You see, we have we have things down here. We've got our YouTube up top and the and the blue ski because we don't use the uh Nazi social media site. Well, either of the Nazi social media sites, any of the Nazi

Nathan Brady: cares.
Mike Smith: any of these people as they pass through his live?
Nathan Brady: Yeah. All right, that's fair. Uh we got Well, we got an action-packed show otherwise. Um, I guess we can kick it off. Um,
Mike Smith: Let's
Nathan Brady: since
Mike Smith: kick
Nathan Brady: it's it's
Mike Smith: it off.
Nathan Brady: tropical right now. Um, there's uh there's a senator there's a Democratic senator by the name of Corey Booker.

00:01:57

Nathan Brady: He's doing something right now. What's he doing?
Mike Smith: Uh I I'm think you're mistaken. Um I was told by Chuck Schumer that they can't do anything.
Nathan Brady: Oh.
Mike Smith: So
Nathan Brady: Oh, well.
Mike Smith: sorry
Nathan Brady: Oh,
Mike Smith: to
Nathan Brady: wait. No,
Mike Smith: say
Nathan Brady: this
Mike Smith: that.
Nathan Brady: is the wrong story. He's got a gun. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. shared the wrong story. Okay, here we go. Um I think and and it's a little bit longer than that now. I think he's going on 21 hours. Cy Booker is don't call it a filibuster. I see a lot of people calling it a filibuster. It is not a filibuster.
Mike Smith: What
Nathan Brady: It is
Mike Smith: is it?
Nathan Brady: he's not blocking any specific legislation.
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: Um so, so in the traditional sense, it's not a filibuster. It's more of a disruption of the regular and this and this is the problem I have with this.

00:02:45

Nathan Brady: Okay. So, people are going to give Corey a lot of credit here. Fine. I'll give him a
Mike Smith: right?
Nathan Brady: little I'm going to give him a little bit of credit. Okay. I'm going to give him a little bit of credit.
Mike Smith: Look,
Nathan Brady: He's
Mike Smith: who
Nathan Brady: disrupting.
Mike Smith: you like? Chuck Schumer more or Corey
Nathan Brady: Oh,
Mike Smith: Burker
Nathan Brady: Jesus
Mike Smith: right now?
Nathan Brady: Christ. Don't
Mike Smith: Just
Nathan Brady: Don't Come
Mike Smith: I'm
Nathan Brady: on.
Mike Smith: asking
Nathan Brady: No,
Mike Smith: questions.
Nathan Brady: no,
Mike Smith: I'm just
Nathan Brady: no. I'm saying we're not doing enough. This is a good
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: start. However,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: come
Mike Smith: Doing
Nathan Brady: on.
Mike Smith: more than nothing is good.
Nathan Brady: Do it. Thank you for doing something now. I hope this I hope this continues. I hope somebody picks it.

00:03:16

Nathan Brady: I hope they have a plan that we don't know about where Corey's going to go 24 hours and then somebody else is going to step in and go 24 hours and they're just going to keep doing it. Now, that's goddamn that's how you fight. Okay, but I'm going to tell you right now that this to me, why weren't you doing this when there was legislation
Mike Smith: confirmation hearings.
Nathan Brady: when
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: when there was confirmation hearings going on? Why are you doing this when there was nothing scheduled to happen today and pretending like it is this cool big major disruption? There better be more is all I'm saying. Don't stop here. Okay?
Mike Smith: Don't stop now.
Nathan Brady: Don't stop. That's that's my take that's that's my whole take on this is I see I see people calling him a hero. Listen guys, we've had a lot of f****** time to stop Trump and this administration and it's a little bit late on Is this an April Fool's Day joke? Is that what they're doing?

00:04:18

Mike Smith: You know, I I I don't know. I I don't think it is, but you can't really tell anymore. I think I said it to you earlier when we were doing the pre-show notes stuff where I was like, I've not really seen a lot of, you know, April Fool's things going around, so
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: maybe this is just the most elaborate April Fool's joke ever.
Nathan Brady: I think April Fools is really hard in a post-truth society, right? Like it's
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: hard.
Mike Smith: because because Yeah, you're right. You know, 15 20 years ago, somebody would post something on Facebook or whatever or like their personal blog and it would be it had to have that like nugget of truth. It had to be
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: somewhat believable
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: and outlandish enough that it would spread like wildfire.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: And now you're just like, we found um monkeys on the moon and they
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: live in the caves. And you're just like, yeah, probably.

00:05:07

Nathan Brady: Probably.
Mike Smith: This
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: world makes no sense to me.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Oh, oh,
Mike Smith: They
Nathan Brady: Donald
Mike Smith: deported
Nathan Brady: Trump
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: has
Mike Smith: monkeys. Is that what happened?
Nathan Brady: Donald Trump has attacked Iceland and taken it over. And you're like, Iceland? Don't you mean Greenland? Weren't they doing a Greenland thing? No, no, no. He it just just Iceland. And it was an administrative error, but they act but they actually but but now it's too late. So they're not they're
Mike Smith: Uh
Nathan Brady: not going
Mike Smith: oh.
Nathan Brady: back. And you're like, "Oh, all right. Well, that's probably real." So yeah, I I I get it. I I know Mike's looking it up right now. Wait, did Trump attack Iceland? No, it's not. I just made that up. So, uh, so yeah, we're Anyway, I don't have a lot to say on this except God damn it.

00:05:44

Nathan Brady: When I when I What? We lost Mike. I lost him. What happened? You're
Mike Smith: Did I get lost?
Nathan Brady: Yeah, you you left us. Uh,
Mike Smith: Oh no. On my screen you like froze and then I was sitting there to dead air for 20 seconds.
Nathan Brady: No. Jesus. I thought you were looking up whether uh whether um we're going to edit all this out, folks. If you're if you're seeing this, it's because I didn't
Mike Smith: It's
Nathan Brady: feel
Mike Smith: all gone wrong.
Nathan Brady: it's because I didn't feel like editing it out. So, enjoy it. Okay. Um All right. So, all I was saying was I don't have a lot more to say on this except it better continue. Um
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: this can't this can't be it. Um and I'm hoping I'm going to move us into our our our next uh two stories, I guess, tonight.
Mike Smith: Yeah. I just

00:06:31

Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: a couple items on this one. I will say that he's already um yielded time a few times to other members of the
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: Democratic caucus who have taken the floor while he, you know, used the bathroom or whatever and then they
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: come back and yield it back to him. So it isn't exactly uh standalone here, but it is again something. It's better than
Nathan Brady: How
Mike Smith: us
Nathan Brady: long
Mike Smith: just
Nathan Brady: can
Mike Smith: going
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: do something and nobody does anything.
Nathan Brady: So, listen. I don't know. And I don't I don't even understand how this is like a like a thing you can do. And we've talked about the filibuster
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: in the past at length, but how long can you um hand it off to somebody? Like say I hand it off to Bernie Sanders, right? Can Bernie talk for four hours while I take a quick three-hour nap and come back and give it another nine, 10, you know, hours like

00:07:15

Mike Smith: not not in not in a traditional filibuster when you're trying to stop a vote on something. You actually have to stand there and filibuster. Um I
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: don't know like you
Nathan Brady: Are you
Mike Smith: said
Nathan Brady: sure?
Mike Smith: at the outs well pretty sure. I mean maybe we should look that up. Uh but but in
Nathan Brady: Let's
Mike Smith: in
Nathan Brady: not lie
Mike Smith: this
Nathan Brady: to him.
Mike Smith: like there's no vote there's no motion to vacate. There's no none of that stuff. So he can just keep talking. So I don't I don't think that it matters as much. I don't know.
Nathan Brady: Well, they so if but it but but if somebody yelled like if Marjgerie Taylor Green who's not in the Senate so that that's
Mike Smith: Right. Right.
Nathan Brady: but if she was like ah Cy Booker's got a gun and they you know can the you know can they take him out of there and then that that pretty much ends this you know.

00:07:59

Mike Smith: I I don't know. Yeah. I I don't I really don't know.
Nathan Brady: So strong Thurman um has the longest solo filibuster in the US Senate. He did it for 24 hours and 18 minutes. Um what do you think he did that against? What do you think he was filibustering against? Take a wild guess
Mike Smith: Thurman
Nathan Brady: from Thurman. I'll give you I'll give you a hint. I'll give you a hint and I bet you'll nail it. 1957
Mike Smith: segregation or
Nathan Brady: Civil
Mike Smith: desegregation.
Nathan Brady: Rights Act.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Civil Civil Rights Act. Good, man. f****** man. Uh, okay. So, let's move on. We have a couple of um uh elections going on tonight. Some really important elections. Polls will be closing soon. I think they're they're well I don't know what time they're open in till in Florida, but I know that in Wisconsin some polls are closing at 5, but currently um the the first race that we want to talk about is the um is the Supreme Court race.

