Ep. 308 - Medieval Solutions for Modern Problems
David and Brad make an impassioned case for reviving public shaming via pillory—and this week's news provides all the evidence they need. First up: a Scottish woman who orchestrated an elaborate nine-month fake pregnancy with a doll named Bonnie Lee Joyce, complete with gender reveal parties, prosthetic baby bumps, and simulated diaper changes that fooled friends, family, and even the supposed father. Brad and David agree she deserves the stocks, but she's got company. Congressional Democrats blocking government funding while military members, FBI agents, and hungry kids go unpaid (but senators keep cashing checks)? Straight to the pillory. Prince Andrew, who spent decades bilking British taxpayers to fund his 40-prostitutes-in-four-days Thailand adventure before finally being stripped of his royal title? Front row in the town square. The only ones exempt from public shaming? The diseased research monkeys loose in Mississippi—at least they're honest about being extremely angry and dangerous.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley Sheef.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
These little ghouls all came from their modes to get
a joke.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
From my electro. They did them.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It is spooky, spooky time here in America, Brad, And
that is the monster. Do you know Elvira? Remember Elvira,
the Mistress of the Dark. Do you have like a
crush on her when you were young?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I thought she was hot. I don't know that I
would go so far as to say crush, because it's
also a little weird. The get up was, you know,
I mean, if you were just coming into adulthood as
a young male, I mean, the get up was, you know,
getting it done for you for sure?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what. She still alive
and she looks really creepily looks the same.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, that's probably all you need to know. Man, a vampire.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
She's gotta be like seventy something years old, doesn't she.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I would think so.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
At least she had a movie. Do you remember the movie?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh, I don't remember the movie. They did a whole
Alvira movie.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, there was a movie.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think it was called Elvira Mistress of the Dark
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
That's yeah, probably the way to go.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
But anyway, yeah, I didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I probably did and blocked it out, but I'm not
not one hundred percent sure. But that's uh, that's it.
And then Monster Match, Center of Itself. That was a
top hit in the seventies or sixties and fifty eighties,
so big, big hit.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well there you go, buddy.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know what you know what's interesting?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Uh? Well, I can think of you know a couple
of things that may be interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
But god, they did a they did a study, a study.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
By the Ghosts of America group, Ghosts of America.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I didn't know there was such a group. It's a group,
a ghost in it.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I think.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think it's a group that monitors ghosts okay. And
so what they did was they looked at the states
where you were most likely if you were in said
state to see.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A ghost ah okay.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And then they did the number of sightings per ten
thousand people. They did that ratio, and it turns out
that New York State is the most haunted state in America,
where eighty one out of ten thousand people who have
seen the ghost on average.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, well that kind of comes as no surprise when
you think about the state of New York. I mean,
I feel bad for people that live in like Western
New York and upstate New York.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Bills.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, the bills kill you well, right, but they also
seem to be you know, sort of assault of the
earth and regular go along, get along type of people.
But they get tarred with the same brush as you know,
the people who elect mom Donnie hokeel all that. I mean,
you don't need it. It's kind of like the state
(03:40):
of Illinois or I used to live, where you don't
need a single vote outside the city of Chicago to
win any state wide election. If you win Chicago and
then everyone else in the state votes against you, doesn't matter.
You win the election, which is how we wind up
with the absolute dipshits who are governors, et cetera of
(04:03):
the state of Illinois. And the same thing's tue in
New York. You don't need a single other vote to
win an election if you get all the votes out
of New York. I mean, it's just not even close
out of the city of New York. And so you know,
I feel sorry for those people as I feel for
people from downstate Illinois.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, no, it's and that's why it's jerry bandering thing
is so great what they're doing now. Everyone's ratcheting up
the district so you can you can get rid of
all minority parties in these states, which is terrific. Colorado
forty three people out of ten thousand, Rhode Island thirty six,
which is surprising because this state is very haunted. And
(04:42):
then what's interesting is you go through and most of
the states are clustered in the thirties and forties. There's
some fifties, but then Georgia is six.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No one sees a ghost in Georgia.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
How is that possible?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like Savannah is one of the most haunted towns in
the Antebellum South brad.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But everybody knows that, so they don't go there.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So I don't see it out of sight, out of mind.
I got it exactly exactly right.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Anyway, lots going on this week.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I did want to we we finished last week talking
about the Book of Enoch, and then after we did,
I watched I rewatched the Joe.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Rogan episode with.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Anna Pelina Luna, the representative from Florida and.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The one the one.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The only question I had remaining, because I thought that
was a very good exercise, was why was the Book
of Enoch not included in the Bible? And I and
I think the answer from what you said was it
was the sourcing was who wrote it was was not
known and unreliable.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And is that right or there other other results?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, no, that's that's largely correct. Right, So when you Enoch,
had it been included in the Bible, would have been
included in the Old Testament. Right, it is a It
is a Jewish document. It is not a Christian document.
I mean bearing in mind that in the first century
(06:04):
there was a lot of overlap between those two things. Right,
the church was started by the Jesus was a jew
The church was started by the Jews. The Church existed
solely in Jerusalem for the first few years of its existence, right,
And so I don't want to make it sound like
there's no like being a Jew and being a Christian
or a completely different things. Certainly that wasn't true in
the first century, but had it been. The point is
(06:26):
that had it been included, it would have been included.
And to the extent that it is included by the
Ethiopian Church, both Christian and Jewish, it's part of the
Old Testament. And the reason that it wasn't generally accepted
into the Old Testament is that there was no original
(06:48):
Hebrew manuscript of it, right. One of the hurdles that
a document had to get over in order to become
part of the Jewish Bible, if you will, this Hebrew
Holy writ was that it was originally documented, the original
version of it was done in Hebrew. And there's a
(07:11):
lot of debate around the Book of Enoch and its origination,
and there are there are some people who believe that
it probably was originally written in Hebrew, but the only
existent copies of it right are in Greek, and there's
some in Aramaic or Syriac, but none in Hebrew, and
so by the time that the Council of Jamnak decided
(07:34):
what was going to be the official text of you
know what Christians referred to as the Old Testament, what
Jews just referred to as the Bible as scripture, is
that there was no Hebrew manuscript of it. And so
they just said, well, this is not. The expression that
was used by the rabbis was if a text made
(07:55):
the hands unclean, then it was potentially in a category
where it could become scriptural. And I realize that sounds counterintuitive,
but because you would think, well, man, you know, why
would something that was God's word make your hands unclean? Well,
because you were not supposed to touch it. Like if
you watch rabbis interact with scripture in the Jewish faith today,
(08:18):
they use an implement to help them read through. They
don't they don't put their hands on it. Right, not
allowed to do that. You're not allowed to touch the
word of God, right, and if you do, it makes
your hands unclean. Right. So that's even though it sounds counterintuitive,
that's that's how that works. And so Enoch was never
considered to be one of the books that made the
hands unclean, and therefore it never made it into scripture,
(08:43):
and that was largely a key element of that was
because there was no evident Hebrew manuscript of the Book
of Enoch. Does that make sense?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It does.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, that's the one item that they I think they
have that they have that wrong too. I mean, the
you know, the problem you get with a lot of
these folks is that there's a lot of conspiracy assumptions
that are made, and so this is some big conspiracy
to keep this valid, historically accurate book that's fantastical.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Out of the out of the Bible.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And that's where they that's where at least, you know,
she seemed to be coming down.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
But that nobody, I mean, unfortunately, it always makes me laugh. Right,
most people are self aware enough that if you were
to walk up to them and say, okay, give me
your theory, you give me your interpretation on string theory
and explain it. Most people just look at it and go,
I'm not an expert on that. Why would you ask
(09:39):
me that. But if you go up to just the
average you know, swingin Joe and say, well, give me
your theory on scripture and on ancient you know, documents,
they're just happy to wax eloquent on that. Oh well,
you know, I mean, well, you're no more of an
expert on that than you are on theoretical physics or
(09:59):
quantum physics or you know, even high power computing, right,
I mean you just and again, for some weird reason,
most people are self aware enough to go, well, I
don't know, I mean, why would you ask me? But
if you ask them about things like that, things of
his spiritual nature, then they just want to, you know,
just give you their full impression, knowing that they don't
(10:20):
have any real background in it, knowing that they don't
know that the best the thing they can say is, well,
I read a meme on the internet, and so I
believe that, and I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna go,
I'm going to give you a half hour on it.
It's just it's crazy. And so it's just like the
Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary. You know, some
of these gnostic gospels, and people want to take the
(10:42):
same They were written hundreds of years after the events, right.
The four canonical gospels were all written within decades of
the death of Christ and his resurrection, Right, And so
then hundreds of years go by and get these Gnostic Gospels,
and you used to have this conspiracy theory by people
who are like, oh this this was these things were
(11:04):
you know, suppressed by the Church because they tell the
real truth. Well, what right? I mean? So you have
a biography written about someone within a couple decades of
their life by an eyewitness, okay, and you say, okay,
well I've got that. That's probably worth something. And then
three hundred years go by and somebody writes another biography
(11:25):
of this same person using a false name, and you
comparing those two documents, you're saying, well, which one of
these do you think is probably giving the most accurate
representation of the events? That's not a hard question to answer.
And yet, because everybody on earth, for some reason things
they are an expert on these topics, you wind up
with these, really at the end of the day, stupid
(11:47):
conversations about the value of this document that was written
hundreds of years later by someone we don't even know
who they were, right, And so I don't know what
to tell you, but I agree. I obviously I agree
with you completely. And I guess, as you pointed out
last week, the upside to this, the silver lining to
this cloud of people thinking they know what they're talking
about when it comes to ancient Second Temple Jewish documents.
