Good evening, my dear friend.
Welcome to this, the Thursday, Thursday version of this thing of ours.
This is our...
Our evening version.
Did you know this?
Are you aware of this?
This is our evening version.
Our evening...
Is this dirty?
Let me just check for us in here.
I hate to be this.
So, this is terrible.
There's a certain degree of fuzz.
It looks a little better.
Yes, it looks a little better.
In any event, this is the Thursday evening of this thing of ours.
Let me remind you, dear friends, that it is 194 days until the election.
Let me say this again to you.
194 days until the election.
And we have no idea how frightening that is.
Apparently, when I say we, I mean we, I think sometimes Americans.
We're going to talk about that, but tonight we're going to spend a little time talking about Harvey Weinstein's conviction and a little bit about how that merges into sort of Alec Baldwin and what things mean and what they don't mean and how they are to be...
Oh, what's the word?
How they are to be reviewed.
So let me thank you, first of all, for being a part of this.
Let me thank you for being...
Here, every day.
Let me ask you, please, always subscribe, subscribe, subscribe.
So you'll always get the shorts and you'll get all this stuff.
So subscribe.
Subscribe, I say.
We have a lot to talk about.
And you will learn so much.
You'll always be able to pick up a few things along the way to turn to your friends to say, wait a minute.
I've heard that.
Let me ask this.
And your friends will say, where have you been listening at and to and on and for and with?
Well, that's the Lionel Nation show.
So we don't even thank you, my friends.
Please subscribe to the channel.
Please make sure you hit that little bell so you're notified of live streams and new videos.
It's so, so important.
So, so critical.
I mean that sincerely.
And as always, we have our sponsor.
You know, I was watching a show where this person was trying to sell something.
And it was for, it was like a VPN.
And it was very interesting.
I was watching some moment of it.
And you had two people.
One was very actively doing the work, obviously.
Probably landed the sale.
Thought, hey, we have a sponsor.
And the other one couldn't care less.
Showed no emotion.
And I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I know VPN stuff, you don't get excited.
Maybe there's a way to sell it.
But for the love of the client, try to find something.
That's why the story, the show, the product line that I love is preparewithlino.com.
Emergency food.
Emergency food.
At the time of disaster.
Now, if this doesn't sell itself, I don't know what does.
Let me tell you again.
Let me just say this.
Emergency food, as in riots, chain, breakdown, supply chain.
Do you remember a while back?
On one weekend, all of the gas stations were closed because of ransomware, and they never...
It's like, what the hell is a ransomware?
Remember the trucker strike?
Oh, yeah.
Remember yellow vests?
Oh, yeah.
They come, they go.
How about China owning every single bit of land?
Do you know what the World Economic Forum wants to do regarding food?
Ladies and gentlemen, please, for the love of God, I'm not exaggerating.
Prepare with Lionel.com.
This is the smartest thing you can do.
Let me say this again.
Emergency food.
Las comidas emergencia.
Me entiende?
Oíste?
Okay.
Please.
Prepare with Lionel.com.
Save $50 on a four-week emergency food kit.
Go right now and look for yourself.
I keep thinking of this other show.
Yeah, I got a VPN.
This is not a VPN!
Oops, wrong one.
Not that VPNs are great.
Nothing wrong with that.
But this is a little extreme in any event, my friends.
So anyway, thank you for that.
Now let's talk about some things.
Harvey Weinstein.
The second ugliest man on the face of the earth.
Harvey Weinstein.
Is disgusting.
Harvey Weinstein, you look at him, and he is what we call no jury appeal.
Jury appeal is one of those things that people swear, oh, that doesn't matter.
Oh, yes, it does.
Everything you say about Harvey Weinstein, people are going to say, you know what?
I believe it.
Harvey Weinstein squatted over, I believe it.
I'm not even done.
I believe it.
This woman claims, I believe it.
Why?
Look at him.
Harvey Weinstein is the worst looking person, second, on the planet.
Okay?
So that's number one.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Number two.
For some reason, The deep state, police state, shadow government doesn't want Harvey Weinstein around anymore.
Harvey Weinstein is of no use to them anymore.
If the shadow government wanted to protect Harvey, they would have said, oh, this is going nowhere.
Oh, this isn't going to be brought in New York.
No way.
Oh, no, no, no, no way.
After what you did for the Clintons?
No.
Pick up the phone.
Hello?
Cy Vance?
Alvin Bragg?
No!
No!
Just like they said, charge Trump.
I'll bring down Colangelo from FBI.
Do you think that courts are free and jurisprudence is fair?
It's a joke.
It's like some Stalinist-esque A horror show.
And I'm telling you right now, Donald Trump is going to be found guilty.
There is not one juror in New York who's going to sit there and say, well, I'm going to stand up and I'm going to vote to acquit on all 34 counts.
What?
They will be doxxed, run out of town, scared out of their mind, and browbeaten, and you know this person will come out and they'll know exactly who this person was.
Yes, Lamar Lipschitz, 283, East 84, forget it.
So let me just say this to you, there is no way.
No way!
Trump is going to be found guilty.
Oh, they might find him guilty of 17 out of the 34. They might have quit on 8 or 9. Doesn't matter.
And Judge Mershon, and some people have been making the fact that he was from Columbia.
I don't know anything about his background.
All I know is they're going to say, you know what to do, right, Juan?
I know what to do.
They will immediately try to remand Trump.
And send him to Rikers Island.
So he can say, I was the first one in the house bet.
There's a pool.
I was the first one to sentence him to jail.
Rikers is not a prison.
To jail.
Pending sentencing.
Upon which they will say, you can't do that because of the Secret Service.
Mershon won't care.
You figure it out.
I'll let you get a hold of whatever.
I don't know anything about that.
I don't hear anybody from the...
Is anybody from Homeland Security talking about this?
Anybody from the White House?
If I don't hear anything, that's it.
So Mershon will win the bet.
I was the first person to sentence Donald Trump to prison or to jail.
Do you hear this again?
Let me say this again.
