We have so much to discuss.
So much to discuss.
But first, let me just say a couple of things here.
A couple of prefatory notes.
Before we begin, which is critical.
This evening we're going to be starting a little bit...
Dare I say earlier?
Maybe 6.30.
That's 6.30, right?
Yeah.
Because Mrs. L and I are going on a date.
How do you like that?
We're going to go out.
We're going to go see a mindless movie.
Get away from this craziness.
So, I can still speak with you, which I love doing.
But, that's our time.
So, we'll let you know.
6.30 tonight versus 7. Check your local listings.
And make sure you're always Signed up for the little announcement.
Make sure you like this video.
Make sure you subscribe to the channel and all that stuff.
And also make sure you have fun in your life and do something.
I know more people who are so miserable.
I swear to God.
More people who are so miserable and more people who are so unhealthy and they don't realize how it's affecting their personality.
They're really unhealthy.
I was looking at a picture.
Don't ask me why.
Don't ask me why.
On my Twitter page, there's a picture of an Aborigine.
This guy's got a shield and a boomerang.
I think it was taken like a 1920 and he's...
This guy looks as lean and as, I mean, ready to go.
And I thought to myself, who needs MMA and UFC?
Give me a...
I don't know if they do that.
If the...
Level of aboriginal warrior is the same, but this feller looked like, come on, let's go.
Let's do it.
Here's one for you.
Listen to this fact.
Did you know that about 250 to 300,000 years ago, we coexisted with nine forms of human?
Nine, and then 25,000, I think Homo habilis, maybe Neanderthal might have dropped off and there was another one.
But think about that.
In Europe and in Asia, we, nine, nine forms, nine forms of humanity coexisted.
Now think about that.
What would that mean?
What would you do if you met?
Or what would happen if for some reason our folks how would I say this?
If we coexisted with these people and What would we treat them like?
How would they be treated?
How would Homo habilis be treated?
Or Neanderthal?
They would be subservient to us.
They would ultimately be removed by virtue of a series of...
I don't know what you want to call it.
I don't know what the word would be, but...
Now why do I say that?
Why do I say that?
Nine human species walked the earth and co-existed 300,000 years ago.
Now there's just one.
This will be the situation when AGI hits prominence.
And when it surpasses us in intelligence, we will go the way of Homo habilis.
What happens to subsidiary species?
What happens?
They go by the wayside.
This is evolution in full form.
Remember what I told you.
One of the most interesting aspects of this and one of the most interesting issues is what if the purpose of AI and AGI was to allow us to live long enough to bring it about and then we're gone.
I have people I tell that to and they look at me And I see their eyes flutter.
And I see their eyes...
You can tell.
And I'm thinking, that's good.
That's exactly what I want.
That's what I want.
I want that reaction.
And I ask people, can you imagine that?
Can you imagine the human species ever being...
We're subordinated or relegated to something, to another intelligence life form, and we just, by virtue of this, we are not needed anymore.
What will AGI need to survive?
What?
Water?
Land?
It will need us to an extent the same way we'll be like microbiomes to it.
We'll be good bacteria.
I know it might be too early to start off, but I want you to disabuse yourself of this idea that somehow humans are, that we are at the top of the food chain and that nothing can be better than us.
Right now, there is nothing more intelligent than us in terms especially of reason, but that's going to end very, very quickly.
And this is the real issue.
And I'm telling you right now, as I was scanning the channels very quickly and going by a quick three-person couch Fox News, I realized it's over for humanity.
This is the draw of the main political commentary or bastion against this, whatever you want to call, The Biden left woke, whatever it is.
This, it is so gloomy.
But you don't want to hear that.
I understand.
People do not like, they don't like bad news.
They don't like bad news.
I have a friend of mine who was discussing high blood pressure, hypertension.
I said, this is something that you have to...
Well, I'm going to go see my doctor.
I said, okay.
What's your blood pressure now?
I don't know.
I'm going to go see my doctor.
I said, why don't you get...
They have these great cuffs.
You can buy digital.
They're very accurate.
The actual sphygmomanometer in the doctor's office is maybe the best, but this is pretty good.
Why don't you go and do that and learn something about it?
Well...
I'm realizing that's it exactly.
That's where we are.
That's the world right now.
That's this, well...
And that's who we are.
Would you like to learn more about Trump?
Well...
Well, how do you feel?
Well, I don't know.
DeSantis.
Have you heard this?
Have you talked to people?
Do you find yourself...
Just...
Gobsmacked by how disconnected people are from things.
It's really something.
I mean, you don't get it.
It's really something.
You have to know where to look.
Now, some other things which are just incredible.
And by the way, I speak about this on my private channel.
Not here.
I'm finding out certain things are not exactly appreciated.
Okay, I got a house rules.
I dig.
I dig.
No problem with that.
I understand that.
I understand how that works.
Here we go.
One of the things.
Let me see here.
I'm going to give you some other good news.
Well, not good, but it's interesting.
I think it is.
There is a wonderful, and I did a piece on this.
There's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Jordan Schachtel in the dossier on Substack.
DeSantis and Trump diverge on the Fed, big government, and Bitcoin.
You cannot possibly, possibly do better than this.
