Good day, my friends.
This is Labor Day.
2022.
A day which, theoretically, I guess, I guess, I would imagine, celebrates that of labor.
In a world where we live now, where we have remote labor, we have this kind of a constructive quitting when people are not showing back to work.
When Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs and places that people used to claw to enjoy a position now are saying, you better come back or you're going to lose your job.
Nah, we don't want to.
We're not interested.
Anyway, it's Labor Day.
And we have so much to discuss.
And of course, we're going to discuss it now.
And we're going to be looking at something like nobody else does.
Because I am not here to repeat the stories that folks are talking about in a way that's kind of cool and groovy.
I'm not into that.
I'm not here to repeat and to show you, hey, so-and-so said something that was really crazy and stupid.
Well, unless it's important or critical, that's not what I'm about.
I'm not interested in that.
I want you to think.
And I want you to understand how I see the world.
And I don't care who's offended, who likes it, if this is...
Part of the party line?
I don't know.
Though we must begin.
First, let me tell you, thank you, thank you, thank you for your support.
As you know, and as I've said, our particular channel here has been demonetized for reasons that I don't know.
There's no indictment, no charging instrument, no affidavit, no bill in particular.
There's nothing to indicate what I have done to in any way transgress or violate any particular rules, but as such, we depend upon you for your support.
And your admiration and your collective statement.
So if you continue to support us, we thank you.
And if you would like to, you have means that are listed right here in the description section.
Whether it's PayPal or Patreon or Cash App or Venmo or whatever you'd like, there it is.
And we thank you.
Up to and including Filipino cougarands, Bitcoin, crypto, checks, cash, wampum, soldi, and S&H green stamps.
We always appreciate those as well.
Next, a word from our sponsor.
This is very, very important, very, very critical.
Two things I want to tell you.
Number one, the people that make us, the people that do this.
First of all, My Patriot Supply.
There was a piece I saw from a conservative news source that said, It's Labor Day.
Thank God for our truckers.
There was a trucker shortage recently.
There was a trucker strike.
There was a trucker crisis.
What happened to that?
It was in Canada.
It was here.
There was one Saturday where we said, hey, the truckers are going to be driving through New Jersey.
And then, poof, it's just forgotten.
And right now we are facing a world shortage.
Do you watch international news?
I hope you do.
And it's everywhere.
Food shortages.
Supply chain breakdowns.
That hasn't gone away.
The domino effect on everything.
Food production.
But production, harvesting, transportation, broadcasting the food, so to speak.
Farmers can't plant as many crops now because of fertilizer shortages.
Are you reading about how they're having to sell off cattle?
There's a domino effect on everything.
But we have ESG problems.
We have this world economic farm business.
Forest regulations.
Higher fuel prices.
I don't know where people are saying, oh, the prices are tumbling, the gas.
No, they're not!
Food takes time to grow.
It is a staggered process.
And anything that interrupts it affects you.
And anything can shut this down.
And why should you be afraid?
When you have elections coming, the timing of shortages, the timing of crises, all of this can be played and manipulated.
You know it.
And I know it.
That's why you need to prepare right now with PrepareWithLionel.com.
Prepare for an increasing number of food shortages.
And the best bet right now is Ready Hour Emergency Food from My Patriot Supply.
Simply the best.
It's a perfect hedge against skyrocketing prices and shortages.
And I'm telling you, two months and two midterms, and then 2024, and a lot of calamity.
And God knows they love calamity.
That's why you must...
Commit this to memory.
Write this down.
Prick your finger and write it in blood.
Doesn't matter.
Prepare with Lionel.com.
And right now, you can save $50.
$50 on a four-week food kit to get you started.

Shouldn't you?

Be very afraid.
This is not just an exaggeration.

Today is Labor Day.
When I was a kid, Labor Day meant one thing.
Jerry Lewis.
Greatest entertainment I've ever seen in my life.
I love Jerry.
I loved it.
I think Jerry Lewis was one of the most unfunny, obnoxious people who has ever lived.
He was, whatever he did, notwithstanding his kids and his wonderful philanthropic events and efforts, he was disgustingly obnoxious in ways that I can't even begin.
I can't even begin to explain in any appreciable way whatsoever.
But, it was great then and now we have nothing.
We have nothing.
And today, I want to go over a few things with you.
And the first thing I want to do is to tell you right now, if you were easily offended, you're not going to like today's show.
And there are so many people I know who are so easily offended.
Oh my God, they are so...
We live in a cult of personality and not a cult of ideas.
A cult of ideas.
Everybody has their favorite person.
And I don't know where to start.
There are these people who have this affection towards President Trump In ways that I can't understand.
And they get offended if you say something bad about their boyfriend.
Let me give you an example.
