They must really think you're stupid, the Republican Party.
They are worthless.
A waste of flesh.
A waste of time.
I have no interest in them whatsoever.
They're going to lose again the level of stupidity that is being thrown at you, especially you.
You who believe you're a Republican?
Is that it?
I guess that's what you are.
They despise you.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
We're going to be talking about a lot of stuff from last night.
First and foremost, President Trump's speech and debate.
It's not really a debate.
He was doing kind of a counter in Hialeah.
How do you think he does?
Does his message work?
Is it the same old canned stuff over and over again?
I ask you.
I think he needs to brush up on the material.
It's okay, but I've heard it before.
We're going back to 2016 again.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, bless her heart, not exactly a ball of fire.
I hope her health is okay.
But that was just...
That's not the way to do it.
We need different stagecraft.
If I hear, we've got to change this, I'm proud to be an American, you need to fix things, you need to change things.
Next, we're going to be talking about when obviously gay politicians go out of their way to say, I'm not gay, I'm not gay.
Throughout history, there have been two groups of people in politics.
One, the ones who say, admit that they're gay, or say that they're gay, or it doesn't even matter.
We're not talking about Pete.
We're not talking about him.
We're talking about others.
And before Harvey Milk, why do people do this?
Oh, I got a girlfriend.
See?
See, I got her.
Here she is.
Right, honey?
Right?
What's your name again?
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
There you go.
Remember, Corey...
By the way, I'm not...
I don't know who's gay and who isn't.
I don't think it matters.
Remember when Corey Booker all of a sudden said, look, Rosario Dawson.
See?
She's my boo.
See?
See, there you go.
Tim Scott, they're saying, look, I got a girlfriend.
And they always say, does it matter that he's not married?
For somebody who is not gay, you're doing everything in your power to tell people, I'm gay.
That's what they're saying.
It doesn't matter.
It shows duplicity.
If you're going to lie about this, if it's true, and let me just say, once and for all, there's nothing wrong with being gay.
It's not against the law.
I don't care.
I just don't want you to think that you're fooling me.
Okay?
That's all.
But why do people do that?
We're going to talk about Vikramaswamy who gave it to that Nikki Haley whom I despise.
Nikki Haley is as phony as the day is long.
Called him scum because she wants to destroy or dismantle TikTok when her daughter is on it.
Was that unfair?
I don't think so.
Also, we're going to be talking about...
Again, the First Amendment is dead in this country.
They just want to just...
She wants to shut down TikTok.
Why?
Well, because it's...
Why?
The government?
No!
What are you doing?
Wait, wait, what?
Now we want to stop people who are, quote, anti-Semitic?
We're doing that again?
And Israel and Gaza and Hamas?
Out of control.
Off the chains.
Off.
Good luck with that one, my friend.
Good luck with that one.
So first of all, I'm glad you're here.

But first, before we begin, a very critical word from a very critical sponsor during these critical times.
Dark clouds are gathering as markets shudder.

Currency stumbling.

And remember, there's always a risk of investment and there's no guarantee of any kind.
I think it goes without saying, my friends, that none of us really cares whether anybody is gay.
It doesn't matter to me.
The only thing I care about regarding gay politicians is that they might be able to have it used against them in the event of some type of, I don't know, blackmail.
That's it.
That's it.
Next.
When there are rumors about people being gay, it's always true.
It's the weirdest thing.
It's the strangest thing.
It's one of these things where you think, I mean, I've got, I don't know about you, but we've always had friends, and I keep asking myself the question, why is anybody caring about this?
But I've had friends who've never, never seen them with a girl, a woman, never, ever, you know, and they're like, okay, and you think to yourself, isn't this, isn't this, I mean, and that's just not it.
Remember that classic All in the Family when Archie thought that Mike, the meathead's friend, the photographer, was gay, but it was really his tough friend, the Marine?
That was the gig?
It was great.
So, Tim Scott all of a sudden says, hey, I got a girlfriend.
Okay.
Now, I have to tell you.
I have to tell you this.
This is just to me.
Look at this.
Why do we care whether Republican candidate Tim Scott has a girlfriend?
New York Magazine, September.
Does Tim Scott's girlfriend actually exist?
Because whenever you bullshit people, they get offended.
It's like, it's not the lie.
It's not the lie.
It's the fact that you're lying.
If it's true.
Who does this?
Well, I've got this surprise.
Remember, it's not the lie.
It's the cover-up.
We don't care about it.
Cory Booker was my favorite.
Rosario doesn't.
This is my boo.
I don't know whether Cory Booker is gay.
There's always been talks about it.
Okay, fine.
And now they've broken up.
Cory, stop it!
I don't understand.
You only make it interesting when you deny it, and then you do these things like, no, no, here she is, Charlie Christa.
Governor of Florida.
They ask, are you?
Oh no, I'm married.
Jim McGreevey.
This was the best one.
Jim McGreevey was the governor of New Jersey.
And everybody knew he was gay.
But he was married.
But everybody knew it.
And I remember one time I was in a newsroom of a radio station.
I'll never forget this.
I was in a newsroom.
And lo and behold.
I'll never forget this.
We were sitting in a...