It is wonderful.
DeSantis on Bitcoin, unapologetically pro-Bitcoin, broadly supports the rights of Americans to participate in a voluntary market-based monetary system, which is very good.
Trump, eh, not too much.
Trump in 2019 said, quote, I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money.
And whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air.
Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate unlawful behavior including drug trade and other illegal activity.
What does this make?
He didn't write that.
Now this is four years ago.
He didn't write that.
He did not write that.
This is unbelievably scary.
So anyway, read this great article.
Oh, DeSantis aims at the Fed, which is wonderful.
All this $32 trillion, this nonsense.
Here's one for you, which is the most important.
I want you to read this.
I mean, DeSantis, remember what I'm doing.
I'm telling you the truth.
You can like him now.
And please don't do this.
Well, do you like him or not?
The other day you didn't like him.
I was like, oh my god.
Here we go.
Oh, here we go.
Governor DeSantis has more broadly taken on the evolving digital space by drawing a distinction between He has implemented measures to forbid the use of any potential central bank digital currency,
CBDCs, warning that these tools can be used to implement a China-like social credit score in the system.
Wonderful goods, so please be aware of that.
When it comes to the Fed, when it comes to money, when it comes to really getting this, he gets it.
Now, he gets it or he says he gets it.
I don't know.
But here's the problem.
What are you going to do when somebody tells you and asks you, well, what about Trump?
What about Trump?
Pay attention to this.
This is your vote.
This is what's happening.
And you're going to see...
As it takes off right now.
Rule number one, believe no polls at all.
None.
Polls are not accurate.
If you want to just do a real, accurate, very important poll, first of all, you've got to up the likes.
80 likes is pathetic.
But you've got to spend a million dollars on a poll.
Nobody does that.
They do these polls and they go to a mall and they talk to people.
Adults.
The sample size are adults.
Well, what about, are they likely to vote?
I don't know.
They're just adults.
Not good.
Not good there, Chico.
A couple other things, too.
Let me see.
What is it?
Oh, some other good stuff for you.
I'm going to throw some things at you, just so you can think about this.
Just say, okay.
Because remember, what I tell you, it's important for you to go and figure this out yourself.
Don't sit back and wait for me to throw the news at you.
It's what a lot of people are doing, unfortunately, on this.
And I don't particularly care for this.
Here's one for you.
Oh, my God.
This is a story that...
This is from AP News.
Madison, Wisconsin, lawmakers in several states are embracing legislation to let children work in more hazardous occupations.
Wow!
for more hours on school nights and in expanded roles, including serving alcohol in bars and restaurants as young as 5. The efforts to significantly roll back rules are largely led by Republican lawmakers to address worker shortages and, in some cases, run afoul of federal regulations.
Child welfare advocates worry the measures represent a repeated push to scale back hard-won Now, legislators in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Iowa are actively considering relaxing child labor laws to address worker shortages, which are driving up wages and contributing to inflation.
Employers have struggled to fill Open positions after a spike in retirements, deaths, and illnesses from COVID-19.
What is this about?
Where are we going with this?
Well, one of the places we're going is we are seeing the little by little, bit by bit, dissolution and destruction of this thing called minority.
The rules of minority.
Minority.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Minority.
Unbelievable.
Now, you've got to, I want you to do yourself a favor.
And I'm going to say this again.
You can't sit back and just expect people to tell you what to do.
Going back to my friend with the high blood pressure.
He doesn't understand that it's his job to figure this thing out.
That before you, there are seemingly endless volumes of information regarding health that you can do both naturopathically, maybe including medication, I don't know.
But it's up to you.
Your doctor is not going to call you up and chase you down and do this.
You're going to have to figure this out.
You're going to have to figure out, well, what does this mean for me?
And I am seeing this.
I am seeing this.
And it's the weirdest thing.
I've got to tell you this.
Friends of mine, this is our...
We're the 58 Club, so this is our 65th year.
The 58 Club is Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett, who else?
I think...
There's a whole bunch of others.
It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.
My friends that used to be vibrant and interesting and interested are into this behavior in which they're like this.
I don't know, maybe I'll retire.
And they say this and And instead of saying, I'm going to do something that is fulfilling, I'm going to find some other means of behavior.
No, no, no.
There is this, well, I'm going to start to retire.
And I look at them and I think, oh my God.
I saw some pictures recently.
We had a friend of ours had a Funeral, sad to say.
And some people I haven't seen in a long time.
I didn't recognize them.
I didn't recognize them not so much just by virtue of weight and all that stuff and age.
I didn't recognize them in terms of the way they carry themselves.
There's this thing that happens where we slow down.
And you can hear it all the time.
Hey, it's Friday.
Happy Friday.
Oh, the weekend's here.
And you might think, okay, that's okay.
No, you don't understand.
I want to go and hang out.
That's the way I live.
Hey, did you read this up?
No, I wait for them to tell me.
Did you do any research on this?
No, I don't do research.
I just sit back and I...
I'm a conservative and I just...
Okay, well...
Let me...
Let me explain something to you.
I know...
And when I say I know...
I know, and again, I'm not saying I'm buddies with, but I know, I've seen, could, you know, talk to, hey, how are you?