The Hill reports that Trump accused Fox News of pushing a Democratic agenda while offering to help rival network CNN become a goldmine by going conservative.
Now, He's absolutely correct, but that won't get him re-elected.
And this is not what a man who wants to be president again talks about.
What he is saying, let me translate it, is Fox News is not being favorable enough to him.
To him.
It's about him.
Not about the cause, not about conservatism, not about 2024, not about...
Making America great.
No, no, no.
It's him.
And you, when I say you, let me stop saying you.
The American public, a lot of them love that because to them, it's their boyfriend.
Some of the most inane drivel I've heard that I just do not understand.
The subject matter.
And if I talk about the subject matter, the retort is the people.
I just did a piece right now, but I mentioned three or four different names that people love.
And the response is awful.
It's like, that's my boyfriend you're talking about.
And I said, yeah, but do you understand what they're saying?
I don't care what they're saying.
It's a cult of personality.
I like that guy.
That guy is my favorite.
This is where we are right now.
This is where we are.
I mentioned something the other day.
Neil deGrasse Tyson said something which was the most...
It's just...
I like him.
What do you mean like him?
It's not liking him.
What about what he said?
I don't know what he said, but I like him.
Jordan Peterson.
I could go on and on about it.
Ben Shapiro.
This is...
This is becoming, and to an extent, and I say this with all due respect because I think the world of him, Joe Rogan is now, it's a celebration of the personality and not the idea.
Let's take a person who is not very exciting at all, but is one of the most important voices, believe it or not, is Victor Davis Hanson.
And he is not exciting.
He doesn't say the F-bomb every five words.
He doesn't do it.
Putting him on a TV show is like putting Mozart at halftime at the Super Bowl.
It's the wrong crowd.
They don't understand what he's talking about.
It's this, okay, let's do our piece right now.
There's a wonderful piece.
Oh, my God.
It's from tackymag.com.
It's wonderful.
American greatness is great.
American thinker is terrific.
Global researcher, they have these great ideas.
I don't know who the person is per se, but it involves reading.
And we're not there.
We're not there.
We're unable to handle this.
And if you try to go on and you try to explain, well, let me show...
If you want to go on a TV show, I guess, you have to drop it down to like a sixth grade level.
The ability right now to utilize language is so important, so critical in terms of how it completely destroys how it destroys investigation of a claim.
It is so important.
For example, the word denier.
Denier is the conspiracy theory of Denier.
You're a climate denier.
Now think about that.
I...
Nobody's denying climate.
That's not even the point.
But if you say something, if you tangle, if you wade into, if you roam out of the corralled field and you go into the next...
If you break the pen, the paddock, if you go over the line and you're into this area that we don't talk about, you're going to get a name.
You're a conspiracy theorist.
You're a climate denier.
You're an election denier.
You're a climate denier.
It's wonderful.
And once it hits, it changes the way people think.
Racist.
It stultifies you.
It paralyzes you.
It's the, oh no, whatever you do.
Instead of saying, no, it's not racism.
No, it's all we care about.
And the words themselves are so critical.
Now try, dare I say, good luck.
Good luck.
Going on to the most popular programs today and spending 20 minutes talking about The epistemology of labeling, appellations, taxonomy of words, nomenclature, shibboleths, the argo, good luck.
It's the most important language, but we live in a world of very simple people who only want their information in very simple ways.
One-minute packages.
Hi, good morning.
Happy Labor Day.
We're sure having fun, aren't we?
God bless America.
Isn't America great?
Isn't it great?
We're having so much fun.
I love our troops.
I do.
I just do.
I love our country.
Don't you love our country?
You better believe it.
I've got my red, white, and blue socks on.
Do you?
I sure do.
Today, we've got Hambone Hush Puppy.
He's our faux country music star.
He's in the courtyard outside.
He's got a big hat.
He's got a big hat.
Yeah, yeah.
He sure is.
He's a country man.
Because we love country music because it's about God and country and guns and the Bible and Jesus.
We love it.
You happy with that one?
And that's about as deep as it goes.
Okay, so that's what it's about.
Is that your conservatism?
It sure is.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
And President Trump is still talking about, well, we don't know whether we want to talk about him.
Well, we got a bunch of lawsuits going on.
So we got to be very careful with him because he gets us in their trouble.
You know, they...
Okay, all right.
Okay.
All righty.
And I think it's important for us to say, are you sure you know what you're talking about?
Yes, I am.
And what exactly qualifies you to be a political pundit regarding this?
Have you?
You're 24 years old now.
I see.
Alrighty.
Now, here's one which I thought was so perfect.
And it's, I put it on Twitter, it's Two Sock Puppets.
And I'm a conservative South Club of media pundits seen here dissecting the latest accusations and allegations anent in proper DOJ seizures of unclassified presidential property.
Note the scintillating complexity of the arguments advanced and the novelty of the solutions proposed.
