  • The logic & evidence Dave left us. He’s unhinged and pure emotional garbage now.

    Dave has gone full emotional cringe rants lately. No facts , no logic. Just emotion and unhinged takes with no evidence. Dave is obsessed with how he sounds on Piers Morgan podcast and just seems to have lost himself.

    Side note , Massie 2028? He would get 5% of the vote, have u lost touch with reality? He’ll never win a primary or presidential run in any other way. You were once the logic & evidence guy, 2026 broke you.

  • Dave, please give the ego a rest!

    I agree with most of Dave’s takes but he’s way too worried and focused on scoring points regarding his debates and appearances on Piers Morgan shows lol! I think most of your audience is tired of this

    I love your content and I learn a lot from listening to you! With respect please consider stopping using the Lord’s name in vain saying “GD” and “Jesus” casually. As a Christian I know that there is power in his name. I realize that you are not a Christian but please consider your Christian listeners.

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.
Max Blumenthal
Q: How is the current political climate affecting discussions on Israel and Palestine?
Both discuss how the decentralized media landscape has allowed more open criticism of Israel, contrasting previous silencing of dissenting opinions.
Max Blumenthal
Q: What do you think is the significance of the UK Government's recognition of a Palestinian state?
Blumenthal suggests that it is a hollow gesture because without real pressure on Israel, such a statement lacks material value.
The Feds on the Street
Q: What do you think about Tulsi Gabbard showing up to the Ron Paul barbecue?
Dave feels a mix of sadness and guilt but acknowledges her presence as a somewhat positive aspect, despite his critiques of her past actions.
