conduct an unbiased, fair debate. And their viewership is in the gutter; why reward them for all of this with the opportunity to air a debate?
The most sage wisdom I received from my sister who was my role model, was in order to engage my employees in taking responsible action was to tell them this: when you come to me with a problem make sure you are armed with solutions to solve said problem. It was amazing how things were turned around so quickly. Our operation was 1000% smoother.
I was at the pub yesterday when one of the regulars said something along the lines of Joe Rogan is a misogynist along with some other tired lies that he parroted so I asked him to tell me why he thought that. He had no response other than he’s always been this way apparently. So I asked him to give me one example. He couldn’t. They never do. It’s so lazy and tiring
I don't listen to Rogan because he's smart or funny or cool or anything like that. I listen to Rogan because he's authentic and honest. That's all I need.
I used to watch mainstream media in the late 70s and early 80s and found their take on world affairs as well as local affairs very one-sided. I always thought they were pushing an agenda. I can't believe that this many years later they're finally reaping what they sowed😊
Thanks for bringing up Laken Riley Chris! Media barely mentioned her trial while they reported for days on the Menendez brothers on Netflix and wanting out of prison 🤷🏼♀️
Dave Smith, Glenn Greenwald and Tucker made me see the truth about what Israel is doing in Gaza. And Ben Shapiro and Bill Maher have been lying the entire time.
October 7th pulled the wool off my eyes as well! I’ll never forget listening to Ben Shapiro on October 8th and the first line was “anti-Zionism IS anti-semitism”….. really Mr Free Speech?!? Hypocrites at best
It's crazy how you think doing mind reading is preferable than listening. Have you listened to Hamas and jihadists when they explain why they hate us? Try doing that instead of mind reading.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how badass that background is at Daves spot?! Also, when Chris's mind is at the point where its like "this shit is just crazy, they are TOTALLY GONE" then its SO fkn bad.
Dave is one of the absolute best people to listen to on so many subjects, he is so thoughtful and even when you disagree with him (as I do re Israel) you can't help but respect him. Much love
I only got to know who Dave Smith was fairly recently when he embarrassed Cuomo on covid, and he has quickly become one of my favorite people to listen to. Him and Joe Rogan asking ALL the right questions! 👍
Had to smile when Chris talked about his dad. I'm just about old, and my dad does the same thing. He's 92. I have been maddeningly vocal about you guys since Your Welcome was barely into double digits, Rubin's epiphany was yet to come, and Sam Harrison seemed sane. But for my dad, nothing existed until it was on Fox. Finally, in November 2024 after JBP was on Gutfeld, dad says "that Peterson guy has some interesting things to say. How does this podcast thing work?"
The moment advertisers were allowed to advertise on the news, (happened in the 50’s I think) is the moment that main stream media started to die. Prior to that, the three main channels had to be forced to have an hour of news (without commercials) because they wouldn’t have embraced it otherwise.
This all started with the original Daily Show and Jon Stewart. It was shocking to MSM that more young people got their ‘news’ from Jon and his comedy show.
I used to watch the daily show a lot, it kinda tanked when the Obama years started and they were still almost exclusively attacking Republicans who lost almost as badly to Obama as the Democrat party list now. But it was never like I switched from MSM news to the daily show. I think they were far more upset about being mocked than losing viewers because there was zero overlap in audience. The same is probably true with podcasts, perhaps there are a few people who switch but it’s mostly an audience that otherwise would consume other content and ignore the news.

Why are the media lies so blatant and careless? Eric Weinstein said it best. They're not trying to fool you. They're instructing you on what is permissible to say in polite company.
The answer is simple.
They are corporate owned and operate in the interest of their owners rather than the common man.

And their viewership is in the gutter; why reward them for all of this with the opportunity to air a debate?
You're killing it (granted for a while) Chris! Your interview style is really easy to watch. Thx bro 🙏🏼
I'm a simple man. I see Dave Smith and I click.
