Let me try this in English.
Good day, dear friend.
Happy, happy Wednesday to you.
I hope you're having a great and a glorious and a beautiful day full of health and mirth and fun and fun.
Frolic and excitement and love and merriment.
As we discuss today, the latest version of this thing of ours, the latest aspect, the latest truth, the latest, well, what's going on, what you need to know.
And what I'm doing, in case you've just tuned in, in case you're wondering, what exactly does this guy do?
I tell you the way to understand it.
Not the way to react like everybody else does.
And the thing that I'm able to provide that nobody else does, the thing which is the most important, the most critical, the most unique, is that I'm able to provide time.
I'm able to give you time and to explain this without people wasting my time.
Does that make sense?
And if you've just tuned in, if you're brand new here and you've never been a part of it, you have no idea who I am or what is this guy about, you may very well find yourself thinking, because I will say something, let's say, in support of some things that President Trump does and not in others, you might say to yourself, oh, this is another one of these right-wingers.
And I understand that because that's kind of what people think.
That's what people think.
That's what they think.
That's what they think.
They say, oh, because you're not ballistically anti-Trump, you must be in favor of him.
Oh, and let me just say this so that you understand 100%.
I will always provide you.
I'm voting for him no matter what.
No matter what.
He is the only choice.
Now, before you think to yourself, Boy, that was a pretty strong endorsement.
Not really.
He is the only choice.
I mean, it's not that he's the best.
He's the only.
I'm sorry.
To you, they might be synonymous.
I guess technically you might say this.
But it's like you're starving.
You go to the fridge and there's nothing there except this.
What is that?
It's a half a sandwich.
Leftover from me.
That'll do.
I'll take it.
Thank you.
That's Trump.
So what I'm trying to do is, I'm not one of these effusive types.
I'm saying America must vote for him because he's the only choice.
But he makes loads of mistakes.
And I will tell you when something is.
I will always be truthful.
I'm not going to say something.
Just because you might like this particular thing, okay?
So just stand by for a second.
I just want to make sure we understand this.
Because it's critical sometimes for people to understand exactly what it is.
What am I trying to say?
What's the point of this?
Which is a very good question.
What's the point of what you're saying, all right?
So first of all, my friends, dear, dear friends, please like what we're saying.
Please subscribe to what we're saying.
It is so important, so critical, so monumentally critical.
And it is so important and so critical also because of the fact, and this is important, this is very, very important, this is very critical, that you like it, but that you maintain and understand that you are subscribed.
Sometimes people are being unsubscribed.
And in the event of getting this from people saying, I tried to superchat you, but I can't.
Should you ever...
Honor us with the glory of donations and support.
And for some reason, Super Chat doesn't work.
I have listed in the description portion of this where you can subscribe.
Crypto, PayPal, Buy Me Coffee, Filipino Krugerrands, Cardboard.
We even take cardboard.
It doesn't matter.
So think about that.
Now, speaking of which, I want to explain something very, very critical.
I have been a sponsor of these great people at PrepareWithLionel.com since I don't even know when.
And they make so much sense because here's the best part.
Emergency food.
Food that you can have for 25 years stacked in your I guess you might want to say stacked in your Well, you're...
What am I trying to say?
You're...
It's no longer a question of if something is...
That's the wrong one.
What am I trying to do?
What the hell am I trying to do?
Hang on a minute.
What am I trying to do?
Stand by for a second.
We're going to get to the...
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Look at this.
Imagine you trying, trying your best to say, okay, kids, listen, the stories have been closed, but don't worry.
We've got plenty of SpaghettiOs.
What?
Day three.
SpaghettiOs.
A little jerky.
Why?
Oh, I've got food in there.
Not like this.
Not like this.
Look at the varieties of it.
Look.
Look at this.
And right now, here's the deal.
A four-week emergency food supply kit.
Look at this.
Fifty bucks off.
Set it and forget it.
You buy it in my...
You want to buy one now?
Buy one now.
Next month, buy another.
You stack them up, And they're there.
And yet, don't worry about it.
25 years shelf life.
16 varieties.
Breakfast, lunches, dinners, drinks, snacks.
Packed into two of these rugged, waterproof, bucket, ammo things.
31 pounds of food.
Free shipping and handling.
I can't say it enough.
My dear friends, my Patriot Supply.
My Patriot Supply.
These are the great, but only go to preparewithlionel.com.
That's when you help us, and also you do a tremendous job in protecting your family, because I'm telling you right now, as you know, things are going to collapse.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be the harbinger of bad news, but it's true.
All right.
Now, let's talk about Trump.
Trump has a day off today from court.
And what I told you yesterday, in case you missed, yesterday, which is very important, in case you missed, when somebody, when you meet somebody, a friend of yours, who says something like, oh, you know, Trump is, you can say, by the way, Dave, assuming their name is Dave, you know, Dave, did you happen, Dave, to read the indictment?
You can say, what?
Dave, did you read the indictment?
You did.
You did read the indictment, right, Dave?
Hello, Dave.
Dave, did you read the indictment?
No.
Dave, it's 34 counts.
This is what this is about.
And the reason why I bring this up, Dave, is that you say things like...
Well, I mean, you say things which are kind of interesting.
You say stuff like, well, you know, the...
Money laundering.
He's not charged with money laundering.
He's not charged with hush money.
Did you know that?
It's not hush money.
He's not charged with hush money.
Dave, you know that hush money is legal, right?
Listen to what I'm telling you.
This is what you got to tell your friends.
You know hush money is legal.
NDAs are legal.
Have you ever?
Been to a place, let's say you quit or you were let go or you settled out and you sign your settlement or your...
I like when they say, they bought me out.
That's my favorite.
You mean, what did they do?
They gave you a couple of weeks of salary.