Judge Merchant, Merchant, Merchant, Merchant, will be the first judge, and he cannot wait, because there's no other criminal case pending that could possibly do this.
He can say, I did it.
And Garand only had that lousy civil judgment with Letitia James, but I'm the guy who did it.
I'm the guy.
That's future federal judge Juan Mercia.
That's future governor.
Well, maybe not governor.
I am it.
I am it.
I lucked out.
This was a random.
I got the case by random.
It was just, you know, just a luck of the draw.
Future federal judge, Supreme Court.
I'm the guy.
I'm the hero.
I'm the first person to put Donald Trump in jail.
Now, if anybody wants to get in the way, don't look at me.
I did it.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do I make?
Do I make?
And they're going to find him guilty.
And this bullshit from everybody, God bless them.
Well, you know, this case doesn't even charge a crime.
This is ridiculous because the federal government refused to bring the charges either under...
Mm-hmm.
I sound like a diamond in silk.
Mm-hmm.
No, you don't understand.
This case is actually a misdemeanor.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah?
Anything else?
Well, this is ridiculous.
This is...
Mm-hmm.
Yeah?
Well, they bootstrapped it because basically the conspiracy they're claiming is an equivalent...
Mm-hmm.
And David Pecker is not.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Good.
It is hereby the judgment and order of the court that you be remanded immediately to the custody of the Department of Corrections for you to be immediately brought to Rikers Island pending.
I did it.
I win.
That's my Christmas bonus.
I won.
First one to do it gets the federal judgeship.
Ta-da!
That's it!
Get Schumer on the phone.
Get Schumer on the phone.
Next time there's an opening, there'll be an opening, plus with all these new...
If you think this is anything to do with fair, if you think there is the remotest, the remotest chance of any scintilla, any orange, any dram, any...
Any moment, an atom's worth of fairness and equity, you're out of your mind.
Donald Trump will be convicted of this.
Do you hear me?
You hear what I'm saying?
Let's make sure we understand this.
And we can have Jonathan Turley on all day long.
Dershowitz, all day long.
Andy McCarthy, the best.
All day long!
They can talk about this!
Oh my god!
Haven't you heard it?
Aren't you bored out of your mind?
Tell me again.
It's not a crime.
I understand it.
An NDA is not against the law.
Catch and kill is not against the law.
Okay.
Okay?
That's for that.
Number two.
Harvey Weinstein.
Harvey Weinstein, hideous Harvey, received the worst case, the worst trial ever.
Absolutely ever.
It's the worst.
And it was so incredible.
So Horrible.
What they did to him.
That I don't know how to explain it.
But I'm going to do my best.
I'm going to do my best.
And this is the most important for us to understand.
Okay?
Let me explain something to you.
Number one.
The people who themselves are victims of Harvey Weinstein do not care that he did not receive a fair trial.
I understand it.
They do not care that Harvey Weinstein did not receive a fair trial.
They want him convicted.
They want him convicted and they don't care.
Anything about what you have to say in this ridiculous notion of past...
Okay.
They want him convicted.
And what you're going to do is you're going to have today...
Some of the judges recused themselves because of Weinstein.
That's not going to be the usual group of judges, I do not believe, because this does not bode by any people who are saying, hey, this might help Trump.
Do you know how long this took?
People think like, oh, these appeals are great.
Don't overturn it on appeal.
Do you know how long this takes?
The years that go by?
Justice delayed is justice denied.
And what these people are saying, these women are saying is, I don't care about Harvey Weinstein's fair trial.
I don't care about due process.
I don't care about Harvey Weinstein.
Harvey Weinstein is a serial rapist.
He's a sex predator.
He's the worst.
I don't want to hear about that.
Yeah, but don't you care?
I do not.
He does not deserve due process.
This is what they're saying.
All this due process, fair trial, what about me?
What about me?
I don't care about him.
But don't you believe in the Constitution?
Nope.
Don't you believe in the notion of due process?
Nope.
You don't?
No.
Why?
Because it's me.
I don't care about this.
I don't blame anybody.
I don't think anybody's going to...
But let me tell you about Harvey Weinstein.
Now we get to the good stuff.
Harvey Weinstein, you know where it really gets interesting?
In L.A. A lot of those cases were the prior bad acts were based, and the evidence that was introduced was based on what happened in New York.
Let me see if I can explain this to you about Harvey Weinstein.
When you go to court, we like to talk about what you did now.
But every now and then, very rarely, you're supposed to be able to say, okay, we're going to introduce an issue.
Well, what do you mean?
Well, here's the problem.
We've got this guy.
Let's say we've got, as I told you, let's say we've got Lizzie Solak.
And Lizzie, we know she robbed the Chase Manhattan Bank on Park Avenue.
We know it was her.
We don't want.
Well, we got a picture.
But she has a very unique mask on, has a very unique weapon that she used, or that she brandished or threatened to use.
She had a unique phraseology and a unique accent.
And she did a number of things.
How she wrote out the note, how she presented it, even though we don't know who she was because she left and there was no positive identification.
I have five people.
Who said that Lizzie Solak committed bank robberies in the past just like this.
That's her M.O. We got a couple of co-defendants with her.
One who was there.
And we've got some prior convictions and maybe some not.
So we're going to introduce.
People say, yep, that's Lizzie.
All right.
That's what she does.
Does she wear the hat?
Yep.
Does she wear the gondolier helmet?
Yep.
That's Liz.
That's what she does.
See where that makes sense?
That's a prior better.
You mean she had prior bank robberies?
Oh yeah.
A shitload of them.
But the reason why we're introducing them is not to show you she's a bad person, not to show you that she commits crime, but to show you that in the case of identification, it makes sense.
Oh, okay.
But please don't let that affect your finding or guilty here.
Just because she's been convicted and been involved in eight prior bank robberies, please, that's not why we're doing this.
Wink, wink, got it?
That sort of makes sense.
Sort of makes sense.
But, that's not what they did with Harvey Weinstein.
Harvey Weinstein, they're not confused as to Harvey Weinstein.
Are you sure there was Harvey Weinstein?
I don't know.
