Good evening, dear friends.
Good evening.
What am I saying?
Good morning, dear friends.
Good day.
Good day.
Good day to you.
Oh!
I'm still on a high.
That's right, I got high last night.
No, I was high on stage.
What a wonderful time.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know how to say this any other way than to be a part of this wonderful assemblage of people at the cutting room.
It was perfect.
We had the whole evening to ourselves.
The whole...
Sometimes you go in, there's an act afterwards.
No, it was all us.
The staff was perfect.
Steve Walter, the owners, one of the best venues.
People loved it.
It was just...
We had a veritable melange of people.
When I tell you this, we had...
In no particular order.
Women, men, gay men.
I don't know if there are any gay women.
Nobody identified.
Black people, men.
Politics has nothing to do with your sexuality.
Gay people, straight people want there to be law and order and rational semblance of this in our society.
Black people, gay people, Latino people, it's Cubans.
We had people from Poland, Eastern European.
One of our members flew from Colorado.
I don't want to mention names.
Maybe they don't want to be known, perhaps.
But I am telling you.
Oh, thank you, dear.
It was incredible.
And one of the things which is also very interesting, which I find, is that what I love to do is to allow people to write cards.
To write Cards.
To write statements.
Questions.
And then we go around.
And as I'm doing this, we submit.
They submit them and I take them.
And I have them here.
And they're wonderful.
Wonderful.
So sit back and enjoy this morning.
Beautiful Sunday morning.
Here in New York City, we are expecting...
Absolutely.
We've had 11 or 12 days of no sun.
Reminds me of those wonderful people who live in the Seattle area who are kind of used to this.
And people were kind of glum and crazy.
And to make a long story short, it's beautiful today.
But in no particular order, let me just thank you for being with us.
Thank you for being, just for being you, being a friend, being a member.
Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
Jesus loves you more than you want.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is just a sampling.
So we put these cards out.
It's also great, too.
I can tell how old people are by how clear the writing is.
We had a young man who was like 11 or 12 years old.
We had somebody from Russia, somebody from Poland, somebody who knows a little bit about European totalitarianism?
That's what you've got to talk to.
Look at this.
What will happen to Alejandro Mayorkas?
Do you think there will be another pandemic before the election?
Pandemic in quotes.
How do we prevent the 2024 election from being stolen?
Do you believe Dems will screw Trump again?
If so, USA is gone dead.
Can Trump win?
Talking about the election fraud.
Next mayor of New York.
Is Nikki Haley a Democrat?
Explain to your dear audience now, although Donald Trump may be convicted of something, there is something in the Constitution that bars him?
Have you ever met Donald Trump?
Who is really pulling the strings of Joe Biden?
Bill says, who is the ideal veep to run with Trump?
Ask, how do we get rid of the correct justice system?
Oh, this is terrific.
I don't want to mention names, but some of them are fun.
Do we have a 2024 presidential election?
If we don't, how do you think the population would react?
Will you and Stix Hexenhammer have another conversation for YouTube on the private channel?
He's back in Vermont?
Is that him?
Is that right, Stix?
Are you back?
Stix, by the way, is...
Let me say something about Stix.
One of the nicest, most generous people I've ever met...
Whenever I've asked him something professionally like, how do you do this?
How do you do this?
Just absolutely 100% helpful.
And he is one of the few people who have not gotten tired of.
He has a style and a purity of act.
Meaning his act is real.
There's no...
He does his thing.
I don't get tired of him.
Sticks is my man.
One of the smartest people.
And that is saying something.
So, you know what?
I should reach out to him, my dear friend, again.
With the state of the world as it is, and the West poking Russia and whatever, how likely do you think nuclear war is in the near to medium future?
Very likely.
Not a nuclear war, not a nuclear conflagration per se, but nuclear...
Excuse me.
Somebody detonating something that is called nuclear or nuclear.
What do you think was happening in recently discovered tunnels under the synagogue of New York?
You know, that's the weirdest thing.
We don't know.
And I heard something to the effect, I read something in passing, where there was a either a collapse or something.
Could you put your post-election 2016 reaction Video back in rotation, I guess.
By the way, interesting thing about this, and if you're doing YouTube, YouTube and social media pieces do not age well.
They do not age well.
That's all I will say.
Let me see this.
I have a Trump Christmas tree.
Is it politically correct?
I still have my Christmas tree I put up every year.
If Lenny Bruce were alive today, would he be left or right?
Let me ask you this question.
This is one of my favorites.
If Lenny Bruce were alive today, would he be left or right?
What do you think?
Stop right there.
Answer my question.
Left or right?
L or R?
And by the way, just so that you know this, we're going to be using the term left and right just because you know and I know.
It doesn't really mean anything.
