Chapter 1: What recent events are discussed regarding the Epstein files?
what's up what's up everybody welcome to a brand new episode of part of the problem whoo it's a it's a big one today how you doing rob i'm doing well how'd uh the boot bootlegging debate go
yes yes i just uh i just debated uh tim pool on a pierce morgan show it was very friendly you know i loved him and he knows that but he honestly once we got on there we kind of agreed on a lot of stuff and i also i was like in the boot well i said if tim wants to identify as a boot i will respect his pronouns so i started off like kind of with a you know a good good spirit but yeah actually it was uh it was a good time and it was nice to um to be back on uh on pierce morgan i feel uh
awful for you did you hear what happened with him he like fell and really fucked up like broke his femur and had to have his hip replaced and anything so but he's still pretty impressed he's this was only like a week maybe two weeks ago at most and he's doing the show he's not in the studio he's doing it like i think from home but he's still doing his show which i thought was just i don't know there's something and i really do say this don't
This is not at all an insult. I mean, this is the strongest possible compliment. But there's something about Piers Morgan that I just respect the shit out of. Like, even though he's had a million positions that I completely disagree with, but he is such a capitalist. Like, such a pure... Like, he...
It's like our love for comedy is his love for doing television and he's not going to miss his show. And that's awesome.
He's like, dude, they're stitching up the side of his hip with this new hip they just put in there. And he's like, Dave Smith and Tim Pool are beefing on Twitter. He's like, all right. All right, let's make that happen. You know, like, it's just, it's just great. I love it.
Do you feel bad if it's not more contentious? Like you didn't give Pierce the show he was looking for?
Dude, I swear to God, I almost, I made a joke about it up front where, cause Pierce started the thing, but cause we made up on Twitter, like, like Tim, you know, like tweeted at me after we did the segment and look, uh,
admittedly i was pretty harsh on him but like i kind of felt like he deserved it in the moment and um but so then we he tweeted on twitter he was like dave you're not even making a point here you're just making fun of me and i was like all right tim well you weren't really making a point either so i was just making fun of you but here's my argument you know and then i laid out my whole argument i wrote a long tweet and then he went i completely agree

Chapter 2: How do Dave and Robbie analyze Dan Bongino's podcast return?
Really looking forward to that. And then in a couple of weeks, we're right here in New Jersey.
uh at the the dojo of comedy which i love is a great little comedy club uh not too far uh from my house so very excited to go do that let's make sure we sell all those out comicdavesmith.com is the the website and then we're coming all over the place got a bunch of different uh well firstly i just added the shell in new hampshire uh i think that's on valentine's day so you know come do valentine's day and then uh we're doing that uh cool brewery down in perryville maryland also uh middle of the month
Yeah, I can't wait for that one. That's always fun. We haven't done that place or you've done it, but I haven't done it in a few years, but I always had a real good time down there. And then we got a bunch of, we also got gigs. Like we're going back to a bunch of my favorite markets like Boston and Chicago and Denver and, and, uh, all that stuff.
But then we're also doing a Pittsburgh and we got a date in Phoenix and we got just like a bunch of, a bunch of cool stuff I'm excited for. It's going to be, it's going to be a wild year, 2026. And well, Hey, it's been a wild weekend. It's been wild since our last show. I guess let's start with Epstein files.
So that was the the big news over the last few days is that the the the government released over three million pages of documents. Of files that don't exist, Rob. Which was just fascinating to me. Files that don't exist, and also there's three... You see, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, it's a lot like... It's like real advanced subatomic physics, you know?
Things cannot exist and also be more than three million of them at the same time. Like God. Yeah, kind of like God. It doesn't really make sense to you mere mortals, but that's essentially this whole thing. You know, I... I remember that when I ā so this is like ā because I've been a libertarian now for 20 years, just about, a little bit shy, I guess. It was 2007 that I got into this.
And so I've just been around for a while, and I remember this used to be like one of my old ā
talking points this is way before i had ever like knew anything about the jeffrey epstein scandal i like most of you guys didn't know about jeffrey epstein until he was arrested the second time in trump's first administration then i learned about like who this guy had been i hadn't heard of him before that um but i remember i used and i used to um like when i first started podcasting which like in around like 2012 i started doing part of the problem
I used to talk about this a lot. It was a big theme of mine. And in fact, even when I first did Ari Shaffir's podcast, this was one of the first things I started talking about.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the release of Epstein documents?
And this was the thing that Joe Rogan saw of me and then liked me and invited me on. If you ever see it, the first time I'm on Rogan's podcast, the first thing he ever brings up about me is he goes, he goes, oh, you were breaking down this Hillary Clinton audio tape.
um which he i he had he hadn't heard of like i introduced him to it and he was fascinated by it and so basically one of my old talking points used to be that it would be like okay so first step is like okay you learn like this libertarian
you know insight that governments are essentially gangs that's all this is is gang and it's just totally it's only that you've been mind that you think of government and gang as different things they are the same thing all the government is is the most powerful gang who took over you know like rothbard anatomy of the state but then after you kind of like you know
internalize that message then you start to get interested in the players because in the same way that like if you were thinking about like oh if i was telling you a story about like mob shit well okay you already know we're talking about mob shit here you're not like were they good guys or were they criminals you're like yeah well obviously they're they're all criminals but then you want to know the characters like and the thing about that when you understand that with government
When you understand that these are people who will lie you into a war so that their buddy can get rich, like they will comfortably decide to slaughter children by the hundreds of thousands and lose no sleep over it. You start to ask yourself, like, who the fuck are these people? Who are these people? How dark does it actually get?
And so anyway, I don't know if people know this or not, but if you're an old school fan of mine, you would because I talked about this all the time. But you can find this out there. There's a tape of Hillary Clinton where she's bragging about her days as a criminal defense lawyer when she got a pedophile off. And I'm not exaggerating when I say this.
It is the most sociopathic shit you've ever heard in your life. And by the way, it was like a four, no, I think she was like 12. It's like a 12 or 13 year old girl who got brutally anally raped. Okay. And then Hillary Clinton's telling the story about how They tricked the jury or they tricked the judge. And she's laughing as she does it.
She goes, we were able to convince them that this was a huge miscarriage of justice, that they were pinning it on this guy. So she's going, I know he did it. But we got him off and she's laughing about it. And you just stop and you're like, yo, what? And I remember the thing I said to Rogan back then. I used to say this was like one of my talking points.
You know, it was like the thing I was into in 2012. And then in 2015, when it looked like Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president, I was talking about this all the time. And I went, look, Hillary Clinton is married to a sexual predator. and her best friend is also married to a sexual predator.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Epstein files on political accountability?
Like, what are the odds of that? What are the odds of that amongst regular people that you'd be like, yo, your husband's a rapist and your friend's husband also sends dick pics to children. That is real. By the way, all that shit's confirmed. Like, you know, I mean, Bill Clinton's been accused by like six women of rape and settled with several of them.
And Anthony Weiner, Hillary Clinton's best friend's husband was, we found the text message. I mean, he was convicted of it. So anyway, I guess that almost is it. Like my biggest takeaway with the Epstein files we've seen so far, it's just like, yeah, we don't really know that much more than we already know. We've got some weird stuff for sure, which we could get into if you want to, Rob.
But it's just like you're left with this like, man, who the fuck are these people? And I'm not claiming to like know exactly. Like I'm not saying I have the whole thing worked out, but it is like the closer you get to it, it is so fucking dark. like just so dark and there's almost like there's there's obviously no answer here that isn't these people are like demonically evil

