[00:01:47]  You are not left or right, whatever that means.
[00:01:50]  Let me tell you a little story.
[00:01:53]  I was a psych major in college, which means nothing, but it kind of does.
[00:02:00]  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.

=== Memory Matters (15:58) ===

[00:02:09]  It's always interesting.
[00:02:10]  Table of contents.
[00:02:11]  Where are we going?
[00:02:13]  And in law school I did, oh, contract.
[00:02:15]  Oh, implied.
[00:02:16]  Oh, consideration.
[00:02:17]  Oh, okay.
[00:02:18]  Well, there was a class on memory.
[00:02:20]  Memory, I loved it.
[00:02:21]  I loved memory.
[00:02:21]  There were two classes I remember the most.
[00:02:23]  Memory, and the other one was perception and awareness.
[00:02:27]  Psychology curricula, for the most part, there are three kinds.
[00:02:31]  There's cognitive, well, there's Cognitive.
[00:02:34]  Not cognitive.
[00:02:35]  There's counseling.
[00:02:37]  There it is.
[00:02:38]  I'm sorry.
[00:02:38]  Clinical.
[00:02:41]  Experimental.
[00:02:42]  And I.O. Industrial.
[00:02:44]  That was it.
[00:02:45]  The big three.
[00:02:46]  We did a lot of experimental.
[00:02:48]  A lot of math.
[00:02:51]  But in the clinical part, there was this one part called memory.
[00:02:55]  And perception and awareness.
[00:02:57]  Loved it.
[00:02:58]  So I open up the chapter and I look at it.
[00:03:01]  What do I see?
[00:03:03]  Half of the book is devoted to forgetting.
[00:03:08]  I thought this is so important.
[00:03:10]  Isn't that something?
[00:03:12]  Forgetting.
[00:03:14]  Forgetting is one of the most important things.
[00:03:17]  Do you really forget?
[00:03:18]  When people say forgive and forget, you don't really forget things.
[00:03:21]  Sometimes you will truly forget something.
[00:03:26]  What we really mean is when something we kind of habituate to it or It loses its impact.
[00:03:34]  Someone slighted you.
[00:03:35]  Someone broke your heart.
[00:03:37]  Someone stole money.
[00:03:40]  Normally it's the bad stuff we want to forget, not the good stuff.
[00:03:43]  And you remember it, but it doesn't have an impact on you anymore.
[00:03:49]  It doesn't mean the same.
[00:03:53]  See what I'm saying?
[00:03:55]  You don't forget anything.
[00:03:58]  It's not a good idea to forget.
[00:04:00]  Forgetting is not a good thing.
[00:04:05]  But how much weight you give it, that's the story.
[00:04:10]  You will never forget what somebody did to you.
[00:04:12]  Remember when you were a teenager, somebody broke your heart.
[00:04:16]  Maybe, maybe not.
[00:04:17]  I don't know.
[00:04:18]  I don't know about that.
[00:04:19]  But maybe you did.
[00:04:20]  Maybe, maybe, oh my God.
[00:04:23]  And you sit back now and you say, you know what?
[00:04:25]  I remember that, but...
[00:04:27]  It just doesn't mean anything to me.
[00:04:30]  Whereas if you say, I remember breaking my leg.
[00:04:32]  Oh yeah, that was horrible.
[00:04:34]  My God, I was in a cast for six months.
[00:04:39]  I had to have it broken in surgery.
[00:04:41]  Oh God, that was horrible.
[00:04:43]  You remember that?
[00:04:45]  I mean, you don't wake up in the middle of the night.
[00:04:47]  You remember that?
[00:04:48]  But certain events?
[00:04:49]  Oh yeah, I broke.
[00:04:51]  Whatever.
[00:04:55]  Forgiveness is another word.
[00:04:57]  I don't understand this.
[00:04:58]  I don't understand what forgive.
[00:04:59]  Forgive means don't worry about it.
[00:05:01]  Forgive?
[00:05:02]  Nobody forgives.
[00:05:06]  Nobody forgives.
[00:05:08]  What you're saying is something else.
[00:05:10]  To forgive...
[00:05:12]  Well, you know what?
[00:05:12]  Let's do this.
[00:05:13]  I always tell you to do this.
[00:05:14]  So let's do it right now.
[00:05:15]  Let's get an actual definition of forgive.
[00:05:19]  Forgiveness.
[00:05:20]  Forgive means to stop feeling angry.
[00:05:23]  Or resentful towards someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.
[00:05:30]  Now think about that one.
[00:05:32]  To cancel a debt.
[00:05:35]  But think about this.
[00:05:38]  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.
[00:05:49]  The fact that hurt or offended might always be with you.
[00:05:53]  So what this is, and I did not notice this until this moment, it does not mean an absolution.
[00:06:01]  It doesn't mean that it's okay.
[00:06:05]  You can forgive or cancel a debt.
[00:06:08]  But it means, again, to stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.
[00:06:18]  So what it means is, oh, you're not off the hook.
[00:06:23]  I'm not saying it was okay.
[00:06:27]  I'm saying I'm not upset about this anymore.
[00:06:32]  Did you know that?
