Good day to your friend.
Welcome to this.
This is our Thursday version of this thing of ours, our Monday soiree, our live stream.
Welcome.
Thank you for being a part of this.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for being a part of our family.
We are so glad you are here today.
Got a lot to talk about.
Specifically, today becomes day three of the Trump trial.
Remember, Wednesdays are off for a different reason.
It was suggested, it was posited, that one of the reasons why they have church on Friday.
Versus day off, normally Fridays are day off, was to eliminate Orthodox Jews as being possible.
Now this was being suggested by I don't know who.
I don't want to suggest whom I think it was, but it's just proven stupid.
We're going to be talking about this.
But let me ask you a favor.
First, Do not, do not expect me to necessarily vouch for, endorse, ratify, and speak positively to everything that you believe.
It may be different.
I'm only going to tell you what I believe is to be true.
Most of the time, we're 100% on the same page.
But when it comes to reality, When it comes to courts, especially, I'm going to tell you, this is the way it is.
This is it.
This is it.
Not what I want it to be.
Not the way it should be.
But this is the way it is.
So, dear friends, please, thank you.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Please make sure you are subscribed to Lionel Nation.
Make sure.
For reasons I shan't understand.
For reasons I shan't understand, sometimes you're unsubscribed.
You're also having a hard time with super chats.
A dear friend of mine yesterday sent me screenshots of, for some reason, I don't understand this.
I have no idea.
We also have, for your edification, perusal, and review, alternative means of contribution, if you like.
So I don't know what to tell you.
I can't see any of...
This, that happened.
So please, make sure you're subscribed.
Make sure you hit the button.
Make sure you are absolutely spot on in terms of liking the videos.
We have to do this preparatory stuff.
But before we begin, I'm going to say very, very quickly, very, very quickly.
My friends, your response has been overwhelming to my Patriot Supply through preparewithlionel.com.
And because I don't have to tell you the necessity of...
of emergency food.
Now, look at this.
I don't care what you have in your larder.
I don't care what you have in your cupboard.
I don't care what you think you have.
You are not going to be able to come up with this for four weeks, six months, 90 days.
You cannot do this.
Go to preparewithlionel.com and start building up your emergency food storehouse.
That's it.
That's all.
It's simple.
PrepareWithLionel.com I don't have to, I'm not going to insult your intelligence by telling you why emergency food makes sense, okay?
Did you see the other day, what was it, Dubai?
Did you see all the rain?
Did you see that before we began?
Did you see the Dubai rain?
Did you see that?
Did you see the rain?
This incredible...
Did you see that?
Thank you.
Did you see that?
What do you think that was?
What do you think the cause of this incredible rain was?
What do you think it was?
Anybody?
Anybody?
Any clue as to what you think that might be?
Any clue as to what you think it might be?
What possibly could have been responsible for that rain?
Well, you know what it is?
It's what they say it's not.
They say, oh, it's not cloud seeding.
What's cloud seeding?
Geoengineering.
They've been cloud seeding since Operation Popeye in the Vietnam War.
Who's been telling you about geoengineering since the beginning of time?
Who?
Remember what they do.
They deny it, and then they say, oh yeah, we do it.
Oh yeah.
Geoengineeringwatch.org.
Check out a good friend, Dane Wigington.
Just read it.
I've been talking about this forever.
It's a no-brainer.
All the stuff they've been spraying, come on, it's not.
Cloud seeding is one thing.
The other aspect, of course, is solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal.
Those are the other reasons for it.
I'm not going to try to give you a two-hour lecture in five minutes, but just remember something.
As I have been telling you, since the beginning of time, this is what it is.
And then they're going to turn around and say, oh yeah, that's right, well, yeah, we do that.
But you said before you didn't.
Yeah, I know.
But wait a minute, but why did you lie about this?
I don't know.
Get that out of the way.
Now let's talk about Trump on trial.
I don't understand why people like how they do a good job.
You know the Dershowitz's and Andy McCarthy I think is probably the best.
I like him.
