Trump is Literally Dumping on Americans

00:00:00

Mike Smith: It was already annotated. Whatever.
Nathan Brady: It wasn't.
Mike Smith: Was said it Mike Smith.
Nathan Brady: Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of the Blue Sedition Podcast. I'm your host Nate Brady alongside my co-host. What's your name?
Mike Smith: Everybody welcome.
Nathan Brady: He's Mike.
Mike Smith: Welcome back to the Blues Edition podcast. Great to have you.
Nathan Brady: Uh it's so good to have you. I think this is episode 52. Uh you know, this is the longest I've committed to anything. I think.
Mike Smith: Yes, this is going to outlast your marriage somehow and your children.
Nathan Brady: Wow. That's That's rude.
Mike Smith: Wait a minute.
Nathan Brady: That's rude. Actually, none of what I none of what I that's not really true, I guess. Anyway, I mean, as far as as far as side projects or whatever goes, um I think this is this takes the cake, which is awesome.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um speaking of cake, and let's just let's just go right No, I'm just going I'm going right to the I I was trying to make some correlation between Let Them Eat Cake and the No Kings Rally.

00:00:54

Mike Smith: I know. I've read the show notes and I have no idea where this is going. I'm excited. Oh, okay.
Nathan Brady: And yeah, I I don't know.
Mike Smith: All right.
Nathan Brady: It didn't really work. But let's talk No King rallies. Uh did you attend uh the No King rally in your area locally?
Mike Smith: Locally in the small city that I'm in, but that's about it.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah, I I went to two. Um well, we Yeah.
Mike Smith: I drove by a bunch and I gave them a bunch of honks and stuff. It's the best I could do be besides the local one.
Nathan Brady: I'm trying to see if I can I was going to get paid if uh Soros would cut me a check for going to two.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um and I I don't know. Like everyone else is telling me, you have to go to your local Antifa uh headquarters and set up direct deposit because I haven't gotten my payment yet.
Mike Smith: Right.

00:01:43

Nathan Brady: Um, so that's I'm hoping that I'm hoping that's why because we know the Antifa network runs on AWS.
Mike Smith: Well, you know, Amazon like half of their servers were down for the last couple of days. So maybe that's part of the problem, too. So AWS powers correct.
Nathan Brady: Um, this is allegedly sponsored by AWS. Um, no, don't think I don't think we can say that. Please don't sue us. Um, so there were there were nearly 7 million attendees, 2,700 rallies across all all 50 states.
Mike Smith: Here's Hello, Jeff.
Nathan Brady: I even think uh wasn't there some no kings in Puerto Rico, which I don't know if you've heard the news, Puerto Rico also part of the United States of America. Um, yeah.
Mike Smith: Oh, that's good.
Nathan Brady: Some some people are well, some people Well, let me first take a step back and say that some people are very upset about the guy, the Bad Bunny.
Mike Smith: In In what way?
Nathan Brady: Have you heard about the Bad Bunny?
Mike Smith: I've heard about the Bad Bunny and I'm I I'm beside myself.

00:02:39

Nathan Brady: So, the this you talking about the uh the what's her name?
Mike Smith: It's It's one of the the greatest cell phones I've ever seen in my life.
Nathan Brady: uh Tommy Lauren interview where where she's like, "We want a we want an American um performing at the Super Bowl uh halftime show and uh I I don't remember who she had on. I
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: I think it was the the host of um I forget who was on um but she was like, "You you realize Puerto Rico is a part of the United States, right? You re you realize this?" Yeah.
Mike Smith: like if you're born in Puerto Rico, you're an American citizen. You get that, right? You you understand that. I need you to understand that, Tommy.
Nathan Brady: Uh Tommy Tommy uh doesn't understand that because she she's she's not she's not in it because she's uh well equipped with political or social knowledge.
Mike Smith: She's in it because she's a line grifter like the rest of them.
Nathan Brady: There you go.

00:03:39

Mike Smith: There you go.
Nathan Brady: Um so 20 2700 events uh they they estimate between you know five and seven million people. Um, no kings, no tyrants, democracy, not dictatorship. Some really I saw some some great signs come out of it. Um, speakers like, uh, Bernie Sanders, I think. Um, um, God, I'm having a hard time with names today. Who's the guy that runs Zateo News? Um, um, yeah.
Mike Smith: Betty, Mark Ruffalo out and about like there were a bunch of actors and stuff.
Nathan Brady: Uh, he also spoke. Um, so I mean, it seemed like a really Yeah, all the all the people you would expect.
Mike Smith: The normal like lefty like you know talking folks they want to but it was good.
Nathan Brady: Um, the largest peaceful demonstration in the history of the United States.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um, second to the last No Kings uh protest, I believe. um in the middle of what could end up being the longest government shutdown, only second to the last longest government shutdown, which was in Trump v1.

00:04:51

Nathan Brady: Um man, seems like we're really doing it.
Mike Smith: Heat.
Nathan Brady: How do you know how did Trump respond to the no Kings protests? He had a How do you do that? What did he do?
Mike Smith: I mean, like literally s*** posting, I think, is the way to to phrase that.
Nathan Brady: He literally s*** posted, right? He he posted Go ahead with just just an AI video of Trump which if you if you look at any part of this video by the way it's really I mean it has Trump in orange face like deep
Mike Smith: Yeah, he's just meing through the the pain, I guess. I don't I don't kind of get it, but Love it.
Nathan Brady: orange face put putting on a crown um acting as a fighter jet and then he opens the hatches and dumps literal s*** onto American citizens below him.
Mike Smith: Love it. Right.
Nathan Brady: I don't even know. I don't know what to say anymore, man. I don't even know.
Mike Smith: Does he Does he understand memes or does he understand I mean maybe that's what he wants.

00:05:54

Mike Smith: Maybe like he's literally telling you I am the king and I'll s*** on you if I want to. And he expects his his voters to be like yeah let's go through his phone.
Nathan Brady: From from what I understand, I heard somewhere that during his first term, he didn't let anyone have access to his social media accounts.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um, and now he's letting staffers, etc. do posts and whatever.
Mike Smith: So, you think this is Stephen Miller's doing? This is Stephen's got the phone and he's he's going nuts.
Nathan Brady: I think I think it's their version of whoever is running Gavin Newsome's social media campaign, but they're just really bad at it.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um because I mean who what does it what did that even do? I mean at least and it's it's honestly it's it's it's turning it's got to be turning some people off.
Mike Smith: I don't know. That's that's sort of my point is that like he's trying to score, you know, cheap political points with his base for that, but I'm like, you're not running again and the government's not not working right now.

