I see you.
I see what you're doing.
Especially the occasional newbies.
We kind of straggle on in here.
Let me see what this is about.
What is this guy?
Is he the usual guy?
Does he call me guys?
Does he say, hey guys?
Nope.
It's a little bit different.
Just a tad different.
By the way, I want to make sure my hat is tilted correctly.
Do you ever notice this?
How old men sometimes wear their hats like this.
Do you ever notice that in the old days?
Like, here's Grandpa.
He was in the Navy.
They always wore it.
This was a cool look.
Remember that?
Or you have it kind of like the Gomer Pyle look.
And then there was this bent kind of...
I prefer just a kind of a balanced look.
I think hats and caps are very, very...
This is, by the way, the official Lionel Nation cap, which, of course, you can get merchandise and the like to let the world know.
Oh, I forgot my mug.
Could you get my mug, darling?
Anyway...
I want to say hello to you.
Welcome, welcome, welcome all of my dear, dear friends.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
Have some crumb cake.
Have a seat.
Sit down.
Oh, there we go.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
This is the official mug.
This is a monster, by the way.
This is a monster.
This thing weighs a ton.
You could put koi.
You could grow algae.
It's incredible.
All available.
And I've got to say this right off the bat.
Please, you've got to like and subscribe.
I guess you've already subscribed or notified.
But later on, if you're seeing this for some particular reason, please do this.
Today, my friends, I want you to explain what I do.
I give you what I believe is a watered-down, social media, politically correct version of the truth, completely devoid of anything that will get you sidelined.
Which I can't figure out anyway.
Demonetized.
Band shadow.
Oh, we're so shadow banned.
It's not even remotely, remotely funny.
It's just incredible.
So, we're going to be talking about some things.
I just finished a series of videos on my regular Lionel Media.
Account, which is, very frankly, this is where anything goes.
And it's so sad to say that, but it's true.
Anything goes.
And I just finished, I think, three incredibly important issues, which I'm going to give you now in kind of a sort of a watered-down version.
But you'll understand the I think you'll understand the basis of this.
I think you'll understand what I'm trying to say to you.
I think you'll get it.
But we always have to be careful.
First, I want to talk about the Alex Jones case in ways that nobody is even remotely discussing.
And it's so fascinating.
But you're never going to hear it.
You're not going to hear it from anybody because I don't think, very frankly, they understand the issues that are involved.
I don't think they know what that means.
Remember when the movie China Syndrome, where they asked Jack Lemmon, what does this mean?
He goes, what does this mean?
What does this...
If this dial, if this meter reaches here, we have implosion, we have meltdown.
That's what you don't have.
That's number one.
Alex Jones.
Number two, the Brittany Griner story, which makes me sick.
I have no beef with Brittany Griner.
Why are we so interested in Brittany Griner?
I don't understand this.
Just tell me.
She has now been elevated through some kind of weird apotheosis into some level of...
She's become the George Floyd.
Remember George Floyd?
All of a sudden, he became not only just the victim of police abuse or brutality or excessive force, but he became a god!
With murals, with angel wings, and he...
Through this apotheosis, the canonization, the beatification, this elevation, this Promethean rebirth, and his life was absolutely nothing, even remotely indicative of heroic.
But, all of a sudden, we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about monkeypox and how nobody is saying, hello, you're not going to be getting this from droplets.
You're not going to be getting this.
Are you listening to what is causing this?
Are you listening to what's happening?
Are you?
Are you even paying attention to this?
I don't know.
It is specifically regarding certain forms of Certain sexual behavior involving certain aspects of our human dynamics, and there are certain behaviors and lifestyles that we're talking about.
But now we're talking about other aspects, and I am going to be the most...
I have...
I just did one of the most thorough, really...
Down and dirty explanations of what this is about.
But I don't think anybody here on social media really want to talk about that.
Or if you do, you're not going to be around for long.
Because you've really got to go into this.
And I go into this juxtaposition of AIDS, of the 80s, what it means, and how.
But the ultimate end run is.
What's the goal?
Talk about that.
Well, in some respects.
And then, China.
What's happening with Taiwan?
The United States of distraction.
You have no earthly idea what is happening.
Dear God.
Dear God.
I've never seen anything like what is happening.
And you have no idea.
China is just...
I mean, they are just targeting...
Excuse me, Taiwan.
It's unreal.
And we're like this.
I'm telling you now, Wion, W-I-O-N, is, blows everybody away.
You can't even get near.
Palki Sharma, Palkisha Upadhyay, who was the anchor of Gravitas, It's superb.
You're not going to learn anything in these United States.
Let me try to tell you this.
The people who run the stations and the networks are morons.
Hanging on by a thread.
Praying to God they can just make it one more year before they pull the plug.
And I'm also going to say something You can see this on my Twitter.
You don't know what's happening regarding what Zaslav is doing.
He's like China firing missiles over the media.
Streaming, Netflix, all this.
It's dead.
It's done.
It's finished.
They don't know where the money went.
It's over.
The other day when they canceled Batgirl, you think...
No, no, no, no.
What they're saying is, excuse me, we're not going to do this anymore.
We'll eat the laws.
