Good day.
I want you to think of something.
I want you to think of what would happen, what you would think, if you walked up to a house, kind of like we used to have sort of in the 60s and 70s.
And let's assume someone is there and they have a...
You hear sitar music in the background.
And maybe chanting.
And maybe somebody has those little finger symbols.
Ding, ding, you know.
And you smelled incense.
And you heard, I don't know.
Maybe, you know, Buddhist chanting or maybe some Ravi Shankar in the back.
Maybe some spa music sort of stuff.
You would hear wind chimes, the smell of incense and oils and throw pillows and dashikis and jalebas and, right?
Pillows, people sitting around.
Maybe imbibing in something artificial to expand the mind?
What would you think?
What would you think?
Be honest.
What if you met somebody who said they were into astrology?
They were into crystals?
What if you met somebody who said they were into channeling, media, psychics?
Telekinesis.
Faith healing.
Herbs.
Herbalism.
Aromatherapy.
Rolfing.
Yoga.
Massage.
What would you think?
What would you think?
What would you think about it?
Be honest.
And answer, answer, answer honestly.
Don't immediately have to come up with something funny, something cute.
I've got to say something funny.
I've got to be funny.
I've got to quip.
I've got to say something.
I have to say, I have to...
Because I'm a little nervous over this subject.
I don't know, but I'm kind of like the smart aleck.
I have to say something.
I have to...
Last night, Mrs. Allen and I had a wonderful time.
She did.
We had a wonderful event.
I'm not going to say where.
I don't know if I should.
I'm not going to say it.
We spoke...
It was the Warriors, Lynn's Warriors.
I, of course, am in charge of...
Transportation, chauffeuring, and security.
And we met with a wonderful, wonderful group on Long Island.
I don't want to go into detail, but it was the most wonderful thing.
A purely, completely total service organization that had nothing in it involved nothing but how can we help?
It was beautiful.
I mean, it was beautiful.
Don't you think?
It wasn't about me.
I felt redeemed.
I felt redeemed.
It was 100%.
There was so much good still in the earth.
On the earth.
And in the earth, I guess.
So I ran into this woman.
And we were talking.
She says, you know, I'm really into astrology.
I said, you know what?
I said, I don't know anything about it.
I don't know anything about it.
I don't know the basics behind it, the background behind it.
And you could tell she says, well, I said, and you know what else I, and I did this on purpose, I said, you know what else drives me crazy is when people will poo-poo it without knowing anything about it.
Sound familiar?
I said, how can I say something?
How can I say something to you?
I'll never forget when I was in...
In Israel, at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
This is the site of Jesus' tomb.
And, according to them, this is the site of the crucifixion.
I mean, the Via Dolorosa, where Christ walked with the cross.
I mean, it's right there.
And to go into this place, I mean, I don't care what you say.
I don't care.
What you believe.
I don't care if you're an atheist, a Jew, a Muslim, Buddhist.
No, I don't care.
Something was there.
Something was there.
Something.
Something.
You were horripilating.
You know, horripilating is a great word.
Little hairs.
Goosebumps.
Something was weird.
Might have been the reaction of the people.
Might have been a lot of things.
But instead of defining what it was, and instead of trying our best to immediately dismiss it as something, I was just observing.
I felt it.
I felt it.
And you've got to realize there are things you feel.
You've got to feel there are things you feel.
It's just very, very...
Don't come up with the answer yet.
Don't come up with an answer.
When you see two, a little boy and a little girl, and he, little boy, is evincing, showing you the first vestigial parts of...
Romantic attraction where he gets to the age.
You don't know what that is.
It's prepubescent where he realizes there's something different here.
Don't let that moment go by without recognizing what that is.
He doesn't know what it is.
How come this girl, this little girl who before was kind of like a pain in the neck, Now, I don't know.
They look different now.
You ever seen this?
It's fascinating.
You might have remembered this.
And you can't, and please don't explain this.
Don't explain this.
You know this guy, Guy Fieri?
Diners, Dive-In...
Ming Tsai.
They always have to say, I like the bite.
I like the mouthfeel.
Would you stop it?
Stop it.
I like the back of the mouth.
Okay, I'm feeling, I'm feeling, I'm tasting cardamom.
Is it, is it, I like the mouthfeel.
I like the texture.
I like the, stop it.
You're missing it.
Just, just experience it.
Don't describe it.
Just experience it.
Just some things do not lend themselves to explication, to limbing, L-A-M-N, to explaining.
Birth.
Birth of a child.
Your child.
It is unlocking generation and generation and generation and millennia.
