Before we begin, a couple of observations that make... | |
They're of no importance to you. | |
I saw a picture yesterday, the other day, of FDR a day before he died. | |
The day before he died. | |
And he looked almost 80 years old. | |
He looked just withered, drawn, sick, ill, whatever you want to call it. | |
I looked at the date of his death, when he died. | |
He was 63 years old. | |
63. I couldn't believe it. | |
Now there's a story as to why he actually died. | |
Not everybody acknowledges it. | |
It's a fascinating story. | |
It was alleged by some that he was poisoned. | |
I won't go into it right now, but it is a fascinating story. | |
And when I brought this up to a friend of mine recently, I told him this. | |
Up to and including his son, Elliot, with Gromyko and Stalin. | |
And what did my friends say? | |
No! | |
That is what's wrong with this country. | |
As opposed to, ooh, let me read about that. | |
Let me find out about that. | |
No! | |
Stop! | |
No! | |
See how we are? | |
We don't like certain news. | |
We don't like it. | |
So we dismiss it. | |
Or we dismiss the person. | |
I, as an example, am fascinated by how many people who are of the most impeccable of faith Know nothing about the Bible. | |
I have a friend of mine who is absolutely exquisite in terms of his knowledge of Scripture. | |
Biblical tenets can't tell you a thing about the history of the Bible or a review of it in terms of literature. | |
Nothing. | |
It's fascinating to me. | |
I saw a picture of Lincoln. | |
Lincoln, towards the end, towards his, before his untimely demise. | |
Lincoln! | |
He looked just, I mean, the weight, they always say it's the weight, the worry, whatever it is. | |
I don't really believe that. | |
56 years old. | |
It just, I don't know why that's so interesting. | |
Maybe because they're... | |
Closer to my age or whatever. | |
But the point is, I say something and I exhibit a degree of fascination or interest. | |
Other people, they immediately reject it. | |
There's no fun in thinking. | |
There's no fun in thinking. | |
None. | |
None. | |
Nobody... | |
I'm sure you've heard the story. | |
I've heard you, let me see. | |
You've heard of the case of Evan Gershkovich, right? | |
This is the Wall Street Journal journalist. | |
Wall Street Journal journalist. | |
I'm sure you've heard about this. | |
You've heard about the case. | |
He is being held by Russia as a, quote, spy or something to that, the allegations of such. | |
Okay. | |
classic classic um... | |
case. | |
I ask a friend of mine, is there any chance that he could be spying for the CIA? | |
Or providing information? | |
When you say spy, you think of, I don't know what you think of. | |
The answer from an acquaintance body? | |
No. | |
What do you mean? | |
No. | |
Why do you say no? | |
No. | |
Didn't like the idea. | |
Didn't care for it. | |
Didn't like what that suggested. | |
Didn't care for it. | |
No, I don't like that. | |
No. | |
Well, are you aware of what the CIA has said in the past? | |
No, no, I don't know. | |
Move along. | |
Not interested. | |
That's the way we are. | |
We don't like to hear things. | |
I said, but I understand something. | |
Well, what's the difference between him and Julian Assange? | |
Oh, wait a minute. | |
Julian Assange is a different story. | |
Why is he a different story? | |
Why? | |
Well, he just is. | |
He just is, and that's the way. | |
But wait a minute. | |
Don't you want to discuss this? | |
No. | |
Not interested. | |
Not interested. | |
You see where we are? | |
This is it. | |
And the level of discussion today is just... | |
Oh my God. | |
Have you heard anybody give you a full-throated, actual, real review of Trump on Fox News during his latest iteration of it? | |
No. | |
He's either a genius or he's the devil incarnate. | |
There's no in between. | |
The level of... | |
The level of American... | |
Let me just say this to you. | |
The level of American review is without... | |
Have you heard the notion regarding the statistics of the kill ratio of Ukraine to Russia? | |
7 to 1? | |
7 to 1? | |
Did you hear this? | |
What's going on in Ukraine is... | |
The documents, the leaks, what Lloyd Austin is saying, are you hearing this? | |
It's... | |
It's incomprehensible. | |
But if you listen to people who go, oh no, no, you don't understand, no, no. | |
