Ladies and gentlemen, here I am.
Can you see me now?
Can you see me?
Now.
No, now they can.
But before it said go live.
You see in the top right it says...
I don't understand this.
This was weird, but...
Look at this.
He probably was live for 20 minutes and hasn't realized he's not live yet.
That's exactly what I thought.
Because it said...
Let me stop right now.
Honey, let me start from the beginning.
Good.
Let me start from the beginning.
Number one, forgive me for this bit of confusion.
Let me say that if you expected yesterday's drop to be the Elon Musk drop, to be critical, substantial, informative, important, what have you, Are wasting your time.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Let me begin by saying that.
I don't mean to do this.
I don't mean to throw you off.
And I know you wanted this to be the biggest thing that has ever occurred.
And I'm sorry to tell you, but it doesn't mean anything.
Who right here, who, listening to me now, believes that yesterday's tranche, yesterday's Matt Taibbi tweets, Not the documents, but the Matt Taibbi tweets.
Tell me who thinks this means something of note.
Who?
Tell me.
Who believes that this is a game changer?
Who believes that this is something other than the 1986 Geraldo Capone vault disaster?
Who can tell me that this is the shape-shifter?
Who?
Who can tell me this?
This is one of the greatest publicity moves in the history of self-promotion.
It is a work.
It is a work.
And you can watch all...
I tried to watch the first part of, I guess, Tucker.
James Woods is saying, this is...
Okay, take it easy.
Take it easy.
Do you understand this?
Do you follow this?
Where is this happening?
We knew, you knew, everybody knew, theoretically, about the Hillary emails.
What happened to Hillary?
What happened to that?
How about the allegations and alleged proof of bleach bit and this server gate?
Anything happen with that?
No.
How about the Wiener laptop?
No.
Epstein?
No.
What?
Now, I understand this, and there are people that I meet who say, but I want to, I want to be, have hope.
I want to think this is the end.
You want to think this?
Yes, I want to hear good news.
I want you to make me happy.
Don't tell me that it doesn't mean anything.
Give me, I...
I only want to follow those people who tell me that which I want to hear.
You're kidding me.
Seriously.
What do you think is going to happen?
When Miranda Devine, who wrote the book about the laptop, starts off with, well, wasn't exactly a game changer, but hey, what are you going to do?
What is the matter with you?
Do you just want to hear things that make you happy?
What do you expect to happen?
What?
Now, I'm telling you, and I'm sorry you've got to hear this, and you can go elsewhere, but this is the biggest.
There is a group of people who represent The cognoscente of the right or the conservatives or whatever you want to call them, who live in this world, this fantasy of the boom,
the end, the lightning bolts and that Trump is going to drop down on the golden eagle and this Promethean, you know, what are you talking about?
The end of the red...
The tide and the waves and the tsunami.
You live in this...
It's like, what are you doing?
Be instrument rated.
Look at where we're going.
We're going the wrong way.
Yes, but I'm looking out over the cockpit and the sky is blue.
We're going the wrong way.
I know, but it's so gorgeous.
And we're up in the clouds and we're victorious.
And we're going to...
This is the biggest, most...
I heard Tucker and maybe Adam Carolla or Jason Whitless or whoever these people are.
Don't tell me this.
I read these.
They showed me this.
They said this is the end.
And pictures of Hunter shaking in his boots and this befuddled Biden.
What have you not known about this?
What?
What is it?
What is it?
What do you not know?
We're going to get to that in a moment.
I'm going to explain some things to you.
This is such...
I can't believe it.
And Matt Taibbi tweets, excuse me, what?
Elon Musk is a genius!
Elon Musk is a...
Genius!
He is...
More people are talking about Twitter.
You know who we're not talking about?
SBF, FTX, Putin, Xi Jinping, the border...
Nothing!
Nothing!
Carrie Lake?
Just nothing.
It's because you're able to talk about one thing.
At a time.
One little story.
One little thing.
That's it.
Ooh, 5 p.m.
This is going to be big.
Elon Musk is a genius.
He is the Tom Parker, the Cowboy Luttrell, the Vince McMahon, the P.T. Barnum of our time.
