Let me begin by starting off with the following story.
Recently, I had the chance.
We were at an event.
Child.
Little girl.
I don't know if she's five or six.
Who knows?
We're all sitting around and we're passing things out.
And there was a cookie that we had.
One of Mrs. L's cookies.
So I said, you know, let me ask you a question.
Because everybody was getting cookies.
I said, let's assume.
Have you ever seen when a kid looks at you and they're really listening to you?
I said, this is interesting.
I said, let's assume we had one cookie between us.
Just one.
What would we do?
What would we do?
How would we handle this?
I want a cookie.
You want a cookie.
But we only have one.
What could we do?
She said, without blinking an eye, share it, I said.
Interesting.
Yes.
Share it.
Well, how would you share a cookie?
Well, we, you know, cut it.
You mean cut it in half?
Yeah.
Now I'm thinking to myself, I'm teaching her division.
This is division.
This is fantastic.
This is incredible.
Now, Here's the cookie.
And it was like a knife.
I said, let's assume I cut the cookie like this.
It's right down the middle.
Would that be fair?
And I threw in the word fair.
Would that be fair?
Yes.
This is a kid.
I think five, six, who knows?
But understood the inherent Notion of fairness.
Okay?
Alright.
Now, let's assume I cut the cookie like this where it was like 10% for her and 90% for me.
Would that be fair?
No!
I said, but what if I'm more hungry?
What if I Then haven't eaten.
What if I like the cookie more than you do?
What if I'm older than you?
What if I'm an adult and you're a kid?
What if I bought the cookie and you didn't?
What about all those things?
Would that be fair?
Think about what that is.
That's equity.
Versus equality.
Equality is right down the middle.
Here's yours.
Here's mine.
That's it.
We're all happy.
I don't know how we got there.
I don't know whose cookie it is.
I don't know whatever.
50-50, you, me, that's it.
Okay, fine.
But even the kid realized, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
This isn't fair.
In essence, saying, who cares?
You're more hungry?
Well, okay.
You say you are, but...
So what I was teaching this kid was, number one, division.
This is math.
Division.
Division doesn't mean division.
Division means equally.
There's no equity in division.
There's no, for example, let's split the cookie among two, and here's the equity version of it where you plug in your degree of, you know, earnings worth, deserving.
There's no way to work this in.
Let's work the...
How much do you deserve this?
Deserve it?
What are you talking about?
That's where we are today.
Do this.
Even kids recognize.
These factors you're throwing in.
These factors of...
Last night the Astros beat the Yankees.
Swept them.
In the division, whatever it is.
I mean, just...
The Yankees!
The Yankees!
They're the biggest payroll.
I think they always had the biggest payroll of anybody.
And when they went into it, nobody said, now listen, Yankees, you've got to spot the Astros a couple of points because, well, you know, you've been around longer and they're in the front.
What?
In sports, it's a meritocracy.
There's no such thing as equity.
You might have a handicap when you play golf or bowl.
Maybe, but that's not in professional leagues.
Not in professional leagues.
It's brutal.
Oh no, you lost.
That's it.
Yeah, but you don't understand.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, but this team has more.
I don't care.
How many more players they have or people or the diversity?
I don't know.
Equity doesn't exist.
In the real world, even a child knows it.
Even a child recognizes what we're talking about right now.
Fairness.
Fairness is a doctrine which every human being knows.
And it involves a thing called justice.
It involves a lot of other aspects too.
I speak to it.
I want fairness.
I want equality.
If it's good for you, it's good for me.
That's it.
Anytime you try to adjust things, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
I'm going to talk more and more about this.
This is a fascinating topic today.
First, I want to tell you right now, my friends, as the world gets more and more dangerous, that's right, dangerous with each passing day, it's time to make your family safe and to make sure your family is prepared for severe food shortages ahead.

Preparewithlionel.com.
Write it down.

Wait a minute.
One more time, Jerry.

Those who know what's coming are using today to prepare.
Are you?

There's something which is very important.
Something called Topology.
You know what topology is?
Topology.
Topology.
Topology studies the properties of spaces that are invariant under any continuous deformation.
Sometimes called the rubber sheet geometry.
Topology is a study of the overall Subject of something.
It's not just math.
