Speaker 1 (00:04):
Are you ready for a fun, informative, real experience. This
is the Fire Podcast. So I want to revisit the
Big Beautiful Bill. There are some bad things in there
and I want to get to them, so let's get
(00:26):
to it. Also, got a whole bunch of other news
and some exciting announcements for Freedom Cast Studios. Thank you
for listening and we will be right back on the
Fire Podcast. Welcome to the Fire Podcast. I know we've
(00:51):
been away for a bit of a break, but we
definitely have a lot of news to cover and of
course ours back announcement from Freedom Cast Studios. Do you
want to announce that right now or do you want
to do it at the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Let's go ahead and do it.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Actually, do you want to kind of describe our giveaway?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, So we're doing a giveaway of our previous microphone,
and in order to get a chance to win, you

dollars tip will get you an entry to winning the
microphone in the raffle. So also you could become a
(01:36):
subscriber and that will give you an entry as well.
So we're trying to bring some more spice to the
podcast and give away our old microphones. Suit thank our
people for listening and supporting us.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, that's uh. It's definitely really good for creators as well,
Like if you're a podcaster and a small time like
content creator, a microphone, especially like this kind of a
it's not too cheap of a microphone, but it's a
(02:16):
it's not the most expensive, but it's also really good quality.
I mean you can even listen to it. I mean
check it out. The the podcast has been recorded with
that mic like this entire time. So go check it out.
See how it sounds. It's wonderful audio. You can tip
(02:39):
at real Sean mcco. You can tip at real Sean mceu.
And yeah, that was that was our announcement. I just
wanted to offer you guys a microphone. I think that
would be pretty awesome. So let's get to some news
(03:04):
as well. Let's talk about the big beautiful bill. Of course,
there are things that I really like in it, the
tax cuts for middle class Americans, the border security part.
(03:25):
I don't like the funding to the Pentagon. Not saying
that we shouldn't fund them, but we should maybe investigate
them and see why a lot of that money is
going to waste before we send an extra one and
fifty billion dollars to them, because now the Pentagon budget
(03:46):
is what one point one trillion dollars. That's insane. Yeah,
I mean, I understand peace through strength, but right now
they're trying to achieve peace through waste, and it's just
a bunch of crap. I'm a little disappointed in Republicans honestly,
(04:10):
because Democrats didn't write this bill. AOC didn't well, she
can't write or read. AOC didn't have her staffers write
the bill. And so here's the crazy thing, guys, Marjorie
Taylor Green appears not to have read the bill. She
(04:31):
appears not to have read the bill because she said
she wouldn't have voted for it if she knew all
the crap that was in there, just allowing refusing to
allow states to make regulations toward AI giving them immunity
(04:57):
from basically basically immunity from being sued. So, I mean,
the AI takeover is honestly real, and some people can
be trusted with it. Some people can't be because in
some people's hand it becomes a neat tool for the
average American. But maybe some corporate guy would want to
(05:24):
invest money in building an AI to an AI robot
basically to replace everyone's jobs, And that's entirely possible, and
it makes in this bill makes that easier. What do
you think, Christina? Yeah? I agree. Do you think, like,
(05:48):
do you think that AI is a threat though, do
you think it's a oh do you think? Yeah? Like,
there are some good things about it, but it's also scary.
It is also scary. I was hearing about like an
AI that didn't that made its own language. Yeah, and
(06:10):
like it was two robots like talking to each other
in their own fucking language. That's insane. Yeah, totally. And
then just preventing states from making regulations. We don't even
know what this thing is capable yet. We haven't seen
we have probably seen a tiny little bit of what
(06:32):
they've actually got. I mean, AI actually can code, can
actually make games and make websites and shit. So we thought,
you know, computer jobs are probably safe. You know that's
the future, right, No, that's pretty much the past. The
(06:55):
future is neuralink and but not the future for everybody,
because it won't be creating very many jobs with a
robot drilling a hole into your head. I'm nervous about
that fucking rolling shit. I mean, I think it'd be awesome,
(07:19):
but I'd be nervous, Like when it comes time to
actually do it, I'm like, I know they're gonna fucking
put a hole in my head. It just kind of
it's a little overwhelming, feel what I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, I do, but I think it would be worth
it to be able to see.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, or to a kid who really doesn't want to
study for his math homework. Now you just use chat
GPT for that. Chatt chet GPT.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We should do another interview with chat chipet.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
That was kind of cool. That was kind of cool.
