Ep. 279 - No Romance in China, No Truth in Washington
David and Brad dive into Trump's aggressive tariff strategy, exploring whether American consumers or Chinese manufacturers will blink first in this high-stakes economic showdown. The duo dissects the genius behind Trump's "fairness" demands and the political theater of closing tax loopholes with convenient sunset clauses. Later, they unpack the recent JFK assassination hearings where Democrats inexplicably defend the CIA while Republicans confuse Oliver Stone with Roger Stone. Plus, the FBI's damning Hunter Biden laptop chat logs reveal how government agencies actively suppressed information during an election cycle. All this, plus a teaser about the Ark of the Covenant that you'll have to wait until next time to hear.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley Sheef.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Kitchen lever. There it is brad money for nothing by
cheap trick, great song, amazing anthem, dire straits, dire straits,
its the same darn thing. We are in the middle
of a trade war. We're in the middle of a
trade war. Last time we visited, this was not even
(01:08):
something that one could have anticipated. That's not true, of course,
we could have anticipated it, but this is quite the
trade war war in here.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Tariff Oh buddy, I again sort of talked about this
last time, But it's all about leverage, right, Like I
am the furthest thing from a macro economist, so I
don't know, but it seems to me that basically the
question here is you know, we're we're we have to
be You would know this better than I.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But we have to be a net importer, right.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
We don't make anything in this country anymore, certainly no
heavy goods, right, So we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Just excuses, Brad, We just make excuse to make excuses.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
And so we're we have the leverage over many other
country's economies because we are buying their stuff. So if
they want to sell it, they have to sell it
to us. Now they're going, So them putting a terror
on our exports makes no sense. We don't export anything, right,
So the idea of well we'll tear if you back
doesn't really work if you're the importer, because we just
(02:12):
shrug and go. We don't sell you anything anyway, so
who cares? But the question then becomes, at least in
my mind, is okay, so we'll let you know.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I don't know what we're buying something from China.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
And the question about who's gonna blink first depends on
whether or not it hurts China more not to be
able to sell us their stuff then it hurts us
not to be able to have it, you know what
I mean? So like is the American Populace going to
start jumping up and down and screaming at the White House. Hey,
(02:43):
you took away our whatever, our iPhones, whatever the case
may be, and we're angry about that. Is that going
to happen before China says well damn if we can't
sell these iPhones to the Americans, they're just going to
sit around on the docks and we're not making any money.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Which of those two things is going to happen? Right?
Is not the sort of how it works.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I think that's right. Who is going to blink for
some companies? Some countries have already blinked, right, They've already
taken down their tariffs to zero, like Israel did that.
I mean some of it is just for show because
they really weren't tariffs some of these countries. We put
reciprocal tariffs on the McDonald Island Islands, the McDonald Islands
(03:24):
has this had nothing to do with the fast food joint.
This is the McDonald Islands where penguins apparently live. We
we apparently slapped some ungins on those guys.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, those little tuxedo wearing bastards.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It a little little slippery bests. Yeah, No, that's so
we're doing that. I think that's I think I think
that's right. I also think it could be. You know,
this guy, the president, is a deal maker, right, he
makes deals for a living, and I think a lot
of this is going to be meeting in the middle
with some of these countries, even when there's no middle
to meet in. And uh, I think at the end
(04:01):
of the day, all these are going to be resolved
in one way or the other. But you know they
are going to be felt because you know, putting sixty
percent or fifty four percent tariffs on Chinese imports for
people who like imported junk, you know, consumers are going
to pay that pay that bill.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
They are and they're going to be upset about it, right,
There's no question, Like like you know many again you can't,
you don't know what the truth is. But if you
look at most headlines, you know those headlines are people
are upset at Trump. You know, Trump is feeling a backlash,
The MAGA backlash has come, right. I mean, that's the
sort of thing you see in the headlines that just
(04:42):
makes me laugh because Trump is many things, many of
which are.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Not good, but he's not an idiot, and he.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Doesn't care whether people are upset with him in April
of twenty twenty five, when the attention span of the
voting American public is thirty seconds, So as long as
thirty seconds before the midterm elections, Americans are happy.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
He wins.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
The fact that they were unhappy in April of twenty
twenty five about this or that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No one's gonna remember that. So if he makes all
these moves, you.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Know, saves all this money by shutting down unnecessary government expenditures,
slaps these tariffs on countries, and then you know, to
your point, we meet in the middle somehow and that
works out better for America, and the economy is on
the upswing and taxes are down in November of twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
That is all the matters.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
No one is going to remember that they were upset
about this or that. And that's why it just makes
me laugh that, you know, Democrats are like, oh, the
Republicans won in Florida, but not by as much as
Trump did. And oh the Supreme Court, you know, judge,
the Democrat won in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
This is a sure sign of Trump's downfall. What are
you an idiot?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's April of twenty twenty five. None of this matters,
none of it. It wouldn't have mattered either way if
the Republican had won in Wisconsin and the Republicans had
won in Florida buy an even greater margin. For the
conservative media to have been trumpeting that as the sign
that Trump, you know, was off to the races would
(06:19):
have been equally as stupid. How the American public feels
in April of twenty twenty five is meaning less because
they're not voting on anything, anything that matters until November
of next year.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That is correct unless you are looking at the governorship
of Virginia, New Jersey, which we're not because we don't
live there. So Trump also closed this loophole. I guess
a lot of people, you know, you go on I
see it all the time on Twitter. You see this
tmu you know t MoU temu. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
It's like a yeah, an online shopping place, kind of
like Amazon, right, and.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I have been roped in there a couple of times, right, Right,
you see something you bought anything I have bought. I
bought the kids a little the kids and I were
one of them was on YouTube kids and they saw
this robot that you you it's pretty cool. You turn
it on and you stick it you ticket card comes
with a stack of cards and each card has an
(07:20):
image of an animal or a piece of equipment like
a truck or a boat. And you put the card
on the top of it in the slot in the
top of the little robot and put a little pen
and two hands are together joined like it's praying, and
then it draws that thing. Right, you turn it on
and draws that thing for you, and the kids can
follow along and they can learn how to draw a
fox or And so we saw this thing was like
(07:42):
eighty nine bucks, and they wanted and say, okay, we'll
get it. Let's add somewhat educational. So we bought it.
And the thing that shows up is just a rickety
piece of junk.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Right, Well, that's what I was gonna ask it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Does it?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah? Okay, so you've answered that question. No.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I mean then they'll have things like, you know, inflatable bars,
and they had and I looked like this thing and
it was like it was like one hundred and fifty
nine dollars TIMU inflatable bars and something where you you know,
we had that inflatable Santa Claus that almost killed me
over the holidays, fifty foot Santa Claus and just putting
it away. Let me tell you we've finally got it.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
How much is that way?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh lord, let me tell you something. If you don't
have that thing strapped down and it lands on you,
you ain't You're just you're in trouble. Yeah, you're in trouble.
And especially it's cold out and I think it's a
little bit of ice on it, and it's just forget it,
forget it. But so the bar, it has the big,
constantly running compressor that keeps it filled with air. And
(08:40):
this bar, this bar, and it looks like this illuminated
outdoor oasis, right, an outdoor bar, tiki bar that in flates.
And then you take it and you google it and
you read the comments, and then people talk about how
it's just the thing. You can't sit in the stools,
they decompress, and the the thing just deflates and it's
a piece of junk. And and so everything on this
(09:02):
site is junk. And I didn't learn. So I was
on there a couple still. A week ago. I was
on there on Twitter and I saw this ad for
a little tool that helps you deconstruct Amazon boxes. Right,
it's like this little tool. It had a battery in it.
You push the button, and so it's just this safe
(09:23):
way to deconstruct these boxes. So I buy this thing.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
What do you mean by deconstruct just like basically a
sawt blade saw blade?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It saws them so you can if you have a
lot of boxes, you cut them and you just stack
the cardboard in your recycled bent as supposed to having
to break them down and cut them once. You know
what I mean. It's theoretically it was a good idea.
The thing shows up and it's literally the size of
a silver dollar, right, it's not this big thing that
looked like the size of like a five pound weight.
(09:51):
And then and then the first first time I pushed
the thing out, I cut my finger because you don't
know where it's coming out with the blades coming out
from there's no motor. The thing with the motor was
another the upgraded thing. And yet and so basically I
probably have to go after this and get my tennis shot.
