The Perils of Retrofitting Expectation

Voting has nothing to do with policy nor does politics. Polity likewise confounds. Nothing can be accomplished unless and until your side wins.

	Good day, my friend.
	Good day.
	I want to start off with a word.
	A word that is so perfect.
	So wonderful.
	I want to make sure you know it.
	I want to make sure you commit it to your memory.
	The word is poseur.
	Not poser.
	P-O-S-E-U-R.
	And it's perfect.
	It so describes so many people that I know.
	Phonies.
	Absolute poseurs.
	And it means as follows.
	And I love a great definition that really Nails it.
	Opposer is a person who attempts to impress others by assuming or affecting a manner, degree of elegance, sentiment, etc., other than his or her true one.
	Who attempts to impress others by assuming or affecting a manner, degree of elegance, sentiment, etc.
	There's a wonderful word, too.
	I love this one.
	And I want to give you specifically the actual definition because the definitions are so precise.
	This is a parvenu.
	P-A-R-V-E-N-U.
	It's a person who has recently or suddenly acquired wealth, importance, position, or the like, but has not yet developed the conventionally appropriate manners, dress, surroundings, etc.
	Again, a phony.
	Nouveau riche, new riche, whatever it is.
	And we...
	Live in a world of political phonies.
	We have people who talk about things in ways that completely defy rational thought.
	And we're going to be talking about this.
	Also, people do not like news they consider to be bad.
	Nobody wants the truth.
	People love to hear, just tell me my reality.
	Skew it, spin it, explain it in a way that best...
	That best establishes my worldview and my sense of reality.
	I don't really want to know the truth.
	Just kind of tell me what's going on.
	So get ready.
	Sit back.
	You are not going to like any of this if you're a poser.
	A poseur.
	A parvenu.
	Here's another one too.
	I like this one.
	While we're at it.
	Just some great words.
	A boulevardier.
	Think about Boulevard with an I-E-R.
	Boulevard, yeah.
	This is a person who frequents the most fashionable Parisian locales.
	I know people, I'm sorry to say this, and please do not take this the wrong way, mostly women, who are absolutely smitten with name brands.
	Name brand.
	You can say here, do you like this belt?
	Not really.
	You don't?
	No.
	Put a big Chanel C, double C, I'll take it.
	Hugo Boss!
	Ralph Lauren!
	Big!
	I'll take it!
	It goes back to the poser.
	It goes back to this.
	And we see them oftentimes in not only Republican circles.
	I'm sure there are Democratic circles who do the same thing.
	I don't know them.
	But also, and for lack of a better word, conspiratorial circles who know the same, who know the lingo, as it were.
	So, let me just remind you of that.
	Now, before...
	Let me make a couple of things.
	First, it is critical.
	A couple of housekeeping rules.
	First, as you know, and I mean this, it is very, very important for you to like this.
	I cannot explain to you enough.
	It is important.
	We are fighting algorithms.
	We are fighting...
	There's an internal mechanism for whatever particular reason we have been signaled or...
	Whatever it was.
	There's a guy who does a channel of making bread.
	He's in the millions.
	And he's very, very good.
	But I have been stuck at this.
	And I can't believe for a moment that...
	So, please like the video.
	Please subscribe to the channel.
	Once...
	This is important.
	Once you like it more, then it's shared with others.
	And we bring more people on to try to spread the good word.
	Next, I so appreciate everyone who has contributed, who has helped us out.
	Because we are, of course, demonetized, but not demoralized.
	And you are able to contribute to this effort through PayPal, through Patreon, through Venmo, through Cash App, Bitcoin.
	It's all described here in and here under.
	And we thank you for that.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Thank you excessively for that.
	Now, what's also important to note are sponsors.
	There is nothing better than dealing with somebody who wants to help you, but who has a product and information which is critical.
	Because I'm telling you right now, as we speak, the world, The entire world is experiencing food shortages for a variety of reasons.
	Supply chain breakdowns continue to have, for lack of a better word, a domino effect on everything and food production.
	Farmers can't plant as many crops now because of fertilizer shortages, nitrogen rules.
	This nonsense, this World Economic Forum force regulation, Klaus Schwab idiocy, high fuel prices.
	You could say, well, I've noticed that the price is going down.
	No, they're not.
	This isn't affecting.
	This has not provided the breathing room for farmers around the world.
	This will cause more food shortages, and we will run out of food.
	That we're eating now.
	Now this is something that people, again, this is part of today's subject matter.
	People don't want to think this.
	You've got to understand this.
	And you've got to be afraid.
	And act.
	Not just afraid, but act.
	Now, here's what you need to do.
	The best way is to invest in Ready Hour Emergency Food from MyPatriotSupply.
	And the link you must know is PrepareWithLionel.com PrepareWithLionel.com.
	Write this down.
	PrepareWithLionel.com.
	And right now you can save.
	This is a great deal.
	$50 on a four-week food kit.
	See for yourself.
	See this.
	You'll be not addicted to it, but you'll be smitten and you'll understand why PrepareWithLionel is so critical.
	You get a $50 savings on a four-week emergency food kit that average over 2,000 calories a day.
	PrepareWithLionel.com.
	Those who know, those who understand, are way ahead of you.
	And it's not too late, but you've got to do it now.
	PrepareWithLionel.com I mentioned to you the poser, and I mentioned to you this, that what I'm about to tell you, you're not going to want to hear.
	And I'm seeing it now more and more and more and more.
