Ep. 281 - Rocket Women
David and Brad dissect Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spectacle featuring an all-female crew of “astronauts” in form-fitting space suits and Katie Perry kissing the ground after an 11-minute joyride in an undeniably phallic spacecraft. Then comes the irony of New York Attorney General Letitia James—who pursued Trump on property valuation charges—now facing similar accusations of falsifying loan applications and listing her father as her husband. The episode wraps with the cautionary tale of Minot, North Dakota's mayor, whose personal 'rocket launch' video accidentally landed in his city attorney's inbox—proving once again that incompetence knows no political boundary. All this plus squirrel beheadings, Disney cruises, and George Michael appreciation.

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 say please, please, please don't.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
By George Michael right there, he is really in his
saladays nineteen eighty seven Faith. I'll tell you what I am.
I think you once called me a man's man, but
I'll tell you that that cover of the Faith album
just just you know, if I were ever going to
(01:10):
not be a man's man, George Michael looked great in
that pair of denims, better than the Boss in the
nineteen eighty four of Them.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I don't remember the cover of that album. Good song,
good song, it's a good song, Yeah for sure. Yeah.
I remember driving around.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I had a yeah, a friend, Hank Anthony, but he'd
had this car, this really cool car. It was like
a Chevy, but it was all some souped up Chevy
and he'd pick you up and you just drive around
like the North Side of Providence.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It said, be your day.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You can get in this car and it's all you
do is drive or drive the street, drive by people's houses,
drive and he'd play this song over and over and
over again, and then that was that in excess the
song was I was stand and you were there, remember
that song too, ne a terra.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's a pot.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And then the next time you'd be in the car
for that, I'd be like, you get out of the
car and you'd be like, you just want to kiss
the ground like the like, Kay, Perry, what is.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Up with that? Now?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Let me ask you this, what do you think about that?
I mean, is that just a whole pile of like
cow dung or malarkey.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That Blue Origins flight with the gals on it. Yeah,
it's freaking nonsense. I mean, listen, it's just fine, right.
I mean, Jeff Bezos a billionaire, he's spending his money
and you're allowed to do that. Okay, So let's establish
that out of the gate. Like I don't want to
come across as one of these you know, moralistic, you know,
(02:49):
you're you're a bad per. It's his money, and if
that's the way he wants to spend it, you're allowed
to do that. And we are allowed as the public
to have an opinion on it, right say, it's incredible waste,
but for anyone, So that's fine. So if Jeff Bezos
want and I saw a funny thing where someone said,
Jeff Bezos just spent fifty million bucks to get a
ninety minute break from his wife, which is hilarious. But
(03:11):
if you want to take your wife and five other
women and spend your money to shoot them on an
eleven minute journey, which is you know, a very small
portion of which is going to be in quote unquote space,
and you want to do that, you're you're allowed to
do that. Okay, but it is ridiculous. And anyone who
(03:33):
takes the position that those women are astronauts because they
got shot in a ballistic arc, spending a few brief
moments outside of you know, the grip of the majority
of Earth's gravitational field, they are the furthest thing from astronauts. Okay,
(03:54):
this is not an exploration of space, This is not
a science mission. We are not pushing the envelope. And
I saw a really interesting article written by somebody in
It was either the Wall Street Journal or the New
York Times, both of which is interesting. New York Times
obviously very left leaning, Wall Street Journal perhaps less so.
(04:15):
But you know, not, you know, bastions of conservativism who
just said, look, this is the death of American feminism, right,
I mean the fact that these gals, you know, with
hair perfectly quaffed, full face of makeup, in curve hugging
theembot designer outfits, put themselves in what is indisputably a
(04:41):
phallic spacecraft, aircraft and allow themselves to be launched into space.
And then after eleven minutes, Dude, you can't drink a
cup of coffee in eleven minutes, Okay, eleven minutes is
no time at all. I can't. And after eleven minutes,
Katy Perry gets out of this thing and kisses the ground,
you know, like she's been gone from Earth for years,
(05:05):
and you know, it's just reveling in the feeling of
you know, her home planet underfeet. And to characterize that
in any way as though it is moving any aspect
of humanity forward is a giant joke. It does not inspire.
(05:26):
I mean, I have four daughters. I asked all of them,
I'm like, reinspired by this, and they all gave me
exactly this response. They just looked at me like I
was insane inspired, Like this is a joke. This is
it's a caricature, right, I mean, they're literally in sexy
suits with makeup and hair done. It's not inspiring. It's
(05:51):
a joke. It's a caricature. It's a farce. And the
ironic thing is is that if you actually told me
a NASA or you know, the Russian Space Agency or
the Chinese we're sending an actual space mission up to
the International Space Station or to the Moon or anywhere,
(06:12):
and it happened to be all women, I would be
intrigued by the fact that they had made that choice,
but I would have shrugged at the fact that it
was all women, right, I mean, there have been women
astronauts for a long time. I mean the truth of
the matter is exactly, we're past the point. And you
can argue whether this is good or bad, or meaningful
(06:33):
and not meaningful, it doesn't matter. But we are past
the point in our modern culture where we're shocked when
a woman does nearly anything right, when you know, when
there's a woman astronaut, when there's a woman you know,
we've had a woman run for vice president, we had
a woman won for president, Hillary Clinton, damn near won
the presidency, Kamala Harris damn near won the presidency, or
(06:55):
she was a vice presient for president. She was the
vice president. And so I mean it's we're past the
point where anyone is really thrilled that women are quote
unquote accomplishing something right. And this was the furthest thing
from that. And that rocket ship is shaped like a dick.
I don't care who you are, Well, what did they?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I mean, like it is, first of all, anytime you
do something like this and you need like glim squads
to go up, it's just insane.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I mean, remember the crazy woman.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Remember the two people that were stuck in space because
Biden left them up there and then Trump rescued them.
And there was that woman, the Indian woman who was
up there and the Trump called her the woman with
the crazy hair. But she was up in space and
she looked like, you know, she'd been up in space
for a while. She was actually doing stuff right. Yes,
for months conducting experiments and yes, various other sundering an astronaut. Yeah,
(07:51):
but these fools get like form fitted blue outfits with
their names on them, like that matters, and go up.
I don't even know barely, just come right back down
to the Texas desert and bezos. You see him to
a face plant when he was running to the the capsule.
