Good day.
I want to start off with a couple of observations.
I came upon this the other day.
And it is a story.
It might be apocryphal.
It's about Einstein.
Whenever you hear anything about Einstein, you can always guarantee That it is being somehow distorted in some way.
The particular story.
But it goes something like this.
This is the story.
When Einstein was a teacher at Princeton for a period of time.
He was there for 20 years or something.
The story goes that he was giving the same test.
This is the story.
Over and over and over again.
Never changed it.
And that his folks, his fellow professors and the like, said, you know, Al, the students are on to you.
They're not studying because you keep giving them the same questions.
And the same questions.
And they know, and they have it ready, and they are responding to the same questions.
And Albert Einstein, supposedly, or supposedly, as people say, he responded, but you don't understand.
The answers change all the time.
Questions are the same, but the answers change.
What do I want from you, Grasshopper?
What is this about?
What are we doing here?
Is that all there is?
That's the great Peggy Lee saying.
I don't want to sit here and just respond to news stories like so many other very good people do.
They have a podcast.
They have a live stream.
Durham Report.
Let's talk about it.
This and that.
Let's talk about it.
Trump said this.
Let's just react to it.
I want to analyze it.
I want to talk about it.
I want to sit back, hold it up, look at it and say, let's make sure we understand what's going on here.
And I don't think we really understand what's going on.
One of my favorite jokes ever is a very simple one.
And it goes like this.
What's another word for thesaurus?
Now, you either get it or you don't.
It's not a knee slapper.
But the joke obviously involves the fact that a thesaurus is a book of synonyms.
It's where you go to find other names for things.
So what do you call the book of other names?
What other name do you have for a book?
It's kind of circular.
I told that joke for years.
It's not even a joke.
It's just...
And nobody got it.
There was a dictionary.
I'm thinking, is it me?
Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe it's me.
Maybe it's my delivery.
Right?
No.
They didn't get it.
That many people didn't get it.
I thought it was so obvious.
I told you the other day, my mother had this...
We had this line that we loved.
It was so funny.
She said, death sometimes changes people for the worse.
Which just kills me.
Because of the...
Contextual irony, the absurdism.
I told you this one too.
You know why I do this, right?
This.
Money?
No.
This.
Okay.
If I had to explain it to you, I don't know how to tell you this.
I don't know how to tell it to you.
I don't know how to say it.
I don't know how.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But we're going to try.
We're going to try to go through this.
And I just did a brand new, brand new piece, a brand new piece on our channel here to maybe explain to you this Durham report.
And it shows the Durham report reveals systemic FBI criminal corruption.
And also it's called, it's a nothing burger.
And it's also a limited hangout.
And it's so incredibly important for me to explain this to you and point it out to you.
There it is right there.
This is for you so you can watch this.
Now, stepping back.
Stepping back.
What did Durham accomplish?
What?
Well, it's very interesting.
What did Durham accomplish?
We don't really know.
We don't really know and the reason why is because of a couple of things.
First, this is kind of interesting.
We knew everything he was going to say.
Everything he was going to say.
Everything.
Everything he said.
Everything.
We knew.
Isn't that incredible?
Nothing new.
Nothing that he said was a shock.
That's the first thing.
Nothing.
We knew everything about Hillary Clinton.
We knew everything about everybody else.
We knew everything about Peter Strzok.
We knew everything about Carter Page, Papadopoulos, Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, the FISA.
Everything.
Let me say this to you.
Everything.
He revealed nothing.
Stop for a second.
Do you understand what that means?
Do you understand what that means?
Nothing.
Let me see if I can explain it again to you.
It's very important.
Nothing.
He revealed nothing.
Now, right off the bat...
I happened to watch on my phone.
I was watching YouTube.
They had somebody from Fox News.
Fox News has been so gutted, so defanged.
It's incredible.
When you look at what they've done, it's incredible.
Okay?
Seriously.
Incredible.
Unbelievable.
After the Dominion case, After they got rid of Tucker, after everything, after Peter Doocy is, or I guess that's his name, Steve, Steve, I guess, is chiding somebody for being mean to Biden.
It's just incredible.
