| 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 here's things I'm not going to forget about. | |

| 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. | |
