Why Expertise Matters (Even to Libertarians)

In this brutally honest Firing Lane episode, Croaky, Reese, and Tahgi rip the mask off the growing grift of pseudo-intellectuals weaponizing anti-Israel sentiment for clout, clicks, and controversy.

Croaky dissects the now-infamous Joe Rogan “debate” between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith, exposing it not as a debate—but as a live evisceration. With razor wit, we break down how Smith flounders behind emotional appeals, misquotes, and shallow knowledge masked as conviction.

We dive into:

  • The clown-nose-on/clown-nose-off routine of fake experts 📯

  • Why real expertise matters—and how it's being drowned out by monetized ignorance 💸

  • The rise of performative contrarianism from figures like Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, and Daryl Cooper 🤡

  • What Douglas Murray actually meant about platforming charlatans, and why the backlash proves his point 🧠

  • How Israel became the new algorithm goldmine—and the sinister incentives behind it 📈

It’s not about silencing opinions—it’s about calling out the frauds who act like sages until challenged. And when the laser sight of historical literacy lands on them… 💥
