#464 Who Decides the Truth?: Power and Media part 2 of 5

2/17/2026
And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith #AATWD In Part 2 of this 5-part series, host David Smith continues his opinion-driven breakdown of institutional influence, focusing on universities, protest movements, and the tightening boundaries of acceptable speech. ⚠️ Listener Note:This episode contains strong opinions, political commentary, and challenging viewpoints. It is intended to provoke thought and discussion, not to present definitive conclusions. Using a published article as a springboard, Dave argues that campus policies—especially around demonstrations and political symbols—are increasingly shaped by donor pressure, reputational risk, and institutional partnerships, not open inquiry. He shares personal experiences from returning to school in 2022, describing how universities handled politically charged expression at graduation and how “time, place, and manner” rules can feel like managed dissent. The episode also expands into broader cultural frustrations: ideological conformity in higher education, the use of labels to shut down debate, and how modern institutions—public and private—shape narratives through incentives and influence. Dave closes by shouting out listeners, reflecting on the cost of speaking openly, and inviting new audiences to follow the series across podcast platforms. #AndAnotherThingWithDave #DavidSmithPodcast #FreeSpeech #CriticalThinking #MediaLiteracy #PodcastCommentary #IndependentThought #CulturalCriticism #PowerAndPolitics #QuestionEverything #AIConcerns #DigitalInfrastructure #EnvironmentalImpact #MoralReasoning #Ideology #TruthAndPower

#463 Who Decides the Truth? Power, Media, and Modern Extremism part 1 of 5

2/10/2026
In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith delivers an unfiltered, opinion-driven monologue examining the role of powerful institutions, media narratives, and ideological enforcement in modern society. ⚠️ Listener Note:This episode contains strong opinions, political commentary, and challenging viewpoints. It is intended to provoke thought and discussion, not to present definitive conclusions. Dave questions the credibility and political influence of major organizations that claim to fight extremism and protect democracy, while arguing that criticism, dissent, and historical inquiry are increasingly labeled as dangerous or unacceptable. The episode explores themes of free speech, selective outrage, institutional power, ideological conformity, and the erosion of critical thinking. The conversation also touches on environmental concerns surrounding large-scale data centers, skepticism toward emerging technologies like AI, and the broader cultural divide between emotional activism and solution-based problem solving. As always, this episode reflects Dave’s personal viewpoints and encourages listeners to research independently, question authority, and think critically, even when doing so is uncomfortable. #AndAnotherThingWithDave #DavidSmithPodcast #FreeSpeech #CriticalThinking #MediaLiteracy #PodcastCommentary #IndependentThought #CulturalCriticism #PowerAndPolitics #QuestionEverything #AIConcerns #DigitalInfrastructure #EnvironmentalImpact #MoralReasoning #Ideology #TruthAndPower

#462 You Didn’t Make Me Angry: Owning Our Emotional Reactions

1/26/2026
In this solo episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith explores the idea of default emotional responses—what really happens when we get triggered, upset, or angry. Inspired by a talk from Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dave breaks down the powerful metaphor of “squeezing an orange”: whatever comes out was already inside. He challenges the common belief that other people make us angry, arguing instead that our reactions are shaped by unresolved experiences, emotional conditioning, and unconscious programming. Using real-life examples—from media narratives and political discourse to immigration debates, leadership training, and classroom dynamics—Dave encourages listeners to slow down, examine their knee-jerk reactions, and take responsibility for their emotions. He also shares insights from a high-stress leadership seminar that revealed how people react under pressure—and why awareness is the first step toward change. This episode is a call for critical thinking, emotional accountability, and conscious response in a time when outrage is rewarded and reflection is discouraged. Episode Highlights: Why no one can actually “make” you angry Dr. Wayne Dyer’s “squeezed orange” metaphor explained How unresolved emotions shape our default reactions The difference between conscious response and emotional knee-jerk reactions Media programming and conditioned outrage Logic, consistency, and critical thinking in emotionally charged topics Immigration as a case study in emotional vs rational discourse A leadership seminar stress test that exposed people’s core responses How anger, fear, humor, shutdown, or avoidance show up under pressure Why awareness—not blame—is the key to personal growth Language, accountability, and reclaiming meaning in modern culture Key Takeaway: Your emotional reaction isn’t caused by the moment—it’s revealed by it. Awareness gives you the power to choose a different response.About the Host David Smith is the host of And Another Thing With Dave, a podcast focused on critical thinking, media literacy, emotional awareness, and challenging mainstream narratives.

