Alright.
Now, let's start with this.
I want you to do a little bit of skullduggery.
I want you to use your analytical, dare I say, I want you to use your conspiracy theory way of thinking.
Meaning, I want you to ask yourself a very simple question.
And I'm not seeing anything that is being done, I'm not seeing this question asked on any of the usual news platforms that you would think provide this.
Who is responsible at the corporate level, whether it's Anheuser-Busch, Major League Baseball, Disney, Target, Harley-Davidson, whatever, who is saying, now listen, we're going to go ahead with this, even though it means, even though it means that we're going to suffer, we're going to suffer shareholder revolt, Dip in stock price.
We're going to be providing, basically violating a fiduciary duty to shareholders by virtue of our taking this path.
But we're going to make up for it on the back end where?
This is what I don't understand.
Let me say this again.
If you said To target.
I have a promotion that is going to be viewed by African Americans as being very, very insulting.
Very insulting.
I want you to help us with this.
I want you to promote this.
They would say no.
Why?
Because we are a publicly traded stock.
Our shareholders would I would call for my head in a derivative suit because I would be doing something that I know would affect negatively the cost, if you will, of the what am I trying to say?
The cost of the stock itself.
I'm not going to do this.
Plus, it's racist, it's horrible, it's terrible.
I'm not going to do this.
People would say, very good, very good.
Is it because they're racially open-minded?
Well, perhaps, but they're also going to do nothing to affect the bottom line of the stock.
Now, therefore, when they decided they were going to deliberately become part and parcel of this woke, and I hate to use that term, but just for shorthand purposes, this woke lunacy regarding Promotions and the like.
How did they think?
How did they think this would not affect them negatively?
How did they not think that?
How?
Where are they getting their money from?
How are they getting money on the back end?
Budweiser they don't know what to do.
They can't give this away.
Bud Light has been so Polarized.
You don't see a backlash of gay organizations or trans organizations saying, we're going to thank you for this.
In fact, they're getting clobbered by, again, woke individuals for not coming out strong enough.
Now, as you know, and as I told you before, the Human Rights Campaign The Human Rights Campaign has the Corporate Equality Index.
This is the national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer employees.
This is from the Human Rights Campaign itself.
So the question I have is where are they, how do they justify to They're shareholders.
Why stock values are plummeting?
And do they say, listen, we're going to get it on the back end.
We're going to get it on the back end.
That's question number one.
That's it.
That's the question.
Everything else doesn't matter.
Nobody that I know is asking for this.
Nobody that I know is applauding this.
Nobody that I know says, hey, let's go.
You don't see on...
We have...
In the neighborhood, here we have gay bars and gay...
We don't see big bud lights, signs outside.
I see no concomitant.
No benefit.
That's the question.
Why are you doing this?
Major League Baseball, why are you incurring the wrath of the Catholic Church?
Why are you doing this?
Why are you openly blaspheming?
You're hurting yourself.
Now, people could say, well...
They're doing it in order to cozy up to...
I know that.
You don't understand the issue.
Not you, but they don't.
The issue is, why are you doing something?
Why are you taking a position?
You're not taking a position on Ukraine, on the budget.
You're not...
Endorsing Biden.
There's a lot of stuff you're just not doing where you would say, you know what?
That's not our thing.
We just don't do this.
We don't take positions on guns, climate change, nothing.
Nothing.
If Target decided to take a position on climate change, you know, people would say, well, okay, you know, maybe.
The environment?
Not this.
Why are they doing it?
Why?
Why?
There's got to be the back...
So what happens is, the CEO is saying, I want to be fired.
Now, is somebody making them a deal?
Listen, you do this.
Take one for the team, fall on your sword, and we'll take care of you in the long run.
Yeah, but I've got shareholders who are going to clobber me.
What about them?
Well, whatever.
Where are the shareholders?
Where are people coming forward and saying, wait a minute, what are you doing?
Why are you involving yourself?
We're a beer company.
I bought beer stock.
What is happening?
That's issue number one, which I have been talking about on my private channel at lionelmedia.com.
A little bit more.
Brutal.
And by the way, please like this video, subscribe to the channel, please.
And hit the little bell so you're notified of new videos and streams and the like.
Next, Roger Waters.
What does the man think?
Again, I'm all for...
And there's two parts of this.
Two parts to Roger Waters.
Number one, there's the idea of the fact that he's, I think he's marginal.
I mean, I guess he's talented, but German authorities have made systematic efforts, by the way.
They want to charge him, Roger Waters, with, this is Germany, with criminal charges.
According to multiple news reports, The Berlin Police Department has opened a criminal investigation into Waters on charges of, quote, incitement of hatred, quote, unquote, for his two appearances on stage in the city wearing a costume that resembles a certain uniform.
CNN reported on Friday that it had received a statement from the State Security Department at the Berlin State Criminal Police Office, which said it had initiated a criminal investigation procedure regarding the suspicion of incitement of the people.
140, paragraph 4 of the German Criminal Code.
The statement says, In a manner that he violates the dignity of the victims and thereby disrupts public peace.
The Berlin police said that after its investigation, the case would be forwarded to the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office.
Now, here is the thing.
You can go through this stuff.
You can say whatever you want about it.
First of all, it's not jurisdictional.
It does not really have anything to do with us.
But we have a very unique situation regarding this thing called incitement.
And I want to talk about this.
And this goes to show you the compartmentalization of issues.
And people will have a hard time.
They will confuse it.
They'll say, well, I like him.
I don't like him.
That's not the issue.
This is critical thinking.
This is critical thinking.
This is mandatory that you know how to do this.
This is where you have to say, what I like or don't like is not the issue.
The issue is, what do you think about somebody saying something that you might particularly find so offensive?
