	PrepareWithLionel.com My friends, I would like to talk to you about something which is the opposite of TDS.
	As you know, there is something that we call Trump Derangement Syndrome.
	And Trump Derangement Syndrome primarily is seen by people who show, have this unrealistic, unbelievable, unhealthy disgust over anything to do with Donald Trump.
	They just lose their mind.
	They lose their mind!
	But there's the opposite effect of this.
	You ready for this?
	You know what the opposite is?
	Let me explain to you what the opposite is.
	The opposite effect is very, very simply this.
	And listen carefully.
	The opposite effect is when people love everything he does no matter what.
	Who saw the President, President Trump, on what appeared to be the, I believe it was a Sean Hannity program.
	This was referred to me, it was sent to me.
	It was very interesting.
	Did you see this?
	Who saw this?
	Did you watch this?
	Now, are you able to evaluate what you saw without showing this absolute fealty, this kind of a...
	Breathtaking.
	Did you?
	Was it good?
	Was it effective?
	What was the purpose?
	What do you do every time you're on TV?
	What do you do?
	How do you present yourself?
	How do you sit?
	How do you focus?
	What's the purpose?
	How do you begin?
	Especially with somebody who cannot possibly be, and I say this with all due respect, More sympathetic to you, so there's no sandbagging or anything like that.
	But how do you do this?
	What's the best way to handle this?
	Well, you don't do what he did.
	You don't do what he did.
	You waste your time.
	This is a chance to be on a national cable news program.
	Number one, number one, I don't know if it's number one slap, I think Tucker has that, but it's certainly on the number one Fox News, irrespective of your political leanings, that is a fact.
	You're able to discuss your own political worldview, your political focus, what you want to do, but instead, it is, here's what you're doing to me.
	Who wants to hear this basics of the Letitia James lawsuit?
	Who is interested in the goings-on of Letitia James?
	What is the thing you do not do?
	You do not mention the name Letitia James.
	You don't mention her name.
	You never mentioned it at all.
	If you want, you can call her maybe...
	Some New York politician do not use the name.
	Why?
	Because what's the purpose for this lawsuit?
	It's for her political advancement.
	You can say whatever you want.
	You can think it's one thing, but it's not.
	It's for her political advancement.
	Because she was going nowhere in the polls.
	Absolutely nowhere.
	She has no name recognition.
	She is not likable.
	She doesn't connect with people.
	Some people do.
	Some people don't.
	Kathy Hochul seems sometimes kind of nice.
	Kind of nice.
	And I think right now, I don't get what anybody says, I think she's going to win.
	Much to the chagrin and much to the dismay of members.
	Citizens of the Empire State.
	So first rule.
	Let's go back.
	Number one.
	If I can go back in time and say, Mr. President, you never say her name.
	Number two.
	The way you act about this.
	It's here we go again.
	You address it, but very quickly.
	Because what's the thing you want to do?
	You want to tell people about your world view.
	You're campaigning.
	Are you campaigning?
	Even if you're not, tell people your world view.
	This is your chance because you won't have your own channel.
	You won't do Trump TV as I told you about.
	You won't do this.
	You wait until somebody has you on.
	And everybody's going to be repeating this in one way or the other.
	So you do a very, very quick reference to it.
	And the theme is, very quickly, here we go again.
	Here we go again.
	And you lean over, and I think you've said this, and I think Sean...
	I said this, which is very good.
	He said, let me ask you something.
	As you know, the basis of this civil suit, this is not a criminal charge.
	I'm not being arrested.
	Because people still have a hard time differentiating between civil, criminal, you know, that kind of thing.
	But, it works something like this.
	When was the last time you ever went to a bank, pledged something, tried to get a mortgage, and nobody verified assets, verified collateral?
	The banks don't do this.
	You can go and you say, I have, I own a million dollar whatever it is, a million dollar painting, a million dollar piece of property.
	And it's not!
	The first thing the banks can do is they're going to check it themselves.
	And if indeed they say, this isn't a million dollars, you're not charged with a crime, you're not sued, you almost expect it.
	No, it's your job.
	Doing due diligence to verify the value of the collateral.
	Hello?
	That's it.
	That's it.
	That's the end.
	That's the end of the statement.
	Does that make any sense to you?
	Are you following this?
	And what Trump does is he has a particular proviso that says we in no way are stating under oath of valuation.
	We're pledging this based upon our belief and you're free to whatever it is.
	So that's it.
	And finally you say this.
	You know, Sean, you know when this will probably be settled?