No, no, no, it's been stated that during regular wars... | |
The kill differential has been like 1 to 1.3 or 1 to 1.2 or, you know, this is 7 to 1? | |
What? | |
How about South Korea? | |
We're borrowing weaponry and missiles and armaments. | |
Do you know what's being reported? | |
No. | |
Because you live in a bubble. | |
You live in this little orb. | |
It's where you live in. | |
You live in this. | |
And in this orb, you get the news you want. | |
You get the news you want. | |
And everywhere I go, people just create their own reality, their own inertia. | |
I figure, what are you talking about? | |
Well, you know, Trump, they're going to dismiss this case in Manhattan. | |
No, they're not. | |
No, they're not. | |
He'd most probably be convicted. | |
Wait a minute. | |
Whoa, whoa. | |
I say, excuse me. | |
What are you talking about? | |
I say, me holding up an x-ray. | |
Well, it looks broken to me. | |
Oh, no, you don't. | |
Wait a minute. | |
Hold it, hold it. | |
What do you mean, hold it, hold it? | |
What are you talking about? | |
Do you know what this means? | |
Do you know what's going on here? | |
See, people don't want to hear. | |
There's no thinking. | |
I just did. | |
At LionelMedia.com And on my YouTube channel, my YouTube channel, this is one, but the other one is Lionel Legal. | |
Did you sign up for that yet? | |
Have you done that? | |
Lionel Legal. | |
And there was a story that everyone is talking about. | |
And I think somebody said it to me. | |
I think Fox talked about it and other people are talking about it. | |
It's not just unusual suspects, but I think... | |
Hang on. | |
It was this notion of people using accents. | |
NBC says, does AOC use fake accents? | |
Other people using fake accents? | |
Hillary using fake accents? | |
Is... | |
This notion of this. | |
When can you use a fake accent? | |
And more importantly, when is that accent determined or deemed to be an appropriation? | |
When is it deemed to be an appropriation? | |
When? | |
This is the thing I just did. | |
And it's one of my most... | |
It's a subject that fascinates me to no end. | |
If I imitate someone who is black, if I imitate a black person, am I racist? | |
Now, under today's iteration of such, you would say, yes, of course. | |
Of course. | |
Wait a minute. | |
If I imitate, let's say, Morgan Freeman, Oh, no, wait a minute. | |
That's different. | |
What do you mean that's different? | |
If I imitated Sidney Poitier? | |
If I imitated Barack Obama? | |
Is that okay? | |
No. | |
Do you know what the rule is? | |
See, you never talk about this. | |
Assuming somebody came from another planet, sat down with us right now, and said, let me explain to you the rule. | |
If you as a white person, or non-black, were to imitate Barack Obama, Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, James Earl Jones, their race has nothing to do with it. | |
It's their voice, a particular style. | |
If, however, you were to imitate Al Sharpton, now you're getting into the racist category. | |
What's the difference? | |
And it's so obvious, and I discussed this at Lionel Media. | |
I discuss it, and I explain it to you, and I go through it. | |
And it's not about double standard. | |
No, there are rules to it, because nobody ever sits there and says, let me explain this to you. | |
I asked somebody the other day, what's the difference between killing somebody, murdering somebody, and assassinating them? | |
There was somebody who was found, I don't know, somebody who was found dead or whatever. | |
I said, were they assassinated? | |
They said, oh no. | |
I said, What's the difference? | |
And you can tell, I don't want to get into this. | |
I do. | |
Assassination is normally used in the terms of a political connotation or somebody of note, somebody who's important, somebody who's deliberately killed because of who they are. | |
Right? | |
That's what assassination is. | |
Murder could be anybody killed in a generic. | |
I love to dissect the language of it. | |
They don't want to do this because there's no time for this. | |
But let's go back to this one. | |
Appropriating accents. | |
If AOC decides that she is going to use an accent, a way of speaking, and she's not saying, I appropriate this, this is the way I speak, and it's leeching forward, or through, I should say. | |
