Ep. 285 - Better Late Than Never (But Still Pretty Late)
David and Brad serve up an episode that bounces from SNL's golden era to the ultimate media betrayal - Jake Tapper's shocking tell-all book "Original Sin" - where CNN's poster boy finally admits what everyone already knew about Biden's cognitive decline. The irony is delicious: Tapper stayed silent during an entire presidency when it mattered, only to cash in with a bestseller after the damage was done. Meanwhile, TikTok teens are literally breaking through fences for the Kool-Aid Challenge, proving that sometimes the most obvious metaphors write themselves. From parliamentary debate tactics to journalistic ethics, this episode explores what happens when gatekeepers abandon their posts.

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's sheaf, we.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Dia and God for all they have provided, for the
food we eat, year we breede, and for denamination enjoyed
by a certain team from a certain town.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Hey, hey, the game stay all right, all right, we'll
get back to commercially. Well, there it is, Brad George
went the Bears, one of the greatest teams of all time,
the eighty five eighty six Bears, run by Mike Ditka
Buddy Ryan. On the defense, hallis Papa Bear Hallis He
was dead by then, but Papa Bear hallis. Papa Bear
hallis really really good team. But even more importantly, one
(01:25):
of the great iconic characters of all time supporting the
Chicago Bears.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, I mean that was back when Saturn I Live
was funny and they knew how to do funny. And
George Went was great in that role as one of
the Chicago super fans. So gone too soon. We'll definitely
miss him. I believe he also played. He did the
occasional cameo and cheers. You would see him every now
and again. So buddy, nothing says Memorial Day like good humor,
(01:52):
good football and you.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Know, rest in peace.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It was at Bob schwere Bob something where and he
had a Yeah, I think I know his first name
was Bob. I can't remember the last name. But those
guys were all sitting around in their Bears gear eating
a pole of sausage.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Just yep, Yeah, Hurricane did, guy.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Hurricane did. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's a shame. It is a uh, it's a shame.
My favorite norm I used to love that show. Probably
my favorite show of all time. That or Seinfeld one
one two two one one two. But there was an
episode remember Gary's Old Town Tavern. On that show, they
had the rivalry bar I Do And at one point
they're having these prank wars like they'd always have an
(02:38):
episode every season where they had prank wars back and
forth with Gary's Old time tavern, and the whole Norm
stick was he would walk into cheers and everyone would
go Norm, and he'd have a seat and his rapport
with the bartender and he'd just.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Sit there all day. And so.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
They go into Gary's old town tavern to confront them
on some prank that they pulled, and he walks into
everyone cheers Norm and they pour a beer for him,
They say, Norm, and they put a beer form at
the corner of the bar. And Ted Danson played Sam Malone,
the former Red Sox pitcher who was an alcoholic, looks
at Cliff Claven, the mailman, and he's like, what what
(03:12):
is going on?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
What? What? What would how could this possibly be?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Like he's always in our bars, sitting there drinking what
And Claven gets all indignant with him, and he goes,
he's got a life, you know. And it was just
one of the funniest lines dead band, but one of
the funniest lines in all of TV history.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Indeed.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, that was a good show. That was a good show.
And then it spun off.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Frasier.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Frasier, Yeah, the psychologist who was married to the horrible
Gal Lilith.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
He's been married to a bunch of He was on
one of the housewives shows.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
And they're they're married. He was married to.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Him, you know, the Housewives, the the Real House, the
Dallas whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
His wife, who's the actor.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'm terrible with that there, Oh Kelsey Grammar.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
So you're saying Kelsey Grammer's wife was.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
On his Exodi is now in the review Berg like
two or three one of his ex wives. He was
on the show a little bit and then his wife
left him and then it's my wife watches all that.
You know they're doing a Housewives of Hode Island.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Did you know that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Come on, I swear to swear to guy. They announced it.
It's it's it's.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Why, I mean, what makes Rhode is Why not? Do
you know Housewives of Montana? I mean why what makes
Rhode Island more suitable?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
If it's done in an appropriate way, it can be
the greatest bit of television in history, because you know,
if you capture the right amount of that. Let me
tell you something, it may be like the train wreck
that you can't look away from.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
But you cannot look away. You cannot look away.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So the governor, you know, when that comes out because
I have never seen a single episode of Housewives of
this or that television show.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's not my jam, but I.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Having spent some quality time in Rhode Island, I may
be tempted to watch that.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That I told like, my wife has friends who have
been on the show in New York and in Dallas,
in California. And I've said, no uncertain terms that you
could get just people. She and I know you could
get them together and put them on the show and
just run the film and you literally you will have
TV gold, TV freaking gold.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
First, this is David Pridham and Brad Sheaf here on
the Pridam and Chief Comedy Hour. We want to welcome
you to another episode. We are here on the iHeartRadio
podcast radio network, and you can also get us wherever
you get your podcast podcasts right now or the number
one vehicle where people consume information, and so wherever you
(05:52):
get that information, type in Pritaim and Chief Comedy Hour
or IP frequently or the Printaiman Chief Show or the
Daily Variety Show, and we'll pop up inevitably with some
sort of avatar. Click subscribe, click like, comment in a
good way, not a bad way, and and and just
follow along. And then if you could go and force
(06:14):
your relatives to do the same, take their device, take it,
take it out of their hand, make them use the
facial recognition thing, and then go in there and manipulate
that thing so that it's subscribing and it's liking and
it's commenting in a good way.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
And then just do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Break the device, we don't care at that point, throw
it to a thresher wood chipper. Perhaps I told you
the story about Tommy to Pippo, thinking about yes, yeah, anyway,
Brad we started, he didn't do it, all right, and
I well, I mean, just we want to go on
the record.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
I don't know what the truth is. We want to
go on the.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Record here as saying he did not do that in
the interest of Tommy to Pippo. And I like the fact, buddy,
you do this every week. But I just want to
point out that I like the fact that you are
honest enough to encourage people to comment positively.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I mean, sometimes you get this, get these emails. Invariably
you buy anything anymore, you're going to get some email
from that company saying, hey, we want you to rate
our product, and they take the position, yeah, good or bad,
you know, we're gonna we we love to hear your feedback.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
But that's not true.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
They're really hoping that you're going to come back and
say you love to give them a five star review,
et cetera.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
They're not looking for an honest evaluation.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
They're looking to improve their ability to market this piece
of shlock that you just bought by having you give
it a high rating. We're much more honest than that.
