The End There is nothing more sad, or few things sadder, than somebody who has deluded themselves into thinking, I've got this figured out.
I've got this whole thing figured out.
I understand it.
I get it.
There's nothing worse than having somebody basically played by someone of note, by someone who has decided to create the image of something that provides this notion that you know what's going on.
Very few things in the world.
Truly.
Very, very few things.
Now, I don't know how to say this to you.
I don't know how to bring it to your attention.
I don't even know how to...
What?
Oh.
Beat her husband?
Someone broke into Nancy Pelosi's home?
Oh my God.
Honey, you've got to be careful.
You scare me all of a sudden.
It's like, oh my God, what happened?
Now, let me go back to Elon Musk.
Let me go back to this.
You think that this is the biggest deal that anybody has ever seen.
You are of the opinion, and I know you are, that somehow Elon Musk buying Twitter is going to reinvigorate, reintroduce you to this thing called what?
The First Amendment?
Free speech that everybody can talk?
Now that The Babylon Bee?
Now that the Babylon Bee, or better yet, even Trump, that they can exist and return, that somehow the world is better off?
Do you think that?
You do, because you have been led to believe.
That Elon Musk is the cool guy.
The cool kid.
The one who is the rogue.
The guy who's going to be in charge of things.
The guy who's going to return everything to normal.
Babylon B's back.
Libs of TikTok.
Trump.
Whoever your favorite.
We can maybe talk about...
Vaccines or Russia or something.
And that because of this, and because some people that you don't know have been removed, you're loving this because you're in that troll mentality.
You're in that swarm.
It's the idea that...
We're the good guys one.
We're the cool guys.
Elon's a cool guy.
Because he's on Joe Rogan.
And Tucker likes him.
You don't know the first thing about him.
Believe me when I tell you this.
And trust me.
You don't know anything.
Not that it would matter.
Because you live in a world.
Like this, perpetuated by people like me, who make you think that the world of talk and podcasting and this is tantamount to, or maybe even better than, politics.
You think that.
You really think that.
You believe it.
You believe this.
You're under the impression that this matters.
That if somehow we can get to the bottom of this, or if somebody can shut that Joy Behar down, or Junk Yogurt, or whoever your favorite, it doesn't matter.
That somehow these people, if we can just shut them down, we're going to win.
We're going to win this thing.
And you believe that.
And you have believed that somehow Elon Musk is this rogue billionaire.
Are these people billionaires?
I'm going to ask the dumbest question in the world.
You're going to say, what is he talking about?
Are these people billionaires?
Do you think Kanye West is a billionaire?
Do you think Kylie Jenner is a billionaire?
Forbes says so.
Do you think that seriously?
Do you believe these things?
You do, don't you?
Do you believe the Tesla story, the SpaceX story?
Do you believe that, do you believe that, oh God, that Candace Owens' husband is going to buy Parler?
Or that, what's his name, was going to buy Parler with him?
Do you believe any of this stuff?
Do you think this is true?
Do you believe in CPAC?
Do you believe in Twitter trends?
Do you believe in trending?
Do you believe in the world that is provided to you through the prism of social media?
You do.
You do.
And you love to feel like the cool guy.
Joe Rogan.
Love Joe.
Joe Rogan is great.
But he's like the cool guy.
He's the rogue.
He's the hippie.
He's the one who takes...
He says what he wants.
Right?
He's the only one.
Right?
He's...
I mean...
And when Elon and Joe...
Together.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
And then you have these other groups.
When Tucker has on Josh Hawley.
Josh Hawley is the...
Josh Hawley.
Josh, what have you done?
What does anybody do?
Well, I was on Tucker Carlson.
You see what's happening?
You see what's happening?
It's the most beautiful world.
It's this parallel universe.
I'm sitting here.
I'm driving this bus.
This tour bus.
I'm thinking, we are lost.
But you're in the back and you're happy.
You're saying, this is great.
Air conditioning.
I love it.
This is fantastic.
Right?
It's exactly what you're thinking.
Because you love this.
You think this is...
Oh, and meta collapsing?
Well, what do you think that is about?
