When disaster hits, security isn't optional.
Let me ask you a question.
First of all, whenever somebody uses a term too much and it loses its meaning, what do you call that?
Dilution or misrepresentation or what have you?
For example, I'm getting tired of the word patriot being used by people who think they've cornered the market on it.
That they know what it means.
It's my patriotism.
I'm a patriot.
You're not.
Can you be a Democrat and be a patriot?
No.
Really?
No.
Can you support Nancy Pelosi and be a Democrat?
Absolutely not.
Are there any people in the military right now?
Willing to risk their lives for this country who are Democrats and support Nancy Pelosi?
Wow.
So you're a patriot?
And you're determining who's a patriot?
And you're giving out awards?
You're a patriot and you're not?
So Nancy Pelosi, no Democrats are patriots.
Is that it?
Is that what you're saying?
What do you think about a network that doesn't cover...
A candidate, a former president of the United States, who now is running for office.
Is that patriotic?
See, I love the way people just claim these terms.
And you need other people to say, wait a minute, hold it, hold it.
That's not fair.
I got into an argument that you cannot believe.
Somebody said the other day, pray for someone.
Pray for someone.
Pray.
So I said, does prayer affect things?
I just did a brand new piece at Lionel Media.
I won't go into greater detail, but I asked a question.
I said, does prayer affect physical outcome?
If somebody's sick and you pray for them, will they get better?
It's a very simple question.
The same question you ask, will physical therapy help if I go?
Will surgery help?
Will this particular cancer treatment help?
Will this help?
If I do this, if I do chelation, if I do whatever, will this help?
Makes sense.
It's the most logical question in the world.
And their response was, well, yes, of course.
Well, how do you know it works?
How do you know it works?
I know more people who go through, who pick apart chiropractic, which is a weird term because it's an adjective which is really a noun.
But anyway, I know people who will ask more of that than they do faith.
And this is not to pick apart faith because faith is up to you.
I don't really care one way or the other.
But it was interesting.
The mindset.
It's like, oh, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You mean to tell me how can we do an experiment to see whether prayer works?
Well, we can't.
So why do you believe it?
Because it's faith.
What does faith mean?
Faith?
You just have faith?
I said, okay.
So I believe in global warming and climate change.
Why?
I just do.
Now, they didn't.
That's crazy.
How do you know?
Why do you not believe it?
Why do you say it's not true?
You believe in prayer changing the course of cancer, and I believe in something that science, theoretically, has agreed to.
Why is that crazy, but yours isn't?
Why?
You see how we're so chauvinistic with what we believe?
We believe these things.
Well, that's just the way it is.
That's just the way it is.
So let me ask you something.
If somebody, so do you, so you're, this is obviously a Christian, which just happens to be the majority of people in this country, just by virtue of where we are.
So if you met somebody, let's say, who was Muslim, or somebody who was Jewish, would you argue with them?
No.
Why not?
The answer is, because, well, I don't really run into it that often, but, you know, they have their religion, and I'll kind of, okay, fine, fine, fine.
What if somebody is an atheist?
Well, that's a different story.
What about a Buddhist?
They're atheists.
They don't believe in a deistic theism, per se.
I don't know.
So why do you believe what you believe?
Why do you say that?
Why do you say these things?
How do you know what you know and how do you believe what you believe?
In Buffalo, you heard this, there is a thundersnow.
The biggest drop of snow in climate weather in I don't know how long.
I talked to a friend of mine and said, well, so much for that global warming.
Excuse me, it's not global warming, it's climate change.
Why?
We don't say global warming anymore.
Why don't you say?
Who are we?
Well, we don't.
You don't?
No.
Well, explain this to me.
Well, I can't really.
It's faith.
Wait a minute.
More faith.
More belief.
How do you know what you know?
And why do you believe what you believe?
Well, religion can get a pass.
Why?
You just do.
But shouldn't you apply strict observation?
Never.
Not to religion.
No way.
Science?
Even that.
But how much have you really done to explain climate change or global warming or why it doesn't make sense?
You really haven't.
You just don't like it because that's part of your conservative package, isn't it?
Because you know people like this.
There are these people who just believe this stuff.
Like people who use the word patriot.
You're a patriot.
I'm going to give you an award.
Who are you to decide what a patriot is?
Excuse me, who?
Wait a minute.
I don't understand what this word means.
What does it mean to be patriotic?
You mean to be Republican?
To be conservative?
Well, Trump's conservative.
You're going to give him an award?
No.
Why not?
Well, he's on the outs.
Why?
You see the joke we live in?
You see these words we use?
Love.
I love you.
I love this.
I love.
Along with amazing and insane and, you know, you know.
