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 sheaf.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well. Brad There it is ac DC from the album
Slippery when Wet I Believe and just amazing, absolutely amazing
bat Ballad Rock Ballad an them.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, ballid Well was a great album.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Bon Jovi of course, not probably c DC, but big
time liberal donor to the Democratic working class is Oh yeah,
he was on the he was on the plane with Clinton.
He was like traveling around with Clinton back in the
sixteen Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, yeah, I did not know that, but yes, so
a C d C. You showed me all night long
back in Black album nineteen in black, first album with
Brian Johnson as the vocalist after Bond Scott. Unfortunately, yeah,
well he killed himself. He didn't intend to. He did
not commit to society. An unfortunate incident with drinking and
(01:53):
drugs and that resulted in his demise. But uh, Brian
Johnson been on board since nineteen eighty. Great album used
to be the ring tone for my wife as we
were just discussing until I started sitting in business meetings
and you shook me. All night long my phone would
start playing in and that's not generally speaking, what you're
looking for. And so yeah, we went to the We
(02:15):
went to their power Up concert last night. Myself, my wife,
our two oldest daughters had a great time. Was a
great show. So if anyone is listening to this very
fine program, it happens to also enjoy ac DC. This
will almost certainly be the lasts whole pushing eighty. It
was amazing to watch them, and and so you should go.
(02:36):
But you said you might go, right, it's Jillette Stadium.
They're going to be there for you.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I didn't say that. I said I was gonna. I
was locked into the bury Menelo deal on the twenty
ninth of May. It's a lot closer. Parking will be
easier because I can valid this is this is what
you know, you know you're near the end right when
you're first thoughts we're going to park? I mean, first,
I really do, I really want to go because it's
my home and it involved was me driving a car
(03:02):
unless you have someone drive you, and then you have
to pay forty dollars an hour for that, right yeah.
And then he sits there and why should you pay
him for sitting there right while the concert's going on.
Shouldn't you be off the client? And then you have
that discussion, and then at the end of the day
is no one that wants to drive you, so that's over.
So then you gotta go drive and you gotta park.
Like my wife and I did that whole thing where
we went to the Martin Short Steve Martin Duet show
(03:24):
last Christmas.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Right for an hour to parking space, right just came home,
Oh buddy, is probably you know, I think all of
us experience those sensations when we're in those of the
especially if you're the authority figure. Right. Like one of
the things that both the girls were saying last night
is we were, you know, maneuvering our way to the stadium,
(03:46):
getting into the stadium, getting to our seats, you know, then,
like you said, I was in exactly the same boat
as the As it was clear that the show is
winding down and it was a great show, I was like,
oh man, I mean there's fifty thousand people here, we
got how are we gonna find in an uber get
back to this hotel, et cetera. So I was I
admit to being in the same boat. But I will
(04:06):
tell you here's a little, you know, sort of in
a non sequitur. Here's that I did not think I
would see. When I went to the show last night,
I saw Cindy lou Who performing hard rock songs and
I'm looking at her and I'm like, and Britt, who
(04:27):
is into these things, is doing the same thing. My
my second oldest Daughter's like A yeah, I think I
reckon it. So I google her. It's Taylor momson who
is fronting this band. She played Cindy lou Who in
the two thousand, you know, live action Grinch with Carrie
Jim Carrey. In it, she played cindylu Who, and now
(04:51):
she is fronting a heavy metal band that was opening
for a CDC. So I don't know if there's you know,
six Degrees or whatever that thing is it's Kevin Bacon
from this yeah Kevin Bacon thing. But if there's one
thing I did not expect to see when I went
into the stadium last night, it was that cindylu who
(05:11):
would be in a you know, relatively revealing black dress
like outfit and jumping all over the stage singing loudly
into a microphone as part of a as part of
a hard rock band. But I I did, buddy, I
did see that. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Uh, anyway, where to start? Brat the Air Force?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I mean you are a proud grad of the Air
Force Academy. Yea, some would say it's most prominent graduate ever,
some would.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You few would say that, yes, but you might find someone.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Who I didn't say many.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I said, so that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So apparently this big you know, you know how the
US is trying to and of course we'll get to
the stock market because that's doing doing well. But do
you know Susannah Myers?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Susannah Myers, I don't believe I do.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She is a Space Force commander, The Big is in
the Space Force, Buddy, does she know Susannah Myers?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I don't know. I'll have to ask her.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Pit Toufic Space Base, Tough, Greenland. Apparently this is a Roomland, Greenland. Yeah,
she hosted JD. Vance and his wife Uma Amen Amen.
Soon to be the fifty second state after Canada, so
apparently she uh hosted JD. Van's is very nice. They
(06:36):
took photos together, and then she apparently sent an email
to her entire everyone on the base saying blasting JD.
Vance and the strategy. You know that the goals of
the Trump administration do not reflect the goals of the
pit Tofic Air Force Base, Space Force Space and uh
(07:01):
sent out this email to her staff and has been
relieved Brad of her duties. So if the Pig does
know her, she probably uh, yeah, she's.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Out on the street at this point. Well, but it's
a couple of things you can't do. And see is
this is what's amazing to me. And I can't keep
the generation straight. And I don't know how old this
woman is. I mean, my guess is if she was
truly in command of anything of any magnitude, that she's
(07:30):
you know, at least well into her thirties. But so
I don't know what generation. I don't know if that's
millennial or what that is, but there there's definitely this
weird like, like, I want you to think about this
for a second. You are an officer in the United
States military. Okay, so you serve in the military of
(07:55):
a whole country. In this case, that country is the
United States, and a very senior executive shows up on
your base, the base at which you are stationed, because
you serve in the military, and in this case, there's
only one guy more senior to this guy, because he's
(08:15):
the Vice President of the United States. And he says, Hey,
this is the policy of the United States, and this
is how it applies to you. And so you're allowed.
This is one of the great things about America. You're
allowed to think to yourself, well, I don't like that policy.
(08:36):
I don't think it's well founded. I don't think it's
going to work. I see all kinds of downsides. So oh,
you're allowed to do that, and you can think that
to yourself. But to take the next step to say, well,
I'm not going to be a part of implementing this policy.
In fact, I'm going to speak against the policy because
(08:59):
it's not the policy of this base is the most
absurd thing. The base doesn't have a policy, and the
base is a tiny little speck in a much larger organization,
and that organization has a policy, and that policy comes
from the senior executives of the government of that There
(09:22):
is no such thing as a tough space force baces policy, right,
And you are a dope to think that there might
be right to have risen to the level. And again,
I I don't know what rank she was lunch you've
been in, but you know so I'm appreciable, right, I
guess she's he's a major. And still be able to
think that your base, It's just ludicrous. It would be
(09:48):
like me sitting the family down and you know, with
my beautiful wife and my four daughters and saying, hey,
we're moving from you know here to there, and my
five year old daughter saying, well, I'm it's not my
policy to move and I'm not doing it. My square
footage in the SHEI family is not. I'm staying here, right.
