I have a question for you.
And I want you to get ready for this because we're going to give you some things to think about.
Which are very, very important.
Something that I find...
I don't really get a lot on social media because, frankly, I find a lot of it boring, which is today's subject.
What is it that is boring?
I know that's a great question.
And, of course, if you are keeping score at home, and if you're just kind of...
You know, typing away.
That's your cue to say, well, this is boring, and you're boring, and this event is boring, because I've done this thing too before.
I know how trolling works, but you're not even close to being good at it.
In any event, you do know you must like this video.
You do know this, right?
You do know this.
You have to like it, subscribe.
You know all that, don't you?
Doesn't that just...
I hate saying it, because I...
I watch videos.
I'm thinking, I don't even know what this is.
Today, we're going to look at Danish cheese merchants.
Please like this video.
I don't even know who you are.
Okay, I like it.
Tell me about the cheese.
I saw something on Dutch cheese.
Fantastic.
And, of course, I do the ones in the words of the Swedish one here, in the words of the chase, in the Adam and the Guta, Huda.
Was it Guda?
I called it Guda.
They called it Huda.
I love this.
Don't you?
I was mesmerized by this.
Mesmerized.
And now let's talk to Furnitutin.
There's a name with, like, four consonants and a...
And a diacritical mark on it.
You don't even know what this is.
It's not an umlaut.
It's not a...
What is that?
Or that Swedish, that Svensk, that thing, you know, with the fi or the fi.
What is this?
His name is Fjöndek.
So I've got the African clicking noise in it.
I love this.
We go down to divans to get divans in the woods of the cheese in the woods.
And to make my vote is to put it in the salt bath to then make this run of the verge.
I am mesmerized.
Mesmerized.
I've always been like that.
It's not boring at all.
I'm thinking, and what do I do?
It's got two million views.
Must be good, right?
But what is boring?
I'm never going to go through I saw some stuff the other day that is so boring.
And I'm saying, I use the word boring.
I insulted a friend of mine.
I said, well, you know, we were talking about something and my friend was putting together this media package.
He said, well, he's boring.
How dare you?
Do you know who he is?
I said, yes, he's boring.
So what do I mean by boring?
What does it mean?
What do I mean by that?
Well, let me explain.
Here's something for you.
What is boring?
The first definition of boring is you don't know what's there.
Let me give you an example.
I have this as a gift.
It's a very nice little thing.
I like this.
It's one of these little, I don't know, these Buddhist.
They're not Buddhist.
These prayer kind of things.
They're kind of cool, cute, cool.
You know, you put one on it.
Oh, it's nice.
And when you first put it, you say, hey!
And maybe you can wear two or three to put a strap.
It's kind of, you know, whatever it is.
Okay.
And you put it on, and at first you kind of notice it, you hear it, whatever.
And then, you don't know it.
You don't notice it anymore.
It's gone.
It's like putting on socks.
In the words, in the words.
You put socks on.
And you feel them at first.
Then you don't.
Why is that?
Because the socks are boring.
Boring is good.
Boring is good.
Why is boring good?
Your brain is like radar, looking for something, looking for an enemy.
Always on the lookout.
Screeching, tires, babies crying, smell burning, something's up, alarm.
Always, always ready to go.
Right?
This is what you are.
You're on alert.
You're on alert.
Indie words.
You're on alert.
search.
And as soon as things get kind of usual, you say, have you ever done this before?
You ever been driving?
Who's had this happen?
You're driving, and all of a sudden, you go, oh my God, I'm driving!
Oh God, I'm driving!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh my God!
Was I asleep?
Was I awake?
You're on some...
On a long desert highway.
No cool breeze in your air.
Nothing.
You're just like, oh my God.
It's called perception without awareness.
You were awake.
Just nothing hit you.
Do you ever have your computer just all of a sudden shut off?
Why?
Oh, and we're going to sleep.
Why?
Well, we weren't doing anything.
We weren't going to conserve energy.
We're just, okay, we're here.
Just jiggle the mouse, touch the thing.
We're here.
We just want to shut down.
Whenever novel stimuli are not novel, you turn off.
Habituation, by the way, is interesting.
Habituation is interesting.
This is when you become used to something and it doesn't have the stimulus.
You're there.
You kind of know it's there.
You're just kind of used to it.
For example, if I...