What do you think, though?
Right.
Andy says right.
This is very good.
Andy Carman says right.
Cliff says right.
Right or left?
Well, think about this.
Why?
Right?
Think about this.
Right?
Every good comic today is.
Right?
Every good comic.
Everybody who is from Bill Burr to Joe Rogan to all the people who are Cat Williams.
Go down the list of the...
I don't know who else is big.
What is the bane of the existence of every comedian?
To not be able to say something.
What is the thing that people and comedians hate the most?
They can't say something.
They're being told they can't say something.
Lenny Bruce was forever tormented by things that he said because he was, theoretically, he wasn't really a leftist.
See, these words, this is something.
And I hope everybody's old enough to understand.
When I was of my formidable development and the like, when I came about I was in a time when being liberal, though I never used that term, left, though I didn't use that term, it was modern, anti-war, pro-civil rights, pro-expression.
That's all it meant.
It's all it meant.
And the right, I never understood.
There were Republicans who, you know, Barry Goldwater.
They wanted to continue the war, even though, remember, people like LBJ, these were hard.
So today, the word left means pusillanimous, scared, closed-minded, un-American, anti-law and order, anti-immigration rationality.
Pro-gender transmogrification, even though most people don't believe in this.
I think if Lenny Bruce were alive today, that's one of the best questions.
Who will be the VP if Trump is elected?
This, we went on, this was a great subject last night.
I have to know, how do you want to answer the question?
Number one, are you asking the question, who, whom, I guess, should be?
Who should be the choice?
Who should be the choice?
That's a different story.
Who should?
Should be.
Who should be?
Who will be?
Sometimes people will throw it out as though, whom do you like?
Do you like this guy?
Do you like...
So I said, in my opinion right now, based upon what a vice president should be and should do, it should be Ben Carson.
And I don't know if you agree with me on this one, but I've never thought about this idea of people...
All of a sudden saying something to the effect of, oh, we should vote for so-and-so because he's black.
Because he's black.
We need a black woman.
We don't need a black woman.
We don't need a white woman.
We need good.
I don't think that matters.
I know this is contrary to what people think.
I don't believe that for a moment.
Carrie Lake?
Uh-uh.
Christy Norman?
Uh-uh.
I don't want anybody...
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, if you have to have...
Again, Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be good irrespective, and that's the best choice available, is to ask somebody who would be good irrespective of their demographic.
Period!
Period!
Tim Scott.
Oh, God.
Why people do this, I have no idea.
The foundation of our nation is political correctness?
Question mark?
Interesting.
I think this was a point that was made that was saying almost an inexcusable form of surprise.
I got to tell you something.
I am so monumentally just so impressed with everybody last night and the group of people who really care about this country.
I was thinking about something.
See if you agree with this.
Now what I saw is that, and I'm going to use for merely shortcut purposes, left and right, just to say it.
Not that I think there's anything to this, but just for purposes of ease and facility of thought.
That's all I'm going to say.
But we always say what's right for this country.
The left talks about what's right for...
You know, wokeness, or what's right for gender, whatever.
They're into what's right for the cause versus the country.
I don't think they have any sense of country.
We have our American flag we take with us all the time, and I put it on the stage, and I, very frankly, we do the Pledge of Allegiance, which I thought was so stupid.
Years ago.
You have no idea.
I thought, what are we doing the Pledge of Allegiance for?
Nobody does the Pledge of Allegiance.
What the hell are we doing the Pledge of Allegiance for?
This is the Sertoma Club.
This is a lunch.
I don't know why we're doing the Pledge of Allegiance.
Why are we doing the National Anthem at baseball games?
Nobody else does this.
Henri Bernard Lévy, you know, the French intellectual, he always laughed at us.
And I was kind of that same.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
No siree.
Not anymore.
I am, and I still believe in everything I've always believed in, but I've added on to it.
You know, when you're a kid, you start off with a very simple foundation, a simple food palette.
You know, when you're a kid.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza.
And then later on, as your taste buds develop, as your sensibilities become mature, as your ability to like certain things, you will grow as well.
And it grows.
And later on, you'll be able to enjoy things that are kind of fun and exciting.
But you never lose.
You know, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, that's great!
Nothing wrong.
You never say, I don't eat pizza anymore.
No!
You might.
Well, anyway.
I believe that I have always, that my fundamental core is a belief in something that's almost like a natural law.
Again, I'm using terms just for the sake of argument, arguendo, I guess.
And I don't necessarily I hold to the doctrine of one thing or another.
It's not necessarily Reaganomics or whatever, but I believe in these core things.
I abhor war.
War is wrong.
Thank you.
You can quote me on that.
War is wrong.
And it's wrong for a variety of reasons.
