Excellent, insightful, important coverage of Signal scandal & reveals way more than meets the eye. It goes beyond Waltz & implicates all on that chat that Americans been duped once again. Depressing, but thanks for keeping it real, Dave!

I have always liked Dave but he just has the most smug annoying attitude and the way he talks just reminds me of a smug cry baby. You seem to have a new problem every day and I just hear this wimpy smug voice about every single one of the issues. Not everything is the ending the world Dave, take a freaking chill pill.

Love Dave love the show but we get it you love the Yemens but we live in America nobody cares bro

Why are you ADVERTISING that Yo Kratom is “lab tested”?! There is no documentation or source for this claim- please advise!

“Free Thinker” parrots all of the right wing talking points with a centrist jacket on. No thanks.

Officially sold out to the MAGAT party. Used to have original ideas but now is a Russian puppet like his Daddy Trump! sad Dave! There is still time to be on the right side of history.

Insightful show but dave spends way too much time talking about himself

I enjoy Dave’s takes, but the extreme right-leaning takes have officially gotten old.

Something happened to Dave after Trump became president again. He’s only highlighting the positives in Trump without discussing the flaws, and he’s completely ignoring Israel now. For example, executive orders against criticizing Israel on college campuses or the $$$ and bombs still being sent to Israel….

This podcast is topical and interesting. I like listening to opinions all over the political spectrum to try and gain a better understanding of how people think. Dave and Robbie are well informed and both posses a sharp wit. For the most part I really enjoy the podcast. However, Dave Smith has extremely thin skin and feels the need to subject the listeners to shrill, petty takedowns of those that disagree with or in any way criticize him or anyone he considers a friend. I love a good counterpoint argument but Smith comes off a little too mean girl in my opinion. Often, after listening to these episodes I will go and listen to the offending podcast for context. I find many times that he misses a lot by selectively editing and misinterpreting the broader point. But hey, although political commentary this is for entertainment after all so I do get it. That said, I still think it’s a good podcast and worth a listen.

You know he is the Godfathers of Podcast. He is attributed with creating the Podcast

I wonder if Dave found out who Curry is yet. Would be interesting if you got JCD on as a guest though, he’s the best. ITM

Long-time listener and fan of the show. The last episode with Nicole Shanahan felt like Dave rushed to get Rob off and was so eager to share his thoughts that she barely got to speak. Love hearing Dave and Rob’s perspective of current events, but I think the episodes with non-libertarian guest speakers could really benefit from Dave not having to insert his full perspective on every topic and allowing his guests to get their point across. Thanks for the content keep up with the good work!

Dave is doing an amazing job at sifting through the noise to the heart of these issues. Bobby Kennedy needs to be confirmed!

Man, I want to like this show. Dave does make great points but for half the shows, he is just complaining that somebody mentioned him in a tweet. It just turns into a man yelling at the sky and it is a sad example of how all political shows are just full of egocentric braggarts. Half of his argument is just how he has a bigger platform than the other person. So, i guess my point is less complaining more talking about issues that matter.

Dave and rob are super smart and knowledgeable , but most importantly they are very effective communicators. They often make brilliant analogies that helps me understand.

This has become one of my favorite podcasts. Common sense and Dave really knows his stuff.

What an awesome takedown! Dave Smith can fight.

Channeling frustrations & a desire for change into podcasting is cool. Missing the mark is distracting & forced me to unsubscribe.

Favorite show. I hope Rob can continue to eat good sandwiches and go skiing.

And on.

Volume seems much lower than other shows I listen to here on Apple Podcast app. Love the content, wondering if you could help in the audio department.

I could listen to an hour of Dave eviscerating Sam Harris every week. But everything else he does is awesome too.

If 1204 was the only POD Dave & Fire ever put out, it’s worth it! 1 of the OVERALL best pods I’ve ever listened to…and RITE IN THE MONEY! (Why ppl don’t trust legacy news-media any longer)

Run of the mill Israel/Jew Hater. Lame takes and arguments. No substance. Can’t admit when he’s wrong and boneheaded.

