2021The Monopoly on Violence
Chris Cofer
Dave Smith, Eric July
This is a story of the violence and coercion that underlies our modern societies. Most of the time, our interactions are peaceful and consensual, but there is a large notable exception. The state maintains its power and ability to create law by the constant threat of force. It prohibits competition to its authority, and in this sense, represents a monopoly.

Dave Smith: Libertas

Dave Smith, Zac Amico
Stand up comedian and political commentator Dave Smith's first hour special with the GaS Digital Network. Dave's stand up explores the underbelly of the American political infrastructure and shines a light on our own hypocrisy when it comes to social issues such as racism and sexism. Dave has a fresh approach to political comedy. He doesn't simply align blindly with one side of the political spectrum like many of his contemporaries but would rather call bullsh*t on both sides.