	Everywhere I go, I am seeing it, and I'm trying my very best.
	To explain to people, this is what you have to worry about.
	But you see, people love delusion.
	They love delusion.
	And right now, if I had to bet, if I had to bet right this moment, if I had to bet right now on the midterms and 2024, it's Democrats.
	They're going to take this thing.
	And what I'm telling people right now is so antithetical to your worldview, you're going to say, this man's loss is mine.
	They're going to take it.
	They're going to take it because the Republicans just don't.
	They have, I don't know what they think, but let me explain to you how it works.
	First, this is war.
	And anybody who's ever studied history, studied war, studied the battlefield, the first thing you understand, it's a two-way street.
	One, To destroy the enemy.
	And number two, to always know what the enemy is doing to you.
	So that you don't get destroyed.
	Here's what Republicans love to do.
	First, let's talk about the elites.
	Let's talk about the elites.
	Okay?
	Think about this.
	The elites.
	The best of the best.
	They think...
	That as long as they live in a bubble and in a world where their worldview is reinforced by either cable news, rallies, hanging around friends who agree, they've got nothing to worry about.
	Let me give you an example.
	I wish I could do a show called America's Clueless.
	I was talking to somebody the other day Not at all.
	I mean, a very, very active, very active Republican.
	And she said to me, she said to me as follows.
	Ready?
	She said, you know, when I look at those Trump rallies, it's so great to see the young people love him because Trump is a rock star.
	And that's a good sign.
	Because young people are going to Vote for him.
	Young people are going to overwhelmingly vote for him because there were young people who were swooning over Trump at a Trump rally.
	And I said, well, what do you expect at a Trump rally?
	Why did they go to a Trump rally?
	Because they were once Democrats, once liberals, once Biden acolytes who changed the course?
	Or were they on board the whole time?
	You don't even know how to read a room.
	This isn't the...
	This reinforced the world you want to see.
	The other day I saw something which is so interesting, and you're going to love this.
	I can't get too much into detail, but there was a group of Republicans at a kind of like a book party, a media party, and they're all...
	The big names.
	Drinking their...
	Whatever they're drinking.
	A veritable who's who.
	The powerhouses.
	The big names.
	Clueless.
	Absolutely clueless.
	So what should you do?
	What data do you want to...
	Well, I'm going to tell you something, what you're doing, that's probably wrong.
	You're watching shows that tell you how great the Republicans are.
	You want to hear somebody, and I don't mean this in any way back, you want to hear Victor Davis Hanson compare the Peloponnesian Wars to whatever, then that's great.
	That's policy.
	There's two different kinds of analysis.
	One is, I have a TV show, I have a website, where we talk about how stupid these people are.
	How stupid Trump is.
	How stupid.
	The DOJ is.
	How corrupt they are.
	We'll have Miranda Devine on to talk about Hunter Biden for the millionth time.
	Nobody cares about Hunter Biden.
	It's over.
	Give it up.
	I don't know what you think is going to happen.
	Maybe later.
	We have two months to go before midterms and you're talking about Hunter Biden's laptop.
	You want to talk about the Anthony Weiner laptop?
	Remember that big story?
	That was a good one.
	Oh my God!
	Remember that story?
	Remember that one?
	Because people just want to say, you know what, I just want to hear these great stories.
	Do you really want to hear a story?
	How about Sarah Palin?
	Why did she win?
	Because she's an idiot.
	A lot of people are.
	Does Trump's endorsement mean anything?
	Not necessarily.
	I mean, it can.
	Do you think people are going to vote for somebody just because Trump says, I like this guy?
	Do you think it works like that?
	Do you think people really think?
	I don't.
	I don't.
	And what's Trump doing now?
	What?
	Tell me.
	What's Trump doing now?
	Well, playing a lot of golf.
	What does Trump look like to people?
	He's always got that white t-shirt, that shirt on, got the red hat.
	Always standing there, going like that.
	Playing golf.
	Playing golf?
	That's good.
	People are scared.
	The world is scary, but I'm doing great.
	I'm playing golf.
	Beautiful Palm Beach.
	We're having a great time.
	Playing golf.
	What are you doing?
	You playing golf?
	I'm not playing golf.
	I can't even fill up my car.
	Don't worry, I can.
	There you go.
	Is this it?
	You love that?
	You think it's a good idea?
	Get off that damn golf course.
	What are you doing?
	What are you doing?
	What was going on here?
	I don't understand it.
	Ron DeSantis is working.
	Ron DeSantis has a suit on.
	Ron DeSantis is this guy.
	He's saying the right stuff.
	It's going to be harder than he thinks.
	Oh, but no.
	But Trump thinks I'm a rock star.
	I got in here being Trump.
	So I'm not going to change.
	And I'm not going to listen to you.
	I don't care what you have to say.
	And if I win again, I'm going to have Ivanka back and this and that.
	Every five minutes, I'm hit with another fundraiser.
	Another one.
	Money.
	I want the money.
	I want the money.
	That's okay.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I understand that.
	What are you going to do with them?
	Are you going to run?
	What's going on here?
	I don't know.
	Kimberly Guilfoyle sending me emails.
	This shows a complete disconnect from anything even remotely approximating reality.
	Complete.
	I don't get any of this.
	I don't understand this.
	What's going on here?
	You're going to lose this thing.
	Again.
	Before even enough.
	Maybe I should run.
	Maybe I shouldn't run.
	What are you doing?