What does big tech collapsing mean?
What does that mean to you?
I don't know.
Meta.
I just hate Zuckerberg and that's all that...
Really?
What does this mean?
What does that mean?
Do you think nobody knew this was coming?
Do you think this...
Do you think...
Despite Jim Cramer crying, I'm sorry I told you to buy Meta.
Okay, fine.
Do you think, that's the first question, do you think, but do you believe this story?
Do you think, oh my God, what's going on with this stuff?
Is it just a course correction?
Do you think that Tesla is what they say it is?
Do you think that Tesla, one day people say, batteries?
What information do you need to know about that?
Do you think people are ready to...
I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
Do you believe this stuff?
Yes.
Say it.
You do.
Say it.
Tell me.
It's okay.
Tell me.
You know what?
I just...
I don't really go that...
Look, if there was something wrong to it, I just...
Look.
Don't make me think.
Because I'm going to go some other place.
I'm going to go some other place.
I just want to hear all my people that I hate blasted.
Don't tell me that some reality that I believe in is not really true.
Don't tell me that.
I don't want to hear that.
I don't want you to tell me again.
Oh, God.
You mean this isn't true?
You...
And when, right now, there's a big story, big story about big tech sell-off.
What does this mean?
I don't know.
Do you believe this?
Well, let me tell you what I don't believe.
Everything.
I don't believe any of it.
I'm sitting back, I'm saying, okay.
Well, that's what they tell me it is.
That's what they appear to be.
Do you, see, I don't forget.
Where's Candace Owens' husband, who along with Kanye was going to buy Parler?
Remember that?
Remember that?
Somebody says, Twatter, that's the joke, lost its mojo when patriots were deplatformed.
Do you think Twitter has lost its mojo?
Let me ask you a question.
It's a very good point.
Do you think that Twitter, Has lost its mojo?
This is important.
This is so important.
You think that your Twitter is their Twitter, right?
You think that the majority of people who are on Twitter care about the Babylon Bee or Trump or you know, whatever.
You think that.
You think that, well, your world, isn't that what most people think?
No.
There's about 90,000 different Twitterverse worlds who know nothing about what you're talking about.
Same thing for YouTube.
Most people on YouTube, they're not watching this.
Some guy's making a steak.
Have you ever heard how many people say, here's the way to make a steak, and they throw it down in a short, and they cut it, and they pan fry?
That's what people want.
They want little bursts of...
Whatever.
That's it.
You think that your world, yours, or mine, that people think like us?
Nobody thinks like we do.
We're in the minority.
We're in the minority.
Most people don't know what the hell you're even talking about.
Because that's the beauty of this.
Twitter creates this little goldfish bowl that you live in and you think, well, that's what people think.
No!
Elon Musk?
Who's Elon Musk?
What difference is that going to be?
And do you think, seriously, that he's going to say, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell all the big billionaires and trillionaires of the world, be careful.
Elon's here.
And I don't play games.
And I'm going to turn this upside down.
And all that stuff that you wanted quiet.
And all that stuff that you wanted real screw.
Oh, no, no.
We're going to double down on that.
And there's nothing you can do.
You really think that?
You don't think that somebody can go to Elon and say, watch this.
You believe it because it's what you want to believe.
It's a reality that you want and people are getting so upset now.
It's like, don't tell me that.
It's true.
You think this is.
Do you know what meta is about?
The metaverse?
No, you don't.
We talk about drag, dancing.
This has been around since, this has been maybe the 80s.
10, 15, 25 year incremental societal trends that come about.
So you can read the headline, and you can say, this is great.
This guy, this CEO that we don't like is gone.
And then somebody told me that I don't like this one, and they're gone.
And I'm happy because of this.
I'm happy because of this.
I'm happy because I don't like...
You told me not to like these people.
This guy here, he's the enemy, right?
Yeah, I don't like him.
I don't like him.
I don't like Joy Behar.
I don't like...
Junk yogurt.
I don't like whoever these people are.
I don't like them.
Because that's what this is about.
It's about, give me a personality.
Don't give me the big picture.
Don't give me the big thing.