(12:10):
Is that at least people are talking about it right
and to the extent that that gets people more interested
in truth and in faith and in you know, sort
of anchoring yourself to something. That's all good. But to
think that, you know, one congressional representative is likely an
expert on Second Temple Jewish literature, it's just probably not true.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And keep keeping byd This is the woman that Rob
Clark friend of the show Rob Clark calls Air Force
hoti one.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
So you know, every time you say that, I say
to myself, because we're obviously in the midst of recording
this very fine program, is I say to myself, I'm
gonna look this gal up after we get done recording,
so I can see her since she's supposed to be
a smoke show and I've yet to actually do it.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
There you go, I just I just eliminated you there.
Send you some.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, Yeah that's nice. Well, yeah, she's not unattractive. I
don't know that.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Rob Clark listened. So listen.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Today we've got three things to cover and we have
to get through them all right, and I'm gonna give
you these three in no particular order. Right, I'm gonna
give you three categories, and then you're going to decide
where we go first, second, and third. Okay, So we've
got we've got fake babies, we've got turmoil in the
royal family, and we've got escaped monkeys. And these are
(13:34):
all stories that people need.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
If you have a small business in America, you need
to These are all stories that need to be front
and center in your uh, in your radar, on your
radar there, and you need to be cognizant of how
you would deal how you will deal with these issues
when they inevitably come up. So, Brad, where do you
want to start? Fake babies, turmoil in the royal family,
(13:59):
runaway monkeys?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
This is almost like what's that show where you have
to phrase your answer Jeopardy. It's almost like Jeopardy where
I'm picking like a column and this is pre it's
pretty I'm going to go backwards because I think it's
easier to go backwards. I despise the Royal family and
so if we can avoid talking about them, I'm happy
to avoid it. So then it really brings us down
to fake babies and escaped monkeys, and in the past
(14:24):
we have discussed escaped monkeys. We've actually had that discussion
in the past, and my presumption is going to be
that these are different monkeys than the ones we talked about,
you know, two three years ago. But since we've already
done that, and at least in my memory, we have
not talked about fake babies, I'm going to say we
(14:44):
start there, we go to escaped monkeys, and then, by
the grace of God, hope that there's not enough time
left to talk about the freaking royal family. How about that?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Okay, so we'll race through this to get to the
royal family. No, I'm kidding. Uh so, Kira Cousins no
relation to Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
By the way, a young lady in Scotland is being charged.
And listen again, the way I look at all these
things as someone with a legal background, a lawyer, a hallowner,
is I am I assume that people are innocent until
proven guilty, right Like, Oh, Jay had a discussion with
(15:28):
my with my wife the other night about this, and
I look, I still until he's proven guilty.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You know, in the court of law.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think we you know, I think we just you know,
we have to give them presumtion of medicines.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
So this woman, this poor woman who's.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You know, gave birth to a child in Scotland, Scottish child,
Scottish baby.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It's you know, she had.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
She went through the whole thing like on on Facebook,
gender revealed.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Then they did a.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Sonic, shared sonograms and uh uh the bird story gave
the baby and name. The baby was named Bonnie Lee Joyce.
Bonnie Lee Joyce, I guess cousins. Bonnie Lee Joyce cousins.
I suppose you know, I sat next to James Joyce
in an event.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
The other night.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Come on, James Joyce is dead.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I know, that's what I told him.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
What did he say to that?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
He didn't say anything. He just said, I'm here, I'm alive.
Very fascinating, fascinating.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
So yeah, so she gets, you know, gives birth, she
the baby. Daddy is involved and uh he was on
the like the bird sertificate. I suppose she was clearly
showing during her pregnancy. And then a lot of her
friends on social media and air I'm using air quotes
there claimed that the baby wasn't real.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Brad hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Well, what what is the foundation for such a client.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, the baby wasn't real. Ah, she apparently used what's
called a reborn doll. Reborn is the name of the brand.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
The I guess she she was, uh, she was.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
She She wouldn't let people near the baby. No one
heard the baby cry. She wouldn't let people hold the baby.
But I guess with these reborn dolls, you could make
them poor piece. So she changed diapers online and it's
a very realistic looking doll. But then I guess the
mother when she was out, I suppose drinking a couple
(17:44):
of weeks ago, the mother went in to try to comfort.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The baby, and and and turned out to be a
plastic doll.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Brad that she was holding out his Bonnie Lee joice
and and then and then you know, I guess this
differs from OJY in some respects, right, because she did
go on social media and say I'm so sorry. There
is a quote, I'm so sorry. I wasn't pregnant. There
was no baby. I made it all up and kept
(18:13):
it way too far. I faked scans, messages, a whole
bird story and acted like a doll was a real baby.
And I mean, in her defense, I mean, she did
go through a lot of trauma.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I guess with the birth. I guess not because it
was not a real baby, right, so it was no trauma.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
She used a growing prosthetic bump to show that she
was pregnant, She had a lavish gender reveal party where
she got a number of gifts, and then when the
husband baby daddy I guess that's what you call him,
started to smell a rat, she told him that the
baby had passed away. So then you can see on
(18:51):
the link there of the baby. I mean, it looks
it looks somewhat realistic. And and you know what, I
will say this, A lot of people say that she's
a serial liar and a horrible hum being, but she
took care of that doll.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's buzzled them nicely.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah. I mean, you know, I find myself in this
position an alarming percentage of the time we're doing these
podcasts where I just I don't I'm not really sure
what to say. I mean, there are a lot of
questions that are being begged here. My first question is
going to be one that I don't think you expect,
(19:27):
which is, you know, sort of what led to the
discovery of The hoax here is that the mom went
in to comfort the baby, but the baby couldn't have
possibly needed comforting, No, because there's a doll's a doll,
and you know, as far as I know, with the
exception of a few horror movies, dolls don't need anything,
let alone comforting. And so my guess is that the
(19:50):
mom took an opportunity while the mom of the supposed mom,
the grandmom, took the opportunity to go take a little
look see while her daughter was out boozing it up,
not you know, and maybe use the excuse of, oh well,
I thought the maybe needed comforting. And then, you know,
beyond that question of you know, why exactly did grandma
(20:12):
think of doll needed comforting would be what why was
this person who you know is you've sent me an
article here and she is not unattractive, you know, she
doesn't look you know, all weird and wigged out? I mean,
why why did she go through that? This seems like
(20:33):
a terribly complicated, an awkward and uncomfortable thing to do, right, Like,
if I wanted to pretend I had a kid, then
I would start with a pretend adoption. Yeah, not go
through nine months of having to change prostices in order
to make a pregnancy. So was there a reason? Is
(20:55):
she suffered from I mean, obviously she suffers from crazy.
It could be nuts. She's crazy somehow, but I mean,
but she abused as a child.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Oh, I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
This is the article that I looked at, but it
doesn't go into that level of depth. But she did
say as part of her apology because one of the
things I guess that happened, and this is why social
media is toxic.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Just this whole situation is why it's toxic.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
But I guess she was starting to get people who
were jumping on saying how could your idiot friends not
know that this was a doll? And as part of
her apology, she wrote, quote in everyone else's defense, the
doll could move, you could change the facial features, arms
and legs.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
You could feed.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You could feed the doll, making it poor pee. So
when no one is close to the doll, it does
look real. No one was looking at my baby expecting
it to be a doll.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's that's you know, that's what you call cover right
cover to your friends.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, she's trying. I mean, when you and again this
is unfair judgment because I knew it was a doll
going in. But certainly when you look at the pictures
that are in the article you sent me, you look
at that and you go, well, that's a doll, right,
But you know, I mean, you see what you want
to see. We don't see things as they are. We
see things as we are, right, That's important thing to
understand in general. And so you know, I just, yeah,
(22:10):
the whole thing seems super odd, super odd. Buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, it's strange, but you know what, God bless her,
and this will probably teach her to be a good mom.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Well, one would hope when all everybody there's again there's
just a laundry list of questions being begged here. But
what was the boyfriend doing? I mean, baby daddy, he
just he she presents this idea to him and he goes, yeah,
let's do it. That'll be great. What's the benefit of
going through this whole thing?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Well, he didn't know that it was not a He
did not know. He didn't know either, No, he didn't know.
She told him when he got when he started sniffing around,
he told her that the the baby had died. She
told she told him that the baby had died. She
told him that the baby had died.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
So this dude honestly thought, now, I mean sudden, you
know his IQ. But this dude honestly thought that he
had knocked up his girlfriend and that she had given
birth to a live baby. And he thought this the
whole time.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
How did they do?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I mean, why am why? Why am I? Why am
I even asking this? I don't know? But like, what
did she present as the evidence? You did a gender reveal?
So I mean, nominally you have results from a laboratory
that tell you while you know this, this kid has
an excellent.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
WI or she fakes the stands, she faked the scans.
I don't know why it doesn't say work. You know.
Here's an interesting story.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
When I was younger, someone's younger than today, when my
mother was still working. She worked at Dighton Rohobet High School,
which is a juggernaut.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Of a high school in the middle of the Sticks.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And she had a teacher with RhoD in Massachusetts, as
my wife would call Massachusets over in uh, yeah, over
in Dighton reb and uh.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
She had this girl that worked for her who was like.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
An intern, was twenty and she had cancer, and you know,
they did a bunch of benefits for her and all.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Sorts of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And she was relatively you know, handsome young lady. And
my mother would have her over to the house and
they you know, they would just get her a bunch
of stuff and she money and trips and stuff. And uh.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
And I always thought to myself, I saidself, it doesn't
she looks very healthy for a like first of all,
like Tan.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Rested ready. Yeah, it wasn't missing any meals. And I
said this just to to my mother, No, you can turns.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Out the kid.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
This was a big scheme to get people to give money.
