Nobody cares about Mike Johnson.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
Any of this pretend business, it's not even remotely of interest to most people who are even listening to any of this.
It is a pretend form of interest.
Feigned.
By a bunch of people who just don't know what to say.
Who think like, well, I guess I should feel something about Mike Johnson, I guess.
Right?
Isn't that that you're supposed to feel something about Mike Johnson?
Do you?
Does anybody care about, dare I say, Mike Johnson?
No!
It's a racket!
And he only got it because he was less problematic, less annoying, less obnoxious, and that means more pliant, more easily led, more easily calibrated.
Does that make any sense to you?
I hope not.
God, I hope not.
My friends, I am telling you yet again, Tonight's disquisition is called Terrorism for Dummies.
And it should be subtitled War for Dummies.
And the reason why it means something, the reason why it's so critical is that, and let me see if I can explain this in a very clear and concise way.
The reason.
The reason.
It's because war has been a subject of brutality since the first time anybody thought of eliminating the enemy.
And that's it.
There's nothing to this.
It is so boring.
It is so boring, so dull.
Your Piers Morgan, every five minutes, have some Palestinian man or woman on who is not going to admit that the October 7th horror was indeed horrible.
It's the same crap over and over.
And it never ends.
It just never ends, never ends, never.
And nothing that anybody can do, nothing anybody can say, nothing anybody can point out is in any way going to make you understand or grasp what all of this stuff means.
Now let me explain this to you yet again.
And I don't know why you need me to do this, but apparently you do.
People will use whatever implementation they have, whatever elements or tools they have to make a point.
We've done it.
They've done it.
It's beyond my ability to even explain anymore, okay?
I don't understand why this is so difficult for everybody to grasp.
I really don't.
I don't understand this.
War is about terrorizing the other side.
It's that simple.
I can't explain it.
It's not right.
It's not wrong.
It's not good.
It's not bad.
It's war.
And your war, your version of it.
Yours is no better, is no nicer than anybody else's.
It's not cleaner.
It's not more, well, we have rules.
We have the Geneva Conventions.
We wear uniforms.
How do I explain this anymore to you?
How?
How do I explain or put it into words anymore, this idea that we are just as bad, if not worse, than anybody else?
That our wars, our Vietnam wars, when we send Oh, what are those, not bunker busters, what do they call those, we sell those, send those anti-personnel bombs that have shards and shreds of metal and, oh God.
You know what I'm talking about.
You know what I'm talking about.
I think we send them to, we send them to Ukraine?
Virtually every human rights agency said this is horrible.
They're terrible.
They're beyond terrible.
What's the name of it?
Cluster bombs.
Thank you.
That's okay.
That's okay.
They show pictures of hospitals.
Hospitals in darkness.
We...
Bombed Vietnam to the point of it was just absurd.
Yet we're okay with that.
We're okay with that.
And the thing that got everybody's attention, Hamas walked up to this sleeping evil giant, maybe, maybe evil, maybe not, I don't know.
But it was this big lion.
It was this big thing.
It was sleeping.
And it was just sitting there.
And it was weird.
And it was just kind of minding it.
Not minding its own business.
And it had done some pretty nasty stuff in the past.
But there it was.
And Hamas decides it's going to come up and take this stick and stick it.
Right in this, in the eye of this.
And then later on was, oh my God, couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Couldn't believe the response.
Because the response was precisely what was meant to be given.
The response was to make Israel go nuts.
They knew exactly.
That's exactly what they wanted.
Do you understand?
Does this make sense to you?
I hope it does.
This is the thing I'm trying to explain to you.
Please tell me you understand this.
Stop talking about evil.
They're evil.
War.
Is evil.
We are evil.
We've been evil.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
We are evil.
We have been so evil that nobody can even put it into perspective how evil we've been.
We've been evil.
We dropped two atom...
And nobody wants to talk about that.
They want to keep asking the question, do you acknowledge?
Do you renounce?
October the 7th?
