Many people have said, many people have said recently that they want to move somewhere.
They want to go somewhere.
They want to relocate.
They want to pick up and...
Move the tent pole and move.
I want to go someplace else and get away.
Get away from this city or this state or this town.
And I know the feeling, but I want to go to a different time.
I hate this time.
This epic.
I hate it.
I despise it.
I despise the intellectual community that we're in.
I use that term very, very loosely.
I hate this anti-intellectual world that we live in.
I want to go back even to the time that I remember when we were I guess it was maybe when I was in the 60s?
70s?
You could watch William F. Buckley.
And that firing line was his show.
And just recently, fairly recently, Christopher Hitchens.
I saw him once at the...
twice, as a matter of fact.
Ethical Culture once, and then his New York Times piece.
And he was not perfect, but he was sort of there.
Sort of there.
There was a real appreciation for him.
Nobody said, oh, you're using big words.
No, we appreciated that.
William F. Buckley.
I remember as a kid watching Mortimer Adler and loving it.
Johnny Carson had on Carl Sagan.
William F. Buckley was on.
There was not this intellectual deconstruction.
Yesterday I saw something I happened to be listening to.
It was so funny.
I was listening.
We were in a radio studio.
And I was listening at the time to a wonderful piece on Thomas Paine by Christopher Hitchens.
Thomas Paine lived or relocated or was given property in New Rochelle in Westchester County.
And we drive around the...
We drive by a lot, the Thomas Paine Common Sense, and it was just wonderful, wonderful lecture, and I'm hearing this, oh my gosh.
And a cadence, and a sound, and a respect for the audience, using a vocabulary, and a full, lush means of explication.
It was beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.
And then, as I have my earphones, my earpods, whatever, I looked up, and in this studio, after I'm listening to this wonderful dissection of the importance of the criticality of Thomas Paine and our founding fathers, again, these brilliant, brilliant, brilliant people, polymaths, and oh my God.
People of insatiable curiosity.
I looked up in one of the monitors.
I looked up and there it was.
A picture from Fox News of somebody named Typhus.
As in the infectious disease.
This moron.
A celebration of absolute Boeotianism.
I looked up after listening, just thinking, this is wonderful.
In this country, oh, we love our flags, and oh my God.
I looked up.
I thought, oh my God.
Why?
Why is this man allowed to speak?
Much less opine, much less utter, much less waste oxygen in my world.
On the number one cable news network, we are doomed.
I want to go back.
Can you imagine a time when Johnny Carson would have had Peter LaSalle or Going out there and saying, we have on tonight a man named Typhus.
What?
What does he do?
I don't know.
He's large.
He has tattoos.
He's working at carnival.
No, he doesn't.
What does he say?
I don't know.
My God!
It hit me.
And I've been so, not depressed, but I thought, Take me away.
Put me in a rocket ship.
Let me go backwards in time to my youth.
Let me go back where we can enjoy, where this would be rejected.
Do you realize?
Think about this, that right now, in our conventional, and by the way, cable TV and plug TV, just look at it.
Remember it is going to be gone before you know it.
Just look at it and remember it.
Just remember it.
It'll be the eighth track.
It'll be the eighth track.
Let me stop.
Let me stop what I'm saying.
I'm going to stop.
I first want to say, in celebration of the anniversary of her birth, ladies and gentlemen, all rise and pay homage to Liz Solak.
This is to you, lovely lady.
You've been with us since day one.
You've traveled on a steamer to visit me at the cutting room last time.
And for this, we bow our heads.
In grace, we bow before thee, providing homage to you.
Oh, lovely lady, happy birthday.
Let us all rise.
Drop what you're doing.
Look up to the heavens and thank God.
That there was a time in which the stars collided and brought us Elizabeth.
Our Queen Elizabeth.
Do you see?
Do you get it?
Do you understand?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday.
And let me give you, of course, my utmost sense of perpetual fealty and Irreparable devotion.
Now, a couple of things.