We'll get to that in a moment.
A couple of things.
First, can you imagine if we write this moment, write this moment, Could meet this evening at a centrally located place, and I'm saying, everybody show up.
Here's the code word, get in.
I take the stage, play a little guitar, a little picking, and then I do my thing, I bring up to speed, and we kind of do what we're doing now, except I hand the microphone to you.
Or read a note that you've very...
Very brilliantly crafted on a sheet or a card.
That's what I'm doing January 14th at the cutting room.
That's exactly what we're doing.
and nobody is doing this.
Every...
It's...
Nobody's doing this.
Nobody.
You know why they don't do studio audiences?
Because nobody can control them.
Because most of these juduls can't do it.
They have to have this prompter.
I've got to say this.
And I've got to say this.
And I've got to say it like this.
And I can't veer.
And I can't...
Even sometimes when the prompter...
I'm not going to mention names, but sometimes the prompter stops and...
January 14th, I want to see you there.
Here it is right now.
Hang on a minute.
Let me get myself...
This is it right here.
This is the link.
And I cannot say this enough.
January 14th.
Let's do it.
Where is this thing?
What is the matter with me?
Let me try it one more time.
Hang on.
Hang on.
That's so much.
What a day.
There we go.
Like this.
And then back over here.
Stand by.
Stand by.
Okay.
Hang on.
There we go.
Right there.
That's it.
That's the link right there.
Cutting room, January 14th, New York City.
Be there.
New York's ready to go, ready for Freddie, and we're ready to see you.
That's number one.
Number two, I've got to tell you this story.
This morning I'm reading.
What am I reading?
I'm just reading my news.
I'm going through some stuff.
And what do I see here?
This is from the Telegraph, the British Telegraph.
The Dutch government plans to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to comply with EU nature preservation rules.
This is ESG, Klaus Schwab, and WEF on steroids.
I don't know how to say it to you anymore.
I don't know how to be any clearer.
But food emergencies are going to hit us because they are hitting the entire world.
And you cannot be caught flat-footed.
You cannot be caught in the position where you think, where did that come from?
I never saw that coming.
You did see it coming.
We've been telling you about this.
The recommended minimum for long-term emergencies is three months' worth of food that you are able to get to immediately.
Three months per person.
Three months.
Look at what's happening in China.
Look at what's happening around the world.
Are you able to do this?
If you cannot immediately say, yes, I've got it, then you're in serious risk.
I don't want to be the doomsayer.
I'm not going to be a Cassandra.
But preparewithlinel.com is your answer.
And for the first time since 2019, you can save $250 on each three-month supply kit.
Period.
Easily stacked.
Very modular.
And I...
When you tell people this, the first thing they do is they...
It makes them a little nervous.
And rather than saying, thank you, I'm going to get on this right away, they say, well, you know, I've got a...
I've heard this.
I've got a fishing pole.
I like to fish.
I've got some...
I've got a dehydrator.
I've got some MREs.
For three months?
Per person?
Well...
Three months?
When your kids say, what is this?
Where's the food?
I'm sorry.
Kroger's is closed.
Acme's closed.
Costco's closed.
This is closed.
It's closed.
I don't know why.
The same reason why there's toilet paper shortages.
The same reason why there's hand sanitizer.
Who knows?
The same reason gas.
Nobody knows anything.
You don't want to be in that position.
So preparewithlionel.com.
Prepare with Lionel.
Go there now.
Now listen.
I know that nobody wants to hear this because I've got so many...
You know, I don't understand how you find fine people spend so much time listening to this.
Oh, this is the end for Hunter Biden.
This is the end.
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
How this would make a difference, if it is possible.
Number one, if James Woods or anybody, anybody, could somehow be aligned with some monstrously huge, politically connected, white shoe law firm,
Latham or Sullivan and Carl Cromwell or Gibson, somebody so connected, maybe Schiller Boyes, maybe David Boyes, who knows, to say we're going to finally Bring a cause of action.
Because right now, nobody will touch this.
But the first thing that a judge will say, if you bring any kind of lawsuit or any kind of attempt, any kind of criminal activity, if you say that the government violated, in fact, let's back up a little bit, what would you claim?