00:06:50

Mike Smith: So, like it is uh it's definitely turning people off.
Nathan Brady: Although at this point if But it's it's hard, you know, if you're already if you're if you've come if you've come this far and you're a Trump supporter, it's hard to believe that anything will will have an effect
Mike Smith: Uh, right.
Nathan Brady: on you. Um, you know, if you support pedophiles at this point, it's hard to believe.
Mike Smith: Um, I do know I wish I had this right off hand.
Nathan Brady: You know, you know Okay.
Mike Smith: I thought I had it in the show notes, but I don't. There was a poll that was released on Monday. I believe it was by uh it was reported by uh CNBC, I want to say. I can't find it. I saw it though. And his his numbers were way down. And obviously in partisan voting blocks in the Democrats and the Republicans directly his his numbers are down for both but on the order of like one to two percent. So it's you know within the margin of error.

00:08:01

Mike Smith: But then in independent and uh nonregistered voter blocks they're like down Yeah, that looks right. It they're like down a ton, right? Because of you know everything that's going on.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Um, it it's the negative3 net approval on the economy is the lowest of any CNBC
Mike Smith: So yeah, you look at the aggregate there and you're like it was 44% now it's 42% and then it was 52 now it's 55. you're like, it's within margin of error. But you go down to the the end and you're like, man, he's falling out of favor.
Nathan Brady: survey survey during either of Trump's two terms. He's definitely falling out of favor, right?
Mike Smith: A and I think it's only a matter of time for him falling out of favor even with his most staunchest Republican voting blocks outside of and in fact if you go down here they like break it down on his issues and the only thing he's not underwater on is this immigration policy stuff which
Nathan Brady: which is crazy. And no actually I mean yeah the southern border he's not under the water on but the actual deport deportation of illegal immigrants he is underwater on foreign policy tariffs inflation he's way underwater on um I mean

00:09:11

Mike Smith: Oh yeah. And that's what I'm saying is that, you know, and we were kind of talking about this before we started the podcast, but there is such a disproportionate I we talk about uh wealth inequality a lot on this show.
Nathan Brady: Yes.
Mike Smith: hugely disproportionate uh difference between normal people, working Americans and then the ultra rich, even the moderately ultra rich. And so because they have so much uh the economy is so much based around imports which they count as a negative and GDP in the terms of growth which really turns to be like uh organizational business growth not necessarily capital growth. So you have a lot of money being invested. You have fewer than ever imports coming in. And so we get this uh the economic report that was released just a little bit ago saying that that inflation uh was down or like it it had beat the expected of 3.2% to like 3.8% % of of Jeff's e I'm sorry not inflation economic growth and so it looks like the economy is doing really really well except people who make up the vast majority of the population the population of this country are like oh why are groceries more expensive now why does gas cost more now why does electricity cost more now and they're starting to see the the ramifications of the big beautiful bill coming through

00:10:34

Nathan Brady: right?
Mike Smith: and they're like hold on my medical premiums just tripled who hold on a second here and so the economy is doing great just not for you and me and it's not meant to so that but but but we
Nathan Brady: Not for you and me. Uh, no. And and yeah, it's so here's what happened in um 2020. We had, you know, we had his mishandling of COVID.
Mike Smith: all get a vote so eventually those votes go oh the economy has to matter for me otherwise I'm not putting you back there
Nathan Brady: Um, we had, you know, economy in the dumps and you literally put up a corpse as the Democratic party and we saw a turnout unlike anything we've ever seen, right? 81 million uh people voted for Joe Biden. Um, and the the the right called it a hoax because how can that many people blah blah blah? Look at the next election where Camala Harris got like 15 million fewer votes. Um, but it was because of how bad Trump was, you could have run anybody.

00:11:47

Mike Smith: Yes.
Nathan Brady: Um, I'm
Mike Smith: Yeah. No, the the pendulum sw uh swings wildly, especially for deeply popular or unpopular presidents. If you are wildly one or the other, it's going to swing against you in the next election with your opponent. We saw that in Obama a lot. At the end of Obama's terms, he was still very wildly popular amongst Democrats and we fielded Hillary Clinton. You're just like, and it swung completely in the other direction.
Nathan Brady: gonna tell you my fear here, and we're going to live it out.
Mike Smith: Okay, I'm ready.
Nathan Brady: I know we're going to live it out. um Gavin Newsome or whoever the Dem establishment choice is um is going to win if we have another election is going to beat JD Vance or Marco Rubio in a landslide and we're going to have four years of
Mike Smith: Yeah. Right.
Nathan Brady: what we of what they're calling is build back better renewal age the whatever that's not really going to do anything for the working class and we're going to be right back here four years later with some insane Steven

00:12:54

Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: Milleresque Republican that is going to tear tear it down even worse which is exactly what happened with Biden right we started slightly turn incremental improvement slightly turning the economy around you know he he he was facing a lot of challenges because of COVID rebound etc um it was difficult but what we saw was that it didn't move fast enough it didn't help the working class enough. You couldn't stop a genocide in Gaza. You you didn't do enough. And immediately everybody forgot how bad Trump was and was like, "Well, this this clearly isn't working." So, so my fear is Pete Budajedge or Gavin Newsome or whoever pops up as the Dem establishment choice to kind of lead us back from this hell hole. Um, is going to just get us four years of coasting, hey, at least this isn't Trump and we're going to we're never going to climb out of this mess.
Mike Smith: Yeah, maybe.
Nathan Brady: They're going to take advantage of it.
Mike Smith: Oh, the the no matter who wins, there's going to take advantage of it.