He's so unique in the way he looks.
Well, that's true.
I don't know, because Harvey Weinstein, he had multiple phalluses.
There's nothing unique about this case at all.
Identification, MO, opportunity, none of that is required.
They wanted to do that to load up the bases, basically just say, this is a dirtbag who's done this before.
It's kind of what they did to Trump, didn't they?
Didn't they?
Yeah.
Then you got Rachel Maddow.
Rachel Maddow.
The biggest hypocrite has no soul.
Rachel Maddow.
No soul.
No heart.
No morals.
No intellectual consistency.
Rachel Maddow.
She said, what do you call this?
Checkbook justice.
Checkbook justice.
Yeah, this guy, David, this guy.
Pecker writes his checks and pays off people to shut them up.
And we hate that here at MSDNC.
Right, Rachel Maddow?
You sure do.
We hate that stuff.
Well, what about before when you knew all about Harvey Weinstein?
And you told Ronan Farrow to keep his mouth shut because you were afraid that Harvey Weinstein was going to lower the boom on Matt Lauer.
Everybody knew this, including that buzzer he had where we could lock the door.
Remember that?
You knew all about him.
Shall we go into things like, oh, I don't know, Bill Cosby?
Do people really want to know how folks in the industry keep things quiet?
How long did you keep Charlie Rose quiet?
Hell, I knew about Charlie Rose and I didn't even work at CBS.
Everybody knew about Charlie Rose.
Everybody knew this.
Rachel Maddow is a hypocrite of the first order, the first stripe.
No moral compass.
She actually read this and said, she didn't say, I can't read this.
We did the same thing!
You really expect me to sit here and say that we, MSDNC, we protected this son of a bitch before?
We killed Ronan Farrow.
That would have been a Pulitzer.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
He was going to be a Pulitzer, but you got rid of him because you wanted to protect Matt Lauer.
That was checkbook justice.
You did this.
These people are hypocrites.
And you know who else is hypocritical?
Half of Hollywood.
They should have come forward and said, hello, you listen to me.
Let's say somebody like, I don't know.
Hypothetically, not that I'm saying this happened, but Meryl Streep or Gwyneth Paltrow or somebody comes and goes, let me tell you something about Harvey Weinstein.
He delivers.
Yeah, I had to put out, so what?
It was disgusting.
I had nightmares of PTSD, but you know what?
I got an Oscar.
So did she.
So did he.
He delivers.
You got that?
And nobody made me do this.
Nobody made me do this.
Oh, it might have been weird at first, but there was nobody with a gun to my head.
Especially people going there at 10 o 'clock at night.
Now, I know you're not supposed to say this, and that doesn't excuse any kind of sexual activity.
But do not insult my intelligence.
When everybody knew that they knew what Harvey Weinstein was about.
Period.
He was a pervert and a sleaze and a scum.
One of many.
And he made movies.
And he won Oscars.
And he did the job.
And if you want to win an Oscar, you hang around him.
But beware.
And there are people who say, oh, do you know the ones who...
I don't want to mention the names, but if you're in the biz, you'll know.
The ones who were like Harvey's girls.
Oh yeah, and they came through.
This is the most disgusting business in the world.
Not only that, but music.
Diddy.
Just go down the list.
The sex party's there.
Epstein.
The whole place is filled.
You talk about covering things up.
Checkbook justice.
How about Epstein?
How about the fact that Epstein could bring down not only half of the Congress, but most, I don't know how many people in the world of, what am I trying to say?
The world of entertainment.
Dr. Murph, bless your heart, Dr. Murph.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are a kind and a most perspicacious friend of the show.
Thank you so much.
But here's what I want to know.
Harvey, yeah.
Who'd you piss off?
You're not a public enemy, number one.
You're not a public enemy, one.
You want to talk about sexual battery?
Tara Reid?
Mention that against Joe Biden, his son, Bill Clinton.
What did you do?
Harvey Weinstein could bury the Democratic Party.
Harvey Weinstein was like this.
I almost wasn't able to make that.
There we go.
This.
With the Clintons.
This.
Harvey Weinstein was the belle of the ball.
Why didn't they help Harvey?
Where'd this come from?
And you got your double teaming them in LA as well?
If you ran the place, like most of the time, the industry, they would say, hands off Harvey Weinstein.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Hands off Harvey Weinstein.
He ain't touching Harvey Weinstein.
Period.
But they didn't do that, Harvey.
Why?
Same thing with Alec Baldwin.
Why?
Why are they letting him hang out to dry?
I don't get it.
If that were Ron Howard, this, I guarantee you, all of a sudden overnight, hey, anybody seen Crackhead Barney?
No.
What happened to her?
I don't know.
Last I saw two guys in a black truck, panel truck came and I could have sworn I heard screaming and we haven't heard from her since.
Huh.
Well, did she claim anybody?
Yeah.
Was she making any accusations about anybody famous in Hollywood?
Yeah.
Let's say Scorsese, De Niro.
Oh, De Niro.
Oh, man.
Oh!
But anyway, Ron Howard.
What?
Hollywood would have been all over Ron.
You can't accuse Ron Howard of being negligent.
God, he's the best.
He's one of us.
Don't you understand what movies are?
Clint Eastwood?
We love Clint Eastwood.
What the hell's the matter with you?
You can't say that about Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood is a joke.
What?
Nobody came once.
Nobody.
Alec pissed somebody off.
Harvey pissed somebody off.
Unbelievable.
Sparky says, although Charlie Rose had sex harassment issues, Charlie interviewed Assad and that's why he was singled out.
Well, yeah.
But you see, Sparky, they could have stopped it.
If I say, hey, who's going to be on the Sparky show?
Assad.
No, he's not.
No, you don't understand.
That's Sparky.
I don't give a damn who it is.
No.
You ain't gonna do that.
Sorry.
Do you know what happened the other night on that Newsmax show?
There was some congressperson on or somebody was talking against Ukraine and all of a sudden, wow.
They're saying, hey, how did you, why did you, why did you cut that?
Why did you...
They did that to me one time years ago on MSDNC.
