I'm very excited to get back out on the road. I need to. With you.
You can see you just like deteriorate more and more when you're not constantly traveling, doing comedy than it is. And I know it's a pain in the ass to be doing it, but you're just, yeah, you're in that. You're in that zone until you until you get married and have kids. That's when it's just it's just too much. Like as soon as you start sitting still, you're like, I got to go out and do stuff.
Then Rob sitting there organizing his closet for the millionth time. Oh, goddamn Adderall up. Well, we got we got a bunch of stuff coming up. Actually, let me pull this up because I think some more dates got added. I don't know. Rob, did they talk to you? Are you going to the they say you can't do the Maryland one? No, I'm there with you. You are there with me. Okay. Awesome.
I don't know why I had that in my head. But so we got coming up next is Comedy Key West. After that, we'll be at Fifth Company Brewing. That's the Maryland spot, right? Yes. Perryville. Perryville, Maryland. And I love that spot. We haven't been there in a few years, but it's really cool. Fun. Really cool brewery with like a bunch of different craft beers that they make there.
It's a really, really awesome spot. Then we're at the Dojo of Comedy right here in New Jersey. Love a good gig where I can sleep in my own bed that night. But always a lot of fun at that club. Then we will be out in Pittsburgh. just added Pittsburgh, then doing the runs, Boston, Rosemont, Chicago, Tulsa, Oklahoma city, a bunch of our favorite spots.
And then I know later in the year, we're coming back. I know we're going back to Denver Comedy Works. A bunch of really, really fun stuff coming up this year. So ComicDaveSmith.com for all those tickets. You know, last year was like our best year of touring that we've ever had together. So really looking forward to 2026, which Rob, if you're keeping track, has already been quite a year.
It's January 27th, Rob. It's like, I feel like 2026 has already had a year's worth of stuff in it. And the last 24 to 48 hours have been pretty wild. And so anyway, since our last podcast way back yesterday in what I can only describe as quintessential Trumpian fashion, it looks like Donald Trump's backing down on Minneapolis.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in Trump's ICE policies?
It's also just really dumb. You're battling down really dumb things. It doesn't even make you right wing to oppose those things. It just makes you normal. And I don't know, whatever. It makes no sense. But it's like, so you're going, oh, I'm indistinguishable from a leftist. Well, how about the fact that I'm on your side of the culture war issues that you made your career off of?
But that doesn't count all of a sudden. All of a sudden, my position on... guns or money or surveillance or the size of government or welfare or you know like any of it none of that matters anymore You know, it's like, I don't know. I just find that to be an interesting admission in a way. This is the type of shit you get from the Daily Wire guys.
Like, well, you're all critical of Israel as if that's the only policy that matters anymore. And there can't be agreement between left wingers and right wingers on that subject. So anyway, that was one. And then I saw I saw both Tim Pool and Nick Fuentes were coming at me. Oh, well, maybe maybe Tim Pool wasn't, but I just took it. that way. We'll hear it. Tell me, tell me if I'm wrong.
I took this as him was that he was talking about me, but he didn't say my name in it, but here let's play the daily wire move. Well, he might have. Well, Tim can't pretend not to know me. I've been on his show seven times. But no, well, I thought maybe this is just my own, me being a little self-centered here or something like that. But I thought like, oh, he must be talking about me.
But yeah, let's play the Tim Pool clip because you tell me if I'm not being, either way, it's worth responding to because he's talking about libertarians. But yeah, let's play it.
These liberals who all of a sudden are libertarians and all of a sudden love 2A. And the Lulberts. I love the Lulberts. You know why I love libertarians so much? Because whenever a fight breaks out, they fold like cheap suits. So I don't have to worry about them at all.
These libertarians come out and they're like, look, I'm concerned about immigration, but I don't think the government should be allowed. And I'm like, bro, by all means, scream into the wind. Because if anything actually has to happen, you're going to stand there with our arms crossed while we do the jobs that need to be done.