Turley is good, but Turley is a contributor to Fox News.
Turley is never going to give them anything.
That is not commensurate with the Fox News message.
Fox News is just falling apart.
That morning show, when I tell you I listened to 30 seconds of it, it is...
I don't know where they got these nincompoops from.
I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you.
I do not know.
I'm not going to go through it again, but listen, if that's what you want to do, let me explain something.
Nobody cares about this NPR story.
Gee, they have a liberal editor.
Wow, imagine that.
That's a story?
No, but that's what everybody else, that's what the collective thinks is.
It's not interesting.
We knew that.
Okay, fine, move on.
Now let's talk about the Trump trial.
Is Trump going to be convicted?
Yeah.
of something, unless they maneuver something out.
This is the part that I don't understand.
This is...
I told you yesterday.
Anybody who has an opinion, did you read the indictment?
Yeah.
That's the indictment?
Yeah.
That's what he's charged with here.
Why do you think he's going to be acquitted?
Well, because Dershowitz said it was a stupid...
Dershowitz said they're going to find him guilty.
Well...
It's a stupid case.
Maybe.
But why are they going to find him not guilty?
Well, no.
I think it's terrible.
I told everybody, read the indictment.
I gave you the link a million times.
Count one.
You as a jury.
Did the people, did the state of New York prove that the defendant in the county of New York, or elsewhere, on or about February the 14th, with the intent to defraud and to commit another crime?
Now, that is where you can hang and not guilty on.
Did they prove the intent to defraud?
Defraud whom?
And the intent to commit another crime and aid, conceal, aid and conceal the commission thereof.
So that's what you're going to work with.
Made and caused a false entry.
Well, it's not false entry.
It's a real entry.
In the business records of an enterprise, it wasn't a business enterprise.
To win an invoice from, it wasn't an invoice.
Mark, there's a record.
So you've got to go through and negate these.
This is count one.
There's 34 counts.
Let me say this again.
In order to be found not guilty, you have to either negate those or show, allege, that the state, that New York, did not prove them.
That the state did not prove there was an intent to defraud.
That the state did not prove, or there's a reasonable doubt whether they intended to prove another crime or something.
You could show that there was reasonable doubt that there was any efforts to conceal the commission of that crime.
That it was, there's a reasonable doubt that it was a false entry.
There's a lot to go through.
34 of those.
34. If you can...
If you can...
Remember, it's all or nothing.
You can't say, well...
Well, you know, a second thought.
If you have 34 counts, you might say, you know what?
That's 17, not guilty.
18's good.
This is what scares me.
This is the part that I am the most frightened of.
It's the vagueness.
It's the multitude.
This judge hates Trump from what we've seen.
Now, I'm violating one rule, which I've always said.
I'm telling you right off the bat.
I've told you from the beginning.
I...
Oh, Xzorter, thank you so much.
Thank you so much, X. Appreciate that.
For your super sticker status.
Thank you for that.
Now, the other night, there was a big deal.
People were saying this, and I thought it was great, too.
They said...
Trump was in Harlem, and he was there visiting the site where this Dominican man, who was the store owner, or store worker at least, to clerk, was basically charged, at least initially, with murder because he defended himself, because some guy came in and tried to rob him.
And they said, isn't it great?
Isn't it great that Trump went to Harlem?
I said, absolutely.
Isn't it great?
Did you see it?
Did you see this?
Did you see it?
Isn't it great that he went to Harlem?
It's fantastic that he went to Harlem.
I said, there's only one thing yet.
Where are the black people in this picture?
Because that's the story.
The story is that they went to Harlem.
Now, for most people who don't know, Harlem is not necessarily...
It's historically black, but when you say Harlem today, especially among people who don't know New York, what they mean is, look how he is so loved among the black community in Harlem.
Look at the people waiting there.
What do you see?
Does that make a difference?
No.
But that's not what people told you.
That's not what people said.
That's not the way it was portrayed.
So now that we got the jury selection out of the way, let's see what happens.
Can Trump get a jury trial that's fair?
I don't even know what that means.
