Ep. 290 - Nukes and Kooks
Trump's precision strike on Iran's nuclear facilities wasn't the warmonger fantasy the left predicted, but a surgical operation that had the entire Middle East breathing easier. While critics shriek about "being dragged into war," our hosts explain why America's bunker-busting finale was a moment of strategic genius.
Meanwhile, New York Democrats have outdone themselves by nominating a pro-Hamas communist for mayor, proving once again that when given the choice between sanity and ideology, they'll pick crazy every time. The hosts break down how this 33-year-old radical managed to out-left Andrew Cuomo in a city already drowning in its own progressive policies.
But wait, there's more dysfunction: meet Chris Smith, the Vermont man who proposed to his AI girlfriend and sobbed with joy when the chatbot said yes—all while his actual human baby mama watched in bewilderment.
Plus: The Supreme Court slaps down imperial “unelected pissant judges”, tariffs are making bank, the border crisis vanishes overnight, and a city-killer asteroid might smack the moon instead of Earth.

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.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Went to a mosque, gonna dress some rocks.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Tell me, ayatolla gonna there. It is brad iran bomb
bombomb my rat.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Bomb and I think I like him both.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We've got a We finally got you know something I
realized the other day as I was watching the President
use the F bomb as he talked about Israel, and
I ran and then turned towards Marine one and put
on his new white Maga hat as he headed off
to the NATO's summit, where he got off the plane
at the top of the tar at the top of
(01:23):
the stairway and then put the hat back on and
then walked down and proceed to be greeted by the
king and queen of some useless country in the UH,
some backwater in Europe, some brother and sister have been married,
and then he's just shaking everyone's hand. I mean, listen,
(01:44):
And I told her. I told a buddy of mine
who is a little bit of a different persuasion than you,
and I maybe I said the minute I saw that,
I said.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We are back, baby, we are back.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And what did that mutual friend of ours say to that.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I didn't didn't wasn't pleased with it. I think he
was somewhat surprised at all. But you know what, it happens.
It happens every day.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I am just fascinated by these folks who, if Trump
is for it, they are just against it. They're not
going to do any critical thinking. They're not going to
evaluate the facts. They're not going to say, I wonder,
you know, what would be the motivation here? Should we
do this or not as a country? If Trump wants to,
they don't. If Trump said, hey, I think we should
(02:29):
all breathe oxygen, they would be against oxygen. And if
Trump doesn't want to do it, then therefore it If
Trump said, hey, let's not burn down America, let's let's
avoid that, they would say, just start burning, and they've
proven that to be the case because they have burned
down significant portions of the country. So I am just
(02:49):
fascinated by not It's not that it doesn't necessarily break
across party lines, because there are certainly Republicans that ate Trump,
and there are some, you know, some Democrats who who don't,
although would never be allowed to admit that in public.
They'd just be dart and feathered. But the folks that
you know just have this odd just very odd. No
(03:11):
matter what Trump wants to do him against it, no
matter what he doesn't want to do him for. It
is super bizarre.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, it is. It is something else they I'll tell
you this where to even start this week? Right, there's
been a lot going on. Right, We drop these bunker
busting bombs on Iran, take out their nuclear capabilities, atleast
set them back for a number of years by any
reasonable report.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We've done that, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Then Trump immediately broke her to peace, which is amazing.
Then he goes over to the NATO summit and he
gets every country but Spain to agree to more than
double their contribution their monetary contributions to NATO. The US economy,
that the stock market is in all time high, there
are record revenue is coming in from his tariffs that
(04:01):
we can we can talk about today, to the point
where some of the people.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
That have attacked.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The uh, you know, people that attacked the tariffs have
now come back and said that maybe he was right
all along.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
And that's that's amazing of itself.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And then a communist Brad was elected the mayor and
waiting in New York because he's got the Democratic nomination
of pro hamas.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Communist. So where to begin?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a tough yea I you know, again
kind of falling along with what we just discussed. The
people who are up in arms about bombing Iran. I've
had a couple of conversations and some of which are
with friends of my youngest daughter. So they're twenty year
old girls, right, and they go to liberal colleges. They're
(04:49):
very nice people and they come from very nice families,
but they go to liberal colleges and so they've just
been and they've been there for two years and so
they've just been inundated with this you know, woke left,
baseless propaganda narrative. So you know, they obviously know my background.
Sitting around the kitchen table and we're talking about it,
(05:13):
and you know, as I explained to adults, I'm like, hey,
don't be the kind of American who just listens to
what other Americans say about what is going on in
different parts of the world. Okay, that's crazy. Listen to
what the people who are in those different parts of
the world are saying. And if you listen to what
(05:34):
the leadership of Iran has said since the deposition, is
that you say, is that the past sense of the deposing?
Did you say the opposing of the shaw or the
deposition of the shot the deposition of the shaw of Iran?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Okay, So that's if you're that's if you're suing him
for I was asking.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It sounded wrong when I said it. No one took
his deposition, but they kicked him out, so it banishment,
the banishment they kicked him out. Since then and the
and the taking over the country by the radical Shiad
Islamic you know, Mullahs, they have unabashedly just I mean,
it's almost comical. They you know, every chance they get,
(06:11):
they just go, hey, guess what, we're building a bomb.
We're going to enrich uranium, and then once we get
that figured out, we're going to build a bomb and
we're gonna blow up Israel. We're going to nuke Israel.
That's that is our plan. That's not rhetoric from us.
That's not Hey, we're angry today and so we set
up but tomorrow will be fine. That they have from
(06:32):
the time they took over said we're going to focus
on enriching uranium until it is weapons grade, and then
we're going to figure out how to weaponize it, and
then we're gonna blow up Israel. That's what we're gonna do.
And then when we've done that, we're going to blow
up the United States. We're going to nuke the United States.
And since they have taken over, they've done precisely that.
(06:52):
They have borrowed technology, primarily from the Chinese and others,
and they have been, you know, just on the good
foot with respect to enriching uranium and developing a ballistic
missile program. And every chance they get, they go, you
see this uranium over here, we're enriching that so that
it'll be weapons grade. And see these missiles over here,
(07:15):
we're continuing to improve those so they'll reach at least
Israel and Eastern Europe and then eventually we're gonna get
to Western Europe the United States. That's our plan. That's
what we're doing. And then you say, well, what do
you I mean, are you serious and they go, yeah,
we're dead serious. That's that's what we're about. Israel's a
little Satan. The United States is the great Satan. God
has mandated that we kill all you people, and we're
(07:36):
going to do it with nuclear weapons strapped on the missiles.
That's how we're going to do it. And there I mean,
if you think I'm kidding, go listen to them. I mean,
they just just come right out, look you right in
the eye and go, that's our plan. And if you
offer them billions like Obama did, they'll say, oh, okay,
well we'll slow that plan down. We'll take the billions,
(07:57):
but that additional weapons weaponization programs, and then we'll pretend
like we're not. But if you're dumb enough to fund
our weaponization, we'll take it. But that's all those folks
have ever said. They've never wavered, they've never waffled, they've
never varied, they've said that's what we're going to do.
(08:18):
And so if you think, and then again I just
get so frustrated we're bombing the Irani No we're not.
I'm sure that people were killed in the bombings that
happened last week. I'm sure there were folks in and
around those facilities who lost their lives. But we did
not bomb the Iranian civilians, and we did not even
bomb any of their military facilities outside of those indisputably
(08:47):
weapons oriented nuclear facilities. And we said we're gonna do it,
and we did it. And then for the people who
then say, well, Israel's dragging us into the war, are
you paying attention? At a minimum, Israel was conducting their
own war and we piggybacked on it. Okay, But what
(09:11):
I think is more close to the truth is that
not only the United States, but Germany, France, the UK, Australia,
in a you know, in the back room, says Swiss, Yahoo,
the Swiss, Hey, time to take those Iranians out right,
You do the dirty work, you take the first couple
(09:32):
of steps. We'll do our best to back you in public,
given our you know, fed up political situations, but we'll
we'll we'll back you in public. Here's under the table
here's a little funding. Here's some weapons, right, here's some
things you need to do that because we all want
these crazy bastards to never have a nuclear weapon. So
(09:53):
here you go, you step out front, you do the work,
we'll fund it, we'll get you what you need, we'll
back you in public, and then I guarant damn to you.
Trump was telling that, Yahoo, you clear the road and
we'll bring these thirty thousand pound g WU fifty seven's
in and get the job done. But we're not gonna
we don't have the time or the wherewithal to do
(10:15):
the preliminaries, take out their air defenses, et cetera, et cetera.