00:14:09

Mike Smith: And that's what we're going to continue seeing is that the the it's all I hate to use the word oligarchs, but I mean, that's what it is. It's it's it's it's the Plutarchs.
Nathan Brady: It is. It's too Yeah.
Mike Smith: It's it's the the people with the money in power. They work for the people with the money in power. And we're sort of just here to clap for them in these elections. And that's really all it is.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: And they don't care because I I guarantee you that none of them care if Trump wins versus if if Harris wins. It was going to be the status quo. The rich were going to continue getting richer. the workingclass people of the world. We're we're going to continue not seeing things improve. In fact, we're still seeing things degrade. And nobody cares because the rich are still rich.
Nathan Brady: That's it.
Mike Smith: And I I'm very I'm I don't know. I'm I'm in a mood today, but I'm very at the point now where I don't really see how this this ends without us actually physically eating the rich.

00:15:06

Nathan Brady: I mean, so listen, uh, the Blue Sedition podcast does not officially endorse or, uh, uh, promote violence. Um, but I am with you in that I don't see this ending any other way other than a um French style, you know,
Mike Smith: Yeah, because that's what we're having here is we have this nobility with the money and power now and they are determining our future, the the surfs living off of the land. And so at some point we're going to get sick of it. They're going to do enough damage to our way of living that we're going to have to either seize their their assets in a revolution like you're talking about so that we just tell you you no longer have that money or power or something more drastic.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, I mean, um, every house that's up for sale in my neighborhood is Black Rockck owned. I can tell you that much.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um, we're where we have a a major housing crisis. We have a food crisis. We have a water crisis now because of climate change.

00:16:18

Nathan Brady: Um, I don't know if you've seen some horrible projections coming out over the next 10, 20 years, um, showing where water is drying up, where we have a big problem and where we live. Um, we have we have issues, man. And I think you're right. It's going to get to the point where, um, we we both know the number one cause of violence is um, due to lack of necessities. uh like like uh what what we think are human rights, food, water, health care.
Mike Smith: like water.
Nathan Brady: Um you know, people are going to do what they need to do to feed their families and and survive. And we're getting to the point where um Americans are in so much debt, they're in f*** it mode. Um you know, f*** it, I'm just going to do what I got to do to to survive.
Mike Smith: Yeah, there's going to come a point, I think, and and I think you touched on this when you're talking about, you know, most of the houses around you being owned by like Black Rockck or other private equity and

00:17:09

Nathan Brady: And I'm watching
Mike Smith: things like that. Um, you you might remember this. We were looking for um a new space for our offices and we were talking with like a bunch of real estate folks and things like that and we were asking him, we're like, well, you know, we see all
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: of these empty, you know, units here, like this is this is business obviously, but we're seeing like floors on buildings that are just completely empty and they have been for years. And we're like, you're you're asking too much, but it's been empty for 10 years. can we can you just negotiate with us on this price and come down a little bit on this? And the real estate guy just kind of laughed at us and he's like, "You don't understand the the ideals behind private equity owning these these buildings. They want their price and if you aren't willing to give it, they'll leave it empty for years and years. They don't care." And it's going to be the same thing with housing.

00:18:13

Mike Smith: Now you have this private equity owning pe like homes that people could otherwise live in. There's going to be a point where Black Rockck owns, you know, all of a town and at some point people are going to be like, "You know what? I'm just going to live in that house. You come and kick me out." And they're just not going to pay them because they don't care anymore. Be like, "Nice private equity. It's mine now." Sure.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. And so, uh, I I want to I'll correct myself live here. I guess I mean the according to the to the Googles, Black Rockck doesn't own individual homes. That's a joke, though. I mean, it's through subsidiaries, etc. that there are millions of homes owned by invest in institutional invest investment firms.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um they're flipping, they're inflating the costs, they're doing all of the things um to create a very that creates a very unstable housing market. Um great unoccupied.
Mike Smith: There's an inflection point where there will be enough people who cannot like live in a home and there will be plenty of homes sitting unused un unpurchased and and they're just going to be squatters.

00:19:20

Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: They're going to be like, "Well, there's too many of us for them to kick them all out." So
Nathan Brady: Or it's going to be, you know, a majority of uh uh investors that own all these homes that are are you are are forcing people to pay rent because they have nowhere else to live and they can't afford to own a home. They can't get they can't get approved for a loan to buy a home because they don't make enough money to buy a $4 million, you know, 1,200 foot home, you know.
Mike Smith: yeah, so much of that has to do with us just like willingly going along with it.
Nathan Brady: Um Oh, depressing, dude. Thank Thanks for that.
Mike Smith: Though I do think that there is a a point where enough, you know, landlords own this stuff that they don't have enough people to police that and there will just be people living in there not paying. And what are you going to do about it?
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: You Oh, you own You own six million homes in America.

00:20:15

Nathan Brady: I I'll tell you what, if you're a landlord and you listen to our show, I would make sure you have a good life insurance policy.
Mike Smith: Okay. How many of them are occupied currently by people not paying you? Good luck.
Nathan Brady: That's not a threat from That's not a threat from me. I just know I'm seeing what's happening and I'm saying I think landlords are um probably one of the first group of of of people who's going to have their doors kicked in um because they're they're going to be easier to access than uh the people in the class directly above them, you know.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Um so landlords Yeah. And and it's unfortunate because I understand that there are some landlords out there that are in very similar situations. They chose to buy a home for um a passive income stream and now they're facing the same economy we're all facing and so because of that they're raising rents. I'm not making excuses for them. Um I'm just saying that um this is getting really dire.

00:21:22

Mike Smith: Yeah. And that's what I'm saying is that there there's like the economy and it so very doesn't apply to us working folk anymore. The economy is doing great, but you have to put your groceries on a pay by4 installments plan because you need to eat. like there's just two different aspects here and eventually the economy is not going to matter to most Americans.
Nathan Brady: I I I I have to say I mean you and I I think um and people may know this that we we they they know we work in tech. We're not um we're not working poor, right? like we're not we're we we we fight for the working class, but I wouldn't say that we are um you you know we're not near the poverty lines. We do pretty well for ourselves, right? And I'm dipping into my savings to pay for groceries some weeks, you know what I mean?
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Like it just it doesn't make sense to me how other people uh are able to survive. I'm a homeowner.