	The world is not about whether you're going to run.
	I mean, I can't believe what's going on here.
	And please, I know people don't like to hear this.
	Who's advising him?
	I don't want to hear any more about how they ransacked your home.
	I don't care about that.
	January 6th.
	Or how you got the election stolen.
	We're done.
	What do you want to talk about?
	I want to talk about a vision.
	I want to talk about a vision.
	Where's the vision?
	Why should I vote for you?
	I'm going to say this again for the millionth time.
	Nobody cares, but I'm going to say it.
	Because one day they're going to say, hey, it makes sense.
	Thank you.
	I've been saying it forever.
	There's three groups of people.
	People are going to vote for Biden, people are going to vote for Trump, and people who are undecided.
	Independents, undecideds, they're in the middle.
	That's the group of people.
	That's the one.
	Do you understand what I'm saying?
	They're the ones.
	What are you giving them?
	A bunch of golf shots?
	Hey, I like that drop.
	See how much golf he plays?
	I admire that.
	And I love the way he always talks about January 6th or the election.
	That's it.
	Maybe I should run.
	Maybe I shouldn't run.
	It's about me.
	You love me.
	I'm the star.
	I'm the star.
	You know what Biden always talks about?
	Other stuff.
	He never talks about him.
	Never.
	And you're going to say, well, of course not.
	Doesn't matter.
	You're missing the point.
	See, nobody wants to listen to me.
	Because they're saying, I don't care.
	I want to live in a world where my worldview, my hopes, my dreams are reinforced.
	Let me tell you something right now.
	There's something which people have to understand.
	I want you to look at 538.com.
	And you're going to say, New York Times bought it, Nate Silver, they're always wrong.
	Okay.
	Are you done?
	That's a friend of mine.
	Oh, these polls are wrong.
	Okay.
	Don't you want to see what the enemy's saying?
	No.
	Nope.
	I want to hear about I want to hear some country music star talk about.
	I want Kid Rock to tell me about stuff.
	I don't care about this.
	Well, I do.
	And let me tell you what's going on right now.
	Biden's getting Not just among his own people, but the people who may very well say, and I'm going to tell you some things and you're not going to like it.
	You're going to say, this is the most ridiculous thing because you don't know how to read the enemy.
	Biden is going to say that he has broad economic and climate change legislation.
	They love that.
	The Inflation Reduction Act.
	How he got Joe Manchin.
	To support broad economic and climate change legislation.
	He's going to tell people this law reduces prescription drug prices for seniors.
	It provides an investment base in green energy tax credits to consumers who buy environmentally positive and green Goods.
	Like electric vehicles.
	And you're going to say, that's crazy.
	Why?
	Because I watch certain channels that laugh at that.
	And they laugh at that.
	And they say it's stupid because the other day in California, they were told, don't charge your car up because it's too hot.
	And because I know that, I'm going to dismiss And forget what people think are true.
	I don't care what somebody else thinks because I know what's true.
	My organic kale salad restaurant is going to make more money than McDonald's because kale is better for you than McDonald's.
	Because I know that, and because I know that, other people are wrong.
	And because they're wrong, they're going to change.
	Biden signs a bipartisan, quote, gun safety bill.
	Oh, my God.
	The first major legislation, he will say, in about 28 years.
	Wow.
	And you're going to say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	See, what this is, there's a Second Amendment.
	Uh-huh.
	And this is an encroachment.
	Okay.
	And the...
	Okay, fine.
	The Bruin case that...
	Terrence Thomas?
	Okay, fine.
	He also said, we got Ayman al-Zawahiri.
	Well, maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
	This is the al-Qaeda leader, and what is that going to do?
	Well, that adds a little bit, a little bit, maybe not much, but a little bit of a counter to the perspective, or to the perception that Biden is a terrible leader because of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
	He also said he signed legislation that makes it easier for now veterans who are exposed to toxic burn pits.
	What the hell is that?
	I don't know.
	Veterans.
	War.
	Then he said, I'm going to give up to $20,000 for student loan forgiveness.
	They love that.
	God, they love that.
	You know what Biden will say?
	Republicans have corporate welfare.
	How about you getting it?
	How about you getting it versus some big corporation?
	And you're going to say, but that's a lie.
	That's BS.
	Great.
	You know that.
	I know that.
	Is that supposed to...
	Yes.
	My understanding will cancel whatever people think.
	The Quinnipiac College poll said that about 53% to 43% roughly.
	About a 10-point spread.
	That they approve this.
	You're going to say, wait a minute, that's not a real poll.
	Go ahead, say that.
	Go ahead.
	Gas prices are going down.
	Well, yeah, but they're not as low as Trump.
	That's true.
	Inflation seems to be cooling.
	Who says?
	They say.
	They're going to be saying that the job market remains strong.
	That we're COVID.
	That we did some things.
	You know what?
	Pretty, pretty things are going pretty, pretty well.
	And that is the most critical information you need to know.
	But you can't, you're not going to see that, watching the same station you watch all the time.
	Because you're being told everything's great.
	And there's this Trump hagiography.
	Now, make no mistake about it.
	I think Trump is one of the most fascinating, divisive, divisive, depending on where you're from, effective, crazy, brilliant.
	This guy, they will never, ever, ever figure him out.
	He is...
	And when he, the idea of him running against like this, please, don't.
	That's where people are.
	Please.
	Now, there are other people who live in La La Land.
	They say, this is great.
