Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem. I am Dave Smith, and that must mean he is Robbie the Fire Bernstein. How are you today, sir? I am well, Mr. Smith. How are you? Doing very, doing very well. Very fine afternoon here. I'm having a ginger ale. Ooh, that's good. Which I only drink like, I only drink like one or two a year. I like have a ginger ale, but it just, it hit me today. I like to pretend I'm healthy and that I don't drink soda, but then I have Red Bulls all the time and cookies. So I'm not really sure I've saved myself any sugar. I'm pretty sure that just makes soda. If you mix those together, it's just soda. That's all soda is, is Red Bull and cookies. Well, I know you, you need those Red Bull and cookies for fuel to get back out on the road. You got the, the portion, the portion goes on. Where are you next? We got Thursday, Milwaukee, Friday, outside of Chicago and downer Grove, Illinois. Then we're doing a Fort Wayne, Indiana tickets moving on that one. Cause we haven't been there in years. I mean, you're not, I'm there Saturday and then Ravino, Ohio, which is just outside of Cleveland on Sunday. So it's a stack Midwest road trip weekend. Hell yeah, dude. We'll come on out and see Rob. And then me and you will be in a few weeks. We'll be out in, in, in Maine, up in Portland, Maine, up there for the weekend. And then we got out. We'll be out on the West coast in San Diego. So comicdavesmith.com for those and porch tour.com for Rob's gigs. Okay. So Rob, I, I wanted to talk about this today. Just, I had to mention this. I just found this so hilarious. And then I guess it could kind of get into some other topics that are maybe somewhat more important, but man, was this an interesting little example in how propaganda works. And also just quite frankly, the desperation that's, that's out there at the moment. So I saw last night, a couple people sent this to me, this was, well, I don't know, I want to say like 9:10 PM last night, a few people, including some like, you know, famous people who, who, you know, you would all know. And they kind of sent this and went, yo, dude, what is this? Cause you know, people see things on the internet, send it to me and ask me what I think about it. And I looked at it immediately and went, what, wait, what I go. And I, I have text messages. I could show you from last night, Rob, and this is literally just me sitting in, in my, uh, room and just getting texts, clicking on it and looking at the thing and going, no, obviously not. I wake up this morning, Rob, this is being shared by everyone. Now, what this was, was a. A post that started from, uh, this fellow green beret who I debated on Pierce Morgan a couple of weeks ago. Who's trying to, I believe trying to get another debate with me. We'll see what happens. Um, he's got an unfortunate last name, Rob. I believe it's, I believe it's Tardo. I'll say I was hoping for Hitler face. Listen, I don't listen. We don't, we don't live in a, what is it? I'm sorry. Tardio Tardio Ellison, Rob, we don't live in the most sophisticated of civilizations. And I will tell you, if you, if you take a look at the comment section of when I debated him on Pierce Morgan, it's people went pretty hard at that name. There were a lot of plays on that name. And quite frankly, Rob, we're above that on this program. So we're not gonna do any of that today, but how does he actually quite, quite cruel Tardio? I, I don't know. I don't know. I, we never got to that part, but so this dude is just like an app. Absolute propagandist. I mean, he's just the worst of the worst, but I mean, he's kind of unknown, so maybe not the worst of the worst, but I will show you what he does here. So he is claiming that since the Ukrainian attacks on Russian data centers, which have just taken place over the last few days, that there's evidence that Tucker Carlson is down. His views are down 71%. And, uh, Megan Kelly's and, uh, Colonel Douglas McGregor and Max Blumenthal, and like several other people, he also names in this study, all of their views have cratered. Now for people who don't know, um, the Ukraine launched these attacks, uh, on the eighth, uh, I believe they continued through the 11th. Um, so there's a few days of attacks he's claiming that since those attacks, everything, their, these, their, their views have tanked now, of course. Um, so there's a few days of attacks he's claiming that since those attacks, everything, their, their, their views have tanked now, of course. Overnight, I looked, took one look at this and go, this is retarded. Obviously not true. Overnight, I look at it, it's blown up. Rob, it's gone super viral. All of the worst people have fallen for this. Every last one of them is sharing this and is celebrating. I mean, literally, I'll read, I'll rattle off a list of names because every one of them should be shamed to death for what either, either you're too dumb to just be in this business or you're a lying propagandist, in which case you, you know, people should know that. But so let's rattle off the obvious names. Laura Loomer. Mark Levin. Uh, of course. Um, uh, what's his name? The congressman who got kicked out. He fell for it. Crenshaw. Uh, Dan Crenshaw. Um, the, the, um, of course the, uh, Babylon B guy whose name I can never remember. Uh, James Lindsay, all of them sharing this. Well, well, look at that. So let's, let's pull up just, uh, the tweet first. Natalie, if you don't mind, let's just see. So here's the tweet. Here's my following Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers. Tucker Carlson's views dropped 71%. Douglas McGregor's dropped 62%. Tucker Carlson network dropped 34%. And by the way, which would be kind of already, when you look at that, you go, why would Tucker's drop by 70, but the network only 34. Hey, let's, let's scroll down a little bit here. Natalie. Hey, Rob, Rob, by the way, you see that Tucker Carlson, just like how sloppy this propaganda is, Rob, do you just, could you just eye that graph? The one all the way on the left there, Rob, that says 70%. Just eye the graph, is it a 70% reduction? Rob, they didn't even make a graph. This is like, none of this is even real. That's like, you're looking