I have a couple of questions.
First, have you done any Zooms lately where you're looking at people who...
Themselves have not necessarily done Zooms that often.
And their face is like up to the camera.
Or they're too low and they're looking up.
They're not centered.
Have you ever wondered why somebody has not figured out...
Maybe if I kind of adjust my camera instead of me being in the lower right corner, just the top of my head.
Have you ever wondered about that?
And if somebody...
Has not been able to figure this out through their life.
How did they get this far in the first place?
Have you ever wondered, where is the band that plays the music on hold?
Now, it's an old story.
It's an old joke.
The worst is GoDaddy, if you've ever heard of this.
They played three things.
They played this.
One is Down by the Riverside.
Down by the Riverside.
This is kind of a rinky-dink piano.
It's...
Horrid.
And if you prefer to listen without music, press...
Don't understand this.
Your call means a lot to us.
No, it doesn't.
Have you noticed when you call, sometimes it's great to hear, and I like this, sometimes you will call and you hear a baby in the background because they're outsourcing this, and they're very good.
They're very, very, very, very good.
I don't really care.
I kind of like that.
I like the fact that there's a mother with a baby.
It endears me to the service.
I don't know if you've noticed that.
Sometimes there are countries or perhaps customs where there is a very, very almost an officious kind of a saccharine kind of overly what's the word?
Almost like bereavement.
Oh, we're so sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
How are you doing?
Can I...
I gotta get a new debit card.
My little chip broke.
Oh, I'm so sorry that you've had two...
Yeah, yeah.
So it's just a debit card.
No problem.
And I can certainly understand.
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
Yeah, I understand.
Could you send me a new debit card?
And at times of loss...
Look, there's no loss here.
It's a debit card.
That's all it is.
There's no...
Don't get crazy about it.
It's just a debit card.
Could you send the debit card?
We have...
Look!
It's not a death.
The other day I walked into a bank and there was a little...
I don't want to say little girl.
It was a young woman.
Very nice.
She might have been...
She might have been four feet tall.
I felt like Lew Alcindor.
I walked in there.
So this fellow came up, this young man, can I help you please?
I said, yes.
I said, by the way, this is the security?
She's very sweet.
I said, that's not what you want in security.
Think Pitbull, think Rottweiler, Connie Corso.
Dogo, Argentina.
You know what I mean?
Something scary.
Oh, yeah.
I said, well, what does this security mean?
So I'm getting into this existential thing.
I said, what exactly are her duties?
What is she supposed to do in the event that...
How does this work?
What is the purpose?
She's got a jacket that says security.
Is it just titular?
If I put a potted plant and it wrote.
Another question I have.
When you call up somebody, let's say you get a refill or something, nothing big.
And somebody answers the whole thing.
Hello?
Can you hear me?
What is it?
Is this the pharmacy?
You okay?
Do you smell me?
Oh, help?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
I got off the phone with this kind of like sad...
You're not sampling the products, are you?
Again, it's this flat effect.
Very, very flat.
Very, very, very flat.
Another thing I look for is this notion of the recession.
Is there a recession?
Do people have money?
It's always interesting to note, I see people, restaurants are packed, people are walking around, a lot of disposable stuff.
I don't know whether this anecdotal stuff qualifies as a valid observation on my part, but I nonetheless look.
And one thing I noticed was, there is my only luxury, my only notion of luxuriation that I do, my only thing, other than a haircut, this is it.
No massages, no nothing, is a manicure.
Those are the, and you can throw a pedicure in it, you do it.
Men, do yourself a favor.
I know you may not like this.
They're very popular here in New York.
I don't know about where you are.
Growing up as a kid, if I say, my father, go to what?
What?
These people know what they're doing.
You can't do a good job.
Why not?
Be on the phone.
Just don't touch the back, but anything else, have that.
It's the best investment you can make.
Why?
When I see men, they sit there and they've got, especially, you know, they'll show you something.
And their fingernails.
It's like, do you not care about this?
Do you not care about this?
I'm not talking about buff, you know, painting.
Anyway.
The amount of money that is paid by women on manicure, that's the business.
It is seemingly unacceptable.
Ending.
All right, with a silk wrap, 250.
250?
Wait a minute, what?
What are you doing?
Is this a transplant?