	Five years from now?
	After the election?
	After 2024 is over and the job is done, this will go away.
	There's nothing there.
	That's it.
	You said it.
	Not woe is me.
	Not that.
	And you don't say about...
	I have wonderful properties.
	I have beautiful properties.
	I have great properties.
	I have gorgeous properties.
	Mar-a-Lago's gorgeous.
	This is gorgeous.
	I'm beautiful.
	The best properties.
	No!
	You've got to get away from this.
	And I'm saying this out of love.
	You say it, dismiss it, never say her name.
	That's it.
	Never.
	Never!
	You never say her name.
	Who is she?
	I don't know.
	Somebody.
	Do you know what it is?
	We're used to it.
	You know, it's like one of those things, it's almost, I mean, you can't say this, but it's like, it's almost like Fox News.
	I mean, you've been sued by everybody who, every woman who's ever worked there, maybe, at least at one point.
	You must have a basket for them to drop.
	I mean, they're not going to break that up, but I mean, litigation today, it's like, come on, what are you doing?
	Unless, unless you challenge a An election?
	And, well, you're held to a higher standard.
	So let me just tell you this.
	You know it.
	I know it.
	I'm wasting my time.
	This tells me.
	The DeSantis people were watching that and saying, he's not running.
	Why?
	He's just not.
	Either he's not running or he's not paying attention to what's going on here.
	Because they're watching very carefully.
	And Trump is coming across as somebody who's not running.
	Because he's talking about things.
	He talks about it's always me.
	This is my lawsuit.
	No, we've got to talk about the future.
	What's going on?
	And you know what's funny right now?
	If he says, you know, Sean, aside from this, and this too shall pass.
	That's the attitude.
	Some pipsqueak coming at me.
	But as you know, Sean, this week is the UN General Assembly, and right now the world faces A perilous time the likes of which we cannot even imagine.
	And I worry.
	I worry about my grandchildren and the world they're going to have.
	And I worry about how we have let people who are involved in this for a different story to rewrite, reposition, And redirect the focus and attention of the country regarding what is happening.
	And right now, I can tell you right now, and this is a subject I went through with great expertise.
	Great, great, great, great, great expertise.
	I can tell you that I went into this On my private channel, because I am telling you, unless you want to repeat the storyline of the Russian-Ukrainian situation now,
	unless you have unmitigated, unchallenged, seemingly endless, endless praise and encomia, Towards Mr. Zelensky, nobody wants to hear from you.
	Do you know I have a friend of mine?
	I have a friend of mine who has a flag, the Ukrainian flag, on a pole, luckily below the America flag.
	And I took it upon myself to ask The most rudimentary questions regarding Ukraine.
	Just seemingly obvious.
	Just basic questions.
	Who is Zelensky?
	Where did he come from?
	Have you heard of Kolomoisky?
	No.
	Where is Ukraine located?
	By the way, Nothing that I'm saying right now, in any way, should be construed as being piquant or being provocative because social media channels do not want you to discuss this.
	I'm merely asking the questions.
	What is the history of NATO?
	What was NATO designed to protect against?
	Are the threats...
	That were extant, that were in existence at the time of NATO, at the time of the formulation of NATO, are they here today?
	Is the world the same type of world?
	Does it face the same threats?
	Now, as it did then, what would George Kennan think?
	One of the great...
	The wise men.
	I believe it was Mr. X, this famous New York Times piece.
	What would he say?
	What does Henry Kissinger say about this?
	What does the greatest mind today, Mearsheimer, say?
	What does he...
	What is the absolute...
	The...
	He's from University of Chicago.
	What does he say?
	John Mearsheimer, probably the greatest.
	He is the best of the best of the best.
	What does he say about that?
	You may say to yourself, well, I don't know, but I know what Larry Kudlow says.
	I'm not talking about Larry Kudlow, who is a fine, fine man.
	Or maybe the other interesting...
	A member of the intelligentsia, the conoscente, Neil Cavuto, who, by the way, are mirror images of the left when it comes to the subject.
	These are chiral opposites.
	You know what chirality is?
	They're like hands.
	You can't superimpose a hand on a hand, but they're mirror images.
	This is what Mrs. L and I are.
	We are chiral.
	We don't superimpose, but we fit like that.
	We're the mirror image of each other.
	Does anybody have any interest in this?
	I go into great detail with this.
	The history.
	Who is Victoria Newland?
	What is Donbass?
	What is the Maidan?
	What is Euromaidan?