Everywhere you go.
Everywhere you go.
It's the most, it's the most, yesterday Nancy Pelosi stepped down.
People that I know of hate Nancy Pelosi.
Why?
You hate her?
What has she done?
Well, what has she done?
And they don't really know.
They don't really know.
They kind of hate...
It's the way we work in scrums.
Faith, belief.
People are loving the fact that, hey, Twitter's...
Apparently, they're firing on these people on Twitter.
Why?
Why?
I don't know.
Why are you happy about that?
Why are you happy?
It's just them.
But you use Twitter.
Yeah, what if it shuts down?
You think Elon Musk is helping Twitter?
What are you doing?
I don't know.
This is the level of understanding that we are at right now.
This is the level of understanding.
This is it.
FTX.
SBF.
This.
Is the biggest story of them all.
The biggest story.
I tried to watch my usual five minutes of Tucker.
Who does he have on?
Who does he have on?
I swear to God.
The most important issue there is.
Who do they have on?
The pizza reviewer.
Dave Portnoy.
This is where we are right now.
This is where we are.
We got this guy who's handing out.
Who's.
A patriot.
This one who wants to hang around cool guys who gets the chicks like Portnoy, I guess.
You got other people who hate Nancy Pelosi.
You have other people who believe in prayer.
I can't explain it.
You have other people who hate Donald Trump.
Who they...
And we have all of these...
Is there an adult in the house anywhere?
Is anybody around here?
I'm looking.
Is anybody around here I can talk to?
Nope.
Can anybody help me with this?
Nope.
Anybody?
Uh-uh.
Nobody?
Nobody.
Nobody can help me?
Nope.
We don't fit in.
The biggest story is FTX.
The biggest story.
Where does it go?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Do not expect anybody to spend any amount of time because you, with all due respect, have the attention span of a gnat and don't want to hear...
Anybody go into the, okay, let's start off with this.
The same way you don't want to hear about Ukraine, the same way you don't want to hear about really anything for the matter, because it involves a certain degree of, it takes some time to kind of go through this.
But nobody wants to do that.
They want to give me a TikTok version of this, and I'm off to the races.
And by the way, don't make me think, especially when it in any way calls into account my belief, whether it's faith, flag, patriotism, Patriot.
You're a patriot.
Here's an award.
Or my dislike.
I don't really understand what's going on here.
I have a rudimentary fifth grade education when it comes to politics and I'm supposed to hate Nancy Pelosi.
Well, why?
You know, because she tore...
I don't know what she...
I just...
I can't stand her.
I just can't stand her.
Look at her...
Well, that's it?
That's it.
Same way people look at Trump and they can't stand the way he looks because he's orange or something.
This is where we are right now.
I want you to remember something.
I'm going to tell you this.
And I want you to listen very, very carefully.
And listen like you've never listened before.
If you think Nancy Pelosi is antithetical to your belief system, Hakeem Jeffries is going to blow your mind.
And you don't even know what's coming.
You don't even know.
You don't.
So just wait.
Just wait.
Because this is a story that knows no...
There's no...
It is so fascinating.
But let's go through a few things before we begin.
First of all, remember to like this video, subscribe to the channel.
Let me also remind you, you know what's coming around the corner?
Christmas.
Christmas is just around the corner.
And if I got a gift for you, fine for dad or grad, and yes, mom, it makes julienne fries, and it's a great stocking stuffer.
Go to the Lionel Nation merchandise room.
Just go.
Go online.
Look.
Look here.
Go to YouTube.
Just look at the merch.
Mugs.
This thing.
You know how long I've had this?
This is the first thing I ever got.
This thing has traveled everywhere.
I've dropped it.
I use it as a bludgeoning tool.
You can...
You know, raised koi in here.
It holds about nine quarts of coffee.
It's fantastic.
Among other things.
It has everything you can imagine from scarves and hats to merkins to flak, anti-flak, you name it.
Ballistic armament.
Go to the merchandise.
It's wonderful.
And one more thing.
This kills me.
This absolutely kills me.
The other day, Yet again, the other day during Bali, during the G20, what do you think they were talking about?
What do you think they were talking about yet again?
It's the most amazing thing to me.
Truly it was amazing.
They were talking about grain and food and what is happening around the world and what Klaus Schwab, ESG Ratings, World Economic Forum, what is happening right now?
Before your very eyes.
I don't know how to tell you about this.
You can't be nicey-nicey about this.
There is going to be food shortages.
They're telling you about this if you pay attention.
But if you're watching stories about Nancy Pelosi and TikTok and whatever, you're not going to get this.
But they are telling you this.
And there is going to be food shortages.
