Good day, dear. | |
Dear sentient... | |
Person, neither left nor right, please, I beg, I beseech, I entreat, I importune you, lose all directional aspects to your political wherewithal. | |
You are not left or right, whatever that means. | |
Let me tell you a little story. | |
I was a psych major in college, which means nothing, but it kind of does. | |
And I always liked, when I was reading books, when I would get a textbook, I always like, open the front, Just get an idea of the, kind of where we're going. | |
It's always interesting. | |
Table of contents. | |
Where are we going? | |
And in law school I did, oh, contract. | |
Oh, implied. | |
Oh, consideration. | |
Oh, okay. | |
Well, there was a class on memory. | |
Memory, I loved it. | |
I loved memory. | |
There were two classes I remember the most. | |
Memory, and the other one was perception and awareness. | |
Psychology curricula, for the most part, there are three kinds. | |
There's cognitive, well, there's Cognitive. | |
Not cognitive. | |
There's counseling. | |
There it is. | |
I'm sorry. | |
Clinical. | |
Experimental. | |
And I.O. Industrial. | |
That was it. | |
The big three. | |
We did a lot of experimental. | |
A lot of math. | |
But in the clinical part, there was this one part called memory. | |
And perception and awareness. | |
Loved it. | |
So I open up the chapter and I look at it. | |
What do I see? | |
Half of the book is devoted to forgetting. | |
I thought this is so important. | |
Isn't that something? | |
Forgetting. | |
Forgetting is one of the most important things. | |
Do you really forget? | |
When people say forgive and forget, you don't really forget things. | |
Sometimes you will truly forget something. | |
What we really mean is when something we kind of habituate to it or It loses its impact. | |
Someone slighted you. | |
Someone broke your heart. | |
Someone stole money. | |
Normally it's the bad stuff we want to forget, not the good stuff. | |
And you remember it, but it doesn't have an impact on you anymore. | |
It doesn't mean the same. | |
See what I'm saying? | |
You don't forget anything. | |
It's not a good idea to forget. | |
Forgetting is not a good thing. | |
But how much weight you give it, that's the story. | |
You will never forget what somebody did to you. | |
Remember when you were a teenager, somebody broke your heart. | |
Maybe, maybe not. | |
I don't know. | |
I don't know about that. | |
But maybe you did. | |
Maybe, maybe, oh my God. | |
And you sit back now and you say, you know what? | |
I remember that, but... | |
It just doesn't mean anything to me. | |
Whereas if you say, I remember breaking my leg. | |
Oh yeah, that was horrible. | |
My God, I was in a cast for six months. | |
I had to have it broken in surgery. | |
Oh God, that was horrible. | |
You remember that? | |
I mean, you don't wake up in the middle of the night. | |
You remember that? | |
But certain events? | |
Oh yeah, I broke. | |
Whatever. | |
Forgiveness is another word. | |
I don't understand this. | |
I don't understand what forgive. | |
Forgive means don't worry about it. | |
Forgive? | |
Nobody forgives. | |
Nobody forgives. | |
What you're saying is something else. | |
To forgive... | |
Well, you know what? | |
Let's do this. | |
I always tell you to do this. | |
So let's do it right now. | |
Let's get an actual definition of forgive. | |
Forgiveness. | |
Forgive means to stop feeling angry. | |
Or resentful towards someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake. | |
Now think about that one. | |
To cancel a debt. | |
But think about this. | |
What forgive truly means, forgiveness means different things to different people, but in general it involves an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger. | |
The fact that hurt or offended might always be with you. | |
So what this is, and I did not notice this until this moment, it does not mean an absolution. | |
It doesn't mean that it's okay. | |
You can forgive or cancel a debt. | |
But it means, again, to stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake. | |
So what it means is, oh, you're not off the hook. | |
I'm not saying it was okay. | |
I'm saying I'm not upset about this anymore. | |
Did you know that? | |
I did not know that. | |
I did not know that. | |
Think about that. | |
I didn't know that. | |
I always thought forgive meant to absolve, to give a clean, you know. | |
So when you're like, for example, in the Catholic Church, we had confession or reconciliation, you know, forgiveness. | |
It was a different story. | |