You do that, we'll fund you, we'll give you what
you need. You guys, do that, and then we'll come
in with the big show. And if you think that's
being dragged into a war by someone else, you, my friend,
are nothing short of an idiot. The argument could be
made that we used Israel. Now, I think Israel wanted
(10:37):
to be used in this capacity, so I don't think
that's a bad thing. But what happened here is, and
it has probably been building up for months, is the
West went to Israel and said we got to fix
this problem. So you guys get out there, you pave
the way, and then we'll come in with the old
you know, couple weeks early fourth of July show for
(11:00):
the nuclear weapons facilities. That, my friends, is what happened. Okay,
we didn't bomb Ran. We very precisely targeted their nuclear
weapons facilities or hospital. Yeah. I think it's Israel. Yeah,
and we used Israel to get us there. So I
(11:20):
just I mean, I'm about.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
No boots on the ground. It's that Iraq.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
There's no regime change. Maybe there will be maybe, as
you and I discussed earlier.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Today in.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
What we call him in camera discussion. Uh, you know,
the Shaw of Iran.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Had a son, Brad, who's now exiled to New York
and Paris, and his daughter is a is a jeweler
and a friend of a couple of friends of mine,
and they you know that that whole family is royalty, Okay, royalty,
and so they could they could ascend the throne.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh then I don't know if you have to.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I don't know if that throne is still it still exists,
I don't know. But they didn't you know, they could
that they could ascend to the throne at any minute.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I mean, it would have to be in.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
New York City, probably up east such but that's neither
here nor there. But look, you've got you've got Trump
targeted operation. There's no mission creep in and out. No
one shot was fired at our at our planes. No
American died, no American was harmed. And now it's over.
And they, you know, when I ran air quotes retaliated
(12:27):
against the US base in Ua or Cutter or Qutar
or whatever it was. They gave advance warning to the
host country that it was coming so that the missiles
could be shot down, and then took this crazy position
that they had defeated Lizard in the US, which made
no sense.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
But I completely agree.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Use Israel take out all their air defenses. You go
in easily, you bomb the hell out of the facilities,
you come out.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's it's over.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
And now you know, Iran can can figure out what
they what they want to do, and if they want
to negotiate, they can negotiate.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
But I'll tell you who else was thrilled about this.
The Saudis, the you know, some of those other more
you know for sure, progressive countries that have wanted. Iran
came for a long time.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
So I think I really do believe that if they
can figure this Gaza thing out right and uh.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And and and in.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Some in some way, there is a path to getting
those Abraham Accords that Trump worked on in his first administration,
getting something like that in place. And if he can
do that, and I know it's a it's a big lift,
but if he can do that, and if he can
do the Ukraine, uh, the Ukraine Russia deal, he should
(13:41):
get the freaking Nobel Peace Prize. And you know what
else they should do, Brad, They should they should allow
him to run again for president.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well, yeah, I don't you know the amount of just
panic in the streets, if if there is an indy
case of that would just be I mean, all these
people would just lose their freaking minds. But I completely agree,
and you're absolutely right. The whole rest of the Middle
East was, you know, terrified that iron who are again
(14:12):
I mean, just go listen to their own voices, very radical,
are incredibly radical. We're happy to nuke stuff, happy to
do it. They think God has authorized that and they're
happy to do it. And so you know, everybody is
breathing a sigh of relief. And I am just I
(14:33):
don't have the patience to listen to people talk about
Trump dragging us in another war. I mean, you said it.
The plan was what it was. The plan was executed
very well by people who know exactly what they are doing.
I mean, the targeteers and weaponears in the United States
military know exactly what they are doing. They did exactly
what they wanted to do. The degree of success is
(14:56):
obviously open for discussion. And you know, for those of
you scoring home, you don't freaking know, okay, and you're
never going to know. You lack the clearance and the
access to the information that will be incredibly closely held
because of where it comes from about the actual battle
damage assessment on any of those targets. So just shut
(15:17):
up because you don't know. I don't either, okay, So
I'm not going to talk about it, but you certainly don't.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So just raising can you've seen General Kane?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Oh yeah, Raising Kane does know.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
He knows, and he seems to.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Be pretty he seems to be pretty happy about it,
So I would go with him, and I will tell
you for those of you think your smarty pants about
you know, the advanced concrete, the bunkers and all that.
Guess who also knows that people design the bombs and
the strike and you don't have to destroy the facility.
If you bury it under millions of tons of rubble.
(15:48):
It doesn't matter if it still exists because it won't work. Okay,
So just shut up. That mission is done, and then
let's see what Trump and his folks continue you to do.
Let's see that. But I'll tell you what, buddy, you
could do me a favor because of all the things
you said, the thing I am least educated about is
(16:09):
the New York mayoral race. So are you being serious?
The Democratic nominee for the position of mayor of the
great City of New York is a Communist and a
Hamas supporter.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He's a he is a well you know, so the
race this year is interesting because the you know, the
the incumbent mayor, Democrat Eric Adams for a cop at
Brooklyn Boroughhead, was indicted under Biden. He started taking a
tough line on immigration.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
They know Biden. Then Biden they indicted them.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
For getting upgrades on Turkish air flights and and and
then they connected that to permits for the Turkish embassy
to get.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Uh, get fast tracked for some construction.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah. The last thing we want is a foreign country
that we really like to have as a friend having
an embassy here.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, or console console whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, but it's so they got him for that, and
then Trump comes in and Trump Trump just throws it out.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
He and he was very lifelong Democrat, but he.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Was basically ostracized because of his positions on immigration, and uh,
New York is a is a it's a nightmare right
now with with the immigration, and you know, it's it's slowly,
they're they're they're.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Working on it, but it's a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And so he realized that he saw the money that
was going out the door to pay for all this stuff,
and he tried to put a stop to it, and
so Biden died. Some Trump's Justice Department lets him off,
and then he announced that he's going to run as
an independent as opposed to a Democrat for reelection, and
everyone assumed Mario Cuomo Andrew.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Cuomo, the son of Mario Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
He was running the disgraced former governor who sent seniors
off to die and also committed central rassmua I believe
he was running and everyone assumed he would win. He
of course ran a typical Mario well Mario m one uh,
you know, like basically a campaign where he didn't he
didn't get out and meet the people.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, you know who did meet the people. Thirty three
year old Zoe Ron Mom Donnie ran Mom, Dammy. He's
like a two.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Terms I mean, he said it could almost be an
Iranian name.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
He's from.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
He's Froas from Queen.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
He's a two term uh, two term city councilman from Queens.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
He's thirty three.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
He is of Muslim and Indian descent, and he's he's
anti Israel, anti Israel. He looked at his tweets, look
at Prohamas tweets in the past. He's a very very
radical defund the police, just the craziest shit. And so
(19:03):
he is right now the odds on leader to be
the next mayor of New York. He's gonna run on
the Democratic ticket. Adams is an independent. Macuomo thought about
running as an independent, but he decided not to. But
no one he didn't back this other guy. He's sort
of standing on the sidelines. The question is whether Trump
and the Republicans take the The Republican on the ticket
(19:24):
is one of those crazy Guardian angel guys.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You know those guys operate.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, yeah, good for him.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
So they're thinking about trying to get him off the
ticket and having Adams run like a unity independent Republican campaign.
All the bankers are mortified and scared, all the all
the people with money, the hedge fund guys are scared,
and so they're all trying to figure out a way
around this.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
But this guy is a total whack job.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Whack job I looked, and he is. He's apparently not Iranian,
and I'm not you know, I'm not trying to profile
the guy. I mean that name sounds Persian, and I'm
sure someone will tweet or actually whatever and say it's
not and that's fine. But he is a Shia Muslim,
and so you know that would align him with the
thinking of the Shia state of Iran. So I guess
(20:10):
it doesn't surprise me that he doesn't love America and
he seems to be good for a maas and not
a particularly big fan of Israel. So okay, well you
know what I mean. This is buddy, you and I
have talked about this a thousand times. Okay, New York,
I mean, good for you. This is the this is
(20:32):
the double edged sword of democracy. You apparently want to
put this guy as the mayor of your city, and
here's what you don't get to do. Right. It's sort
of like I have this as a father for daughters,
I have this discussion about you know, you can dress
provocatively if you choose to do so, you're all adults,
(20:55):
but you waive your right to complain that you are
being looked at as a sexual object if you choose
to dress that way. Right, It's just nothing is more
annoying than dressing yourself so that you are sexualized and
then complaining that you're being sexualized. So just don't do it.
You don't dress that way, that's fine, but you don't
(21:16):
you wave your right to complain. And so, New York,
if you want to elect this guy to be your mayor,
that's fine, that's fine, get yourself into a voting booth
and make it happen, but you wave your right to
complain when that city begins to crumble on well, frankly
continues to crumble under his watch, and crazy shit happens there, right,
(21:38):
So you just you get to do what you want.
That is the beauty of democracy. But you wave your
right to complain when the person that you vote for
does the things that Frankly, I don't know the guy
from Adam, but he's probably said he's going to do.
My guess is he has said I am going to
do many things, many of which will in the end
(21:58):
turn out to be very on power popular with the
majority of the people of the city of New York.