And then she took the money and and she'd up
going to jail.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
She's going to jail for that.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You should, Yes, she's absolutely should.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
And plus the bad mojo. The bad mojo is you
know karma there.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
If you're a karma person, you you are begging for
some payback there. See this is it's stuff like that,
But not so much the pregnancy thing, because I'm not
sure anybody got taken for a ride there. I mean,
obviously people got got taken for a conceptual ride, but
I don't know that they were beat out of you know,
money or whatever. It just seems super weird thing to do,
(25:19):
but it's stuff like that, I mean, faking that you
have cancer to effectively steal money and you know, sympathy
and you know all that comes along with it from
good hearted people who just want to do right by you.
Is the reason to bring back pillaring right like you know,
that used to be a sentence if you if you
(25:40):
committed some level of crime, particularly in the UK, you
could be pillaring where they would put you in stocks
out in some public locations toke your head through aboard
and your hands through and then yeah, and then just
peltry with rocks and garbage. That is the perfect punishment
for some one like that. I mean, you know, you
(26:02):
want to limit the size of the rocks. You're not
looking to kill them. It's not a death penalty level offense.
But that is the That is the perfect punishment for
someone who abuses the public trust and people's good nature
for their own just completely selfish benefit. You should be.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Pillar read and they should do that with Schumer. Schumer
is a I.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Mean, they should do it with Schumer for any number
of reasons, among other things. But but I don't want
to go too far field, because we certainly want to
be able to get to the escape monkeys. But can
you can you explain to me? Yes, I read just
a headline that said Trump is trying to get Congress
to do away with the filibuster. And all I know
(26:47):
about philibustering, at least I think I know, is that
philibustering means that you, you know, take your turn at the
front of the Senate and so long as you are talking,
as long as you are holding forth, then the Senate
can't do anything right. So the idea is that by filibustering.
(27:08):
So and I guess there's been some times, you know,
famous in history where you know, folks who've just gone
hours and hours and hours and hours in an attempt
to forestall some vote or other action being taken by
the Senate. And Trump is trying to do way with
the filibuster. Is there more to that than I think?
What's what's going on there?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I think what's happening is he is trying to reopen
the get the government to reopen, because you know, the
government doesn't have many frickin things to do, right, it doesn't,
but one of them is to like you go you have.
You have millions of people who are on food assistance programs,
literally one of the most important things this government does,
and that's all about to go away because the.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
The thing, the benefits expire.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
The government's been shut down for a month, the benefits
expire like in the next day or two, and so.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
All all those social programs that are needed to feed
people are going away.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And the Republicans have voted to basically keep the government open,
and they've got like fifty five votes in the Senate,
including a couple of Democrats, to do it, but you
need sixty. The way the philibuster works is you can't
end debate on a resolution or a bill until you
get sixty votes. And so for then basically Trump's saying
(28:27):
you should change the rules, which they can do with
a majority of Republicans, and you know, just.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Have a straight line.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
So you've explained that, and I appreciate that, But now
I have yet another so and again, I probably most
people have done more research into this than I have,
so I apologize in advance. But what is if all
that is true? You've just said it's true, and I'm
sure it is. The Republicans are trying to reopen the government,
and the Democrats are forestalling that to the point where
(28:56):
you would think somebody that would be just a near
and dear to the heart of your ava leftists, you know,
giving people free stuff. Yeah, and I'm not you know,
I'm not being snied. I mean, you know, if you
if you are incapable of feeding yourself in a country
like the United States, then then we should take care
of that, right. I also believe that we should have
putting you on a path to where that's no longer
true of you. But but no one should be hungry
(29:19):
in a country like the United States. I completely agree
with that. So you're saying the Republicans want to feed
the people and the Democrats don't. And if that's true,
what is the why are the dem I would think
the Democrats would be in a hurry to reopen the government.
They love government, it's all They're all about government.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Well they yeah, they won't.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
They won't vote that the House passed the resolution. They
don't have a filibuster the Senate. You need sixty votes
and the Democrats won't sign on. And what they're what
they're saying is they want to when they created Obamacare
and then when they pass that big COVID Relief Act,
they had these huge subsidies for insurance, for health insurance
that sunset at the end of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
And what the Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Saying is we are now going to agree to fund
the government until the Republicans agree on some health care solution, which.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Has never happened.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I mean, typically if you have a clean continuing it's
bs how they run the government. But typically typically you
just you just have a continuing resolution to fund the government.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I mean, you know, air.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Traffic controllers are not being paid, Maype, You're not flying
anytime soon because that is a nightmare. Now, FBI agents
are not being paid. Across all these agencies, people are
active dut to military. Trump was able to find money
to pay them the last cycle. This cycle, I don't
think it's going to happen. So all these people aren't
getting paid. The social programs that are needed, kids, school
lunches are not getting funded. And it's just total total bs.
(30:40):
And you know who's getting paid. The Congress. Congress is
getting paid. It's demented, it's demented, it's sick. I'm so
tired of it. I'm so tired of it. I'm just
tired of it on both sides. But the Democrats are
particularly at fault this time. But it's just disgusting, vile,
and all these people should be kicked out and they
(31:01):
should be put in stockades, and people should throw big
rocks at the big rocks.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I could not agree more. But they should all be
Pillar Reid, and I just don't. So the Democrats are
taking the position and obviously have to be hoping that
the majority of Americans stand with them in this position
that it is more important to ensure these subsidies than
(31:27):
it is to have a functioning government where critical features
of that government, you know, function fight. Yeah, yeah, like
air traffic controllers, the military, more federal law enforcement. Is
that true? I mean, what is that? Has anybody done
any polling on this?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
It's it's fifty.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's like with everything else, it's fifty to fifty because
you're rooting for your team. It's fifty to fifty. So
everyone thinks they're doing good, and you know what they
should do. They should just they should just get rid
of the filibuster and pass the freaking thing and open
the government.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
They should. It's just it's it's because.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Listen, the Democrats would do the same thing. The filmbuster
has been removed for nominations, it's been removed for Supreme Court,
it's been reproved for lower court.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh so you can remove it like temporarily without doing
away with it forever.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, you can remove, but you do it if you're
in charge in the Senate and you have a majority vote.
If you get fifty one votes, you can change the
rule on the filibuster. That's all you need for that.
It's not like it's in the Constitution or anything.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Why don't they just freaking do that.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
They have been low They just have been loath to
do it because they've viewed as a slippery slope and
it's already happened so many times. I would literally like
that they should get in there today. They should change
the rule and say for purposes of keeping the government
open and simple. But you're still getting a freaking majority,
right vote for the stupid thing. And you know, the
ironic thing on the healthcare thing, Obamacare is a nightmare,
as you and I know from you know, our premium
(32:46):
is going through the roof for no freaking reason.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But Obamacare is a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
But the Republicans have already said they're gonna negotiate with
Democrats on extending those subsidies because most of the people
who get the subsidies are in Republican states and they're
not going to want to take them away. But they're
just saying, keep the government open and then we'll do that.
But it's going to be done by the end of
the year. And that is one hundred percent going to happen.
They're already more than fifty percent of the votes in
both houses to fix to extend that those subsidies out,
(33:15):
so they're going to do that anyway. It's just this
is the dumbest thing, and it's purely purely political, hundred percent.
There's no principle. It's one hundred percent political, and it's
an absolute travesty. And I hope people pay attention and
they vote these people out because.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
It's it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And Trump's right, you know, I know people don't like
Trump and all this stuff, but he's one hundred percent
right to just get rid of the filibuster for this,
open the government up and and you know, fund these
programs that feed people.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
You well, sorry, yeah, yeah, I will, buddy.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I mean, I.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Am as emotionally invested in this as you are, and
not saying something for both of us because we're not
really emotional guys. But I just I'm so sick of
the government. I'm so sick of where we've gotten as
a nation in terms of if Donald Trump came out
and just irrefutably proved that, you know, not even he himself,
(34:16):
but just his administration had found a cure for all
childhood cancers, there would be a significant chunk of people
in this country who would be opposed to that, who
would say, no, if my child has cancer and they
are going to die, and they could live if they
took the Trump administration cure. But I'm not going to
(34:38):
do that because I hate Donald Trump. There would be
people who did that, and that is so dumb and
so ill founded and so childish and so maronic and
every other pejorative adjective that I can think of, And
yet people do that all the time, and it is
ruining the way that we do business, both as a
(34:58):
just as a people, as a cultulture, and as a government.
