Today is a very important day.
Very sad day for us.
But a very glorious day in many respects.
I wanted to share this with you.
You may have heard from time to time, you may have heard that we had a friend of ours who was a Catholic priest.
He was 103 years old.
He was a great friend of ours and he passed away today at 103 years old.
And when all was said and done, About the Catholic Church and priests who were horrible and nuns who did this and people loved to slam the Catholic Church.
He was one of the great and good guys in the entire group.
We talked many times, he was just adamantly loathed the idea of children and little kids being Violated by priests and people who use that position of trust.
And he was here in Hell's Kitchen for his entire life.
He was at the same church.
He was with the Paulist fathers.
He was the oldest Paulist in the world.
He was at his church where he was baptized.
His first communion where he lived.
He lived in Hell's Kitchen.
He was a...
He was just an incredible person.
His name was Father James Lloyd.
And he was just, just loved him.
And found out today, called up to see how he was going through some things.
And they said he passed away today.
And while I feel very sad, of course, I look back, what a life.
What a life.
He has a video on YouTube where he was doing the show.
He used to do the Midnight Mass, I think, every year.
I think for PIX11.
And he did this show.
He did this TV show on NBC.
And lo and behold, lo and behold, who walks in?
I forget exactly the story, but Jackie Gleason.
And you can see him, I don't know, how many years ago?
Because Jackie Gleason was very, very interested in his faith.
And trying to reconnect with his faith.
And he also, by the way, Jackie Gleason was quite the proponent of UFOs and EBEs and the like.
So in any event, he had a great, great life.
93, I mean, 93, 103.
It was 103.
Just, I mean, what a great life.
And, you know, people will say things like, you know, he had his marbles.
And then they really didn't.
What he didn't have was his legs.
Towards the end, he couldn't walk.
He needed one of those walkers.
But as far as his mind, as far as his thoughts, absolutely, absolutely.
Smarter and better.
In fact, we would say some things like he'd say, you know, I said, what do you think about the president?
What do you think about Joe Biden?
He said, well, he was very, I think you would probably call him a conservative.
But only does it apply really to the church and certain doctrine and the like.
But we would say things, I'd say, what do you think about Biden?
He said, well, I think he might need to.
He was very kind.
He said, I think he might.
You don't need to slow down.
He basically was saying that Biden was crackers.
I said, wait, wait, what was it?
You were 102 then, and you're telling me, 102, you could be his father.
You know it's not good.
What a 103-year-old says, I think, is over the hill.
So, just a great, great guy.
God love him.
Just fantastic.
He always answered the phone and said, this is Father James B. Lloyd.
He says, I'm not able to take the call.
He goes, remember this.
Say your prayers.
Walk with God.
And have some appropriate fun.
Adios, amigo and amiga.
Adios.
That was his voicemail forever.
And he would always say, God.
And this stentorian, God!
And I...
It's a very great place, and Mrs. L and I, we love them.
And by the way, just so that you know, this is very important.
I have had friends of my people, we never talked about any kind of, you know, my views of religion.
It doesn't really matter.
But we did share a couple of ideas, which I was listening today.
Mrs. Allen and I had a wonderful day today.
We had a lovely afternoon in Largemont.
I had a client I had to speak with then.
We said, we'll have a lovely repast.
And it's in Westchester County.
It's in Largemont.
It's near New Rochelle.
It's a very nice area.
And we're sitting there.
And on the way back, I was listening to this wonderful piece.
I think I played a few yesterday.
It was this wonderful...
It was this...
I can never say this.
I always thought it was Galertner, but it's not.
But it was Berlinski, it was Carroll, and it was...
I think it was Galertner.
Anyway, this was the fellow.
This was the computer scientist whose hand was...
Was destroyed by the Unabomber.
And we're talking about the notion of God.
And I want you to listen carefully to me.
I hate atheists.
Hate them.
I hate people who speak in an apodictic way.
But this is the only way.
And this is the only way.
This is the only way.
No.
Galerinter.
David Galerinter.
It was Stephen Meyer.
It was Carol is a physicist.
And we're talking about this wonderful thing.
And I want to just spend a moment.
And then we'll get down to business.
Because this is what I've been thinking about all day.
There's something called the Cambrian Explosion.
It was about 538.8 million years ago.
And they talk about it as being critical to the evolution of animals.
When in fact, it wasn't evidence of evolution.
Too many people, and Father Lloyd and I talked about this, it was the evidence of an explosion!