	Where is Donetsk and Lugansk?
	Who is Stepan Bandera?
	I've probably gone too far right now.
	I probably have done it right now by using these words because this, as you know, this is one of the reasons why I am convinced, I am absolutely convinced that we have been demonetized and demonized but not demoralized.
	And that's why your contributions to this because we just, we, I am not here as a lapdog for anybody in particular.
	I am not on anybody's side.
	I am not Zelensky's advocate, Putin's advocate, Biden's advocate, NATO's advocate.
	I call it the way it is.
	And this is not appreciated.
	And that's why some of you have shown this incredible philanthropy as patrons by going to PayPal.
	As is indicated in the description section of this YouTube piece.
	PayPal and Cash App and Patreon and Bitcoin.
	And we thank you for that.
	But do you not want to understand this?
	How many here remember anything about the Vietnam War?
	Let's go back in time, shall we?
	Let's just have a little bit, okay?
	Let's go back in time.
	It's very simple.
	Very simple.
	And you can say to yourself, well, yeah.
	What was the Vietnam War about?
	Oh, somebody mentions Azov Battalion, right sector.
	Don't bring that up.
	What was the Vietnam War about?
	What was it?
	We have people, we go, if you've ever seen the Vietnam Memorial in D.C., It is the most incredible thing you've ever seen.
	It is this expanse, this incredible...
	It's just...
	You've got to see this.
	But if you walk up and say, excuse me, what was that about?
	What was that?
	What was it about?
	And you will always hear somebody give a one-word answer that's always wrong.
	You cannot answer it in one word.
	Anybody who answers in a one word is wrong.
	What was it?
	Was it about communism?
	Yes.
	No, it wasn't.
	If you thought malaria was about evil forces or evil spirits, by saying, by repeating the error of that today, doesn't help anything but then.
	It wasn't about evil spirits, and it wasn't about communism.
	We thought it was communism.
	We were wrong.
	What was the mindset?
	What was the mindset then?
	How did we think?
	What did Ho Chi Minh want?
	Read his quotes.
	Read his quotes.
	You know what my new favorite one is?
	I love this one.
	I was reminded of this, and it is so perfect.
	It's from E.A. Hausman.
	Who said, the faintest, the faintest of all human passions is the love of truth.
	I love that.
	We talk a good game about truth, but we have absolutely...
	There was something from some newspaper, I don't know what it was, and the title said, I thought this was very interesting, it said, Do coffee drinkers live longer?
	And I'm realizing nobody should ever pay any attention to this particular type of study.
	Let me give you an example.
	Because this is how I want to teach you how to think.
	You're not going to hear anybody on TV talk about this.
	Nobody ever talks about the epistemology.
	How do you think about it?
	What does a study mean?
	What am I supposed to glean?
	What do I take?
	What do I cull and collate and draw and absorb from that?
	What does that mean?
	Do coffee drinkers live long?
	Well, can we...
	What's the study?
	What was said?
	Let me give you an example.
	Let me give you an example.
	This is the best story of them all.
	One of the best examples of life you've ever learned.
	How many of you have heard that a glass of red wine a day is healthy for you?
	A glass of red wine.
	A glass of red wine.
	You've heard this.
	A glass of red wine.
	And they do these things, they will refer to the Mediterranean study.
	I've got a friend of mine who says, you know...
	I'm more Mediterranean.
	Really?
	Yes.
	My husband and I, we're Mediterranean.
	I said there's 44 countries.
	Excuse me.
	Pardon me.
	Pardon me.
	There are 40. Let me get this straight.
	And notice what I'm doing.
	There's 44 countries in Europe.
	Excuse me.
	The question statement was, we're European.
	Okay, country.
	The Mediterranean border.
	This is what it is.
	21 countries border the Mediterranean.
	And the Mediterranean diet came in 1953 with Ansel Keys.
	But I want you to follow me through this.
	Just stick with me.
	Because if you notice, please, I want everybody, especially those who are listening to me, versus those who are just responding to this.
	There are many, many people who are just responding to this.
	Because they're just, they're just, they're not thinking.
	They're just...
	They have to say something.
	I'm typing something.
	Most people are not typing, but just listen to me carefully.
	So the story is that it's healthy.
	We recommend you have a glass of red wine a day.
	Why?
	Because studies have shown, listen carefully, that people who have one glass of red wine a day are substantially healthier, whatever that means, than people either who drink excessively or whatever.
	Now, doesn't that sound good?
	So what does that mean?