The topology is like, there's one thing about here's math, and here are numbers, and here are additions.
But to understand the scheme of how things work is so monumentally important and critical.
I can't say it enough.
You must be, and I just, by the way, I did a There is a story about...
This is on my private channel, the premium channel, linomedia.com, about a fellow who is...
I've been talking about getting chips implanted.
That's coming.
And I'm trying to get people to understand for the longest time.
And I have been trying my very best.
I've been trying my very best.
To get people to understand and to recognize how critical this is.
And it works something like this.
And I'm going to say it again.
I'm going to say this again and make it very, very clear.
We're living in a world right now where we are being told that certain things, certain rules apply.
And nobody is saying, wait a minute, this doesn't make any sense.
This isn't fair.
This doesn't make any sense.
And we're just letting it go.
This past week I talked to you about Sashin Littlefeather.
I talked to you about Iron Ice Cody.
I talked to you about Rachel Dolezal.
I talked to you about so much.
And there was this word called racial and cultural appropriation.
And it was a word that I never understood.
In fact, they even jumped on Andrew Zimmern because he was doing some kind of an Asian restaurant or something.
There is something which we are losing in this country.
It's the notion of this is not fair.
And I do not understand how people can say they are something.
Now listen to this.
In some respects, but not in others.
Rachel Dolezal said that she was African American when she wasn't.
That's it.
She couldn't think it.
She couldn't feel it.
She couldn't...
Transition, she couldn't...
No.
She wasn't cis-racial or trans-racial.
No, no, no.
They didn't want to hear anything of it.
You.
Uh-uh.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
Yet other people can say, yes, but I'm whatever.
Kamala Harris, I don't even know what people claim they are, because claiming what they are, especially when you look at Ancestry.com and Ancestry, is a very simple thing.
But the big picture to understand, what I want you to grasp and hold on to, is the realization and the recognition of the fact that there is something very simply called equality.
Not equity.
Equality.
And we have to have some certain rules that are very simple, and equality will set you free.
Am I making sense?
Are you grasping this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Because I'm seeing all kinds of talk, and I don't think people are really getting this.
I'm feeling very unsure about this election.
About the midterms, I'm feeling very unsure about this because I see exactly what the Republicans and everybody are doing and they're kind of missing the point here.
And whenever I try at any level, at any level whatsoever to try to explain to somebody what it is that my, what I believe in terms of politically and otherwise, I find myself Realizing that I'm just wasting my time.
And I'm going to say this to you right now.
I find myself thinking I'm wasting my time.
I'm looking at what stories, quote, trend.
I don't understand it.
I don't fit in here.
I don't fit in.
And what I want people to understand is that sometimes an event will come.
Sometimes an event will happen and say, no, you don't understand why that's important.
No, you don't recognize why that's important.
No, no, no, no.
This is a different story.
Please tell me how in our world, if you explain to somebody from another planet, explain this to them.
There is an inordinate amount of attention In the world regarding January 6th and alleged violations of the law, including insurrection, which isn't really a law, but sedition,
which may in fact have taken place, President Trump's involvement, his knowledge, his incitement, what he did, what he didn't do, the documents he had, were they classified, were they not, did he...
Improperly take them.
Punctilious, scrupulous, microscopic review of every single thing that is there.
Everything.
Everything that is there.
Yet, at the same time, explain this to me, the Hunter Biden investigation is gone.
It's over.
John Durham, the Republicans were told, is going to be the savior, the white hat.
He's going to deliver people from this world of nothing has happened.
Nothing.
The Hunter Biden investigation went nowhere.
And now there's a case where it is being alleged that big tech conspired or was influenced with the FBI and others.
And people are talking about that.
Sort of.
But it's not making any...
So we're looking at this, and I want you to imagine this.
I want you to imagine, I want you to close your eyes, and I want you to think for yourself, think for a second, that you were in an emergency room, in an ED, the emergency department.
I was listening to this wonderful lecture the other day about something in the emergency room, and they said, Problems with ED, with the ED in emergency.
I'm thinking ED is an emergency?
I'm thinking erectile dysfunction, but anyway.
Imagine being in an ER and you walk in and nobody's doing anything.
You're seeing people brought in This one's in the middle of a heart attack.
This one has a very serious gash.