He fell to the ground. And then he opens the
thing like a cork screw. He opens the door like
(08:12):
a corkscrew, and they all get out and they start
kissing the Katy Perry's is the worst. I mean, I
told you she took that house from our friends in Dallas,
the house in Montecito.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I told you that, right, yeah, yeah, and then she
killed those nuns. Remember she killed those nuns. Horrible I
forgot about that horrible, horrible person.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I mean, and and you know, again, you don't want
to wish yell on anyone.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But the only reason most.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
People tuned into that whole thing was to see if
you know, the worst was going to happen.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, and it can happen.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You know why, because they basically went on a Disney ride.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
That's what they did.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They wanted a ride they went on like Space Mountain,
they came back to her.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Did they have to pay for that? Well, somebody did,
I mean Bezos funded well, but do they charge that
he charged those people for the I don't think chard, No, no, no,
I mean it's all publicity stunt right. I mean again,
who sat Jeff Bezos down and said listen, Jeff, I
(09:09):
mean you got more money than God. So here's what
we think you should do. This will be great, this
will somehow advance the ball for you. Because again, Jeff
Bezos is all about Jeff Bezos. Okay, So even if
there was some tenuous position you could take to say
(09:30):
that this is advancing feminism or is going to inspire
young girls or any of this, none of it's is true.
But even if you could, you could sort of make
that tenuous tie. That's not why Bezos did it, right,
Bezos did it because he felt like there was something
in it for Jeff Bezos, and so whoever was able
(09:52):
to sell him on this is the world's greatest salesperson. Like,
if you have a business, here, there's your small business
minute for the day. If you own a business that
has a sales component, you need to convince people to
buy your product, and that it would be mostly a
habit ASHERI for instance, a habit ashery, and you want
(10:13):
people to come in and buy your hats and socks, right,
you need a salesperson for that, and you should find
this person, the person who convinced Jeff Bezos to spend
millions to shoot six glam bots into space quote unquote
and have them returned within eleven minutes. Right, less time
(10:37):
than a quarter of an NBA basketball game, without timeouts,
without timeouts and commercials. Less than a quarter of an
NBA basketball game is the entirety of the trip, right,
and you're going to spend millions on that. Whoever convinced
him to do that is the greatest salesperson there has
(11:00):
ever been. So you should find that person and employ them.
I mean, Bezos is his objective is to convince people.
And you can go on the website because Krista did it.
Krista went on the website because she'd never heard of
this outside of mind. She didn't talk to me about this,
So we had this conversation later she'd know what Blee
Origin was, and of course this is you know, in
the news, and so she's like, what is this and
(11:21):
goes to the website and apparently I didn't go myself,
but my wife is not given to the lying, says,
did you realize you can, like write this second book
tickets on one of these things? We go for eleven minutes,
I guess, And I said, on one of the flying dicks.
And my wife response was why I would not have
(11:43):
put it that way myself? But yes, And I said,
well that's because you're a better person than I am,
and everybody knows it. But yeah, you can. You can
book tickets off one of these things to do what
these people did. Now, whether or not you get the
glambot outfit with your name on it, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And well, you bring your own glam squad like I do.
Like if I if I'm going somewhere, I have my
glam squad with me.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Like if IV are going somewhere, you're going round a
Disney cruise here.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But I am going to Disney Cruise, I'll bring the Glambot.
So we're going on the Disney cruise so we don't
have to fly to the Bahamas for the photo shoot.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Wait what so there's a there's a photo shoot the
b for Bonica. Your children. Okay, okay, so okay, yes,
all right, so this is your kids who modeled it.
They do that. They've done it for years and frankly,
I mean for those of you scoring at home, they're
good at it. They I can see why Beaufort Bonnett
would want their images in their attire on their website,
(12:44):
et cetera. So that I understand, I understand that process.
The photo shoot is in the Bahamas. What are you
hijacking a Disney cruise? I don't imagine the Disney cruise
is going to the place where the maybe it is.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's going right up to the no, it goes to
This was the the we we found a Disney cruise
because the kids have always wanted to go to Disney cruise. Right.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I I don't like I don't like cruising and I
don't like it. I did it once.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I don't want to ever do it again, and apparently
I am doing it again. And uh so, But the
boat goes it's like a four day cruise and you're
out to see at this point, right, you're gonna there
can be bohemian pirates out there. You don't know what
you're going to encounter. Old Nazis in the in the
you know the Nazis. Uh, you don't know. So we're
gonna be out there at sea, right, you know where
(13:31):
scurvy is certainly something that comes into play. And the
first day you go to Nassau and so you get
off the boat in Nassau and you can go do whatever.
The second day it goes to a private resort that
Disney has, Right, it's like a private island where where
they have like a day thing where you go on
(13:52):
the beaches and stuff. But that day it's on the
other side of it's called it's called Governor's Island to
the Bahamas, and the other side of that island there
are private homes where one of.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Which is hosting the photo shoot.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So we've arranged it so we can get a car
from the boat, take the kids to the photo shoot,
and then take them back to the boat.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
What could go wrong? How did you figure this out? So?
How did you figure out the freaking Disney cruise ship
was likewise going to be on Governor's Island at the
same damn time you were supposed to be there. That happened? Stance,
my friend. Here here is how it here's how it happened. Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So I was originally told that the thing, the photo shoot,
was in Nassau, right, because you know, I get the information,
but I only get the information I need to.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Know, or that someone thinks you need.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, So then I looked into it and I found
this Disney cruise which went to Nasau and was going
to be docking in Nasau that day and you get
there at eight in the morning, don't have to leave
till five. So I was like, you know, we'll get
a car, we'll go to the photo shoot, come back
and then we can do whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You can stay on the boat. Who cares? And so yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And then then I get the address and I put
the address in the old Google machine, and then I
realized that the address is not on Nassau but on
another island. And then I google how do you get
to Governor's Island from Nasau? And there's a ferry that
takes two and a half hours, or you can charter
a boat for five grand, so boat to boat crime
(15:15):
and that boat goes right across the bay and it
takes you there and it's like a two and a
half hour ride.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Then they take you back.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And so I'm looking at all this stuff, and I'm
like having a conversation on this end and I said, well,
you know it's going to be two of the kids
are in this photo shoot, so it's going to be
incredibly stressful to be taking a ferry or a boat
for two and a half hours to a photo shoot
and then having to take it back and get on
(15:44):
the boat at five o'clock when it takes off. Right,
I'm just like, this is like incredibly like on a
stress level of one to ten, this is a twelve, right,
because you can do your kids on the boat, to
your kids with you. You're going to be just going
across this water, probably covered, and I mean just just terrible, terrible,
and the ferry it's two and a half hours certain times,
and this and then you have to get to the
(16:05):
ferry and you have to get to the It's just
it just you know. So we were just like, this
can't we can't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
We cannot do it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then uh lo and behold, we had our erstwhile
assistant call and mentioned Governor's Island. And then because we
were going to the Disney cruise was in that of
the day before, and then the person in the Disney
crew said, oh, but we were on Governor's Island for
the private island the next day, and so we were
able to switch the photo shoot. It's like a one
(16:32):
hour car ride to the to the place from this
plant whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And so there it is. That's how we found out.