	That means go out and drink red wine.
	You've heard of resveratrol?
	Remember that one?
	Resveratrol is the...
	Resveratrol is the substance in red wine, excuse me, in red grapes that protect grapes from the sun and therefore it is believed that resveratrol from grapes is...
	Somebody was telling me earlier today, you know, vitamin D is important, but it's the K to D ratio.
	So what does that mean?
	Well, go out and take supplements.
	No!
	Just eat something with K and D in it and you're fine.
	Why?
	Because people always look for supplements, not eating.
	In any event.
	Well, when the subject came up and people looked at the study, somebody said, I have a question that you're missing.
	What is that?
	Pray tell.
	Well, if somebody only has one glass of red wine a day, that means to me they're probably pretty pretty not abstemious, but they're Pretty good about watching what they eat.
	If they can limit this to one, you know, one glass or whatever a day.
	What about people who don't drink anything?
	Do you have a control group?
	What?
	How does a one day, one glass a day person compare to somebody who drinks nothing?
	Do you have one of those?
	No, we don't.
	Well, shouldn't you have one?
	You went at this looking for this.
	You went at this looking for this.
	You went at this with the idea that you were going to prove.
	You were going to prove that drinking one glass a day is good for you, but you didn't look at the people who drank nothing at all.
	Guess what?
	The ones who drank nothing did better.
	So what happens is, how we look at data and news and facts and history, all of these things, how we see them, a priori, determines how we interpret things.
	And I want you to know, and I want you to think, and I want you to imagine, and I want you to look at everything from that point of view.
	And when it comes to Russia, and when it comes to Ukraine, and Zelensky, and Putin, and NATO, I want you to ask yourself, what was the history?
	What are we doing now?
	What is this about?
	What happened then?
	Do we take Putin's point of view?
	We didn't take Ho Chi Minh's point of view.
	I interviewed Robert McNamara when he came out, when the fog of war came out.
	I interviewed him, and I asked him, you thought this was a, this metastatic, it wasn't brilliant on my part, but you thought the Vietnam War was some kind of a metastatic move from communism, it would go up into China and to Thailand.
	He goes, yes, but it was, it was a civil war.
	Ho Chi Minh was a nationalist.
	Yes!
	He kept saying, yes!
	But at the time, everybody was saying, what?
	Everybody was saying the same thing we're saying now about Putin.
	Putin's crazy.
	Putin's got, he's autistic.
	He's on the spectrum.
	He's hand tremor.
	They look at every conceivable movement.
	His eye, he doesn't blink.
	He didn't sit down.
	He didn't have a go.
	He's gaining weight.
	He walks funny.
	He walks funny.
	He walks weird.
	Weird.
	But what about Joe Biden?
	Forget Joe Biden.
	What do you mean?
	Just forget about him.
	This is the way we're actually...
	There are people who say, he is evil.
	This one is evil.
	Everybody's evil.
	Zelensky is not evil.
	Okay, fine.
	You're entitled to your opinion, but would you please tell me the basis, the epistemology, the basis of what you believe.
	Remember.
	Remember this thing.
	Remember this notion.
	The faintest of all human passions is the love of truth.
	What is the truth?
	Nobody wants to say this.
	Truth is nuanced.
	It's not absolute.
	There are perspectives.
	And if I don't give you enough data, you're not going to know.
	You're not going to get it.
	What kind of adult rational adjustment or opinion regarding?
	Okay.
	Let me stop right there for one second.

	This man.
	One of my heroes.
	A patriot.
	And a hell of a great guy.
	MyPillow.com.
	Promo code Lionel.
	Lionel, as people say.
	I have no idea why.
	I think it's because of that train thing, maybe, in any event.
	Now let's talk about something.
	Let's talk about the UN.
	What is the UN?
	Oh, I love this.
	Yesterday, I was stuck in an east side...
	Oh, dear God.
	God, it was right around the courthouse and the federal building.
	Oh my God, you have no New York traffic, isn't it?
	Manhattan traffic.
	Not that bad.
	I can't wait for these people to leave, be gone.
	What is the UN?
	What is the UN in one word?
	Now, for those who are listening later on in radio on Spotify or on Apple or other particular platforms, they may not be able to see this, but I'm going to read you.
	Would you please give me, give me one word, and I will read them.
	I will read this as it occurs.
	Give me one word, one word that best describes what the U-N is.
	What is the U-N?
	What is the U-N?
	Explain this.
	Some writes, the UN is the political arm of the loosest trust.
