00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:09.359
I want to welcome the misfit patriot, mister misfit, So
2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:11.439
I appreciate you actually taking the time to be here too.
3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.400
I know you've been around lately. You've been on Peers Morgan,
4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.199
You've been on a bunch of other podcast doing debates, etc.
5
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.640
As we kind of discussed offline, I really wanted you
6
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.000
here because I wanted to give you the opportunity to
7
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.239
explain yourself a bit more, because what I've seen is
8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.079
a bit I'll just say this, I've seen other people's
9
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.520
fan base where fanboys basically get behind the other person
10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.359
or whoever and really bolster them up to try to
11
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.039
make you look bad. And in my opinion, I don't
12
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.520
think everything you say is a bad opinion. I don't,
13
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.079
And I just don't think you're given enough air to
14
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.560
breathe right, or enough room to actually say what you
15
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.560
got to say. So I just wanted to get to
16
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.600
know you and just get to know like where you're
17
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.200
actually coming from. And I will bring up some of
18
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.560
the things that were I guess controversial, especially if you're
19
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.439
paying attention to social media, which is another world in
20
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.439
and of itself, right, So yeah, well that I just
21
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.359
want to start with this. I am going to get
22
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.920
into the Iran Israel thing because that was pretty recent.
23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.719
You have a lot to say about that, but I
24
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.959
want to start with what's going on with your not
25
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.560
I wouldn't say best with your squabbles lately, for example,
26
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.280
like Dave Smith. He said some stuff about Laura Lumer,
27
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.599
which I can understand, But can you explain a bit
28
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.719
what's going on between you and Dave? I mean, Dave
29
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.920
kind of tries to dismiss you, but you seem to
30
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.200
not not let him get away with everything that he says.
31
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.439
Can you elaborate on that for me? Sure?
32
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.560
Dave's just like everybody else that I call out when
33
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.879
I when I see hypocrisy online, I usually call it out.
34
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.480
I don't care if it's on my side. I mean, look,
35
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.200
I spent years calling out the hypocrisy of the left
36
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.040
because it's it's easy. It's it's literally like fish in
37
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.840
a barrel. And I've noticed recently, pretty pretty recently, that
38
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.319
there is this wing of the right that's adopting this
39
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.079
you know, double standard what about ism, and and I
40
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.280
would I would classify it as as woke ideology, like
41
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.240
so this, there's this, there's this debate about you know,
42
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.479
James Lindsay, myself and some others adopted this whole woke
43
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.599
right a framing tactic, and a lot of people are like,
44
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.719
woke means left. No woke actually just means oppressor oppressed
45
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.199
ideology where it's basically like, there's a there's a they
46
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.319
out there that's responsible for all of your problems and
47
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.159
you bitch about it and you don't have no personal accountability.
48
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.560
The right has never adopted this, but until recently, so
49
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.599
I've been calling out the quote woke right, and I
50
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.360
think that I don't know if Dave is necessarily woke right.
51
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:53.840
He's definitely fucking woke because he's got this this ideology
52
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.639
where where there's this, uh, there's this boogeyman bad guy, Uh,
53
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.599
the American government is government, this, that and the other,
54
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:08.039
and you know, under the guise of morality and libertarianism,
55
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.800
he thinks that he's got this moral superiority over others.
56
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.439
So that's just you know, a little intro into why
57
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.199
I'm calling anybody out. But as far as Dave Smith specifically,
58
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.439
what I've noticed about Dave Smith is he's a he's
59
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:31.599
he's got this debate me bro like you know stick now.
60
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.719
Andrew Wilson has the same thing. But Andrew Wilson I
61
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.280
would say, I disagree with.
62
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.080
Him a lot.
63
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.080
But Andrew Wilson, I would say, actually should be in
64
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.639
that space, right. Andrew Wilson smart, articulate, well read. He
65
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.800
goes after the substance, whereas Dave uses gaslighting, narcissism, and
66
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.280
abuse techniques to to bully berate his audience, and he
67
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.960
usually does it under a platform where he's got the
68
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.800
home field advantage, like on Pierce Morgan, or on Joe
69
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.919
Rogan or on his own channel. I've really not seen
70
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.280
a lot of substance from from him and others where
71
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:15.319
they're actually they're actually arguing in good faith. Like so
72
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.399
as far as like why why this bothers me so much,
73
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.079
it's because I'm seeing I'm seeing it accepted in my
74
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.800
own party. I'm seeing a lot of people that are
75
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.879
sort of just jumping on. There is this single issue
76
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.680
voter block that's now just anti Israel, right, they don't
77
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.560
give a shit who you are. I see Johnny ut D,
78
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.000
a far radical leftist from the UK, reposting Nick Fuentees
79
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.920
because the only thing they have in common is they
80
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.560
both hate Jews, and I don't. And I also see there.