We're going to stop right there.
I've got so much to talk about.
Oh my God!
I don't even know where to begin.
But I'm going to begin with the following.
I want to thank everyone, by the way.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Thank you so, first of all, thank you so very much.
For your kind support and your kind and absolutely your your incredible support.
We received a wonderful contribution and a beautiful handwritten card.
Oh!
If it's at all possible to ever include an email address that is fine but it was so wonderful to read.
In exquisite handwriting, on a card, the date you will be receiving my handwritten response to you.
But, as you know, we have been, I let you know, for reasons that I would ever understand, we have been demonetized and demonized, but not demoralized.
And if you would like to ever support us, we thank you.
We thank you.
We, of course, have the description section, PayPal and Cash App and Venmo and Patreon and Bitcoin and crypto and even checks and cougarands and traveler's checks and drafts and banknotes and the like.
But even a physical address, we thank you for that.
But if you even want to discuss the verboten, the verboten, I have one, a piece that is It will drop, for those on Lionel Media, regarding the 11th day of the 9th month.
It was the 11th of September, a day I'll always remember.
And I went into, again, in exquisite detail, how Americans in particular love to look the other way.
So, LionelMedia.com, that is that.
In addition, I have to say, before we also, look what they're doing.
Look what they've done to my song.
I think Melanie sang that best.
Well, I've got a new one for you.
Look what they've done to my Mike Lindell.
Of all the people in the world, Mike Lindell grabbing his phone like he's some kind of a Do you see what is happening?
We'll get to that in a moment.
Some people are saying, it appears that we have a one-party system.
Do you think?
Oh, my God, yes!
Yes, you're so right!
A one-party system!
Good heavens!
Did...
Did Typhus say that?
No!
Who said that?
Anyway, Mike Lindell.
Now listen, you can do a couple of things.
First of all, you can do thoughts and comments and prayers or whatever.
Or you can stand up and say, you know what?
How can I help Mike Lindell?
What can I do?
What can I do to make my statement?
You can go to MyPillow.com and make the man the melon, the Carnegie of his generation.
But only if you use promo code Lionel.

Do you hear me?
Alright.
Love that man.
Now, I cannot take any more stupid.
Not only stupid, anti-intellectual, incurious, oafs, absolute, Oafs.
Bumbling Boeotians.
We are so bereft.
Do you understand that in our current system, television, which I was a child of, my beloved television, when I remember when it went to cable, do you realize the smartest show, the smartest show, the smartest show as we speak on TV, especially when it comes to news, I mean, you could argue.
Maybe there might be some PBI.
I don't know.
I don't watch that stuff.
But in terms of news commentary, it's Tucker Carlson.
Now, with all due respect, it's a very good show.
That's the smartest show?
That's it?
I mean, it's not Schrodinger's cat.
It's not the Einstein's twins paradox.
It's not supersymmetry.
You know, we're not parsing metaphysics.
It's...
It's very good, very well written, but that's the smartest show?
That's it!
That's the apex, the zenith.
That's as good as it gets.
That's it.
Can you imagine Matthew Muggeridge or somebody?
What used to be just considered in the old days normal?
Normal.
Remember Dick Cavett during Watergate?
Dick Cavett?
During the Vietnam War?
Do you remember those incredible debates between Mailer and Gore Vidal?
Do you remember the great on ABC?
The William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal debates?
Not even debates.
And today we have typhus.
That's it.
Your idea of genius today is Jordan Peterson talking about lobsters.
But in the same insufferable, interminable discussions and explications, anent pronouns.
Oh, dear God, save us.
Oh, not another one.
Isn't he a genius?
No!
I know.
Why should you be forced by the government to use a particular appellation or nomenclature denoting someone pursuant to some ordered, methodically mandatory system of pronouns?
Oh, good God.
Let us hear this one again.
Oh, please, someone take me out of my...
Is that all there is?
It's a great Peggy Lee deigned to intone.
Is that all there is?