We love.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
We stumbled into it and you know, so it's like
it's like you know, you heard you've heard of the
best of both worlds, right, yeah, this is the worst
of both world the worst of all. But so that's
what we got planned. And we start the drive on Monday,
go down there and uh, you know, got a bunch
of good bunch of good stuff, good stuff planned. So
(17:00):
what else is going on? So have you seen this
Lalita James thing?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Is that something? Is that terrible? Or what have you
heard about that? I know, I don't know Lolita James
to my knowledge, and I have not heard of it.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So this is just unbelievable. This is this is why
it's a great time to be alive. This is the
woman New York Attorney general who brought the fraud charges
against the Trump organization.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, yes, her name's not Lolita, is it. Who is Lilia?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Maybe that's Lebron James, Tis James, Leticia, Leticia.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Whatever I think, God Almighty, even not perfect Bratt.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
So this woman brought those charges against Trump, and again
I did recall the bidding. She The charge was that
Trump had the Trump organization had overstated the value of
some of its properties in obtaining loans for those properties,
which they paid back with interest on time, never laid,
never defaulted. The banks were happy to do the deal
(17:56):
because they made money. Everyone was thrilled. But she sued
them nonetheless. So yesterday it comes out that the Federal
Housing Agency, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the director sent
a criminal referral Brad to Attorney General Pam Bondi and
(18:18):
Deputy AG Todd Blanche, alleging that James had falsified records
to get home loans in Virginia and in New York.
She had done things including falsifying the value of the properties,
falsifying the fact that she was a going to be
a resident in Virginia when she had to live in
New York because of her position, lying on a on
(18:42):
two applications listing her father as her husband. And so
this just you can't I'm not I'm not one who's
all four going after your political enemies like this. But
I mean, listen, Karma is a bitch and this is hysterical.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
But this is not going after. See this is this
is the opposite of that. Going after is what James did.
She went after And again I don't care whether you
love James and hate Trump doesn't matter. She went after
him on trumped up charges, no pun intended. And that's
what she did. She went after. This is a bed
(19:21):
she made, Okay, this is not This is not someone
concocting a criminal referral. This is a bed that Letitia
James made and now she's going to have to lie
in it and it and it should come as I mean,
the sad part about this is why I completely agree
with you. Karma is an absolute bitch and this is
(19:42):
hilarious and it couldn't have happened to just a nicer gal. Right,
But but you're not surprised no one listening to this
went what unbelievable a public servant in the state of
New York, someone like this, like this woman is out
actually committing the offenses she's accusing others of committing because
(20:03):
she believes herself to be above the law, And how
dare anyone investigate her activity while she is literally making
stuff up in an effort to ruin someone's someone else's
life because that person has a different political view than
they do. No One listening to this is going unbelievable, right,
Everyone is just nodding their head and going, yeah, that's
(20:27):
how those people, and by those people, I mean people
who use their power and authority against others, that's how
they are. This is this are the same good and
even from the same state. The same group of people
kicked in the door of a private citizen's house to
take his squirrel. Okay, I mean these are and that's
(20:48):
not a euphemism, I'm not. They literally took a live squirrel.
That's not you know, you know, whatever you might think
that would mean doesn't mean that. It means they took
a live woodland creature out of this private citizen's house
and then decapitated. It's insane, buddy. I read something about
that just and I realized that we're moving off the topic.
(21:10):
But somebody sent me might even been you. It was me, Yeah, right, okay,
so send me the send me a story. So I
read it. I read the story because I was like,
how in the world. So the squirrel is clearly not rabbit, right,
I mean, just just looking at it was a friendly squirrel.
The squirrel is it can be many things, it is
(21:32):
not rabbit. So I'm like, well, why did they literally
just make this up so they could cut the squirrel's
head off? I mean, what a bunch of bastards. So
I read the story and the reason they did it
is because supposedly one of these people who kicked in
the door of this private citizen's house in attempting to
pursue this squirrel got bit by the squirrel. And so
(21:54):
the rules are for these animal control folks, if they
get bit by an animal, then that animill must be
tested for rabies, because you know, you need to know
if the human being might be contracting it. Oh forgot,
and I guess the only real methodology for doing that.
And I find this hard to believe. But this is
what said is you got to be head the amm Okay.
(22:14):
So I'm like, okay again, this is this is a
situation that has been created by the State of New York.
They should never have been in this private citizen's house
going after the squirrel. But but the gal reaches for
the squirrel gets bit by the squirrel. They got tested
the squirrel. So I'm like, okay, Well, then the next
paragraph it says she was wearing heavy leather gloves over night,
(22:36):
trial like examination gloves, like a nurse would wear if
she's drawn blood or something. Right, So this James, No, no, no,
the gal that got bit by the squirrel, maybe Leticia, James,
I don't know that she wasn't. But the gal they
got bit by the squirrel is wearing nitrial gloves and
over those gloves, heavy leather gloves. And so I'm thinking
as I read this, I'm thinking, well, this is no
way she squirrel bit through that. The whole reason she's
(22:59):
wearing the gloves is so that she cannot be bit
by one of these animals. Then the next sentence is,
neither the glove, the leather glove, nor the nitrile glove
were actually punctured by the squirrel bite, But somehow it
drew blood without it's a magic trick. Without puncturing the glove,
(23:20):
either set of gloves, it punctured her skin. And therefore
there's a risk of rabies, which why they decapitate the raccoon.
I just dude, the whole thing is so bizarre and
so nonsensical, and so it is exactly and again, you
can hate Trump all you want. This is exactly what
(23:44):
he called it. This is the definition of government overreach.
This is what happens when the government says, hey, you
know what, we don't care about your rights, we don't
care about the law, we don't care about ethics or
morality at all. We want to do this. We have
the power to do it, and so we're going to
do it. And that's exactly what this is. And not surprisingly,
(24:08):
it happened in the state of New York from which
we are all gifted as the US citizenry, with Letitia
James and her incredibly hypocritical, arrogant approach to Donald Trump
while at the same time committing exactly the crime crime herself.
It's just un well, I was gonna say, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It's not They released the they released the applications, I mean,
and the information, and it's all that.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Listen, five years ago, would this even be something on
a radar screen. No, you'd say this is absurd, it's absurd.
But now it's like, I mean, just like you know, no,
one's above the law. That's what she always said. It's
a crime, black letter law, it's a crime. And so
good luck with that. I mean, it's just it's unfreaking
believable that the same people because because again these people
(25:00):
are deranged and they're lunatics, and they the same people
that were all about well, it's about the law now
are saying this is weaponization of the justice system. When
we went through four years of that, right, and they're
using that same thing to weaponize against all these progressive
leaders in Europe now too.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
So they can't run.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I mean, the whole thing with Trump was to try
to get him not to run, and obviously that didn't
work out too well for him.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
But this is the same thing. So good for him,
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Good.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh, I'll tell you what, buddy. The unfortunate part is
there's a significant chunk, you know, nearly fifty percent of
the US populace who is going to believe that the
criminal system, the justice system has been weaponized against the
tiss James because of politics and completely discount and we
said this this is on we put it on tape
(25:53):
that you better stand by if you're a Democrat, because
you have created a system, and you know, we even
come up with a word for now, lawfair. Right, they
created lawfair. They created it, and they were giddy about it,
and they were all excited that they had discovered this
(26:13):
great idea of using the legal system against your political opponents. Right.