at maybe a 20 something percent, like in terms of that graph, a 70% drop should like, they didn't even get this to measure the numbers that they have as inputted there. Okay. Uh, here, you can close it now, Rob it's we could tear this apart for a second, but just to be clear there, my first critique is they didn't even make a graph. Go ahead. Oh, no, no, no. I was going to, uh, just point out where the line should be. I'll let you continue. Yeah. Oh, well, I mean, look, so what they did here is this is how dishonest this is because of course, for like, just think about the pure propaganda when they say views, when they say Tucker and all these people, their views fell. I mean, first of all, I would point out that I think it's pretty misleading when you say that if you're not, in fact, talking about viewer ownership, because that would, you know, you talk about people who have shows and you say views, if you talk about our show, when you talk about views, people are typically talking about the number of views of the number of people watching our show. What they're actually measuring here is, um, the, the number of views on tweets. Okay. And, and again, Natalie, if you could just pull this up again, just how unbelievable these people are. Like what? Fucking retards. They are go, go. If you could just, sorry, go back to the other one. Oh, this is the time. I'm sorry. This is the one he just zoom in on the upper right-hand corner. So we can see the blue and red there. What they're telling us. That is sorry. If it's, it's hard to make this big here. Okay. Yay. Uh, God damn. Sorry. I'm just trying to look at that. If it, can you read it on yours? Actually, hold on. Maybe I can make this bigger on my end. Hold on. You just keep it right there. Let me see. No, but I think it's okay. So if you. Look at it, it says September 30th through October 6th. Is that it? Through October 6th. And then on the other one, it says six through 12th. They're not even an even amount of days, Rob on both sides. They didn't even accurately account for the number of goddamn days. It makes absolutely no sense. So, okay. We can put this down. So they literally, what they did was they took a few viral tweets that got more views and then compared them to tweets that got less views. You know, what's happened with their viewership of their show. It's been completely unaffected by this. So the idea of like what they're trying to convince you here is that what, like the audience for all these people, wasn't real. And, but when we destroyed these data centers, it destroyed the illusion that they're very popular. It's just completely made up your propaganda. All right. guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is the Wellness Company. You've probably seen the headlines coming out of Russia. Two laboratory workers in Siberia died after developing severe pneumonia and authorities launched monitoring and precautions amid concerns about possible mnemonic plague. Dozens have already been quarantined. Is this the very beginning of a new pandemic orchestrated by the powers that be? Is this something else? Is this ultimately going to be nothing? Well, we don't really know, but I always recommend being ahead of the game. That's why doctors recommend having the medical emergency kit from the Wellness Company already at home. It contains the recommended treatment, doxycycline. It's not about panic. It's about preparedness.

Not only is this just completely made up, but I remember when Donald Trump won the election the first time there was that whole thing about, uh, I forget the name of the company, but he used on Facebook and the way absolutely no study. If Hillary Clinton had done anything similar in terms of usage of social media, uh, I can tell you from, uh, I mean, most specifically during the COVID times, but it does feel like most of my channels are fairly channel, uh, shadow band all the time. I can't actually, I don't have evidence to suggest that other than that things don't get, uh, always get, you know, tremendous views and, uh, things can sometimes seem flat, but I mean, I'd love to see an honest. Study across the board of, uh, I mean, what are, what are Dan Bungino's numbers actually like? Yeah. And, uh, I mean, I think you've said that on Twitter, uh, you haven't noticed much growth over the past year, despite how much big stuff you've done. It's dude, it's insane. It's been very clearly turned off. My ability to grow has just been turned off kind of across social media. Um, but on Twitter, particularly in the new Elon Musk, I mean, I'm not really worried about getting kicked off or anything. And I haven't heard about that. There are some people who like, like, I know Fuentes is like allowed back on, but can't have the blue check Mark is kind of just a very weird thing. Like, are you doing the free speech thing or not? That was the big thing you announced when you took it over again, I'll say this forever for me over the last, uh, you know, let's say like five to seven years, I've really like built this show and my career. It was just always, every day you get a few new followers. Every time you post something that goes viral, you'd get like a few hundred followers. When you do a big podcast, you get a few thousand followers, but you do a really big podcast. You do Rogan or something. You might get like 10, 20,000 new followers or something like that. Literally this entire year, I have not gained any followers. The only year in my entire career ever. It just, and it just got turned off and it goes up. I gain a few and then it goes back down and it goes up and then goes back down. I've been around 910,000 for the entire year. Again, like you said, Rob, I can't prove anything. I suppose I've just plateaued and new people follow me, but for as many follow me an equal amount, always leave. Like, I guess it's possible. Seems like something with the algorithms going on where they used to allow me to get new followers and now they don't. So I don't know. The point I'm getting at is this turned out to be 100% and completely fabricated. It's just not, just not a true story. Now let's say as a theoretical that Russia actually had an, um, was not working with