And it just has to stop. It just has to stop,
or we're going to lose the incredible benefit which again
way too many people in this country don't understand the
value of the United States of America because they've never
had to experience anything else. They've never traveled, they've never
(35:20):
you know, suffered, and so they just take what we
have for granted. You cannot do that. It is not guaranteed,
and it just it really pisses me off.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yep, Let's go to something more pleasant.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Let's go to the monkeys.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
So, then the Tulane University National Biomedical Research Center was
expecting a truck full of research monkeys to arrive there
early this past week. They're coming from somewhere and they
were going through the interstate in Mississippi when there was
(35:55):
a jackknife flip and the the of course, like in
any horrible the turk flips over and the door opens
and all the monkeys escape to the countryside. And then
the sheriff's office immediately notifies the public not to approach
any of the monkeys because they carry hepatitis, c herpes,
and at least COVID.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
And uh so.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
These monkeys were infected on purpose. They have these things
are just in general.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I don't think they have They're not catching hepatitis, sea
herpes and COVID.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
I mean, yeah, they were. They must have been infected, think.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
And they were just shipping them in a truck.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
They were it would appeared to be a aluminum trailer
dot com truck uh and uh the other and of
course the monkeys just just just flee to the into
the Mississippi countryside.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
And they said, well, they were able to kill a
bunch of them, and the Mississippi this.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Is not bad enough that you infected these four monkeys
with three horrific diseases. Now you're just out whacking them
because the lunatic drive of you.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, all right, okay, Yeah, they apparently they warned the
locals to steer clear. They had, they said the Sheriff's
office said that after six hours, all but one of
the monkeys had been shot and killed and those monkeys
were being destroyed air quotes by the Mississippi Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries. But then they were then then the
(37:23):
the the sheriff warned, and I quote, do not approach
the monkey that's left. If you see it, call nine
one one. They pose potential health threats and are very aggressive, probably.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Probably very angry. Well, first of all, you don't want
to approach that monkey because what you already know is
that's the best monkey in the group. Right, That's the
Harrison Ford of of you know, whatever that movie was
that he was the escapee. He's that's the Harrison Ford
of monkeys, right.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I mean, he is just very out house schoolhouse, school
house house and.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Find me that. So you want to stay away from
that monkey, because that's that's the Harrison Forward of monkeys.
It's going to be angry. I mean, here's what, here's
here's what that monkey has gone through. Right, He's just
sitting around doing monkey stuff. And then the next thing
it knows that has hepatitis cee, you know, covid, what
else did you say, herbes, gonorrhea, syphilis. It's just looking
(38:26):
at out through its little bars, going what's next, you bastards?
And then they loaded into a truck which flips over,
and then you're I mean, just imagine that you're sent
for a loop inside of a truck while suffering from
all these diseases. You escape into the woods thinking with itself,
let me just you know, get the hell out of here.
And the next thing you know, all your buddies are
(38:47):
just getting smoked by the sheriff's department, and and you're
the only one left. Let me tell you what, buddy,
You are out for blood. You are out for vengeance.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
So if you're they still don't have them, they still
don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
If you're in Mississippi, you stay away from that monkey,
because that monkey, even as we speak, is smoking a
hand rolled cigarette and looking through a pair of binos
at the sheriff's department where he's planning his revenge. And
just imagine being the sheriff's department, right, I mean Mississippi.
(39:18):
I mean you're sitting around and think, well, you know,
maybe there'll be a lost child, you know, maybe there'll
be a duy. No, you get a call for horribly
infected monkeys loose in your woods, and you got to
deal with that. Yeah, I don't know, but it seems
like if you're gonna do the medical monkey experimentation thing,
(39:39):
you got to do it better. You just got to
do it better than that.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
At least got to You've got to do better at
transporting them.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I mean, I think that's the big thing, right, because
why why, it just doesn't seem to it doesn't make
much sense.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
No, you want a better way to do that. I mean,
first of all, you don't just want you know, Billy
Bob driving the truck. Secondly, you want a truck that if,
for some reason, there's an incident, and you know, obviously
you can't guarantee, no matter how hard you may train
and plan, that there's not going to be some incident.
(40:15):
You want a truck that can survive the incident without
flying open and scattering monkeys broadcast across the state of Mississippi, Right,
I mean, don't you want it seems like there's rules
around that. We got rules around everything. Why is there
not rules around that?
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Do you think the sheriff had fun shooting those monkeys?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
I hope not. I mean I just you know, I
don't love anyone who likes to kill things. That's not
a good sign.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
But but what you were involved, but you were involved
in operations like this? What? What? What?
Speaker 2 (40:48):
What is a discussion like like you're in a room,
you're having your cup of coffee, Hey, she if here,
I hat something.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
I got a project for you today.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
I mean yeah, well, yeah, I mean you're not wrong.
You know, unfortunately there have been times in certain operations
where you know, so there will be lots of you know,
one of the things that bad guys will do is
they'll you know, they'll train certain breeds of dogs up
to just be vicious, which in and of itself is horrible, right,
I mean ruining the animal. But if you're going to
(41:18):
have to take those bad guys down, sometimes you do
have to to shoot the dogs because I mean they
will just tear into you. And so what we always
did was we and there are normally two guys that
are given that the equipment and the role of having
to do that. If it's necessary, you always want more
than one in case some goes sideways. But you identify
(41:41):
the two guys in your group that are the biggest
dog lovers, right, who are going to do everything they
can to deal with those dogs in a more humane
fashion before they shoot them. And so you know, hopefully
in this operation you're saying, well, you know, we'll do
what we can to try and round up the monkeys,
(42:02):
and if we cannot do that, I guess we're gonna
shoot him. And and I you know, and I don't
want to make this like a hunting have tons of
friends who hunt. I think hunting is different. Especially you know,
if you're gonna put the animal to use, you're gonna
eat it, and you know whatever else. I mean, I
don't want to come come across as though, you know,
I'm some sort of anti hunting guy. But if you
(42:22):
if you leave your house on any given day and
you're like, I hope I get to kill something today,
there's something wrong with you. And so my home, yeah
you need my hope, is in the sheriff's department. But
that but that's that that you know, as as a
tactical guy in law enforcement or you know, in the military,
being told you're gonna go in the woods looking for
(42:44):
diseased monkeys and do what you can about that, you're
just looking at your what you know? And then again
they're asking all the questions that you and I have
already asked, Well, why are these monks key's loose? What
do you mean they're full of disease? Who is driving
the truck? Right? Because you know, unfortunately, and all these
(43:09):
jobs are voluntary. I don't make it sound that these
guys are put in a bad position. But when you're
in that job, and as you said, I had that
job for years, you're always the last line of defense, right,
so you always get stuck with these shit shows, they
always fall down to you, and you're the one looking
around going, this is my problem. I wasn't driving the truck.
I didn't infect the monkeys. How is this my problem?
(43:30):
That's your problem, because this is your job, dude. All right, well,
you know, I guess I'll go do it. But yeah,
I mean that's not when you you know, when you
put on your uniform that morning, you're not thinking to yourself, boy,
you know it's going to be one of those disease
monkey days.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah, so it's hard to hard to imagicipate that.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Well, Brad, when you have a couple of minutes left,
why don't we go to the royal family in turmoil?
As you know, Prince Andrew. I'm sorry, that's a mistakes.
They've already made a mistake here, just misster at this point.
But it's Andrew Montbotton Windsor. He's just for having that name,
Andrew mut Winter. He has been stripped of his royal
(44:14):
title of prince. He's been removed the style titles and
honors honors. I like the way their press release just
ends with the word ends.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
Well that's how you know, it just ends.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Yeah, So it's you know, but what's interesting about this
is that they this week they strip him of the title.
The two the other two, who I think is this
is Harry still Prince Harry? Or is he Harry Momboton?
Speaker 3 (44:46):
As far as I know, he's still print.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
They went to a dodger you know, they went.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
To the dodger gate, so disgusting, sitting in the front row, disgusting,
better seats than Sandy Kofax who's sitting on the street.
Seats behind me, just your vile, horrific. You could put
them in the stockade. Too pillary then, But this one Harry,
I guess so all that now that he's lost his title,
he's lost all his protection. All these stories are coming out,
(45:14):
and so I guess. In two thousand and one he
was named the Special Trade Envoid of Thailand and made
a trip to Thailand, and according to this book that's
out now, he had forty prostitutes brought to his room
in his four day trip during the This is what
(45:36):
the UK taxpayers are paying for forty four zero forty
according to the Royal historian.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
Tenaday. You some of these days are travel days too,
so it could be more. I don't know, what is it?
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah, you know, and then he's still going to go.
They're going to move him into another funded some mansion.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
Yeah, I mean, buddy. And again, so here's to me
the most just incredible with the original definition of that word,
just the credulity is not there, right, is the idea
that all this stuff happened twenty five years ago or
(46:22):
more right, and they're just now the Royal family of
Great Britain is just now getting around to saying maybe
we should strip this guy of his titles and privilege
and whatnot, all of which has been covered by you know,
the taxpayers of the UK because he's just the pinnacle
(46:44):
of douche baggery. And yet is you know, parading himself
around as a prince. What the I mean? Stop it?
I sincerely hope and again I like it because I
just think they seem like truly good people. I like
Prince William, I like his wife is her name Kate?
(47:05):
I like those I like those two people. They seem
to be raising their kids decently, they seem to care
about people, they seem to be engaged in real issues,
and so I like them. So having said that, in fairness,
I sincerely hope that this is the last generation of
quote unquote royals that we ever have to deal with.
(47:29):
And if you're if you're on the fence about that,
I encourage you, as David's already pointed out, to just
go back and rewind the Dodger game and look.
Speaker 6 (47:36):
At those two smug, gross a holes, as you say,
blocking my view of Sandy Kofax while they're standing up
that they couldn't tell you anything about the game of baseball,
who's playing.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
They're just there for the publicity. I can't stand them.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
And so I hope that they're freaking brand knew Dodger
hats on the tag still hanging off the backs.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Just it's unconscionable and they should the Great Britain should
rid themselves of that plague and stop pretending like these
people matter again with the exception of Prince William and
I guess she's a princess Kate, they who seem again
like very nice people. Charles La Douche, Camilla Douche, Harry Douche,
(48:26):
Markle Douche, and Andrew unbelievable. He should be in jail. Douche.