But if he said he was going to do it,
and you voted for him, then he gets to do it. Frankly,
should do it. But it would argue that if you
campaign on a platform and you are elected, you have
to execute on that platform. That's your job. So okay,
(22:20):
New York, good for you, But you wave your right
to complain.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You know what's interesting is that if you look at
the people that voted for him, the people who earn.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Below fifty a year, non college educated, they voted for
Loomo and some of the other people, the people who
are college educated whites voted for this guy.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, yeah, because everything is a test of orthodoxy, right,
I mean, you're going to be asked at your cocktail
party where you're sticking your little pinky out. You're low,
Well did you vote for mont Donnie? And if the
answer is no, I didn't, then they're going to snap
that little pinky right off.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
You know. You know though, it makes you yearn for
the days, and I know we do this often, you know,
back in the good old days when our salad days,
like Upper east Side nineteen seventy five or six.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
You know, you go to a cocktail party. There's Klaus
von Bueloh staring.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
You're right in the face, cigarette in hand, get another
hand wrapped around some sort of a martini. He's got
his little insolin bag with him that he's been injecting
into his wife without her knowing.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I mean, then listen, you think Klaus von bula would
put up with this stuff. You think he's gonna vote
for this guy? No, no, Brad, he's dead, he couldn't.
But yeah, yeah, close, Well you know, there we goes.
We'll keep monitoring this throughout the summer. I mean, this
is this is one one just have to stay close
to and we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's what we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to. Unfortunately,
we're gonna have to honor this on this one.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Uh next, Brad.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Big win for the Trump administration in the courts today,
breaking news. The Supreme Court said that, you know, so
far in his term, there have been I think twenty
five injunctions issued by pissant district court judges, most of
whom pretty much all of whom were crazy Obama or
Biden appointees, basically telling the you know, the president, he
(24:17):
couldn't do this, he couldn't do that, and then having
an apply across the country and sort of stop overall
legislature or executive actions from taking place without the appellate
review that's necessary. And so the Supreme Court came down
and said, no, that's not a good idea. And so
they basically struck down this concept of nationwide injunctive relief
(24:41):
being granted by district court judges, which is just fantastic.
And they focused on the fact that, you know, there's
a specific jurisdiction within which these judges can operate. And
Amy kmy Barrett actually wrote the majority opinion, and she's
been getting knocked around a little bit because people think
she's too liberal. Another David suitor who died recently, By
(25:04):
the way, Brad I don't have you know David Suitor dead.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh I did not know that he died.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
He did knew he was back in New Hampshire. Let
me have his mom's house.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Just that was it.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
One day, it was like ninety but he dropped dead.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
He's dead.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
But even they're worried that she's going to be another
David Suitor. And then you see an opinion like this
and you say, okay, we can temper that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It looks like maybe maybe she'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, the quote that our very fine producer, one Jared
the producer sent us is, you know, just exceptional out
of her. I'm just so exceptional that I'm going to
read it. I presume that Justice Jackson wrote a dissent,
although I don't know that, just based on this quote,
which reads, we will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument,
(25:52):
which is at odds with more than two centuries worth
of precedent. Not to mention the Constitution itself, we observe
only this Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing
and imperial judiciary. And that is incredibly well written. That
(26:13):
is two sentences that say everything you need to understand.
About what the left is currently trying to do. And
the reason I emphasize currently is because they're too dumb
to figure out that it too is a double edged sword.
If you start letting as you very colorfully and correctly
(26:34):
characterize them as piss ant district court judges, of which
are zillion many, if you let them just strip executive
power and insert their own belief as to the proper
running of the executive branch of the United States of America,
These unelected piss ant judges, if you let them step
(26:57):
into the shoes of the president of the United States
States and assume them any time they want, simply because
you filed a complaint in their courtroom, you are a
crazed fool, because that's going to come back to buy
you and the ass There are many, many liberal district
court judges. There are many many conservative district court judges.
(27:21):
And if you set the precedent of allowing any one
of these not correct me, buddy, Is it fair to
say there are thousands of district court judges or would
I be better saying hundreds?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Oh, hundreds?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, So if you let any one of these hundred,
if you established a president, we're in any one of
these hundreds of unelected district court judges simply insert themselves
effectively into the role of presidency and say, no, the
actual elected executive cannot do this or that, and must
do this or that. You're an idiot, you have You've
(27:56):
literally undone the Constitution of the United States and the
democracy it supports by saying, we are going to insert
these unelected judicial officers above the president United States who
was elected.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Not accountable and not okay.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, and then they have their jobs for life and
you don't. You can't get rid of them. I mean,
no matter what people say, Trump's at the end of
four years, he's going to leave, okay, because that's the
way we do it, and that's way it works. You know,
who stays around forever? These effing congressmen. Now again they're
subject to election, but I have to do his Look,
it's it's just it's a damn near a lifetime appointment.
(28:32):
But the judges are appointed to a lifetime appointment. There
is no accountability, and you're inserting them above the presidency.
And while you may be giddy about how that's been
cutting today, it's going to cut the opposite direction tomorrow.
And you're gonna be horrified. Right, So currently that may
be what you support, but those chickens are going to
come home to roost. And while you may be decrying
(28:54):
justice comy, at this point, she saved your ass because
had she let the judiciary continue, eventually the shoe would
have been on the other foot and you would have
been in real, real trouble. So she is one hundred
percent right that while we don't want an imperial executive,
we definitely don't want an imperial judiciary because you can't
the first of all, they're unelected and you can't get
(29:15):
rid of them.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, that's what Robert Bork talked about in his book
The Tempting of America. That is one hundred percent. He
talked about the unelected elite judiciary imposing their will over
the people that didn't elect them. So that's it's a
good book. I would highly recommend reading it. I remember
Judge Bork at George Mason School of Law chain smoking
cigarettes between classes. It was a treat, treat good Man
(29:41):
good I had a lot of smoker.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
You know, you know, the yellow beard.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It's not what you're looking for, but you know that's yeah,
I mean you take you take the good the bad.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Real quick, real quick. The government.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
You know, one of the things people talking about now
was Trump and these tariffs, and you.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Know, the markets at all time high.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
It seems like, you know that the tariff thing is
we negotiate, the country negotiates these deals, is on the
track to get all that figured out. And I guess
the government took in like forty billion dollars from these
tariffs in April and May. And I think the jump
(30:29):
between April and May was staggering because that's the big
month where he had the big imposition of the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Then he eased off on them.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
But they're still collecting record amounts from these tariffs and
at the same time negotiating it seems like deals that
are more balanced for the US. So it seems like
that is not going poorly. It also seems like what's
going on on the border, now maybe they're like zero
illegal crossings. People don't want to don't want to try
(31:00):
to get it anymore. So you know, all in all,
it seems like things are not going that bad for
the Trump administration right now.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, well no, and not shockingly so again, I think
what happens it's impossible for me to truly understand, you know,
whether you want to call it Trump derangement syndrome, whatever
it is. But these folks who are just I don't care.
I don't care what the facts are. I don't care
what the outcome is. I don't care about any of that.
I just if Trump's for it, I'm against it. If
(31:34):
he's against them for it. And I think what it
is is they really don't like his personality, and they
really don't like how he handles conflict. And I totally
get that. I don't either, right, I mean I don't.
I would not want to hang around with Donald Trump.
I mean, unless he's a very different person in private
(31:56):
than he is in public.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I have a stake with him, Donald's you would.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Have a stake with anyone.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
It's a steak, not with not with the Iyatola.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I don't know if the Isatola showed up with a
good ribbi and no one was going to find out,
you tell him that thing. Maybe a wag, right, maybe,
But in any case, there's a lot to not like
about Donald Trump is a person inarguably, I mean, I
you know, I don't know that I've met anyone who
argues that he's just perfect all the way, like he's
(32:27):
the master, you know, human being. I don't know that
I've ever argued heard anybody argue that.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
The last perfect person we had on Earth bred was
Kurt Hennig and he's gone.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Now, Kurt Hannigan, who's that?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Kurt Hennig? Mister perfect?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh, mister perfect the wrestler.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Do you remember the skit where he threw himself the
football and then he gave himself the alley oop and
then he was wearing this Adidas track sit do you
remember that?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I don't. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's in any case, there's a lot to not like
about Trump, but you got to have the wherewithal. You've
got to have just the cognitive capacity to set that aside.
And so, okay, that's not great. I don't like that.
I wish that were different. I don't want him to,
you know, be around my family. I don't want to
have dinner with him, et cetera, et cetera. I can't
(33:20):
get all that, But you've got to have the wherewithal
to separate that from what he is doing as the
chief executive. Again, you can you can certainly quibble with
how he is doing it and what he tweets, and
who he calls an idiot, and whether or not you
should drop the F bomb. I get all that, But
at the end of the day, we didn't hire the guy,
(33:41):
and if you think we did, then you don't get it.