And millions of years of atavistic, primordial, primeval, DNA wound.
You are reacting in ways.
Limbic system, fight or flight, mammalian reflex.
Oh my God!
My God!
Don't let the moment go by.
Don't answer it.
Don't analyze it.
Feel it.
Just listen.
Listen to yourself.
Listen to what's going on.
When you hear music, don't try to say, is this country?
Would you call this country?
Would you call this roots rock?
Would this be old country?
Would this be Americana?
Would this be folk?
Would this be neo?
Shut up!
Listen to it!
So as we're talking last night, this very nice woman says, very accomplished.
I'm into astrology.
I'm into, and she's kind of filling me out because she wants to see if I think it's crazy.
I'm also into crystals, and I'm studying this.
Really?
I said, you know, I would love to.
Can you tell me a basis, something that explains to me the kind of a primer I can do?
We can explain this?
Let me tell you what's going to happen right now.
We are this close to doing it.
I want you to imagine something.
I want you to imagine this is my...
This is your brain.
This is your brain on bacon.
On eggs.
Anyway, this is your brain.
And all your life, there are so many parts to it.
Yes, there's the neurophysiological...
I understand that.
There's limbic...
You've got the various, you know, the corpus callosum and the parietal this and the...
And the cingulate and the basal ganglia and all that stuff.
It's wonderful.
Great.
We can point to it.
But this is hardware.
The software is the interesting part.
The operating system.
The program.
This is neurology.
This is neurology.
Alzheimer's, stroke, Parkinson's, something wrong with the hardware, your computer.
But the software is psychiatry and the spiritual.
Call it what you want.
Give it a name.
Spiritual, religious, whatever.
That's the part that's interesting.
No other animal does it.
None.
It doesn't make us better, by the way.
I think sometimes it makes us worse because it confounds us.
And very soon, you're going to find out that here, this is your brain, but this other part, this kind of a weird floating consciousness part, that's the part that's locked in and locked up.
And screwed up.
And that's a kilter.
And that's the part we've got to get to.
Not this.
This.
This.
It's like the way out of quantum mechanics they say that electrons are in basically fields where you approximate.
It's Schrodinger's cat.
We can approximate maybe sort of where it is.
We don't really know.
We have a probability.
I love that stuff.
Oh, quantum.
If you want to get, you want to put on the sitar music, listen to quantum and string theory and oh my god, the electron sprays and what is going on?
Eleven dimensions.
And we are this close to finding substances.
We are this close to saying we know ways to unlock, kind of like a hack.
There's a hack.
To get from this into this part.
And it might be through chemicals.
It might be through herbs.
It might be through psychotropics.
It might be through hallucinogens.
It might be through plants.
It might be through therapy.
It might be through astrology, through channeling, through groups, through this, through whatever it is.
But it is this crossing the causeway, going over the bridge into that part.
The part of you that has been kept shut down and shut up and closed tight since you were traumatized.
Maybe.
Maybe as a child.
Maybe.
Feelings you have about love.
Feelings you have about you.
Because you're never allowed to get to it during the day.
Because during the day you're walking like this.
Right now you say, I've got to be at the doctor's office.
I've got to pick up little Becky.
I've got to go here.
I've got to tax it.
I've got to file this.
I'm hungry.
Where are we going to go?
You never have time to sit back and...
Never.
Never.
Maybe a little bit.
Maybe if you're driving.
Maybe.
You never do.
There's no meditation.
Meditation works terrible on me.
horrible horrible it oh horrible I can do it maybe through something else, but I cannot sit there and just can't do it.
That's my problem.
Maybe I can find it.
But one day, you're going to go to a doctor and your insurance is going to cover and you're going to go to a doctor so-and-so.
And this doctor is going to be able to say, I'm here with you.
We've got all kinds of, you know, resuscitative machinery in case you...
Maybe this little trip goes off.
We're going to put on some magic carpet ride for you.
And whenever you talk about psychedelics and psychotropics and whatever it is, it always has this kind of a sitar music and it's some guy with a beret named Ace, you know, some weird kind of...
In the old days, there was the jazz beatnik, then there was the hippie, then there was Timothy Leary, and then you have the worst proponents trying to explain it.
And now you have people who are, again, the worst proponents who are...
With all due respect, I love him to death.
I respect him.
Joe Rogan, some guy with a goatee explaining licking the back of a frog and going into...
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not it.
That's...
Sorry.
No, no, no.
We are this close to tapping into them.
And all along, since the beginning of mankind, since the beginning that we first walked...