00:09:00

Nathan Brady: uh which faces that uh shimmel dude and the George Sorosbacked Susan Crawford. Um I want to talk about this for a couple reasons, right? Uh we tweeted from our from our Blue Ski account yesterday a couple of uh a couple of US laws and I just want to share them and read them out for people and then um give them some context into why uh I tweeted this or I keep saying tweeted. You know what? Can they just rename Blue Sky to Twitter? Can we can we take that
Mike Smith: They're
Nathan Brady: or
Mike Smith: not using that name.
Nathan Brady: I mean nobody's
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: using it, right? So u 18 US code 597. It is illegal to make or offer expenditures to vote, withhold a vote, or vote against for or against a candidate. Okay, that seems pretty clear, right? Covered covered
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: all the bases. Um 52 USC uh 10307C prohibits paying or accepting payment for registering to vote or voting with penalties of up to $10,000 in fines and 5 years of imprisonment.

00:10:06

Nathan Brady: So then I want to go I don't know if you if you caught it when I first shared the story. So let's go back and see what is this? What is that giant check? What is this check for?
Mike Smith: I don't know. It doesn't It says spokesperson
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: in the in the in the memo line.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. It says uh uh he declared them spokespeople for his political group. But I mean obvious this this is this couldn't be more obvious what he's doing here, right? He's He was paying people to go doortodoor. He was paying people to
Mike Smith: All
Nathan Brady: uh to sign his petition. He was putting
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: people in a lottery. He was trying to get people, you know, hey, tell me that you got five other people to vote and I'll put you in this lottery. I mean, it's so clear what he's doing here. He's dumping so much money into this race. the other night on uh I don't know whether it was Fox or or American Patriot Eagle News.

00:11:04

Nathan Brady: Um but he you know they they were showing him speaking at the at the Wisconsin rally which had very few people uh m much fewer than the the number of people that Bernie Sanders and AOC got. Um
Mike Smith: It's it's a special election to fill a sup state supreme court seat in April. Okay.
Nathan Brady: yeah,
Mike Smith: This is going to have the least amount of visibility of every political
Nathan Brady: right.
Mike Smith: uh election that's ever happened.
Nathan Brady: But
Mike Smith: So
Nathan Brady: but Elon calls it one of the most important elections for humanity. And that's
Mike Smith: it
Nathan Brady: a
Mike Smith: is not not the reason he thinks it is, but it is very important. Obviously, Wisconsin has had a uh horribly gerrymandered uh election map
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: done by the Republicans and it they have a case sitting to to be heard by their state supreme court to draw new lines and they're waiting on this uh election here to to take that up. If a Democrat wins it, obviously Republicans are going to be upset because they're going to fix the gerrymander.

00:12:07

Mike Smith: probably if they were better, they'd gerrymander it in favor of the Democrats because I mean, f*** it, right? But um so this is an important election. If if you want Wisconsin to to be read forever, then then the Republican needs to win. That's mainly what Elon's talking about.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. I mean, uh, you can see just from this article, um, Susan Crawford's a Dane County judge who led legal fights to protect union power. Um, boy, remember when the unions were like, "No, Trump will be good for us." Um, protect abortion rights and opposes voter
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: ID
Mike Smith: remember when the unions were like, "We're not backing a candidate this time around."
Nathan Brady: and Yeah. Yeah. We know what that meant, though.
Mike Smith: Just as a a sidebar on that one, how many of these guys, you know, the unions and and these these um figures who would often back a candidate in presidential races of the past, how much of their internal polling must have said, "Oh, it's neck and neck, and I don't want to make an enemy en enemy out of either party."

00:13:11

Mike Smith: I mean, how much of that had to go on, right? Because
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: we're seeing
Nathan Brady: mean
Mike Smith: it now. Trump is Trump is coming back with a vengeance and just using the uh the executive branch and judicial branches as cudgels against his enemies.
Nathan Brady: I mean that's the that's the scary
Mike Smith: So if I'm
Nathan Brady: thing.
Mike Smith: the teamsters, I'm like I don't want to get into a lawsuit with this crazy person.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, I mean I I think that's how well I don't know. I think that might be part of it. My main concern is what's what what's that going to do for future elections, right?
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: I mean Trump is literally going after law firms and they're capitulating. Um
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: he's going after law firms. They're they're donating hundreds of millions of dollars of pro bono time now to him and his uh you know pursuits to take over the world or whatever. Um, so yeah, you don't want to come out anymore against these political candidate, but you know what?

00:14:01

Nathan Brady: The Democrats aren't going to do that. The Democrats aren't going to make executive orders to um, you know, to shut down your law firm ostensively. You know,
Mike Smith: That's why
Nathan Brady: should
Mike Smith: we're
Nathan Brady: they
Mike Smith: here now. If
Nathan Brady: should
Mike Smith: Biden
Nathan Brady: they?
Mike Smith: had the courage to use his immune executive action authority,
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: we would we wouldn't be here today.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: That's all I'm
Nathan Brady: But
Mike Smith: saying.
Nathan Brady: he just missed.
Mike Smith: Just justice.
Nathan Brady: Uh just just
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: missed.
Mike Smith: also want to point out this going back to this Musk thing that this uh the whole lottery thing is such a scam.
Nathan Brady: It's
Mike Smith: They
Nathan Brady: a
Mike Smith: already
Nathan Brady: scam.
Mike Smith: admitted that the person who won the lottery was picked in advance and it didn't matter because they didn't it doesn't like it doesn't matter if you actually uh I don't remember what the opt-in is like but let's say that they had like a sign up form.

00:14:50

Mike Smith: Didn't matter if you filled that out. You're not getting picked. they already
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: know who they're giving the million dollars to and it's not you. So
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: this thing already by virtue of being like electioneering it's like it's illegal on many fronts and they I think the voters who signed up for this should probably sue Elon Musk.
Nathan Brady: I mean, I I'd like to see a lot of that. I'd like to see a lot of of suing Elon Musk. I mean, while we're on the topic of Elon, before we switch over to um the the next race, and by the way, just Okay, let me let me take a step back because you said something important though,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: um you know, you talked about redistric redistricting in
Mike Smith: Yep.
Nathan Brady: uh Wisconsin, and yeah, this
Mike Smith: Yep.
Nathan Brady: is this is this is a really really important race. So, I just want to state that I I'm worried on two fronts. I'm worried that if um oh god I already forgot his name because uh Shiml if Shiml wins or if Shiml loses he's not going to concede and he's going to have a whole

00:15:48

Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: insane federal government
Mike Smith: because
Nathan Brady: behind
Mike Smith: we're seeing that. We're seeing that in uh North Carolina, right? That's the same thing that's going on there where there
Nathan Brady: right
Mike Smith: was a state supreme Supreme Court uh victory for the Democrat and and it's been four months and the guy's still in a lawsuit over it.
Nathan Brady: yeah I think that one's pretty much I That's pretty much over. Um,
Mike Smith: But it's
Nathan Brady: this
Mike Smith: going to be the same it's the same thing like you're talking
Nathan Brady: Yeah,
Mike Smith: about. It's going to be this same uh dog and pony show of
Nathan Brady: it's
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: going to
Mike Smith: I'm
Nathan Brady: be there's
Mike Smith: s
Nathan Brady: oh, voter ID and all of these and ah, there's Venezuelan gang members. We have to deport them and do a special election and blah blah blah. So, yeah, I mean, I am worried. What is this guy on my screen? Why?

00:16:27

Nathan Brady: Get go away.
Mike Smith: He's beautiful.
Nathan Brady: Um, I need some pi hole up in here for this browser. Um, so so yeah. So, I just wanted to make sure it is clear. It actually is a really important election. I am never going to say that I'm hopeful ever again uh when it comes to when it comes to
Mike Smith: That
Nathan Brady: elections.
Mike Smith: makes sense.
Nathan Brady: Uh so, we'll just we'll just see what happens. We're going to have results hopefully um in the next couple of hours and I'm sure we'll be posting about it on a blue sky. So, um let's be hopeful here. But then the next race um and I can bring that one up.
Mike Smith: Florida.
Nathan Brady: Flow rider I think. Is fla
Mike Smith: Oh, is it
Nathan Brady: in this
Mike Smith: fl
Nathan Brady: one?
Mike Smith: is it fla?
Nathan Brady: It's flow rider.
Mike Smith: What's he running for?
Nathan Brady: Uh no it's not. Okay. Sorry.
Mike Smith: Ah

00:17:14

Nathan Brady: So yeah. So this race uh there's two races going on but both for the uh first and sixth congressional districts in Florida. Um Matt Gates of course his seat is up. uh pedophile, alleged pedophile Matt Gates and then Michael Waltz, who I don't know if he's an alleged pedophile or not.
Mike Smith: gates
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: is still with newsmax now, right? He's decided that that was his calling after
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: all.
Nathan Brady: think he has I don't know was it Newsmax or O? He's on one of them and he's got his own show. But now at least I don't hear about him every day.
Mike Smith: I still don't understand if I'm Matt Gates and I have proven time and time again that I have no scruples and I don't care what people think of me. Why on earth would you have resigned from the the the AG position? Like it doesn't I still don't understand it.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, it it
Mike Smith: And
Nathan Brady: doesn't.
Mike Smith: then he won his seat.

