Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And when you are out there at this moment, this
rocket feels like it is alive.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It feels like it is a living lunding.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Right and there's the game try pulling back and this.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
Right here is the moment that they've been training.

Speaker 5 (00:16):
For, training two.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Days, becoming a crew, becoming a team.

Speaker 6 (00:23):
A crew.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
After you go through an experience like this, it's it's
more than a team.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
It's almost like a family.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Who are so tight to go through something as intense
actual you know.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You said, this is like a bridled beast. This this
then wants to take on which to onboard helium.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Here we go, good luck and god speed, ladies were
tearing here on.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Let's launch those rocket. Gail King, you are officially an astronaut.
How do you feel?

Speaker 7 (00:57):
I still can't accept that word, but I will says,
I can't even believe what I saw. When somebody calls
us a ride, this was not a ride. This was
what happened to us was not a ride. This was
a bona fide freakin' flight. And our instructor we were
so well prepared, so every noise we heard, we knew.
But the flight instructor said that I am her best

(01:18):
success story. Why, because she's never had somebody go through
the course who's terrified of flying bluing. Everybody who's gone
through the course is somebody that it's been a lifelong dream.
They wanted to do it, so she said, I'm her
best success stor I'm so proud of me.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
All right now, just gonna can't believe it. I still
can't believe. This whole journey is not just about going
to space. It's the training, it's the team, it's the
whole thing. We weren't just taking up space.

Speaker 8 (01:47):
We were making space for the future and for me,
like Gale said, this wasn't a ride. Who wasn't a destination.
It was a journey and it was a supernatural one.
You'll never know the amount of love that you have
inside of you to give and to receive until the

(02:08):
day you launch.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Mere these women.

Speaker 9 (02:24):
Lay you are the wily mind.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Standing Ground is a production of Lakey Media.

Speaker 10 (03:03):
T minus sixty seconds in counting, we passed T minus
sixty fifty five seconds and counting. Neil Armstrong just reported
back it's been a real smooth contown. We passed a
fifty second month. Power transfer is complete or on internal
power with the launch vehicle at this time forty seconds
away from the Apollo eleven liftoff. All the second stage

(03:27):
tanks now pressurized thirty five seconds and counting. We are
still go with Apollo eleven thirty seconds and counting. Ast
tonuts report it feels good. Tmuntus twenty five seconds, twenty
seconds in counting t amount us fifteen seconds. Guidance is

(03:49):
internal twelve eleven ten nine. Ignition sequence starts six five, four,
three two one. They're all all engine running liptog. We
have a liptob thirty two minutes past the hour, looks

(04:10):
off on a Follow eleven.

Speaker 11 (04:15):
Power laid. You were gonna roll program, Neil Armstrong reporting
the role at your program? Would you put your follow
eleven on a proper heading US thirty seconds.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Run complete hand am in approgramor.

Speaker 12 (04:47):
Round one.

Speaker 13 (04:50):
Provo is a upward control mode and elatus two miles.
Oh I Huton, you're good at one minute.

Speaker 14 (05:04):
In down range one mile, altitude three four miles now
velocity twenty one hundred and ninety five feet per second.

Speaker 15 (05:24):
In the interest of full disclosure, I had to take
I had to really do a lot of soul searching
as to how I was going to address this as
some have described a henfest surrounding this Blue Origin flight.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But let me preface by this what you just heard.

Speaker 15 (05:51):
There was the launch of Apollo eleven on July sixteenth,
nineteen sixty nine. Four days later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin would walk on the Moon and return to Earth

(06:12):
and be able to talk about it and share their
experience with us. Those three men on that trip, Buzz Aldrin,
Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins who remained in the command
module while the other two went down, they were astronauts,

(06:33):
They were men of steel.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
They put their lives on the line. Literally.

Speaker 15 (06:42):
The story is actually no, It was in his book,
Neil Armstrong's book, First Man, If You had a chance.
They made the movie with Ryan Gosling and it was
pretty bad, but the book is good where he was
told you got about a fifty percent chance of making it,

(07:05):
and you have about a twenty percent chance of making
it back alive with a wife and two sons. And
they said, you know this is voluntary, you don't have
to do it, and he did it anyway. But even
before that launch, which was the big goal, there were

(07:28):
many before them who lost their lives, put their lives
on the line and did.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Really dangerous shit.

Speaker 15 (07:38):
Because at that point in time, if you look in
the context of the nineteen sixties and now, space travel
was a complete unknown. When Alan Shepard took off in
May and nineteen sixty one on the Redstone Rocket, they
did not know what was going to happen.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
He did not know.

Speaker 15 (08:02):
They were a different breed. Now that breed evolved right
into the era of the Space Shuttle, but even then,
these were individual Space Shuttle astronauts who went through intensive
training and a lot of them were had aviation backgrounds
or whatever. Yes, we've had women in space before. It's

(08:24):
happened before. We had a woman who commanded the Space Shuttle,
Sally Ryde, the first woman to American woman to go
into space when in.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Nineteen eighty two.

Speaker 15 (08:36):
So I know, I'm sounded like a I'm kind of
bean like a Rubik's cube of emotions here, But what
it comes down to is they're making a big deal
out of nothing. And what these six women did was,
I'll say it, they hoard themselves out to Jeff Bezos

(08:59):
for a felicity stunt. I saw there was a magazine
cover that had them in their designer suits and it
said for all women kind. I thought I was gonna puke,
so yeah, I did. I coined a phrase. It's terrible,
and I referred to them as astro sluts. Sorry, when

(09:25):
when you whether you are a male, a female, whatever,
if you if you do something in public and you
make an ass out of yourself or talk about yourself
and you sound like an ass, I'm gonna go to
the lowest common denominator. Now, astro sluts is pretty pretty

(09:45):
imp too, So I will give you that and through
today's program, I'm gonna sound pretty misogynistic. But you know what,
I'm in good company and you know who, I'm in
good company with women and I've got the audio to
prove it that are rolling their eyes.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
But anyway, astro sluts, that's pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I think.

Speaker 15 (10:10):
Orbit horse might be better. Okay, rocket skanks. Sorry, that's terrible.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
I know all right.

Speaker 15 (10:17):
I'm Jeremy Lay. This is Standing Ground. This is MOJO
five our radio. Welcome to Spaceport Wednesday, as we pick
apart the incredible journey of these six women that broke
the barrier, did whatever they're trying to they're claiming to
have done, and also our friend in El Salvador is

(10:40):
still in the news where the Democrats are trying to
go down and bring back a violent individual. We've got
that on the table as well. All right, I'm Jeremy Lay.
This is standing Ground. This is Mojo five our radio.
The one thing quickly because I'm gonna open with a
sound bite. Like I said, these women are not astronauts,
the astronauts of the golden era of space travel, which

(11:03):
is long gone because it's it's much safer than it
used to be. To kind of put things into perspective,
they when they got back, they didn't go around telling
everybody how great they were. These men they do interviews
and stuff, but they wouldn't walk around with kind of
put a halo around their heads. They were very, very courageous,

(11:26):
but modest individuals.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
This is different.