And I'm telling you, when these shops and the stores close for whatever reason, whether because of supply chain, whether because it's, I don't know.
They just close.
Maybe because people are acting nuts and insurance companies are saying, we better close that down because we can't protect people anymore because they're out in the parking lot and they go nuts.
Remember, we're the people who go crazy years ago at a Best Buy and we're trying to buy a flat screen TV and we've got the money and we're going to kill each other over a TV.
We're the ones who go crazy over toilet paper for no particular reason.
Whenever there's a thundersnow, We have milk and bread.
I don't know why we do this.
So imagine, just imagine, there is a serious, serious grain shortages and the like.
By the way, you know there's still shortages as far as baby formula.
Remember that one?
See, just because you haven't heard something in a day doesn't mean it goes away.
So preparewithlinel.com is where you have to go.
My Patriot Supply is the best there is.
And preparewithlionel.com is how you support us and how you prepare for an emergency.
Three-month emergency food supply kit.
Over 2,000 calories a day with a 25-year shelf life.
25 years!
Right now, you need one of these per family member for three months.
That's it.
Preparewithlionel.com.
This is not a joke.
This is not some kind of a, well, maybe we'll...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This isn't a nice little flashlight.
Flashlights are nice.
And a rod and reel and a dehydrator with banana chips is not what we're talking about.
We're talking about the end of the ability to purchase food for long periods of time.
It's coming.
They're telling you this.
PrepareWithLionel.com PrepareWithLionel.com Now let's go to this right now.
I'm looking around here and I'm asking myself, I don't know if anybody really is getting what's happening.
Yet again, yet again, the biggest stories, the biggest stories, the biggest, the biggest is FTX.
And you can say, well, why is it such a big deal?
Well, here is a theory and hypothesis, I should say, that is being bandied about.
If I could just give this to you, number one.
First, why do you think A lot of governments do not like these types of things.
Why do you think governments do not like this?
Why?
Why don't governments like cryptocurrency?
Why do you think that is?
Well, maybe because you can't follow it.
And you can't shut it down.
And you can't control it.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe the whole notion of Bitcoin and this blockchain stuff is like, oh my god, we don't know where it is.
We can't shut it down.
We're going to go completely cashless, but our cashless, we can't shut down.
So, let's assume, just saying, some people are hypothesizing, let's assume, There's this almost a deliberate,
controlled demolition, so to speak, or a known implosion of the crypto market via FTX that will devastate, that will put the nail in the coffin to get these kids away from this weird Dogecoin and this coin and all that, and to make People suffer.
Big names.
Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen and others.
And let me tell you something.
Listen to me carefully.
I talk about this on my lionelmedia.com There are various sources of news.
There's the internet and You know, the stuff that you...
Twitter and TikTok and whatever it is.
That's that.
But then there's the other stuff, like in the back.
Remember the old days, sometimes you'd go to a store and they'd say, in the back.
Oh, yeah.
There used to be this story here.
I don't know if they still have it, but it was a...
It was a...
They sold like, you know...
I don't know.
Cosmetics and stuff.
But in the back, they had these adult things.
Adult devices and lingerie and all this stuff was in the back.
And they knew.
It was interesting.
It was nothing really compared to...
It's like now.
Do you ever notice sometimes on Route 3 you'll see all of a sudden...
There's one place too in Westchester.
I think in Yonkers, all of a sudden they say, Lingerie!
It's like, who pulls over?
Who pulls over?
Yeah, lingerie.
Who pulls over and says, yeah, I'm going to get some crotchless panties.
Let's stop in on our way home next to the Bed Bath& Beyond.
Look at a slice and some...
I don't know what this...
Anyway, but there are these stories and they're called blind, blind gossip, others.
And the story...
They're never sued.
They're always correct.
And the number of people who have lost everything in this FTX, You have no idea.
Did you see that guy said he made up his whole image?
He said, I just, ha ha ha, you bolsters, I made up my image.
Did you see?
Right.
SBF, or SF, no, SBF.
Sounds like that tanning commercial.
FTX.
No, no, FTX is Samuel Blaine Fine.
He's called SBF for FTX.
And how about that, that, Whatever that girlfriend is, oh my god, did you see this?
Did you see what she had to say?
And her father with MIT from the head of the...
Anyway, it's all nonsense.
They created this.
No due diligence, no nothing.
So here's my point.
All of a sudden, it all collapses.
So people are going to say, remember that FTX?
It's got to be big.
Remember a while back, oh, there was some talk about Bitcoin.
Warren Buffett said, I don't know about that.
It didn't scare anybody.
It went down a little bit.
But if you spook the world, isn't that funny?