Of everything in this one particular period, out of nowhere, with no antecedents, nothing beforehand, no Darwinian precursors, no nothing.
All of a sudden, fish, dinosaurs, boom!
All of a sudden!
Doesn't make any sense.
It was species, it was theodicy, it was...
It blew people's minds.
And the classical Darwinians cannot explain it.
And that's why support Tucker Carlson for having the guts to say what he says.
Support Tucker Carlson by having the guts to say that he believes that nuclear war is unnecessary.
And evil, if that's what he wants to call it.
Support Tucker Carlson when he says that he eschews and rejects the notion of Darwinian mechanics.
And embrace those people who are able to listen to the subject of religion and God necessarily without Feeling like you have to embrace complete and total commitment to it.
I think that parents...
It's so funny.
I believe in God, but don't believe in God.
I believe in what God means.
And I believe in the benefit of God.
I believe that children should be taught God.
I believe in Sunday school.
I believe in giving kids the framework of a religion.
The framework of a religion and then letting them, as they get older, decide I'm going to maybe move some things or eliminate some things or fashion it.
It doesn't matter.
It does not matter.
I have no...
I want to celebrate today in the memory of Father Lloyd this notion of no...
Ambivalence.
Religion should not be the subject of disjunction.
And what's happening right now on college campuses has nothing to do with religion.
I am disgusted with what I'm seeing right now.
And woke radical left sorrow shadow government ghouls will never let Trump See another victory.
That is their goal.
I'm not saying this is...
I'm not saying this is...
How do I say this?
I'm not saying this is the worst that the world has ever seen.
I think World War II might have been some worse.
But I've never seen anything like this in my life.
I want to imagine...
I want you to listen to me.
I want something.
In fact, I'm going to tell you a lot of stuff that I and Father Lord...
Go!
God.
I love the way he says it.
God.
What is our role here?
What are we trying to do?
Well, let me tell you what my role is.
I am like the guy who is the oncologist.
The oncologist who says, I'm never going to stop cancer.
There are too many cases for me to watch, but I'm going to make a dent in this.
And I'm going to do everything I can to make it a rarity to soothe and fix and add as a palliative those people who have it.
And I want to identify this and I want to teach people.
I want to teach people.
I want to teach people.
I want to teach people how to think.
And I want to teach people to embrace new ideas, new thoughts.
Madam Stamp says, Hi, Lionel.
Missed you this week.
Church is vital to humanity as a whole.
Madam Stamp, I agree.
And I believe that if that's, that you should look to find those things, find that part of you that connects you to something other than the here and the now.
I have a friend, we have a friend of the family, and it's a young couple, and I never, I never, I am the best, I am the best, and would be the best, I sound kind of highfalutin, but the best preacher type, because I would find it fascinating, the stories.
I've always loved the stories of mythology.
Now, I'm not trying to compare God with mythology, but I loved it when I was in Latin mythology and, you know, gods and that sort of thing.
So I just found out that we have these friends and family, and they're going on some crew or some tour or vacation.
I said, oh, that's terrific.
Where are you going?
Well, one place we're going to, very excited, to the Vatican.
Wow!
Wow, the original Temple Mount, St. Peter.
I said, you know the story about the Vatican, about what this is.
This was how Mussolini was most...
But I said, this is an important place.
This is an important place.
When I hear people talk about this, and it says, we were driving through various...
And people say, I support Israel.
There were big flags.
I support Israel.
Have you been to Israel?
Have you been there?
I will tell you that I've been there twice, and it is, in some particular points, transformational.
And how I really thoroughly dug The place.
Now, let me say something.
I know I went to the places where they want me to see.
I never went to parts of Gaza.
I was near Gaza.
When they were bombing, I didn't realize this.
We were at a place called the Hill of the Horse.
And we saw this boom.
And I'm looking and I said, where is it?
You don't see anything fall.
You just boom.
And I'm waiting to see a plume.
I didn't.
And one thing that I do, one thing that is my ability, that is the greatest thing I have in my arsenal, and I am the most proud of, I can understand your point of view.
Ronald Joseph Weech says, it is a beautiful day in paradise.
You know, today it was a beautiful day today.
And I think, and by the way, Ronald, thank you for your kindness.
Madam, thank you as well.
I can understand.
I understand.
I'm telling you, I understand.
I understand exactly.
I understand your point of view.
I understand.
Oh.
You know when you get your eyes done?