Isn't that courtesy? | |
Isn't that courtesy? | |
Wait a minute, what? | |
If I were to go to an AME church or a black Pentecostal church and I were to use my best prototypical black preacher voice I did at a black church and I said, no, no, I want to do this as an honor or as a tribute, I don't think they would appreciate that. | |
I don't think the congregation would. | |
Because it veers, it's too much that when you're kind of, are you mocking this? | |
Oh no, no, I'm not mocking this. | |
Years ago, I used to study, and still do, but to an extent, but I was fascinated by evangelical preachers. | |
My friend and I, who is a judge, we were... | |
Fascinated. | |
We would study this, watch them. | |
Who was our favorite? | |
What did we like? | |
Just in terms of the art form. | |
No other reason. | |
Just the art form of it. | |
And we like Ernest Angely. | |
I was slain in the spirit by him personally twice. | |
Twice. | |
No, no, excuse me. | |
Once, once, once. | |
Pardon me. | |
Once. | |
That's enough. | |
I like David Paul. | |
There were some others. | |
There was a... | |
Reverend James Cleveland. | |
And growing up in the South, on Sunday, you heard the best of the best of the best. | |
The Lefevers. | |
It would be regular gospel. | |
White Baptist Pentecostal. | |
Black churches. | |
Loved them. | |
Went. | |
When I worked for a senator right out of college, during campaign season, we would go through black churches. | |
During campaign season, you'd go with various elected officials. | |
To these wonderful, fascinating, the music, the gospel, if I were to imitate it. | |
So anyway, so one day, I was talking to somebody. | |
And somebody was talking. | |
I don't know what it was. | |
It was somebody mentioned about the church or the revival, whatever. | |
And I said, Praise God! | |
In the name of Jesus! | |
Now, my friend, Heard that and said, that's racist. | |
I said, why is that racist? | |
I said, that's not a black voice. | |
That's a white preacher I'm talking about. | |
Oh, it's not racist. | |
Wait a minute. | |
Isn't it good mimicry? | |
Am I not just being a good mimic? | |
Well, maybe. | |
Why is it racist? | |
I'm not saying anything. | |
I'm not mocking anybody. | |
I'm imitating a voice. | |
And people who listen to it say, oh, I know who that is. | |
Why is that racist? | |
Again, it's that word that doesn't mean anything. | |
It's that word that is used with such frequency that it's... | |
Now, let's talk about this. | |
This is very interesting. | |
And I just did a very exhaustive, fascinating, I think, Review of what is and is not appropriate. | |
Now, if I were to imitate Al Sharpton perfectly and got his voice down perfectly, I promise you it would be called racist. | |
Not because... | |
And if I said, I'm not doing anything, it's because it's a Rorschach test, because they think... | |
That particular style of voice is demeaning. | |
It's a Rorschach test on them. | |
If I interviewed James Earl Jones, they would say, well, that's... | |
Well, I'm imitating a black man. | |
Yeah, but that's okay. | |
Oh, oh, oh. | |
So it's the... | |
Wait a minute. | |
So it's not black people or black men or black women or anybody. | |
It's the style that I'm doing? | |
Really? | |
And why is that a problem? | |
They're telling you they think That is a problem form of speech. | |
If I were to imitate for you, if I were to go on TV and I did a Dylan Mulvaney imitation, did his voice perfectly, the fluctuation in voice, the timbre, the lilt, the volume, the presentation, nailed it. | |
They would say, That is transphobic. | |
Why? | |
Translation, I don't like this. | |
I think there's something... | |
Now, if I were to do Caitlyn Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner sounds like Bruce Jenner. | |
There's no change whatsoever. | |
Whatsoever. | |
I don't hear any... | |
You listen to Caitlyn Jenner? | |
Maybe in terms of age, listen to Bruce Jenner, there's no whatever... | |
Why is that not transphobic? | |
Well, that's because what you're telling me is that you don't like that particular type of sound. | |
Now, who gets away with this? | |
I don't know. | |
Here's one that is the greatest, one of the greatest performances in the history, in the history of movies, and that was Robert Downey Jr., Tropic Thunder. | |