Are you doing surgery?
No.
Wrap, massage, this, this, this, 250.
Wow!
Packed.
Out the door.
There's money out there.
There is money out there.
Big time.
Big time money.
It's there.
I know you may not think it is, but it's there.
Okay?
Just want to let you know about that.
Next.
You do know that everything we do has to do with psychology, right?
Everything that we do.
Everything.
Your politics.
What you do.
What you say.
How you're reacting now.
Your affect.
Your affect is your demeanor.
The way you appear to be outwardly.
That's your affect.
It's your affectation.
Flat affect is this guy I was talking to, this druggist.
I was like, my God, flat.
I've never had a flat affect in my whole life.
I don't think I'm capable of doing it.
But it's more and more you're seeing this.
But it's very interesting.
Everything that you do, everything that you do, the way you act, the way you interact, the way your politics, the way everything about the way you, everything you do.
It has to do with your psychology.
Nothing...
Next, I don't think anybody really understands libel law.
I don't think anybody understands anything about law.
Have you watched any of the Murdoch trial?
It doesn't really do that much for me, but I don't think anybody watching has any idea of what's going on.
And the coverage, the coverage from the...
Suppose they're trial lawyers, or it's the worst.
Whatever happened to the OJ coverage?
I haven't really watched any trial coverage in a while.
It's, I don't know where they get these people.
You haven't explained to anybody.
See this person trying to vie for their own, their own position.
By the way, the best trial commentator, bar none, Nancy Grace.
Bar none.
I used to work with her years ago at Core TV.
She owns that.
She shows it, tells you exactly what you want to hear, not violent, strong indignation, personal disgust.
When they had the, remember the great, it wasn't great, it was, you know, the, Who was the kid who drew Orlando?
Remember the one who was found missing the pool, the mother?
Mother was partying all the...
Tot Mom.
What was her name?
Casey Anthony.
Tot Mom.
It's Tot Mom.
And she's out there dancing.
Well, her daughter's dead.
And she's wrong.
The best.
The best.
Had nothing to do with the trial.
But it was the best.
Absolutely, simply the best.
The best.
And what was interesting also was how Nancy did not seem to particularly care about the fact that there was no evidence linking the child's death to any kind of homicide.
Natural accidental suicide.
There was nothing.
It was just a skeleton.
But that didn't matter.
And they'll always ask these questions on trial.
Why would he be taking the stand?
Why?
Did you ask that question?
Why would you be taking the stand?
Well, here's the story.
Have you been listening to the trial?
Yeah.
There's nothing.
There is no hmm.
Well, that's an interesting change.
No.
It's been pretty much as predicted.
As predicted.
And, you figure, you know what?
Murdoch, why don't you go up there and give it a shot?
You got nothing to lose, friend.
You may, who knows?
They're making a mistro.
Somebody may say something.
You may, the prosecutor may go crazy.
You've got nothing to lose.
Now, you might be suborning perjury.
That's a tough one.
Because when your client is, and it's tough.
When your client is committing perjury and you know it, you have to sit down and allow your client to speak without you asking questions.
Now, if you're saying, my client is lying about not having done it, you're kind of telling everybody, I know my client did it.
So it's a tough thing to do.
But that aside, you never know with people.
You never know what's going to happen.
You've got nothing to lose.
And by the way, I was listening to one particular show.
I had to turn it off.
He had these four experts and nobody said, I don't know why he used to.
Why would he take this stand?
Are you listening to this?
Do you understand what's going on?
Are you listening to this?
Are you paying attention to what's going on here?
He's got nothing to lose.
Why not?
You might get some juror who says, you know what this guy seems like?
Does he seem...
I don't think he did it.
Well, that's not enough.
I don't think he did it.
I don't think...
You see, my friend, I think you know this.
On television, reality has nothing to do with framing the shot, being out before the segment is over so you can go to commercials.
How did that look?
Was it lit well?
Did you say anything?
That's it.
Because we have 35,000 more of these to go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
And it's very interesting.
And I look at this and think, and you know, Howie Kurtz and others, media matters.
Not media matters.
Whatever he does.
Let's look at this week in the media.
Howie, can we look at, do you mind if we look at it this way?
No, I'd rather not.
No, no, seriously.