If I always say the same thing, if I always scream the same event, if I always do the same thing, I...
You hear me.
You hear me, but you just don't react to it because you've habituated to it.
This is almost like you don't even know it's there anymore.
It doesn't mean anything.
It's not doing anything.
It's boring.
Not that you're used to it.
It's just not doing anything.
And that's one of the things which I have such a high level of.
I turn off so fast.
And what I do, and my genius, in the words, my genius, is seeing something and saying, no, no, no, no, no.
That's fascinating.
Watch this.
I saw yesterday a lecture on YouTube.
About dogs.
And it was called...
Ethno...
Oh, God.
See?
I thought I wasn't going to forget it.
Ethno...
This was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.
It's called...
Ethno...
Oh, I'll get the word of it.
You know what I'm going to do?
Don't move a minute.
This is so important.
I want you to do this because I love...
I don't have a dog.
I don't have a dog, but I love dogs.
Dogs are so important.
I don't love them myself.
I love the subject of dogs.
I don't want to have a dog.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Dogs to me are like...
People always say like grandchildren.
I don't have grandchildren either.
At least that I don't know about.
Remember that one?
Do you have any kids?
Not that I know of.
Okay, very good.
But you will because of one, two, three, and me.
Oh, you will, all right.
Anyway, there was a piece, and I want you to see this, if you, oh my lord.
It was one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen about how not only are dogs important to us, we live with dogs.
They have been with us.
They are co-participants in this world of ours.
This is not just some kind of a...
I'll get the word for you.
I don't want to bore you.
But I'm also, when I want to find out something, I will stop whatever I'm doing.
To find the answer.
No matter what it is.
And I know this is a problem.
But I will watch this and watch it and watch it and watch it.
Ethno...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, here we go.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's called the History of Dogs Evolution.
Yes.
Hold on.
This is this important.
This important.
I'm going to tell you right now.
Because this is something you should watch.
And I want to just celebrate this incredible piece of great, great...
Hang on.
Here we go.
This is called...
His name is David Ian Howe.
H-O-W-E.
David Ian Howe.
I want to get this word.
David...
You see what I'm doing?
Learn from me right now.
Learn from me.
I've got to know the answer.
I don't care who's with me.
Oh!
Ethnosynology.
Thank you.
Ethnosynology.
E-T-H-N-O.
Ethno.
C-Y-N-O-L-O-G-Y.
This was...
Now listen to this.
This was not that dogs are just fun.
We are together.
The study of dogs within the past and present human societies.
I was never so fascinated with anything in my life.
It was incredible.
And this young man was so adept at explaining this.
It was brilliant.
It was brilliant.
And I wanted to just bring that to your attention.
So, I found that fascinating.
If I put this on TV, do you know what would happen?
Do you know what would happen?
Nothing.
People would not find it interesting.
People would not, they would not understand interesting for the sake of interesting.
They wouldn't understand it.
Richard Feynman.
The great physicist.
Used to get involved in things.
He learned safe cracking.
He just loved things for the sake of knowing them.
He would be doomed on social media today.
Could not have done it because people don't have the attention span.
They get bored.
Their screen turns off too fast.
As a friend of mine the other day, we were talking to a dear friend of mine who's watching right now.
We said it's levels of understanding.
Certain things that we do.
Certain things that we do.
I always find that what I think is interesting is more interesting than what most people think are interesting.
Let me give you an example very quickly.
I think I've told you this before.
One time years ago, I was standing somewhere on the east side, lower east side.
I don't know where I was.
So it was a weekend.
And there were these people from out of town, you can tell, taking pictures of buildings.
You can always tell.
They look like they're from out of town.
They're taking pictures of buildings.
And behind them, so help me God, was a person dressed as Jesus carrying a cardboard or plywood or some kind of a little cross on wheels and a bucket.
Bucket is something, I don't know what it was.
No thorns, but dresses, you can say, oh that's Jesus, beard, a whole bit.
Pulling this sign, I mean this cross, on wheels, at the base of wheels, carrying a bucket.
So I said to these people who were taking pictures, I said, excuse me, you're from out of town, aren't you?
Yes, I said, well, I live here, and I'm going to tell you something.
You might want to get a picture of this, because even by New York standards, this is interesting.
And that's what I do.
I say, this is what's interesting, not this.
You're missing the point.
