I am trying and failing to explain to you what is happening right now and how they are missing it.
We are watching something that has never been seen before.
Let me explain this to you.
Let me explain this.
I want you to imagine me dealing with somebody from the past.
Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Marshall, whoever.
And I'm going to say on October the 7th, everything changed.
It was a given.
It was a given that Hamas, the Palestinians, the cause overplayed their hand.
It was a given.
I'm going to say Israel and...
Let's call it Hamas.
Let's just make it just for shorthand purposes.
Israel enjoyed for the longest time as a, you want to call it a lobby, a focus, a way of thinking, a concern, an area, a theme, unprecedented, almost Kevlar protection.
It wasn't, people said, well, and they use these tropes, you know, they own the media, they own the banks.
Well, that's not it.
It was understood.
And not necessarily because a lot of stars were Jewish.
It wasn't, it was the lobby.
It was a lot of things.
It was this many, many factors.
Many, many factors.
The idea.
This AIPAC and others.
And America was, to use Mearsheimer's terms, joined at the hip.
Now, what I'm saying right now, people are going to say, you're anti-Semitic.
That trope, by the way, is done.
Anti-Semitic has just gone the way of racism.
You killed it.
You killed it.
You should have saved it carefully.
And I'm not saying Israel should have saved it.
I mean people who use the term.
You've killed racism.
Racism doesn't mean anything.
You can't say Holocaust.
You can't say genocide.
You can't use these words over and over and over and over again.
Just like people can't say Nazi.
Everything was a Nazi.
You can't do that.
You can't do this.
It doesn't work like that.
You ruined the cause.
You hurt the cause.
But it's over.
It's changed.
Antisemitism is not the problem.
It's a symptom.
And a lot of times it's not antisemitism.
It's people's being tired of a country.
A country.
Like we are tired and you were tired and you were told to be tired of Russia.
You were told that Russia is evil, that Russia is terrible, that Putin is the embodiment of Mao and Stalin and Beelzebub and the devil incarnate and he was the worst thing that ever made.
And you were told this and that thing didn't work.
And nobody called you Russo-phobic.
There was no term for that.
Nobody used that term.
But it's exactly what it was.
It was a post-Cold War nonsense.
And now it didn't work because you emptied your load to use shooting terms, not what you think.
It's beyond that now.
Even the tropes don't matter.
Even that doesn't matter.
I want you to sit back.
This is huge!
And nobody's talking about it.
They're just pointing out little microscopic stories.
Oh, this man was...
Oh, this woman ordered an Amazon book and there was something anti-Semitic.
That's not it!
You're missing the point.
That's what we're going to talk about this morning.
So please do me a favor.
Sit back.

Pay very quick attention, close attention, my friends, to trends.
Patterns and trends.
What's coming and what's here and what's going away.
Let me say this again.
Listen to me carefully.
If you want to be a part of this, if you want to be a player, so to speak, you've got to understand the trends.
What's happening?
What's new?
What are people wearing?
What are people not wearing?
What are people saying?
How are they saying?
What new phrases are you hearing?
What's happening?
What words all of a sudden are in?
What are out?
Pay attention.
One of the things you have to do is you must cultivate the age or the mindset of somebody older.
Because wisdom provides that you grasp differences in situation.
What's different now to what's different then.
What's happening now, what's happening then.
What happened.
Why sometimes is different.
I don't know why.
Remember I told you, all of a sudden, the issue, the men have been going through a tremendous, tremendous, there's a pun there perhaps, tremendous sense of inferiority and strangeness.
And they went out of this way to be hyper-masculine, Fred Ziffel beards, covered in tats, eating meat, doing all this stuff.
If you want to see something, I'm not talking about this now, but just as an aside, maybe in a private video.
You are seeing the psychic schizoid, not literally, but the personality and message, schizophrenia and psychophasic disjointed message of Tucker Carlson.
He is a little boy lost.
He is, Taylor Swift has her foot together more than he does.
I'm noticing this.
I'm not going to talk about this, but I notice it.
Because there's nowhere to land.
And you've got to know where to land.
You've got to say, what is your message?
What is your message?
Do you know why one of the reasons Jimmy Buffett was so good?
Why McDonald's is so good?
Why Disney was good until the loss of money?
It never changed.
The world is changing now.
No kidding.
One day, Mrs. L and I talk about this all the time.
And I'm so lucky if there's one thing.
I'll bet you there are so many.
The smartest person ever.
The smartest person in the world today that I know.
Bar none when it comes to news.
And what's happening is Mrs. L. Bar none.
She could say, you see what's happening?
You see this trend?
You see what's going on?
And we were talking about something.
And let me tell you something.
I want you to say something.
And listen to me.
And I'm going to tell you something right now, and you're going to react to it.
Not what you want, not what you wish, but I want you to react accordingly.
Do you know who's going to be the leader one day of American politics?
You know who's going to set the trend?
Rashida Tlaib.
Not AOC.
Not AOC.
AOC was all over the place.
AOC was cutesy.
AOC was, I can be a kind of a generic progressive democratic cutesy.
There was no there there.
It's just like Tucker.
There's no there.
What's your thing?
What is it?
He just wants to talk.
He wants to be like People Magazine versus...
I don't want to spend too much time, but I'll use him as an example.
Rashida Tlaib has never varied.
Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, I don't know where she is.
Rashida Tlaib.
And Rashida Tlaib is so smart.
You know why?
She's doubling down.
I would pick up the phone.
If I had to advise her, irrespective of whether I agree with her, I'm going to say, you double down.
Whenever you do this, you can say, look, look, look, I'm saying this.
If they say you said something anti-Semitic, say twice.
The word anti-Semitism is done.
It's lost.
It's lost its thing.
There are phrases.
Do you know that the other day during an interview when Shmuley was talking to Junk Yogurt, by the way, who is the dumbest?
Man-child, bar none.
He's an imbecile.
He is an oaf!
This guy, you know, Ivy League, I don't know if it was Columbia, I don't know what it was.
He's an idiot!
He can't even, he can't, oh!
He still goes crazy.
Did you ever see that famous interview with Alex Jones?
Alex Jones and Roger Stone were on some, I don't know what it was, and they showed up and they baited this guy and he came un- Glued.
He was similar to you know the drunk chick at an airport on a plane or something?
That's junk yogurt.
That's junk.
That's him.
There's nobody talking about it.
So Shmuley is accusing him of blood libel.
He's talking about the elders of Zion and junk is going, what?
I say, no!
Don't bring that!
No, that's not what this is!
You save that!
It's like you go out for the knockout punch.
Not now!
That's irrelevant!
No!
You're taking these very carefully crafted...
It's like you're boxing, and the first thing you do is you try to knock them out in the first round.
It's like, no!
You gotta wear them down a little bit.
It's...
Nobody knows what they're saying.
It's like, and the reason why is everything stuck before.
Oh, look at Sparky.
Keep on Truckin'.
Remember that one?
Who was that?
The Funk Brothers?
Keep on Truckin'.
That was our time.
Who did this?
This was the Crumb, Robert Crumb, in the first issue of Zap Comics.
Keep on Truckin'.
That was that.
That was from our childhood, my friend.
Anyway, thank you.
Let me explain to you what's happening here.
Years ago, and please understand something, there is not, I've always gotten in trouble because as a realist, I've told you exactly the way it is.
If it's about black people, gay people, women, Puerto Ricans, anybody, I'll tell you exactly this is what they're doing wrong.
It's about a brand.
It's all about branding and how you brand.
Branding, you're a fine girl.
What a good wife you would be.
Looking Glass, Elliot Lurie.
In any event, let's move on.
There's, in the old days, Israel, the subject of Israel, Judaism to an extent, but Israel, had an absolute lock.
I mean, before PC, before politically correct, before you were clobbered for being a racist, you know, before any of that, if you were targeted as being not just anti-Israel, but if you traversed, if you broke that blood Brain barrier.
And we're considered to be anti-Semitic.
You're done.
It was done.
Done.
You were done.
Finished.
There were people who went on TV and said something to the effect of Something that might have either repeated a trope that might have been on radio or media, some trope about Israel, and they were just, that's it.
We're done.
Never to be seen from again.
Okay?
Now, I thought to myself, damn.
That's good.
Now that is good.
And you know it, and I know it.
And everybody knows it to be true.
And it's not that it wasn't warranted.
I have no interest in it being warranted.
I'm telling you, it was true.
It was absolutely the most fascinating thing I've ever seen in my life.
Then later on, there were versions of it, versions of it with racism.
If you said something about black folks, oh, God.
But guess what?
It's done.
It's done.
It's done.
*music*
No more.
Do you understand what's happening?
It's done.
You got it?
By the way, the Freak Brothers were Gilbert.
This was the original Cheech and Chong.
This is Gilbert Shelton.
Oh, those are the days.
From my ute.
Those days are over.
It's done.
It's finished.
It's through.
Anti-Semitism doesn't mean anything anymore.
You can say whatever you want.
You can say anything and there is a movement that says, now by the way, remember something.
I'm not sure if I can define in the prototypically classical sense what anti-Semitism is, but In the case of these loudmouth law school groups that stand on the steps,
the East Timor law students, Harvard, whatever, those folks, they did it because it was just cool.
We'll get to this in a moment.
And when Ackman and others came forward, they basically said, this has got to stop.
And it was a nice move, but that's not working.
I mean, it might work, and it did have an effect.
There were a lot of law firms that rescinded offers to lawyers and whatever, who came and who, you know.
But you're not going to see much more of that.
I mean, you will, but in London, 300,000...
Now, next level.
Who's organizing this?
Do you think...
Do you think...
This is spontaneous?
Do you think London had 300,000 people...
Recessed.
Living in various parts of the UK, in Britain, in Sheffield, and the north and the south, who all of a sudden said, now the coast is clear.
And they came out of the woodwork.
They came out of nowhere.
And they were there the whole time.
If these people are being bussed in, flown in, created, trained, I will be shocked.
That's not to say they're not sincere.
That's not to say that this isn't real.
But I can tell you, if you look at, if anybody does any close analysis of the New York crowds, there's no way all these people.
And by the way, second thing is, do you see the look of hate?
Now I know that somebody says, from the rivers to the sea.
Okay.
You can always tell an American crowd, where's the pizza?
I'm just here for the beer.
This is great.
Yay!
I remember one time when America attacked Iraq.
It was at Times Square.
This is bullshit!
Yay!
They didn't care.
