Okay, my friends.
Happy rainy, rainy Thursday here in New York Shetty.
We're in the shitty.
It's shitty in the shitty.
I want to discuss something with you, first of all, because some of you may be new at this.
And in today's daily briefing, I want to provide you with some information of what you need to know.
That's what I want to do.
I'm your teacher.
I'm your captain.
I think Grant Funk, I think Mark Farner said it best.
I'm your captain.
Everybody listen to me.
Anyway, how many of you would be described as a conspiracist of sorts?
Put your own words.
Oh, there's Laurie Partridge, everybody.
By the way, Laurie Partridge has been with us since day one.
Laurie's favorite hobbies are watching Russian automobile dash cam crashes.
Junebug.
Remember Junebug, honey?
Oh my God.
Junebug has been there since us.
We've got Eric as Puff the Magic Dragon.
I don't know how you got that name.
Just want to say, Christo Stavro.
You know him, you love him, the honey man.
Are you, how many are new to this?
Let's just call it what, we're called conspiracy theorists.
That's what we, that's what they call us.
I don't know.
I don't know why, but that's fine.
I don't care.
Do you...
Are you new at this?
Because it's important for you.
You might be brandy.
You might say, you know, I kind of like this.
I decided to, you know, put me in this.
Kimmy Cliff.
Oh, here's Kimmy.
Kimmy's...
Kimmy goes way back.
Ever since that thing that happened, which we're not going to bring up anymore.
Eric Thaddeus Walker at ETW from Roma.
Eric, we've been...
Remember Eric?
Eric has been with us.
Eric, you remember when you were when Italy was first starting to close down and you were giving us the heads up like, oh my god.
Brian's been there.
Jose Torres, not the boxer.
He's there.
Kathy Borski?
Kathy Borski?
Yeah, Tootski?
Brewski?
Borski?
See the connection?
I think so.
How many people?
Chili con karma.
I like that.
Let me explain to you what happens.
We are freaks, kooks, strange people.
Nobody tells us what to do and nobody even remotely can figure us out.
They don't know what we are.
First and foremost, first and foremost, we are...
Patriots of sorts.
We are patriots.
I don't mean you have to be an American patriot.
We have this thing called liberty.
When Eric, for example, was in Roma, that's where my Italians call it.
See, they don't say Rome.
See, they say Roma.
Not to be confused with the gypsies.
They're called Roma or Zingaro.
Zingaro.
Do you ever have that thing, brazoitano, that Spanish-Cuban pastry, gypsy arm?
Anyway.
But he recognizes this.
He's kind of an expat, so to speak, but we all have this sense of liberty.
No matter where it is.
I don't care if you're friends.
It doesn't matter.
What they do to you, they do to us.
We are good globalists.
We are good globalists.
We are people that work for the idea of the perpetuation of the human species, the human spirit.
Now what's happening right now is, and I'm noticing this, when it comes to, and I just did a piece right now, a brand new drop for the Lionel Nation channel.
Actually, Lionel Media.
And it's how to read Russia.
And there's a story, and I'm going to give you just kind of a brief little, kind of a review of this, just to maybe let you understand kind of, sort of, what's happening here.
First and foremost, there are some people I know who are pulling for Putin.
They're not Russian.
They're not.
They just think that's what you do.
There are other people who hate the West.
Hate them.
Some who hate NATO.
Some who hate the United States.
Some who hate, and it goes through that.
They're in it, not because they have any kind of affinity towards Russia, but they just hate the West.
Hate them.
And so they want to see Putin, and some might be just, don't be like that.
Let me tell you the official position I have.
Number one.
Pacifist.
Citizen of the world.
I know that sounds corny.
Looking for my little globe.
I know it sounds corny, but it's not.
Oh, here we are.
The other day we had a...
I said, I got this at a Dollar Tree.
Ooh, Dollar Tree!
Ooh!
I said, have you ever been to one?
These are the best.
Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, Dollar General, Dollar This, Five Below.
I love that stuff.
Because those are just regular folks.
Those are just good people.
I know it sounds corny, but it's true.
In any event, I don't like war.
I don't like bullies.
I don't like people doing, frankly, I know you're not going to like this, I don't like people doing what the United States has done repeatedly.
I don't like people saying, we're going to go in there because we're bigger than you, we're better than you, and we don't need any excuse.
We're going to take what we want and F you and the horse you rode in on.
F you and rotate.
That's it.
Because we're the United States.
And if we do something like George W. Bush, did you see him in this new gaffe when you talk about Iraq?
Freudian slip?
I don't think so.
Putin is a guy, you've got to understand, let me see if I can explain something to you.
Let me see if I can explain something to you.
And this is important.
I think Brian and Reggie and Tony and Eric and Lee and Lizzie, everybody understands.