And again, this is a foreign country that can do whatever they want.
In our country.
Because I can see one day them changing the rules.
What is the law?
What do people say?
What if you get up there and you say something that is so violently offensive to many people?
And not only that, there's questions about whether you're using a mock weapon, whether that can be construed.
Okay, let's talk about incitement.
And this is the most important.
And I talk about this at lionomedia.com.
What is the law regarding incitement?
What does it mean, I incite you?
What does that mean?
Well, the case, for you to read, is a 1969 case called Brandenburg against Ohio.
Brandenburg was a...
Klan leader who made a speech at a rally and was later convicted under an Ohio criminal syndicalism law.
The law made illegal a person advocating crime, sabotage violence, or unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform, as well as assembling With any society, group, or assemblage of persons formed to teach or advocate the doctrines of criminal syndicalism.
Now, do you understand?
Does this sound familiar?
How about seditious conspiracy?
Does that sound familiar to you?
So the question is, is this law against, is this law unconstitutional?
The Supreme Court, in a PCA per curiam, Procurium affirmed, procurium means for the court, held that the law violated the First Amendment.
And the court came up with a two-pronged test to evaluate speech acts.
Now, this is important, especially with J6 and other things as well.
Number one, the speech can be prohibited if it is, quote, Directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action.
You got it?
It was directed at inciting or producing imminent, not eminent, imminent, soon-to-occur lawless action.
And two, it is likely to incite such action.
So it was intended, and it's likely.
Does that answer the question?
Well, not really, but that's pretty good for Supreme Court rules.
So what does that mean?
You have to look at anything.
You have to look at, now again, let me remind you, this is Roger Waters, not in this country, but if he were here, if what he did with his...
Displays and everything.
He might have been offensive.
He might have been horrible.
He might have been anti-Semitic, anti-history, anti-revisionist, anti-whatever.
I think he was, he refers to Anne Frank, and he just, I mean, he go, he is unbridled.
Now, the question is, was it intended to incite something?
In this country.
Forget Germany.
The answer is no.
I don't think he wanted to incite anything.
He just said it.
Was it likely to incite anything?
Not really.
That's a concert.
Okay.
What about in that event the first part of the year in Washington?
In January.
What about that?
That's a different story.
That's a different story.
That's a factual matter.
And you've got to take those cases, those stories, and you have to look.
Is it likely to incite?
Was it intended to incite?
And I think in some particular cases, remember, this seditious conspiracy, this is the one I was telling you about was the easiest.
Easiest statute?
And I love when people all of a sudden say, this is the most ridiculous statute in the world.
Well, where the hell have you been?
It's been around forever.
Now you notice it?
Okay.
Let's just put that aside.
Let's talk about somebody so vile, wearing, wearing military garb.
Lauding a horrible part of our history.
First of all, he does nothing for me.
I'm going to say this in a very nice way.
I'm going to try my best.
Don't take offense.
John Waters is to Pink Floyd while John Lennon is to the Beatles.
John Lennon was his political stuff was juvenile.
I thought his private, his individual Private music was just eh.
And he was really nothing without Paul McCartney.
And they are not anything without David Gilmour.
Sorry!
And don't give me that Sid Barrett nonsense.
Sid Barrett was a lunatic in the music show and it was to me never even remotely compared to what happened when Gilmour was here.
Alright?
That's me.
That's my opinion.
What are you going to do about it?
Okay.
Is he entitled to say that?
Yeah!
My opinion.
Anything.
Let me say this again.
Let me say this again.
If you don't like it, leave.
It's infantile.
I think it's, to me, I don't get...
John Waters has been like this.
He has a...
He's got a focus that I disagree with.
But I don't care.
I've heard this.
I was listening to all Frank Zappa arguments about free speech.
Free speech comes down to simply this.
If it's somebody saying something, if somebody's saying something about history, if somebody's saying about whatever, do you know, you know how we all, I've never understood how this country has basically forgotten the notion of what we did to the Native American.
It amounts to genocide, no matter how you look at it.
I just don't understand it.
Every now and then we had Buffy St. Marie, we had Russell Means, we had Leonard Peltier, we had Marlon Brando who tried to bring some form of, okay, some awareness to this.
If Roger Waters were to turn around and say, crazily, This never happened.
The Native American decimation never happened.
And I'm glad because I can't stand these people.
Oh my God.
Does he have the right to say that?
Absolutely.
In my book, absolutely.
Doesn't mean you like it.
Let me try it again.
The right to say something does not mean you like it.
You can hate it.
What do you think the First Amendment is?
And I'm always stopping myself because He's in another country, they've got their rules.
They've got a real thing about the Second World War, and I don't even want to, I'm not familiar with it.
I am as much a purist as you can possibly be.
You never, ever, ever, criminally, and you can complain all you want, you can boycott Roger Waters, you can boycott Target, you can do whatever you want.
That's free speech also.
But for you or anybody to suggest that this guy makes some kind of sense is just nuts.
But you're not inciting anything.
He's a provocateur.
This is what he does.
And if you don't like it, don't go to it.
I'm sorry to say this.
Jacob Goranson from Los Angeles says, New study shows woke activists are psychopathic narcissists.
Understanding left-wing authoritarianism in relations to dark personality, trans altruism, and social justice commitment.
Very interesting.
Thank you, Jacob.
May I say to you, let me look at this, I will say to you, Let me see about this.
I have not read this.
Let me see.
Let me put this in before I comment.
Because my first thing is, no.
Here we go.
Social, yeah.
Relations to dark personality traits and social justice commitment.
This is from Crispin's Bertram's From 2022.
In two pre-registered studies, we investigated the relationship of left-wing authoritarianism with ego-focused trait of narcissism.
Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism.