We go to this old-time doctor.
He's an old-time, and he puts on the glasses, and he says, is it better like this?
Or is it better like this?
We went to some newer guy, some young guy.
He didn't spend any time.
This guy said, better like this.
Better like this.
He knew everything.
He's an old-fashioned.
He said, now look at it like this.
He put on these glasses, okay?
Now look at it.
Can you see?
Can you read the letters now?
Okay, can you read about it?
E-F-G-H-D-C.
Can you read it now?
What about now?
Can you put it on like this?
This is what I want to tell you.
I'm saying, here are the, this is what Jewish, some Jewish Americans feel.
Put the glasses on.
Oh, okay.
They're not evil.
Not evil.
Not crazy.
This is what they see.
Okay, let me put these glasses on.
This is a Palestinian.
Oh, see?
Understand?
Yeah.
Don't make any judgment.
Just understand.
Okay, I got it.
I got it.
Now, here we go.
This is a new shade.
These are sunglasses.
This is called Zionism.
Put this on.
I didn't know that.
Yes.
Now, do you know the difference between this and this?
See, these glasses are the light.
Zionism is closer to Judaism and Israel, but not Islam and Palestinians.
They're not Islamists.
They may practice Islam, but that's not the way it is.
Now, let's go here.
These people live in Gaza.
This is the way they say it.
Oh, okay.
Now these are the people who live here.
These people were...
That's all I want you to do.
That's all I want you to do.
I want you to be conversant with it.
And there are many people, there are many, many great shows, many good shows, many terrific shows.
I know you like them on TV, on whatever it is, but they act like they just don't understand.
They think that...
And how do we say this?
They will say things like, Bibi Netanyahu, they say, is crazy.
He's mentally ill.
He's not.
Bibi Netanyahu's a psychopath.
No, he's not.
No, he's not.
I got into this pissing match the other night.
Don't ask me why.
This is why I can't deal with people.
This woman comes out of nowhere.
She says, well, I did a study by the time.
And they said that...
Most, if not all, of the dictators were narcissists.
I said, oh my God, have you seen this?
There was a woman, she's an Indian woman.
She's very smart.
She's done 9 million videos on narcissism.
I swear to God, it's the same one every time.
But she's wildly popular, very smart.
I said, what was it again?
She says, yes.
They're narcissists.
I said, Stalin was a...
I said, first of all, who's a dictator?
Define a dictator.
What does that mean?
And she said, Trump.
I said, wait a minute, Trump's a dictator?
I said, alright, that's enough.
That's enough.
And I just got up my leg.
I just got...
I'm 65 years old.
I say that with pride because I, you know...
And this year, I told Mrs. L, I'm not putting up a bullshit.
I'm not.
I'm not arguing with people.
I'm not going to be with people I don't want to be with.
I'm not going to go out to eat with people I don't want to be with.
I'm not going to go see them.
Let's go see it.
No.
No.
Yeah, but no.
I don't want to be with people.
Sorry.
Uh-uh.
Not interested.
That's done.
The old me, that ship has sailed.
I'm not going to cause any problems, but I am not going to waste a moment of my time talking to bullshit.
And this is exactly what it was.
I said, Donald Trump is a dictator.
I said, you know what a dictator is?
I said, define a dictator versus a strongman.
You have no earthly idea.
Narcissist.
These words.
I got into it one time.
And many people have said this.
Hitler was not a psychopath.
Because psychopaths to people, it means mean, it means evil, it means despotic, it means whatever.
These are terms of art.
Psychopathy is a kind of differential diagnosis.
It's a DSM-6.
It's a psychic.
No.
He's psychotic.
He's not psychotic.
These terms we use.
And I am so tired of people.
And I love when I talk to Father Lloyd.
I said, let me explain to you what I think is this.
I would discuss with him how the church, you're going to love this one, how the church has advanced its conservative rules.
If you don't have rules of something, you don't have anything.
I play the guitar.
We haven't played in a long time.
And you play a D chord a bunch of different ways.
Up the neck, bar chord, whatever it is.
You can kind of slide into it, but the rules are the rules.
And when you play the guitar, you can say, I'm going to improvise.
You can improvise all you want, but you tune it like this, even if you do different tunings, but these are the rules, these are the chords, this is it.
And you can improvise all you want, but you have to improvise from something.
There's a framework to this thing.
That is the basis of this.
There is a framework to it.
And the thing that drove me to crazies about Catholics was that they were cafeteria Catholics.