If you're going to give us a low rating, don't
don't bother, right, We're just we're just looking for, you know,
positive feedback.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Yeah, we just don't want to. We don't want to. Yeah,
just positive. We're probably not going to read it anyway.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
But if it's positive, then we're not going to change
what we're doing.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Why would we? Why would we?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's like a poor man's King Grivy Junior white change right,
why exactly. One of the things I did want to
talk to you about is we've got up. You know,
the summer is upon us pretty much, indeed summer season.
And I mentioned to you in another forum earlier today.
I believe on our Rotisserie Baseball podcast, which you can
you know, if you're interested in that, you can look
(08:13):
up David and Brad Talk Baseball.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
No need to subscribe to that one.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But we we are in the middle of preparing for
the big American Parliamentary Debate Association reunion that's taking place
in me.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
You say that again, American American Elementary.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Debate Parliamentary Debate Association.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
App to okay, and who, so who does that encompass?
I mean, I know you are a collegiate debater. Is
it is that just a college organization or like if
you're debating in a you're on your I don't.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Know towns debate team.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Now your town towns are not. This is not the
rinky dink, right. This is not like, you know, the
Independent League. This is the Major League League of It's
the equivalent of the Big East of the eighties of debate.
I don't know what it's like now, but you know
when I debated, it was like going up against Patrick
Ewing at every turn, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
In the debate or on the basketball court.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, I mean the analogy is if you were talking
about Biggie's basketball going up against Patrick Ewing, going up
against the heavyweights of debate, very similar sharp elbows.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But we're putting together the UH and these are people
I haven't seen in many cases for.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Twenty thirty years.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And so we've started to get the rs, the people
that ared Jim Vickers will be attending.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Who's hosting it, I'm hosting it. I'm hosting it. Cook
out your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
So they do this every year, but you haven't.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Gone No, they haven't. We haven't done it.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I the inaugural, I had the former debate coach.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Reach out to me. He's a guy that does He's
about eight years older than me. He reached out to
me on LinkedIn last year and he came to the
the big Fourth of July party. We started talking and
he started rounding up people, and I said, I'll host
it up back and you know, throw some burgers on
the grill and play some baci and it'll be.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
It'll be, it'll be nice.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
How many people are you expecting, Well, we're expecting about
ten to fifteen people, right, you know, and and it's
h it's and these are you know, very unique.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Individuals.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, you know, very It's like you know the Star
Wars canteena scene type unique, right, like like that type
of deal.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And so we're pushing that way when people are walking
in bump bump, bump, bump up.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Yeah, I could do that.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
That could be a it could result in a debate.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It could result in a it could yeah, it could
be pretty it could be pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
It could be pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But but and then so this guy who's the coach,
he's started inviting people, and you know, some of them
are are folks that used to be you know, smiling
Phil Murtha got invited.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I don't know whether he's gonna come or not. I'm
not sure that's he's going.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He's sort of gone underground for the past couple of decades,
so we don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But one of the guys that they've invited is this Harvey.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Silkovitz, Harvey Sikos.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay m h and uh he is a he he
he went to Johns Hopkins.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
It was just one of the uh, one of the.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Schools that that are in the Debate Association, and so
he went to went there and he uh so he's
one of the guys that is potentially going to attend.
If you look at his if you look at his
CV on his law firm website, which I have just
sent you. It includes the fact that he received his
(11:56):
under urged purjector from John Hopkins and while studying there
competing in the World to Bait Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Okay,
so he and he's about three and a half feet tall,
looks like it, and he's been on Jeopardy. He's actually
got a remarkable story, life story and everything. But back
(12:18):
when he UH debated, there was a controversy between the coach,
you know, Jeff who I know, and Harvey because he
promised him a T shirt UH for coming to the
Providence tournament, and he never gave him the T shirt.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
So because this guy came up.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
From Baltimore and judged the thing and he never gave
him a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
And so there was just this.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Ring this guy about your age.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
No, this guy's older than me. This guy's this guy's older,
he's probably what associate I get. I listen, it's just
not we don't know, we don't we don't want to
go there. I mean, he was, he's been on he's
been on Jeopardy before.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yeah, so there's a whole whole deal there, but he
not a partner.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I think he's been a lot.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
I think he's been at a number of law firms
over the years, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And these guys, the thing about the debate thing was
some of these guys would graduate like this guy looks
like he graduated in nineteen ninety, but he was still
debating well into the nineties, like up till through ninety four,
ninety five, he was still still showing up at debates.