Speaker 15 (11:31):
They they it's like going on a roller coaster and
coming off and expecting to get a ticker tape parade. No, no,
all right, I'm Jerreman Lay. This is standing ground. This
is Mojo Fiber Radio. My emails Standing around one seven

Let's get going.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
The ghostly image was beyond unwreas Armstrong paused on the
bottom rung of the ladder.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
On the step off the lamba, and planted his left
boot on the lunar dust.

Speaker 16 (12:09):
One small step for man, one by.

Speaker 12 (12:15):
A plant man.

Speaker 11 (12:18):
Do you recall how you came up with that a
small step for a man? What was the inspiration for it?

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Why?

Speaker 17 (12:25):
I thought, well, when I step off, I'm just going
to be a little step, and we stepped from there
down to there. But then I thought about all those
four hundred thousand people that had given me the opportunity
to make that step, and thought, it's going to be
a big something for all those folks, and indeed a

(12:47):
lot of others that even weren't involved in the project.

Speaker 11 (12:50):
So it was a kind of a simple correlation. Thoughts.
You sometimes seem uncomfortable with your celebrity. You'd rather not
have all of this attention. No, I just don't deserve it.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
But look how many people have walked on them twelve
You were the first.

Speaker 16 (13:09):
You were chosen to do that, that's special.

Speaker 13 (13:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (13:11):
I wasn't chosen to be first. I was just chosen
to come in that flight.

Speaker 17 (13:16):
Circumstance put me in that particular role that wasn't planned
by anyone.

Speaker 18 (13:22):
Fly me to the moon, Let me play among the stars,
let me see what spring is like on a j've
putter and Mars.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
In other words, hold my hand.

Speaker 18 (13:45):
In other words, baby, kiss me, fill my heart with
song and let me sing forever?

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Are you are all I long for?

Speaker 11 (14:05):
All worship?

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Here the door.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
You're listening to standing ground with Jeremy, Lady, I want to.

Speaker 19 (14:18):
Express on behalf of us all the great pleasure we
have and welcoming Command of Shepherd and Missus Shepherd here today.
I think they know, as citizens of this great country,
how proud we are of him, what satisfaction we take
in his accomplishment, what a service he has rendered our country.

(14:41):
And we're also very proud of Missus Shepherd. I know
that the other members of this team who are astronauts
know that our pride in them is equal. They have
been part of this effort from the beginning. Command of
Shepherd has pointed out from the time that this flight
began and from the this flight was a success, that

(15:02):
this was a common effort in which a good many
men were involved. And I think it does a credit
to him that he is associated with such a distinguished
group of Americans when we are all glad to honor
today his companions in the.

Speaker 16 (15:17):
Flight to out of space.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
I don't like that people are calling a ride a ride.
You know, you never see a man, a male astronaut
who's going up in space.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
And they said, oh, we called a rod.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
We actually duplicated the route that Alan Shepherd did.

Speaker 7 (15:31):
Oh that's why it's called this particular capsules called a
new Shepherd.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
We duplicated that room, that route. No one said he.

Speaker 20 (15:39):
Took that ride.

Speaker 7 (15:40):
It's always referred to as a flight or a journey.
So I feel that that's a little disrespectful to what
their condition.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Was and what the work that Glue Origin does does.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
We use space technology all the time, whether it's your GPS,
whether it's your satellite.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
That doesn't just happen every time a flight goes up.

Speaker 7 (15:57):
They get some type of information. Two of the stats.
I still have a hard time calling myself an aspect.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
I'd buy that for a dollar.

Speaker 15 (16:09):
I look, I don't think that Gail King can be
expected to be invited to the White House for a
outside the Oval office ceremony like Jack Kennedy did with
Alan Shepard, because Gail King and the others, by today's standards,
did not do anything really remarkable.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
They just think they did.

Speaker 15 (16:28):
Have you guys ever seen the movie The Right Stuff,
based on the book by Tom Wolf. Well, there's a
scene in the movie. I got a quick cut here
I want to play for you. There was a scene
in the movie where it's a true story, but they
had to you know, there was a back channel and
Alan Shepard was sitting on the pad waiting to have

(16:49):
his ass set on fire and once again had no
idea what was going to happen. And he said this
to ground control. Well they heard it. He didn't try it.
He they overheard him. He wasn't He wasn't intending for
them to hear it. He overheard they overheard him, and uh,
this is how it was portrayed in the movies.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Very funny.

Speaker 11 (17:09):
Do your Lord please go let me fuck up?

Speaker 15 (17:14):
Yes, seriously, I mean that's h The actor Scott Glenn,
who played Alan Shepard in the film All Right, Back
to Blue origin, or maybe we could we could do
it this way, Hanau.

Speaker 21 (17:26):
Another controvertible episode of starring luritious Captain link Punk Throw
the Gluttonless Personiggy all Right, the asuriance on Doctor Julius
Straight episode.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Gail King, you are officially an astronaut? How do you feel?

Speaker 7 (17:48):
I still can't accept that word, but I will say
it's I I can't even believe what I saw When
somebody calls us a ride.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
This was not a ride.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
This was what happened to us was not a ride.
This was a bona fide freaking flight.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
And our instructor we were so well prepared, so every
noise we heard, we knew. But the flight instructor said
that I am her best success story. Why because she's
never had somebody go through the course who's terrified of flying, bluing.
Everybody who's gone through the course is somebody that it's
been a lifelong dream.

Speaker 20 (18:18):
They wanted to do it.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
So she said I'm her best successor. Oh, I'm so
proud of me. All right, now we're just gonna can't
believe it. I still can't believe.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Oh, I'd buy that for a dollar A bunch of
Joan of arcs, and it's like it's.

Speaker 15 (18:37):
So obvious, and I think actually things have begun to
mollify a little bit.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
I think they're getting the message.

Speaker 11 (18:45):
You know.

Speaker 15 (18:46):
Another thing I noticed on launch day, okay, is going
back to my original point that this is just not
a big deal.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Now, it's like getting on.

Speaker 15 (18:56):
A roller coaster. Well, first of all, they're not astronauts
and they're not crew. They're passengers. The Magnificent the Magnificent
seven they called them, the original Mercury astronauts who put
their asses on the line. Actually had to pilot their craft.
They had to maneuver it with a with a joystick,

(19:17):
they had to work switches. They immense, immense training, unbelievable
amount of training. They were they most of them came
out of Yeah, they came out of the military, former
fighter pilots, that.

Speaker 11 (19:27):
Kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's what they wanted and that they that they needed.

Speaker 15 (19:33):
But apart from that, okay, there is at some point
politics and science and art somehow interdigitate. They all come together,
and this coverage here, I mean, someone I think I
have a cut here in a moment where Sunny Williams,
who's lives not too far from where I do who

(19:55):
was stuck in space for nine months comes back and
she barely gets any any coverage at all.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
These women went out to the.

Speaker 15 (20:01):
Launch pad, they had their makeup done, they had their
their hair was all perfect. They I love how they
went out in the transport vehicle to bring them to
the pad, like it was like again, like it's Apollo
all over again now. But the political aspect of it, right,
I asked myself this question, what if we were to

(20:25):
take all these women now the two big offenders of
I'm So Great?