What does that mean, fair?
I still don't know what it means.
A fair trial with a lousy charge?
A fair jury with a lousy charge?
A great jury?
The jury may say, well, they proved it.
I want to see what the jury instructions look like.
That's what I told you is the most important.
The jury instructions.
The jury instructions.
How are they going to define?
What does it mean?
Intent to defraud.
What does that mean?
Write it out.
Give the defense something to say.
Something to hang on to.
Something to show.
Something to prove.
Something to negate.
Something to say.
You know what?
Now, I want to tell you about another thing, too, which is, and we'll get back to this in a moment.
Yesterday, everybody's going berserk over the fact that at Columbia University, there's anti-Semitism.
Elise Stefanik had the president of Columbia.
What's your take on that?
Did you notice a couple of things here?
Is that a good deal?
Are you happy about that?
Is that it?
We've got to stop anti-Semitism.
Anti-Semitism is wrong, right?
Of course it's wrong.
Is racism wrong?
Absolutely.
Transphobia?
Absolutely is it wrong.
Hate?
Hate's wrong, too.
Hate's wrong.
Hate's wrong.
Yeah, yeah.
Right?
And he had a congressional hearing.
A congressional hearing for the President of Columbia to come forward and say, are you allowing anti-Semitism on campus?
Did they ever have one before for racism?
No.
This is anti-Semitism.
Do you allow anti-Semitism?
Do you?
Now let me Go on the record and say that I am against anti-Semitism.
But we have a problem with, not with the anti-Semitic, but the anti-semantic.
Because what we're dealing with right now is people who are for the first time talking about and blurring and obscuring a thought with activity.
Let me give you an example of something.
This is Columbia University.
Now, all of a sudden, it seems like in the world, there are two events that happened.
October the 7th and April the 13th.
October the 7th was, of course, the attack of Hamas, and April the 13th was the Iranian drones into Israel.
Those two days are being talked about.
Fine.
There are other days, but those are certainly worth our discussion.
Now, let me ask you something.
Did any of these people like Elise Stefanik and others care about the number of universities, medical school universities, who had transgender surgery clinics, who took I don't know how many kids and mutilated them, castrated them, chemically castrated them, destroyed, blocked puberty?
Open and notorious.
Come on in to our university.
Anybody?
Did you hear any screaming about that?
No.
Did you ever hear about any kind of weird, crazy BLM, kind of some Afrocentric studies professor who might have said death to the white man or whatever it is?
Oh, that's happened.
Anybody?
No.
During BLM, anybody ever talk about that?
No.
Anybody ever hearing on maybe People who wanted to advance the case, maybe they had a claim, maybe they believed that forced, let's say, vaccinations or something were against.
The Supreme Court has yet released a rule on that.
But was there any discussion on that one?
No.
No.
No interest.
No interest.
Not even a discussion.
None.
When Trump students are made to feel weird because they wear a MAGA hat, is there?
No.
When people couldn't go to various universities, like, I don't know why you'd want to, but if it was, let's say, Ben Shapiro or Charlie Kirk or Ann Coulter, and they were rushed out and they fled for the fear of their life, any discussion on that?
Did Elise Stefanik talk about that?
No.
Did anybody talk about Nick Sandman?
Remember him?
He had a MAGA hat and he was on a school joint.
That was different.
He was out in the public.
Any concern about him?
No.
Here's one for you.
If I told you a name, you'll never know this.
Emma Sulkowicz.
S-U-L-K-O-W-I-C-Z.
You know who she is?
New Yorkers know.
This is Mattress Girl.
This is in 2012.
In Colombian.
This is a woman who went after a guy named Paul Nungesser.
And she claims she was a victim of rape.
She also was this performance artist who walked around all the time with this 50-pound mattress.
She wore it to her graduation.
Kirsten Gillibrand, the senator from New York, invited her to the State of the Union Address, I think, in 2014.
Ran this man, made this man's life a living hell.
He won.
He sued Columbia.
They settled.
They just absolutely abandoned him.