Come to think of it, tis about well, that's a
(10:13):
good point. I have to have to get one now.
So there was a loophole where anything you bought an
eight hundred bucks, was no tax, and Trump just closed
that and imposed a thirty percent tax on all foreign
UH sales spot purchases from foreign over the internet. Yeah,
like cheap, cheap, these cheap goods. So he did that too,
(10:35):
which I think is a good thing.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Well, if you're gonna, I mean, listen, if you're gonna
do it, you have to do it right. You can't
close the front door and leave the back door open. So,
you know, I mean, I guess we'll find out. We'll
find you know, either China's going And what does he want?
What is what is Trump's objective?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Right?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
He must there must be some demand where he says, Okay,
I'm gonna impose these taxes, I'm gonna impose these tariffs
unless you do AX.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
What is the AX?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, that's the genius of it, right, you don't know?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
So he says I want fairness, but by not redefining fairness,
he can accept any you know, sort of olive branch
that the Chinese may extend, declare that that is the
very definition of fairness itself, and then subsequently different declare victory.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Clare victory. Yeah, like like bushed it in the in
the Gulf War after he completely destabilized the Middle East
fish and accomplished going home, going home to Crawford. Have
you ever been to Crawford, Texas where he has that
ranch there?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
If I've ever been through Crawford, Texas, I didn't realize it.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So it goes out there with Lady Bird and gets
in the car that goes in the pond and just
goes to bed, clears the brush all day.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
My brother's been out there a bunch of times.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I bet, I bet well in any events. So that's
where we are. That's where we are with old tribe.
But I think that's I think it's just going to
declare victory and move on. You know. The other thing
I heard, and I mean I just heard this because
I was watching the CNBC today as the market was cratering,
But I heard he's thinking about letting the top racket
(12:27):
go back to thirty nine percent from thirty seven. And listen,
I think esthetically to do something like that would be
freaking genius for him, right because it would completely get
him out from under the tax cuts for the rich thing,
especially the carried interest loop. Paul WHI should just be closed.
It's ridiculous, It's absolutely ridiculous, and it would change the dynamic.
(12:50):
I mean, he had this tariff discussion at the White
House and he had a bunch of guys from the
UAW there who were speaking about how this is the
first president in their lifetime. These guys are sixty year
old men who has done anything to combat the unfair
tariffs that they say that foreign the EU and Asian
countries impose on US exports of cars and parts. And
(13:16):
so you know that's the way to So he's got
a new dynamic within his movement, a new constituency, if
you will, and that may be a way of changing
the narrative a little bit. I don't know. I wouldn't
be I wouldn't throw up all over that. If if
he does other things like close the carried interest, I mean,
(13:36):
you know that's something he can something he can potentially
do to change the dynamic.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Well, yeah, And the way you do it is you.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Say, which the legislature and the White House do all
the time, is you say, I'm going to close the
carried interest loophole, and it will sunset that loophole on
set two years from now, right, So you get the
bang for your buck in the public media for having
(14:08):
quote unquote done something. But at the same time, you
give the folks who take advantage of the carried interest
and are not going to like this, you know, twenty
four months to reconfigure their portfolio right so that they
don't get walloped by this thing. And you kind of
make everybody happy. And it's hilarious to me the number
(14:30):
of times you say, you know where somebody's just you know,
up in arms over.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Something, either positively or negatively.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Right, they're either ecstatic that the White House is going
to do X any White House, or they're you.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Know, they're they're literally.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Pour covering themselves in sackcloth and ashes because the White
House is going to do ax, it doesn't matter what
it is.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
And then you look at it.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You go, well, this isn't even going to happen for
you know, a year or two years or three years.
I mean, they've said they've passed the law, and so
nominally it will happen, but the event itself is not
going to occur until sometime in the relatively distant future.
So why are we excited about it or upset about it? Regardless?
(15:12):
But that's the way it works, right. You get your
bang for your buck publicly by saying I'm doing this,
and then in the fine print it says, well, yeah,
but it's really not going to happen for you know,
this number of months, and so you know, everybody gets
a chance to adjust to it before it actually happens.
I mean, if you're Trump and you impose these tariffs
and you win the hearts of the UAW which generally speaking,
(15:36):
you know would vote Democratic, and then you quote unquote
close the carried interest loophole, but you give it a
twenty four month sunset period.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Well, hell's bells.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
You've you've had a couple of great publicity opportunities and
you haven't really done anything.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
So I mean, I guess we'll see, we shall see.
But it's all, it's all very very interesting, very interesting,
unless you own any stock, in which case you just
close that tab and move on. But there's so there's
that other things that he has banned. He has banned
government employees US government employees in China from any romantic
(16:17):
or sexual or sexual closing that loophole relations with Chinese citizens,
So both the romance is out and any sexual even
without that if you divorce the romance from the sexual act,
still out, still out with Chinese citizens. So you know,
(16:37):
there's that probably a good move.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I mean, what do you say, Well, yeah, I mean
one would hope that that wasn't common practice to begin with.
I mean, you know, you can certainly take the position
that it is a stretch of governmental authority for the
government to put its, you know, its hand into your
personal relationships. But if you work for the government and
you are in a country that is considered to be
(17:02):
generally hostile, certainly economically hostile, and I mean just this
when I when I was doing what I used to do,
you would see this happen all the time, and it
just makes me laugh.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And it's and I don't know that.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
It happens with women anywhere near as often as it
happens with men. In my experience, it was almost exclusively
men that this would happen to. So you are just
a dufus, right, You're You're just some dufus guy who
works for the US State Department.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
You're twenty pounds overweight, You're.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
You know, not much to look at, You're of average intelligence.
You know, you're just not you know, you're not an
amazing catch for anybody. And you're in Russia, or you're
in China, China, or you're even in some country that is,
you know, marginally friendly towards the United States, but obviously,
(17:57):
you know, everybody's looking for a lever over everybody.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
And you're sitting in a bar, you know, all by.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Your onesie because that's typically the way it goes, and
you're shooting the crap at the bartender, and there's a
sports thing on TV, and all of a sudden, the
most beautiful woman in the world sits down next to
you and just strikes up a conversation, right, a woman
who is of the nationality of the country that you're in,
and she is just stunning. I mean, she's you know,
(18:24):
she's an eleven, and she strikes up a conversation with you.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And at first you're just taking aback. You literally have
no idea.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
This has never happened to you in your whole life.
You literally have no idea what's going on. You don't
know what to do, and so you compound you're already
less than desirable persona by being awkward as hell in
this encounter. Right, So, I mean, you've just made this
is a mess, and yet she persists in treating you
(18:51):
like you're the most amazing human being she's ever run into,
and after you know, an hour and a half of
awkward banter, takes you home. Okay, now here's the problem.
At no point does our you know, hypothetical male ever
(19:13):
say to himself, well this is weird, like this is odd.
They typically just they might think, well this is odd,
but they typically just go, man, I've really got some game,
Like I've really upped my game.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Look at this woman who wants to me with me.
It's crazy. Okay. If someone came.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Up to you and said, I just would like to
give you a million dollars and you said, what what
I mean? I've never seen you before in my life?
Were you talking about He says, no, No, I would
like to do it. I'm looking at you. I really
like you. You seem to be amazing. I'd like to
give you this million bucks. Literally everyone on the planet
would go hold on, like there's a catch here, like
(19:53):
something is going on. But in these honey trap environments
that the guy almost never does, it's just always just like, wow,
I've I must be much better looking and funnier and
more charming than I think.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, No, dude, you're not.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You're you are being used, and you are almost certainly
going to willingly or wittingly or unwittingly compromise yourself and
your country. So you know, wake up, But they don't, right.
It happens all the time. So anyway, yes, I think
(20:29):
it's a good move.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I mean, you know sometimes though, listen, you and I
have been to Japan and we are very often we
have to beat them off with a stick.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah, it happens all Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Especially that young Indian. Remember that young Indian Laddie used
to bring us dumplings in the courtyard, even though we
were told it would never ever ever work.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Yeah, but well, as far as yeah, as far as
the listeners to this very fine program know that that
happens to us all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
We're constantly surrounded by beautiful women, so.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Constantly, constantly one hundred hundred percent. Let's see what else
top ten theme parks That list is out, Brad, I
don't see how many of these. You've been to. Discovery
Cove in Florida, No, Noble's Amusement Resort, Pennsylvania. No, I
told you I went to Dutch Wonderland right when we
(21:23):
were there.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I'm gonna guess Dutch Wonderland didn't make the list.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Did not make the list. I've never seen anything like it.