(10:10):
I mean, it's just you would just look at them
and go, what are you even talking about? I mean,
set aside the fact that I'm the dad, I'm telling
you this is what's gonna happen. Just the fact that
you can hold in your head. This concept that you
matter in this process and that you're going to have
your own say in it is like there's some psychopathy
(10:30):
going on there, and yet, buddy, that's where we are.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, no, it's interesting. I did have a young five
year old today tell me that he was not going
to put his seatbelt down. So that happened.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Did you handle that as the president of the Pridham family.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
As the president's family? You know how they always tell
you to keep your cool no matter what, don't lose it.
That's the one thing you don't want to show them
because if you show them you lose your cool, then
it's over. They know they got you right exactly. Yeah,
it's like that looking girl in high school or not
so good looking. Once you call her fifteen twenty times
and hang up, they know that you like them, and
that point the gig is up. Well, I lost my
(11:08):
cool and I made the you know, you threaten everything
from incarceration to a whooping.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
No, none of them by aliens.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, none of it did, none of But he did
end up clut because we did.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Finally just say, I'm about to turn on the highway
and if I don't hear a click by the time
I turn on the highway, then you will not have
your beloved iPad for the entire weekend. And then within
thirty seconds I heard click, and then we were good.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, which he marches around with as though he were
the vice president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Correct, And to save face, he did tell me after
the click that he was never wearing a seatbelt again,
to which I responded, rather than argue, I said, Okay,
that's that's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's across that bridge when we come to it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I love that this kid is going to be successful.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
The mere fact that he can get his head around
that he had he had lost this battle. He had
not lost them, but he had lost this battle and
he needed to do something to, you know, as you say,
save a little face and prepare the battlefield for the
next battle.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It does a lot given that he's what six nice five?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, okay, yeah, no, it's uh no, it's five, and
he's still I mean, you want to you want to
talk about something that's offensive, and this is something you
would think people would would get up in arms about
and like tweet about it or something.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But he missed. He typically miss genders people. So if
you say, how is your your friend, you know, Bob today,
He'll say, oh, she's fine. And then if you say,
how's your the girl Jordan in your class, he'll say, oh,
he's he's good. And he doesn't do it on pretty
just for some reason, that's what he does. That's what
he so. But it's misgendering and it's inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know, no, it is inappropriate, and someone should you know,
probably incarcerated and make sure he understands, you know, he
needs to go back to the thought. Police need to
get a hold of him because he's he's not thinking
properly and keeping with the rest of society, and they
need to, you know, re educate. I believe was was
(13:10):
the was the term that the Soviets would use back
in the day when they would send people to some
god forsaken gulag and cut off their fingers and stuff
like that because they weren't thinking right. And that's how
you it's how you fix it. So someone needs to
get ahold of them and and re educate him until
he falls live.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, well they got to do something. We're gonna have
to uh, we're going to have to figure something out.
But you know, that's a that's a fight for a
different day, or at least until two thirty this afternoon when.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
We do the pickup, pick them up school.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You've got to pick him up and then you do
it all over again. But speaking of which, uh, you know,
saving a little face, the Chinese have now countered our
tariffs one hundred and twenty five percent tariffs of their
own on US goods. So we've got dueling one hundred
and twenty five percent tariffs going back and forth between
(14:02):
US in China, which really, for you and I, doesn't
mean a whole heck of a lot, except it's going
to be a little bit more expensive to get inexpensive
Chinese electronics and other junk that we typically collect in
the pretty.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Much those cats that you always see in the restaurants
where the arm waves perpetually and the eyes move and yeah,
you won't be able to those are going to be
marked up. Yeah. I don't pretend to know the actual
ramifications of that. I'm sure there are people who do,
(14:37):
who are jumping up and down saying, stop making fun
of minutes a big deal, And perhaps it is, but again,
this is one of those things. As Jared, our very
fine producer and I were talking this morning. You're adope
if you believe what Trump says. And I'm not calling
(14:59):
him a liar, don't get me wrong. Making a different point.
Trump steads things and even does things or effect That's
what he does, and it never ceases to amaze me
that particularly his opponents, the people that hate him the most,
and there are a lot of people out there who
just cannot control themselves. I don't know who came up
with this term, but the Trump derangement syndrome thing is real.
(15:22):
I mean that you it is not hard to find
someone where you just say the name and you can
see their blood pressure building and you can see them,
you know, digging their fingernails into their own hands. All
you've done is mentioned the name. I don't know why
he has that impact on people. I don't know why
people allow themselves to get to that point. I mean,
(15:42):
you would just think if you don't like the guy,
and shrug and move on, right. I mean, it's there's
a lot of people I don't like. I'll spend my
time thinking about them, but particularly his opponents and the media.
He'll say something and when I hear him say it,
and I look, I'm no genius. And when I hear
him say it that, I just start laughing them, like, well,
he's just doing that to rile people up to see
(16:03):
what happens, right, to see where the chips fall, and
then he'll go from there. And then particularly his opponents
just run with that stuff like it is the gospel,
like he you know, like he's he means it. He's
gonna do it. It's gonna be the end of the world.
And I just can't help but think to myself, Man,
don't you get it. Don't you get how Donald Trump works?
He used to do his on his TV show. You
(16:24):
just say things for a fact, and that's what he does.
And this this tariff thing is the same deal. He's
crazy like a fox, right. He said he's gonna do
all these tariffs. Everybody panic, market crashes. I find this fascinating.
You sent this to me, buddy, he says. He tweets
out on whatever his little version of Twitter is. He
(16:47):
you're social, true social. Thank you. He tweets it out.
He says, hey, buy, go to the markets and buy
what happens. Less than an hour later, he announces that
he's not going to impose certain terrorists and the market's skyrocket.
If you read that thing and you bought, you made
(17:11):
a killing. You want to talk about the ultimate insider trading.
When the president of the United States says, hey, like
you should buy, he probably knows something and you probably
should And if you did, no, I don't know how
many people did, because again I'm sort of speaking against myself.
(17:32):
He says things for effect, and in this case, the
effect was that the markets jumped. And if you happen
to have bought when he said that and then the
markets jump, you made a killing. And you can't. There's
no insider And literally everyone on the planet who wants
to read Trump's tweets was in the know. And I
(17:53):
just I think the guy is just crazy like a fox.