This planet, we've been realizing and trying to connect with this higher consciousness, whatever you want to call it.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
Give it a name.
Give it a name.
Whatever you feel comfortable with.
Call it religion.
Call it God.
Call it this.
Call it an energetic.
I don't care.
I feel kind of in a higher being.
Maybe there's something else, a supernatural kind of, whatever.
But it's there.
It's there.
Now I want you to stop for a second.
Stop just a second.
This is important.
Because I didn't tell you this, but you have to subscribe to this.
You have to subscribe to this channel.
There's nothing like it.
And the reason why is I don't treat you like a child.
I don't treat you like a...
This isn't a bit.
I'm not trying to imitate anybody else.
Believe me when I tell you this.
I don't want to imitate anybody else.
I'm not trying to.
Social media is a great place for followers.
I don't want to be there.
That's number one.
Now, before we begin, I want to talk about...
So please, subscribe to this, of course, like this video.
I want to talk to you about something else which is also kind of neat and spiritual and all this, and that is your regular health.
And right now, here's something really groovy.
Think about this.
This is really, really, really groovy.
Right now, I want you to go to my custom URL for ZStack because I told you, our dear friend is still wiped out.

I could talk forever about vitamin D. Vitamin D is unbelievable.
By the way, If you are plant-based, if you are plant-based, one of the things which I absolutely cannot tell you enough, plant-based or vegan, you have to supplement with B12.
Have to.
Nobody else does.
You really don't.
If you're eating regular meat and whatever it is, in the old days it was great when we had the bacteria and the ground water and all that.
Vegans have to.
You can go into serious neurological Problems.
It takes a while.
So B12, I have to.
Very simple.
Once a week.
That's it.
Supplementation is critical.

I met people who get into the whole health thing too.
Health and...
And sometimes you say, you know this?
I'm doubling up on my...
Okay, fine.
The thing about food, by the way, takes you a long time.
Takes you a long time.
It's not like you, hey, I had kale today.
That's nice.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
Well, it's not just once.
It's forever.
It's forever.
Little things you can do.
By the way, I can't emphasize enough, depending upon who you are, but there's a lot you can do.
There's a lot of stuff that won't hurt you, but is redundant.
And I can't tell you which one that is.
That's up to you.
So anyway, ZStack is terrific.
Please, please, please, please, please.
And also, I want to say to our dear friends, at MyPatriotSupply, the response has been incredible.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, if you're looking around right now, I don't care what religion, what political party you're in, and you don't see what has happened to the world of food, how precarious food is, not just making it.
Not just ensuring its goodness, but getting it to you.
The slightest little hiccup.
And when things go bad, look at the reaction you're getting.
People say, well, my Patriot Supply is there.
And if you go to preparewithlino.com, this is not extreme, my friends.
You might have never thought about this.
Food, really?
Yeah.
I don't know why.
People have a difficult time with that.
They think it's kind of nutty.
Isn't that a bit extreme?
No.
Not at all.
Now, how many Buddhists here?
How many Buddhists?
How many Buddhists are here?
How many understand the whole notion of chanting?
About putting yourself into another...
When I was talking to this woman last night, I said, let me tell you what I want people to believe in.
First and foremost, everybody has got to sit back and just relax and listen.
I want you to do yourself a favor.
The part of your mind that immediately reacts to something, turn it off.
Listen.
Listen.
in.
Listen.
Listen to what's going on.
Just listen.
Listen to somebody.
Don't immediately say, well, that's crazy.
Oh, I don't believe in that.
That's contrary to what else.
Stop it.
When you see human beings travel, if it's the Hajj or if it's who make a trek to walk in a circle because of some belief system, if you think If you have the mindset like we used to, that that is crazy, that that is mythological, you're missing the point completely.
Completely.
Have you ever read Annie Jacobson about how our government and other governments have gone into astral projection to I'm not that familiar with it, but being able to see to visions and finding things, psychics.
I want to give you an analogy of something.
And I want you to listen to what I'm doing.
I'm just taking this in.
I am not making any kind of diagnosis as to the legitimacy of anything.
I'm not.
But I want you to imagine something.
Imagine that this is a radio.
An actual radio.
Remember a transistor radio.
A little headphone thing.
And you have that extendable antenna.
But this was a radio.
And you could hear the...
And you could tell if it's raining.
At least in fall.
We could tell, hey, rain's coming.
I can hear the lightning.
I can hear the lightning.
Now, if you didn't have a radio...
You'd swear there's no radio waves.
You'd swear.
You'd say, what are you talking about?
Radio?
Radio what?