Maybe three, I'll push it, I'll say a maximum of five billionaires.
Actual billionaires.
Not, not, not, not millionaires.
Billionaires.
From all...
Okay.
Every...
Not one of them.
Not one of them has said, well, have a nice diet.
We're going to go and we're going to travel.
The wife and I are going to go.
We're just going to go to our beach over the weekend.
We're going to just kick back.
I don't know.
Maybe we'll travel.
Maybe we'll just kind of...
I'm going to get out.
I'm going to go into woodworking like one of those Charles Schwab commercials.
I'm going to do fly fishing.
Yeah, that's it.
Fly fishing.
I'm going to get into fly fishing.
And the missus, well, she's going to maybe do some canning.
No!
There's a guy on...
Somebody told me he's on Central Park South.
He bought one of...
Because every week it changes.
I think the most...
The richest, or the most expensive apartment, maybe in New York.
Maybe in New York.
200, 300, 300, triplex, who knows what it was?
500 and a half a billion, who knows?
You know what he's doing?
Monday morning, he can't wait for Monday.
Cannot wait to do deals, to work, to figure out what am I going to do now, what am I going to do this, what am I going to do that?
They never stop.
They never stop.
There's one in particular, I don't want to get too much, He must be in his 80s.
He's just...
It's a mentality.
These people do not have to work.
It's not work to them.
And what I'm trying to say is I don't mean people should work if you don't have...
Especially if you've done a job that's boring and you want to do something.
But it's a sense of, well, I'm closing down the shop.
And that's the way people are.
Well, Memorial Day is coming this weekend.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Maybe we're going to go to the beach.
I run from this.
It's the sound of death.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is.
I can't believe the number of people.
Who've just kind of given up.
And not just in terms of retirement, but just in terms of the news.
Well, I don't know.
You know, Trump is...
Well, have you studied this?
No, I don't.
I kind of wait for people to tell me.
I sit back at the beanbag chair.
I don't know, I'll put on...
Maybe I'll watch Newsmax.
Maybe I'll let News...
Hey, did you see Newsmax?
There's a guy on Newsmax that said something about Target.
I don't know what it was.
Did you see that on Newsmax?
What do you think that is?
I don't know.
Something about they were selling some stuff that people didn't like?
That's really something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You want to know about that?
No.
No, not really.
Here's a story for you.
Listen to this one.
This is one of those ones where you tell somebody the story, then you say, what does this mean?
I don't know.
Here's one.
Look at this.
This is from the New York Post.
A popular New Jersey Shore.
By the way, the Jersey Shore is really a wonderful place.
It's where everybody goes.
It reminds me of some good beach towns on the West Coast.
Because I'm a West Coast Florida guy.
But anyway.
A popular Jersey Shore city says it's getting serious about cracking down on a booze ban on its beaches and boardwalks this year as the summer season kicks off this weekend.
In order to emphasize the ban's enforcement, according to the Post, local leaders in Wildwood, New Jersey, passed an ordinance on Wednesday night.
That would prohibit possession of any alcohol containers on the beach in Bournemouth, even if the container is unopened.
The ban is not new, but police departments up and down the Jersey coast often turn a blind eye to the common practice of enjoying a cold beverage on the beach.
Any kind has always been prohibited, but by God, they're going to do something about this.
Now, let me explain to you.
Listen to me and listen carefully.
What do you think is the real reason behind this?
What is the real reason behind it?
What do you think?
What would make...
What?
Hello!
Hello, what do you think is the real reason that people want this to happen?
Any idea?
Just curious.
Why would somebody, why would you say, I want to make this thing, I want to shut, hey you fun folks, by God, alcohol.
Is alcohol really the problem?
Really the problem?
Really?
Is alcohol a problem in New Orleans?
Is it a problem in Rio?
Is it a problem in some places?
I mean, is it really a problem?
Or what?
What?
What do you think?
Control.
Jets onto something.
Control.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Control.
And what about control?
What do you think they want?
Crash the culture.
Crash the economy.
Very good.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Thou shalt not have fun.
Control.
What do they not want more than anything else?
Getting together.
They don't like.
They don't like.
People getting together.
They don't like people merging, congealing, confabulating, conviviating, coalescing.
They don't like this.
Go home.
Stay home.
Call Grubhub or DoorDash.
Just get a pizza, watch an old movie.
Go home.
Go home.
Break up.
Don't do this.
We don't like what you're doing here.
Now, if you have to go to a bar, don't mind if a 14-year-old serves you because we want to destroy the notion of minority.
What do you think this is about?
What do you think?
When you see people when, oh my God, there's nothing that drives these people crazy than 4th of July.
Oh, and anything, anything that's even remotely patriotic, anything that in any way coalesces, Or forces people to say, hey, this is great!
This is wonderful!
Not good!
Now, is there a memo that's there?
No.
Is there somebody that says, listen, we're against, just so that you know, this Wildwood, New Jersey, we're against people, no.
But here's what you do.
You get these people that say, you know, these drunk people with their...
Beer cans and bottles and drunken behavior and lewdness.
You know, we don't need that.
Why?
Yeah, that's right.
We want this to be wholesome.