What is take me someplace to a different time?
I don't like this time.
It's boring.
That's why I look elsewhere.
I'm constantly looking in the past.
I swear to you, I'm telling you, I can listen to it again.
Going back and listening to I thought nothing of it.
Let me give you another example.
Please understand.
I almost drove off the road yesterday.
Mrs. L and I were listening to the Queen's What was it called?
The Tribute?
The Three Mile?
Whatever.
I mean, it was...
Well, they were queuing, yes.
And by the way, if you listen to BBC, the grammatical errors, oh my...
Listen very carefully, but very, very, very few.
They don't have a typhus, by any way.
And there was...
I almost...
I almost drove off the road in my Yugo, a stretch.
I almost said, I don't want to live anymore.
I don't...
What is wrong?
Because it reminded me there was a little girl.
She was nine years old.
They went up to her and said, Heather, let's talk to people in the queue.
Irish and Scottish.
How about Meghan Markle's spokesperson?
They didn't understand that Scotland was part of the...
Anyway.
They talked to a little girl.
Nine years old.
And I'm paraphrasing, but they said, and what is your name?
Oh, she was from Guildford.
I forgot her name was.
And I'm, how old are you?
Emily, yes, I'm from, I'm nine years old, yes.
And Emily, what do you, I'm here to show my respects for the Queen.
And the funniest thing was she goes, she has been the Queen my entire life.
She's nine.
But it was cute.
Because she's heard other people say this.
And they said, well, what do you think of Prince Charles?
Or something.
King Charles III.
And I'm paraphrasing, but he's done a wonderful job in absorbing learning from her.
Yes, he's gained wisdom and absorbed wisdom.
It sounded like a 40-year-old College professor or an Oxford Don.
And I thought to myself, can you imagine an American standing in queue?
Yes, you're here at the White House lawn celebrating what exactly?
Yes, the end of inflation?
Oh, look, there's James Taylor.
Is that James Taylor?
He's wearing a fedora.
He looks like some rumpled Street urchin, some...
He looks like a degenerate, like a vagrant, like an inebriate, a soot, a dipsomaniacal ruffian, a rapscallion with a guitar.
And he's singing Fire and Rain, a song about drug addiction amidst the Biden clan.
Oh, let's talk to you.
What is your...
An American kid, first of all, wouldn't make eye contact with you, wouldn't look at you, would have a mask on, or two or three.
And maybe drop a series of F-bombs.
I thought, that's it.
That's it.
We are, this can't be happening.
I cannot believe what I am saying.
I want to go to a different time.
I don't understand.
The world is so complex, but fun complex.
Fun!
Fun!
I was watching the other day just reminding myself of Carl Sagan Cosmos.
He was talking about Eratosthenes.
And how the world, and the globe, and there's proof of the world being round.
What year was he born?
Eratosthenes was born in one, no, died in 194 BCE.
And we had to live with those people who were into Flat Earth for a while.
Well, that's good.
And I thought that was kind of funny, you know, Flat Earth.
Nobody shut them down.
No Wikipedia warnings.
Excuse me, you cannot.
But that's okay.
Because why?
Because ignorance actually benefits the shadow government, so proceed unmolested.
So, we still...
Americans still say, yeah, Christopher Columbus, he wanted to see if the world was round.
No, they knew that.
I think it was during the time of Socrates, a couple of thousand years.
In fact, there were also globes at the time.
I don't think, oh really?
Yeah, I don't know.
That's who we are.
Right now, there are, there was a time, listen to this, in the In the 40s, when Einstein, when Einstein, I guess, moved to, came to Princeton, and he was on Long Island for a while, and everybody's walking, he wore women's sandals, and very odd.
Anyway, but Einstein shows up at the port or the pier, and it was a rock star.
A physicist.
We kind of felt that way about Hawking because he was the cool guy in the wheelchair.
With the computer voice.
With the ALS.
You know what I mean?
They didn't know exactly what it was.
