	My friends, as noted and as expected, the post-prandial, if you will, review of the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin is exactly as you could imagine.
	Absolutely incredible.
	Nobody does it better than the Daily Mail.
	If I could just direct your attention to that, that might be the best to begin.
	It is, without a doubt, without a doubt, it's axiomatic, predictable, rote, unimaginative.
	I can go on and on and on.
	One of the best examples was when it goes through and it says Vladimir Putin provided the following erroneous statements made about the history of Ukraine, the genesis of World War II, Poland's initial involvement, etc., etc., etc.
	And what they do is there's so much advertising and block.
	And if you ever use...
	On Chrome, you can use the print modality where you just remove all of the pictures and you just have the actual print that is provided, the actual text, and there's nothing there.
	There's nothing there.
	But in one particular instance, it says, at this particular point, Putin claims that it was Poland's kind of instigation almost, and I'm paraphrasing it.
	Paraphrasing it.
	The refutation at the bottom says historians agree.
	Historians claim that such and such.
	That was the answer.
	They must have given it to somebody with a hair bun and a cloth bag and Birkenstock says, here, Moondog, write this one out.
	Just refute it.
	Don't really talk about what this man did.
	Just say that.
	No, no, historians.
	And say that, well, in Ukraine, it is the best one ever.
	Please, I know people don't, I tell this all the time, people don't realize, they don't read anything, they don't say, nah, it's okay, I'm not going to.
	Yesterday we were, during the most, during the most, I can't think of one event that actually, it was bigger than any.
	Taylor Swift concert.
	The world was waiting.
	And you can go and see it on Tucker Carlson Network.
	I thought for sure that the site would crash.
	And people last night, even amidst our friends, our dear friends, our members of the consortia here in the conspiratorium, people were saying, and almost proud of the fact, well, I haven't seen it.
	I haven't seen it.
	They actually weighed in.
	They actually woke.
	Hello, yes.
	If I can say something, yes, Jerry, you in the back?
	Yes.
	I didn't see it.
	I haven't seen it.
	I was at work.
	We live in a world where people are actually saying, I didn't see it.
	My comment in the discussion is, I didn't see it.
	I can see, you know, firing line.
	Yeah, so what about?
	Yes, Mr. Buckley, yes.
	I am not familiar with Dr. Galbraith's theses.
	Thank you so much.
	Only we love to say, I don't know, I didn't see it.
	I don't know.
	Well, for those of you who did, and for those of you who are autodidacts, and those of you who want to learn, and those of you who are absolutely riveted by what actually was an international event.
	It was an international event of commonality.
	Everybody around the world was paying attention to this.
	Stand by for a second, dear friends.
	Please, I ask, beseech you to please, for the love of God, listen very, very carefully.
	Remember, this is 270 days until the election.

	But first, a word from our most noble sponsor.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Have you taken a good look at the banks lately?
	You know, on the surface, everything seems fine.
	But there's a whole lot more going on underneath.
	It's like looking under the hood of a car and finding a mess of broken wires and parts.
	And the parts are loans for homes and cars and those credit cards we all use.
	And they're hitting record highs.
	It's most frightening when you think about it.
	Why risk your money for a tiny 5% return when things are so shaky?
	This is where Noble Gold Investments can help.
	They're like that friend who knows all about keeping money safe.
	They suggest gold and silver, oldies but goodies, in the financial world.
	Plus, they've got a sweet deal.

	And remember, there's always a risk of investment and there's no guarantee of any kind.
	Now, far be it from me to harken back to my particular childhood and the like, approximately 1985, I guess, maybe?
	I don't know, 1985.
	I don't know what it was.
	First, it was when everybody remembers MTV, The Ruggles, Video Killed the Radio Star.
	There was live aid.
	Simultaneous...
	Things where we were enjoying a simultaneous, momentary, instantaneous commonality about the world.
	Live Aid, I think it was Philly, Live Aid New York, maybe Live Aid Wembley Stadium.
	It was this, we are a part of this event now.
	1969, landing on the moon, I know what you're saying.
	Everybody around the world, there we were.
	Commonality.
	Be there.
	And last night, or yesterday at 6 p.m., when this recorded piece was, it wasn't live, but it was an event, and everybody was looking at this because, first of all, it was something that was done.
	First of all, it was the greatest hype ever.
	It was a PSYOP, the likes of which you cannot believe.
	I think it was a win-win-win for Putin.
	By virtue of how the reactions are.
	How do I know this?
	If the international reactions would have been, well, Tucker did a very good job.
	That means that Putin lost.
	If they say that Tucker gave nothing, it was a two-hour moment of propagandistic blandishment, and it was nothing but uninterrupted.
	Russian, you know, propaganda and lies, then, you know, it was effective.
	You understand something?
	These are, this is the way we work, because we live, very simply, in a world that is so corrupt right now, where everybody, the mainstream media are in lockstep.
	Do you ever go to a pep rally?
	Everybody goes to a pep rally expecting to be saying the same thing.
	You don't go to a pep rally for...
	We used to have these things in high school.
	It was the weirdest thing.
	We'd have a, quote, pep rally.
	I'm thinking, what the hell is a pep rally?
	It's the most stupid thing I've ever seen in my life.
	And I said, what are we doing?
	Am I showing pep?
	Am I peppy enough for you?
	Is this a pep?
	Is there a pep?
	Quotient here?
	But everybody was told, you're going to show up, and we're going to say, yeah, we're going to bring the coach out.
	And I remember even then thinking, this is a coach, this subliterate, who was talking to us about winning a game, a high school game that nobody cares about within, forget 10 years from now, how about a week from today?
	Nobody will care about this.
	In any event.
	So, that's what news is.
	It's a pep rally.
	It's this...
	Excuse me.
	It is this series of blandishments.
	We're great and everything is wonderful.
	And Americans have believed very simply this.
	Three things.
	Number one, well, two.
	Number one, that the Ukraine battle is warranted that Vladimir Zelensky is this cool guy with a green t-shirt.
	Whose innocent, beautiful country was attacked by this marauding, rapacious Vladimir Putin who wants to somehow reconnect, reformulate, reconfigure, reestablish the Soviet Union.
	I mean, wow.
	Okay.
	Because he is a Napoleonic, Messianic.
	He's an imperialist.
	Okay, fine.
	You got that.
	I haven't even gotten to Israel.
	That is going to be the catastrophe of catastrophes.
	You don't even know what that one is.
	We'll save that one for later.
	And if you can't see this, I don't know what it is.
	So, a couple of things to notice before we do this.
	Oh, Daily Mail.
	There's one scene where Vladimir Putin...
	Is jiggling his leg or something and then puts his hand on it to, quote, stop his leg.
	Showing some kind of neuromuscular disease, ballism or something.
	Please!
	Did this man at any moment look like he was suffering the ravages of any kind of Biden-esque type of Confusion?
	Not in the least!
	Never!
	Never!
	When I was in high school, speaking of which, my study made, this guy jiggles his leg, he's a leg jiggler, and I'm not saying that.
	Neuromuscular problems cannot be evidenced by whatever it is, but what I'm saying is, for the love of God, this is...
	Anyway.
	Anyway.
	It was absolutely brilliant.
	And my friends, if you want to understand something, if you want to be a part of this world, if you really want to be a valued member of society, may I suggest to you the following.
	Number one, listen to me carefully, okay?
	And this is the most important.
	This is critical.
	Tolstoy, a Russian, said this, and it has been my go-to motto phrase since the first time I heard it.
	History would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.
	It's something which is so important, so critical, so necessary for you to grasp this.
	History is what you say it is.
	If anybody has ever been, if anybody has ever seen, if you've ever been a part of...
	Therapy or something, whether it's in a group or whether it's family or marriage or whatever it is, you will see and hear a version of the truth that you will not even recognize.
	You won't recognize this.
	You will not.
	I see it.
	I have a client.
	Where the family is basically in extremis right now.
	It's very interesting.
	Families sometimes have leaders.
	Not really leaders, but the loudest members.
	In one particular instance, the member has risen to the top, so to speak, and is the loudest and the most Distorted in terms of reality, causing other members to say, what is this even all about?
	Remotely, roughly, what have you.
	It's thoroughly fascinating.
	That's what history is.
	Sparky will tell you that he was obviously and openly a madman.
	It was brilliant.
	Now, I keep thinking about this.
	And we're also going to get to the part about Trump's Supreme Court.
	Supreme Court is going to rule, just as we had said.