Doesn't that sound good?
Doesn't that sound good?
Sounds good to me.
Doesn't that sound like that's admirable?
That's just great.
That's what you do.
You get those people in.
You ever get somebody in there who actually says, this is about control.
No, no, no, no.
Stop it.
That's what this is.
Always look behind it.
Always look behind it.
What is happening?
What is...
Did you see?
How much did Target lose?
$9.3 billion.
$9.3 billion.
Somebody last night very innocently said that they think, they actually believe that Target, that Target and Anheuser-Busch thought That sales would go up.
That this was a miscalculation.
This was a monetary miscalculation.
That sales would go up.
What?
No!
They knew exactly what would happen.
What?
Well, why would they do this?
This is why we have to absolutely re-educate some folks.
The Gorilla Bob, ladies and gentlemen, we have not seen the likes of you.
Good morning, Al.
Please don't let the masses, please tell the masses that the Jersey Shore is great.
Let's keep the shore quiet.
Jersey Shore sucks.
I'm a man for all seasides.
Well, you know what?
You're right about that.
There's nothing worse.
But you know what?
It is a beautiful thing.
And I've got to say something.
You know, Mrs. Al is born in Jersey.
She's a Jersey gal.
And I will tell you that if I had my druthers, I have found more places that I feel...
Let me explain this.
I go to places...
Have you ever done this where you say...
I like this.
I like this feel.
I like this.
I like this.
This feels really neat.
This is a...
Wow.
Like, you know, one place that we went to that I'll never forget?
I swear to God, it was one of the strangest feelings I ever had.
Chugwater, Wyoming.
I thought Chugwater was one of the neatest places I've ever, ever, ever.
There's some places that are neat.
Paso Grill is interesting.
On the west coast of Florida.
Right around Gulfport, Pasadena.
Beach.
Real beach people.
Real Florida beach.
I dig that.
Not up north towards Clearwater.
Not the condo thing.
No, no, no, no.
I'm talking about...
Where Silas Dents used to be and, you know, and mangroves and all that.
There's a real kind of a funky beach that Jimmy Buffett believes.
That's legit.
I kind of dig that to an extent.
I like mountains, little mountains.
I like certain things.
And there's some places I go to, I think, yeah, I like this.
And between, there's some nice places in New York.
Connecticut, I know fairly well.
But New Jersey has some of the best places you have ever seen.
I mean, this.
And what do you think of when you see New Jersey?
What do you think of?
The Sopranos.
You think of Newark coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel.
You think of the airport.
Sopranos.
Jersey Shore.
Who else?
Oh, New Jersey Housewives.
You know, that's not even close.
This is the question whenever you meet somebody from New Jersey.
Ready for this?
Taylor ham or pork roll?
They go crazy for this.
I don't know.
They'll talk about this to the point where you'll think, my God.
Taylor ham!
Okay, okay.
That's north.
We're not north.
We're south.
Whatever it is.
Diners.
Vegetables, fruits, tomatoes, onions, things you cannot believe.
Okay, that's that.
And there's a thing.
So I just want to tell you, Jersey is very, very nice.
There's an attitude.
Benjamin Franklin said, New Jersey is a keg tapped on both ends.
Because Philly and New York during the Revolution, Jersey was in the middle of what?
This is all of the revolutionary war sites where I don't want to say decamped, but where Washington was.
Alright, enough of that.
Now I want to talk about something else which is more important to you.
Which is more important to me.
I'm going to explain this.
I hate cliches.
Clichés.
Say what you mean.
Mean what you say.
Jimmy.
Jimmy Buffett, great, great song.
You know who was a great cliche writer?
It was John Prine.
Loved it.
We have cliches.
Greatest cliche subject of all time, love.
Hearts, kissing in the rain, things like, you know, you just say things.
It's like, oh, okay.
That's why one of the reasons why I think there's so much divorce is people don't understand what love is because they think it's this cliche thing, which, Part of it is, but that's not all that there is.
That's a part of it, but that's not really it.
So Memorial Day is coming up, and what we do is we say, these people gave their lives so that we can be free.
Okay.
I never find myself, I never want to argue with somebody who says that.
I never want to tell somebody, well, you know, especially somebody who's lost somebody.
Who lost somebody in war.
And I'm not going to say this.
I had a friend of mine who, if you were to dare tell him that Vietnam wasn't worth the...
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
He will just look at you like you...
I lost friends there.
I know you did, but anyway, so I stay away from him.
But let me explain to you this cliche, which is very, very important.
Vietnam had nothing to do with my freedom.
Korea had nothing to do with my freedom.
World War II is probably the closest.
But not really.
World War I?
No.
Iraq?
No.
Afghanistan?
No. 9-11?
No.
Nothing.
Nothing.
What would we have done if we had never involved ourselves with Vietnam?
What would happen?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Vietnam would look exactly what it looks like now.
Would there be the spread of communism?
No.
Vietnam was a civil war.
Ho Chi Minh was a nationalist.
Ho Chi Minh actually loved us.
We turned our back on Ho Chi Minh because we were so smitten by this...
We didn't want another non-pen, I mean, not non-pen, a bien, a bien, a bien, a bien, a bien, a bien, I can never get that right.