Now let's talk about something which is very critical, very important for all of us to understand. | |
But first, let me say, it is important and critical and beyond, and I can't say it enough for you to like this video. | |
I know people say it all the time. | |
I know it's repeated to the point of absolute insanity, but it's important that I say that. | |
You must like this video. | |
You must subscribe to this channel. | |
You must subscribe to this channel. | |
We are a dangerous commodity, and the reason why is because people cannot figure us out, and they don't like that. | |
Both sides hate us. | |
All sides hate me. | |
Us. | |
I can't stand... | |
The stuff I say to people, they don't like to hear. | |
I think you know what's going on. | |
There's this Fox News thing, which I handle on my private channel at LionelMedia.com. | |
That's where I go. | |
LionelMedia.com. | |
I go into exquisite detail about that. | |
They don't like that. | |
Because... | |
What I'm telling you is, so what? | |
You're missing the point. | |
It doesn't mean anything. | |
It's forgotten. | |
Not forgiven. | |
Forgotten. | |
I'll give you an example of something. | |
There is a dog obedience. | |
Don't ask me why I get involved. | |
I'm doing this YouTube thing and all of a sudden there's this channel I like and then I'm getting all these songs. | |
Oh, for the love of God. | |
These shorts. | |
Anyway, there's a guy I like a lot. | |
He's an ex-cop and he always wants to train Cane Corsos and this. | |
And he's explaining how to train. | |
And I love the behavioral part of it because I'm a psychologist at heart, which is what I started off with. | |
I'm going to go back to that. | |
And what is important here, when I watch from him, whatever, is the following. | |
Forgetting. | |
Forgiving, that's Forgiving is like mending. | |
Okay, you know what? | |
That pain's gone. | |
You know what? | |
I can use this again. | |
Thank you. | |
That's kind of forgetting. | |
You remember it. | |
But the pain of the show. | |
Forgetting and also distraction. | |
Who's a dyslexic here? | |
Anybody who's a dyslexic? | |
People have terrible jokes about it. | |
Somebody said something one time, which is very important. | |
They said, if you understood how inherently unnatural reading is, you would be surprised anybody can read. | |
Reading is the most... | |
Dyslexia, when it comes to reading comprehension, is understood. | |
It makes complete and total understand. | |
It makes sense. | |
And I understand it completely and totally. | |
Or totally, as they say here in New York. | |
And one of the things which is interesting is that there was a time when for processing something, it's very interesting how you process it, how it comes in, what do you do with it? | |
What do you do with it? | |
There are so many forms, and I see this, I know this. | |
There are so many interesting You know, aphasia. | |
Have you ever heard of something called dyspraxia, which is called a coordination disorder, which is fascinating. | |
And the reason why it's fascinating is called developmental coordination disorder. | |
Sometimes people are... | |
have a hard time sometimes doing certain things. | |
And instead of us... | |
Yelling at a kid and saying, hey, why don't you do this? | |
You've got to say, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
That's not their thing. | |
I know that I have certain absolutely cognitive, you might want to call it a shortcoming, but it doesn't really matter because I don't really use it. | |
But I know, as a matter of fact, I have it. | |
And it's spatial and geographic sometimes, but it doesn't come up. | |
I have to think sometimes, like for example, I'm very good at pointing directions here. | |
Like where I'm sitting right now, I can tell you where everything is. | |
I can point to Times Square. | |
I can point to Jersey. | |
I can point to this. | |
That I can do. | |
But when I have to think about, okay, well, how do we get to some place? | |
I have to rise above, in my head, rise above, And look at the map accordingly. | |
That's the way I look down on it. | |
Not on the street. | |
Not, oh, there's 8th Avenue. | |
Oh, there's the West Side Highway. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
I have to rise above and I look down on it. | |
Now I understand it. | |
Now I can see it. | |
Now, that doesn't come into play. | |
It doesn't cause a problem. | |
But I have it. | |
It's what I do. | |
I think when I was a kid, when I stuttered, still every now and then it comes up and I recognize that. | |
Oh, that's a great one. | |
Because that's nothing but motor putting the word out. | |
