Thank you so much to everybody who came out.

Great, great shows this weekend.

I know that's not specific enough.

Sam Harris.

So, and Sam Harris says during COVID, what was the, I'm sorry, what was the argument that I wanted to compare here? Oh, so during COVID, Sam Harris would make the argument, you know, the real problem here is that people like Joe Rogan and Dave Smith are sowing distrust in institutions, but we need institutions.

And you're like, that's the argument? The argument is that when we point out that they lie, people are less likely to trust them? Yeah.

Did anybody else see the...

I know you did, Todd, obviously, but did y'all see the whole thing with Rabbi Litvin versus Dave Smith? I think a little bit.

I didn't see much of it.

What the fuck was that? I heard...

It's not relevant.

But he was saying that it was anti-Semitic and it minimized the Holocaust to draw comparisons to the Holocaust for something that's not nearly that bad or not nearly that big of a deal pretty much.

And, uh, so Dave Smith

and he went on David fights podcast.

But it's only important to the extent that people who have the capacity to understand it, understand it.

And that, you know, the people that Stephan should be trying to reach and the people that Scott Horton or Tom Woods or Dave Smith or any of those people, the people they should be trying to reach are people who are capable of becoming libertarians who are not yet.

And that's a very small segment of the population.

Like I said, I would imagine it's less than 1%.

Atencio's playful and unlively lyrics conveyed a sense of campiness and fun, while Baker's score was meant to sound ethereal.

According to Disney historian Dave Smith's account of Jason Surrell's research, they experimented with detuning instruments, recording music backwards, and combining those sounds in the final mix, which is why it kind of always sounds off and kind of wrong.

They also played things in minor keys, which is not really pleasing to the ear.

So it kind of gives you the sense that something's not right without having to-

Hughes pass across back to Taves.

dave's back skate to the blue line and finds the rookie t.j hughes they're excited about him into the middle it's clapped wide by jaden schwartz Colorado cycling the puck around with 55 to go in the power play.

Along the goal line, this is Hughes.

Back out for Taves.

I have it in a different way in my mind.

So what makes the situation even more depressing is that the few people who made it to the status of being a voice in the culture, Dave Smith is an example, they are not leading with, I want to defend freedom of individual rights.

They're leading on something else.

Usually something related to the culture wars, something related to things that have nothing more to do Or the opposite,

or actually hurts individual liberty and individual freedom, like Dave Smith's position on Israel or Michael Malice's platforming of race realists and so on.

So that's the problem with the people who lead with the anarchy is they actually are moving away and undermining the cause of liberty.

And it's not just, so for example, Thomas Macy, I don't think he's an anarchist, but again,