Tucker, but, uh, appreciated that people were rejecting, you know, supporting Ukraine and that this war was a mistake. It's theoretically possible that a foreign actor would try and, uh, boost that information because it helps them militarily. That's theoretically possible. Even if you concluded that as a hundred percent, like, let's just say that this one turned out to be accurate to then not do a comparative study of like, well, what's the Israel influence on social media and how much of a boost is the right wing getting from, uh, media networks that their pay does not actually justify what their viewership should be. I mean, the idea to like, just look at that in a bubble and go, Oh, look, this, only these guys are cheating for a false signal to make them look like they bigger than they are. How about every single payday on CNN and Fox news? Well, look, I mean, they're not interested in doing any of that, but there's something, I just find something interesting about, uh, well, I guess there's a reason why all of these guys got got on this obvious bullshit. Like you did, even if you were, I don't know, Rob, I'm just, I'm sorry. This is not, this is I'm being fair about this. Me and you would never, we would never bring something like this to the show because you're one, you're like one kick of the tires away from it and the whole thing falling apart. And I would never, anytime, dude, if I ever got something that confirmed my bias, that was just like, Ooh, good to be true. You know what I'm saying? Rob, like he just found out a thing like whatever, just take this, um, whatever there's, there's, uh, Israeli, there was a fire in an Israeli computer factory and Ben Shapiro's views have plummeted by 70 something percent over the last three days. Like as soon as you'd saw that and you might get excited, like, Oh dude, what? Like, this is, you know, this is something that would really confirm not confirm our bias, but like stroke our, our bias, our egos. This would be a nice thing. You know what I mean? You'd go, dude, I got it. Look at the, I better be damn sure about these numbers before I fucking share them. Cause what a claim to make really, really, do I really believe that Ben Shapiro's audience is just made up? No, I don't. I think he's fallen. I think he's like, he went from being like, like Ben Shapiro went from being like, maybe the biggest conservative on the internet to just being one of the guys. In the mix. But like, I still think he's one of the guys in the mix. I went. So again, you, you're telling me like people actually jumped on the story that what are you saying here? You're claiming that you think 70% of Tucker's audience was just made up or something. And you know, the reason why people would jump on something like that, it kind of, it reminds me Rob, a little bit of it's, it's like almost like a Russia gate for the Israel lobby. You know, you remember how comforting Russia gate was to liberals. You know, I'm talking about like regular liberals who don't think about politics that much, but what they know is that like a woman's right to abortion is under attack and Donald Trump's a sexist and you know, whatever for, for someone like that, Russia gate was so comforting because they had to think they were like, wait a minute, what happened here? What is this country? I live in Hillary Clinton lost. You're telling me people liked the grabbing by the pussy guy and all this shit, you know, like it's a very complicated thing. And then they go, Oh no, here's this answer. Here's the answer for why you lost. You didn't. None of that was real. It was all cheating. It was Russia, you know, and you're like, okay, now I can put all those complicated questions away. And so it's just, I don't know. I guess I found something interesting about people just loving the idea somehow that, that none of it was real Rob. They didn't really lose the argument and wasn't really kicking their shit in and like all these people were, but unfortunately guys, I'm sorry. It's here. Natalie, let's just do a real raw test. I did Tucker Carlson show on October 7th on the night of October 7th, Rob, these, these attacks happened on the morning of October 8th. Okay. The show literally has just been there. Can you just Natalie, can you use YouTube? Dave Smith, Tucker Carlson. I want to just compare this to my other shows on Tucker Carlson. There's just, there's some raw data here. Let's see if there's any trend comparing something that's a little more comparable. Like when I do the show compared to the other times that I did the show, right? It's not just comparing random tweets to random tweets. I don't know. Okay. So if we just on YouTube, okay. So this is the one, sorry, Mossad were all true myths. That's not this one. Okay. 1.4 million from six months ago and 1.4 million from five days ago. I'd say this one's doing substantially better. Got the same number of views in a matter of days in a matter of, by the way, those same days, the days under question. These are the five days that that thing's been getting the views it's been getting. You can look at Spotify the same dude. It's just like they have absolutely no evidence whatsoever that any of this has even impacted any of these people. That's just it. It's just a matter of like, they, they found some accounts that had a viral poster to a couple of days before, and they're just pretending. Anyway, it's just to see, I mean, look, what differences does it make it at this point? But look at all those people who just are sharing straight up propaganda. None of them will acknowledge it or apologize for it. None of them will go, Oh, I got this wrong. And just to speak to just how inexcusable it is. Uh, the internet makes it pretty easy to fact check these things. You would send that moment and right away i was like man is this a real thing i press grok and it gives me the and i just went is this true and it instantly came back no it's a false comparison blah blah blah and the idea that you're mark levin with the staff and before you jump on a story not only you're not doing literally 30 seconds of fact checking which the internet will do which i'm not saying you can just rely on the fact check but