00:22:27

Nathan Brady: I have a mortgage, you know? Um, I have I have a one child. Um, and my grocery bills are insane. How do And I'm thinking, how do people who aren't even a Right.
Mike Smith: and insurance and your car payments and everything else.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: I mean, it's it's it's crazy.
Nathan Brady: I mean, and I remember previously when I was working in restaurants, um, where I had it a lot tougher, it was still easier than it is. It seemingly is right now.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: 20 years ago, right? Like it was just easier then. Um I was able to pay my rent, um pay for for food for my family on a single income working as a restaurant manager and still be able to go out to eat a couple times a week and have a good time and you know, whatever.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: And now 20 years later, making a lot more money proportionally um and not being able to do those things anymore. So, um I don't know how people um who aren't making what we would consider living wages surviving.

00:23:26

Mike Smith: Heat.
Nathan Brady: They're not surviving. We know they're not surviving.
Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: They're they're putting everything on credit cards and one day they're going to be out of room. There's going to be no more credit limits. There's going to be no nothing left. And then what do they do? You know, uh that day is coming. So, uh, okay. Let's Hey, let's transition into something uh more fun. Uh, oh, wait. You don't have anything fun in our You don't have anything fun in the show notes today.
Mike Smith: He forgets what podcast this is. Yeah, exactly.
Nathan Brady: Um, this isn't fun. The United States has invaded a national territory, fired a missile to kill a humble fisherman, and destroyed his family and his children. So, the Colombian president um who who now Donald Trump is referring to as an illegal drug leader with a fresh mouth. Trump said uh in one of his in one of his um truth social posts, uh the president of Columbia has come out and said, "Listen, here's all the proof. Here's

00:24:38

Nathan Brady: video. Here's images of the boat. Here's this fisherman. He had a distress call out. He was stuck, you know, in in in our waters um looking for a way to get back. He wasn't going anywhere. He wasn't traveling at any at any speed. He was literally stuck there. He was he was not going anywhere, never mind to the United States with a bucketload of drugs, whatever the hell you're talking about.
Mike Smith: Okay.
Nathan Brady: And the and a and a US drone just appears out of nowhere and murders this guy. What the what?
Mike Smith: Yeah. No, I don't know. And I think that this is the the same thing that keeps happening to this administration is that they do what they want first, they come up with an explanation for why second, and they claim to have some evidence to to back up their their statement. That never really comes. And in this case, there's somebody on the other side going, "Well, we have a lot of evidence suggesting what you're saying is not true."

00:25:39

Mike Smith: And and what does Trump say except like you got a hot mouth or whatever, you know, something weird.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, look. So, so here it is. Not only does he say that, he says he says Sunday that pro had and in this post, it doesn't say this here in this post, he spells Colombia wrong. He spells it like the university because he has no idea what he's what or who he's talking about.
Mike Smith: Oh, that's why he's mad. He thinks they're protesting or something.
Nathan Brady: He says Petro had a had a fresh mouth toward America. He complained that the drug smuggling continues despite largecale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long-term ripoff for America. And now he's uh he's threatening to take away um any any aid that the United States is giving to Colombia. Um because the president of Colombia was like, "Why are you killing our fishermen?" Um, can can you imagine can you imagine you and I take a boat off Catalina Island and we're out there, we're out fishing and then f****** I don't know, pick pick a country, you know, Russia is just like

00:26:30

Mike Smith: pretty fresh if you ask me.
Nathan Brady: does a flyby and was like, "Oo, uh, I think these are Yeah. bam.
Mike Smith: f*** those guys specifically. Bam.
Nathan Brady: And what what what shouldn't as a country shouldn't you respond? Shouldn't Shouldn't you be like maybe don't kill?
Mike Smith: Yeah, I can guarantee you that if the opposite had happened, we would be at war with them today.
Nathan Brady: There would already there would there would have been nukes or Yeah.
Mike Smith: We would have boots on the ground. If if yeah if Colombia had had drone striked American fishermans off the keys because they were like they were carrying drugs, Colombia would be, you know, a glass desert now.
Nathan Brady: Right. Yeah. Exactly. Um, cool. So, uh, what's the fallout from this?
Mike Smith: Cool.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. What's the Yeah, cool. Cool as in uh what what happens.
Mike Smith: No, I don't know. I don't know what the followup is. You know, there used to be that there would be checks and balances in our government and and someone would answer for this.

00:27:43

Mike Smith: You'd be like, Pete Hegath's going to get in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and have to answer questions. Maybe a public hearing. Maybe he'd be court marshal. I don't know where the the the the order came from, but there would be something that happened. We did the Benghazi thing for like 60 weeks, you know, while Hillary Clinton sat there and they were like our emails in front of Congress. But now I don't nothing. So the one thing that comes out of it is that again and again it it shines the light in the public eye that the Trump administration is not credible. They say things, they do things and then they don't have the evidence to back up what they've said or done.
Nathan Brady: But we we have right there.
Mike Smith: And and we see it we see it in a bunch of cases, but it's becoming more and more apparent. I mean, the Epstein thing continues to this day where they were uh Mike Johnson and his and his ilk were because they're doing this every day during the government shutdown.

00:28:38

Mike Smith: They get in front of a podium and they they lecture, you know, the news organizations on Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Like it's phase 30 of the of the Democratic shutdown, right? Yeah.
Mike Smith: And they're they're like, we refu they refuse to to uh seat a Democratic lawmaker who should have been sworn in already. Uh, and the reason that they won't do it is because this would be the vote that would allow them or force them to release the Epstein files, which every Republican has voted against basically except for three. And so when you're like, well, I think I forget who asked it, but somebody was like, are you not seating this this congressperson because uh you're afraid that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files and they can vote for for that release? and he goes, "Donald Trump is not in the Epstein files and I have seen them." And I want to be like, "Well, hold on a second. Six weeks ago, you told me there were no Epstein files." So,
Nathan Brady: Right. Right.
Mike Smith: if you've seen them, release them.

00:29:36

Mike Smith: And they go, "No." And you go, "Well, see, the thing is," and people can see through that b*******. Even Republicans are like, "Well, hold on a second here. I want to see the Epstein files. Show them to me." The
Nathan Brady: Isn't uh Virginia
Mike Smith: same thing here. If you're like, "If you have evidence that this guy was carrying drugs on his boat, just release them. Release a picture on the internet. be like, "This guy was carrying. Look, this is drugs. That right there, that's drugs. He was We knew it. We blew up his boat. Cry me more crocodile tears about him being a fisherman. Here's our intel. We believed he was a drug smuggler. Just do that." But they can't do it because they don't have anything that even remotely corroborates that story. And every time they're like, "We have so much evidence. We're going to show you." And then they don't do it.