They thought they could do whatever they want.
And I've got Jewish friends who go, ah, this one's a reform.
To me, it's orthodox or it's nothing at all.
What the hell are you doing?
You got to keep kosher?
You don't just say, well, we don't want to keep kosher.
Well, I'm a reform.
I'm a conservative.
Would you stop that?
You're a cafeteria Jew.
You can't do this.
Same thing with Catholics.
Do you observe the Holy Days of Obligation?
What?
Nobody does that.
You have to believe in the rules.
How many times have you seen me do this one way or another?
How many times have you heard the Constitution?
Do you think I like this?
This is the worst.
The writing is horrible.
It's like they wrote it by committee.
I don't even know what the hell happened to the second amendment.
I don't even know.
In the third amendment?
Quartering soldiers against your will?
This was a problem?
Okay.
That's the rules.
It's the rules.
It's conservatism.
Conservatism.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
Let me read something to you.
Do you all do Chad GPD?
ChatGPT is the most fantastic thing in the world.
Fantastic!
Let me just do that.
Let me show you something right here.
Do it, and by the way, get the ChatGPT4, whatever this newer one is.
This other one is Farnatin.
Okay, here's ChatGPT.
Okay, give me a question.
How about this?
Define.
I'm going to say, I'm going to put, let's just put conservatism.
This is ChatGPT.
This is not Google.
By the way, this chat GPT is, I've got version, I think, oh yeah, four.
Okay, four.
So anyway, define conservatism.
Okay, and this is what I ask.
Let me tell you what it is.
Boom!
Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes retaining traditional social institutions.
It typically emphasizes respect for established authority, a preference for gradual development over abrupt change, and seeks to preserve what is seen as established truths and values.
Conservatives often advocate for a limited government intervention in the economy, a strong national defense, and the preservation of cultural and religious heritage.
The philosophy can vary significantly.
Between different countries and cultures, adapting rather to local traditions and context.
Tell me what's wrong with that.
Tell me what's wrong with that.
Now, when it comes to variations of that, oh, I'm as cool as they get.
I will veer from that, but I start with this.
I start with that.
And I start with the notion of what this thing is.
There are fundamental beliefs.
There are absolutes.
Absolute.
Absolutes.
No, no exception.
Murder.
Well, war.
Well, self-defense.
Okay, what we do is we always define it out of that.
Well, we're not really sure.
What does it mean?
What does all this stuff mean?
What does this mean?
It's fascinating.
It's fascinating.
All of it is fascinating.
Tremendously fascinating.
There has to be certain things that we abide by.
And what I am seeing, And I was telling him about this, and I can't believe what I'm seeing.
There is no, no, no freedom of speech on college campuses.
I'm hearing people say, John Lovitz, Jewish students should not be accosted because they're Jewish.
Absolutely.
What are you getting at?
What does that mean?
Is this a rule?
People should not be murdered.
Yes!
What are you getting at?
And they kind of slide into this.
And therefore, protest...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Protest?
No.
You said people shouldn't be accosted.
So should others.
You should see the absolute dickish behavior from UCLA.
Did you see the Breitbart fellow?
The place is filled with every kind of jack wagon you can imagine.
All over the place.
What do I glean from this?
I don't know.
What do I take from this?
I don't know.
Tell me what we're supposed to get from this.
Do you remember Eric Bren?
Eric Bren.
It absolutely...
I think, obviously, it's Bren, right?
Because it was a Bren.
Eric Bren was Eric Bren.
I think it was Annette Sullivan.
Eric Bren.
Ah, yes.
The plate spinner.
Ed...
Eric Bren.
Plate spinning.
This is one of the biggest things in the world.
Plate spinning.
Eric Bren.
This guy was it.
And Chinese acrobats did it.
There were all kinds of types of spinning plates in popular culture.
I loved all this stuff.
Eric Bren.
The saber dance was always...
...
Anyway, for a long story short, when I was a kid, I realized that in order to be in life, you have to be able to read millions of things.
And you've got to run all these plates at the same time.
All of these plates.
Can you move these plates?
Yes.
Can you go like that?
Yes.
Can you do that?
Yes.
I can do multiple ideas different.
I can say there should be free speech on campuses.
You should not be able to yell at people or make them feel bad because they're Jewish or because they're Palestine.
You should be able to allow all different types of speech.
You should be able to have certain rules because protest does not mean open sewers and garbage and people having sex in public and animal sacrifice.