Just let me know.
I know people hate this.
I know it.
But you're falling into the trap.
We don't know anything.
Elon Musk owning Twitter will mean and means nothing.
Nothing.
I mean, other than the fact that he owns Twitter and there's going to be some changes and whatever it is.
But the lightbulb and television, no.
No.
Don't fall for this.
You're going to be disappointed again.
Because you're going to say, okay, hold that thought for a moment.
Hold that thought.
Because this is something that I...
I feel sorry for people.
They get all wrapped up in this stuff.
And they really think, they're like, wow.
I just...
You mean this is kind of a distraction?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
But let me tell you something that is not a distraction.
What's happening with the world right now?
You know, you've got to hand it to some people.
They're reminding you that, yes, there is a place called the world.
And it is becoming more dangerous.
It is becoming more dangerous than anything you have ever seen.
Don't worry about that.
That's why my Patriot Supply is going the extra mile to make their emergency food as affordable as possible.

Those who know what's coming are using...
Today to prepare.
That's preparewithlionel.com Okay.
Let's say right now, as we speak, every single thing you have ever wanted to say is now available on Twitter.
Everything.
Trump, COVID, conspiracy theories, moon landings, anything.
Just imagine this.
Every long lost spokesperson show, there are people I forgot.
Remember that one guy who was like this?
He looked like Max Headroom.
I don't know, he's just gone one day.
Let's assume everybody's back.
Everybody.
You know what it means?
Think about it.
Nothing.
What does it mean?
Okay, go ahead.
Remember the guy who...
And he couldn't say this about...
He's back.
Okay, now what?
Go ahead.
Now he's saying it on Twitter.
Okay.
And let's say he's not being, you know, shadow banned or the numbers deflated.
Okay, what does that mean?
I'm asking you.
What?
Let's assume, other than, well, I'm happy.
Okay.
I'm happy.
I get to see somebody.
Okay.
That's good.
That's a good one.
Other than that, other than that, what does it mean?
What does it mean?
What's going to change?
Nothing.
Nothing.
This kills people.
They go, wait, what are you talking about?
Nothing's going to change.
What do you need to change things?
Because I'm interested in change.
I don't want to hear somebody...
I'm going to tell you something right now, which I shouldn't.
But I listen to virtually no one.
I don't.
I just do smatterings and different things.
I really don't.
I find nothing where I'm thinking, I did not know that!
Or, I never thought about that that way.
That's a unique way of looking at this.
Never!
It's like, I know that.
I know it.
I've heard that.
I've heard that.
I've heard it.
Why do I want to hear somebody who replicates what I think?
I don't want to hear that.
But that's me.
I'm different.
I understand that.
But nothing's going to change.
Because what you need to change is legislation.
You understand this?
Nothing changes without legislation.
Nothing changes without voting.
Nothing changes.
Nothing.
And what they're doing right now is social media create this illusion that somehow you, by virtue of this, will believe that this world you live in, this world, this, this world here, that this can be replaced.
Because this is too complicated.
Do you really want to talk about this?
See, this is our side of the world.
See this?
This is the other side.
This is too complicated.
You really want to talk about Ukraine?
No, no, no.
No, you really want to talk about that?
No, I don't want to talk about that.
Let's talk about this one.
So easy.
What do you want to talk about?
Oh, I don't know.
Well, Biden, hey, can you show me a funny thing?
Do you have a new picture of Biden walking into a lost?
I like that one.
That's good.
Want to talk about that?
Okay.
If you told me...
Well, let me just...
Let me just...
Let me just change this.
I've always said that I want to have a movie.
And in my movie, I'm the...
I'm the wise man.
The Jor-El.
The whatever you want to call it.
The Superman.
Whatever.
I don't know what it is.
And I bring somebody in and I'm saying, sit down, young man, young lady.
Do you know what we do?
Do you know what I do?
I control what people think.
I am the psychologist general.
Not the attorney general, not the surgeon general, the psychologist.
I control what people think.
And what we do is, we own, this is my movie now, we own theaters and we own You know, movie companies and studios and media.
