Good day.
When I was like most people in school, high school or before that, I didn't understand what history meant.
It seemed...
Like this drudgery that we had to involve ourselves with.
And most people have absolutely no idea.
I always think that geography is the worst subject.
Because I can't say I'm a part of schools today, so I don't know who's doing what, but...
You cannot understand what's happening in the world if you don't understand propinquity and borders.
It means nothing to you.
This is our side of the world.
Very simple.
This is the rest of the world.
It's a little bit more complicated.
So that's one thing.
And history, well, what does it even mean?
What does it even mean?
Well, I did a brand new piece for LionelMedia.com.
This is my, as you know, my private channel.
And do all kinds of great stuff that is in the world.
All kinds of stuff that is in the news.
As you can imagine, all the stuff that people want to talk about.
I go into great, great detail about that.
Because...
And by the way, there's the private channel.
And please, if you're listening on a mobile phone or something, you must hit the more section in order to see the rest of it.
But, I find that most people I can't talk to.
It's always been like that.
And when it comes to politics, let me ask you this question.
If you were to come up with a word, If you had to come up with a word, a phrase, not really a phrase, a label, a doctrine, that explains your political ideology, what would it be?
Give me your name.
What are you?
Republican?
Democrat?
Liberal?
Conservative?
Libertarian?
Progressive?
Paleo-conservative?
Neoconservative?
Anarcho?
What word best describes you?
Because people do this all the time.
They love to use the term.
What is the best word?
Someone writes, all history is someone's opinion.
In part.
Napoleon said that history is a myth that men agree with.
Tolstoy said, as you know, history would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.
I think either Hindenburg or Franklin said, history is written by the winners.
People say conservative.
One writes stoic.
You write, you tell people you are a stoic.
A stoic.
Carlos writes, I'm an anarchist, live and let live.
That's anarchy?
Do you know what anarchy means?
Do you know what that term means?
Does it mean no laws?
No.
No.
Anarchy is the opposite, especially in international law, if you listen to Mearsheimer, anarchy is the opposite of hierarchy.
Okay?
Ed Koch, Democrat.
Does not make any sense.
Libertarian of yore.
Again, means nothing.
Independent.
Humanist.
What does that mean?
How do you work in to your situation?
You're a humanist.
How do you handle border disputes, crime, social spending, taxation, as a humanist?
It doesn't help.
It doesn't help.
You see where we get with this?
Let me give you a couple of things.
Let me give you a couple of things.
Someone writes, Roman Apostolic Catholic.
Again, not going to help you with political conversations.
Conservative Libertarian.
Again, these are words that are like this.
People think Libertarian is a good term.
Conservative.
Progressive.
People use a term that they consider to be positive.
Nobody says, you know, delusional.
Nobody uses that as a title.
Let me give you a couple of ideas here, which are very interesting.
There's something called realism.
And realism is what my...
Realism doesn't even sound like a belief.
It's big in international law.
In international interpretations, realism is really it.
It means, it's also known as political realism.
It's an international kind of a term that stresses its competitive and conflictual side.
It is usually contrasted with idealism or liberalism, which tends to emphasize cooperation.
It has nothing to do with theory.
Realism is one of the dominant schools of thought in international relations, theoretically formalizing the realpolitik statesmanship of early modern Europe.
And realpolitik is my favorite.
Without a doubt, there is nothing that says it better, in my humble opinion, than this seemingly, this kind of seemingly, I don't know what the word is, this rather, real doesn't mean real versus imaginary.
It means something a little bit different.
And the whole idea, and I love actually well, I like well-crafted definitions.
Realpolitik or realpolitik refers to enacting or engaging in diplomatic or, this is from various definitions, or political policies or ideologies and like,
based on considerations of given circumstances, facts, factors, situations, rather than strictly binding yourself to Ideological notions or moral and ethical, theoretical.
It's what's actually happening versus the way it should be.
And invariably, when somebody gives a name to what they believe in, they are not proponents of realpolitik.
When you say conservative, liberal, progressive, you're saying it in a way that's more of an ideological.
