Dave Smith says he hopes Thomas Massie runs for president: “Even though Trump has shattered his coalition by lying us into this stupid war on behalf of a foreign country, that coalition is still ripe for someone else to pick it up.”

I have triggered the low IQ woke right. Name the best argument Dave Smith made in his 3 hour long, 17th appearance on the 'top podcast in the world.' I'll wait.

𝗗𝗔𝗡 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗢 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗦𝗬𝗢𝗣 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗦, 𝗝𝗢𝗘 𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗧, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 Dan Bongino broke down one of the oldest manipulation tricks in media — and named names. Here's the playbook, exactly as he described it. Step one: claim you have hidden knowledge. Something the gatekeepers don't want you to know. Something Trump himself is being kept from. You never actually say what it is. You never name names. You never make a falsifiable claim. You just gesture at a dark space and let the audience lean in. Step two: the Lego trick. You put one piece of information on the table. Then you put a completely unrelated piece of information on the table. You keep talking. You never connect them. But your audience's brain does it for you — because that's what human brains do. We find patterns. We complete puzzles. And here's the critical insight Bongino delivers: 𝘈𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵. That's the whole trick. Make you think the conclusion was your idea. The manipulator never said it. You did. So when someone challenges the claim, you defend it like your own thought — because you believe it is. His example is precise: a local news anchor says a woman is missing, and that neighbors saw her arguing with her boyfriend. Then: 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴. Your brain already k!lled the boyfriend. The anchor never said that. But you know what you know. Bongino applies it directly: Joe Kent insinuating Israel was behind Butler, Pennsylvania without ever saying it. Candace Owens gesturing at "hidden knowledge" about Charlie Kirk's death — knowledge she never actually shares, never names a suspect, never makes a claim that can be tested or refuted. Just two Legos on a table and a long pause. His closing point is the sharpest: if Candace actually cared about Charlie Kirk and his family, she would stop trying to destroy the trial that is currently proceeding — a trial with due process, evidence, and constitutional protections. Instead she is running a psyop that benefits no one except her own engagement numbers. This is not a conspiracy theory Bongino is describing. It is the mechanics of how conspiracy theories are manufactured and implanted. Learn to recognize it and you become immune to it. 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗱.

Druski really the 🐐 of social media skits. This is how Erika Kirk walked out to her husband’s funeral service. 🎯😂😂

The X-Files by Ryan Coogler replaced Mulder and Scully with an Indian man and a black woman.🫩

Do you remember the Joe Rogan Podcast when Douglass Murray exposed “Comic” Dave Smith to be completely uninformed about Israel, and basically just a goofball?

These two photographs are separated by only 66 years.

"The MAGA Movement Is A Bunch Of Fucking Dorks" Joe Rogan & Dave Smith after huffing each others farts about how they are totally the cool kids and every else is totally lame... After pandering to MAGA for the past several years.

Joe Rogan's influence and views fallen off a cliff because his content has become unwatchable. He repeatedly brings on the dumbest, most uninformed guests who no one is interested in hearing their opinions. Dave Smith is a random nobody failed comedian who should never have been elevated to the national stage.