I mean, you do not have to go back very
far to find giddy left leaning folk, mostly politicians, who
were just you know, instructing us, right, lecturing us about
(26:35):
how no one is above the law. This is not
a misuse of the legal system, you know, Donald Trump
at all. These people are criminals and they should be prosecuted,
and this is an appropriate use of the legal system.
They're just lecturing us regular people about that. And now
that the shoe is classically placed on the other foot,
(26:59):
suddenly this is all wrong. This is this is not
this is not what should be happening. This is this
is not the thing. Set aside the fact that there's
clear evidence that Letitia James actually did this, let's just say,
for the sake of the argument that this is a
weaponization of the justice system against Letitia James because of
her politics, Let's just accept that for purposes of the discussion,
(27:21):
you created it. Leticia James, you made this thing come
into existence. You are an integral part of creating the
use of the legal system against your political opponents. Whether
they committed the grime or not, that wasn't of interest
to you. What was of interest to you was that
you could use the legal system against your political opponents.
(27:42):
So you did. And so even if you happen to
be innocent of the malfeasances of which you are being accused,
it doesn't matter. You're just wearing what you created. And
it just makes it better for my for my personal
opinion that you actually did do these things, that you
actually are a douchebag who thinks that they are above
(28:04):
the law. And now potentially those chickens are going to
come home to roost. I mean, we'll see if this
actually gets carried through, but it certainly should, and it
should on two counts. It should because it appears you
have violated the law, and so therefore that should be
investigated the law and prosecuted. But it doesn't matter if
you did, because you created a system where the where
(28:25):
the justice system could be used against political opponents, and
now you're just part of that same system. This is
the very system you created. So for two reasons, you
should shut up, just go away, Just go away.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, and so then then Brad, finally we can wrap
up with the feel good story of the week because
you know, obviously we're gonna be We're gonna be away.
Next week we'll be doing a best of episode. As
you travel the Greek Isles so to speak, so to speak,
But I don't know if you've do you follow North
(29:01):
Dakota city, town and hamlet politics by any chance?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
North Dakota, I I do not do not.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I think what that that's where that crazy Christy Nome
is from, right, had a DHS who killed the dog?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Or is that so it's one of the Dakotas she's
She's from a Dakota for sure, but I could not
tell you whether it was north or south. It's either
north or south though, yes, yeah, there's not an east
or west of my knowledge so yet yet. Yeah. Yeah,
so anyway, the mayor of me not I have there's
(29:38):
an air Force base there min not North Dakota, So
why not? Why not? Why not? Mine? I can tell
you reason the reason. Let me let me let me
tell you why not? So miy not?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I thank you for that. Tom Ross is well was
the mayor sixty sixty year old man he uh recently
and he ruled, I mean it was very.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
It was a very nice term.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He didn't have much controversy, but he did resign from
office recently after a short investigation, saying that I quote
do take responsibility for this mistake. I tried to immediately
correct it and was when I was unable to The
(30:25):
decision I made falls in line with all of my
work on behalf of the city of mine.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Not why not? Why not? Brad? I put my heart
and soul.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Into this community and I'll take everything away as good.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Okay, Well, why did he make that statement?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well, apparently, Brad he as part of his duty, he
had to meet with duties as the mayor of mine
not the mayor of mine not. He had to meet
with city attorneys on various issues, and at one point
he met with uh Stephanie Stalheim who you may know
(31:02):
her city attorney Nope, about a police officer's suicide. And
then after that she received an email from the mayor
with an attached video Brad and it was apparently the
mayor playing with his Blue Origin spacecraft playing with his
(31:25):
Blue Origin spacecraft. And then from the story. The mayor
tried to quote put the jack back in the box,
explaining to the female who he sent the video, by
the way, the attorney attorney, that he recorded the sexy
video for his girlfriend on his lunch break, and he
asked her to just to lead the spunt and keep
(31:45):
the entire incident between the two of them. Of course
she didn't do that, and she blew the proverbial whistle, Brad,
and then at that point it was all over for
the Mayor of miy not.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Not what the mayor was hoping she would blow.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
That is a sexy video, though that's not quite George
Michael and the Jeans.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
But you know, this guy is a So the mayor
has a meeting with a female attorney cease fit to
return to his office during duty hours, I mean presumably,
and presumably you know, get his Blue Origin spacecraft to
launch records all this, because that's then the natural obvious
(32:24):
thing to do, and then sends it to the attorney,
presumably because he was under what is now known to
be the false impression that she would be impressed by that. Well,
I want to join him, and he said it was
a mistake. So my guess is she knows it's not
(32:45):
right because I don't know what the relationship was between them.
Maybe they hate each other, but I would like to
think that had it if they had a good relationship,
a good working relationship, and this guy was a decent mayor,
and who knows if he was or wasn't, And the
truth of the matter is that he's engaged in what
is clearly, you know, devan behavior no matter how you
(33:07):
slice it. But that the truth was that he did
do that for his girlfriend and had intended to send
it to her, but somehow got confused and sent to
the attorney.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
He now, he said on that in that vein Brad
he said that the girlfriend's name begins with a letter C,
and he had this woman, this woman in his email
saved as city attorney.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
So yeah, well, let's just say that's true, all right,
and then that the city attorney, if they were on
good terms, would have perhaps looked the other way. My
guess is that in that email that the mayor sent
there was some clear indication that he intended it for
the city attorney. Because we do, dude, we're both guys,
and so we have to sort of accept the fact
(33:51):
that guys have just a nearly limitless capacity to convince
themselves that they're what every woman wants, right, I mean that? Yeah,
and uh, and so I'm sure he left that meeting
with the obviously at this point very mistaken impression that
(34:16):
she would be into this, that that what she was
hoping for when she returned to her office during duty hours,
that he would send her a sexy video. And the
mayor was clearly mistaken about that.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah, So the mayor is no more. There is no
mayor of mine, not and so we'll see what happened.
We'll follow that, Brad, because there may be a special lunch.
Maybe not, I don't know, but there it is.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
There.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
It is another another one of the books.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Yeah, well, but we've done it. We've we've gone from
just incredibly arrogant political figures to penis shaped spacecraft full
of fembots that may or may not have gone into space,
depending on your particular position on the hairgate. When I'm
going to call hairgate the fact that the vembot's hair
didn float around of space, Katie Perry kissing the Earth
(35:05):
that she had been gotten from for less than a
quarter of an NBA basketball game, to the mayor of mine,
not you know, somewhat ironically enjoying his own bloorge and
you know, sort of adventure and having it turn out
in his removal from office and potential criminal prosecution. Who
knows in that I don't care who you are. Is
(35:27):
a good job. And while I would normally tell you
that we would be back to do it again next week,
we won't. Will instead allow you the opportunity to indulge
yourself in some best of this very fine program. But
we will be back in two weeks. Unless David is
trapped on Governor's Island and there is a non zero
probability that he will be less he is will be
(35:49):
back in two weeks, right here on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
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 Sheef say please, please, please don't.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
By George Michael right there, he is really in his
saladays nineteen eighty seven Faith. I'll tell you what I am.