I have never in my life seen anything like it.
Smoky Mountain, Alpine Coaster in Tennessee. You've been there. Universal
Islands of Adventure, Florida.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
That's just the regular Universal. Well they broke it up.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It sounded like three different parks, but it's it's yeah,
it's universal.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Okay, Well, I've been the I have been the Universe. Now,
whether or I've been the Islands of Adventure, I couldn't
tell you. But I've certainly been to the Universal. Giant
competitor to Disney World, that is, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Part of that, but it's Universal. Studio is number nine,
Islands of Adventure is number four. It's attached, it's just
another part of it. Disney California Adventure. I've been there.
We went there.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
That you're that different from Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's new because the California Rides. It's I think it's
it's attached.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh okay, No, I haven't been to that. Then, I've
been to Disneyland, the Magic Kingdom.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
You've been there, Yes, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. I
guess that's an amusement park theme park. Really it's number
seven there Disney's Animal Kingdom. You've been there. I've been
there Universal Studios and then Holiday World and Splashing Safari
in Indiana. I'm thinking you haven't been there. I have
a feeling if my wife sees this list, I'll be
there this summer.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, you better keep that list, you know under wraps.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
My friend, we are making a trek to uh uh,
to Indiana this summer.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
To tell you that, well, you did not tell me that.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
But if someone had come up to me on the
street and said, hey, do you think the Britams are
going to Indiana this summer, my response would have been
in the affirmative.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I haven't been there in a while. There in a
long time.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Well that's it. I mean, you've got to get there.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
You've got, you know, important things to do in Indiana,
as many people do.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I mean, it is, after all, Indiana. It's true.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Ah, but in any event, that's neither here nor there,
so check it.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
But hey, let me bring something up with you there.
I rarely do this. You know.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
The way this works is you take the topics because
you're you're more in touch with them than I am,
and we banter about them.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
But I did read. I actually read the article today
because it interested me so much. Is that.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
So the title was like Natanyahu visits Hungry, which I
was like, well, okay, you know who cares about that?
But then there was like a subtitle that said and hungry.
I don't remember the exact words, and subtitle that I'm
clearly paraphrasing. This hungry you know, tells the ICC they can't.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Go to Hell.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
And so I was like, oh, well, that's kind of interesting.
What what does one have to do with the other.
And somehow not surprise if you listen to this very
fire program, I missed the fact that the International Criminal Court,
the ICC issued arrest warrants, oh for Benjamin Nett and
Yahoo and Galant, the former you know, secretary of Defense
(24:14):
in Israel, And so I mean that just made me laugh.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I'm like, who these people fing think they are?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
And then the fact that now many European countries are
kind of looking at the International Criminal Court, which, for
those of you who may not be historians, arose out
of the Nuremberg trial of the Nazis, right when US
prosecutors went over there and said, we're not having it.
We're going to try these people, and you know, should
they be found guilty, they're going down. And the ICC
grew out of that, which you know, again is historically interesting,
(24:44):
but has just become an absolute crap show.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
And you know, now it looks like that may be
going in the tank and should be.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
All of these internationalist organizations and I believe the ICC
is I there directly or indirectly subordinate to the u
N You know, all these organizations that were set up
with the best of intentions, Hey let's all play nice,
but have just become absolute useless crap shows and waste
of money are on the ropes.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Buddy.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, it's I mean, well, the US is out right,
the US pulled out and I knew, I knew.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I didn't know about the trip to Hungary, but I
know that he when he when net Yahoo came here.
There's a big hullabaloo about what other countries he'd be
able to visit without being arrested. I mean, it's it's insane,
but it's like, yeah, it's crazy, but the world is.
I think there is a shock to the system going on.
(25:44):
And you see more and more of these populist leaders
who are just telling groups like the ICC to go
to hell, you know, Orbon being the latest example. But
what's interesting is that the same playbook that was used
in the US against Trump is being used against some
of these other world leaders who were trying to take
(26:07):
control of their countries. Like Lapen in France just got
accused of bribery and she's banned from the next election.
Net and Yahoo. The bribery charges Trump obviously anything they
could come up with, Orbon the charges there. Obviously those
didn't stick. But it seems like there is a pattern
(26:28):
of you know, the quote unquote deep state in each
country or the globalists who, in order to eliminate the
risk of a populace taking control of that country, they
find some charges, convict someone, and then one of the
punishments is taking them off the ballot. I mean, remember Trump,
They tried to take them off the Colorado ballot as
(26:48):
a test case, and that didn't work. But you know,
these people are the pro democracy air quotes people are
very quick to eliminate choices in a democratic.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Let yeah, right, right exactly.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
The pro democratic folks are the first ones to make
sure that there's no true democracy, right. They picked the
candidates and you you know, pretend to vote for someone
you like.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
It's it's insane and the government is just you know,
you know when you like have a moment of anxiety
and you like kind of lose your breath and you
just step to it. And it's like I was watching
the jff They had the JFK hearing the other day, right.
The JFK hearing was that the woman who Rob Clark
calls air Hotty one Luna, the Rep Luna. Oh yeah, uh,
(27:37):
there's a foreign beauty queen.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Is that what he called her? I didn't understood what he.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Called her Air Force Houghty one or something.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
That's yeah, funny, but she's running the committee and it
just shows you this hearing, they had Jefferson Worley, the uh,
the Washington Post Pulitzer Prize winning reporter who came out
after this last crunch of documents and said that he
is now convinced, based on that Angleton file, that the
(28:03):
CIA was at.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
The very least complicit in the assassination of Kennedy. They
knew beforehand about Oswald, they did nothing to stop them.
They may have participated. They effectively, you know, did by
not doing anything to stop them. But they were also
monitoring him and some people were working with him. And
so this is what this guy's testifying. He's not some hack.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
He gets up there and he says, look, he said,
I am not a partisan. I'm a liberal Democrat, but
I'm not a partisan. I'm not I never come up
here to testify because I don't believe in BS. But
this is important to me, the release of these documents.
Have been suing the government for a decade to get
these documents, and he's still suing them for other documents.
But he said, this is important to me. That's why
I'm here, and he testifies. Oliver Stone was there, he
(28:46):
testified about his movie. A couple of other reporters, researchers
were there, and then the Democrats had their witness. And
their freaking witness is this obese oaf right who is
a government watchdog from a third party company. I don't
know what the hell. I'm sure it's funded by USAID.
And this guy gets up there and he is concerned
(29:08):
about the fact that social security numbers of certain people
who worked on the House Assassinations Committee in the seventies
were inadvertently released and not redacted, and he is he's
basically saying, this is the problem with Doe. And he
gets up there and he goes on a doge rant
and how the government needs more funding. And I'm like,
for Christ's sakes, for God's sake, for goodness, I'm just
(29:30):
saying this, I have this. I'm like, you know. And
then the Democrats, every question is about doge right, and
you get that Democrat Crocket who's that woman? And look,
the Republicans are morons too. They have Bobert up there,
the woman who gave the guy the handy in the
movie theater and it was caught on film. Who like
got Oliver Stone confused with Roger Stone, the Trump advisor.
She did, She's a moron. And then but then the Democrat,
(29:54):
that Crocket woman, the woman who's like that wants to
be the new AOC, gets up there and she goes, now,
I have that. She clearly hadn't done anything right, done nothing,
read nothing. She says, I've reviewed these files. And she
says to Morley, she said, now now that I've reviewed
these files and you've reviewed these files, isn't it clear
that Learvy Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy, and
Morley goes listen, she asked this question after he gave
(30:19):
his opening statement, because she wasn't there for that, and
he says no, He's like, to the contrary, I am convinced,
and I'll put my reputation on the line that the
CIA was involved and complicit in the assassination of President Kennedy.
And then she just like looks at him and moves
on to the next question. She's like, and wouldn't you
also say that the Warrent Commission did a good job?