But if you if you listened to him and let
yourself get riled up because he says something, then you
are a dope and you don't get it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, And I think he does analyzing this right, which
you really need to do. It seems like what he's
trying to do is just create this full on financial
crisis and then solve it with trade deals.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
But it's sort of like some of the stuff that
goes on with the military in Russia and China. They
don't know what he's going to do. I think the
fact that he's done this, you know, it leads to
that unpredictability is what's important to get to a deal, right.
(18:44):
And I think he's gonna I think all this is
going to result in trade deals. I think it's a
matter of how he gets to them and what they say.
But my assumption is that there's going to be something
that could be pointed to across the board and all
these deals that is beneficial to the US. And if this,
if this short term market tumult leads to sustainable trade
(19:05):
deals with the Europe and China and you know whoever
else or the rest of the world that are favorable
to the US, and then so be it. I think
that's I think that's fine. I think the bigger issue
that's sort of going on right now is this whole
uh deal with the House Reconciliation Bill and the and
(19:26):
the tax program, because that's and in the and the cuts, right,
the cuts kind offying some of the Doze cuts. I
think that's gonna happen too. And it looks like the
House just recently this past week passed a bill that
that uh, lined up with the Senate, so it looks
like they're going to be able to do something. But
(19:49):
that I think that's the I think that's the next
big thing. If he can solve this trade stuff by
the summer and get sustainable trade deals with these other countries,
if he can get this tax bill through, and you know,
as we talked about, I think also conceding on the
top right might not be the worst thing. Conceding uncarried
interest might not be the worst thing. But regardless of that,
if you can get that through by the summer, you know,
(20:11):
then you're going to see an economy that's rock and rolling,
I think, because at that point you don't have you
have a lot more predictability on the fiscal policy, and
you get maybe you get a couple more rate cuts,
but there is a there is I think there's a
method to this. But if you see those things sort
of starting to fall into place, then that that's a
big deal.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Oh yeah, Well, and he knows he's on the clock.
But he knows that the clock is you know, I mean,
he's still in the first half, if you will, if
you want to use a sports anology, and he's got
room to maneuver. I mean, when is the next time
it matters. This is the other thing that just I
just find fascinating about the counter narrative to Trump, of which,
(20:51):
you know, which is loud and voluminous. Right, there are
a lot of I think some would argue, the vast
majority of media out let's don't like them, and so
they run with these, you know, anti Trump narratives and
it doesn't matter. You know, it's just for a few weeks.
(21:11):
A few weeks ago they had that election in Wisconsin,
then they elected the liberal to the Supreme Court. We
talked about this, and you know, you read the news
the next day and the left is just crowing about
how you know, this is a warning to Trump and
this is the backlash against Mega. I just started laughing.
I was like, listen for what for what? It doesn't
(21:32):
matter until the midterm elections. It just doesn't matter. And
the US electorate has a thirty second attention span. So
if thirty seconds before we all go in to vote
in the mid terms, the economy is up, and you know,
Trump's done some good things, and you got more money
(21:52):
in your pocket, and you know, the sun is out
and your kids are in school, and you feel pretty
good about the world. You're that's how you're going to
You're gonna go in and go. You know what, I
feel good about myself and this Trump guy. You know,
maybe I had him wrong. What happened a year and
a half before that. You know, I e today doesn't
freaking matter. No one's gonna remember it. So to your point,
(22:15):
if by especially if by this summer, the train seems
to be on the tracks and moving in the right direction,
and you know, the people that we're talking about how
Trump's a Nazi, and you know he's all of a sudden,
you're just going to see jack booted thugs marching through
the streets of America and taking your children away, and
yeah whatever, I mean, people just said these crazy things.
(22:35):
They would say, none of that's happened. The trains on
the tracks, the economy is moving the right direction. What
happens today just doesn't matter. And he gets that, right,
I mean, the lesson that. And it's not just Trump, right,
I mean, Trump is who he is. He's definitely the
front man for the band, right, I mean, that's that's
the guy. But he has a lot of smart people
working for him, and they get it. They get that
(22:58):
they have this window at the at the outset of
his administration, and that they blew it in his first administration,
that they did not take advantage of this. But they've
learned that lesson. They've got this window where they can
effectively do anything. Because even if even if everything Trump
does everybody hates, there's no mechanism for you know, rebuking
(23:19):
him until the midterms. And so they're they're doing all
this stuff now there, We're gonna all get squeezed. There's
gonna be some pain. And the hope is that he
knows what he's doing. And as you say that, he's
gonna he's gonna take these terrafs and negotiate trade deals,
get the economy going lower, the interest rates, reduce inflation,
all those things. And if he does it, and look out, man,
(23:39):
because in the midterms, the Republicans might have just dominant
majorities in both houses.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Johnny bar the doors, as they say, as they say, finally, Bert,
we've been teasing this for weeks, but we got to
do this. Do you know, major ed Dames, did you
run across him during any of your time in the army?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It dangs and dans I don't. I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So he was in the army in the seventies and
then CIA in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I was in the elementary school in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But he didn't run that.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
At all, well, not to I mean it may have
come to a career day perhaps, but not to my knowledge.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
It would have been odd. But he could have been there. Yeah, yeah,
so he apparently. So that you know, there's this whole
deal where and you know this, right, I mean you've
seen Indiana Jones and the and the right is the
lost Arc. I mean since the beginning of time, man
has sought the Arc of the Covenant. Not the beginning,
that would be odd, but for a long time man,
(24:43):
at least.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Since it was built.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, because when you control the arc, you control information,
that's mail. When you control the arc, you you typically
you have a winning I mean you right, you, yeah,
your army is undefeated. And that's why Hitler tried to
get it and then get up in the Isle of
Man where all those people's faces melted.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, right, right, which happens on the Isle of Man.