	Same way the left is.
	They think everything's great under Biden.
	It's the reality of this.
	Now, let me ask you something.
	What do you think the undecided voter is going to do?
	Remember this.
	Remember this.
	Remember.
	And by the way, let me stop right there.
	If you get a chance, either now or later, read the comments.
	And the comments will never acknowledge this.
	The comments missed the point.
	I love you.
	Missed the point completely.
	Oh no, inflation's bad.
	Oh no.
	You see?
	This is what you...
	Oh no, I know better.
	I'm not saying this is true.
	I'm saying this is what they're saying.
	This is the advertising campaign.
	And I love you more than you can imagine, but read this.
	Read what people say.
	They don't understand politics.
	They think that, yes, but truth will vitiate, negate, will overrule some crazy perception.
	Right?
	This is what you think.
	And I know this.
	You're missing the point.
	You're missing the point.
	It's about advertising.
	What's your message?
	How do I get the undecided person to vote?
	And right now, as of today, they're going to lose.
	They don't have it.
	Because Republicans just want to be right or something.
	I don't know.
	They just want to go around, hey, we're great.
	We're great.
	And they think that somehow either crime or gender transmogrification or I don't know what, that this is going to be the issue.
	I've been suggesting that's the only thing that makes the most sense.
	But they're not doing that.
	They're not doing that.
	I mean, some people talk about it, but that's not it.
	Democrats set the standard.
	The Republicans rebut it.
	The Republicans need to set the standard.
	They need to say, this is what we're doing.
	And let me tell you what needs to be done.
	And I'm going to say it a million times.
	And I do not believe Trump can do this.
	Because I do not think, deep down inside, Trump can understand this.
	I don't think.
	This is the part that's frustrating.
	Because I think he loves to be Trump and not a...
	Great leader or politician or whatever.
	He can be himself.
	The thing that has always worked is to give people a dream, a world view, an idea.
	Something to believe in.
	Something to imagine.
	Something I want to lure people.
	Imagine you're trying to court.
	A man or a woman or whatever you're...
	And you're trying...
	What are you trying to do?
	You're going to talk about how bad they are?
	Well, you know, your other husband, your other boyfriend, your other wife, they were terrible.
	See, they were terrible.
	See, your husband was a drunk.
	Your husband was a drunk.
	That's why your kids are so screwed up, because your husband before...
	Is that going to work?
	Would you ever do that?
	Would you ever do that?
	Do you think a car dealer, a car salesman says, well you're driving a piece of, that's a bucket of bolts.
	Look at that thing you're driving there.
	That's got lousy gas mileage.
	It's not very attractive.
	People don't like it.
	People don't look at it.
	People don't care about it.
	They don't sell it like that.
	Nobody works like this.
	And nobody says, why do you want to buy our car?
	Because it's the best.
	And that's it.
	And if you don't believe it, well, you're not, you're crazy.
	That's the way we do it.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	And by the way, the Democrats, who are these people?
	Read what they're saying.
	What are you going to do about Roe?
	This is the best one.
	Watch this.
	Watch this.
	Watch this right now.
	Listen to what I'm saying.
	Listen to what I'm saying right now.
	What do you think they're going to do about Roe?
	That's right.
	What do you think?
	They're going to clobber you with that one.
	Us.
	Us.
	This country does not believe in abortion but doesn't want to overturn Roe.
	And that's what they believe happened.
	And that's precisely what they're going to say.
	And they're going to look at Trump, or the Republicans, or Clarence Thomas, or whatever it is, and they're going to say, these people denied a woman, and you're going to be forced, yet again, to clarify.
	No, no, no, that's not what happened.
	You're going to be flat-footed.
	And instead of going on the offensive, you're going to have to stop and explain, no, that's not what happened.
	You see, it didn't ban abortion.
	All Dobbs did was it merely gave states the right.
	Forget it.
	And once they get you to do this, you're done.
	Once they do this.
	Once they do this.
	You see, nobody's interested in that.
	People just want to say, I'm right.
	I know what I'm talking about isn't right.
	I'm right.
	I'm right.
	I know what I'm saying.
	And the President and Republicans have to say to the country, what is it that you offer?
	Let me ask you this.
	Why should I vote Republican?
	What?
	What do I do?
	What are you going to do for me?
	What are you going to do for me?
	Tell me.
	Mitch McConnell?
	What are you offering?
	Okay, I'm all ears.
	What is it?
	Tell me.
	Strong economy?
	Okay.
	Do you know a strong economy doesn't grab people?
	I don't know what they mean.
	Most people say, well, you know when the economy is better, most people, they don't know what you're talking about.
	Or your 401k, a lot of people don't know what you're talking about.
	So tell me, what do you want?
	What do you want?
	What do you want?
	Why is it that you want to keep putting guns?
	You're against gun control?
	Why are you against gun control?
	What do you say?
	How do you answer that?
	You don't want a woman to be able to have an abortion?
	Is that what you're saying?
	A lot of people here will say, a human life begins at a conception.
	Okay, that's fine.
	You want to run on that?
	You're dead.
	You're through.
	Go ahead.
	Vote Republican and we're going to repeal abortion.
	You're dead.
	You're through.
	Throw in the towel.
	That's it.
	You're done.
	So tell me.
	And I promise you, I was at a certain organization, Republican organization, fairly recently, and I couldn't believe what I'm...
	I'm looking at these people and I thought, they don't get it at all.
	They don't want to win.