Now am I saying that's what happened?
No.
It's a theory.
And it makes a lot of sense.
But you're not going to hear that because you want to hear about polycules and polyamory and you want to hear about how she had harems in China and how this she that's where the story is going.
This is so good.
This story is so good and so deep and Celebrities were paid, theoretically, and there it was yesterday.
There it was.
I thought, maybe we're going to get, maybe, maybe, you know, maybe your friend Tucker can do something to maybe explain this, because it's the only time you're paying attention.
The others aren't going to cover it.
Are you kidding me?
And so what does he do?
He calls Dave...
No!
Wait a minute!
Give them a pizza!
No!
Why are you doing this?
Because that's the way it is.
We don't want to really teach you.
We want to just tantalize you with something that appears to be.
Remember years ago when they sold this stuff?
People sold this stuff.
I've got a barrel of this.
I've got raisins and yogurt covered.
I can't sell it.
Wait a minute.
Call it trail mix.
Hey!
And they sold it like you couldn't believe.
What are you eating candy?
No, it's trail mix.
Oh.
Or light.
L-I-T-E.
Or natural.
Or whatever.
You just give it a name.
And that would be great if we could do this.
But no, no.
That's not it.
Because nobody wants to do this.
It's bells and whistles and screaming and yelling.
And I'm telling you.
The biggest story, let me give you an example, another one.
There was a story, a bit apocryphal, but I love it and I cannot swear to it.
I'm telling you right now.
But it goes something like this.
Right around the time of the Manhattan Project, when people were kind of getting interested in this notion of nuclear bombs and nuclear fission and all this kind of jazz, there was this guy named Enrico Fermi.
And Niels Bohr.
Niels Bohr, the father of quantum mechanics, this thick Danish accent, very, very boring, very hard to understand, and he's trying to explain to people what this is, and it's not going anywhere.
And it's like, whoa.
So, there is no version of bringing in Dave Portnoy, but as...
As they were looking at this, and people were kind of closing the cases of their typewriters, and they were saying, I don't know what the hell this guy is talking about.
Enrico Fermi comes in and goes, no, wait a minute!
Do you know what he just said?
Do you know what this means?
And then they said, basically, we're talking about unleashing, or basically harnessing, the cosmic glue that is responsible.
Anyway, they got it.
That's what we need.
I'm trying to be your Enrico Fermi.
I'm trying to say, no, wait a minute.
Spend your time.
Turn TV off.
Turn cable off.
Research this.
Keep going.
Do you research this?
Let me explain to you something.
In the old days, whenever you would research a legal issue, you would be...
I'm surprised at how many tangential issues there was.
One time, when I was in law school, we had a moot court issue.
Very interesting, I thought.
Of all things, it was real property.
It was implied solar easements by implication.
Guy has a...
This is a hypothetical.
Moot court.
Hence the term moot.
He has a solar collection panel, kind of like a...
And somebody built something next to him and it causes shade and now he can't power his home because kind of like what they're doing to the atmosphere.
But I digress.
So anyway, so he says, hey, tells a fellow next to him, you built this thing and now you're shutting down.
I can't, my, my, all my roof tiles, my solar panels don't work because of this shade that you've caused by virtue of this building.
You're obstructing my, my easement.
You're what?
I got an air and light easement.
You do?
No, you don't.
And there was this whole notion of the old days, ad selim.
The ad selim doctrine says you own your property, here's your property, you own everything below and everything above.
Anyway, to make a long story short, as we got into it, I'm reading and researching, going through the Digest and this, and then...
This other issue would open up, and this issue would open up.
And it was fun.
And I said, I never knew this.
It was great.
It's like the more you dug, the more you learned, and the more you saw, and the more you realized.
We don't do anything.
We don't dig.
We don't do this.
It's beyond us.
We have no sense.
We're not even autodidacts.
We're nothing.
We don't investigate this.
You will see a picture of the guy with the funky hair and the weird-looking elf girlfriend, and that's it.
That's as far as you're going to go.
You won't go any further.
You won't read elsewhere.
You won't take this.
You won't devote an hour.
Not at once, over the day.
You don't do this.
You don't do this.
I know people who talk to me all the time about global warming or climate change.
They've never even, they don't know the first thing about it.
They accept it like other friends of mine accept the idea that prayer can change the course of disease.
They just believe it.
They just...
And they hate Nancy Pelosi or they love Donald Trump.
They don't know why.
They just do.
This is the story.
Okay.
I'm wasting my time.
But that's okay.
Here's the other.
Huge.
Huge.
This is so big.
It's just...
Joe Biden says that they want to grant immunity To MBS, Mohammed bin Salman, who basically, we all know, whacked, beheaded, dismembered Khashoggi.