Chapter 5: How do the hosts interpret the claims about Iran's actions?
That's P-R-O-L-O-N-L-I-F-E dot com slash P-O-T-P to claim your 15% discount and your bonus gift. ProlonLife.com slash P-O-T-P. All right, let's get back into the show. Anyway, any thoughts that you had on it, Rob?
I feel like we're just back in the same exact place. So they released 3.5 million files. Apparently there's actually 6 million in total. So they've held a lot of the files back. The stated reason was either because it had images of death, pedophilia, or it was part of an ongoing investigation. So it would seem to me like the worse information found a way to not make its way to the public.
Not that I'm looking to see images of death or images of pedophilia, but But once you add on to that anything that's part of an ongoing investigation, you now have a mechanism for basically keeping anything that's extremely of interest away from the public. So we don't have all the files. We're still in the exact same thing of are they going to release the files?
Then of the files that came out, you've got insane claims. It sounds like an old Alex Jones show. They're throwing babies off a boat. They're eating. They're cooking babies and chicken. Like some of the George W. Bush is raping kids. They're killing girls and throwing them under the ninth hole. It trumps whatever. So you've got a bunch of unsubstantiated claims that are completely batshit crazy.
You got some references to pizzas, which was real weird. But. I threw it all. I don't listen. I think everyone's best bet is still this guy with some sort of an intelligence asset. And there was an element of blackmail for all the talk of pedophilia. I'm not saying that people aren't pedophile pedophiles, but it does seem like most of the girls are kind of like in the 18 to 24 range.