And there were some real Iraqis, but nothing, you know.
It was small.
The police were there like, this is a war post-9-11.
Nothing.
We don't have these scenes.
We don't have...
Even after...
I mean, they try to...
Oh, and by the way, word to the warning, ladies and gentlemen, attention potential protesters.
Do you notice how nobody is going after these people?
Nobody from the DOJ, the FBI, are having posters that say, do you know these people?
Are you aware of anybody who might have been a part of any kind of anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian who actually, not merely who was there, but who was violent, who committed seditious conspiracy, or dared to be an insurrectionist?
They couldn't care less about this.
And you know what the American Jewish population, Jewry, so to speak, or pro-Israeli, they're laying low.
They're not going out there.
Hell no.
Because they're even being told, shelter in place, stay back.
Wait a minute, what?
Wait a minute, this is New York.
What?
You what?
Oh, it's changed.
If you're pro-Palestinian, you go out.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Nobody's going to be calling Apple to find out.
Based upon your cell phone, where you were, you know, these January 6th sentences, you're not going to be seeing that.
That's only if it's pro-Trump.
Understand that message.
And that's also to make you think, like, do I want to do this?
Oh, you have just got the...
January 6th taught us, it's not First Amendment, it's selective First Amendment.
It's selective.
Got it?
That's what this is about.
It has nothing to do.
Nothing to do.
You understand this?
With speech.
And the other thing too is, right now as we think, Blinken, listen to me carefully, Blinken and Trump, not Trump, and Biden, forget Biden, but whoever, the left or whatever, they're asking themselves, are we really involved in this?
Should we really be involved?
Is this really something that we want to be involved in?
Is it?
Because MBS is saying, excuse me, do you know where they said they were talking about FIFA coming to Saudi Arabia?
There's no way you're going to be...
Saudi Arabia, because it's all bribery, so they allege.
Saudi Arabia's got more money than you even know what to do.
They're bringing in Formula One and World Cup and just whatever.
And you want to incur that wrath?
You're going to ask yourself this question.
What side do you want to be on?
What are you going to have to show for it with this continued, unquestioned...
Now remember, this is not...
I am not saying this.
I'm telling you what the questions being asked are.
Do you want to risk this alliance with this continued...
Association and basically unquestioning alliance with Israel with what's going on right now.
Are you seeing what's happening?
It's all changed.
And people are saying, what happened?
What happened?
The world changed.
Sparky says, from the river to the sea is chanted by Zionists.
And the Palestinians co-opted from them?
Oh yes, it's not, listen, it's not.
Please, Sparky, you are correct.
Nobody, you're not going to see a bunch of Israelis chanting this by saying, excuse me, this was ours first, so we're going to make a copyright claim against you because this is, no.
But as a matter of fact, yes, it's true.
Yes, yes, it is true.
It's one of those things.
It's just like when people talk about where the swastika comes from.
Is this a Native American sign?
Is this Sanhedrin?
Whatever.
You're not going to fly a swastika claiming this is ours.
You co-opt it.
No, but you're right.
But nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
It's different.
I don't know how to tell you that.
Do you understand?
You woke up October the 7th.
It changed.
Everything changed.
You haven't even begun to see the changes.
You have no idea.
Rashida Tlaib one day is going to be one of the leaders.
The country, the world is shifting.
Remember when they used to always say, well, it's going to be Latin American.
No, it's not.
That's not the shift.
Nobody cares about it.
This is a different story.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is going...
Anyway.
Stop for a second.
I gotta catch my breath.
My friend, please like the video.
Please subscribe to the channel.
Please hit that little bell.

Go now.
I was watching and listening to Mearsheimer.
John Mearsheimer is just the...
In Israel per se, if you look at the actual demographics, if you look at the Green Line versus Greater Israel versus whatever version of it that you want,
you are going to see Population demographics that are going to make, that are going to create, now listen carefully, an absolute impasse, which we are at already as we speak.
What do I mean by that?
According to Mearsheimer, there's about roughly, and I don't know about this, but I'm just telling you, Based upon greater Israel, as he refers to it.
Almost kind of an equal population of Palestinians and Israelis.
Again, I'm just saying.
The ultra-Orthodox, as we speak, according to Meersheimer, has about, on the average, seven children.
Seven children.
This is a contingent that's ultra-Orthodox.
Seven children.
And the men will not involve themselves in military service.
And according to Mearshamer, again, they won't work.
They're basically some kind of a welfare system.
Again, not my words.
Okay.
What happens in seven years, ten years?
Why not talk to 20, 30, just 10 years?
What happens to the population?
The right wing, excuse me, the ultra-conservative are very right wing.
Very.
Now mind you, they have been considered a 2S2 military service.
I get to go into others, but irrespective of this, what happens when you have this?
When you have a group of people who are looking and saying, we Are absolutely intransigent, intractable.
We are not budging.
What's going to happen?
Can you see that far?
I can.
You are going to see a disgorgement, a clawback.
You are going to see people who are going to be this new kind of an era that says, Folks, our bread is buttered north and around.
It's with MBS.
It's with Jordan.
It's with Iran.
These are people.
Why are we incurring the wrath of these people?
You want Hezbollah?
They're going to come after us.
Houthis?
We already have...
There was one cruise missile, I forget.
They knocked out a couple of missiles from some Houthi missile rocket battalion in Yemen.