How does a progressive or a liberal handle entitlements?
You don't really know.
Most people, by virtue of our climate, our political labels are something that are a part of who we think we are.
If that makes any sense.
We like to use these terms.
I want you to hold on for one second.
I want you to stop for a minute.
Because we're going to talk about something right now.
This is something very, very important.
This is one of our incredibly important and critical sponsors.
And I cannot thank them enough, of course.
And the first one, very simply, is MyPatriotSupply.
Now, right now, if you go to MyPatriotSupply, specifically preparewithlinel.com, Read for yourself what we are talking about.
When you talk about food preparedness, emergency food, it conjures up in many people's minds, I don't know what.
I don't understand what it is, but it's almost like, is it frontier-like?
Is it reactionary?
It's probably one of the most rational, The most obvious choices you can make in terms of insurance.
That's why you should go to preparewithlionel.com.

Go there now.
They are simply perfection.
Now, the other day we were talking about Kevin McCarthy.
Let me tell you where all this led to.
Kevin McCarthy.
And people, one of the friends of mine, of course, my friends, they're wonderful people.
I make it sound like I don't like them.
I like them, but they just don't know anything.
They just don't know anything.
And they don't want to know anything.
So we're talking about the speaker of the house.
And I asked my friend, I said, what does the speaker do?
Oh!
Have you ever done that before?
What exactly does the speaker do?
And I'll always start off like this.
Dave!
You know, you're a pretty sharp guy.
If anybody would know this, you would.
Because I know you're a news junkie.
And I know you would know this.
And they kind of, well...
They feel the...
They feel the level of...
You know...
What am I trying to say?
The level of, you know, compliments.
Dave, what exactly is the Speaker of the House?
What does he or she do?
And what?
And wait.
Don't say any more.
Follow that up with, what exactly is the Federal Reserve?
What exactly?
How does the United Nations work vis-a-vis?
Ask the simplest of questions regarding subjects that people talk about all the time.
And perhaps one of the greatest speakers of all, and I did this on my private channel, was Henry Clay.
And something called the American theory, the American system of government.
The American system.
Henry Clay from Kentucky.
One of the most, the granddaddies of this.
And when you listen to what he said, what the original drafters of the Constitution said, this is a fellow who is going to be mostly governed by compromise.
Not by ideological, but compromise.
It was most probably suggested, suspected thought, that maybe, maybe, 10%, maybe, of all legislation should become law.
Now think about that.
You go, whoa, whoa, what?
He's the gatekeeper.
Not everything becomes law.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
But what does and what doesn't?
Listen to him.
Read.
YouTube, in particular, has some of the greatest lectures.
From professors and continuing education and history classes.
All are there for you.
And I would venture to say most people, with all due respect, never care the slightest about who these people are.
Henry Clay?
Yeah.
Who or what is Henry Clay?
When you think of the Speaker of the House in particular, and the history of does this have to be someone who is a member of Congress?
It's hard to say.
Tench Cox, one of my favorites.
He was the Pennsylvanian who wrote about...
I went to his grave in Philly whenever we are able to stop by.
I pay my respects.
Some of the best words ever.
But the first, listen to this, the first Speaker of the House, Frederick Augustus Conrad Muhlenberg.
Remember Muhlenberg County?
This is the great John Prine song.
Frederick Muhlenberg.
Now, throughout history, some of the names, Henry Clay, he was the 18th, oh no, excuse me, he was the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 18th Speaker of the House.
The granddaddy of them all.
How about these great ones?
Listen to this.
These should ring a bell.
How about Cannon?
Remember this?
Joseph Cannon.
This is the Cannon office building when you go to D.C. He was the 58th, 59th, 60th, 61st Speaker of the House.
And then we get into names at Longworth.
Nicholas Longworth.
The Longworth building.
Longworth was the 69th, 70th, 71st Speaker of the House.
And then later on we say things like, look at this.
We have, oh, Rayburn.
Sam Rayburn.
Oh my.
Now we get into one of the equivalents to LBJ.
Rayburn was the 77th, 78th, 79th, 81st, 82nd, 84th, 85th, 86th, 87th Speaker of the House.