But let's need to hear.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Another correct, where they're scraping moss off rocks because they
thought it was a potato, but now they're here, and
then they put it in my basement the arc of
the covenment. But what's what's interesting is this project, and
this is something you may have been a part of
as your you know, as part of your your We
were part of Project Stargate or also known Brad as
(25:29):
the Stargate Project.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Now, I don't believe I was.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
It ran from nineteen seventy seven until nineteen ninety five
when it was terminated because.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
It was a long time.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, it was deemed wholly unsuccessful. Okay, but apparently this
is a project where people would they would get individuals
that were known as remote viewers, including Major Danes. It
was a major Brad Major Danes at Danes was a major.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Who love viewers.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
He's a remote viewer who would be able to perceive
information about distant objects, people and or locations.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
And you say this was wholly unsuccessful, It was.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Holy un Well I didn't say that, No, I said
it was deemed wholly unsuccessful when they when they terminated
the project after just twenty years of twenty years of
a run, right, you imagine how much they spent on
this thing. But these guys would stand a remote location
and they'd focus on objects, right, like Russian tanks in
Afghanistan or whatever, and they could just look at the
(26:36):
satellite imagery. I would think, but this is something. And
then they were also obviously right, because you know, Bill
Casey ran the CIA in the eighties and he was
known for his connection to the Nazi. I mean no,
he was known for his love of the occult that
was Nancy Reagan. I'm sorry, Joan Dixon the whole. But
(26:57):
in any event, Danes was asked by his handlers too
to locate the Arc of the Covenant, and so as
part of his remit, he used his remote viewing skills
to track down the arc, and he located it at
what's called the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron in
the West Bank. Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Or did they go? And did they go and get it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't think they might.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Patriarch sounds like a Disneyland ride. I mean, just for
the record, I like it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So you're not aware of the Cave of the Patriarchs,
Great Pavo.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
No, I'm never to my knowledge, but I've been in
a few caves, most of them here in the United
States and have a little tour, and you could see
some stalactites and Stalagnites. But I've never been in the
in the Cave of the Patriarchs. So did they you know,
subsequent to Major Danes viewing this thing remotely identifying its
presence there in hebron in the West Bank, which is,
(27:51):
you know, unfortunate in terms of being able to operate
smoothly in there. The West Bank's a little bit of
a nutty place. So did they did they grab it?
Get it out of there? Display?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, then, if you believe the movie, they did. But
if you believe names Dames said that, well, first of all,
a little background to the Cave of the Patriarchs of
which you are not aware. No, Apparently, according to Jewish,
Christian and Islamic traditions, it is the burial place of
key Biblical figures, including Abraham and Jacob.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, unlikely.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
But well, he's a remote year But I'm not I'm
gonna come right out and say that I am not
a remote viewer. But you know, if you do read Bible,
which is you know where we get the patriarchs. Abraham
died in one place, Jacob died in another very different place.
Jacob was Egypt when he died. But you know what,
(28:52):
I again, I'm I'm not a remote view it's not
part of Project Stargate or the Stargate project. So I
am willing to be educated as to this.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well, so that's a good segue because Major Dames today
teaches remote viewing to people. So you can probably learn
that he to take a course. He also performs his
uses his abilities to find lost children. Last year he
performed his search for a missing French toddler. He pinpointed
a field that was field, a field that was relatively
(29:24):
close to the remains of the boy and relatively he
also last year, Brad last year said he conducted a
He said. He said that last year he conducted a
search for the arc and he said, it's in a
dark place. I feel very insecure because there's a feeling
(29:44):
that I can't describe. It scares me. He's in a
stone tunnel and it's the box. The object is boxy,
it's heavy and it's dense. He said, he's a little antsy,
but it's the ark of the Covenant and anybody. He's
conducted a bunch of remote locations and he said within
(30:06):
meters of the Cave of the Patriarchs.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So it's there.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Well, there you go, And I think, well, you can't
now that stargate's disbanded. I suppose there's no operational force
that's able to go in there.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, well you would think if he's teaching remote viewing,
you and I can just do it right now from
where we are, right, go get it you. Well, I
mean we could go. You and I could take a trip,
go get it. I don't know what the airline situation
is there now. I don't really want to go, but
we could know. What I was saying was Major Danes
(30:43):
is teaching that course, and the course is in remote viewing.
It's nonsense that he would make you go someplace, right Like,
we shouldn't have to be where he is. He's a
remote viewing guy, should be able to implant the knowledge
into our heads where we are. So I mean we
should think about that taking that course.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, I mean probably not a bad idea. I mean
it could certainly work. Well, he did a couple other nuggets.
Danes admitted that quote the working hypothesis behind remote viewing
does not meet with Western scientific theory because there's no
evidence to support the existence of this psychic phenomena, and
also back to Project Stargate. In the seventies and eighties,
(31:27):
the US government spent over twenty million in taxpayer funds
to find the k about that, but other various and
sundry items. I think they'd probably say that that's a
wee bit high, considering we didn't spend a tenth of
that to try to figure out who murdered John F. Kennedy.
But you know again, maybe someone just needs to remote
(31:48):
view and figure out who pulled that trigger.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Maybe Kennedy is in the cave of the patriarchs. May
we've got this whole thing wrong. He's not actually dead
and he's just sitting on the arc.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know what's interesting, I could do remote viewing and
then it would completely eliminate the parking situation for the
Berry Menelo concept.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
You know what, buddy, now you're thinking, Now we've taken
this concept that is otherwise silly and given in a meaningful,
concrete application.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You manny get dates on the phone.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
You could know where your parking spot was going to
be before you even left to go to the Berry
Manilo concert. Imagine the feeling of security that would give you.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It would be a life. It just changed my life
for the for the bet.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
You'd be able to enjoy the concert. Then you could
remote view the most expeditious path through traffic on your
way home. You can just say, Okay, i'm gonna get
on fifth, I'm going to take that to blowman, I'm
going to make a left.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Then you just remote you the whole thing. You remote
you the concert and get the car to go.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
All you never leave the company of your own own you.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Everget the car. You never I'm going to remote you
the super Bowl. Wow, that was something, yes, but you
could still be present with your family eating snow.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
See this is we should get Danes on the phone it.
We should get him on the podcast. People probably be interested.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Do you think we can get him, Jared? Do you
think we can get him on the podcast?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I'm on it.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
That'd be amazing.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Jared is on it, very fine producer is on it, buddy.
I mean, there you go. This has been I mean again,
if you if you were debating to yourself, hey, I
could tune in to the podcast, this very fine program
that I'd be frequently podcast. I could do that with
you know, forty five minutes an hour of my time,
or you know, I could comb through the carpet for
(33:36):
you know, lost beads and jewelry, what would be the
best expenditure at my time, and you decided to go podcasting.
You are right now, you are patting yourself on the back.
You are saying, man, I could have missed all of that.
I could have missed all of the ac DC and
Barry Manilow discussion. I could have missed the parking discussion.
I could have missed, you know, a little dabble into
the economy and politics. Most importantly, I could have missed
(33:59):
And then you shudder a little bit right at the
thought of it. I could have missed this very informative
and potentially life changing discussion on remote viewing. But I didn't.
I didn't. I tuned into the podcast. I did what
I knew I should do. My gut was telling me,
get on that podcast. There's going to be important information.
And we provided it, buddy. We provided it. We know
(34:19):
where the arc is, we know how to get it,
but more importantly, we know how it was found and
how that could apply to our lives. Barking the Super Bowl,
not having to go to the Berry Manilow concert, and
I got all of that in in one episode of
this podcast, and we will do it again next week
(34:39):
right here on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
This has been IP frequently, once again, clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
You're welcome.
