#1014 - Dave Smith

Joe Rogan (0:07)

President of the United States, 2024, Dave Smith is with me. Is that a real date?

What, is that a date? What's 2024? That wouldn't be it, right? 16, 20, 24 Yeah, that's it.

Dave Smith (0:17)

You got it, and it's right when I'll be ready.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Dude, you could pull it off.

We need a real libertarian candidate that could fucking hang in there. Someone who's gonna break the mold, Dave Smith, and a stand-up comedian as well.

Dave Smith (0:28)

I didn't want this task, but now that Joe Rogan's called on me.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

You could do it.

You're relatively immune to all the trappings that hit all its people. Of course there's dirt on you. You're a part of Skank Fest.

Dave Smith (0:39)

You know? There's a lot of grabbing by the pussies in my past.

Joe Rogan (0:42)

You're on a podcast called The Legion Of Skanks.

Dave Smith (0:46)

Could that be introduced in a presidential debate and then I have to go, mm-hmm, yes, that was my show.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Yes, but you would do it just like that and everybody would start laughing. We're realizing that this-

Dave Smith (0:55)

What if I just do it like a politician where I be like, I repudiated that show years ago. I no longer associate with Big Jay Okerson.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Dude, speaking of which, they put Weiner in the pokey today. 21 months in jail for sexting I believe was a 15-year-old.

Dave Smith (1:10)

Well, look, that guy single-handedly probably changed America. Yeah, with his dick. Yeah, I don't think, he really did. He changed it through dick pics.

Which, how else were you gonna change America in 2017?

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Look at the road edge. Anthony Weiner gets hard time. Is that the post? That post is hilarious. Whoever writes for the post, god damn they have some fucking great headlines.

Anthony Weiner gets hard time.

You know what's horrible is before all this happened, he was fantastic. That guy could have been the president.

Dave Smith (1:44)

He had that politician-y thing. I mean, and he was like for a young politician on the fast track.

But he, I mean, I really do think Hillary Clinton, I mean, I just think it was such a close race that any little thing probably could have made the difference. So you could blame any number of factors. But, I mean, the FBI coming out and reopening an investigation on you, like, less than two weeks before an election, that's pretty tough to get over politically. Like, in any normal year, any candidate would be buried by that.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

Well, after all that, lock her up. Lock her up. There's no way you can survive that. The FBI's looking into it. All the people that don't want to look into it any further than the surface, they immediately go, oh, we fucking got it. It's over.

Dave Smith (2:26)

And I, you know, like, I think there's also just, in terms of the politics and the way people work, there was something about Anthony Weiner where, so it just, it made the American public think about him again. And Trump was bringing the women who are accusing Bill Clinton of rape to the debates.

And I think the average person just kind of went like, wait a minute, so your husband is a sexual predator and your best friend, her husband is also a sexual predator? Like, who the fuck are these people?

You just have to, who the fuck are you? Who is that the story for?

Joe Rogan (2:57)

Yeah, well, that's one of the things that got me about Fox News. Because Fox News has always been the voice of conservative America on television, right? The staunch verse, the staunch voice of conservative America.

But yet, all this sex stuff comes out, like the Bill O'Reilly tapes where he was calling up whoever the girl was and saying crazy shit with a loofah sponge. Remember all that?

Dave Smith (3:23)

Yeah, I read about it.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

It was crazy, but they had recordings of it. And then it was, you know, all the women that accused him of sexual harassment and sexual harassment with other people. And then other people are sending dig pics and like, whoa, you guys are freaks.

Dave Smith (3:36)

And you know what was really crazy about it was that, so Roger Ailes, who's the head of the network, he went down first for sexual harassment. And then as soon as he was down, like a whole bunch of other people started going down. And then you really start wondering like, oh shit, like was it just like, man, new guy isn't letting us sexually harass anymore.