Then came John McCormick.
The 87th, 88th, 89th, 90th, and 91st.
Then, Carl Albert.
It's a wonderful statue of him.
The 92nd, 93rd, 94th Speaker of the House.
And Thomas P. Tiponio.
96th, 97th, 98th, and 99th.
One thing that you will always hear, this misapplication of fact.
And it works something like this.
Thomas P. Tip O 'Neill, who was very good friends with Reagan, they had a drink, they got along, this is when politicians were admirable and honorable.
It was a different concept, different time, a different zeitgeist, so to speak.
But Tip O 'Neill purportedly said, all politics is local.
Remember that?
He didn't say that.
His father said that.
The story, as I heard, was that Tip O 'Neill, I believe, I think, the story goes he lost his very first race.
He was dejected.
And he went to his father and said, what did I do?
He said, you forgot something.
All politics is local.
It was his father.
These were different people.
This is negotiating.
This is negotiating.
This was a different time.
That I would have loved.
Where there was respect and honor and deportment and just politeness.
Politeness.
We don't have that anymore.
There's no...
It's a time that perhaps maybe...
But then again, one could say, well, you know, to be very fair, during that time there were people who were...
Beating each other almost to death on the floor of the house, and one person almost died, and you know, okay, okay.
It's a very, very good point.
But you cannot understand anything about now, unless you understand history, unless you've heard it, unless you hear, remember, it's the same Constitution.
And this is not really something subject to Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is more Bill of Rights and Commerce Clause and other particular aspects of it.
But not this.
See, we live in a different world right now.
We live in a soundbite world.
We live in a different time.
And there are people who don't understand that when you say, why haven't they signed this?
Why haven't they done something about this?
Congress was never intended to just...
We'll see sometimes that some legislation never hits it.
Imagine being the Speaker of the House during a time when the country was about to split via Civil War.
When you had slavery.
You will never understand the true context of slavery vis-a-vis politics in Washington.
Never.
Never understand that.
Never understand...
It is the most fascinating subject.
It is so...
You wonder sometimes, was this really the product of our drafter's genius?
Or was this a part of just some sloppily, you know, slapdash thrown together pastiche and, you know, what do you call it?
Some mosaic of stuff that wasn't really smooth.
There's a lot that's missing, but yet...
It's incredible.
There are countries that have constitutions, and they have constitutions that deal with the most incredible things that are absolutely written out, rights and privileges, well not privileges, but rights that you can't believe.
But they're called parchment rights, meaning they're never enforced.
There's nobody to enforce what the Constitution says.
We have this thing where we have this beautiful balance where one can enforce or limit the other.
Changing this subject a little bit.
If you ever want to see something that's interesting, look and see how fentanyl works.
How opioids work.
What they do.
You will also marvel, as do I, by how many people cannot pronounce fentanyl.
They call it fentanyl.
O-L.
When it's fentanyl.
Y-L.
I'll never understand that.
I just don't get it.
But people, you know, they just do.
They just say these things.
And the idea of excitatory and inhibitory.
You know, glutamate versus the inhibitor, you know, dopamines and these other...
And what's so interesting about it is that there's this wonderful push and pull and accelerator and brake and accelerator and brake.
And that's...
When I was reading about this, I thought, this is Congress.
It's the same thing.
It's this incredibly fascinating...
Idea of how this thing works.
And when you understand how, oh my god, fentanyl in particular, when it affects respiratory, mu receptors in the gut, mu receptors which affect peristalsis and constipation, mu receptors in the hypothalamus that affect respiration, which slow things down.
Here's one for you.
People who are coming off of Fentanyl, people who have been so deadened, who is excitatory, who glutamate overdoses by virtue of this imbalance, they have not felt anything.
They are incapable of the ability to process.
When they are withdrawing everything on them, their skin, their clothing, their sheets, the wind, the feet, they are in agony by virtue of this over...
It's fascinating.
Of course, we're not going to get into that.
Because we, for the most part, are told, don't go deep into something.
Enjoy the playground of the superficial.