	Basically throwing off, ruling, even Ketanji Brown and others said, you can't, you can't.
	Kagan said, you can't do this.
	You can't knock the president off.
	Anyway.
	We'll get to the document story, which is even more.
	But before we do this, A couple of things could have been done.
	Number one, I wanted to see the stagecraft as this came in, when they came in.
	I wanted to see this.
	It opened up, boom, there they are sitting there.
	I don't like that.
	There might be some B-roll or something before.
	I don't know.
	I do not know.
	I do not know.
	By the way, Underling Inc.
	Underling Inc.
	New member, thank you.
	Welcome.
	By the way, new members always get to see videos and stuff first.
	Thank you for showing your support of this thing that we do.
	And I mean that sincerely.
	So the first is, I wanted to see the stagecraft.
	Number two.
	Somebody could have said this.
	And this is important.
	Somebody could have said, what I want you to do.
	And they could have had people who were, quote, dissidents, people who have escaped.
	People think for some reason today that you seek asylum from Russia.
	They're living in a Soviet Union fantasy.
	They really are.
	They even call it the Soviet Union.
	But you want somebody to say, okay, I want you to say this.
	I want you, in the course of this, to say this, this, and this, using these words to mention three names, to let him know you're hip, and to let him know, wow.
	Um...
	If somebody were to say to President Biden, any particular information, do you ever learn about when, I'm not going to say this.
	There are some blinds, some great...
	I won't say it.
	There's some great...
	It's not beyond the realm of possible, but very disruptive.
	Regarding Biden and his wife and stuff that happened and Jill and how they met and, you know, whatever.
	But if I were in the course of a...
	Let's say in the course of an interview with Biden, to say something that only an insider would know, it would throw him off.
	They might say, wow.
	So that didn't happen.
	The most important thing was, and I still hope there's a chance for it, Evan Gershkovic, the Wall Street journalist, I hope...
	There is something that can be done.
	Because that would be...
	For example, to show the same effect of Brittany Griner, to have them do...
	Do you remember this?
	This might be before your time.
	Remember Jesse Jackson, POW, Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson reunites with two former POWs he helped free 20 years ago.
	This was something that was, that's not the one.
	It says that Jesse Jackson reunited with two former prisoners of war who he helped free from captivity.
	There was this other one, too.
	That's not the name of it.
	There was this one.
	He was a black airman.
	Remember, this was a black airman.
	By the way, Jesse apparently is not doing as well as in a match.
	This is just...
	See what I'm doing right now?
	Do you see what I'm doing right now?
	Do you see what I'm doing?
	This is called, I must get this answer.
	I must get, ah, Goodman.
	Yes, this was, he was shot down over Lebanon, killed the captive, Jesse Jackson, and the U.S. Airman shot down by Syria.
	That's right.
	Right.
	Goodman.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Bobby Goodman.
	Who knew he was Jewish?
	Anyway.
	At the time this happened, this was in 1983, there was a discussion whether this might have been actually a violation of the Logan Act because Jesse Jackson was acting almost in the capacity of a private citizen negotiating with a foreign country.
	Anyway, made Jesse Jackson look great.
	By the way, did you see what I did just now?
	I want you to do this.
	I want you to have this capacity where if you don't know something, you stop everything you're doing and you find out.
	If you don't know the meaning of the word, you find out.
	If you hear about an interview that the entire world was talking about, you make it a point to see it today.
	You don't tell me, I don't know what that word is, I don't know who that is.
	I cannot tell you if there's one thing I'm going to do.
	If there's one thing.
	I don't care if you know anything.
	I want to spur.
	I want to encourage.
	I want to invigorate.
	A sense of insatiable curiosity.
	Absolute insatiable curiosity where you have to know the news.
	You must and you have to know the news, definitions, terms, location, geography.
	I want it to drive you crazy.
	I don't know.
	I want to be the word that just makes you allergic to it.
	This is the thing which is so critical.
	I also want you to be incredulous.
	Believe nothing.
	Question all authority.
	Just...
	And ask yourself, do you think this could have happened?
	Do you think anybody anywhere...
	Do you think that Tucker met with any US intel folks at all?
	Does anybody here believe that Tucker just went to Russia on his own and said, I'm not talking to anybody?
	You don't think somebody knocked on the door and said, listen...
	We understand what you're doing.
	Let me tell you a couple of things.
	We're not asking you to act as an agent for us, but we want you to be a part of it.
	You're still an American citizen, blah, blah, blah.
	You don't think that happened?
	You don't think Putin expects us?
	Putin was KGB, FSB.
	By the way, let me try this again.
	KGB is a term, an FSB now, but KGB is a term that we use in a pejorative, like stormtrooper or Gestapo or something.
	It's to Russia what CIA is to us, what NSA and FBI is.
	It's something that a lot of people consider to be the subject of pride.
	Remember, and this is something which is critical, always put yourself in their position.
	Be empathic.
	Understand what they think.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	Okay, now, let's talk about this move, which is the most important.
	This is the most important.
	Robert Hur, special counsel, was concluded that he could not bring charges for mishandling classified documents because a jury would see the president as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
	Now, do you think those words were written accidentally?
	Do you believe so?
	Do you believe that this word, this phrase, do you think that he just on his own did this?
	Do you?
	Do you?
	Do you believe that...
	Do you believe so?
	This is...
	This is the part which is so important.
	So critical.
	Do you think that any of this actually happened?
	Do you believe?
	By the way, you know that Mr. Her is a New Yorker, a native.
	He was born to South Korean parents.
	You understand that?
	Do you understand that?
	So my question was very simply this.
	Do you think that he did this saying, I'm going to maintain a degree of independence, and I'm going to write what I want regarding Mr. Biden, President Biden, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
	I'm going to write what I want.
	I'm going to say anything I want.
	I'm going to write whatever I want.
	I'm going to...
	Do you?
	I love it when Wikipedia doesn't even have his actual date of birth.
	Well, he's 50 or 51. Wait a minute, you don't know this?
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	Do you think so?
	Do you think any of this, do you think they said, wow, I wonder what her, a member of the Department of Justice, a person who was on his way, who wants there to be, who wants to enjoy a life of whatever it is, you know, on the fast track, the green light, absolutely not.
	So let me tell you what he said.
	And then we're going to go through this, which is so important.
	This is one of the funniest things, because I'm thinking to myself, Mr. Hurd, you do know what you wrote, correct?
	You do know that this basically tells the world he cannot be president.
	You do know that.
	I'm sure you did this.
	Mr. Hurd in a report said that Biden, quote, willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.
	But he declined to issue any charges, in part because Biden's poor recollection would make him hard to convict.
	Quote, let me read this to you.
	This is from his actual report.
	In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse.
	He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview, when his term ended.
	Quote, if it was 2013, when did I stop being vice president?
	And forgetting on the second day of the interview, when his term began, quote, in 2009, am I still Vice President?
	He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Bo died.
	Still be believing that Bo somehow died in combat or killed in action.
	I don't know.
	Anyway.
	Did remember when his son Bo died.
	His memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate.
	That was once so important to him.
	Among other things, he mistakenly said he had a real difference of opinion with General Carl Eikenberry, when in fact Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama.
	In a case where the government must prove that Mr. Biden knew he had possession of the classified Afghanistan documents after the vice presidency, And chose to keep those documents.
	Knowing he was violating the law, we expect that at trial, his attorneys would emphasize these limitations in his recall.
	So what?
	So what?
	Let the jury find out.
	Let them find out.
	Let them...
	What?
	What?
	Too old, too senile, too demented to prosecute.
	But yet, the Democrats will spend the next, well, almost a year, arguing that President Biden has the physical stamina, the mental wherewithal, the acuity, the limpidity, the pellucidity to serve another four years.
	This is how, this is the absolute contempt.
	Contempt.
	The Democratic Party, they have for you.
	They hate you.
	They despise you.
	Do you understand what I'm saying?
	They despise you.
	You are a roach.
	You are an insect to them.
	You are completely and totally beyond the realm.
	You are unimportant.
	You mean nothing to them.
	Do I make myself clear?
	And they're laughing at you.
	They laugh at you.
	E.D. Crowley says, Mr. L., so is it strange?
	So is it that strange flu or true mental decline?
	Ah!
	You see, Ms. Crowley brings up something called, is it the Sicilian flu?
	The Sicilian flu is this classic statement, or this classic disuse, where mobsters, historically in the past, would, during their particular trials, This almost a discombobulated disconnect of whatever they just were.