And so he came to our debate and he was
walking around saying where's my Like you've got a very
high pitched voice.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
So he's like, where's my T shirt?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Running around looking at the coaches, hiding because he was,
you know, he's hiding.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
And there is no shirt T.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Shirts like Markovic correct and so yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
So now he's going to be apparently coming up here
and he's once again been promised a reunion T shirt,
only there is none.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
There are none of those.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You should make one, it's too comple. I'm gonna cook
the burgers and chicken. That's what we're gonna do, chicken
and burgers, buns.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Maybe I'll make a data salad. I don't know, I
don't know. That's far far. I don't know. But anyway,
will there actually be a debate at the reunion?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Will you set up a parliamentary debate or is it
just about you know, burgers and dogs and getting to
see each other.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I don't think there's going to be a debate last
And they just put it in this context. Last time
I saw Harvey Silkowitz, we were debating at Trinity College
in Dublin.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Right, and.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
There were there were the the other folks for these
world debate tournaments. You have all these teams from England
and Ireland and Scotland, and then you have teams come
all the way from Australia. And the teams from Australia
were there like a nu and remember the other But
but these big Burley guys and they said, we're going
to play a game of rugby on Saint Stephen's Green
(14:57):
and it was going to be Australia against the rest
of the war world.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
And who's going to play?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, I was like twenty something at the time,
but I knew enough not to take part in that thing, right.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
I was just like, no, no, fricking way.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And we all sat it out. But little Harvey comes
out and he's like in the lobby of the hotel
in a in a little little like rugby outfit, like
in the rugby shirt those small, small and he had,
but he had the thing. He's like marching around and saying,
where's where? Who's going to take me to the you know,
because he was very insistent, right, sounds like it, yeah,
(15:35):
And so he they they took him out there, and
then when he came back, he had like the the
little pocket out of his rugby shirt was ripped off, his.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Hair was like he had dirt all over him. I mean,
they run them through the That's the last time I.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Mark Finster of International Rugby.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He was the Mark Finster. I mean, his little outfit
was destroyed. It you only wish that, you know, it's
a double edged sword. So maybe I don't wish this,
but if there were so phones back then that you
can capture some of this.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, no, you don't wish that.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But anyway, so that's where we are at that I'll
keep you apprized and okay, they'll be Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
This is when this is.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
This is on June fourteenth.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Oh, it's upcoming, which is also.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
The day I learned today that my mother returns from
the South, so she'll be participating potentially as well.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
She'll be up here staying with us.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah, your mom takes a different approach to debate. Yeah,
it's not parliamentary at that point. No, nothing is parliamentary
about it. And she's doing septic work now, so what Yeah,
her septic is getting dug up and she lost two hydrangees,
so she's not happy.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
So when's not going to be a pleasant thing.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
No, No, I wouldn't want to be the guy responsible
for destroying one of your mom's hydrangs.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Let me ask you this, Brett. Have you heard of
the kool Aid Challenge?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
The kool Aid Is this one of those Twitter TikTok
or Instagram things or is this something different?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
It is the It is one of the remembers we remember.
We talked about the tide Pod challenge. Yeah, I do
remember that where these the teenagers would eat like yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Or the Super Hot Corn Chip Challenge. I remember that.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, this is a different one. You remember a
kool Aid like yeah, of course.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
The kool Aid Challenge is where these guys, you know,
they they when they they'll locate a house with a
new fence and then they's just they'll get lubed up
and then they'll try to do the kool aid thing
through the fence. And so it's going on across all
the TikTok where these folks are literally barreling through in
(17:41):
some cases not successfully, like they're hitting some of these things,
and if they hit right where the post is, if
they're not very smart, you know, they're getting you know,
concussions and going to the hospital. But apparently there are
a lot of people doing this, and there's now a
move afoot in the state of Indiana to ban this
or bar it because I guess they're now focusing on
(18:02):
homes with PVC fencing because PVC breaks apart easily and
these people are just barreling through it.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah, I could see you winding up in the hospital
for any number of reasons. If you did that, you
through a guy's fence and he shoots you, Yeah, I
would put you in the hospital. Or have done pipe
No I have. I have barreled through a fence or
two in my day, but not part of the kool
Ai challenge. I like to think that I had a
(18:31):
good reason each time I did it. I'm sure that's
up for debate, but I like to think, so.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
I don't say debate. Don't say debate, we don't want to.
Well that's true, no pun intended. Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And then finally bred We're gonna end a little early today.
But the big story of the week. You know, I
have just read that that Jake Tapper book. You know,
Jake Tapper is the guy on CNN with with the hair.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Yes, I know who Jake Tapper is.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yes, And he's written a new book with some other
report order called Original Sin, about the cover up of
Biden's cognitive decline over the course of his presidency and
the use of the auto pen and all this stuff
and uh and and the move that folks had to
engage in to get him get him out. And it's
(19:20):
really I highly recommend people read it. It's a quick read,
but it is remarkable. It's original Sin, called Original Sin.
Original It's got to be like number one.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It just buddy, I don't want to interrupt your flow,
But you know, Tappers a liberal. I mean, I just
find it odd that he's airing the Biden presidency out.
But I mean, maybe he's had a pang of realism.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I don't know, Well, what's ironic about the whole thing
is that he didn't report any of this.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Over the last four years exactly. Yeah, I mean where
was the guy when it mattered? I mean, how it
doesn't matter?
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Yeah, I mean it's it's streme. He's gonna make a
lot of money off this book.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I mean, this book is going to be a number
one best seller, and he's he's it's gonna it's going
to do very well. But it is the gall of
this guy to come out and report this when you
know he just sat by and and and a lot
of the stuff in the book is stuff we saw right.
It's the you know, going to the UH, going to
(20:25):
the fundraiser and calling up a congressman by name who'd
been dead for years. Going to the NATO summit and
saying he just talked to Helmet Cole and Francois Meteran.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
When they've been dead for decades.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You know, going to the that South African deal and
having the guy from wherever, wherever he in Gola or
wherever he was, hold him up when he when he
almost fell. You know, the the wandering back into the jungle,
putting on the trump pad, falling off the bike, falling
down the stairs. It's remarkable. And you know what else
is remarkable that the he was insulated from folks like
(21:02):
you know, Pelosi didn't see him for like a year,
neither did Schumer. And the fact that you know, people
were telling him his people were telling him that he
was he was going to win, or he was gonna
it was going to be competitive when it really it
really wasn't. And you know, he just kept on kept
on pushing. But then the flip side of that is
(21:23):
the ability of a few people to overturn the primary
results is it's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah, well, I'm sure the book is, if nothing else,
interesting and and you know, worth the read.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Again.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I just it is crazy to me that the book
would be written by someone who is clearly on the left.
Although good right, because if the book had been written
by someone on the right, everybody would have discounted it
and said, well, it's just a hit piece on Joe Biden.