Black holes?
Had no idea.
But there was a time when the most famous person in the world was this man.
At the time of Thomas Paine, people would go into pubs and argue about science and literature and math.
They were polymaths.
Actually.
Truly.
Not today.
This morning I was just on my YouTube you know they have these little notices and people are starting their morning show with saying the same thing.
Talking the same thing about, did you hear that Ron DeSantis sent some people to the Marches Vineyard?
Okay.
And some illegal buses were sent to the observatory where Common Harrison?
Okay.
And Mike Lindell?
Okay.
Yeah, we know about that.
What does it mean?
I don't know what it means, but I'm just going to recite for you the headlines.
Yes, but what does it mean?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, tell me what it means.
I don't know.
I'm just doing headlines.
That's it.
And the story, the stories that are so good, that absolutely are, this would, I mean, it would wow the world we can never discuss here.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Never.
Under any circumstance.
This is so interesting right now.
There was a time when I was a kid when the protest song was considered cool.
There was a time when I was in school, even in Catholic school, even with uniform, we had POW bracelets.
We knew what was going on.
We were debating and talking about the Vietnam War.
We don't do anything.
Today we have a kind of a rudimentary understanding, a little bit about Ukraine.
We think.
We don't really know.
And what do we do today?
Where is our POW bracelet?
I will tell you.
It is a little thumbprint or a profile photo.
I stand with Whatever.
Our vaccine protocols, our regimens, we have no idea about anything.
Nothing.
And it travels down to every conceivable level there is.
We have midterms coming up.
In November, less than whatever.
And nobody's...
And the only thing, the only thing that even resembles, maybe, maybe, something is, I guess, and it's not even, the words don't apply, it's not conservative, it's not right-wing, it's not whatever, but it's this Twitter, maybe?
Or, as my friend says, I'm on truth social.
Well, what does that do?
I don't know.
We just talk to each other.
Really?
Yes.
We talk to each other.
Okay.
And what do you think is going to happen there?
I don't know.
I'm not sure exactly.
Well, where do you think this is going?
What do you think is happening?
Do you know what the word tyranny means?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
There's no clue whatsoever.
This sense of insouciance.
This happiness.
Well, it's always something.
Like Emily Letella.
It's always something.
I don't know what happened to us.
I don't know what point it happened.
I don't know where it went.
I don't know.
And I don't know how to get it back.
I don't know.
I swear to you.
If I hear one more person explain to me that it's not a good idea to have an unprotected border, we're past that.
We're past that.
Where are the issues?
What are we talking about today?
What?
Anything?
Let me throw one at you.
Did you hear about this one?
And this is very interesting.
The railroad strike.
Anybody hear about that one?
Did you hear the railroad strike?
Why is that important?
Why is the railroad strike important?
What's the thing with the railroad strike?
Well, let's see.
Well, this has been averted, but what is it?
They're talking about, what is it again?
Supply chain.
Supply chain.
Could it be a work?
I don't know.
That's a professional wrestling term.
Could it be a means of acclimating you?
I don't know.
I don't know.
So when we talk about supply chain problems, when we talk about food, water, and energy, the three issues, the most important, we talk about it and it goes away.
We talk about it and it goes away.
I am telling you right now.
I am not suggesting.
I am telling you that someday, through some mechanism, I don't know what it is, whether it's a strike, whether it's some other reason, because we don't ask, there is going to be a food crisis.
And if you think...
Then you're going to go into your cupboard and pull out some banana chips or maybe some tomatoes you can or maybe you've got spaghetti.

Yesterday, we were talking to a friend of mine, and I always want to tell you these stories.
And I don't understand what parents are doing.
I don't understand.
There is a...
I don't want to mention which one, but we asked, what is your...
Daughter, reading in school.
Well, she's reading.
And what is she reading?
Um...
A book?
What is the book about?
Uh...
I don't know.
I don't know.
You don't know what the book's about?
No.
Did you have a copy of it?