And they bring the same people on.
And the same people talk about the Nakba.
And it's the same.
It's over and over and over and over and over.
It never changes.
I heard, I'm not going to mention, because I like her style.
This idea of evil.
Mankind, it's about evil.
If you, I want to talk about politics and war as a methodology.
I don't want to talk about evil.
Who's evil?
Everybody's evil.
What are you talking about?
Well, you're evil.
You are too.
Oh no, we're not.
Oh no, we're not.
We're different.
What do you mean you're different?
Well, we're just, you know, we're different than you are.
You're different than we are.
How are you different than we are?
Well, we're just suffice it to say we're different.
Really?
Okay.
It bores me.
I will tell you something that the one that is That when it comes to war, once you go into war and artillery and blowing, in World War I they used gas and mustard.
It was the most horrible thing anybody's ever even seen before.
My God, it was beyond, beyond horrid.
Horrid!
You hear what I'm saying?
Horrid!
But, what's interesting to note, Is that the example that I have seen in my, not lifetime, but what I've studied, is the Holocaust and what they did to women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
the DRC, in 2005, maybe, when they would use bayonets and sticks and weapons and stakes and sharpened objects as instruments of Warfare, where the R word, which might bother the sensibilities of our friends here.
And this is why I do private stuff, because you can say whatever.
You can actually speak like an adult, because it's weird.
Some people can say it, some people can't.
I don't know.
But women...
Women, it's one thing when you're killing the other guy.
Okay, okay, I understand.
You're into, you know, you're into you're into war.
I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it.
So you go after these people and you go after these folks and you go after the other side and you do whatever you have to do and that's it.
Okay, I understand.
I dig it.
By the way, this is my private channel if you're ever so inclined to want to hear adult talk.
But they took these women and they destroyed them internally.
And they made them incontinent and they made them suffer and they made them feel the shame and the ignominy of being in their own waste and they were shunned.
Wait a minute.
This had nothing to do with war.
That was a personal thing.
That was a personal thing.
And that dude in Germany said, I want to systematically, not in war, not in bombings or whatever, I want to systematically expunge a certain aspect of humanity.
Now, if that's not prototypically evil, if those two, and that's just any type of genocide to begin with, but genocide, that's another thing to do.
I want to eliminate all of you, not just the combatants.
That's a form of, I don't even know what that is.
Everything else, territory, I got it.
I understand it.
You're a general.
You're doing your thing.
I got it.
But for us to keep talking about it, and it makes us feel superior to say, well, you know, they're evil because man, because glory and love.
I heard this.
I almost puked.
It's like, what are you talking about?
You're making this sound like it's so easy to grasp, so apodictic, so absolute.
You know what I mean?
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
And we're talking about it, and we're not coming to any...
The UN General Secretary said...
Basically blamed Israel.
Blamed this.
It's from the United Nations.
Now, there's one thing when you can say, and I kind of know the theme of what they're saying.
They're saying that because of years and years of this, of not only Palestinian, whatever it is, years and years of this stuff, there have been examples of horrible behavior.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
All right.
I got it.
I got it.
But, What we're seeing here is something a little bit different.
We're basically saying to Israel, well, you had it coming.
Now look, how long are we going to do this?
I know.
I've got it.
I think Bibi's got it.
You blame Israel.
You blame Hamas.
And that's it.
Right?
I mean, that's it.
You blame Israel.
You blame Hamas.
That's it.
Everything else is just kind of a waste of time.
It's just a waste of time.
We're just, you know, I'm so sick of this.
And again, I told you this morning, I was listening for the first time this Fox morning, oh my God, about the Jewish settlers and the kibbutz.
This is Steve Doocy and the kibbutz.
Oh my God.
That one producer said, Steve, yeah, it's kibbutz.
It's kibbutz.
Do you not hear other people when you've only heard 50 different people use the word kibbutz?
Where are you getting kibbutz from?
Bloodthirsty maniacs indeed.