Let's look at people who don't know what the hell they're talking about.
They don't know what they're talking about.
I don't understand.
That's why I don't watch that.
I don't watch that.
Okay?
I just...
I don't.
I can't...
It does not...
It doesn't compute.
It doesn't connect with me.
Nobody's...
Nobody.
Politically, socially, nothing.
Award shows?
I can't...
I don't...
I...
Award show is like listening to a frequency of sound that I can't hear.
I don't understand an award show.
There's too many of them.
We had the Academy Awards, maybe the Emmys, and that was it.
The Academy Awards shows in the old days were great.
When Bob Hope was the Bob Hope and then Johnny Carson, it was fantastic.
Bob Hope was the greatest ever.
It was so classy.
Remember when they gave the lifetime achievement to Lawrence Olivier?
Oh my God.
Watch that on YouTube and look at John Voight in the audience.
And you, the firmament, I say good people here.
Before you, my heart is without the...
And what he was saying was absolute gibberish, but he sounded great.
Would that I implemented and incinerated the stapler atop the desk while the garage door was in fact painted green by Grandmama, we would therefore be held in the bosom of your feeling that we could...
What is he saying?
I don't know, but it sounds wonderful.
Doesn't it sound wonderful?
It does, doesn't it?
Say some more.
Please, Larry.
Yes, I shall.
And to you.
How about when Chaplin got his?
Oh!
Charlie Chaplin?
Remember that one?
Those were the...
Oh, my God!
But today, Shia Libith, I don't think, God bless you, knock them dead, but not interested.
It was different then.
You know it, and I know it, and that's the way it was.
And when you want to talk about who the greats were, Spencer Tracy, greatest actor alive today, Gary Ullman.
Period.
You do anything.
You do anything you want.
Versatility, crazy, smooth, anything you want.
Anything you want.
You see some people and, you know, listen.
God bless you.
Do your thing.
Do it.
I was watching something about Oh, what was it?
Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
It was the umpteen movie about, or interview about The Godfather.
Now, Marlon Brando had, you know, cue cards all over the place.
I was in House of Cards.
I don't know about it.
I did it.
And, uh, there's cue cards everywhere.
I mean, this is nothing new.
It's over here.
It's like, why am I going to read this thing?
Can I get my cure?
No, okay.
It wasn't that long to read.
Anyway, but the point is, listen, and who can blame these folks?
They're very good actors.
But how many times have you heard this?
How many times have you heard Robert Duvall come on and he gets upset because of Godfather 3?
It's the same thing.
It's the same thing.
I want something new.
Even the behavior of those people watching things are new.
The short, Have you noticed the short on YouTube?
Incredible.
I'm going to get to some important things.
I was a bit rushed yesterday.
I didn't have a chance to go into detail.
I did not have the chance to go into detail.
But I want to tell you something right now.
My friends, have you?
Today we're waiting for a big snow.
There is no snow.
Hey!
I saw somebody the other day who was so funny on Facebook.
She goes, well, there's no snow here.
She shows a picture of her house with a number.
Why are you doing that?
Why are you doing that?
Why do...
Why?
Do you know who's out there?
Anyway, you know what else is out there?
Flu season.
Oh, my God.
Flu.
You know when that flu feeling gets you?
Have you noticed that?
You get that...
Your eyes.
To me, it's the eyes.
I don't know.
I'm feeling kind of sick.
What is it?
I don't really feel bad.
I just...
My eyes are heavy.
I'm getting...
I think I'm getting a flu.
I just, you know, it's very, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe a throat, maybe, but it's that feeling, it's that, you know, I just, and you don't know what lethargy is until you lose your energy.
You understand that?
And that's why, one of the things you can possibly do, to do the best, and there's a lot, there's a lot in the news today in particular regarding immunity and the like.
But the best thing you can do right now is take Z-Stack.
It's this all-in-one, beautiful, immune-boosting, super-duper formula to help keep the flu away.
I saw somebody there, they pluralize flu with apostrophe S. Please, don't do that.
Don't put apostrophe S. Flu is what?
Of the flu?
No.
And this has, and these bottles are so beautiful, so wonderful.
They also have them in gummies for kids, by the way.
Thank God for gummies for kids.
But it has It's just so terrific.
Zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, and plant-based nutrients like quercetin.
Ah, yes.
Flavonoids.

I prefer taking a...
Any kind of tablets on food because you want to start that digestion process.
Sometimes they say empty.
I don't particularly care for that.
Sometimes it hits me kind of weird.
It's a very simple thing.
And I don't believe in going crazy with things you don't know.
Get stuff you know and get stuff you need.
And Z-Snack is it for you, baby doll.
Now, another thing you must understand is when it comes to food, oh, I love the way everybody's talking about, did you see the price of eggs?
Yes.
Did you see the, yes.
Do you recognize the fact that there's a rather, oh, I don't know, a kind of perilous, parlous connection sometimes between food availability, anything that can go wrong, anything can disrupt the supply chain, yeah.
And do you have Anything prepared in the event you need it.
Just something you bought, you put aside.

My Patriot Supplies.
My Patriot Supplies.
PrepareWithLionel.com.
PrepareWithLionel.com.
It makes the most sense for you.
That's all.
It's a no-brainer.
None whatsoever.
Now, a couple of things I wanted to tell you.
There's a lot going on in the news today, as you know.
And I just did...
One of the best reviews, you know, there's a fascinating case going on right now regarding the notion of libel, libel defamation and the like.
And people kind of don't really understand sort of where it is.
But there's a big case which is dealing with the Fox News company.
And I went through, just did it, and broke it down for you.
And I look at things not necessarily rooting for anybody.
I look at them the way it is.
This is the way it is.
And look at what's happening now.
Irrespective of whether you like the result, like what they're saying, I don't particularly care for that one way or the other.
I tell you, this is the way it is.
Or as my one friend said, sometimes it bees like that.
And it's true.
What does it mean?
What is the whole notion of do you think that the New York Times against Sullivan public figure standard is going to be somehow still applicable in the world?
Is it going to be pertained and appertained?
How does that thing work?
Well, why is this Fox case?
The Fox case is extremely different than anything I have ever seen in forever.
Forever!
It is so monumentally different.
The reason why some people can't talk about it is because they can't separate their own particular feelings from looking at it in a cold and specific way.
A very cold.
Look at it clinically.
What does this mean?
That's what I want to tell you.
That's what I want to tell you.
Because one of the most fascinating things about libel and slander and defamation, nobody really does slander per se, you know, oral, merely spoken word, but the whole notion of libel.
Why that was different?
Because libel was recorded.
And recorded is worse because you can go back and see it again.
Slander is fleeting.
There it is.
Well, if you weren't there to hear it, you missed it.
But what recorded, if it's in a book, if it's on TV, if it's on a radio, if it's recorded, it's kind of elevated to a different status of permanency.
That's one of the reasons why it was considered worse.
You get to hear this.
And what is the one thing that libel has to be?
Libel, defamation, has to be false.
It has to be false.
Truth is a defense.
I can say the most terrible thing about you in the world.
I can do something which is so absolutely, so humiliatingly horrible, and I tell you, I just tell you, and it's true.
It's true.
And you can say, but that was awful.
But it's true.
Yeah, I know, but do you know what you just said?
It's true.
But it revealed that it's true.
That's what defamation is.
And then the old days, it was very interesting, there was libel per se, libel per quod, per se was great.
This is when, this is my favorite, this is from common law, this is when damages were presumed, where you didn't even have to prove it.
You just say this, you just accuse somebody, and you don't even have to explain the damages, libel per se.
Accusing somebody of a crime.
Something that affects business.
But also, accusing somebody.
A woman of being unchaste.
That was it.
That was it.
Don't worry about it.
Damages are presumed.
What if it's true?
Well...
But my favorite?
A loathsome disease.
That was interesting.
A loathsome disease.
Wow.
What is that?
Well, that changes with time.
Leprosy was one they talked about.
Maybe something that was communicable.
At the time, in the 80s, during the scourge of AIDS, when nobody knew anything about it, that might have been something.
It was very interesting.
We pretty much have kind of gotten away from that.
There's just wonderful torts.
By the way, torts, as you know, is the civil version of the crime.
Tort is from the Latin tortius, meaning twisted, contorted, a tortious bowel, twisted.
You're hurt, you're damaged, civil, tort, tortious.
Alienation of affection was great.