This is the The hang on I Dien Bien Phu.
This was the big...
This is the battle of Dien Bien Phu.
This is the one.
This was in 54. And this was the...
This is where the French said, we're out of here.
We're out of here.
We didn't learn that.
So, while Memorial Day is a wonderful time for us to...
Recognize people.
Memorial Day is, to me, a celebration of the idiocy of American policy, where we think of soldiers as being fodder, that they can just be used.
Here, go.
Just go use them.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Move along.
Do your thing.
Come on, you signed up.
Come on, it's a noble event.
We love you.
Yeah, support our troops.
Just move along.
Don't bring me into this.
Not my kid.
Not my...
No, no.
You go.
You go.
When I hear from the Pat Tillman story to...
Remember Jessica Lynch?
Remember those stories?
They were just...
Absolute fabrications.
But what I hear people say is, after 9-11, I joined up and I...
I understand it.
Having been here, I really understand what that was.
But I never understood how people could say, now wait a minute, before you do this, what does Iraq have to do with 9-11?
What?
Never answered the question.
I don't know.
I'm just so angry.
And if you say this, okay, fine.
Okay.
And I learned it.
It's like, wow.
Wow.
And Afghanistan?
What does that have to do with anything?
Especially the way we left it.
So, Memorial Day is a very strange thing for me.
Memorial Day is, and let me ask you, have you seen The Vietnam Memorial in Washington.
You must see this.
You cannot put it into words.
You cannot describe the horror of it unless you see it for yourself.
You cannot believe...
I don't know.
When I saw the Vietnam Memorial, I thought it was this wall.
There's this one wall they always go to and they put the paper and it's very sad.
That was just one of section after section.
Some of the walls were smaller, some were larger.
They're on this undulating, rolling area.
I couldn't believe it.
I thought it was just this one wall.
No!
Many, many sections.
I still don't understand what that was about.
So when I see people, especially these young men, this is Fleet Week.
Fleet Week is going on this week since 1982.
And all you see are these sometimes, you know what's really sad?
You'll see a soldier, excuse me, a sailor, maybe with an officer, maybe with that, you know, with that little...
With the cap and the whole thing.
Walking around, maybe with a bag.
It says, you know, Broadway.
They go to Broadway and they have like a souvenir.
Sometimes they're by themselves.
They're not even traveling in groups.
My heart breaks.
At least their Navy is like, good, nothing's going to happen to them.
But the Marines, because Marines are part of the Navy, they travel together.
And I see these poor, and they look.
They look so...
You don't see a fat Marine.
You notice that?
You see fat Navy.
Oh, yeah.
No.
No.
Uh-uh.
Not one.
Their uniform is terrific.
It's crisp.
I love it.
I appreciate that.
They could be my...
I guess, in some cases, my grandchildren.
And I want to go up to them and I want them to understand.
Now listen.
I appreciate what you're doing, but we're not going to send you anywhere.
Believe me.
So don't let anybody know this.
You're not going anywhere.
Not on my watch.
There is no reason for you to go and die anywhere.
Anywhere.
Period.
Believe me.
There's a way for us to address it, but not with your blood.
Not with this treasure.
Not with this.
We don't need you to do that.
We can do other things.
I'll take care of it.
I got some stuff for you.
But we're not going to use you.
Well...
What do you mean?
Well...
Okay, come here.
Here's what I'm going to do.
In case there's a problem, we're going to be using EMPs.
We're going to be doing cyber stuff.
I got people that are ready to go.
AI, it's already here.
Just to let you know.
So, when they try to start up their military and they realize, wait, this doesn't...
What happened?
That's the stuff I'm looking for.
No need for you to take the beach.
No need for you to say, hey, let's go doing the obstacle course.
That's good.
You're not going to need to do that.
Now, you might...
One day, there might be the need to lessen, to minimize posse comitatus.
Because you might be needed here in terms of some type of domestic.
But what I'm trying to tell you is that whenever we say celebrate our troops.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yes, I honor them.
But stop saying that support our troops.
I don't support them going to any country.
We don't need them to go to any country.
Stop that.
You're actually encouraging this.
These cliches, you're lauding this.
Oh, they keep us safe.
No, they don't keep us safe.
Look at this guy.
He's a Marine.
I can speak because of him.
You know who keeps us speaking?
Let me ask you something.
Why do you think you speak?
Why do you speak?
Who is it?
Who is it?
That maintains your freedom of speech.
Who?
You think Communist China is going to come here?
You think Xi Jinping is going to say, hey, you're in Cleveland, shut up.
You think Putin's going to do this?
No.
It's this.
It's the Constitution.
And who are the people who do that?
Used to be the lawyers, the judges.
That's who were the people who were.
That's my army.
Believe it or not.
When the ACLU used to do something, when they stood up for something that made sense, you don't need to go to the Marines for that.
Your freedom of speech has been compromised at such an expense.
The first Marine Division is not going to help you at all.
These are clichés people are using.
Stop thinking like this.
We don't need to kill anybody.
It's ridiculous.
This is ridiculous.
And you're wondering why AI is going to just come in and say, alright, that's enough.
There were people who were affected, so affected so greatly by World War II.