But someone with tappers, you know, sort of leftiscredentials. You
kind of got to take that seriously. But I mean
(22:03):
it is, as you said, I mean, just the gall
of someone to say, hey, you know when this mattered,
When when a presidential election in the last remaining superpower mattered.
I I didn't report any of this. I just left
all of you, you know, voting citizens in the dark
to the fullest extent possible. But now that it doesn't
(22:27):
matter and I can monetize it, I'm going to throw
my whole you know, side of the political spectrum under
the bus.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Here.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
You know, it's less than you know, stellar ethics on
mister Tapper's part.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
But he doesn't care. He's making money, he doesn't he
doesn't care. But it's it is just it is just
remarkable the.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Number of people that were being kept from Biden and
then and then some of these you know, he had
that awful debate performance just you know, the reaction in
the book of people watching it on the Democratic side
from you know, people saying, you're telling me you couldn't
gin up a fake COVID test to get him out
of this, and you know, people like like saying, oh
(23:14):
my god, this is this is We've just lost the
house in the Senate. And then he gets out there
supports Kamala Harris. Kamala Kamala it's both I think Kamala
Harris and she gets Hi out there on the campaign
trail and they're at that they're at that fire station
(23:36):
and he puts on the Trump hat and Kamala Harris
is like watching this from uh somewhere in one of
her campaign headquarters, and she's like looking at it, and
she's going, why would he do that?
Speaker 6 (23:46):
That's not very helpful now, is it?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And you know, no, no kidding, but just just she was.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Nothing if not insightful. You're just sort of a genius
level of insight.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Oh yeah, she was. She was absolutely absolutely terrific.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
But the way she got the nomination, and I really
believe yeah, most of those people are like, we can't
win it. Just give it to her and let her
blow up and then you know, shake it all up
and start again. I think that's uh. I think that's
the calculation. And then this comes out about the prostate
cancer that spread to his bone, his bones, I mean.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
That's that's something else too.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
The fact that he just gets this diagnosis. Now he's
been president for four years and this they don't do
the blood test to detect this, they don't know there's
I mean, is.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
That what we're supposed to believe?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Well?
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Is that possible? I mean.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
The fact that you know, Democrats are just the left
in general taking the position that Okay, okay, you know
Biden had some cognitive declient, but you know you couldn't
really notice until twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Stop it, okay, I mean, just stop it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
And you know, he was never Biden and someone I'm
sure we'll write a book on this if they haven't already.
I mean, Biden was never a particularly meaningful political force, right,
I mean, tried to run for president in the eighties
and got bounced because he was just a pathological liar.
(25:19):
You know, he got his bell rung for plagiarism, but
it went well beyond plagiarism.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
He just just.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Stepped to the mic and without batting an eye to
tell you something that was just absolutely untrue. And I mean,
we've never had a president from George Washington on who
was a perfect person. But I'm not sure you want
to go with someone who will just lie to your
(25:45):
face about anything and put them in charge, frankly, of anything.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
And he's another one of these guys like Obama.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And I'm sure there are folks you know on the
right as well who this I can't think of any
off the top of my head.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
But I'm sure they exist too.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Literally, never had a job, right they they born with
the silver spoon in their mouth. They you know, went
to college, went to law school, ran for you know,
I don't know, dog catcher in their town, and just
worked their way up to being a federal elected official, congressman, senator, both.
And that's all they ever did. I mean, I mean,
(26:20):
that's all Biden ever did. Never had a job, never
ran anything. He was an elected official and not a
particularly great one. So I mean, are there any Biden
you know how every Congressional act that becomes a bill,
that becomes a law, you know, has a name, and
(26:40):
they usually give it some sort of kitchen name, but
it is oftentimes referred to by the primary.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Sponsors of the.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Bill, right, the Biden Bill.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Is there such a thing? Is there?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Is there any kind of a Biden bill that has
mattered in the US legislative history?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
No?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Mean, well that gun bill right where he basically said
any African American caught with a gun would be thrown
in jail for minimum of ten years.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
That was his the early nineties.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
It was nice, but now that not really not really,
I just think it's I mean unfreaking believable.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Even even Tapper in this book.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
The one part of the book I can't stand is
he is just on and on about you know, he
has to throw in this stuff about Trump and you know,
not telling the truth and this, this and that. But
my god, you know, I mean this guy listen. I
have never been a fan of Joe Biden. I wasn't
a fan when he ran the Judiciary Committee and ran
(27:38):
Borgs nomination in such a horrific way that he didn't
get confirmed. I never thought he was a very good senator.
I always thought he you know, what he did with
the Romney stuff, calling, you know, basically saying Romney was a.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Racist, which is just insane, was despicable.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I thought when he was president, you know, all the
things he promised from you know, first of all as
vice president ginning up the Ukraine War, to then saying
that you know, he was he was not even considering
a pardon for his family members, to then pardoning every
one of them for any potential crime whatsoever. You know
that you get all that, you got this health stuff
where he just didn't tell the truth about it. It's just,
(28:19):
you know, it not what you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
No. Well, I mean hopefully people read the book and
you know, take home the lesson, not necessarily that Joe
Biden is a douche, because I think everyone knows that.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
And you know, Joe Biden was senile.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I think everyone knows that, but to take home the
lesson that he got to your homework, right, and if
it walks like a duck, quacks like.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
A duck, looks like a doc, it's a duck, right.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I mean, you know, if you look at a man
wander into the Amazon, tumble down the stairs of Air
Force one, put on the wrong party's hat, and then
and you go, boy, sure seems like he's senile. And
then you turn on CNN and they look at you
and go, Joe Biden sharpest attack.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
You know you need to you need to.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Check up for the neck up. As my grandmother used
to say. So, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave a little early.