We're not going to give millions, hundreds of millions of dollars to Meghan Markle anymore.
For nothing.
We're not going to give it to the Obamas.
We're not going to do this anymore.
We're going to be streamlined.
Lean, mean, fighting machine.
We're going to be, go back to tradition and heritage.
And there is so much.
And believe me when I'm telling you this.
Believe me.
I'm not going to ever talk about something which I think is like, short of, Powerful.
Short of important.
Short of critical.
This is critical what I'm saying.
This is critical.
But let me stop for one second.
I don't want to mention our dear sponsor.
PrepareWithLionel.com Tattoo it to your forehead.
Write it on the wall.
Prick your finger and write it in blood on the wall.
PrepareWithLionel.com My dear friend.
The entire world.
The world.
Right now.
It's suffering shortages.
Three things.
Remember, the troika, the tria, the triumvirate, the trio.
Food, water, energy.
Food.
Supply chain or chine, supply chain breakdowns continue to have what is in effect a domino effect on everything, especially food production.
Farmers are screaming.
Remember yesterday?
We just gave you the news story.
They're asking farmers now to use electric tractors.
ESG.
Non-nitrogen fertilizers.
I know you're following this, but the rest of the world does it.
They're thinking this is...
I don't know what they think.
And the shadow government is telling you, this is what we're doing.
And when...
We're going to be running out of the food we're eating now.
There's an incremental part.
Food takes time to grow, as you know this.
So when farmers don't plant, for a variety of reasons, when they can't, we don't eat.
And then the panic sets in.
And when the panic sets in, it's another story.
Do you think the world ran, when gas was $6 or whatever it was, do you think there was no gasoline left?
No!
No!
There's futures markets, commodities, it's speculation, and it's all run by panic.
That's why you have to, dear God, prepare now, prepare with Lionel.
I can't say this enough.
This is not an exaggeration.

I never thought about this.
2,000 calories a day.
You cannot do this on your own.
No matter how much you think, no matter how much you've, well, I've got a freezer and I'm not trying to mock you.
We're not talking about that.
We're talking emergency food that can be reused and that is divergent enough and diverse enough and is a variety enough to not make you go stir crazy mad when everything shuts down.
Because it shuts down like that.
And there's no warning.
And one shutdown, one store, leads to others freaking out.

Let's talk about Brittany Griner.
Who is Brittany Griner?
What exactly is she?
Well, she's a 6 '9", WMBA former, I guess.
She was playing for some team.
She's loads of tattoos.
She's very large.
She's very...
I guess she's a good athlete.
I don't know anything about her.
I don't know.
But she decides to go to Russia for whatever and she has a vape.
She has a hashish or cannabis, some kind of cartridge or whatever.
And they have rules against that.
They have rules that just say you can't do that.
Can't do that.
Got her.
They never planted anything on her.
I don't think anybody really cares about her.
She wasn't making a political statement.
Can't do that.
Can't do that.
I don't have any...
I don't particularly care for international travel.
I don't particularly like travel.
In fact, I hate travel.
I hate airport.
I hate, I hate...
If only I could just go like this, and just be there, I would love it.
Come back.
And sleep in my bed.
Go back the next day.
I hate that.
But one thing I've done and I will do is I'll ask questions.
What is the rule in your country if I were to bring medication that I had here?
There were some rules that said if you take the medication out of a bottle or a bottle as they say and you have one of those seven day Pill travel kits, you know, those things.
In some jurisdictions, in some places, that is considered to be a violation of the law.
Where is that container?
You're going to have the name and the doctor we can call and all this stuff.
I even checked that.
Because I saw Midnight Express.
I ain't going to go there and have somebody some acid reflux medication or something and whatever the hell, somebody says, well, that's it.
You're violating our law.
This is a controlled substance.
Now, why can't I do that?
Oh, I don't know.
Why?
Because I'm a genius?
No.
Do I think those laws are stupid?
Yes.
Do I think I'm superior as an American?
So there's info.
Of course.
What does that mean?
It doesn't matter.
Brittany Griner thought, I don't know.
Maybe she needs it for her anxiety.
I don't know the first thing about her.
By the way, do you know in 2015 she was charged with some kind of domestic battery, domestic abuse, domestic something or other with her, I think her then wife at the time.
Did you see that one?
Now what does that mean?
I don't know.
Nothing really.
But let me ask you this.
If it was a man and some NFL player did the same thing, well, it might be a little different.
But that's beside the point.
So all of a sudden, Brittany Griner is the George Floyd.
She is the heart, the soul, the embodiment of all that is American.
And we must drop to our knees and thank our friend.
I want to bring to your attention the following story.
And I want you to be aware of this, and I want you to think about this, and I want you to listen very, very carefully.
It's a very simple story.
Very simple story.
But a woman, her name is Sarah Krivanick.
She's in Correctional Colony No. 1. Sarah Krivanick, also known as Sarah Ray Burns and Sarah Duncan, is a 46-year-old teacher and mother from Colorado.
Who has been behind bars since last year.
When she was arrested for assaulting her abusive, drunk, Russian boyfriend, Mikhail Karovayev.