They bought me out.
They didn't buy you out.
You were on a contract.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't be a non-disparagement part.
Don't say anything bad about us.
Okay.
That's an NDA.
That's what Stormy Daniels is.
You understand that?
I can't say this enough.
And you've got to read this one.
This is my favorite.
Stormy Daniels is, and I've got to tell you this again, and this is where, again, I'm trying to bring you back into speed.
I want you to listen to what I'm saying.
And I mentioned this last night.
Stormy Daniels is a meertrix, a virago, a harpy, a cur, a shrew, a slatter, and a trollop.
She is on the lowest rung of the phylogenetic tree in my book.
I'm sorry.
I hope this may not offend you, but I think porn stars are vile.
Okay?
Vile!
You do this?
I know there have been porn stories.
And there have been pin-up girls.
We're not talking about a pin-up girl.
We're talking about Marilyn Monroe or Rita Hayworth or Betty Grable or even Victoria's Secret.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is different.
These are people...
This woman has probably been...
Now, this is the most important thing.
Maybe...
Maybe you don't care about this, but as you probably know, in the porn biz, protected porn has for the longest time been not considered...
What am I trying to say?
It's not been considered fashionable.
Okay?
It's not good.
There's certain...
Types of shots and money shots, as they say, are not possible through this.
I don't want to get into the rudiments of this.
So what I'm trying to tell you is that she has had unprotected sex with virtually tens of thousands of people.
Why do I know that?
Because each person, as you know, this is, remember when AIDS started, each person, you're having sex with somebody who's had, everybody they've had sex with, and this is tens of thousands of people.
And when you look at the permutation in the adult, Film world.
You're not talking about somebody.
You're not talking about this.
We've always known, years ago, there was this real harlot that we knew of, kind of in the biz, like in the finance biz.
She'd go out, get gassed out of her mind, end up in somebody's.
And at her best, at her best, who knows how many total partners she had in her life.
Don't think there's as many...
Story Daniels is another story.
Why am I saying this?
Oh, and one more thing.
As you know, there are a lot of...
How do I say this?
There's more money to be made, obviously, in straight porn than, dare I say, gay.
I'm sorry.
So there are people...
From the gay porn world who have changed lanes, so to speak.
So now you're getting another group of people involved in a very, very seriously dangerous behavior.
Age is not gone.
Why am I saying this, you're asking?
It's a good question.
Because I would say, President Trump, are you out of your mind?
Are you out of your mind?
First of all, with all due respect, and I know this may be, she's a skank.
That's number one.
And I know you might have some weird things.
Number two, though, from terms of your health and your family, are you out of your mind?
What is the matter with you?
This woman is a walking incubator of I don't know what.
Are you crazy?
This one?
An adult film?
And you know, you know.
And if you...
All right.
So, this is, this is, why do I say this?
Why do I say this?
Because do you have any questions as to why he might want to have kept this quiet?
Do you have any doubts in your mind that maybe he doesn't want the world to know that he has some predilection, some predisposition towards skeevy, sluts, slimy slatherns?
Can I be a bit alliterative?
I'm sorry, I don't want to be moralistic.
I don't think this should be against the law.
You can do whatever you want.
I find these people morally reprehensible.
There is nothing, nothing that I think even is remotely honorable or, hey, that's great.
Not at all.
Not at all.
In fact, I would venture to say that the number of folks, women especially now, because the whole porn industry has just been deregulated to the point of non...
Every now and then, we're on the New Jersey Turnpike, and they say, coming up, adult film, adult film, who are these people?
This is all do-it-yourself, and plus, a lot of them, I would venture to say, and Mrs. L would probably be a better expert in this, a lot of these women are trafficked.
Throw it into the thing.
You're going to be doing, I've got to pump out X amount of films, whatever.
I've got to compete.
Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
Does this make any sense?
I hope it does.
So the President of the United States says, listen, I don't want people to know about this.
That's his right.
And he can go to anybody he wants.
And say, listen, by the way, why don't you do me a favor?
Lizzie Solak?
Yeah, do me a favor.
Don't tell anybody that you and I had lunch.
And Hillbilly, same goes for you.
Please.
I'll pay you ten bucks.
Just don't tell anybody.
Don't tell anybody I know you.
I wouldn't do that.
But if I wanted to.
You got that?
Faye Dalton, same for you, honey.
Just don't.
Oh, you want me to sign this too?
Oh, okay.
Nothing wrong with that.
Not against the law.
Not against the law.
Let me say this again.
Not hush money.
Not hush money.
And even if it was hush money, so what?
Certain things are not against the law.
Certain things are not against the law.
Give you an example.
One time there was a famous I don't want to bring his name up, but there was a famous comedian who was charged with basically, well, pleasuring himself in front of people, kind of against their will.
Not flash.
And we were looking under the New York Code.
I don't even know if this is...
What is this?
I mean, exposure maybe, but it's inside, it's not outside.
I don't know.
Sometimes there are behaviors that you would think there certainly has to be something against the law, but not really.
Maybe not at all.
Who knows why?
We don't know why.
So sometimes there are things you just don't understand.
We had this case one time where, this is weird, where this one guy was driving like this.
But he was within his lane.
He never traversed the lane.
But within the lane, he was all over the place.
But he was in the lane.
Now, does that sound right to you?
No.
But it's not against the law.
Stay in your lane.
He did.
It didn't say go straight within your lane.
And we looked at it.
It's like he's in the lane.
I don't know why.
If he was drunk, he was just lucky.
Clearly, the guy's drunk, but...
Okay.
So you always ask yourself, where is this against the law?
What does it say?
I'm a stickler for that.
I've told you a million times, if you're charged with something, what is it specifically that they're telling you that you did?
It's up to them.
Not what you think.
What did they tell you?