You violated my rights.
I think I've said this.
I'm not sure.
But our good friend Tucker said, it was this thing, this is the DNC, and the DNC, and it's right there in the trove.
Well, maybe not the trove, but it's what, you know, Matt Taibbi said.
Matt Taibbi?
Is Matt Taibbi?
Well, take his word for it.
All right, fine.
Matt Taibbi is the word.
Okay.
What about Matt Taibbi?
Well, Matt Taibbi said that the DNC...
Actually, there's a memo or something, an email.
Excuse me, is the DNC the government?
What?
Is the DNC the government?
Well, that's the Democrats.
That's not the government.
Well, it's Biden.
He wasn't the president.
Where is this thing?
Remember this, state action.
Entanglement.
Where is the state?
Where is the government involved in this?
Well, we've got these memos, we've got these emails.
Okay, what do the emails say?
Well, in this one, we've got...
Here's one for you.
Maybe.
Maybe you can show...
Did you have any emails?
Excuse me.
Does Matt Taibbi have any emails that show the government?
The federal government involved?
Well, we had some former DNI, Director of National Intelligence.
Other people said that there was Russian collusion, Russian disinformation, Russian hacking.
Do you have anybody currently in office now?
Did the United States government...
The FBI, the DOJ, the NSA, whoever.
Did anybody involve in this?
Did anybody deprive James Woods or you or me or anybody of our rights?
Is this anything?
Anybody?
Can you show me where this is?
If you can, you're on your way.
Do you remember Carter Page?
Do you remember him?
Carter?
Remember Carter Page?
This is the one that got me.
Carter Page.
He was an American petroleum industry consultant, former foreign policy advisor.
He was, I think, if I recall correctly, he was a subject of either a Title I surveillance.
Surveillance.
The...
The most draconian.
Based upon, it was alleged, information that was manufactured and whatever, Carter Page could have owned the government if they could prove anything that they said about him.
This guy, there has never been anybody, based upon the allegations, that was ever more the victim of Surveillance, then Carter Page.
Anybody.
Did you ever hear about him?
Nope.
What happened?
I don't know.
How does this work?
How does this work?
Let me tell you this one.
When you told me that you've got FISA courts, federal courts, and people lied in affidavits to get FISA warrants, And was there ever an order to show cause?
Meaning, was anybody ever held in contempt?
Anybody?
Anybody?
You went to a federal judge, basically this rubber stamp agency, and you brought in fake dossiers of steel and...
Perkins Coie and GPS, oh God, all these, remember the names of these, all of these entities, nothing around it?
Nothing.
Do you remember when Hillary Clinton's with the emails?
Nothing.
Do you remember the servers and the bleach bin?
Nothing.
Do you remember the Jeffrey Epstein?
Nothing.
It just goes into this, I don't know where it goes, It's like there's this soundproof room.
You yell, and it just absorbs the noise.
It just disappears.
And you, every time something happens, and when Colonel Tom Parker, Elon Musk, says, oh, we've got a big drop.
This is going to be it.
This is going to be it.
You hang on to every word.
This is the end of it.
You knew what Hunter Biden's laptop was.
I don't understand this.
So I'm the judge.
I'm going to say, can anybody show me any state action here?
Does anybody know?
And by the way, who are you?
What is your name?
My name is blah blah blah with Twitter.
I'm 35 years old.
I wear a man bun.
I have no idea what's going on.
And I got this message and this note and all these people that showed me, and I can show you, that this thing that we've got violates our anti-hacking program and that there were people who told me that the New York Post article was based on hacking and we're not going to do that.
And that's disinformation and that's the way that goes.
I may be wrong, this may be a stupid policy, but I didn't do this just to subvert Donald Trump's chance at the president.
I'm following.
Now you can say, oh, I don't believe that, and you're entitled to that.
Prove it.
Where are we going with this?
I don't know.
Meanwhile, SBF With FTX and FTT, he's watching TV and he says, I am not believing what I'm seeing now.