	They don't remember.
	Remember, because as you know, competence, let me go through this.
	Competence does not mean insanity.
	We have something in law called NGRI, not guilty by reason of insanity.
	It's not insanity the way you know it.
	That's different.
	There's competence and there's sanity for purposes of this.
	Competence.
	In order to be a witness.
	For me, they would say, objection, Your Honor, incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial.
	This is what Perry Mason used to say.
	Incompetent.
	No, no.
	Witnesses.
	Witnesses are competencies.
	Competency is a witness.
	Irrelevant material has to do with evidence, but competency is witnesses.
	What do you have to be to be competent?
	Let me ask you.
	What do you have to be to be competent?
	Let's see.
	Class, listen.
	Don't say, I don't know anything about this.
	I know you don't know.
	Use your head intuitively.
	What do you think it is?
	In order to be competent, to be a competent witness, to be competent, What's the first thing you have to do?
	Incompetence is about ability or the lack of it.
	Very good.
	Very good drummer.
	We need to zero in a little bit more.
	Prepared?
	No, but that's very good.
	Now we're getting there.
	Here we go.
	Number one.
	Number one.
	Number one.
	Most important element of competence is what?
	Andy Carman says rational?
	Absolutely not.
	What year it is?
	Nope.
	A sense of agency and executive function?
	Interesting, but no.
	Very simple.
	Number one.
	You're under oath.
	First rule.
	First rule.
	A witness is incompetent if you're not under oath.
	You must be under oath.
	It means nothing.
	And under oath does that mean so help me God?
	You don't have to say that.
	Do you swear or affirm that the testimony that you're about to give is the truth?
	And you can say the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
	You can throw in so help me God.
	It's okay.
	You don't have to.
	It doesn't disqualify.
	But you don't have to mention God.
	Do you swear or affirm?
	I've never seen a Bible ever in a courtroom.
	Ever.
	I mean swearing in the office, but never.
	Do you swear or affirm?
	Some people don't swear.
	They don't swear.
	They have a thing about swearing.
	I don't know why.
	Not swearing in this, you know.
	But do you swear or affirm?
	Do you acknowledge that, yes, what I'm saying, I understand this.
	George Len said, like Vlad said, Joe's not in charge.
	Refreshing.
	How about Vlad, George, regarding...
	Nord Stream.
	I like when Pooh left.
	You.
	Even Tucker said, I got an alibi.
	You may have an alibi.
	The CIA doesn't have an alibi.
	Anyway, rule number one, you've got to be on the road.
	Number two, let me ask you something.
	What is the minimum age that you must be to be a witness in a court of law?
	What's the minimum age?
	Minimum age.
	What's the minimum age you must be in order to testify?
	And by the way, while you answer that question, while you think about that, the minimum age, I want you to listen to this incredibly important.
	By the way, we've got a special, special deal.
	And time is of the essence.
	You must pay attention to this.
	This is from preparewithlionel.com.
	We've got a deal going on right now.
	A deal of a lifetime.
	But listen carefully because it will end soon.
	When the economy collapses, will you collapse with it?
	You can feel it coming.
	All signs are there.
	With it comes financial disaster, tight budgets, and sacrifice.
	So plan for the worst with the best.
	My Patriot Supply.

	PrepareWithLionel.com Alright, dear friends, the question is, what are the rules of being a competent witness?
	Remember, competence is basically that ability.
	Your ability, your actual ability.
	In fact, let's look at the federal rules of evidence.
	Competency.
	Federal rules of evidence.
	Federal rules of witness competency, truthfulness, and use of documents.
	What is the rule of competent?
	Okay, competent evidence.
	Competent evidence tends to...
	Okay, alright, well.
	This is where the federal law gets into it.
	I don't particularly care for this version of it.
	I'm going to teach you the correct way.
	What's the minimum age?
	So far we say I have five.
	The whole Biden family is screwed up.
	Thank you so much.
	No argument there.
	Bustelo says no answer.
	I like that.
	I'm not answering.
	I'm not answering.
	Gina says 5, 12, 18, 16. I don't have to take an oath to tell the truth.
	Why would anyone do that?
	You want to testify or not?
	You can be held in contempt if you will not affirm that you are going to tell the truth.
	Old today, 21. No, the answer is simply this.
	I testify as a child 10 years old.
	The answer is there is no minimum age.
	You can be a fetus.
	You can...
	I think you'd have to be born.
	I think you might be born.
	Maybe.
	Oh, I don't think it's written down.
	There was a case one time years ago when a child testifies and all you have to do is you must understand that in order to hold them accountable for perjury, they have to understand that what they're saying is against the law.
	It's almost like a Miranda warning.
	You have the right to remain silent.
	Well, sort of.
	If you've been Brought in to testify and you don't have a particular privilege like Fifth Amendment or other, you're going to have to testify or else you're in contempt.
	Period.
	So anyway, children are the best witnesses.
	Oh my God.
	Oh.
	The best.
	This one little girl one time, supposedly I said, this is now a little Sally.
	Yes.
	Do you know what a promise is?
	She says, yes.
	A promise is like a mirror.
	You can't break it.
	Oh my God.
	This is beautiful.
	This is beautiful.
	Sparky said, had an elderly relative suffered from dementia, who sometimes feigned being demented when it was convenient, even though he didn't need to.
	Well, you know, it's funny you say that.
	My beloved father sometimes would feign deafness, I think, very frankly.
	When my mother was kind of, you know, being herself, sometimes he would.
	So anyway, but there's something to be said for that.
	So the first rule, you've got to be under a rule.
	Second of all, you can be any age.
	Are you going to tell the truth?
	Yes.
	That's it.
	Third rule.
	Actually, second rule.
	You witnessed, smelled, heard, touched, whatever it is, you You used an article of senses, one of the five senses, to see something.
	Yes, Your Honor, I saw it.
	I saw it.
	I smelled it.
	Did you know at that particular time that the test, when the heating and HV, whatever, the heating people, did they use that peppermint smell to perfuse through the house to see if there's a leak?
	Yes.
	Did you smell?
	Are you familiar with peppermint smell?
	Yes.
	Did you smell it?
	Yes, I did.
	It was very strong, too.
	Did you touch this?
	Yes.
	Did you touch it?
	I touched her.
	She was cold and clammy to the touch.
	Did you see him?
	Yes, he was wobbly.
	He drove off the road.
	Did you feel it?
	Did you touch?
	Did you hear it?
	Yes, I heard gunshots.
	I tasted it.
	It was bitter.
	Let's see, somebody's claiming that they poisoned the food.
	Yes, I noticed there was a rancid taste in the food.
	That's it.
	Yes, I realized during the fight, I tasted blood.
	I realized it was bleeding.
	That's all it is.
	So you got it?
	Number one, you're on the road.
	Number two, you experience something.
	You experience something.
	The next rule is, you remember it!
	You can tell somebody what happened.
	Mr. Sparky, yes.
	Did you observe the defendant?
	I certainly did.
	And what did you...
	I don't remember.
	But I know I did, because I remember talking to the police officers after I saw this.
	I do remember speaking to the police officers about what I saw, but I don't remember what I saw now.
	Wait a minute, what?
	I don't remember what I saw, but I remember seeing it, but I don't remember what I saw.
	That's incompetent, as a witness.
	Sorry, Sparky, you're incompetent.
	Was on a jury once where a four-year-old testified.
	Oh, absolutely!
	They are the...
	Oh, God.
	Let me point somebody out.
	So remember, got the rules so far?
	Under oath, you witness, saw, observe, whatever it was.
	That's number two.
	Number three, you can recall it.
	This just makes sense, doesn't it?
	But here's the fourth rule.
	This is the one that's important.
	Let's assume we have a vat, a little cup.
	And in it, I have what you saw.
	Or I have what you heard, what you felt, what you remember.
	And let's say I have a thermometer.
	How much did you have to see?
	How much?
	How much did you hear?
	How much did you feel?
	And, and...
	How much do you remember?
	How much do you have to remember to be competent?
	To be competent.
	How much?
	How much?
	The answer is, like a thermometer, by the way, you know the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer, don't you?
	The taste.
	Anyway, the reason, the difference, or the amount, is if it registers anything at all.
	The trial judge says, alright, he's good, he's competent.
	Let the jury decide.
	The jury weighs the evidence.
	The judge rules as a matter of law.
	Okay, you can testify.
	But, as far as what?