00:18:06

Mike Smith: So why not go back and be a representative from Florida? That's pretty funny, too. That would have been like that would have been how you really, you know,
Nathan Brady: We talked
Mike Smith: whatever.
Nathan Brady: about it.
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: know.
Nathan Brady: thought he was going to do it. we talked
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: about
Mike Smith: thought he
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: was
Nathan Brady: thought
Mike Smith: going to do it.
Nathan Brady: you know um
Mike Smith: Amazing.
Nathan Brady: yeah well turns out it didn't happen um so let's see Trump of course uh endorsed in both both uh Petronis which is unfortunately a really great name if you're in Florida um you
Mike Smith: Petronis.
Nathan Brady: know because you got like you got the Harry Potter fans and
Mike Smith: Oh
Nathan Brady: the all
Mike Smith: yeah. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: stuff
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: so if somebody's just going in and is like I don't know but thankfully this is not a quote quote unquote nonpartisan race like uh the Supreme Court race is.

00:18:50

Nathan Brady: It's supposedly nonpartisan, meaning that you won't be able to look at the ballot and just by walking in and not knowing anything about the candidates know that you can check off just the Republican or the Democrat based on your political affiliation.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: That
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: one, you know, you have to know something going in. Um, for for for these races, of course, um, you'll have the R next to Patronis and the D next to uh, gay Valamont, but it's almost like like Petronis versus Voldemort. Like, it's not uh, because it's Valant. It's not
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: a great
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: I I know
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: that's
Mike Smith: really
Nathan Brady: probably
Mike Smith: interesting. I I I think that you touched on something that I had never considered before, but it's it's a good thing. I think is that in those nonpartisan seats because we vote for, you know, uh judges positions and things like that in local elections. And and I think you're right.

00:19:40

Mike Smith: I don't think they put party affiliation next to them. They just put their current or their last occupation. So, they'll be like prosecutor for the whatever district and or if they're going to become like a federal judge and they were
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: a state judge at blah blah blah. And it doesn't say anything about that. You actually have to go and do research. So I
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: feel like
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: in those cases it probably is more beneficial to the Democrats because the Republicans are like, I don't f****** know. And then they walk away. Is that you think?
Nathan Brady: I um Okay. So, I'm going to say yes, probably in most cases. I I would I'm I'm going to say just as somebody who leans left, very far
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: left,
Mike Smith: Yeah. Well, you
Nathan Brady: um
Mike Smith: know what you and I do? Like
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: you and
Nathan Brady: we

00:20:19

Mike Smith: I sit
Nathan Brady: look
Mike Smith: down
Nathan Brady: it up. We go online,
Mike Smith: and we look
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: it up.
Nathan Brady: research,
Mike Smith: We like make
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: little cheat sheets and we
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: know who we're
Nathan Brady: find
Mike Smith: going to vote for
Nathan Brady: voter
Mike Smith: and why.
Nathan Brady: guides and cross reference and
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: do all that stuff. And I think in in the case of the Michigan or excuse me, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, um
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: that would that would normally work in our favor, but the Republicans are just going to vote for the guy anyway. Uh, so
Mike Smith: Oh, is it guy versus Can you tell
Nathan Brady: it's
Mike Smith: by the name?
Nathan Brady: well it's Susan versus uh
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah. So of course you can
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: um
Mike Smith: you're probably right. Then they're going to be like, I'm not going to vote for no woman.

00:20:50

Mike Smith: I don't care what the position is.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. So, um, in the so in the other race in, um, in, uh, Waltz's, uh, seat, the Democrats have actually outperformed the Republicans 10 to one in fundraising,
Mike Smith: I'm just
Nathan Brady: which
Mike Smith: fun.
Nathan Brady: is really surprising, especially considering a lot of people I know, a lot of people I know are done donating to Democrats until
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: they grow a f****** spine,
Mike Smith: yeah.
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: Done. 100% done. I've
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: been I've been responding to a lot of their uh their their messaging with you don't get any more dollars till you do something.
Nathan Brady: And and I'm wondering if part of Corey Booker's um I'm going to call it a performance right now
Mike Smith: Yeah. It's
Nathan Brady: because
Mike Smith: a performance
Nathan Brady: that's all it
Mike Smith: of
Nathan Brady: is
Mike Smith: course. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: is um because th those internal numbers are going, "Oh my god, where where where is the money?"

00:21:46

Nathan Brady: Like we thought we would be there'd be tons of money coming in to like help defeat Trump, but how how
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: long can we do that, man? Like we, you know, how long can you keep asking us for money for saving women's rights for, you know, doing all the stuff that you promised that you were going to do and then you roll over and play dead,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: you know. So, um, so historically this is, uh, both districts are, uh, strong Republican dis district districts. Um, and polling indicates that, um, both contests are much much closer than expected. I would love I would just love to see some up some upsets here because I think um, is this a referendum on Trump and and Elon? Not necessarily. No. But I
Mike Smith: maybe
Nathan Brady: think it is a good
Mike Smith: um in the one race uh for Michael Walls's seat and I I'm
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: I apologize I don't remember the name of the candidate the Democratic candidate

00:22:47

Nathan Brady: Uh, whale.
Mike Smith: um whale thank you
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: and their whole campaign has been you know he ran on drain the swamp but he brought Elon with him and now it's billionaires running the swamp and so I
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: mean like that me that they use the kind of messaging that I think resonates with people who are uh a little pissed off about the government
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: that one
Nathan Brady: Um,
Mike Smith: at the very least I think the messaging was good I haven't heard much else out of the other one. I don't think that they were expected I don't think anybody expected either of them to be very close,
Nathan Brady: now now none of this is going to change anything if Republicans um sensibly hold, you know, those two seats. It's not going to change anything in the House. If Democrats win those seats, it's it's going to be an extremely close
Mike Smith: right? It's
Nathan Brady: uh
Mike Smith: what is it right now? 218
Nathan Brady: it's

00:23:37

Mike Smith: to 213
Nathan Brady: 213. Yeah. Yeah. So it' be
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: 218
Mike Smith: there
Nathan Brady: 215.
Mike Smith: and and there's four vacancies at the moment. So
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: Matt Gates is one of those vacancies and
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: Michael Waltz is another one,
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: right?
Nathan Brady: And we And
Mike Smith: So
Nathan Brady: again, it's it's expected that uh it'll stay that way, right? Like it'll stay Republican for both
Mike Smith: they'll
Nathan Brady: for
Mike Smith: stay.
Nathan Brady: both.
Mike Smith: Yeah, they they I
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: think that the betting line has got these two seats going red. I mean, it's Florida, so that would put them up to what, 218 or 220, 213. Is that right?
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: Or
Nathan Brady: let's
Mike Smith: maybe
Nathan Brady: see. Um because we know where all the money is and we've seen that the poly market billionaires seem to have a really good
Mike Smith: are you going to bring up Poly Market for us?

00:24:19

Nathan Brady: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Friends.
Mike Smith: Share. Share with me.
Nathan Brady: Whoa, whoa, whoa. First, let's bring up Wisconsin. Susan Crawford, 84% chance of victory. That is huge. And
Mike Smith: Poly
Nathan Brady: it and it
Mike Smith: market.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, starting on the 12th, things started to take off. Um,
Mike Smith: Wonder
Nathan Brady: and I
Mike Smith: why
Nathan Brady: got to tell you guys, uh, yeah, Poly Market is, uh, there's a lot of whales on here spending a ton of money. And look, it just did it just go up to 89% while we No. Okay. Um, and it they seem to be getting it right. Um, so that's that's really interesting. That's hopeful. That's the the most promising news. I just said I didn't want to be hopeful anymore. Um, let's
Mike Smith: He
Nathan Brady: go
Mike Smith: can't
Nathan Brady: back
Mike Smith: stop
Nathan Brady: to the
Mike Smith: himself.
Nathan Brady: Can't Stop himself. Let's Can we see uh let's see.