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 sheaf.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well. Brad There it is ac DC from the album
Slippery when Wet I Believe and just amazing, absolutely amazing
bat Ballad Rock Ballad an them.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, ballid Well was a great album.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Bon Jovi of course, not probably c DC, but big
time liberal donor to the Democratic working class is Oh yeah,
he was on the he was on the plane with Clinton.
He was like traveling around with Clinton back in the
sixteen Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, yeah, I did not know that, but yes, so
a C d C. You showed me all night long
back in Black album nineteen in black, first album with
Brian Johnson as the vocalist after Bond Scott. Unfortunately, yeah,
well he killed himself. He didn't intend to. He did
not commit to society. An unfortunate incident with drinking and
(01:53):
drugs and that resulted in his demise. But uh, Brian
Johnson been on board since nineteen eighty. Great album used
to be the ring tone for my wife as we
were just discussing until I started sitting in business meetings
and you shook me. All night long my phone would
start playing in and that's not generally speaking, what you're
looking for. And so yeah, we went to the We
(02:15):
went to their power Up concert last night. Myself, my wife,
our two oldest daughters had a great time. Was a
great show. So if anyone is listening to this very
fine program, it happens to also enjoy ac DC. This
will almost certainly be the lasts whole pushing eighty. It
was amazing to watch them, and and so you should go.
(02:36):
But you said you might go, right, it's Jillette Stadium.
They're going to be there for you.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I didn't say that. I said I was gonna. I
was locked into the bury Menelo deal on the twenty
ninth of May. It's a lot closer. Parking will be
easier because I can valid this is this is what
you know, you know you're near the end right when
you're first thoughts we're going to park? I mean, first,
I really do, I really want to go because it's
my home and it involved was me driving a car
(03:02):
unless you have someone drive you, and then you have
to pay forty dollars an hour for that, right yeah.
And then he sits there and why should you pay
him for sitting there right while the concert's going on.
Shouldn't you be off the client? And then you have
that discussion, and then at the end of the day
is no one that wants to drive you, so that's over.
So then you gotta go drive and you gotta park.
Like my wife and I did that whole thing where
we went to the Martin Short Steve Martin Duet show
(03:24):
last Christmas.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Right for an hour to parking space, right just came home,
Oh buddy, is probably you know, I think all of
us experience those sensations when we're in those of the
especially if you're the authority figure. Right. Like one of
the things that both the girls were saying last night
is we were, you know, maneuvering our way to the stadium,
(03:46):
getting into the stadium, getting to our seats, you know, then,
like you said, I was in exactly the same boat
as the As it was clear that the show is
winding down and it was a great show, I was like,
oh man, I mean there's fifty thousand people here, we
got how are we gonna find in an uber get
back to this hotel, et cetera. So I was I
admit to being in the same boat. But I will
(04:06):
tell you here's a little, you know, sort of in
a non sequitur. Here's that I did not think I
would see. When I went to the show last night,
I saw Cindy lou Who performing hard rock songs and
I'm looking at her and I'm like, and Britt, who
(04:27):
is into these things, is doing the same thing. My
my second oldest Daughter's like A yeah, I think I
reckon it. So I google her. It's Taylor momson who
is fronting this band. She played Cindy lou Who in
the two thousand, you know, live action Grinch with Carrie
Jim Carrey. In it, she played cindylu Who, and now
(04:51):
she is fronting a heavy metal band that was opening
for a CDC. So I don't know if there's you know,
six Degrees or whatever that thing is it's Kevin Bacon
from this yeah Kevin Bacon thing. But if there's one
thing I did not expect to see when I went
into the stadium last night, it was that cindylu who
(05:11):
would be in a you know, relatively revealing black dress
like outfit and jumping all over the stage singing loudly
into a microphone as part of a as part of
a hard rock band. But I I did, buddy, I
did see that. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Uh, anyway, where to start? Brat the Air Force?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I mean you are a proud grad of the Air
Force Academy. Yea, some would say it's most prominent graduate ever,
some would.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You few would say that, yes, but you might find someone.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Who I didn't say many.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I said, so that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So apparently this big you know, you know how the
US is trying to and of course we'll get to
the stock market because that's doing doing well. But do
you know Susannah Myers?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Susannah Myers, I don't believe I do.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She is a Space Force commander, The Big is in
the Space Force, Buddy, does she know Susannah Myers?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I don't know. I'll have to ask her.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Pit Toufic Space Base, Tough, Greenland. Apparently this is a Roomland, Greenland. Yeah,
she hosted JD. Vance and his wife Uma Amen Amen.
Soon to be the fifty second state after Canada, so
apparently she uh hosted JD. Van's is very nice. They
(06:36):
took photos together, and then she apparently sent an email
to her entire everyone on the base saying blasting JD.
Vance and the strategy. You know that the goals of
the Trump administration do not reflect the goals of the
pit Tofic Air Force Base, Space Force Space and uh
(07:01):
sent out this email to her staff and has been
relieved Brad of her duties. So if the Pig does
know her, she probably uh, yeah, she's.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Out on the street at this point. Well, but it's
a couple of things you can't do. And see is
this is what's amazing to me. And I can't keep
the generation straight. And I don't know how old this
woman is. I mean, my guess is if she was
truly in command of anything of any magnitude, that she's
(07:30):
you know, at least well into her thirties. But so
I don't know what generation. I don't know if that's
millennial or what that is, but there there's definitely this
weird like, like, I want you to think about this
for a second. You are an officer in the United
States military. Okay, so you serve in the military of
(07:55):
a whole country. In this case, that country is the
United States, and a very senior executive shows up on
your base, the base at which you are stationed, because
you serve in the military, and in this case, there's
only one guy more senior to this guy, because he's
(08:15):
the Vice President of the United States. And he says, Hey,
this is the policy of the United States, and this
is how it applies to you. And so you're allowed.
This is one of the great things about America. You're
allowed to think to yourself, well, I don't like that policy.
(08:36):
I don't think it's well founded. I don't think it's
going to work. I see all kinds of downsides. So oh,
you're allowed to do that, and you can think that
to yourself. But to take the next step to say, well,
I'm not going to be a part of implementing this policy.
In fact, I'm going to speak against the policy because
(08:59):
it's not the policy of this base is the most
absurd thing. The base doesn't have a policy, and the
base is a tiny little speck in a much larger organization,
and that organization has a policy, and that policy comes
from the senior executives of the government of that There
(09:22):
is no such thing as a tough space force baces policy, right,
And you are a dope to think that there might
be right to have risen to the level. And again,
I I don't know what rank she was lunch you've
been in, but you know so I'm appreciable, right, I
guess she's he's a major. And still be able to
think that your base, It's just ludicrous. It would be
(09:48):
like me sitting the family down and you know, with
my beautiful wife and my four daughters and saying, hey,
we're moving from you know here to there, and my
five year old daughter saying, well, I'm it's not my
policy to move and I'm not doing it. My square
footage in the SHEI family is not. I'm staying here, right.