And they have all these theories about it. | |
Well, you think so fast. | |
No, you don't. | |
No, it's just... | |
I don't know. | |
And they're stuttering, they're stammering, and there's all kinds of things. | |
Sometimes it's very, very bad. | |
Some people have it, some people don't. | |
And I got around that one as well. | |
But the thing I like the most about it is distraction. | |
So years ago there was a study where a bunch of people who were... | |
Prestidigitators. | |
A sleight of hand people. | |
They were approached by some linguists, cunning or otherwise, who were told, may we talk to you about how you distract people's attention. | |
How do you do that? | |
How do you do that? | |
By the way, here's a great word today. | |
Great word for the day. | |
Before I forget it. | |
Siesis. | |
I went to school with her. | |
C-Y-E-S-I-S. | |
Siesis. | |
Meaning? | |
Pregnancy. | |
I had never heard Siesis. | |
Never. | |
Pregnancy. | |
So next time you want to use, throw in Siesis. | |
C-Y-E-S-I-S. | |
Okay. | |
So they took these people and they said, explain to me what you do. | |
When you have this thing and you... | |
And you palm something and you distract. | |
They know exactly where you're going. | |
So they thought maybe if they could somehow coordinate with sleight of hand folks, they could maybe work to find either a cure or deal with people who have processing disorders, whatever it is. | |
Have you ever met Pitch Perfect people? | |
You know Rick Beato? | |
He's got a great website. | |
Love him. | |
His son, Dylan, I think? | |
This kid is sick. | |
Have you ever seen him? | |
They play a chord and the kid says a G minor 7th augmented 6th. | |
Assuming it's not a work, it's always me thinking everything's wrestling. | |
Why is this important? | |
The reason why it's important is when you want to impress somebody and if you want to talk about something. | |
I was recently doing an interview. | |
And the interviewer said, what do you think about such and such? | |
I said, well, it's a very interesting story, but in three days it will be forgotten. | |
It's my three-day rule, because we forget. | |
We have the attention span of a gnat. | |
Gore Vidal called it the United States of Amnesia. | |
We will forget this. | |
We forget this. | |
This doesn't mean anything to us. | |
We forget. | |
Do you remember the other day when we were just absolutely amazed, transfixed over balloons? | |
99 Luftballons! | |
Something here from somewhere else! | |
It's panic! | |
Something? | |
This is what we're waiting for! | |
This is it, boys! | |
This is what! | |
That's, of course, Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman combined. | |
It's an art I have. | |
I give you my music. | |
Because music is important to me and I share that with you, so you're welcome. | |
So, we were transfixed. | |
Balloons. | |
What is this balloon? | |
Did we get it? | |
Did we see it? | |
How many of these? | |
There's another one! | |
Another one? | |
There's another one? | |
It's coming from a hill. | |
Oh, my God. | |
What is it? | |
Well, they say it's a weather balloon. | |
Or is it from China? | |
I think it's China. | |
I don't know. | |
Oh, my God. | |
It's about the size of a bus. | |
I don't know. | |
Did you know about it? | |
He knew about it. | |
He didn't know about it. | |
Did he know about it? | |
He said he knew about it. | |
Well, he didn't say anything. | |
Well, he said he didn't say something, but we didn't know he said he didn't say something because he didn't say that he didn't say something. | |
He said he would say something in the event he never said anything, and we didn't need to know if he said something. | |
So he didn't say anything, and we didn't hear about it, so we don't know about it. | |
Thank you very much. | |
Back to you. | |
Then they shot it down. | |
Did they shoot it down? | |
I think they shot it down. | |
Did they shoot it down? | |
Shoot it down? | |
How much? | |
You know how much those missiles cost? | |
I hope they shot it down. | |
Where'd the missile go? | |
Did it blow up? | |
That missile didn't keep going, right? | |
All of a sudden it lands up in Argentina. | |
All of a sudden there's this missile. | |
How many of these were there? | |
Was it a UFO? | |
A UFO? | |
Wait a minute. | |
Hold the ground control to Major Tom. | |
A little buoy for you. | |
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time. | |
Oh, oh, oh, oh. | |
And then, what happened? | |
Gone. | |
Never talked about it again. | |
Hey, hold it. | |
Excuse me. | |
Can we... | |
