Emily Jashinsky is joined by Dave Smith, comedian and host of “Part Of The Problem” Podcast, to discuss the ongoing war with Iran, what he views as the trouble with America’s strategy, and thoughts on dissenting voices among podcasters who supported President Trump in 2024. Emily and Dave also discuss backlash over a controversial Truth Social post by President Trump that appeared to depict him as Jesus. The conversation then turns to Eric Swalwell dropping out of the California gubernatorial race, and Swalwell’s subsequent resignation from Congress. Then Emily and Dave discuss the cringeworthy appearance by Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry at Coachella, Dave compares it to his recent trip to Disney, and the talk about Sabrina Carpenter facing backlash for an onstage comment that critics labeled Islamophobic. Emily rounds out the show with a look at Lena Dunham’s new publicity tour as she reflects on fame and backlash during her “Girls” era.
