Dave Smith on the Onus Being on People with Means to Stand Up and Fight for Liberty
“What we need is the people who are in a more comfortable position, even though again it's very easy for those people to not want to do it because of course you're comfortable and who wants to give up that, but there is an onus on people in that situation because if they don't stand up no one's going to be able to.”

Dave Smith on the corporate media’s complete lack of understanding of the term “authoritarianism”
“Let’s say you thought it was necessary to have lockdowns to slow the spread or flatten the curve or whatever. Then by definition you are for authoritarianism. You may think its justified authoritarianism, but you are on the side of authoritarianism by definition, that’s what it is. So for you to sit here and be like we’re concerned about the rise of authoritarianism, look at the country we live in, who thinks we’re not living through the rise of authoritarianism?”

Dave Smith thoughts on the SCOTUS presidential immunity decision (Trump v. US)
“If the president finds himself in a situation where he has to break the law, and he thinks in the moment that's the most important thing … okay so do it. And then you got to go explain that in court rather than erring on the side that the president can do whatever he wants to in his official business even if it's breaking laws it doesn't matter he's just allowed to do that.” - Dave Smith

Dave Smith on the failure of the conservative movement
“What exactly was conserved in his movement? Was it the Constitution? Was it classical liberal values? Was it religion? Was it tradition? Was it the definition of a woman?” - Dave Smith

Dave Smith on the SCOTUS presidential immunity decision (Trump v. US)
“So we've kind of existed in this world now … where presidents are above the law. It doesn't matter if George W. Bush institutes torture and lies us into war, if Obama kills American citizens and starts wars without a congressional declaration. All of these things they all do it and they've all gotten away with it. The only one who's getting prosecuted is the guy who's seen as outside of the system who's having the justice system weaponized against him.” - Dave Smith on Dave Smith

Dave Smith Questioning the Character of the Ruling Class
"People have been waking up more and more to recognizing like, who are these people? ... take someone like Hillary Clinton.

Dave Smith on the Taxation of Captial vs. Labor
“So if we were let's say to fix that that disparity there's basically two ways we could do that. One would be to raise capital gains taxes up to 30%. Okay so so the result of
that would be that I guess we would dis-incentivize certain types of investment . . . so then DC gets more money so then the corrupt most powerful government in the world gets a little bit more money they will then leverage that to borrow three times as much and it will go it will go to politically connected cronies. . . . The other option to that is we could lower individual taxes to 15% and now give every working family in this country a huge raise that they would really appreciate.” - Dave Smith

Dave Smith on the consequences if we keep voting for the lesser of two evils
“The problem is that then basically we're just doomed to continue declining and continue failing. I mean if you're telling me that all you got to do is get someone worse to run against this guy and then you're not allowed to oppose this guy, then that's the the entire game for the rest of history. Its just to have someone truly awful run against them and then you go okay everybody better fall in line. There's someone worse as the other option. When is it ever the appropriate time to point out that they're both terrible?” - Dave Smith

Dave Smith on Free Market Capitalism vs. Crony Capitalism
“Let’s say you have a vaccine or something like that, and theoretically there’s no collusion between the government and pharmaceutical companies, and you want to get people to take your vaccine. You’re going to have to like convince them that its really good for them. You’re going to have to sell them on, look at this data, look at how much this reduced the rate of death, look at all of this great information about the vaccine. But if you have the government involved, you know what, just go lobby the government to make it mandatory. Then we’ll rake in profits. That’s so much more of a profitable direction to go. So all these things get corrupted.” - Dave Smith

“But he’s still an American citizen, and the rules are, if you’re an American Citizen, you have to be charged with a crime. Then you get a lawyer in a suit and a judge in a robe and 12 people who are pooled randomly, and they decide if you are guilty of a crime. … You don’t just have the President drop a sky robot on you because he says your guilty of these crimes.” - Dave Smith