He had beaten her up in a drunken rage.
She retaliated by cutting him in the nose.
Either a nostril, kind of like a Chinatown Roman Polanski thing, or whatever.
Russian media states that she tried to slice it off, but she insists it was nothing but a scratch.
The boyfriend has tried to retract his police claim, but Sarah remains incarcerated.
Her friends are now pleading, pleading for the White House to take notice in her case, which remains unresolved and noticed.
Sarah Krivanik, Sarah Rae Burns, is a white 46-year-old teacher from Colorado.
I think she divorced, moved there with her husband.
No, excuse me.
Divorced her husband, moved there with her boyfriend, and she taught, later on, she taught English at this.
Okay, why is this important?
The reason why this is important is she will get no attention whatsoever.
Why?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Don't you think it's important?
I think it's important.
This is a woman, and by the way, you can see these pictures where she, this Sarah Krovanic, where she's beaten up.
You can see her eyes.
She's domestic violence.
Now, they have laws.
That's the thing.
Russia, I don't know how to argue about their laws.
I have enough problem with the laws in this country.
Which weird, January 6th, oh my god.
Nobody was going to overthrow the country on January 6th.
Nobody was armed, except the dude who shot Ashley Babbitt.
Nobody had guns.
This was not a revolution.
This was not an insurrection.
This was not anything.
It was stupid.
It was a trespass.
It may have been seditious conspiracy in some particular cases regarding those people who were actively involved in trying to interrupt an aspect of government, namely the vote.
Allende and Pinochet?
No.
This is not some junta.
They're going crazy.
Crazy over that.
Liz Cheney in this Hail Mary last ditch effort for something.
Oh, she's going nuts over that.
So it's weird.
We're in this country.
This is our law.
This isn't our law.
We have some laws.
You can go and you can tear down a building.
Remember Officer...
What was his name?
Dorr?
Remember that young...
Dorr, excuse me.
Remember him?
Oh, yeah.
You can go in and you can set businesses ablaze under the rubric of Black Lives Matter.
That's okay.
But, if you're a member of the Proud Boys or whatever these people are, you will have the entire full force, weight and credit of the United States government on you.
We saw billboards on the highways.
If you knew anything about January 6th, if you were there, anything about missing kids?
Anything about...
How many kids a day?
2,300?
2,300 kids a day are missing.
Does your federal government care about that?
No.
Your federal government that hates guns?
Oh my God.
They want to get rid of that Second Amendment so fast, it's not even funny.
They cannot.
Wait!
Because of your horrible...
Assault weapons.
Oh my God.
So here's the kicker.
They want her back so bad.
Brittany Griner.
And they're going to walk her through the...
You watch through that White House.
Oh, she's going to meet with President Biden.
He's going through what?
His sixth bout with COVID keeps getting reinfected because they're setting him...
He's on the way out.
Notice how they're doing that?
Well, he's just doing...
He's still positive.
I don't understand this.
They are sending him out.
He's on his way out.
On his way out.
Anyway.
She's going to be with him.
And Carmelita Harris, who, by the way, hypocritical when she was an attorney general at the DA.
She pounded more people.
Well, she put more people in prison because of marijuana than you can imagine.
But all of a sudden, now she's the, oh, Brittany Griner!
Tatted African-American whatever.
LGBTQ +, I don't know.
Okay.
Meanwhile, Karanik...
But here's the kicker.
Here's the kicker.
Putin's on the phone, ostensibly.
He says, okay, I'll tell you what I'll do.
We'll give you back your grinder.
We want back our Victor boot.
No problem.
Now, excuse me.
Victor Boot, as you know, this was a man who was a notorious arms dealer.
That's fine.
We'll do it.
No, no, no.
He was responsible for arming more revolutions and death.
He's a merchant of death.
He actually has assault weapons.
By the way, a new Winchester rifle study I posted on Twitter shows that 60%, 60% of American hunters prefer the AR-15.
So there goes that argument.
Well, you don't need that for honey.
Well, apparently you do.
Just saying.
Anyway.
That's okay, we'll switch.
Not that I could, but if I was a prankster, You know how they have these morning shows in Russia that are the best morning shows?
They get through to everybody.
Have you heard these people?
I don't know who they are.
Good Morning Moscow or Moscow Zoo or whatever it is.
They go, hello, yes, this is Zelensky.
And oh, thank you.
And they all fall for this?
I don't know who these guys are, but they're terrific.
If they wanted to pull a joke, it somehow says, I'll tell you what, I have a new deal for you.
Something that may be more.
For those of you tired of the KGB and the Russians, I have a new deal for you.
Forget boot.
Don't do it.
We want you to exchange Dennis Rader, the BTK killer.
Yes, you heard me right.
The BTK killer.
We want you to, yes.
We want him.
Yes, I know he's a serial killer.
I know he's responsible for this.
Yes, yes.
But we want him.
We'll give you Brittany Greiner if you want this.
But we must have BTK Killer, Dennis Rieger.
They'd probably do it.
Now, logic would say, wait a minute.
We're not going to give you a serial killer.
Excuse me.
You know, we love Brittany.
No, no, no, no.
These people have lost their minds.