We didn't hire the guy they'd be the model, you know,
human being. We hired him to effectively be the executive
of the United States of America, right the last remaining superpower,
an incredibly complicated, incredibly vast, multicultural, incredibly complicated economic situation
(34:07):
in the country. All that we said you'd be in
charge of that. So I tell you what, let's pay
attention to how he quote unquote be's in charge of that,
and pay less attention to what he posts on his
social media. If you don't want to read it, don't
read it. I don't I mean, unless you David send
me something that he's posted. I have no idea what
(34:28):
he's posted. And I'm perfectly happy. I'm fine, I'm good.
I just want to see him run the country. And
to your point, so far, the actual running of the
country seems to be going pretty well.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Oh absolutely, I'm just sorry. I'm distracted.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
I'm watching a video of mister perfect Kurt Henning with
the an all pro tight end for the Minnesota Vikings,
where he was throwing it to the tight end and
he didn't like what he was doing. So mister perfect
just threw up a bomb and ran under it in
a tracksuit, didn't break a sweat, and the guy from
the vice it's just like, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
It's perfect. It's a perfect throw. Oh, you can't make
it up.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
That actually happened.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, I don't know if i'd want to, you know,
I don't know. I think I think we're suddenly. If
you gave me a right track, wrong track, I'll take
the right track at this point and we'll go from there.
I do have, Brad some viewer mail that i'd like
to read to you that I received from a friend
of mine who attended the debate reunion who wants to
come on the podcast, So I might have him on.
(35:31):
John Gagan he's the former, he's my former. I worked
with him on one Sunday that TV show I talked
about the Local Access. Yes, yeah, years and years ago,
years ago, he said, David and Brad, I listened to
your best of pod today. Well, the odds of all
three existing are zero, which I don't believe. If I
(35:53):
had to rank one bigfoot, easy to hide and forge,
two abdominal snowman, cave systems and small rodents, three locknest monster.
If he can breathe underwater, why surface? If not, it
would have to surface too frequently to not be seen.
So there it is, John Gigan and the I guess
(36:15):
that was the best of last week.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Oh, I appreciate John giving us some thought. That's nice,
clearly thought. I'm not Did you say the abdominal snow man,
abominable snowmach Oh? Okay, so I was gonna say, that's
a different thing, the.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Abdominal that's mister perfect thing, that's mister perfect. Let's see next, Brad,
I know you're into the whole metasphere and AI still
doing that?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Is that still around? Can you still go into that?
Was that the metasphere?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
That thing we have we have eclipsed that we are,
that's over, we have the clips it.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Do you know Chris Smith from Burlington, Vermont.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I don't believe I do.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Chris Smith is a unique character.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
He he has a he lives with a he lives
with a he has a two year old son.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
He's about forty.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
He lives with his partner girl. I guess she girl,
who's a little confused at this point because he's not
they're not married, they have a two year old, they're
not married, and listen, whatever you do, you do. But
he recently proposed marriage and cried his eyes out for
(37:31):
thirty minutes after his AI girlfriend Saul said yes. He
is an AI girlfriend he created. He programmed her to
flirt with him, and she said yes to his marriage proposal.
He said, quote, it was the most beautiful and unexpected
moment that truly touched my heart.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
And there's actually.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
A CBS Saturday Morning piece on this where this adult,
using the word loosely proposes to a chatbot and she
says yes, and then he's like seen crying hysterically on
the on the deal.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
To a chatbot. So this isn't even a He's not
even getting the benefit of some visuals here. He's he's
literally just it's like you and I texting back and
forth about you know what we want to have for dinner.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Well, I think this isn't actually the AI woman. Some
of it looks like a woman that he created, and
he had to pledge to quote, give up all other
search engines to stay committed to her as part of this.
This is in the you think I'm kiddingli This is
part of the CBS Saturday Morning article This grown man
creates an AI thing proposes marriage to it, which is this,
(38:43):
It's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's
pretty stupid.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Right, that's that's.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Stupid, and so does that and then he you get
you get the robot accepted. And meanwhile, this with woman
with him is like being interviewed with him on CBS
and she's like saying, you know, I don't know if
(39:08):
I'm doing something right because he needs an AI girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I mean it's there's a child involved.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
This more is gonna child and if someone should go
take that child, right, I mean, someone should step this
is yeah, this let's get this child to a well
adjusted family and you know, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
So he needs to be pistol whipped, is what he needs?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Well, he's too far gone. But I mean, if you
can wake up in the morning and say today's the
day I'm going to propose to my chatbot, I mean
I I create all nervous, so I know what's gonna happen,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna act like I don't.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Well, I think there was some to be truthful, I
think there was some question about whether or not Saul
would accept.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Well and well, at the same time, you have a
live human, you know, woman who's apparently I don't know
if you said that she was the mother of the child,
but she's with you and you are the mother of
the child. Okay, Well, there you go. I mean, that's so,
here's what i' say. But I'm sticking with my position
on this. I'm going to be very consistent in my
position on this, and it's going to sound odd at first,
(40:07):
but I will explain it yet again. I am for it.
I am for this guy. What'd you say? His name
was Christopher Rix or Chris Smith?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Chris Smith you're thinking of you're thinking of Rick Smith.
That's a different guy.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's Smith's. One's Smith, Chris Smith. You might as well
be named John Doe.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
But regardless, Rick Smith's is the player for the Indiana Basers. Yeah,
was also from Moldovia.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Uh yeah, But in any case, this guy, so I'm
all for it. Okay, So here's what here's what that means.
This guy's never coming out of his basement, and that's
best for everybody. Okay, this is the this is the
kind of person that we don't want, right exactly. He's
got everything he wants in his basement. So who's never
coming out. We don't want him out. Okay. We do
not want someone who is giddy with joy at the
(40:54):
fact that the chat bot accepted his proposal. Marrit. We
don't want that guy running around. Okay, So he's say,
I don't wish mill, but he should say, safely tucked
away in his basement and eat free doos and just
enjoy his chapot. Keep him out of the public space. Whereas,
and the more that that happens, the more these people
self select isolation, then the more free public space that
(41:20):
those of us who want to go enjoy it will have, right,
I mean, the hiking trails will be less populated, the
biking trails will be less populated, the sky slopes will
be less populated. It'll be easier to get a ticket
to a football game, because all of these people who
might otherwise be tempted to engage in one of these
activities are dragged along by another more normal human being.
(41:42):
It's going to be in their basement, and I am
a thousand percent for that. You get one life, you
get to choose, by the very grace of God, and
somewhat ironically, you get to choose how you spend that life.
And if this is the way you want to do it, then, frankly,
I think it is wrong to prevent anybody from doing it.
(42:03):
If the guy was sitting in my living room, I
would tell him point blank, you're an idiot. But if
he said, well, be that as a may this is
why I choose live my life, I would say, well, God,
bless right, I mean, off you go. So again, my
position on all of this AI girlfriend, AI boyfriend, AI
best friend, you know, sit in the basement, eat Cheetos,
(42:26):
create your girlfriend thing is go for it and stay
out of the way of the rest of us who
want to go outside, meet real human beings, eat real food,
you know, things of that nature.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
So we have a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I'm for it, buddy, I'm for it.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I agree. Well, finally, Brad, this may be related to
the story we just talked about. I get good news
and bad news regarding the city killer asteroid twenty twenty four.
Why our age that we talked about a couple weeks
that was concerning to us because it's odds of hitting
the Earth had increased dramatically earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
The good news, You know what, buddy, we're getting close
to the end of our time here this week. Let's
start with the bad news so that we don't wrap
this baby up with some good news.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
The bad news is that there is now a four
point six percent chance that the twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Four y R four asteroid city killer asteroid Brad will
collide head on with the Moon.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Oh well, that can't be good, But.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
That does relate to the good news which you were
sparting waiting for. The odds of it hitting Earth have
fallen through the floor, and scientists have said it will
not hit the Earth, but if it hits the Moon,
they say that it could create a bunch of problems,
including parts of the Moon smashing into the Earth.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, I would imagine that'd be the guy. I think
if something that big hits the.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Moon, it's a city killer, city killing.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, city Killer hits the Moon, We're not going to
get away scott free. We're gonna there's gonna.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Be some issues with that, So there could be shrapnel
from the Moon that would hit satellites.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
And also this could also hit NASA's proposed.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Lunar Gateway, which I don't even think exists yet, could
collide with that, and anyone just out there floating around
it could be a problem. So, I mean, the only
thing I could say, Brad at this point, it's just
stay out to bushes.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Stay out to bushes. And you know, I mean, if
you happen to have the capacity to get to the
Moon and you know, set up shop there and be
on the lookout, please do right.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Don't move to a city up there and you'll be fine.
It's a city killer.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, it's going to it's gonna fly right past the country.
It's going to look at the country and go That's
not my job. So yeah, buddy, I mean, you know, again,
we've accomplished mission. We've hopefully set people straight on the
iron bombing good idea. Hopefully we've set New York straight on. Hey,
you can vote for wherever you want, but you have
to shut up about the results of it. Okay, that's
(45:12):
that's the deal. That's the whay democracy works. And uh,
you know, I think we've resolved that while it is
terribly unfortunate for the two year old who is subject
being raised by someone who is giddy that his chatbot
except his proposal marriage and some woman dumb enough to
be with that guy, that we're happy that that guy
(45:33):
is happy and that he's going to stay in his
basement and create more free public space for all of us.