You are on fire today.
Well, but that's who mankind is.
Thank you, MD.
This is who mankind is.
We're always going to be like that.
There's no end to this.
There's no end.
You want to talk about stuff?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know what I've seen?
Do you know what I've been a part of in my life?
It's brutal.
It's beyond brutal.
My friend...
Let me stop right now and just thank you for this.
Let me remind you, if I could, please, please, please, please to subscribe to this channel.
It's so critical.
Like the video.
You have to do this.
And right now, I'm telling you, I am hearing, I am seeing more talk about energy and water and food.
And that's why you've got to listen to this.
The smartest thing that you can do right now is to pay attention.
And listen to what I'm telling you right now.
In the event of disaster, in the event of something calamitous, there are three things that are critical to survival.
Food, water, and energy.
I'm here to talk about the food part.
And that's preparewithlinel.com.
My Patriot Supply is simply the premier emergency food storage company in the world.
And they have right now a deal for you that I want you to pay attention to and avail yourself of.
It's $200 off a three-month emergency food supply kit.
Now, this is what everybody should have initially, but this will get you going.
This is an introductory.
We're talking a 25-year shelf life, 21 varieties of the most delicious foods and drinks and snacks you can imagine.
We're talking 120 pounds of food in resealable pouches with oxygen absorbers, 120 pounds of food in six water-resistant buckets that are modular and stacked perfectly.
They're simply the smartest things you can do, the wisest thing you can do, because I'm telling you, when there's calamity, when there's shutdown, when there's martial law, or tsunamis, or weather, or strikes, or riots, or whatever, stores close down.
And when stores close down, food is unavailable, and when food is unavailable, people are going to go nuts.
You know it, and I know it.
PrepareWithLionel.com.
Don't think.
Don't review this.
Don't give this a lot of thought.
Just do this.
Go to preparewithlionel.com and take care of this, take advantage of this, I should say, this incredible deal that's not going to last for a long time.
Preparewithlionel.com.
It's that serious.
That's why we're talking about crazy people.
We're talking about people needing food because if we were in a village, if we were in a village with actual people who thought and cared about each other, People say, there's no need for food.
There's always going to be food.
We'll help each other out.
Oh, no, no, no, not at all.
We love to talk about...
It was so funny.
I was talking today to a very good friend of mine.
He's a priest, Catholic priest.
Wonderful, wonderful man.
And, you know, he happens to be 102 years old.
And we're talking.
I said, you know...
I said, what do you make out of this?
And he uses words like...
Well, you know, he's a priest and everything, but he's using words like evil.
You know, he's evil.
This one's evil and that one's evil.
I thought, okay, I'm not going to argue the point.
I'm not going to say who's evil and what.
But I told him, I said, we're evil.
When I hear these folks talk about the sense of our religion is better, let me explain something to you.
We live in a world...
Right now, I know you don't want to talk about this, but we live in a world where people sell their kids into what amounts to slavery.
You got that?
Slavery.
And they then, this is family members, this is their own children.
This is their own children.
Think about what I'm saying.
And you want to talk about Hamas?
If somebody said to you, I want you to go in, and we're going to open fire on civilians.
Wow, that's impossible.
Unless you're Paul Tibbetts, right?
The Enola Gay, and then we're just dropping out a bomb.
Everywhere around us is this horrible stuff.
Now, if you want to get to the bottom of this, We have to figure out who are the people who are going to actually do something about negotiating.
Number one, Israel cannot go into Gaza and pound them.
Sorry.
You could talk about it all day long.
It's a waste of time.
You want to talk about that?
Go ahead.
I heard somebody on, was it Fox?
I forget, it was this morning.
Some guy, some ex, everybody.
And you know what the guy was doing?
He was basically trying to pitch for a spot on Fox.
But anyway, so what he did was, he was saying, Israel...
Israel has to do what it has to do.
Okay.
You know and I know they can't go into Gaza.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to flatten it first?
No.
You're going to flatten it.