This woman had a vendetta.
She was all over.
She made this man's life a living hell.
Did Elise Stefanik or anybody, I don't know if she was an officer, anybody care about that?
No.
This was Columbia University.
No, nobody cares about that.
Nobody cares about that.
Nothing.
Nobody.
Black radicals, gay radicals.
What about MAGA and Trump?
People are called rapists and anti-nationalists.
No.
How about people who we used to laugh at, who used to say these people with their trigger warnings and their Their microaggressions would scream and yell and cry about, you know, history.
Sometimes people couldn't even hear history because it bothered them so much.
Nobody had any hearings about that.
Nobody said, did you cancel classes?
Did you cancel courses?
Because somebody decided to stand up and because of an alleged microaggression, did you ever do anything along those lines?
No.
You never did anything about that?
Why didn't you do anything?
Why didn't you say anything?
No.
Nobody ever said this.
But now we have this.
Now let me go on the record again and say, unequivocally, anti-Semitism is wrong.
But how do you define that specifically?
And if somebody were at Columbia University, which, by the way, had one of the most famous in the 60s, oh my God, the Vietnam era.
Remember when they took over the president's office?
This is where free speech is supposed to be.
If any place else, Columbia University.
Okay.
Now, I'm not one, never been one, to be a protester.
I just never.
They're okay.
It's alright.
But I believe in speaking your mind.
But I don't really understand how people...
I think sometimes there is a movement here.
Now, this is a weird balance.
There are people who say, you know what?
You might have had a chance.
You might have had a chance.
You were on your way to something when you talk about what's going on in Gaza.
But when you say death to America, death to Israel, you lose me.
You lose me.
I don't know why you're doing that.
I don't know why you think.
Maybe you think it's cool.
Maybe you enjoy the...
The protest so much that you kind of lose your mind.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
But either way, you lose me on that one.
You lose me on that one.
So we have that.
And then there are other people who say that there are professors who spout anti-Israel thoughts.
Well, excuse me.
Did you ever fire anybody who Who provided, who had anti-Ukrainian thoughts?
Or pro-Putin?
I don't think so.
But you could have.
Why is this different?
Why is this different?
You don't think Russian students felt weird during the Ukrainian thing?
So I don't understand.
I understand the thought.
I agree.
Anti-Semitism and all these thoughts are wrong.
I understand that.
Absolutely.
But I don't understand why all of a sudden, this particular speech at this university, at this time, this has to be stopped.
And we're going to bring you in.
We're going to bring you into Washington.
And the reason is because Elise Stefanik is on a roll because they went after Claudine Gay, who was perfect.
She looked weird.
She looked like RuPaul or something and just screamed freak.
And her name, she's married as children, I think, but her name gay, I mean, it was the other two, the Brown University and MIT president, somebody cared about.
So this was such a, this was so great because we had to get to the bottom of this.
But everything that I mentioned to you before, nobody's interested in that.
Nobody.
Nobody.
You think there's any Trump people who might say, you know, I wasn't really, nobody cared about me.
Ah, shut up, you're Trump.
You think Elise Stefanik would say, wait a minute.
What exactly can you say?
Are you saying that a professor cannot espouse pro-Palestinian or, as you say, anti-Israeli?
Would you mind if a professor were anti-Putin, anti-Russia?
Would you mind that?
When Stephen was at Kotkin at Princeton, he's very anti-Russian.
Nobody's firing him.
I'm surprised Mearsheimer gets away with what he's done.
So what are you suggesting?
See, I don't even care.
It doesn't matter.
When I hear, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're telling a college professor you can't say something?
Now, first and foremost, first and foremost, you have got to also worry as much about children As you do the children at universities.
We don't care about our border.
We don't care about kids.
Forget being snatched.
Our kids being held hostage, their minds ravaged by online, by digital unsafe practices.
We don't care about them.
How many kids, how many kids lost their fertility, their sexuality, who remain incontinent?
Do you know what a sex change operation is?
You can call it whatever you want.
Sex affirming.
Does anybody talk about that?