	Way to give him?
	That's up to the jury.
	State your name?
	Sparky.
	Is Sparky on or about February the 9th, 2024?
	Were you in a chat room called Lionel Nation?
	Yes.
	And do you remember?
	The particular words, the phrases, the particular intonations of one Edie Crowley.
	Did I see?
	Yes.
	Do you recall it?
	No.
	Well, take that back.
	She said something.
	I don't remember.
	Is that a comment?
	Yes.
	Let the jury decide.
	The judge doesn't want to keep stuff from the jury.
	He just wants to make sure.
	Mr. Sparky, on February the 9th, 2024, were you in a chat room?
	No, I wasn't.
	Thank you very much.
	You're not coming.
	You weren't there.
	To streamline the evidence, no, you're not going to testify.
	We're going to say this.
	Here's another one, too.
	Here's what you can never testify to.
	As a witness.
	As a witness.
	What is it?
	Opinion.
	Mr. Sparky?
	Yes.
	Did you see that?
	Oh, the car was speeding.
	How fast was it going?
	58, 59, excuse me, objection, opinion.
	Well, I happen to have my speed gun here, and I'm going to, okay, now that's a different story, but did you have any kind of device?
	No, I'm just saying, I know this, I know this block, and I've seen people speed.
	No.
	Objection.
	Opinion.
	Mower Man, where in the hell have you been?
	I've been calling everybody saying, where's Mower Man?
	What is he?
	Is he okay?
	Something wrong?
	You're not doing that thing again, are you?
	I don't want to bring it up now, but you know what I'm talking about.
	Mower Man says, morning, Mr. L. Tucker, man of the hour.
	Biden, biggest off ever issued to the American people.
	Biggest...
	Oh, F off!
	Excuse me!
	Hillary, still a waste of oxygen, and Vlad, he may be more scary than any Chinese marching band.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, absolutely.
	More men.
	Thank you, sir.
	Oh, Vlad, I thought...
	Do not.
	Have you noticed how those people get scary?
	Have you ever seen Xi Jinping?
	He has one face.
	She said, Natalie Holloway.
	You ever seen Natalie Holloway?
	Bless her heart.
	The woman in Aruba, she was kidnapped and murdered.
	She has one picture.
	One picture.
	All the time, they just photoshopped.
	Can you imagine sitting with, can you imagine, by the way, before we get back to this, can you imagine a Mormon, Vlad Vivek Ramaswamy?
	Did you, oh, oh, oh, quick, let me stop right now before I forget.
	Before I forget.
	Before I forget.
	Yes or no?
	Did you think Tucker was scared?
	Meeting with Putin.
	We'll pick this up in a moment.
	Yes or no?
	One for yes, two for no.
	Did you think Tucker was like, oh man, I'm in the Kremlin or wherever this office is?
	You notice the difference in the furniture too?
	Notice the style?
	I mean, it looks palatial in terms of the size.
	But you notice how...
	Did you think Tucker was nervous?
	A little intimidated?
	A little bit?
	You better believe it, and that's good.
	I mean, he wasn't, he just, he just, what happened, and we'll get back to this moment, what did you think when Putin said, first I'm going to give you a little history?
	You think it was a, oh no, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, excuse me, pardon me, we're not going to do history.
	With all due respect, Mr. I mean, what's he supposed to do?
	See, I'm thinking to myself, why is he doing this history thing?
	Is it just to kind of...
	Is it to show like two dogs kind of smelling each other?
	Like, I'm going to start telling you some history.
	He was scared.
	I mean, of course he kept his cool tip, but you could tell right away he just...
	Listen, I thought he did a good job.
	I thought he did a good job.
	I also remember something.
	Always do what Buckley did.
	Have a...
	And Buckley, by the way, I think is Tucker's brother.
	William F. Buckley.
	Always have a pad.
	Show that you have a list.
	I didn't see this.
	Maybe he did.
	I don't know.
	I don't recall it.
	Make sure you have this.
	Okay.
	Just a minute.
	Oh, yes.
	Make it look like he's got an agenda.
	He's ready to go.
	He's going to ask me questions.
	Anyway, I thought he was very good.
	It sure as hell, that's good.
	Cliff says, he wasn't like Doocy drilling Biden.
	That nervous laugh was very telling.
	Oh yes, the laugh.
	He was giving context as to why.
	Yes, I agree.
	John McGuire couldn't get hired says, why he did the history?
	I think he did that because he would have a Western audience who have no clue and wanted to give the backstory.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	There's also something, and we'll get to this in a moment, by the way.
	There's also something important about, let me give you a little bit of a background.
	What does that mean?
	That means I know something you don't.
	When was the last time you ever gave history to somebody you knew?
	Mom, let me give you a little history.
	What?
	Excuse me, what was that?
	I want to give you a little history.
	No, I give you...
	What are you talking about?
	When you tell somebody, let me give you history, it tells two things.
	Number one, I know what I'm talking about and you don't.
	Number two, let me give you a frame of reference.
	Sparky says, Tucker seemed more relaxed to me than the situation may have warranted.
	Oh!
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	By the way, we're going to get back to this competency.
	Did you hear what Spark just wrote?
	Tucker seemed more relaxed to me.
	Then the situation may have ordered.
	What do you suggest?
	Sedation?
	Had a couple of pops?
	I don't think so.
	I thought he handled it.
	You must show respect for a dignitary and the office to the people.
	Let me give you an example of something.
	You may think that...
	I don't care what you say.
	As far as your thoughts, if I ever met King Charles, by the way, nothing about King Charles.
	Nothing about Kate.
	Nothing.
	Can these people keep secrets or what?
	Wow.
	And I'm reading the blinds and I'm reading the...
	Nothing.
	Anyway, if I met President Biden...
	I would show him nothing but respect.
	Why?
	If I met President Obama, show him nothing but respect.
	Because he's the president of my country.
	Not Barack Obama.
	Not Joe Robinette, whatever it is.
	No.
	He is the president.
	He's the Article 2, or is or was the Article 2, whatever.
	So if I go to a country and I meet their...
	I may not bow before somebody, but I am certainly going to show them decorum, and I'm also going to show them what amounts to respect.
	So I thought Tucker was fine with that.
	But you can tell this is a little daunting.
	You know, Tucker's biggest, most important person was Portnoy, that cretin, or Andrew Tate, or John Daly.
	You know, he's talked to a lot of people before.
	I mean, listen, I understand.
	Look, the guy's not, you know, Bertrand Russell, but still.
	John McGuire said, I also want to lift my suggested banner on Tucker returning to America.
	Tucker actually wore a suit, not khakis and a blazer.
	Good, good.
	He had to do it.
	And a couple things too, John.
	Number one, you notice the...
	Pocket square.
	He shows a de minimis little pocket square.
	Who did that?
	Stop.
	Two stops.
	We've got to go back to the...
	Don't you think I'm losing this.
	Men, when you do a pocket square.
	Number one.
	I should give a lesson in this one.
	How you wear it.
	John Kennedy wore this little tiny...
	Pointed in.
	You barely saw it.
	This was John Kennedy.
	Pocket squares are a different story.
	Pocket squares are a different story.
	Wait a minute.
	Here's more man again.
	Because he's feeling guilty over the fact that he hasn't been talking to us.
	Vivek going up against Vlad.
	A little like that little chicken hawk biting at Foghorn Leghorn's leg.
	I'm going to get me a big chicken.
	Vivek, not ready for prime time, despite being a billionaire.
	This is a different league.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Without a doubt.
	Sparky says, but history began 24 February 2022.
	Or was it October 7, 2023?
	Well, this new iteration of it did.
	So by the way, quickly, men, do not have that Pointed V. Never do that.
	That's the most stupid looking thing I've ever seen.
	Are you going to have this V?
	If you're going to wear a pocket square, pocket square can change a suit like you can't believe.
	Number one, don't do that.
	Number two, don't press it.
	Don't have the four.
	Don't have that straight across thing.
	That's the most stupid thing in the world.
	That's ridiculous.
	What do you want to do that for?
	That straight across thing?
	No, no, no.
	Also, don't have the four perfect points.
	The points, by the way, and I can't find this, were named 1.1 through 4. I think they were named after mountain ranges.
	Annapurna, Montblanc, Jungfrau, 1.23, whatever it is.
	If you want to go for the points, go ahead.
	But don't, if you can.
	Never, ever...
	Don't ever have a tie, the same color, the same fabric, the same material as the pocket square and vice versa.