They're like, wait a minute.
We're going to get involved in this.
We're going to get stuck in this.
Do you want this?
This is what they're going to be saying.
They're going to say, stop.
We have to do something.
Look, we bilked the American public out of everything they had with this fraud called the Russia-Ukraine war, whatever that was.
It's still nothing has happened.
Nothing.
All I know is that Zelensky became a billionaire.
Billionaire.
The Hamas folks, they're billionaires.
The money, you know, we think about Elon Musk.
Do you think Fortune 500, the Fortune, do you think they go through the actual monies of these people?
There's more money than you can imagine.
And the world is changing drastically.
And when Tony Blinken's going over, he's basically telling people, listen, I don't know how long we can do this officially, but folks, this is not...
How long is the United States going to say, no, we are with Israel, when the rest of the world, 300,000 people in London, and it's not stopping?
How long do you think people, I don't care, Who they are.
I don't care who the hedge funders are.
I don't care if it's Ackman.
I don't care if it's Jamie Dimon.
I don't care who it is.
I don't care who these people are.
I don't care.
They're going to come to the position strategically and tactically where they're going to say, look, this doesn't work anymore.
This is a different world.
We have to realign, redefine, recalibrate, reconfigure our allegiances.
This is the way it's going to be done.
And we have to tell Bibi, that's enough.
And he says, no ceasefire.
Then he says, well, there's a tactical interruption.
Stop it.
Listen to me and listen good.
When he finally says, you know what?
The hell with it.
We're going and watch this.
Gaza, say goodnight, Gracie.
That's it.
When that happens...
I don't even know.
I don't even know where to begin with this.
Let me tell you about something right now.
Let me tell you about something.
There's something called a...
Let me see if we can explain this.
There is something called...
Did you ever hear about the M28?
The M29?
Did you ever hear about that?
It's the Davy Crockett Weapon System.
And it's a tactical nuke.
It's a recoil-less smoothbore gun.
Designed to launch the M388 nuke projectile, equipped with a W54 nuclear warhead.
It was utilized in the U.S. during the Cold War and marked the inaugural project undertaken by the Army in Illinois.
It's compact.
It stands out as one of the smallest nuclear weapons systems ever constructed.
It yields about 20 tons of TNT.
20 tons.
It pays homage to Davy Crockett.
Imagine you are hearing one day, you're listening to the news, or reading the news, or doing whatever, and all of a sudden they say, nuclear device detonated.
And it's a Davy Crockett.
It doesn't say how big, not 20 tons versus kilotons, megatons, 20 tons.
20 tons of TNT.
You think that's out of the ordinary?
Barry Taylor says, I've even heard it go so far as to suggest the military-industrial complex is interested in the massive oil reserves under the Gaza Strip.
Oh, yes.
Barry, touche.
Yes, indeed.
And years ago, believe it or not, they always said that Israel really didn't have any natural gas.
Natural gas.
Sparky says, Reminder, U.S. foreign policy is run by evil fools acting on bogus or misleading intel.
You know what, Sparky?
I agree with you, but they are not evil.
If I were to create tomorrow, tomorrow, A group of people that I have constructed to be my joint chiefs of staff,
so to speak, and they were from the military academies, the highest pedigree and provenance, you would get these very people.
When you get people together, And you put them in a group and you give them a military operation, this is what you get.
Every single time.
And they're not evil.
Don't ever mythologize, mystify, don't ever elevate plain old group incompetence, whatever it is.
Do you know how many times during World War II.
You never heard about this.
The number of people, the number of folks, the number of accusations made about systematic and wholesale rape, not on the part necessarily of Germans or just Russians, but in American soldiers.
You never heard that, did you?
Never heard that.
It was unbelievable.
Not only that, what German women went through, They took people from the United States.
Think of what I'm saying.
They took soldiers named Buddy and Skippy and Butch and Chip and Chuck and, you know, and they sent them to, this is from basically, they were kind of raising this kind of post-World War II 50s and they sent them to Vietnam and these were some of the most rapacious.
All the My Lai folks were, that was just one of That wasn't the only one, the only one we heard of, of course.
But, I mean, it was on the whole rare, but when you put humans together, like when you put dogs together, if you took your little dog, Fifi, and had Fifi run with other dogs, you would see that Fifi would turn into a pack animal, the likes of which you can't believe.
Even Victoria Nuland, oh no!
Sparky, that's a different story.
Let me tell you about this one.
And I think to an extent it makes sense.
Certain people would go years ago, the joke, not the joke, but the rule used to be, during the Ivy League days when they were important, Yale went Intel, Harvard went State Department.
And you, Sparky, and I, we live in a world of Make-believe.
Angie Baby.
I've been thinking about Angie Baby a lot.
Anyway, and we talk about, and we are from various schools and universities, and we study about von Hindenburg, and we study about, you know, Caesar and world history, and we look at how the post-Breton was.
Post, you know, to Versailles.
And we start talking about it.
And we, Sparky, we want to be.
For example, think Victor Davis Hanson with an attitude.
We don't want to just know history.
We want to control history.
Why?
Because all of my friends were all going to the State Department or we're going here.
This is in the days of John Foster Dulles and Allen.
This is the post-Cold War.
We're different.
And we create this momentum.
And I'm hanging around with this guy.