Can't read translation.
Nothing!
Let's right now go to our legal correspondent.
Rip Rock, a member from the Flintstones, who said, so these are, President Trump did not do anything wrong, did he?
No.
Thank you so much.
Let's go back outside and talk to our hush puppy, Hambone, who's going to be playing his song, Get Off My Flag, or I'll, you know, just, that's it.
That's the, that's it.
And here's my news source.
I've got a guy saying something stupid.
Did you see this?
I know people who spend their entire time going through the CNN, whatever, it used to be CNN.
By the way, CNN is just completely just imploding.
And I have a picture of a guy wearing a funny shirt saying something stupid.
I'm going, I don't care about that.
But I'm in the minority.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Now, Liz Truss won the PM after winning the Tory Leader Contest.
She's a PM.
She's a Prime Minister.
And this is a story you must understand.
She is the leader.
And as we speak, as we speak, she beat Rishi Sunak.
And I can't wait to hear the commentary regarding what that means.
Is she a conservative?
Does she like country music?
Well, I don't know about that.
No, she likes their country music.
Actually, she's a Tory?
Like Tory spelling?
Tori?
Watch foreign.
Wion has a great take on that.
Because see, he was an Indian.
And there's a Rishi Sunak.
I don't know if we want him.
And then they have things like, for example, well, you know, he might have been.
Is he really posh?
Is he posh?
Did he go to Eaton?
Did he do this?
Well, he wasn't, but he's got money.
Can you imagine us talking about the hair?
We don't care about that.
And Boris Johnson, by the way, brought down, brought down, brought down by virtue of him going to a party during COVID broke.
I mean, this is like another world.
But she's very important to see what happens.
Remember, watch with the UK.
This is the finance capital, sort of, of Europe, obviously, and the world.
And expect...
Absolutely no particular coverage or depth here because frankly it's beyond anything anybody has ever seen before.
Next, I talked about something and I have a dear friend of mine.
I have a lot of friends and I often reference them and I said, you know, the American medical community has absolutely no guts whatsoever.
When was the last time, think about this, that your doctor ever stood up for your rights to choose a particular course of health treatment and prevention?
Never!
They will never give up The bottom line.
Never.
I asked a friend of mine who recently had a stent put into his heart.
I said, did your doctor talk to you about diet?
He said, nope.
Never.
Why?
Well, you're not going to make a lot of money prescribing kale, okay?
You notice how we also love in this country now to talk about what makes a man?
What makes a man?
Well, I'm a man because I've got a hot girlfriend and I curse a lot and I lick salt and I work out and squat.
And that's a male.
That's a man.
Okay.
Now, is there anybody I ask here?
Within the sound of my voice, who has the wherewithal and the guts to advise President Trump on how to win the election?
Because whoever is attempting to do that job is now failing miserably.
Do you get as much mail from the...
I'm getting...
Everybody's asking me for money for the president.
They say, well, are you running?
What do you want?
Where's this going?
Help me.
Help you what?
Kimberly Guilfoyle's asking for money.
Okay.
Why not?
Gotta justify those salaries, I guess.
And by the way, is this money that I'm giving going to her salary?
I don't want to be...
What do you want?
What do I get for this?
I don't know.
Now, again, remember, I'm asking questions that nobody seems to want to know.
Now, again, this great article is called Biden Declares War.
This is from Taki Mag.
T-A-K-I Mag.
And it talks about the con men and the carny barkers of the faux GOP inner party.
Remember 1984?
How many folks have never read 1984?
Everybody.
Okay.
Nobody's read Ayn Rand, too.
You notice that?
Oh, Ayn Rand.
You never read it.
You don't read The Economist.
You don't read Ayn Rand.
You don't read these things.
You say you do.
You think you did.
Maybe in a prior life, but you really don't.
But anyway, The con men and carny barkers of the faux GOP inner party who compose synthetic conservatism have been at war with the MAGA crowd for more than six years.
The entire context of who the political combatants are is missed altogether.
President Trump's biggest enemies, if you will, come from the Republican Party, not the Democrats.
Good luck with that one.
Here's a story.
The Islamic Republic of Iran imposed the death penalty on two LGBTQ activists for allegedly promoting homosexuality.
This is according to the human rights organization Hengor.
The story is important, not their pronouns.
Anybody from the LGBTQIA, please, 2SL, 2Spirit, the 2SLGBTQIA plus group.
Anybody talking about that?
Now, I don't know about you, but if I'm a 2SLGBTQIA plus activist, and there are people being killed in a country because they're gay, I'm going to be at the embassy, I'm going to be everywhere.
Not here.
Why do you think that is?
Well, because they're too busy on pink news talking about why boy George shouldn't be the It's alleged, shouldn't be the RuPaul drag show or whatever, because he has mocked pronoun use.