No!
Why is it so difficult?
It's one or the other.
I don't even want to bother with this.
Let me stop for one second.
I want to say something very quickly.
I took a little time off in honor of my good friend Father Lloyd.
A hundred and three years old.
A hundred and three years old.
Think about that.
Unbelievable.
One hundred and three.
Damn!
Not a hundred.
Not 101, 103.
So very quickly, preparewithlionel.com makes complete sense.
And if you think you've got enough food in your cupboard or larder or your pantry that can compete with this, you're out of your mind.
So here's a deal for you.
Very simple.
Right now, get a four-week emergency food supply kit.
Save 50 bucks off.
There's over 2,000 calories a day.
16 varieties up to 25 years shelf life.
That's it.
That's simple.
Right now, preparewithlionel.com.
Did you hear what I'm saying?
Preparewithlionel.com.
Preparewithlionel.com.
That's the name of it.
They used to call this prepping.
Like you were crazy.
Like you were some kind of a nut.
You're a tinfoil hat guy.
Because you believe in prepare.
Yeah.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Alright?
Okay.
That's all.
We'll tell you that.
Did you hear Joe Biden on the Howard Stern Show?
We've lost our minds, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
We have simply lost our minds.
And this guy, Howard Stern, is so despicable.
He is an over-the-hill, it's done.
Nobody cares about Howard Stern anymore.
Nobody cares about Howard Stern anymore.
You hear what I'm saying?
Nobody.
Nobody cares about Howard Stern.
They just don't.
And it's one of those things where I can't...
I don't know how to say this to anybody.
I don't know how to...
Maybe explain this to you.
But years ago, I think one of the things is you got to know when to say, all right, either I change or maybe I change or maybe I kind of, I don't know, maybe advance a little bit.
Maybe advance a little bit.
Maybe add something to my repertoire.
1980 or whatever is over with.
So anyway, so they bring him in.
Joe Biden is pissed at the New York Times.
And that's the whole story.
Joe Biden will not go to the New York Times because of whatever it's worth.
I don't know why, but that's Joe Biden.
I don't know what the story is.
He pissed off the New York Times.
They're mad at him.
He's mad at them.
So he says, you know what I'm going to do?
Screw you.
I'm going to come in and make all kinds of money for fundraisers.
So I'm going to go on the Howard Stern show.
Now let me ask you something.
Do you know how horrible this man is?
No, no, no, no, no.
The president is on the Howard Stern Show.
Did you hear his lies?
Did you hear how they said that women sent nude pictures to him?
He was lying.
He was lying about everything.
He was lying.
Let me see.
I've got this right here for you.
A great source.
Let me show you this one.
Let me see.
You've got to be on X now.
You've got to be on X. You've got to be on X. His name is Greg Price.
And he said he saved six people from drowning as a lifeguard.
Lie.
This is Biden.
He received salacious pictures from women in the 70s that he handed to Secret Service.
Definitely a lie.
Senators don't have Secret Service protection.
He made that shit up.
He said that he was arrested as a kid while standing with a black family on their porch as people were protesting desegregation.
It's a lie.
He said he was a runner-up in state scoring and football.
It's a lie.
It's a lie.
You may say to yourself, why are you lying about that?
If people lie about little things, That means the worst.
If people lie about little things, that's the scariest thing in the world.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
That is absolutely one of the most...
How do I say this?
It's one of the most...
You see, when somebody cares about nothing, I'll tell you, I've known people like that.
Have you ever known a liar?
That doesn't get into the area of psychopathy, but it's kind of getting a little close, so to speak.
A little close.
I've got a friend who you can't...
He lies, and it's not because he's a bad person.
I really don't think he knows anything about...
Honestly, I don't think he knows anything about...
I don't know what the word is.
I don't think he knows anything about the truth.
I really don't think he knows anything about the truth.
I don't think he knows anything about truth.
I don't think he...
And he'll say things.
It's the weirdest thing.
Now, there's something about lies which are important.
And we can spend a lot of time with this.
A lie is a misrepresentation of fact with the intent to deceive.
And there are some people who can exaggerate.
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
First and foremost, number one, there is the lie.
The typical...
A particular type of lie.
I have one friend.
Let me give you people that I know.
One is people who I know who's full of shit.
I've been saying that a lot.
I'm not running around.
I'm not an F-bomb user.
But shit to me is the most, it is the most facile.
I wrote every version of it that you can imagine.
And it is so...