Dude is so observant like a comedian but then also knows a thing or two. Really like this guy.
After hearing Dave's stance on the Ukraine Russia war, I immediately became a fan of him. He knows more about that conflict than 95% of Americans.
You think 16,000,000 Americans know more than him?😂
Yeah 16 million people is probably a very high estimate lol
Dave is the best, most well-spoken voice in the liberty movement! Love me some Davey Smith!
I love Dave, but Dave is REALLY in love with the sound of his voice 😂
The most sage wisdom I received from my sister who was my role model, was in order to engage my employees in taking responsible action was to tell them this: when you come to me with a problem make sure you are armed with solutions to solve said problem. It was amazing how things were turned around so quickly. Our operation was 1000% smoother.
Doesn't matter what podcast, I see Dave Smith, I click
I was at the pub yesterday when one of the regulars said something along the lines of Joe Rogan is a misogynist along with some other tired lies that he parroted so I asked him to tell me why he thought that. He had no response other than he’s always been this way apparently. So I asked him to give me one example. He couldn’t. They never do. It’s so lazy and tiring
“Isn’t it weird that the MSM always get it wrong on the side of the CIA” 👏🏻 Priceless Dave
What shocks me is the millions of people that are so easily manipulated and controlled who have lost their ability to use logic and reason.
I don't know if they ever had logic and reason to lose
"I don't eat until sundown on all of those days"🤣🤣 that was hilarious, Dave should put that in his standup act
Dave Smith getting the respect he deserves. 🙌🏼
Hell yeah dude. So glad Dave is getting on more and more shows this past year and a half or so. Love dave.
Comedians were the only public figures that I felt like I could trust over the past four years, turns out this instinct was absolutely correct.
Dave Smith. What a man. Love this dude.
Easily my favourite podcast host and creator interviewing my favourite American commentator well done Chris your smashing it brother 👍👍👍
Daves ability to make on the spot analogy’s for any and every topic he’s speaking about is second to none.
As a Costa Rican, I get my information on World and American politics from Dave Smith 🙏🏼 Perks of having learned English 👍🏼
Joe Rogan, and many other podcasters, are very intelligent. And all I want is intelligent lengthy questions and conversation.
I don't listen to Rogan because he's smart or funny or cool or anything like that. I listen to Rogan because he's authentic and honest. That's all I need.
I listen to variety of podcasts I found so many interesting brilliant people that are like brain food! ✌🏻
The length of podcasts exposes the hosts as much as the guests.
Why is it that i feel so refreshed after listening to Dave Smith? I guess b/c I've been lied to for years.
Thanks for letting Dave just talk.
This guy Dave Smith is a beast - he's on a roll.
Dave 100% correct about fact Kamala not going on Rogan actually limited the damage and was a good choice.
Its why I've always said. Would have been hilarious though.
@@robinmiller871The LOLs from that 60 minutes ( she would have tapped out by then ) would have been epic indeed.
Dave's a liberty legend
I used to watch mainstream media in the late 70s and early 80s and found their take on world affairs as well as local affairs very one-sided. I always thought they were pushing an agenda. I can't believe that this many years later they're finally reaping what they sowed😊
Dave Smith is cooler than Chuck Norris.
Modern media allows a more direct path to timely accountability, illuminating the conspicuous manipulators at the source. I love it
I don’t turn to Joe Rogan for news but for honesty and entertaining thoughts
Love this cross over! Great guest! Keep crushing it Chris!
I only heard of Dave Smith a year or two ago, watching him on Joe Rogan. He is so based I’m always up to listen to what he has to say.
Can we get Michael malice again? Love Dave!
I was literally thinking this morning while listening to the Cenk interview that I wish Chris could have Dave come on
The collab I've been waiting for! Well done Chris!
Dave Smith and Clint Russel are the GOATs. Def need to have them both on again asap.
Great conversation and a perfect example of the type of conversation that would NEVER happen on legacy media.