Oh, oh!
And they said, oh, there's a big announcement coming up about Jim McGreevy.
And all the news people said, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is it?
What is it?
Yeah, this is incredible.
Yeah.
How did we say this?
He said...
Remember they said, maybe he's in trouble.
Quiet, quiet, quiet!
And he says, this is a big announcement.
I'll never forget this.
And Jim McGreevy says, my friends, I'd like to tell you that I am gay.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Okay, so what is he going to announce?
I swear to God, people say, well, we all knew this.
You knew it.
You weren't fooling anyone with this.
It's just like when Eric Adams says, I'm a vegan.
No, you're not.
You're eating fish, and you can't, you, but don't, just don't lie.
Don't bullshit us.
That's the word.
It's simple.
It doesn't even matter.
You thought that was going to work?
That's why I find bad toupees so offensive.
I don't care whether you get a toupee or wear a hat with hair or whatever it is.
Do you think I think that's real?
Do you think that I'm so stupid?
You're insulting me with that.
That's like if I wore a A bathing cap and I write hair.
Do you?
I mean, that to me is telling you this.
Ed Koch, they wondered for years, he's gay.
He never, he was from a different time, but everybody knew it.
And it's been going around.
Now, there has been, have been legions, legions of gay folks in politics for Ever.
And nobody knew because nobody cared.
But when you lie, what if somebody lied about being black?
Excuse me.
Remember Rachel Dolezal?
But in reverse.
Are you African American?
Oh, yes, I am.
Are you really?
Your parents?
Well, you know, whatever.
What if it was the opposite?
What if they said, President Obama, are you black?
No.
Wait a minute.
What?
Oh, no, no, no.
Here's my mother.
What about your father?
He's white.
You're lying to me.
Not that it matters, but you're lying to me.
It's one of those things.
And if you think this is good, Hollywood?
Oh, that's the best.
They all know.
Everyone knows.
Always.
Always, always, there's every concern, and the best part of Hollywood, even they lie, and that's the town of freaks.
By the way, you do know that Hollywood is dead.
What you knew it to be, what you believed it to be, TV is dead.
There's always these folks you'll see, Who have been in TV news.
TV news especially is dead.
And people will say, well, you know, I'm moving elsewhere.
I'm moving on.
They fired you.
No, they didn't fire you.
Or they didn't offer you any money.
No, no, no.
I'm just moving on.
You're moving on.
Why would you give up that gig?
That's the easiest thing in the world.
You're on TV.
You're a narcissist.
Why would you not want to be?
Oh, no, I'm going to go on and I'm going to...
I don't understand.
The lies and the deception.
Listen, all you have to do is just get with the program.
Don't ask why.
Just understand what's being changed.
That's all.
What's being changed?
What's new?
What's different?
What's happening?
That's all you have to do.
Don't fight it.
Insidious, ladies and gentlemen, my wife Victoria loves when I listen to your show.
Now why is that?
In?
Because she gets you out of her hair?
I wonder, but thank you.
And thank your wife.
She obviously has some...
Talent and picking out stuff.
You and me, I guess, for me.
I'm not really sure, but thank you.
Things are changing.
Things are just, everything is just changing.
But what is not changing is that there's this closeted thing where people still think, like, number one, that you can hide this from people.
But yet, Americans are sometimes so stupid, you know, they might not know this.
I remember years ago it was Melissa Etheridge was it Yes I Am?
I think her album was I think it was called Yes I Am or something.
It should have been called No Shit because everybody knew it!
Everybody knew it!
What are you talking about?
But there was a time Interestingly enough, regarding this, when we were hipper, but it didn't matter.
When I was a kid, my grandmother and my cursed sister, and we always loved to watch as a kid, Liberace.
We didn't know what gay was.
It didn't matter.
They didn't know what it was, but it was Liberace.
It didn't even come up.
Didn't even come up.
There was Paul Lind.
When we were kids, he was like, what is that?
He didn't come up.
We might have known, not known.
When I was a kid, we had this thing going on where we heard these urban legends, mythology, I don't know what you want to call them.
And one of them was, they said, this was very good, they said, Jim Neighbors and Rock Hudson got married.
I remember hearing this.
Now, I heard this.
And there's a friend of mine, one of my best buddies, he's born in the South Bronx, he heard the same thing.
This is before the internet.
Now, how didn't I hear this and he heard this?
And we kept saying, they got married?
What does that mean?
We also heard that Eddie Haskell was killed in Vietnam, or the Beaver was killed in Vietnam, Jerry Mathers, or...
That Alice Cooper was Jerry Mathers or that the kid Mikey from the Life Serial, he died because he had Pop Rocks and soda and all these weird things, these stories.
But it was never...
This is the best part.
While we said maybe they were gay, we didn't point fingers.
It wasn't they're gay and they're bad.
It was just they're gay.
We didn't even know what gay meant.
That's what I'm trying to say.
There was no recrimination.
There was no...
Didn't matter.
I always heard stuff about Perry Mason.
Perry Mason!
What?
You know?
But later on we cared about it.
We didn't care about it then.
And the reason why sometimes I always harken back to my particular generation when I was a kid is because things were...