[00:06:34]  I did not know that.
[00:06:38]  I did not know that.
[00:06:43]  Think about that.
[00:06:46]  I didn't know that.
[00:06:48]  I always thought forgive meant to absolve, to give a clean, you know.
[00:06:58]  So when you're like, for example, in the Catholic Church, we had confession or reconciliation, you know, forgiveness.
[00:07:07]  It was a different story.
[00:07:09]  Now let's talk about something which is very critical, very important for all of us to understand.
[00:07:13]  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.
[00:07:20]  I know people say it all the time.
[00:07:21]  I know it's repeated to the point of absolute insanity, but it's important that I say that.
[00:07:26]  You must like this video.
[00:07:27]  You must subscribe to this channel.
[00:07:29]  You must subscribe to this channel.
[00:07:32]  We are a dangerous commodity, and the reason why is because people cannot figure us out, and they don't like that.
[00:07:39]  Both sides hate us.
[00:07:40]  All sides hate me.
[00:07:41]  Us.
[00:07:42]  I can't stand...
[00:07:43]  The stuff I say to people, they don't like to hear.
[00:07:48]  I think you know what's going on.
[00:07:49]  There's this Fox News thing, which I handle on my private channel at LionelMedia.com.
[00:07:55]  That's where I go.
[00:07:56]  LionelMedia.com.
[00:07:57]  I go into exquisite detail about that.
[00:08:01]  They don't like that.
[00:08:03]  Because...
[00:08:04]  What I'm telling you is, so what?
[00:08:06]  You're missing the point.
[00:08:13]  It doesn't mean anything.
[00:08:14]  It's forgotten.
[00:08:15]  Not forgiven.
[00:08:16]  Forgotten.
[00:08:17]  I'll give you an example of something.
[00:08:20]  There is a dog obedience.
[00:08:25]  Don't ask me why I get involved.
[00:08:27]  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.
[00:08:37]  Oh, for the love of God.
[00:08:40]  These shorts.
[00:08:42]  Anyway, there's a guy I like a lot.
[00:08:43]  He's an ex-cop and he always wants to train Cane Corsos and this.
[00:08:47]  And he's explaining how to train.
[00:08:51]  And I love the behavioral part of it because I'm a psychologist at heart, which is what I started off with.
[00:08:59]  I'm going to go back to that.
[00:09:02]  And what is important here, when I watch from him, whatever, is the following.
[00:09:07]  Forgetting.
[00:09:07]  Forgiving, that's Forgiving is like mending.
[00:09:15]  Okay, you know what?
[00:09:16]  That pain's gone.
[00:09:17]  You know what?
[00:09:17]  I can use this again.
[00:09:18]  Thank you.
[00:09:19]  That's kind of forgetting.
[00:09:20]  You remember it.
[00:09:22]  But the pain of the show.
[00:09:24]  Forgetting and also distraction.
[00:09:26]  Who's a dyslexic here?
[00:09:28]  Anybody who's a dyslexic?
[00:09:31]  People have terrible jokes about it.
[00:09:35]  Somebody said something one time, which is very important.
[00:09:37]  They said, if you understood how inherently unnatural reading is, you would be surprised anybody can read.
[00:09:45]  Reading is the most...
[00:09:47]  Dyslexia, when it comes to reading comprehension, is understood.
[00:09:53]  It makes complete and total understand.
[00:09:55]  It makes sense.
[00:09:57]  And I understand it completely and totally.
[00:10:01]  Or totally, as they say here in New York.
[00:10:05]  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?
[00:10:15]  What do you do with it?
[00:10:20]  There are so many forms, and I see this, I know this.
[00:10:28]  There are so many interesting You know, aphasia.
[00:10:39]  Have you ever heard of something called dyspraxia, which is called a coordination disorder, which is fascinating.
[00:10:46]  And the reason why it's fascinating is called developmental coordination disorder.
[00:10:52]  Sometimes people are...
[00:10:54]  have a hard time sometimes doing certain things.
[00:10:58]  And instead of us...
[00:11:00]  Yelling at a kid and saying, hey, why don't you do this?
[00:11:02]  You've got to say, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:11:03]  That's not their thing.
[00:11:06]  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.
[00:11:21]  But I know, as a matter of fact, I have it.
[00:11:24]  And it's spatial and geographic sometimes, but it doesn't come up.
[00:11:31]  I have to think sometimes, like for example, I'm very good at pointing directions here.
[00:11:38]  Like where I'm sitting right now, I can tell you where everything is.
[00:11:42]  I can point to Times Square.
[00:11:44]  I can point to Jersey.
[00:11:45]  I can point to this.
[00:11:46]  That I can do.
[00:11:47]  But when I have to think about, okay, well, how do we get to some place?
[00:11:54]  I have to rise above, in my head, rise above, And look at the map accordingly.
[00:12:02]  That's the way I look down on it.
[00:12:04]  Not on the street.
[00:12:05]  Not, oh, there's 8th Avenue.
[00:12:07]  Oh, there's the West Side Highway.
[00:12:08]  No, no, no, no.
[00:12:08]  I have to rise above and I look down on it.