	Don't ever do that.
	It's supposed to be contrasting.
	The best one I ever saw was Morley Safer.
	His tie, shirt, and pocket square combos, they were like from a different...
	You can do checks and stripes.
	You can mix it.
	You can be...
	Certain things, certain things work.
	If you want to do...
	The puff is the best.
	And one day I'll show you how to tie this.
	It's the best.
	And there's a little guard I'm going to show you that you can buy if you really want to do this.
	It's called...
	I'll show it to you.
	Remind me to show you next time.
	It's real cheap.
	You buy them and you kind of thread your pockets where you put it in and it just looks perfect.
	It's just...
	There's a way of doing it.
	But Tucker always has that little tiny...
	You never see world leaders wearing that.
	They always wear like that Macron look.
	Cameron, blue suit, dark tie, white shirt.
	Maybe blue shirt.
	Very rare.
	I don't go for that.
	I don't go for that.
	Reagan was absolutely...
	Reagan came up with a tan suit.
	He was ahead of his time.
	Seersucker, don't do that.
	John McGuire said, Da Vinci Code pocket squares.
	Yes!
	I don't know what that means, but thank you.
	Okay, let's go back to what we did about the competency.
	No opinions.
	Witnesses can never give an opinion except, what's the exception class?
	Except an expert.
	An expert was never there.
	An expert never saw anything, was not there at the scene.
	He's on the road.
	He's talking about something else.
	He's saying, does this fingerprint match with this fingerprint?
	Did this bullet come from this gun?
	Okay, he's asking a particular expert question.
	He wasn't there.
	He only gives opinions.
	Exception to the opinion rule?
	Collective facts.
	I walked in and smelled like onions.
	Objection!
	Opinion!
	Wait a minute.
	We all know it.
	Smelled like gasoline.
	I don't know.
	It smelled moldy.
	Smells are always an exception to that.
	Collective, you know, facts seem kind of crazy, you know.
	Objection!
	What is he, a psychiatrist?
	The best, the best, the best witnesses ever.
	One time had a DUI case.
	No big deal.
	No breath, no blood, no field sobriety test, no video, no nothing!
	Nothing!
	Except the video, or excuse me, the bartender.
	State your name for the record.
	Moorman USA.
	Mr. Moorman, where are you currently employed?
	I'm a bartender at the Dew Drop Inn in Sandusky, Ohio.
	How long have you been there?
	35 years.
	Mr. Moorman, how long have you been a bartender?
	Oh, 50 years.
	I've been doing this since I was a kid.
	Mr. Moorman, have you ever had the opportunity to observe somebody under the influence of alcohol?
	Are you kidding?
	How many times?
	How many times?
	Over 50 years?
	Oh, God.
	10,000?
	I don't know.
	And based upon your experience and your observation of the defendant that night, did you form an opinion?
	As to whether he was under the influence of alcohol?
	Oh, yeah.
	He was gassed.
	The best.
	You know.
	Did you ever see where somebody says, excuse me, we walked in and the defendant shat his pants.
	How do you know that?
	How do I know that?
	Excuse me, did you see anything?
	No.
	No, I didn't see anything.
	Keep going.
	This is a sensory take.
	Sparky says, in my dress-up days, I opted for a three-peak pocket square.
	Of course, I'm from the Deep South.
	New York City is definitely better on fashion.
	Oh, no, it's not.
	Oh, no, no, no, it's not.
	Oh, no, it's not.
	No siree.
	Uh-uh.
	Side note.
	Every man.
	Every man.
	The only problem, you know what it is most of the time?
	I don't know about you, but I always had weight fluctuations.
	Yeah, you got a suit, and then, you know, we got the wedding coming up.
	Does your suit fit?
	Do we have to let it out?
	I don't know.
	That's the thing that always scared me.
	I don't know.
	I should.
	I don't know.
	Well, try it on.
	Do you ever do that where you put a leg in and go, oh no.
	You put your leg in and it's like, oh no.
	You realize, I'm not even going to bother.
	I can't even get a leg in this damn thing.
	Did I ever wear this?
	Did somebody shrink this?
	Excuse me.
	Did somebody come in the middle of the night, take my suit and shrink it?
	This is not even funny.
	But everybody needs a blue suit.
	Blue suit.
	One.
	You can go to any place.
	You can go to a suit warehouse.
	You can do Joseph Bank.
	Tirrett is great.
	Anybody.
	One blue suit.
	That's it.
	Here's where you spend your money.
	You ready for this?
	Forget the suit.
	Tailor it.
	Go to a real tailor and fix it.
	I'm not talking cuffs and sleeves.
	I'm talking about moving it in.
	If it's too big here, bring it in.
	If it's too big, where it looks, where you put it on and you think, oh my God, it's too tight.
	No, it's not.
	It fits perfectly.
	Most people have never had a suit that fits perfectly.
	You think it's tight because you're used to it being baggy.
	Oh, no.
	White shirt?
	You want to go pattern?
	Whatever it is.
	That's it.
	There's a judge.
	His name is En-Garon.
	This is Trump's judge.
	One of his official pictures, he's got a pink, like a purple shirt on.
	This is his official portrait.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	And if you're real hardcore, lace-up cap toe shoes.
	Boom.
	That just says, whoa.
	Whoa.
	No jewelry.
	You know, I might see jewelry.
	None of these gold bracelets and things.
	When you meet somebody, you go look for a job.
	Oh, man.
	I'm telling you.
	And you have to listen to somebody who knows what they're talking about.
	Anyway, enough about that.
	So the bottom line is simply this.
	Before I finish, I've got to tell you something.
	And I'm going to just say this from the heart.
	Because this thing changes all the time.
	It changes all the time.

	Hang on a second.
	Let me see something here.
	John McGuire couldn't get hired.
	He says, used to sell suits.
	Pro tip.
	Go up one size, take it to a tailor, and because it's a custom suit, you need one size up because off the rack doesn't have enough material.
	John, you are so right about that.
	Remember, take it to a tailor.
	Absolutely.
	It's always better sometimes, certain tailors will tell you, taking it out, bringing it in is hard to say.
	Zoruba says, what do you think Putin's weakest moment was?
	You know, that's a great question.
	Weakest moment.
	Weakest moment.
	That's a great question.
	Let me ask you.
	What do you think so?
	What do you think so?
	What do you think?
	I'm trying to think, a weak moment.
	I think he could have explained more.
	I think he could have explained more.
	That's what I think.
	I think he could have...
	Like, for example, here is the thing.
	Now, I don't know if he did this, so maybe I missed it.
	But I always love an example.
	In 1962, your country threatened war with my country over nuclear weapons in Cuba.
	Actually, it was Turkey, and it was a different story.
	And you have something called the Monroe Doctrine.
	You have a Monroe Doctrine where a European or any country will not encroach upon your hemisphere.
	Will not do this.
	Not on your border.
	So you, the United States, the great United States, has in essence a sense of protection barriers regarding your own sovereignty.
	You should have absolutely no problem whatsoever.
	Were you threatening to occupy Cuba when you told Russia to get out?
	No.
	Not at all.
	Not even close.
	To occupy?
	Not at all.
	You weren't going to occupy anything.
	You were saying, get out.
	I said it before and I'll say it again.
	We're not going to have a NATO troop on our border.
	And by the way, remember, they told...
	He did make reference to the fact when...
	Gorbachev, they said, well, we didn't write this down.
	And then later on, they said, the reason why we don't have to honor the agreement about that one inch east of Berlin was because they said, well, the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.
	So there's nobody for us to enforce.
	Excuse me, the whole goal of this was the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and now you're saying because it doesn't exist, you don't have to honor it anymore?
	What?
	Huh?
	Sparky says, Had I been to New York City in a while, maybe my observation about New York City fashion no longer applies.
	Never could buy off the shelf.
	It was difficult to find a tailor in the South.
	Florida might be different.
	I will tell you this much.
	Many, many, many, many, many, many, many things have changed drastically.
	By the way, George Lenn says the bar was very high for Vlad, but he cleared it.
	Oh, I think so.
	Let me go back to one thing about men in fashion and that sort of thing.
	What happened years ago was Dress Down Fridays.
	Remember that?
	When did that happen, honey?
	Dress Down, was it the 80s?
	Huh?
	Casual Fridays.
	In the 80s.
	That was the beginning of the end.
	I went to a high school where we had to wear a tie.
	Not a jacket, but a tie.
	That changed everything.