And he's this, and it's like, what are we doing,
(30:40):
like wasting time? I mean, the government at the very
least covered up who was involved in what was involved
in the assassination of President Kennedy period end of sentence.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
That is clear one of the most popular presidents that
the country's ever had.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I mean just straight you know, popularity. Yeah, and the
guy who tried to.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Well for sure, But why would she I mean, this
is what baffles me about. I just don't understand the
left at all. And when I say that, that's what
I mean. I'm not saying I'm frustrated with them or
I think they are a bunch of lunatics. Both of
those things are true. I am frustrated with them, and
I think they are a bunch of lunatics. But when
I say this, I am truly I don't get how
(31:24):
the left functions because not long ago, Tesla's were the
darling of the left, because you know, they were electric
vehicles and you know, dinosaur based fuels.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Or ruining the planet.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
We're all going to die, so you gotta drive a Tesla. Now,
if you drive a Tesla, you're subject to the death
penalty and your Tesla will be burned to the ground.
And there's been no explanation of that switch other than
well we don't like Elon Musk Okay, well they really
don't have much. I realize that he owns Tesla. But
the people driving those cars bought them when you told
(31:59):
them they should buy them, and now you're punishing.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Them for having the tax breaks to them to do right.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Not long ago, I mean within a couple of years,
you instructed Americans that if.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
They were.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Real humans with hearts who understood the way the planet works,
they had to buy a Tesla. And not only that
will give you a tax break, as you said, I
if you do that, that was the instruction from the left.
And now if you're driving a Tesla, And if you're
driving a Tesla.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Right now, you didn't buy it a month ago.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
No one's buying them a month ago, right You bought
it when the left instructed you to do it. And
now you're paying a penalty for that. And somehow, now
the hallmark of orthodoxy on the left is that you
have to believe that Lee Harvey Harvey Oswald acted alone
in assassinating JFK and that the CAAA couldn't be involved.
(32:57):
That's somehow become part of the left religion.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Why.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I have no idea. It's just the craziest, craziest thing,
and it's dumb. And then they all want to talk
about the signal thing too. They're like, we should be
talking about the signal thing when the series should be
about the single thing. And I'm like, but it's not
just you have literally the chance to ask these guys
questions about these new documents that just came out, and
(33:31):
it's clear that there's a freaking problem here, that the
US government was complicit in the assassination of a president.
And these people are just either on the Republican side.
They can't take it seriously enough to review the issues.
And these people asked to be on this committee. This
isn't some standing committee, it's a special committee made up
(33:55):
to review the JFK files. So these people ask to
be on the committee. I mean, it's just it's it's
unfreaking believable. And then on the other side you got
people who would rather focus on pure politics, pure politics,
nothing else. Then you know, deal with the fact that
(34:17):
you've got the CIA monitoring and ignoring and allowing the
person that ultimately killed the President of the United States
to get into place and to kill him and to
pull the trigger and then to be killed himself. By
the way, it's just bullshit. It is such bullshit, and
it's it's ridiculous. And then you hear on top of that,
you know, that's one thing, and I like turned it
(34:38):
off and I love that stuff, and I freaking turned
it off because it was so annoying all the way around.
And then you find out that the FBI they they
they're releasing documents. Cash Betel releasing documents. He really released
all these FBI I guess you would know this. They're
called chat logs and They had a bunch of chat
(35:01):
logs that I guess they keep them related to topics
and groups within the FBI. You'd probably know more than
I did, but there were there were chat logs related
to how to handle the Hunter Biden laptop which the
FBI had in the fall of twenty twenty. They got
in like September October, and they quickly realized it was
Hunter Biden's laptop. But they allowed, you know, all these
(35:24):
people to come out and say it was Russian disinformation.
And they have internal chat logs where Christopher frickin' Ray
is passing down this is when Trump was president, by
the way, is passing down in order what's called a
I guess a gag order passed down a gag order
saying the only thing you can say about this in
(35:46):
any forum is no comment. So the only thing you
can say so rather than give accurate information, when the
FBI is asked, well, you've you know, you've heard that
the fifty foreign you know, a former secretaries of state
blah blah blah, have signed the document saying that this
is Russian disinformation? Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
No comment?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Even though they knew that that was not accurate I mean,
it's just and then they shut down Twitter discussions. They
they the FBI contacted Twitter and told them that, you know,
not to not to run with the New York Post
story on it because it was not accurate. Like, what
the what are we doing?
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, I mean, it's obvious what we're doing, and it's
becoming more obvious. What we're doing, right, is that we're
using our positions of influence within the United States Government
to further our own personal beliefs about how things should go,
even though we were not elected to any of these positions.
And you know, for the interest of full disclosure, the
(36:46):
chatlog I know what they are, but they're after my time, right,
so that you know, the like every organization on the planet,
now there's a you know, like an internal texting system.
For instance, although we're not being paid, we use slack
in the harbor, right, I mean, that's how we communicate
with each other. And so the Bureau now, like every
(37:06):
other organization, has something like that that they and they
and and by law, right those are our investigative communications
got to retain for a certain amount of time, right,
So I'm sure they do exist, and I'm sure you know,
knowing the Bureau. The Bureau is pretty damn good at
organizing information. And that's all thanks to Jaegar Hoover, and
that's he figured it out. If we keep records of everything,
(37:30):
even if they may seem irrelevant now in the future,
that might close the case. And so the Bureau does
and always has. So it doesn't surprise me that this
would be coming out. But that's these people, right, these
these government employees who have their positions by virtue of
being hired by the government. And let's give them the
(37:51):
benefit of the doubt and say that they got through
the door because they earned it.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
So that's fine. They have a job then, you know,
I mean, right, it may or may not be true,
but they have a job.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
But they have forgotten that their job is to serve
the American people.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Right. And this happened while I was in the bureau.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Right, is that it started to slip. We forgot what
our job was. Our job was to investigate violations of
the federal law, to ensure that the rule of law maintains,
the order of is maintained as the order of the
day in the United States.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
That's the job of the FBI.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
And started to become more of an internal security which
requires you once you transition to kind of more of
an internal security organization than a law enforcement organization. Don't
get me wrong, it was always the Bureau's mandate. I
mean that the Bureau is the internal security arm of
the US government. It has a counterintelligence counter terrorism role
(38:54):
than a big one. Right, So I'm not saying it
was inappropriate to pursue those things. But once that becomes
your mindset, it's automatically political. Like what keeps the country
secure is to a large degree subjective. And so once
you decide that this political viewpoint or this particular politician
(39:19):
is a threat to the internal security, well then you've
given yourself. You've stepped into an area where you already
have a mandate, and you can go after those things
you saw the Bureau do it. You know, all these
quote unquote white supremacist groups were labeled as domestic terrorists,
while all of these foreign influenced groups, radical Islamic fundamentalists,
(39:40):
et cetera, they were not. They were allowed to continue, right,
And so that's you're taking your position. You're allowing your
political viewpoint to color your performance of that position, but
you're not subject to election, right, I mean, you're just
hidden behind the scenes. The American populist doesn't see you
(40:02):
do it and has no ability to control you doing it.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
And that's a freaking problem.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
It's discouraging. It is you know, you think you get close,
you think you're you think people would be interested, but
they just don't. People just don't care. So we you know, listen,
at some point we'll figure all this out. We didn't
even get to the we still have. This is the tease.
I know a lot of people are wondering when we're
going to get to the Ark of the Covenant in
(40:29):
the location. We'll have to do that next time. I guess, okay, well,
all right, we didn't get to it this time. Also,
Val kilmer R I.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
P gone five, gone way too yeah, way too soon.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Terrible, terrible, But you know, that's that's pretty much.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Where we as great as Doc Holiday in Tombstone, he.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Was greatest Jim Morris, remember Jim Morrison.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Oh, he was great. Jim Morrison.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
I don't know if you want awards for either of
those roles, but he was great in both of those roles.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
The Doors was you know, it's not JFK, but it
was one of the best Oliver Stone movies of all time.
Mm hm, anyway, that's that.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Well, there you go, buddy.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Well, I mean again, we we double teased because we
said we were going to do the Ark of the Covenant.
This time, we didn't do it. We'll I'll tell you what,
We'll open with it next time. Let's just open with it, buddy,
no matter what happens, no.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Matter what, even if we both even if you and
I both forget it, we're doing it.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
We're doing it, and we'll get to it then.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
But I don't think anyone can accuse us of not
having done our job in this episode.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
We covered a lot of important topics.
