05/11/21 • 62 min
On today's episode, I'm joined by the amazing Angela McArdle to discuss the role that the Libertarian Party should play in the political landscape, where they've gotten it wrong in the past, and what her plans are to shape it moving forward.

190: "Libertarians Should Vote for Trump" #ChangeMyMind w. Jon Schweppe
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
10/30/20 • 82 min
The question of the day is... Why are you letting this whole circus get to you?It should go without saying, but I'm not voting for Trump. Apparently some of you have never listened to this show because when I posted the title of the episode, some people were legitimately angry and expressing disappointment with the suuuuper edgy headline... You must be new here... Welcome to The System is Down.This is not an interview with a rabid crazy Trump supporter. This is a conversation with a friend of mine from high school, Jon Schweppe. If you're a libertarian and wrote me off instantly for that show title, then you are legitimately part of the problem. We need to stop getting triggered by headlines and start listening to people we disagree with and having conversations with them. Politics aren't the goal. Freedom is the goal and politics are only a small tool to help push us towards the goal. When we let politics divide us, they win... But I don't need to tell YOU that. If you're dedicated enough to listen AND read this far, you already know what's up and you're cool. Good job, you.Will Schweppe finaly #changemymind and sway me to the darkside?

126: Pastor Grilling w. Gabe Casciato
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
09/02/19 • 82 min
The question of the day is.... Is there any question you'd be afraid to ask your pastor?Ok, we're doing it again. I did a pastor grilling convo with Lee Bezotte way back in the day and I initially intended to do them more frequently but hey, there's just so much going on in the world that we need to be talking about and it's not always easy to find a willing contender for a series called Pastor Grilling, but fear not, for I have found another willing and worthy "man of the cloth" to grill.Gabe Casciato was the youth pastor at the church I briefly attended when I lived out in the Des Moines, IA area many years ago. Thanks to the evil Falsebook (it still has a little value), we have kept in touch to minor degrees, but we have not had any at length conversations since. This seemed like a good uncomfortable way to reconnect.
While attending that church and getting to know Gabe a bit, he always seemed to me like a knowledgable and open minded guy, so I thought he'd be the perfect next occupier of the hot seat on Pastor Grilling.
Why is god such an illusive needy creator? Should women be allowed to lead in the church? Is weed really the devil's lettuce? And what's the deal with them gays?All that and more on today's episode of The System is Down episode 126: Pastor Grilling w. Gabe Casciato

121: LBRY vs Youtube: A New Hope for a Censor-Free Platform w. Jeremy Kauffman
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
07/29/19 • 56 min
The question of the day is... How much will it take for everyone to say "enough is enough" and move to a new platform?With all the banning, censoring, demonetizing, deplatforming, and general Orwellian stifling of information and thoughts that we're experiencing here in 2019, it's only a matter of time before an open-minded platform rises to power, right?... I mean.... right?! Come on.It seems like the biggest issue that is keeping these new platforms from becoming more of a staple is just laziness. We say we don't like the way things are, but we are unwilling to try a better option because it's different and has a slight new learning curve. Today's episode is my conversation with Jeremy Kauffman, who is doing his part to provide you and I with an alternative with his blockchain based censor-free video streaming service called LBRY. In the convo, we dug into what sparked the idea, what blockchain is, what LBRY provides that the others do not, the upsides, the downsides, and all the sides in between. I personally think it's well past time for a tidal shift to bring open-mindedness and good ol' fashion fun free thought back to the internet and LBRY just might be the way to do it.

QAnon Chronicles 00: Knock, knock, Neo.
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
04/19/19 • 43 min
Welcome to the latest addition to The System is Down podcast, QAnon Chronicles. If you dabble at all in conspiracies, watch the nightly news, or even just browse the internet, you've likely heard buzz about the QAnon theories.
We did a main episode on Q way back in August of 2018 with my personal friend, Scott McElroy, who had dug far deeper into the theory than I. A lot has unfolded since that time and I personally wanted to know more and keep up to date without having to constantly scour the net looking for reliable sources and code breakers.
So, I've decided to add this show to the TSID roster to help keep everyone informed of the more serious and weird happenings that seem to be unfolding that the nightly news doesn't seem to find important enough to report on.
There are many who say that Q is 100% truth and Donald Trump will be the savior of mankind. There are many who say Q is a bunch of conspiracy nonsense and shouldn't even be looked at. We're not in either of those camps. Whether it's true or not, it should be investigated, talked about, and documented as a part of our history. If it all turns out to be bunk, then fine. In that case, it's a fascinating look at a bizarre insanely elaborate prank that happened. However, if there's more to it and even a shred of truth, then it's infinitely more important than that and I don't know about you, but if there are crazy revelations being exposed from behind the curtain, I don't want to be the one who turned a blind eye and assumed it was nonsense without taking a look. So, as we do here on The System is Down, let's peak behind the curtains of socially acceptable comfortable status-quo society and go boldly forward together to try to figure out what is and what isn't.