Just stay at the very top level.
Don't go too deep into something.
Don't ask yourself, well, why is this?
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
History is something that if only...
If I could go back and do it now, I could not have possibly understood this at the age of 17 or 18 than I do now.
There's no way.
I just could not have done it.
I don't know when it was, but something turned on.
The light turned on.
I don't know when this was.
I'm trying to think of when was that.
It just, in terms of, oh.
And it's epiphany and aha, but...
Something else happens.
You know, epiphany moments are when we realize, oh, got it!
Something like, that's the way it works.
It's a feeling of almost excitement.
Animals don't have that.
We have that.
It's this feeling, I hope you have it.
This sense of, oh!
Now, add one more level to that, and that is awe, where you say, not only do you understand it, You can't believe what you're seeing.
Sometimes I listen to statistics about outer space and planets.
When you think of there are stars, we can put 8 million Earths inside our sun, and don't quote me on this, and there is another star, either a dwarf, no, whatever, where we can put 83 million suns inside.
I mean, the numbers just...
I can't process these.
A trillion stars with a trillion planets in a trillion galaxies.
You know, these trillion, trillion, trillion.
These numbers, you know, 10 to the...
10 to the 12?
If a billion is 10 to the 9, 10 to the 12. Times 10 to the 12, that's 10 to the 24. Well, sometimes I think that when we travel to Washington and you see the way it's supposed to be.
And by the way, people during those particular times always said the same thing.
They had problems with lethargy and the like.
But imagine what it was like when you have...
Henry Clay and others worried that they're going to be able, that some country is going to come in and while the United States was in this fractious kind of a, you know, not very solid state, these other folks are going to come in and they're going to, other countries, in essence, come in and then take over.
Imagine if Spain, Came in during this and told Maine, listen, why don't you work with us?
You've got no allegiance to these people.
Think about that.
This is what Clay was thinking about.
This is when the Monroe Doctrine came along, also later on.
The idea of telling people, stay out of the Western Hemisphere.
Does that sound familiar?
You can't understand history unless you understand how the Monroe Doctrine works, how that worked in 1962.
How the Cuban Missile Crisis, how it was really about missiles in Turkey, and how we have forgotten how we utilized the Monroe Doctrine.
And other countries, if they do it, this very same thing, we think of it as, oh my God, this is draconian.
Don't you know American history?
No, you don't.
It's this level of...
It's like not knowing something.
If I could turn off your scent, your ability to smell, Anything.
I could probably set more fires than you can imagine because you'll never smell anything burning.
You'll never have that.
Think about it.
If I can shut down your eyes, obviously.
History is almost like a sense.
I'm turning something off.
This doesn't mean anything to you.
We don't understand the Constitution because we never have classes to explain.
Citizens need to go to learn what this means before you go on social media, before you watch cable TV, before you scream and yell about something.
You have to know how does this work?
What does it say?
What does this not say?
Go through the news.
We have this reaction society.
We just react to things without any framework whatsoever.
If you had never heard of a sport before, if you were from another planet and saw a football game for the first time with no context of or perspective on, you know, competition, points, athleticism, rivalries, tribalism, if you didn't know what this was, what would you think football was?
What would you think if you had no sense of history?
You wouldn't know what.
What is this?
Competition.
Competition?
It's a team.
A team?
Why are you doing this?
Because it's athleticism.
To see who wins.
To see who wins what?
The game.
What's a game?
It's an artificial competition system where we have a...
Arbitrary system of rules where people do various things to get either points or what have you.
And then after a certain period of time or after a certain amount of scores, it ends and we declare somebody a winner.
And what happens then?
Then they have bragging rights.
What does that mean?
Well, in this particular case, we have the...
Believe me, when you have to...
When you have to...
Here's something for the first...
Remember the old...
Andy Griffith do the...
And they called it football.
You know, he's on the phone.
And then Bob Newhart did the thing on the phone.
And he thought, boy, that was so clever.
Until you realize Georgie Jessel did it way before they did it.
Talking to them...
If you heard rap, how many young people do they think, wow, I love rap and hip-hop?