That's a big deal.
But this, nothing.
Now, you see what's happening?
Do you know that what I have just told you, what I have just said to you, what I have just reported to you, what I have just said in the past...
Twenty-two and a half minutes would never, ever be allowed on anything that is considered a conservative platform.
And the reason for that is simple.
It might be because it's boring.
I'm not kidding myself.
I might be kidding myself.
I might be thinking it's really that great.
People are saying, no, it's really not that great.
It's kind of boring.
You're really boring.
That could be.
And I always look at that as an example.
But I don't think so.
I don't think that's the reason why.
Something tells me no.
Should I go on?
Here's some other news.
Here's a question for you.
This may seem inconceivable, and I love to be sitting on a couch with people like, good morning, how are you?
May I ask a question?
This may seem inconceivable to you, but there are many Americans who think that Joe Biden has done a decent job.
So tell me, how do you plan to...
Address and refute that?
By name-calling?
Or maybe you have a nice gif you'd like to post.
How do you refute that?
Anybody?
What exactly are you going to do to deal with it?
Good luck.
Now, all Republican rallies...
All of them must center around the future and positive worldview.
Let me say that again.
All Republican rallies, this is you, President Trump, all rallies must center around the future with a positive worldview.
Vote for us because of this.
Not a roast.
And if you're going to go out to help Dr. Oz, I wouldn't.
Dr. Oz.
I'm going to say something, and you're not going to like it, but I'm going to say it.
Sometimes a kid needs to burn his hand to understand what mommy is warning about.
Don't touch that, that's hot!
What's this hot business you keep talking about?
Come on, I'm a kid.
Alright, go ahead.
Ow!
See?
That's Dr. Oz.
See?
This Fetterman, whatever this guy.
He's going to lose.
To this guy?
See?
You pick him?
Because he's a cool guy.
He's an Oprah clone.
But anyway, all Republican rallies must center around the future and a positive worldview.
As in something to vote for.
Not the consistently mind-numbing rehashing of FBI treachery.
Illegal warrants.
Stolen elections.
Those issues are critical, but not for the hustings.
What the hustings are?
Why do you do that?
Why are you doing that?
Why?
Why?
He goes out and he talks for two hours.
He doesn't even mention Oz.
He talks about CNN.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Now here's one for you.
And this is something which I promise you nobody's talking about, nobody cares about.
And if you listen to me, you are smart and you will pay close, close, close attention as to what I'm saying.
Alright?
Listen carefully.
teleological presentism teleological presentism teleological presentism Or presentism.
Depends upon the syllable.
Have you heard of that one?
Have you heard about that one?
Can we talk about that?
You want to talk about it?
Who?
Who's that?
Television?
I'm sorry.
Hang on.
We're going to go back outside and we're going to hear Hush Puppy Cornwash sing his new hit, I Love My Flag.
Oh, you already said it?
Well, let's play it again.
Nobody remembers it.
They all sound like it anyway.
And we'll get back to that.
What was that called?
What was that called again?
Teleological presentism.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
Well, here we go.
Let me tell you what it is.
And this is something which is so interesting.
Again, it's language and it's beautiful.
Teleological presentism is nonsense theorizing.
That denotes looking at the past through a lens of current moral, social, or political judgments.
For example, the 1619 Project, which argues that slavery is the central and most important event in American history.
It's brilliant!
Brilliant!
And teleological presentism is eventually going to go to something which denotes as follows.
You are going to see people one day claim that there has been a gender-based lunacy and that this must replace slavery.
As the center, most important part of our collective history.
Gender...
Almost like a...
Like a historical dysmorphia.
You know where we look at...
So we're going to change that.
Do you think I'm kidding?
Wait till you see the next pope.
Get ready, because Frank's on his way out.
Frank the Pope.
You may not care, but the Pope is very important.
You say, you know, my legs are hurting me.
Really?
Remember J.P. Deuce?
Remember the first guy?
This guy was hanging on by a thread.
Remember that one?
Remember that guy?
This is a lot to cover.
Fox News had a good one.
This Labor Day, a grateful nod to the long-haul truckers.
God bless truckers.
Who bring our food.
That's why with Prepare with Lionel, I'm not kidding you.
But you know, the problem is that truckers are among the key American workers who keep our country moving.
And I'm not saying that just because I'm, you know, it's true.
Yet American stock public media will give them three days of coverage tops as to any event or critical moment affecting their profession, as this is the maximum range of our attention span.
And that's a God's honest truth.
If you got it, a truck brought it.
And what is going to happen, and it's going to happen, when truckers go all autonomous vehicles.
You're going to see this.
AI.
AI, robotics, and driverless vehicles.
You're going to see just a vehicle go down the highway with no driver.
And it's going to freak people out.