You're taking a picture of a big building, because you haven't seen one, and you're from Topeka, and I understand that.
I dig that.
No problem.
But this is more interesting.
This is what you shouldn't miss.
This.
This event right here.
You're missing this.
There was a YouTube, I don't want to go into detail, there were certain, within certain strata of YouTube, there were different controversies that go on.
And one particular controversy I saw, I wanted to talk about, and I wouldn't, not about, follow me on this, not dissecting the issue everybody was talking about, but how.
All of these people, all of a sudden, were involved in a story which was of no importance whatsoever.
This is Al knows what I'm talking about.
That was the story.
Not the story they were talking about, but the fact that they were getting together.
The Super Bowl is not the story.
How people react to the Super Bowl is the story.
That's the story.
I would love to do TV shows that I wish people would do.
One show that would be the biggest story ever.
One is, who has the worst or the most screwed up family?
And we've been having a war.
And people would say, you know, I can relate to that.
Because sometimes with families, for the most part, it's the most interesting thing in the world.
Why?
Because these people, you had no say in selecting.
None!
You just woke up in this group.
Birth is waking up.
You woke up.
You woke up from nothing.
That's called birth.
You woke up.
You weren't created.
You woke up.
And we always talk about what happens after death.
What happens before you were born?
Where Stephen Hawking says, what's south of the South Pole?
Who knows?
And you're in this family.
And you go, this is your brother.
What?
You kind of look alike.
I'm nothing like him.
He's nothing like me.
Well, you're in the same house.
I know.
Epigenetics, genetics.
These are your parents.
Okay.
And most of the time, you know, they're good.
Sometimes they're not.
Or, sometimes you can say, these are your parents, but they're not your birth parents.
Really?
I find that fascinating.
This would be the greatest story ever, but you know what?
You would have to have adults write it.
And the level of fascination, and why is it important?
Because it's in front of us, and we haven't even dissected it yet.
We haven't even looked at it yet.
How about this?
In-laws.
This is really interesting.
Okay, so here you are.
You wake up from nothing.
It's called birth.
And they say, if you don't have any brothers or sisters, you're an only child.
Isn't that something?
Doesn't that sound good?
Only.
I'm the only child.
Not in the world, but in this family, well, in this immediate family, I'm the only child.
And if you're adopted and an only child, you're really unique.
The only child, you know, ratified...
Because adoption is a very interesting thing.
In law, to adopt, to ratify, to endorse means something.
So there you...
Now, then...
You're living your life.
Everything's fine.
And then one day you say, I think I'm falling in love.
I am falling in love.
I want to marry this person.
Get ready.
Gets even better.
Wait a minute.
You know this family?
Now you're going to meet his or her family.
They're now your in-laws.
What?
In-laws.
This is her, his family.
This is his crazy Uncle Dave.
So, is Uncle Dave in front of me?
Well, through affinity, but not consanguinity.
Consanguinity is blood.
Persterpes and all this stuff.
Then, you've got the brother or the sister of your spouse.
That is your brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
Isn't that interesting?
I didn't even give it a name!
Like words like step, stepdaughter, stepson, half-brother, stepbrother, brother-in-law, stepbrother-in-law, half-stepbrother-in-law.
Wow!
We have these names for this to explain this configuration.
I love...
Little Baby Ducks.
I think Tom T. Hall said it best.
Right outside of West Orange, New Jersey, there's this wonderful little park that overlooks New York and you can see where the 9-11...
And they have every now and then these family reunions.
I love this.
And they have t-shirts and the family reunion.
And a lot of them I've noticed, it's not just...
A lot of them are African-American.
T-shirts and stuff.
But there's also Indian, apparently Indian, Asian, you know, whatever.
And they're all together and somebody gets out there and scouts out the barbecue or the little, you know, the shelter and they're there and they're running around and they have T-shirts.
Look, we're in the family.
We're together.
We're connected by name.
And then there's the matriarch or the patriarch.
Fabulous.
It's the most interesting stories how we work.
Now, in this ethnosynology, which is basically the study of wolves, because dogs are wolves, a dog is a wolf.
Or some people say a wolf.
Some people can't pronounce wolf.
They say wolf.
They can't say sphere.
They say spear.
They can't say pamphlet.
They say pamphlet.
They can't say mastectomy.
Tucker, they say mastectomy.
Certain words you just can't, they just don't.