81
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.839
This is why I think this is one of the
82
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.399
biggest issues of our time right now. I see a
83
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:06.240
September tenth mentality in this country where we are not
84
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.920
looking at the threat of radical Islam and how it
85
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:16.800
is a real danger to I would say any Western
86
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.319
civilization or any you know what. I don't know why
87
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.639
we always do that peaceful civilization. Everywhere radical Islam has
88
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.000
been implemented, it has made the place that it is
89
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.240
implemented in worse. And we just had a primary in
90
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.399
New York City, the biggest city in America, and they
91
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:38.000
voted in a radical Islam as supporter and socialists. So
92
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.600
why am I calling these people out? It's pretty much
93
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.199
me pulling the fire alarm, except I'm not Jamal Bowman.
94
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.920
I actually think there is a fire right well.
95
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.399
My thing I think with Dave is and I've talked
96
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.560
about this person myself, My brother and I have gone
97
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.199
down this road. I actually respective for the fact that
98
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.360
he is intelligent, but I think that he's gotten to
99
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.199
a point where he's gotten so big and he's used
100
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.439
to being patted on the back that everything he says
101
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.959
is gold and I don't believe that he's even made
102
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.560
the argument that, well, I make better arguments because I
103
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.319
read books. Great, everyone reads books. But the problem with
104
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.519
his books is he only accepts the ones that he
105
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.279
says himself quoted, I just read better books. But both
106
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.399
these books have the same facts. He just prefers the
107
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.079
ones that have the inflection of the author or the
108
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.959
opinions that support his view. So regardless, he does come
109
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.759
into things with a lot of bias, he just won't
110
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.800
admit it. And I don't believe he's always correct. So,
111
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.000
you know, I do understand why you call him out.
112
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.680
I just I don't know. I think he should be
113
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.000
on a platform where he's more, like you said, challenge,
114
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.160
not necessarily surrounded by his peers and constantly being you know,
115
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.240
like I said before, pat on the back or even
116
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.079
they gang up on the other person, you know who
117
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.360
they're dating, which is a bit ridiculous.
118
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.560
Yeah, and this whole debate thing, it's like, I'm not
119
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.959
a debater, by the way, right, these people keep asking
120
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.000
me to debate them. I don't go out and say
121
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.399
I would like to debate x y z no Owen
122
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:06.480
Shore said, I'll I want to debate you, Andrew Wilson said,
123
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.639
I want to debate you a couple other people I've
124
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.839
probably been in, I don't know, half a dozen debates.
125
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.839
Maybe I I will accept any debate because I think
126
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.480
that the best way to you know, solve problems is
127
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:25.800
through discourse, because you know, when when discourse ends, violence begins. However,
128
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.959
what I've noticed is when these people, when these people
129
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.399
try to talk to me, you were you were alluding
130
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.120
to this earlier, right, it's they have they have this
131
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:44.000
I would say, false sense of of confidence because they're
132
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.199
they're they're in their own echo. They have they have like, look,
133
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.720
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna discredit the fact that
134
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.920
these people have actual fans and real people that really
135
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.240
support them. But I think that it's a lot of
136
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.319
fake engagement where they're getting they're getting boosted and they're
137
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.360
they're literally they're seeing their notifications they're like, you did great,
138
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.360
you won, You're the best and crushed him. So what
139
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.560
I do is, like, like with the Owen Shoryer debate,
140
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.360
I did an own short debate. I rewatched the debate.
141
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.519
I will fully admit that my first debate with Andrew Wilson,
142
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.560
I lost right. I have no problem saying that I
143
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.879
didn't know the substance. I told him I didn't know
144
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.959
the substance. We were trying to have a theological debate.
145
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.839
Was clearly he's clearly more educated on theology than I am.
146
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.519
So I can say that I lost right on the
147
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.159
on the substance. The second debate, I think it was
148
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.360
fairly even. I watched the Owen Shorer debate, and I
149
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.919
rewatched it knowing that I can be wrong. I can
150
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.879
lose debates. If somebody does better than me or knows
151
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.919
more than me, I'll be happy to admit it. When
152
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:47.799
I rewatched it, I did not see him make a
153
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.320
single point that that actually won on substance. He just
154
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.320
yelled and screamed, and he and he didn't have any argument.
155
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.120
He said Katar was our greatest ally. I said, what
156
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.399
evidence you have that are greatest alloy? He goes, whatevers
157
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.519
you have that they're not. I asked you a question.
158
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:08.519
So anyway, So what happens is because he has so many,
159
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.519
so much more followers than me, he does the debate.
