Nathan Brady: it's
Mike Smith: the same s*** on a different day.
Nathan Brady: it's
Mike Smith: By the way, we we just got murked on YouTube. We used too many swears in the first 20 seconds. It's all over.
Nathan Brady: over. Well, whatever. Um it's a it's a different kind of day um in that it's just getting worse and worse and worse.

00:00:53

Nathan Brady: And today is one of those days. um as the House gets closer to um to approving Trump's big stupid ugly bill. Um
Mike Smith: It's big and beautiful just like me.
Nathan Brady: I can't tell if you're if you're I can't tell. And
Mike Smith: No
Nathan Brady: what
Mike Smith: one
Nathan Brady: what
Mike Smith: can tell. No,

Nathan Brady: you you tell me what we're doing. I'm I'm ser I'm
Mike Smith: Let's
Nathan Brady: not in
Mike Smith: Let's
Nathan Brady: the mood
Mike Smith: catch
Nathan Brady: for
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: this.
Mike Smith: people up. Let's talk about the big beautiful bill for a second. Okay.
Nathan Brady: All right.
Mike Smith: So,
Nathan Brady: All right.
Mike Smith: it passed uh the Senate through the reconciliation process. After a couple of revisions, they had to rewrite some ridiculous uh things that were going to be laws and make them somehow about budget.

00:01:42

Mike Smith: Um we talked about that a little bit in the last episode where they were just going to be like the maximum anyone can spend on this thing is zero dollars, effectively killing uh you know, a branch that of the government. But it it passed uh Senate reconciliation on a vote of 5150. It did require JD Vance, president, the vice president to come down and cast the tiebreaking vote as president of the Senate. Lisa Marowski, I'm going to I'm going to let you you vent a little bit, but I'm going to say she was the last hold out vote on the right as the 50th vote and basically said that the bill was terrible and she hopes that the House rewrites it, but she passed it anyway because she's a coward.
Nathan Brady: But she she passed it anyway because she's a coward. Let me ask you something. Why how how is it there were so there were three Republicans as it says here that that um voted against it. Rand Paul we knew would Tom Tillis and Susan Collins.

00:02:33

Nathan Brady: It
Mike Smith: Yep.
Nathan Brady: seems to me like whenever there um is a terrible bill that
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: there are these these at least two senators, Susan Collins and Mowski, that are always the like, I'm going to I'm not going to vote for this and then
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: they draw they draw straws and it's like, okay, you vote no and I have to vote yes so that we make sure it's passed and you you have to write the apology letter and next time I'll do it. It's a because no matter what it's it's all it's always going to pass. There was never
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: going to be a chance that this didn't you know that this wasn't uh you know 4951 you know against right
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: how does
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: that happen?
Mike Smith: Well, they're all grifters. You have to
Nathan Brady: They're
Mike Smith: remember
Nathan Brady: all
Mike Smith: that
Nathan Brady: grifters,
Mike Smith: that
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: It's money
Mike Smith: the

00:03:23

Nathan Brady: behind
Mike Smith: right is
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: all
Nathan Brady: scenes.
Mike Smith: grifters. So,
Nathan Brady: I'm
Mike Smith: like you
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: said, the the fix was in. They were going to vote for the bill. It didn't matter what it said. They have to appease their god king. And if they didn't
Nathan Brady: right
Mike Smith: pass the bill and they and crucially, if they didn't pass the bill with enough time for it to pass the house and get signed by the president before the 4th of July, the daddy was going to have a problem and he was going to start saying, you know, he was going to deport Lisa Marowski. I I don't know what his plan was, but it was going to be something like that.
Nathan Brady: listen. Um, I I think it was clear that she was bribed in some some form or another.
Mike Smith: She got stuff. I mean, that that's the way that these uh these reconciliation bills rarely any bill is is going to get hamstrung by people who want to do writers and hang on and and make it somehow, you know, palatable to their constituency.

00:04:12

Mike Smith: So, obviously, Rand Paul can't vote for this bill. Rand Paul has been shouting since his dad was shouting about budgets having a meeting and like the the the debt ceiling being ridiculous and all these other things and
Nathan Brady: Yeah,
Mike Smith: this bill just explodes the debt over time and it raises spending and it cuts taxes to the wealthy while rais you know
Nathan Brady: for
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: record.
Mike Smith: he can't he can't vote for that. That's just completely it's the antithesis of his you know political agenda. And
Nathan Brady: Okay,
Mike Smith: so he has to
Nathan Brady: for
Mike Smith: be the
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: guy that goes like, "I can't vote for this. Lisa, you gotta vote for this one."
Nathan Brady: for Yeah. For the record, Ran Paul is a disgusting piece of s***. So, let's not, you know, Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He did the quote unquote right thing here. But just like Susan Collins did, it didn't matter because of the four that didn't vote, one of them had to vote for it and they were going to draw straws like I said.

00:05:04

Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: And
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: it
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: and if you go back and look, uh yeah, uh Marowski got what did she get? something like she got something for Alaskan whaling captains, right? Like she she she did
Mike Smith: Is that
Nathan Brady: she
Mike Smith: true?
Nathan Brady: got like she No, she did. Uh uh let me see if I can find it. Let me
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: let
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: me see.
Mike Smith: thought it was something about like the the SNAP benefits cut off like being raised just high enough that it basically wouldn't impact Alaskans, but
Nathan Brady: I mean, uh stuff
Mike Smith: who
Nathan Brady: like
Mike Smith: knows,
Nathan Brady: that, too.
Mike Smith: right? It's
Nathan Brady: Oh,
Mike Smith: like,
Nathan Brady: yeah. It's It's New York Times.
Mike Smith: oh, you got
Nathan Brady: Uh
Mike Smith: New York Times.
Nathan Brady: wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Mike Smith: You
Nathan Brady: hold on,

00:05:35

Mike Smith: could find
Nathan Brady: hold
Mike Smith: it,
Nathan Brady: on.
Mike Smith: I'm sure.
Nathan Brady: Uh she Yeah, here it is. Uh, a specific provision was added allowing Alaskan whaling captains to claim larger deductions up to 50,000 for their expenses, a benefit unique to Alaska's indigenous communities engaged in traditional whaling.
Mike Smith: What
Nathan Brady: What
Mike Smith: are we
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: doing?
Nathan Brady: f***
Mike Smith: What
Nathan Brady: are
Mike Smith: are we
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: f******
Nathan Brady: talking
Mike Smith: doing here?
Nathan Brady: about? What is happening? So, an estimated 51,000 people annually are going to die because of this bill. Okay. But
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: Marcowski got deductions for Alaskan whaling captains. f*** off. I I can't deal with this. I
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: can't deal
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: with this.
Mike Smith: you can deal with it. Uh and and I think that it's interesting. I mean, you know what the problem is? is that for the last how many years we've been begging for there to be consequences and it seems like every time we we get on that you know that that bandwagon the consequences never come.