Who agrees with me? | |
Sheer genius. | |
Joe Rogan has talked with Downey. | |
A number of black commentators, he said, it was so good, we didn't, it was just brilliant. | |
But why wasn't it racist? | |
Is it because he's a leftist and the leftists look out for themselves? | |
What is it, how does that work? | |
Well, what's the reason? | |
It was brilliant. | |
It was brilliant. | |
And the premise of it, it was incredible. | |
It's just, it was perfect. | |
His advice to Ben Stiller about going full, can't even say these words now, can't say those words, can't even quote the movie, but you know what I'm talking about. | |
And it was brilliant. | |
And we understood it. | |
Everybody got it. | |
And Robert Downey Jr. was a genius for that. | |
It reminded me almost of, this is a white man playing a black character, playing a white, he's Australian. | |
I don't even know what, it's been a while since I've seen it. | |
It reminds me of Victor Victoria, a man playing a woman, playing a man, playing a woman. | |
But it got a pass! | |
And it was okay! | |
And I don't know why. | |
If Mel Gibson did it, Or somebody who did not politically line themselves, I would venture to say they would not be as appreciated in terms of the art form. | |
Do you agree with me? | |
That's the way it is. | |
Here's my favorite of all time. | |
Gotta pass. | |
Nobody said anything. | |
Fred Armisen imitating former governor, lieutenant governor and governor, David Patterson. | |
Blind black. | |
Not blackface per se. | |
Everything else. | |
No, this is so weird. | |
Do not touch the skin. | |
A wig, these are the rules, will let you go with a wig, maybe. | |
You put anything on your skin, that's it. | |
You're done. | |
You're finished. | |
No. | |
I don't care if it's a light in your skin. | |
It doesn't matter. | |
If, unless you're the Wayans brothers, then if you're two white chicks, Different story. | |
If you're Eddie Murphy and you play a Jewish man, white, that's okay. | |
But if you're white in this country and you do any, you put any kind of pigment, makeup, with the intention of the plant of imitating or pretending to be somebody who's not, you're dead, you're doomed, you're finished, you're through, that's it. | |
It's the end of the end of discussion. | |
Okay? | |
But Fred Armisen... | |
On SNL, not only imitated a black man, but a blind man. | |
Where he would walk out on the set. | |
He was obviously lost. | |
He'd walk up to the camera. | |
Obviously he's blind. | |
So they're mocking blind people. | |
Gotta pass. | |
Why? | |
I don't know. | |
I think we know, but this is the insincerity of this. | |
This is the schizoid And try writing the rules down. | |
Try writing it down. | |
So, AOC does a kind of a Latina sound, Latinx, or Latinx. | |
I don't know how you want to pronounce that. | |
Hillary Clinton says, A-I-A, no, I don't know what that is. | |
She did this one time. | |
She also did, Hillary Clinton did, I'm not Tammy Wanda and I'm going to stand by your man. | |
Okay, well, that's different. | |
You notice these rules? | |
That's okay because you're playing Obama. | |
Barack Obama goes through these incredible evangelical lilts and then back down. | |
Whatever. | |
That's okay. | |
It's a pass. | |
So everybody apparently has done it one way or another. | |
Now, it gets very interesting. | |
If I all of a sudden, if somebody speaks, In a way that is accepted by a particular group of people. | |
If somebody were to go up and they were of Italian-American, let's say New York, if somebody says, hey, forget about it, you know, hey, got it, you know. | |
Somebody were to create a rather affected Italian-American posture, hey, that's okay, that's okay, that's okay. | |
That's alright, because maybe, you know what I mean, that's okay. | |
But if I said, it's so wonderful to be here today with my fellow, with this great Latin American community, because to me, I think that these guys, wait a minute, hold it, stop. | |
What are you doing? | |
I'm imitating, it's an accident. | |
No, no, you're imitating somebody who can't speak English. | |
But I'm doing it with love. | |
It doesn't matter what you love, you're doing it. | |
You can't do that. | |
But that's an accent. | |
No, that's not an accent. | |
That's... | |