	Nothing more.
	They even share their...
	No, no, no, no.
	A joke.
	Headquarter.
	It's a headquarter.
	What is it?
	Grift.
	What are some of the words?
	One word.
	I love when I say one word.
	And there's four.
	Worthless.
	Evil.
	Is it?
	Is the UN evil?
	Is all of it evil?
	No.
	Not all of it.
	Evil.
	The UN has become a criminal organization.
	Again, one word, please.
	One word.
	And you might...
	Corrupt?
	You have to say, well, why?
	Why?
	League of Nations 2.0.
	Again, more of this.
	League of Nations was a different story.
	League of Nations...
	World?
	I like this.
	World?
	Well, it's very good.
	Hangout.
	Ooh, I like that.
	Hangout, as in limited hangout.
	Greedy.
	See, this is definitely a negative aspect of it.
	Now, the first thing you should ask yourself is, well, what portion of the UN?
	What are we talking about?
	All of it?
	Does the UN do nothing good?
	Of course it does good.
	Of course it does.
	Useless portions of the UN.
	A facade?
	Well, this is a mighty facade.
	Demented?
	Syndicate?
	What part of it?
	The General Assembly?
	The Security Council?
	What?
	There have been some things about fisheries and trying to help things out.
	Who controls the UN?
	The deep state.
	I love you.
	You are wonderful.
	But you're giving me bumper stickers.
	This is bumper sticker.
	This is cookie cutter echo chamber.
	Coded messaging for our kind of speak.
	What is it?
	Charade.
	You see, this is the part that you will be immediately removed from any serious discussion if this is the way you speak.
	Because the very first thing, as I just told you, When you look at something, the epistemology, how do you think what you think?
	Why is it such?
	Tell me.
	What is it?
	What does it do?
	And you've got to go out there and you've got to be an apostle, a missionary of the Holy Word of Peace.
	And you have to know the truth.
	And we cannot be...
	Sidelined by cliches.
	And with all due respect, my dear and great friends, I'm telling you, what is this?
	When you say, the UN, how do you explain, let me change the subject, how do you explain the World Economic Forum?
	This is the one where you get everybody, they don't know what the hell we're talking about.
	World Economic Forum, what is that?
	World Health Organization.
	Oh, that's good.
	World Health Organization.
	That's good.
	CDC.
	Well, there you go.
	There you go.
	That's a good one, right?
	And you ask people, and here is the thing.
	When you meet people, let them do the talking.
	Don't say mistake, smoke and mirrors.
	Someone actually said don't know.
	Thank you for that.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Organized crime, a club, a disguise, a mistake, a criminal enterprise.
	You're just saying these things.
	But the first thing you do is you ask somebody, what do you think this is?
	What do you think it is?
	First of all, we have to start from the beginning.
	Because I have to disabuse you of your, dare I say, Pavlovian obeisance, your patellar reflex.
	You just say things.
	When you say the UN, what part of the UN?
	Look at the UN.
	Just look at what's going on.
	Look at...
	Where is the repository?
	Where is the repository of power in the world?
	The UN is never...
	Ever been considered to be a repository of power?
	It's never any of that.
	That's never been a part of it.
	Ask somebody this question.
	This is the most important.
	Ask somebody this.
	Ask them, what is the purpose of something?
	What is it?
	What does that mean?
	Now, one of the things which is interesting is you ask somebody this question.
	And remember, what many people do mistakenly is they go out and they want to impress people with how much they know.
	They will throw some arcane reference out, which basically is rather recondite, a tad arcane.
	They'll throw it out and they'll do it just to show everybody, I know this and you don't.
	I'm smarter than you.
	I know this.
	It is a Jean-Paul Bénéville.
	Who?
	You don't know who he is?
	No, I don't know who he is.
	Oh, you don't?
	You don't know who Jean-Paul Bénéville is?
	No, I don't know who it is.
	I just told you all you need to know.
	Well, who is he?
	I don't know.
	I just made it up.
	I don't know who he is.
	This is what we do.
	We have a lot of people who love to do this.
	But the first question that I do is, let me ask you this question.
	Let's assume.
	Let's assume that the United Nations, the United Nations, or the World Economic Forum, or anybody from there, but let's just say the UN, because people believe somehow the UN has some kind of a power.
	But let's just assume, let's assume the UN believes that one of the biggest threats to humankind is the handgun.
	And it, unanimously, through some Position, some authority, some something.
	It decides that handguns are a scourge to humanity and they should be eliminated from the face of the earth and the part of citizens.