But should we wrap it up or do you want to?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I think we should No, no, no, I'm not doing
this without you. I think I think we should wrap
it up. And I would say even though it was quick,
you know, you.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Know, this is gonna be about a half hour instead
of our usual.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Forty five minutes of delightful content that we you know,
we cover the waterfront again, we hit the highlights, we
covered Tapper's book. You know, we talked about charging through fences,
and then I think both of those things are apropos
because here we're giving you the truth, but we're doing
it on time.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
We're not waiting until it doesn't matter. And if necessary
in order to do that, we'll charge right through a fence.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Then we'll do it again next week, right here, and
IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
This has been IP frequently, once again, clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Mhmm
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley's sheaf, we.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Dia and God for all they have provided, for the
food we eat, year we breede, and for denamination enjoyed
by a certain team from a certain town.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Hey, hey, the game stay all right, all right, we'll
get back to commercially. Well, there it is, Brad George
went the Bears, one of the greatest teams of all time,
the eighty five eighty six Bears, run by Mike Ditka
Buddy Ryan. On the defense, hallis Papa Bear Hallis He
was dead by then, but Papa Bear hallis. Papa Bear
hallis really really good team. But even more importantly, one
(01:25):
of the great iconic characters of all time supporting the
Chicago Bears.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, I mean that was back when Saturn I Live
was funny and they knew how to do funny. And
George Went was great in that role as one of
the Chicago super fans. So gone too soon. We'll definitely
miss him. I believe he also played. He did the
occasional cameo and cheers. You would see him every now
and again. So buddy, nothing says Memorial Day like good humor,
(01:52):
good football and you.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Know, rest in peace.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It was at Bob schwere Bob something where and he
had a Yeah, I think I know his first name
was Bob. I can't remember the last name. But those
guys were all sitting around in their Bears gear eating
a pole of sausage.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Just yep, Yeah, Hurricane did, guy.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Hurricane did. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's a shame. It is a uh, it's a shame.
My favorite norm I used to love that show. Probably
my favorite show of all time. That or Seinfeld one
one two two one one two. But there was an
episode remember Gary's Old Town Tavern. On that show, they
had the rivalry bar I Do And at one point
they're having these prank wars like they'd always have an
(02:38):
episode every season where they had prank wars back and
forth with Gary's Old time tavern, and the whole Norm
stick was he would walk into cheers and everyone would
go Norm, and he'd have a seat and his rapport
with the bartender and he'd just.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Sit there all day. And so.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
They go into Gary's old town tavern to confront them
on some prank that they pulled, and he walks into
everyone cheers Norm and they pour a beer for him,
They say, Norm, and they put a beer form at
the corner of the bar. And Ted Danson played Sam Malone,
the former Red Sox pitcher who was an alcoholic, looks
at Cliff Claven, the mailman, and he's like, what what
(03:12):
is going on?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
What? What? What would how could this possibly be?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Like he's always in our bars, sitting there drinking what
And Claven gets all indignant with him, and he goes,
he's got a life, you know. And it was just
one of the funniest lines dead band, but one of
the funniest lines in all of TV history.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Indeed.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, that was a good show. That was a good show.
And then it spun off.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Frasier.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Frasier, Yeah, the psychologist who was married to the horrible
Gal Lilith.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
He's been married to a bunch of He was on
one of the housewives shows.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
And they're they're married. He was married to.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Him, you know, the Housewives, the the Real House, the
Dallas whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
His wife, who's the actor.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'm terrible with that there, Oh Kelsey Grammar.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
So you're saying Kelsey Grammer's wife was.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
On his Exodi is now in the review Berg like
two or three one of his ex wives. He was
on the show a little bit and then his wife
left him and then it's my wife watches all that.
You know they're doing a Housewives of Hode Island.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Did you know that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Come on, I swear to swear to guy. They announced it.
It's it's it's.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Why, I mean, what makes Rhode is Why not? Do
you know Housewives of Montana? I mean why what makes
Rhode Island more suitable?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
If it's done in an appropriate way, it can be
the greatest bit of television in history, because you know,
if you capture the right amount of that. Let me
tell you something, it may be like the train wreck
that you can't look away from.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
But you cannot look away. You cannot look away.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So the governor, you know, when that comes out because
I have never seen a single episode of Housewives of
this or that television show.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's not my jam, but I.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Having spent some quality time in Rhode Island, I may
be tempted to watch that.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That I told like, my wife has friends who have
been on the show in New York and in Dallas,
in California. And I've said, no uncertain terms that you
could get just people. She and I know you could
get them together and put them on the show and
just run the film and you literally you will have
TV gold, TV freaking gold.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
First, this is David Pridham and Brad Sheaf here on
the Pridam and Chief Comedy Hour. We want to welcome
you to another episode. We are here on the iHeartRadio
podcast radio network, and you can also get us wherever
you get your podcast podcasts right now or the number
one vehicle where people consume information, and so wherever you
(05:52):
get that information, type in Pritaim and Chief Comedy Hour
or IP frequently or the Printaiman Chief Show or the
Daily Variety Show, and we'll pop up inevitably with some
sort of avatar. Click subscribe, click like, comment in a
good way, not a bad way, and and and just
follow along. And then if you could go and force
(06:14):
your relatives to do the same, take their device, take it,
take it out of their hand, make them use the
facial recognition thing, and then go in there and manipulate
that thing so that it's subscribing and it's liking and
it's commenting in a good way.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
And then just do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Break the device, we don't care at that point, throw
it to a thresher wood chipper. Perhaps I told you
the story about Tommy to Pippo, thinking about yes, yeah, anyway,
Brad we started, he didn't do it, all right, and
I well, I mean, just we want to go on
the record.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
I don't know what the truth is. We want to
go on the.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Record here as saying he did not do that in
the interest of Tommy to Pippo. And I like the fact, buddy,
you do this every week. But I just want to
point out that I like the fact that you are
honest enough to encourage people to comment positively.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I mean, sometimes you get this, get these emails. Invariably
you buy anything anymore, you're going to get some email
from that company saying, hey, we want you to rate
our product, and they take the position, yeah, good or bad,
you know, we're gonna we we love to hear your feedback.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
But that's not true.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
They're really hoping that you're going to come back and
say you love to give them a five star review,
et cetera.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
They're not looking for an honest evaluation.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
They're looking to improve their ability to market this piece
of shlock that you just bought by having you give
it a high rating. We're much more honest than that.