	Of course, we wore ties that look like something from...
	like you would spray water out of them like a clown would wear.
	But it has a lot to do with that.
	When you see kids wearing a uniform, it changes the way you act.
	It changes your demeanor.
	It does a lot of things.
	Tailoring today.
	The real tailors.
	There's a guy that I'm not going to mention his name, but I go to.
	And this fellow one time showed me on his rack shirts and suits that you can't believe it.
	They've got some Ketan suits.
	Five?
	Ten thousand?
	Forget it.
	Tom Ford's shirts.
	This is crazy.
	$100, $200 a shirt.
	That, I think, is nuts.
	But a suit, ketone suit, you can take it, you can squeeze it.
	You can always tell a suit that if the material is right, it lasts forever.
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	Never dry clean.
	Never.
	I don't know about shirts, but suits, never dry clean.
	Never.
	Get impressed.
	You will never, you probably will never even have to take it to the, maybe steam press it once.
	Never dry clean.
	Never.
	Do you see that shiny look?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No dry cleaning.
	No, no, no, no.
	More man said, Israel, I have been to more do drop-ins than I care to admit.
	But always on the civilian side of the bar.
	And Mr. Raul, I will never answer any questions.
	Sort of like a deposition.
	You know, it's so funny, Mormon.
	I am...
	I love our...
	How do I say this?
	I love old dive bars.
	Raul says, how will the Tucker-Vladimir meeting will influence world politics?
	You know what?
	Let me stop for a second.
	That's a great question.
	Will it affect?
	I think it will validate a lot of people's minds.
	I think so.
	Let me see something quick about Mormon.
	There was a dive bars.
	There's a couple of them in New York that are on 9th Avenue Rudy's in Hell's Kitchen.
	Have you seen that one with the pig?
	You've got to see this one.
	There's McSorley's.
	It's one of the oldest.
	That's kind of in the village.
	This was Civil War, and they even have at the top, they have wishbones.
	I think that in World War I, they're still hanging with the dust, and you can only get ale.
	They only have ale.
	Pale or dark, and maybe like a liverwurst sandwich or something like that.
	It's classic.
	With kind of a limited reference to that.
	There's some others.
	There's a great one, too, on the Landmark Tavern on the west side.
	In the kitchen, by the way.
	18...
	I think it's either right after Civil War.
	That's been around.
	But give me the smell of a bar.
	An old, creaky...
	Oh, there's one in Chelsea called McManus, the Irish pubs Druids, and nothing too nice, but just an old bartender, the smell, the minimum bar fare, nothing, you know, no fancy drinks, no brass and glass and ferns, none of that jazz.
	Just there's something about seeing old timers.
	There was a bar.
	In the subway on the 1-9 line called Siberia, I think it was.
	You just get off the train and there it is.
	You have like three or four chairs.
	That's it.
	I thought that was the greatest thing in the world.
	Nobody knew about it, but it was right there.
	I think it was called Siberia.
	I believe it is called.
	Veritas says, good day, Mr. Nation.
	Thank you, Veritas.
	God bless you, and God bless you Aussies.
	John McGuire says, you know it's an old bar when they give you a short glass with your beer.
	Oh!
	When you see places that have P.J. Clark's has in the men's room the urinals, you look like a voting booth.
	I don't know what the hell this thing is, but you almost step into it.
	There's this I think PJ, I haven't been here a long time.
	They used to have the bar, the mirror was gone.
	And the reason for the bar, the reason for a mirror behind the bar is that when you're at the bar, you can see people behind you so nobody will kill you.
	There was a place in St. Pete called, it used to be El Cap.
	I think it's still there.
	Best cheeseburgers.
	Anybody's ever seen.
	And they served old-style beer.
	Frank Bonfile was the owner.
	And he would say, I don't know Dave, I don't know Dave, I don't know Dave, I don't know Dave.
	He knew everybody's name.
	And I realized later on he said your name 90 times the first time he met it.
	And so we went there one time and this guy came up to me and he says, I'll tell you something, that's Augie's chair.
	I said, what?
	There was this...
	Bar at the front.
	Because to me, eating at a table is one thing.
	Eating at the bar is a whole other experience.
	So my friend and I said, excuse me, that's Augie's chair.
	Is Augie here?
	No, but I'm saying, but if he comes here, it's Augie's chair.
	Okay.
	I'll let you know.
	I said, okay.
	I'm getting nervous.
	The guy next to me sits down and he says, you know, that's Augie's chair.
	I said, I know.
	Is Augie here?
	No, he's not here.
	I just want to let you know.
	So, as we're sitting there, I feel this kind of breath, this presence behind me.
	And I turn around, and there's a guy looking at me.
	I said, you must be Augie.
	He says, yeah.
	I said, I've been saving your seat for you.
	There's something about bar etiquette.
	One time, years ago, my friend and I were in the village.
	God, this is a long time ago.
	Went to this one little joint, and we didn't notice.
	But there was nothing but women there.
	I didn't notice.
	It was just a bar.
	And I looked and they had the women's line was forever.
	And the men's room, there wasn't a men's room.
	Oh, if there was, I don't know where it was.
	So I turned to my last friend and said, oh, I know where we are.
	Okay.
	I remember the bartender was looking at me.
	They called them lesbians then, but we don't anymore.
	This was years ago.
	So, They're looking at me like, where the hell are you doing here?
	So what do you do?
	What do you do when you're first place and you want to get along?
	You say, I'd like to buy these ladies around, please.
	That's it!
	Everybody's friendly.
	Everybody's friendly.
	No matter where you go, there's this thing that is not fancy, not...
	Like the place that E. Jean Carroll went to?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	And I'm afraid that the local place, the local bar, the place with the regulars, that is as much...
	Check this book from New York, Dive Bars.
	There's something about it.
	And sometimes I just walk by and I'll just take a whiff, just get that smell.
	Because there's something, the spirit, the...
	There's one place to think it's McManus.
	There's a bullet hole where somebody's shot.
	Anyway, enough of that.
	Well, we've covered quite a bit.
	Bottom line is simply this.
	As to last night, Tucker, I think he acquitted himself well.
	He was not loaded for bear.
	He is not Mike Wallace.
	Mike Wallace, remember, was a guy who asked the Ayatollah.
	They say you're nuts.
	What do you say about that?
	I don't think Tucker would have said that.
	You know, that might have been a bit rude.
	But understand something.
	And this is the most important thing that I want you to recognize, my dear friends.
	And I want you to listen to me very carefully.
	And I think you'll understand this.
	First, we do not have good guys.
	We do not have good guys.
	We do not have bad guys.
	We have guys and gals and people.
	And we see things from their Point of view.
	And you must, as McNamara said in The Fog of War, you must empathize.
	You must empathize.
	How many times, Sparky and I have talked about this, we've talked about this.
	I think I've told you a friend of mine in Vietnam, 82nd Airborne, he served our country.
	I said, do you have any question?
	As to how brilliant the Tet Offensive was?
	Do you understand how that was?
	Now, I'm not saying I sided with the VW, but do you know how brilliant the Tet Offensive was?
	Do you have any idea of what that was?
	General Jap, I forgot how you spell it.
	He was the genius.
	And he had this, he says, we're going to redo warfare.
	We're going to redo it.
	Americans are doing, they're fighting World War II.
	Planes, homicers, artillery.
	Now, these people, they're in.
	Remember, we live here.
	They said, grab them by the belt.
	Pull them in.
	Pull them in tight.
	And then, take off.
	Pull them in so tight where they can't fight.
	You can't, if somebody's right there, you can't fight.
	You can't call in artillery because you'll kill yourself.
	It's a suicide.
	And plus, you have people who'd be willing to die if they did this.
	And take off.
	There was one fellow I heard, I think he saw one VC, NVA, maybe.
	Oh, VC, because it depends where you were, in the south or the north or whatever.
	He said, and they were dead.
	He never saw them.
	All he saw was snipers, or heard of as snipers, booby traps and the like.
	Now that's genius.
	Now, can I say that somebody was genius without saying, I was pulling for the Vietnamese.
	Is there anybody who does not understand how we went to Vietnam and we just basically told these people, screw you, we're going to bomb the hell out of you.
	Is there anybody here who actually has enmity, hatred for the Vietnamese?
	We went to their country.
	This isn't about whether you like it or not.
	It's what do you want?
	Sparky says, love die bars.
	Is the bar scene still around or have the kids lost all interest in real local social interaction?