No.
But we're talking about some guy wearing a keffiyeh, whatever, who says pro-Palestinian.
That?
I gotta worry about that?
These are college students.
If a professor says that, okay.
So what?
You got this other professor who hates white people.
You got another guy who's walking around in a dress saying that gender doesn't exist.
That's okay.
All right.
I don't think they should be banned from that at all either.
What's so different about this?
What?
Why this?
But see, nobody's going to be asking this.
Nobody cares about this because the First Amendment is one of these...
Yeah, well, that's kind of a...
You know, that's whatever.
Now, let me remind you of something.
And this is real critical.
We have 201 days.
We're getting close to the under 200 days limit.
Do you know what that means?
And I know, I know a lot of people say, oh, Trump's going to do great.
Really?
Oh, no.
They can't steal it again, legally?
Is that what you're saying?
No.
Why are you saying that?
Well, the polling, his polling did great before.
What are you talking about?
See, I don't understand.
I think, I think what happens is, we have people, especially in mainstream media, who just They're in power just to make you feel good.
Just to make you feel like, hey, here's something that'll make you feel happy.
Trump's doing great.
Okay.
To make it sound like Trump can't be convicted of this, he's going to be convicted of this.
It's nothing, really, for a first time offense.
Trump's also, he wants a contempt.
Citation more than anything.
He is dying for this.
He wants to be in jail.
He wants to be...
He's telling this Judge Mershon, I dare you.
Put me in Rikers.
I will be...
Because he thinks, and he might be right, I'm going to be...
I'm going to enjoy a status the likes of which we cannot...
Possibly, possibly understand.
And he's going to get it.
He's going to get his way.
I'm telling you.
And people are under this, people believe, this is weird too, they say, people will, his numbers go up.
Are you saying people are going to vote for him because he, I'm sorry, because he is arrested or won't?
Well, what are you suggesting?
Well, I'm just saying, I don't understand this.
See, we say these things over and over and we just say these things and we are this group, not us, but I guess the right wing and they just repeat these things.
And they don't stop and say, wait a minute, what exactly are you talking about?
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm going to say this One more time.
I'm not going to be able to sleep or to rest until I see Trump sworn in.
I can't say that any more than what I've said.
I am not going to sleep to rest until I see him sworn in and then it's going to be a disaster.
It's going to be a nightmare.
And everything that I'm seeing From what little I can read of the usual suspects is this idea that that everything's great.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think most Americans, right or left, care about what's happening in Israel and Gaza?
Or Ukraine, for that matter?
Do you think so?
Do any of you believe, seriously, that America cares about that?
Do you?
Do you think America right now, that this is a concern?
We've got to get to this.
We've got to make sure that Hamas and Iranian...
Do you think so?
Anybody?
You really think so?
Do you think American...
Americans say, I don't care about inflation, the economy, crime, The border.
Anything.
Nothing.
Nothing.
We've got to make sure that we've got to get something done.
Nobody cares about that.
Nobody can find it on a map.
Americans have been so conditioned to it always being a problem.
There's always something.
They can't tell you what's the difference between Gaza and the West Bank, East Jerusalem.
I don't know.
The Palestinian Authority versus Hamas.
I don't know.
The Houthis?
Oh yeah, that's...
Houthis?
Isn't that in Africa?
Oh, is it a Houthi?
Is this different?
Oh.
Americans don't know about that.
Americans don't care about that.
They don't care at all about that.
Do you think Americans cared about Claudine Gay and her plagiarism scandal at Harvard?
No.
Do you think anybody cares that we cannot allow...
This anti-Semitic speech at Columbia University?
What?
No, they don't care about that.
It's not that they advocate it.
They don't care about it.
They're not losing their sleep over it.
This is the most important thing in the world.
Is LeBron a Jewish or Italian surname?
Ask Mr. James.
He'll tell you.
I believe it's French.
Libreux.
If that matters.
If that matters.
But this is the thing which I find to be so fascinating.
How do people actually find themselves?
Thinking how this is going to pan out ultimately in the elections.