They might have a cab or something to hold the guts.
Maybe a...
A mannequin.
What are you going to do then?
No time constraints.
24 hours.
No ICC or whatever it is.
No logs.
It'll all be mechanized.
All in telemetry.
All weighed.
No reason to pull over and weigh.
What's going to happen then?
There'll be accidents.
But your efficiency...
Hi, I'm Jeff Bezos and I own Amazon.
You know before when it took you a day to get it?
You'll get it in an hour.
Why?
Because we don't have truckers anymore.
We got everything.
We got everything.
Don't worry about this.
And then you can have warehouses that are 24 hours a day in complete darkness.
Freezing.
Sub-zero freezing.
Can't be cold enough where the robots and the AI, artificial intelligence and robots, will take everything and no workers whatsoever.
Do you go to a CVS?
The other day I went to a CVS store and he had a young man who was like this.
Listen to this.
He's got his...
He's got his mask underneath his nose.
I don't understand what that means or what the purpose is.
And he's like this.
Just like that.
Doing nothing.
Standing there.
And then when you check out, he says, leading us to the gallows, pointing to the gallows, his job, sending us.
And it doesn't work.
And you've got to call for assistance.
And he has to put his phone down.
Hey, over here.
You want to help us with this?
You go to the store now.
We go to our grocery store.
And where's the big line?
They pull you over there.
Go over.
Check out over there.
Check out over there.
Have you ever seen this device where they say, put it in the bagging area.
And you will get something that weighs nothing.
Remember these cool mints?
These little, put them in your tongue.
I don't know if they make them anymore, but I found a bunch of them, and I like them.
Anyway, you put this, you buy one of these, you scan it, and you put it on the bagging area, and it's not heavy enough to register.
And, please place it in the bagging area.
I am putting it in the bagging area.
You schmuck, it doesn't fit.
We're calling the assistant.
What is it?
And this one comes over with a two mask.
I can't understand you.
Listen, boy, the bubble.
I can't talk to you.
There's no...
But this is the future.
Everything.
Everything.
Anybody ready for this?
Are you ready for this?
Food stores are the only things online.
And you're going to go in, as Amazon did, and you're going to have a phone, and you're going to put everything in your bag, and when you walk out, it will just be registered.
That's it.
It will...
Break a beam or something.
You just walk out and it automatically charges it.
And then as soon as you take something, it'll be replenished.
And that's it.
There is nobody working there.
There is nobody there.
There's not the lady.
When you were a kid, remember there was the lady that worked out?
She was the one checking.
Remember the old days?
We saw...
Remember those YouTube channels?
How to be a great checkout woman and the attitude.
Everything is changing.
So truckers, You're going to lose your job.
You're going to lose...
They want this because of not AI per se, robotics, but a combination thereof.
And it may be more...
You know what?
It may very well be better.
It may very well be better for society.
I don't know.
It might be a better thing.
I don't want to tell you.
But what I'm telling you is that when you do these gratuitous little stupid...
And we thank our truck drivers.
Listen to the great truck driving music.
Red Sovine.
The greatest.
Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around.
Phantom 309.
Giddy Up Go Daddy.
Teddy Bear.
Remember that honey we played Red Sovine for you?
All those old...
It's just...
Hello, truckers.
Go ahead, teddy bear.
I wish I could drive with you in your truck, but I'm a little bored.
I got my legs all crippled up, but I'm not here at my 20. And my daddy died, and he was going to give me that truck, and he took me on that 18-wheeler truck ride, but I can't because he's dead, and I'm crippled.
Well, good truckers, I hate to talk to you now.
I know you're busy.
But if you're ever around this 20, come on and see me.
You know it.
This is Teddy Bear.
Little crippled child with a father.
And all of a sudden I said, break one iron.
Tell me again you're 20, little buddy.
It's 123 Maple Street.
Well, you hang on there, little buddy.
I'm going to turn this rig around and, well, this...
Hot reefer, whatever it's called, and loads of hot bubbles going to have to wait because I'm going to come back to your house.
And as I turned down that street, I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw more truckers lined up, getting that crippled boy down off that truck and lifting him back, and then we'd drive him around.
And as I drove off, His mama got on the air and said, Hello, truckers.
This is Mama Bear.
And I just want you to know you made old teddy bear.
Oh, I mean, what about...
Was it Gideon?
No, what is it?
Where...
Oh, God.
He sees a kid standing with flowers.
And...
Well, again, these kids are being picked up by truckers.
I don't know what's going on there.
This was written at the time back.
Where are you going, little buddy?
Well, sir, I'm just going to go see my mama.
Come on, get in here and I'll take you to your mama.
Anyway, it's a cemetery.
So he turns around, again, foregoing the load, the frozen concentrate or whatever he's delivering.
Screw that.
I'm going to go see my mama.