I can see that.
I can see that.
May I also say something to you about this?
If you don't mind, Jacob, and I thank you very much.
I'm going to stop narcissism in the case of Mr. Waters.
First, I want to explain something.
Let me stop, because I think this is so good.
And I'm going to beg your indulgence with this one, because you're not going to understand this.
Not you, Jacob, but others as well.
Do you know that people who are not very bright, not very active, not very resolved, I know we have one couple I know in particular, they're not very bright, they're not narcissistic, they're egomaniacal.
But in order to feel something, Jacob, in order to feel this sense of Righteous involvement in something to the point where it motivates you.
You're going to have concomitant excesses either in narcissism, psychopathic I'm not sure about, but left-wing authoritarianism, narcissistic, whatever it is.
That's number one.
Number two.
We love the word narcissism.
There is a woman on...
She's very popular.
You might have seen her.
Her name is...
Hang on a minute.
Her name is...
Oh, there we go.
This is MedCircle.
Oh, this is Dr. Romani.
Have you seen Dr. Romani?
Dr. Romani, very popular.
Dr. Romani has 9 million videos on narcissism.
Blow your nose, narcissistic.
Break wind, narcissistic.
Vote left, narcissistic.
Vote right, narcissistic.
I'm exaggerating.
She's very good.
But people cannot Get enough of narcissism.
Cannot get away.
Psychopath, sociopath used to be the behavioral disorder du jour.
Now it's narcissism.
Borderline is my favorite.
Borderline personality disorder is...
The best, because if you can understand what this is, everybody's borderline.
Everybody.
Read it.
They go, oh, that's borderline.
Borderline what?
Borderline is an adjective.
It's like chiropractic.
I'm a chiropractic.
A chiropractic what?
I'm an orthopedic.
I'm a pediatric.
A pediatric what?
I'm just a pediatric.
No, that's an adjective.
What?
Let me also stop and tell you something.
With, in addition to this, for you to see something, let me see if I can explain this to you.
And again, this is so fascinating, and I want to thank you again for this, Jacob, because it's a very good point.
For somebody who says, I'm a left-wing woke.
Okay.
And I believe in...
The radicalization of transgender...
Really?
Yes.
Wow, I didn't know that.
Oh, yes.
I'm very radical, but I don't say anything.
Am I narcissistic?
No.
You point out the people who are...
Let me see if I can say this.
Take this study, Understanding Left-Wing Authoritarianism.
Let me put in the word loudmouthed or loudmouthed...
Authoritarianism.
In fact, let me take this right now.
This is from Social SSRN.
Understanding left-wing authoritarianism relations to dark personality traits, altruism, and social justice commitment.
Throw in the word loudmouth.
Because it's the loudmouth word.
If they're not loudmouth, so the question is, are they Narcissistic because of what they believe?
Or are they narcissistic because of what they say?
With all due respect, I have known wonderful people in my life who are religious and believe in a variety of things.
God, Jesus, Allah, Muhammad.
It doesn't matter.
You name it, they believe it.
And I probably have seen fewer Muslim friends.
I don't have a few.
I don't have a lot.
But I've known a few.
But I've known Christians.
And I've known some of the loudest people everywhere.
And you can imagine.
To the point where they are obnoxiously in your face about their religion.
Now, is there the religion that makes them authoritarian?
No.
Or narcissistic?
No.
But the way they do it.
So, anyway.
Chicken or the egg?
I want to just suggest that.
When you see somebody, and I also want to try something again to you, and follow me with this.
Do you know how unhinged people are?
I did something yesterday.
I did a video, which I thought was so important.
And it deals with something very interesting, which I think is one of the saddest things.
It's called hedonia and eudaimonia.
This is happiness versus fulfillment.
I know more people who are not happy than you could ever possibly even imagine.
There are people who are monumentally unhappy.
And the level of pathology in this country is through the roof.
That's why substance abuse, drug abuse, you name it.
There are so many people who are so demented and so out of whack to begin with that what you're doing is you're seeing them later on exhibit this in behaviors that are not necessarily the cause of their demented state, but the demented state is exacerbated by the fact that they are so loud.
Does that make any sense to you?
There are some things in the world, there are people who say, I want to believe something.
And I'm not really sure what it is, but I don't really care what it is.
But I like the feeling I get by believing this.
I like the feeling I get from others.
I like the feeling I get.
Let me give you an example.
If these people...
Who are the loudest?
It could be left.
And by the way, some of the most obnoxious people I've ever met are MAGA people.
Trump people.
I know some who will just make you sick with their...
I mean, it's ridiculous.
They identify with it.
Okay.
If they lived by themselves in a cabin, or they were...
Let's say they lived in a very small town where there wasn't a lot of people.
Would they still exhibit this?
Would you have...
These people...
Years ago, I used to love the goth people.
Remember them?
They walk around in the black with a black lipstick and the white face and the black hair and the studs and the Doc Martens and the black dress and the black and the black...
They're dark and goth.
Okay.
If they lived in a small town by themselves, would they still dress like that?
No.
No.
Because most of what they do is because of the reaction they get from other people.
Left-wing...
Loud, purple hair.
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock is a narcissist's mirror.
Narcissists look at me.
And the word narcissist I still think is overdone because narcissism, I don't really think...
And I think fewer people are true psychopaths than you would imagine, or sociopaths.
People love to say Hillary Clinton.
No, she's not.
Because you don't know what the term means.
It doesn't mean somebody who does evil things.
It means something else.
Most psychopaths do nothing even remotely violent.
Most psychopaths...
By the way, less than 10% of the population.
And of that 10%, nothing.
This is an act.
This gets attention.
This gets attention and also sometimes it justifies people who love making noise.
Who was it?
Was it...