You don't speak English. | |
Well, what do you think an accent is? | |
No, that's not an accent. | |
And then we'll parse it. | |
You see where we are right now? | |
But there are these rules. | |
You know what I say. | |
Smells good? | |
Doesn't smell good. | |
That'll pass. | |
That'll pass. | |
I don't know what that is. | |
That's where we are. | |
It's a sniff test. | |
We understand it. | |
And we are completely, without the ability... | |
To make any kind of... | |
We never talk gradations. | |
We never talk gradations. | |
And I want to talk about spies. | |
And I want to talk about how these things work. | |
I'm going back to this one. | |
This is the part that I don't understand. | |
Evan Gerskovich. | |
I want him back with his family. | |
That's it. | |
That's what I want. | |
But they say he's a spy. | |
Russia says he's a spy. | |
America says no, he's not. | |
America says we're not going to... | |
Julian Assange is a spy. | |
Wait a minute. | |
Julian Assange is not a spy. | |
Yes, Julian Assange is a spy. | |
We want to teach that son of a... | |
What did Julian Assange do that Ellsberg didn't do? | |
The Supreme Court already spoke to that. | |
Pentagon Papers. | |
We don't care about that. | |
Yeah, but you... | |
Release him. | |
No. | |
What about Gerskowitz? | |
That's different. | |
Why is it different? | |
Because we say it's different. | |
We say it's different. | |
Here's something interesting. | |
When you have someone, when you have someone, and this is important, notice how fast the United States, how fast they respond. | |
You know Paul Whelan, the U.S. Marine? | |
Eh. | |
Is he a spy? | |
People say, is he a spy? | |
No. | |
Why? | |
Well, nobody there don't care about him. | |
You hear anything about him? | |
No. | |
I don't know what even... | |
Do you know what his story is? | |
His story? | |
He is sentenced to 16 years of hard labor, supposedly, for being arrested on suspicion of spying. | |
Brittany Griner, different story! | |
She wasn't, obviously, a spy. | |
She wasn't a spy. | |
But it's just weird. | |
What did she do? | |
Well, she's a... | |
I don't think she's transsexual, but she's a lesbian or transsexual or gay or whatever. | |
And she broke their laws regarding marijuana, vaping, whatever. | |
She's got to come back. | |
Waylon? | |
Eh, don't care about him. | |
Wait a minute. | |
What? | |
Gerskovich, you come back. | |
You don't. | |
Why? | |
Wait a minute. | |
What's going on here? | |
Nobody will discuss that with you. | |
Nobody wants to. | |
And you'll never hear it on Fox News in particular because, right, too much heavy lifting. | |
Too much heavy lifting. | |
That won't be on Waters World because it has to pass the third grade test. | |
If a third grader can understand something, same thing for CNN. | |
It's got to be so easy, so simple. | |
Let's talk about the genius of Elon Musk. | |
How about him destroying? | |
NPR. | |
Isn't that wonderful? | |
BBC. | |
Wasn't that great? | |
Elon Musk. | |
Wasn't he wonderful? | |
This is just... | |
Oh my God. | |
He had discussed his running Twitter and interviewed with the BBC reporter. | |
He goes, well, it's hate speech. | |
Well, can you think of anything? | |
No. | |
That was beautiful. | |
This is the old rule of trial law. | |
Don't ever ask a question you don't know the answer to. | |
I say don't ask a question. | |
I don't know what you're asking a question. | |
Especially cross-examination. | |
You don't ask anybody anything. | |
You tell them in the form of a question. | |
Elon Musk is brilliant. | |
And they don't know what to do with this. | |
They don't know what to do with this. | |
It is beyond... | |
Then we'll talk about Nord Stream. | |
Anybody want to talk about that? | |
No. | |
No. | |
Cy Hirsch? | |
No. | |
Not interesting. | |
No, no. | |
The fruit's not hanging low enough. | |
It's got to be very simple. | |
Very, very simple. | |
Very, very simple. | |
Want to talk race? | |
Oh, yeah, yeah, race. | |
Race is good. | |
Race is always interesting. | |
They love race. | |
Nothing else. | |
They love race. | |
Race is a... | |
Race is the... | |
It never... | |
Ever, ever gets old. | |
We love race. | |
We just, it can't get enough of it. | |
When it's okay, when it's not. | |
The double standard. | |
Oh, that's my favorite. | |