I had a friend who never could say Czechoslovakia.
For all the money in the world, after all of the practice, anyway, that would be the most incredible story in the world.
Why?
You can relate to it.
But it wouldn't.
It wouldn't be popular.
Why?
Because you have to have the attention span.
Beyond that of a gnat.
I want you to think about this.
I want you to wait for one second.
I want you to wait because I'm going to talk about something which may or may not apply to you.
And if it hasn't applied to you, it will at some point in the immediate future, it will apply to you.
But first I want to talk about two very important, very important sponsors of ours.
We love them and we want you to know about them.
It's very important.
One of them is, of course, Our dear friends at ZStack.
Now, right now, as you know, there is a...
It's very critical.
Oops.
Right now, there is a...
Why is this not working?
This is the strangest thing.
Now, for some reason, my keyboard is not speaking.
Isn't life like that?
Isn't that interesting?
It's not speaking to me.
Ah, here we go.
Here we go.
See, life's like that.
We're always trying to figure out why is he not understanding me?
Because you're not coding correctly.
Oh, there we go.
There we go.
Z-Stack.
He was talking to a good friend of mine the other day about vitamins.
Vitamins, as we say.
Vitamins.
It was a wonderful piece of the day.
A wonderful video.
Vitamin D. He's from the UK.
Vitamin D. Vitamin D. Oh!
I just did two videos this morning, one explaining politics vis-a-vis the immune system.
Oh, it's a beaut.
And vitamin D are one of those things.
D3, D2, D3.
Mushrooms and yeast?
D2.
Animal plant?
D3.
And how...
It is so important.
Most people have never had a serum D level.
It is the most important thing in the world.
It is linked to everything.
It has been around since day one.
And it's not even really a vitamin.
It's really a hormone.
And flavonoids and how this helps your immune system.
And Z-Stack is it.
And I implore, I ask, I request for you to act accordingly.
And also, Remember a while back?
Maybe.
Another great sponsor is our friends at EMP Shield.
Gee, why would this be of interest now?
Hmm.
Well, a lot of folks have been talking about the horrors that tend into an electromagnetic pulse attack, a Kerington effect kind of class.
What would you do?
What would we do?
What would anybody do?
You are so smart.
I've just provided this link.
American made, just read this and you'll say, I gotta have this.
This, I've got to have.
Don't let me sell you.
Read.
All the questions.
You're smart.
You'll know what to do.
Now let's talk about something which happened the other day.
And this has happened.
Let me ask you this.
How many of my dear friends of you right now How many have been on a jury?
Not gotten jury duty or not gotten the notice in the mail.
How many of you have sat on a jury, either state or federal, petty jury or grand jury?
Grand jury, which you don't want to get those because that's forever.
Six weeks depending upon them.
And federal grand jury can be It's an honor.
Don't get me wrong.
It's an honor to appear.
But, how many have been on a jury?
How many?
Who has been on a jury?
I've never been on a jury.
I've gotten jury summonses.
I've picked a bunch.
I've done trials, but I've never been.
And everybody will tell you, You don't want to be on one, but you love the fact that you were on one.
Am I correct?
You don't want to be on a jury, but you appreciate this whole thing.
It is the most important thing ever.
Ever.
And to this day, I respect them.
I believe them.
I think, now there are some exceptions, obviously, sometimes people will kind of laugh at them, but I love them.
I love them.
And it is something which is one of those things where I, again, if I had to explain to somebody from another planet, I'm saying this, a jury The jury is the trier of fact.
And the jury does one thing.
You hold up the x-ray, so to speak, and you say, beyond a reasonable doubt, or not.
Or, in the case of a civil, preponderance of the evidence, which is really easy.
Really easy.
Or not.
Though, juries don't know this.
They will say, I don't care how easy this is.
I don't want to.
They are the best.
They are the best.
So the other day, a friend of mine called up and said, listen, I got this jury summons.
Okay.
How do I get out of jury duty?
How do you get out of it?
Not get called.
What do you mean?
Don't get called.
And you're out of it.
No, no, but I don't want to go down there.
Can I call somebody up?
Not here.
Some jurisdictions, maybe.
Not here.
You've got to go.
I remember one time in New York, there was this new rule that says, everybody goes to jury duty.
And it was, when I went, Rudy Giuliani was picked.
Henry Kissinger, Robert De Niro.