(10:10):
I mean, it's just you would just look at them
and go, what are you even talking about? I mean,
set aside the fact that I'm the dad, I'm telling
you this is what's gonna happen. Just the fact that
you can hold in your head. This concept that you
matter in this process and that you're going to have
your own say in it is like there's some psychopathy
(10:30):
going on there, and yet, buddy, that's where we are.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, no, it's interesting. I did have a young five
year old today tell me that he was not going
to put his seatbelt down. So that happened.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Did you handle that as the president of the Pridham family.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
As the president's family? You know how they always tell
you to keep your cool no matter what, don't lose it.
That's the one thing you don't want to show them
because if you show them you lose your cool, then
it's over. They know they got you right exactly. Yeah,
it's like that looking girl in high school or not
so good looking. Once you call her fifteen twenty times
and hang up, they know that you like them, and
that point the gig is up. Well, I lost my
(11:08):
cool and I made the you know, you threaten everything
from incarceration to a whooping.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
No, none of them by aliens.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, none of it did, none of But he did
end up clut because we did.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Finally just say, I'm about to turn on the highway
and if I don't hear a click by the time
I turn on the highway, then you will not have
your beloved iPad for the entire weekend. And then within
thirty seconds I heard click, and then we were good.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, which he marches around with as though he were
the vice president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Correct, And to save face, he did tell me after
the click that he was never wearing a seatbelt again,
to which I responded, rather than argue, I said, Okay,
that's that's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's across that bridge when we come to it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I love that this kid is going to be successful.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
The mere fact that he can get his head around
that he had he had lost this battle. He had
not lost them, but he had lost this battle and
he needed to do something to, you know, as you say,
save a little face and prepare the battlefield for the
next battle.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It does a lot given that he's what six nice five?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, okay, yeah, no, it's uh no, it's five, and
he's still I mean, you want to you want to
talk about something that's offensive, and this is something you
would think people would would get up in arms about
and like tweet about it or something.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But he missed. He typically miss genders people. So if
you say, how is your your friend, you know, Bob today,
He'll say, oh, she's fine. And then if you say,
how's your the girl Jordan in your class, he'll say, oh,
he's he's good. And he doesn't do it on pretty
just for some reason, that's what he does. That's what
he so. But it's misgendering and it's inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know, no, it is inappropriate, and someone should you know,
probably incarcerated and make sure he understands, you know, he
needs to go back to the thought. Police need to
get a hold of him because he's he's not thinking
properly and keeping with the rest of society, and they
need to, you know, re educate. I believe was was
(13:10):
the was the term that the Soviets would use back
in the day when they would send people to some
god forsaken gulag and cut off their fingers and stuff
like that because they weren't thinking right. And that's how
you it's how you fix it. So someone needs to
get ahold of them and and re educate him until
he falls live.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, well they got to do something. We're gonna have
to uh, we're going to have to figure something out.
But you know, that's a that's a fight for a
different day, or at least until two thirty this afternoon when.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
We do the pickup, pick them up school.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You've got to pick him up and then you do
it all over again. But speaking of which, uh, you know,
saving a little face, the Chinese have now countered our
tariffs one hundred and twenty five percent tariffs of their
own on US goods. So we've got dueling one hundred
and twenty five percent tariffs going back and forth between
(14:02):
US in China, which really, for you and I, doesn't
mean a whole heck of a lot, except it's going
to be a little bit more expensive to get inexpensive
Chinese electronics and other junk that we typically collect in
the pretty.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Much those cats that you always see in the restaurants
where the arm waves perpetually and the eyes move and yeah,
you won't be able to those are going to be
marked up. Yeah. I don't pretend to know the actual
ramifications of that. I'm sure there are people who do,
(14:37):
who are jumping up and down saying, stop making fun
of minutes a big deal, And perhaps it is, but again,
this is one of those things. As Jared, our very
fine producer and I were talking this morning. You're adope
if you believe what Trump says. And I'm not calling
(14:59):
him a liar, don't get me wrong. Making a different point.
Trump steads things and even does things or effect That's
what he does, and it never ceases to amaze me
that particularly his opponents, the people that hate him the most,
and there are a lot of people out there who
just cannot control themselves. I don't know who came up
with this term, but the Trump derangement syndrome thing is real.
(15:22):
I mean that you it is not hard to find
someone where you just say the name and you can
see their blood pressure building and you can see them,
you know, digging their fingernails into their own hands. All
you've done is mentioned the name. I don't know why
he has that impact on people. I don't know why
people allow themselves to get to that point. I mean,
(15:42):
you would just think if you don't like the guy,
and shrug and move on, right. I mean, it's there's
a lot of people I don't like. I'll spend my
time thinking about them, but particularly his opponents and the media.
He'll say something and when I hear him say it,
and I look, I'm no genius. And when I hear
him say it that, I just start laughing them, like, well,
he's just doing that to rile people up to see
(16:03):
what happens, right, to see where the chips fall, and
then he'll go from there. And then particularly his opponents
just run with that stuff like it is the gospel,
like he you know, like he's he means it. He's
gonna do it. It's gonna be the end of the world.
And I just can't help but think to myself, Man,
don't you get it. Don't you get how Donald Trump works?
He used to do his on his TV show. You
(16:24):
just say things for a fact, and that's what he does.
And this this tariff thing is the same deal. He's
crazy like a fox, right. He said he's gonna do
all these tariffs. Everybody panic, market crashes. I find this fascinating.
You sent this to me, buddy, he says. He tweets
out on whatever his little version of Twitter is. He
(16:47):
you're social, true social. Thank you. He tweets it out.
He says, hey, buy, go to the markets and buy
what happens. Less than an hour later, he announces that
he's not going to impose certain terrorists and the market's skyrocket.
If you read that thing and you bought, you made
(17:11):
a killing. You want to talk about the ultimate insider trading.
When the president of the United States says, hey, like
you should buy, he probably knows something and you probably
should And if you did, no, I don't know how
many people did, because again I'm sort of speaking against myself.
(17:32):
He says things for effect, and in this case, the
effect was that the markets jumped. And if you happen
to have bought when he said that and then the
markets jump, you made a killing. And you can't. There's
no insider And literally everyone on the planet who wants
to read Trump's tweets was in the know. And I
(17:53):
just I think the guy is just crazy like a fox.