[00:12:12]  Now I understand it.
[00:12:13]  Now I can see it.
[00:12:15]  Now, that doesn't come into play.
[00:12:17]  It doesn't cause a problem.
[00:12:19]  But I have it.
[00:12:21]  It's what I do.
[00:12:23]  I think when I was a kid, when I stuttered, still every now and then it comes up and I recognize that.
[00:12:27]  Oh, that's a great one.
[00:12:29]  Because that's nothing but motor putting the word out.
[00:12:34]  And they have all these theories about it.
[00:12:35]  Well, you think so fast.
[00:12:37]  No, you don't.
[00:12:38]  No, it's just...
[00:12:40]  I don't know.
[00:12:42]  And they're stuttering, they're stammering, and there's all kinds of things.
[00:12:44]  Sometimes it's very, very bad.
[00:12:45]  Some people have it, some people don't.
[00:12:47]  And I got around that one as well.
[00:12:50]  But the thing I like the most about it is distraction.
[00:12:53]  So years ago there was a study where a bunch of people who were...
[00:12:55]  Prestidigitators.
[00:12:57]  A sleight of hand people.
[00:12:59]  They were approached by some linguists, cunning or otherwise, who were told, may we talk to you about how you distract people's attention.
[00:13:14]  How do you do that?
[00:13:18]  How do you do that?
[00:13:20]  By the way, here's a great word today.
[00:13:21]  Great word for the day.
[00:13:22]  Before I forget it.
[00:13:23]  Siesis.
[00:13:25]  I went to school with her.
[00:13:26]  C-Y-E-S-I-S.
[00:13:30]  Siesis.
[00:13:31]  Meaning?
[00:13:32]  Pregnancy.
[00:13:34]  I had never heard Siesis.
[00:13:36]  Never.
[00:13:38]  Pregnancy.
[00:13:39]  So next time you want to use, throw in Siesis.
[00:13:41]  C-Y-E-S-I-S.
[00:13:43]  Okay.
[00:13:44]  So they took these people and they said, explain to me what you do.
[00:13:48]  When you have this thing and you...
[00:13:50]  And you palm something and you distract.
[00:13:53]  They know exactly where you're going.
[00:13:56]  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.
[00:14:11]  Have you ever met Pitch Perfect people?
[00:14:13]  You know Rick Beato?
[00:14:14]  He's got a great website.
[00:14:16]  Love him.
[00:14:16]  His son, Dylan, I think?
[00:14:18]  This kid is sick.
[00:14:19]  Have you ever seen him?
[00:14:21]  They play a chord and the kid says a G minor 7th augmented 6th.
[00:14:27]  Assuming it's not a work, it's always me thinking everything's wrestling.
[00:14:32]  Why is this important?
[00:14:34]  The reason why it's important is when you want to impress somebody and if you want to talk about something.
[00:14:42]  I was recently doing an interview.
[00:14:46]  And the interviewer said, what do you think about such and such?
[00:14:49]  I said, well, it's a very interesting story, but in three days it will be forgotten.
[00:14:54]  It's my three-day rule, because we forget.
[00:14:59]  We have the attention span of a gnat.
[00:15:00]  Gore Vidal called it the United States of Amnesia.
[00:15:03]  We will forget this.
[00:15:04]  We forget this.
[00:15:05]  This doesn't mean anything to us.
[00:15:08]  We forget.
[00:15:09]  Do you remember the other day when we were just absolutely amazed, transfixed over balloons?
[00:15:18]  99 Luftballons!
[00:15:22]  Something here from somewhere else!
[00:15:26]  It's panic!
[00:15:28]  Something?
[00:15:31]  This is what we're waiting for!
[00:15:34]  This is it, boys!
[00:15:36]  This is what!
[00:15:38]  That's, of course, Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman combined.
[00:15:42]  It's an art I have.
[00:15:43]  I give you my music.
[00:15:45]  Because music is important to me and I share that with you, so you're welcome.
[00:15:50]  So, we were transfixed.
[00:15:54]  Balloons.
[00:15:55]  What is this balloon?
[00:15:56]  Did we get it?
[00:15:58]  Did we see it?
[00:15:59]  How many of these?
[00:16:00]  There's another one!
[00:16:01]  Another one?
[00:16:02]  There's another one?
[00:16:04]  It's coming from a hill.
[00:16:05]  Oh, my God.
[00:16:06]  What is it?
[00:16:07]  Well, they say it's a weather balloon.
[00:16:08]  Or is it from China?
[00:16:09]  I think it's China.
[00:16:10]  I don't know.
[00:16:11]  Oh, my God.
[00:16:13]  It's about the size of a bus.
[00:16:15]  I don't know.
[00:16:17]  Did you know about it?
[00:16:18]  He knew about it.
[00:16:19]  He didn't know about it.
[00:16:20]  Did he know about it?
[00:16:20]  He said he knew about it.
[00:16:21]  Well, he didn't say anything.
[00:16:22]  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.
[00:16:28]  He said he would say something in the event he never said anything, and we didn't need to know if he said something.
[00:16:33]  So he didn't say anything, and we didn't hear about it, so we don't know about it.