Better than, and I'm telling you, in some cases, and I'm telling you why they were better.
Why they were better.
Why they made sense.
Does that make any sense to you?
Good.
Now, let's talk about this.
How did you think Donald Trump did?
Now, I'm asking you a question.
And the question that I'm asking you, oh, my mug is dirty.
The question I'm asking you is this.
Please, I'm not asking you if you want him to be the president.
I'm not asking you if you want him to be famous or popular.
I'm not asking you that.
I'm not asking you this.
I have a poll that is up on our thing.
People love polls.
And I ask the question, who will be The 2024 POTUS.
73% say Donald Trump.
Joe Biden, 2%.
Gavin Newsom, 8%.
None of the above, 16%.
What this means is, you want Donald Trump.
You want him.
Not that he will be.
Not that you think he is.
Not that you think.
You want him to.
And I can't get away from that.
And you say, oh no, no, no.
You want him to.
Did you see last night's show?
Did you see, excuse me, did you see his, pardon me, his speech in Hialeah?
Did you?
And by the way, Hialeah is, if ever you want to see something, Hialeah, I haven't been in Miami in a long time, but years ago, when I was in, just out of law school, we said, Trundle on down to Miami.
And Hialeah was basically little Cuba.
In the banquet I made a sign that says, we speak English.
So Cuban.
By the way, the greatest food, I mean, you will...
Nobody doesn't like Cuban food.
Nobody.
Nobody.
Anyway.
And what did you think of what Trump did?
How did he do?
You write, need Trump.
But this time it'll be different.
I like that.
What will be, will be.
Que sera sera.
Which means, by the way, what evening, what evening.
The way Doris Day said it.
S-E-R-A is what evening, what evening.
I'm not giving up.
Where there is life, there is hope.
What does that mean?
Angelica, I love you.
What do you mean?
I'm not giving up.
Now, by the way, let me explain to you.
Bring up a good point.
Here's what I want you not to do.
Give up?
What does that mean, give up?
What does it look like when an American gives up?
What does it mean you're going to give up?
Give up?
Nobody wants you to give up.
What does that even look like?
What does it even say?
Give up?
No.
But do me a favor.
Lighten up.
Relax.
Get with the program.
I'm going to give you an analogy, and I say this with all due respect, What I think are some of the greatest people in the world, special ed teachers.
Special ed teachers go in there with the idea that I'm going to take this group of students, I'm going to expand and try to improve upon their...
I'm going to improve upon their...
Their talents, their abilities, based upon, within the limitations, given the limitations of their particular cognitive, emotional, neurological, whatever the limitations are.
I'm not going to give up on them.
I'm going to work with them.
And if somebody were to say, Mrs. Merriweather, yes.
You know, we gave your class a standardized test, yes?
And they scored poorly in math.
She could very well say, yes, I realize that, because they are special needs.
Oh!
I understand.
This is not meant to mock.
You don't go in there thinking you're going to teach algebra to special needs kids.
But what you can do is to provide them with much as far as interpersonal skills, reality skills, a variety of other matters.
Now, here's the issue.
And this is critical.
When I deal with the American people, when I talk to people on various platforms, I look at them the way a teacher looks at special education.
Let me explain.
Not as an insult.
But this is the...
When people see this guy here, they go berserk.
Okay?
They go berserk.
By the way, this is my pen.
See this little pen?
This is my...
Part of my collection.
Part of my collection.
They see Trump and they go berserk.
Either positive or negative or whatever it is.
I don't know why.
I don't really know why.
I don't really know what the deal is.
And sometimes people will say, are you watching Trump?
Yes.
Isn't he great?
And they get upset.
Why?
Because they're special.
They do not have the ability.
To step back and assess what he's doing and remove themselves from the calculus of their own particular focus.
I'm sorry to say this, but that's the truth.
They are unable to step back and look at this within the calculus of their own particular worldview.
They can't do it.
I don't know how to say this in any other way than this.
They can't do it.
They will not look at anything.
There are people who are non-voters.
Mrs. L and I were saying, how is it, how is it that in the city of New York, with crime, with shoplifting, with obviously the worst possible leadership in the world, how is it that these people, how is it that these people represent, this is important, how is it that these people still vote?
Vote for because they are special.
Not that they're mentally, but they do not understand that the people and the party that they have aligned themselves with are directly responsible for the complete and total disaster and the collision course that this country is on.
They don't understand that.
Do you understand how that is?
They don't do it.
Why don't people vote?
Their special needs.
They don't vote.
They don't see any type of involvement, any necessity in voting.
They don't see this.
They don't understand this.
In New Jersey, after...
With Phil Murphy, with LGBT, after these failed and these horrible wind turbines off of the Jersey Shore, you'd think people would be furious.
It was almost unanimously democratic.
Nothing changed.
Nothing.
MAGA doesn't exist.
The red wave doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist.
Why do you think that is?
It's because they're special.
Americans are special.
Why did Trump come along in 2016?
Part of the reason why is because he won and part of it is why is because they didn't make Hillary win.
So let me ask you something.
Tell me one thing that Donald Trump did that was not beneficial because he hasn't had a rally in a while and people have been only talking about him with that court case.