But if you if you listened to him and let
yourself get riled up because he says something, then you
are a dope and you don't get it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, And I think he does analyzing this right, which
you really need to do. It seems like what he's
trying to do is just create this full on financial
crisis and then solve it with trade deals.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
But it's sort of like some of the stuff that
goes on with the military in Russia and China. They
don't know what he's going to do. I think the
fact that he's done this, you know, it leads to
that unpredictability is what's important to get to a deal, right.
(18:44):
And I think he's gonna I think all this is
going to result in trade deals. I think it's a
matter of how he gets to them and what they say.
But my assumption is that there's going to be something
that could be pointed to across the board and all
these deals that is beneficial to the US. And if this,
if this short term market tumult leads to sustainable trade
(19:05):
deals with the Europe and China and you know whoever
else or the rest of the world that are favorable
to the US, and then so be it. I think
that's I think that's fine. I think the bigger issue
that's sort of going on right now is this whole
uh deal with the House Reconciliation Bill and the and
(19:26):
the tax program, because that's and in the and the cuts, right,
the cuts kind offying some of the Doze cuts. I
think that's gonna happen too. And it looks like the
House just recently this past week passed a bill that
that uh, lined up with the Senate, so it looks
like they're going to be able to do something. But
(19:49):
that I think that's the I think that's the next
big thing. If he can solve this trade stuff by
the summer and get sustainable trade deals with these other countries,
if he can get this tax bill through, and you know,
as we talked about, I think also conceding on the
top right might not be the worst thing. Conceding uncarried
interest might not be the worst thing. But regardless of that,
if you can get that through by the summer, you know,
(20:11):
then you're going to see an economy that's rock and rolling,
I think, because at that point you don't have you
have a lot more predictability on the fiscal policy, and
you get maybe you get a couple more rate cuts,
but there is a there is I think there's a
method to this. But if you see those things sort
of starting to fall into place, then that that's a
big deal.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Oh yeah, Well, and he knows he's on the clock.
But he knows that the clock is you know, I mean,
he's still in the first half, if you will, if
you want to use a sports anology, and he's got
room to maneuver. I mean, when is the next time
it matters. This is the other thing that just I
just find fascinating about the counter narrative to Trump, of which,
(20:51):
you know, which is loud and voluminous. Right, there are
a lot of I think some would argue, the vast
majority of media out let's don't like them, and so
they run with these, you know, anti Trump narratives and
it doesn't matter. You know, it's just for a few weeks.
(21:11):
A few weeks ago they had that election in Wisconsin,
then they elected the liberal to the Supreme Court. We
talked about this, and you know, you read the news
the next day and the left is just crowing about
how you know, this is a warning to Trump and
this is the backlash against Mega. I just started laughing.
I was like, listen for what for what? It doesn't
(21:32):
matter until the midterm elections. It just doesn't matter. And
the US electorate has a thirty second attention span. So
if thirty seconds before we all go in to vote
in the mid terms, the economy is up, and you know,
Trump's done some good things, and you got more money
(21:52):
in your pocket, and you know, the sun is out
and your kids are in school, and you feel pretty
good about the world. You're that's how you're going to
You're gonna go in and go. You know what, I
feel good about myself and this Trump guy. You know,
maybe I had him wrong. What happened a year and
a half before that. You know, I e today doesn't
freaking matter. No one's gonna remember it. So to your point,
(22:15):
if by especially if by this summer, the train seems
to be on the tracks and moving in the right direction,
and you know, the people that we're talking about how
Trump's a Nazi, and you know he's all of a sudden,
you're just going to see jack booted thugs marching through
the streets of America and taking your children away, and
yeah whatever, I mean, people just said these crazy things.
(22:35):
They would say, none of that's happened. The trains on
the tracks, the economy is moving the right direction. What
happens today just doesn't matter. And he gets that, right,
I mean, the lesson that. And it's not just Trump, right,
I mean, Trump is who he is. He's definitely the
front man for the band, right, I mean, that's that's
the guy. But he has a lot of smart people
working for him, and they get it. They get that
(22:58):
they have this window at the at the outset of
his administration, and that they blew it in his first administration,
that they did not take advantage of this. But they've
learned that lesson. They've got this window where they can
effectively do anything. Because even if even if everything Trump
does everybody hates, there's no mechanism for you know, rebuking
(23:19):
him until the midterms. And so they're they're doing all
this stuff now there, We're gonna all get squeezed. There's
gonna be some pain. And the hope is that he
knows what he's doing. And as you say that, he's
gonna he's gonna take these terrafs and negotiate trade deals,
get the economy going lower, the interest rates, reduce inflation,
all those things. And if he does it, and look out, man,
(23:39):
because in the midterms, the Republicans might have just dominant
majorities in both houses.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Johnny bar the doors, as they say, as they say, finally, Bert,
we've been teasing this for weeks, but we got to
do this. Do you know, major ed Dames, did you
run across him during any of your time in the army?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It dangs and dans I don't. I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So he was in the army in the seventies and
then CIA in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I was in the elementary school in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But he didn't run that.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
At all, well, not to I mean it may have
come to a career day perhaps, but not to my knowledge.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
It would have been odd. But he could have been there. Yeah, yeah,
so he apparently. So that you know, there's this whole
deal where and you know this, right, I mean you've
seen Indiana Jones and the and the right is the
lost Arc. I mean since the beginning of time, man
has sought the Arc of the Covenant. Not the beginning,
that would be odd, but for a long time man,
(24:43):
at least.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Since it was built.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, because when you control the arc, you control information,
that's mail. When you control the arc, you you typically
you have a winning I mean you right, you, yeah,
your army is undefeated. And that's why Hitler tried to
get it and then get up in the Isle of
Man where all those people's faces melted.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, right, right, which happens on the Isle of Man.