I hope they just get rid of all of those
people and just dust off their hands and move forward,
because they're already losing their country to Islamic extremism, and
(48:47):
so the Royals are just icing on that cake. So
get rid of them. We've told you what to do.
We've gone beyond the call of duty here on this
very fine program. We've not only called it out, we've
given you instruction. If you're a great Britain, get rid
of the Royals. The rest of us are waiting, The
world is watching, and we'll be back next week to
(49:07):
see if you did it right here on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
You're welcome.
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley Sheef.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
These little ghouls all came from their modes to get
a joke.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
From my electro. They did them.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It is spooky, spooky time here in America, Brad, And
that is the monster. Do you know Elvira? Remember Elvira,
the Mistress of the Dark. Do you have like a
crush on her when you were young?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I thought she was hot. I don't know that I
would go so far as to say crush, because it's
also a little weird. The get up was, you know,
I mean, if you were just coming into adulthood as
a young male, I mean, the get up was, you know,
getting it done for you for sure?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what. She still alive
and she looks really creepily looks the same.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, that's probably all you need to know. Man, a vampire.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
She's gotta be like seventy something years old, doesn't she.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I would think so.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
At least she had a movie. Do you remember the movie?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh, I don't remember the movie. They did a whole
Alvira movie.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, there was a movie.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think it was called Elvira Mistress of the Dark
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
That's yeah, probably the way to go.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
But anyway, yeah, I didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I probably did and blocked it out, but I'm not
not one hundred percent sure. But that's uh, that's it.
And then Monster Match, Center of Itself. That was a
top hit in the seventies or sixties and fifty eighties,
so big, big hit.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well there you go, buddy.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know what you know what's interesting?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Uh? Well, I can think of you know a couple
of things that may be interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
But god, they did a they did a study, a study.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
By the Ghosts of America group, Ghosts of America.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I didn't know there was such a group. It's a group,
a ghost in it.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I think.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think it's a group that monitors ghosts okay. And
so what they did was they looked at the states
where you were most likely if you were in said
state to see.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A ghost ah okay.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And then they did the number of sightings per ten
thousand people. They did that ratio, and it turns out
that New York State is the most haunted state in America,
where eighty one out of ten thousand people who have
seen the ghost on average.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, well that kind of comes as no surprise when
you think about the state of New York. I mean,
I feel bad for people that live in like Western
New York and upstate New York.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Bills.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, the bills kill you well, right, but they also
seem to be you know, sort of assault of the
earth and regular go along, get along type of people.
But they get tarred with the same brush as you know,
the people who elect mom Donnie hokeel all that. I mean,
you don't need it. It's kind of like the state
(03:40):
of Illinois or I used to live, where you don't
need a single vote outside the city of Chicago to
win any state wide election. If you win Chicago and
then everyone else in the state votes against you, doesn't matter.
You win the election, which is how we wind up
with the absolute dipshits who are governors, et cetera of
(04:03):
the state of Illinois. And the same thing's tue in
New York. You don't need a single other vote to
win an election if you get all the votes out
of New York. I mean, it's just not even close
out of the city of New York. And so you know,
I feel sorry for those people as I feel for
people from downstate Illinois.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, no, it's and that's why it's jerry bandering thing
is so great what they're doing now. Everyone's ratcheting up
the district so you can you can get rid of
all minority parties in these states, which is terrific. Colorado
forty three people out of ten thousand, Rhode Island thirty six,
which is surprising because this state is very haunted. And
(04:42):
then what's interesting is you go through and most of
the states are clustered in the thirties and forties. There's
some fifties, but then Georgia is six.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No one sees a ghost in Georgia.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
How is that possible?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like Savannah is one of the most haunted towns in
the Antebellum South brad.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But everybody knows that, so they don't go there.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So I don't see it out of sight, out of mind.
I got it exactly exactly right.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Anyway, lots going on this week.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I did want to we we finished last week talking
about the Book of Enoch, and then after we did,
I watched I rewatched the Joe.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Rogan episode with.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Anna Pelina Luna, the representative from Florida and.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The one the one.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The only question I had remaining, because I thought that
was a very good exercise, was why was the Book
of Enoch not included in the Bible? And I and
I think the answer from what you said was it
was the sourcing was who wrote it was was not
known and unreliable.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And is that right or there other other results?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, no, that's that's largely correct. Right, So when you Enoch,
had it been included in the Bible, would have been
included in the Old Testament. Right, it is a It
is a Jewish document. It is not a Christian document.
I mean bearing in mind that in the first century
(06:04):
there was a lot of overlap between those two things. Right,
the church was started by the Jesus was a jew
The church was started by the Jews. The Church existed
solely in Jerusalem for the first few years of its existence, right,
And so I don't want to make it sound like
there's no like being a Jew and being a Christian
or a completely different things. Certainly that wasn't true in
the first century, but had it been. The point is
(06:26):
that had it been included, it would have been included.
And to the extent that it is included by the
Ethiopian Church, both Christian and Jewish, it's part of the
Old Testament. And the reason that it wasn't generally accepted
into the Old Testament is that there was no original
(06:48):
Hebrew manuscript of it, right. One of the hurdles that
a document had to get over in order to become
part of the Jewish Bible, if you will, this Hebrew
Holy writ was that it was originally documented, the original
version of it was done in Hebrew. And there's a
(07:11):
lot of debate around the Book of Enoch and its origination,
and there are there are some people who believe that
it probably was originally written in Hebrew, but the only
existent copies of it right are in Greek, and there's
some in Aramaic or Syriac, but none in Hebrew, and
so by the time that the Council of Jamnak decided
(07:34):
what was going to be the official text of you
know what Christians referred to as the Old Testament, what
Jews just referred to as the Bible as scripture, is
that there was no Hebrew manuscript of it. And so
they just said, well, this is not. The expression that
was used by the rabbis was if a text made
(07:55):
the hands unclean, then it was potentially in a category
where it could become scriptural. And I realize that sounds counterintuitive,
but because you would think, well, man, you know, why
would something that was God's word make your hands unclean? Well,
because you were not supposed to touch it. Like if
you watch rabbis interact with scripture in the Jewish faith today,
(08:18):
they use an implement to help them read through. They
don't they don't put their hands on it. Right, not
allowed to do that. You're not allowed to touch the
word of God, right, and if you do, it makes
your hands unclean. Right. So that's even though it sounds counterintuitive,
that's that's how that works. And so Enoch was never
considered to be one of the books that made the
hands unclean, and therefore it never made it into scripture,
(08:43):
and that was largely a key element of that was
because there was no evident Hebrew manuscript of the Book
of Enoch. Does that make sense?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It does.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, that's the one item that they I think they
have that they have that wrong too. I mean, the
you know, the problem you get with a lot of
these folks is that there's a lot of conspiracy assumptions
that are made, and so this is some big conspiracy
to keep this valid, historically accurate book that's fantastical.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Out of the out of the Bible.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And that's where they that's where at least, you know,
she seemed to be coming down.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
But that nobody, I mean, unfortunately, it always makes me laugh. Right,
most people are self aware enough that if you were
to walk up to them and say, okay, give me
your theory, you give me your interpretation on string theory
and explain it. Most people just look at it and go,
I'm not an expert on that. Why would you ask
(09:39):
me that. But if you go up to just the
average you know, swingin Joe and say, well, give me
your theory on scripture and on ancient you know, documents,
they're just happy to wax eloquent on that. Oh well,
you know, I mean, well, you're no more of an
expert on that than you are on theoretical physics or
(09:59):
quantum physics or you know, even high power computing, right,
I mean you just and again, for some weird reason,
most people are self aware enough to go, well, I
don't know, I mean, why would you ask me? But
if you ask them about things like that, things of
his spiritual nature, then they just want to, you know,
just give you their full impression, knowing that they don't
(10:20):
have any real background in it, knowing that they don't
know that the best the thing they can say is, well,
I read a meme on the internet, and so I
believe that, and I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna go,
I'm going to give you a half hour on it.
It's just it's crazy. And so it's just like the
Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary. You know, some
of these gnostic gospels, and people want to take the
(10:42):
same They were written hundreds of years after the events, right.
The four canonical gospels were all written within decades of
the death of Christ and his resurrection, Right, And so
then hundreds of years go by and get these Gnostic Gospels,
and you used to have this conspiracy theory by people
who are like, oh this this was these things were
(11:04):
you know, suppressed by the Church because they tell the
real truth. Well, what right? I mean? So you have
a biography written about someone within a couple decades of
their life by an eyewitness, okay, and you say, okay,
well I've got that. That's probably worth something. And then
three hundred years go by and somebody writes another biography
(11:25):
of this same person using a false name, and you
comparing those two documents, you're saying, well, which one of
these do you think is probably giving the most accurate
representation of the events? That's not a hard question to answer.
And yet, because everybody on earth, for some reason things
they are an expert on these topics, you wind up
with these, really at the end of the day, stupid
(11:47):
conversations about the value of this document that was written
hundreds of years later by someone we don't even know
who they were, right, And so I don't know what
to tell you, but I agree. I obviously I agree
with you completely. And I guess, as you pointed out
last week, the upside to this, the silver lining to
this cloud of people thinking they know what they're talking
about when it comes to ancient Second Temple Jewish documents.
(12:10):
Is that at least people are talking about it right
and to the extent that that gets people more interested
in truth and in faith and in you know, sort
of anchoring yourself to something. That's all good. But to
think that, you know, one congressional representative is likely an
expert on Second Temple Jewish literature, it's just probably not true.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And keep keeping byd This is the woman that Rob
Clark friend of the show Rob Clark calls Air Force
hoti one.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
So you know, every time you say that, I say
to myself, because we're obviously in the midst of recording
this very fine program, is I say to myself, I'm
gonna look this gal up after we get done recording,
so I can see her since she's supposed to be
a smoke show and I've yet to actually do it.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
There you go, I just I just eliminated you there.