160
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:17.039
He doesn't do anything to win the debate, but everybody goes,
161
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.639
you won the debate. But he but he actually didn't.
162
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:24.200
But he's going around. It's like that meme where you
163
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.480
see the cartoon guy and he's popping a bottle of
164
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.080
champagne and biting, biting his medal and he's like yeah,
165
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.879
and then it zooms out and he's in like fifteenth
166
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.200
place and he's just like celebrating, and and I think
167
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.240
that that's what's going on with Dave Smith. I think
168
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.519
that he's literally like people are stroking his ego. And again,
169
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.360
he might have real fans, but I think that a
170
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.879
lot of it is I think that a lot of
171
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.919
it's manufactured because there are people out there with an
172
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.120
agenda that want to frame a narrative, and they will
173
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.799
they will jump in and they will throw a bunch
174
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.360
of bots under one person's post. And you know it
175
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.320
also to the point that we made earlier, when he's
176
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.639
going on these platforms, like Pierce Morgan, who's Pierce Morgan
177
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.639
had Dave Smith on one side, he had the person
178
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.919
that Dave Smith was supposed to be debating on the
179
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.200
other side, and he's supposed to be in the middle
180
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.720
as a moderator, right, Pierce Morgan joined in on one
181
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.919
side of the argument for an hour and they tag
182
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.679
teamed two different women. Where it was when you have
183
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.559
a debate that's one hour long and two people are
184
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.080
talking over one person, that person is going to get
185
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.240
Maybe I would say a maximum, if it's a fair debate,
186
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.759
thirty three percent of the airtime. But she didn't even
187
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.159
get that. She probably got ten percent because they just
188
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:51.960
wouldn't stop filibustering, interrupting. And then Dave literally in these debates.
189
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:53.960
I don't want to make this whole podcast about Dave,
190
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.679
but you asked Dave in these debates, who goes before
191
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:57.519
the fucking debates?
192
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.679
Even Olveray's like, I won well on the debate, And
193
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.679
I did ask because I want to know, you know,
194
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.960
I want to know where you're coming from. I know where
195
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.159
I come from. I know where a lot of people
196
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:11.120
come from. In my opinion, I think, okay, the deal
197
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.399
with people like Dave, for example, comedians, they're trained to
198
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.000
be very quick, witty, snappy, their comebacks right. They think quick,
199
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.600
they react quick, they talk fast. Dave was was on
200
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.679
National I think it was on Fox or whatever. I forgot.
201
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.720
I forgot which news network it was. He would come
202
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.879
on as a consultant or someone who would you know,
203
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:32.240
like a talking head basically wants to.
204
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:33.320
Make a contributor or something.
205
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.159
Yeah, basically, but you know, we can't lie to ourselves.
206
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.480
And I'm going to say this flat out, Dave would
207
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.440
not be where he was if he wasn't Joe Rogan's friend, period, exactly.
208
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.559
In my opinion, I'm getting very tired of these comedians
209
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.960
thinking that just because they're witty on stage that they
210
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.600
suddenly are authorities when it comes to politics and geopolitics.
211
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.799
A guy doesn't know shit about geopolitics.
212
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.240
No, and and Douglas Murray did a really good job
213
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.159
of pointing this out to him, and you can tell
214
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.879
it left a mark because Dave is still talking about
215
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.600
I can't believe this appeal to authority. And then he
216
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.759
makes the same appeal to authority to other people. Just
217
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.360
came out and called out Rob Schneider and he goes,
218
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.919
you're a comedian, you don't know what you're talking about.
219
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:10.080
It.
220
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:15.200
It's like, bro, right, dude, what's up Dave Murray?
221
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:15.960
What's up?
222
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.159
Dave Murray? Like what are you doing? You're literally so anyway,
223
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.120
and again like so Dave is a good Dave is
224
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.159
a good general, Like he's a good figurehead, to to
225
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.799
sort of focus on the overarching broad issue of this
226
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.080
false sense of confidence and how we're bolstering the dumbest
227
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.600
voices who are not making actual intellectual arguments, but instead
228
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:44.480
are are are dominating the clout market where they are,
229
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:50.360
they are getting boosted, they are getting fed positive affirmations
230
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.919
for nonsense. Meanwhile, what they do is they try to
231
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.799
beat down and silence anybody that's actually making an articulate,
232
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.840
well rounded argument, like I can't Elica. I think her
233
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:02.320
name is the girl that was on the debate with
234
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:08.559
Dave Right, she's Look, you had two lawyers, right, you
235
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.679
had an international lawyer, you had a lawyer, you had
236
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.879
an Iranian who actually knows about the Middle East, because.
237
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.440
Yeah, she's she's she's.
238
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:23.919
Well overqualified for this conversation, right. And you have Piers