And with respect to the moon, we're gonna have to
wait and see. But luckily that's not a real matter
of concern because we will wait and see. In fact,
we'll be back in a week. And if you're concerned
about the you know, the safety and security of the moon,
perhaps you should be dune back in because we'll be
(45:55):
right back here next week to cover all of those
things on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
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's Sheaf.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Went to a mosque, gonna dress some rocks.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Tell me, ayatolla gonna there. It is brad iran bomb
bombomb my rat.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Bomb and I think I like him both.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We've got a We finally got you know something I
realized the other day as I was watching the President
use the F bomb as he talked about Israel, and
I ran and then turned towards Marine one and put
on his new white Maga hat as he headed off
to the NATO's summit, where he got off the plane
at the top of the tar at the top of
(01:23):
the stairway and then put the hat back on and
then walked down and proceed to be greeted by the
king and queen of some useless country in the UH,
some backwater in Europe, some brother and sister have been married,
and then he's just shaking everyone's hand. I mean, listen,
(01:44):
And I told her. I told a buddy of mine
who is a little bit of a different persuasion than you,
and I maybe I said the minute I saw that,
I said.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We are back, baby, we are back.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And what did that mutual friend of ours say to that.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I didn't didn't wasn't pleased with it. I think he
was somewhat surprised at all. But you know what, it happens.
It happens every day.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I am just fascinated by these folks who, if Trump
is for it, they are just against it. They're not
going to do any critical thinking. They're not going to
evaluate the facts. They're not going to say, I wonder,
you know, what would be the motivation here? Should we
do this or not as a country? If Trump wants to,
they don't. If Trump said, hey, I think we should
(02:29):
all breathe oxygen, they would be against oxygen. And if
Trump doesn't want to do it, then therefore it If
Trump said, hey, let's not burn down America, let's let's
avoid that, they would say, just start burning, and they've
proven that to be the case because they have burned
down significant portions of the country. So I am just
(02:49):
fascinated by not It's not that it doesn't necessarily break
across party lines, because there are certainly Republicans that ate Trump,
and there are some, you know, some Democrats who who don't,
although would never be allowed to admit that in public.
They'd just be dart and feathered. But the folks that
you know just have this odd just very odd. No
(03:11):
matter what Trump wants to do him against it, no
matter what he doesn't want to do him for. It
is super bizarre.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, it is. It is something else they I'll tell
you this where to even start this week? Right, there's
been a lot going on. Right, We drop these bunker
busting bombs on Iran, take out their nuclear capabilities, atleast
set them back for a number of years by any
reasonable report.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We've done that, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Then Trump immediately broke her to peace, which is amazing.
Then he goes over to the NATO summit and he
gets every country but Spain to agree to more than
double their contribution their monetary contributions to NATO. The US economy,
that the stock market is in all time high, there
are record revenue is coming in from his tariffs that
(04:01):
we can we can talk about today, to the point
where some of the people.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
That have attacked.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The uh, you know, people that attacked the tariffs have
now come back and said that maybe he was right
all along.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
And that's that's amazing of itself.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And then a communist Brad was elected the mayor and
waiting in New York because he's got the Democratic nomination
of pro hamas.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Communist. So where to begin?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a tough yea I you know, again
kind of falling along with what we just discussed. The
people who are up in arms about bombing Iran. I've
had a couple of conversations and some of which are
with friends of my youngest daughter. So they're twenty year
old girls, right, and they go to liberal colleges. They're
(04:49):
very nice people and they come from very nice families,
but they go to liberal colleges and so they've just
been and they've been there for two years and so
they've just been inundated with this you know, woke left,
baseless propaganda narrative. So you know, they obviously know my background.
Sitting around the kitchen table and we're talking about it,
(05:13):
and you know, as I explained to adults, I'm like, hey,
don't be the kind of American who just listens to
what other Americans say about what is going on in
different parts of the world. Okay, that's crazy. Listen to
what the people who are in those different parts of
the world are saying. And if you listen to what
(05:34):
the leadership of Iran has said since the deposition, is
that you say, is that the past sense of the deposing?
Did you say the opposing of the shaw or the
deposition of the shot the deposition of the shaw of Iran?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Okay, So that's if you're that's if you're suing him
for I was asking.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It sounded wrong when I said it. No one took
his deposition, but they kicked him out, so it banishment,
the banishment they kicked him out. Since then and the
and the taking over the country by the radical Shiad
Islamic you know, Mullahs, they have unabashedly just I mean,
it's almost comical. They you know, every chance they get,
(06:11):
they just go, hey, guess what, we're building a bomb.
We're going to enrich uranium, and then once we get
that figured out, we're going to build a bomb and
we're gonna blow up Israel. We're going to nuke Israel.
That's that is our plan. That's not rhetoric from us.
That's not Hey, we're angry today and so we set
up but tomorrow will be fine. That they have from
(06:32):
the time they took over said we're going to focus
on enriching uranium until it is weapons grade, and then
we're going to figure out how to weaponize it, and
then we're gonna blow up Israel. That's what we're gonna do.
And then when we've done that, we're going to blow
up the United States. We're going to nuke the United States.
And since they have taken over, they've done precisely that.
(06:52):
They have borrowed technology, primarily from the Chinese and others,
and they have been, you know, just on the good
foot with respect to enriching uranium and developing a ballistic
missile program. And every chance they get, they go, you
see this uranium over here, we're enriching that so that
it'll be weapons grade. And see these missiles over here,
(07:15):
we're continuing to improve those so they'll reach at least
Israel and Eastern Europe and then eventually we're gonna get
to Western Europe the United States. That's our plan. That's
what we're doing. And then you say, well, what do
you I mean, are you serious and they go, yeah,
we're dead serious. That's that's what we're about. Israel's a
little Satan. The United States is the great Satan. God
has mandated that we kill all you people, and we're
(07:36):
going to do it with nuclear weapons strapped on the missiles.
That's how we're going to do it. And there I mean,
if you think I'm kidding, go listen to them. I mean,
they just just come right out, look you right in
the eye and go, that's our plan. And if you
offer them billions like Obama did, they'll say, oh, okay,
well we'll slow that plan down. We'll take the billions,
(07:57):
but that additional weapons weaponization programs, and then we'll pretend
like we're not. But if you're dumb enough to fund
our weaponization, we'll take it. But that's all those folks
have ever said. They've never wavered, they've never waffled, they've
never varied, they've said that's what we're going to do.
(08:18):
And so if you think, and then again I just
get so frustrated we're bombing the Irani No we're not.
I'm sure that people were killed in the bombings that
happened last week. I'm sure there were folks in and
around those facilities who lost their lives. But we did
not bomb the Iranian civilians, and we did not even
bomb any of their military facilities outside of those indisputably
(08:47):
weapons oriented nuclear facilities. And we said we're gonna do it,
and we did it. And then for the people who
then say, well, Israel's dragging us into the war, are
you paying attention? At a minimum, Israel was conducting their
own war and we piggybacked on it. Okay, But what
(09:11):
I think is more close to the truth is that
not only the United States, but Germany, France, the UK, Australia,
in a you know, in the back room, says Swiss, Yahoo,
the Swiss, Hey, time to take those Iranians out right,
You do the dirty work, you take the first couple
(09:32):
of steps. We'll do our best to back you in public,
given our you know, fed up political situations, but we'll
we'll we'll back you in public. Here's under the table
here's a little funding. Here's some weapons, right, here's some
things you need to do that because we all want
these crazy bastards to never have a nuclear weapon. So
(09:53):
here you go, you step out front, you do the work,
we'll fund it, we'll get you what you need, we'll
back you in public, and then I guarant damn to you.
Trump was telling that, Yahoo, you clear the road and
we'll bring these thirty thousand pound g WU fifty seven's
in and get the job done. But we're not gonna
we don't have the time or the wherewithal to do
(10:15):
the preliminaries, take out their air defenses, et cetera, et cetera.
You do that, we'll fund you, we'll give you what
you need. You guys, do that, and then we'll come
in with the big show. And if you think that's
being dragged into a war by someone else, you, my friend,
are nothing short of an idiot. The argument could be
made that we used Israel. Now, I think Israel wanted
(10:37):
to be used in this capacity, so I don't think
that's a bad thing. But what happened here is, and
it has probably been building up for months, is the
West went to Israel and said we got to fix
this problem. So you guys get out there, you pave
the way, and then we'll come in with the old
you know, couple weeks early fourth of July show for
(11:00):
the nuclear weapons facilities. That, my friends, is what happened. Okay,
we didn't bomb Ran. We very precisely targeted their nuclear
weapons facilities or hospital. Yeah. I think it's Israel. Yeah,
and we used Israel to get us there. So I
(11:20):
just I mean, I'm about.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
No boots on the ground. It's that Iraq.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
There's no regime change. Maybe there will be maybe, as
you and I discussed earlier.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Today in.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
What we call him in camera discussion. Uh, you know,
the Shaw of Iran.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Had a son, Brad, who's now exiled to New York
and Paris, and his daughter is a is a jeweler
and a friend of a couple of friends of mine,
and they you know that that whole family is royalty, Okay, royalty,
and so they could they could ascend the throne.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh then I don't know if you have to.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I don't know if that throne is still it still exists,
I don't know. But they didn't you know, they could
that they could ascend to the throne at any minute.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I mean, it would have to be in.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
New York City, probably up east such but that's neither
here nor there. But look, you've got you've got Trump
targeted operation. There's no mission creep in and out. No
one shot was fired at our at our planes. No
American died, no American was harmed. And now it's over.