Send you some.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, Yeah that's nice. Well, yeah, she's not unattractive. I
don't know that.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Rob Clark listened. So listen.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Today we've got three things to cover and we have
to get through them all right, and I'm gonna give
you these three in no particular order. Right, I'm gonna
give you three categories, and then you're going to decide
where we go first, second, and third. Okay, So we've
got we've got fake babies, we've got turmoil in the
royal family, and we've got escaped monkeys. And these are
(13:34):
all stories that people need.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
If you have a small business in America, you need
to These are all stories that need to be front
and center in your uh, in your radar, on your
radar there, and you need to be cognizant of how
you would deal how you will deal with these issues
when they inevitably come up. So, Brad, where do you
want to start? Fake babies, turmoil in the royal family,
(13:59):
runaway monkeys?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
This is almost like what's that show where you have
to phrase your answer Jeopardy. It's almost like Jeopardy where
I'm picking like a column and this is pre it's
pretty I'm going to go backwards because I think it's
easier to go backwards. I despise the Royal family and
so if we can avoid talking about them, I'm happy
to avoid it. So then it really brings us down
to fake babies and escaped monkeys, and in the past
(14:24):
we have discussed escaped monkeys. We've actually had that discussion
in the past, and my presumption is going to be
that these are different monkeys than the ones we talked about,
you know, two three years ago. But since we've already
done that, and at least in my memory, we have
not talked about fake babies, I'm going to say we
(14:44):
start there, we go to escaped monkeys, and then, by
the grace of God, hope that there's not enough time
left to talk about the freaking royal family. How about that?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Okay, so we'll race through this to get to the
royal family. No, I'm kidding. Uh so, Kira Cousins no
relation to Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
By the way, a young lady in Scotland is being charged.
And listen again, the way I look at all these
things as someone with a legal background, a lawyer, a hallowner,
is I am I assume that people are innocent until
proven guilty, right Like, Oh, Jay had a discussion with
(15:28):
my with my wife the other night about this, and
I look, I still until he's proven guilty.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You know, in the court of law.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think we you know, I think we just you know,
we have to give them presumtion of medicines.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
So this woman, this poor woman who's.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You know, gave birth to a child in Scotland, Scottish child,
Scottish baby.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It's you know, she had.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
She went through the whole thing like on on Facebook,
gender revealed.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Then they did a.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Sonic, shared sonograms and uh uh the bird story gave
the baby and name. The baby was named Bonnie Lee Joyce.
Bonnie Lee Joyce, I guess cousins. Bonnie Lee Joyce cousins.
I suppose you know, I sat next to James Joyce
in an event.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
The other night.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Come on, James Joyce is dead.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I know, that's what I told him.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
What did he say to that?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
He didn't say anything. He just said, I'm here, I'm alive.
Very fascinating, fascinating.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
So yeah, so she gets, you know, gives birth, she
the baby. Daddy is involved and uh he was on
the like the bird sertificate. I suppose she was clearly
showing during her pregnancy. And then a lot of her
friends on social media and air I'm using air quotes
there claimed that the baby wasn't real.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Brad hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Well, what what is the foundation for such a client.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, the baby wasn't real. Ah, she apparently used what's
called a reborn doll. Reborn is the name of the brand.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
The I guess she she was, uh, she was.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
She She wouldn't let people near the baby. No one
heard the baby cry. She wouldn't let people hold the baby.
But I guess with these reborn dolls, you could make
them poor piece. So she changed diapers online and it's
a very realistic looking doll. But then I guess the
mother when she was out, I suppose drinking a couple
(17:44):
of weeks ago, the mother went in to try to comfort.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The baby, and and and turned out to be a
plastic doll.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Brad that she was holding out his Bonnie Lee joice
and and then and then you know, I guess this
differs from OJY in some respects, right, because she did
go on social media and say I'm so sorry. There
is a quote, I'm so sorry. I wasn't pregnant. There
was no baby. I made it all up and kept
(18:13):
it way too far. I faked scans, messages, a whole
bird story and acted like a doll was a real baby.
And I mean, in her defense, I mean, she did
go through a lot of trauma.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I guess with the birth. I guess not because it
was not a real baby, right, so it was no trauma.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
She used a growing prosthetic bump to show that she
was pregnant, She had a lavish gender reveal party where
she got a number of gifts, and then when the
husband baby daddy I guess that's what you call him,
started to smell a rat, she told him that the
baby had passed away. So then you can see on
(18:51):
the link there of the baby. I mean, it looks
it looks somewhat realistic. And and you know what, I
will say this, A lot of people say that she's
a serial liar and a horrible hum being, but she
took care of that doll.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's buzzled them nicely.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah. I mean, you know, I find myself in this
position an alarming percentage of the time we're doing these
podcasts where I just I don't I'm not really sure
what to say. I mean, there are a lot of
questions that are being begged here. My first question is
going to be one that I don't think you expect,
(19:27):
which is, you know, sort of what led to the
discovery of The hoax here is that the mom went
in to comfort the baby, but the baby couldn't have
possibly needed comforting, No, because there's a doll's a doll,
and you know, as far as I know, with the
exception of a few horror movies, dolls don't need anything,
let alone comforting. And so my guess is that the
(19:50):
mom took an opportunity while the mom of the supposed mom,
the grandmom, took the opportunity to go take a little
look see while her daughter was out boozing it up,
not you know, and maybe use the excuse of, oh well,
I thought the maybe needed comforting. And then, you know,
beyond that question of you know, why exactly did grandma
(20:12):
think of doll needed comforting would be what why was
this person who you know is you've sent me an
article here and she is not unattractive, you know, she
doesn't look you know, all weird and wigged out? I mean,
why why did she go through that? This seems like
(20:33):
a terribly complicated, an awkward and uncomfortable thing to do, right, Like,
if I wanted to pretend I had a kid, then
I would start with a pretend adoption. Yeah, not go
through nine months of having to change prostices in order
to make a pregnancy. So was there a reason? Is
(20:55):
she suffered from I mean, obviously she suffers from crazy.
It could be nuts. She's crazy somehow, but I mean,
but she abused as a child.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Oh, I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
This is the article that I looked at, but it
doesn't go into that level of depth. But she did
say as part of her apology because one of the
things I guess that happened, and this is why social
media is toxic.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Just this whole situation is why it's toxic.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
But I guess she was starting to get people who
were jumping on saying how could your idiot friends not
know that this was a doll? And as part of
her apology, she wrote, quote in everyone else's defense, the
doll could move, you could change the facial features, arms
and legs.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
You could feed.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You could feed the doll, making it poor pee. So
when no one is close to the doll, it does
look real. No one was looking at my baby expecting
it to be a doll.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's that's you know, that's what you call cover right
cover to your friends.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, she's trying. I mean, when you and again this
is unfair judgment because I knew it was a doll
going in. But certainly when you look at the pictures
that are in the article you sent me, you look
at that and you go, well, that's a doll, right,
But you know, I mean, you see what you want
to see. We don't see things as they are. We
see things as we are, right, That's important thing to
understand in general. And so you know, I just, yeah,
(22:10):
the whole thing seems super odd, super odd. Buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, it's strange, but you know what, God bless her,
and this will probably teach her to be a good mom.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Well, one would hope when all everybody there's again there's
just a laundry list of questions being begged here. But
what was the boyfriend doing? I mean, baby daddy, he
just he she presents this idea to him and he goes, yeah,
let's do it. That'll be great. What's the benefit of
going through this whole thing?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Well, he didn't know that it was not a He
did not know. He didn't know either, No, he didn't know.
She told him when he got when he started sniffing around,
he told her that the the baby had died. She
told she told him that the baby had died. She
told him that the baby had died.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
So this dude honestly thought, now, I mean sudden, you
know his IQ. But this dude honestly thought that he
had knocked up his girlfriend and that she had given
birth to a live baby. And he thought this the
whole time.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
How did they do?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I mean, why am why? Why am I? Why am
I even asking this? I don't know? But like, what
did she present as the evidence? You did a gender reveal?
So I mean, nominally you have results from a laboratory
that tell you while you know this, this kid has
an excellent.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
WI or she fakes the stands, she faked the scans.
I don't know why it doesn't say work. You know.
Here's an interesting story.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
When I was younger, someone's younger than today, when my
mother was still working. She worked at Dighton Rohobet High School,
which is a juggernaut.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Of a high school in the middle of the Sticks.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And she had a teacher with RhoD in Massachusetts, as
my wife would call Massachusets over in uh, yeah, over
in Dighton reb and uh.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
She had this girl that worked for her who was like.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
An intern, was twenty and she had cancer, and you know,
they did a bunch of benefits for her and all.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Sorts of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And she was relatively you know, handsome young lady. And
my mother would have her over to the house and
they you know, they would just get her a bunch
of stuff and she money and trips and stuff. And uh.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
And I always thought to myself, I saidself, it doesn't
she looks very healthy for a like first of all,
like Tan.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Rested ready. Yeah, it wasn't missing any meals. And I
said this just to to my mother, No, you can turns.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Out the kid.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
This was a big scheme to get people to give money.