[00:16:35]  Thank you very much.
[00:16:36]  Back to you.
[00:16:39]  Then they shot it down.
[00:16:40]  Did they shoot it down?
[00:16:40]  I think they shot it down.
[00:16:41]  Did they shoot it down?
[00:16:42]  Shoot it down?
[00:16:43]  How much?
[00:16:43]  You know how much those missiles cost?
[00:16:45]  I hope they shot it down.
[00:16:46]  Where'd the missile go?
[00:16:47]  Did it blow up?
[00:16:48]  That missile didn't keep going, right?
[00:16:49]  All of a sudden it lands up in Argentina.
[00:16:51]  All of a sudden there's this missile.
[00:16:53]  How many of these were there?
[00:16:54]  Was it a UFO?
[00:16:55]  A UFO?
[00:16:56]  Wait a minute.
[00:16:56]  Hold the ground control to Major Tom.
[00:17:01]  A little buoy for you.
[00:17:04]  And I think it's gonna be a long, long time.
[00:17:08]  Oh, oh, oh, oh.
[00:17:14]  And then, what happened?
[00:17:19]  Gone.
[00:17:22]  Never talked about it again.
[00:17:25]  Hey, hold it.
[00:17:26]  Excuse me.
[00:17:29]  Can we...
[00:17:34]  Imagine you're having an argument with somebody and you say, excuse me, can I open that window?
[00:17:38]  Okay, now, anybody want to...
[00:17:39]  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:17:42]  We're not done talking about this.
[00:17:44]  News audiences would say, okay, yeah, you know, sure, I'll take a cruller.

=== MyPillow Alerts (06:05) ===

[00:17:50]  Thanks.
[00:17:51]  Were we talking about something?
[00:17:53]  I don't remember.
[00:17:54]  That's who you are.
[00:17:58]  So the first question is, is this going to matter?
[00:17:59]  What are you going to bother for?
[00:18:01]  Don't worry about it.
[00:18:02]  What are we arguing for?
[00:18:03]  What?
[00:18:05]  What?
[00:18:05]  What are you talking about?
[00:18:07]  Well, I don't know.
[00:18:07]  Did you see that video?
[00:18:08]  It was fantastic.
[00:18:09]  Well, there was a video inside.
[00:18:12]  Did you see what happened?
[00:18:13]  What are you worried about?
[00:18:16]  What's today?
[00:18:17]  Wednesday?
[00:18:17]  Oh, Friday.
[00:18:18]  I forget it.
[00:18:21]  Habituation.
[00:18:22]  Habituation.
[00:18:23]  You put on something.
[00:18:24]  You wear something.
[00:18:25]  Hey, I got this.
[00:18:26]  I got this thing on here.
[00:18:28]  I got this.
[00:18:29]  This is weird.
[00:18:30]  Next thing you know.
[00:18:31]  You don't know what's there.
[00:18:32]  Why?
[00:18:33]  You've habituated.
[00:18:34]  The stimulus is not novel anymore.
[00:18:36]  You've habituated to it.
[00:18:37]  You've been conditioned.
[00:18:39]  It doesn't mean anything.
[00:18:42]  Julian Assange.
[00:18:43]  Who?
[00:18:44]  Oh yeah!
[00:18:45]  That guy!
[00:18:46]  That's right!
[00:18:47]  Oh man!
[00:18:49]  Jeez!
[00:18:50]  We were just...
[00:18:51]  How are those people?
[00:18:55]  Where?
[00:18:55]  In Turkey.
[00:18:58]  That's the way we say Turkey now.
[00:19:00]  Remember to say Kiev, Kiev, Peking, Beijing, Qatar, Qatar, Qaddafi, with a G, a K, a Q. Now it's Turkey.
[00:19:14]  Okay.
[00:19:16]  Whatever happened?
[00:19:17]  Oh, jeez, that's right.
[00:19:19]  This earthquake.
[00:19:22]  Oh, man.
[00:19:24]  That's right.
[00:19:25]  Whatever happened to them?
[00:19:26]  I don't know.
[00:19:27]  Why did we stop talking about that?
[00:19:29]  We just did.
[00:19:31]  Did you hear about France?
[00:19:33]  France?
[00:19:34]  What?
[00:19:34]  Riots in France?
[00:19:35]  Really protested?
[00:19:37]  Wow!
[00:19:38]  Remember the yellow vest?
[00:19:40]  The yellow vest!
[00:19:41]  Wait a minute!
[00:19:42]  Hold it!
[00:19:43]  Yes!
[00:19:44]  Yes!
[00:19:45]  Every week!
[00:19:46]  What happened to that?
[00:19:48]  I don't know.
[00:19:50]  Was it siesis?
[00:19:52]  Pregnancy?
[00:19:53]  Remember, use the word.
[00:19:54]  I did a video on how to remember vocabulary.
[00:19:57]  Use the word today.
[00:19:58]  Siesis.
[00:19:58]  Use it.
[00:19:59]  Hey!
[00:20:00]  Is Janie sciatic?
[00:20:01]  What?
[00:20:02]  Use it.