Yeah.
Would you send us a copy?
Oh, by the way, a little quick word.
Newsletter's going out today.
Newsletter's going out today.
And they are beauts.
Sign up right there.
One more time.
Sign up right there.
So anyway, we're talking.
True story.
And I don't understand why people don't just look things.
I'm looking things up.
Constant.
Constant.
Remember the, um, remember the line, water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink?
Coleridge, Coleridge, the rhyme of the ancient mariner, remember that?
Of course not.
Well, anyway, all you have to do is look it up.
Look it up.
Look it up.
And people don't look things up.
I'm going to say, well, what exactly is the...
Is that the right word?
Music hath charms to soothe the savage.
Is it beast or breast?
It's breast.
Look it up.
We look things up all the time.
Spelling, pronunciation, definitions.
So this friend, we said, go and give me a name.
Take a picture.
Take a picture of the book.
I get this sometimes with clients.
You have a copy of the document, and I get this crumpled up paper of this.
What is this?
Would you send me a PDF?
What?
It's a document.
It's a contract.
What is this?
You've got a phone.
We have a new operating system, by the way, the worst dictation ever.
But anyway, so we send a picture, or the parent sends a picture.
And we look at it and we say, well let me tell you what your little darling is doing.
And we looked it up.
You can't believe the subject matter.
I'm not even going to mention the name.
She had no clue.
No intellectual curiosity.
No nothing.
No nothing.
To the day we were talking about all of a sudden the moon shot was disrupted.
I asked a friend of mine.
Why haven't we been back to the moon since whenever?
Why?
I know where you're going with that.
No clue.
No interest.
What are we learning?
What is the space program?
By the way, I believe there is something to be said for the space program.
What does the space program do?
I have no idea.
What do you know?
And again, I hearken back to this nine-year-old, Emily, who is...
And there was another one too, what, seven years old?
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
And I also can't understand something.
Let me explain this one to you.
If I hear one more American on TV or radio or whatever it is say, I'm getting kind of tired of this Queen thing.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say anymore.
How do you explain to somebody, do you know what tradition means?
Do you know what pomp means?
Heraldry?
Do you know what tradition is?
What is our tradition?
Let me ask you a question.
I want everybody to write one word, one name, who, if they died today, would warrant the same amount of attention.
In terms of how many days of mourning, waiting 26 hours, the last time we saw anything like that was during a Trump rally, but who would sleep on the concrete overnight?
Who?
Who?
What?
Who?
Who?
Anywhere.
Anywhere.
Believe it or not, it might be Trump.
It could very well be his ultimate path.
Seriously.
Because that's another completely different story.
We grovel in our ignorance.
We love it.
What's this all about?
Now, if it's a...
Somebody wins the Super Bowl, they have no problem having a ticker tape array.
What about that celebration?
Well, that's different.
See, sports is a different thing.
Now, I've got to ask people a question.
And when I ask this question, I don't think people are even thinking about this.
Because when you ask, and I've asked people, I say, well, name a person.
And they say, oh, I see.
And they'll just...
Answer, because they just have to answer, which is a part of our reflex.
And somebody said, Mick Jagger, I said, you think a Mick Jagger?
Around the world?
What are you talking about?
Oh, what about in Taiwan?
No, was it Taiwan or Hong Kong?
In Hong Kong, they were going berserk.
In constant, not a cortege, but in these shows of support and condolences to the embassy, not covered by anybody because of the control of China.
It's huge!
It's huge!
Nobody.
We don't understand that.
It's this thing that we do.
It's this ceremony.
Name a ceremony.
We still have funerals.
We still have weddings.
Not marriages.
Weddings.
We have baptisms and you know that sort of thing.
One time we went to a baptism.
Catholic baptism.
And we have a friend of ours who was in the Crowd.
And did not understand.
But you know when the Godfather says, do you renounce Satan?
I renounce Satan.
This friend who had ever been to a baptism said, I renounce Satan.