Go back a little further.
Debbie Harry.
Blondie.
One of the first.
Wow!
Go back.
Gil Scott-Heron.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
Johannesburg.
Whatever.
Go back.
Cab Calloway.
Go back.
Country Music.
Hank Snow.
Syncopated lyrics.
Go back.
If you don't realize, this is all everybody's...
Nobody has been doing this, but it was called something else.
It puts things in perspective.
Have you seen pizza shows?
Pizza's bread with stuff on it.
Bread with stuff on it.
Bread with stuff in it.
Bread with stuff...
I mean, there's no...
You can call it whatever you want.
You can call it a turnover.
You can call it a pizza.
You can call it a calzone.
You can call it an empanada.
You can call it whatever you want.
It's bread with stuff in it.
I mean, they've been doing this since somebody...
Now, the first guy that I want to meet...
Yeah, people want to meet people who made the egg.
I got an idea.
Why don't we eat that?
That's okay, because you could have obviously seen birds and other people eat eggs, and you would have thought, okay, maybe that's where you got the idea.
But the person who came up with a sausage versus a wiener or a frankfurter...
Or a sausage stuffed intestine casing?
Now that is a thinker.
What is that, serendipity?
How did you do that?
Who would have thought?
The first time anybody hunted and went through the entrails...
The guts of something that they cook.
The last thing in the world, and you've probably nicked it or cut it or whatever.
The last thing you're going to world is, wait, wait a minute.
This makes a wonderful tube for us to put meat in.
Do you know what that is?
Yes.
Do you smell this?
Yes.
You want to put food in there?
Oh, we'll clean it out.
What?
Somebody somewhere said, no, no, no, I got an idea.
We're going to use the intestines.
We're going to use this as a sausage case.
A sausage?
Why don't we just eat it?
No!
Maybe get smoking and pregnant.
When you look at things that way, it's fascinating.
What are the three societies that made all the cooking that we know?
China, Rome, and Greece.
That's it.
French, brand new.
Brand new.
Those are the old ones.
And Chinese, number one.
Frying, baking, this and that.
Brilliant.
If you don't understand perspective or history, nothing means anything to you.
Nothing.
And if you don't appreciate it, even when I tell you this, there's something wrong with you.
You're missing the beauty of something.
Oh, I see.
Same thing with behaviors.
Behaviors.
Why do we do things?
Let me ask you a question.
You're very smart people.
Why do you think when we say yes?
Why is this yes?
In most cultures all over the world, this is yes, this is no.
This is no.
Why?
Where did that come from?
When you think about that, I'm dying to hear your versions of that.
I want to talk to you about two other incredible, incredible sponsors that we want to thank.
First is our friends at ZStack.
Now right now, you are catching on to this.
Because we are very, very attuned to the notion of phytonutrients and bioavailable phytonutrients that we need.
We have immunodeficiency disorders of every conceivable kind, from flu season to you name it.
Throw that into the mix, plus poor diet, a lack of sleep.
We don't sleep enough, you know it.
And quality sleep, hence the MyPillow folks, but...
The adverse reactions to medical treatments, a lack of exercise, lethargy, stress, depression, your system is taking a...
I'm sorry!
I don't have to tell you this.
So right now, a bottle of Z-Stack would be perfect.
Also for you and for your kids, one bottle, think about this, or bottle, as they say here, has not only these wonderful vitamins such as zinc, Vitamin C and vitamin D. You know how I love D. And plant-based nutrients like quercetin, antioxidants, flavonoids.
They scavenge particles in the body known as free radicals which damage cell membranes, damage DNA.
It's just perfect.
Phytonutrients, plant nutrients, plant-based, bioavailable, meaning they're there.
Just because you take a whole bunch of it doesn't mean you're going to get it.
Doesn't mean it's going to do anything.
So right now, right now is a chance for you to do something so, so smart.
Use this link right here.
And by the way, if you're listening on a phone, hit more so you can see below.
Get this URL.
You will thank me later for ZStack.
Get 15% off.
Okay?
15% off.