I wonder if I could do it with Grock voice.
What do you think? Well, wonder Groc has kind of
proven to be a little bit ignorant. Groc doesn't seem
to know that there was an attempt on Vladimir Putin's
(08:23):
life by the Ukrainians surrounding him by drones and it
was the worst drones strike in history. Didn't didn't even
fucking touch him. I mean, fuck Ukraine, dude. But uh,
and and Trump doesn't seem to know because that fact
(08:45):
has been mysteriously wiped from mainstream media. They're not talking
about it, and so of course that would make Ukraine,
make Russia want to ramp up strikes in Ukraine. Of
of course, the long range missiles that we're sending to
them to Ukraine is going to provoke them to send
(09:08):
more troops. And even North Koreans are fighting and dying
in the war in Ukraine. So if we go to Russia,
we probably also go to war with North Korea, probably China,
who knows, but Russia seems to maybe be distancing itself
from the communist Chinese Chinese Communist Party. These people are
(09:37):
just fucking worthless. I wonder does the Big Beautiful Bill
include funding for Ukraine. It probably does, huh.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I haven't heard that yet, but it probably does.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's a big pork bill. I want to get a
lot of that pork out. And Elon Musk was right.
I want to get that clip of Elon Musk real
quick talking about the Big Beautiful Bill. So I guess
Elon didn't talk about it publicly. He just tweeted about it.
(10:15):
But here's Speaker Mike Johnson's reaction to what Elon said.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Elon and I left on a great note. We were
texting one another, you know, happy text, you know, Monday,
and then uh and then yesterday, you know, twenty four
hours later, he doesn't want eighty and he comes out
and opposed the bill. And it surprised me, frankly. And
I don't take it personal. We don't take it personal.
You know, he's a policy differences are not personal. I
(10:43):
think he's he's flat wrong. I think he's he's way
off on this. And I've told him as much, and
and I've said it publicly and privately. I'm very consistent
in that. But am I concerned about affected this on
the midterms?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Let me tell you why. Because when the big beautiful
Bill is done and signed in a law, every single
American is going to do better.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Half true, half not. So let me break down the
big beautiful bill tax plan. So this also, this includes
the Trump tax cuts, it makes them permanent, and it
(11:21):
also lowers taxes on the average American by seventeen hundred
dollars per year. However, if you look at the numbers,
the rich are getting double of what we're getting. So
(11:41):
we're still getting something, but the rich are getting way
way more because corporate taxes are now going from twenty
one percent to was it fifteen percent? Right, yeah, fifteen percent,
(12:02):
and taxes on the middle class are going from fifteen
percent to twelve percent. Now, maybe taxing taxing the rich
is a bad idea, and lowering the tax rate is
good because it will bring in more jobs. However, there's
(12:24):
no guarantee that those companies are going to pay their
workers over you know, profits and stuff like that. So
you know that the richest among us are getting more
than us. So maybe that's because of the donors. Maybe
(12:49):
that's actually good economic strategy. I mean, we had an
economic boom when the first Trump tax cuts hit us.
It was also it was also really really effective on
(13:09):
the economy, the Trump tax cuts. I mean, weren't we
all better off when Trump was president? Wouldn't you say?
I would say yeah. I mean the stock market was up,
I mean until the man made COVID virus game and
function up. That's what happened to the Great Trump economy.
(13:37):
And it's pretty sad. So now there's criticism of the
Big Beautiful Bill. I mean, Thomas Massey and a couple
of other House Republicans were criticizing it. Wren Paul and
(14:00):
a few others in the Senate are criticizing it. But
it's clear Representative Marjorie Taylor Green did not read that
bill because she said that she would not have voted
for it if she knew what was in it. And
(14:23):
I hope it is modified. I hope that there are
some good modifications. And I hope that the Senate doesn't
want to eliminate the tax get rid of the no
tax on tips policy. I mean, it'd be too popular.
They would be fucked over in the midterms. But there's
(14:46):
still a possibility that they would do it. There still is.
But no taxes on tips and overtime is a really
really good idea and that kind of just generated a
lot of popularity party for Trump in the polls during
the election, and that's what really gave him the small
(15:07):
inside landslide. But if they now do nothing, they don't
pass the Doge cuts, they pass a massive spending bill,
I'm not sure if they can win and then the terms.