00:25:09

Nathan Brady: Can we see the Florida one on here? Here it is. Uh, nope. No, no, no. Florida six. Uh, Randy Fine, margin of victory. Um, yeah. So, it looks like that just thinks that that's just saying, well, Randy Fine is winning outright.
Mike Smith: Yeah, he's
Nathan Brady: Um,
Mike Smith: he's one and we're just betting on what the the spread is.
Nathan Brady: yeah. And what's the other one? Whale, right? So, let's look.
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: Whale. See if that's in here.
Mike Smith: there it is. No, that's the same one. It says Randy fine and and whale.
Nathan Brady: Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the same race. Um, yeah. So, Whale has a 1% chance of winning. Sorry. Who's uh Petronis versus uh Valant?
Mike Smith: Yeah. Versus Voldemort. Come on. You made the joke.
Nathan Brady: I made the joke. Uh
Mike Smith: There
Nathan Brady: yeah,

00:25:57

Mike Smith: you go.
Nathan Brady: so Valant 1% chance. Yeah. So
Mike Smith: Nah,
Nathan Brady: it doesn't
Mike Smith: they're both
Nathan Brady: Whoa.
Mike Smith: They're
Nathan Brady: What
Mike Smith: not
Nathan Brady: happened
Mike Smith: good.
Nathan Brady: here? Now again, doesn't look like there's a huge volume on either of these two. Um in
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: fact, let's
Mike Smith: 300,000
Nathan Brady: go back and check the
Mike Smith: there,
Nathan Brady: volume. Yeah,
Mike Smith: 600,000
Nathan Brady: let's go back and
Mike Smith: there.
Nathan Brady: 600,000. Let's see. Let's
Mike Smith: was the
Nathan Brady: go
Mike Smith: other
Nathan Brady: back and
Mike Smith: one
Nathan Brady: check the volume of Why is it just taking me back to the front page? What are you doing? Um two million in volume on the Wisconsin
Mike Smith: on the
Nathan Brady: one.
Mike Smith: Wisconsin
Nathan Brady: That gives
Mike Smith: Supreme
Nathan Brady: me
Mike Smith: Court.
Nathan Brady: listen
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: if
Mike Smith: interesting.

00:26:25

Nathan Brady: we w if we walk away from this, you know, with the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, but the other two seats which are in very strong Republican districts. Um,
Mike Smith: Look, there's a side bet for the the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. It was it's Susan Crawford's margin of victory. So, they're betting the spread there, too.
Nathan Brady: okay. So, I mean, that's that's pretty telling. I I
Mike Smith: And that
Nathan Brady: guess.
Mike Smith: one's got another 300,000 behind it. So, it's it's interesting.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Um, all right. So, like I said, if we if we come out of there with the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and um but
Mike Smith: That
Nathan Brady: but
Mike Smith: one's important. I I
Nathan Brady: yeah,
Mike Smith: don't think the other two seats are going to be
Nathan Brady: I don't think they were ever up for for
Mike Smith: No,
Nathan Brady: taking.
Mike Smith: I think that they're they're fun to talk about, but they're not realistic.
Nathan Brady: Now, we will we'll definitely look at the margin of victory and, you know, if it's surprising, that would be fantastic.

00:27:15

Nathan Brady: Um, and
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: hopefully,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: you know, hopefully a sign. We'll we'll also have to look at it historically. Okay. What was
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: it,
Mike Smith: For sure.
Nathan Brady: you know, in the in the
Mike Smith: When
Nathan Brady: last
Mike Smith: Gates last
Nathan Brady: uh
Mike Smith: won and Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Right. Exactly. And I
Mike Smith: Well, it's
Nathan Brady: believe
Mike Smith: going to be hard for that one, too, like we were saying before, because it is a special election. Finding that that
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: in context is hard to
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: do.
Nathan Brady: Right. I know that I
Mike Smith: We'll
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: we'll
Nathan Brady: think
Mike Smith: do our
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: best.
Nathan Brady: Gates actually was up against Almost said Baltimore. Gates
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: was that that's who Gates's um opponent was, Valant.
Mike Smith: Really?
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: In

00:27:48

Nathan Brady: and
Mike Smith: like
Nathan Brady: she
Mike Smith: a in
Nathan Brady: picked
Mike Smith: a
Nathan Brady: up
Mike Smith: primary.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. No, no, no. In in he won the election. He that his seat was up, remember, in this last cycle.
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: And he um and he won the election, but I think it was close. I mean, it wasn't close. It was like 6040, but she picked up
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: 40% of the vote against, you know, a national figure like Matt Gates, which is
Mike Smith: alleged child uh sexual
Nathan Brady: alleged. Alleged. You have to say alleged. You
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: know, we
Mike Smith: said
Nathan Brady: got to
Mike Smith: alleged.
Nathan Brady: give the guy some credit.
Mike Smith: I alleged
Nathan Brady: Some credit
Mike Smith: it. No, I
Nathan Brady: when
Mike Smith: didn't
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: allege it. Somebody's
Nathan Brady: when you
Mike Smith: alleged

00:28:18

Nathan Brady: call him
Mike Smith: it
Nathan Brady: a a child molester or a pedophile or a human sex trafficker.
Mike Smith: sex
Nathan Brady: Make
Mike Smith: p
Nathan Brady: sure that you
Mike Smith: I think is the alleged
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: sex pest.
Nathan Brady: I mean, that's that's a little honestly I think sex pest is a little too nice
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: for for people like uh Matt Gates allegedly. Allegedly.
Mike Smith: Oh, okay.
Nathan Brady: I don't
Mike Smith: All
Nathan Brady: know.
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: We don't know. There's not been any that he hasn't, you know, I think due process is really important in this country.
Mike Smith: Especially
Nathan Brady: um
Mike Smith: for uh criminals
Nathan Brady: for criminals,
Mike Smith: because they they needed the most, right?
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: If he is if Matt Gates is, you know, guilty of of, you know, sexual assault style crimes, he should be allowed to defend himself in court.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, I think that I think that'd be really great.
Mike Smith: Seems
Nathan Brady: Like

00:29:04

Mike Smith: fair. Seems
Nathan Brady: because
Mike Smith: fair.
Nathan Brady: how how crazy would it be? Let's say if we took Matt Gates and we
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: said actually we you did do uh sex trafficking and then we
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: deported him to like an Al Salvadorian prison, right? And then
Mike Smith: Well,
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: slave
Nathan Brady: were
Mike Smith: labor
Nathan Brady: like
Mike Smith: camp for sure.
Nathan Brady: labor camp. Sure. Let sure. And we said um Oh, we forgot about due process. Administrative error. We totally forgot. Uh, but we already dropped him off. We It's nothing
Mike Smith: Well,
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: surely
Nathan Brady: can do.
Mike Smith: surely you have to like bring him back so that he can get his due process, right?
Nathan Brady: So, in case you haven't picked up on this, we're we're alluding to uh another story that is has been breaking over the past couple of days that I wish was an April Fool's joke.

00:29:58

Nathan Brady: Um, the Trump administration has picked up a father who is here legally um in Maryland and deported him, sent him to the the Al El Salvadorian labor camp um and then was like, "Oh, shoot. That was actually an administrative error." Um, so great. It was an administrative error. We're going to go we're going to go get him out of there. We're gonna go get him back, right? Are we gonna do that? Are we gonna do that, Mike?
Mike Smith: Well, we could I I need to get my passport first and probably I don't know several million dollars to bribe the uh El Salvadorian government. But we could do that. shirt.
Nathan Brady: Uh, but it turns out, uh, the Trump administration has has said, "We're actually not going to do that. We, uh, we're not going to go get him."
Mike Smith: It's just
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: a It's just a whoopsy doodle.
Nathan Brady: I mean I don't
Mike Smith: The whole the whole thing. I think that that it's starting.

00:31:05

Mike Smith: I think it's starting. So, here's I have this
Nathan Brady: Oh, give
Mike Smith: quote.
Nathan Brady: Okay, give go ahead. Go ahead. Tell
Mike Smith: I'm gonna
Nathan Brady: me how
Mike Smith: give
Nathan Brady: it's
Mike Smith: you the
Nathan Brady: starting.
Mike Smith: quote. It says, "It's hard to know what's real and what's not real, but if it is real, this is f****** horrible." That was from Joe
Nathan Brady: Who?
Mike Smith: Rogan in response to this story uh on his podcast.
Nathan Brady: Joe
Mike Smith: And I think
Nathan Brady: Rogan.
Mike Smith: I think that normal people are going to start understanding here because it's it's literally them saying, "Oh yeah, we f***** up and deported somebody that that shouldn't have been deported, should have had legal due process in front of them, but we just put him on a plane and sent him away and we're not going to fix it."
Nathan Brady: So,
Mike Smith: And I think that everybody c every American can get behind. No, that's terrible. do better.