It's war for...
I'm seeing what's happening.
If you are not...
If you can see the destruction and the horror that is occurring in Gaza, without pointing any blame to anybody, without saying, well, it's Israel's fault, or it's our fault for arming Israel, or it's Netanyahu's fault, if you just stop this...
If you look at what's happening, it's horrible.
And there's a part of me as a human being, this thing, this inherent, this malum and say malum prohibitim distinction, where there are wrongs in and of themselves, and there are wrongs that are wrong because they say they're wrong.
I am so anti-war.
That is nowhere to be...
That is, it's always somebody who doesn't have to fight the war.
You know, normally when doctors will prescribe something, they kind of do it themselves.
When you have a doctor who says, I think we should cut that out.
It's like, okay, and I'll be doing it.
Well, he's also making the money, but...
So, my core is always there.
My core belief systems.
I'm adding on so much.
I'm seeing somehow that things that may not make any sense in and of themselves are critical.
For example, I think it's important that families do as much things together as possible.
And they always said, we don't eat dinner together.
Well, eating dinner together, that's not the point.
It's not eating together.
What's important is the fact of continuity.
That's all.
That's all.
Continuity.
So years ago, I said, well, that's a little stupid thing.
Now I'm realizing, no, no, there's something to be said for that.
There's something, anyway.
Even if Trump wins, will he win?
This is one of the best questions in the world.
If Trump wins, even if he does win, will he win?
I can only give you some reasonable...
I can only give you some reasonable beliefs.
Let's say if you go to a doctor and you say, we found a spot.
Now the spot can be nothing.
The spot can be something.
The spot can be benign.
The spot can be malignant.
It could be cancer.
It could not be cancer.
It could be this.
It could not be this.
I don't know.
I think there is...
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
See if you agree with me on this.
There is a balance that happens sometimes that it just happens.
For example, the pendulum.
You have to know where to look.
Last night, and you've got to know where to look for this, SNL, which I do not.
Last night, SNL turns on Windy Shitty Chicago.
Comedy show jokes Gaza has called for a ceasefire in Chicago after crime-ridden Metropolis's progressive mayor passed controversial resolution calling on Israel to stop the conflict.
Now, when you've lost SNL, you've lost everything.
This is the question I want, and listen carefully and see if you agree with me.
This is the question that I want to know more than anything else.
This is the question.
This is the question.
And I want somebody to explain this to me, and I want this mayor, Brandon Johnson.
Let's go, Brandon.
All right?
Let's see this.
Very, very simple.
And it goes something like this.
Sit down.
Mr. Johnson, there is nobody here right now.
I'm going to ask you a question, and I'm going to ask you a question with all due respect, sir.
Who is it?
Who is it that is telling you what to do?
Who is it that convinced you by allowing your wonderful city of Chicago to be completely subsumed in crime?
Who is it?
And this is between us.
Who told you?
Now listen.
I can understand that as a black man, You may see things differently regarding the police.
I dig it.
Even David Dinkins.
Even, I don't know what, there were liberal types.
But nobody ever, for example, said, let's let crime go.
Let me get rid of this stupid thing.
Let's let crime be rampant.
Who is it?
Where is it in your compact?
Who was it who said, I want you to meet someone.
This is so-and-so.
You see, Mr. Johnson, there are people in the world who do a lot of things.
For example, most of us here, most of the conspiratorium here today, we are people who are just rational people.
And we do not commit crimes.
And we do not hurt anyone.
Not because we have any morality.
I'm sorry.
Not because we, you know, not because we're of high-minded, you know.
No.
We just don't commit crimes.
I don't know if I was in the CVS, if I saw...
Something that I wanted, that I don't have to go to the guy to get them to come down to the row and unlock the glass doors.
I don't think I'd take it.
I don't know why I wouldn't take it.
Because I don't take things.
Not because I'm high-minded, not because I'm...
I don't think I'd hurt anybody.
I don't think I would want to hurt anybody.
I do not want...
I do not...
Ever, for reasons I would never understand, I don't get into fights with the police.
We have two police officers, one individual, who were beaten.
And I have many, many friends in NYPD.
I have...
You know, when you go into, you have like a security, when you say a security detail, we always have the nicest people.
But every now and then, we live in a different world.
So consequently, it's always good to have people secreted about who are heavily armed, who will dispatch an individual who seeks to cause chaos.
So I've got a lot of friends of mine.
And all these cops.
Black, white, women, men, name it.
All the cops.
All the cops.
And you see them sitting around munching out fat.
They're sitting around talking on their phones.
You go in the subways and they're jumping over the turnstiles.
They have these people wearing vests.
They're looking at their phones.
And they really would love to be a cop.
They really would.
They really, really.