It was a who's who.
And then all the Stars had their agents say, well, you've got to go on jury duty.
So they wanted to go on jury duty.
And New York Post said, today, on this jury, it was Harvey Keitel and, you know, Myron Florin.
You know, like, these weird combinations.
And it was good.
I liked that, because that's the way it is.
You want people to...
And they always ask the question, what do I do to get off?
Do I say...
Well, I just think we should, you know, execute everybody or, you know, put them all in jail and say, what if you get a civil case?
What if you get a landlord?
I think Rudy Giuliani had a civil case involving a, if I recall correctly, an apartment where the water was too hot or the temperature was too hot, somebody was scalded.
There's no jail, it's a civil case.
And you may not even get the chance to even ask that.
Do they bring you in?
Okay, thank you very much.
Depending upon where you are.
Okay, welcome, Jerry.
Okay, the following.
I'm going to call your numbers.
If I call your number, please go in this room over there.
Call your number.
When you call your number.
Okay, and they always have these people, these lifeless clerks who've been there like for 50 years.
Okay, here we go.
5, 22, 50. What?
24, 7. And for some reason, whenever there's any kind of PA system in New York, whether it's the subways or whatever, it is the worst.
5, 15, 48, 12, and they sit there.
And when I was there, there was a fellow, because you're bored, you bring all your books or whatever, there was this guy sitting there with a smile on his face, just staring.
And he didn't have anything to read.
He just sat there for hours.
And I kind of liked it.
I sat in and I'd go to lunch.
You'd go to lunch for two hours, come back.
You normally hit like two days and they say, alright, you're excused.
And you get your paper and you take a picture of it so you don't have to serve for six years.
I've got to tell you the best story ever.
Listen to this.
Jury room.
All of a sudden, this Chinese family showed up.
I mean, I can't tell numbers of people.
If it was 25 or 50, but it was a slew.
With this old man in the middle, and they're like surrounding him, like white blood cells surrounding this.
And they're protecting this man.
The patriarch, apparently.
And they walked up.
I don't think anybody spoke English.
I think one did, maybe sort of the younger kind of grant.
And the jury woman said, why are you here?
And they said, we want to support him.
I said, support him?
Let me see this.
He got a jury summits.
That means he was registered to vote or drove or whatever, I don't know.
He didn't speak any English.
The patriarch, the grandfather.
He said, what do you mean support him?
They thought he was in trouble.
They thought it was like it was a criminal charge.
They had no idea.
So they all came in to support him.
And the woman said, ladies and gentlemen, You're probably wondering what these people are, but isn't this great?
They all came to support him.
How about a bit, you know, get out.
They excused him, you know, forget it, you know.
Might have been the oldest trick in the book.
He might have walked outside and high-fived them, but I love the fact that they didn't know, but they showed up.
And we don't ever know.
I say, what about the people who don't show up?
I never signed my questionnaire.
I didn't, I just, you know, I didn't get the mail.
Really?
Whatever happens to them?
We don't know.
We don't know.
But you never get the chance to say, yes, excuse me.
Yes, excuse me.
Just want to let you know, I believe in incarcerating everybody for everything.
Thank you very much.
Have a seat.
Doesn't that get me out?
No.
Then if they call you, you're the Venire.
The Venire men.
V-E-N-I-R-E.
Venire.
I think it means to come.
You're the Van Iry, and you go into the room, and now you've got 50, let's say you're 25, and of that, they want to whittle it down to 6 or 12, whatever, and an alternate or two.
And you're sitting there.
Now it's 2 o 'clock, and you're wondering, when do I get to announce that I want to incarcerate everybody?
Nobody's asking you.
Nobody is asking you.
And they ask you, okay, Mr...
And this is the worst.
Mr...
Yes, Mr. Solomon, yes.
Is there any reason why you can't appear here?
Any reason?
Any reason?
And the first person...
And you know they're thinking, should I say the part about the...
I want everybody to be incarcerated?
Don't even try that.
We've heard this before.
Any reason why?
Well, nobody really doesn't.
Did I tell you my brother-in-law is a lawyer?
Yeah, that's great.
Anybody else?
And then somebody will say, look, I got a big problem.
I got a shop.
I'm the only one there.
I keep thinking about my shop, my business.
I can't keep my mind on this.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm not going to be...
Get out.
That's good.