00:30:14

Mike Smith: They lose they lose public image. People stop believing in them.
Nathan Brady: Um there I know that there's a Guthy's uh Virginia Guy, one of Epstein's accusers, her book actually comes out today and ahead of that I know that um Prince Andrew yesterday Um
Mike Smith: like abdicated, except that's not quite the right word. He like gave up his royal titles like entirely because children keep coming up and being like, "It's the sex guy. Oh,
Nathan Brady: yeah, because well and and it was, you know, the day before um Guffy's book drops and only the publisher and one other person, the lawyer, knew what was in the book, but it was very clearly going to be um Prince Andrew raped me a bunch of times when I was 17. Um, and that that is I'm I'm trying to catch because it it dropped I don't know last night at midnight and so I'm trying to quickly look for um excerpts from it.
Mike Smith: yeah. Who's got Who's got the clips notes?
Nathan Brady: The biggest Yeah.
Mike Smith: Who did the homework?

00:31:17

Nathan Brady: So I got I gotta I gotta do more research there. But I just want to go back to the Colombia thing for a minute and say yeah I I'm worried that there are no repercussions from this.
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: the the president of Colombia's called for international legal action at the United Nations. What's what's that going to do? Um there's there's several uh law professors that are saying obviously um the the the White House violated international law. Um Congress didn't authorize uh a strike like this. Um but
Mike Smith: Yeah. I mean, as the head of the of the executive, if if this I mean, this didn't happen exactly like this, but it basically happened to Reagan and then you had Ollie North falling on the grenade, you know, because there were congressional hearing after congressional hearing and somebody had to, you know, land on the sword for a lack of a better explanation.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: But here, I mean, who's gonna what are they gonna do? Impeach him?

00:32:19

Mike Smith: because that's the only option you could have here if you're like he ordered that drone strike illegally in international waters uh without congressional approval. This is what we are supposed to impeach him for, but we're not going to do it.
Nathan Brady: No, I mean there's there's probably a hundred reasons at this point to impeach Trump.
Mike Smith: It's just it's jury nullification in Congress is what it is.
Nathan Brady: I think this is one of them for sure. Uh but I don't I don't see I don't see anything happening. Um
Mike Smith: No, you won't. You won't until there's some semblance of a government again. Because what we have what we have now is a just a banana republic. It's just it's his cronies and they refuse to follow the law and they just won't do anything. They've abdicated their responsibilities in Congress and the Senate and they're just not going to do it. If I if the midterms swing either or both chambers blue and you're going to see impeachment or articles of impeachment on day one if there's a, you know, a transition of power.

00:33:20

Nathan Brady: Um, I
Mike Smith: That's the other thing is that, you know, Mike Johnson just might not ever let any new Democrat uh House of Representative or representative in the House actually be sworn in. So they their votes don't matter. You're like, "What? We
Nathan Brady: mean, what what do we do with it?
Mike Smith: have a system here.
Nathan Brady: We we we we are I mean, since the the uh 2020 election, we have uh between the Kerry Lakes and the storming of the capital and um you know, the the lawsuits at the uh at state levels trying to prevent people to take their seats and recounts, whatever. We're in a completely new world as far as elections go. And I think what you're saying is accurate. I mean, Mitch McConnell didn't let Obama choose Escotus and Democrats were like, "All right, I guess we just don't get to do that." Um, what what's so what's the recourse the again?
Mike Smith: Yeah, just roll over. They're like, "Well, we can't do a closure vote here because it's never been done before."

00:34:24

Mike Smith: That would be rude. You're like, "He's literally taking this away from you." What are you talking about? What do you mean being rude?
Nathan Brady: What's the recourse of like um well you you you can't get enough
Mike Smith: pitchforks and torches, tar and feathers. I mean, there's not a lot of recourse if we're not willing to follow the law, right? I mean, if we're not going to follow the rules that are set in place in Congress, we're not going to follow the laws that were written in Congress and enacted, you know, in good faith, laws don't matter. So, it's time to pick up pitchforks and torches.
Nathan Brady: I mean, it's seeming that way because Yeah, you're right. Um, I forget who the congresswoman is that um that they're not seating right now. Um, and and Jeff uh Jeff um Johnson claimed it wasn't for any other any reasons. We're just waiting until we're back in session and then, you know, we'll get her family down here. We'll do the swearing and the whatever.

00:35:28

Nathan Brady: Um, but at this point, it's pretty hard to believe. Um, okay.
Mike Smith: Yeah, her name is Adalita Graalva. I believe is Relect.
Nathan Brady: Um, and she won the special election.
Mike Smith: Yeah. Um and she's succeeded her late father who held the seat before her. So, it's like pretty obviously the will of the people and they're just refusing to swear her in because they don't want that extra vote.
Nathan Brady: um she won 68.9% of the vote to 29.4% of the vote. So, yeah, it's not even close, right?
Mike Smith: Not even close.
Nathan Brady: Um and she still hasn't been sworn in. Wow.
Mike Smith: Not even contentious. Just this was this was, you know, a passing of the torch ostensibly. It's enough votes to release the Epstein files. All I'm saying Shut
Nathan Brady: nearly a month. I think they already had enough votes and um I mean that was my understanding was that there was a there was Republicans that there were there was enough votes to release the Epstein files even before her swearing in. Um and that's why Johnson sent people home, shut down the government.