I wouldn't want to do it because I would probably kill people.
I would kill people.
I would open fire indiscriminately.
I would advocate torture, black sites, you know, black ops.
I would have people brought to places nobody heard.
They would disappear.
You'd never see them again.
If I ran for mayor, Lotus for POTUS, I would say, do me a favor.
Call this number.
Call, not 311, call 511.
Call 511.
Call up and say, hello, yes.
There's a guy on my corner.
Where is he?
43rd and 6th Avenue.
This guy is here all the time.
And he's yelling at people, and he's scaring, and he's defecating the street.
Yeah.
What does he look like?
Well, you'll know who he is.
He's on the corner.
Can you send us a picture?
Yeah.
Thank you.
And you hang up the phone.
And all of a sudden, a van pulls up.
No lights.
He is escorted onto the van.
And you don't see him anymore.
And you say, hey, whatever happened to that guy?
Don't worry about it.
Is he bothering you anymore?
No, he's not bothering you anymore.
And then people, even the criminals say, do you hear what happened to Larry?
Yeah.
They got Larry.
Who?
I don't know.
This van.
I think that's that van right there.
And you go over there, hey, listen.
Let's go talk to Jerry.
Jerry, listen.
You're acting a fool here.
I don't know what happened, but they got Larry the other day.
So just, if you see that white van, be careful.
I think they're up to something.
Phone call comes in.
Yes, 511.
Yes, there's a guy named Jerry.
Ah!
We've been waiting for Jerry.
Where's Jerry now?
What's he doing?
Scaring people?
Really scary.
And he's getting more emboldened.
Got it!
Jerry's not there anymore.
Where is he?
Don't worry about that.
Just, are you happy?
Good.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Police officers that I know, black, white, inner city, raised in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Washington, wherever it is.
Harlem.
They would say, yeah, because they're cops.
They see things you don't know.
So I want to go to Brandon Johnson and say, What happened to you?
Who are the people who are getting you to allow crime to rise?
You could pick up the phone right now and say, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Bratton, Ray Kelly, these are people I don't even want to tell people I've talked to you, but would you advise me?
Absolutely.
Crime is the easiest thing in the world because what happens is you can feel so Much better by having just slight improvements.
Have you ever had something on your foot that hurts?
Like a plantar fasciitis or a planter's wart or something that hurts.
Every step you take, it hurts.
And it's like, you're tired of this.
It's like you've got a permanent pebble in your shoe.
And you go to a chiropodist or a podiatrist and he says, hang on a second.
I think I can fix this.
And he cuts something or does something and goes, no, you feel better?
Oh my God.
You're so relieved.
And he didn't do anything that much.
It was a little thing.
That's what crime is.
Serial killing is not a problem.
I mean, it's a problem, but that's not what you're going to feel.
Crime is just somebody robbing you.
You can't go to an ATM.
You want to go to a Walgreens at 10 o 'clock at night and you don't want to.
You don't want to go because you're afraid.
That's the crime.
Those people are easy.
Did you know?
And I would tell this to Brandon Johnson, do you know that you go to any city?
And I can tell you right now, if I get rid of like 1% or whatever, just a few people, crime will drop drastically.
Just a few people are doing the most in terms of scaring people.
Do you understand that?
So, Mr. Johnson, why don't you want to do that?
Who's paying you off?
Is it George Soros?
Why would you want to do anything to hurt your beautiful times?
Chicago, Chicago, that toddler, what is a toddler?
I don't even know what that is.
Chicago, the Windy City, Second City.
Who's paying you off?
No, no, no, don't get up.
Who's paying you off?
Why are you destroying this?
Even our own Kathy Hochul will say, you can't let cops do this.
We have theoretically a mayor, Eric Adams, who was with the police department years ago in the transit.
He's kind of sort of speaking out.
Beating up cops?
What?
How does that work?
How does that work?
Anybody?
I do not understand how any of this happens.
And I do not understand how anybody allows this to happen.
Why?
Unless you have contracted with very evil people, whether it's Soros, Soros with his 26 people, to go into cities Alvin Bragg.
Alvin Bragg, listen to this one.
Alvin Bragg is the DA.
Alvin Bragg, who brought the case against Donald Trump.
Alvin Bragg, and this is monumentally amazing to me, Alvin Bragg decided that he was not going to charge the four or five illegal immigrants Migrants.
Illegal aliens.
He said he is not going to charge them.
No, excuse me.
No bail.
There was no bail.
He released them.
They're on a bus and they're heading to California.
They never find them again.
One guy.
They got one guy who was here.
And he came out of the precinct flipping off the cops.
So they asked Alvin Brake, why didn't you charge?
Why didn't you?
Set a bell.
Well, we didn't know who they were.