00:31:52

Nathan Brady: well, every American you'd think, except the guy's name is Abrego Garcia. So, of course, not every American is going to say, "Bring him back." Um, let's just talk about Abdo Garcia for a second
Mike Smith: Let's
Nathan Brady: because
Mike Smith: talk.
Nathan Brady: he
Mike Smith: Let's do it.
Nathan Brady: he fled. He actually fled El Salvador. So, he's one of the few people going to this labor camp who's actually from there. So, hey, look on the bright side, right?
Mike Smith: who was fleeing the labor camp
Nathan Brady: He he he he
Mike Smith: because he didn't want his government to lock him up
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: without
Nathan Brady: he
Mike Smith: due
Nathan Brady: fled
Mike Smith: process.
Nathan Brady: El El Salvador
Mike Smith: f***** up.
Nathan Brady: due to gang violence in 2011. That's the reason why he fled. And now he's he's back in El Salvador being put into a prison with alleged gang members. He
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: sought asylum in the United States, which is a beautiful thing that we offer.

00:32:41

Nathan Brady: And he was granted a withhold of a withholding of removal in 2019, which legally protects you from deportation.
Mike Smith: All
Nathan Brady: The
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: man asks for an for asylum. The United States does this incredible thing. We gave him asylum and look what we just did to him. I mean,
Mike Smith: We've
Nathan Brady: what?
Mike Smith: essentially signed his death. You know what I mean? And
Nathan Brady: Seriously?
Mike Smith: and not only that, but you completely destroyed his family who was living with him until he was, you know, detained,
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: deported, and nobody and you don't care. You just don't give a s*** as the government. It's It's very uh scary. I have to imagine that that being a person of color in the United States right now is is probably as scary as it's ever been in our lifetime.
Nathan Brady: I I can't I can't imagine. I mean, I I
Mike Smith: We've seen the videos. We've seen
Nathan Brady: Yeah.

00:33:40

Mike Smith: the videos
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: of of
Nathan Brady: mean,
Mike Smith: people just walking down the street and then, you know, four uh what do you you know, un unbadged or whatever. They're just like undercovers
Nathan Brady: yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: jump
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: out of ban you
Nathan Brady: Masked masked
Mike Smith: just
Nathan Brady: thugs with no identification. um and
Mike Smith: just
Nathan Brady: won't
Mike Smith: kidnap
Nathan Brady: won't answer
Mike Smith: you.
Nathan Brady: questions. Just dragging you off the streets. I'm sorry I keep saying Salvadorian, but it's Salvadoran. Um because I'm learning how to read. Um but there
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: there's apparently a huge uh Salvadoran American community in Maryland and there is a significant um uprising within that community right now.
Mike Smith: I'm I'm
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: sure
Nathan Brady: yeah, which yeah, obviously I would just uh man, I would just ask everybody to be careful. Um especially if you don't look like this, which is, you know, as pale as you you can f****** look.

00:34:30

Nathan Brady: Um you know, please please do everything you can to protect yourself right now. Uh go about things the legal way. Uh certainly call your senator. I mean, I don't know what else to do here other than getting out
Mike Smith: There's
Nathan Brady: in the streets and and and protesting. I
Mike Smith: you
Nathan Brady: don't really
Mike Smith: have
Nathan Brady: know
Mike Smith: to
Nathan Brady: what
Mike Smith: do
Nathan Brady: else
Mike Smith: that.
Nathan Brady: to do.
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: Um,
Mike Smith: what you have to do.
Nathan Brady: so
Mike Smith: Now,
Nathan Brady: yeah,
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: this is
Mike Smith: big orange idiots going to tell, you know, go on Truth Social and claim that everybody who's protesting this is secretly MS-13 and then Elon will get on Twitter and say that they're all, you know, bots or paid for or whatever.
Nathan Brady: right. Yeah. Um,
Mike Smith: But, I mean, it just jumps down to like what are we going to stand up for or what are we going to do, you know, allow to happen as a country?

00:35:16

Nathan Brady: right
Mike Smith: deporting people who are here the the right reasons for the right way just because they're brown.
Nathan Brady: now they're like, "Do it the right way. You got to do it the right way. There's a process." And I'm
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: like, "Okay." Did the process. He
Mike Smith: The
Nathan Brady: did the
Mike Smith: government's
Nathan Brady: process.
Mike Smith: position was that, you know, he has links to MS-13. And we would respond with, yeah, he was fleeing MS-13. He said so.
Nathan Brady: But even
Mike Smith: You
Nathan Brady: even
Mike Smith: have it.
Nathan Brady: still, even still, prove it then. Prove it. Show us the
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: links in a court of law. He has due process. That's God damn it. I mean, this isn't This isn't hard.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: Well, all right. Speaking of due process,
Mike Smith: There's more.
Nathan Brady: um, well, no, there here's a guy
Mike Smith: Yeah.

00:36:00

Nathan Brady: who's, I guess, actually getting his due process. Um, we haven't had an update on Luigi Manion in a while. Um, some, you know, on the internet, uh, are treating him like a folk hero. Uh, I'm sure everybody knows who he is by now. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently said uh they're they're going to seek the death penalty. Um what what are your thoughts on that?
Mike Smith: Uh, it's dumb. So, they've been trying to, this is the Trump admin I'm talking about now, they have been trying to reinstate capital punishment at the federal level since their administration began. Um, and I think that they see this as a high visibility target and an easy one to make recommendations on. So, the attorney general basically weighed in to say that that they should be pressing charges and looking for uh a a capital um you know, punishment as a part of this.
Nathan Brady: Well, they're they're
Mike Smith: I think
Nathan Brady: certainly
Mike Smith: it's all
Nathan Brady: doing
Mike Smith: staging because it's currently being tried in New York.

00:37:12

Mike Smith: So, you're going to have a New York jury and they're going to have to find unanimously that he's that he should be put to death for that to happen. Which I'm actually interested to hear somebody who actually knows the law talk about this because I sort of had it under my head that implanted in my head from a legal eagle that I saw 100 million years ago when this first started that
Nathan Brady: Mhm.
Mike Smith: they were already going to have a tough time trying this this case
Nathan Brady: as
Mike Smith: with
Nathan Brady: like
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: a
Mike Smith: charges laid as such. And
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: now they're going to be looking for a death penalty sentence to go with it. Seems like they're
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: stacking a lot against themselves.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. I'm I mean I don't think it's going to change. still going to get like the one he's going to be found guilty of the one charge. He's not like it's not like a he's going to be getting away with it because they're stacking a lot against themselves.

00:38:01

Nathan Brady: Um the way that they're going to do it is they're going to they're going to lay out all of these different charges and it will probably be a guilty guilty innocent innocent kind of kind of thing. Right. Um
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: but
Mike Smith: like the 34 charges for Trump.
Nathan Brady: Right. Exactly. Well, wasn't he found guilty on all of those?
Mike Smith: Oh, he was. Yeah,
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: you're right. But he could have been found innocent or
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: not guilty on some of them. Sorry, I got
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: confused. That's my fault.
Nathan Brady: uh so
Mike Smith: So yeah, he's got he's facing 11 state criminal counts in New York, including first-degree murder, and murder is a crime of terrorism. So
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: is the second one. Murder is a crime of terrorism
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: is the one that they're not likely going to be able to prove unless, you know, some really crazy circumstances occur.

00:38:45

Mike Smith: But I mean, first-degree murder seems like a slam dunk because he killed that guy and we all saw it.
Nathan Brady: I mean, and
Mike Smith: Now,
Nathan Brady: then
Mike Smith: his
Nathan Brady: there's
Mike Smith: def
Nathan Brady: other
Mike Smith: his defense might be that wasn't me and it'll be on the state to prove it. But,
Nathan Brady: Yeah. And there was other um various weapons, possessions, charges as well. So, it's not like like he's going away. Uh he's going to go away for
Mike Smith: right,
Nathan Brady: a while.
Mike Smith: I think I think that some of the other things are like conspiracy to commit murder and some stuff like that. And that seems like pretty easy to figure out because he was like staying in the Manhattan hostel with a fake ID and he had been like when he was talking to people who are now going to be, you know, uh uh witnesses, he was giving them false statements about where he was going and where he was from and D. So like the conspiracy to commit the murder is pretty slam dunk, I would think.

00:39:37

Nathan Brady: And then and then he's also I mean there's two separate trials here too. I believe there is state and federal. He's
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: being charged with with uh with crimes at the state level which he's already pleaded not guilty to. And then
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: his hearing um to enter a plea for federal charges isn't until later this month. I think it's the 18th or something. But you can just see I mean the point of this story and bringing the story up is uh you can see Pam Bondi's in in her statement you can see the framing um you know everything now is an act of political violence. Um
Mike Smith: right?
Nathan Brady: so I mean arguably you could say that Manion's uh you know attack alleged attack on on Brian Thompson was an act of of revenge of you know whatever. But calling it political violence, terrorism, I mean, that's that seems like a stretch to me. But you can see the framing. You know, she says, uh, innocent man, Brian Thompson, an innocent man and father of two.