00:36:51

Mike Smith: down the government.
Nathan Brady: That was it. Um, but at this point, I mean, what could possibly be in those Epstein files that's gonna change anything is it's got to be video recordings.
Mike Smith: I mean, I assume flight logs and video recordings and pictures and we talked about this before.
Nathan Brady: That's going to be the But but we're at the point now where people are going to be like, "That's AI. This is this is an attack from Democrats, blah blah blah." And nothing is going to happen. Uh,
Mike Smith: I don't know, man. You have a lot of people who are not politically minded. I will say that they're tribal voters. They're not politically savvy who at the drop of a hat of any like evidence will will renounce people for you know pedophilia or even certain sexual actions or I mean imagine it just comes out that Trump's gay like he's just there he's on video with a guy like imagine that comes out and the video gets released like that that's a lot of his evangelical base being like nope no

00:38:06

Nathan Brady: Yeah. Um, but I mean there's certainly been enough that has come out about him already that should make Christians evangelicals. Um, I mean the guy can't name a his favorite passage from the Bible. He holds the thing upside down. He clearly he clearly doesn't know anything about it. Um and and this is their guy because it's not a
Mike Smith: But that's a but that's an evangelical talking point them their followers not really being, you know, staunch or devout Christians to begin with is sort of their emmo. So they don't really care that some other guy claims to be an evangelical and isn't very wise to the ways of of his his religion, but there are certain things they don't stand. Pedophilia is one of them. Unless you're talking about priests, then you only, you know, 5050. Right.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, unless you're talking about people in leadership positions and then they're like, "Well, don't talk about our daddy that way." I think Trump falls under that category. So, I mean, I I I hope I hope you're right.

00:39:13

Mike Smith: Possibly.
Nathan Brady: First,
Mike Smith: But then, so here's the thing that I don't get. Say that's true because that's a cynical point of view. And you and I are both very cynical people. I understand that. But we're also pragmatic, right? So, what could possibly be in the Epstein files that would simultaneously scare the Republicans enough to not release them, but also do any damage whatsoever, right? Because our position is like, "Oh, the Epstein files prove that Trump's a pedophile." And then if your pos the other side of that position is none of that's going to change anything because people are terrible in this country, then like why the hesitation?
Nathan Brady: I mean, can can we Yeah.
Mike Smith: Just release it. Just be like, "Ah, he's in it. Who cares?
Nathan Brady: C can we talk about this for a second? Like, what's even the chain of custody for these Epstein files? Who has these supposed Epstein files? So, when the when the time comes and we So, so Congress votes, yes, we're releasing the Epstein files.

00:40:02

Mike Smith: I assume DOJ lockdown like because they've got evidence holdings, right?
Nathan Brady: The chain of custody for that goes from the DOJ to Congress, and we're going to believe that what we're getting is the actual Epstein files. I mean, I can't believe they haven't already done this.
Mike Smith: I don't know. Well, that's kind of my point is why wouldn't they have already done this? Like what?
Nathan Brady: That's interesting.
Mike Smith: I'm literally just asking that question. Like if if let's just say for the sake of argument that there is nothing damning in there. The the the words Donald Trump or anything that even sniffs like him weren't in any findings or evidence out there. Why haven't they already released them?
Nathan Brady: Well, I'll I'll give you maybe I'll give you a why. I mean, I don't think they're this conniving. I don't think that they're this smart, but we've been we've been fighting for the release of the Epstein files now for a long time, and it's like been a major talking point of the left.

00:41:02

Nathan Brady: And say, okay, also the right.
Mike Smith: But also the right there there's a huge swath of the right that are saying the same thing because they're like Bill Clinton's going to be in there and they're like if he is go kill him.
Nathan Brady: So, let's say they're like, yeah.
Mike Smith: I don't care. Like put him in jail.
Nathan Brady: So, so no, here's my point. So, so let's say that they hold on to them until, you know, a month before midterms or a few weeks before midterms and it and then they and then they release them and it's all Democrat stuff and it's nothing about Trump and it's a whole we told you so campaign.
Mike Smith: I don't know, man. I don't think I don't think that they're that smart. And I don't think that that would play very well. It would play to the Republican base, but I don't think that it would really sway any independence in any meaningful way.
Nathan Brady: But that's I guess that comes back to the whole point is I don't think any of this is going to sway anybody at this point.

00:41:49

Mike Smith: It just seems so dumb right now where you're just like, why not just like if I'm a political strategist, I'm saying what you're saying.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: I'm like, I'm just going to redline this entire thing to make it look like my enemies are the only ones on the list and the other stuff's been redacted for national security reasons.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: And I just give you 50 folders of whatever we've got.
Nathan Brady: Right.
Mike Smith: And I'm like, here, I did it. I I I uh campaigned on releasing these Epste files. we're going to get, you know, justice to the American people. Just do it. It's an easy win. And it's several news cycles you could have avoided by doing it six months ago.
Nathan Brady: All right.
Mike Smith: But the other thing is is I don't think that this administration really wants to do anything. He just wanted to get into power so that he can have his money in power. And then when he gets here, he kind of needs news cycles to show that things are happening.

00:42:41

Mike Smith: It's one of the the the reasons he's so agrieved by the shutdown is he's like nothing's happening and normal people can't see the difference between that and a functioning government.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: And they're like, uhoh, wait a minute. Hold on. Do we need that functioning federal government if it's not going to actually do anything?
Nathan Brady: Well, they're they're of course using that to their advantage where they're now only cutting what they're calling left-wing, you know, government agencies and left-wing government programs. Um, so using that to their advantage. Um, Well, I mean, you
Mike Smith: I don't know, man. I just think at some point people are going to be like, "Do I pay taxes this year?" And and then we see where where things happen.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it it it might get to the point where I'm going to have to change my withholding codes because um I'm worried I'm not going to get my refund uh you know, at at come come the end

00:43:47

Mike Smith: Right.
Nathan Brady: of the year or the beginning of the year.
Mike Smith: Are you change your withholding so you can buy your groceries this f****** month then?
Nathan Brady: Um, right.
Mike Smith: If I don't have any money to give the government at the end of the year, you know, that's that's a tough one. Sorry.
Nathan Brady: I mean, what are you what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Come get me because you're gonna have a lot of people to come get negative8.
Mike Smith: Yeah. What are you gonna do? Close my bank account with its $8 in it? Go ahead and take it.
Nathan Brady: Thank you very much.
Mike Smith: Yeah. Yeah. You're going to take that debt where I owe $15 for having the account open.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: Go ahead.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: It's all all yours, Uncle Sam. It's all yours.
Nathan Brady: the the $12 monthly account fee comes in and then I get hit with the $35 fee because I couldn't pay the $12 fee.