This one was in a car accident.
This kid may have ingested some kind of poison or something.
And yet, the office staff, the medical professionals, are either not there or they're worried about something that isn't important.
They're focusing on, let's say, a patient who stubbed their toe.
There's no triage.
What would you think?
That's the way we are right now.
That's what's going on right now.
We live in this world in which nobody seems to know what is and isn't important.
We have a government that is a waste of time.
Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, they are doing nothing.
We have a mayor of New York City who is an oaf.
Who is absolutely cretinous.
This is the most...
You have not lived until you just listen.
Listen to what he said.
About anything.
Let me just give you an idea.
Just stop for a second.
Eric Adams has at his disposal, he could pick up, and many, many people have suggested this, he could pick up the phone and say, listen, Mayor Giuliani, you've got to promise me that you will never admit that we talked, but I need your help to solve crime.
Giuliani would do it.
He did it.
Ray Kelly, as Commissioner Kelly, listen, you can't tell anybody I talk about...
I need some help.
Okay.
Bill Bratton?
Yes.
I need to know what to do regarding this subway.
I need professional help.
I don't have anybody.
I've got to stop crying.
They would help.
They would do anything for free.
He's sitting on a brain trust of some of the greatest politicians ever and criminal justice, and he won't do it.
Nobody's saying anything about that.
Nobody's saying anything about that.
We have right now, listen to this.
How many beds are there?
How many tents?
2,000?
There are two, these, there are, and nobody will report this, there appears to be, there appears to be, two big, call it a tent, a facility, 2,000 beds, washer, dryers, this is Randall's Island, right?
For the illegal, excuse me, the migrants.
Wi-Fi, food, beds.
How many are there?
Seven.
Seven people are there.
Seven.
Seven.
Can't find this information anywhere.
We're going everywhere looking for this.
Where is this?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Here's something.
coming in Would you do me a favor?
Well, I guess I don't need this.
I need my thing hooked up.
My Ethernet.
I thought I had it plugged in, but I didn't.
That explains my world is involved in nothing but Kids are being subjected to...
Huh?
No, no, no.
The cord.
The cord.
The end of the cord.
The black cord.
The end of it.
See where the end...
Maybe it's in here.
Maybe it's right.
Oh, there it is.
It's in here.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I was an oaf.
I should be the mayor of New York.
Anyway.
Kids all over...
There we go.
Kids all over...
Thank you for that, by the way.
Kids all over the country are getting into their parents' edibles or edible marijuana.
And they are suffering from psychotic episodes like you cannot believe.
Please, do yourself a favor and just follow Mrs. L at Lynn's work.
Well, the kids are buying them, but parents are, remember, these are edibles that look like gummy bears.
Why do you think that is?
Why do you think that is?
Why?
Why?
Why are fentanyl pills being, they look like Candy.
Why is this happening?
Please, please tell me.
Why are we, what are we, is anybody even remotely, remotely, please tell me how that is a partisan issue.
Please tell me how that somehow is a Trump or Biden level of, please, please tell me this.
I don't understand.
We are, Let me see if I can rephrase it this way.
If you're watching anything on news, you're wasting your time.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And the fundamental things I tell people, I'm saying, do you understand?
Think about this.
And again, I'm going to back up because people, they still don't get it.
For 49 years, alright?
Since 1973, I was 15, 14, 15 years old at the time.
One of the things, the part of our collective cultural identity, this was like Jeopardy questions and all this, was this woman who we've always used as the model of Native American rights, who was a Native American?
We find out right now.
I want to slam on the brakes and say, wait a minute, hold it.
Do you see the parallels?
And I look around and I'm saying, no.
Nobody gets it.
Nobody sees it.
Why?
Let me tell you why.
In addition to a lot of things.
I know this may sound kind of rude or a bit much, but I'm going to tell you nonetheless.
There are people who cannot Understand, again, the topology, the big picture of what things mean.
The big picture.
The big story.
What does all of this mean?
What is happening here?
I don't know where to start with this.
I don't know where to start with this.
I don't understand.
We have in New York 2,000 seat availability for migrants.
When we have veterans, when we have mentally ill or homeless or families, and if you're American, nobody cares.
I've got to tell you something else, which I'm going to say something to you, and you're not going to recognize it.