I think you once called me a man's man, but
I'll tell you that that cover of the Faith album
just just you know, if I were ever going to
(01:10):
not be a man's man, George Michael looked great in
that pair of denims, better than the Boss in the
nineteen eighty four of Them.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I don't remember the cover of that album. Good song,
good song, it's a good song, Yeah for sure. Yeah.
I remember driving around.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I had a yeah, a friend, Hank Anthony, but he'd
had this car, this really cool car. It was like
a Chevy, but it was all some souped up Chevy
and he'd pick you up and you just drive around
like the North Side of Providence.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It said, be your day.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You can get in this car and it's all you
do is drive or drive the street, drive by people's houses,
drive and he'd play this song over and over and
over again, and then that was that in excess the
song was I was stand and you were there, remember
that song too, ne a terra.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's a pot.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And then the next time you'd be in the car
for that, I'd be like, you get out of the
car and you'd be like, you just want to kiss
the ground like the like, Kay, Perry, what is.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Up with that? Now?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Let me ask you this, what do you think about that?
I mean, is that just a whole pile of like
cow dung or malarkey.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That Blue Origins flight with the gals on it. Yeah,
it's freaking nonsense. I mean, listen, it's just fine, right.
I mean, Jeff Bezos a billionaire, he's spending his money
and you're allowed to do that. Okay, So let's establish
that out of the gate. Like I don't want to
come across as one of these you know, moralistic, you know,
(02:49):
you're you're a bad per. It's his money, and if
that's the way he wants to spend it, you're allowed
to do that. And we are allowed as the public
to have an opinion on it, right say, it's incredible waste,
but for anyone, So that's fine. So if Jeff Bezos
want and I saw a funny thing where someone said,
Jeff Bezos just spent fifty million bucks to get a
ninety minute break from his wife, which is hilarious. But
(03:11):
if you want to take your wife and five other
women and spend your money to shoot them on an
eleven minute journey, which is you know, a very small
portion of which is going to be in quote unquote space,
and you want to do that, you're you're allowed to
do that. Okay, but it is ridiculous. And anyone who
(03:33):
takes the position that those women are astronauts because they
got shot in a ballistic arc, spending a few brief
moments outside of you know, the grip of the majority
of Earth's gravitational field, they are the furthest thing from astronauts. Okay,
(03:54):
this is not an exploration of space, This is not
a science mission. We are not pushing the envelope. And
I saw a really interesting article written by somebody in
It was either the Wall Street Journal or the New
York Times, both of which is interesting. New York Times
obviously very left leaning, Wall Street Journal perhaps less so.
(04:15):
But you know, not, you know, bastions of conservativism who
just said, look, this is the death of American feminism, right,
I mean the fact that these gals, you know, with
hair perfectly quaffed, full face of makeup, in curve hugging
theembot designer outfits, put themselves in what is indisputably a
(04:41):
phallic spacecraft, aircraft and allow themselves to be launched into space.
And then after eleven minutes, Dude, you can't drink a
cup of coffee in eleven minutes, Okay, eleven minutes is
no time at all. I can't. And after eleven minutes,
Katy Perry gets out of this thing and kisses the ground,
you know, like she's been gone from Earth for years,
(05:05):
and you know, it's just reveling in the feeling of
you know, her home planet underfeet. And to characterize that
in any way as though it is moving any aspect
of humanity forward is a giant joke. It does not inspire.
(05:26):
I mean, I have four daughters. I asked all of them,
I'm like, reinspired by this, and they all gave me
exactly this response. They just looked at me like I
was insane inspired, Like this is a joke. This is
it's a caricature, right, I mean, they're literally in sexy
suits with makeup and hair done. It's not inspiring. It's
(05:51):
a joke. It's a caricature. It's a farce. And the
ironic thing is is that if you actually told me
a NASA or you know, the Russian Space Agency or
the Chinese we're sending an actual space mission up to
the International Space Station or to the Moon or anywhere,
(06:12):
and it happened to be all women, I would be
intrigued by the fact that they had made that choice,
but I would have shrugged at the fact that it
was all women, right, I mean, there have been women
astronauts for a long time. I mean the truth of
the matter is exactly, we're past the point. And you
can argue whether this is good or bad, or meaningful
(06:33):
and not meaningful, it doesn't matter. But we are past
the point in our modern culture where we're shocked when
a woman does nearly anything right, when you know, when
there's a woman astronaut, when there's a woman you know,
we've had a woman run for vice president, we had
a woman won for president, Hillary Clinton, damn near won
the presidency, Kamala Harris damn near won the presidency, or
(06:55):
she was a vice presient for president. She was the
vice president. And so I mean it's we're past the
point where anyone is really thrilled that women are quote
unquote accomplishing something right. And this was the furthest thing
from that. And that rocket ship is shaped like a dick.
I don't care who you are, Well, what did they?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I mean, like it is, first of all, anytime you
do something like this and you need like glim squads
to go up, it's just insane.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I mean, remember the crazy woman.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Remember the two people that were stuck in space because
Biden left them up there and then Trump rescued them.
And there was that woman, the Indian woman who was
up there and the Trump called her the woman with
the crazy hair. But she was up in space and
she looked like, you know, she'd been up in space
for a while. She was actually doing stuff right. Yes,
for months conducting experiments and yes, various other sundering an astronaut. Yeah,
(07:51):
but these fools get like form fitted blue outfits with
their names on them, like that matters, and go up.
I don't even know barely, just come right back down
to the Texas desert and bezos. You see him to
a face plant when he was running to the the capsule.
He fell to the ground. And then he opens the
thing like a cork screw. He opens the door like
(08:12):
a corkscrew, and they all get out and they start
kissing the Katy Perry's is the worst. I mean, I
told you she took that house from our friends in Dallas,
the house in Montecito.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I told you that, right, yeah, yeah, and then she
killed those nuns. Remember she killed those nuns. Horrible I
forgot about that horrible, horrible person.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I mean, and and you know, again, you don't want
to wish yell on anyone.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But the only reason most.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
People tuned into that whole thing was to see if
you know, the worst was going to happen.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, and it can happen.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You know why, because they basically went on a Disney ride.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
That's what they did.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They wanted a ride they went on like Space Mountain,
they came back to her.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Did they have to pay for that? Well, somebody did,
I mean Bezos funded well, but do they charge that
he charged those people for the I don't think chard, No, no, no,
I mean it's all publicity stunt right. I mean again,
who sat Jeff Bezos down and said listen, Jeff, I
(09:09):
mean you got more money than God. So here's what
we think you should do. This will be great, this
will somehow advance the ball for you. Because again, Jeff
Bezos is all about Jeff Bezos. Okay, So even if
there was some tenuous position you could take to say
(09:30):
that this is advancing feminism or is going to inspire
young girls or any of this, none of it's is true.