They are so defanged, so castrated, so impotent as a real, serious, hardcore conservative or whatever.
I mean, I can't believe it.
But anyway, They never brought this up.
They had Andy McCarthy, who was very good.
I think he's one of my favorite reviewers of this, just to review stuff.
But he never brought the fact that this is an investigation that we already knew.
Even the Warren Commission pretended to maybe throw something out like, gee, we don't know.
No!
They knew this.
Everybody knew all of this.
So that's number one.
Nothing happened.
Number two, nobody reacts to it.
Nobody reacts to this.
In 36 hours, maybe a day and a half, gone.
Like it never happened.
Nobody will be prosecuted.
Nobody will be brought to justice.
Nothing.
This is a limited hangout.
I want to read this to you.
And I put this, and it's one of the most important concepts you must understand.
Let me read this to you.
I put a pretty good, very thorough kind of a review from a variety of sources.
Limited hangout is indeed a term used in intelligent circles to describe a specific type of propaganda strategy.
It involves the deliberate release or disclosure of only a partial or a limited amount of information regarding a scandal, criminal act, sensitive data, or classified information.
The purpose of a limited hangout is often to create an impression of transparency or criticism while withholding crucial details or the full extent of the story.
There are several possible intentions behind a limited hangout.
One motive is to establish credibility as a critic of a person or an organization or an event.
Like Durham, he's a critic.
He's a watchdog.
By publicly engaging in criticism while in reality covering up or protecting them by omitting important information or by repeating that which you already know.
This tactic allows the person or entity orchestrating the limited hangout to distance themselves from the subject in question while privately holding sympathies or connections to them.
Remember, you don't become a U.S. attorney for Connecticut and not lose an affiliation to the Justice Department.
You just don't.
But anyway.
Another objective of a limited hangout is to divert public attention from a more severe or egregious act by leaking information about something less significant or harmful.
That's Tucker Carlson.
That's the Twitter files.
By focusing public scrutiny on the relatively minor issue, the intent is to shift attention away from the more serious wrongdoing or misconduct.
Overall, a limited hangout is a strategic information release that aims to manipulate public opinion and perception, obscure the complete truth, or redirect attention.
It is important for individuals to critically assess and seek out comprehensive information to avoid being misled by such tactics.
Do you remember what Daniel Ellsberg was?
Remember what the Pentagon Papers was?
Remember what it was?
We already knew that.
We knew all that.
Pentagon Papers, we knew this.
We knew it.
He didn't tell you anything he didn't know.
Rand Corporation stuff, nothing.
Oh, it might be a name or something you don't know, but nobody, there's no, there's no, no, nothing.
Nothing.
It never, it never happened.
But nobody knew this.
That's the first thing.
Second, no prosecutions.
No, nothing.
He's using terms like, well...
And I love the way they say, well, you know, this is really going to, this really shows a revelation of so much.
Let me explain to you.
This doesn't have any, this has no, what am I trying to say?
This has no corollary in recent or Relatively recent history.
Nothing.
Now, I come from a...
I'm so lucky I was born when I was.
During Watergate, Johnny Carson had on Rich Little, and Rich Little would do imitations of the various senators.
Ed Gurney from Florida, he would do so many, so many...
Watergate was it captivated the country.
Dick Cavett used to have Watergate actual sometimes some of the Watergate actors on his show.
It was so important.
It was so entertainment and current events were so enmeshed.
It was incredible.
Watergate Vietnam I mean, really good stuff.
Today, we have the illusion of discussion.
Shorts.
Why are shorts so important?
To get you used to knowing nothing.
Just, boop!
That's all you need to know.
That will satisfy you.
Boop!
And pretty soon, it'll be shorter than that.
It wouldn't be called shorts.
It'll be called short.
That's it.
Next.
Boop.
Do you want to get to the boop?
Wait a minute.
Hold this.
Stop.
Boop.
Stop doing that.
Boop.
Wait a minute.
We're not done.
Next story.
Afghanistan.
Boop.
We pulled out of Afghanistan.
Boop.
This is...
I was reading and reviewing and studying, going back, and just looking at Bernays and Walter Lippmann.