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Is really Katy Perry and.

Speaker 15 (20:35):
Well Sanchez Jeff Bezos girlfriend there and Katy Perry and
Gail King, They're the three main sort of just shut up,
you know, seriously, just just just get over yourselves.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
You know you're nothing great.

Speaker 15 (20:49):
But anyway, the political aspect of it is, let's take
those six quote astronauts' names and change their names to
the following going up on the Blue Origin today together
Pam Bondy, Laura Ingram, Kelly and Conway, Carolyn Levitt and

(21:13):
Coulter and Candice Owens. Do you honestly think that you
would turn on the news and see live coverage of
the first all female crew going into space.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
I think not.

Speaker 15 (21:33):
Okay, like myself. Others are weighing in on this and
are criticizing it, a lot of women.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Now I don't know who this is.

Speaker 15 (21:43):
I just know she's very funny. This was in my
ex feed, So have a listen to this. This is hysterical.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Watching it actually just made my toes curl.

Speaker 22 (21:52):
It was like watching I've always hated hen parties, and
this just looked like.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
The worst one on the planet.

Speaker 22 (22:00):
They all got into their sort of designer jumpsuits like
power rangers, and then they all got into a massive
rocket designed by Anne Summers I think vibrated itself up

(22:25):
to this stratosphere to rim space. I'm only surprised somebody
didn't open a bottle of prosecco while they were up
and yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
That was Are we surprised? It was only an eleven
minute ride though, But.

Speaker 22 (22:40):
The fact that they called themselves this is the women
on Jeff Bezos's rocket. The fact that they called themselves
crewe as well, they weren't crewe. They weren't they were
they were hand luggage.

Speaker 15 (22:51):
She's she's she's very funny, but she she hit the
nail right on the head. Please just please, it's you know,
there's spacesuits in there. Oh please, Well anyway, okay, because
I did tell you we've been misogynistic today, I would
so if this was like a live coverage of the

(23:15):
Blue Origin Magnificent six being launched.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Today's coverage is brought to you by.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Plateex Clean Comfort.

Speaker 23 (23:23):
Okay, a new tampon that combines cardboard and plastic, all right,
for the same comfort with last weight.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, better for the planet. It's better for us, made
better every day.

Speaker 15 (23:34):
All right, lay he knock it off. Hey, there's been
a hold in the countdown, so we're going to take
a quick break.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
We'll be right back. You don't need a prescription to
treat a East infection.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Introducing the first and only three dose ovule insert from Monostat,
it broadly stays.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
In place, delivering prescriptions strange medication.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Directly to the East infection the new Monastat three ovule
combination path.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
There's no better cure. Okay, it is a I have
now been condemned to Dante's inferno. That's it. I'm going
to damnation. I really am all right. Well, moving on right.

Speaker 9 (24:08):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (24:10):
Megan Kelly, who I like very much, she's very Bright.
She has a great podcast. I really enjoy listening to her.
Well she was she had sort of the same position
as I did, though she didn't go off the deep end,
but she was.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Commenting on the whole thing.

Speaker 15 (24:28):
But what she I'm gonna play you at cut here
and this is there were there were two narrators. You know,
at the beginning of the program, you heard the guy
you know, you know, Neil Armstrong reporting everything back. They
were all they were all like professional technical people and
things like that. One of them was from ESPN and

(24:48):
the other one was from I think formerly CNN. They're
professional news announcers.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
They're not they're not scientists or not whatever.

Speaker 15 (24:55):
And the when they're when they were when they were
doing the pre launching, the coverage and all that, they
tried to sound so pollyannic, like this big event and
Megan Kelly played it and then I want you and
then I'm gonna play you Megan Kelly's reaction.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
But listen to this ship.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
When you are out there at this moment, this rocket
feels like it is alive. It feels like it is
a living London a thing, right.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
And there's the game try pulling back and this.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Right here is the moment that they've been training for two.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Days, becoming a crew, becoming a team.

Speaker 13 (25:36):
A crew.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
After you go through an experience like this, it's it's
more than a team. It's almost like a family who
are so tight to go through something as intense actual
you know, you said, this is like a bridled beast.
This this thing wants to take which.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
To onboard Helium. Here we go, good luck and God's ladies,
we're cheering here on let's launch.

Speaker 24 (26:03):
This termination system is armed.

Speaker 15 (26:05):
A bridle beast. No, it's not a bridle beast. The
Saturn five rocket was a bridle beast when that when
that thing, when that thing took off, the shock waves
went on doubt the entire coast of Florida and shook
people's furniture.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Never mind, never mind the balls it took to get
on top of that thing.

Speaker 15 (26:23):
But anyway, that's another we've kind of we've passed that
now point we've crossed over.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
But anyway, there's the cut.

Speaker 15 (26:30):
Now, Meghan Kelly's reaction to this, you're gonna hear me
laughing along with her because as they play the cut,
because she's very funny about it.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
How ridiculous this whole thing is all right.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Uh, oh my god, they're training.

Speaker 25 (26:44):
They did two days and I asked my team to
pull Like, what did they do during their two days? Okay,
here they are. They're tasks. They spent the past two
days at facilities for Blue Origin going over preparations. According
to Blue Orige Air on Cornell. Their tasks concluded practicing

(27:06):
how to get into and out of the.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
New Shepherd taps go in, then then you go out
once again, ladies. Okay.

Speaker 25 (27:21):
The group also practiced how to put on and take
off their seatbelts.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm dying.

Speaker 20 (27:30):
I'm dying.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Let me see if there's anything else. Oh, they had
to get fitted in their flight suits.

Speaker 24 (27:37):
Guys.

Speaker 25 (27:37):
They had to get fitted and they had to learn
how to communicate with ground control.

Speaker 11 (27:43):
That.

Speaker 25 (27:44):
Okay, this is what's so funny about it to me.
First of all, these two nitwits talking about.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
The training they've been through, that all their training, It
all comes down to this.

Speaker 25 (27:56):
Secondly, isn't that was like astronaut training the universal phrase
for something that's extremely physically taxing on you.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
They used to like stick the astronauts.

Speaker 26 (28:08):
In these booths and like put it like make it
sub zero temperatures and then make them super confused they
couldn't like perform simple tasks anymore, and then like make
their hearing go away. They would deprive you sensory deprivation,
one sense.

Speaker 20 (28:22):
After the other.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
And that's like part of the And now it's like
they had to learn how to get in.

Speaker 25 (28:28):
Get in and out, but they dressed it up on
the one thing by saying.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
They had to learn egress and ingress.

Speaker 25 (28:35):
That's astronaut talk, click in and out out their seatbelts.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
And then the other girls going on about how.

Speaker 25 (28:46):
After you go through an experience like that, you are
more than a team, you are family. That egress and
ingress and seatboat buckling them lying down in your Oscar
de la.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Renta suit, give me a break.

Speaker 15 (29:05):
They they said they spent more time having their hair
and their makeup.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Done than they did do egress training. I mean seriously.