Not saying that the Democrats can win because they had
(15:28):
a new poll came out showing that they had a
nineteen percent approval rating. I mean, I don't think anyone
can win over a nineteen percent approval rating. They were
Liberals were scared because Joe Biden had a thirty six
percent approval rating and said that he couldn't win. So
(15:49):
what do you think they can do with nineteen? I mean,
just Democrats stop being cringe, stop being cringed up playing
identity politics. Go to like the good populist policies that
we can even agree on, Like paid family leave we
(16:11):
can agree on that. We can agree on, no taxes
on tips, right and over time, and social Security we
can also agree on. Let me think it's hard to
think of what we can agree on.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Remember on the Young Turks they have that rebellion pack
or something like that. Yeah, and there's like six policies
that are populous that people kind of agree on. Yeah,
you were saying the paid family leave. I think fifteen
dollars minimum wage.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean I see where fifteen dollars minimum wage can
kind of be harmful because it kind of forces companies
to pay more. And small businesses get hit the worst
with that, you know what I mean, They get hit
real hard if they've got to suddenly start paying their
(17:12):
employees fifteen dollars an hour rather than eleven, twelve dollars
an hour or however much they're getting paid, and it
varies by state. So and they were scared to do
(17:33):
it in New Mexico too because it wasn't the minimum
wage is like ten dollars and fifty cents and now
it's twelve dollars and fifty cents. They weren't nervous about
small businesses and a lot of small business that didn't
come back from COVID, So that was the wrong time
to implement the minimum wage policy. I would say, yeah, what,
(18:03):
what what do you think about the big, beautiful build
Like if you were in Congress or you with the president,
would you sign it? Would you vote for it?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't know even know there's some weird stuff in there,
right that's kind of hidden.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh yeah, I didn't bring that up. About the medical
experimentation and it allows uh, medical companies to perform experiments
on humans. So that's some bullshit. I mean, there they've
been experiment they've still been experimenting on us with what
(18:37):
and especially like with antidepressants and uh, it's kind of
those types of medications that affect your brain. That's really
just a fucking experiment if you really think about it. Yeah,
because they don't know that this is gonna work and
(18:57):
a lot of times it doesn't for a lot of people. Yeah,
it doesn't. But yeah, medical experimentation is crazy, and they're
talking about adding that. They're adding that in a Big
(19:18):
Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, And I think it's also kind of weird that
they are giving AI so much freedom if you can't
even states don't have ability to regulate what goes on.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's right. Yeah, that's kind of scary.
But I wondered, like, is that helping Elon? Is that
something that Elon really likes? And I'm wondering, Like Mike
Johnson made a point. I don't know where it's at,
(19:50):
but he made a point. He said that in the
Big Beautiful Bill, they're taking off the seventy five dollars
that you get from buying get off from buying an
electric car, So they're taking those subsidies out. And Mike
Johnson says that Elon is mad about that, but he's
(20:13):
Elon is right about the spending the big pork. It's
not good. I mean, we can't afford it with our debt.
We can't. It's just it. I mean, it just kind
of astounds me how much debt we're in and then
I looked at it and it said, like the US
(20:37):
national debt is twelve trillion, but the debt of the
people in the country is like twenty two trillion or
whatever whatever the math is to add to thirty six.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But and it costs a trillion dollars just a service
it each year.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
What a service it means? Like you who knows?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Wondering that too?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is where we spend on the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's a lot of money to service our debt.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
And what that really means is China saying you'll give
me your money or I kill you. I'd kill your contract,
kill you. And then they're like, all right, China, we'll
just suck some dick and give you a trillion dollars.
What is it? I don't even know how that works.
Maybe that's just like the interest. I wonder if it's
(21:28):
just the interest. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I don't understand that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
If we're just paying the interest, who knows. Is there
is there something that you think you would want to
talk about on the podcast? Uh? Anything. It doesn't have
to be about politics. It can be about like food.
It can be the experiences.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You've had or I'm excited to go to olive guard tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, that's gonna be awesome. We have our.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Weekly date with my parents, so we get to see
them once in a while. It's really fun.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, thankful for that. Of course.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I want to take a break and come back to it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, you know, let's take a break and we'll come
back in just a second. Thank you. Welcome back to
the Fire podcast. I wanted to talk a little bit
about a little bit more about the escalation of the
war in Ukraine. So, as I mentioned, mainstream news is
(22:43):
not covering the attempted assassination of Vladimir Putin and Trump.