But let's need to hear.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Another correct, where they're scraping moss off rocks because they
thought it was a potato, but now they're here, and
then they put it in my basement the arc of
the covenment. But what's what's interesting is this project, and
this is something you may have been a part of
as your you know, as part of your your We
were part of Project Stargate or also known Brad as
(25:29):
the Stargate Project.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Now, I don't believe I was.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
It ran from nineteen seventy seven until nineteen ninety five
when it was terminated because.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
It was a long time.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, it was deemed wholly unsuccessful. Okay, but apparently this
is a project where people would they would get individuals
that were known as remote viewers, including Major Danes. It
was a major Brad Major Danes at Danes was a major.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Who love viewers.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
He's a remote viewer who would be able to perceive
information about distant objects, people and or locations.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
And you say this was wholly unsuccessful, It was.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Holy un Well I didn't say that, No, I said
it was deemed wholly unsuccessful when they when they terminated
the project after just twenty years of twenty years of
a run, right, you imagine how much they spent on
this thing. But these guys would stand a remote location
and they'd focus on objects, right, like Russian tanks in
Afghanistan or whatever, and they could just look at the
(26:36):
satellite imagery. I would think, but this is something. And
then they were also obviously right, because you know, Bill
Casey ran the CIA in the eighties and he was
known for his connection to the Nazi. I mean no,
he was known for his love of the occult that
was Nancy Reagan. I'm sorry, Joan Dixon the whole. But
(26:57):
in any event, Danes was asked by his handlers too
to locate the Arc of the Covenant, and so as
part of his remit, he used his remote viewing skills
to track down the arc, and he located it at
what's called the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron in
the West Bank. Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Or did they go? And did they go and get it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't think they might.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Patriarch sounds like a Disneyland ride. I mean, just for
the record, I like it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So you're not aware of the Cave of the Patriarchs,
Great Pavo.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
No, I'm never to my knowledge, but I've been in
a few caves, most of them here in the United
States and have a little tour, and you could see
some stalactites and Stalagnites. But I've never been in the
in the Cave of the Patriarchs. So did they you know,
subsequent to Major Danes viewing this thing remotely identifying its
presence there in hebron in the West Bank, which is,
(27:51):
you know, unfortunate in terms of being able to operate
smoothly in there. The West Bank's a little bit of
a nutty place. So did they did they grab it?
Get it out of there? Display?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, then, if you believe the movie, they did. But
if you believe names Dames said that, well, first of all,
a little background to the Cave of the Patriarchs of
which you are not aware. No, Apparently, according to Jewish,
Christian and Islamic traditions, it is the burial place of
key Biblical figures, including Abraham and Jacob.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, unlikely.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
But well, he's a remote year But I'm not I'm
gonna come right out and say that I am not
a remote viewer. But you know, if you do read Bible,
which is you know where we get the patriarchs. Abraham
died in one place, Jacob died in another very different place.
Jacob was Egypt when he died. But you know what,
(28:52):
I again, I'm I'm not a remote view it's not
part of Project Stargate or the Stargate project. So I
am willing to be educated as to this.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well, so that's a good segue because Major Dames today
teaches remote viewing to people. So you can probably learn
that he to take a course. He also performs his
uses his abilities to find lost children. Last year he
performed his search for a missing French toddler. He pinpointed
a field that was field, a field that was relatively
(29:24):
close to the remains of the boy and relatively he
also last year, Brad last year said he conducted a
He said. He said that last year he conducted a
search for the arc and he said, it's in a
dark place. I feel very insecure because there's a feeling
(29:44):
that I can't describe. It scares me. He's in a
stone tunnel and it's the box. The object is boxy,
it's heavy and it's dense. He said, he's a little antsy,
but it's the ark of the Covenant and anybody. He's
conducted a bunch of remote locations and he said within
(30:06):
meters of the Cave of the Patriarchs.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So it's there.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Well, there you go, And I think, well, you can't
now that stargate's disbanded. I suppose there's no operational force
that's able to go in there.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, well you would think if he's teaching remote viewing,
you and I can just do it right now from
where we are, right, go get it you. Well, I
mean we could go. You and I could take a trip,
go get it. I don't know what the airline situation
is there now. I don't really want to go, but
we could know. What I was saying was Major Danes
(30:43):
is teaching that course, and the course is in remote viewing.
It's nonsense that he would make you go someplace, right Like,
we shouldn't have to be where he is. He's a
remote viewing guy, should be able to implant the knowledge
into our heads where we are. So I mean we
should think about that taking that course.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, I mean probably not a bad idea. I mean
it could certainly work. Well, he did a couple other nuggets.
Danes admitted that quote the working hypothesis behind remote viewing
does not meet with Western scientific theory because there's no
evidence to support the existence of this psychic phenomena, and
also back to Project Stargate. In the seventies and eighties,
(31:27):
the US government spent over twenty million in taxpayer funds
to find the k about that, but other various and
sundry items. I think they'd probably say that that's a
wee bit high, considering we didn't spend a tenth of
that to try to figure out who murdered John F. Kennedy.
But you know again, maybe someone just needs to remote
(31:48):
view and figure out who pulled that trigger.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Maybe Kennedy is in the cave of the patriarchs. May
we've got this whole thing wrong. He's not actually dead
and he's just sitting on the arc.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know what's interesting, I could do remote viewing and
then it would completely eliminate the parking situation for the
Berry Menelo concept.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
You know what, buddy, now you're thinking, Now we've taken
this concept that is otherwise silly and given in a meaningful,
concrete application.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You manny get dates on the phone.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
You could know where your parking spot was going to
be before you even left to go to the Berry
Manilo concert. Imagine the feeling of security that would give you.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It would be a life. It just changed my life
for the for the bet.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
You'd be able to enjoy the concert. Then you could
remote view the most expeditious path through traffic on your
way home. You can just say, Okay, i'm gonna get
on fifth, I'm going to take that to blowman, I'm
going to make a left.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Then you just remote you the whole thing. You remote
you the concert and get the car to go.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
All you never leave the company of your own own you.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Everget the car. You never I'm going to remote you
the super Bowl. Wow, that was something, yes, but you
could still be present with your family eating snow.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
See this is we should get Danes on the phone it.
We should get him on the podcast. People probably be interested.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Do you think we can get him, Jared? Do you
think we can get him on the podcast?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I'm on it.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
That'd be amazing.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Jared is on it, very fine producer is on it, buddy.
I mean, there you go. This has been I mean again,
if you if you were debating to yourself, hey, I
could tune in to the podcast, this very fine program
that I'd be frequently podcast. I could do that with
you know, forty five minutes an hour of my time,
or you know, I could comb through the carpet for
(33:36):
you know, lost beads and jewelry, what would be the
best expenditure at my time, and you decided to go podcasting.
You are right now, you are patting yourself on the back.
You are saying, man, I could have missed all of that.
I could have missed all of the ac DC and
Barry Manilow discussion. I could have missed the parking discussion.
I could have missed, you know, a little dabble into
the economy and politics. Most importantly, I could have missed
(33:59):
And then you shudder a little bit right at the
thought of it. I could have missed this very informative
and potentially life changing discussion on remote viewing. But I didn't.
I didn't. I tuned into the podcast. I did what
I knew I should do. My gut was telling me,
get on that podcast. There's going to be important information.
And we provided it, buddy. We provided it. We know
(34:19):
where the arc is, we know how to get it,
but more importantly, we know how it was found and
how that could apply to our lives. Barking the Super Bowl,
not having to go to the Berry Manilow concert, and
I got all of that in in one episode of
this podcast, and we will do it again next week
(34:39):
right here on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
This has been IP frequently, once again, clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
You're welcome.
