What are the implications of potential military action against Iran?
What's up, what's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem. I am Dave Smith. He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein. Good to be with you people. Good to be with you, Rob. How are you today?
I'm doing well. How are you, Mr. Smith?
I'm good. You know what I started thinking about that's actually been putting me in a good mood is that we're going to Key West in a few weeks. Oh, yeah, I got to book that flight.
I could use that vacation right now. Let's go.
Oh, dude, it's a... This is... I don't know why it's not like the biggest club, but I loved that so much going down there last year. Just really, really fun when you live in New Jersey or in Rob's case, Connecticut, but same point in February to just go down to Key West for a few days and just relax.
I haven't been drinking, smoking or anything. I'm going to make up for all that in Key West.
it is uh i keep telling myself you're going to key west in two weeks relax yeah no it's impossible to not drink in key west i'm pretty sure it's illegal they might just shoot you on the street yeah you can't you can't touch those roosters but you could shoot a man who's not drinking in key west i think like you have to be within two feet of a cocktail at all times like you got to be able to grab ones
How does Gavin Newsom's podcast with Ben Shapiro address Israel?
that's yes and i didn't make it up but i will go there every year um so yeah looking forward to that just also because uh just particularly because it's been i mean for those of you guys who aren't on the northeast it's been fucking frigid out here man it's like uh i think and it's supposed to be it was like 10 degrees yesterday it's like 10 degrees today i think it's supposed to be in the negatives in the next couple days it's a real good time yeah it's a real good time to Dip down to Key West for a little bit. Yeah. Okay. So I wanted to, for today's show, I want to talk about something, which is, it's a bit of a broad theme. And then there's several different kind of examples of what it is I'm talking about.
Something I'm very concerned with. And because we've been saying for a while, Rob, right? Like, there's just the United States of America is a very weird position right now. Very strange. And I, I try, you know, like they say, history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes or something. And things are kind of cyclical. So when you try to understand these things, you try to like, look for, you know, other moments in history that had some similarities, but it's very hard to find one. Cause this is such a unique moment. And, you know, essentially like, as we talked about through kind of all of last year, it was one of the biggest themes of last year that like the, the, The government's propaganda apparatus has essentially been shattered.
There is no more consensus on anything. And in fact, to the extent that there is a consensus, it's almost like, hours like the the podcast scenes consensus you know um like like i'm just saying like you know when they used to say like the the scientific consensus on covid or something like that well what's the consensus on covid now i guess it's kind of like oh the government everything up the media lied to everybody that's kind of the consensus now but there's no like real apparatus that the government has which they always have And particularly in modern nation states, like they've just always had this. And so it does, there is this weird feeling, right? It kind of feels like, you remember in the old cartoons, Rob, when like a character would like run off a cliff, but then they make it a few more steps and then they have a moment where they pause and then they look down and then they fall.
It feels like we're right about to look down. But like, we're like, it just, there's, look, I mean, Donald Trump, think about, The last year, the year that was 2025 and how much like the pro-Israel arguments just got completely destroyed. You know, all the anti-war people were ascending and all the war hawks are just getting embarrassed. And then as a result of that, Donald Trump's going more hawkish than he's ever gone before.