	Assume that.
	First question.
	What authority does the UN have to do anything about that?
	To implement that were it to be Ask that question.
	What does the UN have to do?
	What does the UN, what jurisdiction does it have, what authority does it have to act upon this idea, if it were to state, if it were to believe, if it were to comment, that handguns.
	Next, what happens if the United States were to sign a treaty?
	Read the treaty power, the Constitution.
	It's there.
	It signs a treaty.
	And it adopts this referent.
	It adopts this notion.
	It adopts this.
	It adopts the idea that handguns are, and we hereby as signatories, sign on to this and join our fellow legions of humans all around the world who admit and who state unequivocally and absolutely that indeed, indeed, there is this Whatever.
	Okay?
	Now, what happens then?
	Could we ever be bound by it?
	You better believe it.
	Why?
	Because we sign on to it.
	We're signing on to it.
	We have agreed to this.
	What if there's a further proviso that says that in the event, whether it's the UN or the World Economic Forum or anything else for that matter, let's assume that pursuant to this agreement, we have this Understanding where we say you may we will cede C-E-D-E we will cede certain jurisdictional authority to you and will allow you to come into our country to
	come into our country and and this is very important to come into our country and And enforce this.
	We will allow you to arrest people, confiscate their weapons, irrespective of the Second Amendment, irrespective of what everything that Bruin or any of the other provisions are, Heller.
	Now, do you think that's possible, what I've just said?
	Isn't that possible?
	Do you believe that?
	It's possible, and it will happen guaranteed.
	Maybe not that per se, but others as well.
	Whether it's vaccines or biomedical treaties and the like, it's going to happen.
	And what we're doing is we're seeing the secession and the ceding and the abnegation of authority to an external, outboard, extraneous body that has no jurisdictional...
	Connection whatsoever to our country.
	That is exactly, exactly what could happen.
	sad music
	The next problem you have is trying to wake somebody up after you've said that and try to convince them of why this makes, why this is so important.
	Because most people, I am sorry to say, will look at you as they do most of the time and say, um, I...
	Whatever.
	Whatever.
	Meh.
	M-E-H.
	Meh.
	Whatever.
	I don't know.
	What are you going to do?
	Okay.
	Next.
	Crime.
	How big is crime going to be in the next election?
	Well, we don't know about that.
	How big is it?
	How big is it?
	Big is the issue of crime.
	I mean, I'm not being cute here.
	I'm not trying to be whatever.
	Because a lot of people in the country will say, well, listen, there's always been crime.
	I mean, haven't you watched Death Wish?
	Don't you remember New York during the Beam administration?
	There's always been crime.
	Yeah, but let me ask you something.
	Is the crime worse now than it has ever been?
	Really?
	Is it worse now than it's ever been?
	Answer by question.
	You know what you'll say?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I'll say to you, where do you get this data from?
	Oh, who needs data?
	You think crime is worse now?
	What kind of crime?
	Personal crime?
	Organized crime?
	Corporate crime?
	What are you talking about?
	What are you talking about?
	And by the way, I'm going to try my best to disabuse you of something.
	As wonderful as you are, everybody will always love to answer the question.
	Rather than give me an opinion of what you think, they will always refer me to somebody else.
	To some arcane charter.
	To an author.
	To a commentator.
	To a YouTube...
	To a...
	A blog.
	To a tweet.
	This is what somebody said.
	Oh, listen to this.
	Have you heard about this reptilian connection between the monarchy and eating salt?
	Here, I've got this guy.
	No, no.
	What do you think?
	I don't think anything.
	But I've got this article.
	I don't want an article.
	No, no, no.
	But I have this.
	No, no, no.
	You've got to see this great guy, this doctor, who says, I don't want to see a great doctor.
	I want to see you.
	What do you think?
	I don't know how to think.
	I know how to repeat things.
	I know how to refer to people.
	I know how to say harp.
	I know how to refer to somebody.
	I know how to refer to Jacques Fresco.
	That's wonderful.
	Maybe Aldous Huxley.
	Bentham.
	Malthus.
	Malthusian references.
	Let's go back to Edward VII.
	Stop!
	What do you think?
	Not what did they say.
	Don't wow me with your ability to reveal, well, you know, I think it was Schopenhauer.
	No, stop it.
	What do you think?
	You know what most people will tell you?
	I don't think.
	How have you come up?
	How have you been able to figure out your own thing?
	How do you?
	What do you think about this?