Here's the thing. Trump mainly watches uh, mainstream news, reads
(23:04):
the papers, watches Fox News a lot. They haven't covered it.
I mean shit, if you really want accurate news, go
to Alex Jones. Like he knows a ship. Like he might,
he might act like a fool sometimes and I like it,
but he fucking knows his ship. He's been a He's
(23:27):
been right about a lot of things. Nine to eleven,
freaking spider goats, fucking Bohemian grove, dude, sneaking in there,
and ship. When I grew up, When I grow up,
I want to be like Alex Jones sneaking into the
fucking Bohemian Grove. Klaus schwablego, Klaus Schwable, be in there
(23:51):
just now. We have a life sacrifice to sacrifice stoody out.
So weird the fucking owl statue. I don't get it,
Like it sounds fucking made up. It's so ridiculous that
it sounds fucking made up.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So crazy, that's true.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, it's fucking insane. I don't like. And it's creepy too,
like with the effigy, with the effigy and shit, like
that whole documentary that Alex Jones made, Like, oh, I
want to check it out one more time.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, do they still do that every year? Like does
Trump go?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And I don't know if Trump think, Yeah it is.
There was a film of the ritual in the twenty
twenty four Bohemian Growth. I think it's from like July
twenty second to the twenty eighth, Like, I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh, it's a couple of weeks in July.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, Yeah, I think it's a couple of weeks in July. Yeah,
might might be more than one, but yeah, it's in
July every year. Shit, we got talking about fucking Bohemian
grove and ship.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Dipped into it again.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah. That's what I like about the podcast. You can
kind of dip into something and then cover it more
on another show. Revisit it, revisit it. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
I wanted to. I wanted to get back into Ukraine
(25:39):
because Trump seems to be unaware that the escalation is
going on and it's being basically perpetrated by NATO and
the Ukraine and the Ukrainian dictator. So I wanted to
(25:59):
play of President Trump. You know, I'm just saying, I
don't know why he would do this. He's going, we're
trying to do yeah, oh yeah, sure, yeah, let's clip. Okay,
so here's the clip on Russia can Ukraine as well?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Ye, I'll give you an update. I'm not happy with
what Putin's doing. He's killing a lot of people, and
I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've
known him a long time, always gotten along with him,
but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and
I don't like it at all. Okay, we're in the
middle of talking and he's shooting rockets into Kiev and
other cities. I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Ratherident what do you.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Want to do about I'm surprised. I'm very surprised. We'll
see what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You mentioned you're unhappy with President Putin. You've talked before
about putting more sanctions on Russia. Is that something you're
considering more?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Absolutely, he's killing a lot of people. I don't know
what's wrong with him. What the hell happened to him? Right,
He's killing a lot of people. I'm not happy about that.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So I would say that's not spoken out of ignorance,
it's just spoken out of Trump's got a lot of
people filtering what he sees, filtering his daily briefs, daily briefings.
So there are definitely traders in the Trump administration, lots
(27:29):
of turds in the punch bowl, if you will. So
Trump is just trying to create peace, and he is
missing the information about Putin and the assassination attempt. But
(27:55):
also the long range missiles kind of are are something
that would provoke Putent. So NATO is not helping the situation.
We need to immediately remove ourselves from it. That we've
been supporting them for too long, and shit, if we
(28:20):
go against Russia. Then it's going to be a nuclear war.
It will be World War three and it will not
be pretty. Trust me. Nuclear radiation will kill everybody, even
the globalists. And they're bunkers. They think they can hide,
(28:46):
but they can't hide, not forever. They only they can
only have so many supplies, but they won't. You know,
it won't be enough for their lifetimes. But anyway, what
do you think, Christina? Do you think Trump knows about it?
(29:09):
Do you think he's ignorant or what? Do you what
do you think?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I think it was kind of like not brought to
his attention right away, but I think he knows now
that there was an attack on food like that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, but I wonder who is filtering that information, right.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
And why they're sneaking all this weird stuff into the
Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, like who put that in there? Yeah? Of course
it wasn't any member of Congress. It was you know,
one of their staffers. Of course, that's how Congress operates.