But even if you could, you could sort of make
that tenuous tie. That's not why Bezos did it, right,
Bezos did it because he felt like there was something
in it for Jeff Bezos, and so whoever was able
(09:52):
to sell him on this is the world's greatest salesperson. Like,
if you have a business, here, there's your small business
minute for the day. If you own a business that
has a sales component, you need to convince people to
buy your product, and that it would be mostly a
habit ASHERI for instance, a habit ashery, and you want
(10:13):
people to come in and buy your hats and socks, right,
you need a salesperson for that, and you should find
this person, the person who convinced Jeff Bezos to spend
millions to shoot six glam bots into space quote unquote
and have them returned within eleven minutes. Right, less time
(10:37):
than a quarter of an NBA basketball game, without timeouts,
without timeouts and commercials. Less than a quarter of an
NBA basketball game is the entirety of the trip, right,
and you're going to spend millions on that. Whoever convinced
him to do that is the greatest salesperson there has
(11:00):
ever been. So you should find that person and employ them.
I mean, Bezos is his objective is to convince people.
And you can go on the website because Krista did it.
Krista went on the website because she'd never heard of
this outside of mind. She didn't talk to me about this,
So we had this conversation later she'd know what Blee
Origin was, and of course this is you know, in
the news, and so she's like, what is this and
(11:21):
goes to the website and apparently I didn't go myself,
but my wife is not given to the lying, says,
did you realize you can, like write this second book
tickets on one of these things? We go for eleven minutes,
I guess, And I said, on one of the flying dicks.
And my wife response was why I would not have
(11:43):
put it that way myself? But yes, And I said,
well that's because you're a better person than I am,
and everybody knows it. But yeah, you can. You can
book tickets off one of these things to do what
these people did. Now, whether or not you get the
glambot outfit with your name on it, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And well, you bring your own glam squad like I do.
Like if I if I'm going somewhere, I have my
glam squad with me.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Like if IV are going somewhere, you're going round a
Disney cruise here.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But I am going to Disney Cruise, I'll bring the Glambot.
So we're going on the Disney cruise so we don't
have to fly to the Bahamas for the photo shoot.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Wait what so there's a there's a photo shoot the
b for Bonica. Your children. Okay, okay, so okay, yes,
all right, so this is your kids who modeled it.
They do that. They've done it for years and frankly,
I mean for those of you scoring at home, they're
good at it. They I can see why Beaufort Bonnett
would want their images in their attire on their website,
(12:44):
et cetera. So that I understand, I understand that process.
The photo shoot is in the Bahamas. What are you
hijacking a Disney cruise? I don't imagine the Disney cruise
is going to the place where the maybe it is.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's going right up to the no, it goes to
This was the the we we found a Disney cruise
because the kids have always wanted to go to Disney cruise. Right.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I I don't like I don't like cruising and I
don't like it. I did it once.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I don't want to ever do it again, and apparently
I am doing it again. And uh so, But the
boat goes it's like a four day cruise and you're
out to see at this point, right, you're gonna there
can be bohemian pirates out there. You don't know what
you're going to encounter. Old Nazis in the in the
you know the Nazis. Uh, you don't know. So we're
gonna be out there at sea, right, you know where
(13:31):
scurvy is certainly something that comes into play. And the
first day you go to Nassau and so you get
off the boat in Nassau and you can go do whatever.
The second day it goes to a private resort that
Disney has, Right, it's like a private island where where
they have like a day thing where you go on
(13:52):
the beaches and stuff. But that day it's on the
other side of it's called it's called Governor's Island to
the Bahamas, and the other side of that island there
are private homes where one of.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Which is hosting the photo shoot.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So we've arranged it so we can get a car
from the boat, take the kids to the photo shoot,
and then take them back to the boat.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
What could go wrong? How did you figure this out? So?
How did you figure out the freaking Disney cruise ship
was likewise going to be on Governor's Island at the
same damn time you were supposed to be there. That happened? Stance,
my friend. Here here is how it here's how it happened. Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So I was originally told that the thing, the photo shoot,
was in Nassau, right, because you know, I get the information,
but I only get the information I need to.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Know, or that someone thinks you need.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, So then I looked into it and I found
this Disney cruise which went to Nasau and was going
to be docking in Nasau that day and you get
there at eight in the morning, don't have to leave
till five. So I was like, you know, we'll get
a car, we'll go to the photo shoot, come back
and then we can do whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You can stay on the boat. Who cares? And so yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And then then I get the address and I put
the address in the old Google machine, and then I
realized that the address is not on Nassau but on
another island. And then I google how do you get
to Governor's Island from Nasau? And there's a ferry that
takes two and a half hours, or you can charter
a boat for five grand, so boat to boat crime
(15:15):
and that boat goes right across the bay and it
takes you there and it's like a two and a
half hour ride.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Then they take you back.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And so I'm looking at all this stuff, and I'm
like having a conversation on this end and I said, well,
you know it's going to be two of the kids
are in this photo shoot, so it's going to be
incredibly stressful to be taking a ferry or a boat
for two and a half hours to a photo shoot
and then having to take it back and get on
(15:44):
the boat at five o'clock when it takes off. Right,
I'm just like, this is like incredibly like on a
stress level of one to ten, this is a twelve, right,
because you can do your kids on the boat, to
your kids with you. You're going to be just going
across this water, probably covered, and I mean just just terrible, terrible,
and the ferry it's two and a half hours certain times,
and this and then you have to get to the
(16:05):
ferry and you have to get to the It's just
it just you know. So we were just like, this
can't we can't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
We cannot do it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then uh lo and behold, we had our erstwhile
assistant call and mentioned Governor's Island. And then because we
were going to the Disney cruise was in that of
the day before, and then the person in the Disney
crew said, oh, but we were on Governor's Island for
the private island the next day, and so we were
able to switch the photo shoot. It's like a one
(16:32):
hour car ride to the to the place from this
plant whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And so there it is. That's how we found out.