I went in front of the world at a New York Times deal book or something, something at the Jazz at Lincoln Center, and I appear on a Skype, whatever it is, and I basically tell them, Oh well, my bad.
I lost 35 whatever billion dollars, commingled funds, had an FTT token system that was theoretically worthless, and I said it!
He didn't even hammer home.
Most people would say, I'm not going to say anything on advice of counsel.
Not him!
He did this.
And he did it!
And now we're not even talking about it.
Let me say this again.
That could be the biggest story of a lifetime.
But that's not good enough.
Well, because it's too wonkish.
You know, I don't know.
We don't have enough time.
We have the attention span of a gnat.
We're not very good at critical thinking, so I don't know what to tell you.
But, sorry.
And that's it.
He's going to walk.
Like, it never happens.
But because we can only talk about one, you know, issue at a time, Tucker's not going to talk about it.
Matt Taibbi's not going to go through.
Miranda Devine.
Nobody's going to go through this because it's just, eh.
See, you've got to have a, I have a very simple rule.
Can you put this on a bumper sticker?
Can you?
Bill Clinton.
Blue dress.
That's it!
Devil in the blue dress.
Remember that?
It was a simple understood.
Got it.
Got to be very simple.
Very simple.
Hillary Clinton.
Bleach bit.
What?
He had a server.
A server?
What are you talking about?
No.
Wiener's laptop?
Oh, there was a lot of potential.
That thing just went nowhere.
And the Republicans?
So what's old Jim Jordan talking about today?
What's old John Kennedy saying?
What's he saying?
What's Marsha Blackburn saying?
What's Josh Hawley?
Want to talk about Kanye West again?
Let's talk about Kanye.
Maybe talk about wills.
It's too much information.
Too many plates in the air.
This thing's going nowhere.
It's going nowhere.
Because we've already known this.
Number two, I know what's going to happen.
Now, I'm not saying nothing should be pursued.
On the contrary.
But let me ask you a question.
How have you not just given up yet?
How have you not given up?
I haven't given up, but you know what it's like sometimes?
This is a terrible example, but I'm going to give it to you.
You have this relative.
And this relative is here and is terminally ill.
And it does not look good.
And you've tried everything.
I mean, you have just...
Medication and chemo and radiation and this and surgery and palliative care and hospice and nothing.
And the only thing you can do now is you can say, well, you know, I do have a friend who does crystals.
Bring them in!
I got nothing to lose.
Come on!
Herbal tea?
Come on!
I'll take it.
Magnets?
Come on!
We'll do it.
I got nothing to lose here.
We have tried everything and...
I'm not giving it any hope, but you know, you never know.
Maybe.
That's where I am.
That's where I am.
I don't believe in...
I mean, I don't see...
And to be fair now, to be fair, there are people on the...
I don't want to say left and right, but I'll do it, who say...
How come Trump's still walking around?
How come nothing really happened with January 6th?
How come nothing...
How come Trump keeps...
And they say the same thing.
You do know that, right?
You might say to yourself, what are you talking about?
They're saying, well, how come he's...
Why isn't he arrested yet?
And, you know, they hired this new Jack Smith, just like you had your John Durham.
Remember John Durham?
Ooh, here comes Durham.
And, of course, you had your tweets.
Here he comes!
You know the golden eagle, and here he comes.
You love imagery.
Oh, you love, and war, and 1776, and the Gadsden flag, and the tree of liberty, the blood of the...
You love that stuff.
You love it.
Right?
Other side has the same thing.
They'll say, I know how you feel.
This guy's...
What do we have?
Great.
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I guess.
MTG's in there.
Boebert's in there.
The Republicans won the House.
What are you complaining about?
What are you complaining about?
You won.
No, you won.
See how this thing works?
You've got to step back from this.
Because you were so in, so close.
You're listening to these judrools who sit back and the first question I had, excuse me, Matt Taibbi, what is this?
What happened?
Well, you see, let's go right now to 1972.
The Watergate break-in.
Here's Woodward and Bernstein.
What do you have?
Well, I wrote this article.
No, excuse me.
What do you have?
Well, like I said, I wrote an article.
No, no.
Do you have any evidence?
Evidence?
