My friend, the question that I have to deal with today is this phrase which was coined a while back, TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Is it still with us today?
Does it play a role in any type of politics and the like?
And I have a series of responses from CNN.
There's a wonderful piece that was quotes.
This is some...
Because I'm citing not necessarily from people who would agree, but from other people who one would...
Not think of in terms of being in the Trump camp per se.
It's just a thought.
As we get into the election cycles, I'm telling you that virtually, virtually, actually, virtually, not literally, but virtually perhaps, the most incredible issues are not being provided to you during these election seasons.
One of the things that you will see both in the CNN and Fox groups, because I don't want to say left and right, because it's not left and right, but I'll just call it the CNN and Fox.
That's the media antitheses that we have to deal with.
You will never ever really hear about what somebody once To do or accomplish.
What you will hear, more often than not, is how the other person is a bad person.
Listen to me and listen good.
When you are going to run for office, listen.
Are you listening?
Whether you're on the left or the right or the middle or the upper, whatever it is.
You always tell them what you're going to do.
Have you ever been to a restaurant whose focus was why they're better than McDonald's?
They never mentioned the opposition.
They never mentioned why do people do it for elections.
I will never know.
I will never know.
Trump is the subject of fixation on so many people's minds.
He's not...
I mean, he theoretically could be in the election, but he's not in anything that's happening in the midterms.
I know people who are starting, by the way, our return to the cutting room, January, be on the lookout, January of 2023.
It's already locked in, so I'm going to keep you aware of that one.
But there are people who are doing comedy troupes, as is their right, talking about a Trump indictment or a Trump...
Okay.
I'm not going to tell you what's funny and what's not funny.
But one of the things which I would like to explain to you is a little thing called fixation.
And it doesn't necessarily mean Trump.
It can be anything.
It's when something so defines you that you can't see through the fog.
Don't let this happen to you.
We're going to be talking about this.
We're going to be talking about so, so much.
I just did a great piece.
By the way, Mrs. L's newsletter, you've got to get it today.
Let me get it right now for you.
It is so terrific.
It deals with the ALI, the American Law Institute, is changing significant portions of the model penal code to address offenses and predation and the like involving children.
And it's something that everybody needs to know about.
And you are hearing nothing.
Nothing about it.
Nothing.
So I'm going to give you this.
This is her...
Do me a favor.
I'm putting this up right now as we speak.
This is her link.
I speak about it.
She talks about it.
I'm not going to talk about it now.
But...
You are missing the point.
And I understand it because there's so many things going on in the world.
This is her newsletter.
Please, please, I beg you, for your own good, for your family, read it.
There are news stories that are going on you can't believe.
I remember Eric Brennan.
I always talk about spinning the plate.
There was a fellow on...
Ted Sullivan years ago.
Okay, man, he spinned all, spinned, spun plates and bowls and, and they play this music like Flight of the Bumblebee and the Sabre Dance.
And...
And he had all these bowls and plates and spinning.
That's what life is.
That's what life is.
And I see it all the time, and these are interesting stories, but I would like to tell especially to my friends, to my friends in the, for lack of a better word, the conservative fora, we know about drag queen dances in schools.
Very important.
Move on.
Let's hear about something.
Let's add something.
You keep bringing me appetizers.
I'm at a restaurant.
I don't want any more bread.
I don't want any more olives.
I don't want any more of this dipping sauce.
Where's this?
What is this?
They focus on this.
They focus on this.
And...
Let me also explain to my friends who are from perhaps another area.
You may think this is important, and I'm sure it is, but there are many, many people who ask the following.
When are you going to get off January 6th?
Not that it's not important.
Please, it's there.
But it is not important.
The only thing.
So, drag shows here.
January 6th here.
The key to life is keeping all the plates going.
Not just one as the other stories crash.
That's all.
All of these are fascinating.
But we're not stupid.
Throw issues at us.
Tell us more than the same thing over and over and over.
Now let me explain something to you, which is very, very important.
And it's critical for me to bring this up right now, and I will do it, and I will do it right now.
I heard something today.
Mrs. Ellen told me about this.
This is going on, right?
Remember when we talked about the baby?
Baby formula shortage.
Remember that?
That's still going on, right?
Three months?
Well, yeah, right.
But you said something like three months something or other.
Oh.
Oh, yes.
A third.
There was a story we heard where a third of parents are not able to find baby formula.
Now, wait a minute.
I know what you're thinking.
What happened to that story?
It never went away.
A news director on whatever various platforms said, let's go to the January 6th, let's go to the drag shows, let's go wherever it is.