Do you think they care about that?
Let me tell you right now what's interesting.
Americans don't care about kids either.
I've never seen them like it.
You have no earthly idea what is happening regarding children and how they have been victimized and how they have been targeted by so many people.
You have no idea.
And nothing matters.
Is Elise Stefanik having anything about that?
No.
Is Zuckerberg back?
No.
No.
Nobody cares about that.
Nobody cares about that.
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
And I'm also going to tell you something, another thing, which is a problem.
I cannot.
After we have just been through, everybody's screaming about cancel culture.
Dave Chappelle, Cat Williams, Jerry Seinfeld.
Jerry Seinfeld says, I'm not going to go to universities anymore.
Why?
Well, because these people are just so crazy and you can't.
Okay, fine.
I'm not going to go anymore.
And we've heard about this.
This one's cancelled.
That one's cancelled.
And you would think people would say, well, you know what?
No more of this cancelled culture, especially on college campuses, except this.
Now, again, anytime somebody feels unsafe, for whatever the reason, And remember, you can't laugh at one group and then turn around and say, yeah, but they were feeling weird.
Well, they were really afraid.
But we are afraid.
We really feel afraid.
Anybody else feel afraid?
What about the MAGA people?
Well, they don't feel afraid.
Not like we do.
Oh, you feel afraid.
You hear what's happening here?
This is the part that drives me crazy.
If you're going to say something, be consistent.
If you're going to mean something, mean it.
Mean it across the board to everybody.
Make a policy.
Either you can or can't say this.
If you sit there and you allow a university to find itself actually advocating sterilization, genital mutilation and castration, And sterilization of children.
Welcome to your university, your hospital.
This never got a hearing?
This but a professor?
Some introductory...
Oh, there was one...
What was his name?
He's a visiting scholar.
A Palestinian Middle East or whatever.
And queer studies?
Okay.
That got your attention?
That guy.
But not the mutilation of children?
I don't understand.
I don't understand any of this.
What is it that gets your attention?
What is it that makes you say, hey, I think we're going to stop our, just like that stupid Mayorkas, they wanted to impeach Mayorkas, they knew it wasn't going to happen.
And the Democrats said, screw you, we're going to dismiss it.
Let's move on.
And they're right.
This is not a high crime or misdemeanor.
This is what I'm trying to tell you, my friends.
They're wasting our times.
I want reality.
Let me stop for a second right now while everybody kind of regroups.
This is some rough stuff today, but let me tell you something.
Our country, we are losing our minds.
We are losing our minds.
But here's something important.
Our friends at MyPillow.com.
Promo code Lionel.
Well, it's time yet again to hail and salute our great friends at MyPillow.com.
And if you use promo code Lionel, you get a free gift.
No purchase necessary.
I know, I know, a free gift.
Gifts are free.
Okay, it's a tautology, so sue me.
But listen to me.

Did you see this, my friends?
Of course you saw this.
Google fires 28 employees involved in protest of the Israeli cloud contract.
The dismissals escalated, a long-standing tensions between company leaders and activist employees opposed to supplying technology to Israel's government.
Okay.
Is there any problem with any other protests that they might have had?
Anything else?
Now, a Google spokesman said that physically impeding other employees' work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies and a completely unacceptable behavior.
I agree 100%.
Years before the dismissals, tensions had been simmering between the company's management and some activist employees over Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion Google and Amazon deal.
To supply the Israeli government with cloud services, such as artificial intelligence.
Well, here's what you do.
If you don't like it, quit!
Quit!
You had a problem with it?
Quit!
You're going to tell Google, you can't do that.
Excuse me, can't do what?
You can't do that.
You're going to do this to Elon Musk?
Let's say Elon Musk is...
Has a payload or something on one of his rockets that benefits Israel?
What are you going to do?
Shut down this factory?
Listen, you can protest all you want.
Quit!
I don't understand that.
What do you think of somebody who shuts down traffic?
Shuts down impeachment?
First of all, there is nothing.
How this is going to help your cause?