I mean, Phantom, was it 309 about the trucker that goes off a bridge to save the school bus?
You don't write that!
C.W. McCall?
That's nothing!
C.W. McCall's for babies.
Come on, breaker.
Come on.
We got a convoy.
What a beautiful sight.
Come on.
That's nothing.
Red Sovine is brutal.
How about Dale Watson?
The truck driver man with a one-arm tan from his arm out the window.
Oh, God.
Truck drivers.
It's just the one.
I got a Friedlander fever.
I think it's Red Sovine again.
Red Sovine is it.
He's it.
They know there's train songs, but you know what there's not?
There's no bus songs.
Think about that.
There's no bus songs.
The only bus song I know, country music song, I know is Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone.
I think it's Roy Clark.
Like, God and Greyhound, you're gone.
There's no bus.
Now, there's a bus on the road again.
You know, they're on the bus.
But no, no, no, no, no.
I mean, have you been on a bus lately?
Have you ever been to the Port Authority?
Have you ever gone to Philly and taken a Greyhound?
Dear God.
Oh my God.
Go to Philly.
Take a Greyhound into the Port Authority from the Philly Depot, whatever it is, to New York.
You will question the existence of God.
You will question the existence of God.
Now, by the way, Boxcar Willie was excellent.
Jimmy Rogers is really the father.
Not Honeycomb.
No, no, no.
Jimmy Rogers, the original one.
The Break Man.
He is the father of country music.
Really and truly.
He did it.
Roy Acuff.
Listen to the dream of the rumble and the roar of the Wabash Cannonball.
I've been everywhere.
Well, I don't know if that's it.
Anyway, I love those songs.
I love the, uh, just that American, the truck driver, and the, oh!
Eastbound and down, loaded up and truck, and, you know, come on, remember that?
Remember Coors, all for Coors?
Now, pfft, we got Coors, doesn't matter.
That's all gone.
That's gone.
Magic Bus, very good.
Very good, Smokey.
Magic bus, but I don't know.
And also, Ken Kesey, remember the acid test?
Anyway, it's worth a show.
By the way, coming up, now this is very, very strange.
You know, speaking of America, our good buddy, Mike Lindell, from MyPillow.com.
Right now with the biggest pillow, biggest bed sheet sale in MyPillow history, percale and geezer dreams!

We're going to talk about Bed Bath& Beyond.
Because remember that?
They wimped out, pushed old Mike out.
I'll never forget that.
I will.
I don't forget anything.
I don't forget what Dr. Oz did to Roseanne.
I don't forget what anybody did to Roseanne.
I just don't forget.
I don't forget.
And I love Mike Lindell.
And I love MyPillow.
We are MyPillow home.
We got slippers.
We got toppers.

How about the waffle blanket?
You know what I want?
I want that chenille blanket.
Remember when you were a kid, you go to your grandmother's and you fall asleep on it, and you wake up with this, you look like you went through a windshield, all that chenille scarring, momentary, mind you.
Giza cotton pillowcases.
I can go on.
Look at this, MyPillow.com slash Lionel.
MyPillow.com slash Lionel.
This is so simple.
What do you...
Here, look at this.
Look, look, look.
Right there.
Go there.
Just...
That's it.

And support a Merc.
MyPillow.com.
Promo code Lionel.
Bless his heart.
God, I love that guy.
I've never met him, but I want to.
I really want to meet him.
That's it.
I don't want to meet anybody.
I mean, he's a star as far as I'm concerned, but I'm not into, you know, the folks that you would care about.
In any event, thank you for that.
I appreciate it.
MyPillow.com, promo code LANL, or Lionel, as some people call me.
I don't know why they do that, but they do that.
Lionel.
Now, here's a story for you.
Did you hear about this fellow speaking of which?
Gustavo Arnel.
He was facing a $1.2 billion stock suit, when lo and behold, he's...
Jumps out of a window.
Now, hang on now.
Hang on.
Wobill.
Wobill.
Now, let's just imagine and assume arguendo.
You know what arguendo is?
It's a big legal term.
Assume arguendo.
Your Honor, assume arguendo for the sake of argument.
Arguendo, not innuendo.
Innuendo is an Italian suppository.
Anyway, but let's assume and imagine arguendo that This poor BBB, Bed Bath& Beyond Saul, was not pushed, but defenestrated.
What?
Defenestrated.
What is fenestration?
Fenestration, by the way, comes from, this is from the Prague, from the 17th century, where somebody was thrown out the window.
Fenestration is when you put flowers around a window, and fenestration is also when the brain surgery and the semicircular, you make up, anyway.
Defenestrated means to throw out of a window.
Jumping out of a window, there's no word.
To be thrown out is defenestrated, but there's no fenestration.