You're going to go into Gaza.
And you're going to level it?
You're going to drop bombs?
You're going to say, everybody below this line, between 113 straight, back up.
Here we go.
Do you really think this?
Because I don't know how to tell you this in any other way than this way.
That's insane.
That is insane.
Now, you can say whatever you want, unless you're one of these people in YouTube land who want to be the big centurion.
It's the most incredible thing I've ever heard.
I mean, it's nuts.
It's absolutely crazy.
So what are you going to do instead?
You can go in and you can't do this.
Because you might as well tell the whole world we're here because they don't want to hear about well we have to take Gaza out because you don't understand Gaza is where they shoot the rockets.
They know this.
People I guess maybe like on Fox they think that I don't think they understand our position.
See the reason why we're going into Gaza is because of the fact that they Represent...
This is where Hamas...
I understand that.
And that's where the shoot them out.
And whenever you send in water or pipes or whatever it is, they're going to use them for...
So, if you blow up Gaza and just eliminate it from the face of the earth, Hamas goes away, right?
Wrong.
You've just made Hamas the hottest ticket in town.
You have just ensured recruitment from all over the world.
There are so many.
I heard names of militias and groups I've never heard of before, and I know you haven't either.
I've heard of more militias and folks you have never heard of in your life.
It's the most incredible thing I've ever heard.
I mean, it was just unbelievable.
Okay, so.
We have to ask ourselves the question, well, how exactly is this, you know, done, and what do we do, and what happens?
Somebody's going to have to come in, MBS, Erdogan, Xi Jinping, Putin, somebody who's respected, somebody who's from that neck of the woods, and says, we're going to put an end to this.
Hamas, you cannot do this anymore.
You cannot fire into...
I don't want to hear this, you know, Nakba stuff.
I don't want to hear about this 1948.
I'm tired of this.
We have to talk about a two-state solution.
Good luck with that.
Good luck.
That's impossible.
Two states.
I mean, even Stephen, you're going to argue over Jerusalem.
Who gets this?
Who gets that?
You've got to leave it.
It's never going to work out.
But at least it's somebody pretending to talk about something.
And don't forget, the PLO and Yasser Arafat.
Time after time after time, refused, refused, refused a settlement.
In fact, Abba Ibn had the great line that says, the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
So that's what's going on.
Let me explain something to you.
That's it.
So we can talk about this all day long.
You can watch Gut Bucket and Judge Jeanine or whoever, Claudia, Clarice, whatever, I don't know, whoever these...
And you can hear him joke about it and make these platitudes.
I'm sorry, but I think you know, beheading a child is wrong.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Judge Jeanine.
Thanks for clarifying that.
Didn't think about that one.
Wasn't sure.
Wasn't sure your position on basically the elimination of children.
This is where we...
This is the level.
This is the level of...
Discussion in our country.
Now, I did a piece.
I did a post today.
I did a little...
I guess you would call it a...
I don't know what the word is.
A post.
A video.
And it's called It's Not Just About Anti-Semitism.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Yeah, that's a part of it.
But that misses the point completely.
That's a part of it.
But that misses the point completely.
There it is right now.
That misses the point.
Do you think these people hate Israel because they're Jews?
Yeah?
Okay.
Let's go back in history.
Instead of Israel, let's say it was France.
Same thing.
Same group.
Same...
Apartheid, same, whatever you want to call it, but it was France.
What do you think about that?
What do you think?
What would they do?
What would they think?
What?
Do you think we'd have this problem?
Yes!
Yes!
Of course we'd have the problem.
Of course we'd have the problem.
Yes!
What are you talking about?
Do you think it's because they're Jewish?
I mean, that doesn't help.
With these people, but it's about land.
Do you remember what formed, what inspired the mafia?
La mafia Siciliana.
You know what it was?
The French.
Oh my God.
Sicily throughout the years was basically bombarded by everyone.
I mean bombarded.
Advanced, conquered by everyone who ever lived.