Speaker 15 (29:16):
Oh, by the way, just as a sidebar for a moment,
Jeff Bezo's girlfriend wife whatever. With the plastic surgery, you
may want to put the chisel down. You are approaching
paper machet at this point. But anyway, that's just that's just.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Me, okay.

Speaker 15 (29:29):
Well, during during that that same broadcast making Kelly head
on a guest.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
I don't know his name.

Speaker 15 (29:36):
Once again, sometimes they forget to put their names up
in the bottom and I don't see it. But he
was pretty funny and he made he made a really
good point.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Listen to this.

Speaker 27 (29:43):
Just a few weeks ago, actual astronauts who got stranded
in space for months, floating around in weightless condition, not
in this you know, luxury vehicle, were rescued by another
rocket and brought back to Earth.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
And it hardly that's.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Made splash on the media.

Speaker 27 (30:01):
These people have already gotten fifty times the publicity that
those you know, those heroes, and the person who rescued
them got.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeahs an eon right.

Speaker 27 (30:13):
Fazos basically put his girl, his girlfriend and her pals
into a giant vibrator, shot them into orbit for ten minutes,
and they came back telling.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
All about the thrill.

Speaker 27 (30:24):
We've got everything upside down, and if women get any
more empowerment of this sort, they're going to be denied
the right to vote.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Well, the.

Speaker 15 (30:35):
Interesting thing was is that as as the criticism was
coming in from around the globe from yes, like I've said,
a lot of women, they kept pouring kerosene on the
fire and making things worse upon themselves with their interviews
and things that came out of their mouths.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Listen to Katie Perry, this whole journey is not just
about going to space.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
It's the training, it's the team, it's the whole thing.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
We weren't just taking up space. We were making space
for the future. And for me, like Gale said, this
wasn't a ride, it wasn't a destination. It was a
journey and it was a supernatural one. You'll never know
the amount of love that you have inside of you
to give and to receive until the day you launch.

Speaker 28 (31:36):
This is.

Speaker 29 (31:40):
They really do.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
They really?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
They really think they've made like major history here.

Speaker 15 (31:56):
Okay, honestly, I'm I mean, I could talk about this
shit all day. I mean, you could take so many
different angles on it. The media's coverage everything, and it is.
I do want to say this because I've brought this
up before. When I when I see a story, say,

(32:19):
for instance, about these these ladies, I don't want you
to think that I think that they're bad people. They're
not bad people. It's just they're making themselves out to
be something that they are not. And that's what that's
what's really irritating about it. And that's where I importune
the ridicule, that's where that's where it comes from in
my brain.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
That's just me, okay.

Speaker 15 (32:43):
But when I see the other day I said, I
saw was as they are an inspiration to young women
all around the world. That is that has always been
the thing they love to use, that kind of headline
or byline if you will, or the marquis uh she
is they are an inspiration to young women all around

(33:03):
the world. I don't know what they did that would
lead to them being an inspiration. It's fun, it's neat,
it's cool, but they didn't really overcome any great odds
or do anything incredible. I've said this before about Michelle Obama.
There always go around about how great she is, and

(33:26):
I'm like, well, great for what? How is she inspired
young women? Once again, I don't particularly care for her,
but I don't think she's a bad person. But what
has she done? And I always use the prime example,
and it was a guest on this show and her
name was Bethany Hamilton. Bethany Hamilton at age twelve was

(33:54):
what she was surfing since she was about two, and
she was out. She lived in Hawaii and she was
out paddling waiting for a wave to come in, and
a tiger shark came up and ripped her arm off.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Her left arm. I believe, yes, I think I got
that right.

Speaker 15 (34:12):
And the doctors told her, well, you know, you're lucky
to be alive, but you can say you can say
goodbye to surfing.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
It's not gonna happen anymore.

Speaker 15 (34:21):
And she pretty much, within several weeks of getting out
of the hospital missing an arm, was determined to get
up on that surfboard again. She wouldn't give up, and
she did it. She is an inspiration, a real inspiration.
I mean she's in her thirties now. I had her

(34:43):
on the show, I interviewed her. She was a good
interview mother of three now and who still lives in Hawaii.
And and by the way, she did get a lot
of press, and she did get a lot of attention,
but it was warranted. It made sense.

Speaker 11 (35:01):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (35:02):
And not only that, after being attacked by a shark,
she went out. She told me she goes out and
she goes Oh, I see them around all the time.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
I'd be like, oh, thank you.

Speaker 15 (35:13):
So anyway, a little bit a little bit overdone, if
you will. All right, I'm germanly. This is standing ground.
This is Mojo fiber fiber radio. When we get back
this Al Salvador issue with the United States, it's still
it's still in the news cycle. They're still talking about
it and the whole due process thing. And now we've

(35:33):
got there, there's a there was a congressional delegation that
went down there, the lawyers going down. It's become a
real i don't know what you want to call it,
a love fest if you will with this with this creep.
So we'll get into that, all right. Once again, I'm
German l This is standing ground. This is Mojo fiber radio.
Quick break right back, and.

Speaker 30 (35:53):
You call it the arethy hungry eyes to bring you
people who are in the news currently. And the gentleman
you're about to meat could possibly be the most important
man in any of our lives. He's the United States
Air Force officer who has been chosen to be the
first man sent into outer space. I'm referring to the
chief astronaut with the United States Interplanetary Expeditionary Force.

Speaker 11 (36:15):
And here he is.

Speaker 16 (36:16):
Now, how you do, sir? May we have your name?

Speaker 30 (36:19):
Nine Osai man, and you're the chief astronaut with the
United States Interplanetary Expeditionary Force and the g BALT.

Speaker 20 (36:33):
Would Ju ninety stay.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Any planetar my nan Osai man.

Speaker 30 (36:47):
Mister Mannez, could you tell us a little about your spacesuit?

Speaker 6 (36:51):
It's very uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
How much did the spacesuit cast?

Speaker 6 (37:00):
That is basic called eighteen thousand dollars?

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Eighteen thousand dollars? Yeah, that seems rather expensive.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
Wow, it has two bar pants? About only nine thousand?

Speaker 30 (37:15):
Yes, I've been noticing this, mister Menez. What is this
called a crash helmet?

Speaker 9 (37:24):
Oh?

Speaker 31 (37:24):
I hope not, mister spaceman. Won't you please take me along?

Speaker 32 (37:37):
I won't do anything long.

Speaker 31 (37:40):
Hey, mister space man, would you please leave me alone?

Speaker 9 (37:46):
For you.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Broke up this.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Morning and I was feeling quite weird.

Speaker 33 (37:53):
That flies in my beard, my teeth paste smeared over
my window.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
The name said, so we'll see you again, miss base man.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy Lahy.

Speaker 34 (38:19):
How is the.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Election made you feel?

Speaker 34 (38:20):
On a scale from one to ten, with ten being Nazi?

Speaker 16 (38:24):
Nazi not.

Speaker 34 (38:25):
My name is doctor Nick Peterson, and I specialize in
those suffering from tds Trump derangements.