Well, that's good.
That's good.
Renouncing satanic renunciation.
I remember that as the first communion.
What does that mean?
Do I renounce Satan?
I'm seven.
Anyway.
What does ceremony mean?
Ceremony is the most important thing in the world.
Ceremony is what human beings do.
Ceremony is the marking of something via this wonderful modality called tradition.
And tradition binds people together.
And the only way we see it, the only time we see it, is in sports.
Specifically, really, if you think about it, soccer or football.
Team chants, team songs, team colors, uniforms.
Very, very, very.
And of course, that's again a European piece.
By the way, a friend of mine said the other day, I'm very European.
I said, there are 44 countries.
Are you Belarusian?
What are you?
Think about this.
And yet, here's the worst part.
There are people who go out of their way who think it's cool to say, I don't understand this.
I think this is stupid.
I think this is stupid.
My response is to mock something.
This is where we are right now.
Truly.
The level of intellectual detachment makes me want to get into a rocket ship, some time travel, and get out of this town.
I hate this time.
I hate it.
Not this place, this time.
I've always thought, well, they were stupid, but not like this.
And I'm seeing, not only stupid, just look at the, just look at what is celebrated in terms of our art and all this, but an incuriosity.
Nobody cares at all about that.
David Attenborough.
You ever hear?
Watch him on the sloth.
You might say the sloth.
Watch how the sloth climbs down from the tree and defecates.
And then goes back up, risking.
It's slow.
It's like this.
And any predator can say, what is this?
Why doesn't it defecate in the tree?
It doesn't.
It's got to come down, very private.
People would love that.
We kind of sort of have that a little bit on YouTube to an extent.
But that is a sense of interest.
Today, by virtue of this deliberate social and intellectual re-engineering, people have to have things, it's thrown at them.
Thrown at them.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
It's thrown at them.
So there's nothing for them to go and Curiosity where it says, well, let me go and see and look.
Oh, no, no, no.
It's got to be imagery.
I hate this time.
Social media.
The internet is wonderful.
Social media is so wonderful.
Do you know that when the queen died, I will never forget that, that At one time, there, I don't know what to do.
At one moment, simultaneously, it was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
I said, pow!
At that moment, there I was sharing it, sharing it with him at that moment.
No hesitation.
It was, it was, I, and I tell people, they go, yeah, no, no, no, you don't understand it.
Everybody on the planet, you know, we've never had instantaneous on the planet.
World War II, we didn't even know.
I said, okay, try this one.
Imagine, imagine November 22nd, 1963, and there are thousands of people who were lining the streets and right around Dealey Plaza, right Right around the grassy knoll.
Right around the school book depository.
Right around Lucien Sarty and Badge Man and everybody at the underpass.
Everybody had their camera.
This is my mouse, of course.
But they did one of these.
And you had a thousand.
Not a thousand pictures.
A thousand angles.
With multiple pictures, multiple videos, multiple everything.
There he is!
Bang!
Puff of smoke!
Hey!
The grassy knoll!
Badge man!
It is Sarti!
Look!
Frangible bullet!
Just like we thought!
There he is!
No need for the worm!
There he is!
Got it right here!
Thousands and thousands online posted, boom, boom, boom, because people would have to do it.
Now, here's my question.
After we did this, and after everyone saw this event, listen carefully.
See if you know where I'm going with this.
If after everyone saw exactly what had happened, What would happen next regarding getting to the bottom of this?
Would people then feel all of a sudden that they would have to know?
Would there be a, we're going to get to it.
We're going to get to the end.
People would say, we want this.
We will not sleep until this person, who is that person who hired you?
Were you acting alone?
Would you see this?
Nope.
Nothing.
Nothing.
How do I know that?
Look how many times we've done that before.
We see things all the time.
Somebody would come forward and say, well, we have right now a political fact or Snopes or something would come up with some version of it.
CNN, Morning Joe, whoever watches this stuff, would say that, well, somebody would be arrested or somebody would be blamed or something like that.