So in this stupid world of ours, he keeps saying, hush money.
Hush money.
What's with you and the hush money?
There is no such thing.
I made it very, very clear.
Number one, number two, number five, whatever it is, 34 counts of this same thing involving this one person, Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, and this, whether it was a voucher, an invoice, a check, I don't understand.
Nobody does.
This is the piece of garbage that this case is.
So remember, you're going to meet people like this.
You're going to meet people.
You're going to meet people.
And when you talk to people, when you ask them, when you find out, you will realize they know nothing.
Let me give you an example of something.
Yesterday we were walking, Mrs. L. Nye.
Oh, beautiful day.
I told you we went to the Tulips!
Tulip Festival.
Uh...
Yeah.
Upper West Side, it was beautiful.
Oh, it was just...
So as we were walking, we went by John Jay College.
And there was a Palestinian...
Not a protest, demonstration.
Nobody was...
There were young people.
And they had signs out that said, nothing about death to the U.S. or death to Israel.
Anytime you put death into something, you're really...
This is not the way to do it.
Not the way to do it.
But they were talking about it, and it was completely, totally within their rights.
And they were doing nothing that was wrong, and they didn't bother anybody.
It's like, okay, that's the First Amendment.
So invariably, you will meet people who talk about the Middle East and what's going on right there.
Ladies and gentlemen, Cobbs says, I still don't understand how why DJT found himself within 100 miles of that vile human Petri dish.
Unfathomable, inexplicable, and astounding.
I'm with you.
Cobbs, I think we need to look at a few things here.
Everybody, I think in his mind, he is a...
He's into labels and guilt, G-I-L-T, and gilded, you know, gaudy.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
But there's something to be said for that.
There's something about this thing.
I'm sorry.
But it's true.
I think he wants Melania to look in a particular way, and he has what he's doing right now, this Margot Martin, which is, again, another idiot move.
He has this girl, young woman, 28 years old, because Alina Habba, you've been aged out, honey.
See ya!
What are you, 40?
See ya!
You can just go and do your thing.
You can go on Hannity and talk about the case, which is fine.
But he has this one...
And then yesterday they even said his other beautiful girl...
And you can tell they're going to...
This is Trump's thing.
He loves this.
And the thing I want to tell you, if it said Mr. President Trump...
Let me ask you a question.
If you did not...
If you were not Donald Trump...
If you were not the president, but if you were not Donald Trump with immobiliars, do you think these women would have anything to do with you?
Seriously.
Maybe you would.
Maybe.
They are vultures.
He's a vulture.
You have two vultures.
And he gets something out of it because it makes him feel good or sexy or...
I don't know.
And maybe these ones, they just love to...
Listen, I've said this a million times, and I've known friends of mine, people that I thought I knew, who want more than anything else to be considered sexy and hot, and all they do is they just take pictures of themselves.
I mean it.
I never thought this possible.
It's something I just don't understand, and I never understood it, you know, and I think it's very, very sad, but that's his thing.
And by the way, he has these.
He may have a case.
He may have a case with...
By the way, a couple of people I heard were lawyers on the jury.
Does that make any difference?
No.
I think it might help.
But anyway, as I told you, let's say you're a woman and you don't...
And I'm going to say something to you.
I'm going to say something to you.
And I'm going to see if I can do this very, very carefully.
Ladies, do you think a lot of women...
Let me rephrase this.
Do you find in your life that you have had more problems from women or men?
Let me start off with this.
This is for the ladies only.
I'm going to ask you a question.
Do you believe that in your life...
You have received more problems, more pushback, more whatever you want to call it, from ladies or men.
What do you think?
Who has been the biggest?
Amber says women.
Megan says women, 100%.
Diane says women, absolutely.
I know this.
I ask this as though I don't know the answer.
Audrey Lynn says women.
Laura, women.
Keep going.
Do I have to even ask this question?
Cliff says women are...
Kimmy Cliff says women times 100.
Yep.
And I'm sorry to say this, but it's true.
There are things that I hate to tell you, and I don't know if this is...
Look at this.
Tolkien, Tina says, by far women, period.
Lycross says women by far.
Yep.
And I don't know if this is all women, black women, white, Asian.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I would think it's all women.
Bella says women.
Pete says, I don't take BS from anybody.
Well, that's not, Pete.
See, also, Pete, sometimes it's easy not to take BS from people when you're in the desert.
Because there's nobody there.
That's all I'm going to tell you.
Now, Marissa says, sometimes women...
Okay.
But women can be bought?
Wow.
See, this is when men...
We had a Karen at my last job.
Her name was Karen.
Now, this is where men come in here.
Talkie says all women, race is irrelevant.
Women make it about power struggle versus getting across the finish line.
I'm going to say something to you, and I hope nobody takes this the wrong way.
But this is a behaviorist.
In addition to all of my other observations, I know this.
Number one.
And we can go back to atavistic.
Men, I will tell you this, men are the best pals to other men.
If I say, hey, buddy, you meet somebody, how are you?
Dave, this is my friend.
Hey, how are you?
This is terrific.
Jerry, do you know my friend Dave?
No.
How are you?
I've known Dave for a terrific...
That's my buddy, yeah.
Did you know that Dave is a triathlete?
You're kidding me.
Wow, that's great.
That's my friend.
That's my friend.
Triathlete.
Wow.
Seriously, that's terrific.
Dave, the friend goes to the bathroom.
He's saying, nice guy.
Now, let's take the situation through two women.
Three.
Ready?
Here's what we get.
And as soon as she left the room, what would happen?
Ladies, what happens when a woman, let's say a new one, goes to the ladies' room, excuses herself?
What happens to her?
What happens?
When she leaves, what do you think?
As soon as she leaves, meow.
What does she look like?