What was that?
No, no.
Who said...
Go out and make noise.
I forget who it was.
They love to make noise.
Roger Waters.
Roger Waters, because his ideas are diffuse, they're kind of disconnected, they're gobbledygook.
They don't make any sense.
They're all over the place.
Some people love the activism.
They love the fact that I'm getting attention.
And other people can say, When I get attention, because of my particular status, I can also go into a CVS, I can go into a Sephora, I can go into a Walgreens, and I can steal stuff.
And for reasons I will never understand, but somebody has decided to take the criminal justice statutes, rewrite them, rework them in such a way that I am somehow granted immunity from liability for reasons I will never understand.
So I'm going to do this.
So, let me take my desire to make noise.
Let me add to the fact that I'm enjoying this impunity and immunity.
And let me also get to know that I can meet other people and we share and we feed off of this.
So that's what you're going to get.
Because I'm a narcissist?
No.
No.
I'm a weak-willed person who is succumbing to something that humans have done since the beginning of time.
You want people to show up?
First of all, order pizza.
Do you remember Occupy Wall Street?
Do you remember Occupy Wall Street?
This, um...
What was that park called?
Zoloya...
Not Zkorsky.
Yeah, Zkorsky.
This park.
And it was right next to where I used to be.
And it was real tiny.
Zuccotti or Zuccotti?
Zuccotti Park.
And there were people who occupied Wall Street.
Do you remember that?
Okay, were these narcissists?
Eh, maybe.
It defined them.
And it was a kind of an undefined, ill-defined, kind of a confused and a scattered energy about Zuccotti.
And there was a group of people called Atpor.
Have you ever heard about this?
Probably not.
Atpor is a group.
Atpor is a political organization in Serbia from 1998 to 2004.
And Atpor is, I think they might...
You basically go to this group.
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
If you want to have a movement, You go to Atpore, their sign was The Fist.
This was an organized, kind of like a franchise.
And you go, and they'll work with you, and you say, listen, I want to make sure I have the right people.
Okay, good.
You're going to need this, this, this, this, and this.
And you saw it in Maidan, you saw it in Ukraine, you saw it in a lot of places.
You see them in color revolutions, you see them all over the place.
What you think is, oh, isn't that something?
Look at these collective, this incredibly interesting group of people who have amassed out of nowhere.
And look how organized they are.
And they have songs, and they have signs, and they have...
This is all worked out.
All choreographed.
Say calling a wedding planner, but for your movement.
Are these people psychopaths?
Not really.
But I'm going to give them meaning.
I'm going to make them feel like they're a part of something.
Watch what I do.
History has told us if you give somebody a uniform, if you give somebody rank, if you give somebody respect, If you give somebody the chance to lose themselves, this is crowd theory and a clocracy, a mob rule.
And if you allow them to walk away from their individual personality and become subsumed into the big collective, that's what this is.
And I've seen it a million times.
I've seen it at Trump rallies.
I saw it one time.
At an Amway meeting was one of the most...
It changed my life.
I saw this.
Amway meeting.
When I was in college and then later on, I became absolutely not possessed, but a fan of evangelical preachers.
When I did my first talk show, I'd have them come through.
And people thought, is he born again?
I have friends of mine who said, I didn't realize, are you an evangelical?
You were born again Christian?
I said, no!
No, it's the theater of this.
One of the most important guys I ever saw, the best, was David Paul.
And I asked him, I said, explain to me how you do this.
And I've watched great speakers, great, I want to know how crowds amass.
Are all those people psychopaths?
No, I know what to say.
That's why Trump did his thing.
Trump did something.
And you know what they're trying to do to you?
They're trying to convince you that DeSantis is doing it.
But he's not.
DeSantis is drafting.
He's getting behind the Trump momentum.
And you're saying, yeah, he's saying some good things.
But if there was no Trump to compare him to, you might not even be moved by...
DeSantis.
DeSantis, we'll see what happens.
It's pretty, it's pretty, it's pretty, it's too early.
But let me go through.
You're not going to want to hear this.
People who are devout, religious.
People who are devout, atheist.
People who are devout, left and devout, right.
Anybody who is devout and vocal and loud and bold, that's the issue.
Not what they're bold about.
This is the thing I can't explain.
This is the thing...
And let me also tell you, another group of people I'm fascinated by.
Because remember, I have no groups I'm a part of.
None.
Not interested.
I've never been to me, and I mean that sincerely.
I have no groups I want to be a part of.
None.
None.
But the patriot movement, the Tea Party movement, the constitutional movement, the Gadsden flag, live free or die, the tree of liberty is fertilized.
Love that.
Patriot.
You're a patriot.
You see what that means?
You're a patriot.
It's a flag.
What does a flag tell you?
This is vexillology.
This is a study.
None of this is new.
None of it's new.
What does it mean?
When people wear a cross, when people wear religious medallions, bumper stickers, signs, what does it mean?
Did you ever see a car where they have all in the back?
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, boom, boom.
They're telling you, look, this is me, this is my car.
Most probably my kids went there or I went there or this is who I am.
This is it.
So let me go back to what I said.
It's not the left.
It's others.
And each of them equally as...
There were some of the people in January who were just demented.
Absolutely demented.
There were people who had...
They probably were of regular...
I don't know.
They lived a regular life.
Nobody ever thought so.
And they got caught up in this thing.
And they said, wow.
I don't think anybody was going to overturn anything.
There was no rebellion.
It doesn't matter.
But they got sucked up into it.
And that's going to be used.
That's going to be something Trump will never be able to get away from.
And they're going to push DeSantis.
See?
I want you to understand something.
I don't care what you think.
I want you to understand the rules.
I don't care what you think.
It doesn't matter what I think.
It doesn't matter what I think.