#461 Detransitioners, Gender Dysphoria & the Risks of “Affirming Care” | Part 2 of 2

1/20/2026
In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith kicks off a multi-part series critically examining pediatric gender dysphoria and so-called “affirming care.” Drawing from peer-reviewed medical and psychological literature, Dave focuses on detransitioners testimonies and raises concerns about current clinical practices involving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions for minors. Article read: Debate:Reality Check - Detransitioner's Testimonies Require Us To Rethink Gender Dysphoria, by Kirsty Entwistle. Published in Child and Adolescent Mental Health 26, No1, 2021, pp15-16 The episode explores gaps in long-term outcome data, the role of political and institutional pressure on gender clinics, and the need for broader psychological evaluation—especially when comorbid conditions such as autism, trauma, depression, or social isolation are present. Dave argues for a more cautious, holistic, and evidence-based approach to helping children, while maintaining that adults should retain autonomy over their own medical decisions. This is a challenging, in-depth conversation about medicine, ethics, culture, and responsibility—intended to question prevailing narratives and encourage open discussion grounded in research and lived experience. #aatwd #andanotherthing #podcast #conspiracies #truther #politics #uspolitics #truthseeker #andanotherthgingwithdave #USA #usa #Australia #australia #Ireland #ireland #India #india #Germany #germany #uk #UK #United Kingdom #united kingdom #Canada #canada #gender #politics #maga #americafirst #af #GenderDysphoria #AffirmingCare #PubertyBlockers #CrossSexHormones #MedicalEthics #YouthProtection #MentalHealth #HealthcarePolicy #DoNoHarm #Detransition #Culture #CurrentEvents #HealthDebate #ScienceAndSociety #AndAnotherThingWithDave #PodcastEpisode #SpotifyPodcasts #ApplePodcasts #PodcastClips

#459 COVID Logic, Alien Truths & Operation Blue Beam

12/31/2025
In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith and guest Jack dig into what they call “the dumbest time in human history” — the COVID era — and follow the thread all the way into UFO sightings and government secrecy. What begins as a rant about mask mandates and casino hypocrisy morphs into a raw discussion about media fear, misplaced policy, and pandemic payouts before jumping headfirst into alien encounters, Bob Lazar, and Operation Blue Beam — a theory about staged extraterrestrial or messianic “invasions” powered by holographic tech. The result? A high-energy, irreverent, and thought-provoking ride through the last five years of collective confusion — full of barroom honesty, humor, and a reminder to “keep thinking for yourself, people.”

#458 Masks, Money & Mayhem: What Really Happened These Last Five Years

12/30/2025
In this wide-open Sunday sit-down, host David Smith and guest Jack unpack America’s contradictions — from food aid and fairness to military spending, political corruption, and the pandemic’s fallout. What starts as a debate about SNAP benefits and welfare accountability turns into a full-blown conversation about foreign aid, CIA funding loops, pandemic psy-ops, and whether UFOs are already here. It’s part kitchen-table talk, part late-night philosophy, part social autopsy — equal parts real talk and ridiculous. They tackle: The truth and myths about EBT/SNAP and government aid. U.S. spending priorities — veterans vs. Ukraine, Israel, and the military-industrial complex. How COVID policy, vaccine kickbacks, and mask theater exposed public trust cracks. Whether AI, surveillance, and Agenda 21-style “smart cities” mean freedom or control. UFOs, Bob Lazar, Operation Blue Beam, and alien overlords (because of course it ends there). This is “And Another Thing With Dave” at its purest: irreverent, unfiltered, and brutally honest — where serious ideas mix with satire and skepticism. Thank you for tuning in!