And then she took the money and and she'd up
going to jail.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
She's going to jail for that.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You should, Yes, she's absolutely should.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
And plus the bad mojo. The bad mojo is you
know karma there.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
If you're a karma person, you you are begging for
some payback there. See this is it's stuff like that,
But not so much the pregnancy thing, because I'm not
sure anybody got taken for a ride there. I mean,
obviously people got got taken for a conceptual ride, but
I don't know that they were beat out of you know,
money or whatever. It just seems super weird thing to do,
(25:19):
but it's stuff like that, I mean, faking that you
have cancer to effectively steal money and you know, sympathy
and you know all that comes along with it from
good hearted people who just want to do right by you.
Is the reason to bring back pillaring right like you know,
that used to be a sentence if you if you
(25:40):
committed some level of crime, particularly in the UK, you
could be pillaring where they would put you in stocks
out in some public locations toke your head through aboard
and your hands through and then yeah, and then just
peltry with rocks and garbage. That is the perfect punishment
for some one like that. I mean, you know, you
(26:02):
want to limit the size of the rocks. You're not
looking to kill them. It's not a death penalty level offense.
But that is the That is the perfect punishment for
someone who abuses the public trust and people's good nature
for their own just completely selfish benefit. You should be.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Pillar read and they should do that with Schumer. Schumer
is a I.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Mean, they should do it with Schumer for any number
of reasons, among other things. But but I don't want
to go too far field, because we certainly want to
be able to get to the escape monkeys. But can
you can you explain to me? Yes, I read just
a headline that said Trump is trying to get Congress
to do away with the filibuster. And all I know
(26:47):
about philibustering, at least I think I know, is that
philibustering means that you, you know, take your turn at the
front of the Senate and so long as you are talking,
as long as you are holding forth, then the Senate
can't do anything right. So the idea is that by filibustering.
(27:08):
So and I guess there's been some times, you know,
famous in history where you know, folks who've just gone
hours and hours and hours and hours in an attempt
to forestall some vote or other action being taken by
the Senate. And Trump is trying to do way with
the filibuster. Is there more to that than I think?
What's what's going on there?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I think what's happening is he is trying to reopen
the get the government to reopen, because you know, the
government doesn't have many frickin things to do, right, it doesn't,
but one of them is to like you go you have.
You have millions of people who are on food assistance programs,
literally one of the most important things this government does,
and that's all about to go away because the.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
The thing, the benefits expire.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
The government's been shut down for a month, the benefits
expire like in the next day or two, and so.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
All all those social programs that are needed to feed
people are going away.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And the Republicans have voted to basically keep the government open,
and they've got like fifty five votes in the Senate,
including a couple of Democrats, to do it, but you
need sixty. The way the philibuster works is you can't
end debate on a resolution or a bill until you
get sixty votes. And so for then basically Trump's saying
(28:27):
you should change the rules, which they can do with
a majority of Republicans, and you know, just.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Have a straight line.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
So you've explained that, and I appreciate that, But now
I have yet another so and again, I probably most
people have done more research into this than I have,
so I apologize in advance. But what is if all
that is true? You've just said it's true, and I'm
sure it is. The Republicans are trying to reopen the government,
and the Democrats are forestalling that to the point where
(28:56):
you would think somebody that would be just a near
and dear to the heart of your ava leftists, you know,
giving people free stuff. Yeah, and I'm not you know,
I'm not being snied. I mean, you know, if you
if you are incapable of feeding yourself in a country
like the United States, then then we should take care
of that, right. I also believe that we should have
putting you on a path to where that's no longer
true of you. But but no one should be hungry
(29:19):
in a country like the United States. I completely agree
with that. So you're saying the Republicans want to feed
the people and the Democrats don't. And if that's true,
what is the why are the dem I would think
the Democrats would be in a hurry to reopen the government.
They love government, it's all They're all about government.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Well they yeah, they won't.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
They won't vote that the House passed the resolution. They
don't have a filibuster the Senate. You need sixty votes
and the Democrats won't sign on. And what they're what
they're saying is they want to when they created Obamacare
and then when they pass that big COVID Relief Act,
they had these huge subsidies for insurance, for health insurance
that sunset at the end of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
And what the Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Saying is we are now going to agree to fund
the government until the Republicans agree on some health care solution, which.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Has never happened.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I mean, typically if you have a clean continuing it's
bs how they run the government. But typically typically you
just you just have a continuing resolution to fund the government.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I mean, you know, air.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Traffic controllers are not being paid, Maype, You're not flying
anytime soon because that is a nightmare. Now, FBI agents
are not being paid. Across all these agencies, people are
active dut to military. Trump was able to find money
to pay them the last cycle. This cycle, I don't
think it's going to happen. So all these people aren't
getting paid. The social programs that are needed, kids, school
lunches are not getting funded. And it's just total total bs.
(30:40):
And you know who's getting paid. The Congress. Congress is
getting paid. It's demented, it's demented, it's sick. I'm so
tired of it. I'm so tired of it. I'm just
tired of it on both sides. But the Democrats are
particularly at fault this time. But it's just disgusting, vile,
and all these people should be kicked out and they
(31:01):
should be put in stockades, and people should throw big
rocks at the big rocks.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I could not agree more. But they should all be
Pillar Reid, and I just don't. So the Democrats are
taking the position and obviously have to be hoping that
the majority of Americans stand with them in this position
that it is more important to ensure these subsidies than
(31:27):
it is to have a functioning government where critical features
of that government, you know, function fight. Yeah, yeah, like
air traffic controllers, the military, more federal law enforcement. Is
that true? I mean, what is that? Has anybody done
any polling on this?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
It's it's fifty.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's like with everything else, it's fifty to fifty because
you're rooting for your team. It's fifty to fifty. So
everyone thinks they're doing good, and you know what they
should do. They should just they should just get rid
of the filibuster and pass the freaking thing and open
the government.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
They should. It's just it's it's because.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Listen, the Democrats would do the same thing. The filmbuster
has been removed for nominations, it's been removed for Supreme Court,
it's been reproved for lower court.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh so you can remove it like temporarily without doing
away with it forever.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, you can remove, but you do it if you're
in charge in the Senate and you have a majority vote.
If you get fifty one votes, you can change the
rule on the filibuster. That's all you need for that.
It's not like it's in the Constitution or anything.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Why don't they just freaking do that.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
They have been low They just have been loath to
do it because they've viewed as a slippery slope and
it's already happened so many times. I would literally like
that they should get in there today. They should change
the rule and say for purposes of keeping the government
open and simple. But you're still getting a freaking majority,
right vote for the stupid thing. And you know, the
ironic thing on the healthcare thing, Obamacare is a nightmare,
as you and I know from you know, our premium
(32:46):
is going through the roof for no freaking reason.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But Obamacare is a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
But the Republicans have already said they're gonna negotiate with
Democrats on extending those subsidies because most of the people
who get the subsidies are in Republican states and they're
not going to want to take them away. But they're
just saying, keep the government open and then we'll do that.
But it's going to be done by the end of
the year. And that is one hundred percent going to happen.
They're already more than fifty percent of the votes in
both houses to fix to extend that those subsidies out,
(33:15):
so they're going to do that anyway. It's just this
is the dumbest thing, and it's purely purely political, hundred percent.
There's no principle. It's one hundred percent political, and it's
an absolute travesty. And I hope people pay attention and
they vote these people out because.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
It's it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And Trump's right, you know, I know people don't like
Trump and all this stuff, but he's one hundred percent
right to just get rid of the filibuster for this,
open the government up and and you know, fund these
programs that feed people.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
You well, sorry, yeah, yeah, I will, buddy.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I mean, I.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Am as emotionally invested in this as you are, and
not saying something for both of us because we're not
really emotional guys. But I just I'm so sick of
the government. I'm so sick of where we've gotten as
a nation in terms of if Donald Trump came out
and just irrefutably proved that, you know, not even he himself,
(34:16):
but just his administration had found a cure for all
childhood cancers, there would be a significant chunk of people
in this country who would be opposed to that, who
would say, no, if my child has cancer and they
are going to die, and they could live if they
took the Trump administration cure. But I'm not going to
(34:38):
do that because I hate Donald Trump. There would be
people who did that, and that is so dumb and
so ill founded and so childish and so maronic and
every other pejorative adjective that I can think of, And
yet people do that all the time, and it is
ruining the way that we do business, both as a
(34:58):
just as a people, as a cultulture, and as a government.
And it just has to stop. It just has to stop,
or we're going to lose the incredible benefit which again
way too many people in this country don't understand the
value of the United States of America because they've never
had to experience anything else. They've never traveled, they've never
(35:20):
you know, suffered, and so they just take what we
have for granted. You cannot do that. It is not guaranteed,
and it just it really pisses me off.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yep, Let's go to something more pleasant.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Let's go to the monkeys.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
So, then the Tulane University National Biomedical Research Center was
expecting a truck full of research monkeys to arrive there
early this past week. They're coming from somewhere and they
were going through the interstate in Mississippi when there was
(35:55):
a jackknife flip and the the of course, like in
any horrible the turk flips over and the door opens
and all the monkeys escape to the countryside. And then
the sheriff's office immediately notifies the public not to approach
any of the monkeys because they carry hepatitis, c herpes,
and at least COVID.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
And uh so.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
These monkeys were infected on purpose. They have these things
are just in general.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I don't think they have They're not catching hepatitis, sea
herpes and COVID.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
I mean, yeah, they were. They must have been infected, think.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
And they were just shipping them in a truck.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
They were it would appeared to be a aluminum trailer
dot com truck uh and uh the other and of
course the monkeys just just just flee to the into
the Mississippi countryside.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
And they said, well, they were able to kill a
bunch of them, and the Mississippi this.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Is not bad enough that you infected these four monkeys
with three horrific diseases. Now you're just out whacking them
because the lunatic drive of you.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, all right, okay, Yeah, they apparently they warned the
locals to steer clear. They had, they said the Sheriff's
office said that after six hours, all but one of
the monkeys had been shot and killed and those monkeys
were being destroyed air quotes by the Mississippi Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries. But then they were then then the
(37:23):
the the sheriff warned, and I quote, do not approach
the monkey that's left. If you see it, call nine
one one. They pose potential health threats and are very aggressive, probably.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Probably very angry. Well, first of all, you don't want
to approach that monkey because what you already know is
that's the best monkey in the group. Right, That's the
Harrison Ford of of you know, whatever that movie was
that he was the escapee. He's that's the Harrison Ford
of monkeys, right.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I mean, he is just very out house schoolhouse, school
house house and.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Find me that. So you want to stay away from
that monkey, because that's that's the Harrison Forward of monkeys.