Tell me one thing that he did that you did not think was a good idea.
What was a good idea?
Tell me.
Tell me.
What is it?
What do you think it was?
And I'm serious, and I want you to sit back, and I want you to be clear, and I want you to tell me what he did that you thought he could have done a little bit better.
He could have changed this.
He could have not done this.
He could have dropped this.
He could have added this.
He could have...
Because, by the way, he looks remarkably similar.
Does he understand this?
You understand this?
People...
You must understand this.
You must grasp this.
He looks exactly the same.
Okay?
What does he need to do?
And this is my example.
You represent the smartest and the best and the most explicitly attuned and connected people, Able to talk about this.
What do you think?
What could he have said?
What should he have done?
What?
And this is where people don't understand it.
What could he have said?
I don't know if you know why I'm asking these questions.
Because people don't understand.
What do you mean?
What could he have done differently?
But I like him.
I'm not asking you whether you like him.
I want you to sit somebody down.
I want you to sit down.
I want you to sit down.
Who are you?
Oh, I hate Trump.
Okay, good.
I want you to watch him.
Why do you hate him?
Tell me what's...
Some people will say, well...
I hate him because he's a Republican.
Okay, fine.
But somebody might be, you know, I'm kind of in the middle of the road and I'm really...
I don't know.
What is he?
He's been saying the same stuff now since 2016.
I need something different.
I've heard the same.
It's the same album.
You can't play the same songs over and over again.
It's like the Beach Boys could do it, but nobody can do it.
Look at this.
Massive fan from Australia.
Will $10 buy a happy birthday to my girlfriend Carly for this Sunday?
Absolutely.
Love the show of Mrs. L. Cheers, Will.
Oh, listen.
You let me know.
Bless your heart.
I was just thinking about your Oceania.
And what is happening, Will?
What is happening to the demise and the total disrespect for freedom of speech that we're seeing on a regular basis in Australia?
I can't believe what I am seeing.
Dear God, but thank you.
Sparky says, lately, YouTube censored Super Chat, so much on your channel.
As to block most political ones, severely reducing SuperJet total.
There must be decision makers in my audience, so YouTube targets you.
I wish somebody would explain, and this is important, when you say it censors you, what does that mean?
And I believe you and I thank you, Sparky.
What does that mean?
I wish somebody would send me, do me a favor.
Screenshot me.
Send me something.
What does that mean?
I never write...
I guess I don't do it enough.
But I don't...
I mean, I write things down and I don't have anybody who says, you can't write that.
I don't understand what that means.
I have no idea what that means.
But thank you for that.
And by the way, we're talking about free speech.
I'm going to jump a little bit.
I don't know where you stand in Israel.
I don't know where you...
what your take is, but it is done.
This argument.
This is nuts.
This is nuts.
Let me stop right now.
Somebody writes, it means you won't allow to send certain messages.
What messages?
What?
Send me an email.
Explain this to me.
I can see my comments, but nobody else can.
It's been happening to me for a while now.
I check on my wife's account to verify.
I really will.
I'm serious because we don't know.
Any current news event trigger will trigger the filter.
I've been seeing questions on vaccines and the word Israel.
I don't know.
I don't understand this.
I don't understand them.
I wrote Israel.
There it is.
I mean, I don't know.
And I'm not suggesting that what you're saying is not true.
Please, do not think.
But I want so much to say, hey, what about this?
Or let me research this.
That's all.
Because I need...
Let me try this again.
When I go to someone and say, hey, this is what's happening, they're going to say, well, what do you mean?
Well, they say this.
Well, can you give me an example?
I don't know.
So that's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
So the more you can help me, the better it is, and I appreciate that.
I want to talk very, very seriously about Israel, how that...
That is an absolute...
That is so sad, what is happening.
And all discussion has come to a complete and total end regarding that.
A complete and total end.
It is beyond horrible.
Let me stop and remind you, please make sure you're subscribing to the channel.
Make sure you're hitting that little like button.
Make sure you do everything that you need to do.
And more importantly, this is so, so, so, so, so critical.
But more importantly, you have to like videos, and you have to be a part of this thing called the algorithm.
And it's the thing which is the ultimate in...
Because if you think you've got suspicions, you don't even know the suspicions.
Why do you think I'm such a free speech fanatic?
But in any event, I want you to listen carefully to these particular words, these special, special words from our special, special sponsor.

Hang on one second.
Let me go back here.
Okay, just a second here.
Okay, we got Sparky.
Yep, there's YouTube.
Okay.
Sparky, do another one too.
Just a minute.
Just pardon me.
I want to go to...
Oh!
Insidious and Sparky is correct.
This happened to me earlier when I was trying to compliment you and your wife about the work you do with trafficking.
Interesting.
Sparky says, in response to something like, message not sent, please edit your comment.
Certain words or phrases aren't allowed and it varies day to day.
Lately, I can't even use the word symbols to encode.
That's fascinating.
I was also reading something right now which says, unable to send.
Which is very interesting.
Very, very interesting.
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
But I thank you for this.
Absolutely.
Maybe we should use Spanish or something.
Isn't that...
Amen.