That's almost for cause.
There's peremptory challenges where you can, you as the prosecutor or defense or the plaintiff or the defense, you can excuse a certain amount of jurors without giving any reason whatsoever.
Nobody knows why.
Number four.
Thank you, number four.
What happened?
Nothing.
Who did it?
One of these two guys.
Why?
They're not saying.
And then people will say, wow, that's good.
He gets up and there's that look.
You've got to see this.
There's that look on their face when they walk out.
Good luck, suckers!
And they leave.
And then you're saying, what do I do?
What do I do?
Yeah.
I have a cousin who's sick.
Are you taking care of him?
No.
But I'm going to be thinking about him a lot.
Yeah, nice try.
Sit down.
And these judges, I mean, they make Judge Judy look...
They're very good judges.
They've heard this before.
They've heard everything.
And they just want six people.
That's it.
And usually they settle.
Usually something is done because the whole purpose of the jury system is to push.
We'll go to trial if you want, unless you do what I say.
Okay, well fine.
We're not budging.
We're not budging either.
And then you're thinking, oh my God.
Look, will you take probation?
Probation and whatever.
An apology?
Alright, forget the call.
We got it.
Thank you.
Thank you for your service.
Here's your letter.
Get out.
Take a picture of your letter.
Or they'll settle for something.
The actual verdict?
That's something else.
But do you understand how beautiful that is?
Do you know that I have never been, I don't think anybody's ever seen inside of a jury room.
Isn't that something?
It's fantastic.
I would love, I would give anything to know what is it that they do.
What is it that they say?
Let me ask you a question.
Would you trust, if you had to go before a judge or a jury, which one would you go for?
You can waive a jury trial in some cases.
Let the judge do it.
What would you rather have?
A judge or a jury?
Answer my question.
Very simple question.
What would you have?
A judge or a jury?
Tell me.
What do you think?
What would you want?
Judge or jury?
Now the answer is Dick Long says jury.
Really?
You want a jury?
You want a jury?
You sure about that?
What's the case?
Depends.
Thank you, Judas.
What's the case?
What's the case?
What's your defense?
What's your prosecution?
Now remember, it's the defense who gets a chance.
Normally, the prosecution has to go along with it.
Prosecution says, can we have a judge on this one?
No, excuse me, that's not your call.
Think about it.
If you've got a real technical defense, something that's really something that would appeal to a lawyer but not a jury, you might want to go for a judge.
Something that kind of sort of says, you know, like, well, they didn't prove they won't be able to prove the The intention of why they entered the particular thing for a burglary charge or something where, you know, venue might be an issue or I don't know what.
You've got a real tough time in the case of any kind of defense like insanity, not guilty by reason of insanity, NGRI, sometimes.
Voluntary intoxication.
Whether you're arguing that the specific intent was not alleged.
Jury's not going to buy that.
The jury say, that dog don't hunt.
That dog don't hunt.
I think it's still the best system.
It's really good.
You know, people say, you know, we may not be the best, but by God, we're the best.
A lot of times, we don't really mean that.
Jury system is really, it's, I mean, I'm telling you.
That's the most important, and it's the most important job most people will ever have.
Seriously.
And, they don't tell you about this, but the jury nullification, if they say, okay guys, is that it?
Yeah.
Not guilty?
Yeah.
Okay.
Not guilty.
We don't like that guy.
We don't like your victim.
We don't like your prosecutor.
We like the jury.
You know what?
Forget it.
We connect with him.
We're going to find him not guilty.
You don't ever say that.
Even though the evidence of...
Guilt is overwhelming.
It's a jury nullification prerogative.
Sorry!
We don't think you proved it.
Come on.
That's our prerogative.
You told us to come...
Now, unless you're drawing by lot, throwing darts, bribery, some type of behavior which is extraneous to the system, you can impeach the verdict later on.
No.
That's the greatest thing in the world.
Sorry.
Sorry.
And I love that too.
Because that's where the people that's where the people really speak.
And I love when we speak.
You have no idea.
Put us together and let us speak.
And better yet, They listen to you.
I love the fact that they listen to you.
Do you understand this?

I don't know about you.
But the idea of emergency food in the event of some unforeseen, unbelieved, unanticipated problem is something that to me, well, shall we say, sells itself.
And this sells itself.
That's all I'm going to say.
It sells itself.