sometimes you can read and be like oh yeah that kind of that makes sense or you might be like no that still sounds off and then you got to do more work that's where a little bit of instinct and years of experience can help you out but the idea that a story like that would come across your desk and you don't ask a producer hey can you dig in and fact check this and you don't even think to ai check it and you just i think mark levin just labeled it this is true i'm pretty sure that's what he said and just did he really yeah uh if you could uh look that up natalie i'm pretty sure i saw laura loomer you're right he said you're right those were his only words wow immediately after uh laura loomer treats wow immediately after ukraine blew data centers yesterday and today tucker cartarilson's views dropped 71 i told you and mark levin simply tweeted you're right hey mark no she's fucking not i mean again this is rob this side dude think about how crazy this is uh you know it's like it's almost like their goal is just to drive us mad when me and i'm not i don't think you saw this or we talked about this when me and matt tardo over there were debating on pierce morgan you know the thing he said to me his big line was i'm a green beret and you're a comedian he said it like three times during the thing you're like yes that's true you're a green beret and i'm a comedian i don't share garbage like that and you do because you're full of shit and i'm not i don't know like how he should change through this yeah by the way if i share a fucking graph that says 70 reduction i'll make sure the bar isn't like this much smaller than the one next to him because that's not what a fucking 70 reduction is you couldn't even eye it over once mr i'm a green beret and you're a comedian you couldn't eye that over once and just go like hey 70 is like most of something jesus and then the whole time rob what is their knock their whole knock on tucker and candace and all of them is that they're conspiracy theorists right rob they're connecting dots they're asking questions they're they're putting the blame on israel and asking questions about charlie kirk and all this you are the biggest fucking quack conspiracists out there look at you guys what was your conspiracy here rob i mean this is not to pretend something that you know a thing or two about this me and you are both in this field if you're alleging that like 70 percent of tucker's audience or engagement or any of that is like completely fake you're alleging a gigantic fraud if you're alleging that about tucker and candace and megan and mcgregor and blumenthal and like all these people you're talking about rob like a multi million dollar fraud people are making ad revenue people are getting paid like it's it's like you have absolutely no evidence you jumped on a gigantic conspiracy over nothing none of you none of you motherfuckers even have enough methodology to look at the bars shut your mouth about candace owens and any of the the podcast she's done all of you guys how many of them how many of the exact same people who would mock uh uh conspiracy theories just jumped on this is this not a giant conspiracy theory that turned out to be completely false and never had any basis to it well apparently they're just making up that does seem to be what the uh the territory that we're in all right guys let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show brand new sponsor who we're thrilled to have on board and that is underdog go check the tag on the blank tee you're wearing right now does it say polyester well you're basically wearing a melted down plastic bottle most people have no idea that polyester is plastic and it's no

u-n-d-r-d-o-g-dot-com u-n-d-r-d-o-g-dot-com for up to 30 off all right let's get back into the show um well good transition actually yes that's true there's a lot of that there's a lot of that going on uh what do you want to where do you want to transition to i'll i'll let you pick because i want to get to as much of this stuff as we can but i guess the republican uh the republican pitch for uh how uh for oil prices all right let's let's do it because of course uh what this what this is i i guess the part of the transition there is that the topic that tardo is lying about is um these ukrainian uh attacks on on diesel refineries uh there's been between the war in iran and the of course ongoing war in europe uh the eastern europe that is is also becoming more and more of an issue uh there's been a lot of talk about this um i don't know uh there's the the trump administration was was bragging about a huge supposed win that they've got by getting the levels of of oil coming out of the middle east way up from what they had been at the worst of the double blockade um here is uh some comments talking about this obviously this is an issue for the midterms rob let's go to the speaker of the house mike johnson there's lots of answers to that the first thing is if the idea we're all frustrated everybody's frustrated about fuel prices obviously but that's not related to policies republicans and offices it's hard to make that case though to a voter who knows republicans are running the house in the senate of the white house yes but if i give them a couple of pure facts and they understand it easily this is related to the street of promotes the it is not yet resolved now there's lots of answers all right let's dude you just can't believe it and he would go listen dude this isn't a matter of policy and if i could just have a few seconds i could explain it this is about the straight that the iranians closed after we launched a war against them it's a policy that was an act of god trump launched a war what are you gonna do what i think i don't know i think you're being a conspiracy theorist right now and you're connecting dots between uh donald trump's decision to launch a war that didn't need to be launched uh the obvious intelligence that the straight would be closed donald trump not having ability to reopen the straights the straights being closed meaning that there would be a crunch on oil and that the prices would go up up but if you connect all those dots to this was a policy decision to have