This is the man who gave us the term stereotype.
And what he said about the media.
Listen to this.
I've got to read this for you.
This is so good.
On my private channel, I just did three.
This is Remembering the Genius and Direction of Walter Lippman.
I just did one.
And it works something like this.
What is it?
Walter Lippman was a journalist and a writer.
And I think he won two Pulitzers.
And he held the view that news and truth are not synonymous.
Now, you might say to yourself, well, that doesn't seem to be that great.
Well, it was a big deal then.
He believed that the function of news is to signalize events, while the function of truth is to uncover hidden facts, establish relationships, and create a comprehensive understanding of reality that can guide human actions.
He emphasized that journalists' versions of truth are subjective and limited by their own construction of reality.
And he gave us this idea, and it may have seemed to you to be pretty, well, that's kind of ordinary.
No, no, this was almost heretical for you to suggest that journalism was incorrect.
And he was being polite.
He was being polite.
Now we don't believe any of it.
There is no journalism.
But what Lipman doesn't understand is if I could bring him back, or if he could look, if I could somehow, see, you don't understand.
When you were around, The people who ran the media were themselves professional journalists.
There were families.
There was the idea of Hearst.
And the Grahams who ran the Washington Post.
And there were others as well.
There were these media folks.
And they were big and they were huge and they did their thing.
We actually had Cronkite and Murrow and oh my god, they were the dashing, during Murrow's time, the dashing war correspondent.
Oh my god.
They seemed professorial.
Many of them were highly educated.
Highly, they were actual members of academicians themselves.
Stuntorian in their delivery.
They were incredible.
Today we have Brian Stelter.
Don Lemon.
Fredo Cuomo.
This is what we have today.
Tucker Carlson.
Though he wasn't really...
He was more of a commentator.
Steve Doocy.
That's where we are today.
So that's number one.
Number two.
The people who own the media own everything.
During Lippman's time, they had people like Mellon, they had people like Carnegie, you know, Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, you know, that kind of Rockefeller and Gilded era.
They had their homes, their cottages, they called them cottages, and Newport, and oh my god, okay, fine.
Well, What's interesting to note as well, which is kind of interesting, today you have people who make their wealth dwarf, or dwarf rather, their wealth.
They're just...
It's not even...
It's not even...
And these are the strangest people who I don't even know if they even appreciate their wealth.
I don't even know what they...
They might have planes.
But they're a bunch of slobs and t-shirts who have no class, no finesse, no nothing.
They're not boulevardiers.
They're not flaneurs.
They're none of that stuff.
They're just kind of, you know.
And basically what they are is they are agents, if you will, for a bigger superstructure, which is kind of like a shadow government.
And they're like the front line, so to speak, of this.
They're the front line of this.
Okay.
Why is this important?
Well, it's important for a number of reasons.
First, and this is critical, you've got to understand that we have a different power structure.
Media mean nothing today.
If you went back to Lippmann's time, you've got individuals who are going to be trying to break down and unpack.
And plumb the depths of this story.
Breaking news.
And this is what I want you to understand.
Point number one, they will get nothing.
They will get nothing.
They will accomplish nothing.
Number two, do you have any idea of what it is of what Trump did for this?
Does anybody have any idea of what Trump does?
No, no, no.
Trump is, he's a lot of people, a lot of things, a lot of people.
But what he does, what he did, which is so interesting, was Trump came along.
And Trump, we never knew.
I never did.
I mean, I knew they wouldn't like him, but I didn't know this.
I didn't know this.
Trump came along.
And did something, it was almost like, I hate to use the vaccine analogy, but it was almost like this virus that entered the system unleashing all the antibodies.
The deep state, the police state, the intel state, the shadow government, the ruling class, these people all surrounded him and wanted to neutralize him.
I don't really know why at first.
I mean, they didn't like them, but they wanted to maybe see if they could do it, enjoy the scrum, teach them a lesson.
It could be a combination of a lot of things.
But just like the body reacts, like the immune system reacts to some whatever, that's what they did.
They came out of nowhere.
And what they did, which is so interesting, what they did was they...
Didn't even care whether you saw what they did or not.
That's the interesting thing.