Just pause it already for a second. Pause it right there. So I took that as he was talking about me. I don't know. Maybe not. But like I literally I was trending on Twitter for having a post saying like I'm I'm a border hawk. But at the same time, I think this is out of control. So it just seemed like when he was like these libertarians are saying, yes, I'm concerned with immigration.
But like it just seemed like that. That's what he's talking about. But maybe not. If I'm sorry, go ahead.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Trump's recent actions in Minneapolis?
You're not going to get in any type of fight, Tim. And if a fight is brought to your door, you will call law enforcement, who I believe you have a pretty good relationship with. And that's what you will get other men to do your fighting. And by the way, I'm not sitting here and trying to say like, oh, I'm the big tough guy.
exactly the equal amount of toughness in Tim taking his position and me taking my position. Mine is a lot more coherent and intelligent, but neither of them are more manly than the other. Neither of them are more, you're willing to get in a fight where you're afraid of a fight. I just, I find this stuff to be... Like the lowest IQ, most immature takes on politics. I don't know.
All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Cove Pure. We've all been through the holiday season where you put a beating on your body. And now we're in the new year where you pledge to do a little bit better. But here's a simple thing that you can change right now. Drink cleaner water.
Chapter 4: How does Dave Smith respond to criticism about immigration enforcement?
There's a ton of garbage that's in our water. And Cove Pure changes that immediately.

Guy's afraid of the sight of his own head. I think he's going to go into a town and start rounding up legal immigrants. I don't believe it.
And I love Tim. I mean, you know, Tim's been good to me. He's always been cool. He's had me on his very big platform many times. I am grateful for that. And I respect what Tim's built. But it's like, I don't know, dude, you're essentially calling us all pussies. Like, it's hard to not respond to that with like, really? Are we? I don't know, dude.
Like he said, I don't have the evil kahunas to stomach such as such sites and true conservatives are okay with random people being killed by ice in the streets because, Hey, you got to kill a couple of your own civilians. If you're going to enforce a policy.
and even when he goes it's also so weak and always like trying to you know like uh it reminds me of the the iran propaganda maybe we could get into that uh today if we have time uh because it's pretty crazy but you know when they'll say the thing where they'll go oh all you guys who were speaking up about gaza all of a sudden are real quiet as the iranian government's mowing down its own people or something and you're like okay first of all
totally different situation. Our government's not funding it. I'm not supporting the Iranian government killing people. So like that's not an apples to apples comparison.
But then you're like, but aren't you ignoring the much more obvious hypocrisy, which is that the people who actually did support what Israel was doing and support us funding them all of a sudden are acting like they're humanitarians. who care about people in much, much, much, much lower numbers getting killed.

Chapter 5: What are the moral implications of mass deportations discussed in the episode?
You are not facing taxation without representation. So while you can try to rebel, you will be conquered by your betters. So the argument right now is this. I'll put it simply. First of all, when these people come out and go, Tim's a bootlicker for defending us. I'm like, no, no, you misunderstand. It's my boots. It's mine. I voted for them. I'm wearing the boot. I'm stomping on the ground.
I ain't licking anybody. I'm clapping for these people that I said, please go out and enforce the law. And anybody else who's cheering for who voted for it, too.
Chapter 6: How does the concept of mass deportations play into current political discourse?
We're all wearing the boots. You're the one crying.
Chapter 7: How does the episode address the relationship between libertarians and right-wing politics?
You're the one saying you're coming in here. Tim.
Brother. This is the cringiest shit I've ever seen in my life. This is the gayest, cringiest shit I've ever seen. You are an eight-year-old boy playing with action figures right now, but you're an adult broadcasting this to hundreds of thousands of people. Like, this is just so goddamn... I mean, I don't know.
Like, dude, this has crossed the line of, like, it's not even in political commentary anymore. You're, like, in some type of fetish right now. You're wearing the boot. I'm wearing the boot, and I'm crushing everybody. I crushed you and I crushed you. Like, Tim, what the fuck are you doing right now, bro? You're spurging out. You're not crushing anyone, dude. Like, don't get me wrong.