And I want to take over.
I want to be like Kermit Roosevelt.
And I'm going to be a part of Operation Ajax.
Bring in some intel.
And we're going to change.
We're going to have a coup.
And we're going to change and redirect Iran.
Okay?
We're going to do that.
And then we're going to go with South America.
And we're going to go to Arbenz.
And we're going to go to the Congo.
We just...
All of a sudden, I'm hanging around people like this.
And then Victoria Nuland.
And the Kagans, her husband, Robert Kagan, the Kagans in the Newlands, they're all intertwined and intermarried.
And they have the Institute for the Study of War, Jack Keane.
Institute for the Study of War.
You know how we have this incredibly, this fetishistic love of military and patent and all this kind of stuff.
And already I'm in a pack.
And they're going to unleash me.
And they're going to pay me a whole bunch of money and I'm going to go work for NATO.
And I'm going to sit around with NATO.
I'm going to say, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to rephrase this.
Our goal is to get rid of this Russian group right here.
We have to watch this.
This is the evil Soviet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm applauded for this.
And we have to goad.
We have to threaten.
We have to...
In fact, they're even suggesting right now, we're going to use Ukraine as the bait.
We're going to get Ukraine.
We tried it with Georgia, but we're going to get Ukraine and threaten their entrance into NATO as a way of pulling Russia into this.
You got it?
You got it.
Okay, great.
Does that make any sense?
That's exactly what's happening.
That's exactly what's happening.
Now, am I evil?
No!
I'm not evil.
I've got a family and a kid.
I don't do anything with it.
I just don't think.
I think of chess pieces.
Because my colleagues think this.
The world, I've been studying this my whole life.
The people who made the greatest impact, do you think George Washington cared about, he's going to lose a division of men?
I used to wake up in the morning and say, okay, who's going to die?
This group or this group?
But he said, but I'm fighting a noble mission and that's the way it is.
Do you understand how this works?
Do you see how this works?
That's precisely how it works.
I know what I'm talking about.
They're not evil and they're not incompetent.
They don't care.
If there's no moral hazard, if you have nothing to worry about, if you have no repercussions, if you're unelected, you know, the left always, they love to talk about how the Supreme Court is a bunch of unelected white men.
Well, I guarantee you, the unelected white men and women right now are the EU, NATO, the UN.
Come on!
Never Ever give your enemy the benefit of creating this notion that what they're doing is diabolical.
It's not.
It's not.
You understand what I'm saying?
I want you to look back and detach yourself.
Sparky, I want to imagine, I'm holding something up.
I'm going to look at this.
Oh, look at this from my collection.
Trump 2020.
Well, that's a keeper.
It's a...
Whatever.
You know what it's called.
Alright.
Let me ask you a question.
We're sitting back and we're saying, okay, what's happening now?
What's happening in the world?
Okay.
Imagine we're pathologists.
And imagine we are living in a world that I'm holding up a lab report.
And we're looking at...
Blood results are this or that.
What does this mean?
What do these lab reports mean?
What does all this mean?
What does it mean?
That's the question.
What does it mean?
Do we say, this cancer, this pancreatitis, it's evil.
No, it's not evil.
It's just, it is.
This yeast infection, it's evil.
No.
When you take this situation and this situation, And you take some poor woman and you load her up with antibiotics, you're going to get, you know, monelia, whatever.
It's nothing to...
It just happens.
Look at this.
Get real.
They are beyond incompetent.
No, they're not.
Again, what is their goal, Sparky?
Were they hired to be competent?
What is their goal?
To protect us?
There's no moral hazard.
Nobody in Vietnam.
Read Tom Ricks' book, The Generals.
I think there was one, maybe one general in Vietnam that was relieved of duty in World War II.
They were left.
I mean, they fired people left and right.
They're not incompetent because there is no reason for competence.
The whole system is incompetent.
The whole thing, there's no reason.
If I said to you, Sparky, here.
Welcome to my town.
There's no speed limit.
There's no parking tickets.
There's no red lights.
There's no nothing.
What do you think the drivers are going to be like?
Incompetent?
No, they're going to adapt to the fact that there's no repercussions.
Do you understand this?
What do you think?
This is something which is so monumentally important.
There's no repercussion.
There's no...
I've got a job.
I hire Sparky.
When do you want to show up?
At 9 o 'clock.
What if I'm late?
Nothing.
What if I don't show up for a week?
Nothing.
What if I treat the customers poorly?
Nothing happens to you.
There's no moral hazard.
There's no nothing.
You're not incompetent.
There's no system.
Nobody's ever called out for this.
It's not incompetent.
Nobody says, we're going to fire you.
Hey, this Defense Department.
When you were in the military, how many people were called?
What was your role?
What was your goal?
It was to do a job to protect your country?
No.
I mean, not theoretically.
You did a very fine job, but no.
We use words like evil, incompetent, mean, Machiavellian.
No, they're not.
If you create a system that is created now, you're going to have a Victoria Nuland.
They're going to pop up.
If you create, if you leave bread out, you're going to get mold.
It just happens.
There's nothing special about Victoria Nuland.
She wasn't born in this hatchling all her life.
You know, we knew something was up with her.
She was kind of evil and incompetent at an early age, and we knew.
We knew that one day...
No, no, no, no, no.
It doesn't work like that.