100: Times They Are A-Changin'
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
03/04/19 • 89 min
The question of the day is........ What the hell do you know?
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the time has come.... the big 100. When I started the show, I never really imagined it would make it this far, but here we are. Countless hours, guests, and uncomfortableness under our belts and still going strong.
In this, the grand 100 episode of the show, I decided to switch up a few things around here. We need to keep things fresh and progressing and I just don't think the good clean look and feel of yesteryear fits this show's mission well enough anymore.
We are the punk rock of podcasts. We're daring to be raw and real in an age and industry that is all too often glossed up beyond recognition. It's time to be bold, humble, and honest, if we're truly going to change the world, one uncomfortable conversation at a time.
There's no guest this week because I've just got too much shit on my mind that I need to get out there. So that's what this episode is, just me spewing my thoughts about the state of things along with listening to some happy voicemails and making some big announcements.
The most important of these announcements is that I'm launching a project to begin the first TSID documentary called The Moon The Myth The Legend: Lunar Lore for Humble Dummies. I really want to kick things up a notch and challenge people now and in the future to humbly open their mind and explore the world.
Why do some people still believe the moon landing was a hoax? Why does everyone else seem to think the hoaxers are human garbage? Is it because there's zero evidence pointing towards that conclusion? Spoiler alert: No. Duh.
All that and oh so much more on today's episode of The System is Down episode 100: Times They Are A-Changin'For more information on and to preorder The Moon The Myth The Legend, visit http://moonmythlegend.com

92: Oumuamua: Our Interstellar Visitor w. Dr. Avi Loeb of Harvard University
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
01/07/19 • 77 min
The question of the day is.... what do we do when "settled science" is challenged by new discovery?
Welcome to a brand new year and a brand new batch of "uncomfortable" conversations. I wanted to kick of the year in a big banging beautiful way and I believe that's exactly what we're doing today.Today's episode is my conversation with Harvard University Professor of Science, Dr. Abraham (Avi) Loeb on his controversial thoughts about our first interstellar visitor, Oumuamua.Dr. Loeb has a list of credentials as long as my arm, a vast body of work in the scientific community, and most importantly, a much more humble and open mind than many of his colleagues seem to. So, when an interstellar space object was spotted in our solar system that seemed to have many unnatural traits to it, Avi proposed that the object might, in fact, be of unnatural origin, a possibility that others in the scientific community aren't yet willing to consider.
Have we spotted the first sign of intelligent life in the universe outside of ourselves? What do scientists have to hide? Will Dan be able to resist bringing up his crazy anti-science conspiracy theories?Find out now on today's episode of The System is Down: Oumuamua: Our Interstellar Visitor w.

161: A Rebuttal to 5G Theories and China Blame w. Dr Rasa Vihari from Wuhan
The System is Down with Dan Smotz
04/20/20 • 110 min
With all the COVID theories swirling around, the question of the day is.... what if ALL the theories are wrong? What if there's ANOTHER explanation.
Today's episode is our conversation with returning guest, Dr Rasa Vihari on his personal take, as someone who has not only experienced COVID-19 and had a quick recovery, but who lives right at the center of where this pandemic allegedly originated from, Wuhan China.
This one is sure to ruffle some feathers, as Rasa does not shy away from taking unpopular stances on everything from the conspiracy ideas to political leanings. Rasa does not believe 5G is a danger of any kind and he also theorizes that the Coronavirus is, in fact, a bioweapon, but that the Chinese government are not the ones responsible for it.
Is 5G causing or tied to COVID-19? Is the Chinese government as evil as is being portrayed? How does Israel tie into any of this? Will I retain any listeners after this touchy episode? Find out now on today's episode of The System is Down, episode 161: A Rebuttal to 5G Theories and China Blame w. Dr Rasa Vihari from Wuhan.