Imagine you're having an argument with somebody and you say, excuse me, can I open that window? | |
Okay, now, anybody want to... | |
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
We're not done talking about this. | |
News audiences would say, okay, yeah, you know, sure, I'll take a cruller. | |
Thanks. | |
Were we talking about something? | |
I don't remember. | |
That's who you are. | |
So the first question is, is this going to matter? | |
What are you going to bother for? | |
Don't worry about it. | |
What are we arguing for? | |
What? | |
What? | |
What are you talking about? | |
Well, I don't know. | |
Did you see that video? | |
It was fantastic. | |
Well, there was a video inside. | |
Did you see what happened? | |
What are you worried about? | |
What's today? | |
Wednesday? | |
Oh, Friday. | |
I forget it. | |
Habituation. | |
Habituation. | |
You put on something. | |
You wear something. | |
Hey, I got this. | |
I got this thing on here. | |
I got this. | |
This is weird. | |
Next thing you know. | |
You don't know what's there. | |
Why? | |
You've habituated. | |
The stimulus is not novel anymore. | |
You've habituated to it. | |
You've been conditioned. | |
It doesn't mean anything. | |
Julian Assange. | |
Who? | |
Oh yeah! | |
That guy! | |
That's right! | |
Oh man! | |
Jeez! | |
We were just... | |
How are those people? | |
Where? | |
In Turkey. | |
That's the way we say Turkey now. | |
Remember to say Kiev, Kiev, Peking, Beijing, Qatar, Qatar, Qaddafi, with a G, a K, a Q. Now it's Turkey. | |
Okay. | |
Whatever happened? | |
Oh, jeez, that's right. | |
This earthquake. | |
Oh, man. | |
That's right. | |
Whatever happened to them? | |
I don't know. | |
Why did we stop talking about that? | |
We just did. | |
Did you hear about France? | |
France? | |
What? | |
Riots in France? | |
Really protested? | |
Wow! | |
Remember the yellow vest? | |
The yellow vest! | |
Wait a minute! | |
Hold it! | |
Yes! | |
Yes! | |
Every week! | |
What happened to that? | |
I don't know. | |
Was it siesis? | |
Pregnancy? | |
Remember, use the word. | |
I did a video on how to remember vocabulary. | |
Use the word today. | |
Siesis. | |
Use it. | |
Hey! | |
Is Janie sciatic? | |
What? | |
Use it. | |
You see where we are? | |
Do you see where we are? | |
So don't worry about anything. | |
We're going to forget it! | |
Don't worry about it! | |

Now, let's go back to what's going on. | |
Every story I want to talk about, or every story, is only going to be good for today. | |
Imagine, I don't know about you, I don't mean to ever make fun of people with memory disorders or cognition issues, because it's not funny, but have you ever talked to somebody who's drunk? | |
Don't even bother arguing. | |
Say, he's drunk. | |
Eh, he's not going to remember it tomorrow. | |
Do you ever have that? | |
You know, Uncle Dave came in. | |
Was he yelling at you? | |
Yeah. | |
What time was it? | |
Nine o 'clock? | |
Ugh, forget it. | |
He's drunk. | |
Don't worry about it. | |
He won't remember it. | |
Don't listen to him. | |
It's Uncle Dave. | |
You know how he gets. | |
You ever see that? | |
They forget the whole thing. | |
Like it never happened. | |
You got that? | |
You got that? | |
That's our news today. | |
That's what's going on. | |
Whatever you see, and it's written, the news is created by people with their own sense of I don't know what the word is. | |
Maybe attention deficit issues perhaps? | |
Also no history? | |
And there's also another group of people too. | |
And you might know these and some of you are here. | |
Let me give you an example. | |
Do you know years ago they would make these claims? | |
They would say that people who used Who experimented, let's say, with marijuana were likely to later on become addicted to heroin. | |
Now, when you heard this, they called it a gateway drug. | |
You do this and you will just get pulled into that current into heroin. | |
When, in fact, they were confusing that with correlation. | |
There's correlation and cause. | |
Two completely different things. | |
You see the idea of finding somebody who said, Hey Dave, you were a heroin addict. | |
I sure was. | |
20 years, but I'm sober. | |
I'm clean and good for you. | |
Congratulations. | |
By the way, you were injecting? | |
I sure was. | |
Did you ever use marijuana? | |
Oh, no way. | |
No, no, no. | |
Drew the line there. | |
No way. | |
Uh-uh. | |
No. | |
And that's unlikely. | |
Somebody who would say, Yeah, injecting something? | |
Yeah, I'll do that. | |
But pot? | |
No. | |
You would think somebody who would, Not in a gateway transition, but somebody who would experiment. | |