Khashoggi.
This is the biggest story of...
This is it.
This is so huge.
It's enormous.
They were slamming Donald Trump because, Donald Trump, well, you were buddies with MBS.
And Joe Biden, they handed him a script and he said, we're going to go after you.
And he embarrassed him until he needed energy and oil and gas.
And they, he wouldn't even answer the phone.
Now, 180.
Biggest story, watch what's going to happen.
Nothing.
I'd love to find out.
Hey, Fox News, would you compare this to Trump?
You're not talking about Trump?
Why?
You don't like him, but you're a news organization.
But he's a patriot.
Oh, he's not?
Who's a patriot?
Who?
DeSantis.
What?
See where we are right now?
This story is bigger than anything.
I mean, they are laughing like you can't believe.
And he doesn't even know.
This is a guy who came on and Trump would say, now listen, I'm not saying the guy's not...
It appears to anybody who even remotely, they have him on recordings of recordings in the Turkish, whatever it is, embassy or consulate.
They've got...
I mean, the noise and the...
Ain't not a word.
Nothing.
No comment.
No, nothing.
You see, what's happening right now is that I'm living in a world, along with you, Where nobody seems to understand.
It's like nobody understands the nuance.
I knew somebody years ago who was very interesting.
I'll never forget this.
Who was married to a guy.
A very nice guy.
But he was from another country.
And they never got jokes.
Like she one time said, Oh, about the Three Stooges.
Who?
I mean, they didn't understand anything.
I mean, they communicated.
But they didn't understand.
They didn't really understand.
They don't understand nuance and syntax and sarcasm, and they didn't get it because they didn't understand the language.
They didn't really understand it.
And that's not good.
It doesn't.
I mean, it's funny at first, it's quirky, but then later on, when you want to say, listen, I want to talk to you, I want to be able to understand something, and sometimes they would get into arguments because sometimes they would perceive something as a slight when it wasn't, when it wasn't.
Anyway.
That's where we are now.
And I don't know how to tell you this.
And I love you to death.
But I can tell by some of the comments.
I don't think anybody really understands what's going on here.
I'm not trying to be rude.
I don't think you understand what's going on here.
I really don't.
I see things.
I do not think you understand where we're going with this.
Hakeem Jeffries.
Who?
Let me give you an analogy.
I love them.
Any alcoholics here?
One of the real problems, as was explained to me, regarding alcoholism, real alcoholism, not heavy drinking, but serious, serious, Alcoholism.
One of the problems is that the disease is progressive.
Okay?
So that means if you stop drinking today, and you go for five years or whatever it is, and you pick up, you start again, you don't pick up where you left off.
You pick up where you would be had you continued drinking.
Now this is, as was explained to me, and I like the idea, I don't like it, but it's a fascinating issue of it being progressive.
A progressive, progressive disease.
What we're seeing right now is progressive.
You're not going to recognize this country five years from now.
Because everything that's going on did not change because Nancy Pelosi is stepping down.
It's not.
Nothing is all of the programs.
Look at what's happening in San Francisco.
Just look at what's going on here.
Alvin Bragg in New York, Soros prosecutors, doing the same thing.
Nothing is changing.
It's picking up speed.
What are the Republicans doing?
Nothing.
They're arguing about Kevin McCarthy.
You got Kevin McCarthy, you got Mitch McConnell, and somebody else.
Oh, this Rona, Ronna McDonald.
You know what I'm talking about, the GOP.
Wordless.
Wordless.
I don't know what to tell you.
The Democrats are so good.
They're so...
They are superb.
They're not kidding around here.
I don't know how to tell you this.
I don't know how to explain this to you.
I don't know how to get you to get your head out of the sand and pay attention to what's happening.
It is unbelievable.
I think I'm getting through.
I think.
Because what I'm seeing is a lot of talking about stuff.
Stuff that doesn't really matter.
Oh, it's great.
Nancy Pelosi.
They make fun of her.
That's okay.
Do you know what Nancy Pelosi did?
See, I'm sorry.
If you want me to come on here and just slam her, you got the wrong person.
She was great for the Democrats.
Remember when she tore up the State of the Union?
Remember that?
She went to Taiwan.
I mean, she didn't budge.
There was no kidding around.
Let me ask you something.
Whatever happened with Paul Pelosi?
Whatever happened with that story?
Anybody?
Anybody want to venture again?
Bye-bye.
Well, what about that?
No, it's done.
Sorry.
Well, what about that guy?
Whatever.
You're going to forget.
Don't worry.
Remember Juicy Smell It?
Remember him?
