Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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. What's going on with you? Good friend.
Nothing much. Just put out some new sketches. Go check it out. Robbie the fire. All women are on YouTube. If you've got a porch for me, the fire ticks.com. You live out in New York city. I just added my first headlining gig, a porch store in Astoria and all sorts of stuff coming up. Got, got dates confirmed. Just got to do the homework. Got to set it up.
Not fun. That's not the fun part, but the fun part is coming out to the show. And then, of course, coming up pretty soon here, Rob, we are getting only a little more than a week out from Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City. May 1st, we're in Tulsa. May 2nd and 3rd, we're in Oklahoma City. Both are Bricktown Comedy Clubs, which we... Have we done that run twice before or once before? We loved it.
I remember loving it. All those guys, all their clubs are fantastic. And then, of course, we'll be out at the Improv in Phoenix, Arizona. Toronto, we got one night, two shows, June 5th. And then the Denver run is up after that. Then a bunch of, which was... Maybe the best weekend of comedy we've ever done last year. So really looking forward to being back there.
And yeah, and then a whole bunch of stuff coming up this summer and into the fall. Comicdavesmith.com for all of those dates. And yeah, I feel like there was something else I wanted to say, but I can't remember. Oh, I was on the Tom Woods show we recorded yesterday and it just came out today. If you haven't, go check that out. Tom Woods. And by the way, check out Tom Woods show in general.
His library is like the best. He is the OG goat libertarian podcaster. Like if there's if you I mean, he's done thousands at this point, but he's covered every topic and been right about every topic. And man, I'm sure if I searched long and hard enough, I could find something Tom Woods has been wrong about. But he is pretty damn good on everything.
Anyway, there's a few things I wanted to talk about on today's show, but I guess we do have to open with just like the latest in the Iran war, which is still, you know, in this era. Was I ceasefire limbo state? What? I don't know, Rob. What's the latest? What is the latest dumb thing that President Trump posted on Truth Social that you sent to me?
Well, the latest is they're trying to concoct a narrative that I guess Donald Trump has worked out a deal But the Iranians can't agree on the deal because there's multiple factions. And so now the Iranians have to get their shit together because the Donald Trump team totally put together, worked out a fair deal. The Iranians have even agreed to it. But now you've got too many factions in Iran.
The point that this overlooks is that if you hadn't killed... The Ayatollah, you wouldn't be dealing with multiple factions and unable to negotiate. So this once again sounds like a problem of Donald Trump's own creation. But the latest is we've not only won the war and we can continue to win the war, but we've even, I guess, brokered a deal.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in the Iran war?
But the propagandist is not playing that game. It doesn't really matter to them whether they're proven wrong in the future or proven right in the future. You can see that all the people who supported the war in Iraq are the same ones who are supporting the war in Iran right now.
The point of the point of propaganda, the point of 14 days to flatten the curve is not it's so that if you accept that, well, now we've got you. And yes, down the road, we can all abandon this and admit that it was never 14 days. And in fact, we need three months to flatten the curve.
Oh, it's going to be six months, maybe nine months, maybe four years to flatten the curve, you know, like whatever it might take. But the point is that like once you accept that now you're in the middle of lockdowns. And it's a lot harder to get from lockdowns out of lockdowns than to prevent lockdowns from ever happening.
And so what, you know, it's very easy for someone like Mark Levin to make the argument, we can put boots on the ground, we can do this, no problem. But we all know, Rob, if we put boots on the ground and a few of them are taken hostage by the Iranians, Mark Levin's not going to go, I was proven wrong, therefore we got to go home.
He's going to go, you would leave your boys behind, you scum, you know, or whatever. And like, So this is constantly what the propagandists do. And if you even just try, Try to spot the truth tellers from the propagandists. It's really not that hard to do. But what the propagandists always have to do is just get through today's bullshit in order to get the policy moving.
And they will speak with complete certainty and smear you with moral indignation and all of that. Because by the time you realize they're all full of shit, well, it's kind of too late in a way. We already got boots on the ground in that scenario. But yes, I mean, I'm sorry.
I just I find it impossible to believe that Mark Levin really believes that we could with with what type of like with special forces, we could have a uranium extraction effort. Have you seen there's been a few like military experts who have like broken down what it would take? in order to actually do this? You have to build runways for planes to land.
Is there such an operation that you'd have to do on the ground? And of course, the whole time, you're just a sitting duck target. So this is all... This is all completely made up. Mark Levin does not care about extracting the enriched uranium.
Mark Levin cares about this regime falling because Israel views them as an existential threat, which I don't believe they really are, but that's the Israeli perspective. And that's one of the things... You know, it's true in every war in my lifetime. Every single war in my lifetime, D.C.