00:06:45

Mike Smith: There are threats but they never come. But the only things that actually have impacted any of these ghouls on the right is is consequences like political consequences. a lot of their constituents don't don't listen. They don't pay attention to the news. But a lot of their constituents get federal funding and if they're trying
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: they're going to be cutting all of that and uh and and that will have political consequences. I think you're going to find a lot of people uh in the coming years who have voted for Republicans who are going to find themselves worse off because of that vote, specifically
Nathan Brady: But but it's
Mike Smith: from provisions
Nathan Brady: but
Mike Smith: in this big beautiful bill.
Nathan Brady: not just this. I mean that's been going on for decades. It's been going on for decades with these people. They are they are voting for uh or against their best interests and then when the time comes, you know, their their Republican president is out of office in four years and they go, "Ah, I can't believe Obama did this to me."

00:07:46

Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: You know, um and and they fall f****** fall for it every goddamn single time. So, I listen, let's take a step back and talk
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: about why this bill is so terrible. Okay, we're we're
Mike Smith: Do
Nathan Brady: ranting
Mike Smith: it.
Nathan Brady: and we're raving about it.
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: what I
Nathan Brady: had
Mike Smith: like to
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: do.
Nathan Brady: was having a discussion last night with a family member of mine who I actually I I love very much, but she is unfortunately extremely misinformed on this topic. And one of the things that that she keeps going back to, which is what I think the conservative media has hammered into um the average American conservative voter, is that this bill primarily takes money away from um workingclass leeches. basically people who are um people who are uh leeching off the system, right? They're on Medicaid, they're getting they're getting food assistance through SNAP, they're they're doing all of these things while they're just 29year-olds sitting on the couch playing video games when in fact that is that is not even close to the case.

00:08:57

Nathan Brady: So her argument is, listen, all this is really doing is cutting that money away from those people and and um reducing the deficit and so that we're not paying for I'm I'm not using my tax dollars to pay for this wasteful spending. So the premise of the argument is completely wrong because
Mike Smith: Yeah. I I was going to say, can we talk for just a quick second about hearkening back to Biden era and his uh wanting to uh basically do away with uh many school debts, you know, tuition debts. and he was like, "We're just going to we're just going to do away with it." And I remember people on the right being like, "But that means that the rich people are going to get that, too." And we're like, "Sure, who cares? Why do you care about that? That's a weird thing to be upset about." And it's the same argument here where you're like, "But okay, hold on, though. What about those people who are just sitting on the couch?

00:09:56

Mike Smith: Shouldn't they have medical insurance? Like, why do
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: we care?"
Nathan Brady: okay.
Mike Smith: But, but
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: fine. Fine.
Nathan Brady: The the the thing is is it's such a small small small small percentage of fraudsters. Kind of like all that social security fraud that we arrested all of those people for. Let me check my notes. Zero people were arrested for. Sorry. Sorry. My fault. Here's the reality of it, right? A hundred people are in the room. Okay. And
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: they all need health insurance. Okay.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: And I give it all. I give it to them. And one person I find out um didn't actually need it. So I say, "f*** it. None of you are getting it." And then 30 of them die. That's this literally what is happening here. And then it's in the it's in the guise of we're we're cutting we're this is a big beautiful bill that's cutting wasteful funding.

00:10:51

Nathan Brady: It adds $3.3 trillion dollars to the deficit over the next 10 years because the majority of these cuts are being offset by tax cuts for the wealthy. Oh my god. Where have we f****** seen this before? It's
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: it's I mean, come on, man. It It's households earning over $217,000 are going to get an average tax cut of $12,500. the top 1% of earners are going to get the biggest t tax cuts while the bottom 20% of earners are going to lose money. And those 20% of the people are the ones like uh the person that I'm talking about who are celebrating this bill because they literally don't understand what's in it and
Mike Smith: Well,
Nathan Brady: they
Mike Smith: that's
Nathan Brady: were
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: they
Mike Smith: problem.
Nathan Brady: were duped into believing
Mike Smith: I I think so. I think that we have I mean, we've seen this a lot. Obviously, what you're talking about just reminds me so much of the the quote welfare queens thing that Reagan did

00:11:53

Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: when he was running where he's basically trying to do what you're saying. you know, we need to cut all of these social spending things because of that one guy in the room when there's 99 people who need it
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: and are following the rules or whatever, right? I mean, but but on the flip side of that, you have that argument of like we need to take it away from everybody because that one guy's cheating. And then I want to be like, well, can we take away all the guns because of the one guy who shoots everybody in a school? Can
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: we do that? Oh, no. We can't do that. It's
Nathan Brady: Literally,
Mike Smith: Oh, interesting.
Nathan Brady: literally as the argument continued, she said, um, I, you know, she went on to about immigrants saying, "It's not fair to my in-laws who did it the right way." And I'm like, "Oh, here we go." So nothing can ever improve. It's the same argument we saw about about um uh student loans, right?

00:12:46

Nathan Brady: It's it's
Mike Smith: Raph.
Nathan Brady: nothing can ever improve unless it happened to you first, right?
Mike Smith: Yes.
Nathan Brady: Like
Mike Smith: Very
Nathan Brady: so
Mike Smith: very
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: nimi
Nathan Brady: paid my
Mike Smith: approach
Nathan Brady: way
Mike Smith: of everything. Yeah. uh
Nathan Brady: I paid my way through highinterest federal student loans, which means that my son has to too.
Mike Smith: has to
Nathan Brady: He has to
Mike Smith: can't
Nathan Brady: like
Mike Smith: improve.
Nathan Brady: it
Mike Smith: Cannot
Nathan Brady: can't be
Mike Smith: improve.
Nathan Brady: better. Why aren't we like still using horse and buggy if things can't improve? Like my grandfather uh you know had to my great-grandfather had to ride a horse and buggy to work every day, right? Like
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: how come I get to drive a you know a vehicle that goes 80 miles an hour? These people don't get it. They just
Mike Smith: No,
Nathan Brady: don't get
Mike Smith: they
Nathan Brady: it.