this war and it would influence our gas prices of which donald trump has even said hey i understand gas prices are higher but it's worth it because otherwise iran would have a nuclear bomb and they would nuke you but if you connect those dots to that they are up because of a policy decision i guess that's just conspiracy theory yeah i mean i'm pretty linear that's that's the pitch for the the midterms oof it really is unbelievable um of course there's also you know as um as as the you know the first topic uh was referring to the only um real part by the way of that entire uh claim at the beginning was that ukraine has been attacking russia that much is true um we should talk a bit about the war in ukraine oh did you free freeze up there rob or is that me no i'm still here but we uh we we do have a couple other great clips of uh donald trump pitching uh pitching where oil's actually at in the car oh yes yes you know what let's do that you're you're absolutely right let's do the the trump clips uh first let's go to the let's go to one of the first try it doesn't matter what order but let's go to one of the trump clips here because that's right i forgot i'm sorry rob uh dot the president of course had some some thoughts that i'm sure will reassure voters and more oil is coming through the straight today than it was before the war do you believe that one And refiners and retailers need to start dropping their prices right now. We want, we're getting them so much oil. And by the way, today, Russia agreed to send us millions and millions of barrels of oil. And it's diesel. That's what we really need. Thank you. And we're doing all of this and ensuring that Iran, again, we're doing all of this. And Iran is in deep trouble. Yeah. All right. So this is the big, this was the big announcement that Donald Trump made a few days ago. And then, of course, this is also part of what's led to the tensions with the recent tensions with Zelensky. I don't know, Rob. I mean, it's hard. I'm curious to get your thoughts on this. I guess there's a lot of different ways. I'm curious to think about this. But isn't it just so crazy that it's like, even when people try to spin you like the 4D chess shit about any of these moves, it's always so obvious if you just follow it long enough that it's like, no, it's just that incoherent and that makeshift and that just desperate and and reckless. And yes, after all these years of fighting with Russia, that's our big ace in the hole is we could just do business with Russia. Alleviate things. A little bit that way. Do you remember in the middle of this war when they just started doing business with Iran before Donald Trump stopped it? When they just did a little bit, they were like, oh, shit, oil's getting all fucked up. Hey, let's trade with Iran. By the way, the problem they're having a real legal problem right now, Rob. I don't know if you followed that because he signed this dumb Lindsey Graham act. So now it's like a real question to the legality of whether she can even like do business and get a little bit of this diesel. Of course, there's a whole other angle, which you might want to hit that. I don't think the deal even actually means anything or moves the needle. Substantially at all. But just the fact that you're like, dude, so we got to launch these wars. I mean, dude, in the case in the case of the war in Ukraine, it's like somewhere north of a million people have died in this thing. But like, it's OK to just do business with Russia in the middle of it, too, if that'll you know, I mean, right before the midterm, it's OK to do a little bit of business with them. Jesus, I don't know. You go ahead. Well, I think that speaks to. We should do midterms every week because apparently when votes are on the line, they'll actually go, oh, you know, it's better than having wars is trading and having prices. Hey, for this one week, we have to actually represent you, the American public, because we understand that these wars don't actually help you in any way. And they're not in your strategic interest. And so for this one week, we'll we'll go with the libertarian viewpoint of, hey, why not trade and get along? Hey, let's let's allow markets to work. And. Prices to be reduced. Ain't that nice? Yeah. And OK, so also just to take on some of the claims that Donald Trump made there and we skipped the other video where basically just lied about gas prices. He said it was like two dollars a gallon or something. Maybe we'll come back to that. But it was really odd. Last week, they were claiming that essentially oil was back to prewar levels, that a lot had been diverted through Saudi Arabia and they were getting boats through. Now, that doesn't help the diesel situation. But in terms of like, you know, I guess the stuff you're putting. Into your cars or whatever, it was back to normal levels. So the part they weren't telling you was it was costing about fifty four million dollars a boat to get through compared to paying Iran a two million dollar toll. So that's questionable whether or not that's a win. I think that trans translates off the top of my head. It was like sixty four cents a gallon or something like that at the pump. But I kept reading the storyline. I was like, is this true? And in the backdrop of that, you had that the Houthis are ramping up in Saudi Arabia. And I was just wondering, why is it that Iran isn't? Striking boats and that this many boats are apparently getting through with military escort on the Oman side. And, you know, in classic Donald Trump fashion, this is somehow last week's news. I think there's been more strikes on on the Hormuz this past week than there's been since, like, the beginning of the war. And the oil volume is back down. And then in terms of this diesel thing, which obviously undermines. Listen, I'm not for the Ukraine war. I think we got them stuck in a mess and we've been getting them killed ever since. And Zelensky's got to. Just let Russia keep what it's taken and, you know, and have peace. But we are clearly undermining three years or four years of U.S. policy of trying to weaken Russia, of screaming at the other countries that we're still trading with Russia and buying natural gas. India, most specifically. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, you're exactly right. Exactly. And now I think the absolute upside from what I've heard is about nine days worth of diesel. I mean, Donald Trump is so desperate, I guess, somewhat normal. Diesel prices coming into the midterms that he's willing to undermine the entire. I mean, a foolish policy, but undermine what's been the policy for the last four years to try and get nine days worth of diesel in the country. Yes, it's not the fact that all of that was great. It's not the fact that it's not the right policy, even if it's only nine days. Like, whatever. Make a deal with Russia on diesel. In fact, yes. Make lots more deals with. But, like. It's the fact that it. Just reveals. Oh, you always could have done this. We never had to do any of this. I'm sorry if they're such a big, bad wolf. If they're Adolf Hitler and they're going to conquer all of Europe, then no, you starve them out. Right. You don't make it. You don't do business with them. In fact, wasn't that a goddamn crime during the Second World War? Weren't people arrested? They were doing business with Adolf Hitler. It's not an option. Oh, it is an option. OK. Well, then that kind of proves something. Let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show. Have you ever been watching the Part of the Problem podcast and thought to yourself, man, I have got to wear the same underwear as Dave. I've just got to get in whatever boxer briefs he's wearing.

And that's, you know, that's worth its weight in gold or something. But seriously, the underwear is very good. Sheath.com. Promo code problem for 20% off. All right. Let's get back into the show. OK. I think everything you said about the. I think essentially that was all it. I think you were right about all that. That's what I've gathered, too, from all the reading I've done. It's like, yeah, he was bragging so much about getting the levels up last week. It's not what he said. He said more than before the war. That wasn't being reported. It was still less, but it was getting close to pre-war levels. But again, Rob, you're like, Jesus Christ, if this is the first thing approaching a win that Donald Trump has pulled, it's like, dude, you got to look at the fact that you've probably spent hundreds of billions of dollars to get back to what we had before the war. And of course, as you know, I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump. And of course, as you said, you got to factor in those prices and, you know, to that. And look, man, I mean, yeah, the Houthis are in the war now. Evidently, they've hit Saudi Arabia pretty solidly. You have, you know, just the dynamics of this war now being intertwined with the war in Ukraine. You have a lot of players involved in this. It's a it's a pretty dangerous game to be playing. And going into the midterms to do a deal like this. As you pointed out, it's it's purely, you know, like purely performative and just like a bandaid over a real serious wound. This is not this is the type of thing that will move markets for a couple of days and make a big show and something to say at a campaign speech. But it's not really doing anything to solve the problem. I forget the exact numbers, but it's something it really is a drop in a bucket, like seventy four thousand barrels compared to. Like three million that are produced in America. It's like really not moving the needle. OK, brought more broadly speaking, dude, about the war in Ukraine. I will say this is probably to some degree a failure of mine. I just haven't talked about Ukraine enough over the last year. I don't know. I mean, I talked about it so much for so many years. And I guess maybe there's part of it was just like a big part of it is we're not. From what I understand, we're not really funding it, nor are we pitching it. So there were years where the claim was we have to spend our money over there. And there was the storyline of we're winning it. There was the storyline of Putin's trying to take over all of Europe. We were defending it going, guys, this is going to be an absolute mess. You're flirting with a bigger wire or even nuclear war. But since Trump flirted with the the the mineral deal or the mining deal, he's basically, from what I understand, walked away from Ukraine. I don't think we're. I don't think we're spending a lot of money over there. So it's it seemed it's not exactly right. I mean, I think. Well, I think essentially what I agree with you on is, well, basically, like it was kind of like, look, dude, like when, of course, our guy, Scott Horton, wrote the book Provoked. And we, you know, like we at the very beginning of the thing, I mean, we were talking about this on on the show from years before Putin invaded in 22. And so, like, when the war first happened, there was a lot to say about, you know. how, you know, the U.S. and nato caused the whole thing and provoked the whole thing um and then how they could how it could have ended so many times and then they prolonged the whole thing they totally created this and vladimir putin you know also obviously created it um but it was almost like rob like we won the argument it was a very popular war we were arguing against it then the people agreed with us then the candidate running on ending it on day one won then they didn't pass any more funding packages in congress so it was kind of like and and quite frankly if i could admit this which is kind of fucked up maybe but also i just got a little bored with it it was like it was it was like a meat grinding stalemate where people are just slowly dying like it's a kind of said everything i have to say about the thing um and you know then then just a lot was going on between gaza and then iran and trump's election and there's a lot of other shit going on and uh but look it should have been mentioned more this year that this is another one of those things that we're going to have to deal with and i think it's going to be another major one of trump's failures and the major reason why it's a failure up it's not just yeah they did essentially transfer essentially to europe like all the funding now europe's doing the funding