00:40:37

Nathan Brady: All right. Okay. Sure. Uh, and then act of political violence. I mean, we we see what you're doing. It's just like it's just like the Tesla thing, you know. Uh, it's funny. I saw an interesting article today where uh it was kind of like everybody's trading in their Teslas and nobody knows why and you're
Mike Smith: Oh
Nathan Brady: like
Mike Smith: yeah,
Nathan Brady: oh really nobody knows
Mike Smith: everybody
Nathan Brady: why
Mike Smith: knows why.
Nathan Brady: everything we know why. Uh and and the but the framing on it, right, is that oh this is terrorism. They're and everybody is focused on, you know, oh this one guy did this to a a dealership, this one person um attacked somebody in a car, you know, and they're pointing out these three instances, but you're talking about three people who aren't buying cars. We're talking about there's a significant drop in the resale, excuse me, the resale value of these of these cars.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: And that's coming from somewhere else.

00:41:36

Nathan Brady: It's not a uh you know, George Soros is sending me a check to not buy a Tesla. It's
Mike Smith: Is it because we're all afraid Luigi Manion like repeat killers or like copycats are going to kill people who buy Teslas?
Nathan Brady: Jesus Christ. Don't put that out there. I hope
Mike Smith: Political
Nathan Brady: not.
Mike Smith: violence,
Nathan Brady: Oh,
Mike Smith: active
Nathan Brady: but
Mike Smith: terrorism.
Nathan Brady: but no, I don't I don't think that's No, I don't think that's it either. I think there's just a guy who's uh acting like a weird Nazi uh that people are like, "Well, I don't want to be associated with this in any way." How is
Mike Smith: You're
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: so hard to see? I don't I
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: don't understand.
Mike Smith: I don't know.
Nathan Brady: Um, so not everything is an act of political violence or even an act of of uh, you know, it's it's not I would argue it's barely even political to say I don't want to be associated with a guy who is uh, who acts like a petulant little man baby uh, the way that Elon does.

00:42:34

Nathan Brady: So yeah, I I don't even think that's political.
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: It's weird that we have to choose sides on that,
Mike Smith: Yeah. No, I I
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: completely agree. I think that that the more visibility Americans get to Elon and his shenanigans, the more he is disliked. I think people see through his his obvious uh layers very easily.
Nathan Brady: Right. Right.
Mike Smith: You have a lot of people on the right who are obviously diehard Elon fanboys and they they love the you know they're the guys who are like he didn't do a Nazi salute. Okay, he was he was and then they do all sorts of mental gymnastics to go through that. I think normal people see Elon Musk do that and they go f****** weirdos doing it in Nazi. you see the weirdo on TV like um I have a little tiny little bit of breaking news for you about the the Wisconsin uh supreme state supreme court.
Nathan Brady: Okay. Okay. What
Mike Smith: Uh

00:43:31

Nathan Brady: do we got?
Mike Smith: I don't I don't know if you've heard about this but there's a little uh political uh activities council or something
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: uh called America Pack. You heard of the America Pack?
Nathan Brady: Uh-huh. I
Mike Smith: This
Nathan Brady: have
Mike Smith: is El Elon's pack now. Uh, this was posted just a little bit ago, like an hour or two ago, and it says, "Breaking starting now. You can earn more as a block captain for super judge Brad Skiiml." I don't know how to say his name.
Nathan Brady: Shiml.
Mike Smith: You will earn
Nathan Brady: What's a super
Mike Smith: 50
Nathan Brady: What? What's a super judge?
Mike Smith: hash superjudge. That's
Nathan Brady: Oh,
Mike Smith: what they're
Nathan Brady: for
Mike Smith: saying.
Nathan Brady: Christ's sakes.
Mike Smith: You'll now earn $50 for every picture with a Wisconsin resident outside of a voting location, they'll
Nathan Brady: Huh?
Mike Smith: get $50, too.
Nathan Brady: What?
Mike Smith: So, it's it's a scheme where if you take this picture and you send it to uh I guess America pack, I'm not really sure.

00:44:35

Mike Smith: Uh you know, you upload it to their their site. It's a sign on the block captain uh website. I'll send that to you. And it's it's uh buying these pictures to to show that you care.
Nathan Brady: It's too
Mike Smith: Only
Nathan Brady: late.
Mike Smith: problem only problem with that is that this uh violates election laws in Wisconsin. You're not allowed to take
Nathan Brady: Is
Mike Smith: pictures
Nathan Brady: that a problem?
Mike Smith: or you're not allowed to have political attire at all. For one, you can't have like a sign that says skimmel within a 100 feet of a polling location. So they're like take a picture and you're wearing one and you got a guy and you're voting and so more lawsuits for Elon.
Nathan Brady: Look at this stupid picture. This is
Mike Smith: AI
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: slop.
Nathan Brady: El Elon retweeted this AI slop of super judge. Does that even look like the guy? I don't even know. Um I I I've seen pictures of him and I thought he had a beard and was balding like I didn't I don't know any

00:45:29

Mike Smith: You
Nathan Brady: anyway.
Mike Smith: don't know. Yeah,
Nathan Brady: No,
Mike Smith: he's balding. He doesn't have a beard.
Nathan Brady: he
Mike Smith: He
Nathan Brady: doesn't
Mike Smith: looks
Nathan Brady: have a
Mike Smith: like
Nathan Brady: beard.
Mike Smith: this guy. If I mean, I don't understand this jawline. like they've given him like a round face, but he's like a a skinny faced fellow. Oh, I guess for a number of years he had like a little goatee.
Nathan Brady: All right. So, submit your block captain photos. Oh, there's a f five hour uh bonus. Um all amounts below are increased to $50.
Mike Smith: Yeah. So, they started this the other day and it was $20, but now because it's down the wire, they've upped it to $50. So, it'd be a real shame if you started messing with their systems by sending them, you know, pictures of things that they might not really want.
Nathan Brady: I mean, yeah. Um, it'd be it'd be a real shame if if Yeah.

00:46:16

Nathan Brady: you just started putting in actual names of residents and then just dumping in AI generated photos of, you know, use and go ahead use Grock. You know, really use all the free Grock, all the free Grock you can and put in a bunch of AI generated slot photos in here and make them go through that. Um, and then
Mike Smith: I like
Nathan Brady: pay
Mike Smith: how
Nathan Brady: out
Mike Smith: I mean this is this is completely off topic and it's a silly way to to to you know come at this but you and I are software developers right? So like you look at this and you go okay I'm going to take this picture of myself I'm going to upload it here I'm going to give them my first last and my mailing address right and what are they going to do? They're going to send me a check. Is that how that's going to work?
Nathan Brady: allegedly I assume
Mike Smith: This all just data capture, right? Like
Nathan Brady: this
Mike Smith: they're

00:47:06

Nathan Brady: is all
Mike Smith: just
Nathan Brady: just data
Mike Smith: stealing
Nathan Brady: capture.
Mike Smith: people's like
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: man.
Nathan Brady: And probably done terribly. I mean, but look at this website.
Mike Smith: Oh, I know. It's design is their passion. You can tell.
Nathan Brady: Um, okay. So, we got a little bit more breaking news. Um, unfortunately not election related. Um, yeah, it seems like uh we're learning uh an FDA worker is confirming that the CDC's entire uh FOYA office is gone. Uh the FDA's communications and web office were just cut. Um essentially, this FDA worker is saying the FDA is as we know it is gone.
Mike Smith: is effectively dead. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: It's dead. Uh, well, that can't have any downstream consequences. Is that is that true? Am I am I
Mike Smith: Um,
Nathan Brady: Are we preparing for the summer of food born illnesses? Are we
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: like what?

00:48:06

Mike Smith: we're not preparing for anything. What I'm preparing for, I think that a lot of people really overlook like a a a pivotal tenant of the FDA is that they disallow things going to market that are dangerous. Like
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: if you're if you're a
Nathan Brady: Sure.
Mike Smith: libertarian, you're like, I want to be able to do whatever I want to be able fine, but like to a point a company has to at least show that their product isn't going to effectively hurt everyone who takes it. Without the FDA in place, we're going to have snake oil salesmen everywhere. And there will be nobody with that stamp of FDA approved on it.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: You're
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: not going to
Nathan Brady: mean,
Mike Smith: know who's who and what's what. And by the time we figure out that all these things cause cancer in everybody, the the guys will be, you know, onto their next grift with their billions of dollars.
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: mean, yeah,

00:49:00

Mike Smith: really
Nathan Brady: you're
Mike Smith: where I'm that's that's really where my worry is,
Nathan Brady: Yeah, you're going to have to rely on your state and local governments to keep enforcing um those kinds of protections that that are there to keep you safe.
Mike Smith: right?
Nathan Brady: I you know I I I once had a conversation with somebody who was trying to make the argument that health inspectors shouldn't exist and that it was um you know the free market should be able to handle uh you know a situation like bad service slash poor hygiene at a restaurant.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: And it's like,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: how many people though have to die
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: before word gets out that like, oh, I'm not going to eat at that restaurant down the street? I mean, like
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: the point of those inspections is not only one to make sure you're complying with things that are keeping people safe, but also just the I mean, I'll just say it as somebody who used to run restaurants in a former life, the fear of one of those inspections shutting you down, you know, keeps you on your toes, right?