Thank you.
you Thank you.
The conversation...
Oh, Laurie Cook, by the way.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh.
Says our country is being invaded.
I'm sick of supporting everyone but us.
Could not have said it better myself.
Invaded.
Laurie, wait till Hamas and Hezbollah are here.
They're here.
They're here, right?
You know that, right?
They're here.
I mean, they're here.
Right?
And I don't really want to get dark.
I don't really want to get dark.
Okay?
But somebody somewhere is going to figure out, you know, Bebe, you might be able to change some public perception if somehow America was able to kind of understand a little bit better what you're talking about, if you know what I mean.
Silver Fox says, late typing, sorry, back to Trump, he needs to pick a loyal and trustworthy staff of advisors that he will, thank you, that he will listen to.
That, that, that.
That he will listen to.
That's the part which is the most important.
That he will listen to.
I don't know how to even explain this to folks.
I don't know how to...
There's something about Trump the way he is.
But let me just tell you something.
Take the polling today.
As is.
Whatever it is.
Israel, Hamas, Gaza, whatever.
If something happens here, something that is significant enough to garner the attention of others, watch what happens to public opinion then.
Watch what happens to public opinion.
It changes drastically.
That scares me even more.
Because I'm not the only person to recognize this.
Okay?
Bibi Netanyahu, right now, even Ehud Barak, and others are saying Ehud Elmert, or is it Barak?
I've got to check.
I think it's Elmert, Ehud Elmert.
Hang on a minute.
It might be Elmert.
Just a minute here.
There's This is...
Hang on a minute.
Yes, Ehud Olmert.
Ehud Olmert.
He says that Netanyahu was in a state of nervous breakdown as he sought to avoid being thrown out of office for failing to safeguard national security.
This meant Israel was now...
Steering off course strategically, Omer went on, insisting the priority should be to negotiate an endgame with the international community involving a return to talks on the formation of a Palestinian state, rather than turning back the clock to full military oversight.
That's what he's saying right now.
I don't know about you, but this is just, this just doesn't make any sense.
None of this makes...
Any sense at all.
I am telling you.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Are you crazy?
Seriously.
Are you out of your mind?
You're going to control Gaza?
I don't care who you are.
Israeli, Palestinian, Jewish, non-Jewish, whatever.
No!
You're going to take Gaza back?
Is that what you're even talking about?
What is it?
What is going on here?
I'm going to make it real simple to you.
You've got that argument over here.
I don't want to be drawn into this.
I don't want American soldiers going I don't want innocent Americans to be targeted by some very nasty people who view what we are doing as aiding and abetting their enemy.
Now, if that's problematic to you, I don't know what to tell you.
This is different than any other issue that Israel has been through.
Anything.
We've always sat back and said, well, even during Lebanon, well, gotta be careful with that.
They got a point.
They got the right to exist.
And nothing really, you know.
And we always said, that was over there.
That was over there.
This is different.
This is going to be BDS again.
This is going to be the level of international protesting.
The level of the ferocity.
And the volume of the voices is like nothing I ever even thought was remotely possible.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
And here is the deal.
Here is the deal.
You've got to ask yourself this question.
We have to ask ourselves.
And by the way, something happens whenever you use the word Israel.
When you use it, it changes everything.
It changes the calculus.
If I said Algeria, people would be far more interested.
I said the same thing about Russia.
I would say, that's Russia's business.
Let them figure this out with Ukraine.
It's none of our business.
Don't goad them.
Don't provoke them.
Don't set up these false narratives so that NATO somehow is the beneficiary of this.
Do not...
Do this.
Okay?
Do not do this.
This is what we can't explain enough to you.
Now I want to ask you this question.
And I still, and I can't get anybody to answer this question.
I take a piece, here's my thing, okay?
I take a piece of paper.
And what do I do?
I take this.
Okay?
And I write this thing on there.
I have pictures of kidnapped Israelis.
October the 7th.
Right?
I write a kidnap.
Put a QR code.
And I put adhesive on it.
And I go up to places.
And I stick it to traffic boxes or poles or walls.
Or...
I don't really ask permission.
I just do it.
They're all over the city here.
All over the place.
It's not like a BLM sign.
It's not like a Trump political campaign.
It's not on my lawn.
It's not my property.
I take this thing and I stick it on something and one could even say...
I think you're defacing something.
Do you have the authority?
Why are you putting this on?
What do you mean, why am I putting this on?
Because it's for a valid cause.
It's about hostages.
Yeah, I know it's about hostages, but you're putting this on.
I don't think you own the light poles or the traffic boxes or the signal or bus stop.
You're just sticking them places.
Okay.
So somebody comes up and says, hey, what's this?
Wait a minute.
And they tear it down, right?
Now, is that anti-Semitism?
Is that anti-Semitism?
Yes or no?
I say, no, it could be part of it, but that might be a, a trespassorial removing of something, or two, it could be its own statement.
That is valid, or it could be none of the above.
Sparky says, YouTube knows who is your audience and tries to keep your show from implementing them against the preferred establishment globalist narrative.
You know what, Sparky?
I don't even know how to...
I can't...
I can't even begin to find fault with your particular itemization of opinion.