The Canadians would have done it had they been, whatever it was.
So to make a long story very, very, very short, they decided years ago that they would have enough of this.
And there's a story which they talk about, I don't know if it's true, but it was during the time of the 13th, 14th century, I don't know, and the French, the French were there, the Carthaginians, the Phoenicians, everybody took over Sicily.
Sicily had this inherent distrust of authority in the light.
Anywho, the story goes that a general, a lieutenant or somebody, had violated Sullied soil, the honor of this Sicilian young girl.
And they had enough, and slapped the father.
I mean, just added insult to injury.
And there were placards, theoretically, that were placed about, that said something to the effect of morte alla Francia, Italia anella, death to...
France is Italy's cry.
M-A-F-I-A.
Now, there's a lot of problem with that.
Because the word mafioso means strong.
It has nothing to do.
It's a separate story.
Mafioso is strong and bold and, you know, brio, bravado.
And this story was cute, but it doesn't really...
Anyway, make a long story short.
Make a long story short.
This, though a good story, but the point is France was tired of this.
It always did go to its own sense of honor and justice.
The man of honor.
You know, Vizzini, Calogero, Casioferro, who eventually worked with The American government post-World War II and then Gladio.
Anyway, so this is not something which is only seen in and regarding the Muslim world.
I'm telling you.
Not even close.
Now, sad to say, my friends, this isn't going to be fixed.
Unless somebody, not Joe Biden, and not whatever.
And when you say, I'm with Israel, that's okay.
But understand what you're doing.
Are you with Israel, or are you with the cause?
I think what Israel has done, I mean, we can litigate the past all day long, but Israel was attacked.
Brutally and viciously on October the 7th.
And it has the right to defend itself.
And it has the right to fight back.
Now you can ask, how long?
I don't know.
But it has the right.
You dig?
Capisce?
Okay?
Do you dig what I'm saying?
Do you dig what I'm saying?
Because the thing which is critical for people to understand and to kind of grasp is that irrespective of what you think about this, I am telling you.
I am telling you that this, how do I say this?
This issue is not, in my book, about Israel.
It's like you're saying, well, whatever Israel does, I think it's okay.
No, I'm not saying this in this way.
I would rather you tell me that I was right because what I was doing was right versus I'm right because you like me.
And what I'm doing is a little crappy, but I like you.
You're my friend.
That's what I would do.
That's the story.
Does that make any sense to you?
Does this make any sense?
Am I making any sense to you?
Tell me you understand this.
Blink once.
Because we keep repeating this shit all day long and it goes nowhere.
You're missing.
Palki Sharma was fantastic on First Post.
Oh my God, she was talking about Erdogan and the complexities and the interconnectivity with, oh, with Xi Jinping.
It was just beautiful.
I love that.
I love complex.
I love it.
That's what it's about.
And if terrorism works, it works.
If I want to get the attention, if I want to shock my enemy, what do you think I'm going to do?
What do you think I'm going to do?
This idea that, well, you know, we only shoot.
Our claim to fame at first is we hung, we, you know, hid behind trees, we wore red, and we, you know, they wore red.
The snipers, snipers, bushwhackers.
Sniping was considered to be so unfair and unimaginably horrible.
What are you doing?
You don't hide behind a tree and shoot somebody.
Yeah, you do.
No, that's not right.
What do you mean that's not right?
That's wrong.
There's something wrong.
You're nuts.
That's the way to fight the enemy.
You have guerrilla warfare.
What's guerrilla warfare?
Terrorism.
And what does terrorism do?
Terrorism makes you think that you can't go anywhere.
It makes me let you know that I can go anywhere you are.
I will take away your sense of freedom.
And I will take away your sense of control.
And I will take away your sense of being a part of this.
About knowing that you live in this country and that you're safe.
Because I'll just sneak in.
And if I really want to do something, and this is the part which is the most difficult for people to understand.