I have no idea.
Hey, you know, I was pretty much on the fence about that Israeli-Palestinian thing.
But you know what?
By God, when I had to wait three hours and miss my flight, I'm going to give those Palestinians a shot.
I think they're on to something.
That's never happened once.
Please tell me how this works.
If you don't like something, quit.
You don't have a right to work at Google.
You can't tell Google what they can and can't do.
If you don't like it, leave.
And if you're going to block doors, you're going to be fired.
I don't understand where this is.
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I think there's a great part of me that thinks a lot of people just love to protest.
A lot of people really like to protest.
They like it.
Remember Black Lives Matter?
Well, that most of the time, that was just a cover form.
They're breaking in.
Remember the peaceful...
Remember all of that horror?
57th Street, all the fashion stores looted.
Isn't that something?
Isn't that something how retail theft always seems to accompany civil rights protestations to some group?
Isn't that something?
Isn't that something?
Fascinating.
I never understood it.
Let me ask you something.
What is the best way for me to explain to people If you wanted to advance to the United States people, the citizens, the plight of the Palestinians, what do you think would be the best way to do it?
Anybody?
What would be the best?
Thank you, Cheryl Callahan.
Everybody wants their 15 minutes.
What do you think is the best?
Liz, Cheryl, Peter, Django, what do you think would be the best?
Hillbilly, what would be the best way for you to tell people?
I want you to understand.
I told somebody the other day, I said, you know that the problem that people have, because most people say, you know, I don't know what's going on with this stuff.
You know, the problem a lot of people have is, you know, there's been about 35,000 Gazans.
That's like 10% of them.
Over 10%.
I said, what?
35,000.
35,000.
Now, they didn't even know this.
They didn't know this.
So what do you think the best way?
What do you think the best way to tell people?
Or if you say, well, let me explain to you what happened on October the 7th.
Let me tell you what Hamas did.
Let me tell you what we...
Whatever it is.
What do you think the best way?
What is the best way to get this across?
Tell me.
Is it to shut down traffic?
I don't think so.
Obstruct...
Thoroughfares?
I don't think so.
Or maybe, I don't know, call it crazy.
Explain?
Our friend White Monkey says, protests and looting in the streets is the current version of No Nukes concert in Battery Park.
Very interesting.
No Nukes, remember that?
The No Nukes, John, what's his name?
John from Orleans.
John, dance with me.
He was John Hall.
He was a congressman for one term.
Take all of your poison power away.
Have you ever heard that song?
Give me the warmth of the sun and the power of the waves and the geothermal this and that.
That's nice.
Windmills.
Windmills.
It's a great song.
You know what windmills do?
Do you really want to live in a world with windmills?
No.
I say it very simple.
Nukes.
Nuclear energy is...
Forget the Chernobyl.
Forget Three Mile Island.
Forget that.
It ain't gonna happen.
Okay?
But what's the best way to do it?
One time I had a friend of mine who, years ago, every day, or every year, they have the Gay Pride Parade.
And they were up and down the streets.
There was a 6 '4 guy on a unicycle with a tutu.
I said, tell me, what is this?
Raul Rodriguez says, can Trump go to his son's graduation?
He will.
Absolutely.
There is no way.
There might be even a statute that prevents it.
There is no way that this No judge is going to be that stupid to not allow Trump to see his son's graduation.
It's just not going to happen.
He said he may not, and that may not turn into he will not, but there is no way.
No way!
He should be taken out of the courtroom and taken to the rubber room if he would be that silly.
But thank you for that.
So I was asking a friend of mine, how does this help anybody?
How does anybody say, you know what?
I didn't really understand gay folks before.
I didn't really understand their plight or their message.
But seeing that 6 '4 hairy guy on a unicycle and a tutu, you know what?
I changed my mind.
To which my friend said, we don't really care what you think.
Well, I'm glad because you're not winning anybody over.
What do you think would have been the chance if Martin Luther King had been marching and basically said, F you, you white pigs!
How do you think the civil rights movement would have gone?