Not really sure.
We've got the cameras.
Not really sure who these people were.
Really?
Really?
Okay.
What else?
Well, excuse me.
Not really sure.
But you arrested them.
Well, why did you arrest them?
What did you arrest them for?
If you didn't know who they were, why did you arrest them?
They don't even know.
But a woman, a woman who was selling COVID, fake COVID cards or fake COVID vaccine cards for $200 a pop, they lowered the boom on her.
Oh, she was public enemy number one.
Public enemy number one.
So I would say, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Perry, who is paying you for this?
How is this happening?
There's a law.
The pendulum will always swing back.
But this time like a wrecking ball, meaning we're going to go almost full tilt fascist.
People are going to say, oh no, no, I want, in order to make an improvement here, in order to fix this, in order to jumpstart this, we're going to have to have many, many, many more police officers in what is called here in New York City, might be in your city as well, called Hercules units.
These are heavily armed police.
Who are moving through areas.
They have Kevlar and helmets and M4s and their automatic weapons and they have, you know, they have names like anti-terror crimes, tactical, whatever it is.
And they have these big, you know, kind of MRAP sort of vehicles and they go through towns and they scare the living bejesus out of people.
And they tell the criminals, don't come here!
Don't come here.
You're not going to like this.
You're not going to like this.
So I would ask, why are you doing this?
Why are you doing this?
Once people get the impression, I don't understand any of this.
Now, I don't understand why.
Have you been in stores?
Let me ask you something.
In your town, in your hometown, when you go to a CVS, or if you have one of those, and you want to buy a bath, Liquid soap or whatever it is.
Do you have to push the button and have the clerk come to aisle, whatever it is, so they can unlock the precious, the vaunted, the protected soap?
What are you talking about?
Look at this.
How do we stop the insanity in this country?
Who are the 34% that approve of Biden?
Best question.
I'm going to put this in this.
Do you understand, do you believe that there is something called...
Look at Gina says it.
It's insane.
It's insane.
How does this work?
All we want to do is just tell me, who approved this?
Who was the person who said, this is a good idea?
This is an idea that we think is good for people.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
We think it's real good.
Unbelievable.
I don't even know what to...
I don't even know what to...
None of us.
Everybody.
Everybody last night.
This is insane.
This is the word over and over again.
It's insane.
And we're saying, but does it make any sense?
Look, sometimes if there's a crime spike, the first thing the police do is go, we're going to get to the bottom of this.
We say, okay.
Thank you for caring.
Oh, no, no, no.
We knew this.
During the Rudy Giuliani era, we knew specifically where the crime was.
It was called Comstat.
And it was so incredible, so wonderful.
That what it did was, it's where the police officers comp stat.
And this is, compare statistics.
This was created by the New York City Police Department in 94. Okay?
And it works like this.
It's one of the things which makes so much sense.
When Rudy Giuliani was here.
Oh, bless his heart.
Look at Veritas.
Good day, Lionel.
Am I late, mate?
Not at all, sir.
Veritas, have a seat.
Please go to the front of the line.
Have some crumb cake, please.
You were going like this.
You're in charge, but in the precincts, and we have precincts here in New York.
And they never say the 20th precinct.
The 19th, it's the 1-9, the 2-0.
Anyway.
So all of a sudden on Monday, they would have these meetings and the brass.
And there was a guy named John Timoney, Bill Bratton, he was the commissioner then.
This guy, Jack Maple, who was really the genius behind this.
Anamone was another one.
Yeah, that's about it.
And what they would do is they would say, all right.
They would say, all right.
All right, Veritas.
We notice in your particular briefing, residential burglaries are going up.
What are you doing to fix that?
And you would say, I beg your pardon, what?
What are you doing to fix it?
What am I doing to fix it?
What am I doing?
I don't know if I'm supposed to do anything.
What are you doing to fix this?
You're out.
Move somebody else in.
Now you're doing a foot beat somewhere in, I don't know, Staten Island or whatever.
Which might be very nice.
And they held you accountable.
And it was the weirdest thing in the world.
All of a sudden people said, holy, we gotta fix this!
We gotta fix this!
Then what they would do, interestingly enough, as they changed things, then they would do this thing called broken windows.
This is from Wilson and the other guy's name.
And what it is, is if you're in a, and you know how this thing works, but if you're in a neighborhood, and this one building, this one shop has a broken window, and they never fixed it.
It just was there the whole time.
It gives people the idea that, you know, nobody really cares about this.
Nobody cares about the future.
Nobody cares about how things are.
Nobody cares about law and order.
Why?
Because this one building is there and nobody seems to fix it.
Nobody seems to do anything about it.
Nobody seems to care about it.
Very, very important.
Very, very critical.