Oh, let me throw in, yes, the Green River Killer.
Can I?
Yes.
We can just throw him.
We were going to add the duck sauce killer, but he saved us the problem of killing himself.
Good.
This is demented.
This is just demented.
Who is Brittany Griner?
She's going to be?
Has Biden had a State of the Union ever?
I don't even remember any of these.
He's going to Kentucky.
Yeah, okay, great.
Look at the floods.
Anyway, what about this woman?
What about this American?
What about, I don't understand this.
What about Sarah Krivanek?
I don't understand it.
What is, where are we?
Now, as you know, as you know, We don't know why we do half of the stuff that we do.
We just don't.
We don't know why.
People say, I don't know.
All of a sudden, George Floyd was, okay, sure.
Brittany Grant, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, listen, by the way, it's really fashionable.
I want you to cover your entire, okay, all right.
Up here, too?
Yeah, okay, sure.
How about my face?
Is that good?
That's cool.
Okay, I'll do that.
And you put stuff, yeah, sure, I'll do that, yeah.
And we want you to wear 12 masks, yeah, okay, and a shield, and in your car alone, yeah, yeah, I'll do anything.
I don't respond anymore to rational...
Okay, let's take that, move that over here.
Now let's talk about Alex Jones.
Now, Alex...
Alex Jones, I was doing a radio show with a friend of mine the other day, and he says, what is Alex Jones?
And he tried to pretend like he didn't know who Alex Jones is.
Is he on radio?
I said, radio?
That's like saying, is he on shortwave?
Is he on an AM station?
Is he on a...
Is he on a...
Well, I don't know.
Is he on a...
You know, a baby monitor frequency?
Do people listen to him?
Listen to him.
Now my friend, whom I love, I said, let me tell you something.
More people know who he is, and listen to me, than Joe Rogan.
More people know who Alex Jones is than Howard Stern, by a long shot.
By a long shot.
Or, Elvis Duran, or Murray the K, or Ryan Seacrest, or Andy Cohen.
You don't understand this.
Good, bad, or indifferent, he is the name, again, Fame or infamy, you decide.
More people know who he is around the world than Joe Rogan.
Absolutely.
Now that doesn't mean it's good.
More people listen to Rick Beato, who by the way I'm a big fan of.
I love his stuff.
F Major 7, F Demented 6. I'm playing the Demented.
Not the Demented.
The Demented chord.
Mark Weens.
Today we're going to look at Panini.
Nine million.
It's like, wow.
Then you've got the Food Ranger, who's even more.
I mean, it's exploding in excitement.
Bread!
Okay, fine.
It's a new world.
I'm not saying good, bad, indifferent.
I'm just giving you the truth.
And somebody said it best.
That Alex Jones is the view for people.
Alex Jones is Joy Behar.
Alex Jones screams and yells.
Joy Behar screams and yells.
Alex Jones is far smarter.
And by the way, Alex, when he first started, It's a far more interesting show.
But whatever.
Whatever.
Doesn't matter.
He's the view.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's...
whatever.
Now, I'm not saying anything.
The most important person I think today in American broadcasting and American broadcasting is Joe Rogan, but internationally in terms of just if that means anything, if you say who knows this, without a doubt.
Without a doubt.
And people still don't understand the role of the internet and streaming and all that.
Okay, fine.
Good.
Now, two things I want to bring to your attention.
And this is the part, as a lawyer, I do not understand.
Number one, he's got a default?
I don't understand this.
My friend, I want you to listen to me and believe me.
I've never read the complaint.
I do not understand.
I think there's a Texas case, there's a Connecticut case.
I do not know.
I believe it was defamation and perhaps the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
He got a default?
I don't understand.
You didn't turn over.
What?
I don't get that.
Alex, did you do this on purpose?
What did you think was going to happen?
You didn't turn over.
And I hate lawyers who go on TV and they say, I don't know why you did that.
I wouldn't have done this.
So I don't know.
That's number one.
Number two, this is the part that kills me.
And you may not have caught this.
Remember the other day when they say all of a sudden, well, they sent to me in error all of your text messages.
But I heard, in error?
Wait a minute, in error?
Yeah.
Now I'm not going to talk about his lawyer.
Flipping off the...
I don't want to get into that.
I wasn't there, and I don't know this.
But let me tell you a little background story.
This is the part that freaked me out.
When you take the bar examination, one of the things which is...
You take the MBE, the multi-state, on one day, then you have the...
They're going to probably just get rid of the bar exam altogether one day.
But anyway, you take the multistate, the MBE, and then you take the state version with their own essays and things like that.
And then you take the MPRE, the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam.
I think it's still called the MPRE.
That's the hardest damn thing you could ever imagine.
It sounds easy.
It sounds easy.
And one of the things that you are...
Absolutely.
The thing that will get you killed as a lawyer, you steal from your client.
You steal from your client.
You're dead.
You're dead.
We don't do that.
We don't do that.
Everything else we can argue.
Well, maybe he did this.
But stealing?
Here's the loan.
Here's the money from my escrow.
Okay.
And the check bounces.
Wait a minute.
That's number one.
But number two is this.