Not really.
They wouldn't say, excuse me.
But today we're going, Matt Taibbi?
Say no more!
What's the matter with you?
There it is right there!
Okay.
This is a...
Listen, I don't mean to insult you.
I really don't.
I know you mean well.
And I may not even mean you.
I might be referring to somebody else down the road.
But this morning sometimes I feel overwhelmed with a world where they see so many fires.
Imagine me working for like a forestry fire department.
And I'm out there and I see You see that one out there?
That's what I got in my...
And you're putting out this little thing here.
This doesn't mean anything.
That's the one over there.
Look.
Can you see it?
Look at it.
Oh my God, you're right.
That one's coming.
And this one.
And the one behind us.
They're not going anywhere.
You're looking at something that doesn't matter.
Yeah, but...
But you know what?
That fire is heading towards this store that I like.
What?
Yeah, I have this unique interest in this particular fire because this...
But the whole area...
What do you...
I don't know what the analogy is.
I'm thinking to myself, what is it that you need to know?
And then, just those other stuff.
You've got to ask yourself, how smart is Elon Musk?
If this isn't wrestling, nothing is.
This is a work.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
Now I'm going to bring up two cases for you, and I know you're not going to care about this because it's not your thing, but you're missing it.
Number one, the Amy Robach story.
Amy Robach and that other guy from Good Morning America is so good.
It is so good.
Because somebody told me, well, excuse me, something tells me.
Now this one already had that divorce, already taken care of, and then says, let's do this.
Just saying.
Hypothetically.
I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm going to, let's be found out.
Why?
Because I've been on the chopping block.
Remember, she was the one who said, I did that Epstein story, no, no, a Weinstein story, nobody, okay.
So let's do this stuff.
We'll be caught.
Did you see the pictures of this bar?
It's like, these are portraits.
And then, well, it turns out this guy is alleged to have had other affairs, and Robert Roberts is upset.
And it's just collapsing.
Because of the desperate attempts of somebody to try to add some heat, use a wrestling term, that's number one.
The other story, which you're missing, is Kate and Wills and Meghan and Harry.
You want low-hanging fruit?
You want intrigue?
You want soap opera?
That's the one.
That story is so good.
So that's over here.
Next, Putin and Russia.
Every day, Putin is going through.
He's now falling down stairs, soiling himself.
They have run up.
That's over there like that.
Xi Jinping.
Oh, God.
China.
I don't know about that.
What about China?
You want to talk about that?
Not really.
Okay, fine.
Can I bring some other things?
Yeah.
Whatever happened to the leaking of the Dobbs memo?
The Alito memo for the Dobbs case?
Anybody know that?
Oh, I forgot.
Remember that?
Is anybody at the Supreme Court saying, who leaked that?
Because the longer it goes, the more I think it's Alito.
I mean, if I'm just being a detective, I'm saying, why are you...
Next, remember those people who violated, who doxed the Supreme Court justices and showed up?
Anything happen with that one?
Nope.
Really?
Nope.
Nothing?
Nothing at all.
Isn't that interesting?
No.
Remember when Pelosi went to Taiwan?
Anything with that?
No.
Nothing?
Nothing.
Wow.
Okay.
See where we are?
Too much stuff.
What about the border?
Oh, don't talk about the border.
Oh, I can't take it.
That's exactly...
Oh, please, I can't take the border.
Oh, dear God, don't talk about the border.
I can't take the border.
I can't take the border.
Oh, please, please, please.
No more borders.
Oh, no, no, no, I can't take...
That's exactly what people say.
That is exactly what people say.
They can't handle the border.
Dear God, no more border.
Can't do it.
It's true.
That's exactly what's happening.
Do you see what's happening right now?
So today, I'm watching this, and I'm listening to this, and regarding this big Elon Musk stuff, and saying, this is nothing.
And it's on the weekend.
And it still matters.
So let me ask you something.
What is going to happen?
What is going to happen?
What do you think?
Honey, what do you think is going to happen?
Everything is going to shut down.
Everything is going to shut down.
Now, one of the best ones ever is the person, James Woods.
How do you think he's handled this so far?