You know, ape shit, bat shit, chicken shit, horse shit, bullshit.
I mean, there's so many, and each one is a gradation.
He went bat shit crazy.
You know, he's dating that girl.
Yeah, he went ape shit over her.
These words mean something.
They really mean something.
They're part of our vernacular.
I've got one friend.
You're going to love this.
I've got a friend of mine, and she will say things like, She lives as...
How do I say it?
Oh, I shouldn't say it because you're going to be able to read through it.
But she's full of it.
She's kind of a liar.
Loves you to think she's more sophisticated.
Another one says, here's a picture of me with Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago.
I know Donald.
I've known Donald for 35 years.
Donald's my friend.
I know Donald.
You're a liar.
First of all, you know him.
Everybody knows him.
But you're lying because you're stretching the truth as far as this thing goes.
You're stretching the truth.
But that's grounded in some position of truth, maybe, sort of.
It's like, okay, yeah, I guess.
You know, that's, yeah, okay.
Maybe, you know.
Then there are other people who just lie.
Then there are people who are delusional.
Delusions of grandeur.
People who I think their lying is almost problematic.
Joe Biden is gone.
He can't, and he said, oh, first he said, I'll debate Trump, but here on your show, I mean, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Then they want to get rid of Corinne Jean-Pierre.
Are you going to love this one?
They're talking about the palace coup.
They want to get rid of Corinne Jean-Pierre, but they go, oh, no, we can't because she's black and she's gay.
So she just made it.
You know why?
First of all, why are they going to get rid of her now?
Why now?
Whatever damage, she could have gotten rid of her a long time ago.
She's like furniture at this point.
Second of all, the reason why nobody cares about it is because he's going to lose, and they know it.
They know he's going to lose.
He's going to lose.
Who gives a shit?
And another thing, here I go again with a shitty...
There is this myth.
Oh, we've got to hire a black woman.
No, you don't.
Oh, yes we do.
No, you don't.
You don't.
You hired Kamala Harris or appointed.
Did that help you?
No.
Well, she's black.
I don't want to get into the provenance, but you know.
She's black, yeah.
Does that make it?
Did that help?
No.
She's incompetent.
Well, you know, Karine Jean-Pierre, she's gay.
Nobody cares.
She's not the only one who's gay.
She might be the only openly gay.
There's more gay folks there than you can imagine.
Nobody cares about this.
What are you going to do?
How many gays do you have?
Would you shut up?
Nobody cares about this.
Now, as far as the Trump case goes, I'm going to tell you this again.
And I'm going to say this again.
How about Biden's uncle was cannibalized?
Uncle Bozy.
I told you the people from PNG, Papua New Guinea, they do not like this.
And China says, come to me, come to daddy, we'll respect you.
Think I'm kidding?
I told you that the other day.
Alright.
A couple of things here.
The immunity case.
Fascinating.
Do you believe presidents should enjoy absolute immunity for what they did when they were president?
Yes or no?
How many?
How many?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Faye says, yes, they were cannibals.
It was a religion.
Well, the cannibalism was Mortuary.
They ate relatives to keep them from decomposition.
Salmonella, ladies and gentlemen.
Salmonella.
Thank you, Sal.
Appreciate that, buddy boy.
Should there be immunity?
Yes or no?
No, because they're crooks.
Impeachment is the way to go.
No, I'm talking about immunity.
Do you think there should be immunity?
Do you think that, for example, Barack Obama, after he leaves office, is charged with murdering somebody because of, you know, firebombing somebody?
Yes or no?
Do you think so?
The answer is there should be partial immunity, but I can't figure out which partial one.
No president's going to say, excuse me, or does he just write himself?
What you do is you need to do this.
You need to say, I need to pardon myself.
If you're not going to grant me immunity, I'm telling you right now, I am signing a pardon to me anything I did in the past or the future.
Just like Nixon got it.
And I'm signing it and I'm putting it in the safe.
You got that?
Okay.
We'll give you immunity, but it's got to have to do something with your job as president.
What the hell does that mean?
I don't know what that means.
Well, what do you mean?
I don't know what that means.
I'm not sure what that means.
I have no clue as to what that means.
It sounds good.
I don't know what the hell that means.
I don't know what it means.
And it's some of the best argument ever.
And I want you to go back and Forbes has it.
Listen to this.
And this Ketanji...
Brown Jackson?
Excellent questions.
Excellent!
Elena Kagan?
Excellent!