Maybe drink beer. | |
Let me get into it. | |
I was also into sports, and I liked cartoons, and mother's milk, and I was homeschooled. | |
Those aren't connectors. | |
Those are just aspects. | |
It's just like when you use a drug and you say, in this control sample, sample A is a control. | |
We've given them a placebo. | |
We have ten people there. | |
They have this disease. | |
We gave them this placebo. | |
Sugar water. | |
In this group, we gave them the substance that we're trying to test. | |
And out of the ten people, five people, five got better. | |
But out of the placebo, four people got better. | |
Wait a minute. | |
How did that work? | |
I don't know, but we've got to get to the bottom of that. | |
Some of you would say, aha, it works. | |
Why? | |
Well, five got better. | |
Did you hear what I said? | |
Yeah, I did. | |
Four people in the other group got better also. | |
Oh, yeah. | |
I asked somebody, I said, does prayer work? | |
Yes. | |
How do you know that? | |
Do you apply any kind of thinking to that? | |
I mean, it could very well be. | |
I'm not saying it doesn't, but do you have any reason? | |
Well, why do you think crime rates go up? | |
Why is there more crime at night? | |
Then during the daytime, think about it. | |
People will just answer the question. | |
And that's one thing that you do. | |
You just answer questions. | |
Well, you've got to understand history and statistics and that sort of thing. | |
And I'm telling you right now, I have found out that I wish I could, I wish I could, at the bottom of the screen, take any news show and say, by the way, this story right now? | |
Remember Mystery Science Theater? | |
I love that. | |
Remember those little creatures that got with the... | |
I would be standing probably inside of something. | |
See this one right here? | |
Has no idea what she's talking about. | |
They're just doing whatever it is. | |
They're just saying things. | |
This doesn't matter. | |
This is... | |
But if I say, now here's what's important. | |
This is what you should know. | |
This is what's critical. | |
Nobody would want to listen to my news program. | |
I said, okay, by the way, we're going to get rid of all these. | |
We're going to talk about one story today that really, we're going to really, we're going to start off with the history of, let's say, Ukraine. | |
Oh, no. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
Yes. | |
Oh, no. | |
Don't you want to talk? | |
Well, maybe I'll talk about it. | |
No, I don't want to talk about it. | |
Really? | |
Okay, well. | |
But don't you think it helps people if they understand? | |
They're not going to understand. | |
They're not going to pay attention. | |
Yeah, but don't you think it makes it? | |
No. | |
They're not going to understand. | |
They're not going to get it. | |
This is the best one ever. | |
This is what you'll never see on any news show in this country. | |
A map. | |
A globe. | |
A globe. | |
And the little, get the right arc here. | |
These are the seasons. | |
You've got to turn it to the side. | |
These are the seasons. | |
But they don't get it. | |
You don't understand. | |
This means nothing. | |
Remember geography in school? | |
It was so much fun. | |
I fell in love with Tunisia. | |
I loved the fly. | |
When I was a kid, it was a great school. | |
I loved the hobby. | |
I did a report on it. | |
I used to do reports. | |
I love reports. | |
I loved them. | |
It was great. | |
I learned independent study, autodidact. | |
This is important. | |
Because here's the thing right here. | |
This is our group. | |
Right here, look. | |
Look at us. | |
This is our side. | |
Not very complicated. | |
There's us. | |
Canada at the top. | |
There's Mexico and South America. | |
That's it! | |
Now, here's the rest of the world. | |
Wow! | |
Wow! | |
Look at that! | |
Look at all the colors and the countries and oh my god! | |
See, that explains everything. | |
That changes your frame of reference. | |
That changes your frame of reference. | |
Did you ever talk to somebody from Europe? | |
They have passports. | |
Dig over here. | |
They drive two hours, they're in France. | |
They go over here, they're in Spain. | |
They travel, they fly, they're into countries and currencies maybe and languages and food and they're wonderful. | |
What do we do in our country? | |
We don't travel. | |
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | |
And throw that into the mix. | |
How do you explain somebody the history? | |
How do you explain? | |
Have you asked somebody, what do you think about the Uyghurs, for example? | |