But what I don't understand, Sparky, is in other areas, in other channels, in other platforms, the message is unimpeded.
It's unimpeded.
My message here is unimpeded.
You say what you want.
We say what you want.
Nobody's stopping.
The question we're having is super chats, contributions, donations, things like that.
But if you want to hear something, listen to Scott Ritter.
Or Mearsheimer or the Durand.
Nobody, I mean, they're speaking.
Everybody's speaking.
You should hear what people are saying now about COVID.
I can't believe what's going on.
The question we're having is, it seems like in some particular cases, there might be the perception that maybe there's a kind of a, I don't know if there's an algorithm.
Who knows?
I have no idea.
You can write it, but it's only Super Chat.
Or donations that seem to trigger this, which is interesting.
Does that make any sense to you?
Does that make sense to you?
See, because I have a huge, I have an absolutely huge problem with anybody's speech being limited.
Let me go back to what I'm saying.
If you have this woman, this profane, I don't know what the Palestinian, you know, the colors are.
I don't know the name of it, but you know what I'm talking about.
And they always have this person on TV.
You know, when they're just scowling and they're mean and they're tearing things down and they've got that headdress and all this stuff.
And lo and behold, lo and behold, there's this story where somebody comes, And they rip down this poster or this flyer or this placard or whatever it is that was affixed to something that is in the public.
And then you want me to arrest this person?
What about the person who puts...
You know, we have it in the sign that says...
Post no bills.
Whenever there's any kind of boarding up, people put up, you know, people coming to the Beacon or whatever.
There's always somebody sticking some ad up or whatever it is.
Why do I get to decide or to put stuff up?
Now, do you think anybody's going to be upset if I were to pull down a pro-Palestinian sign?
Is anybody going to be there as well?
Is there going to be the hue and cry of people saying, you can't do that.
That's anti- Islamophobia?
I don't even know what the hell that means.
I don't even know what this means.
Does this make any sense to you?
Does this make any sense to you?
Oh, good news about their friends.
Yes.
Interesting.
We'll talk about that.
I don't want to cause any attention to them.
Tell me you understand my free speech thing.
Let me give you an example.
I'm going to say this again for the millionth time.
Sparky says, the other shows may not have the specific decision maker in their audience.
You are a popular New York City personality after all.
Oh!
Well, Sparky, there you go.
I'm going to tell this.
By the way, I'm a popular New York City personality.
Believe it or not, I'm really not.
Popular?
And I will tell you this much, and I'm very proud of this.
Most people can't stand me because they know that I have nothing but contempt for them.
You see, Sparky, let me stop for a second.
Let me stop for a second.
And this is the most important thing in the world.
If I meet you, and we were to get to know each other, there's one thing that I ask of you, Which is so important.
Be authentic.
Oh, by the way, Sparky, we know we've been targeted.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I could give you...
You have no idea.
In fact, it's in a weird way, it's kind of a red badge of courage, so to speak.
Sparky says, isn't it...
Agent Provocateur is tearing down the posters?
Well, it could be.
But the question I have, Sparky, is if I were to...
Let me say this again.
Okay, now I'm going back.
I'm jumping back.
I say I'm going to tell you, very frankly, because I'm losing...
I say something and then you say something to inspire a new thought and I derail myself.
I become desultory and elliptical.
And that's the way that goes.
All I ask is you are authentic.
I have friends of mine I like.
They're real.
They're weird.
But that's the way they are.
They're not phonies.
That's the way they are.
I'll take that any day.
Any day.
Any day.
Have you ever had people with volume control?
Talk loud?
I think they're...
I think there's a part of me, I don't want to say on the spectrum because I don't want to make light of that, but I'm very sensitive to noise and I'm very sensitive.
I just, I go berserk.
If I'm in a party, I can't take it.
I can't.
I can't because I hear everybody's conversation at the same time and I can't filter them out and I just hate them.
But if that's the way you are, that's okay.
That's groovy.
If that's the way you are...
Let me stop for one second.
This is important because I've got to make sure I get this one in because we're going to talk about...
Look at this.
I like this.
This is great.
Lori Cuck says, we're all just watching a movie.
Oh, aren't we all?
Stand by for a second because speaking of a poor guy, and I told you this before, the Mike Lindell...
We're a MyPillow family since...
Believe me when I tell you this.
Believe me, okay?
I'm not just saying that, and when I say about Christmas time and all this, the slippers, they sell more probably than anything you can imagine.
But when they went after him, because he dared to say such and such, and he said this about, do you think, now with all due respect, when it comes to libel, and Mike Lindell is a powerful man, Do you think Mike Lindell is capable of doing $2 billion worth of damage?
Do you think so?
If Mike Lindell says horse racing is fixed, I'm just saying as an example, could he shut down horse racing?
Remember when Oprah Winfrey one time said, you're not going to see me eating a burger?
Remember that?
And the beef futures just plummeted?
Do you think she's that powerful?
Apparently so.
Apparently so.
But is she entitled to say that?
Yes.
Yes.
Are people entitled to speak?
Yes.
And if you don't like them, and if you're going to say, you're saying that Mike Lindell destroyed $2 billion of business?