We love.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
We stumbled into it and you know, so it's like
it's like you know, you heard you've heard of the
best of both worlds, right, yeah, this is the worst
of both world the worst of all. But so that's
what we got planned. And we start the drive on Monday,
go down there and uh, you know, got a bunch
of good bunch of good stuff, good stuff planned. So
(17:00):
what else is going on? So have you seen this
Lalita James thing?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Is that something? Is that terrible? Or what have you
heard about that? I know, I don't know Lolita James
to my knowledge, and I have not heard of it.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So this is just unbelievable. This is this is why
it's a great time to be alive. This is the
woman New York Attorney general who brought the fraud charges
against the Trump organization.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, yes, her name's not Lolita, is it. Who is Lilia?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Maybe that's Lebron James, Tis James, Leticia, Leticia.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Whatever I think, God Almighty, even not perfect Bratt.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
So this woman brought those charges against Trump, and again
I did recall the bidding. She The charge was that
Trump had the Trump organization had overstated the value of
some of its properties in obtaining loans for those properties,
which they paid back with interest on time, never laid,
never defaulted. The banks were happy to do the deal
(17:56):
because they made money. Everyone was thrilled. But she sued
them nonetheless. So yesterday it comes out that the Federal
Housing Agency, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the director sent
a criminal referral Brad to Attorney General Pam Bondi and
(18:18):
Deputy AG Todd Blanche, alleging that James had falsified records
to get home loans in Virginia and in New York.
She had done things including falsifying the value of the properties,
falsifying the fact that she was a going to be
a resident in Virginia when she had to live in
New York because of her position, lying on a on
(18:42):
two applications listing her father as her husband. And so
this just you can't I'm not I'm not one who's
all four going after your political enemies like this. But
I mean, listen, Karma is a bitch and this is hysterical.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
But this is not going after. See this is this
is the opposite of that. Going after is what James did.
She went after And again I don't care whether you
love James and hate Trump doesn't matter. She went after
him on trumped up charges, no pun intended. And that's
what she did. She went after. This is a bed
(19:21):
she made, Okay, this is not This is not someone
concocting a criminal referral. This is a bed that Letitia
James made and now she's going to have to lie
in it and it and it should come as I mean,
the sad part about this is why I completely agree
with you. Karma is an absolute bitch and this is
(19:42):
hilarious and it couldn't have happened to just a nicer gal. Right,
But but you're not surprised no one listening to this
went what unbelievable a public servant in the state of
New York, someone like this, like this woman is out
actually committing the offenses she's accusing others of committing because
(20:03):
she believes herself to be above the law, And how
dare anyone investigate her activity while she is literally making
stuff up in an effort to ruin someone's someone else's
life because that person has a different political view than
they do. No One listening to this is going unbelievable, right,
Everyone is just nodding their head and going, yeah, that's
(20:27):
how those people, and by those people, I mean people
who use their power and authority against others, that's how
they are. This is this are the same good and
even from the same state. The same group of people
kicked in the door of a private citizen's house to
take his squirrel. Okay, I mean these are and that's
(20:48):
not a euphemism, I'm not. They literally took a live squirrel.
That's not you know, you know, whatever you might think
that would mean doesn't mean that. It means they took
a live woodland creature out of this private citizen's house
and then decapitated. It's insane, buddy. I read something about
that just and I realized that we're moving off the topic.
(21:10):
But somebody sent me might even been you. It was me, Yeah, right, okay,
so send me the send me a story. So I
read it. I read the story because I was like,
how in the world. So the squirrel is clearly not rabbit, right,
I mean, just just looking at it was a friendly squirrel.
The squirrel is it can be many things, it is
(21:32):
not rabbit. So I'm like, well, why did they literally
just make this up so they could cut the squirrel's
head off? I mean, what a bunch of bastards. So
I read the story and the reason they did it
is because supposedly one of these people who kicked in
the door of this private citizen's house in attempting to
pursue this squirrel got bit by the squirrel. And so
(21:54):
the rules are for these animal control folks, if they
get bit by an animal, then that animill must be
tested for rabies, because you know, you need to know
if the human being might be contracting it. Oh forgot,
and I guess the only real methodology for doing that.
And I find this hard to believe. But this is
what said is you got to be head the amm Okay.
(22:14):
So I'm like, okay again, this is this is a
situation that has been created by the State of New York.
They should never have been in this private citizen's house
going after the squirrel. But but the gal reaches for
the squirrel gets bit by the squirrel. They got tested
the squirrel. So I'm like, okay, Well, then the next
paragraph it says she was wearing heavy leather gloves over night,
(22:36):
trial like examination gloves, like a nurse would wear if
she's drawn blood or something. Right, So this James, No, no, no,
the gal that got bit by the squirrel, maybe Leticia, James,
I don't know that she wasn't. But the gal they
got bit by the squirrel is wearing nitrial gloves and
over those gloves, heavy leather gloves. And so I'm thinking
as I read this, I'm thinking, well, this is no
way she squirrel bit through that. The whole reason she's
(22:59):
wearing the gloves is so that she cannot be bit
by one of these animals. Then the next sentence is,
neither the glove, the leather glove, nor the nitrile glove
were actually punctured by the squirrel bite, But somehow it
drew blood without it's a magic trick. Without puncturing the glove,
(23:20):
either set of gloves, it punctured her skin. And therefore
there's a risk of rabies, which why they decapitate the raccoon.
I just dude, the whole thing is so bizarre and
so nonsensical, and so it is exactly and again, you
can hate Trump all you want. This is exactly what
(23:44):
he called it. This is the definition of government overreach.
This is what happens when the government says, hey, you
know what, we don't care about your rights, we don't
care about the law, we don't care about ethics or
morality at all. We want to do this. We have
the power to do it, and so we're going to
do it. And that's exactly what this is. And not surprisingly,
(24:08):
it happened in the state of New York from which
we are all gifted as the US citizenry, with Letitia
James and her incredibly hypocritical, arrogant approach to Donald Trump
while at the same time committing exactly the crime crime herself.
It's just un well, I was gonna say, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It's not They released the they released the applications, I mean,
and the information, and it's all that.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Listen, five years ago, would this even be something on
a radar screen. No, you'd say this is absurd, it's absurd.
But now it's like, I mean, just like you know, no,
one's above the law. That's what she always said. It's
a crime, black letter law, it's a crime. And so
good luck with that. I mean, it's just it's unfreaking
believable that the same people because because again these people
(25:00):
are deranged and they're lunatics, and they the same people
that were all about well, it's about the law now
are saying this is weaponization of the justice system. When
we went through four years of that, right, and they're
using that same thing to weaponize against all these progressive
leaders in Europe now too.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
So they can't run.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I mean, the whole thing with Trump was to try
to get him not to run, and obviously that didn't
work out too well for him.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
But this is the same thing. So good for him,
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Good.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh, I'll tell you what, buddy. The unfortunate part is
there's a significant chunk, you know, nearly fifty percent of
the US populace who is going to believe that the
criminal system, the justice system has been weaponized against the
tiss James because of politics and completely discount and we
said this this is on we put it on tape
(25:53):
that you better stand by if you're a Democrat, because
you have created a system, and you know, we even
come up with a word for now, lawfair. Right, they
created lawfair. They created it, and they were giddy about it,
and they were all excited that they had discovered this
(26:13):
great idea of using the legal system against your political opponents. Right.