Speaker 16 (38:32):
Hello, I'm doctor Peterson.

Speaker 11 (38:35):
How are you well?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Donald Trump is a felon.

Speaker 34 (38:38):
Nope, I asked how you were doing. The majority of
Americans can mentally handle election results on both sides of
the aisle. However, there's this small, albeit growing group of
I don't want to say Americans, but people that are just.

Speaker 16 (38:53):
Disconnected from reality.

Speaker 34 (38:55):
Fascist, and honestly, it makes diagnosing these people a whole
lot easier.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Check their social media.

Speaker 34 (39:03):
Gone are the days when you just search your symptoms
on web md at home by yourself. Now they record
their symptoms and post them for the world to see.
The haircut is also a dead giveaway.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
So what brings you in today?

Speaker 35 (39:17):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (39:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 34 (39:18):
Maybe it's the orange democracy destroying Putin love and dictator
all right, so mental illness. They are completely blind to
the fact that their abserved actions and ideologies were a.

Speaker 16 (39:31):
Big factor in their party's loss.

Speaker 34 (39:33):
Let me ask you this, do you even know what
democracy is?

Speaker 12 (39:37):
Follow up question?

Speaker 34 (39:38):
Do you know how Kamala Harris became the nominee? I
know you're a deplorable nazi fascist bigot Okay needs turns
out that calling half the country Nazis for four years
was not a women strategy, and yet somehow not even
Cardid could save them. Do you realize what I'm going through? Yep, delusions.

(40:03):
I am losing my right to vote. Where you get
in your information will be Goldberg. Well what's the remedy,
you might be wondering. Well, if you ask me, it's
a history lesson in Jesus. But the pharmacy doesn't offer those.
I prescribe them a brain and I send them to
trybrain dot.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Com for more information.

Speaker 16 (40:21):
Well, i'll show you.

Speaker 34 (40:23):
I'm moving to Canada. That'd be great, and I'll be
shaving my head. Oh that's now. And one last thing,
I'm going on a sex strike.

Speaker 9 (40:32):
You're a loss.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Oh no, you're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy. Lady,
stop whining.

Speaker 36 (41:07):
President Trump and our Attorney General Pam Bondi and the
Vice President of the United States are lying when they
say that Abrego Garcia has been charged with a crime
or as part of MS thirteen.

Speaker 11 (41:22):
That is a lie.

Speaker 15 (41:23):
No, it's not, it's not a lie. Okay, I'm Germany.
This is standing ground, this is Mojo Fiber Radio back.
I this story I thought would sort of fizzle out
after a while and this this is our friend from L.
Salvador that was in this country. That's a wife beater.
He's here illegally, a gang member. Remember MS thirteen, drug trafficking,

(41:46):
human smuggling, all that who was deported. I guess you
could say deported, yeah, accidentally, or there was something that
didn't go through properly.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
So now you have not all.

Speaker 15 (41:58):
You have to note not all, because some are deciding
to keep their powder dry on this one, have decided
to make it their mission to be their own Moses,
to go down to L. Salvador and bring him home
to freedom. Well, I don't know who's advising. I don't

(42:19):
know what political consultants they're using, right, but there's a
big difference between bitching about due process, which they might
have a they might have a fair they may have
a solid rock to stand on with that issue.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
I'm a big due process guy. I believe that.

Speaker 15 (42:38):
Yeah, I need Article six. It's the law of the land.
And you're here, you get it, you get a process
and then when we booch out. But at the same time,
they're making a bad political mistake by what marrying themselves
to the individual. This guy's a bad dude, and they're

(43:00):
going down Senator Van Holland going there having soup with
him and calling him a Marylander, and all this kind
of stuff is it's the American people pick up on it,
and it's simple. You want this guy living in the
United States. That's what you want. That's what it's about.

(43:21):
And also it's well, it's publicity for them.

Speaker 12 (43:25):
After a long day, we have arrived in El Salvador.
I am here with several of my colleagues to demand
the Donald Trump release Kilmar Abrego Garcia union member Marilyn
Man who was wrongfully detained and deported.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
We are here to release kill mar Abrego Charsia.

Speaker 16 (43:45):
We're also here to make a statement that this cannot
be allowed. It isn't allowed in our country.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
This is a massive due process crisis.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
In our country.

Speaker 37 (43:55):
You are there for an El Salvadorian man who was
a resident illegally of Maryland. You're a congressman from Florida.
Why are you Nel Salvador. Well, we're here because a
man who had protected status in Maryland, a Maryland man
union member worker with a citizen wife and beautiful children,

(44:15):
was taken out of his state and out of the
United States and back over here without due process.

Speaker 15 (44:21):
They can't read the writing on the wall. This guy
is not Nelson Mandela. They're referred to him as a
political prisoner.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
It never ends.

Speaker 15 (44:34):
Van Holland gets back after his conjugal visit with his
lover in El Salvador, and of course he does the
rounds and go goes on face the nation on Sunday
in all the rounds now, Keep in mind Van Holland
from Maryland, the Senator from Maryland. Van Holland did not

(44:55):
stand up and applaud a little boy who was fighting
brain cancer. He voted against the Lake and Riley Act.

Speaker 14 (45:07):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
All this stuff, okay, But now he wants to go.

Speaker 15 (45:13):
He wants to go to El Salvador and bring back
a violent criminal hypothetical. Right, do you guys remember who
Willie Horton was, will Willy Willy Horton in the In
the it became a it became a hot button issue.

(45:35):
In the nineteen eighty eight presidential campaign, Mike Ducaccus was
the nominee and there was a forum in New Hampshire
where Al Gore was talking. They were talking about crime
and al Gore was on the stage with Mike Ducaccas
and said in Massachusetts, there was a man by the

(45:58):
name of Willie who who you governor let down on
a weekend furlough. And when he was out on a
weekend furlough, I think he beat and raped a woman
or something like that. I don't know if I have
the specific but it was a pretty pretty heinous crime,
and some people speculate that it lost the election for

(46:20):
Mike Ducaucus. Well, there were a lot of things. I
don't want to get into that. That is just a
whole different topic for a different day. But I'm just
saying it did did terrible damage. Mike Deucaucus believed in
letting violent criminals go visit their family on the weekends. Well, say, hypothetically,
this MS thirteen gangbanger comes back to Maryland, goes in

(46:42):
front of a liberal judge, you know, a real real
bench activist, and says, okay, well, pending your deportation, you
can go home. You'll just have to wear this angle
bracelet or whatever, because that could happen, right, could happen,
and God forbid he well, he himself just kicks in again,

(47:04):
and he beats the shit out of his wife or
does real damage to someone or harm to somebody, as
the old saying, is gonna be the Democrats or these
individuals anyway that are that have married themselves to this guy.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Or what Hey, and I have a lot of explaining
to do.