And let's further assume, hypothetically, that he becomes the, here comes the pun, the fall guy in any subsequent suits.
Well, I'd love for you to have the lawsuit, but it's him.
I didn't do it.
He did it.
Oh.
Where is he?
Oh.
That would sure tidy things up, wouldn't it?
Now, if this was Russia, you know who they'd blame.
But when it comes to us, no, we don't.
No.
Take this fact, put the word Russia there, it changes everything.
Think about that.
Now, by the way, have you seen...
There's so much good.
Remember, streaming, streaming, streaming, streaming.
That's where it is.
That's where it is.
And there was a great special on Discovery Plus called The Diana Investigations.
The Diana Investigations.
This is a docu-series on Discovery Plus.
Most excellent.
And it goes as far as possible without saying that she was flat-out murdered.
But no investigation as to anything today will go anywhere because of your trained refusal to believe in dread conspiracies.
You are trained.
You are forced to not believe in them.
These are anathema to you.
You are trained.
American law enforcement agencies will never do anything.
To allow their image and public perception to be tarnished.
Once a narrative is locked on, it is maintained and defended furiously.
Tell me, I'll bet you still believe David Berkowitz is the son of Sam, who acted alone, right?
You still believe that.
That's what you believe, because you're told that.
You don't want to hear anything, anything else.
Americans are very squeamish about alleging or even suspecting federal agencies of corruption and complicity.
Look no further than the incestuous relationship with Whitey Bulger.
Remember Joe the Animal Barboza?
Anybody from Boston?
Remember this guy?
From the Patriarchs?
Remember him?
How about Greg the Grim Reaper Scarpa?
Lindel Vecchio?
Remember that one?
No.
No.
See, because this goes contrary to the notion of what you were told to believe.
You see, let me explain something to you.
And I'm sure you know this, and listen carefully.
Let me also tell you, you must, you must like this more.
These likes are pathetic.
Now, I know you know better than that.
I know you don't realize it, but it's critical, very, very critical, that you like this.
Okay?
You like this.
You must like this.
I don't want to, again, be a pain in the neck here, but it's critical that you like this.
But, in any event, you have...
In your mind's eye, a view.
A view of everything.
A view of your family.
A view of how you grew up.
How you lived your life.
Have you ever talked with siblings?
Have you ever talked with siblings and you go over a story and they will say to you, I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't you remember Uncle Dave?
No.
You don't remember Aunt Margaret who came over with Uncle Dave and the fact that he stole the money and Cousin Margo really wasn't Cousin Margo.
But actually, what are you talking about?
And you look at your sister and your brother and go, where were you?
I don't want to hear that.
I don't want to hear that.
Do you ever go through things after your parents die and you realize, oh my God, you learned something about your parents.
This does not...
I don't like this.
You look the other way.
You look the other way.
That's what this is right now.
My problem is reality.
Not me personally.
Dealing with your reality.
My problem is reality.
And my problem is trying to get you to see things my way and to realize it's okay.
It's okay to be How do I say this?
It's okay to be speculative.
A little speculative, but also to be suspicious.
Perception and awareness is what it's all about.
Not what happened, but what you think happened.
Not what you believe.
Just your world view.
When you go back and you look at a relationship, Why was there a divorce?
Why didn't this work out?
What happened?
Where did we go wrong?
If you have a child and your child took the wrong path, where was it?
Where did it go wrong?
You don't want to think about that.
And there are people who say, I like President Trump.
I like him too.
I like him.
I like President Trump.
But that's not what I'm saying.
But I like President Trump.
Yeah, but that's...
No, no.
Don't talk about him.
I'm not talking bad about him.
But he doesn't want to win.
He's not doing the right thing.
Don't say that.
You are destroying my view of this.
You know that Republicans are...
Really, the enemy here, don't say that.
My father was a Republican.
I don't know what this means.
I told my Democratic friends.
We had lunch the other day with a dear friend.
And I said, you realize that what you're talking about has nothing to do with the Republican Party, I mean the Democratic Party today.
You know that, right?
I said, are you ready to go fully?
We're talking about it by 2035.
By 2035, no gas cars sold, or allowed, or combinations thereof.
Are you ready to go electric by 2035?
It's 13 years.
What are you talking about?
Are you ready to do that?
You think they're kidding?
Do you think these folks are kidding?
Do you think they're...
And let me tell you about this.
And this is what scares me the most.
There's a part of me that says, do it.
These people are not going to understand unless they really suffer.
They're just not going to understand it.
They're not going to get it.
They don't understand it.
They have this idea that somehow there's this, oh, come on.
Truck drivers are going to say, they took us away.
Electric trucks.
Gas stations, no more.
Muscle cars.
Oh, they're not going to do that.
No way.
You think you're going to go, what, change?
You're going to go after OPEC and Saudi Arabia and the infrastructure?