Radio waves?
There's no such thing as radio waves.
Yes, there is.
No, there's not.
Yes, there is.
No, there's not.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I can hear it.
I know what's going on.
I know.
There are people I know who believe that things are called...
And also, sometimes you have to understand...
What it is that you feel and what it's called.
One time is it more and more people who are empathic.
People who are empathic.
People who feel things.
Now, sometimes I have met people who, and this might be a violation of my rule, who I think kind of get a kick out of the fact that they are open and maybe sometimes they don't know when to say, well, I don't know if I want to feel that.
I know I can read people.
I know I can read a room.
I know what happens to me when I'm in front of a crowd.
I know it.
I can't give you this feeling.
How anybody can be afraid.
You should see Mrs. L talk to a group.
It's incredible.
Talking to a jury, talking to people.
Something happens to me.
Something happens to me.
I don't know what it is.
It's...
Um...
I guess it's performance.
See, again, I'm just telling you how it feels.
I don't know what it is.
But I love it.
And I love to look at people.
And all of a sudden, they're one person.
They become one.
And there's nothing that I love greater than this.
When people do that, they don't even realize they're doing it.
And when you look at somebody, I like to read somebody.
I can tell immediately.
Do they like you?
And if you can make somebody laugh, not laugh, like ha ha ha, but I mean just it does something that again, I'd be telling somebody from another planet, watch what I do.
Watch what I do.
This is a way we communicate.
Some people just don't do it.
They have no ability.
None.
So for years, people have realized they've talked about astrology.
They've talked about Crystals.
They've talked about chanting.
They've talked about chakras.
They've talked about even people in martial arts.
People who whatever it is.
People in churches.
There is a movement.
There was something that was reported.
I think you saw this.
It's called Asbury University.
They're praying on TikTok.
A non-stop Kentucky prayer revival is going on.
And there are, and it's apparently, this is from Yahoo News, a Christian service at a college chapel in Kentucky has ballooned into a non-stop prayer and worship session that some are calling a revival, quote-unquote.
And people are traveling thousands of miles to take part in it after seeing viral videos.
And what do you think that is?
What do you think that is?
Stop!
I'm violating my own rule.
Since the beginning of time, Since the beginning of time.
Whenever you see migratory, look at any, any, any group of people, any animal, migratory.
What does that mean?
I told you I love murmurations.
I love starlings.
I love watching birds.
I love this.
I have studied this.
I have read about it.
The rule of seven.
University of Pennsylvania?
No, oh no, a Princeton ethologist or somebody came up with the notion of how do they do this?
How do they do this?
Why do they do this?
Why do the group, the group, the psychology, Gustave Le Bon, the idea of you losing your own individual sense of self, but now I'm a part of a group.
I'm migratory.
Let's all go.
We're moving en masse.
Let's do it.
Why do you think that is?
The Hajj.
I love that.
Why are they doing this?
They feel it.
It's not just culture.
It's not just like, well, I was raised like that.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's beyond that.
It's beyond.
There are things that we do.
Now, listen carefully.
Are you listening?
Listen to me.
There is a...
I don't want to say a dark force.
It's not a deliberate force.
But the timorous, the scared, the unenlightened, the unmotivated, the...
I don't know what you want to call it.
They don't like this.
They don't like something they don't understand.
They might view it as antithetical to their own particular religious system.
And they might think it's somehow...
Heretical?
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
They will respond negatively.
And we are seeing this right now.
In particular, right now, we're seeing this more with people talking about, for the first time, aliens.
They're talking about this.
And I'm listening to it, and I'm thinking...
And that's where you start.
Some people...
Love to show their bona fides.
They love to show their coolness by saying, I don't believe in that.
I'm sorry.
Nobody has said they've seen anything.
Nobody has said they've seen somebody driving by in a balloon.
How are you?
You know, some little critter, some green.
And people are going out of their way to say, oh, I don't believe in that.
Really?
Yes, don't think that.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Why are you doing that?
I don't know.
I don't believe in that.
Is anybody saying that?
Well, I don't know.
Who's talking about that?
I don't know.
We're talking about this thing.
I think if you have a weather balloon, call me crazy, and I can't speak for the entire universe, but I don't think that's the kind of technology that...
Imagine me sitting with somebody from another dimension.
Guess what?
Do you guys use balloons?
Who?
Balloons.
What's a balloon?
You know, a balloon.
What?
I got something for you.
Watch this.
This is a machine.
And I'm going to show you what happens when I warp space-time.
Watch this.
I want to balloon up.
Up and away!
Alright, I don't want to go with it.