	I couldn't tell you.
	I couldn't tell you.
	That's not my scene.
	I don't know.
	I'm not sure.
	And young folks, I have no idea.
	I have no idea.
	I think there's just everybody.
	I have this one.
	Do you have this thing on Apple where they have the pictures?
	All of a sudden they have these pictures.
	And they...
	Dead.
	Dead.
	This one, dead.
	Dead.
	20 years ago, the local Irish bar scene in New York was the greatest thing you've ever seen in your life.
	It wasn't even a bar.
	It was like Cheers meets Archie Bunker meets Kelsey's and that sort of thing.
	More Man says, give me a real old man bar where no one gives you the stink eye for having a drink at 8 a.m. or before.
	Thought for the day.
	You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.
	Ah!
	There is a place I believe it was called Moorman.
	It's called, well, it's very famous.
	It's still famous.
	And it's called Rudy's.
	Rudy's, you can't miss it.
	Rudy's Bar.
	It says, cheap beer in New York City.
	I think they give free hot dogs.
	It is, uh...
	Rudy's has been there since...
	Let me see.
	Rudy's Cheap Beer.
	This place has been to Free Hot Dogs.
	You can't believe it.
	It's Rudy's Bar NYC.
	Check this out.
	And they've got the usual cheap beer and free hot dogs with any purchase.
	Okay?
	And you can't miss it.
	There's a pig in front of this.
	Big pig.
	Cash only.
	No reservations.
	Not a place for children.
	Must be 21 to enter.
	Free hot dog with any purchase.
	Open every day.
	Free Wi-Fi.
	On 9th Avenue.
	I like that.
	No children.
	Not a place for children.
	I love that.
	The history.
	The history.
	Rudy's got one of New York's first liquor licenses when Prohibition ended in 1933.
	Al Capone, James Gandolfini, Paul McCartney.
	Don't mind the six foot...
	I don't know what the hell that has to do with anything.
	Gandolfini used to make his rounds in this area.
	Make a long story short.
	There's something about...
	And I found this fascinating.
	When people get off of work early...
	Sometimes they're kind of what the word is.
	They work different shifts.
	In fact, there was a place called the Blarney Rock, right by the garden.
	Not the Blarney Stone.
	Blarney Rock.
	And at lunchtime, it was weird because we used to do morning drive.
	I'm there at 5 o 'clock in the morning.
	We're up at 3. So by 10 o 'clock, we're exhausted.
	We put in the whole day.
	10 o 'clock, we're done.
	And there was this place right there where everybody would go afterwards, DJs and mailmen.
	And then at lunchtime, the construction people would come up thinking, how do they work on beams?
	And they're doing, you know, it's a whole other world.
	And nobody ever said, hey, isn't this a little early?
	No.
	Granted, I'm not advocating that, you know, drinking at 8 o 'clock in the morning.
	But if you've been up for 12 hours, it's a different perspective.
	Oh, hang on.
	More, man.
	Here we go.
	Veritas says, I think Tucker allowed a man that wished to tell his own story.
	To tell his own story.
	Tucker is a pro.
	The recorded version is a masterpiece of historical value.
	Imagine if we could get a rant like that from Julius Caesar or Napoleon Bonaparte.
	Well, you know what's funny you say that?
	I think I would have been much more upset Had he been rude?
	Can you imagine Bill O 'Reilly interviewing him?
	Seriously, he could have probably caused a war.
	There's something about showing deference because remember, this is for the Russian people.
	Let me explain something.
	Is there a place on the planet where you can go to where crazy people live?
	Who are despotic and want to take over the world and kill people?
	Do you think that Palestinians are crazy?
	Do you?
	Let me ask you a better question.
	Do you think that Israelis are crazy?
	Do you think?
	Again, We're getting a lot of mixed information here.
	And we're getting a lot of stuff from people who are in Israel who believe in being stronger.
	They want this back.
	The Zionists and that sort of thing.
	If you lived in Israel, if you lived there, and this was your place, would you say to yourself, look, this is none of our...
	You can't go to some Palestinian's house and say, hey, I'm from Brooklyn.
	I live here now.
	You know, the Nakba.
	You can't do this.
	Or, can you see somebody from Israel who says, you don't understand this.
	This is ours.
	We believe in the Bible.
	We believe in a biblical reason, right to be here.
	Hamas is the bad guy.
	These people are not our friends.
	We're not rapacious and murderous by nature.
	But we are not going to tolerate this.
	These people want us dead.
	This is tough.
	Now, if you can't understand this, if you can't understand Bibi Netanyahu, if you can't understand Assad, if you can't understand Hillary Clinton, if you can't understand this is what these people do, call them your adversaries.
	If you're going to go box somebody for the first time, You've got to know, when he lowers his left, you know that's the time.
	This is what he does.
	This is a tell.
	This is what people do.
	I'm not asking whether they're right, they're wrong, don't like them, don't love them.
	This is what they do.
	What do you think Russians think?
	Have you met Russians?
	Have you been there?
	Do you know how big Russians...
	Uh, hang on.
	Okay.
	Russia covers 11 time zones.
	11. 11. Russia was divided into 11 time zones in 1919 after the Bolshevik Revolution.
	Russia is a huge country by area expanding from east to west.
	11. Do you know what that means?
	Does Russia have 9 or 11?
	It's 11 time zones in Russia.
	11. Do you understand what that means?
	Though China is only as wide as the continental United States, the whole country is officially in just one time zone.
	Did you know this?
	China is almost as wide as the continental United States.
	Does that surprise you?
	I don't know why that...
	I never thought about that.
	Until this moment.
	I...
	See, I have this right here.
	You know, I never...
	You know what?
	You're right.
	That is incredible.
	I never thought about this.
	I never...
	You look at some of these big countries.
	China, India is huge.
	Kazakhstan is enormous.
	Doesn't that change your whole perspective?
	You know who I love are our friends.
	We have friends of ours in Australia.
	And sometimes we'll do business with people in Australia.
	Mrs. L does as well.
	So we have to do 12 plus, what is it, 15 hours?
	So 12 plus 3, right?
	So right now it's 9 o 'clock a.m. here, so it'll be 9. It'll be 11 o 'clock at night in Australia.
	You've got to stop and you've got to whatever it is.
	Somebody writes a very interesting question here.
	Hannity wouldn't have let him complete a sentence.
	I don't know about that.
	I don't know about that.
	Hannity is insecure in many respects.
	He's bombastic, but he always wants to show you he knows more than he does.
	And that's the tell.
	That's his thing.
	Going in, understand that.
	Understand what he...
	That's his thing.
	Plus it's his show.
	The most interesting blunder...
	Is Bill O 'Reilly, if that even matters anymore.
	Paul Raul Rodriguez says, on YouTube, first call a documentary about people who drink in bars in the morning a.m. in New York City.
	Yes!
	I saw that!
	Yes!
	I saw it!
	And I think Rudy's is in that.
	Yes!
	I saw that!
	That's another world.
	People walking around at noon and they're gassed.
	But let me go back to what I'm saying about this, the way to answer it.
	Actually, asking people questions is like hostage negotiation.
	When you talk to somebody, let me give you an example of one thing.
	Terry Todd says, 1am here in S.A. Coober Pedy.
	What the hell is going on here?
	He's in South Australia, Coober Pedy.
	Bless your heart.
	1 a.m.
	I don't know what you're doing there, Veritas, but bless your heart.
	Let me give an example of something.
	When you are talking to people, anybody been to analysis?
	I'm not saying that they don't work.
	I'm not saying that.
	There's some type of psychoanalysis that's important.
	Sometimes it is pulling things from you.
	In other occasions, it's telling you something.
	This is what you do, as opposed to let's work out how you feel about things.
	Very important.
	Sometimes they're critical.
	If somebody has, for example, a substance abuse, somebody's going through some kind of a serious mental health, you have to be more instructional.
	But to find out sources and why things are happening and what's the inspiration, you have to think differently.
	Let me explain it like this.
	One of the things that is one of the most important techniques ever when you are talking to somebody is to say something back to them as they would say it.
	Creates in their minds that you understand me.
	Think of hostage negotiation.
	The police, I'm talking to you, you're the hostage taker.
	They don't understand what you're going through, and they don't understand your frustration, and they don't understand your position, and they're making you out to be just a bad guy.
	They're not even listening to you.
	They're not listening to you.
	And the person will say, that's exactly right.
	That's exactly right.
