  • 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.

    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.

  • Mid these days…

    Been listening since Robbie had hair (not a lot). I used to be a Part of the Problem fan girl and now I skip a lot of episodes. Couldn’t do them dirty with three stars, but definitely wish Dave did less response shows and interviews with people I’ve never heard of or don’t really care about. Rob’s takes have been on point though. I agree with most of his points and have been listening to Run Your Mouth consistently.

  • funny

    cool to get a libertarian perspective on things, although Dave's view on the rules of engagement in war is morally idiotic

  • Blackrock bought Thomas Massie

    Why did Thomas Massie NOT vote to STOP Blackrock from buying single family homes. Is he paid by Blackrock?

    Has Dave ever said anything funny on this podcast? Or do I need to pay to see him on stage for actual jokes?

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.

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.