🤦‍♂️

Thanks for helping me think critically

Dave is a smart guy and I used to listen to every episode, but the negativity got old for me. He has an opinion about everything and anybody that doesn’t agree with him is messed up. I cannot imagine Dave as President, ever. I think he’s a good in a debate, but it’s unpalatable at moments so I had to stop listening regularly.

I may not agree with 100% of their positions, but these dudes have the moral courage and intellectual honesty to be consistent in their analysis of politics and current events.

I love the podcast. I think Dave is one of the best voices in the political commentary sphere. That being said, there are some issues with Dave’s mic. I’m not sure if he’s being mixed too low, but I have to raise the volume every time Dave starts to speak.

I agree, my husband and I watched the debate and we both hated the constant talking over one another. Hated the other 2 guys. Sarah was okay. Loved the debate on PBD with Cuomo.

I may not agree with everything they say but I appreciate that they take on difficult topics and try to educate us instead of pushing their views down our throats.

As a construction worker-turned-civil-engineer, I have designed and built my own roads. Dave smith couldn’t do either, yet he constantly preaches it. Put down the microphone and pick up a shove you candya$$. Go help trump sling French fries!

Is watching

I’ve been powering through a lot of these episodes lately but today you lost me trying to reference white man can’t jump.

I love listening to Dave but damn… the amount of ad breaks..

So—I’d classify myself as an Independent Voter with conservative tendencies. I consume a few podcasts for political analysis and news. This one is by far my favorite. The biggest reason is, in my opinion, Dave has a balance in the political spectrum. He calls out what he deans nonsense regardless of which political party is toting, and that includes the parties outside of the two heavy-hitters. As of the time of this podcast, I think he’s really solid. Idk, each week I feel like Dave sounds less reasonable and more antagonistic. But I’m still with it.

Dave is great. His debate with Lara Loomer via Zero Hedge by Adam Sosnick was par for how awesome pretty much all his podcasts are. More Ron Paul, less Bush-Cheney.

I enjoy the comedic aspect of how Dave and Robbie cut through the Bull$hit that is happening in our country and around the world. For a podcast to not espouse the leftist or right wing narratives is truly a breath of fresh air. Dave Smith for President 2028!!

Sounds like an old yenta

You are part …

You are a dopey shock jock who grifts on inane conspiracies. It’s not difficult to see through you. And you somehow lost a debate to Chris Cuomo who exposed your grift. Embarrassing.

Why don’t you interview Trump. Ask him the questions on Covid handling.

Cynics of the world unite!

I love the podcast. Look forward to it every week. Dave and Rob are a great pair and keep me informed and laughing every show. Update- I have to unsubscribe for awhile. The left right politics they cover every week are just pointless. It doesn’t matter who wins the uni party is pushing us toward techno fascism. In large part I they Dave and Robbie understand this fact but they still cover the political theater for the masses. I’m just done with the nonsense. Trump and Kamala (insert random democrat here) are leading us to the same end.

when you crib his work for content i love yalls show, long time listener. but i’m so sick of ppl quoting / playing orfaleas vids without crediting him. dudes a genius.

You’re comment about how people who have children (including yourself) do not respect people without children was so rude and disrespectful. You’re assuming everyone can have children. Which shows how shallow and simple you are. And besides, maybe it turns out that so many breeders are just boring bland people who without their children would be make no contribution to society whatsoever. In fact they stress society with their little psychic and environmental vanpires. Dave’s head has gotten so overblown with doodoo it’s interfering with his thought process.

The sanest takes on the unhinged political landscape. Oh, and they are hilarious as well. 11/10 podcast. Instant download and listen every time, and if you don’t do this you’re missing out!

I’m a long time LOS fan. Having seen Dave grow has been awesome. Seeing Dave grow with “the fire” has been beautiful! I look forward to listen to their points of view every time a new pod drops… I’m not even that political. I know they’re bringing an honest factual point of view to the issues happening at any given time. And for that reason I stay listening to Dave and The Fire! Thank you both for the pod… also congrats on the move! Making the skanks proud!

Dave is great. Different perspective and well laid out arguments. May want to tone down the ego a smidge but overall, I’m a big fan of the guy. I think Dave could make a run in ‘28 or ‘32