	Now remember, If you want to be policy, that's one thing.
	If you want to win elections, that's a different story.
	The two have nothing to do with each other.
	The two have nothing to do.
	Do you want to sell McDonald's or do you want to feed the world?
	I want to sell.
	It depends.
	I'm the CEO?
	I want to affect the stock price?
	By the way, did you see that Bed Bath& Beyond exec?
	Committed suicide?
	A lot of suicides going on here.
	Don't go there with this one.
	Let's talk about crime.
	You want to go after crime?
	So tell me, why do I want?
	What do I want to do?
	What do you want to do with crime?
	Most people say, well, you know, it's crime.
	I don't know.
	Where do you think all this crime is?
	Where's all this crime?
	Where is it?
	Big cities?
	Well, those big cities, you know how they are.
	They've always had it.
	I don't...
	Ask most people, most parts of the country, is crime really bothering you?
	Do you really...
	Is crime...
	Well, you know, yeah, theoretically.
	That's how people talk about education.
	It's great to talk about, but nobody feels it.
	See, what Rudy Giuliani did when he ran for mayor, or he was mayor, the first thing that he did that everybody would notice was squeegee men.
	Didn't seem like much, but everybody said, wow.
	Nobody walked out and said, I have this.
	Idea about squeegee, man.
	I guarantee you, excuse me, people didn't go out and say, I have to say about education.
	Nobody said, if only we could do more of our education.
	You wouldn't believe, I'll never forget, when Bill de Blasio ran, he said, I'm going to give you free pre-K.
	Pre-K.
	They loved that.
	I thought, this is the most stupid thing.
	I said, this is, this is, this is child care.
	This is daycare.
	This isn't pre-care.
	It didn't matter.
	It won.
	And it won.
	It also won because nobody voted and his son had an Afro, which is a long story.
	So let me ask you something.
	Where do you think it's going on?
	Where do you think?
	Where do you think?
	Who's running the show?
	Where's the narrative?
	Tell me what...
	It's just simple.
	I want to be like...
	Go back and look at what Reagan did.
	Reagan talked about dreams.
	You laugh at this.
	You laugh at this.
	Just listen.
	Say something.
	Don't worry if you repeat a dream they have.
	Biden never talks about himself.
	With Biden, it's never about him.
	Maybe it shouldn't be.
	Maybe that's the point.
	You laugh at him.
	The other night, that speech, that was powerful.
	And that red background.
	You think America cares about that?
	No.
	Damn!
	Didn't he look tough?
	If you can't look at your opponent and see that was good, you don't know what to do.
	It's like you being a cut man, or you being a customato, or you being a boxing coach, you being a Teddy Atlas, and you're saying, well, what should I do?
	Oh, I don't care about him.
	That's the opponent.
	Yeah, but did you watch what he's good at?
	No, I don't watch that stuff.
	I don't like him.
	No, I need your help.
	What are you going to do?
	I don't know.
	You want to be able to handicap the opponent.
	What are they doing?
	What is he doing right?
	What's going on here?
	What's the message?
	Where is the message?
	Let me stop right now.
	I always talk about business.
	Because business and war, kind of the same thing.
	I love to talk about that.
	And one of the things I love is what is very, very simple.
	I love a very simple idea.
	MyPillow.
	Any questions?
	That's it.
	It's the name of the company.
	MyPillow.
	MyPillow.
	What's Uber?
	I don't know.
	If you didn't know what Uber was, you'd go, well, it's a car.
	Really?
	It should be called My Car Service or My whatever it is.
	My pillow is as smart as you can get.
	Best name.
	Best products.
	Best connection.
	Best.
	It's so simple.
	American made.
	Great product.
	Chef Boyardee.
	The names of people.
	You think, wow, there really was one.
	There really is a man.
	Yes, here's my name.
	This is me.
	I'm the person.
	This is the one.
	There it is.
	It's perfect.
	Give people what they want.
	The best products.
	The best sheets.
	The best pillowcases.
	The best pillows.
	The best toppers.
	The best everything.
	The best.
	Right now, the best sheets.
	There's a sheet sale.
	It's going out of control.
	But very, very simply this.
	Give them the best.
	Give them the best and then be identified with it.
	And then always say, here's something for you.
	Right now, the biggest bed sheet sale in my pillow history.
	Percale and Giza dream sheets.
	Boom.
	That's it.
	I'm going to save you money.
	Here I am.
	Here's my face.
	I'm proud.
	Everybody else, all the other CEOs, they hide.
	They change.
	They're over here.
	Don't look at me.
	And when you put your name on it, like Mike Lindell did, it's different than anything else.
	It changes the whole complexion of everything.
	So you're going to go to MyPillow.com, promo code Lionel, or MyPillow.com slash Lionel.
	That's solidness or virgule Lionel.
	Or if you're OG, call 800-645-4965.
	800-645-4965.
	The best products, the best stamp behind everything.
	Here's my face, here's my image, here's my...
	There's nothing like it.
	Most people who run companies are just...
	I like that.
	MyPillow.com, promo code Lionel.
	Now I recognize the fact that...
	When I tell people about this, they don't like it.
	And you know what?
	I don't care.
	I don't care.
	I hear more crap people talk about it.
	It's not even remotely funny.
	It is.
	I can't even tell you.
	And the thing is, I don't understand.
	And maybe you can help me with this.
	Everybody, well, I guess people want to keep talking about the same thing.