This is when you basically lure somebody.
Let's get the great, let's get the actual master definitions.
Alienation of affection.
This is one of my favorites.
Alienation of affections, this was a tort, common law, abolished in many jurisdictions.
Where it still exists, an action is brought by a spouse against a third party, alleged to be responsible for damaging the marriage, most often resulting in divorce.
The defendant in the alienation of affections suit is typically an adulterous spouse's lover.
And that was a great one.
Who wants to sue?
Think about this.
You want a what?
He took my what?
Excuse me, takes two to tango.
What are you worried about?
Yeah, but I might.
Anyway.
And by the way, do you know one of the reasons why, one of the main reasons why we have lawsuits and courts and the like?
Because of what?
To prevent dueling.
That was the reason.
We wanted you to be able to come in there and say, okay, we're going to take care of this.
We're going to do something.
We're going to figure this thing out.
And they were wonderful.
The way they were developed.
The torch were...
Alienation.
I think there was...
There were some other good ones that don't really apply anymore.
Mopery.
Well, there were some crimes.
Did you ever hear Mopery?
Mopery is one where you don't know what to call anything.
Mopery is wonderful.
Mopery is defined as the action of committing a minor or petty offense such as loitering, feelings of apathy or dejection.
But mopery is a vague and formal name for minor offenses.
The word is based on the verb to mope, which originally meant to wander aimlessly.
During the course of criminal justice in our country, we had this thing about people walking around.
We did not like that.
And a lot of it was used, I think, in a racist way because there would be some black gentleman or gentle lady just standing there.
You say, what are you doing here?
What are you up to?
I'm not up to anything.
What are you doing here?
Why can't I be here?
You don't live around here.
Never said I did.
All right, up against the wall.
Wait a minute.
You're up to no good.
I am not.
That's what they would do.
There was a famous case years ago of a dreadlocked African-American man who would decide to walk in the middle of the night through very nice neighborhoods, and they freaked out.
And they said, sorry, he's got the right to walk.
He's not hurting anybody.
Then there was loitering and prowling.
I never understood what that meant.
A loiter or a prowl?
What does that mean?
Now, I was a prosecutor.
And I didn't want to go all George Carlin on people, but I'd say, what do you mean I'm loitering?
I'm prowling.
What is a prowl versus a loitering?
What are you doing?
He's loitering, just kind of hanging around.
Why am I hanging around?
What if I'm just window dressing?
Window watching or window shopping?
What does that mean?
We actually had these things called loitering.
I never understood, what does this mean?
You don't know what it means.
No, I don't know what it means.
We had a local statute one time, and locals are the best.
Oh!
Oh!
Because if you're the prosecutor, you get stuck with this.
One was loitering or the prowling for the purposes of inducing basically sexual congress.
You know, I love that idea.
Prostitution.
What does that mean?
Well, these people in the morning, these women would wear daisy dukes.
Remember that?
In front of this checkers.
I'll never forget.
Florida, Nebraska, Nebraska, this one place.
And they'd wave at people.
And you can say, those are prostitutes.
Well, they look like them.
Do they have a sign?
No, but we know what they are.
And they were.
But it takes more than to say, I know what you are.
And they'd wave at cars.
And they'd arrest these women for waving.
And I said, we can't do this.
No, we have to, because there's a lot of complaints.
I don't give a damn if there's complaints.
You have to live.
In life, sometimes, with people doing stuff you don't like.
But it's protected.
She's waving.
At the same time, it was right around September-ish, right around the time for the Jerry Lewis muscular dystrophy when the fireman would stand on corners waving, you know, with their boot.
I said, well, what's the difference?
He's a fireman.
And how do I know he's not trying to induce prostitution?
What?
He's waving.
She's waving.
Yeah, but she's a prostitute.
How do you know this?
Come on.
I mean, nobody wanted to listen to me.
And I was supposed to be the one who wanted to put her in jail.
I thought, this is the most stupid.
We had a statute that you can't sleep in public.
What does that mean?
We had a federal judge say, what if I fell asleep at a bus stop?
You're going to arrest me?
No, Judge, you're...
What does that mean?
We had these...
What?
What is this?
This is...
We had a statute that said it was against the law to tattoo the body of another human being unless you are a physician or a dentist.