00:13:24

Nathan Brady: And
Mike Smith: don't.
Nathan Brady: it's selfish. um because the even their reasoning behind why this bill is okay. Even if all of the things about it were true, it it cuts, you know, uh people that don't necessarily need uh Medicaid and healthcare or whatever, it's still their reasoning is still flawed. Okay. So when the when the reality is none of it is actually true
Mike Smith: Yeah. The the thing that's that I find funny is that so few people like actually are going to be impacted in in a meaningful way. Let's just talk about like Medicaid as an example, right? Because a lot of people in California don't qualify for Medicaid just sort of holistically, but there's a there's a medical version of that in California that a lot
Nathan Brady: All
Mike Smith: of
Nathan Brady: right.
Mike Smith: people use instead. And so like they're not going to see that much of a change there. You're going to see it in the poorer states. You're going to see it in like Mississippi and Alabama and places like that where people are really impacted by these changes.

00:14:25

Mike Smith: You know what I mean? But
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: those places are so deeply red that I wouldn't expect them to like have a lasting effect where it changes the political landscape of that state. Mississippi is always going to be red. There's just there's no way it can't be. But there's no political consequences outside of electing a different red politician, right? So, does that change the political discourse of those states and those those counties, those those representative districts in a way where the people who voted for this bill might be impacted. They might be changed out for a different card. brings us to an I mean it's it's a thought experiment obviously, but it brings us to another point uh around the idea of of Elon, I'm sure you saw, is coming out and saying because this is such a spending bill and they brought him in to quote cut fat. You know, he's so furious about this now that he's threatening to start a political party where he's going to primary against everybody who voted for it.

00:15:25

Mike Smith: And good for you, Ela. That's a worthwhile use of your billions and billions of dollars.
Nathan Brady: He wants to start the America Party or whatever the hell. I mean,
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: it's it's it's
Mike Smith: the X party.
Nathan Brady: useless
Mike Smith: Stupid naming.
Nathan Brady: and and and garbage, whatever. But yeah, fine. Primary, the Republicans, you guys spend all your money fighting each other. Uh, I'm totally happy with that. Um, I I I don't know what else to say. This bill is it's disgusting. It's it's it's going to be one of the worst things to ever happen to this country. It's going to eliminate jobs. Um, it's going it's going to cause deaths. It's going to destroy families. I It's It's going to increase the wealth gap. It's the it's going to be one of the largest transfers of wealth from the working class to the 1% that we've seen. Uh I mean I I just don't know what else to say.

00:16:20

Mike Smith: That sounds
Nathan Brady: And
Mike Smith: very familiar. Did Did any particular politician, maybe a senator, say something like that recently?
Nathan Brady: I mean I don't know. It's that it's that it's that guy that it's that socialist communist guy. Probably
Mike Smith: that socialist, the crazy socialist
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: communist.
Nathan Brady: socialist communist Marxist. I don't know.
Mike Smith: Okay,
Nathan Brady: Um,
Mike Smith: so this being a political podcast, I have to ask,
Nathan Brady: yeah. Okay.
Mike Smith: what do the Democrats do in response? They can't they can't stop this bill. There's there's no way it's going to get enacted. It's going to get signed. It's going to have some features in it that are not pleasant to anyone. Do the Democrats, do they need to run on reversing it or do they need to run on something better? Oh
Nathan Brady: f***.
Mike Smith: god, I'm killing him today, folks. He's going to die.
Nathan Brady: I'm dying. I'm dying.

00:17:07

Nathan Brady: I'm dying. It's almost like, and you know, I might catch some flack for this, but it's almost like the Democrats want this because the the the this has been the playbook for the last, you know, since since I've been paying attention. So
Mike Smith: Red.
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: know almost 25 years right where the something terrible happens
Mike Smith: Yes.
Nathan Brady: everything's everything gets shifted to the right to this authoritarian police state wealthy uh powerful whatever uh it gets shifted to the right and then the Democrats they uh they they run on it right they
Mike Smith: Yes.
Nathan Brady: like you said They
Mike Smith: So,
Nathan Brady: fill
Mike Smith: so
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: for
Nathan Brady: coffers
Mike Smith: instance, Bush
Nathan Brady: because of
Mike Smith: Bush
Nathan Brady: it.
Mike Smith: transitioning to Obama,
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: case in point, it was, you know,
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: post 911,
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: obviously terrible
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: eight years under Bush. Everything gets worse.

00:18:06

Mike Smith: And then Obama with a surge in the Senate and the House, I'll point out as well, huge
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: blue wave comes
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: in there with with change as his complete slogan. we need to
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: change from these terrible years, these terrible policies and and wins in landslide basically. Not only that, but but destroyed Hillary Clinton in the primaries
Nathan Brady: And
Mike Smith: out
Nathan Brady: can I
Mike Smith: of
Nathan Brady: just
Mike Smith: nowhere.
Nathan Brady: and I want to remind people uh okay I'm not going to sit here and bash your favorite Democrats, okay? I'm not going to come in here
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: and
Mike Smith: will I'm going to do
Nathan Brady: ra
Mike Smith: that.
Nathan Brady: Obama and kill Hillary and whatever, but Obama filled his coffers on hope and change in 2008. Look it up. He he explicitly promised to sign the Freedom of Choice Act. He promised to codify Roie Wade. Okay? He had a blue he had blue everything.

00:18:59

Nathan Brady: And guess what? We could only focus on one thing at a time. We had to pass Obamacare. We couldn't do all those other things. And here we are. Okay.
Mike Smith: So I think that it's interesting because There there is a very similar although less impactful uh Obama had from his bully pullpit and the Senate and the House. Like he had all the cards as as the big orange idiot likes to say. And you're right, from the bully pullpit he wanted to focus his attention on the ACA. And they passed the most spineless version of the ACA that they could because that's how many Republicans they could get on board with that. I agree. But they did something now. I agree they should do more. I agree. How do you I don't know. I don't know anything about the process for cottifying Roie Wade like that and like just have a law that says abortion is is legal in these United States. Like that's the law and then see who signs on to it.

00:19:59

Mike Smith: Like what what do you do?
Nathan Brady: you you they they couldn't even bring it up to a vote. But that's that's that's my point. It is it was spineless, feckless actions by
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: the Democrats. show the people who who would vote against this. And to you know, you said
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: you just said something about the the spineless version of the of the ACA.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Uh
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: they did do that, but as I just want to remind you, they passed it when everything was blue. Not a single Republican voted for it. So they
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: didn't need to make the most spineless version of the ACA.
Mike Smith: Right. Well, they had some blue dogs obviously like he's he's gone now, but the the Senator Mansion from Virginia, I want to say
Nathan Brady: Yeah, 34 Democrats voted against it in uh 2010. So, it still
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: passed the House 20 219 to 212
Mike Smith: Right.