00:44:30

Nathan Brady: Yeah, come get it.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Come get my negative $47 bank account. Appreciate you. Um, okay. What else we got?
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: What else you want to talk about? This is really great stuff today. This is We got a lot of good stuff. I saw that Hakee Jeff was trending earlier. Um, it sounds like there was a um there was a credible threat made on his life um by you're never going to believe this by a pardon January 6th rier.
Mike Smith: Uhhuh. Oh.
Nathan Brady: I mean, go figure. Oh, I don't want to I don't I'm not supporting.
Mike Smith: You're telling me those guys are a little unstable? That's That's weird.
Nathan Brady: I'm not I'm not going on WPO. So, we'll go over here and just just see it from here. Uh yeah, believe it or not, those guys are a little unstable. So, it looks like it's this dude. This dude right here next to this very stable looking dude, the shaman guy.

00:45:15

Mike Smith: Well, that guy next to the Oh, the the shaman, whatever he was.
Nathan Brady: These look like really stable people here. Um, what are they just read?
Mike Smith: Do you know what these people look like to me?
Nathan Brady: They're like, look at this guy.
Mike Smith: And I know that this is just just me being classist and I understand this. I am a I'm a sophisticated baseball enjoyer, not one of you heathen football enjoyers, but sorry, I'm joking. But like, doesn't this just look like the stands at some football game where like your mascot's the Buffalo or something?
Nathan Brady: No, it does. It does. It does look like that.
Mike Smith: You're like, he's wearing the colors of the teams and he's just Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: You know, he's here for a good time.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. You think if they all took off their their shirts, it would say the Bills.
Mike Smith: They all had a beer in hand.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: Yeah. Exact.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.

00:45:57

Mike Smith: Exactly.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Smith: Exactly.
Nathan Brady: No offense to any Bills fans out there, but Yeah. Um, so there's that going on. So they've they've rearrested him. I imagine that Trump will just pardon him again. I don't know. I don't know how that works. Um, uh, Trump Trump pardoned, um, multiple violent criminals as well as just people who were quote unquote there. He also pardoned people that, uh, were convicted for beating up federal agents, uh, federal police officers while they were there.
Mike Smith: Yeah, he he he wields the pardon this time around specifically as his uh his you won't get in any trouble for breaking the law against the right people. Like that's that's how he uses it now. And it's like very telling that he's like someone should go and hit Nancy Pelos's husband with a hammer.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: And then somebody does it and he's like I'm going to pardon that guy. He knows he's getting that pardon.
Nathan Brady: Uh, let's see what else we got.

00:47:01

Nathan Brady: You got um Donald Trump, I believe, is looking for $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him and
Mike Smith: No. for winning investigating him, winning cases against President or I'm sorry, uh uh candidate Trump, indicting him on federal charges.
Nathan Brady: so so that so so he's seeking $230 million from the Justice department and that settlement will likely be approved by the current Justice Department.
Mike Smith: Mhm. Right. Yes.
Nathan Brady: Uh just because on an order from him who your face says it all there.
Mike Smith: on an order from him.
Nathan Brady: Um so that's great. That's good. um using some of that money.
Mike Smith: Just really just really really quickly though because I I'm probably confused about who who who pays that money ultimately?
Nathan Brady: China.
Mike Smith: Who?
Nathan Brady: No. Oh, sorry. Uh the same people who pay the tariffs, the taxpayers.
Mike Smith: Oh s***. taxpayers. Oh no, that's me.
Nathan Brady: That's you. Um but don't worry, please, Mike.
Mike Smith: God, what a what a petulant little baby.

00:48:13

Mike Smith: He's like he he doesn't like the outcome of him committing crimes. He's made president, which effectively means he's not allow like it's illegal for him to make crimes or something. I don't remember what Scott said, but basically he can't commit crimes as president. And so he's, you know, enacting retribution against the Justice Department, his justice department, to make them pay him for I don't know where they got this number from. I think it's just out of thin air as most things he comes up with. And he just wants money. Like what the f***?
Nathan Brady: But but Mike Mike, he's paying for the ballroom himself.
Mike Smith: No. No. What?
Nathan Brady: Nothing.
Mike Smith: I He literally destroyed the White House. Nobody gives a s***.
Nathan Brady: Look at this.
Mike Smith: I think I think I think the United States of America is over.
Nathan Brady: Look at this thing.
Mike Smith: I think we need an EU style like conglomerations of states that that use the same currency and have inter inter union like trade and and travel.

00:49:24

Mike Smith: But man, I'm I'm kind of done. I'm kind of done with this US of A thing. It's just kind of not working anymore.
Nathan Brady: you. It doesn't feel it it doesn't feel very united and and it and it really stems from the fact that we're over here doing a blue podcast and there are people doing red podcasts and and we're we're constantly I mean I'm one of them. I'm yelling. We f****** yell at the people who are at my same, you know, at at the same class level as I am.
Mike Smith: You guys that's what I'm saying is that you it's it's the same
Nathan Brady: And we're fighting over something stupid. And the people up top are with their puppet strings and doing this and they're laughing and they're haha and we're Yeah, man. We're not united. Uh they're keeping us this way. And it's working for them so far until it no longer works. Um,
Mike Smith: class and strata problems that you saw. uh you know in France during the re the revolution it's people with with the nobility the money and power and all of the surfs beneath them and eventually the people realize they outnumber the the rich and powerful.

00:50:28

Nathan Brady: it's really it's interesting when you see like some of those ICE raids where like four guys from ICE show up and and 550 people who are just walking down a street are like, "The f*** you think you're doing?" And they're like, "All right."
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: And then they just I mean, I saw one recently where they just had to let a guy go because there was too much overwhelming uh you know, intervention from the crowd and they had to they had to just
Mike Smith: Yeah. Public outcry. Yeah.
Nathan Brady: drive away. Um we outnumber them. And it's just it's just fascinating to me this whole idea of a representative democracy, this republic that we're in where people are like, "Okay, I'm going to vote for John Federman because I feel like John Federman represents my, you know, the things that I believe in." And John Federman gets there.
Mike Smith: Yeah. My social situation, my civic situation, political situation, everything you you know, just the facets of your being a human.
Nathan Brady: Right.