Here's the rules.
DeSantis is going to...
You think it's great the way he handled COVID?
That's going to hurt him.
Because the first thing I would say about DeSantis is, let me tell you something about him.
If there's another COVID or SARS-CoV-2 and you're going to have this hot rod here, this cowboy with the cowboy boots, oh yeah.
Anyway, if you're going to have this guy and you want him to be able to play around with your health and safety over an international pandemic and he's going on and saying, I don't have math, I don't have this, I don't have that.
He's proud of it.
He's lucky it turned out okay.
You're not going to want that again.
I'm not going to play around with your life.
You think that's crazy what I just said?
Uh-uh.
You watch what happens.
You watch what happens.
And then, they're going to ask him, are you thinking about, if you're elected, pardoning the J6 people?
What?
Two?
You've got to listen to Andy McCarthy.
Listen to the Republicans talk about this.
You don't understand it.
This is tantamount to the most reckless thing Trump's ever done.
Focus on what he's doing.
They're going to say to him, you want to pardon that?
You want to pardon murderers?
Wait a minute, what?
This is...
I always listen to what the enemy says, so to speak.
Not me.
And you know who the enemy to me is?
People in the Republican Party.
They're the most dangerous.
I'm listening to them.
Go ahead.
They love DeSantis.
Where's DeSantis from?
Who is promoting him?
The Bushes.
Colonel Rove.
They will do everything and anything to keep Trump out of this.
This has nothing to do with policy.
It has nothing to do with whatever it is.
I want to reduce it to absolute, very simple, human behavior.
And going back to the original premise of this, these people are not left-wing or crazy.
I know exactly what pushes their buttons.
I know exactly what pushes their buttons.
If I walked in, if I said, okay, I've got a speech.
Wow!
And I pull back the car.
This is great!
This place is packed.
Who are they?
I'll tell you five seconds before you walk out who they are.
These are either left, Woke, as you would say, or right-wing MAGA types, or whatever it is.
Either way.
Tell me before.
If you said to me, okay, ready?
They're woke.
What would you say if I said, go on and write me a script?
Okay, chat GPT, give me a script.
What would you talk about?
What is it that they took?
What is in their vocabulary?
What's in their wheelhouse?
The American flag?
Take that down.
Remember, if you're driving in a neighborhood and there's an American flag on the lawn, it's a Republican.
It's never a Democrat.
Never.
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
This is associated with something they don't like.
This is nationalism, populism, I don't know what it is.
Understand symbology, semiotics, this is what it means.
It means a lot.
What is a crew cut?
Remember a crew cut used to mean?
Crew cut and mirrored glasses?
Ooh.
I'd go by talking about climate change.
I would talk about equity, sustainability, the future.
I would talk about a woman's right to choose.
I would talk about gun safety.
I could do it in a heartbeat and not miss a beat.
And you would say, is that him?
And I would say to you, I don't believe what I'm saying.
I just know the script.
I know what they want to hear.
I'm writing a script.
I'm a chef.
I can make whatever you want.
Can you make tandoori?
Sure.
I don't like that, but I'll make it.
I know how to do it.
Yeah, do that.
Sure.
I can do that.
See, you're true believers I've got no time for.
I want political opportunities.
I want people who say, I know exactly how this works.
I don't care about it.
I don't care.
Do you think an actor cares about the role he plays?
No, he's an actor.
What am I doing now?
Okay, I'm a general.
Okay, fine.
I'm a murderer?
Okay.
I'm just an actor.
Give me a good role.
Let me know.
Let me give you an example.
One time I spoke to a group of people.
It was a big group.
And it was Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber of Commerce.
Now, simple.
What are you going to say to the Chamber of Commerce?
What are you going to say?
Now, what do you believe?
I didn't ask you that.
What are you going to say?
I'll tell you what I said.
I said, the fuel, the engine room of our society is a small business owner.
Yeah.
I'm saying to them, you are the small business owner and you are a hero.
You are blessed.
You're overworked.
You're overtaxed.
You're unappreciated.
You are the lifeblood.
You are the spine, the brain, the nervous system.
You are it.
They were going crazy.
I told them what they wanted to hear.
I believe it's true.
I'm not going to say something that far-fetched.
You have to believe some of it or else they'll be able to hear it.
But I told them exactly what they wanted to hear.
I hate politics.
This isn't left or right.
And the people who are going to hurt you the most, Mr. Businessman, are the people that you think, like the Republicans, who say, oh, I've got your back.
They've got your back.
There's not a difference between the Republicans and the Democrats, and you know it.
I knew they thought that.
Do I believe that?
Yeah.
It doesn't matter what I believe.
It doesn't matter what I believe.
Know the game.
Know how this works.
Know who these people are.
Know who they are.
So let me tell you something.
Who are the people you're going to go?
What do I tell you all the time?
What do I tell you every single time?
How are the likes doing, by the way?
144 likes?
Dear God.
Please.
I tell you this every single time.
There are three groups of people in the world.
There's the right, the left, and in the middle.
And the middle are the ones who are undecided, independent.
That's the people I want.
I don't care about these people.
They're already committed.
I don't care about them.
You let me.
They could hire me in a moment.
Biden could say, I want to hire you.
Okay.
I couldn't do it morally, but if he did, okay, I'm going to do it.
Can you tell me what to do?
Absolutely.
And I'll tell you who to pick off.
You're not going to get those guys, people in the middle.
Why?
What would you do?
How do you phrase this?
Life is like McMahon and Tate, Larry Tate, David White.
Remember this?
It's just madmen.
It's kind of figuring out why do people like certain stuff.
I do not understand the whole target thing.
I don't get it.
I don't know what that accomplished.
That did more harm.
Dylan Mulvaney did more harm.