It's that simple.
And speaking of something on a more, I guess, I remember the first time I talked to you about EMPs.
You made me so proud.
Because you said, oh, I know what that is.
I ask folks, and they've never heard of this.
Lord have mercy.
You've never heard of EMPs?
You've never heard of electromagnetic pulses ever?
Carrington class events?
Lord!
An electromagnetic pulse, basically, it is feared, it is believed, it was seen, will basically destroy all electronics in society, as we know.
Other than that, it's no big deal.
And that's why there's this wonderful Midwest veteran-owned company called EMP Shield.
That has undergone testing at Keystone Compliance, which is a military-certified facility, and is listed by the Department of Homeland Security.
And they have devices that can protect not just your vehicle and your home, which are critical, but your generator, solar system, ham radio, RV, and much more.
And as everything becomes more and more electric and smart and green or whatever, well, needless to tell you, an electromagnetic pulse...
Put it this way.
We're not talking that little strip at the bottom that you plug your computer into.
This is serious.
So go right now.
Use this link.
Use this link.
And where is it?
How about right here?
There we go.
Use this.
EMP attacks are real.
Eliminate the threat right now and go there.
Think safety and security.
Go and use this link.
Just go for yourself and check.
EMP shield.
Okay.
So why do you think we do this?
Why do we do that?
Why do we do that?
For years, people wanted to know.
What is the history?
I love stuff like this.
Why?
Go to any country.
Do you like this?
Mmm.
What's that?
Mmm.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
Mmm.
Why do you make that noise?
Of all the noise you can make, versus...
We all got to get that one.
Well, it was believed, it has been posited, it has been advanced, that when babies, since the time of our entry into the world, when we suckled, when we nursed, this was the motion.
This was the motion that not only stimulated lactation, but also, that's why cats do the...
They make the, what do they call them?
Muffins, whatever.
They do this kind of a thing.
Well, supposedly they thought that is also trying to find the mammala, so to speak.
And this moving around.
Either to tell mom, here I am.
But, this is what you do when you were nursing.
This.
This motion.
Just that thought.
Think about this.
And when something is in your mouth, something that you want to spit out, how do you get rid of it?
Not like that, like this.
You want to fling it.
You want to get it out of your mouth.
You want to know.
Now, is that the answer?
I don't know.
But it fascinates me.
Fascinates me.
I love the way we do this.
I love laughing.
I love to hear people in Every language, every culture, people who've never heard any language other than their own, no matter how primitive, no matter how advanced, they laugh the same.
What is laughing?
Why do we laugh?
What is this?
This paroxysmal, diaphragmatic kind of a laugh.
What is it?
Huh?
Where are the likes?
I have no idea where the likes are.
Pour ye my heart out, and there are no likes.
That's a very good question.
Where are these likes?
What does this mean?
Oh my God.
There are things that people do differently.
I used to say people sign their name, but they don't sign their name anymore.
But the way people sneeze, your sneeze is your...
It is you.
It is your...
How do I say this?
It is your...
Signature.
The way people sneeze.
My mother sneezed so loud, people would, trains would derail.
Birds would lose flight.
It was the most frightening thing you've ever heard in your life.
It was inhuman.
It wasn't normal.
It wasn't by any stretch of the imagination normal in any way whatsoever.
None.
But, And also laughing.
Laughing is something that is how you do it.
It's something you cannot help.
And there's nothing, the most, the most beautiful, the most gorgeous and beauteous thing ever that I can think of is when a little baby is laughing.
And it knows something.
And dogs don't have it.
Chimps don't have it.
Birds don't have it.
Nothing.
It knows something's different.
It says, Mom, Dad, this.
Something is happening right now.
It's different.
It's weird.
And it's okay.
And I am amused.
And I understand it.
It's absurd.
You're doing something crazy.
Something's funny happening.
You're repeating something.
I'm being titillated.
I'm being...
How does it know this?
And when a child does not laugh.
When a child does not make eye contact, when a child does not do that, we are very concerned about that.
When a child does not laugh, does not find something funny, it's the most incredible thing in the world.