Whatever happened to him?
I don't know.
Everybody's still there.
Nobody's still there.
Remember Maxine Waters?
Maxine Waters is so connected with his FTX stuff.
Nothing.
Nothing.
The Republicans are saying, oh, this is my favorite.
Oh, we're going to get to the...
And we have proof that Joe...
We have proof that Joe Biden and Hunter were inextricably connected in this conspiratorial cabal.
Uh-huh.
See that guy back there?
That's Christopher Wray.
He ain't gonna do anything.
And behind him?
You know who that is?
Merrick Garland.
Agee?
He's not gonna do anything.
What are you gonna do?
Go ahead.
Get Jim Jordan.
You know, he doesn't wear a jacket.
That's his, you know, Jim Jordan doesn't wear a jacket because he's Jim Jordan.
Because he's cool.
Doesn't wear a jacket.
Okay.
Bring him out.
Who else?
Oh, Rand, well there's a Senate, Rand Paul, he's going to yell at Fauci, he'll bring him out again.
Nothing's going to happen.
Nothing.
Nothing.
They don't get anything done.
But you, I guess, from watching your favorite TV show, are going to believe that somehow because somebody slams, oh, have you noticed this?
Whenever You want to really make a point.
So Megan Markle slams.
By the way, that story is so good.
But I don't think I care about that.
But anyway, it's really good.
Megan Markle slams.
Cristiano Ronaldo slams.
Everybody slams.
And that has become an alternative to actual action.
This slamming.
Slammage.
True.
That's the thing.
And with Twitter gone, I don't know.
Do you notice how everything...
Here's one for you.
Just blink once for yes.
Have you noticed how Amazon...
How many, what, 10,000 people?
Wait a minute.
Amazon.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, Amazon?
Meta?
Twitter?
What's going on here?
They're getting rid of all these people.
What's happening?
FTX?
This was the tech.
This is incredible.
So let's bring in Bezos.
This is my favorite.
I'm going to be Jeff Bezos for a moment.
I'm going to be a little psychodrama here.
And Bezos would tell you, how much money do you think I make with Amazon?
Let's assume I get This.
By the way, we went to our Dollar Tree or Dollar...
Dollar Tree or...
It's $1.50 now.
$1.25.
Okay.
Come on.
What was it?
Dollar Tree we went to or Dollar...
Dollar Tree.
Love those stores.
Love them.
Anyway.
Oh!
Another one too that's coming back?
TJ Maxx.
Huge.
Great customer service.
Great!
I don't know what that's all about because it was pretty weak there for a while.
Anyway, I'm Jeff Bezos.
Here's this thing.
Okay.
I'm going to sell this.
This widget.
This thingamajig.
Okay.
So, so-and-so in Los Campos, New Mexico wants me to send this to her.
Okay.
So, I'm going to take this thing and I'm going to make...
I got to sell it for...
Can't sell it for too much.
What?
$25?
No!
$1.50.
Charge them $2.
I'll make 50 cents on it.
Not even make 50 cents.
I'm going to put this in a box.
I'm going to pay for the box.
Put the label.
I'm going to pay for the label.
And then they're going to get somebody to take it off of the counter or the shelf.
And I'm going to put it on this thing and the assembly line.
And I'm going to put it on a truck.
Drive it.
I'm not making any money on this.
I'm losing money.
I've been at a loss the whole time.
Amazon doesn't make money on this.
Never.
Now, I could make some money maybe if I own the trucking, which I kind of sort of do.
Eventually, Amazon's going to have nothing but robots, AI.
You're going to be seeing warehouses in the dark.
Freezing, sweltering with these machines going on.
But where's all this money from Amazon?
Where is it?
Where's the markup?
The markup that it takes a lot of work to deliver this thing so I can make 50 cents.
So that's what he's going to say.
So why is this happening?
Why all of a sudden are you being told you're getting used to this?
Meta.
Losing.
750 employees in Manhattan alone.
Was it 750?
750.
You never hear about Google.
You never hear about them.
Interesting.
Never them.
Others as well.
Then the other day, Christopher Wray from the FBI says, you know, this Instagram, we think maybe they might be a, maybe, don't know for sure, But maybe they might be stealing your information.
Thanks, Chris!
With a straight face.
Why do you think this is happening?
What's going on here?
What changed?
Why?
That takes some time.
And that takes somebody to keep going.
You think Larry Kudlow is going to tell you that?
No.
You think maybe Maria Bartiromo will spend, we're going to spend 45 minutes going through this.
No!
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
We can't.
We're going to give you a minute.
Maybe a minute and a half.
That's it.
And we'll just kind of do it.
And then I've got to get my time in and then your time in.