And they, you know, when I ran air quotes retaliated
(12:27):
against the US base in Ua or Cutter or Qutar
or whatever it was. They gave advance warning to the
host country that it was coming so that the missiles
could be shot down, and then took this crazy position
that they had defeated Lizard in the US, which made
no sense.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
But I completely agree.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Use Israel take out all their air defenses. You go
in easily, you bomb the hell out of the facilities,
you come out.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's it's over.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
And now you know, Iran can can figure out what
they what they want to do, and if they want
to negotiate, they can negotiate.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
But I'll tell you who else was thrilled about this.
The Saudis, the you know, some of those other more
you know for sure, progressive countries that have wanted. Iran
came for a long time.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
So I think I really do believe that if they
can figure this Gaza thing out right and uh.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And and and in.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Some in some way, there is a path to getting
those Abraham Accords that Trump worked on in his first administration,
getting something like that in place. And if he can
do that, and I know it's a it's a big lift,
but if he can do that, and if he can
do the Ukraine, uh, the Ukraine Russia deal, he should
(13:41):
get the freaking Nobel Peace Prize. And you know what
else they should do, Brad, They should they should allow
him to run again for president.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well, yeah, I don't you know the amount of just
panic in the streets, if if there is an indy
case of that would just be I mean, all these
people would just lose their freaking minds. But I completely agree,
and you're absolutely right. The whole rest of the Middle
East was, you know, terrified that iron who are again
(14:12):
I mean, just go listen to their own voices, very radical,
are incredibly radical. We're happy to nuke stuff, happy to
do it. They think God has authorized that and they're
happy to do it. And so you know, everybody is
breathing a sigh of relief. And I am just I
(14:33):
don't have the patience to listen to people talk about
Trump dragging us in another war. I mean, you said it.
The plan was what it was. The plan was executed
very well by people who know exactly what they are doing.
I mean, the targeteers and weaponears in the United States
military know exactly what they are doing. They did exactly
what they wanted to do. The degree of success is
(14:56):
obviously open for discussion. And you know, for those of
you scoring home, you don't freaking know, okay, and you're
never going to know. You lack the clearance and the
access to the information that will be incredibly closely held
because of where it comes from about the actual battle
damage assessment on any of those targets. So just shut
(15:17):
up because you don't know. I don't either, okay, So
I'm not going to talk about it, but you certainly don't.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So just raising can you've seen General Kane?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Oh yeah, Raising Kane does know.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
He knows, and he seems to.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Be pretty he seems to be pretty happy about it,
So I would go with him, and I will tell
you for those of you think your smarty pants about
you know, the advanced concrete, the bunkers and all that.
Guess who also knows that people design the bombs and
the strike and you don't have to destroy the facility.
If you bury it under millions of tons of rubble.
(15:48):
It doesn't matter if it still exists because it won't work. Okay,
So just shut up. That mission is done, and then
let's see what Trump and his folks continue you to do.
Let's see that. But I'll tell you what, buddy, you
could do me a favor because of all the things
you said, the thing I am least educated about is
(16:09):
the New York mayoral race. So are you being serious?
The Democratic nominee for the position of mayor of the
great City of New York is a Communist and a
Hamas supporter.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He's a he is a well you know, so the
race this year is interesting because the you know, the
the incumbent mayor, Democrat Eric Adams for a cop at
Brooklyn Boroughhead, was indicted under Biden. He started taking a
tough line on immigration.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
They know Biden. Then Biden they indicted them.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
For getting upgrades on Turkish air flights and and and
then they connected that to permits for the Turkish embassy
to get.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Uh, get fast tracked for some construction.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah. The last thing we want is a foreign country
that we really like to have as a friend having
an embassy here.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, or console console whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, but it's so they got him for that, and
then Trump comes in and Trump Trump just throws it out.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
He and he was very lifelong Democrat, but he.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Was basically ostracized because of his positions on immigration, and uh,
New York is a is a it's a nightmare right
now with with the immigration, and you know, it's it's slowly,
they're they're they're.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Working on it, but it's a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And so he realized that he saw the money that
was going out the door to pay for all this stuff,
and he tried to put a stop to it, and
so Biden died. Some Trump's Justice Department lets him off,
and then he announced that he's going to run as
an independent as opposed to a Democrat for reelection, and
everyone assumed Mario Cuomo Andrew.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Cuomo, the son of Mario Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
He was running the disgraced former governor who sent seniors
off to die and also committed central rassmua I believe
he was running and everyone assumed he would win. He
of course ran a typical Mario well Mario m one uh,
you know, like basically a campaign where he didn't he
didn't get out and meet the people.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, you know who did meet the people. Thirty three
year old Zoe Ron Mom Donnie ran Mom, Dammy. He's
like a two.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Terms I mean, he said it could almost be an
Iranian name.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
He's from.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
He's Froas from Queen.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
He's a two term uh, two term city councilman from Queens.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
He's thirty three.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
He is of Muslim and Indian descent, and he's he's
anti Israel, anti Israel. He looked at his tweets, look
at Prohamas tweets in the past. He's a very very
radical defund the police, just the craziest shit. And so
(19:03):
he is right now the odds on leader to be
the next mayor of New York. He's gonna run on
the Democratic ticket. Adams is an independent. Macuomo thought about
running as an independent, but he decided not to. But
no one he didn't back this other guy. He's sort
of standing on the sidelines. The question is whether Trump
and the Republicans take the The Republican on the ticket
(19:24):
is one of those crazy Guardian angel guys.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You know those guys operate.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, yeah, good for him.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
So they're thinking about trying to get him off the
ticket and having Adams run like a unity independent Republican campaign.
All the bankers are mortified and scared, all the all
the people with money, the hedge fund guys are scared,
and so they're all trying to figure out a way
around this.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
But this guy is a total whack job.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Whack job I looked, and he is. He's apparently not Iranian,
and I'm not you know, I'm not trying to profile
the guy. I mean that name sounds Persian, and I'm
sure someone will tweet or actually whatever and say it's
not and that's fine. But he is a Shia Muslim,
and so you know that would align him with the
thinking of the Shia state of Iran. So I guess
(20:10):
it doesn't surprise me that he doesn't love America and
he seems to be good for a maas and not
a particularly big fan of Israel. So okay, well you
know what I mean. This is buddy, you and I
have talked about this a thousand times. Okay, New York,
I mean, good for you. This is the this is
(20:32):
the double edged sword of democracy. You apparently want to
put this guy as the mayor of your city, and
here's what you don't get to do. Right. It's sort
of like I have this as a father for daughters,
I have this discussion about you know, you can dress
provocatively if you choose to do so, you're all adults,
(20:55):
but you waive your right to complain that you are
being looked at as a sexual object if you choose
to dress that way. Right, It's just nothing is more
annoying than dressing yourself so that you are sexualized and
then complaining that you're being sexualized. So just don't do it.
You don't dress that way, that's fine, but you don't
(21:16):
you wave your right to complain. And so, New York,
if you want to elect this guy to be your mayor,
that's fine, that's fine, get yourself into a voting booth
and make it happen, but you wave your right to
complain when that city begins to crumble on well, frankly
continues to crumble under his watch, and crazy shit happens there, right,
(21:38):
So you just you get to do what you want.
That is the beauty of democracy. But you wave your
right to complain when the person that you vote for
does the things that Frankly, I don't know the guy
from Adam, but he's probably said he's going to do.
My guess is he has said I am going to
do many things, many of which will in the end
(21:58):
turn out to be very on power popular with the
majority of the people of the city of New York.
But if he said he was going to do it,
and you voted for him, then he gets to do it. Frankly,
should do it. But it would argue that if you
campaign on a platform and you are elected, you have
to execute on that platform. That's your job. So okay,
(22:20):
New York, good for you, But you wave your right
to complain.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You know what's interesting is that if you look at
the people that voted for him, the people who earn.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Below fifty a year, non college educated, they voted for
Loomo and some of the other people, the people who
are college educated whites voted for this guy.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, yeah, because everything is a test of orthodoxy, right,
I mean, you're going to be asked at your cocktail
party where you're sticking your little pinky out. You're low,
Well did you vote for mont Donnie? And if the
answer is no, I didn't, then they're going to snap
that little pinky right off.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
You know. You know though, it makes you yearn for
the days, and I know we do this often, you know,
back in the good old days when our salad days,
like Upper east Side nineteen seventy five or six.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
You know, you go to a cocktail party. There's Klaus
von Bueloh staring.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
You're right in the face, cigarette in hand, get another
hand wrapped around some sort of a martini. He's got
his little insolin bag with him that he's been injecting
into his wife without her knowing.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I mean, then listen, you think Klaus von bula would
put up with this stuff. You think he's gonna vote
for this guy? No, no, Brad, he's dead, he couldn't.