I was on a show with my good friend Ed Schultz at the time.
And I made a joke about it.
Remember when Cheney had that artificial heart?
I said, the only guy who doesn't have a heartbeat is like a vampire.
I said something like that.
I don't know what it was.
And I went back later and they cut it right out.
It wasn't a bad joke.
They just cut it out.
No.
You see, every now and then, they get tired of you.
I had a judge one time.
He had this great speech.
It was the old...
You know who does speeches like that?
John Kennedy, the senator.
Yeah.
And this judge had a southern accent.
He said, you know, we had this old dog.
It was a good dog, too.
We loved it.
I called him Buddy.
His name was Buddy.
And Buddy got a little old and, well, you know, Buddy came home and Buddy would, well, Buddy couldn't control himself and couldn't control him, bladder, and, well, Buddy, Buddy put, he'd make a mess in the corner.
It got even worse.
He said, Buddy, no, we tried everything.
We tried to weepad, we tried to train him and take him outside to a relief station.
We did everything we could.
But, Buddy, one day we said, you know what?
That's enough.
No matter how much we love Buddy, Buddy's just worn out his welcome.
We got rid of Buddy.
God knows how they got rid of mine.
Well, that's like these people.
Same thing with Charlie.
You know, Charlie, you've been good for a long time.
You've done a wonderful job.
Interviewed all kinds of people.
But, Charlie, we're just tired of this bullshit.
Our lawyers are telling us now we're on notice.
You inviting women over to your apartment for script changes?
No.
No.
Now, understand something.
Alec Baldwin.
Alec Baldwin was, he did everything.
But Hunt for Red October, he decided, nah, I'm not gonna...
I don't know if he...
See, because if you are a Matt Damon person, you're in.
Ben Affleck, to an extent.
Ben Affleck, Will Smith?
You know, all those ones who do all these?
And all of a sudden, they're number one.
They're number one.
Matt, do you think Matt Damon is that big of a star?
Hell no!
Hollywood is the shadow government.
And we've known this forever.
And if you play along with them, you're it.
Look at Tom Cruise.
I don't know what Tom Cruise has got on whatever, but he is not the only one in the world.
And look at what he does.
Top Gun.
What's that?
Pro-military, pro-government, born identity, CIA.
Remember three days of the Condor?
They're always...
All the CIA movies are good.
You notice that?
They're never bad.
It's never like a rogue, crazy story of Alan Dulles and how he killed Kennedy.
Hell no!
Hell no!
That was Alex's big break!
He was big!
He was going to be Jack White and I don't know what happened but you know what?
And Harrison Ford?
And then he just, things just kind of sort of didn't happen.
I mean, he was there.
He was doing some things.
He did that stupid Saturday night.
He was great.
He's a great actor.
Glenn Gary, Glenn Ron.
Okay.
And then Alec had that crazy wife.
Still has.
Hilaria.
Don't be surprised if one day she's on her phone saying, listen, can I cut this Spanish in here?
Listen, do me a favor.
Yes, Hilaria.
Do me a favor.
We're going to gather the assets.
What are we looking at?
Now we've got this crazy broad.
We're going to sue him too.
I'm out of here.
This reality show ain't working.
You think anybody wants to watch at home with the Baldwins?
Hell no!
It's done.
Don't be surprised if all of a sudden he goes, Mr. Baldwin, you've been served.
What?
We're out of here.
Please leave your apartment.
Leave my apartment?
Yeah.
Hilarious is going to be taken over.
She's done with this stuff.
She did that thing, and that has been a cluster since the beginning.
Remember that?
When she said all of a sudden, I'm going to speak, I'm going to have a Spanish accent.
But you're not from Spain.
Listen to me.
If I want to have a Spanish accent, I'm going to do it.
And then I meet Alex Baldwin.
Listen to me.
And then he got it there.
I said, listen, Alec, is it you want a coffee?
Tell me.
I get the assisting.
Somebody to take the coffee.
But no, you have to go to this place.
And they're waiting for you.
You know why?
Because you're a comey mierda.
That's what you are.
He's done.
He's just walking around.
And by the way, did you see our good friend Crackhead Barney walking around with her cervical collar and they still don't know who she is?
Come on!
Come on!
This is just wild.
So Harvey Weinstein, what they did to you, Harvey Weinstein.
Let's talk about this woman and that woman and this woman.
Wait a minute.
Didn't they do that to Trump too?
They did during that E. Jean Carroll case, but that's federal.
This is state.
Whoa!
What did that have to do with anything?
I don't know.
Warren Ocasio, interesting, says, where is Sean Combs?
You mean did he or didn't he?
Sean Combs is don't know.
What was that all about?
Warren, where's Kate Middleton?
Where's Kate?
Chuck's on the way out.
It's very sad.
They're talking about the funeral.
They're saying it's bad.
I mean, it's bad.
Billy is going to be king before you know it.
Where's Kate?
Where?
Is anybody asking?
You think Piers Morgan's going to get about it?
Hell no!
Piers wants to know everything about Gaza.
Everything about it.
Now do me a favor, my friends.
Do me a favor.
Just, just wait for one second.
Because I want to talk to you about this great man.
Oh, you know him, you love him.
Our good buddy, our good buddy, Mike Lindell.
Mike Lindell from the MyPillow folks.
You know, I can't say this enough.
I hope you understand this.
I'm not saying to buy every single thing he has using promo code Lionel and MyPillow.com promo code Lionel.
I'm not saying do that just because he's a great guy and because he's...
No.
And he's a great guy and he's a great American.
I'm telling you this is the best stuff around.

Simply and absolutely the best.
Indeed.
A good friend says, Ed Schultz was an All-American Division II quarterback.
If I recall, he was the top-rated quarterback.
He died way too young.
Oh, he did.
And was a good guy.
A really good guy.
Great wife.
Loved him.
Loved him, loved him, loved him.
Good, good, good fellow.
Absolutely, positively.
A great man.
Just...
Too young indeed.
It was a shock.
It was a shock.