I mean, you do not have to go back very
far to find giddy left leaning folk, mostly politicians, who
were just you know, instructing us, right, lecturing us about
(26:35):
how no one is above the law. This is not
a misuse of the legal system, you know, Donald Trump
at all. These people are criminals and they should be prosecuted,
and this is an appropriate use of the legal system.
They're just lecturing us regular people about that. And now
that the shoe is classically placed on the other foot,
(26:59):
suddenly this is all wrong. This is this is not
this is not what should be happening. This is this
is not the thing. Set aside the fact that there's
clear evidence that Letitia James actually did this, let's just say,
for the sake of the argument that this is a
weaponization of the justice system against Letitia James because of
her politics, Let's just accept that for purposes of the discussion,
(27:21):
you created it. Leticia James, you made this thing come
into existence. You are an integral part of creating the
use of the legal system against your political opponents. Whether
they committed the grime or not, that wasn't of interest
to you. What was of interest to you was that
you could use the legal system against your political opponents.
(27:42):
So you did. And so even if you happen to
be innocent of the malfeasances of which you are being accused,
it doesn't matter. You're just wearing what you created. And
it just makes it better for my for my personal
opinion that you actually did do these things, that you
actually are a douchebag who thinks that they are above
(28:04):
the law. And now potentially those chickens are going to
come home to roost. I mean, we'll see if this
actually gets carried through, but it certainly should, and it
should on two counts. It should because it appears you
have violated the law, and so therefore that should be
investigated the law and prosecuted. But it doesn't matter if
you did, because you created a system where the where
(28:25):
the justice system could be used against political opponents, and
now you're just part of that same system. This is
the very system you created. So for two reasons, you
should shut up, just go away, Just go away.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, and so then then Brad, finally we can wrap
up with the feel good story of the week because
you know, obviously we're gonna be We're gonna be away.
Next week we'll be doing a best of episode. As
you travel the Greek Isles so to speak, so to speak,
But I don't know if you've do you follow North
(29:01):
Dakota city, town and hamlet politics by any chance?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
North Dakota, I I do not do not.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I think what that that's where that crazy Christy Nome
is from, right, had a DHS who killed the dog?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Or is that so it's one of the Dakotas she's
She's from a Dakota for sure, but I could not
tell you whether it was north or south. It's either
north or south though, yes, yeah, there's not an east
or west of my knowledge so yet yet. Yeah. Yeah,
so anyway, the mayor of me not I have there's
(29:38):
an air Force base there min not North Dakota, So
why not? Why not? Why not? Mine? I can tell
you reason the reason. Let me let me let me
tell you why not? So miy not?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I thank you for that. Tom Ross is well was
the mayor sixty sixty year old man he uh recently
and he ruled, I mean it was very.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
It was a very nice term.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He didn't have much controversy, but he did resign from
office recently after a short investigation, saying that I quote
do take responsibility for this mistake. I tried to immediately
correct it and was when I was unable to The
(30:25):
decision I made falls in line with all of my
work on behalf of the city of mine.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Not why not? Why not? Brad? I put my heart
and soul.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Into this community and I'll take everything away as good.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Okay, Well, why did he make that statement?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well, apparently, Brad he as part of his duty, he
had to meet with duties as the mayor of mine
not the mayor of mine not. He had to meet
with city attorneys on various issues, and at one point
he met with uh Stephanie Stalheim who you may know
(31:02):
her city attorney Nope, about a police officer's suicide. And
then after that she received an email from the mayor
with an attached video Brad and it was apparently the
mayor playing with his Blue Origin spacecraft playing with his
(31:25):
Blue Origin spacecraft. And then from the story. The mayor
tried to quote put the jack back in the box,
explaining to the female who he sent the video, by
the way, the attorney attorney, that he recorded the sexy
video for his girlfriend on his lunch break, and he
asked her to just to lead the spunt and keep
(31:45):
the entire incident between the two of them. Of course
she didn't do that, and she blew the proverbial whistle, Brad,
and then at that point it was all over for
the Mayor of miy not.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Not what the mayor was hoping she would blow.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
That is a sexy video, though that's not quite George
Michael and the Jeans.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
But you know, this guy is a So the mayor
has a meeting with a female attorney cease fit to
return to his office during duty hours, I mean presumably,
and presumably you know, get his Blue Origin spacecraft to
launch records all this, because that's then the natural obvious
(32:24):
thing to do, and then sends it to the attorney,
presumably because he was under what is now known to
be the false impression that she would be impressed by that. Well,
I want to join him, and he said it was
a mistake. So my guess is she knows it's not
(32:45):
right because I don't know what the relationship was between them.
Maybe they hate each other, but I would like to
think that had it if they had a good relationship,
a good working relationship, and this guy was a decent mayor,
and who knows if he was or wasn't, And the
truth of the matter is that he's engaged in what
is clearly, you know, devan behavior no matter how you
(33:07):
slice it. But that the truth was that he did
do that for his girlfriend and had intended to send
it to her, but somehow got confused and sent to
the attorney.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
He now, he said on that in that vein Brad
he said that the girlfriend's name begins with a letter C,
and he had this woman, this woman in his email
saved as city attorney.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
So yeah, well, let's just say that's true, all right,
and then that the city attorney, if they were on
good terms, would have perhaps looked the other way. My
guess is that in that email that the mayor sent
there was some clear indication that he intended it for
the city attorney. Because we do, dude, we're both guys,
and so we have to sort of accept the fact
(33:51):
that guys have just a nearly limitless capacity to convince
themselves that they're what every woman wants, right, I mean that? Yeah,
and uh, and so I'm sure he left that meeting
with the obviously at this point very mistaken impression that
(34:16):
she would be into this, that that what she was
hoping for when she returned to her office during duty hours,
that he would send her a sexy video. And the
mayor was clearly mistaken about that.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah, So the mayor is no more. There is no
mayor of mine, not and so we'll see what happened.
We'll follow that, Brad, because there may be a special lunch.
Maybe not, I don't know, but there it is.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
There.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
It is another another one of the books.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Yeah, well, but we've done it. We've we've gone from
just incredibly arrogant political figures to penis shaped spacecraft full
of fembots that may or may not have gone into space,
depending on your particular position on the hairgate. When I'm
going to call hairgate the fact that the vembot's hair
didn float around of space, Katie Perry kissing the Earth
(35:05):
that she had been gotten from for less than a
quarter of an NBA basketball game, to the mayor of mine,
not you know, somewhat ironically enjoying his own bloorge and
you know, sort of adventure and having it turn out
in his removal from office and potential criminal prosecution. Who
knows in that I don't care who you are. Is
(35:27):
a good job. And while I would normally tell you
that we would be back to do it again next week,
we won't. Will instead allow you the opportunity to indulge
yourself in some best of this very fine program. But
we will be back in two weeks. Unless David is
trapped on Governor's Island and there is a non zero
probability that he will be less he is will be
(35:49):
back in two weeks, right here on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
You're welcome.