Well, how come you can say the N-word, but I can't say the N-word? | |
Why do you want to say the N-word? | |
Well, I don't want to say the N-word. | |
Well, what are you complaining about? | |
Well, I just wanted to. | |
That's the story. | |
Number one. | |
Number one. | |
Oh my God. | |
It's it. | |
It's it. | |
Racism and thinking about racism. | |
Oh my God. | |
It was so... | |
It's a fascinating story. | |
Did you hear this one? | |
This is another story. | |
This is a story which is so interesting. | |
Let me see. | |
There is a news story about a week ago. | |
Okay. | |
A New York City bill will prohibit weight discrimination. | |
Did you see this? | |
Organizers braved the snow... | |
Hang on. | |
Excuse me. | |
Excuse me. | |
No, that's not it. | |
That's not it. | |
Yes, this was in March. | |
This was in March, but yes. | |
This was a prohibited discrimination on the basis of a person's height or weight in opportunities for employment, housing, or access to public accommodations. | |
Tens of millions of people are discriminated unjustly because of their appearance, whether it's because of their height, weight, or hairstyle. | |
Body shaming denies people unnecessary, even life-saving medical... | |
I don't know how this works, but... | |
End discrimination by improving legal protections and shifting cultural narratives about body size through education, advocacy, and corporate social responsibility. | |
Okay. | |
This is the subject that people absolutely do not want to get into. | |
They want to talk about it. | |
But not really. | |
Why? | |
Because most people in this country are fat. | |
Fat, overweight, BMI, over... | |
Obesity today is through the roof. | |
You know it, I know it, everybody knows it, but nobody wants to do anything about it because we just... | |
Now there are other folks, depending upon different factions and... | |
Idiosyncrasies and cultural norms and cultural demographics who believe that full-bodied BBW, whatever, this is full, this is the way I am, this looks good. | |
Okay. | |
To be discriminated against because of your weight, when weight has nothing to do with your job? | |
Absolutely not. | |
No, whatever discrimination is. | |
I don't know what that means, but I think we can start with this premise. | |
Doesn't that make sense? | |
I think so, too. | |
Understand that? | |
What if it's being a jockey? | |
Well, wait a minute, that's different. | |
Then it's kind of related. | |
Really? | |
Really? | |
Wait a minute. | |
You're saying, let me get this straight. | |
That you could understand somebody not being allowed to be a jockey because they're, let's say, 100 pounds overweight? | |
Yes. | |
Because they're something genetically, or not genetically, but morphologically different? | |
Yes. | |
But playing on sports if you're a male, that's different. | |
Okay. | |
I'm trying to follow this, but go ahead. | |
How about this? | |
Let's assume you are 8 feet tall. | |
You are 8 feet tall. | |
Right? | |
8. Feet tall. | |
Eight. | |
And you want to go to an airplane. | |
And you're sitting there and this eight foot tall person is walking and you're saying, oh no, please, no, no, no. | |
Not next to me. | |
No, please, no. | |
Because you hate eight people? | |
No. | |
No. | |
You hate tall people? | |
No. | |
Why? | |
Because you're in a plane. | |
You're like this. | |
What if you say, oh no, please, don't do this. | |
No, no, keep going, keep going, keep going. | |
Does that make you a hateful person? | |
No. | |
No. | |
Not at all. | |
Not in the least. | |
Not in the least. | |
Isn't that something? | |
But yet, if you say something, depending on the crowd, Okay. | |
Let's say somebody comes in, not 8 feet tall, but extremely obese. | |
Sorry to say it. | |
For 500 pounds. | |
Big. | |
Not just a little, but big. | |
Having a hard time even, I'm sorry, just hypothetically. | |
And you're sitting there going, oh please, don't sit next to me. | |
Are you saying don't sit next to me because you hate black people? | |
Not black people. | |
Or fat people? | |
No. | |
Or white people? | |
Or anybody? | |
No. | |
No. | |
You're saying it because you're realizing, I don't have enough room. | |
Did you ever sit in a theater? | |
Broadway theater? | |
You're wondering, where were these seats ever... | |