This is fake, this and that.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I wish it wasn't true.
It's true.
Sorry.
I don't know why that is.
I mean, I could come up with some, you know, atavistic theory of competition.
I don't know.
Who knows?
I have no idea.
And I do not know that.
But I know it to be true.
And I know that a lot of it has to do with the fact that women, Women are told, do not age out.
Women are always told, we're very, men are very, very lucky.
We can age and nobody gives a shit.
We just don't care.
Men always think they look better than they do.
Women always think they look worse than they do.
Men think they look great.
Men are far better.
The reason why, do you know why so many men, when they get to a certain age, you get to be pot-bellied?
Because they don't care.
They just, they're okay with who they are and they don't really care.
They don't care.
I mean, it's not a physiological thing.
It's not the fact that, well, they don't exercise.
They could.
But they're okay with that.
They're just okay with that.
And do you know what?
Do you know that sometimes, because I'm telling you right now, and this is something which nobody seems to understand.
And nobody seems, and I don't want to get into it now because I don't think this is the time or the place.
But one time, if you're ever interested, let me know.
One of the reasons why sometimes the not-so-hot-looking guy can oftentimes do very well with the, quote, hot-looking, and I use these terms just because of what society calls them, is because seduction has, number one, confidence as an absolute bottom line.
Confidence or humor or statement or making somebody feel okay.
It is as old as life.
You know and I know, my friends, sometimes, and I've seen this, when somebody has been, quote, blessed with Looks or appeal, whatever, at an early age, they never develop a personality.
And they never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever seem to learn this thing.
They feel that somehow they're blessed and they're better and they've got nothing to worry about and that's the way that is and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You got it?
That's exactly what happens.
You know it, and I know it's true.
And then later on, I don't know, something happens.
We have this thing in this world that this is what Deborah Harry looks like today.
Oh, man, it's called age.
What's the problem?
They make it sound like, oh, my God, what happened to her?
It's called age.
There's nothing wrong.
So sometimes you'll see somebody and it's like, okay, big shot.
You'll see somebody who's the young stud or whatever.
And I'm thinking, this guy's got the personality of a wet fart.
Good luck with this.
Because I'm telling you, my friends, I don't know when it's going to be there, Junior.
But at some point, at some point, you're going to find out that that thing that brought you to the dance, you don't have anymore.
Or people don't see it anymore.
Or whatever it is.
And you've got no personality.
You've got, you never developed this.
You never did.
There are other people who by virtue of the way, I'm sorry, because people have to adapt.
They find themselves in the position of maybe being a little bit more interesting.
And they do far better.
And we will never, ever, ever, ever, ever appreciate that.
Okay?
You understand that?
Now, I'm not making overall things.
But I will tell you, in my humble opinion, to me, to me, the height of the woman, the height, is when she gets to be at that point where she is, I don't want to say centered, but And I don't want to say grandmas, but there is nothing greater in the world, man or woman, than a grandma.
They're the best.
They're superior.
They've learned everything.
They know everything.
They've solidified their natural, I don't want to say maternal, but their protective instincts, they are absolutely the best.
And sometimes it can be cranky.
They're kind of the exception.
Okay?
Now, someone's getting upset.
Stop speaking for all of us.
I disagree.
Okay.
And by the way, I appreciate everybody, everybody being able to disagree.
But you can always tell that when somebody's getting very upset, that you've hit a nerve.
Remember that.
They doth protest too much.
That's not me.
I didn't say it was you.
Don't talk about me.
I'm not talking about you.
We're not all like this.
What do you mean we?
Are you okay with this?
We're not talking about you.
I know you were talking about me, weren't you?
I'm not talking about you because people see what's happening and they feel as like, this is me you're talking about.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
We're not like this.
We're nice.
Okay, okay.
Absolutely.
Whatever you say.
Granddads are great too.
Sometimes they can be cool, but sometimes I think there's a different story.
I'm sure they're great and wonderful, but grandmothers are just...
They're great.
Wrong again!
Just because I'm telling you I don't agree with you doesn't mean anything other than that!
So quit saying that!
Okay, take it easy.
Ooh, wow.
Go with that.
Go with that.
What do you think about that is problematic?
I'm very, very interested.
We should have that.
Because remember, when somebody says something, there was an old joke.
And the joke is, a guy walks in a bar and yells, all lawyers are assholes.
And the guy at the end of the bar says, excuse me, I resent that.
He goes, oh, are you a lawyer?
He says, no, I'm an asshole.
All right.
So we always see things our own way.
And there are parts about us that we don't want to accept or we're afraid.
And maybe we've had to come up with something because you don't know what it's like.
It's been tough.
It's been tough.
You don't know what I've been through.
And sometimes you kind of compromise a little bit.
You know what I mean?
Sort of.
Sort of.
And there's that weird thing.
See, one of the things that I think is the most dangerous that we do, especially to young girls, and I'm sorry, I know we got into the subject, but one thing is, and I'm sorry to say this, cheerleading.
Now, I know you're going to get upset.
I'm not talking about the athleticism or anything like that because a cheerleader today, my God, you see people, some of these girls are breaking their neck and they're jumping up and down.
I'm not talking about that.
That's not what I'm talking about.
That's not what I'm talking about.
When I was in high school, we had to say cheerleaders.
I'm saying, what is the purpose of this?
Okay!
Two, three!
What is this?
What is this primordial rhythmic...
Oh, I'm sorry.
I must read this.
You're painting a broad brush.
As if it's all women.
No, no.
I'm going by what you are saying.
You're sort of speaking for everyone.
Come on!
Who thinks I'm painting with a broad brush?
Anybody?
Who thinks granddad's sleep?
Who thinks, and please tell me this, who thinks I'm painting with a broad brush?
And I'm wrong.
I mean really wrong.