That would be the end of it, completely.
That would be the end of the discussion, completely.
But wait, no!
There's this man with a gun.
Yes, yes, but we're moving along now.
And you would be told that's a conspiracy theory.
And then people would say, conspiracy?
I got a picture of this.
Look!
There's smoke.
Well, that's not smoke.
Because we have another commission.
We have Snopes.
And it was, that's not smoke.
That was swamp gas.
Like for the UFOs.
What?
And you say, okay.
And then people who would say, wait a minute.
No.
They would have their accounts closed or frozen or whatever.
And you would say, oh well.
Like you always do.
Oh well.
And then Joe Scarborough or somebody would be told, listen, you're going to go on there.
And by the way, Joe, what's that thing on your head?
What is that thing?
Is it a nest?
Is this a bird's nest?
What is it?
You and Madame Defarge over here are going to go on and you are going to just deny this.
You got that?
Yeah.
And you are too.
And you are too.
And that's it.
And the entire world will say, okay.
Guaranteed.
It's been done a million times.
well it's been done more than you can imagine instead of saying oh no no no no no no no no no no no no Sorry.
Not this time.
Oh no, this time, yeah.
Remember the scene from Star Wars?
When Obi-Wan says, these are not...
The droids or whatever you're looking for.
These are not the droids.
That's it.
That's where we are today.
You're not going to say that.
Yeah, but I don't care what you saw.
I don't care what you saw.
Move along.
Move along.
That's it.
But I was standing there.
I don't care what you were doing.
No, no, you don't understand.
This is me.
I'm standing next to the shooter.
I was talking to him.
Here, I've got a selfie with him.
Are you proposing that?
Proposing what?
I saw it.
Really?
Are you one of these flat earthers?
Well, you don't believe in the moon?
I'm not talking about the moon.
That's exactly what would happen.
Guaranteed.
And you know what you would do?
Nothing.
Oh well.
Nothing.
Move along.
Because we have been, I don't know, because of what we're drinking or the psych meds or who knows.
We just say, oh good.
Whatever you say.
And we move on.
One minute it's this.
I keep thinking, what about Brittany Greiner?
I'm asking everybody, what do you need?
I'm saying, what happened to Brittany Griner?
This was the WNBA, this is the LGB, I guess, female basketball player, arrested in Russia by the horrific, horrible Putin regime, sentenced to nine years or whatever it was.
She had some vaping cartridge with something, whatever it was.
What about her?
The other day you were going crazy.
Did you forget her?
Well, yeah, sort of.
What do you mean you forgot her?
The other day you were going crazy.
What about Salman Rushdie?
How's he doing?
Who?
Salman Rushdie.
He was just stabbed the other day.
In the neck by some crazy guy.
Oh, yeah.
You forgot?
Yeah.
What about the sanctions?
The sanctions?
The Russian sanctions.
What happened with that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
You see where we are today?
I hate this time.
I don't know what happened.
I don't understand it.
When the internet first started, everybody was like, just, it was great.
It was a wild west.
And there's this torpor, this insouciance, this ennui, this, you know, we're like ossified.
We're frozen.
We're like that insect in the amber.
And we talk about this stupidest stuff.
Hey, well, I think when the Mar-a-Lago...
You're talking about Mar-a-Lago again?
Get over it.
What do you want?
How's that John Durham doing for you?
Oh, yeah!
That's right!
Remember he was the savior for you?
Oh, John Durham.
Here comes Durham.
Well, he's going to get to the bottom of that one.
Really?
You sure about that?
Huh?
What's he done?
What's happened?
I don't know.
So I just...
You're watching Typhus.
Are you worried about I don't know what?
I have no earthly idea.
Do you want to talk about it again?
What's the definition of a woman?
Oh, please!
Is this where we are?
We're stuck.
So let me ask you something.
Is it...
What do you think about?
Everybody's saying, and Biden's red, his speech bathed in red.