It's going to be angry. I mean, here's what, here's
here's what that monkey has gone through. Right, He's just
sitting around doing monkey stuff. And then the next thing
it knows that has hepatitis cee, you know, covid, what
else did you say, herbes, gonorrhea, syphilis. It's just looking
(38:26):
at out through its little bars, going what's next, you bastards?
And then they loaded into a truck which flips over,
and then you're I mean, just imagine that you're sent
for a loop inside of a truck while suffering from
all these diseases. You escape into the woods thinking with itself,
let me just you know, get the hell out of here.
And the next thing you know, all your buddies are
(38:47):
just getting smoked by the sheriff's department, and and you're
the only one left. Let me tell you what, buddy,
You are out for blood. You are out for vengeance.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
So if you're they still don't have them, they still
don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
If you're in Mississippi, you stay away from that monkey,
because that monkey, even as we speak, is smoking a
hand rolled cigarette and looking through a pair of binos
at the sheriff's department where he's planning his revenge. And
just imagine being the sheriff's department, right, I mean Mississippi.
(39:18):
I mean you're sitting around and think, well, you know,
maybe there'll be a lost child, you know, maybe there'll
be a duy. No, you get a call for horribly
infected monkeys loose in your woods, and you got to
deal with that. Yeah, I don't know, but it seems
like if you're gonna do the medical monkey experimentation thing,
(39:39):
you got to do it better. You just got to
do it better than that.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
At least got to You've got to do better at
transporting them.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I mean, I think that's the big thing, right, because
why why, it just doesn't seem to it doesn't make
much sense.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
No, you want a better way to do that. I mean,
first of all, you don't just want you know, Billy
Bob driving the truck. Secondly, you want a truck that if,
for some reason, there's an incident, and you know, obviously
you can't guarantee, no matter how hard you may train
and plan, that there's not going to be some incident.
(40:15):
You want a truck that can survive the incident without
flying open and scattering monkeys broadcast across the state of Mississippi, Right,
I mean, don't you want it seems like there's rules
around that. We got rules around everything. Why is there
not rules around that?
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Do you think the sheriff had fun shooting those monkeys?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
I hope not. I mean I just you know, I
don't love anyone who likes to kill things. That's not
a good sign.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
But but what you were involved, but you were involved
in operations like this? What? What? What?
Speaker 2 (40:48):
What is a discussion like like you're in a room,
you're having your cup of coffee, Hey, she if here,
I hat something.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
I got a project for you today.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
I mean yeah, well, yeah, I mean you're not wrong.
You know, unfortunately there have been times in certain operations
where you know, so there will be lots of you know,
one of the things that bad guys will do is
they'll you know, they'll train certain breeds of dogs up
to just be vicious, which in and of itself is horrible, right,
I mean ruining the animal. But if you're going to
(41:18):
have to take those bad guys down, sometimes you do
have to to shoot the dogs because I mean they
will just tear into you. And so what we always
did was we and there are normally two guys that
are given that the equipment and the role of having
to do that. If it's necessary, you always want more
than one in case some goes sideways. But you identify
(41:41):
the two guys in your group that are the biggest
dog lovers, right, who are going to do everything they
can to deal with those dogs in a more humane
fashion before they shoot them. And so you know, hopefully
in this operation you're saying, well, you know, we'll do
what we can to try and round up the monkeys,
(42:02):
and if we cannot do that, I guess we're gonna
shoot him. And and I you know, and I don't
want to make this like a hunting have tons of
friends who hunt. I think hunting is different. Especially you know,
if you're gonna put the animal to use, you're gonna
eat it, and you know whatever else. I mean, I
don't want to come come across as though, you know,
I'm some sort of anti hunting guy. But if you
(42:22):
if you leave your house on any given day and
you're like, I hope I get to kill something today,
there's something wrong with you. And so my home, yeah
you need my hope, is in the sheriff's department. But
that but that's that that you know, as as a
tactical guy in law enforcement or you know, in the military,
being told you're gonna go in the woods looking for
(42:44):
diseased monkeys and do what you can about that, you're
just looking at your what you know? And then again
they're asking all the questions that you and I have
already asked, Well, why are these monks key's loose? What
do you mean they're full of disease? Who is driving
the truck? Right? Because you know, unfortunately, and all these
(43:09):
jobs are voluntary. I don't make it sound that these
guys are put in a bad position. But when you're
in that job, and as you said, I had that
job for years, you're always the last line of defense, right,
so you always get stuck with these shit shows, they
always fall down to you, and you're the one looking
around going, this is my problem. I wasn't driving the truck.
I didn't infect the monkeys. How is this my problem?
(43:30):
That's your problem, because this is your job, dude. All right, well,
you know, I guess I'll go do it. But yeah,
I mean that's not when you you know, when you
put on your uniform that morning, you're not thinking to yourself, boy,
you know it's going to be one of those disease
monkey days.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah, so it's hard to hard to imagicipate that.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Well, Brad, when you have a couple of minutes left,
why don't we go to the royal family in turmoil?
As you know, Prince Andrew. I'm sorry, that's a mistakes.
They've already made a mistake here, just misster at this point.
But it's Andrew Montbotton Windsor. He's just for having that name,
Andrew mut Winter. He has been stripped of his royal
(44:14):
title of prince. He's been removed the style titles and
honors honors. I like the way their press release just
ends with the word ends.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
Well that's how you know, it just ends.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Yeah, So it's you know, but what's interesting about this
is that they this week they strip him of the title.
The two the other two, who I think is this
is Harry still Prince Harry? Or is he Harry Momboton?
Speaker 3 (44:46):
As far as I know, he's still print.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
They went to a dodger you know, they went.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
To the dodger gate, so disgusting, sitting in the front row, disgusting,
better seats than Sandy Kofax who's sitting on the street.
Seats behind me, just your vile, horrific. You could put
them in the stockade. Too pillary then, But this one Harry,
I guess so all that now that he's lost his title,
he's lost all his protection. All these stories are coming out,
(45:14):
and so I guess. In two thousand and one he
was named the Special Trade Envoid of Thailand and made
a trip to Thailand, and according to this book that's
out now, he had forty prostitutes brought to his room
in his four day trip during the This is what
(45:36):
the UK taxpayers are paying for forty four zero forty
according to the Royal historian.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
Tenaday. You some of these days are travel days too,
so it could be more. I don't know, what is it?
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah, you know, and then he's still going to go.
They're going to move him into another funded some mansion.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
Yeah, I mean, buddy. And again, so here's to me
the most just incredible with the original definition of that word,
just the credulity is not there, right, is the idea
that all this stuff happened twenty five years ago or
(46:22):
more right, and they're just now the Royal family of
Great Britain is just now getting around to saying maybe
we should strip this guy of his titles and privilege
and whatnot, all of which has been covered by you know,
the taxpayers of the UK because he's just the pinnacle
(46:44):
of douche baggery. And yet is you know, parading himself
around as a prince. What the I mean? Stop it?
I sincerely hope and again I like it because I
just think they seem like truly good people. I like
Prince William, I like his wife is her name Kate?
(47:05):
I like those I like those two people. They seem
to be raising their kids decently, they seem to care
about people, they seem to be engaged in real issues,
and so I like them. So having said that, in fairness,
I sincerely hope that this is the last generation of
quote unquote royals that we ever have to deal with.
(47:29):
And if you're if you're on the fence about that,
I encourage you, as David's already pointed out, to just
go back and rewind the Dodger game and look.
Speaker 6 (47:36):
At those two smug, gross a holes, as you say,
blocking my view of Sandy Kofax while they're standing up
that they couldn't tell you anything about the game of baseball,
who's playing.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
They're just there for the publicity. I can't stand them.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
And so I hope that they're freaking brand knew Dodger
hats on the tag still hanging off the backs.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Just it's unconscionable and they should the Great Britain should
rid themselves of that plague and stop pretending like these
people matter again with the exception of Prince William and
I guess she's a princess Kate, they who seem again
like very nice people. Charles La Douche, Camilla Douche, Harry Douche,
(48:26):
Markle Douche, and Andrew unbelievable. He should be in jail. Douche.
I hope they just get rid of all of those
people and just dust off their hands and move forward,
because they're already losing their country to Islamic extremism, and
(48:47):
so the Royals are just icing on that cake. So
get rid of them. We've told you what to do.
We've gone beyond the call of duty here on this
very fine program. We've not only called it out, we've
given you instruction. If you're a great Britain, get rid
of the Royals. The rest of us are waiting, The
world is watching, and we'll be back next week to
(49:07):
see if you did it right here on IP frequently.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
You're welcome.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