It doesn't work like that.
Believe me, you always want to see something.
I don't want to say Occam's razor, but be a realist.
Things are not as complicated and not as complex as you think.
Believe me, there's nothing special about any of these people.
There's nothing special about...
But let me tell you this much.
Social media changed everything.
Social media changed everything.
Let's go back to a few things.
But first, let me take a breather.
By the way, humans are not working with Satan.
I don't know how to say this to you, but this is not about Satan.
This is not about Satan.
Satan was Billy Friedkin.
Satan was the exorcist.
Satan was this Lucifer.
Satan was a manufactured, it wasn't existed anywhere in the Bible until post, well, New Testament obviously, but it was borrowed, where the image of Satan was borrowed from pan, from paganism, the cloven hoof, the horns and the tail.
This is mythical, magical, symbolic.
It's simpler than that.
It's always good to go, see?
It's Satan.
No, it's not Satan.
Satan has nothing to do with this.
No.
Because the Palestinians are saying the Jews are Satan, and the Jews are saying the Palestinians are Satan.
And the Vietnamese said we were Satan, and we said the VC was the same.
Disabuse yourself.
Do yourself a favor.
As you get older, as you get wiser, dismiss, detach, disconnect from mythology, from expressions.
Satan.
It's satanic.
This is how we hear it a lot of times.
Child trafficking.
It's satanic.
No, it's not.
It's about money.
No, it's not.
If that didn't make any money, they'd be selling rhino horns.
It's about theft.
It's about greed.
It's not satanic.
Nothing.
This existed before anybody even could read.
From the first time man was on this planet, a man stole something that didn't belong to him.
There was no Satan.
There was no nothing.
We love to create.
We never want to say, it's us!
The devil made me do it.
Satan?
Satan is the biggest excuse.
Man-made.
Mythological.
Absolutely this perfect thing.
And by the way, the only religion that does exorcisms?
Catholic.
Can you believe that?
You don't think Joel Osteen hasn't figured out how to make money by doing an exorcism?
Drive out the spirit.
Foul, deaf spirit.
Evil demons.
Yay!
No.
It's simpler than that.
No.
It's just who we are.
It's what we do.
If you're out in the woods, and you come up to some rapacious, ravenous predator, and he sees you, and he's hungry, he's going to eat you.
He's going to mow you down.
Or, if you breach his area of faith or trust, he's going to attack you.
Not because he's evil.
It's hardwired.
That evil is what keeps him alive.
Absolutely not.
It sounds nice.
It's a great story.
Great for Lucifer and Devil's Advocate and always the devil.
We always loved it.
I was a devil every year for Halloween.
It's my favorite cartoon character.
Sparky says, can you at least admit the U.S. supplements are far from diplomatic?
All of them?
All of them?
Sparky.
The diplomatic corps.
Who becomes a diplomat?
Who becomes an ambassador?
Who becomes it?
Who do you think?
Most of them are spies.
Most of them, in most countries, always has been.
When you see embassy, spy.
Spooks.
Do you think many of them, I'm the ambassador to Luxembourg.
Okay.
And what do diplomats do?
They have the consulate on us.
I help you with your passport.
I help you with this.
What do they do?
It's the people who raise the most money.
They get the gig.
No.
Let's talk about what's really incompetent.
How about this?
The idea of taking any group of people, doing any collective effort, and it breeds incompetence.

I hate to disabuse you of this notion of incompetence or incompetence, but talk about Vietnam.
Talk about Vietnam.
Let's talk about that.
Were we incompetent in Vietnam?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or were we?
What was Vietnam about?
What was it about?
What was Vietnam about?
Tell me.
What was it?
Well, it was what?
Winning the war.
Let's just take this for example, because Sparky knows military.
Winning the war.
Okay.
How do you win this?
How?
How do you win this?
Can you win it?
I don't know.
Vietnam was about basically saying, we're going to make a ton of money.
And we're going to take this idea, it's going to be basically incompetence, but it's going to be hubris, misunderstanding the government.
Remember, who was it?
Victor Davis Hanson does a wonderful story about generals, about one general who had kidney stones, and he couldn't do it.
Hannibal was crushed.
Anyway, things start, and it's overconfidence.
I don't know what the word is, but somebody directed them.
Somebody says, okay, you're going to go.
So who was incompetent in Vietnam?
Was it the soldier?
Was it military?
Or was it Lyndon Johnson?
Who was it?
Who?
How does this work?
And now that we've done this, you know we're going to do this again.
Were we incompetent in Iraq?
Were we incompetent in Afghanistan?
That word, I don't know.
If your job is to say, our job is not to win, it's to spend money.
Sparky says, heard a preacher in the old days say the problem with atheists isn't they don't believe in the seemingly supernatural.
It's they don't believe evil exists.
Nah.
There's something wrong with that.
To say an atheist is like saying somebody doesn't speak French.
Somebody doesn't understand math.
A person who does not believe in God is a Buddhist.
Buddhists are some of the most wonderful people in the world.
They are atheists.
They are without theism.
They are supernatural.
There's no monotheistic, polytheistic, nothing.
It doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist.
I think Mark Twain said, I think atheists are good for nothing.
Meaning, they're good because they want to be good.
There's no particular reason.
Sparky, the reason why you're a good person is not because you're afraid of God.