	When I interviewed Robert McNamara, I said, I took his fog of war, took the line upon him not understanding or missing the point of Vietnam being, in essence, not a...
	It was really being a civil war.
	And I said it right back to him.
	And I said, the problem is that Ho Chi Minh was really a nationalist.
	He wasn't necessarily a communist.
	He was talking to anybody who would help him.
	But this was a civil war.
	And he says, that's it.
	Precisely.
	Because I just took what he said.
	So now I'm talking to him and he's listening to me because he knows I know what he's saying.
	I know it sounds corny, but it's true.
	Legacy media, this is Sparky, legacy media speaks of Russian imperialism, but they already have more land than they know what to do with.
	Absolutely.
	What about this one?
	Tap
	Listen to this one.
	The United States has about 450 to 500 military bases, with all 50 states having at least one.
	In addition, the U.S. has military bases in at least 80 countries.
	80 countries.
	80. As of September 2022, there are 171,736 active-duty military troops across 178 countries, with the most in Japan, Germany, South Korea.
	And these countries also have the most U.S. military bases, 120, 119, and 73. 73 military bases in South Korea.
	So if I was President Putin, what would I say?
	What would I say?
	Look at this.
	In China, Uyghurs held tortures in Oregon, harvesting.
	Funny that China is asked to promote any kind.
	Let me explain to you one thing about Uyghurs in China.
	Do you know what Xi Jinping is going to say?
	About Uyghurs?
	Anybody?
	Anybody?
	What's the official word on Uyghurs?
	No, I'm serious.
	I'm not trying to be cute here.
	What's the official word on Uyghurs?
	Uyghurs, the word is that they are tortured.
	They are kept under horrible consideration conditions.
	They are tortured.
	They are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay?
	That's Uyghurs.
	You got it?
	You got it?
	Now, what does Xi Jinping say?
	First thing I do is I find out what does he say about it.
	He will say, Uyghurs, these are Muslims.
	These are radicals.
	These are terrorists.
	You know about that, don't you?
	Now, I'm not asking you to agree with him.
	I'm telling you this is what he's going to say.
	As far as organ harvesting, does organ harvesting go on in this country?
	Now, let me not say organ harvesting.
	How about black market in Oregon or almost maybe a gray market in Oregon?
	Do you think that's possible?
	Do you think that even is remotely possible today?
	Yes or no?
	Do you really want to put any of our history?
	Do you want any of our history?
	To be put up in comparison to anybody else?
	Anybody?
	Do you really want to?
	I mean, I'm just saying.
	Do you understand what we're going to say?
	So the thing that Tucker had to do regarding Putin is, what do I want to do?
	What is my goal?
	What is my goal?
	Remember, if Gershkovic, Evan Gershkovic, If he's released to cut Tucker, oh my god, then they will know that is the biggest anybody's ever seen.
	Okay?
	But then again, you've got to understand something.
	He has to uphold his position as this is espionage, this is whatever it is.
	I don't even know the facts of the case.
	But I would imagine, I would imagine, he's going to say, we didn't keep this guy because he's a reporter.
	We kept him because they believe there's some probable cause of some kind of Espionage or some military intel something or other.
	Okay?
	Maybe that's it.
	I don't know.
	But we have Assange.
	We want Julian Assange in prison for what exactly?
	Snowden.
	These are journalists.
	What exactly?
	If Putin had said, tell me the difference, Explain to me, Assange, Snowden.
	Snowden, I think, is still in Russia.
	I'm not really sure.
	Do you think the United States could...
	Are you ready to explain parody?
	Are you ready to explain how we're different than them?
	Do you think so?
	What was Tucker's plan?
	What was Tucker's plan?
	To what?
	First of all, it was to say, to the whole world.
	To the whole world.
	You understand that?
	To the whole world.
	This is what I'm doing.
	This is the new range.
	This is the new world.
	This is the new form of media.
	This is all of that stuff.
	You got that?
	That's the important part.
	That's the critical part.
	That's the critical issue.
	This is a new media and a new methodology and I'm the new guy.
	And I'm new.
	I am new.
	I'm in charge of this.
	I'm running the show.
	I'm running the show.
	I am.
	This is how we work these things.
	I'm running the show.
	For Fox News who kicked me out, and anybody else who's been laughing at me, this is a new thing, and I have got the whole world watching today.
	And the rest of these people are so jealous of me, it's not even funny.
	I think we've gone too far.
	An hour and 36 minutes, ladies and gentlemen.
	That's how important today was.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	By the way, you know the second interview?
	You think Xi Jinping anytime soon?
	And if Zelensky says go ahead and talk to him, you know, you know Zelensky is not going to get anywhere near him.
	You know that, right?
	You know that, right?
	Zelensky is nowhere near Tucker.
	You know what I'm saying, right?
	Tell me you know them.
	They will not let Zelensky anywhere near Tucker.
	No.
	And there are also people who are going to say, well, we tried to get Putin, but he won't answer us.
	Who?
	Aaron Burnett?
	Wouldn't it be great if President Putin had a map?
	He said, here's a...
	I took all the names off.
	Here's a pointer.
	Point to Ukraine.
	Roughly.
	Just kind of the area.
	Where is he?
	Where is he?
	This is interesting.
	Marina says, I feel very sorry for Zelensky.
	He was a beloved satirical comedy writer and actor.
	Why in the world he became a president is just beyond me.
	Billions of dollars.
	Thank you.
	I don't know where his villas are going to be.
	I have no idea.
	Why?
	Just listen to a Meersheimer lecture on Russia and just repeat it.
	Here's the thing.
	This maybe goes back to realism.
	I'm not here to I'm an American citizen.
	I want my country to win, but I don't want my country to involve itself in something that's wrong.
	Just because it initiates a particular military action doesn't mean I'm in 100%.
	Look at Vietnam.
	No way.
	It was a mistake.
	I'll never forget that.
	You told me, remember that?
	Put silver wings on my son's chest.
	Make him one of America's best.
	The Green Beret.
	Remember Barry Sadler?
	Talk about, I mean, this was, you talk about propaganda.
	Remember on the movie, The Green Berets with David Jansen and Aldo Ray and Timothy, I mean, whatever, Hutton, the father, John Wayne.
	Oh my God.
	Sparky says Putin should trade the prisoner for Assange.
	Well, you know, that would be even more interesting.
	You know, this is the part that is so...
	pfff Thank you.
	See, I have no...
	Well, put it this way.
	What if they had mentioned Gonzalo Lira?
	Thank you.
	Leaders don't want to get into that.
	What happened to Gonzalo?
	We still don't know about Gonzalo Lira.
	He's an American citizen.
	You're supposed to protect him.
	He's like one of us.
	What are you doing?
	One of the things of the State Department, believe it or not, is for people traveling in different countries.
	Gonzalo Lira, you just looked the other way.
	You didn't care about him at all.
	You never cared about him in the least.
	How do you explain that one?
	How does that make sense?
	In any event, dear friends, dear friends, dear and loyal and great and terrific friends.
	Sparky, thank you.
	Veritas, our friend from down under.
	Raul Rodriguez, bless your heart.
	Thank you so much.
	Mower Man USA, do not be a stranger, dear friend.
	My best to you and yours.
	John McGuire, couldn't get hired.
	Thank you, my friend.
	George Lenz, through the lens.
	Zoroba.
	Excellent.
	Thank you so much.
	Welcome aboard.
	And who else is here?
	Let me see.
	I believe, I believe, oh, Edie Crowley, thank you.
	And to George Keene, our new member.
	Underling Inc.
	Welcome as well, our new member.
	And thank you all for being a part of this and being so...
	So wise and so beautiful.
	We will see.
	This is tonight an hour and 41 minutes.
	An hour and 41 minutes.
	We've talked about everything from Tucker to Biden to the rules of evidence to sartorial to wearing a tie to pocket squares to major bars.
	This is where conversations go.
	This is where they go.
	We just see.
	Where the wind takes us.
	Thank you so very much.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the Pope of Wesley Chapel, Mr. Dale Kimball, is back.
	He's been a long time.
	Dale, by the way, was part of a top secret plan, which I don't want to really go into now.
	He swore me a secrecy, but put it this way, benefits not only us, but I think the real world.
	Any of my dear friends, have a great and glorious day.
	We will see you tonight at 7 p.m.
	And again, thank you so much for this wonderful time.
	Don't ever change and mean that sincerely.
	And until next time, remember, the monkey's dead.
	The show's over.
	Sue ya.