00:51:19

Nathan Brady: Right. Right. And then John Federman gets there and quintuples his net worth and says, "Actually, I think I'm with these guys now." And we're all just like, "All right, that sucks. I
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Well, we'll find a better candidate. This voting thing is really working for us." Um,
Mike Smith: No, I mean it's it's very clear that it's easy once you are in the like voted into power. It's easy to stay there and to enrich yourself and your and your political allies in you.
Nathan Brady: right. Yeah. Yeah, it sure is.
Mike Smith: You just have to at the at the cost of everyone who put you there. And there's very little they can do because they can't galvanize around a different candidate to overtake you. That's the problem that we have with Nuome is that we're like I you and I are both very blue. Obviously, neither of us like Nome. Nuome does not represent us as Californians very well at all. But when you know Porsche comes to shove, do I like him better than Schwarzenegger as my my governor?

00:52:29

Mike Smith: Hell yes.
Nathan Brady: Yeah, of course.
Mike Smith: Jesus Christ.
Nathan Brady: Of course.
Mike Smith: What what a terrible comparison. Why can't we have somebody better?
Nathan Brady: Yeah, it's it's the it's the old lesser of two evils b******* that ends up with great, we have Joe Biden as president now.
Mike Smith: Why the It means you can't strike because the rail rays need to run.
Nathan Brady: Uh what does that mean for the working class? Are we better? Are we going to be better off? Is are things going to get better? Um Yeah.
Mike Smith: Um, so not not pro not pro you not proworker not uh not going to help people. Is that what I'm what I'm getting out of that?
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Exactly. Um I you do you wonder why she didn't win in the landslide?
Mike Smith: Wonder why Harris didn't win in a landslide.
Nathan Brady: Is that what you said? Yeah.
Mike Smith: I do wonder.
Nathan Brady: Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. I think we all know why.

00:53:18

Nathan Brady: And it's it's unfortunate. And you know we we had to fight off people that were saying it's all because of sexism. It's all because of racism. And I had to remind people first of all that we elected a man named Barack Hussein Obama. Barack Barack Hussein Obama Hussein.
Mike Smith: Look, sexism and racism are real and they impacted that election. No, no denying that at all.
Nathan Brady: No doubt. No doubt.
Mike Smith: The reason that she didn't win is because she didn't reach the eyes and ears of people like us who are working every day and not part of this upper oligarchy nonsense and say to you, "I'm going to make your life better if you elect me.
Nathan Brady: Right. Right. And by the way, we we both voted for her. That's not She She She re she she she reached us.
Mike Smith: God damn it. I voted for her. I voted for Clinton and I'm still pissed off.
Nathan Brady: I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't vote for Clinton, but I didn't have to.

00:54:11

Mike Smith: You're the reason she lost.
Nathan Brady: I live in California.
Mike Smith: No, no, she was. So, hold on. She won California by 180 billion votes.
Nathan Brady: Yeah.
Mike Smith: I don't know.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Exactly. Um she Well, I listen, I don't want to rehash old things. She didn't win a couple of states. I think it was Michigan and Wisconsin, states that she didn't even travel to while she was campaigning. Probably fine. Probably nothing.
Mike Smith: Now, I'll point out I will point out that Harris did travel to those states but also lost them.
Nathan Brady: Okay, go ahead. With But she brought somebody with her.
Mike Smith: Like Liz Cheney or some nonsense f****** god damn it.
Nathan Brady: There you go. There you go.
Mike Smith: God damn it.
Nathan Brady: That's That sold me. Did that that didn't sell you, Liz Cheney?
Mike Smith: Why are you showing this picture?
Nathan Brady: Um so um early next month um SNAP benefits will basically expire for um millions of Americans that um trying to feed their families.

00:54:51

Mike Smith: Why are you putting this on the people? What is this? Okay.
Nathan Brady: Um but today there was a meeting at the White House and and uh Donald Trump handed out some Donald Trump themed gifts to everybody. Um, uh, I don't know.
Mike Smith: Can they eat them? Is that edible?
Nathan Brady: I mean, they're going to probably We're going to have to try. There's going to be some Yeah.
Mike Smith: I have to boil it.
Nathan Brady: Um, look at the Look at this guy. Look at his Visas right there. Look at this idiot with his their phones open and there's got some cards sticking out over here. That's Bank of America with the chip right there.
Mike Smith: Yeah.
Nathan Brady: Anyway, um um what a dis guys.
Mike Smith: Right. Right. Sure. Yeah. Why are we taking pictures of this hat?
Nathan Brady: I'm sorry.
Mike Smith: Like Oh, I hate this identity politics nonsense.
Nathan Brady: Have you ever seen a hat like this before?

00:55:57

Mike Smith: It's so dumb. They're like, I want to take a picture of the hat.
Nathan Brady: Look.
Mike Smith: He signed a hat.
Nathan Brady: Oh, he signed the hat.
Mike Smith: Like, why do you give s*** about him signing a hat? Jesus Christ.
Nathan Brady: I mean, did you really Did this guy really need another uh another Trump autographed hat?
Mike Smith: Did he say thank you?
Nathan Brady: I I'm sure he did.
Mike Smith: I know JD is very big on that.
Nathan Brady: I'm sure JD I'm sure JD was I'm sure JD was sitting next to him making sure everybody said thank you on their way out.
Mike Smith: Gota gotta say thank you.
Nathan Brady: Let's end this.
Mike Smith: God.
Nathan Brady: Let's end this today.
Mike Smith: Let's be done.
Nathan Brady: I'm not I'm not I don't I'm not ready for anything else today.
Mike Smith: Let's be done.
Nathan Brady: There was the meeting with Trump and Zilinski where uh they got into a shouting match and basically it went as well as it did last time and basically Trump said you're going to give Putin what Putin wants and

00:56:37

Mike Smith: It went as well as it did last time.
Nathan Brady: that's where that ended.
Mike Smith: And Zilinsky said, "No, I'm not." And then he went back to Ukraine, which is always pretty funny.
Nathan Brady: Yeah. Um Right.
Mike Smith: I will say on that note that every time they have these meetings, whoever spoke to Trump last is the one who has like the the political advantage because that's who Trump is is going to be quoting. It's it's always been that way.
Nathan Brady: Um, yeah.
Mike Smith: It's like I got on the phone with Putin and here's what's going to happen. And then like nothing happens. He's like, I got on the phone with Zinsky and here's how it's going to happen. I'm gonna give him patriotism and like then it's just this nonsense. He's not going to commit to anything and he doesn't care.