00:50:06

Nathan Brady: like make sure that you have all of your your procedures in place um to make sure you're not killing people. relying on the free market means that people are going to get more people are going to get sick for no reason and potentially die. um before
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: you're like, "Well, I'm not going to that Arby's
Mike Smith: And
Nathan Brady: on, you know,
Mike Smith: and I'll point out that this speaks directly to this uh you know bout of bird flu that we've been seeing and causing egg prices to sore, right? Well, do you know who mandates the response to that and handles recalls of like like tainted foods and things?
Nathan Brady: I mean, we just
Mike Smith: FDA
Nathan Brady: saw
Mike Smith: does that.
Nathan Brady: we just saw egg white. Uh did you see the egg white recall?" Um
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: I think I think let's see I think there was an egg white recall like or you know like the carton of eggs.
Mike Smith: yeah. Like cartons. Yeah.

00:50:57

Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um over 212,000 pounds of liquid egg products like egg beaters and Bob Evans were
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: recalled due to potential contamination with cleaning solution containing bleach. Okay.
Mike Smith: And oh, but the FDA is closed now. So I I guess
Nathan Brady: Now,
Mike Smith: just just drink them or eat them. You know, bleach is fine. Trump told you to take bleach to deal with COVID. So
Nathan Brady: now to be fair, this
Mike Smith: you're
Nathan Brady: came
Mike Smith: balanced.
Nathan Brady: from the US Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service, which as far as I know currently still exists.
Mike Smith: USDA does handle a lot of that stuff. I don't mean to conflate it with the FDA and say that the FDA is in charge of it. The FDA does do a lot of food recall style uh
Nathan Brady: Yes. Yeah.
Mike Smith: interventions, we'll say, but you're right. The USDA is basically the the vanguard for that.

00:51:52

Nathan Brady: Yeah. So, that that currently still exists, but the the FDA, like you say, I mean, uh it does it does do like regular food safety testing, especially like meat and poultry. It approves medication. It regulates medical devices.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: Uh you know, it uh all of that. It does all
Mike Smith: Keeps
Nathan Brady: of that stuff.
Mike Smith: keeps lead out of your stuff and Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um I I think the reason it's kind of like they were going through the list like they were doing with diversity, equity, and inclusion and they were seeing like oh equity and then suddenly like tax forms were pulled that had like equity in it and like it just didn't it didn't make any sense. I think one of the things the FDA does is also ensures vaccine safety. Uh and they're like oh has vaccine in it. are not doing anything vaccine
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: related anymore. Um the FDA protects against um radiation like radiation
Mike Smith: real.
Nathan Brady: admitting devices.

00:52:51

Nathan Brady: You know what I mean? So
Mike Smith: Yep.
Nathan Brady: the the FDA does so much. I I Who is this for? Who is eliminating the FDA for? I mean I don't
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: get it.
Mike Smith: taxpayer, Nate. It's
Nathan Brady: Oh,
Mike Smith: eliminating for the taxpayers
Nathan Brady: but
Mike Smith: because
Nathan Brady: where?
Mike Smith: of how much money we spend on the FDA every year.
Nathan Brady: So, am I getting a refund? Am I getting am I paying fewer taxes? Like, what is happening? What?
Mike Smith: Nothing. You're
Nathan Brady: Nothing.
Mike Smith: No, no,
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: no. You're you're going to pay the same taxes. You're might
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: be paying more taxes. It's unclear. Also, if the FDA were completely cut entirely, that would save approximately $6 billion a year or uh nothing. Basically nothing.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. No, it's it's it's Listen, I understand that all of these things add up, okay?

00:53:46

Nathan Brady: And I understand there act there truly is waste in the government, okay? There is. I mean, I'm not going to come out here and start beating the drum for the government. Like, that's not my thing. There is waste. Things can be done more efficiently. This is absolutely not the way to do it. This
Mike Smith: Right. It's it's
Nathan Brady: this
Mike Smith: the it's it comes back to the same argument we always make. Like we talk about health care as a right all the time. We're like health care is one of those things that we should as a society just pay for and have for everybody as a right because it's for the greater good. It just it doesn't I don't care if it costs money. It should it should be good for everybody and and that's that. FDA is the same way. I kind of don't care that it costs money. Same with Department of Education. I
Nathan Brady: Right.

00:54:30

Mike Smith: don't give a s*** that that costs money. These are things that I think most Americans think are imperative to the society improving is
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: educating all of our youth and giving them a solid education so that they understand the difference between facts and opinions, but also like making sure that their food is healthy. making sure that there's not any carcinogens that are the stuff that we're, you know, forcing them to do every single day. Having like like uh air quality standards that must be adhered to. Like these these parts of the bureaucracy are for important needs.
Nathan Brady: Well, I think that's the disconnect or one of the major differences between well, people on the left and people on the right. Uh
Mike Smith: Sure.
Nathan Brady: I think that fundamentally people on the left believe that social safety nets and generally helping people that doesn't directly benefit you has some positive effect on society as a whole which sure
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: in turn can benefit you. I mean in ter benefits your communities it benefits the country as a whole and on the other side of that it's well I ain't get none of that for me so why should

00:55:41

Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: they get it you
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: know uh and that I think that's one of the core differences it's selfishness
Mike Smith: It
Nathan Brady: um
Mike Smith: is. And I've and I've, you know, we've tried to make that argument over and over again. I remember I had this argument with my father-in-law, people about um here in California, we have free school lunches now. So, if your kid, if your kid goes to school and you don't have time to pack him a lunch, it doesn't matter. He's not going to go hungry. He'll have a lunch. He just has to ask for it. That's it. And my father-in-law is like,"Well, I don't want to pay taxes for these kids to eat food." And I was like, "Did you hear yourself right there? Why don't you want kids to eat food? It costs you, the taxpayer, 60 cents a year. Like,
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: why do you care
Nathan Brady: To
Mike Smith: about

00:56:25

Nathan Brady: feed
Mike Smith: that?
Nathan Brady: every kid
Mike Smith: Such
Nathan Brady: in,
Mike Smith: little money.
Nathan Brady: you know. Uh yeah, it's crazy and and it's true. And there are people that there were two arguments to that. I remember uh when when we were looking at uh like Tim Waltz's um food school programs, right?
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: It
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: was well I didn't get that was one argument.
Mike Smith: Sure.
Nathan Brady: And what about the rich kids? How come they're going to get that?
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah. And the answer is I don't care. I don't care at
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: all. If the
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: rich kids want to eat food and they don't want to pay for it, that's fine. I don't see
Nathan Brady: Fine.
Mike Smith: why that's a problem.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: Being
Nathan Brady: post.
Mike Smith: the Being of the opposite opinion seems like a real problem. Being like, I don't think the poor kids should get any food because they can't afford it.

00:57:05

Mike Smith: Is a real dick way to live your life.
Nathan Brady: It's a real dick way to live your life. It really is. And it's the same with the uh with the um college um you know
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: To uh the uh what
Nathan Brady: refund
Mike Smith: is it? Reverse.
Nathan Brady: the refunds on the rebates and the
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: you know the word. You know the word.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: You
Mike Smith: Reimbursement.
Nathan Brady: guys know
Mike Smith: reimbursement. There it was.
Nathan Brady: Trump
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: when Trump
Mike Smith: So,
Nathan Brady: became
Mike Smith: Biden
Nathan Brady: president
Mike Smith: Biden
Nathan Brady: he took
Mike Smith: tried to
Nathan Brady: all the
Mike Smith: pass
Nathan Brady: words.
Mike Smith: Yeah. He
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: tried to pass a thing to give people a little bit of uh their they tried to forgive student loans up to a certain point as I recall.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: And they're like, "But what about the rich kids?"

00:57:35

Mike Smith: They're like, "We don't give a s*** as long as everyone gets them. Why do I care if the rich kids get them?" Such a dumb position.
Nathan Brady: It's such a dumb position. Um
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: guys,
Mike Smith: the rich kids are breathing air. We gota We
Nathan Brady: how
Mike Smith: got to do something. We're gonna make air cost money now.
Nathan Brady: how do we quote unquote make America great if we're like, "Well, it can't be better for the next generation
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: than it was
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: for me." That makes no sense. That's a complete contradiction.
Mike Smith: Man, I'm starting to think that make America better, they're only talking about some of America.
Nathan Brady: I think they're talking about make America better by culling.
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: I think that's what they're what they're talking about.
Mike Smith: they're moving into ethnic cleansing territory. Is that where we're going?
Nathan Brady: I mean, that's that's what we're seeing, isn't it? I mean, we're we're we're removing people of color from the United States.