But you know, my friends, we have right now, like I said, I'm trying to tell you the reality of situations, and when I also hear people suggesting, don't get me started, but you know when people are talking about, hey, Robert Kennedy, would you please explain to me?
How Robert Kennedy is doing anything but screwing it up for Trump in battleground or toss-up states.
Nobody knows.
I'm going to tell you something right now.
And this is what I think I do when I try to tell you the most.
Because, ooh, that sounds like a scream.
There we go, that's more like it.
What is this mind you have, honey?
Anyway.
The...
How do I say this?
It's not the news.
It's what the news means.
Does that make any sense?
It's not the story.
What does the story mean?
What does it mean?
Don't just tell me what it is.
What is the Harvey Weinstein...
Is Harvey Weinstein going to get out?
No, because he's being held on that California thing.
But...
But...
This could very well affect things.
But the most important is, the real question is, why don't they let Harvey go?
How did Harvey get to this in the first place?
If they wanted this thing, do you know the secrets this man has?
Do you know what he knows?
What he's done?
What he's done to help those Democrats out?
The dirt he knows.
Everybody in Hollywood has, in essence, ex-military, intel, CIA, FBI, law enforcement, working for their security.
They know the dirt on everybody.
They know the dirt on this one and that one.
They do nothing but know dirt.
That's what they do.
And they also know their own dirt.
They know what they can do.
And they do things sometimes with a degree of impunity.
And I'll bet you there was a time when Harvey Weinstein would have told you, a few asked him, Harvey, do you think there ever could come a time when these people would turn their back on you?
He'd say, absolutely not.
You don't understand.
I'm Harvey Weinstein.
They love me.
They owe me.
Harvey, these are cold-blooded bastards.
There is no honor.
Oh, no, no, no.
You don't understand.
And let me also try to tell you this.
This is very important, too.
Harvey Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, looks like a fist with eyes, okay?
He looks like a mistake.
And this guy, notwithstanding his looks, could get any woman, they would be lined up, they'd be at the, right where their office used to be, where the Tribeca grill is, they'd be down the street!
He wouldn't have to chase anybody.
He wouldn't have to meet at hotels and then beg with them.
Please look at it.
Just look at it.
Please just look at it.
Remember those recordings?
It was horrible because he's depraved.
Because he's the predator.
He doesn't want the sex.
He wants your fear.
He wants your terror.
That's what he wants.
That's what it's about.
It's not about sex.
It's about fear.
It's about Terror.
It's about going after you being the predator.
Sadism to an extent.
He wants to see you scream.
He doesn't want the sex.
He doesn't need it.
He doesn't need to do this.
There are women soulless, honorless, moral-less slatterns and trollops who would do anything.
Anything to get into the movies and some who have paid and done it absolutely harm me.
There's no need for this.
This is the part that you've got to understand.
And I guarantee you if this was Joe Biden and somebody said, do you know how many things, do you know what's probably on that Joe Biden or that Hunter Biden laptop?
Do you know?
Can you only imagine with the young nieces and girls and family?
If I told you, just listen to me.
And this is completely hypothetical.
I have no reason to believe this.
If I told you, you know there's some shots of Hunter with Jill Biden on that laptop, would anything surprise you?
Absolutely not.
Nothing.
Nothing.
He's a crack addict.
Have you heard about him?
No, because he's going to go away.
He's just going to drift away, and their case is going to continue, and it continues, and then he's going to be out of office, and he's going to be gone, and you're going to forget the whole thing.
It doesn't really matter.
Johnny Maz says, ladies and gentlemen, he says, Lionel, as you have said many times, talk radio is dead.
All Talk Radio have the same talking points.
Pro one way until the other.
Absolutely, Johnny.
Thank you.
And let me ask you this.
Thank you, Dr. Murph and whatever you like.
Wes Sinman, come on, Wes.
Do something.
Do the right thing, Wes.
Come on, Wes.
Cindy, come on, Cindy.
You know.
You know what I'm talking about.
I know.
Did you see where they're now going to be canceling?
I know Sparky likes this.
They're canceling all...
canceling campuses.
No protest allowed!
None!
If you protest, you're under arrest.
We'll kick you out.
That's it!
Anybody think that's a good idea?
We're going to send Mike Johnson.
Mike, this is terrible.
You said something hateful.
So what?
What do you mean, so what?
Lock him up!
We're going to shut you down and we're going to get rid of your president.
Get the hell out of here!
Mustafa, whatever her name is, beat it!
Yeah, but we were going to have all that...
Get up!
Get up!
You're not going to graduate.
You're under arrest.
Arrest them.
Take their library card.
Take everything!
Take their card.
You know that card, that magnetic card that lets you in?
Get rid of it!
Yeah, but I've got my...
Get out!
If you're Elan Omar's daughter, get the hell out of here!
Throw her out!
Yeah, but I paid for the rent!
Just shut up!
Go!
These people who during COVID said, excuse me, I can't go to my...
I can't go to my...
It's COVID!
Shut up!
Well, do I get a refund on my dorm?
No!
What?
Get out!
Well, okay.
Do I get a refund in my dorm?
No!
Just get out.
No graduation for you.
No nothing.
Why?
Because you said something hateful.
Get out!
Sparky says, maybe Charlie let the network think that he'd make Assad look bad, and when he didn't, it was an additional reason to get rid of him.
Maybe even the coup de grace.
You're probably right.
No, Sparky.
Believe me, they just had enough of him.
That dog, it just ran its course.
They don't...
And everything would have had to have been approved.
Nobody's going to run it without somebody looking.
Nope, it's just, it's not going to happen.
They wouldn't have even allowed it.
They would have said, who are you talking to?
Assad?
Bashar al-Assad?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But what about this, Sparky?
What about there's no speech on campus?
Everywhere you go.
I mean, everywhere you go.
Did you see University of Texas?
They're just jumping on people.
Now, let me say something.
I'm not there.
And I'm going to tell you something.
I think these people, frankly, no matter what, anybody, I think protests are stupid.
I mean, I'm sorry.
If they're peaceful, they don't do a damn thing.
Nothing.