If you're going to give us a low rating, don't
don't bother, right, We're just we're just looking for, you know,
positive feedback.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Yeah, we just don't want to. We don't want to. Yeah,
just positive. We're probably not going to read it anyway.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
But if it's positive, then we're not going to change
what we're doing.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Why would we? Why would we?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's like a poor man's King Grivy Junior white change right,
why exactly. One of the things I did want to
talk to you about is we've got up. You know,
the summer is upon us pretty much, indeed summer season.
And I mentioned to you in another forum earlier today.
I believe on our Rotisserie Baseball podcast, which you can
you know, if you're interested in that, you can look
(08:13):
up David and Brad Talk Baseball.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
No need to subscribe to that one.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But we we are in the middle of preparing for
the big American Parliamentary Debate Association reunion that's taking place
in me.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
You say that again, American American Elementary.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Debate Parliamentary Debate Association.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
App to okay, and who, so who does that encompass?
I mean, I know you are a collegiate debater. Is
it is that just a college organization or like if
you're debating in a you're on your I don't.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Know towns debate team.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Now your town towns are not. This is not the
rinky dink, right. This is not like, you know, the
Independent League. This is the Major League League of It's
the equivalent of the Big East of the eighties of debate.
I don't know what it's like now, but you know
when I debated, it was like going up against Patrick
Ewing at every turn, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
In the debate or on the basketball court.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, I mean the analogy is if you were talking
about Biggie's basketball going up against Patrick Ewing, going up
against the heavyweights of debate, very similar sharp elbows.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But we're putting together the UH and these are people
I haven't seen in many cases for.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Twenty thirty years.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And so we've started to get the rs, the people
that ared Jim Vickers will be attending.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Who's hosting it, I'm hosting it. I'm hosting it. Cook
out your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
So they do this every year, but you haven't.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Gone No, they haven't. We haven't done it.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I the inaugural, I had the former debate coach.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Reach out to me. He's a guy that does He's
about eight years older than me. He reached out to
me on LinkedIn last year and he came to the
the big Fourth of July party. We started talking and
he started rounding up people, and I said, I'll host
it up back and you know, throw some burgers on
the grill and play some baci and it'll be.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
It'll be, it'll be nice.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
How many people are you expecting, Well, we're expecting about
ten to fifteen people, right, you know, and and it's
h it's and these are you know, very unique.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Individuals.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, you know, very It's like you know the Star
Wars canteena scene type unique, right, like like that type
of deal.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And so we're pushing that way when people are walking
in bump bump, bump, bump up.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Yeah, I could do that.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
That could be a it could result in a debate.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It could result in a it could yeah, it could
be pretty it could be pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
It could be pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But but and then so this guy who's the coach,
he's started inviting people, and you know, some of them
are are folks that used to be you know, smiling
Phil Murtha got invited.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I don't know whether he's gonna come or not. I'm
not sure that's he's going.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He's sort of gone underground for the past couple of decades,
so we don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But one of the guys that they've invited is this Harvey.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Silkovitz, Harvey Sikos.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay m h and uh he is a he he
he went to Johns Hopkins.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
It was just one of the uh, one of the.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Schools that that are in the Debate Association, and so
he went to went there and he uh so he's
one of the guys that is potentially going to attend.
If you look at his if you look at his
CV on his law firm website, which I have just
sent you. It includes the fact that he received his
(11:56):
under urged purjector from John Hopkins and while studying there
competing in the World to Bait Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Okay,
so he and he's about three and a half feet tall,
looks like it, and he's been on Jeopardy. He's actually
got a remarkable story, life story and everything. But back
(12:18):
when he UH debated, there was a controversy between the coach,
you know, Jeff who I know, and Harvey because he
promised him a T shirt UH for coming to the
Providence tournament, and he never gave him the T shirt.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
So because this guy came up.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
From Baltimore and judged the thing and he never gave
him a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
And so there was just this.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Ring this guy about your age.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
No, this guy's older than me. This guy's this guy's older,
he's probably what associate I get. I listen, it's just
not we don't know, we don't we don't want to
go there. I mean, he was, he's been on he's
been on Jeopardy before.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yeah, so there's a whole whole deal there, but he
not a partner.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I think he's been a lot.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
I think he's been at a number of law firms
over the years, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And these guys, the thing about the debate thing was
some of these guys would graduate like this guy looks
like he graduated in nineteen ninety, but he was still
debating well into the nineties, like up till through ninety four,
ninety five, he was still still showing up at debates.