They don't know what you're talking about. | |
Where are they? | |
Did you check this? | |
No. | |
Okay. | |
How about this story? | |
This one gets me. | |
Boy, a lot of people aren't showing back to work. | |
I've got a couple of friends. | |
One has a big, big accounting. | |
Another one is an institutional finance place. | |
And their workers are not coming back to work. | |
They're not coming back to work. | |
And I ask the question, why are they coming back to work? | |
I don't know. | |
Well, are you firing them? | |
No. | |
Why aren't you firing them? | |
We can't. | |
Why not? | |
What is their incentive to come back if you don't fire them? | |
I don't understand this. | |
Well, I don't know. | |
Wait a minute. | |
You mean you're not firing them? | |
No. | |
I don't understand any of this. | |
How many, right now, Do you know someone right there, right now, who either works in an industry or maybe you, where the workers just say, we're not coming back. | |
We don't want to travel. | |
Maybe we're afraid. | |
Maybe we're weary. | |
Have you seen this? | |
Have you ever seen this? | |
It's all over the place. | |
Big industries. | |
We're not showing up. | |
You're not showing up. | |
What if you had a pizza joint? | |
What if you had Domino's Pizza? | |
What if a delivery? | |
And you said, my delivery people aren't showing up. | |
What are you going to do? | |
Well, they want to work from home. | |
You can't work from home. | |
You're fired. | |
Well, I don't know. | |
I'm not sure. | |
What do you mean you're not sure? | |
Well, we can't find, you know, traitors and they just won't come in. | |
They're not. | |
Did you tell them you're going to be fired? | |
Okay. | |
And when you go someplace and they ask this person, where did you work before? | |
You're going to mention me. | |
They're going to call me, but I'm going to say, he never showed up. | |
But maybe that's different. | |
I don't know. | |
I don't understand any of this. | |
Throw that into the mix. | |
Pretty soon you're going to watch a morning news show and they're going to say, hey, where's Kaylee or Morgan or Dave? | |
Oh, he's not coming in anymore. | |
Why? | |
He doesn't want to. | |
He wants to do it from home in his pajamas. | |
What? | |
Where's Doc Mendelsohn? | |
He's not coming in anymore. | |
Why? | |
He wants to work from home. | |
He's a doctor. | |
I got this rash. | |
Well, can you send him a picture? | |
No, I can't send him a picture. | |
Go to the emergency room. | |
Where is this? | |
Where is everybody? | |
They're not here. | |
I know I'm saying too much, and I know I'm giving you too much to think about. | |
I realize that. | |
And I have to ask myself sometimes, why am I doing this? | |
Why am I doing this? | |
Here's one thing. | |
When I talk about food supply and food emergencies, sometimes I get that look too. | |
Like my Patriot Supply, Prepare with Lionel. | |
I said, what are you going to do in the event of a... | |
Let's just assume there's a food emergency. | |
A what? | |
A food emergency. | |
Why is there a food emergency? | |
Why is there ever an emergency? | |
Well... | |
I don't know. | |
Do you have a thought about it? | |
No. | |
What would you do in case of... | |
You're not alert, are you? | |
I mean, alarm, I should say. | |
I'm not alert either. | |
You're not alarm. | |
No, I'm not alarm. | |
I don't understand this. | |
This is the part that I don't understand. | |
We have been through so many of these things. | |
And Prepare With Lionel right now provides you, from the great people of my patriots of life, $250 on a three-month emergency food kit. | |
25-year shelf life. | |
This is not... | |
You know, some bag of, oh look, pretzels. | |
No, no, no, no, no. | |
This is for 90 days. | |
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, in resealable oxygen-absorbing packets. | |
I mean, it's the most incredible thing in the world. | |
It's a serious food. | |
I don't get it. | |
We went crazy over toilet paper. | |
When there was no need for it. | |
Hey, during COVID, COVID is not a lower GI kind of problem. | |
There's no, you know, you don't have tenesmus. | |
That's a good word for you. | |
You don't have that. | |
Don't worry about it. | |
I don't get it. | |
It's another one of those things. | |
I just don't understand it. | |
People, so listen. | |
Do yourself a favor. | |
Preparewithlionel.com Look at this. | |
And you tell me if this makes any sense. | |
Oh, and by the way, let's also talk about speaking of food. | |
People aren't eating the right food. | |
They're not interested. | |