You think that Pete Buttigieg and, what, the UN, that they're going to get together and they're going to do what?
In your towns, you're going to have congestion pricing.
You're going to have streets that are lost.
We're seeing, I'm telling you.
First, you have more parking lots.
What does that mean?
More parking lots?
No, it's the street.
You got two, three lanes?
No.
Now you're going to have one lane, maybe two.
I'm going to put parking.
Why do you want to do that?
Because I want there to be congestion.
I want you to say, I hate driving.
I hate this.
I'm going to put these...
Do you have these little bike?
We have these things called city bikes.
There's a pun for...
It sounds like city, but it's not.
But they're everywhere.
People driving around.
Have you seen that?
Congestion pricing.
More tolls.
Did you ever see a toll booth go down?
Never.
Once a toll booth goes up?
Never.
You're going to be taxed.
You don't even need easy pass.
Nothing.
All these devices.
All of a sudden.
And why do they really want this?
Do they really want to tax you?
No.
They want to know where everybody is at any given time.
You are going to be on a 24-7 world panopticon grid.
Wherever you are.
You ever seen those police cars that have the license tag?
The readers in the trunk?
The boot?
You ever seen that?
What's that?
To look for an expired car?
No.
To see who's there.
Do you have paper tags in your car?
Do you have paper tags on cars in your city?
It's just a paper tag.
It just says, Georgia dealer.
In fact, Mrs. L was saying, they have paper plates.
And I'm thinking like of a Chinette or a paper plate.
It's a paper license plate.
You've seen this?
You're going to be a 24-7 realtor.
They want you home.
Do you have GPS?
Do you have Google?
Do you have Waze?
Do you have something?
Do you have an accelerometer in your phone?
Yes, you do.
It tells me where you are, where you go.
How fast you drive.
And you are going to be hit with a carbon footprint.
You're going to be hit one year with this new thing that's going to come at the end of the year.
It's going to be your statement.
Your 1053 or whatever it is.
And it's your carbon impact statement.
Do you hear that?
And that is going to tell you that you're going to have to deal with that.
And what you're going to also do is you're going to say, well, what am I going to do?
Well, you're allowed 150 credits.
I've got 200.
Well, you can buy 50 from this guy who's under, and that's going to be carbon exchange.
That's going to be a whole new...
It's going to be the new stock exchange.
Carbon exchange is carbon trading, carbon exchange.
It's the biggest thing you've ever seen in your life.
It's all happening.
It's unraveling.
At a speed, and all of a sudden, it's just there.
We learned during COVID that overnight, the world can shut down like that.
Pow!
Overnight.
That is a beta test for some of the best means of, let's see, everybody in place, yeah, let's do a run-through, right?
Dress rehearsal.
Here we go.
Shut it down.
Overnight.
And they sat back and they noticed.
Get ready.
The Great Reset is here.
And it's going to be food, water, energy.
Number one.
Those three comprise the first one.
Food.
When I talk about prepare with Lionel, this isn't just some exaggeration.
This is the real McCoy.
This is so, it's inconceivable.
Because you believe in your heart of hearts that somebody, somewhere, is going to come along and say, no, this doesn't make any sense anymore.
No, this is wrong.
No, no, no, this is, this is, no, no.
We don't do this.
We have too many people.
We have trucks and we have a car.
We have dealerships.
No, we're not going to lose.
You don't see it.
Why?
Because it conflicts with your worldview.
It conflicts with what you see.
It conflicts with what you believe.
You believe that somehow common sense is going to take over.
That the good guys are winning.
That the white hats are in charge.
That common sense.
That America will one day get it through.
This is just temporary.
Yeah, maybe Nancy Pelosi, but don't worry.
That our constitution is there to protect us.
This presupposes the fact that we are in charge of our country, and we are not.
And I've been talking about the shadow government cryptocracy for decades, and now you're getting it.
Even Tucker Carlson the earlier day said, do you think that maybe there might be some other kind of...
Now you're coming on.
He's also coming along to this idea that maybe there's a weird hypnotic reaction formation.
This grand hypnosis that we see on a schedule.
After all, I've been telling you that it's all about psychology.
Perception.
I started off today.
Perception.
Perception of reality.
What I'm saying does not lend itself to a morning news show.
I don't do well on a couch with Sissy Strickland and Buddy Vernell doing this hokum yuck yuck stuff.
It doesn't work.
I don't have favorites.
I'm very dismissive of people.
I think that most people don't know what they're talking about.
I don't have hero worship.
And I love to destroy your heroes.
I'm sorry it's the way I am.
So think about that today.
You have a great Labor Day.
It's the end of summer.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
Now, do me a favor.
Right now, I'm putting in, right now, this is Mrs. L's Twitter handle.
Right now, do you see that right there?
Look at this.