And if I take one guest, make the guest three, I just diluted that time.
I'm not here to teach you anything.
Let's move on.
Did you read all of the did you read all of the pronouns and sexual or gender sexual slash gender names in the San Francisco story?
Did you hear that?
What did they do on Fox?
They laughed at it.
True spirit?
Well, I wonder if you're going to get twice the money.
Very funny.
Jeff Malugian, whoever.
Anyway, that's it.
But what does that mean?
Why are they doing this?
Why are they doing this?
Where is this coming from?
Where is the person who along the way said, we need to come up with 70?
Where did these new names come from?
People I know said, I never heard of Two-Spirit my entire life.
But all of a sudden, third, in pronouns, where did this come from?
Where is this from?
Why is this here?
What is the purpose of this?
Anybody talk to you about that?
Of course not.
Why?
It takes time.
It takes time.
Maybe we can go to Dave Portnoy.
Maybe he's got an idea.
He knows his pizza, and therefore, mozzarella, pronouns.
It's a logical transition to me.
That's what we need.
This bevy of geniuses out there.
Just look.
Just go and look.
It's incredible.
Look at these coteries, these cabals, these cadres, these consortia, these convocations of Pates and geniuses that are philosophical who can sit back and...
You know who's got that, believe it or not?
Democrats do.
I heard Robert Reich do a disquisition on how Donald Trump was worse than Richard Nixon and Watergate.
It was interesting.
Do we do that?
When I say we, Whatever our side is?
No.
No.
Do we have anything?
No.
What do you think is going to happen now that the House is in charge or is being run by Republicans?
What do you think is going to happen?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Well, what about DeSantis?
What about DeSantis?
Who was the one who came out the loudest against TikTok?
Donald Trump.
Anybody going to bring that up?
Of course not.
Well, he's not cool anymore.
Oh, good news.
Javanka, that's a truncation of Jared and Ivanka.
Ivanka wants to say, you know what?
I'm out of this politics thing, all that public service.
I want to be an influencer.
I want to be, look at me.
I'm on the dock with my paddleboard.
I want to be Kim Kardashian.
That's what I want to be.
That's it.
Okay, fine.
We're over here.
Who's in charge?
Let me ask you something.
Who is your leader?
Who is your leader?
Look at this.
Someone writes, it's Marxism.
It's not Marxism.
Why don't you call it anarcho-syndicalism?
It's just as...
Where do people...
I don't even read a lot of times these comments because it's like, what?
But I've got to hit you up with this.
Marxism?
This is about a planned economy?
You think this is an economic?
You think this is Marxism?
China is not Marxist.
Who's Marxist?
Why?
I don't know.
It's what I call it.
It's socialism.
This isn't socialism.
It's the last thing from socialism.
This is a welfare state, maybe.
Well, whatever.
I just use these names.
I don't have a lot of time to talk.
What was that again?
I don't have a lot of time.
So what do you do?
So I confine my thoughts to a word or two, which means my worldview is constrained into a couple of ideas.
You just...
Say things.
Someone writes, it's freedom versus slavery.
You're on to something.
Do you know what human trafficking is?
Do you know what child sexual predation is?
Slavery.
Absolutely.
In its purest sense.
Absolutely.
You would think, and by the way, good luck with that one.
Good luck with that one.
So, what we're doing and what I'm trying to do is to get you to break away from everything and unless you just want to hear somebody like just...
You know what I used to love to do?
I loved it.
Maybe you did too.
Remember going to an album shop?
Remember to a...
They'd have an album shop and a head shop and it was a combination that was like a...
It smelled of incense and it was black lights and you had those...
Remember the...
The posters and the metal frames and Pie Crapazappa and Peace and all that.
And you just went through the albums.
I loved to just go through the albums.
Not even listen to them.
Just look at the artworks.
Look at that.
Wow!
Ambrosia, somewhere I've never traveled.
Remember that one?
Remember Jesus Christ Superstar?
Anyway, that's how I'm going on.
Whatever.
Remember this?
That's what you want to do.
I just want to watch...
I just want to look at the album covers.
I don't want to listen to this.
I just want to kind of look.
I just want to get a feel for it.
Just give me the...
Instead of saying groovy or hip or boss, now we say Marxism.
Patriot.
You're a patriot.
You're patriotic.
And I'm going to give you an award.
Who are you?
According to the market of patriotism.
I'm going to go back to that again.
Democrats are not patriotic?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I know some people, and I'm sure you have too.
When I worked with a U.S. senator right out of college, he was in the Veterans Affairs Committee, Dick Stone, and I would go to veterans places, and there's a lot of Democrats.