I'm not exactly Lou Alcindor here, and I'm thinking to myself, this is incredible. | |
Where were these people in 1905 when they made this? | |
What is this? | |
Is that fat shaming? | |
No. | |
Is that... | |
But if you say, I'm sorry, excuse me, I can't sit next to you. | |
Excuse me. | |
No, no. | |
It's nothing about you. | |
It's the fact that you sleep. | |
Excuse me. | |
You know what Andre the Giant did? | |
I'm not going to go into it now because this is the family show, but Andre the Giant, when he traveled to Japan or whatever on planes, he couldn't go into, he could not go into the bathroom. | |
So if Andre had to relieve himself on a plane, I might even go into detail. | |
How they did this, I have no idea. | |
When Andre would go into a hotel room, he couldn't use the toilet. | |
He couldn't sit in the toilet. | |
No way. | |
I'm not going to tell you what he had to do. | |
Because it's a family show. | |
He had to make incredible accommodations. | |
I don't know how he did it. | |
Making accommodations is one thing. | |
But let's go a step further. | |
Let's assume that I am in, I have a, A disease. | |
A neurological disease, or I go like this a lot. | |
Just work with me. | |
I don't know what it is. | |
It's a tick. | |
And an elbow, as you know, is very, very strong, compact, very difficult to shatter. | |
Hands. | |
You want to hit somebody in the face with your hands? | |
What, are you kidding me? | |
You get that boxers. | |
No, here. | |
Well, this is the best. | |
Now, if somebody's like this, in an airplane, you don't think somebody would say, excuse me, I can't sit next to this person. | |
Why? | |
Because he's hitting me. | |
You're handiphobic. | |
No, I'm not. | |
Do you see where this goes? | |
How do you decide and define... | |
The line of when weight matters, when height matters, when girth matters, when physical limitations matter, let's assume you had a neurological disorder in which you would yell or bark, not Tourette's per se, but you were prone to coprolalia. | |
You would yell inappropriately, which is terrible. | |
Do you think a Broadway play would say, excuse me, you can't come in here? | |
Why? | |
Because these people are paying three, four, five hundred dollars more sometimes for a ticket and you cannot be... | |
You're handy... | |
I'm not handy phobic or whatever you call it. | |
Do you understand that? | |
Where is the sliding scale? | |
Where does this fit? | |
So if you think about it, when is an accent an accent? | |
When is it racist? | |
When is it inappropriate? | |
When do all these things... | |
How does this even work? | |
This is what I want you to know. | |
And think about it. | |
I find it fascinating. | |
And I promise you, you will not hear this on Waters World or on Rachel Maddow. | |
Nobody. | |
Nobody. | |
It's the greatest story. | |
I love the gradations. | |
Forget it. | |
Now let me talk to you about something which is very important. | |
And I'm going to say it again for you. | |
What are you going to do, not if, but when, there are food shortages? | |
Serious food shortages. | |
Don't tell me, no, come on, you're kidding me. | |
You're kidding me. | |

You're telling me that there's going to be no food shortages today? | |

This is in our section here. | |
ZStack. | |
I love this. | |
I love this. | |
I mean, I see these. | |
I swear to you, when I see folks walking around with a mask on, I'm thinking to myself, what are you, what are you, especially driving by themselves in the car. | |
I don't know what that's about. | |
But I'm saying one of the things that's so important is that what about your immune, what about your body's ability to, do you know how many diseases, how many things are quelled, quashed, and destroyed by virtue of your immune system? | |
This is something you've got to keep bolstered at all times. | |
Z-Stack is incredible. | |
Look at it. | |
Go to my link. | |
Just right there. | |
Go to it. | |
Z-Stack. | |
What is it? | |
What is it? | |
It is vitamin C, ascorbic acid. | |
Come on, line this Pauling to the math. | |
People love vitamin C. They just know. | |
They just know. | |
I'm getting sick. | |
Take vitamin C. Okay. | |
Sure. | |
Zinc. | |
Vitamin D3. | |
I take D3 every single day. | |
I don't care where you live. | |
I don't care how much sun you get. | |
I don't care anything about that. | |