	I promise you, and you're not going to believe this, 90% of the people listening today, and writing especially, have never thought about this.
	They have never sat back and said, alright, I'm going to put everything out of my way.
	I'm going to think about this.
	I'm going to.
	I'm going to come up with my version of this.
	My understanding of this.
	My reference.
	My theories.
	My philosophies.
	My hypotheses.
	I don't care what somebody wrote 25 years ago.
	I don't care about some organization.
	I don't want to care about Satan or Anton LaVey or whoever.
	And my favorite used to be, oh my God, who was the...
	Saul Alinsky.
	Oh, dear God!
	Every five minutes, Saul Alinsky.
	Well, this is Saul Alinsky all over again.
	Why?
	Well, that's what I say to impart upon you the understanding that I'm a member of the club by using these names, these references, as a shibboleth, as a greeting, as a kind of an open sesame.
	A phrase, a reference to make sure you know that I know who's who and who's what.
	In fact, if you let me talk to you, I'm going to send you this YouTube.
	You've got to see this.
	No, no, seriously.
	You've got to see this.
	Look what we're doing.
	Look what you're doing.
	You keep referring me to other people.
	What do you think?
	What is your thought on something?
	How do you come about it?
	I am the worst.
	That's why I don't watch...
	I mean, somebody has to show me something.
	Sometimes you want to say, oh, did you see this?
	This is a very good one.
	This is a very interesting one.
	I'm very interested.
	I would love to be somehow on a secret Trump political ninja.
	Crew that spoke in code and met somewhere because it's such a perfect story.
	It's about how ideas translate into the public through politics.
	And there are people who are always trying to go back and to refer to somebody else.
	I was listening the other day to a wonderful...
	I love...
	I just love lectures.
	I was listening to a whole series on anarchy and anarchism and anarcho-cynicalism and others, and then conservatives.
	Oh, God, it bores me.
	Well, Edmund Burke said, well, you know, Hayek and Mises.
	What do you think?
	What do you think about this?
	And I still want to get through this.
	Now, the bottom line is simply this.
	Is crime a problem?
	Compared to what?
	If you don't think it is, if you say, relative to me, let me ask you something.
	How does the crime in Armenia affect you?
	How does the crime in Pittsburgh affect you in, you know, Milburn, Tennessee?
	It doesn't.
	So crime, Means nothing unless it affects you.
	Am I correct?
	Yes.
	Does it matter?
	You can say, well, it affects me because theoretically, whenever there's a problem of crime, it affects ultimately the ability of people to feel they have to comport and comply with the law.
	The cost is billions of dollars in loss.
	Okay, fine.
	But now that you're done with that, the first rule is, if it doesn't affect me, I don't care.
	It does not affect me.
	And you can sit back and you can say, well, as a humanitarian, I care about it.
	Okay, fine.
	But for the most part...
	Next, what do you mean by crime?
	Let's talk about violent personal crime.
	Right?
	You want to talk about organized crime?
	Is there a mafia?
	Let me ask you a question.
	Is there a mafia?
	El Cien, La Cosa Nostra, an Italian, actually, well, theoretically, Sicilian-based organized crime families, Borgatas, are they, do they exist today?
	Yes or no?
	Is there a Lucchese, Colombo, Gambino, Bonanno, and Genovese family?
	Five, right?
	And then Cavalcanti and Jersey and Patriarcha, whatever.
	And then various...
	Is there?
	Is there?
	Is there a mafia today?
	Is there?
	It's the most important question in the world.
	Round of wind
	You'll say, yeah.
	How do you know?
	How do you know that?
	Has anybody ever told you that?
	You ever seen somebody being inducted into one of these?
	No, I've never seen anybody inducted.
	Well, how do you know there's a mob?
	How do you know there's a mob?
	How?
	Well, I mean, I just...
	Who said it?
	Well, listen to my favorite are all of the...
	It's incredible.
	Michael Franzese, Sonny the Bull, Sonny the Bull, I mean, just, and then every other version of this, people trying to claw themselves, they say there was.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	And if it doesn't affect me, what difference does it make?
	Okay, there's no organized crime.
	So what?
	Big deal.
	Are there Chinese triads?
	Are there Russians?
	Are there Albanians?
	You want to go to Brighton Beach?
	You think there's a Russian mob?
	When you ask people about crime, you realize right off the bat, they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
	Well, what about the guy on the street who came up with a hatch, pulled out an axe or a hatchet, and what's the difference?
	A bunch of people in the McDonald's.