But you see where we're going with this?
Now somewhere, I've got to step back and say, alright, alright, alright.
I'll let them talk because people love to disavow.
Stop.
We don't have time for that.
Open your mind.
Just look.
Look at all that's going on and some of the stuff that just...
I can't go to a cemetery.
Without feeling this sense of, look at this.
You have no idea.
I don't get it.
I understand it.
I understand we do this, but I'm thinking, look at this.
Look at what we do.
Look at this.
And it's not silly.
It's been like this since the beginning of time.
Since Egypt, prior to that.
The notion of the cessation of life and the ceremony of it.
Look at this.
It's fascinating.
And you take it for granted.
Hear bells on a Sunday.
What does this mean?
It's fascinating.
Look.
Look at us.
And then you'll see somebody.
I find this so interesting.
This is the most interesting of everything.
Don't ask me how I get into this.
Don't ask me how I find it.
But it's that weird pachinko called YouTube.
All of a sudden I say, hey, I'm into bread baking.
I don't make bread, but I love the history of it.
I'm into AA.
Not me personally, but the concept of it.
Individual.
Thousand points of light.
Individual.
Citizen.
Groups of people saying, we've got to talk about this.
There is something.
We are just...
Something is happening and I think we know how we can deal with it.
It's like humans realizing this substance, this stuff, it's whoa!
What is this?
How did that unlock something?
Isn't that interesting?
Isn't that interesting?
How does this...
You can drink this stuff, and it's okay.
And me?
But we're going to get together, and we're going to work together on this.
We're going to help each other, and we're going to talk, and we're going to...
And then the people come along, and they go, oh, it's not very effective.
It's not very effective.
Well, what else?
Do you have any other suggestions?
Well, I don't know.
It's not very effective.
It's only 5% effective.
And then you get the skeptics who come in.
Remember the Penn and Teller type?
You go, that doesn't sound effective.
Wait a minute.
This is the most beautiful thing in the world.
They're all meeting.
There's no government behind this.
They're just doing it.
It's all over the world.
Isn't that great?
Again, what is it?
Migratory.
It's almost that.
And in a way, it's spiritual.
It's this thing.
Oh, yeah.
It's great.
Then last night, I'm listening to this, and there are all these wonderful, happen to be a bunch of women, We're part of an organization, and all they did was talk about how they were going to help.
I didn't see one selfie in the group.
I didn't see one.
Nothing.
It was all about this, and you're going to do this, and then we've got this, and then we've got the clothing drive, and then we're going to have the scholarships, and we're going to do this.
I'm thinking to myself, this is beautiful.
This is beautiful.
It's great.
I'm serious.
My sense of humanity.
It was spiritual.
This is great.
There is good in the world.
There is good.
Turn on the TV.
There just...
There is good.
There is good.
Imagine somebody coming into your house and you open the door and you have two people and somebody says, this is beautiful.
Did you decorate this?
Yes, I did.
And somebody says, excuse me.
And they go under your bed and they take a pen light and they turn and go, look at this dust.
I say, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
You call this clean?
Oh my God.
That's what you look at?
Well, that's kind of the way we look at the world.
What are you looking at?
We're looking at always the dust.
We're looking at the dirt all the time.
Everywhere.
Is there anything good?
Yes.
Yes!
Now, don't get too much.
Don't get, don't, don't lose perspective because somebody could say, you know what?
Guess what?
Underneath the bed, clean as a whistle.
And you could say, yeah, but the house is a hovel.
Well, it's true.
Have you met somebody, have you ever met somebody with OCD?
Truly OCD.
Have you ever met somebody with that?
True, true, true OCD.
It is one of the most fascinating things you can ever imagine.
And it is one of the three characteristics of Tourette's.
Did you know that?
People have this idea about Tourette's.
Tourette's is fascinating.
Coprolalia, number three, that's saying things that are inappropriate.
Ticks are probably number one, but number two is OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and The search for order.
Let me stop right there.
Just a second.
Because my order has to be this.
Now, I don't want to tell you again, but you have been responding most brilliantly to the notion of the electromagnetic pulse.
Now, I think this is really interesting.
You want to talk about chakras and energy and nothing like that.

Oh, the power.
The power of nature and the like.
And then, whenever you talk about this, our dear friends, our dear friends at MyPillow.
You know what's funny about that?
Americans have this idea about sleeping and napping.
Do you get enough sleep?
Probably not.
Do you get enough quality sleep?
Probably not.
Do you know how important sleep is?
Like you cannot believe.
And by the way, did you see this MyPillow 2.0?