And I am not interested in it.
Let me have something which is so terrible.
I'm going to have a show which is so terrible, so awful, so god-awful.
I'm going to call it The View.
And I'm going to have people who have no business talking about this.
And I'm going to take people who are people that you find Attractively obnoxious.
You're drawn to them because they don't know what they're talking about and they don't know that they don't know what they're talking about.
And I'm going to put them on and you're going to go crazy.
And you're going to talk about this.
Then, I'm going to go to this other company that we own.
And we own everything.
It's called a social media.
And I'm going to say that you're going to trend What this woman, Joy Behar, said.
You're going to put this here.
And you're going to put that here, here, and here.
And then people are going to talk about that.
And it's the craziest thing.
What does it do?
It distracts people.
And it convinces them into thinking, this is how complicated it gets.
And I'm going to get people who say things that are the most...
For example, I'm going to get somebody who says, I never said defund the police.
And you're going to say, well, here you are saying defund the police.
Well, I didn't say that.
Yes, you did.
Well, I think I did.
No, you didn't.
And people will talk about this forever because I will distract you from it.
I will put on things that just make no sense.
And I will have each person, each side.
And I will have on people.
And by the way...
The people that this group, CNN I'm going to call it, I'm going to call it The View and others.
By the way, I'm going to have it on the other side too, but these are not for people who actually watch that, because those people already believe it.
These are to infuriate the other group.
And basically, now on this group, on this group, on the right, I'm going to call it right and left, I'm going to have people say things that are just...
And they're going to say something.
Like, for example, they're going to say, there's no such thing as climate change.
That's what they're going to say.
I'm going to then, on this other group, say, you're not going to believe what this guy said.
This guy said there's no climate change.
And I'm going to tell all of my producers, make sure you have on, just go crazy over this.
Go crazy over this.
Good.
Then I'm going to hire some people who are, well, they're not stupid.
They just know what to do.
One of my best examples was, I'm going to show a picture of a riot, and I'm going to have somebody on this show say that that wasn't rioting, but that was protesting.
And that will cause these people to go crazy.
And then these people will argue with these people.
And I don't want anybody on any kind of show who is rational.
No, no, no.
I want somebody who...
And while they're talking, while they're arguing, And while they're thinking that they're actually doing something, I'm going to push them over there, and I'm going to keep going over here.
Because my view, what I want to be done, is in the future.
And they don't know how to look.
They're too busy arguing this point.
They don't see where this is going.
They don't understand it.
They don't recognize this, how I'm affecting everything, not at the political level, but I want to affect the world.
But I've got some problems here.
Because we have my side, and for lack of a better word, we'll call it the West, and then we have these BRICS countries, and then we have the Middle East over here, and not a lot of people are talking, and there's a lot of...
You see, that's not working.
But I don't want this side to know about it.
I want them to be arguing about something that doesn't even matter.
Hey, did you see what this one said?
Hey, did you see what this Bill Maher said?
Bill Maher?
You hear that?
Hey, Joy Behar, I think, well, this is important.
Did you know that there was a man who was arrested because he said that his daughter saw a nude man inside of a...
What?
Yes, we're going to have him on.
Oh my God.
Really?
Yes!
He was arrested because he called the police to say there was a man in his daughter's locker room and she was arrested too.
I'm just making this up.
And you'll go crazy about that.
Talk about that forever.
Meanwhile, this stuff is going over here.
And by the way, it works both ways.
Then I'm going to get these military people.
Jack Keene is my favorite.
Jack Keene, this is military-industrial complex.
It's just, well, he's a four-star general.
He's a general.
Four-star.
And people are saying, okay, look.
I don't understand what this is about.
I did the best I could.
Okay, I flew a flag, I guess.
I don't know.
Is it the blue on top and the yellow?
Okay, good.
I don't understand that.
That's what's happening.
That is what's happening.
And you're just, you know.
But right now, the big story is you're going to be saying, oh, Elon Musk.
And Elon is an absolute Genius.
A genius at getting people to notice it.
You in particular.
Go down with me to Times Square.
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go?
Want to go to a mall?