Tattoo parlors weren't even mentioned and I knew that I saw tattoo parlors and I would ask the question, does anybody...
Care that this is not legal.
And they were all on St. Pete, Tampa, Central Avenue.
I said, why don't you repeal this?
Well, because...
No, no.
This statute says get rid of this.
This says you can't do that.
Why don't you get rid of it?
This is what I learned.
Because I expected things to be orderly.
I expected, well, obviously we're going to get rid of that.
Absolutely.
I had a case one time, I think I told you this.
This lawyer from some, I don't know, some big shot somewhere, his daughter was, she had some problems.
And they had an event called Gasparilla.
Every year in Tampa.
Gasparilla.
And she was...
I don't know, whacked, gooned at the max.
Anyway, she threw a bottle and it broke and whatever.
And they charged her with throwing, anyways, throwing a bottle.
And her father said, go ahead and, you know, just plead her out.
You know, I'll take care of it.
Here's something for you.
I said, you know what?
I'm going to take this to trial.
The father said, no, wait a minute.
I'm not going to pay for it.
I said, no, no, this is on the house.
Why are you taking this to trial?
Because of the statute.
Read it.
It says, it's unlawful to throw broken glass.
The glass wasn't broken.
Until after she threw it.
Hey!
We did it!
We did it!
I'll never forget the judge.
I can't see her face.
Said, set it for trial.
Set it for trial.
Judges were having, their dockets were clogged with, you know, murders.
Here I come along, and I want to go to trial on this infraction?
I'll give her a court cause.
Forget it.
No!
And she's looking at me like, did you hear what I said?
I said, now if you want to dismiss it, that's okay.
I can't dismiss it.
How about a motion to dismiss?
Nope.
Take it for a try.
And I read the statute and nobody ever read it.
It's unlawful to throw broken glass.
Who wrote this?
Who wrote this?
Hang on a minute.
Now pick it up and throw it.
You cut yourself.
It's stupid.
Listen to me and listen good.
I don't care what you're charged with ever.
I don't care if it's speeding or whatever it is.
Read the statute.
In New Jersey, they've got this thing, this statute.
I don't know why, but if you have any part of your license where any part of any writing is obscured, If it says, Tennessee, New York, clear as day, but if a little bit of that is obscured by the frame that the dealer normally gives you, where you put...
I will never advertise for a dealer.
You want to give it to me, I'll do it.
And they stop people for this.
And they give you a little thing of points.
There's a statute, I think it's still in Jersey.
That says you can't hang anything from your rearview mirror.
This is where it says to hang your handicapped parking space.
I mean, nobody ever goes back and checks.
What are we doing?
That's why I love this stuff.
Because invariably, invariably, writing down a behavior in a prohibitive means is very difficult.
Write down a statute.
Come up with your own public intoxication statute.
Go ahead.
Try it.
You and your friends get together.
It is hereby unlawful, okay, to appear, appear, keep going, intoxicated.
Ah, what do you mean intoxicated?
Appear intoxicated or be intoxicated?
You're right.
Forget the appear.
To be intoxicated.
How intoxicated?
If you take a little sip of wine, you are technically under the influence of that.
Might not be much, but what do you mean intoxicated?
Well, you know, slurring words.
Falling down.
You want to do a blood alcohol level?
You can't do a blood alcohol level with somebody normally unless they're driving.
And if they refuse to take the blood alcohol level because they're standing on a corner singing and you think they're drunk, good luck.
Good luck writing this one out.
It's horrible.
I love...
When I was in this public defender clinic, we wanted to declare everything unconstitutional, just for the hell of it.
It doesn't make any sense.
It's vague.
It covers two or three different behaviors that are themselves legal.
It's ambiguous.
It's inconsistent.
This statute doesn't apply.
What is this?
Anyway.
I want you to think.
Use your head.
Don't accept things just because somebody tells you something.
Don't accept it.
That goes for everything, by the way.
I'm going to leave it at that.
Everything.
And the bigger the claim, the bigger the evidence.
Okay?
Now, let me tell you very quickly something that is extremely important to me.
Oh, God, our good friends at the EMP Shield.
Oh, God, I love these.
I'll never forget that day I told you about it.
You know what an EMP Shield is?