And I don't want you to feel bad about this, but you're not going to understand this.
You're going to say, why is he talking about this?
Let me tell you what it is.
Our oafish, boorish, churlish, imbecile mayor, who by the way, Joe Biden, whatever they say about Joe Biden, he, you know, there's certain senescence that comes with age.
But anyway, our mayor had an attempt to have some kind of a summit at Gracie Mansion, which is the mayor's.
Official resonance.
And he was trying to say that the reason for the crime in the subway is because of the mentally ill.
Well, not necessarily true, but in part.
And he said, and I quote, something to the effect of, after all, there was a person the other day brandishing a sword.
Now, if you have lived your life, he's...
How old is he?
I think this is important.
Aaron's age.
This is...
He is...
He's 62. Ooh, he's 62 years old.
Younger than me.
62 years old.
And in 62 years, he's never heard the word sword.
Swashbuckler.
Sword.
Die by your own...
Felonist.
Sword.
Now, sword.
Pronounce S-O-R-D.
He says sword.
Now, you can say to yourself, come on.
No.
No.
Nobody says this.
He's never heard this.
He doesn't know this.
There are people from other countries who don't say this.
It's an addiction.
I'll give you another example.
Years ago, I worked.
There was a...
I worked tangentially around a person who was in the talk radio business who asked the question on air whether Mars, the planet Mars, had a sun, a star, main star, S-U-N.
And I immediately got up and I told there was a program Program director, by the way, remember, whenever you say program director on radio, do this.
Because they don't...
I don't know what that is.
There's somebody who's...
Whatever.
Anyway, program director.
I asked the program director, I said, did you just hear this?
Yes.
I said, you're not going to fire this person, are you?
No.
But if this person had said the F-bomb, you would have fired.
But not for this.
I said, do you know what this means?
When you have somebody working in front of your microphone who does not know that Mars is in our solar system and what solar system means, yes.
It's the same thing with this.
This man's saying sword.
I mean, it's just words that don't...
He speaks something.
He wants to be not bothered with this.
He loves to walk around wearing his jacket that says mayor.
He wants to have the police escort.
You should see the police, the security for the mayor in New York.
You can't believe it.
I mean, you think it's the president.
It's just incredible.
He wants to go out and eat, and he wants to be seen, and he wants to go to fashion.
You don't want to be bothered with this stuff.
He claims that he goes out at night spreading the good word and helping the economy, and then afterwards goes out and...
Looks through the subway.
Anyway, so what I said was, I said, do you understand what this means?
No, they don't.
Okay, fine.
Do you understand what's happening to our children right now, the number of people?
Do you understand that this notion of cannabis being harmless?
No.
Whatever happened to the fentanyl?
I don't know.
Whatever happened to our discussion of Afghanistan?
Did we just forget that?
Yeah, we forgot about that.
We just forgot about it.
We did?
Yeah.
And Hunter Biden?
Forgot about it.
The other day was...
Oh, they had...
They were talking about these terrible rights violations against women in Iran and the Canadian leadership.
You know what they did?
They had a Zoom call.
Isn't that great?
They had a Zoom call.
Well...
I don't fit in this world.
Somebody said to me, you know, it's very interesting, very, very important if you want to enjoy popularity on social media platforms is to reflect the stories that are trending.
I said, but the stories that are trending are stupid.
They're not important.
Well, I said, but the trending stories are Manufactured.
They're not real.
Nobody's really worrying about that.
Nobody.
And by the way, what if it happened to Kanye West?
You notice how the conservative says, oh, forget it.
He's gone.
We don't need him anymore.
Yeah, but the other day you said, oh, it's okay.
He said some anti-Semitic things, but he always said that.
Yeah, I know, but we...
Do you see where we are right now?
Do you see how we're not talking about anything?
Three topics that people talk about supposedly, theoretically, if you believe everything.
Inflation, crime, and children.
This is what people say represent so much.
And Carrie Lake and others are making headway and that sort of thing.
And yet, and I always look around and I ask people, do you see what's happening?
In the big picture, are you watching what's happening with China right now?
No, you're not.
Do you understand really the issue about Russia and Ukraine and the whole notion of NATO expansion and, quote, Soviet containment, which, what's wrong with that word?