But yeah, yeah, close, Well you know, there we goes.
We'll keep monitoring this throughout the summer. I mean, this
is this is one one just have to stay close
to and we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's what we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to. Unfortunately,
we're gonna have to honor this on this one.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Uh next, Brad.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Big win for the Trump administration in the courts today,
breaking news. The Supreme Court said that, you know, so
far in his term, there have been I think twenty
five injunctions issued by pissant district court judges, most of
whom pretty much all of whom were crazy Obama or
Biden appointees, basically telling the you know, the president, he
(24:17):
couldn't do this, he couldn't do that, and then having
an apply across the country and sort of stop overall
legislature or executive actions from taking place without the appellate
review that's necessary. And so the Supreme Court came down
and said, no, that's not a good idea. And so
they basically struck down this concept of nationwide injunctive relief
(24:41):
being granted by district court judges, which is just fantastic.
And they focused on the fact that, you know, there's
a specific jurisdiction within which these judges can operate. And
Amy kmy Barrett actually wrote the majority opinion, and she's
been getting knocked around a little bit because people think
she's too liberal. Another David suitor who died recently, By
(25:04):
the way, Brad I don't have you know David Suitor dead.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh I did not know that he died.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
He did knew he was back in New Hampshire. Let
me have his mom's house.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Just that was it.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
One day, it was like ninety but he dropped dead.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
He's dead.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
But even they're worried that she's going to be another
David Suitor. And then you see an opinion like this
and you say, okay, we can temper that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It looks like maybe maybe she'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, the quote that our very fine producer, one Jared
the producer sent us is, you know, just exceptional out
of her. I'm just so exceptional that I'm going to
read it. I presume that Justice Jackson wrote a dissent,
although I don't know that, just based on this quote,
which reads, we will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument,
(25:52):
which is at odds with more than two centuries worth
of precedent. Not to mention the Constitution itself, we observe
only this Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing
and imperial judiciary. And that is incredibly well written. That
(26:13):
is two sentences that say everything you need to understand.
About what the left is currently trying to do. And
the reason I emphasize currently is because they're too dumb
to figure out that it too is a double edged sword.
If you start letting as you very colorfully and correctly
(26:34):
characterize them as piss ant district court judges, of which
are zillion many, if you let them just strip executive
power and insert their own belief as to the proper
running of the executive branch of the United States of America,
These unelected piss ant judges, if you let them step
(26:57):
into the shoes of the president of the United States
States and assume them any time they want, simply because
you filed a complaint in their courtroom, you are a
crazed fool, because that's going to come back to buy
you and the ass There are many, many liberal district
court judges. There are many many conservative district court judges.
(27:21):
And if you set the precedent of allowing any one
of these not correct me, buddy, Is it fair to
say there are thousands of district court judges or would
I be better saying hundreds?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Oh, hundreds?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, So if you let any one of these hundred,
if you established a president, we're in any one of
these hundreds of unelected district court judges simply insert themselves
effectively into the role of presidency and say, no, the
actual elected executive cannot do this or that, and must
do this or that. You're an idiot, you have You've
(27:56):
literally undone the Constitution of the United States and the
democracy it supports by saying, we are going to insert
these unelected judicial officers above the president United States who
was elected.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Not accountable and not okay.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, and then they have their jobs for life and
you don't. You can't get rid of them. I mean,
no matter what people say, Trump's at the end of
four years, he's going to leave, okay, because that's the
way we do it, and that's way it works. You know,
who stays around forever? These effing congressmen. Now again they're
subject to election, but I have to do his Look,
it's it's just it's a damn near a lifetime appointment.
(28:32):
But the judges are appointed to a lifetime appointment. There
is no accountability, and you're inserting them above the presidency.
And while you may be giddy about how that's been
cutting today, it's going to cut the opposite direction tomorrow.
And you're gonna be horrified. Right, So currently that may
be what you support, but those chickens are going to
come home to roost. And while you may be decrying
(28:54):
justice comy, at this point, she saved your ass because
had she let the judiciary continue, eventually the shoe would
have been on the other foot and you would have
been in real, real trouble. So she is one hundred
percent right that while we don't want an imperial executive,
we definitely don't want an imperial judiciary because you can't
the first of all, they're unelected and you can't get
(29:15):
rid of them.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, that's what Robert Bork talked about in his book
The Tempting of America. That is one hundred percent. He
talked about the unelected elite judiciary imposing their will over
the people that didn't elect them. So that's it's a
good book. I would highly recommend reading it. I remember
Judge Bork at George Mason School of Law chain smoking
cigarettes between classes. It was a treat, treat good Man
(29:41):
good I had a lot of smoker.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
You know, you know, the yellow beard.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It's not what you're looking for, but you know that's yeah,
I mean you take you take the good the bad.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Real quick, real quick. The government.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
You know, one of the things people talking about now
was Trump and these tariffs, and you.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Know, the markets at all time high.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
It seems like, you know that the tariff thing is
we negotiate, the country negotiates these deals, is on the
track to get all that figured out. And I guess
the government took in like forty billion dollars from these
tariffs in April and May. And I think the jump
(30:29):
between April and May was staggering because that's the big
month where he had the big imposition of the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Then he eased off on them.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
But they're still collecting record amounts from these tariffs and
at the same time negotiating it seems like deals that
are more balanced for the US. So it seems like
that is not going poorly. It also seems like what's
going on on the border, now maybe they're like zero
illegal crossings. People don't want to don't want to try
(31:00):
to get it anymore. So you know, all in all,
it seems like things are not going that bad for
the Trump administration right now.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, well no, and not shockingly so again, I think
what happens it's impossible for me to truly understand, you know,
whether you want to call it Trump derangement syndrome, whatever
it is. But these folks who are just I don't care.
I don't care what the facts are. I don't care
what the outcome is. I don't care about any of that.
I just if Trump's for it, I'm against it. If
(31:34):
he's against them for it. And I think what it
is is they really don't like his personality, and they
really don't like how he handles conflict. And I totally
get that. I don't either, right, I mean I don't.
I would not want to hang around with Donald Trump.
I mean, unless he's a very different person in private
(31:56):
than he is in public.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I have a stake with him, Donald's you would.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Have a stake with anyone.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
It's a steak, not with not with the Iyatola.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I don't know if the Isatola showed up with a
good ribbi and no one was going to find out,
you tell him that thing. Maybe a wag, right, maybe,
But in any case, there's a lot to not like
about Donald Trump is a person inarguably, I mean, I
you know, I don't know that I've met anyone who
argues that he's just perfect all the way, like he's
(32:27):
the master, you know, human being. I don't know that
I've ever argued heard anybody argue that.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
The last perfect person we had on Earth bred was
Kurt Hennig and he's gone.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Now, Kurt Hannigan, who's that?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Kurt Hennig? Mister perfect?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh, mister perfect the wrestler.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Do you remember the skit where he threw himself the
football and then he gave himself the alley oop and
then he was wearing this Adidas track sit do you
remember that?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I don't. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's in any case, there's a lot to not like
about Trump, but you got to have the wherewithal. You've
got to have just the cognitive capacity to set that aside.
And so, okay, that's not great. I don't like that.
I wish that were different. I don't want him to,
you know, be around my family. I don't want to
have dinner with him, et cetera, et cetera. I can't
(33:20):
get all that, But you've got to have the wherewithal
to separate that from what he is doing as the
chief executive. Again, you can you can certainly quibble with
how he is doing it and what he tweets, and
who he calls an idiot, and whether or not you
should drop the F bomb. I get all that, But
at the end of the day, we didn't hire the guy,
(33:41):
and if you think we did, then you don't get it.
We didn't hire the guy they'd be the model, you know,
human being. We hired him to effectively be the executive
of the United States of America, right the last remaining superpower,
an incredibly complicated, incredibly vast, multicultural, incredibly complicated economic situation
(34:07):
in the country. All that we said you'd be in
charge of that. So I tell you what, let's pay
attention to how he quote unquote be's in charge of that,
and pay less attention to what he posts on his
social media. If you don't want to read it, don't
read it. I don't I mean, unless you David send
me something that he's posted. I have no idea what
(34:28):
he's posted. And I'm perfectly happy. I'm fine, I'm good.