00:20:49

Nathan Brady: and and and 60-39 in the Senate. So, they could have done more. It could have gone it could have gone further. But the the fact that four months after Obama took office, he said, "Um, Roie Wade isn't my highest legislative priority. All the things I campaigned on are not my highest legislative priority." This is all I'm circling back to um what do the Democrats need to do about this? They're going to do the thing that they always do. They're going to be loud. They're going to to complain. They're going to tell people the Republicans are taking away your Medicaid and your Medicare. And if we get the wrong people, if we vote for the wrong Democrats in Congress and we take
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: back the House and we take back the Senate, nothing is going to change. And so
Mike Smith: What? What a campaign strategy
Nathan Brady: it's it's it that's literally what it is. And they're ah we can't. Ah, we play by the rules.

00:21:46

Nathan Brady: Ah, we do this. While they're getting their their uh while their their big donors are happy. So that's why
Mike Smith: while
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: they
Nathan Brady: got to
Mike Smith: sell
Nathan Brady: vote
Mike Smith: their
Nathan Brady: for
Mike Smith: books.
Nathan Brady: candidates like Yeah. Yeah. That's why you got to vote for the Zorons and the Cats
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: and and
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: people like that who are coming in who are who are fired up and who nothing else in their minds. They're not beholden to the big donors. They got nothing else in their minds other than fighting for the working class. Period. And nothing is going to sway them from that. And that's the kind of Democrats that we need to see because if we keep voting for these same, you know, Nancy Pelosi Democrats, I don't care what the I don't care what the Democratic strategy is. It doesn't matter because nothing is going to change. So, what do the Democrats need to do?

00:22:31

Nathan Brady: They need to all resign. That's what they need to do. Every
Mike Smith: Well,
Nathan Brady: Democrat
Mike Smith: they need some
Nathan Brady: that's currently
Mike Smith: they
Nathan Brady: there
Mike Smith: need some actual leadership, right? I mean, you know what we need to do? I want to be honest here. I want to I want to just lay it out in no uncertain terms. Let's pick one thing to talk about. Let's say we want to codify Roie Wed. The avenue that I see with the least resistance to it is to win the House, elect a speaker who aligns with that that goal in mind. So, they're going to bring it to vote and they're and and they're going to whip those votes until they've got, you know, the majority. Am I wrong or am I right
Nathan Brady: I don't know. I think we just do it as an executive order, right? Can't
Mike Smith: with this
Nathan Brady: Aren't
Mike Smith: SCOTS?
Nathan Brady: we just ruling

00:23:15

Mike Smith: You think you can you think you can pass an executive order?
Nathan Brady: Aren't we just ruling by executive order right now?
Mike Smith: We are sort of ruling by fiat via executive order. Yes. But but I think that you know what I want to see in and I guess this is in 26, right? Would be the midterm elections blue wave. Retake the House, retake the Senate, less likely to retake the Senate, but retake the House anyway. and you elect a speaker who's going to move on that motion first. We're going to write a bill that codifies Roie Wade and we're going to vote on it and you're going to whip the vote until you have the votes to send it to the Senate.
Nathan Brady: And they're going to say th this was our legislative priority. we had to give up other things like your livelihood, your health care, you know, your
Mike Smith: It's
Nathan Brady: whatever
Mike Smith: already done.
Nathan Brady: because
Mike Smith: They're
Nathan Brady: that's
Mike Smith: done
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: with

00:24:04

Nathan Brady: only
Mike Smith: that.
Nathan Brady: way.
Mike Smith: They're moving on to other stuff.
Nathan Brady: It's just this this is the way it is, man. And I'm just tired of it. I mean, they're they're bartering with our literal lives, okay? And you and I happen to be lucky enough to be in a position where we can hop on the internet and talk about this and
Mike Smith: for
Nathan Brady: there
Mike Smith: now.
Nathan Brady: are people just for now and there are people just just just right below our pay grade that are are not even going to be able to survive this. Okay? I mean I
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: you know to to be honest I there are some weeks I got to go put my grocery bills on the credit card, right? and wonder,
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: you know, what happens if I lose my job tomorrow, you
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: know?
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um, and I to me the people who see this kind of bill and are rah rah are either um just hateful and excited that they know that this will hurt the other side, so they don't care if it hurts them or they have no ability to empathize with

00:25:09

Mike Smith: Sure.
Nathan Brady: people who who are not in Um,
Mike Smith: Well, I I'll point I I I do want to point this out because this is an important I I think the point you're making is is is important. I think that there will be people who will rah rah rah not understand that the guns actually pointed at them. But on the other hand, there is a huge swath of the electorate who are aware of the bill and the contents therein. I want to talk about just a few polls that we've got over the moment. So
Nathan Brady: okay.
Mike Smith: there's a Fox
Nathan Brady: All right.
Mike Smith: News poll out this week. Only 38% of registered voters support the one big beautiful bill. 59%
Nathan Brady: Mhm.
Mike Smith: oppose it. This is Fox News and this
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: is registered voters. So already, you know, they're they're in a hole there. You look at other ones, Quinnipiac, KFF, I mean, 27% of registered voters oppose it, 53% oppose it.

00:26:01

Mike Smith: According to Quinnipiac, uh the KFF bill has 35 of adults in favor of it. They have the Pew Research Center saying 29% of people favor the bill. You look up and down these things and and I'll point out as you get bluer and bluer uh in sway like the Washington Post and whatnot, you get 23%, you get 21% and the numbers just keep plummeting. This is not a popular bill. This is deeply unpopular. and the ramifications of this bill, sorry, the execut the execution of this bill is going to so drastically hurt people that that number is only going to shrink. The the approval of that of the bill is going to continue to decline and it is something that Democrats will have an option to, you know, campaign on. They're going to be like the big beautiful because it has a name. They're going to be like the big beautiful bill screwed you. The Republicans screwed you. I mean, just do the Sanders hands
Nathan Brady: three
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: I mean three or four weeks ago we we were showing videos on the pod of um town halls, Republican town halls where where

00:27:05

Mike Smith: where they're
Nathan Brady: people
Mike Smith: calling them crisis actors. Like,
Nathan Brady: And
Mike Smith: you're not
Nathan Brady: yeah,
Mike Smith: a real person. You're You're not real.
Nathan Brady: I mean, literal Republicans in red states are like, "You cut my Medicaid, I'm going to cut you basically." And they promise, "This isn't going to cut Medicaid. This isn't going to cut Medicare. This isn't going to make it harder. This isn't whatever." I mean, time after time, we see any time the government is involved in, okay, with just a couple more forms you got to fill out before you can get this thing, you're never
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: gonna get the thing.
Mike Smith: You're never
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: going to get this. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um, and and to the to the point that this bill has a name, you're right. Democrats have done something I want to share with you. I don't know if you've seen this
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: yet.
Mike Smith: Yeah.