If I said, hey, guess what?
There's no God.
Well, guess what?
Grab the gun.
Let's go out.
Let's rape, pillage, murder, rob, steal, kill.
No.
No.
You're who you are not because of God, but despite God.
You're who you are because of whatever it is, not because of your faith.
Your faith may give you power, but it's not who you are.
The idea that somehow people are...
Hitler was a Christian.
Remember, did you ever hear what he said?
He said stuff about the Bible.
Oh my God, you cannot believe this.
You want to get into that one?
You want to talk about religion?
Believe me, you don't want to go there.
It's very, very simple to say that...
People who don't believe.
Now, some people are atheists because they're...
I don't know why.
Let me ask you a question.
Yes or no?
If left to their own devices, if I could start mankind again, do you believe that it is almost automatic that every iteration of mankind always comes up with something they believe a God?
Either God, gods, mythology, look in the stars.
Oh, look!
How they used to see three stars and go, look, Orion.
Where the hell did you get that from?
Look, it's the archer.
It's three stars.
It could be a mollusk.
How many believe that we would have created God?
How many believe that we just let humans go and they would come up with God on their own?
Yours would be kind of the same.
Why?
How many?
Of course.
Of course you would.
It's natural.
There's a God gene.
And it starts.
It starts initially from the impetus.
Why do you think that is?
How can you not think something's in charge?
How can you not think something's in charge?
How can you not think if you look up and you say to yourself, I'm hearing this thunder.
I don't even know what it's called.
It's called thunder, but this scares the shit out of me.
We can barely speak a language.
We don't know anything about anything.
I'll bet you there's some big bad guy.
I bet you somebody's angry.
It just sounds scary.
It's not good.
Rainbows.
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
He's happy.
Who?
That thing that's in control of everything.
Why?
Doesn't like...
Oh, lightning.
Oh, he's really mad now.
Earthquakes?
Holy...
Oh, I don't know what you did.
He is furious.
Why?
Because that's the way things make sense to us.
It's natural.
Good?
Happy.
Bad things?
Angry.
If somebody says, I got an idea.
I think God looks like this.
Oh, it's good.
I like that.
Yeah, maybe.
Or maybe we'll give it a name.
And it just starts.
And on the other side of the world, they're doing the same thing.
Why?
To explain things.
Locus of control.
Mankind hates the fact.
He hates, hates the fact of not knowing that there's something in mom.
Not knowing that something is in control.
It drives them nuts to think we're here by ourselves and nobody's in charge.
Oh, no, no, no.
Not if I can change it.
Oh, no way.
No way.
Uh-uh.
No, no, no.
And then we have some other things which are fascinating.
What is that, you ask?
Well, let me explain.
A couple of things.
First, Active, atheism, and passive.
What's passive?
Passive is somebody who says, I don't know, I just never heard anything.
I'm not tuning it out, I just...
You are not a Jew, probably, not a Muslim.
Why?
Because you rejected it?
No.
You just never...
Do you think Judaism is false?
Do you think that Islam is false?
No, I just...
Never really came up.
Never heard anything.
No, just never.
Why don't you love her?
I don't know.
He loves her.
Your neighbor loves his wife.
Why don't you love his wife?
Why don't you find her attractive?
I don't know why.
What, is there something wrong with her?
Are you a Sheilaist?
An A-Sheila.
Her name is Sheila.
You are without Sheila.
A-Sheilaist.
You're against Sheila?
You don't believe in Sheila?
You don't believe in the love?
No, I don't have an opinion.
I don't know.
Oh, so you think he's crazy?
No, I don't think he's crazy.
Oh, so because you don't love Sheila, you just reject love?
You're going to go out and kill people?
Wait a minute, what?
Yeah, because you don't love Sheila.
Enough with Sheila!
What's so special about Sheila?
What's so special about this thing about God?
I went to church.
Nothing happened to me.
What?
You're rejecting it.
I'm not rejecting it.
I don't believe in it.
It's like not understanding a joke.
It's not thinking it's funny.
It's not finding something beautiful.
Not liking a song.
You're not rejecting it.
You just don't like it.
You don't get it.
Doesn't make any sense.
Sparky says, I should have specified top diplomats.
Apparently there's a backlash from rank-and-file U.S. diplomats complaining about the obvious war lust of their superiors.
Alexander Mercurius mentioned it.
Yes.
By the way, I have nothing but utmost respect for the two owls.
That's a part of it.
Certainly a symptom of a much, much bigger deal.
But that is the least of our problem.
That is the least of our problem.
Believe me when I tell you that.
The problems are bigger than anything you've ever even imagined.
It's going to be worse than anything you can imagine.
By the way, I noticed flat earth.
Where'd the flat earthers go?
Remember a while back they were everywhere?
Where'd they go?
What happened to them?
What happened to them?
Fascinating.
Nobody cares about them anymore.
Barry Taylor says, the world must become more spiritual for wars to diminish.
No.
Love, brotherhood, peace, joy, sharing, these alone can bring peace to the world.
No.
Balderdash.
Bold.
*crash*
Balderdash.
No.
No.
Barry Taylor would say, come here.
Come here, Barry.
We're going to go to Gaza.
Come here.
Barry, go in the truck with Ahmed over there.
Go ahead.
He's going to drive you around.
Barry, this is where I live.
