"It's obvious the reason why Sam Harris doesn't want to get into the history of it is because that might be kind of humanizing toward the other side, and clearly what he's in business of doing is dehumanizing them. And that's the whole game." Dave Smith and Robbie Bernstein dismantle Sam Harris' ridiculous "Why I Won’t Debate Critics of Israel" article on Substack.

“Dave Smith’s Morality Is Actually Evil” Dave Smith is evil. Or, if you prefer to be charitable, his morality is; and that makes his worldview, and how he acts in the world, evil in practice. Dave Smith would know that if he was actually Jewish. Judaism does not judge morality by thoughts or intentions but by actions… and by that standard, Dave Smith is evil. Dave Smith is one of the loudest online voices opposed to Israel. He uses social media—most notably Joe Rogan’s bullhorn—to spread that opposition. And not through facts, expertise, or serious moral reasoning: Dave Smith doesn’t debate with facts, as Coleman Hughes pointed out. Dave Smith doesn’t understand urban warfare, as John Spencer made obvious. And Dave Smith doesn’t have a clue how to actually combat terrorism or defeat genocidal enemies, as Dave Smith himself ineptly revealed on TRIGGERnometry elsewhere. But if Dave Smith were merely a liar, an ignoramus, or a clown, that would be fine. It’s 2026. Social media is full of clowns. What makes Dave Smith dangerous is something worse. Dave Smith is a coward. He claims to be “anti-war” as a philosophy. In reality, he’s anti-war because he lacks the moral courage to confront evil. His worldview is built on refusal: refusal of responsibility, refusal of force, refusal of hard moral choices. That cowardice becomes evil when applied to the real world. Dave Smith is so reflexively anti-war that he uses Israel as a cudgel against the Iranian people themselves; people actively risking their lives to overthrow one of the most brutal, murderous regimes on earth. Let’s be clear about that regime: •It murders its own Olympians •It murders women for dancing or showing their hair •It murders people for protesting those murders Even if Dave Smith were right about Israel—and he isn’t—it would still be a moral good to oppose the Iranian regime. But because his morality is not rooted in Western Enlightenment philosophy—responsibility, agency, just war, moral clarity—Dave Smith collapses everything into childish transitive logic: “Israel bad! Therefore anyone who supports Israel is immoral. And therefore anyone who supports the Iranian people is also immoral.” This isn’t moral seriousness. It’s intellectual sloth. Dave Smith lies about genocide in Israel. Then, because of his immoral framework, he turns 2+2 into BREAKFAST! His worldview doesn’t just misunderstand evil… it incentivizes it. He treats any military action against terrorists or murderous regimes as inherently immoral. He has no answer for how evil is defeated. No framework for stopping genocidal enemies. No solution beyond posturing. And that’s the point. A morality that refuses to confront evil is not neutral. A philosophy that allows evil to flourish is itself evil. If you allow evil to flourish—and do nothing to stop it—you are complicit. If this were merely cowardice, maybe Dave Smith wouldn’t be evil. But he goes further: he actively condemns those who take the fight to terrorists and tyrants. “I’m anti-war,” he says… while excusing those who start wars, butcher civilians, and rule through terror. That isn’t peace. That’s surrender dressed up as virtue. Dave Smith is an unserious thinker who relies on his audience being just as unserious: “Israel bad! Ergo people who support Israel and also support the Iranian people are bad!” Dave Smith thinks you are immoral for supporting Israel in its war to defeat genocidal terrorists. And he thinks you are immoral for supporting the Iranian people who are trying to defeat a murderous, oppressive theocratic regime. Dave Smith is a liar. Dave Smith is a coward. And Dave Smith believes that defeating evil—in the only way it has ever been defeated, through force when necessary—is itself evil. If you think defeating evil is wrong like Dave Smith, you’re evil. Welcome to the Dave Smith Comedy Tour: acting morally righteous while ensuring evil flourishes… and attacking those trying to stop it.

Dave Smith and Emily Austin briefly discuss Israel on PBD's Election Night show. Dave: “It really hurt Kamala Harris that she was tied to this regime, and they're supporting Israel conducting this war and genocide.” Emily: “Well I'm voting for Trump because he supports Israel.” Dave: “They've spent a year protesting what they view as a genocide, and by the way, they're right more than you are.”

Devastated to hear we’ve lost the great Sam Moore, from that electric Atlantic/Stax duo, Sam & Dave. “It was our passion,” Sam told me in London in 2009. “When we got on that stage, we would do anything to please the audience.” Thank you for the music, Sam. Now watch this!👇