Thanks for bringing up Laken Riley Chris! Media barely mentioned her trial while they reported for days on the Menendez brothers on Netflix and wanting out of prison 🤷🏼♀️
Dave Smith, Glenn Greenwald and Tucker made me see the truth about what Israel is doing in Gaza. And Ben Shapiro and Bill Maher have been lying the entire time.
Tucker too? I'm positively surprised if that's the case, I thought israel was the one thing he didn't dare to criticize
October 7th pulled the wool off my eyes as well! I’ll never forget listening to Ben Shapiro on October 8th and the first line was “anti-Zionism IS anti-semitism”….. really Mr Free Speech?!? Hypocrites at best
Mainstream Media is a weaponized highly centralized top down information management and filtering system to control Human
Tucker no but Glenn and Dave have been on the right side of this issue for a long time. That’s why they’re believable.
It's crazy how you think doing mind reading is preferable than listening.
Have you listened to Hamas and jihadists when they explain why they hate us? Try doing that instead of mind reading.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how badass that background is at Daves spot?!
Also, when Chris's mind is at the point where its like "this shit is just crazy, they are TOTALLY GONE" then its SO fkn bad.
WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
wish he was in studio though.
Dave is one of the absolute best people to listen to on so many subjects, he is so thoughtful and even when you disagree with him (as I do re Israel) you can't help but respect him. Much love
He explains certain subjects easily and clearly for someone like me who barely made it out of high school
Dave Smith is one of my best finds from Rogan
Dave is the man. Very cool to see him on this show
The Libertarian Tupac making the rounds
I haven't watched your podcast in a while, but when I saw Dave Smith I was so excited!
Dave smith on Chris Williamson. What a great day.
I only got to know who Dave Smith was fairly recently when he embarrassed Cuomo on covid, and he has quickly become one of my favorite people to listen to. Him and Joe Rogan asking ALL the right questions! 👍
Dave is good people. Great to see him on here Chris👌
Dave is spot on with raising boys and girls. My daughter will cuddle, my son will not, unless he is very sick
What a great crossover
Dave’s the best
Things aren't becoming "Right Leaning." They're becoming TRUTH leaning.
Great conversation. Dave always speaks well and offers original thoughts.
Had to smile when Chris talked about his dad. I'm just about old, and my dad does the same thing. He's 92. I have been maddeningly vocal about you guys since Your Welcome was barely into double digits, Rubin's epiphany was yet to come, and Sam Harrison seemed sane. But for my dad, nothing existed until it was on Fox. Finally, in November 2024 after JBP was on Gutfeld, dad says "that Peterson guy has some interesting things to say. How does this podcast thing work?"
Dave needs way more views than he gets one of the soundest minds on politics and foreign policy specifically. Great mind.
Dave is the real deal, a national treasure!
Dave Smith x Chris Williamson Let's gooooo
Dave Smith is so right. Great guest
First. I love your podcast Chris.
My penny's worth .... podcasts are more authentic than MSM
Mainstream disinformation media
Comparing the corporate media to 90 Russia and Pravda is actually spot on.
The moment advertisers were allowed to advertise on the news, (happened in the 50’s I think) is the moment that main stream media started to die. Prior to that, the three main channels had to be forced to have an hour of news (without commercials) because they wouldn’t have embraced it otherwise.
Dave has changed the conversation and I’m so thankful for it.
This all started with the original Daily Show and Jon Stewart. It was shocking to MSM that more young people got their ‘news’ from Jon and his comedy show.
There is no difference.
I used to watch the daily show a lot, it kinda tanked when the Obama years started and they were still almost exclusively attacking Republicans who lost almost as badly to Obama as the Democrat party list now. But it was never like I switched from MSM news to the daily show. I think they were far more upset about being mocked than losing viewers because there was zero overlap in audience. The same is probably true with podcasts, perhaps there are a few people who switch but it’s mostly an audience that otherwise would consume other content and ignore the news.