Speaker 5 (41:28):
And you know, once again we've we've sort of aired
out the just absolute lunacy that is the US government
of the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. But we'll,
as you said, we'll punch through. I have confidence in
the next generation. But you won't have to wait until
the next generation to get to the Ark of the Covenant,
because we're going to do that next week right here
(41:49):
on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
You're welcome
Speaker 5 (42:03):
Mhmm.
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley Sheef.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Kitchen lever. There it is brad money for nothing by
cheap trick, great song, amazing anthem, dire straits, dire straits,
its the same darn thing. We are in the middle
of a trade war. We're in the middle of a
trade war. Last time we visited, this was not even
(01:08):
something that one could have anticipated. That's not true, of course,
we could have anticipated it, but this is quite the
trade war war in here.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Tariff Oh buddy, I again sort of talked about this
last time, But it's all about leverage, right, Like I
am the furthest thing from a macro economist, so I
don't know, but it seems to me that basically the
question here is you know, we're we're we have to
be You would know this better than I.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But we have to be a net importer, right.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
We don't make anything in this country anymore, certainly no
heavy goods, right, So we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Just excuses, Brad, We just make excuse to make excuses.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
And so we're we have the leverage over many other
country's economies because we are buying their stuff. So if
they want to sell it, they have to sell it
to us. Now they're going, So them putting a terror
on our exports makes no sense. We don't export anything, right,
So the idea of well we'll tear if you back
doesn't really work if you're the importer, because we just
(02:12):
shrug and go. We don't sell you anything anyway, so
who cares? But the question then becomes, at least in
my mind, is okay, so we'll let you know.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I don't know what we're buying something from China.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
And the question about who's gonna blink first depends on
whether or not it hurts China more not to be
able to sell us their stuff then it hurts us
not to be able to have it, you know what
I mean? So like is the American Populace going to
start jumping up and down and screaming at the White House. Hey,
(02:43):
you took away our whatever, our iPhones, whatever the case
may be, and we're angry about that. Is that going
to happen before China says well damn if we can't
sell these iPhones to the Americans, they're just going to
sit around on the docks and we're not making any money.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Which of those two things is going to happen? Right?
Is not the sort of how it works.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I think that's right. Who is going to blink for
some companies? Some countries have already blinked, right, They've already
taken down their tariffs to zero, like Israel did that.
I mean some of it is just for show because
they really weren't tariffs some of these countries. We put
reciprocal tariffs on the McDonald Island Islands, the McDonald Islands
(03:24):
has this had nothing to do with the fast food joint.
This is the McDonald Islands where penguins apparently live. We
we apparently slapped some ungins on those guys.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, those little tuxedo wearing bastards.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It a little little slippery bests. Yeah, No, that's so
we're doing that. I think that's I think I think
that's right. I also think it could be. You know,
this guy, the president, is a deal maker, right, he
makes deals for a living, and I think a lot
of this is going to be meeting in the middle
with some of these countries, even when there's no middle
to meet in. And uh, I think at the end
(04:01):
of the day, all these are going to be resolved
in one way or the other. But you know they
are going to be felt because you know, putting sixty
percent or fifty four percent tariffs on Chinese imports for
people who like imported junk, you know, consumers are going
to pay that pay that bill.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
They are and they're going to be upset about it, right,
There's no question, Like like you know many again you can't,
you don't know what the truth is. But if you
look at most headlines, you know those headlines are people
are upset at Trump. You know, Trump is feeling a backlash,
The MAGA backlash has come, right. I mean, that's the
sort of thing you see in the headlines that just
(04:42):
makes me laugh because Trump is many things, many of
which are.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Not good, but he's not an idiot, and he.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Doesn't care whether people are upset with him in April
of twenty twenty five, when the attention span of the
voting American public is thirty seconds, So as long as
thirty seconds before the midterm elections, Americans are happy.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
He wins.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
The fact that they were unhappy in April of twenty
twenty five about this or that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No one's gonna remember that. So if he makes all
these moves, you.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Know, saves all this money by shutting down unnecessary government expenditures,
slaps these tariffs on countries, and then you know, to
your point, we meet in the middle somehow and that
works out better for America, and the economy is on
the upswing and taxes are down in November of twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
That is all the matters.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
No one is going to remember that they were upset
about this or that. And that's why it just makes
me laugh that, you know, Democrats are like, oh, the
Republicans won in Florida, but not by as much as
Trump did. And oh the Supreme Court, you know, judge,
the Democrat won in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
This is a sure sign of Trump's downfall. What are
you an idiot?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's April of twenty twenty five. None of this matters,
none of it. It wouldn't have mattered either way if
the Republican had won in Wisconsin and the Republicans had
won in Florida buy an even greater margin. For the
conservative media to have been trumpeting that as the sign
that Trump, you know, was off to the races would
(06:19):
have been equally as stupid. How the American public feels
in April of twenty twenty five is meaning less because
they're not voting on anything, anything that matters until November
of next year.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That is correct unless you are looking at the governorship
of Virginia, New Jersey, which we're not because we don't
live there. So Trump also closed this loophole. I guess
a lot of people, you know, you go on I
see it all the time on Twitter. You see this
tmu you know t MoU temu. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
It's like a yeah, an online shopping place, kind of
like Amazon, right, and.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I have been roped in there a couple of times, right, Right,
you see something you bought anything I have bought. I
bought the kids a little the kids and I were
one of them was on YouTube kids and they saw
this robot that you you it's pretty cool. You turn
it on and you stick it you ticket card comes
with a stack of cards and each card has an
(07:20):
image of an animal or a piece of equipment like
a truck or a boat. And you put the card
on the top of it in the slot in the
top of the little robot and put a little pen
and two hands are together joined like it's praying, and
then it draws that thing. Right, you turn it on
and draws that thing for you, and the kids can
follow along and they can learn how to draw a
fox or And so we saw this thing was like
(07:42):
eighty nine bucks, and they wanted and say, okay, we'll
get it. Let's add somewhat educational. So we bought it.
And the thing that shows up is just a rickety
piece of junk.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Right, Well, that's what I was gonna ask it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Does it?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah? Okay, so you've answered that question. No.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I mean then they'll have things like, you know, inflatable bars,
and they had and I looked like this thing and
it was like it was like one hundred and fifty
nine dollars TIMU inflatable bars and something where you you know,
we had that inflatable Santa Claus that almost killed me
over the holidays, fifty foot Santa Claus and just putting
it away. Let me tell you we've finally got it.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
How much is that way?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh lord, let me tell you something. If you don't
have that thing strapped down and it lands on you,
you ain't You're just you're in trouble. Yeah, you're in trouble.
And especially it's cold out and I think it's a
little bit of ice on it, and it's just forget it,
forget it. But so the bar, it has the big,
constantly running compressor that keeps it filled with air. And
(08:40):
this bar, this bar, and it looks like this illuminated
outdoor oasis, right, an outdoor bar, tiki bar that in flates.
And then you take it and you google it and
you read the comments, and then people talk about how
it's just the thing. You can't sit in the stools,
they decompress, and the the thing just deflates and it's
a piece of junk. And and so everything on this
(09:02):
site is junk. And I didn't learn. So I was
on there a couple still. A week ago. I was
on there on Twitter and I saw this ad for
a little tool that helps you deconstruct Amazon boxes. Right,
it's like this little tool. It had a battery in it.
You push the button, and so it's just this safe
(09:23):
way to deconstruct these boxes. So I buy this thing.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
What do you mean by deconstruct just like basically a
sawt blade saw blade?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It saws them so you can if you have a
lot of boxes, you cut them and you just stack
the cardboard in your recycled bent as supposed to having
to break them down and cut them once. You know
what I mean. It's theoretically it was a good idea.
The thing shows up and it's literally the size of
a silver dollar, right, it's not this big thing that
looked like the size of like a five pound weight.
(09:51):
And then and then the first first time I pushed
the thing out, I cut my finger because you don't
know where it's coming out with the blades coming out
from there's no motor. The thing with the motor was
another the upgraded thing. And yet and so basically I
probably have to go after this and get my tennis shot.
Come to think of it, tis about well, that's a
(10:13):
good point. I have to have to get one now.