That face, that grinning face, scares people.
That is not the face you want.
And the people who thought that their cause, if I didn't know better, I would think that was done deliberately to hurt you.
The first thing you do if you want to talk about transgenders is to tell people how normal they are.
Normal.
Don't hit anybody over the head with it.
You don't need to do that.
You just do it.
You don't...
When people, during the civil rights movement, how did they do that?
This was a big deal.
This was a big...
1947, allowing Jackie Robinson into professional baseball.
What?
What did they say?
What was it?
Did they say, and you're going to do it because you're going to be the first baseball...
To open society?
No!
Why?
It's a better game.
What?
Jackie Robinson is the greatest?
Jackie Robinson is going to add more excitement to the game?
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's how you get him.
Not, and we're going to do what's right.
Nobody wants to do what's right.
What's in it for me?
I don't get this.
I don't get this.
People that I would work for if I were DeSantis, African Americans, people of color, gay folks, and everybody forgotten in the mix.
Absolutely.
And the number one group that they're not talking about.
Latino.
Latinx, Latinx, Latinos.
And by the way, do not call a Puerto Rican Latino.
Do not call an Argentinian Latino.
Do not call a Spaniard or an El Salvador or a Latino.
I don't know what this word is.
That's an American word.
They don't know what that is.
Be careful when you call people Spanish.
They go crazy.
That's not it.
That's a whole other thing.
There was this weird...
Remember when they used to say Chicano and this and that?
These groups of people who speak Spanish have nothing in common.
Caribbean versus South America.
Complete island versus this.
Remember the old days when they would show Indians in movies?
They got Plains Indians.
They all had teepees.
Compare that with the Seminoles.
What?
They didn't know.
They were all one size.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
So let me go back to what's going on.
And I want you to listen to me.
First, have you turned off?
Have you turned off Fox News?
Have you turned off?
It will distort.
All I want you to do is I want you to watch Fox News the way you...
That's interesting.
And they keep going.
That's it.
That's it.
There is a place down the street, there is a restaurant where all the cab, a lot of cab drivers go.
It's an Indian kind of a cafeteria.
Well, but the smell, you have never, there is nothing in American cuisine like that.
Nothing.
It is the wildest, it's the most incredible smell in the world.
That's what I want you to do.
I want you to move on.
Do not watch this.
It is the most ridiculous thing.
Remember something too.
What information you get determines your ability to focus.
For example, if you're a physician and I don't give you the right x-rays, lab results, you can't do your job.
You can't.
If I give you the wrong x-rays, what is that going to do?
Fox News, Newsmax, those are your x-rays.
Those are your lab results.
They're awful.
They're old.
They're outdated.
They're the wrong ones.
Wrong patient.
Wrong everything.
They're there trying to get you to come back to watch them.
So consequently, they're dumbing it down, they're glamming it up, and they're not doing anything to really help you figure out what it is that you have to understand.
So do not waste your time with that stuff.
You're going to have to ask yourself this question.
Do you really want to participate in this?
Or do you want to be just a, is this kind of like fun for you?
Is this part, is this spectator?
Do you say, look, honestly, I, you know, I don't really care who's the president, honestly.
You might think like, because I just like the, I like the battle.
I like the yelling and the screaming, and I love this stuff.
And I love to wear my, Trump buttons and all that, and I just, you know, that's it.
That's all I know.
That's all I know.
That's okay.
You gotta tell me.
I know, I ask everybody, do me a favor.
In your town.
Where are you from?
I'm from whatever.
I'm from Haverford, County, Kentucky.
Okay.
What about you?
I'm from, okay.
I'm from here, here, here, here, here.
I'm here in New York City.
Number one.
Do I ever see anything involving gay people?
Absolutely.
Gay people, gay bars, gay businesses.
Yeah.
Nobody cares.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Is that of any interest in you?
No.
We have gay pride day or parade?
Yeah, no problem.
Stonewall?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
What about black people?
Of course.
What about Jamaican people?
Of course.
What about Jewish people and Muslims?
Yeah, we have more mosques in New York City than you can imagine.
Absolutely.
You name it.
Where do you want to go?
You want to go to see Koreans, Russians, Dominicans?
Puerto Ricans?
What do you want to do?
Italians?
Southern Italians?
Sicilians?
What?
What are you looking for?
Brazilians?
We've got little Brazilians.
Of course, they're all over here.
Now, if you told me, tell me where the transgender group is.
Tell me where the transgender group is.
Uh...
Oh, my God.
We can go over to, there's a very, by the way, gay bars.
Very clean.
High end.
No fights.
Big money.
Big money.
Top shelf.
If you don't want to go in, you can just sit outside.
I don't see a transgender.
Where is it?
I don't know.
It's on TV.
Okay, but where's transgender?
Well, it's on Target.
There's a Target there.
Okay, but I don't know where this is.
I asked friends of mine, do you see this?
No.
Do you see drag dances?
No.
Kids, yes.
School curricula?
Yes, I've heard that.
So where is all this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
That is the biggest distraction.
That's not what I'm concerned about.
That's not the...
Sparky says Dylan Mulvaney is an uncanny valley.
That is...
You are correct.
You know what the uncanny valley is, right?
That is a...
That is used in robotics.
There is a...
There is something...
Have you ever noticed where something...
Oh, that's cute!
Oh, that's cute.
There's a robot.
Hello, I'm C3B.
Oh, that's cute.
Dangerwell Robinson.
Oh, that's cute.
And then it starts taking on human traits.
And you say, that's getting kind of weird.
And then it creeps you out.
You go, wait a minute.
I don't like it.
Hello.
And then it gets more animated and it becomes acceptable.
It's called the Uncanny Valley.
It's this...