Gold star families.
That was something which was...
And by the way, if you really, you don't...
Every single story...
It's divided up into this.
Remember, when you read a news story, your headline should be, in fact, if somebody says, Hi, this is Dick Germain with the 6 o 'clock news.
And now, here are the stories that they want you to believe actually happened.
They want you to believe this.
And it goes for Fox, CNN, Whatever it is.
They want you to believe this.
This is not what happened.
This is the story that's been phrased so that you think this.
That's what they want.
That's the part of it.
Now, I get very upset.
Very, very, very upset when I hear people...
How do I say it?
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
Human beings love ceremony and love pomp, circumstance, tradition, trappings, tradition, happy birthday.
We do that, right?
Happy birthday to you, right?
You will never see anything more in anything that we do.
I don't know about other countries, but if you ever want to see something where tradition and formality completely overrise, the actual event go no further than weddings.
Weddings is an industry that has nothing to do with what's going on.
Nothing.
The real ceremony should mean things like christenings.
Not because of the religious, but welcome to the world.
I think that's one of those things.
It's just not, eh.
Birthdays are okay because it's going to be nice.
But if ever you want to see somebody say, excuse me, do you know what this is?
What?
Do you know what marriage is?
The long run?
The long run?
Do you know what the long run is?
What?
I don't have time for you.
I've got to talk to an ice sculptor coming up.
An ice sculptor?
So we do this.
If you go into churches, if you go into...
I've got a friend of mine.
Every time he goes by a church...
By the way, a couple of things you notice.
Look at the way Putin does it.
He does the Eastern.
Instead of going like this, he goes this way.
There's a couple of ways to...
Somebody told me that in terms of Islam, this is...
What is it?
This is Sikh.
This is Shiite.
I don't know, but there's a way.
You've seen the head?
The bruise.
There's all these things that you can just tell.
You can just...
For example, I don't know...
I was in a Catholic church and all of a sudden they're doing like this.
They go, what is this?
What are you doing with this?
Where did this come from?
Where did you start doing this?
And they also started handing out the host.
Handing it out?
Touching it?
Oh, no, no, no.
When I was in...
You think I'm...
I'm going to tell you something and you're going to laugh.
But it's true.
We had a nun who told us that if you drop that host, if you drop that host, don't you touch it.
A nun will come, pick it up, and there's a special sewer that they put the host in that goes right to the Vatican.
They told me this.
Don't you touch.
Don't you even chew the host.
If we see you chewing it, you just let it stick to the top of your mouth, and it just sticks there like paste.
Don't touch it.
Don't chew it.
I remember one time, oh God, I don't know how many years ago, I said, ah, what the heck, I'm still a member of the club, let me get communion, I haven't been there.
And I can't really see, and I'm walking up, and all of a sudden there's this person, like a civilian, who are you here?
What?
Oh my God, the lightning is going to, you're touching it?
Who are you?
Who are you?
We used to have actual class one time, Body of Christ.
Amen.
Are people sticking their tongue out?
I did.
You're sticking your tongue out.
I know I am.
That's not what it is.
You've got to keep your mouth open.
When you stick your tongue in somebody, you put your mouth together, then you stick your tongue out.
This is mouth open.
That's different.
I know what you're doing.
We had tongue thrusting exercises.
This is how, and I'm realizing then, I don't think anybody even realizes what this means.
That's who we are.
We're into the ceremony.
We have no idea what it means.
We don't know why we do it.
We have no idea what we do it.
And that's one of the reasons why we love ceremony.
We love tradition.
We love uniforms.
We love colors, music, scents, sound.
We love this.
Here's one thing for you.
One of the things which is so important.
I love, to me, to me, one of the most Absolute, the greatest form of food I think in the world is smoked, not barbecue, but actually smoked meat.
There is nothing like it.
So carcinogenic, it's not even funny.
It's off the charts.
Burnt, protein, charred, smoked, love it.
Absolutely horrible.
Horrible.
How about fried potato skins?
Oh my God!
What are you talking about?
Most people would say, can I read that?
They'll say, no it's not.
I like that.
That's the way we think.
But I like that.
So what do people say Memorial Day?
Hot dogs.
Barbecue.
Hey!
Grilling.
Take a meat casing.
Think about this.
Take a...
Well, they're artificial.
But in the old days, take an intestine of some swine.
Fill it with...
Well, the old days were actually better because it was just meat and minimal processing.
But no, no, no, no.
We'll take this up with nitrates and this.
We're going to shove it in this stuff.
We're going to chemically treat it for preservatives, antibiotics.
I mean, we're going to...
This thing won't even fill it with awful parts of the pig.
We don't even know what that will put together.
We have no clue what this is.
But it tastes great.
It tastes fantastic.
Sugar, salt, savory, fat.
Put it in this casing.
And then it's going to have a weird color to it.
By the way, pork is white.
But no, we're going to make it pink and red and smoked.
And then we're going to put it on fire.
And we're going to give it to a little kid where it's burned.
Actually burned.
So you're going to take this carcinogenic chemical tube, we're going to burn it, and then give it to him.
Now, how many of these can you eat over the course of your lifetime before you get ill?
I don't know.