	What about that?
	What about that lunatic?
	Okay.
	There's always been that case.
	Remember Albert Fish in the 20s?
	One of the worst serial killers.
	I don't know how prolific he was, but he was a cannibal, for God's sakes.
	So what are you comparing this to?
	When you get down to it, when you explore any subject, and when you ask people questions, you will realize, more often than not, they have an idea, kind of, sort of, of what is going on.
	But they really don't know.
	I just did one this morning.
	I explained to you.
	Very, very simple.
	At lionelmedia.com.
	When I used to look at people, and I explained different types of crimes.
	Most people are talking about violent personal crimes.
	That's the thing you're interested in.
	Violent personal crime.
	Rape, robbery, aggravated battery, mayhem, they used to call it, murder, assault, that sort of thing.
	Is it now worse per capita?
	Or is it reported more?
	Years ago there was a sheriff in a particular Florida location who says, since I have been sheriff, DUI arrests have dropped significantly.
	DUIs.
	He wanted to say that because he's sheriff, fewer people are driving drunk.
	Somebody asked a question.
	Maybe you're just arresting fewer people.
	So what does your statistic mean?
	Is it going up, or are you reporting it more?
	How do you know?
	Before we even get to the notion of crime, we've got to say, what the hell are we talking about?
	And people don't think that way because we love to talk about...
	And by the way, I can send you a great video on a guy from 20 years ago.
	It's a great...
	You've got to see this.
	It's William F. Buckley and Ashley...
	and Mortimer Adler from an old...
	Why do I want to watch that?
	I don't know.
	Because I don't know what to think.
	But I can send you a video.
	Ask yourself these questions.
	Is crime worse?
	It depends.
	Where?
	Worse how?
	Are there more crazy people than there ever were?
	I think the argument could be made.
	No.
	Absolutely not.
	Absolutely not.
	Are we recording more things?
	Are we arresting more people?
	We have more people in prisons than anywhere on the planet.
	Does that mean there's more crime in the United States than China?
	Or does it mean that we have a prison industry, a prison industrial complex?
	How do we explain this to people?
	See, the last thing in the world that anybody wants to think about is critical thinking.
	Nobody wants to do that because it's no fun doing that.
	And the reason why is simply this.
	In the particular medium that we're speaking right now, where people love to respond very, very quickly, there is a definite impediment to thinking.
	And to wasting, and to saying, well, because the moment I'm not typing, the moment I'm not posting, the moment I'm not recording, I'm uploading or whatever, then I'm invisible.
	The moment I stop to think, I'm not seen.
	And when I'm not seen, I might as well not exist.
	So I'm going to keep saying things.
	And I don't really care whether what I'm saying is important or not, as long as I'm saying, because this, this wonderful, that's right, my mouse, but this has created this new environment of people who just say things.
	And they're always talking.
	And they're always sending data.
	And they're absorbing data, they're sending back data, and they pass memes on.
	Memes are, from the Dawkins term, memetics, these little...
	A quanta of information that pass on almost the way chromosomes do.
	So let me just leave it there and just tell you this very, very, very simple, simple idea.
	If we as a society, not those people, but us, if we are ever going to prosper, we better get a better handle on how we analyze stuff.
	And I'm telling you, it's the worst.
	And number two, If people want to win elections, they better realize what elections are about.
	And that goes right away to President Trump if that's what he wants to do.
	You've got to start doing this six months a year ago.
	Easy.
	You are constantly running for office.
	That's it.
	And next, this is the most important, there is no such thing, there is no such Process called truth.
	I know this bothers you.
	I know this is problematic.
	But there is no such thing as truth.
	It doesn't exist.
	Let me say this again because nobody cares about it.
	There's no premium.
	Nobody cares about this.
	It's a very simple concept.
	How the faintest Of all human passions is the love of truth.
	My friends, I thank you.
	Not for what you are, but for what you appear to be.
	I thank you for joining me.
	Please pass this on.
	Please don't forget PrepareWithLionel.com and also MyPillow.com promo code Lionel.
	Remember also, if you would like a more brutal and deliberate and focused review of the truth, this is how you may access My private subscriber channel.
	But we don't have to worry about those.
	All right, my friends.
	Have a great and a glorious and a beautiful day.
	We will see you tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel.
	And until then, I remind you, as I always...
	By the way, that's 9 a.m. Eastern Time, as I normally always end with this valedictory, this denouement, this sayonara.
	The monkey's dead.
	The show's over.
	Suya.