packages and not us but if you really look into it dude it's all types of like logistical support from the u.s intelligence agencies the pentagon like they could not be conducting this war without us we're still so essentially what happened right was that donald trump went in there he said i could end this thing in day in one day um there was reason for him to be so confident you know part of that was donald trump bluster it never would have happened if i were there i'd ended in one day part of that was that there was always a deal that had been sitting there the whole time right as if you remember right the one that boris johnson squashed to begin with that that that vladimir putin had had offered such a reasonable deal at that point that the ukrainians would love to take now and trump tried to get again that was like hey we'll give you the donbass we'll promise you we'll give you that we'll give you the donbass we'll give you all this you end the war by the time donald trump gets in there he offers that and vladimir putin says no it's like no it's not good enough man he goes you know what i got the donbass right now you're not giving me anything you're not offering me anything by offering me the donbass you're gonna tell me they'll never join nato until the next president you know vladimir putin's already been on the job 20 years he's thinking he might be on it 20 more he's thinking i gotta deal with a lot more presidents past donald trump he goes you could say that but i don't believe it so the deal doesn't work out right away donald trump then at he gets frustrated with zielinski he has that meeting in the in the oval office where he snaps at him all this right but in even already in that period of time rob and i don't know exactly what happened just like with all these wars i don't know exactly how donald trump goes from saying good things on the campaign trail to being the worst president ever but all the hawks get in his ears they start going see sir the reason why putin won't accept your offer it's not because everyone before you was an idiot for getting you into this situation to begin with do the opposite of what they did it's you have to negotiate from a place of strength we have to build up zielinski so that we have something to threaten putin with and then something to offer him that we'll take back this is really where you started but before the uh um oval office incident this is where you started seeing the um the stuff about the mineral deals the stuff about all of this well maybe we ingrain ourselves even more in ukraine maybe the u.s essentially is permanently ingrained in ukraine maybe the u.s essentially is permanently in ukraine or maybe we come to this deal and vladimir putin was just way past even trying to go so essentially they just kept the war going they've kept it going this whole time and you know all the same people certainly the ones in europe they want to keep it going for the same reason just to keep grinding out vladimir putin this is good for them this essentially worked you know it's it gave them a long years-long war really degraded russia so anyway that's the situation there then the most recent thing rob right is that now the reason why trump is furious is because he well here let's let's let him say it in his own words here here's donald trump explaining to you why he's furious at uh at zielinski now and here's how it relates to the war in iran and the whole diesel crisis here's here's the president well i look at it differently zielinski could have settled this war many times many many times and he chose he chooses not to very difficult it's a war that should have never been started if i were president the election weren't rigged i would have been president and that war would have never started but he could have settled it many times and he chose not to we said you can do whatever you want to russia don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem that's caused and he wants to make problems for the world he wants to make problems for our farmers our ranchers with diesel fuel because russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world and we told them do whatever you want but don't hit the diesel fuel because there's a big problem big shortage and what does he do he goes and hits the diesel fuel he can do whatever he wants but he can't do that because we have a world problem and the problem is caused by the lack of refineries for diesel fuel so what does he do he goes and hits refineries and i said to him do what you want don't hit refineries there's plenty of targets don't hit refineries and he went out and he hit and he's not going to affect our farmers and he's not going to affect our ranchers and he's not going to affect the rest of the world so we he'd better damn well stop well i agree with you and well i agree with you and you know what i suggest you know what i suggest you know what i suggest i suggest they get a new leader i suggest they get a new leader i suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal who can make a deal who can make a deal because he could have made many deals and because he could have made many deals and because he could have made many deals and for some reason he never does and let for some reason he never does and let for some reason he never does and let me go a step further me go a step further me go a step further if i were president you wouldn't have if i were president you wouldn't have if i were president you wouldn't have ever had that war that war would have ever had that war that war would have ever had that war that war would have never started there was no reason that never started there was no reason that never started there was no reason that that war with ukraine and russia that war with ukraine and russia that war with ukraine and russia started it started due to incompetence