Chapter 6: What controversies arise from the discussion on Iran?
It doesn't seem like they're which might just be all the retracted information. So I don't know. I don't know what to make of the story other than they're clearly still just not interested in investigating it because there's hundreds of leads of co-accomplices that they're not really investigating.
yeah well i mean i think that there's it's funny because even if you think about it there's almost like a range of where of what this could possibly fall into like what was really going on here i mean at the very least what we kind of have conclusively is that this was a guy who was involved in like the very highest level of kind of like shadow diplomacy.
Like he's working out deals between all types of powerful people. He claims in an email, he himself claims to be an agent of the Rothschilds, which is interesting, you know, and that, uh, um, I believe, I'm like 99% sure of this, but I believe that Alan Dershowitz has said that the Rothschilds, one of the Rothschilds, are who connected him and Epstein to begin with.
But so, look, there's always been...
essentially like the theory that's floating in the back that a lot of people on the internet, and if I'm being completely honest, probably myself and you too, not to say that we're saying like, we know this to be 100% true, but the suspicion has always been that the dude was blackmailing powerful Americans, including financial, cultural, and political leaders on behalf of Israel.
Now, that has not been conclusively demonstrated. But at the very least... He was clearly very close with Israeli interests, including the Mossad, very close with powerful Zionist billionaires. And he himself was partying with young girls with all these powerful men. And he at least crossed that line of legal into underage illegal sex. Right. So.
Again, what exactly, you know, like where exactly you put it in the... Either way, you got to say here, like this is, if I zoom out, the more meta take on all of this is like, this just looks... It's so devastating for the Trump administration, man, just on every like the mishandling of this is legendary.
Like, I mean, it'll go down in history if we all survive as like one of the worst handled political scandals. The fact that the fact is that there's just no getting around this is that. All of the all of the people at the top of the administration in relation to this, meaning the Justice Department and the White House just fucking lied through their goddamn teeth, dude.
It was last summer that Donald Trump said there are no files. It's a Democratic hoax. Pam Bondi, same thing. Dan Bongino and Kash Patel. They've seen the proof that he killed himself.

Chapter 7: How does Don Lemon's recent incident factor into the conversation?
There's nothing there. Let's all move on. The voters don't care about this. They all look really bad, too, because, of course, people do really care about this. But as I'm sure you'd agree, Rob, if the claim here is that this is a guy who...
was connected to intelligence agencies was connected to powerful oligarchs was connected to a network of billionaires and in fact within this network of billionaires seems to at least be the one kind of bullying other billionaires around a guy like this and then in a maximum security prison the cameras go out and he ends up dead and there's this whole thing
if this network was powerful enough to orchestrate this whole thing, I'm pretty sure they were powerful enough to get the really sensitive documents out before, you know what I mean? Or have them redacted or have them, you know, like, so there's just... I think the expectation that the smoking gun, smoking gun, smoking gun document is going to be in any of these dumps is kind of silly.
And I think me and you both said this at least a year ago. But for the Trump administration to run on, we're going to get to the bottom of this, full transparency. And then just the way this has been done, where, where these guys like Thomas Massey heroically forces their hand.
And then they just dump millions of documents on us without, you know, it's just, it just couldn't be a worse story for the administration.
So just two other interesting little tidbits. First is I enjoyed that, you know, there's certain archetypes that just remain their archetypes. And Bill Gates is kind of a fat nerd and
he decided to show up to the party and came home with an std i just think that's kind of hilarious um and then i was watching clips of uh epstein on with bannon i don't know if you watched that i didn't watch the full two hours but i saw a bunch of it yeah i watched a bunch of clips and the thing that i found most striking to me was that bannon is just assuming and kind of selling us on the idea that this is a brilliant finance guy
And at no point in the interview does he actually ask him, so where did you make your money? What were some of the trades that you made big money on? What was your investment strategy? And it's just assumed as a given throughout the entire thing that he's a brilliant mathematical mind and someone of your cat, like he's treating him like you're talking to, um, what's his name?
Warren Buffett or somebody who's got this public track record of being an extraordinary financial mind. And he's, It's just assumed throughout the entire interview without any questions to kind of delve. It felt like I was being sold by Bannon on the storyline of this guy's a financial genius.

Chapter 8: What conclusions do the hosts draw about media narratives?
It seemed like kind of...
know like a dumb guy pontificating about a lot of things like me it seemed like me rob like it seemed like it just seemed like a like a guy who's kind of like i don't know he's doing the whole thing about like what is life and what is not life and what is the soul it's like and it's like it sounded to me like a junior in high school getting high and like talking about the world you're like this ain't that impressive and like i don't know there's something about
it's been a theme you know that a lot of us have noticed there is something about like really unimpressive elites are something that categorize this stage in american history um but anyway that was not that that's like the most important thing but i just found that really interesting yeah steve bennett keeps like kind of sucking his dick about how brilliant he is the whole time and then like you said robin's like it's not he was saying it almost like he's talking to carnegie
or something like that, where it's like, look, we all know, obviously like your achievements have just been set, but none of us know your achievement. What are you talking about? Like, what did he actually do? What did he do? So that was interesting.
I do look, I think there's no question that there's, um, there's a, there's widespread sloppiness with how people are interpreting all of these things. Like there there'll be like pictures of Jeffrey Epstein with like a kid, um, but it's like blacked out. But you can see the arm is clearly like a child. But then it's like, That's all like, we have no idea.
It's like, is the implication that then he went and did something to this kid or could this have just been like his friend's kid or something? You know, like we just have no idea. And even the thing with Bill Gates, it was weird. There's no, Bill Gates didn't admit to anything. It's Jeffrey Epstein wrote an email to Bill Gates, which I think he didn't send.
I think it was a draft of an email to Bill Gates saying, like reminding him about the time when, that he needed to secretly give his wife antibiotics because he brought her home an STD.
I've got to write more drafts about incidences that never took place about people that I either don't like or are having a hot moment with.
Well, the reason why that one was one of the most interesting ones, though, is because, look, the...