Buy one, get one free.
The overstock sale.
Sleeping.
Do you know, is there anyone here right now, seriously, who suffers from insomnia?
And by the way, you can sleep for hours on end.
You can sleep for a long period of time.
But you can not have quality sleep.
Sleeping is so critical, so important.
But we always think it's a sign of weakness or something.
Like, what are you doing?
There's one comedian who goes, naps?
We never took a nap.
Is that good?
It's not napping.
It's not because you're lazy.
The idea of sleep as restorative?
Do you know what happens when you sleep?
They still don't know.
They still don't know.
They have an idea.
Why do some animals sleep?
Some don't.
Who knows?
But all I know is that when sleep goes wrong, it's not good.

It's like one of those things where I don't have to tell you Frankly, pillows.
Pillows.
There is nothing worse than a bad pillow.
Where you're trying and it's just...
You've been in maybe like a hotel or something and you think, oh my god, there's nothing.
Anyway.
Critical stuff.
It's spiritualmypillow.com mypillow.com promo code Lionel.
Okay?
Okay.
I'm not done with this.
I want to go back to one thing.
It's very difficult for you to unlearn everything you've learned.
I'm going to tell you this.
It's very difficult.
People are telling you constantly about everything from history to politics to what's going on to whatever.
And I luckily realized that the secret of my sanity, I use that term advisedly, but the secret is that I don't have to deal with a lot of people.
I don't.
I don't have to argue with people because it's very easy for me to say, you know, get away from people.
Don't spend time.
But there is nothing about our society or culture that promotes just opening your mind.
I have a friend of mine who has been forever affected by Jacques Fresco.
Have you heard of Jacques Fresco?
I don't know.
He's a philosopher.
He was an inventor.
Brilliant!
You ever heard of Alan Watt?
You ever heard of just People Speak?
And I love sometimes when Victor Davis Hanson, who, by the way, is very, very good, who gives us an historical perspective of something.
History is an amazing thing because it tells you things that are different.
It tells you a little bit about this is nothing new.
This is nothing new.
This is nothing new.
And there's a lot of people.
So all day long, I find that it's so interesting for me to find the right people.
And believe it or not, believe it or not, with a phone and YouTube, you can dial into, you can just be listening to somebody.
And listen to somebody talk about something you never thought about before.
I was listening the other day to a lecture, a debate on Napoleon.
I had no idea.
Now, if you'd told me this when I was 17 years old, I'm going to say, Napoleon?
I don't have time for Napoleon.
What does Napoleon have to do with me now?
I'm 17 years old, I'm going to get out of here.
That's the way I thought that.
Now, what does Napoleon have to do?
Everything.
Why are people doing this?
Why is that important?
Do you think censorship today?
This is my favorite.
This is my favorite.
I love this.
Comedy today is under attack.
Really?
You think?
Oh, yes.
Because we comedians are the fourth and fifth estate.
We're the vanguard.
We're under attack because we...
Sit down, Sparky.
I don't know where you've been, but I appreciate your excitement, but you just don't get it.
You don't get it.
My friend, have you ever heard of this guy named Oscar Wilde?
Can we go back a little bit?
The whole notion of somebody saying, stop.
Alan Turing, not exactly a comedian.
Do you know what?
Lenny Bruce, do you remember what happened with him?
There's one particular picture of Lenny Bruce with George Carlin in the background and George Carlin and Mort Sahl and everybody else.
Do you know what happens?
Do you know how this thing works?
Do you understand that what you are saying is the oldest argument maybe that mankind has ever produced and that is that there is this Everybody feels like censorship, like I can't see this.
And we used to say politically incorrect, politically correct.
And this is the oldest.
When you immerse yourself just in a second, because everybody thinks they've just defined something.
They've just defined it.
Really?
Yes.
Oh my God.
The health, the kids today.
At the turn of the 20th century, I remember reading something that says that the The median age, wife expectancy, was like 40?
In this country!
Wait a minute, what?
What?
Yeah.
Oh my God, I didn't know that.
Oh yeah, gives you perspective.
Things are very good, depending upon how you look.
You're looking underneath the bed, I'm looking over here.
Things are very, very good.
Let me ask you a question.
I'm going to ask you a question.
Can you tell me if this defines you?
Okay?
I'm going to ask you a question.
Either yes, the number one, or two, for no.
And let me ask the question.
There's a little bit of a lag here, so let me ask the question.
This is very important.
Do you feel most happy?
Do you feel most at home when you are complaining versus when you are describing how wonderful something is?