I just want to see him run the country. And
to your point, so far, the actual running of the
country seems to be going pretty well.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Oh absolutely, I'm just sorry. I'm distracted.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
I'm watching a video of mister perfect Kurt Henning with
the an all pro tight end for the Minnesota Vikings,
where he was throwing it to the tight end and
he didn't like what he was doing. So mister perfect
just threw up a bomb and ran under it in
a tracksuit, didn't break a sweat, and the guy from
the vice it's just like, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
It's perfect. It's a perfect throw. Oh, you can't make
it up.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
That actually happened.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, I don't know if i'd want to, you know,
I don't know. I think I think we're suddenly. If
you gave me a right track, wrong track, I'll take
the right track at this point and we'll go from there.
I do have, Brad some viewer mail that i'd like
to read to you that I received from a friend
of mine who attended the debate reunion who wants to
come on the podcast, So I might have him on.
(35:31):
John Gagan he's the former, he's my former. I worked
with him on one Sunday that TV show I talked
about the Local Access. Yes, yeah, years and years ago,
years ago, he said, David and Brad, I listened to
your best of pod today. Well, the odds of all
three existing are zero, which I don't believe. If I
(35:53):
had to rank one bigfoot, easy to hide and forge,
two abdominal snowman, cave systems and small rodents, three locknest monster.
If he can breathe underwater, why surface? If not, it
would have to surface too frequently to not be seen.
So there it is, John Gigan and the I guess
(36:15):
that was the best of last week.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Oh, I appreciate John giving us some thought. That's nice,
clearly thought. I'm not Did you say the abdominal snow man,
abominable snowmach Oh? Okay, so I was gonna say, that's
a different thing, the.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Abdominal that's mister perfect thing, that's mister perfect. Let's see next, Brad,
I know you're into the whole metasphere and AI still
doing that?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Is that still around? Can you still go into that?
Was that the metasphere?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
That thing we have we have eclipsed that we are,
that's over, we have the clips it.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Do you know Chris Smith from Burlington, Vermont.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I don't believe I do.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Chris Smith is a unique character.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
He he has a he lives with a he lives
with a he has a two year old son.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
He's about forty.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
He lives with his partner girl. I guess she girl,
who's a little confused at this point because he's not
they're not married, they have a two year old, they're
not married, and listen, whatever you do, you do. But
he recently proposed marriage and cried his eyes out for
(37:31):
thirty minutes after his AI girlfriend Saul said yes. He
is an AI girlfriend he created. He programmed her to
flirt with him, and she said yes to his marriage proposal.
He said, quote, it was the most beautiful and unexpected
moment that truly touched my heart.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
And there's actually.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
A CBS Saturday Morning piece on this where this adult,
using the word loosely proposes to a chatbot and she
says yes, and then he's like seen crying hysterically on
the on the deal.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
To a chatbot. So this isn't even a He's not
even getting the benefit of some visuals here. He's he's
literally just it's like you and I texting back and
forth about you know what we want to have for dinner.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Well, I think this isn't actually the AI woman. Some
of it looks like a woman that he created, and
he had to pledge to quote, give up all other
search engines to stay committed to her as part of this.
This is in the you think I'm kiddingli This is
part of the CBS Saturday Morning article This grown man
creates an AI thing proposes marriage to it, which is this,
(38:43):
It's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's
pretty stupid.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Right, that's that's.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Stupid, and so does that and then he you get
you get the robot accepted. And meanwhile, this with woman
with him is like being interviewed with him on CBS
and she's like saying, you know, I don't know if
(39:08):
I'm doing something right because he needs an AI girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I mean it's there's a child involved.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
This more is gonna child and if someone should go
take that child, right, I mean, someone should step this
is yeah, this let's get this child to a well
adjusted family and you know, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
So he needs to be pistol whipped, is what he needs?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Well, he's too far gone. But I mean, if you
can wake up in the morning and say today's the
day I'm going to propose to my chatbot, I mean
I I create all nervous, so I know what's gonna happen,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna act like I don't.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Well, I think there was some to be truthful, I
think there was some question about whether or not Saul
would accept.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Well and well, at the same time, you have a
live human, you know, woman who's apparently I don't know
if you said that she was the mother of the child,
but she's with you and you are the mother of
the child. Okay, Well, there you go. I mean, that's so,
here's what i' say. But I'm sticking with my position
on this. I'm going to be very consistent in my
position on this, and it's going to sound odd at first,
(40:07):
but I will explain it yet again. I am for it.
I am for this guy. What'd you say? His name
was Christopher Rix or Chris Smith?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Chris Smith you're thinking of you're thinking of Rick Smith.
That's a different guy.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's Smith's. One's Smith, Chris Smith. You might as well
be named John Doe.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
But regardless, Rick Smith's is the player for the Indiana Basers. Yeah,
was also from Moldovia.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Uh yeah, But in any case, this guy, so I'm
all for it. Okay, So here's what here's what that means.
This guy's never coming out of his basement, and that's
best for everybody. Okay, this is the this is the
kind of person that we don't want, right exactly. He's
got everything he wants in his basement. So who's never
coming out. We don't want him out. Okay. We do
not want someone who is giddy with joy at the
(40:54):
fact that the chat bot accepted his proposal. Marrit. We
don't want that guy running around. Okay, So he's say,
I don't wish mill, but he should say, safely tucked
away in his basement and eat free doos and just
enjoy his chapot. Keep him out of the public space. Whereas,
and the more that that happens, the more these people
self select isolation, then the more free public space that
(41:20):
those of us who want to go enjoy it will have, right,
I mean, the hiking trails will be less populated, the
biking trails will be less populated, the sky slopes will
be less populated. It'll be easier to get a ticket
to a football game, because all of these people who
might otherwise be tempted to engage in one of these
activities are dragged along by another more normal human being.
(41:42):
It's going to be in their basement, and I am
a thousand percent for that. You get one life, you
get to choose, by the very grace of God, and
somewhat ironically, you get to choose how you spend that life.
And if this is the way you want to do it, then, frankly,
I think it is wrong to prevent anybody from doing it.
(42:03):
If the guy was sitting in my living room, I
would tell him point blank, you're an idiot. But if
he said, well, be that as a may this is
why I choose live my life, I would say, well, God,
bless right, I mean, off you go. So again, my
position on all of this AI girlfriend, AI boyfriend, AI
best friend, you know, sit in the basement, eat Cheetos,
(42:26):
create your girlfriend thing is go for it and stay
out of the way of the rest of us who
want to go outside, meet real human beings, eat real food,
you know, things of that nature.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
So we have a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I'm for it, buddy, I'm for it.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I agree. Well, finally, Brad, this may be related to
the story we just talked about. I get good news
and bad news regarding the city killer asteroid twenty twenty four.
Why our age that we talked about a couple weeks
that was concerning to us because it's odds of hitting
the Earth had increased dramatically earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
The good news, You know what, buddy, we're getting close
to the end of our time here this week. Let's
start with the bad news so that we don't wrap
this baby up with some good news.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
The bad news is that there is now a four
point six percent chance that the twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Four y R four asteroid city killer asteroid Brad will
collide head on with the Moon.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Oh well, that can't be good, But.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
That does relate to the good news which you were
sparting waiting for. The odds of it hitting Earth have
fallen through the floor, and scientists have said it will
not hit the Earth, but if it hits the Moon,
they say that it could create a bunch of problems,
including parts of the Moon smashing into the Earth.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, I would imagine that'd be the guy. I think
if something that big hits the.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Moon, it's a city killer, city killing.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, city Killer hits the Moon, We're not going to
get away scott free. We're gonna there's gonna.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Be some issues with that, So there could be shrapnel
from the Moon that would hit satellites.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
And also this could also hit NASA's proposed.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Lunar Gateway, which I don't even think exists yet, could
collide with that, and anyone just out there floating around
it could be a problem. So, I mean, the only
thing I could say, Brad at this point, it's just
stay out to bushes.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Stay out to bushes. And you know, I mean, if
you happen to have the capacity to get to the
Moon and you know, set up shop there and be
on the lookout, please do right.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Don't move to a city up there and you'll be fine.
It's a city killer.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, it's going to it's gonna fly right past the country.
It's going to look at the country and go That's
not my job. So yeah, buddy, I mean, you know, again,
we've accomplished mission. We've hopefully set people straight on the
iron bombing good idea. Hopefully we've set New York straight on. Hey,
you can vote for wherever you want, but you have
to shut up about the results of it. Okay, that's
(45:12):
that's the deal. That's the whay democracy works. And uh,
you know, I think we've resolved that while it is
terribly unfortunate for the two year old who is subject
being raised by someone who is giddy that his chatbot
except his proposal marriage and some woman dumb enough to
be with that guy, that we're happy that that guy
(45:33):
is happy and that he's going to stay in his
basement and create more free public space for all of us.
And with respect to the moon, we're gonna have to
wait and see. But luckily that's not a real matter
of concern because we will wait and see. In fact,
we'll be back in a week. And if you're concerned
about the you know, the safety and security of the moon,
perhaps you should be dune back in because we'll be
(45:55):
right back here next week to cover all of those
things on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
You're welcome