#457 Rewild or Rewire? Elk, Ranchers, and Agenda 21 Panic at Point Reyes

12/23/2025
Host David Smith tackles the Point Reyes National Seashore controversy: a $30M settlement to phase out long-standing dairy and most beef operations in favor of expanded elk rewilding—and the community turmoil it’s sparked. Dave and co-host riff on whether this is conservation or eviction, what rewilding really means on crowded roads and fragile watersheds, and how policy, philanthropy, and PR shape who gets to live and work on the land. The conversation zooms out to the culture war around Agenda 21/“15-minute cities”, digital control, and pandemic-era policy overreach—asking hard questions about freedom of movement, rural livelihoods, and whether “green” plans sometimes sideline working families. It’s sharp, irreverent, and very Marin: dairies, elk, ribeye's, merch jokes, and a few bumper-sticker-ready lines you’ll be quoting all week. Content note: satire, salty language, and political humor. #AndAnotherThingWithDave #PointReyes #Marin #Elk #Rewilding #Ranchers #DairyFarms #FoodFreedom #LocalFood #LandUse #ConservationDebate #Agenda21 #15MinuteCities #CivilLiberties #Beef #GrassFed #RegenerativeAg #RuralCommunities #PublicLands #PolicyAndCulture #Podcast #RFK

#456 Hormone Havoc: Hidden Chemicals, Food Lies & the War on Fertility

12/16/2025
Host David Smith dives deep into the hidden world of hormone disruptors, food corruption, and environmental manipulation in this hard-hitting episode of And Another Thing With Dave. From PFAS in yoga pants and phthalates in air fresheners to BPA in plastics and Atrazine in the water supply, David and co-host Grok unpack how chemical chaos might be quietly wrecking fertility, cognition, and masculinity across the West. The conversation veers into the political and cultural machinery behind it all — touching on the influence of major donors, nonprofits like HRC and the Trevor Project, and how environmental or “green” initiatives often mask corporate land grabs and globalist agendas that threaten local farming and food sovereignty. They also discuss: The eerie truth behind Alex Jones’ infamous “turning the frogs gay” claim. Teflon, candles, detergents, and “fresh scents” — everyday hormone disruptors hiding in plain sight. How the Nature Conservancy’s Point Reyes land deal quietly forced out generational dairy families in the name of “restoring elk.” Why regenerative organic farming may be the last stand against synthetic food, fake meat, and corporate-controlled agriculture. It’s funny, raw, and thought-provoking — the kind of podcast that makes you rethink what’s in your pantry, your yoga pants, and your politics. #AndAnotherThingWithDave #Podcast #EndocrineDisruptors #HormoneHealth #ToxicChemicals #PFAS #Atrazine #BPA #Phthalates #RegenerativeFarming #EWG #Clean15 #DirtyDozen #NatureConservancy #PointReyes #FoodFreedom #OrganicFarming #EnvironmentalCorruption #BillGatesFood #LabGrownMeat #Greenwashing #CulturalMarxism #PopulationDecline #HealthPodcast #AlternativeMedia

#445 Lobster Claw Meltdown: Why Civil Debate Is Dying

8/12/2025
And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith Host: David Smith Episode Type: Culture & Commentary Run Time: ~13 minutes [00:17] Introduction & Episode Context Dave introduces a conversation he joined between his friend Falcon and someone who identifies as “Lobster Claw.” They initially discussed the importance of civil discourse despite differences. [01:09] The Trigger: Trans Identity Debate Dave shares his viewpoint: trans women are trans women, not biological women — and insists it’s not hate, just semantic clarity. Lobster Claw’s reaction turns aggressive, leading to a heated exchange filled with insults and shouting. [02:09–07:38] Full Clip of the Meltdown Dave plays back the raw argument where Lobster Claw loses composure, resorts to name-calling, and attempts to shut down the conversation. Key issues discussed: gender identity, biology, open-mindedness, and emotional reasoning. [08:05] Comparison to Past Experiences Dave reflects on a similar political interaction at his nephew’s wedding in Oregon involving RFK Jr. He describes the emotional volatility of political discourse and the influence of mainstream narratives. [10:02] Derangement Syndrome & Labels Criticism of terms like “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and “RFK Derangement Syndrome.” Dave criticizes the overuse of extreme labels like “Nazi” and how it dilutes real historical meaning. [11:01] The Question of Trans Rights Dave questions what specific rights the trans community is still fighting for. Offers his personal view that many current gender debates lead to logistical or social complications without meaningful benefit. [11:50] Related Content Recommends checking out his six-part series with Spirited Journey on trans athletes and fairness in women's sports. [12:00] Final Thoughts Recaps the conversation with Lobster Claw as a breakdown of civil discourse. Emphasizes the need for open, calm dialogue rather than emotional shutdowns.