00:27:43

Mike Smith: Let's see it.
Nathan Brady: Democrats have actually done something very meaningful here. Chuck Schumer shared a video of him changing the name of the bill to like the one big ugly bill. So Chuck Schumer, he just wrote he drew a line from it. And so, and so here we go.
Mike Smith: We
Nathan Brady: Here
Mike Smith: got
Nathan Brady: are
Mike Smith: to
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: talk.
Nathan Brady: top comments. Here are the top comments. Way to do the least. This is embarrassing.
Mike Smith: Good.
Nathan Brady: Cool. All caps. Retire. Boy, you really showed them, Chuck. Oh, yeah. That will really help all of us as our insurance premiums go up. So, at least the Democrats are way to go, Democrats. This is
Mike Smith: Man,
Nathan Brady: great.
Mike Smith: I I gotta say Chuck Schumer is so far away from the pulse of your average voter in this especially for the Democrats in this day and age. He is truly an embarrassment and he needs he needs to either hand the reigns off to somebody else.

00:28:40

Mike Smith: I know he's he's the what do they call it? the uh senior uh Democrat in in the Senate, but I mean, he needs to let somebody else lead. He's just he's not effective. He's not effectual to the voter base. And he says this s***, and I'm just like, if you weren't if you weren't such an old sad man, this would be cringe. Like, this is like grandpa go to bed stuff.
Nathan Brady: This
Mike Smith: This is
Nathan Brady: is
Mike Smith: not
Nathan Brady: grandpa
Mike Smith: working.
Nathan Brady: go to bed stuff. Chuck Schumer retire. Hakee Jeff retire.
Mike Smith: Now,
Nathan Brady: Nancy
Mike Smith: I'll point
Nathan Brady: Pelosi
Mike Smith: out,
Nathan Brady: retire.
Mike Smith: do you know who was on uh the House floor and spitting fire just today? I'm going to say it. It's AOC. Because
Nathan Brady: Oh.
Mike Smith: she
Nathan Brady: Oh
Mike Smith: came
Nathan Brady: yeah.
Mike Smith: out and she says, "This bill is terrible for people who work for tips."

00:29:25

Mike Smith: And I'll tell you why. Because I'm the only one in this f****** room who ever worked for tips. And here, you know, laid out all the the issues with it. And she's like, I end up paying more in taxes into this this big beautiful bill be as a tipped worker and I can't afford rent half the time. What are you doing? Why are you
Nathan Brady: Let's
Mike Smith: voting for this? And it's
Nathan Brady: let's let's
Mike Smith: just like, put her in a
Nathan Brady: share
Mike Smith: place
Nathan Brady: it.
Mike Smith: where she has a megaphone. Please, God, give her a megaphone.
Nathan Brady: Let's let's let's share uh exactly what you're talking about here.
Mike Smith: I'm ready.
Nathan Brady's Presentation: As one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam of that text. A little bit of the fine print there. The cap on that is $25,000. While you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the United States, while taking away their SNAP, while take taking away their Medicaid, while taking kicking them off of the ACA and their health care extensions.

00:30:25

Nathan Brady's Presentation: So if you're at home and you're living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it to you? Losing all your health care, not able to feed a feed your babies, not being able to put a diaper on their bottom in exchange for what? This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt. It militarizes our entire economy and it strips away health care and basic dignity of the American people for what? to give Elon Musk a tax break and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation. We cannot stand for it and we will not support it. You
Mike Smith: There's our
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: first uh lady president. I I think I mean
Nathan Brady: I mean ser seriously uh it I don't even know that needs to be the Democratic party that right
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: there. So
Mike Smith: No,
Nathan Brady: when
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: it
Nathan Brady: say

00:31:21

Mike Smith: speaks
Nathan Brady: what can the
Mike Smith: it.
Nathan Brady: Democratic party do that that
Mike Smith: Yeah. That
Nathan Brady: all
Mike Smith: right
Nathan Brady: of
Mike Smith: there.
Nathan Brady: them
Mike Smith: I mean,
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: and it again, it speaks to the constituency. It speaks to the common man. And it makes it plainly clear. Your taxes are going up. Elon's taxes are going down. Why are you voting for it? Very simple. Great messaging. And she does it with fire. I just I love it so much. Whereas you have Chuck Schumer being like, "And we're gonna call it the bad bill." Boo boo.
Nathan Brady: he turns and he goes fight and he start tries to start a chant And when you know I mean
Mike Smith: You know what? I think I think I'm sick of this s*** today, Nate. I think I think you're
Nathan Brady: am I
Mike Smith: infectious.
Nathan Brady: get
Mike Smith: I

00:31:58

Nathan Brady: am
Mike Smith: think you
Nathan Brady: I rubbing
Mike Smith: got me.
Nathan Brady: off on you? I'm sick and tired of this s***. Um
Mike Smith: Oh my god.
Nathan Brady: I don't know. I don't know. I I don't I don't want to talk about it anymore. I just want to
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: go take a nap.
Mike Smith: You want
Nathan Brady: Uh
Mike Smith: to go take a nap? I
Nathan Brady: no
Mike Smith: I have
Nathan Brady: no
Mike Smith: more stuff
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: to talk about before you go
Nathan Brady: we
Mike Smith: take
Nathan Brady: do
Mike Smith: your nap,
Nathan Brady: we do
Mike Smith: though.
Nathan Brady: have more stuff to talk about. I mean, I think one of the big things, if we only talk about two things today, I think this is another thing that I wanted to talk about because,
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: you know, the the the Democratic party um consists of weak, feckless, spineless uh losers who only care about capitulation because otherwise their donors will flee from them.

00:32:41

Nathan Brady: or they might get threatened with arrest and removal from the country. So, if the president is not targeting you specifically and saying, uh, you're a communist and he's going to arrest he's going to like go out there and arrest you himself, then you're not doing it right.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: Uh, what the hell's going on here? What what's happening? Is is that what he's saying to Zoran
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Money?
Mike Smith: Yeah. The the gist of it here is that and we talked about this on the last spot, but but Zarin Mandani won the New York primary for the Democratic party against uh Cuomo and in the runup to that, everybody on the right was very clear about the position. They're like, "If this socialist communist devil man who's evil wins, then he's going to burn New York to the ground." And and basically, he's just carrying on with that because Mandani won uh effortlessly
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: in in direct fashion. And now Trump is saying, you know, well, we can't have him there because he's not going to work with us because we got the screws to uh Eric Adams, obviously the fix is in there, and if we get somebody in here who's not going to work with us, then we won't have any help in New York, one of the biggest places where we're going to be doing our ICE raids and everything else.