What has he done?
Just curious.
Fill me in.
What has James Woods done?
Anybody?
Fill me in.
Answer this question for me.
People love him.
Did you hear him on, I think I was listening, on YouTube, he was on with Tucker.
I mean, his voice is trembling.
I understand that.
What do you think is going to happen?
And what is the significance?
You've got to explain this.
If somebody says, would you do me a favor with James Woods?
He's an actor, right?
What did he do?
How come he does stuff?
John Voight gets away with murder, but he doesn't.
Why does this matter?
What's going to happen?
And there's nothing more.
Oh, he's a patriot.
Why is he a patriot?
Why is he a patriot?
I mean, I'm not saying he's not.
What does that word mean?
What does that word mean?
You see how we just, everything is like, this is the end of it.
Okay, what has he done?
What does this mean?
What?
There are people who are fought, they know they're on Twitter, they're knocked off of Twitter, they can't speak.
What is it?
Nobody can answer the question.
This is what will happen.
What should happen, but he...
James Woods, he's great on Twitter, but he loses it.
Someone says he speaks the truth in spite of the consequences.
Consequences?
He is persona non grata in Hollywood.
He has nothing.
He has got to somehow parlay this into some new...
I don't know why he doesn't do a show.
Why is it, this is so weird, this is very strange, why wouldn't somebody like some Fox, you mean to tell me there's Fox News, a documentary or something with him?
You've got to explain this very carefully.
And what I like to do, what I like to do as a lawyer is to explain it in a way where you'll say, wow.
Wow.
I didn't think, that's exactly right.
Yeah!
How do you do that?
What did he do?
Remember, you've got 30 seconds, maybe, to explain to somebody.
How do you do it?
I don't know.
And the way you can maybe tell people something is you back into it.
And what I'm telling you is state action.
State action, state action, state action.
You're always looking for state action.
That's the first...
That's the first way to get a case dismissed.
There's no state action.
Private companies can do whatever they want.
You know, I went to Golden Corral, and I was in the buffet, and they threw me out because they didn't like my clothing, and they said, sorry, that's a private entity.
Well, I have a freedom of expression.
No, no, I'm sorry, that's a private entity.
But if you found out that the governor of...
New Mexico called up Golden Corral and said, don't let him in.
Now we're talking.
That's interesting.
That's state action.
That's a little different.
If James Woods can somehow explain to people that what we're talking about is when you have somebody who is acting as a proxy for the government.
And I would start off with things like this.
I'd say, folks, do you have How many of you enjoy a nice Facebook?
Oh, we enjoy Facebook quite a bit.
Grandmas?
Do you have a grandma or an aunt?
She loves her Facebook.
Oh, I've got my tapioca recipe.
I love this.
I've got my grandchildren.
So you know that's important to you.
Yes, it is.
Yes.
And what about you?
Well, I go to Facebook, because I love Facebook.
They may not be into Twitter or TikTok, but I love Facebook, because, well, Facebook allows me to.
It is, yes.
I can get my scores, and get my news, and I can take pictures of my clothes, and here's my grandson, here's my dog.
Yep, yep.
Oh, and I made a brisket.
I love that.
Did you see that?
Yes.
So that's pretty important, yeah?
In fact, I'll bet you you've probably seen somebody maybe on Facebook that you haven't seen in a long time.
Maybe, maybe you found out that somebody died.
I didn't know that.
It's like your own newspaper slash...
It's this platform where you're the star and in your world you invite people to be your friends and they're your friends and you can...
It's wonderful.
And if you have a business, you can promote yourself, yes.
What if somebody were to end that?
NEM?
Yeah, listen.
What if somebody were to shut your page down because they didn't like something you said?
What do you mean?
Well, let's assume there's some crazy mayor who doesn't like you.
Doesn't like you because maybe he went to school with you a long time ago or he hates tapioca and you're a proponent of tapioca recipes and he just did.
And he picked up the phone, let's say, and called Zuckerberg and said, you get Annie M. off that Facebook.
What would you think about that?
Imagine that.
You're done.
You go in one day to log in and you can't get on.
You're not in Facebook jail.