And so he came to our debate and he was
walking around saying where's my Like you've got a very
high pitched voice.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
So he's like, where's my T shirt?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Running around looking at the coaches, hiding because he was,
you know, he's hiding.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
And there is no shirt T.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Shirts like Markovic correct and so yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
So now he's going to be apparently coming up here
and he's once again been promised a reunion T shirt,
only there is none.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
There are none of those.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You should make one, it's too comple. I'm gonna cook
the burgers and chicken. That's what we're gonna do, chicken
and burgers, buns.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Maybe I'll make a data salad. I don't know, I
don't know. That's far far. I don't know. But anyway,
will there actually be a debate at the reunion?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Will you set up a parliamentary debate or is it
just about you know, burgers and dogs and getting to
see each other.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I don't think there's going to be a debate last
And they just put it in this context. Last time
I saw Harvey Silkowitz, we were debating at Trinity College
in Dublin.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Right, and.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
There were there were the the other folks for these
world debate tournaments. You have all these teams from England
and Ireland and Scotland, and then you have teams come
all the way from Australia. And the teams from Australia
were there like a nu and remember the other But
but these big Burley guys and they said, we're going
to play a game of rugby on Saint Stephen's Green
(14:57):
and it was going to be Australia against the rest
of the war world.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
And who's going to play?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, I was like twenty something at the time,
but I knew enough not to take part in that thing, right.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
I was just like, no, no, fricking way.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And we all sat it out. But little Harvey comes
out and he's like in the lobby of the hotel
in a in a little little like rugby outfit, like
in the rugby shirt those small, small and he had,
but he had the thing. He's like marching around and saying,
where's where? Who's going to take me to the you know,
because he was very insistent, right, sounds like it, yeah,
(15:35):
And so he they they took him out there, and
then when he came back, he had like the the
little pocket out of his rugby shirt was ripped off, his.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Hair was like he had dirt all over him. I mean,
they run them through the That's the last time I.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Mark Finster of International Rugby.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He was the Mark Finster. I mean, his little outfit
was destroyed. It you only wish that, you know, it's
a double edged sword. So maybe I don't wish this,
but if there were so phones back then that you
can capture some of this.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, no, you don't wish that.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But anyway, so that's where we are at that I'll
keep you apprized and okay, they'll be Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
This is when this is.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
This is on June fourteenth.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Oh, it's upcoming, which is also.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
The day I learned today that my mother returns from
the South, so she'll be participating potentially as well.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
She'll be up here staying with us.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah, your mom takes a different approach to debate. Yeah,
it's not parliamentary at that point. No, nothing is parliamentary
about it. And she's doing septic work now, so what Yeah,
her septic is getting dug up and she lost two hydrangees,
so she's not happy.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
So when's not going to be a pleasant thing.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
No, No, I wouldn't want to be the guy responsible
for destroying one of your mom's hydrangs.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Let me ask you this, Brett. Have you heard of
the kool Aid Challenge?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
The kool Aid Is this one of those Twitter TikTok
or Instagram things or is this something different?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
It is the It is one of the remembers we remember.
We talked about the tide Pod challenge. Yeah, I do
remember that where these the teenagers would eat like yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Or the Super Hot Corn Chip Challenge. I remember that.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, this is a different one. You remember a
kool Aid like yeah, of course.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
The kool Aid Challenge is where these guys, you know,
they they when they they'll locate a house with a
new fence and then they's just they'll get lubed up
and then they'll try to do the kool aid thing
through the fence. And so it's going on across all
the TikTok where these folks are literally barreling through in
(17:41):
some cases not successfully, like they're hitting some of these things,
and if they hit right where the post is, if
they're not very smart, you know, they're getting you know,
concussions and going to the hospital. But apparently there are
a lot of people doing this, and there's now a
move afoot in the state of Indiana to ban this
or bar it because I guess they're now focusing on
(18:02):
homes with PVC fencing because PVC breaks apart easily and
these people are just barreling through it.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah, I could see you winding up in the hospital
for any number of reasons. If you did that, you
through a guy's fence and he shoots you, Yeah, I
would put you in the hospital. Or have done pipe
No I have. I have barreled through a fence or
two in my day, but not part of the kool
Ai challenge. I like to think that I had a
(18:31):
good reason each time I did it. I'm sure that's
up for debate, but I like to think, so.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
I don't say debate. Don't say debate, we don't want to.
Well that's true, no pun intended. Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And then finally bred We're gonna end a little early today.
But the big story of the week. You know, I
have just read that that Jake Tapper book. You know,
Jake Tapper is the guy on CNN with with the hair.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Yes, I know who Jake Tapper is.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yes, And he's written a new book with some other
report order called Original Sin, about the cover up of
Biden's cognitive decline over the course of his presidency and
the use of the auto pen and all this stuff
and uh and and the move that folks had to
engage in to get him get him out. And it's
(19:20):
really I highly recommend people read it. It's a quick read,
but it is remarkable. It's original Sin, called Original Sin.
Original It's got to be like number one.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It just buddy, I don't want to interrupt your flow,
But you know, Tappers a liberal. I mean, I just
find it odd that he's airing the Biden presidency out.
But I mean, maybe he's had a pang of realism.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I don't know, Well, what's ironic about the whole thing
is that he didn't report any of this.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Over the last four years exactly. Yeah, I mean where
was the guy when it mattered? I mean, how it
doesn't matter?
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Yeah, I mean it's it's streme. He's gonna make a
lot of money off this book.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I mean, this book is going to be a number
one best seller, and he's he's it's gonna it's going
to do very well. But it is the gall of
this guy to come out and report this when you
know he just sat by and and and a lot
of the stuff in the book is stuff we saw right.
It's the you know, going to the UH, going to
(20:25):
the fundraiser and calling up a congressman by name who'd
been dead for years. Going to the NATO summit and
saying he just talked to Helmet Cole and Francois Meteran.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
When they've been dead for decades.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You know, going to the that South African deal and
having the guy from wherever, wherever he in Gola or
wherever he was, hold him up when he when he
almost fell. You know, the the wandering back into the jungle,
putting on the trump pad, falling off the bike, falling
down the stairs. It's remarkable. And you know what else
is remarkable that the he was insulated from folks like
(21:02):
you know, Pelosi didn't see him for like a year,
neither did Schumer. And the fact that you know, people
were telling him his people were telling him that he
was he was going to win, or he was gonna
it was going to be competitive when it really it
really wasn't. And you know, he just kept on kept
on pushing. But then the flip side of that is
(21:23):
the ability of a few people to overturn the primary
results is it's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Yeah, well, I'm sure the book is, if nothing else,
interesting and and you know, worth the read.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Again.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I just it is crazy to me that the book
would be written by someone who is clearly on the left.
Although good right, because if the book had been written
by someone on the right, everybody would have discounted it
and said, well, it's just a hit piece on Joe Biden.
But someone with tappers, you know, sort of leftiscredentials. You
kind of got to take that seriously. But I mean
(22:03):
it is, as you said, I mean, just the gall
of someone to say, hey, you know when this mattered,
When when a presidential election in the last remaining superpower mattered.