There's Al Sanchez.
Weird Al.
You know him, you love him.
Jay Dixon Brown.
Sounds like a...
Jay Dixon Brown.
Sounds like a weird folk singer, doesn't it?
Jay Dixon Brown and the Romanias on poverty recording, they're going to sing our song, Same Room in the Lifeboat for Me.
Jay Bird?
When Putin came along in 2000, he told his Russian folks, I am going to get your respect back.
They are going to respect us.
And I enjoy people being proud of who they are.
Did you ever hear Mrs. L is a Jersey girl?
She was talking to somebody earlier.
She was like, I'm a Jersey girl.
I'm a Jersey girl too.
And it meant something.
It meant something.
It's a connection to who you are.
I'm from Florida.
I'm a cracker.
I'm a redneck from Florida.
I can't help it.
I'm a native New Yorker born elsewhere.
But that was pooping.
Putin came along and he said that.
And I know what that's like because Ronald Reagan did this to us after Jimmy Carter.
Ronald Reagan did that.
Ronald Reagan said the shiny city on the hill and all this kind of stuff and we believed in that.
And that's good for Reagan.
Good for him.
That's exactly what he did.
That's exactly what he said.
And the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, 11 time zones.
And a dear, dear, dear friend of mine, who is Russian, said to me, imagine what it was like in the 20th century, 1917 and 1991, and it was also a civil war, but 1917, the revolution, 1991, the fall of the Soviet Union.
And the Soviet Union was Russia.
I don't care what anybody says.
You think Lithuania?
No, it was all...
It was just humiliating.
Overnight, it's gone.
And what happened before that was NATO was Kennan, the great George Mearsheimer and others said that NATO was put in power as a breach, as a buffer, as a protector, as a guide, as something to watch the Soviet Union.
And this containment was the Soviet Union.
But the Soviet Union disappeared.
And NATO didn't.
It didn't.
And they never forgot that.
And from that moment, Gorbachev, when they told Gorbachev, they told him, we have this, we double-crossed him, we've...
Got it in writing.
When they said, we want you to reunify Germany, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.
Okay.
But, they said, we will not move one foot east.
NATO will not move!
You will not have NATO on your borders.
I'm telling you, we promise you.
Okay, and we lied.
Lied, lied, lied.
And they never forgot that.
Now, a lot of people here say, doesn't really matter.
Doesn't matter.
It does matter.
This is their mindset.
This is the way they think.
You have to understand this.
We were listening the other day to, oh I was, by the BTK, this guy Rader.
And Dennis Rader is a serial killer and the way they got to him was he had this grandiose, he was smarter than everybody else.
I'm not saying Putin's a serial killer, but your enemy, your enemy, whether it's Ho Chi Minh, whether it's if you're trying to get bedbugs, if you're trying to hunt, if you're trying to fish, what's the bait?
How do they think?
Are they nocturnal?
You have to understand what people think.
And what's happening right now is there's a lot of stuff going on, and I'm telling you, and I just did a spot on this, and you've got different schools of thought.
Wonderful observations.
None of it's on cable news.
None of it!
You've got one group of people who basically love everything that Putin does.
Everything that Russia does is great.
Everything the West does is bad.
Everything the West does is stupid.
Putin is a genius.
Everything he does is diabolical.
He surrounds things.
They call it cauldroning.
See, Russians don't go in and, you know, scorched earth kind of stuff.
No, no, they cauldron.
They surround.
This is what they do.
This is Russia.
Okay, fine.
And this is what they say.
They say this all the time.
That's their thing.
Well, he sure as hell been Cauldroning for a long time.
Yes!
That's the genius.
That's the genius.
Now recently, Scott Ritter, another very good one, said, you know, we've got to be careful.
And I like that.
Tell me the truth.
I'm not a cheerleader.
I'm not pro-Putin.
Tell me the truth.
The amount of monies that have been allocated heretofore for Ukraine Theoretically, who provided nobody skimming this thing, is more than the entire budget, the entire military, the entire defense budget of Russia.
Now that means something.
They're talking about, there's a lot of weapons going in there, and they've got until maybe August to train these folks how to do it?
Is the West going to go in?
This may be taking too long.
They've got Donbass, they've got Crimea, they've got, you know, Mariupol, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, what does he want?
What does he want?
What's going on here?
That's more time for the Western momentum to increase?
More time for more weapons in there?
Is he taking too long?
A lot of hardliners in Russia are saying, come on, let's go!
You're being too cautious.
You're being too cautious.
And then they talk about, well, you know, Not that Putin's sick, but his mentality.
He's from St. Petersburg.
He's more European than the rest.
I don't know if he understands the mindset, but he's got some hardliners who want to go in there and say, you don't do this half-assed.
