  • Dave Smith Lost his Way

    Was a huge fan from Day 1. But now Dave has discovered he can grift the worst idiotic audience and make a decent living off the MAGA dolts that tune in.

    He will now do and say anything if he thinks it will grow his audience. He doesn’t care about the quality of the discussion or his analysis anymore. Instead each episode is dedicated to his grift and how he can grow his sub room temp IQ audience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Epstein Files 2 w/ Thomas Massie
Q: Let's talk Epstein Files—why is Part 2 needed and what does it change compared to Part 1?
Part 2 expands the scope to allow state-level prosecutions in New Mexico for ongoing Epstein-related crimes and to compel access to more documents, including those linked to Zorro Ranch, while removing deliberative process privilege to force disclosure and accountability.
Against Socialism with Keith Knight
Q: How do self-interest and incentives function differently in markets versus democratically planned systems?
Markets channel self-interest through price signals and competition, whereas democratically planned systems rely on political will and taxation, which can distort incentives and raise costs, reducing production and innovation.
Against Socialism with Keith Knight
Q: Why is it important to demand a clear definition of democratic socialism in a debate like this?
Clear definitions help separate genuine policy proposals from vague moral posturing, allowing a real comparison of mechanisms, costs, and incentives within voluntary versus coercive systems.
Interview with Jeremy Cordon
Q: If someone wants to buy Goldbacks or sign up a business to accept them, where should they go?
They can visit goldback.com to find dealers (about 600) and to sign up a business to accept Goldbacks as payment.
Interview with Jeremy Cordon
Q: Where do Goldbacks come in on the broader money problem, and how do they work as a private currency?
Goldbacks are positioned as a micro-slicing of gold that allows for a practical, cash-like private currency that can be used in everyday transactions, with a strategy to build a broad network of accepting businesses to provide a usable alternative to the dollar.