Let me say this again, and I want you to understand what I'm saying.
Everything that they did, everything, you knew about ahead of time.
Everything.
From the time he, from what they did to Carter Page, to Peter Strzok, to this one, to that one, to you name it.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Everything they did, they told you ahead of time.
This is what we're doing.
They knew it.
You knew about Perkins Coie.
You knew about Fusion GPS.
You knew about this, the Steele memo dossier.
You knew how Hillary Clinton basically concocted a story, paid for a fictional story, almost going to like a...
You know, wag the dog or a screenwriter.
Write this story for me.
Give me a hard copy.
I can say, well, there it is.
There's the Steele dossier.
They didn't even have to pay anybody anything, but it didn't matter.
They wanted to have something.
There is the document.
And that document, which was never vetted, it became the basis for everything.
Right before your eyes.
Watergate was nothing.
It was a fender bender compared to this.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Tell me you grasp this.
They did this to a private citizen and they unleashed the FBI.
And that creepy, weird Peter struck with it.
This guy just...
And the text messages again!
If you're going to be involved in the biggest scandal ever, make sure you don't get a burner phone or maybe just don't text.
Why are you texting?
Did they ever...
He supposedly had this...
Whatever her name was, Paige or whatever her name was.
Did they ever have any romantic connection?
They were always texting each other and...
It...
Unleash the Mueller report.
Two, count them, two impeachments.
They moved in.
Carter Page.
How this guy never sued, I have no idea.
Going to the FISA courts.
Lying to federal judges.
Nobody held in contempt.
I am telling you, and I want you to listen to me, and you're not...
This is like me trying to tell you the joke.
Say me trying to tell you the joke about the, you know, the thesaurus.
It's bigger than anything you can imagine and it's going to be forgotten so fast.
And your guy, your boy, your savior, Durham, told you everything you already knew and his bottom line was, but I don't recommend anything be done.
I just want to let you know what you already knew.
And nobody gets it.
Nobody knows.
It's, it's, I don't know how to tell this to people.
And I'm, and I'm not seeing it.
You're not going to hear it.
You're going to hear them talk about it, but not what it means.
And the public has become so used to this, so habituated to this, they don't react anymore.
They don't care anymore about it.
It's no big deal.
What am I going to do?
The same thing is with AI and AGI.
Forget it.
Don't think people are even remotely, they don't get it.
It's like they don't get the joke.
It doesn't mean anything.
Have you ever had friends of yours...
Have you ever had friends of yours who didn't take a health condition seriously?
And you wonder, why are they doing this?
Why are they doing this?
I have a...
Well, not really a friend, but kind of like a distant...
I kind of know of it.
And this man has a relative who went through a psychotic episode, a schizophrenic episode, had to be hospitalized, and he doesn't understand what this means.
And I'm not about it.
I'm not going to tell him.
But he doesn't understand what it means.
He thought it was like, well, you know, they'll grow out of it.
Wait a minute.
He had to be hospitalized.
The police were called.
He had a full-blown Schizophrenic episode.
With hallucinations and everything.
He's not going to pull out of it.
You don't slip.
It's not like you're diabetic and your numbers go down and you can say, well, my A1C was high but now I'm okay and I've got everything under control.
Yeah, you might have things under control.
But he has no idea.
Never picked up the phone.
Never researched anything.
No idea.
That's what America is.
They have no idea.
None.
And the people, my fellow podcasters and YouTubers and creators, they don't get it either.
They're just going through the motions.
They're just, well, I'm going to do my piece today.
We're going to talk about the Dermot Report.
Well, that's what I do.
That's what I do.
And I'm going to talk about that.
And then I'm going to talk about maybe Trump.
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe...
Something about the border and, you know...
I don't expect people to slit their wrists or to wear a hair shirt or whatever, but nobody gets it.
And I'm sorry to say this, they don't really understand it.
The level of contamination, this putrescent collapse of our system that you're made aware of is beyond anything I've ever seen.
And there's no going back and there's no improvement.
Nothing.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Nothing.
You know why?
Let me ask you.
Do you know why?
Why do you think?
I'm not being negative.
Why do you think?
Why do you think?