They don't.
Because nobody cares.
And I'm also telling you something, I ain't going to be someplace with a bunch of lunatics where some false flag nut, some lone nut decides to open up.
And it's not that bullet that's got my name on it.
It's the one that says to whom it may concern.
That's the problem.
So personally speaking, I think it's ridiculous.
And I think there's a lot of these people who love to go out there and just to sleep in their tent.
Hey, we've got sushi from Pret-a-Manger.
And we got some nuts.
And we got a little tent.
And we're going to hit the bongo.
And we're going to say BDS.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Boycott something?
Divestment, sanction, something like that.
Yay!
Now, other people are serious.
Other people aren't.
But here's the best part.
What kills me is, wait a minute, during BLM you didn't do this?
Well, BLM is different.
Wait a minute.
They were tearing things up.
Well, not everywhere.
Do you know the number of people that were shown on Columbia, these actual events that weren't even taking place on school campus?
And the problem is, Columbia is smack dab in the middle of New York City.
It's like right there.
It doesn't really, sometimes the streets or there's a classroom over here.
It's like NYU.
NYU is the largest landowner in New York City.
You turn and there's a class.
I cannot believe.
And finally they're going to have a quote alt-right.
There's no protest at all countering that.
Don't you find that interesting?
Isn't that interesting?
I'm not a fan of the game.
I'm not a fan of the game.
And what's interesting is they never talk at all about what's in Gaza.
Did you see the universities in Gaza?
There are no universities.
None.
I remember trying to laugh and say, do you know what's going on there?
Not really.
Okay.
Do me a favor.
Do me a favor.
Let us pray.
Dear Lord, dear whoever, please, with all due respect.
If ever there is a cause that is...
Near and dear to my heart.
And I need to mobilize people.
Would you please make sure they're not a bunch of stupid Columbia assholes like Ilan Omar's daughter who thinks this is some kind of performance art thing.
They're not serious.
They're just out there.
I don't believe a word they say!
They have the right to do it, but it's not doing anything.
And whenever you pound a drum, and whenever you say, yay!
It's just, I'm thinking to myself, do you know?
I'm sorry, you have that right, but it's stupid.
Remember the Pussy March?
Excuse me, I'm sorry, it's a family show.
Remember the Pussyhat?
Remember that?
Remember that thing, that Spongebob, that pink thing?
What was that all about?
And who was it again?
Ashley Judd.
I mean, she was talking about her menses and then there was Madonna.
She wanted to blow up the...
Remember this?
When was the last time you ever saw a really, really important, really...
I mean, I like...
I'll tell you what.
I was at 9-11.
We all stood on 57th Street with candles.
Just nobody said that.
It was beautiful.
That I'm for.
But sitting there, eating sushi with a bunch of twits and a...
They live right there.
What do you get a tent for?
Ladies and gentlemen, Sparky says part of the reason college protests are being shut down is they don't want them to be in the habit of grassroots protesting for when U.S. troops are deployed.
Well, that's next.
Sparky, you remember, dear friend, and thank you very much for your kindness.
1970.
1970.
Kent State.
Neil Young, Ohio.
Ten soldiers in Nixon coming.
We're finally on our own.
There's somewhere I hear there's four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are cutting me down.
Should have been down long ago.
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
Antediluvian boomers says, Me too never rang true.
I'm sure many women have their career ambitions taken advantage of, but the scenario implies a consensual encounter.
Mr. Doomer, thank you very much for your contribution to the cause, sir or ma 'am.
I'm not sure.
I never want to comment on trials, especially when I'm not there.
I don't hear it.
But there's a lot about this case I don't buy.
Sparky says BLM protests were encouraged by the feds.
They weren't grassroots.
Well, yes, but here is, but Sparky, I think, I think, we start at the very top.
First of all, Sparky, who controls the message?
What is it about the message that these students have, pro-Palestinian, that riles Congress?
Left and right so much.
What do you think it is?
Is it Palestinian?
Or is it Israeli?
If there was a rule that said, okay, I'll make a deal with you.
You cannot say anything about Israel.
You could say Palestinian rights, Palestinian freedom.
I don't care what it is.
You're going to ask, well, how are you going to get freedom?
You just do not do.
No BDS.
No nothing.
No, you can't say anything about Jewish people, Jews, Zionism, or Israel.
Nothing.
Would that make a difference?
Is there a deal?
Protest all you want.
Hold up pictures.
Hold up whatever you want to say in support of Gaza and Palestine and the Palestinian Authority or whatever you want.
Hamas, no.
No.
Would that make a difference?
Would that make a difference?
No.
The message is simple.
This cause is not valid in any iteration.
And we're going to say that it's spreading hate or it's anti-Semitic.
And excuse me, hate speech is protected.
I hate to say it.
If it's not accompanied by violence, you can say whatever you want.
We had the Klan march in Skokie, ladies and gentlemen, in Skokie.
Come on!
Just do me a favor.
Don't pretend that you don't know what this is about.
That's all I'm saying.
Don't pretend that all of a sudden you say, wait a minute, you care about hate?
You care about what?
We've never had, when was the last time anybody ever, when, maybe, maybe they don't, maybe there has been, maybe there have been, no, any kind of protest on campus.
When did you ever have the National Guard come in and just shut people down?
When?
When?
Can you think of anything?
Sparky, Pittman, Pittman, damn it, pay attention.
Faye, wake up.
Patrick, Gracie.
When was the last time you heard about protests shut down?
Maybe during COVID when they were saying, hey, you're too close.
Have you ever heard of this?
Have you ever heard of this before?
No.
Not Kent State.
I already mentioned Kent State.
That was in 1970.
I'm talking about a recent memory.
Have you ever heard of it?
Has there been?
We had the pussy hat march.
Remember that?
Does anybody?
I don't know.
Why is this so special?
I'm looking at this.
I'm thinking there's no violence.
They're saying some things a lot of people don't like, but there's no violence.
These kids aren't doing anything.
They're not doing anything.
There's no violence.
Now, if there's violence, do something about it.
Why are they being shut down?