Wow!
Mike, you're in the wrong business.
You should be endorsing voting machines.
Either way, that remains to be answered in the courts.
But all I know is Mike Lindell, they came after him, and Bed Bath& Beyond came after him because they said, we're just going to jump on the...
The pile, so to speak.
We're going to be walking around with our pitchforks and torch, and we're going to teach you a lesson.
Well, you know what?
Not if I can help him.
And that's why this is here.
Let me tell you about my great friends at MyPillow.com.

Let me go back to what I was saying.
In fact, Sparky brings this thing up and I gave this the other day as an example.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, Let's assume, but before that, wait a minute, there he is.
You know him, you love him from parts unknown, weight unknown.
The king of, the Pope, the Pope of this channel, Eric Thaddeus Walter says, Israel like Belgium.
I like the way you're spelling it.
Like, we're going to call you Mr. Phonetics.
Israel, like Belgium.
Belgium's okay.
Iraq's okay.
Italy's okay.
Kosovo.
And Ukraine.
Ukraine versus bomb crane.
Are very recent artificial constructions without regard for historical sociocultural realities.
Oh, yes.
Well, that is true.
But you know, Eric, one of the things which is the most interesting, and I appreciate it again for your kindness and your beneficence, sir.
Sometimes, if you keep looking close enough and long enough, you will think that, well, maybe that's the reason for such.
I don't know.
I don't know.
All I know is this, and please, if I'm all over the place this morning, I'm sorry, because there's like nine different, I want to answer questions and finish the thought of whatever it is.
But there has always been, for the longest time, and no matter what anybody says.
You better be real careful what you say about Israel.
And I admired it.
I mean, you better really be careful.
You better watch what you're saying.
You better watch what you're saying.
And it was because whether you said, well, it was because of a lobby.
I don't know if it was a lobby, but it's true.
And I said that out of respect.
There were things that you just, my God.
Certain things in this country, if you say the wrong thing about black folks, not white folks, black folks, oh, you're doomed.
Say the same thing about a white folk, it's okay.
You know how it works.
Israel was in that country.
The NRA in the old days, if you even hinted.
They called it Slippery Slope.
Oh, oh, oh, you don't like Cop Killer Bullets?
Well, they come after you.
And they just, wow!
I thought, that's a lobby.
That's the way to do it.
And people, and you could always tell in Congress, people who were just mouthing it.
And I thought, but why can't we treat Israel like everybody else?
No, no, no, no, no.
That was then.
And I understand the history.
By the way, go to Israel.
Listen to what they say.
What you hear in Israel and the streets of Jerusalem, you couldn't say here.
Well, in the old days, perhaps.
Sparky says, funny, I don't have a natural inside voice.
I have to make an extra effort to lower my volume.
Apparently, because of my physical structure, my voice resonates and carries through thick concrete.
You know, it's funny you say that.
And thank you, Sparky.
We have...
There was a place we went to.
We had this woman who checked out.
If I had a movie, I would have a character named after her.
There was a store we'd go to, and it was a young lady, and she was very efficient.
And they called her high-functioning autistic.
I don't even know what that means.
I said, okay.
And I thought it was great.
This woman never skipped a day at work.
It could be the worst snowstorm.
It could be a typhoon, a tsunami, a cyclone.
She takes the bus.
She's there.
She takes her job seriously.
But, her voice.
And she does this, how are you?
And she's so, that's her friendly voice.
And it's so loud.
It scares people.
And she goes out into the lane and pulls people into...
She, like, poaches people from other, you know, aisles.
Not aisles, but, you know, checkout number one, two, three, four.
And they're getting rid of them now because they have all this checkout stuff.
Anyway.
And she kind of pisses off her co-workers and nobody wants to deal with her because she's loud.
How are you?
So one day...
We had a case of water underneath.
And normally, the case of water is underneath.
So what I would do is I would say, if you give me your gun, you know that little gun you squeeze for the UPC or whatever?
I'd say, oh, and the woman gave me the gun, and I'd go, beep, and then hand it back to her so I don't have to pick it up, and she doesn't have to walk around.
Okay.
I tell this one, oh no, me turn the gun over to you.
What?
I can't do that!
Okay, so I went to pick it up.
She goes, you don't have to pick it up!
So she like leans over and I'm thinking, this is the weird, I said, I don't like this.
I don't like the way I'm feeling.
I don't like any of this.
So anyway, so the manager sees what's going on, hears this.
Over the entire den of the normally kind of a pretty big supermarket.
And she walks over and says, use your inside voice.
Use your inside voice.
And she said, okay.
And by the way, I'm not going to complain.
I just don't go to her because she scares me.
But I would be with her.
She's, this is it.
She's it.
She's not kidding.
It's not fake.
I will adjust because I know what it is.
I have these other people who are foolish.
They are phony.
They think they're...
And I know it.
And I always think, you know, just let it go.
And I want to call them out on stuff and I can't.
I don't want to have anything to do with them.
And they speak in a nice, calm voice.
And they're very quiet.
But they're insincere.
There's no truth to these people.
I hate that.
Just make sure you are legit.
That's all I want.
Good or bad.