And I've heard this my entire adult life.
So, let me see.
83. So, this is...
I'm coming on my...
This is my 49...
I'm looking at...
Wow.
No.
No, what am I saying?
I'm looking at my 39th year.
Yeah.
I was going to say 40. No, 39. Next year will be my 40th year.
That I...
Sort of.
No, 85. What am I saying?
Forget it.
Forget it.
A while.
Been doing this for a while.
And there's this story that you always heard in law school.
And it goes something like this.
You're in a cab.
And your co-counsel leaves a briefcase.
And it's...
And at first, you don't know...
You don't even remember it's his.
Maybe it was somebody else's from a prior passenger.
And you open it up.
And it's his name.
You close it.
Oh, God.
Did you see anything?
No.
Did you look at anything?
No.
Oh, my God.
No.
Okay.
Okay.
You didn't.
No, no.
And you call the person up.
Listen.
I want you to know.
I found your thing.
I did not look through it.
I'm turning it back in.
Okay, fine.
I mean, if you knowingly, knowing it wasn't yours, knowing it was privileged, knowing it was from the other co-counsel, and you're going through it, oh my God.
They'll kill you.
They'll kill you.
You can't do that.
Now, you may think, well, fine, just keep it.
Now, when I heard And this is the part I don't understand.
When I was listening to this trial, it was at one particular day, they said, well, here's the Perry Mason bomb.
Well, you know, you say you didn't, but your lawyer sent me these text messages in error.
Now, there may be some liability or whatever.
That's another issue.
I don't know.
But I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute.
What?
You're cross-examining him?
Yeah, and they sent him.
And I've got all your private communications that you didn't know I'd see.
But I got him by accident.
Wait a minute.
Hold it.
Now, this is the part I don't understand.
I must be missing something.
I must be missing something.
I don't understand this.
My God!
First of all, I guess it's a default.
So they're going there just on damages.
Remember, civil lawsuits are two different things.
Two different things.
Number one, liability.
You're driving on the road, hit somebody, boom, you're sued.
Am I liable?
Did I do something wrong?
That's liability.
Number two, okay, let's say I did.
What about the damages?
Damages, nothing happened.
You never hurt them.
Well, it's domnum obsque injuria.
We're not there.
But it's liability and damages.
Well, the liability part was taken care of because of the default.
When you default, you basically are admitting all well-plugged allegations.
Boom!
If you're sued, you've got to answer in 20 days usually, or else you default.
I don't understand this.
Again, I'm late to this party.
But I would have done, if I said this thing, wait a minute, hold it.
I would have been on the phone saying, I need a professional opinion here.
What do I do with this?
Can I use this?
Emotion in lemonade.
To go in camera.
Your Honor, I want to make sure we understand this.
I'm going to be bringing this up.
Is this okay?
Can I do this?
Yeah.
These are his...
I got these in error.
I obviously knew they were mislabeled.
Oops.
Who knows?
A court could say, you know what?
You did nothing wrong.
Use them.
Okay.
Just want to make sure it's okay.
Or they could say, sorry, this was clearly not the intent and we as officers of the court are going to maintain Mr. Jones's.
I don't know.
I don't understand.
Anything.
And I also know, and I know this is not grounds for a dismissal or a mistrial, but that judge cannot stand Alex Jones.
And do you know why?
Probably all the stuff that Alex says outside the courthouse that gets to the judge.
Now, why he's doing that, I have no idea.
I have no earthly idea.
What are you doing?
Wait till it's over.
Not during.
You're yelling at the judge?
Now?
But see, that's that thing people go through.
I'm Alex Jones.
You don't understand.
I'm right.
First Amendment.
Gadget and Flag.
Molan Lobby.
Don't tread on me.
Hey, America.
Okay.
I'm Brittany Griner.
I can do whatever I want.
These laws are stupid.
Hey!
I got tattoos.
I'm 6 '9".
Hey!
I don't get any of this.
Now, that aside, move this over here.
Number one.
I hope everybody's happy.
And by the way, $45 million.
I don't know if you saw the forensic accounting came in there and said, well, it makes about $70 million a year.
What?
Wow!
And you can hear all of the employees that he makes, what?
You mean to tell me I was working there and you, what?
He took, what?
Ex-wives?
What?
There's a lot of people that's like, ooh, you know.
Okay, but that notwithstanding.
You've just taken him and you've made him bigger, Than anything.
You don't understand.
He...
It's like throwing water on a grease fire.
It's like...
You give him oxygen.
You are just...
You are pillorying him.
You are...
This is his martyrdom.
You are creating...
Something bigger...
Than was ever there.
And I'm sure you knew this.
And from the plaintiff's point of view, they say, I don't care.
45, 50 million, whatever it is.
We'll take that.
We'll worry about that later.
Not only that, the other families as well.
But that's number one.
So whatever he was before, he's bigger than anything.
Bigger than anything.
And I know you're going to say, It's terrible.
We'll talk about what he did, which was stupid.
But aside from this, that's number one.
Number two, and this is the part that nobody understands.
To all of these nincompoops in the world of entertainment and opinion, to all of these people who don't understand what's going on, there is the impression that has been given that you can't say terrible things.