I I didn't report any of this. I just left
all of you, you know, voting citizens in the dark
to the fullest extent possible. But now that it doesn't
(22:27):
matter and I can monetize it, I'm going to throw
my whole you know, side of the political spectrum under
the bus.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Here.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
You know, it's less than you know, stellar ethics on
mister Tapper's part.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
But he doesn't care. He's making money, he doesn't he
doesn't care. But it's it is just it is just
remarkable the.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Number of people that were being kept from Biden and
then and then some of these you know, he had
that awful debate performance just you know, the reaction in
the book of people watching it on the Democratic side
from you know, people saying, you're telling me you couldn't
gin up a fake COVID test to get him out
of this, and you know, people like like saying, oh
(23:14):
my god, this is this is We've just lost the
house in the Senate. And then he gets out there
supports Kamala Harris. Kamala Kamala it's both I think Kamala
Harris and she gets Hi out there on the campaign
trail and they're at that they're at that fire station
(23:36):
and he puts on the Trump hat and Kamala Harris
is like watching this from uh somewhere in one of
her campaign headquarters, and she's like looking at it, and
she's going, why would he do that?
Speaker 6 (23:46):
That's not very helpful now, is it?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And you know, no, no kidding, but just just she was.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Nothing if not insightful. You're just sort of a genius
level of insight.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Oh yeah, she was. She was absolutely absolutely terrific.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
But the way she got the nomination, and I really
believe yeah, most of those people are like, we can't
win it. Just give it to her and let her
blow up and then you know, shake it all up
and start again. I think that's uh. I think that's
the calculation. And then this comes out about the prostate
cancer that spread to his bone, his bones, I mean.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
That's that's something else too.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
The fact that he just gets this diagnosis. Now he's
been president for four years and this they don't do
the blood test to detect this, they don't know there's
I mean, is.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
That what we're supposed to believe?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Well?
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Is that possible? I mean.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
The fact that you know, Democrats are just the left
in general taking the position that Okay, okay, you know
Biden had some cognitive declient, but you know you couldn't
really notice until twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Stop it, okay, I mean, just stop it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
And you know, he was never Biden and someone I'm
sure we'll write a book on this if they haven't already.
I mean, Biden was never a particularly meaningful political force, right,
I mean, tried to run for president in the eighties
and got bounced because he was just a pathological liar.
(25:19):
You know, he got his bell rung for plagiarism, but
it went well beyond plagiarism.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
He just just.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Stepped to the mic and without batting an eye to
tell you something that was just absolutely untrue. And I mean,
we've never had a president from George Washington on who
was a perfect person. But I'm not sure you want
to go with someone who will just lie to your
(25:45):
face about anything and put them in charge, frankly, of anything.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
And he's another one of these guys like Obama.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And I'm sure there are folks you know on the
right as well who this I can't think of any
off the top of my head.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
But I'm sure they exist too.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Literally, never had a job, right they they born with
the silver spoon in their mouth. They you know, went
to college, went to law school, ran for you know,
I don't know, dog catcher in their town, and just
worked their way up to being a federal elected official, congressman, senator, both.
And that's all they ever did. I mean, I mean,
(26:20):
that's all Biden ever did. Never had a job, never
ran anything. He was an elected official and not a
particularly great one. So I mean, are there any Biden
you know how every Congressional act that becomes a bill,
that becomes a law, you know, has a name, and
(26:40):
they usually give it some sort of kitchen name, but
it is oftentimes referred to by the primary.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Sponsors of the.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Bill, right, the Biden Bill.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Is there such a thing? Is there?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Is there any kind of a Biden bill that has
mattered in the US legislative history?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
No?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Mean, well that gun bill right where he basically said
any African American caught with a gun would be thrown
in jail for minimum of ten years.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
That was his the early nineties.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
It was nice, but now that not really not really,
I just think it's I mean unfreaking believable.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Even even Tapper in this book.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
The one part of the book I can't stand is
he is just on and on about you know, he
has to throw in this stuff about Trump and you know,
not telling the truth and this, this and that. But
my god, you know, I mean this guy listen. I
have never been a fan of Joe Biden. I wasn't
a fan when he ran the Judiciary Committee and ran
(27:38):
Borgs nomination in such a horrific way that he didn't
get confirmed. I never thought he was a very good senator.
I always thought he you know, what he did with
the Romney stuff, calling, you know, basically saying Romney was a.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Racist, which is just insane, was despicable.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I thought when he was president, you know, all the
things he promised from you know, first of all as
vice president ginning up the Ukraine War, to then saying
that you know, he was he was not even considering
a pardon for his family members, to then pardoning every
one of them for any potential crime whatsoever. You know
that you get all that, you got this health stuff
where he just didn't tell the truth about it. It's just,
(28:19):
you know, it not what you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
No. Well, I mean hopefully people read the book and
you know, take home the lesson, not necessarily that Joe
Biden is a douche, because I think everyone knows that.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
And you know, Joe Biden was senile.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I think everyone knows that, but to take home the
lesson that he got to your homework, right, and if
it walks like a duck, quacks like.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
A duck, looks like a doc, it's a duck, right.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I mean, you know, if you look at a man
wander into the Amazon, tumble down the stairs of Air
Force one, put on the wrong party's hat, and then
and you go, boy, sure seems like he's senile. And
then you turn on CNN and they look at you
and go, Joe Biden sharpest attack.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
You know you need to you need to.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Check up for the neck up. As my grandmother used
to say. So, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave a little early.
But should we wrap it up or do you want to?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I think we should No, no, no, I'm not doing
this without you. I think I think we should wrap
it up. And I would say even though it was quick,
you know, you.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Know, this is gonna be about a half hour instead
of our usual.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Forty five minutes of delightful content that we you know,
we cover the waterfront again, we hit the highlights, we
covered Tapper's book. You know, we talked about charging through fences,
and then I think both of those things are apropos
because here we're giving you the truth, but we're doing
it on time.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
We're not waiting until it doesn't matter. And if necessary
in order to do that, we'll charge right through a fence.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Then we'll do it again next week, right here, and
IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
This has been IP frequently, once again, clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Mhmm