Where would you like to go?
Mall of America?
Would you like to go to one part of the country and say, hey, Jerry, but Elon Musk bought Twitter?
You will be astounded.
How many people say, who?
But within your little world, your goldfish bowl, that's the biggest news in the world.
And your narrow casting will reflect it.
Because you go to these things to hear what you want.
Sports people go over here.
They don't know about Elon Musk.
They're people who are into...
See what's trending.
Do yourself a favor.
Spend some time on YouTube looking at what the big numbers are.
Big.
The big numbers.
Whether they're true or not, let's just assume they are.
You won't recognize any of them.
That's the world.
That's the world.
And meanwhile, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, who's going on The View, and Marsha Blackburn, where is she?
I don't know.
She's gone somewhere.
John Kennedy?
I don't know.
They come and they go and they have their moments.
They're doing nothing.
Nothing's happening.
And we have the midterms coming up.
Whatever.
We'll see what happens to that.
I am absolutely, positively ready for the shock of my life.
Don't be surprised if nothing comes out the way it is.
And, remember, watch what you say about that.
So, I mean, this never ceases to amaze me.
What have you not learned?
Do you remember Vietnam?
No.
Do you remember Vietnam?
I do.
Do you remember JFK?
Remember Watergate?
Remember this stuff?
Everything follows this pattern.
And we didn't have social media then, but we kind of had an idea.
More people knew what was going on before social media than we do now.
What does that mean?
Because people are compartmentalized into their particular room, their group.
That's what's going on.
I can't say it enough.
I can't say it enough to you.
I can't.
Look what January 6th has become.
Look at that.
They're still talking about it.
January 6th.
January 6th.
Let me say something about the Democrats.
They don't miss a beat.
They are so good.
What have the Republicans done that's worthwhile?
What?
Tell me the big Republican thing.
Tell me.
Where's been the Republican success?
Tell me.
I don't know.
I don't think it exists.
Nowhere.
Nowhere.
Nothing.
You've had, maybe, they've stopped a few things.
Nowhere.
I'm telling you, once you understand this, you'll say, you know what?
I can breathe.
Elon Musk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll see.
Instead of jumping on it, like, this is the end.
This is the end.
Oh, my God.
This is the most important thing in the world.
This is the most important thing in the world.
That's all.
All right, my friend.
Oh, one more thing, by the way.
Very, very important.

I'm sorry.
Look where we're going right now.
You've got Joe Biden, who doesn't know where he is.
Always eating ice cream.
Somebody suggested this is something that Alzheimer's patients do.
I don't know.
You've got Kamala Harris, who...
Did you hear?
I love electric buses.
Okay.
You've got Karen Jean-Pierre, who was so profoundly overwhelmed and under-talented, it's not even funny.
You've got Herschel Walker, who bless his heart.
You've got Eric Adams, our mayor of New York, mayor of the largest city in the United States, who is clueless.
A boorish, moonbat, benighted oaf, who just doesn't get it.
Listen to him.
Fetterman.
Dear, I feel sorry for Fetterman.
And that's not good.
That's not good.
Dr. Oz?
The only way Dr. Oz can win is against Fetterman?
What happened to people who spoke?
What happened to William Buckley?
What happened to Gore Vidal?
What happened to Adlai Stevenson?
What happened to Clement Attlee?
What happened to Winston Churchill?
What happened to all these people?
We've never had any...
We used to think that George W. Bush was the most inarticulate rube there was.
This guy is John Yilgood compared to this.
What is happening?
Mark my words.
Remember I'm telling you this.
One day, you are going to see a person who runs for office who does not speak English.
Can't.
Either because he speaks another language or cannot physically make a sound.
Think about that.

Also make sure you go to Mrs. L's YouTube site at Lynn's Warriors and learn what's happening to kids regarding cannabis.
Oh, the stoners go crazy with that.
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
Read the news!
Read the news.
I don't want you to wake up and be alert and be an adult.
And don't be taken in by these people, alright?
Okay.
Thank you so much, my friends.
We love you madly.
See you tomorrow.
Same bad time, same bad channel at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