Because everybody's brush.
The fact that you've got a brush.
Is the problem.
So you're painting something.
So your brush, you can either have like a little model brush or a roller.
What am I thinking about him?
Do you think I'm being...
No, it's okay.
Because I keep telling you, you're entitled to your opinion.
Who's thinking...
This guy's out of his mind.
He's not even remotely similar to what's going on.
Come on.
You know that's not true.
Remember, you only take flack when you're over the target.
When you're right, remember, when somebody hits a nerve, I'm...
You see, you have to figure out, whenever you talk about somebody, I'm opening up a soul food restaurant.
Okay?
Let's assume.
And I know nothing about...
I know about soul food, but I don't know about restaurants.
And I've got to talk to an expert.
And my target is African Americans.
Let's assume.
Come in.
Tell me right now.
What is the...
What do African...
What do black people want?
What do they like in their food?
What about the decor?
What kind of music?
Should I have a black staff?
Should I have a white staff?
What works?
Tell me.
Generalize.
Broad brush.
I don't care.
I got a restaurant.
Tell me.
What is it?
Tell me how it works.
That's what's interesting.
That's what's interesting.
And somebody's going to have to come and say, You know, this, they say, wait a minute, you're painting with a broad brush here.
Well, yeah, I am.
That's what you're hiring me for.
Is it right?
Does that brush hit it?
Or is that brush off on the wrong wall?
Oh, no, you're hitting it all right.
It's just a broad brush.
So I'm genuinely accurate, okay?
Stop by for a second.
Stop by for a second.
I've got to read this.
And I appreciate this.
I'm going by my own experiences.
I've been friends with my friends for over 30 years and I've had no issues with women and cattiness.
It's that simple.
Good.
You're the one.
Ladies and gentlemen, get the museum ready.
She's the one.
One person.
I've never heard that.
But that's okay.
I've never heard of them.
Great.
Great.
Let's stand by it for a second, my friends.
Let's stand by for a second while we kind of collect our breath here.
Because I'm going to talk about something I think we all can agree with.
I think.
This notion of luxuriation.
Of being able to say, you know what?
I enjoy thoroughly pillows.

Let me ask you a question.
You have two candidates, equally qualified, same age, same whatever it is.
Everything is equal.
Man or woman, which one would you hire?
And it's just generalizing.
Completely.
Completely.
Because I've got my answer.
Who would you answer?
You say the man?
You say the man?
Come on.
You say the man?
Flatter says I never hire women.
Wait a minute.
So, Sarcastic intellectual human.
Man or woman?
Come on.
Dare I ask certain members of our group this morning?
I'm just curious.
Well, here's my answer.
What's the age?
What's the age?
What do you mean, what's the age?
Well, first, if I had an organization, I would hire maybe nobody under 40 years old.
No.
I would like people to be a little settled, and I really, really would love to see the person, man or woman, who loves their job and loves to put on a tie or a dress and go to work, and they...
I'd love to ask somebody, excuse me, do you have a picture of your desk, the last place you worked?
I hate these places now where they say you can't put a personal picture or whatever.
I think that's terrible.
You can always tell somebody's pride in their desk by how they have things.
So it's the age that matters.
It's the age that matters.
Remember when HR came along?
Anybody have HR problems?
Anybody have that?
Because I'm thinking to myself, I don't want to have a problem.
And if I see somebody and I'm thinking, let's say you had someone, and I'm sorry to say, and I know you're going to hate this.
I'm just asking you a question.
You have somebody who's, let's say, 20 years old.
What do you do?
Well, I was a model.
Oh, you're a model?
Yeah, somebody who obviously takes great amount of care and how they look.
And you've got a big place, right?
Are you married?
No.
Not married?
Okay.
I mean, you can't ask that question.
It's like Lou Grant with Mary.
But let's say you just find this out.
Tell me there is not one of you people who are going ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Uh-oh.
Problems.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
This is not good why, because you've heard of horror stories.
HR, he was hitting on me, I'm feeling uncomfortable.
Who wants that?
Who wants that?
And it's wrong half of the time.
Would you want that?
No, let me ask you something.
What would have, let me ask you, here's the best problem, best question.
Who would have less problem?
Let's say you had an office full of all women, or an office of all men.
Who would you have?
Who would you have less problems with?
The men or the women?
I ask you that question.
I'm sorry, I'm asking a question.
I'm not making a statement.
Who would you have less problems with?
All men?
Who would get along more?
Men or women?
You have a room, you have an office, and for some reason, you have just all women or all men.
Who would get along more?
Lisa says, men, absolutely.
Our friend says, You tell people you want to hear their opinions, then you pull sarcasm.
That I should be in a museum.
Really?
I never mention anybody in particular.
Did I mention anybody?
Did I mention anybody's name or anything?
If anybody's listening to this right now and they're not watching or reading the line, does anybody know anybody's name?
Of course not.
Does anybody have any?
Does anybody know this?
Does anybody have any?
Who am I saying this?
I've got a friend of mine, a black woman, who says she would never hire a black woman.
I say, oh my god, I can't even say this.
But she works in whatever it is.
And there are people who say, you know what, I know what HR is.
I know how these things work.
I know I've been there.
Have you ever been to one of these I guess they're like a lecture or something on What is and isn't acceptable?
What is and isn't sexual aggression?
It's the strangest thing ever.
What is this?
Now, this is acceptable and this isn't.
And this is okay and this isn't.
It's weird.
It's strange.
If you don't think, if you have not picked up any traits, whatsoever.
If you don't know about behavior, not in terms of...
I had a friend of mine who decided one day, she's a real lefty, and out of her mind.
And she decided she was going to open up a restaurant in kind of an urban, uptown kind of a thing.
And she's going to hire...