Level of...
This is a distraction.
This is not the issue.
This is not the issue.
When somebody talks about, for example, people...
Where...
Where are...
Where are the thousands and millions of illegal immigrants?
Where are they?
Well, they're over here.
And they come here and they're singing.
Okay, do you see them?
Robin Hunter?
By the way, Sparky, thank you.
Thank you, Robin.
Where are they?
Do you see them?
I don't really see them.
Do you feel them anywhere?
Do you see?
My God, they're all over the place.
I went to a doctor.
Nobody speaks English.
I don't know what's going on.
They're...
No.
Certain groups might.
Parents might.
You can say, you know what, my class is overcrowding.
But you'd be surprised.
What do you really feel?
What do you really feel other than what do you read?
What do you see?
What about crime?
Most people in this country have never been the victim of crime in any place.
Most people, we have about 8 million people in New York City and all the five boroughs.
Most people have never been the victim of crime.
Never.
They've heard about it.
Never been the victim of crime.
So you can ask yourself, that's a good question.
What am I really seeing?
What is it?
What really?
How does Joe Biden really affect you?
What does he do?
Tell me, during when Trump was president, what was it that you said, yeah, yeah, I feel it.
Do you know anything?
Do you remember it, other than an attitude?
I'll tell you, the last time any politician ever changed, ever actually changed my worldview, and I could feel it every single day.
182 likes.
Come on.
That's all I'm going to say.
Come on.
Please.
Rudy Giuliani.
Rudy Giuliani changed everything like that.
You felt it.
I'll never forget during post-George Floyd where people were locked in and we heard fireworks.
I couldn't tell if these were fireworks or small arms.
I don't know what this was.
When all of a sudden on 11th Avenue, up and down where all the car dealerships are, plywood went up.
How do they know?
What's going on here?
Is there going to be problems?
I don't know.
And then people said, I'm getting out of here.
Oh, that was a weird feeling.
Oh, I felt that.
I really felt it.
And then it kind of went away.
Then it went away.
But I remember that, and that can come back.
When Rudy Giuliani was mayor, all of a sudden, we had this thing called squeegee men.
Gone.
Come out of Hudson.
The Lincoln Tunnel.
There they were.
With a bucket and a plate.
Gone.
Not one.
Not two.
None.
Gone overnight through.
Aggressive panhandling.
Gone.
Nicest people.
You could go to Times Square.
Middle of the night.
It was so safe.
I don't know if it was safe.
You felt safe.
At least in Manhattan you did.
Maybe other places you did.
But you've got to ask yourself, what do you really want?
Let me ask you a question.
Listen to me.
Here's the million dollar question.
What do you feel about this debt ceiling?
Debt ceiling is a theoretical subject nobody understands.
Nobody understands.
We talk about it, we scream about it, we yell about it.
I'm going to throw another one at you.
Listen to me.
Remember Joe Arpaio?
Everybody loved Joe Arpaio.
Oh, my favorite sheriff.
Remember that Joe Arpaio?
Oh, I loved Joe Arpaio.
Joe Arpaio was the best.
Joe Arpaio was, oh, he was, now he's what, 90?
How old is he?
90?
91. 91, right?
Okay.
Joe Arpaio used to take people who were being held in a jail, Maricopa County Jail, jail, presumed innocent, jail, not a prison, a jail, and give them pink underwear or moldy baloney or whatever it was, and people said, that is great!
Put him outside.
He would say things like, well, if the veterans don't have a place, why should the...
But these people were presumed innocent.
Okay.
Joe Arpaio, hero.
Right?
Okay, good.
January 6th.
What happened?
People being held in D.C. gulags underneath the...
They were in charge.
I mean, they weren't convicted.
They were being held.
Without Joe.
Screaming.
You were.
What's the difference between those people and Joe Arpaio?
Nothing.
Dane.
Thank you.
This is the thing that I don't understand.
We have these...
We really don't know what the hell we're talking about half the time.
And by the way, you ready for this?
You're going to love this one.
Listen to this story.
AOC shouted down during chaotic NYC town hall.
You're a piece of...
A Queen's Town Hall hosted by Representative Alexander or Sandy.
Mrs. Dell remembers her when she was a waitress at the...
Union Square...
Hostess.
Union Square...
Union Square Cafe.
She was a hostess named Sandy.
Coffee shop.
A Queen's Town Hall hosted by AOC descended into chaos with some of her constituents calling the woman a piece of...
American citizens before migrants, a man holding small American flags, yelled as he approached the congresswoman, according to footage recorded by Freedom News TV.
Where are you on the migrant issue?
You're a piece of...
He continued shouting during the forum.
The 33-year-old congresswoman laughed off the incident, responding, okay, as the man was escorted out.
But it appeared to be just the first of many interruptions to come.
And apparently she's very, very upset.
Why she does this, I have no idea.
Now, what will happen?
Don't know.
Is that enough to make a difference?
Maybe not.
But it's something.
So here's the bottom line.
And I want you to listen to me.
I want you to know how to negotiate through this.
Sparky's here.
Sparky says InBev AB is a prime example of too much industry Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes.
Too much industry consolidation.
Bud Light Controversy exposed it.
Rolling Rock used to be Latrobe Brewery, for instance.
Too many industries have too much consolidation.
Thank you.
Yes.
However, this is the problem.
Let me go back to this.
Remember this.
I told you.
This is the corporate Equality Index.
Let me give you this again.
Let me give this to you.
Let me give you a...
This is what we're talking about.
This is the Human Rights Campaign.
And what happens is, you've got people like BlackRock, Vanguard, others who we're saying, if you don't get along with it, if you don't comply with this...
By the way, don't believe this...
You know that toothy whatever she was who decided on her own that she was going to come up with this campaign?