What do we do about this?
What do we do about this?
Well, what's interesting to note, what's very interesting to note, is that When they started to implement this, they would do the following.
They would arrest people for things like fairway, turnstile jumping in the subways.
They'd just jump over the turnstiles and that's it.
Open container.
There was this law that said, you can't walk around with a beer.
They would put it in a paper bag and say, that didn't even work.
People who would urinate in public, people who did dope, people who, whatever it was.
Things that would normally be just overlooked, they stopped.
Because guess what?
The person who jumps the turnstile oftentimes has an active warrant on them.
Murderers and bad people don't follow the law.
They don't care about the law.
So when you get these people, you think, lo and behold, look at them!
They're already here!
Detectives are looking for, where do we find the killer?
We'll look for the people who do these little, they break laws too, maybe more than other people.
And there was this one line that said, police officers in particular were told, we used to worry about the detectives, now we worry about the uniformed police officer.
That's the guy.
That's the one we worry about, which I find very interesting.
So once they did that, things started to change.
Things were weird.
They're getting these people and they're saying, this is important.
And when they locked them up, they locked them up.
You also have to go to your neighborhood and your towns.
Let me ask you something.
Everybody give me here something that if I went to your town, let's say, if I went to your town and I said, listen, I want to run for mayor or whatever it is, give me something.
I don't care how little it is.
I don't care how big it is.
Tell me something that is emblematic of your Area, your town.
Something that only that stoplight that doesn't work at Main Street or garbage can pickup that's late or the garbage cans are too loud or barking dogs.
What is the thing what is the thing that is your how do we say this?
What is the thing that is the most important To you.
In your city.
Because that's what you do when you run for office.
You say, I'm going to fix something that if it is corrected first, you're going to notice it.
You're going to notice it first.
In New York, years ago, when you come out of the Lincoln Tunnel, coming out of Jersey, coming into the city, the first thing, you would be stopped there.
And these squeegee men would come.
And they would come up to your car and they would have things like...
I mean, it was a squeegee with not even any water sometimes.
And they would come up to your car and they'd just go to your window and you'd say, no, no, no, no!
And you'd basically give them money to go away.
It was extortion.
Sometimes they would bend your...
Windshield wipers, sometimes they would whatever.
And it drove people crazy!
And before, they would think, well, you know, maybe they got a constitutional right to do it.
Maybe they've got it.
Okay.
Maybe they've got, you know, maybe that's their right.
Rudy Giuliani came and said, I'm going to fix it.
So help me God in one day.
They're gone.
I think he lobotomized them, put them on a gulag somewhere, and they were gone.
It was just gone.
He was heralded as a, and for some reason, they're not coming back.
I guess there's other stuff.
But look what you say.
But look what you find people say.
Need more law enforcement.
Here in Barking Dogs, Iowa, it's the late garbage delivery.
You hear that?
Litterbugs.
Oh.
Billy Fabe, I'm with you.
Angela says, potholes on every street.
Beautification.
The sheriffs never took any BFs.
Can't ride bike while drinking in USA unless you want to risk getting stopped by a cop and getting a ticket or even get a DUI on a bike.
They could arrest you and impound your bike.
I always wondered about that.
Normally, Again, I would read the statute in your state.
Normally it would say motor vehicle.
You had to be charged with DUI on a motor vehicle.
I don't believe a bicycle is a motor vehicle.
Kensington, it will, it will, what will you do, mayor?
Gina says, don't forget the hookers would approach your car at the tunnel.
You know, there's no more.
You don't see that anymore.
Mexicans took all the squeegee jobs.
Nearby rural town, five miles away, crime and gangs, beggars of money in the corners and in front of Walmart.
Them potholes that we don't see at night and no one fixes.
Maybe a squiggly line later.
It's just true.
Sounds like GTA.
Our two main streets are state routes and thus not under jurisdiction of the city.
We can fill the holes, but we have to wait years for a re-plot.
A re-plot.
Thank you, Django.
Getting hit over the head in the street is what scares me the most.
I've never actually had my windshield washed by extortions in New York City.
Yep, that's exactly what it was.
Here's one for you.
This is the most important thing in the world.
And I mean to tell you this.
This is what I would do.
Number one.
First, I'd be on your TV show.
I'd be on your TV.
I would be on TV.
Well, the old TV.
Now I'd be on YouTube.
I'd say, hello, I'm Mayor Hillbilly.
I'm going to show you something.
Potholes.
Let me show you what happened.
We're at a...
I'm the mayor.
I'm the mayor.
I'm on TV.
I've got a club crew.
We talked to a guy right now.
His name is Jerry Walderman from the local whatever it is.
Jerry, how long have you been in front-end repair?
My whole life.