Dogs don't do that.
Laughing is different.
Laughing is so higher order.
To process something and then to evaluate it, what you're doing is you're commenting on the absurdity of it.
I can't talk enough, but when they look at you and something will kill them, they will laugh.
And that's why, that's why their innocence, their purity, they are so perfect.
They don't know anything about hate.
They don't know anything about anything.
All they know is about love, all they know is about happy, about eating, and mom and dad, and the dog, and they don't know jealousy, they don't know anything.
I mean, they can be a little persnickety if they're not feeling good.
That's why they're, it's like the perfect human being.
And then, reality comes in.
Reality comes in.
And that's why they are to be protected.
Laura Floyd says, I love to laugh.
Well, it depends where.
We were at an event one time.
This is Chuckles a Clown.
Remember this?
We were at a church and it was the memorial for a departed relative.
And nothing was going on.
Nothing was going on.
Until Something happened and in our party, one of our members did one of these burst out laughing.
It sounded like a convulsion.
And there was nothing going on.
That's the funny part.
And people were just...
And the more we looked at her, the worse she just lost it.
Still don't understand to this day what that was about.
But the suppression of it.
Chuckles the Clown, if you remember this.
The suppression.
The idea that don't laugh.
There's nothing funny going on.
And it...
Was that humor?
I was analyzing.
I was thinking about this.
Was she really laughing?
Was she laughing at it?
Or was she laughing at the fact that she couldn't laugh?
And then there's something about being in a situation where you cannot.
The priest of this particular event, I'll never forget, all of a sudden, I don't know what happened, but he pulls this Bela Lugosi, and all he, he was, you know, for those of us who are here, to sanction your love.
So anyway, I turned to someone at a party, and I just said, good evening.
That's it.
And I can keep a straight face.
I'm thinking, what is so funny about this?
It's not funny outside.
It's only funny now because you're not supposed to laugh.
Now you figure that one out.
Try explaining this one to some foreign critter, some extraterrestrial, why we laugh and why we laugh when we're not supposed to laugh.
And the more we tell somebody, don't laugh.
And it's considered silly and because remember something, when you laugh with somebody, they like you.
I was picking a jury one time and it was an armed robbery.
It was a good group.
And I said, Mrs. So-and-so, she was happy to be Cuban.
I said, do the police ever make a mistake?
I'm the defense lawyer.
Do the police ever make a mistake?
Sure.
I said, come on.
That's on TV.
No, they don't.
No, come on.
Make a mistake now, today?
Sure, they make a mistake.
Now, the prosecutor is not listening to any of this.
Now, everybody was smiling.
And I said, do you think they can make a mistake now?
I mean, would it ever get to the trial level?
Sure!
And they start laughing.
And we were talking later on with a judge that said, do you know why they were laughing?
Because they liked me.
They trusted me.
They didn't laugh with the other person.
When you laugh with somebody, you like them.
Laughing is something which is very, very...
I'm not going to get into smiles.
I'm not going to get into smiles, yawning, sneezing.
Sneezing, I don't know what that is.
But it is...
Now, you're going to ask yourself, how did we go from Henry Clay To sneezing and laughing in church.
Simple.
Everything that we see, everything around us that's the most fascinating, we're not talking about.
What we're talking about, for the most part, is the most overly done, overly, it's been picked apart to death.
Go through anything on social media and you'll see these are the topics that everybody has talked to to the point where there is nothing, where you have taken this rag and you've squeezed it to the point where there's not a drop.
Of anything left.
That's what that is.
Okay?
That's all I'm going to tell you.
Period.

And more importantly, it means the world to me and I ask you, if you love us, And if you love what Mrs. L is doing, and she's doing such incredible work, follow Lynn's Warriors thusly, right here, on our view, right here.

All right, my friends, it's a nice 40 degrees.
Yesterday it was freezing.
Absolutely freezing.
And it wasn't that cold.
It was nothing.
But for some reason, isn't that funny?
41 degrees.
I thought to myself, this is the end of the world.
And we've had 5 degrees, 10, where it's like, ah.
