Chapter 1: What events led to the discussion on censorship in this episode?
What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem. I am Dave Smith. Of course, he is Roberto Zephyr Bernstein. I don't know. I just did different.
I like that. That made me feel good. Let's keep that every time.
It got French for a minute. Anyway. Me and Rob are on our way to Tulsa this Friday night, and then we'll be in Oklahoma City Saturday and Sunday night. That's going to be a lot of fun. We got two shows in Tulsa on Friday, two shows in Oklahoma City on Saturday, one show together at Breakdown on Sunday, and then Rob has a late night secret show. There you go.
Yeah, come out on the porch. I'm running my FBI presentation. And then next weekend, I got two gigs in Connecticut and one in Long Island City. Just out of Detroit. A whole bunch of stuff going on. You can find all the dates at robbernsteincomedy.com.
Hell yeah. And then, of course, ComicDaveSmith.com for all the other dates that all the Bricktown shows together. And then we got, I think, quite a bit of dates coming up on the road. Real quick, let me just shout them out here. After Tulsa and Oklahoma City this weekend, our next stop is next week in Phoenix, Arizona.

Is Huntsville where NASA is?
I thought NASA was in Houston? Maybe. That's where they have a problem. Or that's who you tell if you have a problem. I know that much about NASA. No, you know, I know they've got... I don't know. I think they have offices in D.C. Also, maybe they do in Huntsville. I'm not sure. But anyway, let's get into some stuff, Rob, because we got a lot of stuff going on.
There's the war, which seems to be on the precipice of perhaps starting back up in a bad way. There are open and not as open calls for censorship in the wake of this shooting. You know, I think one of the things I think... I don't know, man. I just talk too much, so I can't remember. Did we say this on the show yesterday?

Chapter 2: How is the Iran war impacting global politics?
Like, he just will not go in that direction. And that's something kind of interesting. And it's just, again, it's crazy to watch such a blatant, objective security failure. And then his response is how great the Secret Service did. Like, right after Butler, he was talking about how great they did. It's like, that was not great. I'm sorry. That was not a good job.
Yeah.
no one plays along with a fake shooting better than my secret service they played their parts perfectly great actors they should get academy awards all right guys let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show which is sheath underwear of course we love them they've been long time sponsors of our podcast years i believe almost four years uh they've been with the show i still have the first pair of underwear that they ever sent me and they're still as comfortable as they were when they first sent them to me it's

Let's let's talk a bit about some of the calls for censorship, blatant direct calls for censorship now that are coming out of this, which is quite, quite fascinating and revealing. But I guess we should talk for a little bit up front here about the war.
Um, cause you know, we're still, we're still in a war guys, even though this shooting may have given us a few days of, uh, other things to, to focus on. Um, I don't know, like from what you've been reading about this Rob, but I, you know, I, as I've mentioned several times on the show here, a lot drop site, uh, Jeremy Scahill, uh, his coverage has just been phenomenal and really, really helpful.
to trying your best to understand what's going on here. But essentially, Rob, the the negotiations have completely stalled and fallen apart. This is now look, I'm not saying that the Iranian regime always tells the truth or nothing like that.
um in fact they do not they they they lie and they have throughout the years many times lied and threatened things and had a lot of bluster when they didn't really mean it um it does seem to me i could say pretty confidently at this point that if you've just been reading jeremy scahill and everything that the the iranian government is saying which i was not sure about at the beginning i mean i've been reading him the whole time but you know when

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Mark Levin's call for censorship?
I'm sure Fuentes would be down to face Mark Levin, too. So you want to post like I'm calling you out like now you're really not. You're just calling for our censorship because, you know, you can't win the argument. That's as that's as simple as it is. Here, let's we could just play the clip.
Who does more to call out the woke Reich, R-E-I-C-H, than I? Nobody. Others are now, and that's a very good thing. The president has done a tremendous job. He's basically excommunicated them. But the things that a Tucker Carlson says or a Bannon says, this guy Fuentes is a lowlife, the things that he says and the way he says it and so forth.
And then you have Theo Vaughn, comedians like this guy Dave Smith. You know, things that Rogan's saying, these other people say. Not as much, but still. Yeah.
Chapter 4: How do the hosts critique Mark Levin's views on free speech?
all contributes to the environment. You can be aggressive. You can use foul language. I'd rather not. You can explain the facts. If somebody believes in an ideology that would overthrow our country, overthrow our constitutional system, overthrow our economic system, well, of course we're going to discuss that. I've written books about that.
Or the Islamists and the jihadis, their mentality, their doctrine, where it comes from, what they intend to do, and so forth and so on. Of course it's important to talk about that. But when you're talking about Donald Trump, he's not talking about overthrowing our government, overthrowing our economic system. He's no dictator. Now, if you like this little clip that you just saw.
Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Play the rest. Play the rest. Hold on. I have to see him do a little YouTube video. I'm sorry. Just watching 80-year-olds do this is very entertaining to me.
Please head over to YouTube and subscribe or rumble and follow and tell everybody you know.
Oh, the nerve. He's promoting Rumble. Oh, my God, dude. You know what? I can't even hold this against him because he's just too old to even understand any of this. You know why Rumble exists? You fucking fraud, Mark Levin. Do you know why Rumble is a platform? Because in the midst of all of this, they took a stand that they won't kick people off.
While people were being censored off every other platform. That's literally the entire pitch of rumble is going against the entire last segment that he just delivered. But Rob, I mean, dude, what can you, I don't, he didn't get to a point in there.
So I don't exactly know what to like debunk about this, but his whole thing where it's like, he's, he's going essentially at one point, he's going, look, you can make your criticisms, but like, yo, you can't take it this far or something like,
well uh pull up the tweet again because he spells it out in the tweet and he says i want to make a clear distinction between and uh okay yeah sure let's read this okay a clear line between strong political commentary and what i see is reckless rhetoric well why do you get to make that distinction and are you looking to dude you open the clip by calling us the woke reich you open you know what the reich is you open the clip calling us nazis
And, dude, like, also, what the fuck are you talking about, man? Like, look, don't get me wrong. I would not call Nick Fuentes a Nazi. I don't think that's accurate. But, like, okay, Nick has certainly not guarded against being called that, right? So, like, he is on record... intentionally making kind of provocative statements like Hitler was really cool.