Okay, great.
Jerry, how much is that?
What happens if a car has a pothole?
It throws off the alignment.
There's a net wear and tear.
It can really damage a car.
And the faster you go, the deeper the pothole.
This is a serious problem.
Jerry, how's business?
Business is booming.
Jerry, I hate to do this, but I want to put you out of business when it comes to pothole repair.
Listen, I'm that serious.
I want to show you folks something.
I went recently on a trip.
It wasn't paid by you, but it was paid together by a private group, and we went to Europe.
Let me show you the way they fill pothole.
They use this stuff.
This stuff will last a hundred years.
I don't know what the hell it is, but this is true.
I'm not just making this.
I don't know what they do.
They fill it up.
Now, let me show you what we do here.
In our country, and it's not just here, and it's not because these people are crooks, but they use the worst material possible so that they have to come back later.
Fill it again.
And it's this stuff.
It's this, they just kind of fill the hole.
They don't make the road.
Anyway, I would explain it to you.
I would explain it.
And I would have pothole checkup.
I would say, when you call up, you call up my 511 number, my special number I'm going to have for you.
You tell me what this is.
We're going to have a map.
And I'm going to have these red dots.
And I'm going to then turn to the Department of Transportation or whatever it is.
I'm going to say, what are you doing about this map?
I'm going to take Comstat and I'm going to do it.
What are you doing about these?
And by the way, these colors, the older the pothole, the darker the color or the brighter the color.
Look at this.
What are you doing?
People would love me as a mayor.
I wouldn't be talking about anything other than potholes and garbage.
Garbage.
Littering.
Oh my god.
You know what I would do?
Ready for this?
You catch me with littering?
Take a picture of it and send it in.
Have a bounty.
Lady Bird Johnson was responsible for making people feel as though they were anti-littering.
Remember Iron Eyes Cody?
He was Sicilian.
Remember him?
They threw the garbage in the water.
This is the thing that makes you the happiest.
Little things like this.
Potholes.
Lights.
It's simple.
You will vote for me forever if I take care of your potholes.
These are called Al D 'Amato, Senator Potholes.
It's the simplest thing in the world!
And these idiots, they come in there and they want to just...
I don't know what they think.
I would say, we're going to make potholes.
Do you know that people would say, oh my god, I love this.
Most people, even in the worst cities, never are victims of crime.
They hear about crime, but they're not victims of crime.
Potholes mean more than anybody else.
Next, as your president, Lotus for POTUS, I want to have militias.
Did you hear me?
I want to have a militia.
Did you hear what I said?
I want a militia.
Hello?
A militia.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Under the Second Amendment.
It's right there.
You tell me why I've got to ask for permission to carry a gun in my country.
Under the...
Oh, I can't remember the name.
Brewering, whatever the case is.
The Clarence Thomas case.
I want militias.
I want to have individual...
I want people...
I want to deputize people.
I want to...
I want you to feel engaged in this.
I want the bad guys and the pothole makers to say, don't go to East McKeesport, Pennsylvania, whatever it is.
Don't do it.
Don't go there.
You're going to have that.
You're going to have...
Wouldn't you love to be...
Wouldn't you love to be...
Let's say you are living in an area.
Very simple.
And you live in an area.
You've got a two, three block.
And one day, one day a week, you've got one person who says, I'm just going to drive.
You don't even need any lights.
No nothing.
And I'm not going to hire somebody.
I'm not going to hire somebody.
Wouldn't you do it?
Wouldn't you do it one night a week?
Some of us work late.
Some of us work late.
I'll drive around.
Do it too.
Pick up.
Do a team.
You get in a car and drive around your thing.
Just go up and down.
And then we have millions of these.
And we go up and down.
And we drink coffee, and we talk, and we meet, and that's it.
I swear to God.
I'm going to do something another thing people are going to do.
I'm going to do something called know your neighbors.
How many of you, tell me right now, have lived in an area for 20, 30, whatever years, you don't know your neighbors?
When I was a kid, we knew everybody's name.
Mrs. Dorn, Mrs. This, Mrs. Wiley, Mrs. This.
Herb and whatever Virginia Hill knew everybody.
Everybody.
It's not like we loved them.
We just knew them.
It was called Neighborhood Watch.
Block Watch Club.
Yeah!
I don't understand this.
I don't understand.
I don't understand any of this.
Gina says the boss of the mayor is asking the citizens to take in invaders.
I wonder how many people will do that.
That's the most stupid thing in the world.
I would be embarrassed to say that.
Take in invaders?
What are you talking about?
Absolutely not.
It's ridiculous.
This is the most stupid thing I've ever seen in my life.
I told you this story.
I love this story.
I love this story.