Do you like to complain more?
Then you do point out how good things are.
Not that you're negative.
No, no, no.
Do you like to complain?
Are you a pathologist who says, ah, found something.
Right here.
Something's wrong.
Are you a radiologist?
Ah, broken.
Broken.
Pregnant.
You know, not that that's bad.
Do you like that?
Do you like finding something wrong?
Would you rather be, would you rather write something that says, This is what's wrong with our country.
This is what's wrong with the people.
Or would you rather go out and say, you know what?
Aren't we a wonderful country, lot, group, people?
Do you think that being positive is pie in the sky?
Do you think that that's just, that that diverts attention?
Do you think that?
Do you think that makes people feel like, you know, you shouldn't, you know, you're always talking about how great everything is?
We've got a lot of problems here.
If you turn into your favorite news show, and then they say, well, today it was wonderful.
Today there was a voting sign-up, a voting whatever thing that happened, and voter registration was up to 20-10%.
And this is the story of a man who, you know those stories where you'll see like two African American young men or three, they're at a, it almost makes me cry to say this, they're at a restaurant, and they notice this woman or a man by themselves, and he has a picture, and they walk over and say, excuse me, this is all this story.
And again, people say, do you believe that story?
I say, yes, I believe the story.
And they walk over and they say, We notice you're by yourself.
Do you mind if we sit with you?
I would love to.
So you have these three teenage black guys with this old white lady, and you would think they would have nothing in common, but they do.
And they become friends and whatever.
Isn't that wonderful?
Isn't that wonderful?
Did you ever see that on TV?
No.
Why?
I don't know why.
There is one...
Where is this?
This one...
YouTube, that is so beautiful.
Oh my god, it just kills me.
Ah, it's called The Dodo.
13 million subscribers.
Here's one.
Growling street puppy falls in love with the person she didn't trust.
And it's about dogs and cats and how a baby, this...
This family has a Cane Corso, one of these monster breeds, and this little baby, and they thought, I don't know if this is going to be safe to have the baby around this, this dog that was bred to, to, you know, take on wolves, and the baby's, you know, grabbing it, and the dog loves it, and it just, I watch these, and I think, this is beautiful, this is beautiful.
Animals.
It's just the most beautiful thing in the world.
And you feel your heart.
Nobody talks about that.
It's not going to be on TV.
Who wants to talk about that?
Why not?
Because I'm going to look underneath the bed.
I'm going to say, dust here.
Look at the way we look at things.
I'm not saying you do it all the time.
You don't want to talk about puppies and balloons.
No balloons.
Forget balloons.
You know, parties at HaHa.
But, my God!
There are so many people out there, and I'm going to go back to what I said.
There are people who have suffered from PTSD.
People have been through trauma.
People have been through abuse.
People have been through loss.
And one of these days, you are going to be able to go to a doctor.
And years ago, I remember reading about MDMA, which is ecstasy.
And there was a couple that had a terrible time.
Their marriage was on the skids.
And they spent, this is according to the story, they sent their kids to the in-laws, they locked themselves in, and they took a dose of MDMA, and they said they talked in a way, with an honesty, accessing parts of their brain and their consciousness that they never thought even remotely possible.
And it changed everything.
That's going to be the case here.
We're going to see people ravaged by PTSD who are going to be using hallucinogens and chemicals and psilocybin and all kinds of other things under the care of a doctor, not destroyed, but obviously in case, because sometimes it's not good.
You can dose.
There are micro dosings.
I don't know.
I have an absolute dread.
Over the complexity of the brain being tampered with by somebody who thinks everything is okay.
That's why it's not.
There's a very serious balance here.
But one day when I feel comfortable, if I feel like, you know what, this has been perfected and I get some first-hand accounts, absolutely.
Absolutely.
There's an old expression, reality is no match for chemistry.
And the thing that is affecting people the most, oftentimes, are neurochemical imbalances, things that can open up levels of consciousness, which people have been talking about since the beginning of time.
Some valid, some not, some fraudulent, some not.
But we are this far away from it.
And I have a feeling that people, invariably, On some particular platforms that are deemed to be more, I don't want to use the word conservative, are going to poo-poo this because this is contrary to accepted behavior.
And they'll make, of course, jokes about it being hippie-ish and that sort of thing.
We have to open our minds.
We are in search of a higher consciousness.
And the first thing that we have to do is listen to people.
Just listen to what they say.
Don't think of the punchline.
I see some of you and I love you, but you're always trying to diagnose something.
You're always trying to explain why.
Well, the reason why is because, you see, the level of consciousness that we're prepared to do is not because of the fact that we have been...