Speaker 15 (47:23):
So I don't think that who's ever advising the Democrats
or they're not taking advice the old saying, choose your battles.
This is a bad one, this could cost I love
the fact that they're doing it. I'm just saying is
that it is. It runs perpendicular to every kind of

(47:44):
rule in the book. I mean, not rule, but perception
is everything, and the perception is is that these Democrats
want in the media. They want to bring this guy
back to the United States. It's not supposed to be here.
So they they've put right right in the marquee, right
on the front page. We are okay with MS thirteen

(48:07):
in the United States. Okay, Well, if you were watching
the coverage as I was, of this delegation, this trip
that Van Holland made to go down and meet with
this creep, right, what's the question, who's paying for all this?
So he goes on one of the I think this
has faced the nation, and you know, the tabooed word
is tax dollars, and he was asked, who who's paying

(48:30):
for this stuff? And listen how reluctant. He's afraid to
say it, but he's kind of She backs him into
a corner.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Who did pay for this trip?

Speaker 38 (48:41):
This was an officially clear you know, congressional trip.

Speaker 11 (48:44):
Clear.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
Yes, like every other trip.

Speaker 6 (48:49):
You know, you know.

Speaker 15 (48:49):
At the beginning of the program, we talked about what
what did I didn't say it, but what what did Confucius?
Was it Confucius who said yes, I believe the first
step towards wisdom is calling something or somebody by its
proper name, like these were not astronauts. They were passengers.

(49:11):
They were not crew, they're not pilots. They went on
a joy ride.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
That's what it was. Okay, so no, they're not astronauts.

Speaker 15 (49:20):
Well, this piece of shit in El Salvador is not
an American and he's not he's not a he's not
a he's not a Marylander. No, he was not kidnapped
and even but listen to this is a montage of
the starting with Rachel Maddow Peter Panover at MSNBC.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Listen to this shit.

Speaker 24 (49:44):
The Trump administration abducted and imprisoned.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
A Maryland Man, Abredo Garcia, the Maryland Man, a.

Speaker 27 (49:50):
Maryland Man, Maryland man, growing calls to return the Maryland
man man.

Speaker 24 (49:55):
A Maryland man, the wrongful deportation of a Maryland Man
to El Salvador.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
He is, of course, the marilynd man now held in
El Salvador.

Speaker 15 (50:02):
Once again, the media is lying to you. And I
love this too. He's got a wife and a child. Well,
there are people citizens in this country that are in
prison that have wives and children. So I don't I
don't know where. I don't know where they're where that's

(50:22):
all coming from. But anyway, notwithstanding, okay, here's more, here's
more of a Van Holland.

Speaker 39 (50:29):
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not,
nor has he ever been a member of the MS
thirteen gang? And did you ask him point blank?

Speaker 36 (50:40):
Well, Dana, what Donald Trump is trying to do here
is change the subject.

Speaker 39 (50:44):
Since you were the one person to have met with him,
and since this is a thing you say on social media,
it's what we hear from Donald Trump and Republicans every
day all day long.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
You didn't ask him. I didn't ask him that because
I know what his answer is.

Speaker 36 (51:00):
Well, what he told me, was he was sad traumatized
that he was being in prison because he has committed
no crimes.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
It's almost comical, it really is.

Speaker 11 (51:11):
I mean.

Speaker 15 (51:13):
It pisses me off quite frankly about it. I try
to see the humor in it as well.

Speaker 16 (51:18):
Well.

Speaker 15 (51:18):
The White House, They've got someone there who always does
a good job and puts the press in their place.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Here's Stephen Miller.

Speaker 40 (51:29):
Here's an individual, the man who has been deported to
his home country at Alsabama, who has been.

Speaker 41 (51:36):
Repeatedly documented by multiple federal and state authorities to be
a member of m S thirteen, one of the most
violent and a ruthless criminal organizations up kind at Earth,
which is now a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Speaker 40 (51:48):
An individual who has been incredibly implicated in a human smucking.

Speaker 16 (51:52):
In human trafficking.

Speaker 40 (51:53):
An individual who is a documented woman beater, somebody who
is viciously assault did a woman in ways.

Speaker 16 (52:01):
That shocked the human conscious.

Speaker 40 (52:05):
That is who the Democrat Party is going to provide aid,
solace and comfort to, not to Senator Van Holland's own constituents,
like the Moron family. Rachel Moran was viciously beaten, brutally raped,
and murdered and her mother and never even got a
phone call from Senator Van Holland, or Kaylee Hamilton, a

(52:26):
young girl who was attacked in a public restaurant, raped
in the bathroom and beaten to death and murdered Biden
illegal alien that Joe Biden set free into the country.
None of those people illicit human sympathy from Senator Van Holland.
How broken is that man's heart, How broken is his
conscience that he doesn't have even an ounce of empathy

(52:49):
or time or concern to share with those families, Or
how many of his citizen constituents have been killed by
the fentanel that Joe.

Speaker 16 (52:56):
Biden allowed into this country, by the cartels that.

Speaker 40 (52:59):
Made a four chin off of human trafficking and smuggling
into this country, or did children in his state they
cannot even get a good education and a good healthcare
because of the mass migration that has occurred into his state.

Speaker 16 (53:11):
None of that concerns him in the least.

Speaker 40 (53:13):
You know, his heart is reserved for an illegal alien
who's a member of a foreign terroirist organization.

Speaker 16 (53:18):
I'm beyond the Paul.

Speaker 15 (53:21):
The misreporting around it is unbelievable and I'll say it.
Leave it to Fox to give you the facts. The
Supreme Court said, we're not getting involved in this. Essentially,
all they said, I sound like a broken record.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
If L.

Speaker 15 (53:41):
Salvador wishes to return him, we have to facilitate that return.
We cannot order the president to bring We can't. We
don't get involved in these issues that we cannot. We
cannot compel the president in when it involves an issue
of international relations or diplomacy. What's happened here? They can't

(54:04):
get it's it's separation of powers, it's the federal's papers.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Madison forty seven. I believe I got right. We don't.

Speaker 15 (54:10):
We don't get involved this. This was a good news
report on Fox with Stephen Miller.

Speaker 19 (54:16):
DOJ said, a federal court cannot compel the executive brands
to engage in any mandated actor, plomacy or encourasion upon
the sovereignty of another nation.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
So your argument is that you don't have to bring
him back home? But will you?

Speaker 42 (54:32):
So I want to correct I hate to do it, Bill,
but I got to correct you on every single thing
that you said, because it was all wrong. First, we
won the Supreme Court case clearly nine to zero. A
District Court judge said unconscionably that the president and his
administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one
of their citizens and all Salvadorian citizens, so that would

(54:54):
be kidnapping. That we have to kidnap an all Salvadorian
citizen against the will of his government and buy them
back to America, which.

Speaker 16 (55:01):
Would be an unimaginable act.

Speaker 42 (55:04):
And an invasion of El salvad Or sovereignty. So we
appealed to the Supreme Court and it said clearly, no
district court can compel the president to exercise this article
two foreign powers in any way.

Speaker 16 (55:15):
Whatsoever.

Speaker 42 (55:16):
DOOJ call me after that Supreme Court ruling and they said,
this is amazing. We won this case nine zero. We
are an excellent standing here. So this has been portrayed
wrong for seventy two hours in the media. They said,
the most a court could ever compel you to do
would be to facilitate return, which it basically mean if
El Salvador voluntarily sends him back, we wouldn't block him
at the airport, we would put him back into iced attention,

(55:39):
and then he would be deported either back to olsalvad
Or somewhere else.