00:58:25

Nathan Brady: We're we're involved in ethnic cle cleansing in other parts of the world. I mean, it seems like that's just it. That's what we do. This is the United States, everybody. Welcome. This is our this is our claim to fame now. I mean, god damn. God damn.
Mike Smith: I I I want us to go out on an upnote. Can we
Nathan Brady: All
Mike Smith: go
Nathan Brady: right.
Mike Smith: out on
Nathan Brady: Give
Mike Smith: an
Nathan Brady: me
Mike Smith: upote?
Nathan Brady: something to go. What are
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: you giving
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: me?
Mike Smith: just
Nathan Brady: You send
Mike Smith: linked
Nathan Brady: me
Mike Smith: it
Nathan Brady: something.
Mike Smith: to you. It can't It's
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: breaking as of like three minutes ago.
Nathan Brady: Breaking as of three minutes ago. I don't I don't even know. I'm going to copy the link. I'm going to share it and then

00:58:53

Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: you uh tell
Mike Smith: And
Nathan Brady: me
Mike Smith: I'll
Nathan Brady: what
Mike Smith: tell
Nathan Brady: we're
Mike Smith: you what
Nathan Brady: looking
Mike Smith: it
Nathan Brady: at.
Mike Smith: is.
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: What are we looking at?
Mike Smith: This this is
Nathan Brady: Okay. What are we looking at? Give me some good news. Okay. We're looking at Makmoud Khalil. So, give
Mike Smith: federal
Nathan Brady: me some good
Mike Smith: judge
Nathan Brady: news.
Mike Smith: keeps Mamu Khalil's habius case in New Jersey, denying the Department
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: of Justice's motion to dismiss it. So,
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: this lends itself to the notion that this case will indeed uh occur in New Jersey as compared to like I forget where they're trying to do it in Florida or something or Texas or Louisiana, I don't remember. Um, and so this is this is a win for him because he should be able to have a better legal defense in the state of New Jersey as compared to where they were holding him.

00:59:35

Mike Smith: This is breaking, like I said, and actually a piece of good news. Bet you didn't even see that coming.
Nathan Brady: I didn't see it coming and I really appreciate you giving this to us. I will tell you for me the only good right news for Mahmood Khalil would be that he is back home. He is out of
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: this Louisiana detention center. He
Mike Smith: Louisiana.
Nathan Brady: does not belong there. Um this is this is terrible. Um so yes, this is a little bit of good news. Um do we know when the next anything um for him is? I mean I just
Mike Smith: So, at this at this point, again, I'm not a lawyer. I just have been following the court examiner documents as they go up.
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: And so my my expectation is that there will be a
Nathan Brady: Here
Mike Smith: new um there will be new filings from the DOJ as well as from Khalil's um lawyer as to the next step.

01:00:31

Mike Smith: So I I'm sure that there's an order at the bottom here that says like you know what the next steps are like they must
Nathan Brady: we go.
Mike Smith: reply before blah blah blah.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, the that request. Okay, so let's see. Um the petitioner has sought permission to amend the petition um to add appropriate respondents now that dust is settled and is clear blah blah blah. that request is hereby granted and the petition may be amended to add additional respondents by April 3rd. Okay, that wasn't exactly what I was looking for
Mike Smith: So,
Nathan Brady: because
Mike Smith: they're
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: going
Nathan Brady: don't
Mike Smith: to have
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: to
Nathan Brady: don't
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: know what any
Mike Smith: but
Nathan Brady: of
Mike Smith: that's
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: what
Nathan Brady: meant.
Mike Smith: it says. They'll have to file an amended uh appeal for what they want to do next.
Nathan Brady: Okay, I I you know, my dream here is that Khalil uh is released and then he sues the s*** out of this government.

01:01:18

Nathan Brady: I mean, sue the ever loving s*** out of them and win because this is unbelievable. Uh, the
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: fact that he is still there. Um, the fact that uh uh um Gab Gabrielle is it uh is is in uh El Salvador. Um the the Turkish student that was um taken off the streets in Tus. all the other um you know cases that we don't know about. Uh th this has to end and I hope
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: that I hope that Mahmood's case I hope it's expedited. I hope it's resolved quickly and I hope
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: it it stops the government from trying to from from
Mike Smith: I I
Nathan Brady: continuing
Mike Smith: hope that
Nathan Brady: this.
Mike Smith: Yeah. Because because they're doing they're they're doing um you know extrajudicial you know arrests
Nathan Brady: They're kidnapping
Mike Smith: and deportations.
Nathan Brady: people. They're
Mike Smith: They're
Nathan Brady: kidnapping
Mike Smith: kidnapping
Nathan Brady: people.
Mike Smith: people. They're
Nathan Brady: They

01:02:17

Mike Smith: not being able to see lawyer. They're not able to have their case head in front of a judge. And you need to win some of these for them to actually start obeying the law again because otherwise they just they run rant.
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: Um,
Nathan Brady: mean ju you you need give them all due process and
Mike Smith: yeah.
Nathan Brady: prove that they are gang
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: members.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Prove it.
Mike Smith: No, I mean it's or or you know, if if you're going to detain them and maybe you need to prove to have them deported, at the very least show, you know, probable cause like in if this were a case uh that wasn't about people, it was about property, like this would already have been thrown out. They'd be like, "You
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: haven't shown us anything. give
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: him back his stuff
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: like that.
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: It
Nathan Brady: mean
Mike Smith: would be over.

01:03:03

Nathan Brady: I I
Mike Smith: Uh
Nathan Brady: will say
Mike Smith: I'll just
Nathan Brady: uh Go
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: ahead.
Mike Smith: go ahead. Oh,
Nathan Brady: Oh, you
Mike Smith: I'll say that the at the very end of this document, it says something interesting. It says in the ordinary course, this court's decision today would likely be unappealable. Unappealable. Uh but there may be reasons for allowing an interloc uh interlocutory appeal here under sections and stuff. the court will solicit the party's views on this question. So, what he's saying is like that's very pointed in being like normally you're not allowed to appeal this. It's going to stay in New Jersey and and and the rules that have been here for hundreds of years. So, this will not be appealed. And they're like, however, given that you are the government, I am willing to hear some reasons why we might want to appeal this and then we'll
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: see.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. I I will say, you know, between this and the quote unquote ICE administration error uh that

01:04:03

Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: sent that Marilyn farther to El Salvador, I you know, if if you're a officer of the law or an, you know, an ICE officer, can't be feeling very safe for you right now um to to
Mike Smith: Click.
Nathan Brady: go to to show yourselves. And it's it's no wonder why you pathetic losers are out on the streets in masks and hiding your badges and in unmarked
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: vehicles. Um because you know what you're doing is wrong. You
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: know what you're doing is wrong. Uh
Mike Smith: Well, and
Nathan Brady: so
Mike Smith: they're treating it they're treating it like like it's a I think that these are cowboys, right? These are like the guys who really don't have a lot to do because it turns out that if you're an ICE administrator, most of your job is just collecting people at the border who are seeking asylum and then doing paperwork and so they want to feel like dirty hairy.
Nathan Brady: do
Mike Smith: They
Nathan Brady: that.

01:04:59

Mike Smith: want to have like an excitement
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: and and then yeah, so they they want to, you know, Jason Bourne all this stuff. So they like to have the oh I'm undercover. I'm gonna got to go arrest
Nathan Brady: Or
Mike Smith: this dangerous criminal. You're like this is a grad student. What the
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: f*** are you talking
Nathan Brady: or
Mike Smith: about?
Nathan Brady: they're or or they're super thrilled that they're removing colored people uh from the United States.
Mike Smith: Well, I hope it's not that. That would
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: that would
Nathan Brady: I'm
Mike Smith: make
Nathan Brady: sure
Mike Smith: me pretty
Nathan Brady: I'm
Mike Smith: sad.
Nathan Brady: sure there is that, too. I'd like to see Have any ICE agents resigned? Has any I'd love to see that. I'd love to see
Mike Smith: Yeah. I
Nathan Brady: people
Mike Smith: don't know.
Nathan Brady: in law enforcement.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: At a protest.

01:05:32

Nathan Brady: yeah, so I mean, we're seeing it with some of the some some big lawyers. Um but I I don't Yeah, I'm not looking for it, but I sure would like to hear about that. um in law enforcement. But anyway, that was a bit of good news. Corey Booker, as I as I'm hearing it, is going on his 23rd,
Mike Smith: He's
Nathan Brady: I think, hour.
Mike Smith: still going.
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: I've
Nathan Brady: so,
Mike Smith: got him
Nathan Brady: he's
Mike Smith: up.
Nathan Brady: still going. He's got a couple hours to go to break the record. But I'd also want to know what comes next uh for the Democratic Party. So,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: we'll keep an eye on that. We have election results coming up, so we'll be posting about that on the Blue Sky. Um and I think that is it for today. Okay, Mike, you have anything else you want to leave us with?