Sparky's on to something.
Sparky says, that picture of the Vietnamese girl running after her clothes burned up by Napalm is what got the U.S. out of the Vietnam War, not protest.
Well, you are right about that.
My Lai did it.
But there's one thing about that.
You're right.
We became used to them.
You're right about that.
Thank you.
Thank you again, Sparky.
We became used to the protest.
We became used to them.
It's very important to understand that we became acclimated to an extent.
We became acclimated.
And that was something that is very, very, very strange.
No, the Vietnam War did a number of things.
Here's something for you.
And I think, I don't know if many of you folks will remember this, but I remember the Vietnam War.
There was the end, a couple of things, the Tet Offensive.
Do you know, now people forget this, maybe Sparky, you might find this of interest.
The Tet Offensive in 68 or whatever it was, was really, oh my god, but the Americans kicked their ass.
I mean, they took some serious, serious casualties during that entire melee.
People forget that.
The end of the war came from a variety of reasons.
And it was, and protests, put it this way, let me ask you a question.
Question.
Sparky brings up a good point.
Had there not been any Vietnam protests, do you believe that the war would have been longer than instead of 1975?
It might have been 1977, 1978 before.
Do you think so?
Do you believe that protests sped up the cessation, the end of the war?
Yes or no?
What effect do you think Gene McCarthy had?
But anyway, specifically, Bobby Kennedy.
Killed in 68. And what really changed things is when it became, remember the famous Walter Cronk, that was during LBJ, after the Tet Offensive.
It was a combination of a lot of things.
The war was going nowhere and they realized it.
And Nixon realized it.
Nixon said, this is nothing.
This is going nowhere.
That was nothing but, nothing but post-OSS, post-Cold War, post-World War II, communism BS about whatever it was.
But protests are very important.
Let me tell you what's happening.
Everybody misses the question.
When there is protests in Europe, Regarding Gaza, whatever.
How is it portrayed?
How are the protests here?
Let me ask you this question.
How are the protests portrayed?
Most people are not going to go to the college campuses.
Most people are not going to go there.
How are they portrayed?
Do these people look like they have a point?
Do they make a point?
Is the point valid?
Or do these look like a bunch of, quote, entitled elites and they're that routine?
I have not been there.
I have not, unless you are there, you don't know what people are saying.
You don't know what the feeling is.
You have to be there.
This group versus that group.
Why are they shutting down protests?
Answer my question.
Why are these protests?
There's been no violence.
Maybe a little bit.
But they're there and they're told, alright, that's enough breakup.
Why are they being told to stop?
Why?
Pie-whack-it.
Says truth has become the most feared word in the human language.
Hear, hear, and thank you.
Sparky says protests may have extended it because they may have strengthened the resolve of warmongers.
Could be, yes.
They knew it was going to come to an end.
They knew it was a matter of time.
When you say it was an end, it started off, remember, Lyndon Johnson said, I am not going to be the first American president to lose a war.
This is a Democrat.
Let me ask you something.
Why is the protest?
What is the problem?
What is the beef?
What is the problem?
I'm asking you, for the love of God, answer my question.
What is the beef that people have with the protesters?
Tell me.
What is it?
What?
They are disrupting people's lives?
Okay.
Now, many people, Marissa, would say to you, no, we're still going to class.
The protests are here.
Now remember, We're not talking about violence.
Any violence towards anybody for any reason should not be countenanced in the least.
Antediluvian Doomer says, it's because, country name, is the home of the most special people in the history of the universe.
Are you suggesting to me that it is because of the subject matter, specifically the negative subject matter, that is necessarily involved against One particular faction, one particular group, one particular country.
Is that what you're saying?
Or is it because of hate?
Because of anti-Semitism?
Let me ask you this question.
If there had been...
I don't want to get into the definition of Semitism.
Who is a Semite and who's not?
But let's assume, hypothetically, we go back in time and I create a situation where a bunch of, let's say, right-wingers...
We're protesting against Hamas or the Palestinian Authority or whatever it is.
Let's say it started like that.
Not Israel, just a bunch of people just raising holy hell against Gaza.
Would there be a problem?
You can't do that.
If you don't cut this out, We're going to cut your entry back into your dorm.
You can't go to classes.
Do you think so?
Let me ask that again.
If the protest had been, hypothetically, just against Gaza, do you think anybody would care, yes or no?
Do you or do you not?
Yes or no?
They would be more likely to let it go.
Why is that?
So are you saying it's the subject matter?
Is that what you're saying?
Is that what you're saying?
You're saying it's not about anti-Semitism.
You're saying it's the subject matter?
Is that what you're saying?
Ladies and gentlemen, half of the battle is to pretend you don't know what's going on.
If you want to get along in polite society, you've got to scratch your head and say, I don't really know what's going on.
Sparky says in Europe, protesters are portrayed as pro-Muslim in order to link them with Europe being inundated with Muslim immigrants in the last decade or so.
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
Where are the counter-protesters?
Where are the counter-protesters?
Is there absence?
For example, we see here to this day, on light posts or whatever, pictures of...
We'll see them on the highway, in Jersey, in different parts of New York.
You'll see billboards that say people, hostages.
And you'll see that.
But there's no counter-protest.
There's nobody.
It's just either, quote, anti-Israel or pro-Gazan or whatever it is.
That's it.
Why is that?
Is that by design?
Is that because if there were to be a counter, there would certainly be violence and that would destroy the image?
Because so far, the public opinion is that these people are crazy.
These people are a bunch of detached, elitist, stuck-up kids with no sense of reality, you know, living off of your parents' teat and blah, blah, blah.
Do you think maybe that is?
Does that make any sense to you?
Does that make any sense?
I find it fascinating!
Fascinating!
Because you've got to ask yourself, what does this mean?
What is the rationale behind this?
How does this work?
How is this being portrayed?
Tell me what the optics are.
That's the thing which I find to be most fascinating.
Explain the optics.
That's it.
That's the part that I don't understand.
And what is the role?
It's so interesting.
There is no one.