Speaker 15 (55:42):
The other aspect of this is how poorly the Democrats
are monitoring what as it relates to this issue, What
is the pulse of the electorate. Well, CNN did a
poll on a llegal immigration, a llegal immigration.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
And listen to the number. Listen to the numbers they got.

Speaker 43 (56:04):
To port all undocumented immigrants, voters favoring the government trying
to deport all eleven million of them. Back in twenty sixteen,
just thirty eight percent of voters wanted the government to
try to deport all eleven million undocumented immigrants. Compared to
where we are in twenty twenty five, fifty six percent.
The majority the American people have come a long way

(56:26):
on this issue, much closer to Donald Trump. And I
think that's a big part of the reason why Americans
are increasingly saying the country is on the right track
when it comes to immigration policy, and why Donald Trump's
not approval rating on that issue is in the positive.

Speaker 15 (56:39):
You know, on the issue of due process. But that
is interesting, right, it went from thirty six percent in
sixteen to almost fifty above fifty six percent in twenty
twenty five. The country feels that the Trump administration is
on the right track as it relates to illegal immigration.

(57:03):
So by them going down and acting as some form
of countervailing force to do as what they deemed to
be justice is not sitting well.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
But I will throw this wrench in there.

Speaker 15 (57:17):
They weren't all about due process when it came to
the January sixth individuals who were denied habeas petitions, were
denied access to counsel and were locked up in cells.
Where were they on due process when Derek Chauvin was
on trial and the jury wasn't sequestered and evidence was

(57:40):
withheld and the state had information of an exculpatory nature
that they never handed over to the defense, major violation
of due process? Where were they then? So I but
I got to tell you, you know who took the
cake this week with me, Tim Walls Tampon. Tim has
a has a daughter who real fruit loop, but she's

(58:04):
on Instagram or whatever. Listen, listen, listen to what she
said Easter week.

Speaker 4 (58:08):
Listen to this.

Speaker 35 (58:09):
If Jesus for our lives today and in the United States,
this administration would have already taken him and removed him
from this country without due process. Claimed he was a
member of the MS thirteen gang as a way to
try to justify not giving him due process.

Speaker 15 (58:30):
Okay, all right, I'm Jeremy lady. This is standing Ground.

surf freaks, and gangbanger Kilmer Abrego Garcia. El Salvador is
the destination for democrats seeking the thrill of bringing violent criminal,
illegal aliens back to America. Come witness Trump derangement syndrome

(01:02:40):
in its purest form, from Chris van Holland to Corey Booker.
You may even see John Ossa. So what are you
waiting for, Senate Democrats? Join your colleagues and step into
the rhythm of rescue.

Speaker 11 (01:02:54):
Today.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
You're listening to Standing Ground Jeremy, Lady Boss.

Speaker 11 (01:03:02):
He made a far approach. Play again my name Boche.

Speaker 38 (01:03:09):
He made it?

Speaker 11 (01:03:10):
Oh yeah, sharecrops forgotten.

Speaker 20 (01:03:12):
You are clare at one Pa. They rode the Greek.

Speaker 11 (01:03:15):
They have boys down here and want to don't think
about me in an afternat.

Speaker 13 (01:03:18):
They want to make me an afternom boy. Hope.

Speaker 32 (01:03:22):
Not that guy in the corner Jagger's name, some kind

(01:03:45):
of war hero shut down five Germans in one day.
Say he's a natural born stick and Rudderman expressed the
ason man for the Air Force.

Speaker 13 (01:03:53):
I think.

Speaker 11 (01:03:54):
You know of any problems with him. Only one that's
right holding him.

Speaker 45 (01:03:59):
Back Taylor yegger, sir, We were just talking to uh
slick here about the sound barrier?

Speaker 11 (01:04:13):
Is that right? And we feel that the X one
is ready to have a go at it.

Speaker 20 (01:04:17):
We think the X one's got the answer to go
beyond mock one if there is any being.

Speaker 13 (01:04:26):
So what do you think you.

Speaker 11 (01:04:28):
Well, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 46 (01:04:29):
Half these engineers have never been off the ground, you know.
I mean they're able to tell you that the sound
barriers are brick wall in the sky, will rip your
ears off you try to go through it. Yes, me,
I don't believe the damn thing even exists. Drink from
mister Yegger here, No thanks for going.

Speaker 11 (01:04:47):
So do you think you want to have a go at?
It might?

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
But uh, since as you say, this sound barrier doesn't
really exist.

Speaker 11 (01:04:58):
How much? How much you got?

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (01:05:01):
I'm just joking.

Speaker 46 (01:05:02):
The Air Force is paying me already, ain't there right sir?

Speaker 9 (01:05:06):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:05:06):
Sure, yeager beds?

Speaker 13 (01:05:07):
And when do we go?

Speaker 11 (01:05:09):
Well, how about tomorrow morning? I'll be there, see you there.

Speaker 15 (01:05:16):
Great cut And as a matter of fact, Chuck Yeger
was on the set the entire time. He wanted the
story to be told properly, and that is the cut.
When Chuck Yeger in the movie The Right Stuff agreed
to put his ass out on the line, really was
a suicide mission to see if he could actually go
faster than the speed of sound, and he did it obviously,

(01:05:38):
paving the way a real pilot's pilot. But as it
relates to astronauts, back then the astronauts were actual pilots.

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
Well, they still are a lot of.

Speaker 15 (01:05:47):
Them are They come from the world of aviation. And
there was a scene in the film, and if you
look at the dichotomy of the Gail King, the star
Voyager and Alan Shepard in that time, that era and
all that, it's a whole different ballgame. So here's the

(01:06:07):
scene when they see the capsule for the first time,
the little tiny mercury capsule, and they were adamant that
they were not going to be passengers, and that they
were not going to be guinea pigs, and they were
not going to be used for publicity stunt. They were aviators,
they were pilots, and they wanted to make sure they
had control over their spacecraft.

Speaker 11 (01:06:33):
Where are you planning on foot in the window?

Speaker 13 (01:06:35):
Window?

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
There's no window?

Speaker 16 (01:06:37):
No window?

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
What what about the hatch? The hatch?

Speaker 20 (01:06:42):
Yeah, the hatch.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
We need a hatch with explosive bolts that we can
open ourselves.

Speaker 47 (01:06:46):
I think, say something you do not understand.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
This is the final film of the captures. No hatch.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
What would happen if the automatic controls went.

Speaker 47 (01:06:55):
Out backups chicks, except for this would not happen.

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
I said, what would happen if it did?

Speaker 13 (01:07:01):
Pilot?

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
It have to fly it that this is the way
it is.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
You know, I wonder how the press I feel about this?

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
What does the press have to say about you have
to say about this?

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
If you boys know what makes this bird go up?

Speaker 16 (01:07:17):
Funding makes this bird go up?

Speaker 29 (01:07:20):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
No Bucks, no buck.