	Hey, you know what they did to Trump?
	It was unfair.
	Yeah, I know that.
	You want to talk about that?
	No.
	You want to talk about how they deposited the votes?
	No, not now.
	Yeah, but I want to talk about, isn't it terrible?
	No, I don't want to talk about that.
	That's a different issue completely.
	We're not talking about that.
	But what do we talk about?
	Vision.
	Unless you want to talk about politics.
	Let me try this again, and I'm going to say it again, and please don't...
	Be alarmed if I repeat myself, because I don't think people really get this.
	There's politics, and then there's policy.
	If you want to talk about policy, we can talk about critical race theory.
	Anybody think critical race theory is a good thing to run on?
	Is it important?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	A friend of mine who's a teacher showed me a sample of the handwriting of one of his students.
	I couldn't even guess the language.
	Johnny can't read.
	Johnny can't write.
	Johnny is so gone right now.
	It's not even funny.
	Okay, that's a policy story.
	That's interesting.
	Is that an election story?
	What are we going to do with that?
	Are you going to change that?
	What are you going to do?
	I've got to get people's attention.
	What is it?
	What do I tell people?
	How do I get them to run for me?
	You give them a dream.
	Now, what's going on right now, you talk about what you want.
	You want, remember, you speak as though there is no other party.
	You want people to be able to realize their particular dream, their particular goals, their particular focus, their particular potential, without anything acting as an impediment.
	Sounds pretty good.
	I like that.
	You want a country where we defend you.
	Your life, Your faith, your lifestyle, your politics, your family, your true beliefs.
	We, government, is there to protect you.
	How am I done?
	Go ahead.
	No, I just, I just, that was the LGBT message.
	That was the crime message.
	That was everything rolled up into one.
	What is it, what am I really about?
	I am your public servant.
	I reflect you.
	I don't on my own say, now let's see, what can I do?
	No.
	I say, what do my constituents want?
	What's in it for them?
	What do they want?
	What is it for them?
	You want to talk about war?
	War?
	Wait a minute, hold it.
	Why are we doing this?
	Now, you want to talk about Ukraine?
	Don't talk about Ukraine.
	Don't talk about Russia.
	Talk about the subject matter.
	Right now, this country needs our attention.
	I worry about you and your home and your town.
	I want to make sure we have the best highways, the best streets, the best running water.
	I want our children.
	You keep talking about this.
	Don't mention this here.
	We want to be able to know that our schools are competitive against Schools and school systems around the world.
	This is a new world with a new challenge.
	And the basics are certainly there, but we want to make sure that we equip our children to go out and handle the words and blah blah blah.
	That's it.
	Now, do you want to talk about abortion?
	Okay.
	But don't talk about it too much.
	Talk about this.
	Autonomy.
	Let's talk about autonomy.
	Let's talk about a very, very, very simple thing.
	To make sure that the will of the people, the will of the people, is always appreciated in the construct or the confines or within the parameters of the Constitution.
	Now they say, I don't know about that.
	What was it that destroyed segregation in schools?
	The Constitution.
	What was it that made, gave women the right to vote?
	The Constitution.
	The 19th Amendment.
	What is it that guarantees you from the Constitution?
	Well, yeah.
	What is it that allows you the ability to speak your mind, to vote, to enjoy the friendship?
	The Constitution.
	Now, what did I just say?
	I said the Constitution.
	Later on, you're going to disagree with what the Constitution says, but remind them of that.
	The Constitution's not there for me.
	It's for you.
	It guarantees you.
	And when you leave, you want them to say, damn!
	I love this guy.
	I love what he just...
	I love that word.
	I love that.
	I like what he said.
	And you make sure you say something in such a way that it's susceptible to interpretation by everybody.
	Two people.
	Black and white, gay and straight.
	Blue and red, left and right, can stand next to each other and think you're talking to them.
	That's it.
	Over and over and over and over.
	Take what they do.
	Take.
	Do they really want...
	What is it?
	Do you want to attack?
	Do you want to try to convince the left that guns are good?
	Don't waste your time.
	What's their problem?
	What is it?
	Guns scare them.
	Is it crime?
	Well, not really.
	So what's their beef?
	What's their problem?
	Why don't they want guns?
	What is guns?
	People are killing each other?
	Well, there's a shooting at schools.
	Okay, that's a big one.
	Let's talk about that.
	There was a school shooting recently, right?
	Today?
	Yesterday, okay?
	Okay.
	Let's talk about it.
	What's the best way to handle that?
	You want to address it?
	You want to talk about kids at school?
	I want to talk about school safety.
	Do you?
	I want to talk about school safety.
	Now, tell me who is against school safety.
	I'm going to say something and you tell me, One time that I say anything that the left, because I've got the right, I don't worry about that, that the left can say, school safety.
	I want to make sure that when you send your kids to school, they come home at night.
	Safe, sound, protected.
	I want them to know that their school is like Fort Knox.
	Nothing happens there.
	Now, any problem with that so far?
	Anybody?
	Anybody?
	We're getting there.
	Because they always talk about schools.
	They always talk about schools.
	Sandy Hook or Columbine or whatever.
	It's schools.
	Okay, I'm leading.
	Now, what have I said?
	Well, what I want to do is I want to make sure we have schools that are secure.
	We're going to have metal detectors.
	We're going to have only one entrance in, one way out.
	That's it.
	Door is locked.
	And an armed guard.
	Now, I'm not going to say that.
	I'm not going to tell them that.