Then they're talking about the criminalization of homelessness.
This is great Supreme Court stuff.
Listen to it.
Listen to it.
All of them.
Gorsuch is terrific.
Kavanaugh I love.
I like them all.
So keep that in mind.
Next!
I was watching on my iPad, I get Fox News.
Have you ever seen Judge, not Judge, Jonathan Turley, before he's on, he does this.
He makes this look like, like it's a sheepish.
Now we're going to Georgetown Law Professor.
It's almost like David Frye doing LBJ.
He's got the kind of a hang dog.
Dopey dog.
Jonathan Turley.
Anyway.
He was on Andy McCarthy.
Oh, this case is bullshit.
These charges are nonsense.
They're going to win an appeal.
No, they're not.
Stop this.
I'm telling you again.
It breaks my heart to say this.
They're going to find...
Trump guilty.
Doesn't matter whether they gag or it, but it doesn't matter.
David, Packer, Schmecker, Decker, put him on.
Doesn't matter.
Put him on.
He's not going to be found.
He's going to find.
He's going to absolutely positive.
He is going to be found guilty.
Guilty.
Maybe not 34, maybe 17. And they're going to remand him to Rikers and Judge Mershaw is going to say, okay, I got it.
Do I get the federal judgeship now?
Do I get it now?
I did it.
I delivered.
I was the first one.
Well, don't look at me.
I sentenced him to prison.
I did.
I did.
On a misdemeanor, I'm the guy.
I am loved.
You think anybody is stupid enough to dare, to dare, to dare come back with a not guilty in New York, in Manhattan?
Are you nuts?
They'll dox their ass.
They'll have people outside.
You're the one?
You hung up that trial?
Who are you?
Oh, no way.
No way.
First of all, you're not going to find anybody like that great hard hat.
See that guy?
Yeah, I'll tell you what.
Hey, Tony, what do you think about the president?
Oh, yeah, I'll tell you what I think.
Any message for Biden?
Yeah, F you!
This guy is the central casting, prototypical, wonderful.
Ah.
*clap* Thank you.
It is such a joke.
It is such a joke.
And wait until the Democrats try to remove President Trump's Secret Service protection.
That's what they're doing to Bobby Kennedy.
And by the way, do me a favor.
Look at every case that Bobby Kennedy is qualified to be on the ballot and ask yourself, is this going to hurt Trump?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I don't know what Bobby Kennedy is about.
And I knew right away who his vice president was going to be.
Look, let me explain something to you.
I'm going to say something to you that's very, very brutal and very, very honest and very, very tough and very, very mean.

I'm sorry to say this, but to be a Kennedy with the terrible history that the Kennedys have had, I'm sorry.
But you know what I'm talking about.
You would only have to be a fool not to realize that there is something that's so sad about how they've been targeted.
Horace Pringle, by the way, says, It seems that every single new show that starts out excellent eventually becomes woke and preachy.
Billions, Narcos, and Loudermilk.
It all happened in the third season.
Men become dumb, scheming, or malign.
You know what's funny?
I loved Loudermilk.
Billions was good.
Narcos.
You know you're right about that, Horace, and I thank you for this.
I think it's because they change the trajectory of the writers.
This new staff invariably is brought in to substitute the predecessor staff, and almost reflexively, you're so correct, they take on this affect of, you're right, annoying, preachy, 100%.
Thank you.
To think that they would not grant Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Secret Service protection.
And because of this, his choice for vice president is very important, because I'm sorry.
When a Kennedy runs, historically, you've got to ask, who's the vice president?
Why?
Because there's a bunch of sick bastards out there.
And who does he pick?
This lady from Google?
No.
No, you're not serious, Bobby.
You're not serious.
I thought you were serious, buddy.
I thought you were serious, but I thought so.
You know, but you're not.
And I thought you were.
But I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know.
I don't, how do I say this?
I mean, I thought you were okay.
I thought you knew.
I thought I could take you seriously.
I thought you were there to help.
I thought you were trying to make some kind of a move.
But I just don't think you have it.
I don't think you have it.
Hillbilly says, by the way, would RFK work as vice president for Trump?
No.
And why would Trump want him as a vice president?
Hillbilly, others, would you get it through your head?
Trump is never going to have anybody who will ever outshine him.
Never.
The one who is completely full of shit when it comes to this business with, you know, the campus, but I think would be fairly decent in terms of being a vice president otherwise, is Elise Stefanik.