People from the area hire people from the neighborhood.
That was her thing.
I'm going to bring jobs and I'm going to hire people.
And I said, you're going to have a problem with this.
I said, first of all, do you know anything about the people you're hiring from the neighborhood?
Do you think they're going to feel some kind of an allegiance to you because you've reached out to the neighbors?
Of course not.
Who are they?
Are they too young?
Are they old?
She lasted, I don't know, less than a year.
They ripped her off like you can't believe me.
And I said, look, I'm not trying to say anything, but we told you this.
And we told you this because it's not so much about any kind of trades.
This is about people who just don't necessarily share the same kind of values or look at you as though you're some kind of a pal or something.
It doesn't work like that.
These are realities.
I'm sorry.
But the hardest thing for people to understand is realism.
And what's the truth?
They think that if you think something, that somehow you're a racist.
This is where we've gotten.
Because we don't even make observations anymore.
I don't know how to tell people this.
I don't know how to put them into perspective.
I don't know how to explain that there are generalities and there are things that we have seen.
I'll tell you, I was in something fairly recently, and I kind of come in and out.
It's an organization.
And up to a point, because it has older and younger, women in this group between, you know, From their 40s all the way to their 70s are constantly pictures, pictures, pictures, selfies, pictures, filters, pictures, Instagrams, pictures, love, love, love, oh, you're so beautiful.
Men not even interested in this whatsoever.
Older women not even interested, but there's this pocket.
And I thought to myself, this is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.
Not, isn't this great?
Look how gorgeous.
You're gorgeous.
We're gorgeous.
This is it.
I'm thinking, this is a political organization.
And nobody's talking about the speaker, the event.
It's just, you look gorgeous.
You're beautiful.
You're gorgeous.
And I don't know who's...
Maybe it's society.
Maybe it's whatever it is.
It made me sick.
I'm thinking, what is the matter with you people?
And with the filters, they look nothing like this.
That's the best part.
Filters.
They don't look anything like this.
Now, let me explain something.
Are all of these women rare?
No.
Are they emblematic of huge swaths?
Yes.
Why is that?
I don't know.
Is it true?
Absolutely.
Is it sad?
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
I wouldn't want any of these working in my organization for anything.
They're nothing but trouble.
A bunch of stuck-up beauty queen wannabes who are on the back nine of life who, for some reason, care only about...
Oh, and I didn't tell you about the facelifts.
Oh, dear God.
Not interested.
Trouble.
Trouble.
Shallow.
No interest.
And in a political organization, well, what about the speaker?
You look beautiful.
That's it.
It's the most important thing in the world.
Now, something's wrong.
We can get to the reality of this later.
Have you ever seen this one?
I used this one time and somebody got so mad, I said, you know what that is?
You know what that's called?
That's called the Fallen Beauty Queen.
What?
And I didn't realize she kind of was like, well, this was somebody who, you know, might have been in her youth, you know, so-and-so.
Oh, that I hit a nerve.
Raw nerve?
Well, like, you can't believe it.
I don't think we're talking anymore.
Because she, I described her.
I described her!
I didn't say her.
I said, no, I'm looking at this one.
This one, you see the way she's acting?
Her frame of reference, her modality of praise is not about accomplishment or ideas or ideology or activism.
No, it's how she looks.
This is it.
This is her whole world.
I don't want to deal with this.
This is somebody I do not want to know.
That's it.
This one over here.
He's interested in the process.
This one over here is somebody who at least cares about whatever.
This one over here doesn't.
Now, if you don't know that, I don't know what to tell you.
I see it all the time.
And maybe it's because it's a New York thing.
I don't know.
But there's something very, very sad about that.
I think we're done with this.
I think.
I hope we're on the back nine.
I hope it's over with.
But one of the worst things that ever That we ever did to insist upon the objectification of women and to destroy women is the beauty pageant.
Beauty pageant, cheerleading, homecoming queen, all that stuff.
The artificial elevation of somebody by virtue of just looks.
Objectification and looks.
You don't run for homecoming queen and say, who's the best?
At least you could say most, you know.
Dependable.
I don't know if you had this in high school.
I got class wit.
That was my thing.
I was very proud of that.
At least it's something I can point to.
It was all male.
All guys.
We didn't have handsome or anything like that.
When they did this, when I saw this, even then I thought, this is not good.
We're voting on who is the most attractive?
Well, you know, captain of the football team, I don't really know what that means, but there's some degree of athleticism, maybe involved in that, but this is when things are really good, and it always was that way.
It was like that since Burt Parks and Miss America.
Objectification.
Have you ever seen, by the way, Miss America?
I hope, thank God they stopped doing it.
And by the way, they did this with little kids.
JonBenét Ramsey is disgusting.
Disgusting.
Disgusting.
To objectify children at a little age like that?
No, it's not.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
And YouTube, Instagram, oh my god, do we, oh god.
Getting into this more.
More and more and more and more and more.
Now, I hope I haven't hurt anybody's feelings.
Because here is the sad part.
I cannot believe that of the two, I know this sounds like I'm being very gratuitous, but I'm not.
Of the two classic genders, male and female, women are, by definition, mathematically, superior.
Superior.
Not in terms of being gregarious, maybe not socially, but in terms of the fact that God or nature gave them, you are going to be The bearer of children.
Buy and learn.
And you are going to enjoy a certain status, a certain certain propensities, certain biases, loyalty.
But you're also going to have to be, because you are...
I've been going into this, and I've come up with my theories about why sometimes.
You know and I know this.
Let me ask you a question.
Let's assume you've got a husband and wife.
The wife is going to throw her husband a surprise party.
And she says, and she calls up the husband's, let's say, best friend.
It says, Dave, I want to throw a surprise party for Jerry.
Give me a list of all his buddies, friends, pals.