How do you think?
Do you think part of the demonstration is maybe kind of winning people over?
Maybe kind of letting them see?
I'm kind of old-fashioned.
Do you think that does any good?
Well, we don't care for you.
And I know, I know.
And it's good that you're...
And you're proud?
You're proud to be gay?
I sound like Norm MacDonald here.
I never understood that.
But are you proud to be straight?
Are you proud to be...
I don't even understand what that means.
I don't understand the whole, I'm proud to be French or I'm proud to be Italian.
You can't say I'm proud to be white.
Pride?
You had no say in this.
There's no accomplishment.
You just are who you are.
I'm proud to wear, I'm proud to need glasses.
What?
White Monkey says, I used to go to Halloween parade in the village.
That was a gay pride too.
No one cared.
That was, by the way, you are so right about that.
I don't even know if they still have it, but the Village Halloween Parade, dear God.
I went to a pizza joint the other day and it had kind of a Cajun theme to it and they had posters from They had posters from Mardi Gras, very smarty one.
And they had the Black Zulus and, you know, this and that.
I'm probably saying this wrong, but that was the name of it.
Now, that looks like a lot of fun.
Nobody has a problem with that.
But can you imagine that here in this country?
Because we love to be offended.
Oh my God, we love to be offended more than anything else.
So what I want you to do, my friends, I want you to just always question.
And you're doing a very good job.
Always question this.
Always ask yourself.
My job is, you see, I want people, I want to bring people to the Trump table.
In a way, I'm serious, I want to be an apostle.
And I told people, I've gotten more mileage.
I'll tell people, you know, I said Trump has had chemotherapy.
I know nobody likes it, but he can save the country because there's a cancer.
You know, I never looked at it like that.
I understand.
That's what I want to do.
I don't want to yell, well, you know what?
If you don't vote for Trump, you know what?
F you.
Wait a minute.
Hold this.
That's the way people are today.
That's this thing.
You don't like it?
No justice, no peace.
No justice, no peace.
Wait a minute.
Don't you want me?
No.
Sorry.
I've never understood that.
Somebody here told me, I think, was it, who told me this?
Was it Edie?
One of you, great, that your son, that your son actually changed his mind.
Heard me and changed.
It might have been Edie.
I don't remember.
Anyway, somebody said, I'm so honored by that.
Why change somebody's mind?
I thought, wow, that's interesting.
I've had my say.
You don't remember, you wouldn't know this, but when I was doing on WABC, I explained I was always in favor of the Supreme Court and the flag burning amendment.
I said, I think burning a flag is reprehensible.
It's horrible.
But it's speech.
I was doing a stand-up comedy place in West Orange called Rascals.
And across the street was this man in a van.
He had American flags protesting me.
And I walked across the street and I shook his hand and I said, let me tell you something.
I admire you here on a Saturday or Sunday, whatever the hell it was, to come out.
I said, do me a favor.
I said, if you'd like.
Please be my guest.
Come inside.
Have something to eat and drink on me.
You'll watch the truck?
Absolutely.
Please.
I believe in the First Amendment.
You believe in the First Amendment.
I said, and do you know what gives you the right to protest me?
Not the flag.
The Constitution.
And we became great friends.
And I wasn't yelling at the guy.
He wasn't yelling at me.
I appreciate it.
I'm serious.
Anybody?
I don't.
I don't care somebody thinking something different.
One of the funniest things was, I know we have a kind of a sort of a friend.
Well, and this girl said, I think the people of color.
I said, let me tell you something.
I said, I think people of color and whatever.
You're absolutely right.
I said, but let me tell you something.
One of these days, they're going to shit can you from some job and they're going to give it to somebody who is absolutely not qualified.
And that person will satisfy some quota.
And they're not going to tell you that.
But you'll know it to be true.
So just remember this.
Just remember what you're saying.
Because that's the way it works.
Guess what happens.
Alright, dear friends.
Have a great and a wonderful day.
And give that to you, my friends.
Please do me a favor.
Please, please, please, dear friends.