[00:20:04]  You see where we are?
[00:20:06]  Do you see where we are?
[00:20:09]  So don't worry about anything.
[00:20:10]  We're going to forget it!
[00:20:12]  Don't worry about it!
[00:20:14]  Now here's things I'm not going to forget about.

[00:23:05]  Every story I want to talk about, or every story, is only going to be good for today.
[00:23:11]  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?
[00:23:23]  Don't even bother arguing.
[00:23:24]  Say, he's drunk.
[00:23:25]  Eh, he's not going to remember it tomorrow.
[00:23:27]  Do you ever have that?
[00:23:29]  You know, Uncle Dave came in.
[00:23:30]  Was he yelling at you?
[00:23:32]  Yeah.
[00:23:32]  What time was it?
[00:23:32]  Nine o 'clock?
[00:23:33]  Ugh, forget it.
[00:23:37]  He's drunk.
[00:23:37]  Don't worry about it.
[00:23:38]  He won't remember it.

=== Five People Got Better (03:46) ===

[00:23:39]  Don't listen to him.
[00:23:42]  It's Uncle Dave.
[00:23:42]  You know how he gets.
[00:23:44]  You ever see that?
[00:23:45]  They forget the whole thing.
[00:23:47]  Like it never happened.
[00:23:49]  You got that?
[00:23:50]  You got that?
[00:23:52]  That's our news today.
[00:23:53]  That's what's going on.
[00:23:54]  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.
[00:24:09]  Maybe attention deficit issues perhaps?
[00:24:12]  Also no history?
[00:24:15]  And there's also another group of people too.
[00:24:20]  And you might know these and some of you are here.
[00:24:23]  Let me give you an example.
[00:24:25]  Do you know years ago they would make these claims?
[00:24:29]  They would say that people who used Who experimented, let's say, with marijuana were likely to later on become addicted to heroin.
[00:24:43]  Now, when you heard this, they called it a gateway drug.
[00:24:47]  You do this and you will just get pulled into that current into heroin.
[00:24:54]  When, in fact, they were confusing that with correlation.
[00:24:58]  There's correlation and cause.
[00:24:59]  Two completely different things.
[00:25:01]  You see the idea of finding somebody who said, Hey Dave, you were a heroin addict.
[00:25:06]  I sure was.
[00:25:07]  20 years, but I'm sober.
[00:25:09]  I'm clean and good for you.
[00:25:10]  Congratulations.
[00:25:11]  By the way, you were injecting?
[00:25:14]  I sure was.
[00:25:16]  Did you ever use marijuana?
[00:25:18]  Oh, no way.
[00:25:19]  No, no, no.
[00:25:20]  Drew the line there.
[00:25:21]  No way.
[00:25:22]  Uh-uh.
[00:25:23]  No.
[00:25:24]  And that's unlikely.
[00:25:25]  Somebody who would say, Yeah, injecting something?
[00:25:27]  Yeah, I'll do that.
[00:25:28]  But pot?
[00:25:29]  No.
[00:25:29]  You would think somebody who would, Not in a gateway transition, but somebody who would experiment.
[00:25:35]  Maybe drink beer.
[00:25:37]  Let me get into it.
[00:25:39]  I was also into sports, and I liked cartoons, and mother's milk, and I was homeschooled.
[00:25:46]  Those aren't connectors.
[00:25:48]  Those are just aspects.
[00:25:53]  It's just like when you use a drug and you say, in this control sample, sample A is a control.
[00:25:58]  We've given them a placebo.
[00:26:00]  We have ten people there.
[00:26:02]  They have this disease.
[00:26:04]  We gave them this placebo.
[00:26:07]  Sugar water.
[00:26:09]  In this group, we gave them the substance that we're trying to test.
[00:26:14]  And out of the ten people, five people, five got better.
[00:26:19]  But out of the placebo, four people got better.
[00:26:23]  Wait a minute.
[00:26:25]  How did that work?
[00:26:26]  I don't know, but we've got to get to the bottom of that.
[00:26:29]  Some of you would say, aha, it works.
[00:26:32]  Why?
[00:26:32]  Well, five got better.
[00:26:33]  Did you hear what I said?
[00:26:35]  Yeah, I did.
[00:26:36]  Four people in the other group got better also.
[00:26:39]  Oh, yeah.
[00:26:41]  I asked somebody, I said, does prayer work?
[00:26:43]  Yes.
[00:26:44]  How do you know that?
[00:26:48]  Do you apply any kind of thinking to that?
[00:26:49]  I mean, it could very well be.
[00:26:50]  I'm not saying it doesn't, but do you have any reason?
[00:26:52]  Well, why do you think crime rates go up?
[00:26:55]  Why is there more crime at night?
[00:26:57]  Then during the daytime, think about it.
[00:26:59]  People will just answer the question.
[00:27:01]  And that's one thing that you do.
[00:27:03]  You just answer questions.
[00:27:05]  Well, you've got to understand history and statistics and that sort of thing.
[00:27:08]  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?

=== Firing And Pizza Delivery (06:41) ===

[00:27:20]  Remember Mystery Science Theater?