00:33:58

Mike Smith: So, he threatens to arrest him. And I think it was uh Rep. Ogals went one step further and was calling
Nathan Brady: Andy
Mike Smith: for
Nathan Brady: Ogles.
Mike Smith: his denaturalization.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Right.
Mike Smith: Basically saying, "I'm gonna take an American citizen, legal American citizen, and make them not an American citizen so we can deport them." Which
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: should be terrifying to everybody. If we allow that to happen, then then all bets are off.
Nathan Brady: Uh for some historical context, dennaturalization has happened very very rarely in the US, mostly against Nazis or war criminals. And
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: now the Trump administration who promised, first of all, I'm only going to I'm only going to uh deport those illegal aliens and
Mike Smith: The
Nathan Brady: really
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: focus
Mike Smith: criminal
Nathan Brady: on those
Mike Smith: ones.
Nathan Brady: violent
Mike Smith: Only the
Nathan Brady: those
Mike Smith: criminals.
Nathan Brady: criminal those violent ones. is now is now seriously looking at dnaturalizing American citizens who did it the right way because he doesn't like their politics.

00:34:57

Mike Smith: Yeah. And in fact, in that call, as I as I recall, I think he was calling on Pam Bondi to open an investigation into him and the end result being like he wanted denaturalization and eventual deportation. And and I'm like, if that's not weaponization of the DOJ and calling for it very blatantly on social media, I don't know what is. That seems very straightforward to me that that's just you're weaponizing the DOJ to try and deport an American citizen who is your political rival.
Nathan Brady: Right. I mean, I I don't know what else.
Mike Smith: Lane as day.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, there's there's no way that this happens, he said a thousand times as the thing happens. Um, but yeah, no, I I I I don't particularly see this one happening, but I did. It's funny. I made a comment on the on the blue ski recently where I said, you know, if if this actually happens, the street, you know, cities will burn. And the the one comment on it was, why would the cities burn if they haven't already?

00:35:54

Nathan Brady: You know, and I was, god damn it, I want to take a nap. Ah, it
Mike Smith: And I I'll point out as well that that you know Scotas is not making this easier. They they recently ruled uh against um a a TTRO that was issued by a lower court basically stopping deportations that the the government was trying to just get out quickly and and and saying like, you know, they have to have due process. It's part of immigration law. You can't you have to do this. And the Scotas was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't stop the president from doing stuff. We're
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: gonna
Nathan Brady: I
Mike Smith: hold on
Nathan Brady: mean that
Mike Smith: that. We're
Nathan Brady: to
Mike Smith: going
Nathan Brady: be
Mike Smith: to consider
Nathan Brady: to
Mike Smith: this
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: in a couple of months, but for now they can keep doing that.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: No, no,
Nathan Brady: To
Mike Smith: no

00:36:39

Nathan Brady: to
Mike Smith: stay, no no no TTRO. Just
Nathan Brady: clarify
Mike Smith: they're
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: going
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: to do their job.
Nathan Brady: it
Mike Smith: And
Nathan Brady: was
Mike Smith: we'll
Nathan Brady: it
Mike Smith: talk
Nathan Brady: was
Mike Smith: about this later.
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: So
Nathan Brady: and
Mike Smith: what
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: that
Nathan Brady: natural
Mike Smith: means is
Nathan Brady: the birthright naturalization though just to be clear it wasn't necessarily about um like okay go ahead and deport. was whether that particular court had uh jurisdiction in
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: stopping the president from Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh still not a good precedent though.
Mike Smith: Not a good not Hold on. just I hate to belabor this, but it's not a good look for the Supreme Court of the United States to say, "Well, no, hold on. You didn't file this paperwork correctly." Okay, so they can keep deporting people however they even if they're American citizens.

00:37:23

Mike Smith: Just that's fine. You did it wrong. Like that's just stupid. That's a dumb argument. And them waiting until a class action shows up and and then ending up in Scotas, which is going to take a year and a half, is the dumbest thing that they could have ruled on. And I'll point out that it sets precedent to the idea that as long as the United States executive branch does it quickly enough before anyone can sue them and and halt the process with with a stay, uh then it's fine because we have to wait for this thing to happen in a year and a half from now. So if the president gets the gaul to if Pam Bondi arrests, you know, Zoran and and denaturalizes him, which I I'm not really sure that they can do directly, but if they claim they did it and then put him on a plane to El Salvador, you're just never going to see him again. And that's I mean that's that's how it's going to work. And Scotas is allowing this to go on because they're obviously culpable to the you know the fascists who are taking over.

00:38:21

Mike Smith: They like their plane trips. They liked their fishing trips and they love their, you know, Winnebos or whatever the stupid things are that that Clarence Thomas likes. I don't remember what it was called. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Uh
Mike Smith: The
Nathan Brady: just
Mike Smith: giant RVs.
Nathan Brady: I I think the next podcast is just going to be just scream therapy. Like 30 minutes of just screaming just top
Mike Smith: It's
Nathan Brady: of
Mike Smith: good.
Nathan Brady: my lungs.
Mike Smith: It's it's like uh yeah, it's like um you know follow along meditation, but it's just Nate like rage screaming and you get
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: to follow along and rage
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: scream at
Nathan Brady: It's
Mike Smith: home.
Nathan Brady: guided meditation, but it's it's just screaming.
Mike Smith: That's kind
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: of genius.
Nathan Brady: well, okay. What else we got? Do you Let's go over one more. What What Let's give us one more topic to go over before we wrap it up today.

00:39:06

Mike Smith: You Which one you want?
Nathan Brady: Uh I I don't know. Uh Trump lawsuit against Yeah, he lost a lawsuit against the pollster. You know, I I do want to just touch on that real quick because I just saw that Paramount this morning
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: um
Mike Smith: Settled.
Nathan Brady: settled for settled quote unquote
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: for 16 million because of the interview with uh Kla Harris.
Mike Smith: Yes.
Nathan Brady: It's just
Mike Smith: This
Nathan Brady: a bribe.
Mike Smith: is
Nathan Brady: It's a bribe for their to to get their merger to go through.
Mike Smith: I I
Nathan Brady: That's all
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: that
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: was.
Mike Smith: think Yeah. Yeah. It's a kickback, a bribe, whatever you want to call it. But I mean, so much of what we're seeing from the Trump administration is that crime is sort of legal when you have a certain amount of money. They're just like, "That's okay. It's fine." Like the cryptocurrencies, I think, are super interesting to me.