But we don't care anything about that.
Because we just put that out of our mind.
We just don't want to think about that.
We don't.
We just say to ourselves, I do not.
I reject that.
Why?
Because I don't like what you're saying?
I don't like it.
I don't like what you're saying.
I don't want to read about it.
I don't care what you're saying.
I think it's ridiculous.
It's a tradition.
And I just don't want to hear this.
My favorite, of course, is the olive oil crowd.
Olive oil is good for you.
No, it's not.
Shut up!
Shut up!
I'm Italian.
We've had olive oil my whole life.
Shut up!
It's good for you.
It's good for your heart.
It beats better than butter.
And it's extra virgin.
And that sounds good, doesn't it?
Not just virgin.
Extra virgin.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
And it's cold pressed.
So do me a favor.
I'm going to eat my hot dogs.
I'm going to eat my hot dogs.
Shut up!
Don't talk to me about weight, health, food, death, cancer.
None of that.
You don't understand what I'm telling you.
I don't.
Don't care what you have to say.
And by the way, while we're at it, I don't want to hear about your revisionist history.
Don't tell me I don't know what's going on.
Don't tell me about Memorial Day.
Don't tell me about anything.
Don't tell me about Trump.
Don't tell me about anything.
You understand this?
I live in my world.
I follow Fox News and Newsmax and that's it.
And I don't need you coming along and telling me that I don't know what's going on because Trump is my guy and MAGA this and MAGA that.
So shut up.
You understand it?
And I'm only going to go to news formats that tell me what I want.
This is what Roger Ailes taught me.
Roger Ailes taught me that there was a thing called narrow vision.
Not narrow vision.
Narrow casting.
Pardon me.
Oh, narrow vision too.
Not broadcasting.
Narrow casting.
I want to see the world my way.
I want to see it my way.
And I don't want to hear the other side.
I want to hear my side.
I want to hear rules and realities that reaffirm and establish my worldview when it comes to religion, family, God, America, whatever it is.
You got that?
You got that?
Make sure you understand it.
So don't give me this thing about, well, I don't want to hear that.
I'm doing just fine like this.
Because I'm not real happy with what's going on in the world.
And the only thing I can do to keep my head above water and not lose my mind is to believe, to continue to believe and to grovel in a delusion.
Okay, a delusion, I admit, that doesn't even resemble reality.
But I like that version compared to what you're telling me.
Because when I talk to you, it's always negative.
You're always talking about this and that and the history's wrong and they're killing us and look what they're spraying and the 5G.
I'm so tired of you.
I don't want to hear about you.
I don't want to hear about anything, okay?
I gave up smoking and that was it.
Leave me alone.
That's the American way.
That is exactly the American way.
And Trump is my guy.
And Trump had a...
Trump exhibited a sense of I'm doing it.
My way.
And I don't care.
I'm going to make fun of people.
I'm going to be as boorish and garish and as churlish and obstreperous and contumacious as you want.
And I love it.
Okay.
That was 2016.
Fine.
Things were pretty good in 2016.
And I don't need you to tell me that whatever.
Okay?
You got this?
That is Exactly what's going on.
Understand how things work.
Remember that.
Because if you want to do anything in life, if you want to do well, whether it's in broadcasting or podcasting or whatever it is, do not think that anybody is asking you to dispel rumors or disbelief.
Do not think that.
Do not think that your job is...
You know what?
A lot of my fellow friends think that Trump actually...
Knows what he's doing, but I'm going to show he...
What was that again?
No, I think Trump...
What was that?
No, no, he's our guy.
Shut up.
Okay.
And don't talk about Reagan either.
And by the way, it works the other way, because Trump derangement syndrome goes both ways.
It's the people who love Trump, but also the ones who go, I'll vote for anybody but Trump.
I don't care.
Don't you understand?
I don't want to hear about Biden.
He's not that bad.
Just leave me alone.
He's not Trump.
That's it.
I'm happy.
Leave me alone.
I just...
Just leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
I don't want to hear about you and your target and all this.
You're just a...
That's...
I just described you most.
And the other group of people I'm not talking about, the people who said, what about target?
What?
What about Budweiser?
Dylan who?
Bob Dylan?
Dylan Mulvaney?
Clayton Delaney?
Wasn't that that Tom T. Hall song?
I remember the day when Dylan Mulvaney...
No, what?
I don't know what you...
You don't know who Dylan Mulvaney is?
No!
That's most people.
Most Americans say, I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh yeah, that guy that...
Yeah, yeah, I think I saw that.
Yeah, yeah.
Doesn't it bother you?
No, not really.
Do you know who Xi Jinping is?
General Tso?
Is that that kind of chicken?
No!
What about Putin?
Oh, yeah.
Something with the Yugoslavia.
That's America.
That's America.
Believe me.
See, we live in this world right now.
We think everybody knows what we're talking about.
They don't.
So, we'll do the best.
I speak to you because you are the rarest of the rare of the rare because at least you understand.
At least you know what's going on.
Our job is to go out and tell people because if we don't proselytize, if we don't try to deal with people evangelically regarding the truth, we're wasting our time.
It's that simple.
It's that simple.
All right, dear friends, please have a glorious day.