well uh i mean they haven't had elections in ukraine for a long time and elections in ukraine for a long time and elections in ukraine for a long time and i certainly think zielinski probably has i certainly think zielinski probably has i certainly think zielinski probably has gotten in the way of uh gotten in the way of uh gotten in the way of uh of uh getting a deal done and so you know of uh getting a deal done and so you know of uh getting a deal done and so you know this is probably good policy uh but this is probably good policy uh but this is probably good policy uh but the timing clearly is interesting and the timing clearly is interesting and the timing clearly is interesting and just how don how desperate donald trump just how don how desperate donald trump just how don how desperate donald trump is um to avoid the repercussions of his is um to avoid the repercussions of his is um to avoid the repercussions of his you know it's another war that didn't you know it's another war that didn't you know it's another war that didn't need to happen need to happen need to happen and could any other president wouldn't and could any other president wouldn't and could any other president wouldn't have done it's the iran war the one that have done it's the iran war the one that have done it's the iran war the one that we're currently in that's the bigger miss we're currently in that's the bigger miss we're currently in that's the bigger miss mess for us so yeah if i were president mess for us so yeah if i were president mess for us so yeah if i were president that war never would have happened that war never would have happened that war never would have happened we can all say that now rob if i were we can all say that now rob if i were we can all say that now rob if i were president that word never would have president that word never would have happened uh kamala harris could be saying happened uh kamala harris could be saying happened uh kamala harris could be saying that right now so you're probably right that right now so you're probably right that right now so you're probably right that the ukraine war did not need to that the ukraine war did not need to that the ukraine war did not need to happen biden was a real idiot where he happen biden was a real idiot where he happen biden was a real idiot where he uh kept saying uh we refuse to say that uh kept saying uh we refuse to say that uh kept saying uh we refuse to say that nato will that ukraine won't join nato nato will that ukraine won't join nato nato will that ukraine won't join nato the war absolutely was avoidable uh but the war absolutely was avoidable uh but but there's another word that was avoidable. It's the Iran one. And that's the one that you got us into and it's the bigger mess right now. So, you know, they, it just kind of falls on deaf ears to be complaining about the other wars when you got, when you got the worst war on your hands. It's yeah, man, I look like with all this stuff, what a mess, what a mess of a situation to be in going into midterms. And, you know, Donald Trump can sit there and kind of cast himself as the defender of the farmers and the workers, and he will not let Zelensky do this. Meanwhile, Zelensky is doing it also. I mean, I got to say it's hard. It's really, really hard to not notice kind of like the contrast between the way Zelensky is treated in the way Netanyahu is treated, you know, and look, I'm not trying to, to boil this down to a simpler answer than it is. Obviously, I'm not trying to boil this down to a simpler answer than it is. I'm not trying to there's lots of layers and lots of reasons to why the relationship between Israel and the U.S. is just much more intimate and close-knit than the relationship between Ukraine and the U.S. You know, you just don't have the same type of devotion from every, you know, leader. But, you know, it's like this type of thing, like, we don't want you to bomb them. Oh, then you go bomb them. We are fighting for our own freedom. We are funding your effort. We have your back, and yet you're still pulling us into this thing we don't want. Like, we've had direct examples of that happen with Netanyahu. And it's just hard not to notice that the way Donald Trump dressed down Zelensky in the Oval Office, the way he just flippantly calls for a new leader, that's a pretty big deal. deal for the united states to call for a new leader in one of its sock puppet states um you would never you would just never even after i mean dude do you remember rob i know i brought it up a few times because all the hawks were celebrating when he forbade is that forbidden for uh he he said that uh netanyahu was forbidden from bombing southern lebanon remember it's probably never been bombing seven southern lebanon since and what does trump say oh trump says hey president he he calls on the president of israel to give him a pardon i mean he's he's not calling for new leadership there you know it's it's just i don't know i'm not saying that alone proves anything but it does kind of i don't know man if somebody you know if somebody came into your house and like put a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a i don't know if somebody you know if somebody you know if somebody came into your house and like put a a drink on a table without a coaster and you flipped out at them and then somebody else at the same party does the exact same thing and you don't say anything to them it does kind of leave you going like hey what's up with that why were you so free to do it here and yet so restrained to do it as you said in this much more relevant relationship you know say what you will about ukraine and the situation with russia there it's not um it was nato and the west about ukraine and the situation with russia there it's not um it was nato and the west that created the situation it was putin who invaded that created the situation it was putin who invaded you know ukraine can only be blamed so much for you know ukraine can only be blamed so much for you know ukraine can only be blamed so much for dragging us into anything whereas like dragging us into anything whereas like dragging us into anything whereas like israel has clearly dragged us into a israel has clearly dragged us into a israel has clearly dragged us into a conflict that was theirs and not ours conflict that was theirs and not ours conflict that was theirs and not ours and yet we get none of this and yet we get none of this and yet we get none of this all right guys let's take a moment and