So there was a loophole where anything you bought an
eight hundred bucks, was no tax, and Trump just closed
that and imposed a thirty percent tax on all foreign
UH sales spot purchases from foreign over the internet. Yeah,
like cheap, cheap, these cheap goods. So he did that too,
(10:35):
which I think is a good thing.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Well, if you're gonna, I mean, listen, if you're gonna
do it, you have to do it right. You can't
close the front door and leave the back door open. So,
you know, I mean, I guess we'll find out. We'll
find you know, either China's going And what does he want?
What is what is Trump's objective?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Right?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
He must there must be some demand where he says, Okay,
I'm gonna impose these taxes, I'm gonna impose these tariffs
unless you do AX.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
What is the AX?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, that's the genius of it, right, you don't know?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
So he says I want fairness, but by not redefining fairness,
he can accept any you know, sort of olive branch
that the Chinese may extend, declare that that is the
very definition of fairness itself, and then subsequently different declare victory.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Clare victory. Yeah, like like bushed it in the in
the Gulf War after he completely destabilized the Middle East
fish and accomplished going home, going home to Crawford. Have
you ever been to Crawford, Texas where he has that
ranch there?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
If I've ever been through Crawford, Texas, I didn't realize it.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So it goes out there with Lady Bird and gets
in the car that goes in the pond and just
goes to bed, clears the brush all day.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
My brother's been out there a bunch of times.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I bet, I bet well in any events. So that's
where we are. That's where we are with old tribe.
But I think that's I think it's just going to
declare victory and move on. You know. The other thing
I heard, and I mean I just heard this because
I was watching the CNBC today as the market was cratering,
But I heard he's thinking about letting the top racket
(12:27):
go back to thirty nine percent from thirty seven. And listen,
I think esthetically to do something like that would be
freaking genius for him, right because it would completely get
him out from under the tax cuts for the rich thing,
especially the carried interest loop. Paul WHI should just be closed.
It's ridiculous, It's absolutely ridiculous, and it would change the dynamic.
(12:50):
I mean, he had this tariff discussion at the White
House and he had a bunch of guys from the
UAW there who were speaking about how this is the
first president in their lifetime. These guys are sixty year
old men who has done anything to combat the unfair
tariffs that they say that foreign the EU and Asian
countries impose on US exports of cars and parts. And
(13:16):
so you know that's the way to So he's got
a new dynamic within his movement, a new constituency, if
you will, and that may be a way of changing
the narrative a little bit. I don't know. I wouldn't
be I wouldn't throw up all over that. If if
he does other things like close the carried interest, I mean,
(13:36):
you know that's something he can something he can potentially
do to change the dynamic.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Well, yeah, And the way you do it is you.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Say, which the legislature and the White House do all
the time, is you say, I'm going to close the
carried interest loophole, and it will sunset that loophole on
set two years from now, right, So you get the
bang for your buck in the public media for having
(14:08):
quote unquote done something. But at the same time, you
give the folks who take advantage of the carried interest
and are not going to like this, you know, twenty
four months to reconfigure their portfolio right so that they
don't get walloped by this thing. And you kind of
make everybody happy. And it's hilarious to me the number
(14:30):
of times you say, you know where somebody's just you know,
up in arms over.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Something, either positively or negatively.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Right, they're either ecstatic that the White House is going
to do X any White House, or they're you.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Know, they're they're literally.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Pour covering themselves in sackcloth and ashes because the White
House is going to do ax, it doesn't matter what
it is.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
And then you look at it.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You go, well, this isn't even going to happen for
you know, a year or two years or three years.
I mean, they've said they've passed the law, and so
nominally it will happen, but the event itself is not
going to occur until sometime in the relatively distant future.
So why are we excited about it or upset about it? Regardless?
(15:12):
But that's the way it works, right. You get your
bang for your buck publicly by saying I'm doing this,
and then in the fine print it says, well, yeah,
but it's really not going to happen for you know,
this number of months, and so you know, everybody gets
a chance to adjust to it before it actually happens.
I mean, if you're Trump and you impose these tariffs
and you win the hearts of the UAW which generally speaking,
(15:36):
you know would vote Democratic, and then you quote unquote
close the carried interest loophole, but you give it a
twenty four month sunset period.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Well, hell's bells.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
You've you've had a couple of great publicity opportunities and
you haven't really done anything.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
So I mean, I guess we'll see, we shall see.
But it's all, it's all very very interesting, very interesting,
unless you own any stock, in which case you just
close that tab and move on. But there's so there's
that other things that he has banned. He has banned
government employees US government employees in China from any romantic
(16:17):
or sexual or sexual closing that loophole relations with Chinese citizens,
So both the romance is out and any sexual even
without that if you divorce the romance from the sexual act,
still out, still out with Chinese citizens. So you know,
(16:37):
there's that probably a good move.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I mean, what do you say, Well, yeah, I mean
one would hope that that wasn't common practice to begin with.
I mean, you know, you can certainly take the position
that it is a stretch of governmental authority for the
government to put its, you know, its hand into your
personal relationships. But if you work for the government and
you are in a country that is considered to be
(17:02):
generally hostile, certainly economically hostile, and I mean just this
when I when I was doing what I used to do,
you would see this happen all the time, and it
just makes me laugh.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And it's and I don't know that.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
It happens with women anywhere near as often as it
happens with men. In my experience, it was almost exclusively
men that this would happen to. So you are just
a dufus, right, You're You're just some dufus guy who
works for the US State Department.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
You're twenty pounds overweight, You're.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
You know, not much to look at, You're of average intelligence.
You know, you're just not you know, you're not an
amazing catch for anybody. And you're in Russia, or you're
in China, China, or you're even in some country that is,
you know, marginally friendly towards the United States, but obviously,
(17:57):
you know, everybody's looking for a lever over everybody.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
And you're sitting in a bar, you know, all by.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Your onesie because that's typically the way it goes, and
you're shooting the crap at the bartender, and there's a
sports thing on TV, and all of a sudden, the
most beautiful woman in the world sits down next to
you and just strikes up a conversation, right, a woman
who is of the nationality of the country that you're in,
and she is just stunning. I mean, she's you know,
(18:24):
she's an eleven, and she strikes up a conversation with you.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And at first you're just taking aback. You literally have
no idea.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
This has never happened to you in your whole life.
You literally have no idea what's going on. You don't
know what to do, and so you compound you're already
less than desirable persona by being awkward as hell in
this encounter. Right, So, I mean, you've just made this
is a mess, and yet she persists in treating you
(18:51):
like you're the most amazing human being she's ever run into,
and after you know, an hour and a half of
awkward banter, takes you home. Okay, now here's the problem.
At no point does our you know, hypothetical male ever
(19:13):
say to himself, well this is weird, like this is odd.
They typically just they might think, well this is odd,
but they typically just go, man, I've really got some game,
Like I've really upped my game.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Look at this woman who wants to me with me.
It's crazy. Okay. If someone came.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Up to you and said, I just would like to
give you a million dollars and you said, what what
I mean? I've never seen you before in my life?
Were you talking about He says, no, No, I would
like to do it. I'm looking at you. I really
like you. You seem to be amazing. I'd like to
give you this million bucks. Literally everyone on the planet
would go hold on, like there's a catch here, like
(19:53):
something is going on. But in these honey trap environments
that the guy almost never does, it's just always just like, wow,
I've I must be much better looking and funnier and
more charming than I think.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, No, dude, you're not.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You're you are being used, and you are almost certainly
going to willingly or wittingly or unwittingly compromise yourself and
your country. So you know, wake up, But they don't, right.
It happens all the time. So anyway, yes, I think
(20:29):
it's a good move.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I mean, you know sometimes though, listen, you and I
have been to Japan and we are very often we
have to beat them off with a stick.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah, it happens all Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Especially that young Indian. Remember that young Indian Laddie used
to bring us dumplings in the courtyard, even though we
were told it would never ever ever work.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Yeah, but well, as far as yeah, as far as
the listeners to this very fine program know that that
happens to us all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
We're constantly surrounded by beautiful women, so.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Constantly, constantly one hundred hundred percent. Let's see what else
top ten theme parks That list is out, Brad, I
don't see how many of these. You've been to. Discovery
Cove in Florida, No, Noble's Amusement Resort, Pennsylvania. No, I
told you I went to Dutch Wonderland right when we
(21:23):
were there.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I'm gonna guess Dutch Wonderland didn't make the list.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Did not make the list. I've never seen anything like it.
I have never in my life seen anything like it.