If I really want to do something, and I'm up against a neighbor or a person, whatever, I might want to show them, you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to have to do some really nasty stuff.
We've got stuff called napalm.
We've got flamethrowers.
I've got fragmentary grenades.
And what do you think the VC did in the NVA?
They had punji sticks.
Oh my god, those big things.
Punji sticks that were rubbed in excrement so that when you stepped on them you'd get an infection.
Oh dear lord.
Do you remember that?
What do you think that was?
Freaked out America.
Was that terrorism?
They said, this is our country.
You're coming over here.
Screw you.
You're going to step on some poop-covered stick and that's your problem.
We're not terrorism.
You're the terrorist.
Oh, no, no.
We're the terrorist.
We're wearing a uniform.
What does that mean?
And you don't think we do something like that?
When we went over there and we decided and we told the Iranians, you know what, we don't like your guy Mosaddegh.
We're going to put our guy in the Shah.
By the way, the Shah didn't want to have anything to do with it.
What does that make us?
Look, you've heard me say this before.
You're not stupid.
You're not stupid.
They treat you like you're stupid.
Half of the people on YouTube treat you like you're an idiot.
They say the same things all the time.
This is about evil.
No!
Is that what you say?
It's beyond that.
You want to talk about war?
I say people say football is brutal.
Uh-huh.
For boxing?
You want to knock somebody out?
You want to cause brain damage?
Yeah, right, right.
That's the way we do it.
What are you talking about?
Does this make sense to you?
Just nod.
You're very quiescent tonight.
You're very quiet.
You're not your usual self.
You're talking a lot of shite.
Is everything alright?
Are you okay?
You're not up to your same, you know.
Your usual stuff.
I'm pouring my heart out and you're like, uh-huh.
What's the matter with you?
I had a day that was so bad.
I didn't even know.
I can't put it in the words how bad it was.
It was a horrible, horrible day.
And it's amazing.
And I'm here and I'm pouring my heart out.
And you're just sitting by like, okay, whatever.
Are you talking about harp?
Okay.
Maybe, whatever.
Maybe I'll get you another time when you're more...
That's okay.
You don't have to be...
Look, you're busy.
Sometimes you're tired.
This is exhausting.
I love this stuff.
I can't get enough of it.
I love to argue moral relativism.
I'm sorry.
It's who I am.
I love it.
I don't like the behavior, but I like the discussion.
So anyway, that's it.
And to our dear friend MD tonight, You are the sole contributor to the effort.
Thank you.
You are the sole benefactor.
You are the one, the only.
You get the plaque.
You're it.
You're the guy.
That's it.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for your incredible generosity.
Makes you feel good, doesn't it?
I feel like I'm a dancer.
Like I'm on the pole and saying, how much did you make?
Two bucks?
Two bucks?
Didn't you bend over?
I bent over.
I did everything.
I picked up chains the hard way.
I did everything.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
All right, kids.
Now, tomorrow...
Tomorrow, I'm thinking to myself, I don't know what time I get back.
I got another business meeting.
Oh, no.
I don't want to do this.
I hate this.
I hate this.
But anyway, I think it may be 11. I think 11 may do it.
I think 10's not going to be...
I think 11. So anyway, make sure you are...
Sign up.
Make sure you're signed up.
And subscribe.
Anybody here not subscribed?
What is the matter with you?
I don't understand.
You've got to be subscribed.
That's all people care about.
You know the routine.
You don't mean to tell you.
Alright, dear friends.
You have a great and glorious day.
Don't ever change.
I mean that.
Maybe try some amphetamines.
That might help you out.
Give that a shot.
Maybe some coffee.
That might be good.
But I gave you 39 minutes, and that's it.
And like my grandmother said, in the old days, when the steps don't laugh, don't go in.
And that's okay.
It's all right.
I understand.
Look, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
Almond Joy's got nuts.
Almonds, whatever.
All right.
See you tomorrow.
11 a.m. probably.
I think I'm 11 a.m.
So in any event, remember this, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