00:39:56

Mike Smith: Uh there is a YouTuber uh uh Coffeezilla, I think you all should check him out if you haven't. He covers a lot of this cryptocurrency scam that's going on right now. And it's it's deeply fascinating because it's so obviously like rugpulls and just just grifting and stealing and just outright theft of of people and their money. And I and it's fine. Like crypto's okay now. And this is this is just the way things are now. And the
Nathan Brady: It's
Mike Smith: president has a crypto and his wife has a crypto. And I I'm just like it feels like crime
Nathan Brady: look
Mike Smith: is is is what we should be doing.
Nathan Brady: look I think okay I need to I need to qualify uh I do think there needs to be a decentraliz ized payment system, a decentralized currency because I don't want the federal government to decide I'm a communist or whatever made up nonsense, freeze all of my funds, what
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: you know, all of that stuff, right?

00:40:58

Nathan Brady: There needs to be I care about privacy. I care about anonymity. I care about the government not being able to take away uh my my rights. um which basically all all of my rights lay lay in my in my monetary worth for the most part,
Mike Smith: in
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: this country.
Nathan Brady: You
Mike Smith: Yes.
Nathan Brady: know, in
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: this country, right? Um so I do think there needs to be that and and for a time I thought maybe Bitcoin was the answer. Maybe it still is. Maybe some form of Bitcoin is the answer, but there are 150,000 shitcoins out there that
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: have no purpose.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: literally no purpose other than to speculate on. And 99% of them are scams.
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: That's it.
Mike Smith: It's it's interesting, you know, and the more I look into that, I posted on Blue Scar earlier about um Tesla stock because they had their their quarterly earnings report come out and like deliveries and things and Tesla is just is bombing.

00:42:01

Mike Smith: They're not selling cars. They're not making
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: money. The EV credit's
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: going away. And Tesla's
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: stock is, you know, over $300 a share. And the Bloomberg report that I'd linked to basically said in one paragraph like, you want to own a sliver of this company and you think that it's valuation is this high, you need therapy.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: And and it's the same with these s*** coins, these meme coins where I'm just like, how on earth do you do you wake up in the morning thinking that you need to own this? You know, it's like the NFTs. Like, I never understood that. I never been like I needed to un I need to own this piece of something because I'm putting some intrinsic value in it or
Nathan Brady: It's it's
Mike Smith: exttrinsic value I guess.
Nathan Brady: it's uh Can I Can I play a verse of a song? I don't think we'll get Do we get DMC8 if I play a verse of a song on here?

00:42:51

Mike Smith: Not if nobody reports it.
Nathan Brady: All right, let's do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna play a verse of a song because it exa is exactly this. And let me let me see if I can find it real quick. This is going to take me 30 seconds.
Mike Smith: Here
Nathan Brady: Um uh let's see. And I I've been kind of obsessed with this guy, but I I love I love this first. So, I'm gonna I'm gonna play this. I'm gonna play this now. Uh
Mike Smith: he
Nathan Brady: and
Mike Smith: goes.
Nathan Brady: I think it's kind of like a reaction video. All right. Let me see if I can find it. Uh uh. Okay, here it is. Here it is. Here it is.
Mike Smith: I'm not hearing anything.
Nathan Brady: Oh, you're not hearing it. Oh, that's right. Hold on. I have to uh Yeah.
Mike Smith: I
Nathan Brady: Okay.
Mike Smith: was like,
Nathan Brady: I'm like, "This

00:43:42

Mike Smith: is it
Nathan Brady: is
Mike Smith: a
Nathan Brady: great."
Mike Smith: leadup?
Nathan Brady: And you're like, "I don't hear anything." All right. All right. Here it comes. I Because I got to share the I'll
Mike Smith: You
Nathan Brady: share the
Mike Smith: got
Nathan Brady: tab
Mike Smith: to share it.
Nathan Brady: on
Mike Smith: That's right.
Nathan Brady: I'll share it on the YouTubes. Here we go.
Mike Smith: All right.
Nathan Brady's Presentation: fingering crime. I'll break it down for you m************ line by line. This is business economics in the nursery rhyme. She sells seashells on a seashore, but the value of these shells will fall due to the laws of supply and demand. No one wants to buy shells cuz there's loads on the sand. Step one must create a sense of scarcity. Shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare, you see. Bear with me. Take as many shells as you can find and hide them on an island.

00:44:15

Nathan Brady's Presentation: Stock pile them high until they're rarer than the diamond. Step two. Got to make the people think that they want them. Really want them. Really f****** want. Hit on Mike Bronson. Influencers product placement feature prime time entertainment. If you haven't got a shell, then you're just a f****** waste man. Three, it's monopoly. Invest inside some property. Start a corporation. Make a logo. Do it properly. Shells must sell. That will be your new philosophy. Swallow all your morals. They're a poor man's quality. Four. Expand. Expand. Expand. Clear forest. Make land. Fresh blood on hands. Five. Why just shells? Why limit yourself? She sells seashells. Sell oil as well. Six gun.

00:44:47

Nathan Brady's Presentation: Sell stock. Sell diamond. Sell rock. Sell water to a fish. Sell the time to a clock. Seven. Press on the gas. Take your foot off the brakes. The contribute the president of the United States. Eight. Big smile. Make big wave. That's great. Now the truth is over. Tell lies out the gate. Nine. Polarize the people. Controversy is the game. It don't matter if they hate you, if they all say your name. 10. The world is yours. Step out on the stage to a round of applause. You're a liar, cheat, a devil, a w****, and you sell seashells on the seashore.
Nathan Brady: I mean that that sums it up
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: right
Mike Smith: pretty
Nathan Brady: there.
Mike Smith: good.
Nathan Brady: That's pretty good, right?

00:45:23

Nathan Brady: Um but that that's all to say, yeah, it's fake. It's fake scarcity. It's oh my god, NFTTS, there's only one. You got to buy it. You're an idiot if you don't buy this thing.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: It's it's the same with everything, right? Um it's
Mike Smith: Well,
Nathan Brady: a scam.
Mike Smith: but but how do you not see that? That seems so obvious to me.
Nathan Brady: It seems obvious to us because I think that we have we've been we've
Mike Smith: But
Nathan Brady: been down on capitalism
Mike Smith: so let me
Nathan Brady: for a little
Mike Smith: fine.
Nathan Brady: while,
Mike Smith: But like
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: like
Nathan Brady: know.
Mike Smith: let me let me let me break it down to you. Like my I have relatives uh in the Midwest, we'll say, who would get into these things like the commemorative plates that they sell on the TV or like
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: the
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: the

00:46:02

Nathan Brady: They've
Mike Smith: coins
Nathan Brady: been doing this
Mike Smith: or
Nathan Brady: forever,
Mike Smith: whatever, like real
Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: coins, you know?
Nathan Brady: Real
Mike Smith: And
Nathan Brady: coins.
Mike Smith: I'm
Nathan Brady: Yep.
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: The goldplated,
Mike Smith: they're and it's the same
Nathan Brady: you
Mike Smith: thing where
Nathan Brady: know.
Mike Smith: there's like there's only 20,000 of these. Be the first caller to blah blah. And they
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: would they would display these in their house and they're proud of them and they would claim value in it. And I'm just like,
Nathan Brady: Well, well, there was value in it if somebody else was willing to buy it, right? So,
Mike Smith: but
Nathan Brady: there was
Mike Smith: isn't
Nathan Brady: technically
Mike Smith: that the game? Aren't these all rugps
Nathan Brady: that's
Mike Smith: at
Nathan Brady: the
Mike Smith: the end
Nathan Brady: game.
Mike Smith: of the day?
Nathan Brady: That's the game. That's totally the game. They got me hooked into the game when I was six years old because I fell in love with baseball cards, right?