Stop it.
Stop it.
Just listen.
Just listen.
Don't...
We don't need your quip.
Listen to what they're saying.
And ask a question.
How does this work?
How does this...
Why do you do that?
How do you do this?
How long have you done this?
Where did you learn about this?
Do other people in your family ask questions?
The questions you'll actually learn something.
Somebody said, Larry King says, you know, you don't ever learn anything if you're doing the talking.
No, Larry, you do if you're asking questions.
Because the questions are the most interesting.
And it's...
It will solve so much of our problem.
And it will destroy a lot of communication media because sometimes you don't have a lot of deep thinking and there's no time for deep thinking and you want ha ha ha.
Like I said last night, I didn't see a selfie once.
This It is the scariest thing.
Not to document something.
This is a, hey, we're at Grandpa's birthday.
Smile, everybody.
That's one thing.
But when you're sitting in a restaurant and there is a woman sitting in a bar making that paralytic duck look by herself, this is a level of Depravity.
I mean, dear God.
There's that.
Now, let me see something.
Your comments are wonderful.
Your thoughts are wonderful.
I'm going to leave that up.
I want to thank you for that.
Thank you for your input and the like.
Again, Mrs. L and I had such an incredible time last night.
I don't want to mention Mary because I just don't trust people.
Sorry to say this, but it was terrific.
This is my Twitter channel, my Twitter feed, if you find it interesting.
I ask you to do so.
Mrs. L as well.
She's on a frequency few people have.
And that's the truth.
And I know that sounds a bit odd, but it's true.
She is on a frequency and on a level of concern that most people in our neck of the woods do not particularly care about.
This is her YouTube channel.
Please watch this.
Just listen to this.
This is so interesting.
Again, it deals with something you probably have not thought of in a long time.
So anyway, my friends, I wish you the best.
I wish you greatness.
Open your mind.
Open everything.
Open your mind.
Just make sure, make sure this is, I know this sounds a bit odd, make sure today, and I mean this, make sure you just say, I'm going to ask more questions.
I'm going to look at, I'm going to investigate something I never even thought.
I'd be interested in.
Ever.
I'm just going to watch this.
And once you do it a couple of times, you realize, this is fantastic.
You will see things, if you look around this, all of a sudden, for the first time, they did more, but they're still around here.
In New York, in the city, there are barbershops, all old-fashioned barbershops, popping up with levels of cutting, and it's so interesting.
How just that.
There's wonderful videos on YouTube of homeless people who have been cleaned up and given haircuts and it changes the way they think and it changes the way they look about stuff.
There's so much interesting.
Look at the amount of attention we spend regarding just cutting hair.
It's fascinating.
It's so interesting.
So interesting.
The amount of time that we spend in Coloring hair.
What a business!
What a business!
Just coloring it.
I don't like that color.
I don't like that color because it makes me look old.
It does?
Yes, it does.
It's got gray in there.
I don't like this.
We saw somebody yesterday who all of a sudden went from looking, he's in his 80s, to having jet black hair.
It was the weirdest thing.
I'm thinking, why don't you just have a big, like put on, like a clown.
I have jet black black hair.
Black.
Jet black.
Remember the old Buddy Rich toops?
Remember towards the end of his life, Buddy Rich?
Oh dear God.
Oh dear God, what happens?
Please.
Please.
That fascinates me.
Why do they do that?
Why do they do that?
I could go...
I could just...
Do you think that I think that you...
Do you?
Do you think that I think that that's not died?
No.
Why'd you do it?
Isn't the idea of camouflage...
I did a commercial one time for a hair...
This is on regular radio.
Hair replacement.
And I said, here's the question.
Ask yourself this.
If you robbed a bank, if you robbed a bank, how would they describe you?
5 '10", 180 pounds with a tube.
If they say that, it's not working.
Their phones rang more because the idea of a dupe is You have to confuse people.
Al Pacino?
What is that thing?
Mick Jagger?
I don't know whether they are.
But you don't normally see 80, 83, 80-year-old, 90-year-old men with long hair.
I just don't.
It's okay.
But those are the good ones.
You want to have a toupee.
There's one guy, I'm not going to mention his name, who has toupees where the hair gets longer.
And it looks like, oh, I gotta get a...
It's like the old Rob Petrie.
Remember that one?
Alan Brady?
Anyway, I'm talking gibberish now.
But you love that.
And that's the way it goes.
Alright, my friends.
Have a great Nicholas Day.
See you tomorrow.
Remember, higher consciousness.
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.