There are people out there who says conspiracy theorists, they think that being a conspiracy theorist is now against the law.
That saying things that hurt people is against the law.
And they confuse civil with criminal.
They keep saying that he was found guilty and they use the wrong terms.
But there are people who think That under the rules of the United States of America and our First Amendment, you cannot hurt anybody's feelings.
You cannot say something.
You cannot deny an event.
Oh, you don't think Zawahiri's dead?
His family's going to sue you.
Oh, you don't think Bin Laden's dead?
They're going to sue you.
Oh, you don't think Sirhan killed?
Okay, good.
Oh, you don't believe the story of the Vietnam War?
Well, these veterans over here, you're traumatizing them.
Now, There is a difference, and listen carefully like you've never listened before.
There's a difference between libel defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
If I'm on the air and I say that I don't believe this event happened versus and you parents of so-and-so and your rotten kid or I don't even know what was said, but if I make it personal about you, that's the intentional infliction of emotional distress, completely different can of worms.
Completely.
Nothing to do with defamation.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That's the part I don't understand.
So, all of this talk, nobody in the CNN group, Fox, I don't think they, I don't think anybody, anybody says, wait a minute, what about the First Amendment issues here?
We don't like him.
He's a big fat blowhard who yells, he's Joy Behar.
He's The View, is exactly what he is.
But anyway, they don't care about that.
They're not even thinking about the First Amendment ramifications.
They don't even care about it.
It's not even in their wheelhouse.
They're so bloody stupid.
Don't you understand what's happening?
You're going to be next.
I don't like what you say.
You're in charge right now, but if that ever changes, all of a sudden, I don't like what you say.
I don't like what you say.
Hey, Joy Behar, you said some pretty terrible things.
I'm going to shut the view down.
And in this new configuration of juries in the world, now you're the bad guy.
And there are people going to be calling for your head.
And they're going to go after your speech, and they're going to say that what you've done was unconscionable.
It was inexorable.
It was beyond horrible.
Now that is a separate issue from whether what he did was right or wrong.
That's not the point.
The point is, our ability to speak today is under so much attack, and so many people say, well, you know what, so what?
It's Alex Jones.
Who cares?
Who cares?
There was a time in this country when people would say, we understand the Ku Klux Klan has a right to march in Skokie.
They have a right to do this.
They have a right to...
And we said, okay.
There was a time when we said, you don't understand.
Daniel Ellsberg, he cannot be...
He was a hero for the Pentagon Papers.
What about Julian Assange?
Ah, it's a different story.
No, it's not a different story.
It's exactly the same story.
Well, but we don't like Julian Assange.
This is where we are today because we live in a world of the internet.
I don't like you.
You're fat, you're ugly, you're stupid, and you're fat.
And you're not attractive.
And you don't have any tattoos.
And you're not cool.
We don't like you.
First Amendment is for people who like people like that.
Now, I understand what is going on here.
This is a very complicated thing.
First of all, you've got the worst client ever.
Alex Jones.
The worst!
Because he's going to say whatever he wants and he's not paying attention to anybody.
He's stupid.
That's number one.
Number two, you don't...
As a human being, whatever.
But is anybody even...
I was going to say, as a human being, I wouldn't be saying anything.
I'm going after family members.
And here's the question that nobody will ever answer and nobody will ever talk about and I don't get it.
Alex, Mr. Jones, anybody ever show you any crime pictures?
Can we clear this up once and for all and say, let me just show you something.
Let me just show you something.
Mr. Big Mouth, let me show you these pictures.
You know what this is?
You ever seen this before?
These are innocent children slaughtered.
Why are we even...
I'd put an end to that immediately.
There you go.
Don't give me this, well, now I admit.
No, no, no, no.
Here, I'll show you right now.
I'll show you this years ago.
Here, here it is.
What are you talking about?
I don't understand how these things get this far.
And one of the reasons I don't understand is because...
The case does not really interest me as much as other things do.
To get into the weeds and the interstitial and who did what and the pleading and all that.
But the bigger picture, the bigger picture, which is so profoundly critical that nobody will even address, is what is happening to our speech.
You never hear this anymore.
You never hear somebody say, well, that may be true, but you know, we do have the First Amendment.
Nobody says it.
Well, it may be true.
We had a thing in 1971, I believe it was, and I was a kid, called the Anarchist Cookbook.
You can't put out a book.
You can't put out a book that tells people how to make bombs.
Well, yeah, you can.
In the New York Public Library on 42nd and 5th Avenue, right there, right there, they've got a book, they've got probably multiple copies of Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler's Blueprint for destruction of humanity.
That's okay.
Nobody's ever said, you've got to take that book out.
Nor should they.
It's history.
But we've got other people who say, well, yeah, that history can stay, but that Stonewall Jackson statue, that comes down.
And the Teddy Roosevelt statue comes down because there's apparently somebody, I think it's an Indian, I'm not really sure, standing behind him, and that's subservient, but you take him down.
And Christopher Columbus, and Alex Jones, but Brittany Griner is a hero because, well, she's got tattoos, and she's 6 '9", and she's LGBT, whatever it is.