A friend of mine, he may or may not, I think you know him, but he was in the military and he was in one of these conservative kind of shows.
He lived in China and he was dating somebody or something like that.
And to make a long story, he lived in China and there were these signs on walls and signs on buildings.
And they said, interestingly enough, they said, My name is Sergeant So-and-so.
I am our captain or whatever the hell it is.
I'm in charge of this.
This is in China.
I'm Chen or Li or whatever.
And this is my area.
This is my cell phone.
This is my name.
This is my picture.
If you need anything, you call me.
If somebody's bothering you, call me.
If somebody is giving you a hard time, you call me.
Call me, call me, call me, call me.
And the reason why is because I like my job.
And there are people who are trying to get my job.
And the only reason I keep my job is if I...
It's like Comstat.
Call me.
And there is no crime.
And I cannot tell you how many people that I know...
We know a lot of Chinese people.
Hong Kong and mainland.
And they say, Chinese government doesn't bother us.
Or Chinese, of course.
We don't bother them.
We're not rabble.
We don't speak.
I'm getting granted, but nobody wants to.
They retire at the age of like 30. Nobody bothers them.
There is no crime.
You see those two, that couple, that couple that threw this baby out of an apartment roof or a ledge or a balcony?
Killed their two kids because they wanted to be free from this.
Oh, they executed them so fast it wouldn't make your head spin.
And you know, I used to look the other way.
I really didn't like the notion of this before.
But you know what?
I'm kind of reconsidering it.
Let me also stop right now.
I've been remiss.
I should have done this earlier.
Because I want to tell you right now, I love Mike Lindell.
And I'm going to say that to you, and I'm proud of it.

Indeed, my friend.
You know what I believe in?
I believe in this thing called common sense.
I really do.
And I think there are so many Americans, black, white, every conceivable...
I think I told you this last night.
Somebody walked up to me where...
Talking in the sky.
Look, maybe in his 70s, I don't know, retired teacher.
And he said, and by the way, I'm a proud gay man for Trump.
And I said, me too.
I said, no, wait.
And he walked up and said, no, no, not the gay part.
No, well, whatever.
But there he was.
He had to make a point of it.
Look, I'm...
My position is very simple.
I'll argue.
I mean, we'll talk about things.
We'll talk about abortion.
There's a lot to discuss about abortion.
There's a lot to discuss.
I got no problem with that.
You want to talk about capital punishment?
You want to talk about taxes?
You want to talk about these?
No problem.
But there are some fundamental precepts as far as decency and respect.
And when it comes to crime, and my friends, I want you to listen to me carefully.
There are people that are enlisted to destroy our country.
And it's the only thing that I can see as to why they come into a town like Chicago, a great, great, great city.
If you've been there, terrific.
And they would destroy it systematically.
Turncoats, traitors, quizlings.
So my friends, I want to thank you.
Please, look at this.
Hot Pocket says, my pillow is the best pillow ever.
You know it hot.
Thank you.
That was unsolicited, by the way.
Thank you so much, our dear friend.
Thank you, Veritas.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
Thank you for your beauteousness.
I appreciate that.
Raul Rodriguez here says, hook them, book them, and cook them.
Remember this?
Locked and load, ripped and stripped, cock and locked.
Absolutely.
I have a very simple thing.
I want to scare the bejesus out of people.
That's it.
I want to give them all the due process there is.
The Constitution, the right to an indictment, everything.
We don't cut anything short.
Probation is a wonderful thing.
More people...
Probation is so successful and you can't imagine.
Recidivists are still kind of rarity.
Most crimes are not.
The people that we're talking about, there's just a few compared to the entire scheme of things.
We also have to get a more rational look at drug offenses and the like.
And by the way, another thing we've got to do is we've got to work on DUI.
Let me ask you a question, my friends.
DUI, when I tell you this, I cannot tell you how many DUI prosecutions that I have.
I've been a part of in my life.
I have ruined more lives and more days than you could possibly ever imagine.
And there's one thing, let me ask you a question.
If drinking and driving is something we don't like, why are there parking lots and bars?
Please, anybody?
Explain that one to me.
This is something which I do not understand.
So anyway, dear friends, have a great, great, great day.
We love you.
If you were there last night, I haven't gone through all the cards yet.
It was to be out there, to be.
I did near two hours on the stage.
Try that.
And loved it.
And could have gone on forever.
To meet with like-minded, great patriots, great Americans who just want to just...
No agendas, nothing radical, just common sense, preserving the Constitution, and seeing that Trump is elected.
Because remember, Trump is a chemotherapy.
That's all.
All right, dear friends, have a great and a glorious day.
We'll see you tonight at 7 p.m.
And until then, remember, my friends, the monkey's dead.
The show's over, sue you.