00:46:33

Mike Smith: Sure.
Nathan Brady: And
Mike Smith: Sure.
Nathan Brady: then I and then I opened up and then as I got as I as you get older and the sets grew and like top started doing these inserts suddenly I was opening packs that had a oh this is a game used jersey one of 100. Oh this is very valuable and it was valuable because somebody else was willing to pay for it.
Mike Smith: But I would argue that baseball cards are more like traditional stocks because they're actually based in like a tangible real world thing. You're like, I have a Griffy card. The Griffy card is only worth money because of how good Griffy was. Like that's a fact in the world. It has
Nathan Brady: But
Mike Smith: a
Nathan Brady: it's
Mike Smith: market cap.
Nathan Brady: but it was the sk the the value is based on the scarcity that was driven by the
Mike Smith: That's
Nathan Brady: company that
Mike Smith: certainly
Nathan Brady: produced
Mike Smith: part
Nathan Brady: them.
Mike Smith: of it. That's certainly

00:47:17

Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: if you have you know, if everybody's holding and nobody's selling, then the value goes up because you can't buy it. You have to make a
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: higher offer, right?
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: So, I don't know. I think bas but but I agree. I'm just saying like I see why people put value in certain things. I don't see why they put value in other things. Like
Nathan Brady: Well,
Mike Smith: like
Nathan Brady: they were
Mike Smith: there's
Nathan Brady: able
Mike Smith: a
Nathan Brady: to

Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: gold coin that he sells and
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: there's a scarcity element and at the end of the day
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: it's a it's an $80 coin or whatever that's worth, you know, a buck 50 in metal and

00:47:49

Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: and the scarcity is the only thing that makes it worthwhile outside
Nathan Brady: Exactly.
Mike Smith: of the culture war that that is the culture of Trump.
Nathan Brady: And and because Trump Yeah. Trump is popular in the same way Ken Griffy Jr. is popular even though the the piece of paper the baseball card is printed on is is worth a cent. You
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: know, the the
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: card is is popular because people wear Ken Griffy jerseys. They they want to say, "Hey, I got a Ken Griffy card." In the same way these people want their f****** stupid fight fight statue and they're they want they're now buying like Trump odor in a bottle, you know, whatever. Can you imagine what that Trump cologne smells like? the the
Mike Smith: Flop,
Nathan Brady: gri the
Mike Smith: sweat,
Nathan Brady: new
Mike Smith: and
Nathan Brady: gri.
Mike Smith: hookers. That's what
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: it smells
Nathan Brady: I I
Mike Smith: like.
Nathan Brady: mean, listen, uh I support sex workers here, so if it did smell like hookers, I might buy it to support them.

00:48:36

Nathan Brady: But but it's it's probably smells mostly like Trump and Catus. Like that's what
Mike Smith: Yeah,
Nathan Brady: I imagine.
Mike Smith: that's
Nathan Brady: That's what I imagine it smells like. Okay, speaking of hookers, um, as we operate, I almost got this m water everywhere. Did you see the post that Laura Did you wait, let's let's do shout out to Cat. Um, uh, did you see the post that Laura
Mike Smith: Oh,
Nathan Brady: Loomer
Mike Smith: yeah.
Nathan Brady: made
Mike Smith: Yeah, I know
Nathan Brady: about
Mike Smith: what you're talking about. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: about Cat? Uh, let's see if Let's see if we um Let's see if I can find it really quick.
Mike Smith: Should be high on our our thing.
Nathan Brady: Oh, did it did I post about it or did you post about it?
Mike Smith: I'm sure one of us did. I'll
Nathan Brady: Um,
Mike Smith: look there. You look elsewhere. Just look on Cat's side. It's fine.
Nathan Brady: yeah. Yeah, it's probably somewhere on Let me Let me go to We have a list for midterm candidates 2026. And in there, you'll find right now just I think Mike Sachs and uh Cat Abagazala.

00:49:31

Nathan Brady: I hope that I'm saying that right.
Mike Smith: Damn. Did
Nathan Brady: Um
Mike Smith: he get that right?
Nathan Brady: I think I got it right here.
Mike Smith: Sounded
Nathan Brady: Here it
Mike Smith: right.
Nathan Brady: is. Anyway, this is what
Mike Smith: All right.
Nathan Brady: Laura Loomer says um about uh Cat had a a very nice uh provocative, if you will, photo on her Instagram. And Laura Loomer says, "This is another communist candidate running for Congress in Illinois. Um if DSA Democialists had their way, Congress would be full of jihadists because that's apparently and wannabe hookers." So she's uh imagine that combination who want to seize all means of production. Whenever they see socialists their brains just f****** short circuit. They just like this means seize the means of production and they don't they don't they don't know understand anything. Not only is she running for Congress, but she's also dating one unders one_ Ben Collins the CEO of the Onion. I don't know if that's actually true. Is that true?

00:50:30

Nathan Brady: good for them if it is.
Mike Smith: thought his name was tin onional.
Nathan Brady: I thought it I don't know. Um, and then she says, "Please cover your cooch cat." Abigazawa. Uh, Abigazala. Yeah, I think I'm saying it right. I'm gonna have to listen to her say her name a few times. Abigazawa.

Nathan Brady: right. Right.
Mike Smith: sure

Mike Smith: yeah
Nathan Brady: gonna
Mike Smith: that sounds right.
Nathan Brady: Her name is going to be a household name soon because she's going to win and she's going to fight the kind of fight that AOC fights. And I I believe that in her from everything that I've seen from her and her grassroots campaign. So Laura Lum Loomer, first of all, I want to thank you because it's going to be posts like this that are going to make people aware of her when they weren't already, and it's going to
Mike Smith: right?
Nathan Brady: drive hopefully people to donate to her her campaign.