What do you think about this?
Oh, my God.
That's right.
How do you like this, Barry?
I've been living here my whole life.
And this is what somebody in Gaza will say.
You see those people over there?
The ones who can come and go freely?
Yeah, they run the show.
I don't.
So, tell me again.
Please, tell me again about peace, love, brotherhood, and sharing.
Okay.
What do you suggest I do, Barry?
What do you suggest I do?
Tell me what I should do.
Hey!
Love us.
Share.
No.
Okay.
How do you stop slavery?
How did you stop Hitler?
Come on.
Come on.
Peace, love, charity, brotherhood.
No.
No.
You stop them.
How do you stop them?
By what gets their attention?
War.
Yeah, but you want to do peace and brotherhood?
Terrific.
Nothing's going to happen.
Yeah, but if we could all get along...
You don't live here, do you, Barry?
No.
I didn't think so.
Why?
Because if you lived here, you'd be just as pissed off as I was.
You would say, that's enough of this.
That's enough of this.
And when we stop, there's evil in the world.
Or what we call evil.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think?
Do you really think?
And this sounds terrible.
That Stalin and these people were evil?
Do you think that the followers were evil?
Do you think anybody in Germany followed Hitler and they were all evil?
Germany was a country of evil people.
We use these words.
Evil, kindness, spirituality.
It's easy when you're not in the middle of it and you've got nothing to lose.
You can sit back in your chair and drink a beer.
Yeah, we can, you know, brotherhood.
That's why religion.
See, if they believe in God, see, I read the Bible and God.
No, it's easy.
It's easy for us.
We don't know what this is like.
We would be I would be losing my mind if I were doing this.
It's not what you think.
Stop making it so simple.
This isn't Disney.
This isn't about, it's a wonderful life and Sunday school and the church bell and the big, and we love each other.
Kumbaya, my Lord.
Kumbaya.
Everybody.
Kumbaya, my lord.
Kumbaya.
What does kumbaya even mean?
Kumbaya, oh lord.
Kumbaya.
Hey, that was fun.
Still war.
Sing it again.
Kumbaya.
Did you see the picture of the Pope?
The Pope, I'm going to fire the Pope.
What are you doing?
What is this?
I'm a retired Catholic.
What is this?
What is the Pope?
What is the papacy?
What is this fad again?
They come out.
I'm going to buy.
Okay.
This is great.
And somebody watching us from another planet is going to think, these are the most superstitious.
I know.
We believe in stuff you can't even believe.
And what we don't believe in, that's even funnier.
It's not what we believe in.
What we don't believe in.
Now, friends, let me tell you a couple of things here which is really critical.
Really, really, really, really, really critical.
I want you to know something.
Please, dear friends, on February the 3rd, February the 3rd, I am going to be at the cutting room.
Do you hear what I say?
The cutting room.
I want...
To see you.
I want to shake your hands.
I want to open your hands and shake them.
That's what I want to do.
It's what I get a kick out of.
I don't know why.
Call me wacky.
It's February.
Now's the time.
You can ask Liz Solak.
It'll change your life.
Here's the information.
Here it is, my friends.
Right here on our show.
This is it.
Ta-da!
Right there.
That's the information and that's the link.
You got it?
You dig?
Good.
Now also, I want you to promise me that you're going to go and you're going to follow Mrs. L because her stuff is so critical.
She did an interview on her radio show yesterday which was so wonderful with a woman by the name of Diane Diamond.
Remember Diane Diamond?
Absolutely.
Some of the best stuff you've ever heard in your life.
And it is, how do I say this?
It was about, of all things, guardianships and these dependency type of things, these conservatorships.
You know, Britney Spears and other things.
And you would think, oh, that sounds interesting.
No, no, no.
It was fascinating.
Absolutely fascinating.
So it is critical, it is imperative that you follow Mrs. L right there.
LinzWarriors on X or Twitter at Linz underscore Warriors on YouTube.
Do, do, do, do, or just read it for yourself, okay?
You got that?
Thank you.
Do not ever lose your sense of goodness.
By the way, he says, it's easier to remember things if they make sense.
Many beliefs ancient people are ridiculed for are simply memory devices.
Important things are remembered by artificially making sense of them.
Oh, that could be true.
That's very, very smart.
Yes, indeed.
In fact, believe it or not, Sparky, most of what we remember is we remember how we told the story last time.
We remember how we repeat the story, which is a whole other story, okay?
So think about that one.
Alright, my friends.
Have a wonderful, wonderful day.
Okay?
Have a great and glorious day.
It's 39 degrees in New York City.
A little chilly, which is great.
Something I never knew growing up in Florida.
Something I never, ever, ever knew.
The idea of cool and cold.
Have a great day, my friends.
We love you madly.
And by the way, to our dear friends, to Sparky, Barry, Taylor, Thank you so, so much.
Seriously.
Incredibly.
Your thoughtfulness, your generosity mean more than you will ever, ever, ever be able to articulate, much less understand.
And I thank you.
All right, dear friends.
Have a great and glorious day.
See you tonight at 7 p.m.
Don't forget.
Sign up for the channel.
Video's coming.
And comment.
Oh, hang on a minute.
That's not it.
Comment, dear friend.
No, that's not even it either.
I got to get the right one here.
The balladictory is the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue you.