Are you able to say that yes, in the event of some kind of problem, if somebody were to seal my home up, I've got 90...
A three-month supply of food per occupant of the home, ready to go.
I don't need to go to stores.
I don't need anything.
It's all here available.
The answer is no.
Go to preparewithlionel.com, peruse the fair, and look at this.
Something with a 25-year shelf life.
Think about it.
You buy it once, that's it.
Your grandkids will be using it.
25 years.
2,000 calories a day.
Breakfast, lunches, dinners, drinks.
Whatever it is.
It makes the most sense in case of you name the particular calamity or disaster attendant thereto.
You understand this?
So my friends, there you have it.
PrepareWithLionel.com PrepareWithLionel.com And MyPillow.com promo code or backslash Lionel.
L-I-O-N-E-L Now, I want to tell you something.
The reason why I love this, the reason why I love, I love when juries get, now, it's not foolproof.
The jury can get the wrong charge.
The jury can get the, I don't know what it is, you can overcharge someone.
It's not foolproof.
But if you have that jury, they sit there, and if you can connect somehow with them, And give them that perfect idea where you tell that jury, I need you.
And think about what it is too.
What is a jury?
It's mini-politics.
It's a mini-election.
When you run for office and you say, I need you.
I need your vote.
But here's the deal.
The jury is one time.
These are the facts.
And you tell me, as a juror, be a trier of the fact.
Did we prove this?
Did they prove this?
Yes or no?
Did they?
Did they?
That's all I'm asking.
Did they?
Well, yeah.
Okay.
Because if they did, fine.
Did they?
That's it.
Goodbye.
As opposed to, a vote is, I want you to vote for me for county commission or mayor, whatever it is, and I have to do stuff for you.
After I'm in.
And then I'm most probably going to ask you to vote again for me.
To continue.
So it's a little bit different.
But the idea is that you get to vote.
I love that.
Do you ever see the vote going to AI?
Do you ever see it going to AI?
Do you?
Do you ever see artificial intelligence going?
Do you ever see it?
Ever?
What if somebody tells you, we have a much better system here.
We're going to remove the human interaction part of it.
We're going to put somebody involved here.
We're going to put someone in.
And something which is far better.
ChatGBT.
Perhaps some...
Artificial intelligence modality, something which is far better.
Would you want that?
Would you ever want there to be an AI elector, or not an elector, an elected official?
Somebody who says, this thing here, this artificial intelligence, this entity, knows the name of everyone in the Division.
Knows every fact that is pertinent.
Knows every budget.
This thing cannot be bribed, theoretically, cannot be affected by any kind, does not know, does not care about you or your race or your income or level of education.
It just...
No, we don't know.
Oh, and it learns.
And it will sit there and you say, today, we're going to start with this.
This AI unit voted no against this motorway or roadway because of the fact that, based upon the review of the budget, and if it gave you a reason.
But if you say, wait a minute, this is a reason.
You might say, you know what?
I like that.
Tell me, would you want an AI program?
An AI radiologist?
The reason why I ask this is I told you this.
I have a friend of mine who's a radiologist and he does mammograms.
And I said, what if I had a machine that looked at every mammogram ever recorded in the history of mammography?
Knew every sign of any kind of neoplasm or cancer there is was absolutely perfect in terms of its ability to act accordingly.
You don't think that would be better?
What would that do to your world?
What would it do to your business if you had this thing?
I said, you know what?
I don't know.
If I said, there it is.
If all of a sudden it goes and it comes to this mammogram and it's your wife or your mother or yours because men have breast cancer as well.
And it looks and says, wait a minute.
Let me see this.
I don't like to look at this.
Zooms in and then rifles through a million similar.
It says, you know what?
This has the markers.
Let me look even more.
Let me go like this.
And all within a second.
Yep.
That's suspect.
Or that's cancer.
Or that's okay.
Or that's clear.
And what if it's got a 99% accuracy?
You wouldn't want that?
Remember something.
Do not throw away artificial intelligence.
Do not throw this away.
Do not be one of these folks who says, no, I can never do anything good.
Why not?
Why not?
Sometimes it does a great job.
The problem is when we get to the notion of judgment.
And that's why I don't...
No, we can never have an artificial intelligence in terms of a jury because we need this level of input called humanity.
Or, as we used to say, humanity.
Okay, my friends, that's it.