You're missing probably one of the greatest I don't want to say propaganda, but you're seeing so much interesting, fascinating things.
You know, you may not remember this.
Sparky, you're a little younger than me, but When I was a kid, we had this movie called The Green Berets.
I will never forget this as long as I live.
And it was a narrative that was so strong.
It was some of the best.
And it was at a time when the world and the country was very, very torn over Vietnam.
Extremely, extremely angry.
Torn, dare I say.
Torn!
And at the time, I remember, people would look at this, and they would look at the protesters, and they'd see these dirty, you always heard this, dirty, barefoot, commie, and you hated them.
You just spoke ill of them like they were vermin.
Sparky says, most of the protesters are pro-Palestine, not pro-Hamas.
The media calls them pro-Hamas as if nothing happened before October the 7th.
Sparky?
Absolutely.
Let me tell you the rules of this, and this is critical.
Rule number one, as you say, nothing happened before October the 7th.
Nothing.
October the 7th is the beginning of this, number one.
Number two, you ask the question, does Israel have the right to defend itself?
Yes.
Number three, Is Hamas a terrorist organization?
Okay, by definition, yeah.
By definition, absolutely.
Yes.
Yes.
Three.
Four.
Was October 7th a terrorist act?
Yes.
Yes.
And then it stops.
And then you say, and what else?
No, that's it.
That's it.
Well, what happened, but what about before October the 7th?
No.
There's two things they don't want to hear about.
Number one, do not even suggest in any way whatsoever, either, and certainly not, do not even suggest an excuse, but never a justification to explain the mindset of why either Hamas would want to do something or why people would applaud that.
They're not interested.
In any other war, you always want to understand, explain the motivation and the idea of the enemy.
Tell me what the enemy thinks, so to speak.
Not this one.
Very interesting.
The other thing which is the most important, the other part which is critical, is to ask yourself this question.
Thank you.
Well, let me back up.
It's very easy here because nobody knows Anything about any kind of history.
If you watch, I keep saying European, when you watch other platforms, you will hear people suggest, the best is that one of the things that people are suggesting is that the story of the initial, the rapes and the beheadings have been discounted and refuted by a number of people as either exaggerated or not having happened at all.
When you tell that, or if you dare iterate what other people are suggesting, you will get a reaction from people like, you have lost your mind.
Okay?
And I want you to remember this notion, this word, this theory from Marshall McLuhan that said that little lies are easy.
Or rather, excuse me, little lies are hard to keep quiet, but big lies are easy because of their incredulity.
Meaning that sometimes when there is a story, That is so horrible, that has been, I don't want to say accepted, I don't want to give the old liberty balance when the legend becomes fact, prince of the legend, but when a set of facts have been accepted, it's true.
And for you to sit there and say, no, that's not what happened.
The greater the allegation, the more horrible the event that you're trying to dispel, the work.
The more they will look at you like you are out of your mind.
How dare you?
Remember, this is about news.
It's about propaganda being propagating.
It's about perception.
It's about awareness.
But it's also about bias and what people are thinking.
Not about the cause, but of the participants involved.
Sparky says there are no counter-protesters because they got too tedious to keep finding the willing and paying them.
Well, I think there would be many, many people who would be more than willing to counter-protest.
If there were, if you had a sizable faction to counter-protest or to protest against these, and they became, God forbid, violent, it would ruin everything.
It would ruin the image, the perception.
Very complicated indeed.
Very, very complicated.
My friends, this has been so fascinating.
Tonight is Blue Ribbon.
You have been without peer.
And I mean that sincerely.
Without peer.
So let me just say to you, dear friends, to our friend Sparky, thank you so much, dear friend.
Antediluvian Doomer, thank you.
Pie Whacket.
Thank you, Mr. or Ms. Pywhacket, or they.
Thank you for that.
Let me see here.
Johnny Maz, Warren Ocasio, and Dr. Murph, thank you immensely.
All right, dear friends, you have been superb.
I am in a set and in a feeling of complete and total exhaustion for varieties, for things I would rather not say.
Thank you.
Keep thinking.
Ask questions.
Do not be afraid to ask questions.
Ask.
And the best questions are the most obvious.
We'll see you tomorrow, my friends.
Oh, please, let me ask you, as I normally do, do not forget Mrs. L. She has the most incredible stuff.
Watch what she says about WhatsApp.
Not WhatsApp, about...
Oh, God.
Hang on a minute.
I'm so...
I'm at that stage.
I'm at that stage.
Ah!
Snapchat!
Snapchat!
Wait till you see what happens regarding that.
Follow her.
Listen carefully as to what this is about.
It's one of those stories.
It's one of those things which is so...
This is...
The other night we were at an event.
And somebody said, oh, Snapchat, that's not social media.
That just goes away.
No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
What?
No, it doesn't.
This is her video.
Watch this.
All of you great people, watch this immediately.
Watch this.
Watch her piece on Snapchat.
Sparky says, by the way, Sparky says, U.S. may have ordered Hamas to attack on October 7th via Qatar, just as a routine stirring up shite in the Mideast.
Not realizing how successful they'd be.
Then the Frankenstein monster ran amok.
Sparky?
Not waxing conspiratorial, dear friend.
But let me say to you something very simply this.
To everybody who watched that night, or that day, it was absolutely mind-boggling, sir, how the most efficient, Renowned, technologically advanced, intel superior organizations such as the State of Israel, how they let this occur after, what, two years of practice?
After, I mean, it is inconceivable, leading many people up to, by the way, there was the titular firing of the head of security, now.
Including many, many people to say, this was either lie-hop or lie-hop.
Made it happen on purpose or let it happen on purpose.
And the reason why it was suggested was because, was because of the fact that it was just unbelievable.
You either believe that Israel is the most proficient, the most professional, the most technologically advanced of any country, not just in the Middle East, or This seemingly, I mean, they were signaling this.
Everybody knew.
That remains to be seen.
But as you know, Sparky, when you ask questions like this, the first thing you're told is you're a conspiracy theorist or you're anti-Semitic or whatever it is.
Rather, and that means you are right over the target.