Smoky Mountain, Alpine Coaster in Tennessee. You've been there. Universal
Islands of Adventure, Florida.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
That's just the regular Universal. Well they broke it up.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It sounded like three different parks, but it's it's yeah,
it's universal.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Okay, Well, I've been the I have been the Universe. Now,
whether or I've been the Islands of Adventure, I couldn't
tell you. But I've certainly been to the Universal. Giant
competitor to Disney World, that is, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Part of that, but it's Universal. Studio is number nine,
Islands of Adventure is number four. It's attached, it's just
another part of it. Disney California Adventure. I've been there.
We went there.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
That you're that different from Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's new because the California Rides. It's I think it's
it's attached.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh okay, No, I haven't been to that. Then, I've
been to Disneyland, the Magic Kingdom.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
You've been there, Yes, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. I
guess that's an amusement park theme park. Really it's number
seven there Disney's Animal Kingdom. You've been there. I've been
there Universal Studios and then Holiday World and Splashing Safari
in Indiana. I'm thinking you haven't been there. I have
a feeling if my wife sees this list, I'll be
there this summer.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, you better keep that list, you know under wraps.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
My friend, we are making a trek to uh uh,
to Indiana this summer.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
To tell you that, well, you did not tell me that.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
But if someone had come up to me on the
street and said, hey, do you think the Britams are
going to Indiana this summer, my response would have been
in the affirmative.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I haven't been there in a while. There in a
long time.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Well that's it. I mean, you've got to get there.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
You've got, you know, important things to do in Indiana,
as many people do.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I mean, it is, after all, Indiana. It's true.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Ah, but in any event, that's neither here nor there,
so check it.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
But hey, let me bring something up with you there.
I rarely do this. You know.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
The way this works is you take the topics because
you're you're more in touch with them than I am,
and we banter about them.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
But I did read. I actually read the article today
because it interested me so much. Is that.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
So the title was like Natanyahu visits Hungry, which I
was like, well, okay, you know who cares about that?
But then there was like a subtitle that said and hungry.
I don't remember the exact words, and subtitle that I'm
clearly paraphrasing. This hungry you know, tells the ICC they can't.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Go to Hell.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
And so I was like, oh, well, that's kind of interesting.
What what does one have to do with the other.
And somehow not surprise if you listen to this very
fire program, I missed the fact that the International Criminal Court,
the ICC issued arrest warrants, oh for Benjamin Nett and
Yahoo and Galant, the former you know, secretary of Defense
(24:14):
in Israel, And so I mean that just made me laugh.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I'm like, who these people fing think they are?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
And then the fact that now many European countries are
kind of looking at the International Criminal Court, which, for
those of you who may not be historians, arose out
of the Nuremberg trial of the Nazis, right when US
prosecutors went over there and said, we're not having it.
We're going to try these people, and you know, should
they be found guilty, they're going down. And the ICC
grew out of that, which you know, again is historically interesting,
(24:44):
but has just become an absolute crap show.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
And you know, now it looks like that may be
going in the tank and should be.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
All of these internationalist organizations and I believe the ICC
is I there directly or indirectly subordinate to the u
N You know, all these organizations that were set up
with the best of intentions, Hey let's all play nice,
but have just become absolute useless crap shows and waste
of money are on the ropes.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Buddy.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, it's I mean, well, the US is out right,
the US pulled out and I knew, I knew.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I didn't know about the trip to Hungary, but I
know that he when he when net Yahoo came here.
There's a big hullabaloo about what other countries he'd be
able to visit without being arrested. I mean, it's it's insane,
but it's like, yeah, it's crazy, but the world is.
I think there is a shock to the system going on.
(25:44):
And you see more and more of these populist leaders
who are just telling groups like the ICC to go
to hell, you know, Orbon being the latest example. But
what's interesting is that the same playbook that was used
in the US against Trump is being used against some
of these other world leaders who were trying to take
(26:07):
control of their countries. Like Lapen in France just got
accused of bribery and she's banned from the next election.
Net and Yahoo. The bribery charges Trump obviously anything they
could come up with, Orbon the charges there. Obviously those
didn't stick. But it seems like there is a pattern
(26:28):
of you know, the quote unquote deep state in each
country or the globalists who, in order to eliminate the
risk of a populace taking control of that country, they
find some charges, convict someone, and then one of the
punishments is taking them off the ballot. I mean, remember Trump,
They tried to take them off the Colorado ballot as
(26:48):
a test case, and that didn't work. But you know,
these people are the pro democracy air quotes people are
very quick to eliminate choices in a democratic.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Let yeah, right, right exactly.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
The pro democratic folks are the first ones to make
sure that there's no true democracy, right. They picked the
candidates and you you know, pretend to vote for someone
you like.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
It's it's insane and the government is just you know,
you know when you like have a moment of anxiety
and you like kind of lose your breath and you
just step to it. And it's like I was watching
the jff They had the JFK hearing the other day, right.
The JFK hearing was that the woman who Rob Clark
calls air Hotty one Luna, the Rep Luna. Oh yeah, uh,
(27:37):
there's a foreign beauty queen.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Is that what he called her? I didn't understood what he.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Called her Air Force Houghty one or something.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
That's yeah, funny, but she's running the committee and it
just shows you this hearing, they had Jefferson Worley, the uh,
the Washington Post Pulitzer Prize winning reporter who came out
after this last crunch of documents and said that he
is now convinced, based on that Angleton file, that the
(28:03):
CIA was at.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
The very least complicit in the assassination of Kennedy. They
knew beforehand about Oswald, they did nothing to stop them.
They may have participated. They effectively, you know, did by
not doing anything to stop them. But they were also
monitoring him and some people were working with him. And
so this is what this guy's testifying. He's not some hack.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
He gets up there and he says, look, he said,
I am not a partisan. I'm a liberal Democrat, but
I'm not a partisan. I'm not I never come up
here to testify because I don't believe in BS. But
this is important to me, the release of these documents.
Have been suing the government for a decade to get
these documents, and he's still suing them for other documents.
But he said, this is important to me. That's why
I'm here, and he testifies. Oliver Stone was there, he
(28:46):
testified about his movie. A couple of other reporters, researchers
were there, and then the Democrats had their witness. And
their freaking witness is this obese oaf right who is
a government watchdog from a third party company. I don't
know what the hell. I'm sure it's funded by USAID.
And this guy gets up there and he is concerned
(29:08):
about the fact that social security numbers of certain people
who worked on the House Assassinations Committee in the seventies
were inadvertently released and not redacted, and he is he's
basically saying, this is the problem with Doe. And he
gets up there and he goes on a doge rant
and how the government needs more funding. And I'm like,
for Christ's sakes, for God's sake, for goodness, I'm just
(29:30):
saying this, I have this. I'm like, you know. And
then the Democrats, every question is about doge right, and
you get that Democrat Crocket who's that woman? And look,
the Republicans are morons too. They have Bobert up there,
the woman who gave the guy the handy in the
movie theater and it was caught on film. Who like
got Oliver Stone confused with Roger Stone, the Trump advisor.
She did, She's a moron. And then but then the Democrat,
(29:54):
that Crocket woman, the woman who's like that wants to
be the new AOC, gets up there and she goes, now,
I have that. She clearly hadn't done anything right, done nothing,
read nothing. She says, I've reviewed these files. And she
says to Morley, she said, now now that I've reviewed
these files and you've reviewed these files, isn't it clear
that Learvy Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy, and
Morley goes listen, she asked this question after he gave
(30:19):
his opening statement, because she wasn't there for that, and
he says no, He's like, to the contrary, I am convinced,
and I'll put my reputation on the line that the
CIA was involved and complicit in the assassination of President Kennedy.
And then she just like looks at him and moves
on to the next question. She's like, and wouldn't you
also say that the Warrent Commission did a good job?
And he's this, and it's like, what are we doing,
(30:40):
like wasting time? I mean, the government at the very
least covered up who was involved in what was involved
in the assassination of President Kennedy period end of sentence.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
That is clear one of the most popular presidents that
the country's ever had.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I mean just straight you know, popularity. Yeah, and the
guy who tried to.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Well for sure, But why would she I mean, this
is what baffles me about. I just don't understand the
left at all. And when I say that, that's what
I mean. I'm not saying I'm frustrated with them or
I think they are a bunch of lunatics. Both of
those things are true. I am frustrated with them, and
I think they are a bunch of lunatics. But when
I say this, I am truly I don't get how
(31:24):
the left functions because not long ago, Tesla's were the
darling of the left, because you know, they were electric
vehicles and you know, dinosaur based fuels.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Or ruining the planet.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
We're all going to die, so you gotta drive a Tesla. Now,
if you drive a Tesla, you're subject to the death
penalty and your Tesla will be burned to the ground.