I just hope there's no fucking funding for Ukraine and
the Big Beautiful Bill. I like a lot of components
(30:04):
about it. I like the border security, I like the
savings from middle income Americans. I like. I even maybe
I could even get to like the UH tax cuts
for the rich. If it ended up trickling down to
the American people, I wouldn't mind that. But so far
(30:25):
that really hasn't happened very well. It hasn't trickled down
very well.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
No, people hold on to their money.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, especially if they're rich or even close to rich,
seven hundred thousand or whatever, million, we'll still hold on
to it. They don't pay their workers very well. I
mean they use Chinese sweatshops, Chinese labor where they got
(30:57):
people in the apple factories jumping on off jumping off
of bridges and shit like that, and.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
A net around the building so people couldn't do that
or something because it was happening so much.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh, it wasn't the bridge, it was a building they
were jumping. They climbed off up to the roof and
they jumped off the damn building. And they put a
freaking net. You think that's the solution, Just like there
was somebody who killed themselves today, Like I don't really
wonder why, but let's just put a net under there
so that doesn't happen again. Maybe not, Oh well, maybe
(31:33):
we'll reevaluate how we're paying our workers. Maybe we'll reevaluate
how much, how many hours they have. Maybe we maybe
we will try to give you know, people therapy to
get people help before they killed themselves. But no, just
put it, put a net. It'll solve the problem. No,
(31:57):
it doesn't. It doesn't solve the problem. It just solves
the problem for you. So you don't have a fucking
mestic clean that's what it is. Yeah, and it's pretty
fucked up. But if we got our phones made in America,
(32:17):
they'd be much much more expensive, do you know that? Yeah,
so how about we just use cheap Mexican Mexican labor.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Well, if everybody's doing better, they could afford to pay
a little better too, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
True, But I don't think people will be doing like
that much better to be able to pay how very
much it would cost. But I think Apple makes a
lot of profits, so maybe they could drop their costs.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Pay their workers better, treat it better so that they're
not jumping off a fucking building.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, but they can also like, they can also cut
some from their profits too to make the iPhones and
the iPads and stuff like that sell better. And that's
called business, and that's called capitalism. But the Chinese labor,
(33:26):
Chinese sweatshops and shit, that's crony capitalism. That's not that's
not what our country was built on.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
What I think would be interesting is look up what
capitalism actually means, unlike chat GPT or.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Something chat GPT. I went to an interview with Ai
Let's do it tomorrow, Oh on the next podcast? Yeah
sounds good, Let's do it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Listening to the Charlie Kirk podcast, and they're saying about
capitalism like people don't even really know what it means.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I don't either. I think it basically means, you know,
free enterprise, free government, free like the freedom to expand
your business and expand your wealth, but also, you know,
have the freedom for other people to have the freedom
(34:34):
to survive and succeed as well by working hard and
making their way in life. You know what I mean.
That's what I consider it to be. And socialism is
basically the opposite. I think there are some elements of
(34:56):
like what people who claim to be social lists talk about,
but socialism is not good. It's not It hasn't ended
well for anybody. Look at Cuba, look at Venezuela. Look
at a lot of different countries. Look at Russia, who
(35:19):
tried socialism and communism didn't work. People suffered, people died.
The Chinese Communist Party is by far the worst.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
So they communists in China and Russia.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
They used to be, they used to be.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
So what is it now?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Pretty much capitalists, I would say, But they're no longer
run by communists. The Soviet Union was destroyed by Ronald Reagan,
and he demonstrated peace through strength very very well.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I would say, oh, yeah, we're gonna go watch that
Reagan movie. But we never never did.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
No, we didn't need to go to movie theaters watch
a movie. We haven't done that forever. Fuck that.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
No, last time you went to go see Cocaine Bear.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
On your own? Yeah, I got super high toothed like
because I knew I could like ride up in the
movie theaters or nothing. So I got super fucking high.
I took a gummy and I went outside and hit
my fucking pin and went to go see Cocaine Bear.
Do you use the headphones? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
They have good audio description.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah that's cool, that's funny. Somebody I was telling somebody
I was gonna go see Cocaine Bear, and they were like,
you must be bored. I was like, fuck, I am,
I am bored, So I'm gonna go watch fucking Cocaine Bear.
(37:03):
It was crazy. The dude just ate all the cocaine.
Didn't some of the kids eat it too. Oh you
didn't watch it. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I just heard a little bit of it. I think
we watched it a little bit at your mom's and
I heard a little bit about mister Ballance.