[00:27:22]  I love that.
[00:27:23]  Remember those little creatures that got with the...
[00:27:27]  I would be standing probably inside of something.
[00:27:31]  See this one right here?
[00:27:32]  Has no idea what she's talking about.
[00:27:34]  They're just doing whatever it is.
[00:27:36]  They're just saying things.
[00:27:37]  This doesn't matter.
[00:27:38]  This is...
[00:27:39]  But if I say, now here's what's important.
[00:27:42]  This is what you should know.
[00:27:43]  This is what's critical.
[00:27:45]  Nobody would want to listen to my news program.
[00:27:48]  I said, okay, by the way, we're going to get rid of all these.
[00:27:50]  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.
[00:27:56]  Oh, no.
[00:27:57]  No, no, no, no.
[00:27:59]  Yes.
[00:27:59]  Oh, no.
[00:28:04]  Don't you want to talk?
[00:28:04]  Well, maybe I'll talk about it.
[00:28:06]  No, I don't want to talk about it.
[00:28:08]  Really?
[00:28:09]  Okay, well.
[00:28:11]  But don't you think it helps people if they understand?
[00:28:13]  They're not going to understand.
[00:28:15]  They're not going to pay attention.
[00:28:16]  Yeah, but don't you think it makes it?
[00:28:17]  No.
[00:28:17]  They're not going to understand.
[00:28:18]  They're not going to get it.
[00:28:20]  This is the best one ever.
[00:28:26]  This is what you'll never see on any news show in this country.
[00:28:29]  A map.
[00:28:29]  A globe.
[00:28:31]  A globe.
[00:28:31]  And the little, get the right arc here.
[00:28:34]  These are the seasons.
[00:28:35]  You've got to turn it to the side.
[00:28:36]  These are the seasons.
[00:28:37]  But they don't get it.
[00:28:40]  You don't understand.
[00:28:42]  This means nothing.
[00:28:44]  Remember geography in school?
[00:28:46]  It was so much fun.
[00:28:48]  I fell in love with Tunisia.
[00:28:49]  I loved the fly.
[00:28:50]  When I was a kid, it was a great school.
[00:28:51]  I loved the hobby.
[00:28:54]  I did a report on it.
[00:28:55]  I used to do reports.
[00:28:56]  I love reports.
[00:28:57]  I loved them.
[00:28:58]  It was great.
[00:28:59]  I learned independent study, autodidact.
[00:29:04]  This is important.
[00:29:06]  Because here's the thing right here.
[00:29:08]  This is our group.
[00:29:09]  Right here, look.
[00:29:10]  Look at us.
[00:29:11]  This is our side.
[00:29:13]  Not very complicated.
[00:29:15]  There's us.
[00:29:16]  Canada at the top.
[00:29:17]  There's Mexico and South America.
[00:29:19]  That's it!
[00:29:20]  Now, here's the rest of the world.
[00:29:23]  Wow!
[00:29:25]  Wow!
[00:29:26]  Look at that!
[00:29:27]  Look at all the colors and the countries and oh my god!
[00:29:30]  See, that explains everything.
[00:29:33]  That changes your frame of reference.
[00:29:37]  That changes your frame of reference.
[00:29:38]  Did you ever talk to somebody from Europe?
[00:29:40]  They have passports.
[00:29:41]  Dig over here.
[00:29:42]  They drive two hours, they're in France.
[00:29:44]  They go over here, they're in Spain.
[00:29:46]  They travel, they fly, they're into countries and currencies maybe and languages and food and they're wonderful.
[00:29:57]  What do we do in our country?
[00:29:58]  We don't travel.
[00:29:59]  No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:30:02]  And throw that into the mix.
[00:30:05]  How do you explain somebody the history?
[00:30:09]  How do you explain?
[00:30:13]  Have you asked somebody, what do you think about the Uyghurs, for example?
[00:30:17]  They don't know what you're talking about.
[00:30:19]  Where are they?
[00:30:21]  Did you check this?
[00:30:23]  No.
[00:30:24]  Okay.
[00:30:25]  How about this story?
[00:30:27]  This one gets me.
[00:30:29]  Boy, a lot of people aren't showing back to work.
[00:30:31]  I've got a couple of friends.
[00:30:33]  One has a big, big accounting.
[00:30:36]  Another one is an institutional finance place.
[00:30:38]  And their workers are not coming back to work.
[00:30:41]  They're not coming back to work.
[00:30:43]  And I ask the question, why are they coming back to work?
[00:30:46]  I don't know.
[00:30:47]  Well, are you firing them?
[00:30:49]  No.
[00:30:50]  Why aren't you firing them?
[00:30:52]  We can't.
[00:30:53]  Why not?
[00:30:54]  What is their incentive to come back if you don't fire them?
[00:30:58]  I don't understand this.
[00:30:59]  Well, I don't know.
[00:31:00]  Wait a minute.
[00:31:01]  You mean you're not firing them?
[00:31:04]  No.
[00:31:06]  I don't understand any of this.
[00:31:10]  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.
[00:31:22]  We don't want to travel.
[00:31:23]  Maybe we're afraid.