That's hogwash.
Hogwash!
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's different.
What is important to recognize is that there are people who are saying if you don't do something And you don't immediately sign on to this.
We're going to pull out.
We have huge swaths, huge tranches, huge groups and bits and parcels of stock.
And if you don't comply, we're going to...
Do something about that.
That's the reason why.
That's the reason why.
And I don't know how they do this.
By the way, I want you to look at this video before I get...
This is regarding the Shalin Rodriguez.
I'll talk about her in a moment.
This is the machete-wielding professor, which is just incredible.
But going back...
It's not so much consolidation.
It's the fact that you've got people who are coming in and they're saying to you, listen, I don't care what you say to your shareholders.
I don't care.
Because these people are going to be gone.
Bud Light became Shinola.
Bud Light became Tantamount.
And I also want to say something.
I feel sorry.
I know.
I know you're going to say don't.
But this Dylan Mulvaney will never be able to do anything again without being considered this lightning rod for this lunatic reaction.
You know it and I know it.
These are people who are very angry.
Now, let me go back and explain something to you.
And this might be something that our good friend John brought up.
There's a woman named Shelyn Rodriguez.
She was this art teacher at Hunter College, right?
Hunter College?
Yeah, Hunter College.
And they had some students who were at a little table, and they were pro-life, and they were Latinos in this, and this woman went up and went berserk.
And she had FTP.
We're not talking Andy Granitella here.
We're not talking STP.
A particular directive, a profound directive towards the police on her knuckles.
She went from knuckle-dragging to knuckle-tatted.
And she's screaming at these kids.
Screaming!
And it's all caught on video.
She didn't care because she feels justified in the life.
Not because she's a leftist, but because this personality always was there in the first place.
She would be this way, standing in line at a Costco.
This is who she is.
So a New York Post Journalist, journo, went to her house, went to her apartment, tried to talk to her, and lo and behold, lo and behold, she comes out with a machete, puts it up to his throat, all caught in a film, and she said, I'm going to chop your head off.
Follows him out, well, they finally arrested her.
Okay.
This is the video I did on her.
It is incredible.
We have a different world right now.
Now, Do most people see this on college campuses?
No.
Are most professors like this?
No.
Are more lefties like this?
No.
No.
Are most Democrats like this?
No.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Sorry, it doesn't work like that.
So understand who's who.
Number two, be able to understand what's the message of each particular constituency.
And number three, remember, to win an election, it's not about what you think.
It's trying to get people to vote for the right ones, provided you can trust the election in the first place.
Many megacorps need to be broken up, like Standard Oil was.
Otherwise, they conspire with the government against us.
Sparky, that may be true to an extent, but I do not like.
Sherman antitrust stuff.
I do not like the government coming in and breaking up corporations.
I do not.
Again, we're asking for I think sometimes an incorrect encroachment on the part of government to do stuff which I think is contrary to freedom and the like.
And another thing too which is very important and listen to me very carefully.
Sometimes there are things that naturally happen by coalitions that occur.
Groups, people, Organizations, parties, corporations.
Remember, in antitrust, there's lateral, horizontal monopolies, and I don't like that.
I've always taken, I'm kind of a Borkian follower.
Bork wrote the best stuff on antitrust and breaking things up, and I don't know this.
But I also want to go back to, remember, this Roger Waters case.
I don't like him.
I don't like his music.
I don't like his message.
I don't agree with anything he says.
Anything he says.
But here's the thing.
When you allow somebody, and remember this is Germany, not here, but if you allow somebody, his message to be criminally And you know it's coming.
Somebody's going to be criminally charged for, let's say, denying climate change or saying something about transgender rights or whatever.
You know it's coming.
Follow China.
You know it's going to be CCP social credit on steroids.
You can't allow it anywhere.
The best way to handle this is to just say, I don't believe in this.
Now, inciting riots, if you can incite something, yeah, that's true.
Remember something, too.
Remember, they are going to sit, they are sitting there, and you're listening to this, and they're doing everything in their power to make Ron DeSantis be like, this is going to be the guy.
All the cool kids.
Look who these people are.
Karl Rove, George Bush, National Review, Rich Lowry.
They hate Trump.
Hate him.
Trump is great, and what makes Trump great is what makes him bad.
He's an iconoclast, and that's good, except if you're trying to be president.
Trump doesn't care about making friends.
Trump doesn't care about anything that's wonderful, except if you're president.
It doesn't work like that.
Remember, Gavin Newsom's going to be the Democratic nominee.
Gretchen Whitmer, don't be surprised.
And what Bobby Kennedy Jr. does, I have no clue.
But anyway, watch what happens.
Alright, dear friends.
Thank you so, so much.
You have been terrific.
Sparky, thank you so much.
You have been an absolute joy.
Robin Hunter, thank you, Robin, for your kindness and your contribution to the cause.
And to Mr. Jacob C. Goranson from Los Angeles, thank you so much as well, dear friend.
Alright, don't forget to follow me.
Subscribe to this if you haven't subscribed to this.
You see how different I am?
I admit it.
I'm not what you think.
That's why they would hate me and hate me on a Fox News or a Newsmax because this is cheerleading.
I'm interested in the game, not the cheerleaders, not the pep squad.
I want to know about the game.
Does that make sense to you?
Okay.
Don't forget to follow Mrs. L at Lynn's Warriors on YouTube.
Follow her on Twitter at Lynn's underscore Warriors.
And I'm on Twitter at Lionel Media.
Okay, my friends.
See you tonight, 7 p.m.
Same bad time, same bad channel.
See you then.
Have a great and glorious day.
Don't forget these wonderful words.
You know what they are.
The monkey's dead.
The show's over.
See ya.
Ta-ta.