I don't think people...
The answer is simple.
We have a different kind of America today.
We have people who have more access to more information and they know nothing.
But more important than that they don't know what things mean.
They don't get the joke.
They answer the question.
What's another word for thesaurus?
Dictionary?
No.
No, that's Well, that's another one.
Yeah, you missed the point.
That's what they do.
They missed the point.
The Durham thing is one of the funniest things.
I think it was Martha McCollum and she's, well, we're here with Andy McCarthy.
Andy said, excuse me, I'd love to walk on the set.
Excuse me, pardon me.
You don't know who I am.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to scare you.
Martha, you don't understand this, do you?
You're asking Andy McCarthy questions here like you've...
Enjoy some kind of revelation.
You do understand there is no revelation, right?
You do understand that.
You do understand this.
Just tell me once.
Tell me, yeah, I get it.
I understand this.
Tell me you understand that this is a person who ran for president who You're just so used to it.
Because you don't like them.
And you work for Fox.
And you had the Dominion lawsuit.
And you're told to kind of, hey, tone it down.
Tone it down.
We're going to sell this place.
Be quiet.
We've got a shareholder's derivative.
Keep it down.
You have no idea what's going on here, dude.
As an American, you don't get this.
People used to think that Richard Nixon, this was a constitutional crisis.
You unleash the entire intelligence sources against an individual and you have a report that basically tells you everything you already knew?
That's like saying the Warren Commission says that Kennedy was shot.
It's like, I knew that!
Well, I just want to let you know.
No, no, that's not...
Remember the 9-11 Commission?
I'm not even going to go there.
I'm not even...
I gave up.
I officially gave up.
America has it.
No interest in that.
No interest in AI, AGI.
No interest in this.
America has interest at the surface level.
Little things.
Especially if somebody's funny looking or if you can make fun of somebody or if you can or if it's real if it's real obvious like Hey, let's look at the border.
Why?
Well, there's B-roll, and we can see it, and it's easy to understand, and I don't have to get off my beanbag chair, and I don't have to do anything, but I'm just staring at this.
And I can talk about that, and then move on.
Or we can talk about Dylan Mulvaney.
That was great.
Very easy.
Very easy.
This is, got it?
Okay.
Bill Mulvaney.
Okay, got it.
That's it.
So the issue that I would tell Walter Lippmann is, here is my issue.
My issue is not explaining it.
We've got so much access to it.
Nobody understands anything.
The American people do not understand this.
Ukraine, forget it.
Don't even begin.
Don't even Begin.
It's unbelievable.
Hillary Clinton forget Hunter.
Hillary got away with I mean, I don't even know what to tell you.
We are a lawless society.
The Constitution doesn't apply to anybody anymore.
We live in this fake world of fake news and fake, you know, and because people hate Trump so much, you can do anything you want to him and nobody cares.
What they did to Trump defies, it's embarrassing, embarrassing.
What they did to this man and are still doing.
Because of this weird fetish that people have, this Trump derangement syndrome, I've never seen anything like it.
So get your fill of the Durham report today, because tomorrow it's done.
It's finished.
Done.
Because Americans don't understand it.
It's too much heavy lifting.
What?
They don't know.
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
I'll never forget one time I was on TV.
When the Higgs boson, the Higgs field was pretty much, remember the Hadron Collider and CERN and all this stuff.
And it was, I'll never forget, there was somebody who was trying to explain, this is one of the most important moments of human existence to determine what is responsible for mass.
The Higgs field.
And no amount of attention was Applied.
None.
Nobody cared.
I would say, do you understand this?
That's my thing.
They called it the God particle.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not it.
The Higgs field, it was like, forget it.
And I realized, forget it.
I remember one time, it was on TV, and I said, Benghazi.
The rebels, this is when people hated Libya.
Didn't know why, because they told you that, well, because Qaddafi is weird looking.
The Sgt. Pepper outfit.
People hated Qaddafi.
Hated him.
Just like Putin hated him.
Evil.
Oh, Erdogan, evil.
Why is he evil?
He's evil.
Bashar al-Assad, evil!
Because he's...
Quit asking me questions.