Acquaintances.
Good pals.
List could be, I don't know, 100 people.
A husband says, I want to throw a birthday party for my wife.
Goes to the wife's best friend.
Give me a list of her close friends, pals, buddies, associates.
What would the number be?
What would the number be?
Men, how many friends do you have?
How many friends do you really like?
You can say, that's my pal, that's my buddy.
How many?
Roughly.
I mean, I don't want to get into this idea of that.
But if you walked into people you've known from school that you've kept friends with, people that you work with, neighbors, people you play golf with, whatever it is, pal, people you get along with.
What's the difference?
How many?
How many would you have?
I would have, I can't even count them.
I can't even count them.
I don't know the number.
A hundred?
Two?
I have no idea.
A lot.
A lot.
So let me ask you a question.
And they may be shallow.
They may be base.
They may be whatever it is.
How many do you think?
Men compared to women.
How many close friends do women have?
Do they have a girlfriend?
How many?
I don't mean just acquaintances.
I mean really.
Now, I know the answer.
I think you know the answer.
And there are people who are going to say, no, you don't understand.
I'm different.
I've got, oh, okay.
And I'm sure they're honest.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is, I work for a commercial bank.
Okay.
That's very scary.
Look at this.
At 75, not many left.
That's true.
I think the two differences are fabulous.
Look at this one.
The girls' friends are gay men.
Why do you think gay men, and this is true, get along with women so well?
I heard this one time, very interesting, a long time ago.
I had a...
I had a friend of mine who was a hairdresser.
Married, straight, but he lived in a...
It's two people I learned.
He worked with gay men.
And I said, let's assume because people were talking about being gay and you could be, you know, trans.
I said, okay, I want to be gay one day.
I don't want to have sex with anybody, but I want to be gay.
What do I do?
And somebody said, well...
My friend, the hairdresser, said, well, first thing I've noticed is you dress well.
Gay people dress well.
There was a guy yesterday, we were walking down, I guess Broadway, Upper West Side, and he walked up and said, gay guy.
No, no, it wasn't.
Didn't do anything wrong.
Gay guy.
The way he wasn't doing anything different, but I knew right away.
Gay.
The way the clothes, just certain posture, attitude, whatever it was, gay.
Nothing wrong with that?
Gay.
My friend says, clothes.
Now my other friend, I've known him for years, gay.
And he said something to me which was the most interesting.
He said, Men, straight men, should learn from gay men how to talk to women.
And he says something which is so profound.
He said, talk to a woman like her mother, not her father.
Your father would say to you, what's the matter?
I'm going to say, what are you crying about?
What happened?
You know, get to the bottom line.
And I'm being very general, I realize that.
And the mother would say, what's the matter?
How did you feel?
How do you feel now?
And what did you feel like then?
And what did you feel?
And what did he say then?
What did you say?
Again, it's very, very...
Men are very, very superficial.
What happened?
Bottom line.
Who did right?
Who was right?
Who was wrong?
You know, that kind of thing.
Women are former into the feelings.
To the feelings.
How did you feel?
Did that embarrass you?
Did that anger you?
Not what happened, but tell me the emotional...
Tell me the...
Tell me kind of what you think that means.
It's fascinating.
And it's absolutely the God's honest truth.
When I...
There's two things I will never...
I hate doing.
I hate.
But you have to do them.
One, you know, you get a haircut or whatever it is.
And I listen.
One time, because I normally put on headphones because I can't stand the music.
The music is always the worst music anybody, because I'm always trying to convey this idea that they're, you know, international.
It's complete bullshit.
So I normally have headphones in.
But one time I did and it didn't work.
And I got the chance and I'm listening.
And something happens to women.
I'm sorry.
And men too.
Men too.
But most of them were men at this place.
And they sit in that chair and they look at themselves.
And they are in heaven.
Why?
They're looking at themselves.
They have a reason that they've never looked at themselves for that long in whatever.
When was the last time you sat in front of a mirror?
Because you're looking at them and somebody's doing this and you're looking at yourself.
Most people are looking down.
They're looking up.
They're looking.
They are looking.
Not that they love themselves.
They know themselves.
They're familiar with themselves.
That's not some strange person.
That's their best friend.
That's them.
They.
That is they.
They is that.
And I'm listening to this, and I'm thinking to myself, first of all, they don't know anybody.
I say, would you shut up?
No.
No.
They forget where they are.
There's something trans that's happening.
You're in this chair.
You're looking.
You're looking at yourself.
And it's your favorite thing in the world.
You.
And you're very familiar with that.
And you're just talking.
And then my husband, we're going to go to this.
And we're going to go to this.
We love Mykonos.
We're going to go to the Greek islands.
And then we're going to go to what's happening.
And my son, what's happening?
My son's getting married.
And then, you know, I don't know.
His wife's okay.
And the hair person, mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's half of the battle.
The hair person does a decent job.
But it's this talking.
Men who, you don't really see that many, it's hard to say, like versus a barbershop.
Now the black barbershop, different story.
Collegial, fixture, historic.
But it's one of the most interesting things you have ever seen.
Yesterday in the Upper West Side, there's a little...
There's a salon place for little kids.
Nothing but little kids.
Kids aren't saying a word.
I thought you'll change.
It's fascinating.
Fascinating.
And if you think, ladies and gentlemen, if you think that I'm over...
I understand what people say.
I say things about men.
I'm not of this category that I speak of.
I say things about women.
Mrs. L is not.
Sometimes I am, sometimes she is.
It just depends.
But here's the thing.
You can always tell when somebody thinks you're, when you've hit a nerve, because they get upset.
They get upset.
They don't say, well, I can understand why you're saying that.
No.
You only take flack when you're over the target.