Let's go, it was Mar-a-Lago, let's go here, let's, whatever.
Because the thing I'm trying to tell you, you cannot turn to the media to tell you what's going on.
You have to be an autodidact.
You have to be self-taught.
The shortages are still there.
Which brings me to food shortages.
I would say read the headlines, but you're saying, but what headlines?
No, you're watching TV.
Or you're allowing Twitter or social media platforms to tell you what the news is.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Do not do this.
The issue of food shortages never went away.
We talk about Ukraine.
We talk about Russia.
We talk about Zelensky and Putin to an extent.
But what about...
These are the breadbaskets.
This is the wheat.
Ukraine and Russia?
We don't talk about that.
But other people are.
And this is the part that I'm telling you.
Food shortages are critical.
That's why you've got to write down preparewithlionel.com.
Read.
When I'm done, read this.
Farmers can't plant as many crops now because of fertilizer shortages, forest regulations, high fuel prices.
ESG constraints, World Economic Forum, you've heard this, Germany, Canada, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka, climate change regulations, climate change mandates, farms closing, cattle being sold off.
There is a move now to basically, and I'm plant-based, I don't want to do this, but there's a move now to basically remove or do...
Expurgate from the world.
Meat!
That's your choice.
Food shortages.
I can't explain.
It's here.
Preparewithlinel.com This is so important.
The food, I keep telling people this, and I'm The best way to prevent this from happening is to take the time now, go to preparewithlionel.com, is to invest in ready hour, emergency food from my Patriot Supply.
It's a perfect way to hedge against skyrocketing prices.
Go right now, preparewithlionel.com.

This is serious.
And nobody's going to make you do it.
And the information is there.
TV shows aren't covering it.
Now let me say something to you.
Irrespective of what you believe is your political inclination, I don't care.
The right to vote.
You have the right to have your vote counted.
You have the right to participate.
This country, this wonderful, this brave republic has been involved trying to keep your franchise intact since day one.
From Civil Rights Act, from poll taxes, to literacy tests, to The 19th Amendment was about 100 years, well, a long time after the 13th Amendment, which basically prohibited slavery.
Women couldn't vote.
By the way, I've got these wonderful little YouTube shorts.
I hope you catch those.
They're mighty tasty.
And I found a whole new group of people who love to hear shorter.
Like one minute.
Okay.
Versions of some piece.
And I did one that was very popular on flaxseed and how to make the perfect oatmeal.
Who knew?
But my friends, listen to me in a spirit of bipartisan unity.
In the spirit of collective cooperation, I say to you, focus on the issues, irrespective of what they are.
Left, right, up, down, conservative, liberal, whatever.
Democrat, Republican, Biden, what have you.
Participate in this.
I don't want to hear anybody say, well, and that's what I was saying.
There's this thing.
This expression, this shibboleth, this epithem that says something to the effect of if voting mattered, it would be illegal.
If voting mattered, it would be against the law.
If voting was effective, this is what people believe.
And it's been attributed to Mark Twain, Philip Berrigan, remember the Berrigan brothers?
Emma Goldman.
And it's cute.
And it's nonsense.
George Carlin used to say, quit voting for these people and stop encouraging them.
It sounds good.
Is there anyone who is listening to me right now who is not going to vote?
Is there anyone who says, I, you know, I don't bother.
Votes have, and we can argue whether they get there or not, whether they're counted, whether there's voting, whatever.
Fine.
But, I don't know where you are, but in New York, it is so easy and accommodating to vote early, to vote absentee, to vote...
It's an event.
And there is nothing like going to your precinct in New York City to see your neighbors.
You don't ever see these people.
See my little, this is my constitution, but you see right here?
These are all of my little stickers.
I love these stickers you get.
And you get them after you're done, and I used to like, by the way, to take these things, you know, wear them, of course, and then put them on a piece of wax paper or something, and then maybe six weeks or a month later, take them out and put them on your clothes again.
And have them think, did he vote, or is he wearing that jacket from wherever?
I crave the ability to vote.
I love the ability to vote.
I love voting.
Please love it too.
I want you to understand something.
I have many friends who do not agree with me politically, who don't agree with me in terms of diet, music, jokes, sense of humor.
Style.
Vocabulary.
Worldview.
Perception.
Doesn't mean they're right or wrong, but we don't agree.
We don't agree.
We don't share.
And you know what?
It doesn't make any difference.
We have been separated for so long.
And I want you to think to yourself.
I want you to ask yourself this.
Why is it that you think what you're thinking?
Trump.