“Dave Smith; the Pennywise of Pacifism” “Comic” Dave Smith is currently in an X spat with Dan Crenshaw over the perils of war. Yes, Dave Smith is staring at Crenshaw with two good eyes and telling Crenshaw’s eye patch about war. Hubris, thy name be “Comic” Dave Smith. Dave Smith presents himself as the anti-war guy despite LOVING and INCENTIVIZING all the worst actors in history: The terrorists who committed genocide against Israel and Israelis on October 7th? According to Dave Smith, “well, what do you think happens when you occupy somebody for 60 (sic) years?” Want to ensure more wars? Excuse the people who commit genocide and complain about the people who sacrifice their own soldiers so as to avoid as many civilian casualties as possible. EVERY war starting entity should be so lucky as to go to war against Israel. Don’t believe me? Ask the Ukrainians. Dave Smith’s current favorite current historian? Martyr Made, AKA “the Churchill was the main villain of World War II guy.” Boo the world savers? Yay the Hitler stans? What’s next, “why Mao was the greatest hop scotch player of all-time?” If you think that’s a leap, you don’t know what I’m talking about. And that’s Dave Smith. He’s loud. He’s confident. And he doesn’t have a fucking clue what he’s talking about. His morality doesn’t belong in the United States of American. Every debate with him should never move past this one issue: Why do you defend the war starters? Why do YOU—the anti-war guy—incentivize wars? Because you, Dave, are why many young men are dead in Israel AND Gaza. You, Dave, are why many young men and women in Israel don’t have limbs. Because you and your rhetoric incentivize wars. You incentivize death. Dave, you’re morally angry in the way a college freshman is morally angry after reading half a Chomsky essay. I’m morally angry because I’ve seen what your worldview does to actual families, actual children, and actual warriors. You get applause for your anger… I can’t get Arnon Zamora out of my head. I can’t get Sabine Taasa crumbling to the ground out of my head. Your rhetoric JUSTIFIES the terrorists to murder her husband. Your worldview made that possible. Your morality helped usher in the inevitable deaths of tens of thousands of Gazans… But you’re too much of an unserious, unfunny clown to see it. You’re not the Clown of Peace. You’re the Pennywise of Pacifism; waving people toward a moral sewer you’ll never have to drown in. And nobody who’s lived through real violence finds any of this funny. Nobody is laughing, Dave… Just like at your standup sets.

Dave Smith (Dave Smith) and Coleman Hughes (Coleman Hughes) debate the reliability of the claim by General Wesley Clark that, in 2001, he was told the decision had been made to take out seven Middle East countries in five years. Dave: “The fact is that much of what he said came true and that's what makes it interesting.” Coleman: “Everyone else in the room does not say the decision had been made...Your only evidence is the guy who never read it...If you were a historian writing a book, you'd have to cut this out of the book.”

Here's a clip from the Dave Smith - Douglas Murray debate on Joe Rogan that illustrates my point about Dave ducking and weaving. Dave makes an argument asserting, among other things, that "there's just no way to get rid of Hamas, without it being replaced by more Hamas or a Hamas-like group...it's General McChrystal's insurgent math" - that because innocents inevitably die in the conflict, more terrorists will replace those you manage to kill. Murray responds by noting the obvious: that Dave's logic means there is never a way to successfully fight terrorist groups, which means you just have to sit back and take it. Dave says that's not his argument, and responds: "The argument that I'm making is that when you slaughter innocent people, those people around them will tend to hate your guts." Murray characterized Dave's argument quite fairly, and his response was rock solid. Instead of answering Murray's point, Dave just disclaimed his original argument, and shifted into a new, anodyne argument about civilians hating the military force attacking them. I don't think this is intentional dishonestly or anything, but it exemplifies what I noticed when debating Scott Horton as well - a deep reluctance to be pinned down on any argument.

Tony Khan is going on Vince Russo's podcast. "Tony's not going to say anything bad about any of these people who do nothing but talk bad about him. It's kind of weird. If there's people who criticize you in good faith, it's one thing to do that, but when it's bad faith people do you really want to do that? It's intriguing. People will talk about it." - Dave Meltzer

Caller: I have a gambling addiction. I haven’t filed taxes in five years. About five years ago, I had $200,000 in gambling winnings. After that, I haven’t filed anything. Dave Ramsey: Do you still have a career? Caller: I'm retired. Dave Ramsey: Okay. Do you have any money? Anything? Caller: I've got almost $10,000 in my savings account. Dave Ramsey: But you don't have a nest egg other than your pension. Caller: No. Dave Ramsey: Do you own a home? Caller: Yes. About $13,000 is remaining on the mortgage. Dave Ramsey: What is it worth? Caller: About $300,000. Dave Ramsey: And how much is your pension income? Caller: $95,000 a year. Dave Ramsey: That's good. Are you married? Caller: No. Dave Ramsey: Have you done something about the gambling addiction itself? Have you quit gambling? Caller: I have not. Dave Ramsey: Okay. So whatever we do is going to be a temporary fix because that is going to cause further problems. Agreed? Caller: Yes, absolutely. Dave Ramsey: What kind of gambling are you doing? Caller: Slot machines. Dave Ramsey: Are you lonely? Caller: Yeah. I've been single for quite a while. Dave Ramsey: How old are you? Caller: 61. Dave Ramsey: From working with people addicted to anything, I know that 100% of addicts eventually have financial problems. The addiction consumes every department of your life, including your financials. I can help you with the money parts of it, but it is a temporary fix until you deal with this. It's not bringing you joy. If you were my buddy sitting down over a cup of coffee, here is what I would tell you to do: Step 1: Get in touch with the Gamblers Anonymous folks in your area. Step 2: Find a good local church and start developing a personal relationship with a pastor who can walk with you. Step 3: Find a one-on-one professional counselor to help dig into what is really going on so you can get to the other side of this.