I'll never forget this.
It was, I think, one of my proudest moments, and nobody cared.
It was an expose that was so good, so earth-shattering, it could have...
I mean, it...
In any other universe, I would have been either crushed, fired, or heralded as the Ellsberg of my time.
I said, this is a place called Benghazi.
They didn't know.
This is the courthouse.
This is the Al-Qaeda flag.
The rebels are Al-Qaeda.
Our rebels that we're promoting are Al-Qaeda.
And the crickets were deafening.
And that's when I realized, wow.
I don't know what I'm worried about.
I don't know what I'm worried about.
During Vietnam, people had maps out.
Where's I-Corrigan?
Where is this?
Okay, Phnom Penh, got it.
Cambodia, got it.
Laos is here.
The Laotian border.
We got Cambodia.
Okay, I got it.
Yeah, Pol Pot.
Okay, here.
People knew it.
Before that, World War II, they had maps.
They didn't have any kind of TV.
Some radio.
Radio news.
But they knew.
They had a magazine once a week and they knew.
They knew where stuff was.
Here?
No idea.
How do we get people To pay attention.
How do I get attention deficit disorder, with all due respect, people, to pay attention?
How do we do it?
I need your help.
You can go right now and you can look at, you can watch so many shows, so many, oh my God, so many.
Podcasts in the morning.
I mean, live, live, live, let's do this, live.
But I'm thinking, that's not it.
How do we get people to understand what it is?
That what this means is, hey, wait a minute.
What are you going to do about this?
No, no, I mean this.
What are you going to do about this?
Hey, Jim Jordan, what are you going to do?
What are we going to do?
Biden, what are you going to do?
Under your watch, your Department of Justice, Is there an Inspector General?
Is there anybody?
Is Merrick Garland?
Are people going to protest?
Is anybody going on TV?
Will anything be said?
No.
Why is that?
Because we just...
No, no, seriously.
Why not?
Why not?
Why?
People never stop talking about Dylan Mulvaney and Budweiser.
I never saw...
I couldn't believe it.
Well, at this bowling alley, Dave, here they are pouring...
Remember Freedom Fries years ago and they would pour out champagne, which is stupid, because I thought, that's not champagne.
You're an idiot.
They're not doing that.
Anyway.
What do we do?
As we speak, our borders are being traversed by people we don't know.
What do we do?
How...
Let me give you a story.
First time I went to Israel, I went with a group called America's Voices in Israel.
It was a bunch of talk radio hosts.
We all went there.
A part of a group.
They got clearances.
We went.
I showed up at the Newark airport.
I walked over to the, about to get to the counter, and this guy comes up to me.
He's with Al Al or something.
He says, excuse me, I want to talk to you for a moment.
I said, yes.
He says, I want you to look at me because I'm trained to detect deception.
I swear to God, look into my eyes.
I'm not kidding you.
He said that to me.
Okay.
Where are you going?
I said, I'm going to to Israel.
Where?
I said, well, I don't really have the itinerary.
I said, you see that lady over there?
She brings People on tour, she knows, you want to talk to her?
No, I'm going to talk to you.
You want to talk to me?
How long are you going to be there?
I said, I think four days.
I think.
You might want to talk to her.
No, I'll talk to you.
Okay.
Where are you staying?
What's the name of the hotel?
I said, it's not, it's something David.
It's not, not King David.
It's, I know you don't want to hear this.
I said, I don't have the itinerary.
I don't know.
Have you been here before?
No.
Do you know anybody here?
No.
So I said, okay, that's enough.
I said, by the way, you've got to tell me.
Why are you talking to me like this?
You know I'm with these people.
You vetted me.
You ran my name.
Why are you doing this to me?
He said, we want to know who's coming into our country.
But I'm with her.
I want to hear it from you.
But I'm with a group of people who I don't care.
I want to hear it from you.
You're coming into my country.
I said, well, don't you worry about the plane?
I don't want to worry about that.
They had air marshals, and oh my God, they just stuck out like a sore thumb.
That was no problem.
Granted, it's a small country.
You can do it.
But I'll never forget this.
He says, I want to know who's coming into my country.
Do we know who's coming into our country?