That derangement syndrome has been used to paralyze.
Listen, there's a lot of reasons not to like him.
I understand it.
Him or his policies or his family or what he's done or him.
I got it.
I understand it.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I remember Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bush after the Iraq war.
This is nothing new.
This is nothing new.
People think for some reason this started.
I promise you that any particular anti-Trump or any kind of Trump TDS that occurred after, well, occurred would most probably have been surpassed by what they were saying about Lincoln.
Lincoln?
It was to say it was more than just racist.
FDR?
Oh, dear God.
How about Grover Cleveland with his White House bride?
Brutal!
Andrew Jackson, and he said he was a bigamist.
I mean, nothing's new.
This is nothing new.
But we always think it happens now.
History is so critical, my dear friend.
I want to go back to what I said before.
If I see one more, I'll give you an example.
The Pennsylvania race.
Okay.
They're making a big mistake.
Do not mock somebody because he's had a stroke.
I've been telling people, be careful about this Joe Biden.
You know, he's demented or he's had a...
People are...
Diagnosing dementia, Alzheimer's.
No, they know.
They're using these terms as, you know, generic terms.
Well, that's what I think it is.
Well, who are you?
I don't know.
It's the word I use.
Well, it's a diagnosis.
You don't say that.
Be very careful with that.
And they're doing the same thing with Fetterman.
And they spent so much time talking about Fetterman.
Fetterman said this.
Fetterman said that.
Fetterman believes this.
Okay, fine.
What does Oz think?
Huh?
What does Mehmet Oz think?
Well, see?
That's exactly what they're doing.
And when you do that, you mis- underestimate, as George Bush would say, the role of politics.
Let me give you an example.
If CNN were here, or...
The Fox News folks that would say, excuse me, but you apparently have confused us with being responsible for providing some type of fair and balanced or anything.
I mean, that might be something that we do, but that's not what we do.
We are not a part of the government, and they will be 100% correct.
Okay?
100% correct.
Let me ask you a question.
What is the most, what is the biggest What is the biggest issue right now?
If something is going to motivate you to vote, if something is going to make you go out during the midterms, what is it, number one, the thing that has never been, where you've never been more riled?
Okay?
Why?
Why?
Or what, rather, I should say.
What?
What is it?
For me, it doesn't matter because I'm going to vote no matter what.
There's always something.
There's always something.
But what is it?
You're going to go out and you're going to vote for what?
You're going to vote Democrat, Republican, you're going to vote for Fetterman or Oz or whatever it is.
In Florida, you're going to vote for Charlie Crist or DeSantis.
Whatever.
You're going to vote.
Why?
What is it?
What is the reason?
What is the reason?
And if you don't have a reason, don't worry about it.
Do you ever have a hankering for something to eat?
Do you ever have something?
Something to eat?
You think, God!
I would...
I want fried chicken, or whatever it is that you...
Do you ever have this?
And I always thought there was something in your body, some particular mineral or something that is pulling you, that is...
Something that makes you, and your body is craving magnesium or whatever it is.
I always thought that.
Well, I vote.
It doesn't matter.
I'm going to vote no matter what.
But is there something?
And I have yet to hear anybody ever do, ever, a real political campaign or commentary that makes sense.
Let me explain what something is.
What is your favorite movie?
Your favorite movie?
Mine is The Godfather.
Godfather 1. It's my favorite.
Maybe my generation.
Maybe whatever.
And I cannot tell you why.
I cannot point to a particular scene.
I cannot point to a particular...
Is it the lighting?
The dialogue?
I don't know.
But that's it.
But it is a feeling.
It's a feeling.
I like that.
I like this show.
There's a familiarity.
The Godfather is one of those shows that I can watch a million times even though I'm leaving.
It's like, why am I stopping?
I've got it on YouTube.
No, I've got to watch.
Politics is like that.
Running for office.
I am running and I'm speaking to you.
Now, of my audience, I'm going to say this for a million times, there are people who are not going to vote for me.
The people who are going to vote for me, merely because of party.
That's it.
Fine.
So whom do I address?
The people in the middle.
The undecided.
The undecided.
And in an election, right now, if there is, if somebody is undecided, are they leaning for the incumbent or for the challenger?
Think about this.
The most important news in the world.
If somebody is undecided in an election, Let's say there's DeSantis in Florida versus Charlie Crist, and you're undecided.
And you're saying, I'm not sure if I want to vote for DeSantis again.
You're leaning towards Crist.
That's why you're undecided.
It always is like that.
There are always these axiomatic truths that whenever in midterms, it's always an endorsement about the incumbent.