That's why whenever you say anything, either about anything, Whether it's about COVID, whether it's about conspiracies, or whatever they call it, they will do everything they can to shut you up and move you around, move you away.
Just stop saying this, because you're right.
And there's always something that says, have you ever heard somebody, my favorite, you ever heard somebody who talks about astrology, or you're a Sagittarius?
Well, the Sagittarius are very loyal.
They're very loyal people.
And they're okay.
Don't cross the Sagittarius.
I mean, they're not mean people, but they respect their friends, and they absolutely will never forget people that hurt.
Not only them, but people that they love.
They're very loyal people.
And they're so loyal, and they think about other people too much that they tend to be very, very critical, very self-critical.
See what I just said?
I would say that to you.
No matter who you are.
I have done cold reading in my life.
What are you?
I'm a Pisces.
Oh, Pisces.
Pisces, you're very loyal.
And I just say whatever I think you want to hear.
You've been hurt before because you've trusted people so much.
And you're out of position in your life when you're saying, do I lose that trust?
Do I become tougher?
But then again, that's not who I am.
I'm not mean, but I trust too much.
I leave with my chin, and I've got to be better about that.
I've got a strong sense of commitment and a recognizing people, people who share.
And I say what you want to hear.
And the people say, that's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Now, if you really want to get into it, if you really want to get into it, you want to read somebody fast, look at one of the ones I talked about.
Look at the ex-beauty queen, okay?
What do you tell her?
Oh.
*sad music*
People don't know really who you are.
People sometimes are very surprised at how down to earth you are.
Down to earth is a big term.
It's a big term.
People are very surprised at how down to earth you are.
How normal you are.
How genuine you are.
And you don't know why that surprises people, but that's the way you are.
You're very loyal, but you're guarded.
And you understand that you don't really want to, you don't fit in, but you do.
It's not that you have a hard time making friends, it's that sometimes people have a hard time giving you a chance.
What am I saying parenthetically?
You're so beautiful that people are jealous of you and that you can't get it because they take one look at you and they are so agog by your beauty they don't know what to do.
No, I didn't say that.
I said it like this.
People sometimes will misread you.
Oh, yeah.
Because they won't tell you.
That's exact.
Go with the first one.
You were right the first one.
I can't say that because you'll feel funny if I said that.
Have you ever met somebody who all of a sudden speaks in a way that is not the usual, I'm going to say it, somebody who sounds, somebody who sounds Southern, somebody who sounds white, somebody who sounds old, somebody who sounds young, somebody who sounds different than they are.
I have a friend of mine whose wife, Black, quote, Doesn't sound black.
She sounds like Jean Kirkpatrick.
And I know people are going to say that's ridiculous.
Black people don't sound...
Okay, you're right.
You're right.
I understand that.
But let me tell you what happens.
She will tell you.
She has met people and she's in the phone business.
She has met people and nobody calls up and says, hi, my name is...
And she calls up and says, oh!
Oh, Marlene, how are you?
Fine.
They know immediately the name.
But nobody says, oh, by the way, I'm black.
I'm white.
Oh, okay.
And she one time, she cannot tell me the number of times she has finally met somebody.
They meet, they're whatever it goes.
And somebody else says, hi, Jenny, I'm Marlene.
And you get stabbed.
Not hatred.
Not hatred.
But it's the truth.
It's a fact.
She'll tell you.
It happens.
And people say, oh no.
No, no, no.
That happened.
Why do you think that is?
We can talk about that some other time.
I want to know the truth.
I don't care why things are.
I don't care.
I don't care.
It doesn't matter.
We'll talk about people who are extremely overweight.
How society will pigeonhole you.
Oh, you're a slob.
You don't understand anything about me, do you?
You're a slob, aren't you?
Here's one for you.
Nobody will ever, ever, ever, ever, ever knows what left-handed people go through.
Oh, you're left-handed.
Sinister.
Mark of the devil.
It's terrible to say that.
Left-handed people.
Now what I want to talk about, unfortunately, is something that people do not want to talk about because it's the truth.
It's the The absolute truth.
And the truth is what is interesting.
And when you figure out yourself, and you look at your life, and you look at who you are, not anybody else, you.
You better speak to the truth.
Be careful who you are.
Oh, oh.
Never tell people your secrets.
Never tell people...
Be very careful.
Guard your privacy.
With everything you have.
Do not risk it with anyone.
There is no need for people to know everything about you.
Don't do that.
Some people are very, very trusting.
Don't be trusting.
Bad move.
Bad move.
Don't do it.
Understand that?
And don't forget, do what I do.
When somebody asks you, what sign are you?
Oh, I'm a Sagittarius.
I'm a Libra.
What are you?
I'm feces.
Oh, they don't even listen.
They don't listen.
Feces.
You have no idea.
They're not even listening to me.
They're not listening.
It's like that great line from the movie Roxanne where you're toasting.
You know what?
I'd rather be with you people.
Than the finest people in the world.
And I mean that.
Thank you very much.
They didn't even listen to you.
Alright, that's enough.
Now I hope everybody's fine.
I hope nobody got offended.
And by the way, if you got offended, I don't know why I never mention anybody's name.
Not talking about you.
Okay?
But it's interesting how people get offended.
Because when you hit a nerve, you only take flack.
When you're over the target.
And today, my dear friends, Cobbs, thank you.
You are our favorite viewer today.
You.
Of course, you donated to the cause, which is probably why you're the favorite person of the day.
And I'm going to thank you, Cobbs.
Thank you.
Very, very simple how this thing works.
All right, dear friends, have a great and glorious day.
See you tonight at 7. This is weird.
Okay.
Anyway, I'll end with this.
Oh, there we go.
What the hell was that?
Very odd.
Very odd.
All right, my friends.
Have a great day.
See you tonight at 7. Don't forget the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