And there's been no explanation of that switch other than
well we don't like Elon Musk Okay, well they really
don't have much. I realize that he owns Tesla. But
the people driving those cars bought them when you told
(31:59):
them they should buy them, and now you're punishing.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Them for having the tax breaks to them to do right.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Not long ago, I mean within a couple of years,
you instructed Americans that if.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
They were.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Real humans with hearts who understood the way the planet works,
they had to buy a Tesla. And not only that
will give you a tax break, as you said, I
if you do that, that was the instruction from the left.
And now if you're driving a Tesla, And if you're
driving a Tesla.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Right now, you didn't buy it a month ago.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
No one's buying them a month ago, right You bought
it when the left instructed you to do it. And
now you're paying a penalty for that. And somehow, now
the hallmark of orthodoxy on the left is that you
have to believe that Lee Harvey Harvey Oswald acted alone
in assassinating JFK and that the CAAA couldn't be involved.
(32:57):
That's somehow become part of the left religion.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Why.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I have no idea. It's just the craziest, craziest thing,
and it's dumb. And then they all want to talk
about the signal thing too. They're like, we should be
talking about the signal thing when the series should be
about the single thing. And I'm like, but it's not
just you have literally the chance to ask these guys
questions about these new documents that just came out, and
(33:31):
it's clear that there's a freaking problem here, that the
US government was complicit in the assassination of a president.
And these people are just either on the Republican side.
They can't take it seriously enough to review the issues.
And these people asked to be on this committee. This
isn't some standing committee, it's a special committee made up
(33:55):
to review the JFK files. So these people ask to
be on the committee. I mean, it's just it's it's
unfreaking believable. And then on the other side you got
people who would rather focus on pure politics, pure politics,
nothing else. Then you know, deal with the fact that
(34:17):
you've got the CIA monitoring and ignoring and allowing the
person that ultimately killed the President of the United States
to get into place and to kill him and to
pull the trigger and then to be killed himself. By
the way, it's just bullshit. It is such bullshit, and
it's it's ridiculous. And then you hear on top of that,
you know, that's one thing, and I like turned it
(34:38):
off and I love that stuff, and I freaking turned
it off because it was so annoying all the way around.
And then you find out that the FBI they they
they're releasing documents. Cash Betel releasing documents. He really released
all these FBI I guess you would know this. They're
called chat logs and They had a bunch of chat
(35:01):
logs that I guess they keep them related to topics
and groups within the FBI. You'd probably know more than
I did, but there were there were chat logs related
to how to handle the Hunter Biden laptop which the
FBI had in the fall of twenty twenty. They got
in like September October, and they quickly realized it was
Hunter Biden's laptop. But they allowed, you know, all these
(35:24):
people to come out and say it was Russian disinformation.
And they have internal chat logs where Christopher frickin' Ray
is passing down this is when Trump was president, by
the way, is passing down in order what's called a
I guess a gag order passed down a gag order
saying the only thing you can say about this in
(35:46):
any forum is no comment. So the only thing you
can say so rather than give accurate information, when the
FBI is asked, well, you've you know, you've heard that
the fifty foreign you know, a former secretaries of state
blah blah blah, have signed the document saying that this
is Russian disinformation? Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
No comment?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Even though they knew that that was not accurate I mean,
it's just and then they shut down Twitter discussions. They
they the FBI contacted Twitter and told them that, you know,
not to not to run with the New York Post
story on it because it was not accurate. Like, what
the what are we doing?
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, I mean, it's obvious what we're doing, and it's
becoming more obvious. What we're doing, right, is that we're
using our positions of influence within the United States Government
to further our own personal beliefs about how things should go,
even though we were not elected to any of these positions.
And you know, for the interest of full disclosure, the
(36:46):
chatlog I know what they are, but they're after my time, right,
so that you know, the like every organization on the planet,
now there's a you know, like an internal texting system.
For instance, although we're not being paid, we use slack
in the harbor, right, I mean, that's how we communicate
with each other. And so the Bureau now, like every
(37:06):
other organization, has something like that that they and they
and and by law, right those are our investigative communications
got to retain for a certain amount of time, right,
So I'm sure they do exist, and I'm sure you know,
knowing the Bureau. The Bureau is pretty damn good at
organizing information. And that's all thanks to Jaegar Hoover, and
that's he figured it out. If we keep records of everything,
(37:30):
even if they may seem irrelevant now in the future,
that might close the case. And so the Bureau does
and always has. So it doesn't surprise me that this
would be coming out. But that's these people, right, these
these government employees who have their positions by virtue of
being hired by the government. And let's give them the
(37:51):
benefit of the doubt and say that they got through
the door because they earned it.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
So that's fine. They have a job then, you know,
I mean, right, it may or may not be true,
but they have a job.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
But they have forgotten that their job is to serve
the American people.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Right. And this happened while I was in the bureau.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Right, is that it started to slip. We forgot what
our job was. Our job was to investigate violations of
the federal law, to ensure that the rule of law maintains,
the order of is maintained as the order of the
day in the United States.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
That's the job of the FBI.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
And started to become more of an internal security which
requires you once you transition to kind of more of
an internal security organization than a law enforcement organization. Don't
get me wrong, it was always the Bureau's mandate. I
mean that the Bureau is the internal security arm of
the US government. It has a counterintelligence counter terrorism role
(38:54):
than a big one. Right, So I'm not saying it
was inappropriate to pursue those things. But once that becomes
your mindset, it's automatically political. Like what keeps the country
secure is to a large degree subjective. And so once
you decide that this political viewpoint or this particular politician
(39:19):
is a threat to the internal security, well then you've
given yourself. You've stepped into an area where you already
have a mandate, and you can go after those things
you saw the Bureau do it. You know, all these
quote unquote white supremacist groups were labeled as domestic terrorists,
while all of these foreign influenced groups, radical Islamic fundamentalists,
(39:40):
et cetera, they were not. They were allowed to continue, right,
And so that's you're taking your position. You're allowing your
political viewpoint to color your performance of that position, but
you're not subject to election, right, I mean, you're just
hidden behind the scenes. The American populist doesn't see you
(40:02):
do it and has no ability to control you doing it.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
And that's a freaking problem.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
It's discouraging. It is you know, you think you get close,
you think you're you think people would be interested, but
they just don't. People just don't care. So we you know, listen,
at some point we'll figure all this out. We didn't
even get to the we still have. This is the tease.
I know a lot of people are wondering when we're
going to get to the Ark of the Covenant in
(40:29):
the location. We'll have to do that next time. I guess, okay, well,
all right, we didn't get to it this time. Also,
Val kilmer R I.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
P gone five, gone way too yeah, way too soon.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Terrible, terrible, But you know, that's that's pretty much.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Where we as great as Doc Holiday in Tombstone, he.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Was greatest Jim Morris, remember Jim Morrison.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Oh, he was great. Jim Morrison.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
I don't know if you want awards for either of
those roles, but he was great in both of those roles.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
The Doors was you know, it's not JFK, but it
was one of the best Oliver Stone movies of all time.
Mm hm, anyway, that's that.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Well, there you go, buddy.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Well, I mean again, we we double teased because we
said we were going to do the Ark of the Covenant.
This time, we didn't do it. We'll I'll tell you what,
We'll open with it next time. Let's just open with it, buddy,
no matter what happens, no.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Matter what, even if we both even if you and
I both forget it, we're doing it.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
We're doing it, and we'll get to it then.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
But I don't think anyone can accuse us of not
having done our job in this episode.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
We covered a lot of important topics.
Speaker 5 (41:28):
And you know, once again we've we've sort of aired
out the just absolute lunacy that is the US government
of the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. But we'll,
as you said, we'll punch through. I have confidence in
the next generation. But you won't have to wait until
the next generation to get to the Ark of the Covenant,
because we're going to do that next week right here
(41:49):
on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
You're welcome
Speaker 5 (42:03):
Mhmm.