Believe me. | |
It is a miracle. | |
It's really a hormone, if anything else. | |
And there's a joke there, which I'm not going to go into. | |
And finally, quercetin. | |
The flavonoids. | |
Read Gregor. | |
Listen to what they've said about why things are green, why things are dark green, why berries are important. | |
What is it? | |
Why is that so critical? | |
By virtue of how it affects the endothelium. | |
This is the magic carpet inside your vasculature. | |
This is it. | |
So ZStack, just go there, look at the link, get some. | |
I'd be so happy. | |
And finally, we're a member of the EMP Club, the Electromagnetic Pulse Club. | |
Why? | |
We're the only people who know anything about it. | |
Nobody really knows anything about it. | |
But I'm telling you, I'm telling you, if I... | |
Remember, I've been through hurricanes here, COVID, and when there are blackouts, The other day we had somebody who said, we were at a wonderful little library. | |
And our friend said, yeah, we haven't been here for a long time. | |
Well, we came here during Sandy or one of the hurricanes to charge our phones or something. | |
It wasn't even about the library. | |
It was about to use. | |
People here were charging. | |
I need power. | |
If you don't have power, if something... | |
If all of a sudden... | |
Not only not available, but everything's fried. | |
What's protecting? | |
Do you have one of those little strips? | |
Do you have, where you plug in all your, oh, that'll help people in case of a power surge. | |
Yeah, we're talking about a power surge, you're right. | |
We're talking about an electromagnetic pulse surge, a Carrington event class. | |
That'll just take everything out. | |
Go to EMP Shield. | |

So my friends, I would love to discuss more of this with you, but as you know, people don't want to do that. | |
They love this low-hanging fruit stuff. | |
And I don't have time for it. | |
It bores me to no end, and I know they mean well, but it's the same. | |
You know, I don't understand. | |
If I were, and this is probably a stupid statement, but I'm going to say it. | |
Why do you necessarily need a black person to discuss a black issue? | |
Why do you, why? | |
Sometimes the issues are particularized. | |
Handicap discrimination. | |
You talk to somebody from a handicap advocacy group. | |
I understand that. | |
Maybe somebody who is a sports agent. | |
If the subject matter is sports. | |
But it's almost like... | |
Why do you do this? | |
Why do you have to have the obligatory African-American guest to discuss a subject that... | |
Here's what I'm going to say. | |
Have you ever had this person on to talk about the economy? | |
Or entertainment? | |
No. | |
It's always about racial subjects. | |
Is that what you see this very talented person as? | |
Just that? | |
Come on. | |
Please. | |
Use your head. | |
Alright, my dear friends. | |
I want you to have a great day. | |
It's going to be 90 degrees today. | |
90 degrees. | |
And you know what it means to me? | |
Coming from Florida? | |
Nothing. | |
90 degrees is nothing. | |
But they're going crazy. | |
It's going to be 90 degrees! | |
Though it does get a little bit in the city with the concrete and everything. | |
It's a little hotter. | |
But it's like, okay, fine. | |
People get so upset about weather. | |
I do not understand it. | |
But let me ask you something right now. | |
Thank you so much for this. | |
Please don't use fake accents. | |
I've been using fake accents my entire life. | |
I've been using them my entire life. | |
I have... | |
In high school, we just imitated everybody. | |
And I'm going to tell you something right now. | |
The worst people, what you would call transphobes, misogynists, misandrists, racists, whatever, they never say anything to let you know what they think. | |
And I'm telling you, hate that never leaves your mind to me is, Contained in situ. | |
You can hate anybody. | |
You can loathe anybody. | |
You can detest anybody. | |
As long as you don't act upon it. | |
That's all. | |
That's all. | |
Because you're never going to get rid of hate. | |
I just don't want you to act upon it. | |
Individually or through the government. | |
Alright my friends. | |
Have a great and a glorious and a beautiful and a terrific day. | |
Don't ever change. | |
I mean that sincerely. | |