What do you think?
What?
What do you think about that?
Oh, it'll go down to history.
Go to history as what?
Nobody knows what you're talking about.
Let's go to Times Square.
Come on over.
Go to Times Square.
It's right over there.
It's not far.
Here's $1,000.
Just hold it up.
Anybody, if you can even remotely describe what I'm talking about when I talk about the red, you know, the red speech, the red light, the marines, where he was the semi-fascist.
Anybody here?
A thousand dollars.
They don't know what you're talking about.
But if you watch these pretend news narratives, you'll think, this is the most important.
It's...
It's microscopic.
What about the big thing?
We don't want to talk about the big picture.
We'll talk about little incidental things.
That's easy.
Because there's just, that's easy for our shuttered news program.
Well, you know, we don't have a lot of people working on this, so we'll talk about it.
Oh, here's a, can we do a compilation of Carmelita laughing?
That might be good.
And by the way, what passes this political commentary today is so base.
Laugh-In was light years ahead of this.
Rowan Martin's Laugh-In, George Schlatter, was light years.
Remember when Nixon was on that?
It actually was piquant, poignant, critical, it was interesting.
It now is base.
You've got these profane rubes sitting around, heavily tatted, belching, flatulating, and seeing nothing.
With F-bombs and whatever it is, that's considered depth.
That's comedy.
My generation gave you SNL, really, in 77, I think it was.
When it first started, it was really cutting edge.
SCTV, still the greatest ever.
Even Fridays was better than what we're seeing right now.
I mean, we had things like entertainment shows.
We watched Ed Sullivan and knew about variety.
We knew Anne-Marie Albergetti, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Tobo Gijo, Toadie Fields.
We knew Circus Axe, Sergio Franke.
We knew about Robert Merrill.
We knew Beverly Sills.
We knew about opera.
We knew about everything.
Everything.
We only had one, maybe two shows a night.
We knew more than people do today.
We had one morning paper, maybe an afternoon, and that was it.
We knew more than what was going on.
We had globes.
We had this thing called geography.
We had this thing where we could explain things.
I hate my time now.
I hate it.
It's not where I live.
It's this time.
It's the time I live in.
It's devolving.
It's like the earth stops spinning.
Now it's spinning backwards or something.
And the people that are thrust at me, that represent today's cognoscente in the Illuminati, so to speak, of our time, the intelligentsia.
Oh my God!
You're kidding me!
Hey, let's talk about that guy, that guy with the British accent.
He believes that the Queen is a reptile.
I'm going to watch him.
He must be good.
He's got a British accent.
You know how we love British accents.
They're smarter than we are.
I don't even know what they're talking about.
Something about the British family.
Damn reptiles.
Reptiles, I guess.
Are you kidding me?
We are doomed, my friends.
We are so cosmically doomed.
And there's a very, very sick part of me, and I must tell you, I would be less than candid if I told you this, that isn't actually laughing at this.
Because I want people to learn.
America has to hit rock bottom.
It just sits back, and so few of the entire group of people who are even there, such a small percentage, are even remotely aware, and what they are aware of has nothing to do with reality.
There's no critical thinking, no critical analysis, no skepticism, no anything, no incredulity, nothing.
It doesn't exist.
It's nothing.
And we have right now, not Joe Biden, don't blame Joe Biden, don't blame the Democratic Party, they don't know anything about this.
There is an invisible government, a shadow government, a cryptocracy, something that is running the show, that is throwing this at you.
And the best that we can do is, somebody will go on Waters World and complain, and that'll do it, or...
Post something.
Remember all of those nominees, those federal nominees?
Remember John Kennedy and all these Marshall Blackburns?
So you don't know what a woman is?
Is that what you're saying?
Ooh, he slammed her.
Do we have a tally on all those judges?
Did they get through those appointees?
We have no idea.
We just enjoyed this little snippet, this TikTok moment.
That's it.
Alright.
Now my friends, I want you to do me a favor.
