Laughing at the State – LewRockwell

Listen to the podcast

Rockwell:  Good morning.  This is the Lew Rockwell Show.  And how honored we are to have as our guest this morning, David Smith.  Dave is a comedian.  He was the star of the Mises University this summer.  He’s a podcaster, a political commentator. He’s a contributor to S.E. Cupp Unfiltered on the HLN network, as well as he’s host of the popular podcast, Part of the Problem, where he expounds upon current events, the government, foreign policy, and all things Libertarian in a very entertaining way.  Dave’s debut comedy special, Libertas, was one of the top comedy specials in 2017.  He’s been featured at the Montreal Comedy Festival, the Moontower Comedy Festival and the New York Comedy Festival.  And he’s been a guest multiple times on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Smith:  Well, thank you very much.  I appreciate that.  It’s a real honor to be here.  I’ve done the Mises Weekend podcast, the Tom Woods Show, the Ron Paul Liberty Report.  So now to be here with Lew Rockwell, I feel like this is it.  I’ve got nothing to live for anymore.  I’ve done everything I want to do.

Rockwell:  Dave, were you always funny?  Were you funny as a kid?

Smith:  Yes, I think I was always funny.  At least as long as I remember, I always identified as the funny kid.  I’m not quite sure where it came from.  But my grandfather was hilarious and my mother was very funny so it was just kind of in my blood.