They're going to be studying this war.
And he's got middle-of-the-road folks.
And of course you've got the Institute for the Study of War, Jack Keane, the...
Kagan Newland School that they're just destroying him.
And he's got cancer.
And he's got blotches.
And he's crazy.
And Fiona, what's your face?
And he smells like rose water.
I don't know what the hell they're talking about.
So you've got these.
And here's what I want to tell you.
This is what I want you to learn.
Listen carefully.
You have a blank slate.
All you want is the facts.
Tell me what the facts are.
I don't care.
If they're winning, they're winning.
If they're not, they're not.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me what happened.
Tell me.
What is going on here?
Tell me what the experts say.
Tell me what people think.
Let me talk to more military folks.
I don't know.
We know more about North Korea than we do what people are thinking in Russia.
What did the citizens say?
What do the military folks say?
What does a Russian soldier say?
Look, you may not recall this, but when we were in Vietnam, we were four American soldiers doing their job and kissing.
We didn't know about My Lai.
We didn't know about any of this stuff.
Come on, we didn't know anything about this, Jess.
So what I'm trying to tell you, And I just did a brand new...
I spent some time on this.
And I'm going to do it again.
I want you to focus on how to think about this.
Right now, I am not in the position, from what I'm seeing, I've got real serious questions.
I've got to investigate more as to what's happening, the focus, the goal, the end run.
And it's not so much that...
It's not so much that this is taking longer than usual because...
The Russians said, and Putin said, and others, we're not going to go into Kiev.
It's a meat grinder.
We're not going to go into a city.
Why?
And you're not getting the whole story.
Mariupol is nothing like they say.
And these Ukrainian soldiers, was it the SUB and all these SBU?
These are not.
And yes, yes, there are indeed NAZI factions.
Get around your machine graders, you know, machine viewers.
They are neo-NAZIs in there.
So, that's that.
Oh, yes.
Oh, there is no Super Chat because we do not allow that here.
YouTube has seen fit to demonetize this.
For reasons that I have never, ever been told.
There is a system of, quote, review, which they don't...
The first one they said, it reads something like this.
Let me read this to you.
It says, oh...
One time, you reapplied for reapplication.
We will review your channel and email you with a decision, typically within a month.
The first time they did this within a month after they demonetized it was about a year and a half.
A year and a half.
Why?
Don't know.
They don't tell you that.
So, reapplied again.
So until that happens again, that's why there's no Super Chat.
I thank you for that.
But if you want to support my efforts and support this, it's lionelmedia.com.
This is where I do over an hour a day of analysis.
Less than 30 cents a day.
Sorry.
It's a hell of a deal.
Anyway.
Now I want to talk about something else, which is very important.
I want you to understand this.
And I think you know this.
Oh, by the way, one last word on Putin.
The reason why they hate Putin goes back to Cold War fetishes and predilections and all this other.
I mean, they just, they can't stand him and they don't know why.
It goes back to whatever.
Plus, Putin's scary and people remember this from the days of Boris Badenov.
Remember Bullwinkle in I Destroy You?
Anyway.
No, that was...
Drago.
That was from Rocky.
We will destroy you also was Khrushchev banging his shoe.
That was a good one.
That was also a very good one.
In any event, new topic here.
There is a talk right now about red flags.
Red flags is a new program.
Not a new program, but it's something that's going to be going around which will basically provide for people's ability to possess firearms.
To be rescinded their constitutional right to possess firearms under the Second Amendment and the Heller decision because of accusations of mental health problems.
Now, a friend of mine who was a judge told me that he is in favor of this because he did a series of these petitions where somebody was very, very Dangerously, dangerously mentally impaired.
At least for the time being, they took guns away, and according to him, they were returned.
Okay, that sounds good, doesn't it?
If somebody is mentally ill, hearing voices, hearing really seriously schizophrenic, I don't think anybody's going to argue that Probably be a good idea to make sure they don't have any sharp objects, weapons, things like that.
Don't you agree?
Doesn't make sense?
Be hard-pressed to say, no, no, let him have it.
No, this guy, he thinks he's being attacked by the Klingons and he's going to shoot people.
No, no, no, he has a right to...
There's nothing in the Constitution that says crazy people can't have a weapon.
Okay, okay.
But here's what they're going to do.
They're going to take it a step further.
They're going to take it a step further and they're going to be taking, for example, if you were depressed, If you've been diagnosed as oppressed, if you're under psychiatric medication, might be a mild depression, some SSRI, maybe postpartum depression, maybe you have PTSD.
Maybe you serve this country and as a result, remember, PTSD is a natural reaction to an unnatural situation.
So they want to take your guns away.
Maybe you have a DUI.
Take your guns away.
Because that's a mental illness.
You have a substance abuse problem.