You're gone.
You don't exist anymore.
And all your friends, they don't even know you're not gone.
It's because there's no bon voyage.
Ah!
You hear that?
You set them up with this.
You go, oh my God!
That's terrible!
I know people say, and you, let's say on Instagram, you couldn't do your dances.
Have you seen that before?
Have you seen now they have this dance sequence where some nurse is in the emergency room and she does this dance, everybody's doing a dance.
What if you couldn't do your dance sequencing?
Oh my God!
Imagine that!
Me?
You?
And you couldn't sit in front of a mirror with your phone?
I saw one the other day that was so good.
I didn't even...
Oh, I wish I could share it with you.
It's a person I know, sort of, who is sitting in the mirror and says, you know, what kind of a man do I like?
Well...
I guess I kind of want an old-fashioned.
Now, meanwhile, she's like scantily clad and she's talking into this machine and thinking, what is going on?
What is this, OnlyFans?
I don't know what this is.
All right, fine.
Once you say yes.
And you know, Annie, Facebook and these things are so big that, you know, in a weird way, they're almost kind of like the phone company, aren't they?
You know, you're right about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're kind of like the phone company.
They're almost like a utility.
And imagine being on the phone and you're saying, well, you know what?
I love tapioca.
And all of a sudden your phone goes down and Verizon or T-Mobile or something cuts you off because they don't like tapioca.
In the middle of you, and you're like, what?
They cut your phone?
They can't do that.
That's kind of what these things are.
It's almost like they're utilities, aren't they?
Now, We've just kind of said, yeah, I never thought about that.
And if a government were to pick some phone up and say, listen, you go ahead and you knock them off.
Okay, we'll do it.
And we have a policy.
We have a policy.
We're going to say that you provided misinformation.
Or that this could be some kind of...
Nobody challenges us because we're the biggest...
We are Godzilla.
Now you start setting the tone saying, this is really something.
And imagine that.
So you create this thing called social media.
You get everybody addicted to it.
You get everybody using it as a means of communication.
Almost like a form of oxygen for communication.
And then, when you don't like what they say, you shut them down.
And guess what?
They have no other place to go.
What do you think about that?
Now, if that can be shown, specifically, Through state action or something?
And if the DNC says, now we didn't shut anybody down.
Excuse me.
We're the DNC.
We're powerful, but we don't have that ability.
Now we can pass on information that we have as a concerned citizen, but we...
You think this is going to get to a jury?
You think they're going to say, we know better than that?
You've got to think.
How do you prove it?
And one day, It's bound to happen.
And what do you think is the Trump card?
No pun intended.
What do you think is the Trump card that the Republicans in the House may have?
What do you think it is?
Let me ask you a question.
What would you do if you were Jim Jordan, that big phony?
What do you think of him?
What do you think he would have?
What does he have?
What do the Republicans or anybody have that would really get Their attention.
Anybody from Elon Musk to Zuckerberg to whoever.
What do you think it is?
What would they have?
What do you think?
What's the one thing where they say, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Now we're talking.
Now you've hit a nerve.
What do you think that'll be?
I'll wait for a second.
I'll wait for a second.
What do you think that would be?
What do you think?
The one scary thing.
The one threat.
Dick Long says it best.
Section 230.
Communications Decency Act.
That's it.
We will remove your liability.
Immunity.
That's it.
You're shutting all these people down?
You're acting like a publisher.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no.
We told you this.
You let this one talk, and you don't let this one talk, and you're basically kind of willy-nilly deciding who can speak and who can't.
And that is the act of a publisher, which you pursue into Section 230 and say, you are specifically not, but you're acting like one.
You see, the idea is that the world of the Internet is like a newsstand.
You just put out news, you know, you say, listen, I've got magazines.
I don't know what's in the magazines.
I just saw the magazines.
And other people.
Okay.
But that's not what's happening now.
And that's because I wouldn't be surprised if the left and the right and the Republicans and the Democrats are all in bed together.
And that this is a big charade.
Why you?
But deep down inside, they love this stuff.
And in the meantime, the genius who's involved in it is Elon Musk.
Genius.