And we know that.
So the people that are...
It's great to be the challenger.
So when you're the incumbent, if you're, let's say, a Charlie Crist, your message is completely different.
The message is simple.
We're on our way.
We can't stop now.
We've got more to do.
With your help and your support, we're going to do it.
This is what we've done.
Thank you for that.
I need your help.
Join forces.
We're going to make the state of Florida better.
We're going to do this.
We're going to do that.
We've got this.
Forget the opposition.
Don't talk about them.
But we troll today.
And we have to talk about the way they look.
I happened to catch the first part of...
Like I said, I watched the first maybe segment.
I had it on a little longer today.
Tucker Carlson's piece.
Very, very interesting.
I want to see what they're doing.
And I cannot believe, on two separate occasions, one from him and one from his guests, they talk about what somebody looks like.
Or what they sound like.
Or what their face looks like.
We have got to stop this.
I know what Brian Stelter looks like.
You don't have to tell me.
Tell me what he said.
I don't care about somebody's voice on CNN.
I don't care.
And by the way, Tucker, I was going to say, love you, man, but for those of us who do not have Robert Goulet stentorian pipes, and those of us who laugh like Mozart, or that movie Amadeus, you might want to think, I'm just going to stay away from it.
Don't talk about people's glasses, people's looks, whether their eyes are too close together, their hands, whatever.
There was a guest about Georgetown Medicals.
Don't talk about how weird they look.
That is not an argument.
You lose me.
You lose me.
We don't care.
You want to go through history and look at some of the greatest people who have done the most to benefit and to supplement the greatness of the human species, and they might not have been exactly runway material.
But anyway, stay away from them.
But people can't because social media have collectively taught us how to troll.
We talk about what people look like, what they sound like, or what they, you know.
That's as good as it gets.
Keep that out of your political commentary.
I know it's fun.
If you want to talk about something, talk about something.
For example, here's one I talked about yesterday on my private channel at Lionel Media.
LionelMedia.com What's the difference when Kanye West says something anti-Semitic and Ilan Omar does?
With no reference to what they look like.
It's a very interesting question.
Is there a difference?
You could say, well, Ilhan Omar is not anti-Semitic.
Okay, fine.
Good.
That's a reason.
And Kanye West is or isn't.
But let's talk about this.
The level of discussion is so base, so childish, that it is not It's just not funny.
That's why I eliminate so much of this from my review.
Now, speaking of great products, were we speaking of great products?
We are now.
You know what I'm talking about.
My man, Mike Lindell.
Right now in New York City, it's 47 degrees.
How...
Wonderful and glorious.
Growing up in Florida, we never had this.
It was always hot.
Too damn hot.
God, it's hot.
You've got to be kidding me when it's hot.
Anybody who wants to move to Florida, good luck.
I hope you can handle it.
I can't change the weather.
Okay.
You're right about that.
I understand that.
But...
What's interesting to note is that when the windows are open and it's cool, the MyPillow Giza Dream sheet sets, on sale.

I look for the day, I yearn for the day, I hope for the day, I beg for the day, I pray for the day that we are able to discuss things rationally, like adults.
But I don't think that day is coming soon.
I don't want people to understand that.
Please, I don't care what you don't like.
That doesn't mean anything to me.
In my restaurant, in my world, I want to serve you something you do like.
And if your entire political persuasion has been talking about anti-Trump or anti-Biden, if that's it, if that's it, you are in severe need of remedial help.
Politically.
Because that's not the way a society benefits.
My friends, as I said, please do me a favor.
Sign up right now.
Brand new.
There's a brand new newsletter going out at 10 a.m.
Lens Warriors.
Go there and look at what the ALI and the MPC is being done and how nobody's talking about this because frankly it might be a little I don't want to say intellectually stultifying but yes, I will say that.
Let me also tell you thank you.
Thank you for your support.
Remember I'm doing this and we're doing this because we collectively believe in this intellectual pursuit called, I don't know, crowdsourcing or this collective melange, this mosh pit.
You have been wonderful.
And the support you've shown is something that is so ingratiating.
People ask, how can we help?
Now that you've been demonetized and demonized, but not demoralized, how can we help?
Look right now under the section of this, the description section, and there's Patreon and PayPal and Cash App and Bitcoin and every other means of contributing and support, and we thank you for that.
You make this worthwhile.
We thank you.
Support the arts.
Support the people that help you.
Because remember, there is a revolution going on right now, an information revolution, and currency.
The currency that we use is information.
And truth.
Have a great and glorious day.
You see you tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel, 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