[00:31:25]  Maybe we're weary.
[00:31:29]  Have you seen this?
[00:31:30]  Have you ever seen this?
[00:31:33]  It's all over the place.
[00:31:35]  Big industries.
[00:31:37]  We're not showing up.
[00:31:38]  You're not showing up.
[00:31:40]  What if you had a pizza joint?
[00:31:42]  What if you had Domino's Pizza?
[00:31:43]  What if a delivery?
[00:31:43]  And you said, my delivery people aren't showing up.
[00:31:45]  What are you going to do?
[00:31:46]  Well, they want to work from home.
[00:31:47]  You can't work from home.
[00:31:50]  You're fired.
[00:31:53]  Well, I don't know.
[00:31:54]  I'm not sure.
[00:31:56]  What do you mean you're not sure?
[00:31:57]  Well, we can't find, you know, traitors and they just won't come in.
[00:32:02]  They're not.
[00:32:03]  Did you tell them you're going to be fired?
[00:32:08]  Okay.
[00:32:09]  And when you go someplace and they ask this person, where did you work before?
[00:32:14]  You're going to mention me.
[00:32:16]  They're going to call me, but I'm going to say, he never showed up.
[00:32:20]  But maybe that's different.
[00:32:21]  I don't know.
[00:32:22]  I don't understand any of this.
[00:32:23]  Throw that into the mix.
[00:32:26]  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?
[00:32:34]  Oh, he's not coming in anymore.
[00:32:35]  Why?
[00:32:36]  He doesn't want to.
[00:32:37]  He wants to do it from home in his pajamas.
[00:32:39]  What?
[00:32:41]  Where's Doc Mendelsohn?
[00:32:43]  He's not coming in anymore.
[00:32:44]  Why?
[00:32:44]  He wants to work from home.
[00:32:46]  He's a doctor.
[00:32:47]  I got this rash.
[00:32:49]  Well, can you send him a picture?
[00:32:50]  No, I can't send him a picture.
[00:32:51]  Go to the emergency room.
[00:32:52]  Where is this?
[00:32:56]  Where is everybody?
[00:32:57]  They're not here.
[00:33:01]  I know I'm saying too much, and I know I'm giving you too much to think about.
[00:33:05]  I realize that.
[00:33:07]  And I have to ask myself sometimes, why am I doing this?
[00:33:10]  Why am I doing this?
[00:33:12]  Here's one thing.
[00:33:13]  When I talk about food supply and food emergencies, sometimes I get that look too.
[00:33:18]  Like my Patriot Supply, Prepare with Lionel.
[00:33:20]  I said, what are you going to do in the event of a...
[00:33:22]  Let's just assume there's a food emergency.
[00:33:25]  A what?
[00:33:26]  A food emergency.
[00:33:29]  Why is there a food emergency?
[00:33:30]  Why is there ever an emergency?
[00:33:32]  Well...
[00:33:35]  I don't know.

=== Fine People Compilation (06:04) ===

[00:33:37]  Do you have a thought about it?
[00:33:38]  No.
[00:33:40]  What would you do in case of...
[00:33:41]  You're not alert, are you?
[00:33:44]  I mean, alarm, I should say.
[00:33:45]  I'm not alert either.
[00:33:46]  You're not alarm.
[00:33:46]  No, I'm not alarm.
[00:33:47]  I don't understand this.
[00:33:48]  This is the part that I don't understand.
[00:33:50]  We have been through so many of these things.
[00:33:54]  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.
[00:34:02]  25-year shelf life.
[00:34:03]  This is not...
[00:34:04]  You know, some bag of, oh look, pretzels.
[00:34:07]  No, no, no, no, no.
[00:34:08]  This is for 90 days.
[00:34:10]  Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, in resealable oxygen-absorbing packets.
[00:34:17]  I mean, it's the most incredible thing in the world.
[00:34:19]  It's a serious food.
[00:34:22]  I don't get it.
[00:34:24]  We went crazy over toilet paper.
[00:34:27]  When there was no need for it.
[00:34:29]  Hey, during COVID, COVID is not a lower GI kind of problem.
[00:34:34]  There's no, you know, you don't have tenesmus.
[00:34:38]  That's a good word for you.
[00:34:40]  You don't have that.
[00:34:41]  Don't worry about it.
[00:34:45]  I don't get it.
[00:34:46]  It's another one of those things.
[00:34:47]  I just don't understand it.
[00:34:50]  People, so listen.
[00:34:52]  Do yourself a favor.
[00:34:54]  Preparewithlionel.com Look at this.
[00:34:56]  And you tell me if this makes any sense.
[00:34:58]  Oh, and by the way, let's also talk about speaking of food.
[00:35:03]  People aren't eating the right food.
[00:35:04]  They're not interested.
[00:35:05]  I like where they come up with, well, you know, I'm on the Neanderthal diet.
[00:35:09]  What is it?
[00:35:10]  Oh, yeah.
[00:35:11]  I eat raw, raw organ meat and salt lick.
[00:35:16]  I lost 12 pounds.
[00:35:18]  I'm on the Neanderthal diet.
[00:35:20]  Really?