There is no Soviet Union.
It's Russian containment.
Do you see how the Kennan Doctrine, the Mearsheimer Doctrine, the Kissinger Doctrine...
All of them are being violated.
And people will say, I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, what is it that allows you to maintain citizenship in this country?
You don't know what's going on.
Well, I'm too busy for that.
It's beyond me.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I know kind of stuff.
I know when somebody rips somebody.
Hey, this is great.
Look at all the news stories.
So-and-so rips.
If I see one more, one more.
Interview reference to Jordan Peterson arguing about somebody about pronouns.
The pronoun issue is over with.
You know that, right?
You notice how nobody puts pronouns at the bottom of their emails?
You notice that, honey?
Nobody does that.
It's gone.
One week, they were all over the place.
All over the place.
Remember that?
Everywhere.
He, him, they, which, I'm thou, by the way.
That's gone.
It just ends.
It's just, there's people forget, oh yeah, whatever.
Some people still want to argue about pronouns.
Who is doing, well, I don't see why I have to call you.
Is this really what's important?
Are you serious about this?
Is this important to you?
I mean, do you realize, we've got to do something about this.
If your grandparents rose from the dead and said, what have I missed?
Would the first thing out of your mouth say pronouns?
No!
But that's easy because when you have a third grade imagination and a first grade body of historical relevance, this is a big story to you because it's like, can you?
I mean, I'm just, what?
That's it.
And those stories are promoted, believe it or not, in my humble opinion, Let me rephrase this.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were distractions from the real stories that matter.
Because they don't.
They don't matter.
They don't matter.
Drag queen stories absolutely diverted everybody's attention.
It's the old squirrel.
That was the most...
They just went crazy.
And I knew it.
And there were people who came out of the world, well, we can't stand, I don't understand.
Do you understand what's happening here?
With all that is going on in the world, yes, it's important, but why is it that this has maintained so much of your focus?
Reference it, but what about the bigger picture?
No.
No.
Why?
Metrics.
Why do you think that is?
Metrics go up.
Do you think they're legitimate?
I assume they are.
But look what we didn't talk about when we're talking about drag shows, drag shows, drag queens.
They're important.
But it's like I said.
You have an emergency room, an emergency department.
You have many, many people injured.
You don't do one at a time.
You say, who needs my attention first?
Yes, we'll get to you, sir.
Yes, we'll get to you with your drag queens.
Yes, we'll get to you with your pronouns.
Yes, Jordan, sit down, please.
We'll get to you with your pronouns.
Whoever.
Whoever these people are.
I don't understand this.
How many times do you want to see somebody going to a college and belittling some 20-year-old about whatever who...
We need to return to a notion of equality, of issues, time spent, and relevance.
And I'm wasting my time.
What I just said to you is a complete and total waste of time.
A waste of time.
Because there's no...
Stop right there.
You know what's not a waste of time?
MyPillow.

So we have until November the 8th.
That's the big day.
And I am not expecting anything.
Absolutely nothing.
I don't believe the polls.
I don't believe common sense.
I don't believe anything.
And the reason why is because in terms of efficacy, if I were to look at polls as a form of medication, I would say there's no evidence that this is even effective.
So let me say to you, demand your own information.
And when something comes up and it is not I want you to ask this question, and I'm going to leave you with where we started off.
Why is it that we care about certain things, but not others?
Why is it that everybody said, and I'm going to just start off, and we'll be starting off, Rachel Dolezal lied, but other people, we can find out, Live their whole existence under a lie and nobody cares.
Why is this one different than that one?
That's it.

Look what's happening with kids with cannabis.
You're not believing.
Psychotic attack.
The number of psychotic Rushes and incidents in emergency rooms with kids consuming these things.
My friends, the weed, the Mary Jane you may have experienced in the 60s or 70s, that's not what we're talking about now.
And there's no regulations, there's no nothing.
Why do you think that is?
Why is it that we're not talking about opioids anymore?
This is beyond opioids.
And fentanyl, not fentanyl, F-E-N-T-A-N-Y-L, is still huge.
Alright, my dear friends.
You have a great and glorious day.
Thank you so much for your time, your effort, and your attention.
I mean that sincerely.
See you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel, 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
The show's over to sue you.