No.
If we have expression in this country, if it means anything to anybody, it's like we allow it for everybody.
Even the stuff that makes you sick.
I've heard some of the vilest, most absolutely horrible things from the radical woke left, and I'm supposed to tolerate it.
Okay, fine.
Do I get to say what I want?
No.
Because we get fact checkers.
All of a sudden somebody says, Snopes.
Come here.
You're in charge.
Snopes!
Yeah, you're the fact checker.
I'm the fact checker?
Okay.
Need another one.
Political fact.
You got that?
Come here.
You're going to be a fact checker.
But I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
You're going to be the fact.
We're going to call it misinformation or disinformation.
If you want to go out drinking tonight, have somebody in your Who is an expert on inebriety.
Let's say you're driving.
Pardon me, officer.
Yes, I may appear to be intoxicated to you, but I have Dr. Cletus Lefevre here.
He is a professor of biochemistry at Purdue University, and he, in his opinion, he said that I am not clinically intoxicated, or illegally intoxicated, or impaired.
So therefore, my fact checker says you are wrong.
So be on your way.
If only life were like that.
How dare you say that?
Excuse me, I have with me my fact checker, and in his opinion, what I just said was not at all actionable, so shut up.
We don't have that.
We don't have that.
We have people like, and President Trump, oh my god, this guy's been a rapist.
He has been responsible for everything from post-nasal drip to you name it.
And we think, well, it's the way it goes.
But it doesn't go the other way around.
So in conclusion, let me just say this.
This is not about supporting or defending or saying when Alex Jones was right or wrong.
That's not the issue.
But the issue is, what happened about opinion?
Let me also say, remember, It is actionable if you use your pulpit to target people.
That's one thing.
But defamation because you're saying, well, something didn't happen.
I don't believe that happened.
Nine times out of ten, we don't believe something happened.
We don't believe the other side.
We don't believe it was that bad.
We never believe it occurred.
I don't believe January 6th occurred.
How dare you?
Don't you understand?
My father-in-law was hurt.
You're hurting my family now.
You're saying that he...
There's nothing to do with your family.
Well, it does.
Because you're saying, that's what I want people to talk about.
And again, let me make this very, very clear.
Targeting individuals and family members is one thing.
Statements about events is another.
Okay.
Let me leave it at that.
I've got to get this one in.
Monkeypox.
I'm not even going to attempt that one.
I just did a brand new one.
You know and I know what causes monkeypox.
You know and I know what kind of behaviors are responsible for monkeypox being transmitted.
You know and I know who and what behaviors and what demographics are primarily responsible for the transmission of monkeypox.
And what this has to do with a first grader somewhere, I have no idea.
We know what that's about.
I again refer you to my own particular site where I went through a much, because I remember the 80s and when AIDS came along and oh my god, that was something.
And we never really got...
In fact, it was...
There were certain behaviors that people just fixated on, including Ronald Reagan, including Ed Koch and others, in any event.
Let me just leave it there for a second.
Let me stop for one second also.
I must do this.
Because we love our sponsors.
And my man, my man, oh my god, Mike Linnell, patriot, business genius, and the creator of MyPillow.com.
MyPillow.com, use promo code Lionel, and you will get, I know, a free gift.
Or if you're old school, 800-645-4965.
Go to MyPillow.com or MyPillow.com slash Lionel and just...
Look at what is available.
And we're not doing this.
I don't particularly care when purchasing products.
He may be a wonderful man.
He may be a brave man and a good man.
But I don't care.
I want the pillows to be the best and they are.
I want the bedding to be the best and it is.
I want the slippers to be and the sandals and everything to be absolutely perfect and they are.
That's why I want you to go to MyPillow.com.
Promo code Lionel.
Now, you've heard me say this, and I'm going to say it again.
If you use any other site, and you don't put Lionel in, we don't get any credit for it.
And if I find out that you've done this, if I find that you went and purchased it and did not use promo code Lionel, I will find you.
It may take a long time.
And I will confront you.
So, in order to avoid that, mypillow.com slash Lionel, promo code Lionel, do it or 800-645-4965.
Now, I've got to say something.
I'm going to say it again to you.
I know so many people, so many, many, many, many, many people in the news business, and they suck gravitationally.
They are the worst.
They are the most ill-equipped, the most transcendentally nationed people you have ever met in your life.
They don't know anything.
They know about graphics.
They know about sales.
They know about one-minute interviews.
They know about...
I saw this morning a local...
a guy from a local TV show just going out explaining the weather.
This is...
and I will always...
just like I'm fixated on tattoos, this is it.
Well, you know, right now it's not...
it's a little cooler.
Of course, it's 6.30 in the morning, which is where I am right now.
Temperatures are expected to get warmer as the day goes right around noon, 1 o 'clock.
And then maybe 2, 3 o 'clock it hits its peak.
And then as the evening comes, it gets cooler.
Then darkness comes, and next thing you know.
Now this moron could be talking about China.
No, no.
No, he's explaining the weather to you.
Weather!
And that girl goofy and hey, we're talking to somebody, what do you think about today?
They're ripped eyes out there at the beach, you having hot dogs here?