[00:35:23]  Oh yeah, I'm an expert on that.
[00:35:25]  See, that's the way we were.
[00:35:27]  See the thing here?
[00:35:30]  We're canines.
[00:35:31]  We're meant to eat meat.
[00:35:32]  You think that's what that means?
[00:35:33]  Yeah, of course.
[00:35:34]  Okay.
[00:35:35]  And they're just all of a sudden, remember, turmeric.
[00:35:39]  Oh my God.
[00:35:41]  I gotta get that.
[00:35:43]  Look at my cayenne capsules.
[00:35:45]  That's the biggest thing right now.
[00:35:47]  Here's the thing.
[00:35:48]  Here's the weight loss craze.
[00:35:50]  And they jump on this stuff.
[00:35:51]  Okay, fine.
[00:35:52]  It's a free country.
[00:35:53]  But here's one for you.
[00:35:56]  If you're going to try to maintain this thing called your immune system, how about making sure you get enough C?
[00:36:02]  Because you don't even get that.
[00:36:05]  Zinc?
[00:36:05]  You don't get that.
[00:36:07]  Vitamin D?
[00:36:09]  D?
[00:36:10]  Probably not.
[00:36:12]  And certainly sun used to be the usual ways.
[00:36:14]  And any kind of quercetin-like flavonoids and antioxidants?
[00:36:19]  I know you don't get that.
[00:36:21]  I know you don't.
[00:36:22]  You will get B12.
[00:36:24]  That you'll get.
[00:36:25]  By virtue of eating organ meat and things like that.
[00:36:29]  But no, no, no.
[00:36:32]  So here's what you do.
[00:36:33]  ZStack.
[00:36:34]  There's a link right there.
[00:36:35]  You go.
[00:36:36]  50% off ZStack for yourself and your kids and that's it.
[00:36:39]  And just take it and don't worry about it.
[00:36:41]  Just take it.
[00:36:42]  It makes complete sense.
[00:36:43]  Go to the website.
[00:36:44]  Read for yourself.
[00:36:48]  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...
[00:36:56]  I just know how people act.
[00:36:58]  I know what people act.
[00:37:00]  They love to talk to you, talk you out of things, and this isn't important, or they'll make stuff up.
[00:37:08]  They, you know, or within certain groups of people, well, my group, we find this to be the story.
[00:37:14]  Well, I didn't know that.
[00:37:16]  Oh, yeah, we're talking about this.
[00:37:18]  All of my group, and I talk to them, and we kind of feed off of each other.
[00:37:21]  You think this is important?
[00:37:22]  Oh, absolutely.
[00:37:23]  These videos, oh, these videos are this.
[00:37:26]  Well, enjoy yourself, because in three days, it's gone.
[00:37:28]  Remember that.
[00:37:29]  So whatever you see right now, don't worry.
[00:37:33]  Don't worry.
[00:37:34]  Some people say, you know, when I go on vacation, I don't read anything.
[00:37:37]  Well, that's nice, because, but during your vacation, you will have missed all these subjects that will have been forgotten immediately.
[00:37:45]  And that's the way that is.
[00:37:46]  Because we are a very, very sad group of people.
[00:37:49]  And we have groups of people who...
[00:37:51]  We have one group who are the...
[00:37:53]  And they're very interesting.
[00:37:54]  These are the hyper-paranoid groups who believe in things that nobody believes in.
[00:37:58]  Then you have most people who just don't care about anything.
[00:38:02]  Nothing.
[00:38:04]  Nothing.
[00:38:05]  Well, I'm going to sit back and enjoy myself.
[00:38:09]  So here's what it is, my friend.
[00:38:11]  Recognize the balance.
[00:38:13]  Recognize the balance between cognition, forgetting, habituation, processing, and you'll do just fine.
[00:38:21]  You'll do just fine.
[00:38:22]  Just remember that.
[00:38:24]  Don't fight it.
[00:38:25]  Just understand how people are.
[00:38:26]  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.
[00:38:36]  Because basically, I tell them the truth, and people hate the truth.
[00:38:41]  Also, I don't know if you're getting my newsletters, but oh, they are beauts.
[00:38:46]  I may crank one out later, put together a nice little compilation of sorts for all of you fine, fine people.
[00:38:53]  And also, Mrs. L is doing a tremendous job.
[00:38:56]  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.
[00:39:08]  And also, this is her YouTube channel right now.
[00:39:12]  And I want you to go to it and sign up.
[00:39:14]  It is a beaut.
[00:39:15]  Alright?
[00:39:16]  And that's it.
[00:39:17]  And I want you to promise me you have a great and a glorious day.
[00:39:19]  Don't ever change any of that sincerely.
[00:39:21]  Thank you for everything you, not what you've done, but what you've appeared to do.
[00:39:25]  Your ability to pretend to be aware is something that is frankly one for the ages.
[00:39:31]  Don't forget to like this video, subscribe to the channel, and until tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel.
[00:39:36]  Don't forget these.
[00:39:37]  Fateful words.
[00:39:38]  This valedictory, the monkey's dead, the show's over.
[00:39:41]  Sue ya!