Genius, genius.
Alright, speaking of geniuses, let's talk about some other.
This is another one too.
Now, I've told you this before and I'm going to say it again.
You know that MyPillow, they keep referring to this MyPillow guy.
Have you heard?
He is the most famous.
He is like Mike Lindell from MyPillow is synonymous with...
I don't know what, but I mean, they keep referring him in this derogatory way, which I find most, well, frankly, most contumacious.
And this contumacy, I'm going to put it into right away, because right now, they've got the biggest bedsheet sale ever.
Save Giza bedsheets as low as $29.98.
How about MyPillow Percale sheet sets as low as $29.98?
How about Overstock sales?
Up to 80% off.
How about, just go down the list.
Sandals, pillows, mattresses, blankets, towels, sleep systems.
Not a mattress, but a sleep system.
It's incredible.
Down blankets, 30%.
Mattress toppers, say 50%.
So you go to MyPillow.com, promo code Lionel, promo code Lionel, and there it is for you right now.
Promo code Lionel.
And if you'd like, and if you'd like it very much, all you gotta do is put in the, excuse me, as you say, if you want to use a phone number, like an old landline, which I do, by the way, 800-645-4965, 800-645-4965, mypillow.com, promo code Lionel.
Let me ask you a question.
Is anybody noticing what I'm noticing?
I'm constantly getting phone calls from all over the nation that are just, Spam!
Uvalde, Texas, you know, Domino Springs, Kansas.
What is this?
I don't know.
Why am I being waylaid with all of these weird foreign calls?
I ask you that question.
That's what I want to know.
Now, my friends, remember this.
You want to know the truth.
I'm here to give you the truth.
I'm not here to be a cheerleader.
Hey, this is great.
No, no, no.
When I told you, when I said Trump is not going to do it, Trump is going to lose this thing, you don't want to...
No, basically, would you stop doing that?
Because everybody was...
Oh, my God, he...
And listen, just be realistic.
Be realistic.
I mean, did you ever think that Lauren Boebert would win?
If I'm pronouncing her name correctly.
I never did, but she did.
She squeaked it out.
Maybe they said, you know what, let her do it.
It's like Carrie Lake.
They're just gone.
Please, please, play more chess.
Play more chess.
So you're able to see what's happening right now, plan ahead, and be able to handle multiple things.
Chess is a wonderful game and a wonderful strategy session.
And as you get older, it's important for you to learn how to do multiple things because Americans can't.
They look at one little issue and that's it.
And if I hear one more about Hunter's laptop, how about this one?
Well, CBS has verified that Hunter's laptop is authentic.
So what?
I've said enough.
I have said enough.
Enough!
You have been so terrific, you know that?
Haven't they been great, honey?
It was fantastic.
Now, I want you to do me a favor, which means a lot to me.
I want you to go to Mrs. L's...
Oh, my God.
She has the best channel available.
And I want you to go right now to Lynn's Warriors on YouTube.
Lynn's Warriors.
How about this?
Meet Hakeem Jeffries.
Social justice warrior and equality model opponent.
She does one you love called R.I.P.
Rest in Peace Hollywood.
That's a beaut.
How about period poverty?
That still kills me.
That's the one that kills me.
Maybe it's too much.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Also follow her at Lynn's Warriors.
Now, in the meantime, we'll be back tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel.
I'm going to be doing this.
Follow me on Twitter, at Lionel Media.
But I want you to understand something.
I'm not a cheerleader.
I'm not here to say, hey, this is great.
It's not always great.
There are other issues which I find far more interesting than this.
I've been stuck on Mearsheimer lectures on China that are just, oh my God, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
So remember, January the 14th, I want to see you at the cutting room.
I want to see you.
Come on up.
I say hello to everybody.
We take pictures all night long until we're done.
And the special guest is you, participatory.
Microphones, cards, the whole myth.
Don't forget, prepare with Lionel.com because I'm telling you, just look around the rest of the world.
It's going to happen here too.
And also, don't forget MyPillow.com MyPillow.com promo code Lionel.
Have a great and glorious day.
We'll see you tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel, 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
Da-da.