	I want them to think I'm talking about guns.
	Am I fooling them?
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	I'm not really fooling them, but I'm making them think that I'm talking about what they want to do.
	Now, what about men competing?
	Do you think that's a big deal for the left?
	Do you think so?
	Biden doesn't talk about it.
	I just Title IX stuff.
	Does Biden really come out and say we're going to have pronouns?
	Not really.
	But they do that.
	How do you handle that?
	See, that's a scary one.
	That's a problem because that sounds too much like something that the right would say.
	Remember, you've got the right.
	They're going to vote for you.
	The left is not going to vote for you.
	But I'm in the middle right now.
	And if I say things too much like, you know, I think a man should be able to compete against a man.
	It sounds like that.
	I don't know.
	Even though they would agree to that.
	Serena Williams retired.
	John McEnroe said she would be 700th if she competed against men.
	Nobody wants to hear that.
	It's true.
	Maybe.
	Nobody wants to hear that.
	You don't bring that up in politics.
	On Fox News, you bring that up.
	On Breitbart, you bring that up.
	That's a policy.
	That's interesting.
	But that's not.
	Fentanyl overdoses.
	By the way, fentanyl, not fentanyl.
	Fentanyl overdoses.
	How about fentanyl that looks like baby?
	Is he talking about that?
	Remember the opioid thing?
	No.
	What about COVID?
	Anybody talking about COVID?
	No.
	The message has to be Geared so that you don't trigger them.
	Because remember something.
	Let me rephrase this.
	We live in a world of anxiety.
	I have heard the word anxiety more in the past six months than I have in my entire life.
	Why is that?
	Why are people more anxious?
	Do you have children who are anxious?
	Are you anxious?
	Are you on medication?
	Do you have a child as if my child has anxiety?
	My child has anxiety.
	It's got an anxiety problem.
	I heard somebody say the other day their dog had anxiety.
	Their dog had anxiety.
	This word is everywhere.
	Okay, what are you going to do?
	Fight it?
	No.
	Use it.
	It's ammunition.
	Ammunition.
	What is it?
	Fear.
	Fear is cool.
	They're handing the Republicans a chance to do something.
	Act like the father.
	Act like the protector.
	They're scaredy cats.
	All these people.
	Look at them.
	And then, I would really target my message.
	Imagine, here's Trump.
	He walks out.
	Everybody walks out.
	And he's going to say something.
	What are you going to say?
	Three things he promised.
	Drain the swamp, lock her up, and build the wall.
	Didn't do any of that.
	Well, they built the wall, but part of it.
	That's okay.
	And that was great then, and that worked.
	Can't do that anymore.
	What are you going to say now?
	What's the main thing?
	My message would be, you talk all you want, Trump, about this.
	I want to talk to you who have never voted or you say to yourself, does it matter?
	It doesn't matter.
	And I don't blame you.
	I know exactly how you feel.
	Identification.
	He identifies with me.
	Think about this.
	What am I trying to do?
	I'm trying to get the undecided, uncommitted, on the fence.
	So what am I saying?
	I talk about the vote itself.
	I know exactly what you're feeling.
	Why bother?
	Why bother?
	What am I doing?
	What's this about?
	Every time you speak, target.
	Target it.
	So that you say, wow.
	Wow.
	I know I'm wasting my time, but does it stop me?
	I've wasted my time.
	With a lot of stuff.
	My ideas always prove true.
	But maybe not in my lifetime.
	But what I'm saying is absolutely correct.
	Absolutely correct.
	You want people to understand you're always preaching to that person.
	Whenever you speak, you always, you don't waste any time.
	And here is the most important.
	Mr. President.
	Or DeSantis, or anybody for that matter.
	Stop running an election like a roast.
	Funny jokes, quips.
	I'll tell you one thing, I'll see Hillary Clinton locked up in chains.
	Enough with Hillary Clinton.
	She's nowhere to be...
	Forget Hillary Clinton.
	Forget it.
	It's not a roast.
	Boy, those lefties, woke...
	Don't say woke.
	Don't say woke.
	They think you're talking about them.
	Why are you...
	Well, it's a Republican rally.
	Stop talking to your rally.
	You already have them.
	Other people are listening.
	Stop saying woke.
	Stop saying, you know, whatever.
	These people who don't vote for you aren't necessarily, you want to win them over.
	There's no thinking about that.
	There's no thinking ahead of time.
	It's all this, and you have to, let me tell you something.
	Look at this.
	I went back.
	This is 538.
	I know people dismiss it.
	I get an idea of what they're saying.
	This is what the enemy is saying.
	You want to call them the enemy?
	Why conservative voters support liberal ballot measures?
	Interesting.
	What's driving Biden's approval rating up?
	Explore the ways Republicans or Democrats could win the midterms.
	Why Sarah Palin lost?
	Now this is obviously skewed even better.
	They're giving you the intel.
	They're letting you know what they're thinking.
	They're telling you.
	They're telling you right now.
	Right now, the house forecast updated September 3rd.
	Uh...
	75, 25. Republicans are looking better.
	Republicans...
	Democrats winning.
	Democrats could very well win the Senate.
	Watch this.
	Look at the numbers.
	Now remember, always balance.
	Always balance.
	Always look at the information and say, okay, I understand where it's coming from, but listen to what they're saying.
	Why are they saying this?
	It's like when you...
	I've never run out of gas in my life.
	Never.
	I've never run out of gas in a car.