In fact, our senator was Democrat.
And there were a lot of folks out there, missing limbs, and really, I mean, they left their body, parts of their body, on the battlefield all over the world.
They're fighting for their country.
They were most noble, most heroic.
They were Democrats.
They believed in, some of them.
Some of them were anti-war, whatever.
I love when people, you know, cornered the market.
You have got to listen, think for yourself, and do yourself a favor and recognize this fact.
You're on your own.
There is no team here.
There is no team.
There is no, hey, can I join?
Nothing to join.
We are illusory.
We talk to each other.
I don't even know who we are.
And Nancy Pelosi, She's a Democrat, but the people who are behind her, they are so well organized, it's not even funny.
They are so smart.
You, well, it's a different story.
It's kind of a different story.
Sorry to say that, but it's true.
It's a different story.
It's a different story.
Now, let me stop for one second.
You want to talk about patriotic?
I am telling you right now, I like when somebody says, everything says, you know, let's face it, made in China, made in China.
Remember the old days it was made in Japan?
Remember when made in Japan?
We bought some little, not curios, or whatever you want to call it, some salt and pepper shakers, and they said, made in Japan.
That was like really rare.
Now it's China.
Which is, let's face it, it's cheaper and they're going to know what they're doing.
So all of a sudden, somebody comes along and they say, I'm going to do something different.
And that's where Mike Lindell comes in.
And I want you to go to MyPillow.com and use a promo code Lionel and don't use anybody else's code.

And every time I think of what they did to Mike Lindell, I'm sorry.
You might say to yourself, what does that have to do with it?
It has a lot to do with it.
Because I want to support people.
You talk about patriotic.
This guy, I mean, he basically had the unmitigated audacity to say he believes in something, and then all these other people came along and just said, nope, sorry.
Bed, bath, and beyond.
Okay?
That was it.
That's all I needed to hear.
I just, certain things just...
Like Dr. Oz.

So my friends, guess what's going to happen?
You're going to be asked right now as we speak what you're going to do and whom you're going to vote for.
So who's it going to be?
Is it DeSantis?
Do you think the Democrats are ready to go?
They still got the Senate.
Carrie Lake is losing her mind.
She still can't believe what happened.
Blake Masters, can't believe.
I told you about...
Who, Blake?
Oh, Carrie Lake of Mar-a-Lago.
That's good.
You know.
Mar-a-Lago.
You know.
This is the season, by the way.
You know that, right?
Mar-a-Lago.
Now that it's cold, that's when it goes crazy.
During the summer, they close down, because in Florida, you die.
So all of a sudden, Trump's making a lot of money with his, because they make their money in things like weddings and, you know, banquets.
So he's there, and he's in the news.
That might be one of the reasons why he announced so early.
Why did he announce so early?
Why now?
Well, it's good for business.
He's not an idiot.
He knows what he's doing.
And Carrie Lake was nice.
Except she kept attacking people.
Well, interesting.
Oh, maybe Carrie Lake is a vice president?
I don't think that's good.
I don't think that's good.
I heard it was Scott, maybe?
Yeah, yeah.
A woman's a good choice, but you've got to make sure it's somebody who is going to know Their role as Vice President.
I don't want to say know their place.
That sounds bad.
But know their role as Vice President.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
It remains to be seen.
Now, do me a favor.
Here's something very important.
Very, very, very, very critical.
I want you to go.
In fact, I'm going to give you this right now.
This is the most important.
This is Mrs. L's brand new.
This is called Light a Virtual Candle.
Ending child sexual exploitation and violence.
This is important.
I'm going to give you this right now.
Do it right now.
You would think, would you not, that helping kids would be, the people would come out of the woodwork.
Right?
Wouldn't you think they would say, this is the greatest thing in the world, right?
Come out of the woodwork.
Wrong.
Wrong.
I mean, don't you think people would say, well, this is, of course, kids, yes.
Nope.
I do not understand it as long as I live.
I will never understand it.
I don't understand what our priorities are.
I don't understand why people don't seem to care about this.
I don't know.
But you can do something by right now.
Just put it up.
Just click on that and watch this.
Follow her at LinzWarriors.
And also on Twitter.
While Twitter is still here, at LinzWarriors.
Now, let me tell you something right now.
I don't mean to get chipset.
I don't mean to spend a little more time with you than usual.
But I want you to do yourself a favor.
Think for yourself.
Research.
Don't let these people dictate your agenda.
Don't let them tell you this is what's important.
No, you determine what's important.
And FTX and SBF and Ellison or whatever, that's the story right now.
And follow by, for the sake of it, look what's happening regarding MBS and our friend, Mr. Biden.