Speaker 48 (01:07:23):
Rogers and uh press over there they.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
All want to see Buck Rogers, and that's us Buck Rogers.

Speaker 16 (01:07:40):
You see those fellows over there.

Speaker 30 (01:07:41):
They've been making us out as the seven finest and
bravest pilots in all America.

Speaker 20 (01:07:47):
And if a story were to come out in the press.

Speaker 18 (01:07:51):
That we were not being allowed to fly as pilots,
we won a window.

Speaker 14 (01:07:57):
Yeah, there could maybe be in future capsules be a window.

Speaker 13 (01:08:04):
Beer.

Speaker 16 (01:08:06):
Now that's where I has with explosive.

Speaker 6 (01:08:07):
Both though the hatch with the explosive.

Speaker 47 (01:08:13):
Yeah, there could be a hatch with explosive bolts on
the capture.

Speaker 11 (01:08:17):
That is a spacecraft, sir. We do not refer to
it as a capsule spacecraft.

Speaker 47 (01:08:27):
Yeah, a hatch with explosive bolts on the spacecraft. There
and they will be pitching your thrusters, which will enable
the astronaut occupant of the pilot.

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
Astronaut pilot.

Speaker 11 (01:08:47):
Yeah, the astronaut.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Highlight to have some.

Speaker 13 (01:08:54):
To have.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
Controlled of the re entry procedure.

Speaker 11 (01:09:08):
Thank you, we appreciate it.

Speaker 15 (01:09:10):
We're pilots, We're not guinea pigs. Sorry, we need to
be able to control it. We're aviators. So going back
to sort of Gail King comparing herself to Alan Shephard,
I mean, I could use many expressions, but seriously, well,
I'm just not going to say anything.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
But when I heard that, I really thought like I
was gonna vomit.

Speaker 16 (01:09:33):
All right, I'm going to end.

Speaker 15 (01:09:34):
The show today with something kind of nice and inspirational.
If you're a history buff, space history buff, whatever. But
if you've ever seen the movie The Right Stuff, which
was so beautifully done, It's a long film based on
the book by Tom Wolf. Stars Dennis Quaid, Ed Harris,
Scott Glenn, a lot of other familiar faces in the film.

(01:09:56):
It's very very well done, and most to them, almost
all of them when they made it in the eighties,
were still alive. But go to Cooper admittingly so emittingly
so sorry, would always look at people and family and
ask them who's the best pilot you'd ever saw or seen?

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
And they'd all look at him and go, you're looking
at him, right. So this this is a scene.

Speaker 15 (01:10:19):
He's driving in the car with his wife and the
two kids in the back, and they're they're heading to
the Space Coast Tube settle into their new home.

Speaker 23 (01:10:29):
Jerdy, here's the best pile that you ever saw. Huh,
here's the best pilot you ever seen. You're looking at him, baby.

Speaker 15 (01:10:45):
Go to Cooper, the greatest pilet you'd ever saw. Right,
You'd always say that the great greatest Pileota.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
Well, I'm gonna end the movie.

Speaker 15 (01:10:52):
This is the final scene in the movie where Gord
Cooper would be Ye, I think he would be the
last of the seven to go in not all seven.
Most of them went, but not all. I don't forget
who was held back. But anyway, the movie ends beautifully.
And then I want you to listen to if you
can listen to all of it right to the end,
but at the end there's a clip from of Dennis

(01:11:14):
Quaid to just top it all off, and I want
you in your mind to compare that time era of
space travel compared to.

Speaker 4 (01:11:25):
The astro crazies, the astronauts.

Speaker 15 (01:11:27):
Okay, I didn't say what I'm not gonna say what
I said earlier because I'll probably I'm gonna get emails.
But anyway, far different breed of individuals, completely different, and
to call themselves astronauts is just ridiculous. So anyway, yeah,
so here's the cut. The movie ends. Go to Cooper
had could fall asleep anywhere that the story I read.

(01:11:50):
I read the book. He could literally. His wife would
say he'd fall, he'd fall asleep on a.

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
Bed of nails. He just whatever.

Speaker 15 (01:11:56):
Well, he's on the pad, and as he was on
the pad, he dozed off. As they weren't a holding pattern,
they didn't know where they were gonna go, and he
fell asleep and John Glenn, portrayed by Ed Harris, wakes
him up to launch. And it's just how the movie ended.
And it's beautiful. Uh okay, I had a lot of fun.
I'm germanly. This is standing ground, this is Mojo Viber Radio.
Talk to you again soon, h Gordo.

Speaker 16 (01:12:29):
Guardo huh.

Speaker 47 (01:12:35):
Uh huh.

Speaker 5 (01:12:37):
Well.

Speaker 11 (01:12:37):
I hate to disturb you, buddy, but uh we've got
a launch here. Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (01:12:45):
Well, there's millions of people around the world watching.

Speaker 45 (01:12:48):
We just thought maybe yep, well, no Swift, let's go
remember when you are John one hundred percent.

Speaker 49 (01:12:58):
Okay ee by ten nine eight, six, five four three.

Speaker 50 (01:13:15):
What I don't know, I'm got to be out there

(01:14:06):
thirty second from the view around gold Igi.

Speaker 20 (01:14:09):
His gold counting right here on the mo Eag hill
is the sun is coming through the window.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
Now, Oh Lord, what a heavenly lay.

Speaker 11 (01:14:42):
The Mercury program was open.

Speaker 29 (01:14:45):
Four years later, astronaut dust Grisson was killed along with
astronaut's White and Chaffick when fire swept through their Apollo Calcile.
But on that glorious day in May nineteen sixty three,
Gordon Old Cooper went higher, farther, and faster than any

(01:15:05):
other America twenty two complete orbits around the world. He
was the last America ever to go in to space
along and for a brief moment, Gord Old Cooper became
the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen.

Speaker 30 (01:16:53):
Mister Cooper, since you're the last of the original seven
and the least well known to you, begin by telling.

Speaker 38 (01:16:59):
Us who was the best pilot you ever saw? Who
was the best pilot I ever saw? Who was the
best pilot.

Speaker 13 (01:17:15):
I ever saw?

Speaker 33 (01:17:19):
Well, I tell you I've seen a lot of them,
and most of them are just pictures on the.

Speaker 23 (01:17:26):
Wall, I said, pictures on a wall.

Speaker 33 (01:17:30):
I think you're back at some place that it doesn't
even exist anymore. And some of them are right here
in this room, and some of them are They're still
out there somewhere.

Speaker 11 (01:17:51):
Doing what they always do, going.

Speaker 33 (01:17:52):
Up each day in a hurtling piece of machinery, putting
their hides out on the line, hanging out of with
the edge, pushing back the outside of that envelope and
hauling it back in.

Speaker 11 (01:18:07):
But there was.

Speaker 33 (01:18:10):
One pilot I once saw, well, I think truly did
have the right.

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
How post did you ever come to?

Speaker 33 (01:18:23):
Who was the best pilot I ever saw?

Speaker 45 (01:18:25):
Well, you're looking at him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
Standing Ground has been a production of Lakey Media.