	Figuratively, another story, but I've never run out of gas.
	And when the gas light comes on, people will say, well, it's on E, but the red light hasn't come on.
	That hasn't come on yet.
	So you're always gauging it.
	What is that check engine?
	Oh, it's an idiot line.
	It comes on every whatever miles.
	Don't worry about it.
	You're always looking at the data and then you're weighing it.
	What does that mean?
	Well, it's hard to say.
	Do you ever get on a scale and you move it?
	That's right.
	This thing is way off.
	Well, I'm wearing too many clothes.
	Then you get nude and the people in the drugstore scream because there you are.
	But you move it.
	Move it over here.
	Move it against.
	Okay, what about now?
	Oh, see?
	Half a pound.
	See?
	It was not balanced.
	Then digital scales came in.
	Did you ever move around on a scale to get a better reading?
	That's better.
	That's better.
	I like that.
	What you're doing is, you're looking at the metrics.
	You don't care what's true.
	You want the number to be, I like this number better.
	I like this one.
	So that's what people do with numbers.
	Well, don't worry about it.
	There's this friend of mine, he always says the same thing.
	I listen to what he says and I reject it.
	And he and I agree.
	That's the best part.
	We agree politically.
	Number one, he said, whatever Trump does is because he's a genius.
	He knows things better than you do.
	And that's what got him to win the White House in the first place.
	Okay.
	Number two, don't believe anything you read because he's far more powerful than people think and doing much better.
	Okay, fine.
	There is, oh, oh, nobody holds him responsible for January 6th or anything because he's ever been arrested.
	He won't be arrested.
	That's a waste of time.
	Oh, oh, and actually, this is my favorite, actually, the numbers are going up.
	That people, that Trump is actually gaining fans.
	By virtue of the number of people who are seeing this because they feel that he's being mistreated.
	I don't know where that one comes from.
	People have a collective feeling of like a belief about something.
	It's almost like a folklore.
	It just keeps adding and adding and it keeps coming on and you keep hearing about it and you keep saying it and you keep repeating it and you keep...
	The other day, somebody said, oh look, it's a full moon.
	Be careful.
	They're still saying that full moon business.
	Some kind of weird lycanthropy reference.
	I guess the full moon, well you know what they say about the full moon and crime and everything?
	Okay.
	This is what people are saying.
	People repeat things.
	There's these themes that they say.
	And when you see nothing but hear nothing about Trump, Search warrant.
	Police.
	Items.
	These people are not pouring over this.
	They're not watching Victor Davis Hanson.
	They're not listening to Jonathan Turley.
	They're not.
	They're not listening to Dershowitz.
	Anybody.
	They're not.
	They have a very quick kind of a drive-by.
	Kind of a double-parked headline only.
	And it's negative, negative, negative, negative.
	And it pushes this down.
	So you've got to go out there and you've got to counter that.
	By what?
	Ignoring it.
	Now right now, I'll bet you everyone that I'm talking to right now, by the way, would appreciate more of your likes, as I said before.
	I know you're probably going to vote Republican.
	I'm just guessing.
	I certainly am.
	Because the Democratic Party that I knew growing up, I don't know where it is now.
	And I'm not a Republican, but at least I know I can kind of gauge it better.
	Democrats have no...
	Remember, it's like being at the world's worst buffet.
	I'm hungry.
	This is horrible.
	This I can stomach.
	I'm not crazy about it, but that's a Republican party.
	They offer nothing to me.
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	They talk a good game and they...
	Whatever.
	And there are some very interesting things.
	Ron DeSantis is very interesting.
	And if he can survive outside of Florida, let's see how he does.
	And the nationwide, I don't know about that.
	We'll see.
	We'll see.
	People are very interesting.
	He'll find this.
	He'll find out.
	But I believe in the message.
	And I want to win this.
	And I find the politics.
	More interesting.
	I have yet to spend any appreciable amount of time trying to understand.
	I wonder why confusing children as to gender is a bad idea.
	I've never asked that question.
	I've never asked that question.
	I got it.
	I understand it.
	I understand why.
	There's no reason for me to even...
	Be discussing that.
	There's just no use.
	There's no...
	I have no interest in arguing this morning.
	I don't need to hear Jadrools speak to me about the obvious.
	Or some smart aleck.
	Make fun.
	I don't need a meme.
	I don't need...
	I understand Joe is old and he's befuddled.
	I got it.
	I understand it.
	It's kind of cute.
	Political cartoons.
	I want to win because I am absolutely petrified what's happening not only to this country, but happening to the world.
	Now, if you want to get petrified, if you are a parent and you have small children, or you're a grandparent, and you have young, beautiful, impressionable, innocent, precious grandchildren, you should be freaked out and not able to sleep.
	I implore, I beseech, I entreat, I importune, I beg, I ask, I implore you to go to Lynn's Warriors YouTube channel and see this incredible body of work and these issues regarding children that for some reason or another will never figure out why they're being ignored altogether.
	Please follow her on Twitter at Lynn's underscore Warriors at Twitter.
	I'm at Lionel Media.
	And until then, until then, until then next time, remember, preparewithlionel.com, promo code Lionel for mypillow.com, and support us, continue our fight, we wish you the best, have a great and a glorious, tomorrow's Labor Day, what does that mean?
	Who knows?
	We'll talk then, until then, until tomorrow, 9 a.m. Eastern Time, the monkey's dead, the show's over.
	See ya!