I mean, I like you.
But I definitely will not like you if I think you're a phony.
And there are people who will go and they say, I'm going to go around and I'm going to tear down these These Israel kidnapping things because I believe in Palestine.
Okay, fine.
Then there are others who say, okay, let's go out for our...
Where to put my head...
Where is it?
You know, my Palestinian...
We got that.
You got the TikTok.
By the way, you know that duck lips are out.
Now it's scrunch face.
Did you hear this?
Duck lips are out.
Scrunch face is it.
Anyway, so they go out and they're doing it to make...
to artificially create the impression that they're...
I mean, they may care about it, but not really.
They want to go on, become viral.
I have no time for that.
But here's my thing, and that was a very long way to get it.
I'm sorry.
If there's this thing and I tear it down, what if it was a swastika?
Is anybody going to call the police because they tore down a swastika?
No.
And putting a swastika, that's not against the law.
It's not against the law.
It might be in Germany, but not here.
So what you're doing is, and this is what I'm trying to do.
Please, if you learn one thing today.
The law should apply across the board.
It shouldn't be.
The subject matter, the subject matter should be, are you or are you not removing?
Is this prior restraint?
Am I limiting somebody's ability to speak by tearing down their poster irrespective of what it says?
That's all.
Because what they're doing is, and there are people I know on radio who says, we've got to do something.
These kids who are anti-semending tearing down posters, I say, but that's not against the law if they tore down another poster.
Would you mind if they tore down a poster or a paper that said F-Tropical?
Of course not.
See?
You can't have a law that applies to free speech that only comports to your way of thinking.
Sparky says, my loud voice was a great asset when I was a sergeant in the army and when I sing, but strangers assume it's because I'm arrogant.
You know, that's a very interesting thing.
Arrogant.
What does that word mean?
Arrogant means having or revealing.
Oh, look at this.
Generative AI is experimental.
This is a new AI thing.
Arrogant is an adjective that describes people who are too proud and look down on others.
For example, an arrogant official might exaggerate their own worth or importance.
Exaggerating or dispose or exaggerate one's own worth.
Oh, that's who I'm thinking of.
Oh, who does this sound like, honey?
Listen to this.
Exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance.
Showing an offensive attitude of superiority.
Making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights.
Overbearingly assuming.
Insolently proud.
Full of or due to unwarranted pride and self-importance.
Having or showing the insulting attitude of people who believe that they are better.
Smarter or even more important than other people.
Oh dear lord.
Yes!
But I understand you Sparky.
That's just your voice.
My voice is when you sound like me what are you going to do?
Let me tell you why he's been an asset.
In radio I never We'll forget someone, I don't know who said this, but I heard somebody say, I was standing there, and the person, they didn't know I was listening.
And this person, I think he was in the sales type, who said, listen to this Lionel guy.
When's he on, or whatever, and this person said, you'll know him, you'll know immediately.
There's nobody who sounds like him.
Nobody.
There are people in the biz who sound so much...
There's a 70s show on SiriusXM where this guy is an old puker, an old boss jock from 70s.
It is just...
It's comical to hear this.
So, anyway.
So, your voice, Sparky, maybe Basso Profondo.
Mine is like somebody said one time, Curly Howard on Benzedrine, which I think is the greatest line.
That's my favorite.
Joe Pesci on Helium.
All this other kind of stuff.
Anyway.
All right, dear friends.
What a day.
Did you see Mrs. L last night?
Wasn't she fantastic?
Sparky Eric Thaddeus Walters.
Laurie Cuck.
Sparky, I think we said that.
Silver Fox.
By the way, it was his birthday the other day.
He's 83 years old.
You look terrific, Silver.
I mean that sincerely.
Insidious.
And don't forget our good friend, One of the Wills.
Don't forget to let me know your girlfriend Carly.
By the way, if Carly's listening, happy birthday in advance.
This is Will's lady.
She must be one hell of a lucky woman to be married to a man like you.
Or to be associated.
In any event.
And Insidious says, my wife Victoria loves when I listen to your show.
Again, we don't know why.
Because maybe you're busy.
Maybe you don't bother her.
Maybe that's it.
I don't know.
Interesting.
Or somebody said one time, somebody's mother used to say, are you listening to Lenny?
Uh, let me also do this.
I keep saying, uh, I sound like Sidney Lumet.
Sidney Lumet uses the, uh.
This is, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Please forgive me.
This is Mrs. L. Do me the biggest favor.
You want to talk about being, uh, you know, shut down?
They've got a number on Mrs. L because of the work she does with trafficking.
Not anybody in particular, but just in general.
This is her link.
This is her subscription for me.
Just click on this.
Just click on this right there.
Just right there.
And you'll see it.
And you will immediately go to the subscribe portion of that.
Okay?
All right.
And thank you all so, so very much.
What a delightful day it was today.
And thank you for letting me say what I want.
And thank you.
By the way, you can also email me at lionelmedia.com in the event you want to show me screenshots or anything so that I can get to the bottom of why you can't say what you want in any event.
Have a great and glorious day.
Don't ever change.
I mean that sincerely, my friends.
We'll see you tonight at 7 p.m.
So until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