How do you keep the sand out of your hot dogs?
This is where we are.
We celebrate stupidity.
We are so used to it.
Acclimated to it.
We are habituated to stupidity.
Stupidity is our middle name.
Stupidity, base, vileness, vapid, void, vacant, vacuous, nullified nothingness, nullity, just...
That's a good question.
Where are the likes?
332 likes?
Mrs. L is getting upset.
I was watching, and I'm telling you, I am so impressed.
W-I-O-N.
This is out of New Delhi.
They have an Indian accent and speak perfect English.
I mean, the numbers are different.
Instead of saying it was 122,000, they say 122,000.
Perfect!
And they show a map of Taiwan and all these spots and they're talking about the Quad and they're showing you, I mean, and what do you think we're talking about today in this country?
What do you think we're talking about?
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian have broken up.
I swear to God.
Ann Hayes yesterday, as I'm going to max, I guess she's okay.
90 miles.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Anne Heche.
Whoa.
Remember when she was outed for being straight?
Remember that one?
Remember she was Anne Heche?
Remember it was Anne Heche was with Ellen, right?
And then they found her in a trailer where some guy goes, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
They outed her for being straight.
Anyway, that whole thing makes no sense.
You...
Have no idea what is happening regarding China, Taiwan, and why, in the name of God, we leave this 80, let this 82-year-old sot, this inebriate, this wizened, dotered, hobble on over there to just stir the pot and bring it on while Taiwan is in the crosshairs.
That's it.
Next, I'm going to finally leave this.
This is the most important thing.
David Zaslav is my new hero.
It's Warner Discovery, Discovery, Discovery, whatever he is.
It's all consolidated.
Zaslav.
Z-A-S-L-A-V.
And he is basically, there's this incredible article that says, I want heritage.
I want common sense.
We're not going to have stupid, garish Netflix, all this money going out the door.
We're not going to pay Megan, I don't know how many millions of dollars for nothing.
Because as you know, Netflix and these other companies, these were basically payoff.
These were like back-end deals for people who were, you know, instruments of disaster.
You can't pay.
Obama, when he's in office?
Come on.
Just wait a little bit.
Isn't Michelle on her second book, right?
Make care of that.
Of course, you'll never find this book anywhere.
And maybe you'll see him at the airport.
That's about it.
Bezos at Amazon is going to say it's number one.
They just pull up the phone and then move on and then move on to the back of the phone.
Uh-huh.
Well, as we know...
Oh, yesterday, who was it?
Bezos and his girlfriend, she's walking.
He's trying to look like a normal guy.
She had a $100,000 Birkin bag.
$100,000, right?
A bag.
A purse.
$100,000.
So...
Netflix was, okay, Mr. Obama, Mr. President, Madam, First Lady, you're going to be producing a series, a slate of projects for Netflix.
We're going to pay you a half a billion dollar.
You got it?
I don't know anything about it.
You got it?
Oh yeah, we got it.
Great.
You're over here.
And your book deal?
Yes, yes.
We bought the book.
That's over there.
Oh, and you're recording.
You got your podcast you're going to do?
Sure.
What are we up to?
Something else.
Okay, you're going to be doing...
What are you going to do?
Where's that money coming from?
Who cares?
Nobody's looking.
Nobody's...
Well, Zazlav and others are saying, that's it.
We're done with that.
That ain't going to happen anymore.
You're not going to see Netflix.
How long before Netflix just goes gone?
Not gone, but just the days of these big projects are over.
It's done.
It's finished.
News is done.
Regular is done.
It's going to be not just streaming, but streaming that makes sense.
We're going to talk more about that.
These are very, very incredible times.
So, let me just thank you for that.
Let me ask you right now, please, Mrs. L, Thanks you for her support.
Go to LinzWarriors on YouTube.
Just sign up for her.
Incredibly important, critical videos and the like.
She is devoted to this 24-7.
And I'm not just saying that as an exaggeration.
I mean it.
I mean it 100%.
Follow her also at Twitter at Linz underscore Warriors.
What is that you're sending me?
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh God.
Couples put on X-rated shows in New York City's dining sheds.
Don't get me started.
By the way, the funniest thing in New York is Greg Abbott is sending these people, these Venezuelans or whoever they're from, they're getting off the bus to the Port Authority like, here we are!
And our incomprehensible pretend mayor, he doesn't know what to do with.
Let me tell you something right now.
I would take...
If I could take, I don't know how we would do it, but put these miscreants, these New York-born, degenerate, street urchins, vile criminals, put them on a bus, send them wherever, I'll take all, give me Central Americans, South Americans, families who will go to school.
Who will enjoy and avail themselves of the American way?
Come on in!
I'll take you any day.
Oh, you want to help?
Come on in!
Absolutely!
The problem that we have in this country is not the illegal immigrant.
In some cases, yes.
It's the people who live here!
These are the people.
These are a waste of flesh!
Anyway, I'll leave it at that.
Okay?
I mean that sincerely.
You have a great and a glorious day.
Thank you so much for being not only who you are, but what you appear to be.
We'll be back tomorrow at St. Bat Time, St. Bat Channel at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