No.
Do we know where they're from?
No.
Do we know if they're sick?
No.
You know what else we don't know?
Why I only have 158 likes.
What's going on here?
That's what I want to know.
That's what I want to know.
Nothing in my country makes sense to me now.
Nothing.
I go through one day to the next saying, I don't get this.
I don't understand what's happening.
I'm thinking it's me.
I'm doing a terrible job.
I expect people to say, are you going to...
nothing?
Oh, well.
Peter Strzok, he was a weird guy.
Yeah.
Does this bother you?
Not really.
You do know that Trump tried to run.
Yeah, I know.
And if you...
Hillary Clinton said that her election was...
Scandalized and interrupted by virtue of Russian?
Yeah, but there were no Russians.
Yeah, I know that.
You know that, right?
Yeah.
Well...
Doesn't that bother you at all?
No.
It doesn't?
Nope.
Does anything bother you?
Nope.
Why?
I just don't get bothered.
I just...
I don't know.
I don't care.
Nothing bothers me.
Is it the medication?
Maybe.
It's just a different world now.
There's so much to keep me busy.
So much to keep me bored.
Maybe you got upset in the old days because you didn't have TikTok.
Maybe you didn't have games or war, battlefield, whatever.
I don't know.
Maybe you had too much time on you.
Maybe you had too much time to think.
Maybe your education was better.
Maybe you were better at critical thinking.
Maybe.
I don't know.
But we don't do this now.
We don't care about this.
You understand.
We don't care.
We pretend we care.
We like kind of things.
We like hashtags.
But we really don't want to get in too, too much deep.
And the people who you would think would be the most involved in this?
Absolutely without.
So let me just tell you something right now.
This report, this Durham report, is so big, so huge, and in 1972, it would have rocked this country.
But it's not going to even get a blip.
And if you think that John Durham is going to risk his career, and his retirement, and he won't live in some pastoral setting with Bill Barr, Doing the Eric Holder, maybe getting some...
Who knows?
If you think he's going to say, okay, I'm going to do this, but I'm not going to...
I'm just going to repeat everything that everybody knows.
Limited hangout, and then that'll be it, and you'll be happy.
And that's it.
Peter Stroud, what happened to him?
I don't know.
And then, you're going to hear today, Jim Jordan, and maybe...
Ted Cruz or somebody else and then tomorrow is back to normal again like it never happened.
Mark my words.
Nothing ever sticks.
We have the attention span of a gnat.
We are, as Gore Vidal says, the United States of amnesia.
And I'm not upset about it anymore.
I just realized I'll do the best I can.
I'll tell you what's important and then you can do whatever you want.
Or we could talk about Dylan Mulvaney again.
We can talk about, oh, I don't know, another bad plastic surgery or some, you know, I don't know what.
And the biggest story, the biggest story, AI, AGI, not even, not even a clue as to why that is.
You'll never hear.
And if you really want to see the worst of the worst of the worst, 200 likes, 200.
200 likes?
Come on.
What are you doing to me?
200?
If you want to see the worst of the worst of the worst, look at local news.
Local news is you can't even...
Do you see where they're now going to be?
You're going to be losing AM radios in cars?
Did you see that one?
In EVs?
You're going to be losing AM radio.
Anybody care?
No.
Except the AM radio people.
They're going crazy.
Because they're still living in 19...
They still think it's Cousin Brucie at the beach with a transistor.
I guess.
I don't know.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
So ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I thank you for that.
I thank you for that.
Let me also tell you that if you are...
Wise, you will continue to follow this channel.
You will understand what I'm trying to say.
You will leave this and you will not necessarily...
You'll go and you'll learn.
You'll be an autodidact.
You'll plumb the depths of the issues.
You'll unpack it, so to speak.
And you'll find out how important this is.
Because it is immensely important.
You okay?
You serious?
I'm good.
Anyway.
I want to thank you for your time.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your imane, brabding nagian, your colossal focus, your spirit, your intellect and the like.
We'll see you tonight, 7 p.m., same bad time, same bad channel.
And until then, remember these words.
This valedictory, the monkey's dead, the show's over, sue you.