A DUI.
They're going to use the red flag provision as a way of Breaking the door down.
That's what they do.
Slippery slope?
You betcha.
That's what you've got to know.
Be very, very careful.
Now, I want to give you this final little bit right here.
And this is very, very important.
I hope you're following my Twitter feed, at Lionel Media.
It's very, very good.
And there's one thing in particular I want to show you, which is really important.
Really, really, really critical.
A couple of things here.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Oh, here we go.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
This is from...
Here, let me do this.
I'm going to put a copy of this tweet.
This is from Revolver.
It's an excellent piece.
Here is a copy of this for you.
Please.
Click that on.
And it deals with Nina.
Just read that piece.
It's very interesting.
This is how bad she was.
This is the mistress of truth, the disinformation, Zarina.
For her to be pulled from the job, and they're finding more and more videos where she was absolutely lunatic.
There's a word.
It starts with bat.
And I don't know if they knew this.
They had to have known this.
But they just said, you know what?
We're pulling the plug on her.
But read the background of these disinformation movements in the past.
Very, very, very, very critical.
And I want to tell you something else, Stuart.
There's some such great stuff.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the final one.
Because LionelMedia.com, that's frankly where I am and that's where you should go.
There is, and you're going to love this, Jen Psaki is going to be the biggest disaster ever to hit MSDNC anybody has ever seen.
Let me say this again.
Peppermint Psaki is going to suck.
Gravitationally.
She is nothing.
She is boring.
She is dry.
She makes Arie Fleischer look like Rip Taylor.
The only reason she was interesting was because of who she was.
It was her title.
Where does this come from?
Just like Prince Harry.
Another ginger.
Harry was only popular.
Was only important because of the fact that he was a royal.
He marries that termagant, that harridan, Megan, and all of a sudden he loses his title and he's nothing.
Spotify deal, the Netflix, nobody wants him.
There's nothing there.
Nothing.
He's nothing.
The only thing that made him who he was, they took away from him.
It didn't convert.
Jen Psaki, she's out of there.
There's nothing to...
Who wants to hear her say anything?
She's flat.
She doesn't emote.
She's boring as hell.
Boring.
Monumentally boring.
And there's this other thing too.
There was something I saw.
I forget where it was.
They said Russian state media says that this new...
I can't know her name.
Karine Jean-Pierre Jean-Claude Jean Valjean whatever her name is.
She said something to the effect of, the only reason she's there is because she's black and gay.
She said something to the effect of, What was that?
I mean...
What do you think?
No, I'm just...
Is she there because of her genius?
No.
Is she there because of her talent?
No.
Is she there because of her loquacity?
No.
Is she there because of her panache?
No.
Is she there because of her...
Did you see her when she was going through the book?
Remember, they all go through the book.
Kaylee Mackinan.
She did this for a while.
Then Jen did it.
And then you just answer the question.
This one was answering something.
Peter Doocy said, yeah, can you tell me why does the president, Peter Doocy, why does the president think that raising taxes is going to help inflation?
So, Corrine Robert, Jean, Jean Valjean, Jean-Michel Valjean, Dufourchon, whatever her name, she says, well, because the president believes that people should pay their fair share and that millionaires should, and Ducey said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I saw what I'm saying.
I'm saying, no, no, you're reading a different answer.
I'm asking, why is this happening?
Because of the fact that, she said, and she's going through her book.
I don't understand this.
I don't understand.
I mean, she never answered the question.
So why do they want her?
Maybe because she is incompetent.
Maybe because she is a...
But the reason why she's black and gay, or LGBTQ, by the way, they keep saying she's LGBT.
No, she's not trans.
What do you call her LGBT?
She's not T. Lesbian, gay, there's no heterosexual.
LGBT, bi, man, man, man.
But there's no T. They keep saying she's a T. There's no T in there.
I don't know what she's talking about.
But in any event, make a long story very, very short, they kept saying it every five minutes.
Why would it happen?
Why would it happen?
That's it.
My friends, I wish you a great and a glorious day.
To Junebug and Al's there.
Look at this.
Mark Lewis, Eric Powell, Puff the Magic Dragon, Christos Savrou, Eric.
The whole crowd is here.
God bless.
Oh!
July 16. This is for Christos.
July.
Cutting room.
July.
July.
Let me show you right now.
Hang on a second.
Oh, it's going to be a good one.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Here we go.
Let me put this right up for you.
It's going to be something.
And for the first time, normally I've done different things.
For the first time, it's going to be more interactive.
Q&A.
Think lecture.
Interactive.
That's the best thing.
Audience participation, interactive Q&A, pass out questions.
We're going to party like it's 1999, which makes no sense whatsoever.
Don't forget Linz Warriors.

We'll be back tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel.