Yep, you know.
You know why?
Because you're arrebatado, all of you.
In a good way.
In a good way.
Think about this.
Think about this.
There is right now a company out of the Midwest called EMP Shield.
And an electromagnetic pulse is something that, well, you better hope you never want to see.
They've got technology that's undergone testing at Keystone Compliance, which is a military certified facility, and is listed by the Department of Homeland Security.
And this company has devices that protect not just your vehicle and your home, but your generator, solar system, ham radio, RV, and much, much more.
So do yourself a favor and use this link right here for EMP Shield.
Use it right now.
Check that baby out.
Tell me why you shouldn't get one.
Go ahead.
It's up to you.
It's a free country.
And finally, where would we be without the sleep geniuses at MyPillow.com or Pilla.
A pillow.
Pillow.
Just the name.
Pillowy smooth and soft.
There it is right now.
With the number 800-645-4965.
For you, To view and to espy and the like.
Let's see.
Oh, here they are.
Look at this.
Now, go right now.
Wait a minute.
There we go.
Go right now.
That's not it.
That's it.
Go right now.
Look at this.
MyPillow 2.0.

You can select it.
You can choose an option.

What about the fill level?
What fill level?
Would you like to put that in as well?
You can define that.
And what they have right now is they have the temperature regulating technology.
They've got fitting guys.
It's just incredible!
They show the interlocking fill using three different sizes of foam to perfectly adjust to your individual needs.
You thought this was just a pillow, didn't you?
It's more complicated than anything you can imagine.
So do yourself a favor, and the rest of us, and just go to MyPillow.com, promo code Lionel, and see for yourself.
You got it?
You got it?
MyPillow.com I know what you're thinking right now.
You're thinking, why isn't he talking about that other thing?
Oh, but I do.
But not here.
Oh, no, that's not for mixed company.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not going to, no, no.
I did that on my private channel.
Oh, I just did.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have a good time with that one.
Why?
Because I don't have to worry about anything.
Because you've got to remember, sometimes, I know this sounds kind of strange for you to say this, but believe me when I tell you this, people really don't want to hear what you have to say.
And here's the best part.
And I mean this with all my heart.
I can't listen to a lot of the folks who claim to be the voices of whatever.
Because I don't hear anything where I'm learning something.
This is my usual reaction.
But what does that mean?
I don't know about that.
They never tell you anything.
I don't really learn anything.
I just hear people just reacting to things.
And it's the usual stuff.
Kind of the low-hanging fruit stuff.
Which is fine.
But I don't do that.
I want to go deep into it.
On the private channel.
And there's the link right there.
That's all I want to tell you.
That's all.
Be prepared.
I like that, Laura.
You're right.
Be prepared.
It is true.
It's absolutely true.
Be prepared.
By the way, are you hitting the likes?
I don't think so.
You must hit the likes.
Now, we've got a couple of things here.
Number one, I've got a beaut, beaut of a newsletter coming out today.
Oh, it's a good one.
And it's not for everybody.
I'm just telling you.
Because you have to read it.
You have to read it.
Do you know that?
You have to read.
And when I mean read it, it's very simple.
There's nothing to it.
But I found out, interestingly enough, that people do not like To read.
I mean, I'm serious.
They do not like to read.
But here is a newsletter right there.
And I importune you to read this.
Also, Mrs. L is going to have one coming up.
And I also ask you to follow hers as well.
Where is her?
There we go.
It's also terrific.
About digital safety.
Can't say that enough.
People, they don't.
Really understand what we're talking about?
Well, you read her newsletter, you'll know exactly what we're talking about.
And then, and then what do we have?
Oh, oh, oh, we have her YouTube channel.
Where is it?
There, that's right there.
It is a beaut.
There it is.
Please sign up for hers as well.
Because something tells me that not everybody wants our particular message to be, oh, shall we say, heard by everyone.
I'll just leave it at that.
And you have a great and a glorious day.
Everybody seems to be okay here.
Some of your incredible wit, your wisdom is just in.
I don't know how to tell you.
Your ability, your wit, second to none.
All right, my friends, have a great and glorious day.
We'll be back same bat time tomorrow, same bat channel, 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, remember, And I mean that sincerely.
Remember these beautiful words.
The monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