It's a beautiful day.
It's 60 degrees here in New York City.
Do we have a nice weekend, I think?
Go out there and burn those wieners.
Come on, you're going to do that, aren't you?
You better believe it.
Go out there and go tan.
We're still tanning.
Do they still do tanning?
I don't know if anybody even cares about that anymore.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
So in any event, Follow Mrs. L on YouTube at LinzWarriors.
YouTube.
Give me a favor.
Follow her on Twitter at LinzWarriors.
L-Y-N-N-S underscore, underscore.
Warriors.
And I'm at Lionel Media.
Are you following my good?
I got good stuff for you.
I got good stuff.
Did you know that 300,000 years ago, nine forms of humans coexisted on the planet?
Did you know that?
You didn't know that, did you?
You're not going to hear that on Newsmax.
I don't think so.
I don't think Greg Kelly's going to be talking about that anytime soon.
You know?
I don't think I've ever heard I've ever watched Newsmax.
Ever.
Ever.
You know I've never heard the Howard Stern show?
On radio?
I've heard a YouTube clip where somebody was on or somebody says I've never heard it here in New York.
I've never heard the Rush Limbaugh show in its entirety.
I only heard it If somebody had it on or if I was in a station and it was on, never heard the Sean Hannity show?
Never heard, never, never, never, never cared for those?
Kind of predictable?
Never.
The shows I listen to, the ones I like on a regular basis, you'll never know or never watch or never hear or think of.
So, I am a freak.
I realize this.
I am not a part of any particular identifiable demographic that anybody cares to be a part of.
And that's just the way that is.
I just, I don't like it.
I am a rabid, I think, patriot.
And if I, every now and then I'll find somebody who says, who gets it, who understands, I think.
The way I see things, but they're few and far between.
Most people don't.
And this is the way I've been my entire life.
Because I've come to recognize one thing.
I am a freak.
I am an alien.
I don't belong here.
Sometimes I feel like an alien feeling like I don't belong.
Remember that?
Ronnie Hammond?
Atlanta Rhythm Section?
Absolutely.
I don't fit in.
I'm not a Democrat.
I'm not a Republican.
I'm not a left.
I'm not a right.
I see the best in both.
They kind of approximate the truth.
The real issues that I want to talk about, nobody's talking about.
But I'm used to it.
I'm used to being a freak, and I'm used to being all alone.
With the exception of Mrs. L. All my life.
Music I never liked, that they liked.
Everybody never listened to the Beatles.
Never, never, never got it.
And one of the reasons why, believe it or not, was everybody was there.
Whenever the majority of a group of people like something, it's wrong.
You're always wrong if you go with the majority of the people.
They are always by definition wrong.
People, when they act in concert, are wrong.
Because they cancel out common sense.
It's the freak, the one who says, what are you listening to?
Why?
Because you're only...
If you're walking down the street and one club is packed, and then there's this other one with two or three people, go to that one.
That's the one you want to go to.
Those are the free spirits.
Those are the thinkers.
I was listening to the other day.
Don't ask me why I get into these things.
Everything but the girl is one of the...
They look like your grandparents now.
And they're like in their 50s.
They are so good.
They are so genius.
This Tracy Thorne is just...
Now, is she a household world?
No!
Taylor Swift is.
I wouldn't go out the door to see Taylor Swift.
I wouldn't go...
Not interested.
With all due respect, God bless her, not interested.
Everything about the girl?
Yes, I would.
Absolutely.
Ricky Lee Jones is back.
She has a brand new album.
A brand new thing.
She is a just...
Her voice changed.
She's older.
She's the...
She slowed it down.
She was this...
Remember...
She was like Tom Waits with...
Remember that...
There was nothing...
I was listening to her.
Incredible.
Billy Strings has a new song with Willie Nelson.
Fantastic.
There's one part of it where Billy Strings, who's the best bluegrass, well, most popular bluegrass picker now, he's just on fire, shredding this thing.
And Willie says, take it, Willie, as though Willie played this and he's laughing.
Incredible.
Is he selling our concerts?
No.
Billy Strings has more musicality, more sense.
Tears for Fears, this last tipping point, oh my god.
Genius.
They have more musical genius in their cuticle, in their nail bed, than Taylor Swift does.
I accept that.
It's been this way my whole life.
I got it.
I got it.
I understand it.
I understand.
If I like it, the worst thing is for me to like what you're doing, because that means nobody does.
If I like it, it's a kiss of death.
It's a kiss of death.
That means nobody's going to care for it.
Because that means I don't like something that everybody likes.
So if I like what you're doing, not good.
Alright, dear friends, have a great and a glorious day.
See you today.
Tonight, 6.30.
We're going to start a little earlier.
So see you then.
Make sure you hit that little bell so you're notified of this.
6.30, we're going to start early because Mrs. L and I are going to go on a date.
Nothing you can do about it.
So at 6.30, I'll impart some wisdom and then we're out the door.
Anyway, we love you.
Have a great and a glorious day.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for your intellectual tribalism.
And I mean that in the best of ways.
See you tonight, later.
And until then, remember this valedictory, this adios, this sayonara.
The monkey's dead.
The show's over to sue you.