I like where they come up with, well, you know, I'm on the Neanderthal diet. | |
What is it? | |
Oh, yeah. | |
I eat raw, raw organ meat and salt lick. | |
I lost 12 pounds. | |
I'm on the Neanderthal diet. | |
Really? | |
Oh yeah, I'm an expert on that. | |
See, that's the way we were. | |
See the thing here? | |
We're canines. | |
We're meant to eat meat. | |
You think that's what that means? | |
Yeah, of course. | |
Okay. | |
And they're just all of a sudden, remember, turmeric. | |
Oh my God. | |
I gotta get that. | |
Look at my cayenne capsules. | |
That's the biggest thing right now. | |
Here's the thing. | |
Here's the weight loss craze. | |
And they jump on this stuff. | |
Okay, fine. | |
It's a free country. | |
But here's one for you. | |
If you're going to try to maintain this thing called your immune system, how about making sure you get enough C? | |
Because you don't even get that. | |
Zinc? | |
You don't get that. | |
Vitamin D? | |
D? | |
Probably not. | |
And certainly sun used to be the usual ways. | |
And any kind of quercetin-like flavonoids and antioxidants? | |
I know you don't get that. | |
I know you don't. | |
You will get B12. | |
That you'll get. | |
By virtue of eating organ meat and things like that. | |
But no, no, no. | |
So here's what you do. | |
ZStack. | |
There's a link right there. | |
You go. | |
50% off ZStack for yourself and your kids and that's it. | |
And just take it and don't worry about it. | |
Just take it. | |
It makes complete sense. | |
Go to the website. | |
Read for yourself. | |
See, as you can tell, I understand human behavior, and I understand what this thing is, and I recognize the fact that people just don't... | |
I just know how people act. | |
I know what people act. | |
They love to talk to you, talk you out of things, and this isn't important, or they'll make stuff up. | |
They, you know, or within certain groups of people, well, my group, we find this to be the story. | |
Well, I didn't know that. | |
Oh, yeah, we're talking about this. | |
All of my group, and I talk to them, and we kind of feed off of each other. | |
You think this is important? | |
Oh, absolutely. | |
These videos, oh, these videos are this. | |
Well, enjoy yourself, because in three days, it's gone. | |
Remember that. | |
So whatever you see right now, don't worry. | |
Don't worry. | |
Some people say, you know, when I go on vacation, I don't read anything. | |
Well, that's nice, because, but during your vacation, you will have missed all these subjects that will have been forgotten immediately. | |
And that's the way that is. | |
Because we are a very, very sad group of people. | |
And we have groups of people who... | |
We have one group who are the... | |
And they're very interesting. | |
These are the hyper-paranoid groups who believe in things that nobody believes in. | |
Then you have most people who just don't care about anything. | |
Nothing. | |
Nothing. | |
Well, I'm going to sit back and enjoy myself. | |
So here's what it is, my friend. | |
Recognize the balance. | |
Recognize the balance between cognition, forgetting, habituation, processing, and you'll do just fine. | |
You'll do just fine. | |
Just remember that. | |
Don't fight it. | |
Just understand how people are. | |
Now, if you want to read something great, I just did a brand new video on my Twitter account, which is, well, a little video, which is, that'll get people upset. | |
Because basically, I tell them the truth, and people hate the truth. | |
Also, I don't know if you're getting my newsletters, but oh, they are beauts. | |
I may crank one out later, put together a nice little compilation of sorts for all of you fine, fine people. | |
And also, Mrs. L is doing a tremendous job. | |
I want you to sign up for her newsletter because when it comes to protecting our children, the issues, I promise you, this is what your bought and sold mainstream media news are not being told. | |
And also, this is her YouTube channel right now. | |
And I want you to go to it and sign up. | |
It is a beaut. | |
Alright? | |
And that's it. | |
And I want you to promise me you have a great and a glorious day. | |
Don't ever change any of that sincerely. | |
Thank you for everything you, not what you've done, but what you've appeared to do. | |
Your ability to pretend to be aware is something that is frankly one for the ages. | |
Don't forget to like this video, subscribe to the channel, and until tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel. | |
Don't forget these. | |
Fateful words. | |
This valedictory, the monkey's dead, the show's over. | |
Sue ya! |