You're very successful. You've made millions and millions of dollars with your show. You're sitting in a house playing video games, bro. I've seen your setup. You're not wearing any boots. You're not crushing anybody. Oh, by the way, hey, Tim Pool, they just backed down. Was that your decision? Did you take off your boots and start walking in the opposite direction?
I thought you wanted to keep doing this. That's so weird, dude. It's almost like you're not actually making any decisions. You're just simping for other men and feeling some sense of toughness somehow through it. It is fucking weird, dude. I'm sorry. It is a weird fucking thing to see. Again, listen, as I caveated on the last show, maybe some more information about that shooting comes out.
Maybe there's something we didn't know that comes out. But all the information we have right now looks like an indefensible bad shooting, you know, debatably murder. But you take that immediately and just start talking about how you're not bootlicking. You're not bootlicking because you're wearing the boot. Like, so is there ever such a thing as bootlicking, Tim?
Like, because you've used the term before. I've heard you. But then couldn't everybody always just say that? No, it's my boot. No, it's not, dude. No, it's not. Tim, you pay the government millions of dollars in taxes. Tim has paid this government millions of dollars. And I don't even mean this government as in the Trump administration. Because, I mean, come on. What, honestly, like...
It's honestly, it's a... It's a sophomoric way of viewing the regime to even think it's a completely new regime under Donald Trump. Like as if the cabal of big banks and big pharmaceutical companies and big weapons companies and deep state actors who control this whole apparatus just lost all control when Donald Trump came in. Like, no, there's a few different players in here, but it's the same.
So anyway, Tim Pool has paid millions of dollars over the last few years. um to a government who's doing a bunch of things with his money that he hates He was not for funding the war in Ukraine. I think if you pushed him to it, he'd say he's not for funding Israel either. He was not for lockdowns. He was not for vax mandates. And yet your money, Tim, helped pay for it. Okay?

Chapter 8: What critiques are made regarding the effectiveness of ICE operations?
That's not Nazism. That's the basis of any society. That's the basis of any order. You cannot have radical nut jobs vetoing elections and laws and the maintenance of order in a society. That is ridiculous. And by the way, you know, I see a lot of people on Twitter. I saw Dave Smith say this and others too.
They say, you know, I'm all in favor of immigration restriction, but I don't like these heavy-handed tactics. Okay, well, how do you think we're going to do it exactly? You want to deport a million people per year. That's 4,000 people per day. They don't want to leave. They have it too good here. They would rather take the chance because America is so much better.
They'd rather take their chances with ICE and Border Patrol and DHS because America is so much richer than go back home voluntarily. They don't want to go. How do you get 4,000 people every single day to leave the country when they don't want to leave? Well, you have to coercively remove them. You have to show up with guns, with overwhelming force, using intelligence.
And with respect to law enforcement, you need to do it in such a way where law enforcement is not put in jeopardy. You have to pick these people up, throw them in a car, put them in a cage, and then take them back to where they came from. How do you do this without somebody being accidentally arrested somewhere? 4,000 per day, 365 days a year.
How do you do this without one person being accidentally arrested? It can't happen. Okay, well, now you have left-wing agitators showing up in every city, in Chicago, in LA, in Minneapolis, rioting, firebombing the facilities, harassing ICE. Now you have a hostile environment. Local police will not respond to distress calls from federal law enforcement.
The local government is giving sanctuary to these people. They're actively enabling and emboldening the agitators. So what now? You got to deport 4,000 people per day, plus you got to do it while you're being chased and shot at and boxed in and firebombed, and you think nobody's going to die? You think not one person is going to die. They're using vehicles as weapons. They're showing up armed.
You've got tick tocks with 10 million views saying we have to show up with guns and have a standoff with law enforcement. And you say, well, you know, I'm in favor of mass deportations, but I don't think violence is acceptable to achieve it.
OK, OK. You're not really in favor. OK, so the thing so essentially, I guess that's here. You know what? You could just finish it because I guess that was getting right to the end of the clip. So let me let him make his final point.
To achieve that, you're not really in favor of mass deportations then. Sorry, that's what's involved in this.