If she just lay off this one trick pony song of hers.
John Mack says, decades ago, I used to listen to Howard Stern.
When the singer Karen Carpenter died from her eating disorder, Stern on his radio said, you would be alive, Karen, if you ate more.
He is a despicable human being.
Remember the thing, who was it?
Selena?
Look.
Look.
I'm telling you right now, and thank you, by the way, for this.
I'm telling you right now, I have never, ever Ever.
Ever.
Listened to a Howard Stern show.
I didn't know what channel it was.
I didn't listen to radio.
I never heard an entire Rush Limbaugh.
Sean Hannity.
I one time my good friend Anthony Kumi is on.
I hate to tell you.
But I never even listened to Anthony and Opie and Anthony.
I couldn't tell you who the hell Anthony was or Opie and Anthony was.
I didn't listen.
So I don't know about radio and all this.
I really, honestly, don't know about these.
I don't know about these people.
I don't know about them.
I don't know where they're from.
I don't know what they're about.
I don't get the whole thing.
I don't get it.
But I do know a couple of things that he and Rush Limbaugh did so much to save AM radio.
And that's the absolute truth.
He really did.
He saved AM radio.
And he made radio cool again.
He made it cool.
He made it cool.
He made it...
I don't know what the word is.
I thought it was very good.
But there comes a time when it's over.
And you have to ask yourself, always change your mind.
Name a star for me that has sometimes you can keep...
Not everybody can be the Stones.
Eric Clapton.
Eric Clapton, by the way, will always be...
Eric Clapton is always redefining himself.
Eric Clapton is always...
He's so good.
He'll come on and do his usual stuff.
But then again, maybe there's that acoustic stuff.
He'll have a different band.
It was with Steve Woodward a while back.
He was doing some things.
I mean, he was very, very good.
Cheryl Crow used to change her, I think, her kind of image for a while.
Some people just...
Few people can do the same act over Jimmy Buffett.
Jimmy Buffett did it.
But sometimes people have to change.
And they might want to do it with acting.
Can you think about it?
Who's changed?
Oh, Dr. Murph says Sade.
You know, Sade, Sade is absolutely, she's wonderful.
And also, she has a huge following.
Bowie transformed.
Thank you, Travis.
You know, David Bowie used to be in this place.
Our friend lived right around him.
He'd be in the hood.
And the people who lived there knew who he was.
He didn't really disguise himself, but he wore a hat or something.
He just kind of liked New York.
He would go to this same place.
You know, you get into your neighborhood routine, this one deli, and they liked him.
There was this Italian joint around the corner, but still there were all the...
All the kind of hipsters go, but you're not treated like a hipster.
And he was such a regular person.
And when he died, he's one of the people that I thought to myself, I never recognized how important he was and what a genius he was.
I didn't understand.
Because I always had him in my life, as far as I can remember, from the Iggy Star.
And, you know, I never...
Sometimes I'm a late bloomer.
I was a late bloomer with the Stones.
Sometimes I caught on later with country music.
Certain things you just kind of pick up on.
You know, music, I'm telling you right now, I do this, like I told you, I do a private channel at lionelmedia.com.
You can sign up for it there.
And one thing I've always loved to do, one of my favorite things years ago was I'd have friends of mine, Come over and I had the best, I think, vinyl collection.
And I'd say, bring a tape.
Bring your cassette tape.
And we'd play music.
I'd say, listen to this, listen to this, listen to this, a little Ernie Watts, a little Diane Schur, a little Sudeo Watanabe, a little Toshiko Akiyoshi, Luchabagin Big Band, some Sun Ra, Nick Drake.
When Molly Hatchet...
I mean, that hardcore Southern stuff would go from that to this and that.
And as I played it, I would put it on this tape and at the end I'd say, here you go.
And that was the memory of the moment.
And years later, a friend of mine said, you know, I found one of my tapes and I don't have a cassette player around, but he did.
And I listened to it and it's the same stuff I'm listening to today.
Same stuff.
Absolutely.
The same stuff.
And let me also tell you something.
Listen to me, one thing.
Do you want to get some good news?
Here's some good news.
YouTube is the best format for playing...
You know, the other ones are great, too.
God bless them.
Bitchute and Rumble and all.
They do great.
But when it comes to showcasing music, you can see some blues singers, some female blues singers in Japan on the street corner.
There's something called the...
Oh, God.
What is her name?
Erica.
I love this.
Erica.
Erica.
Let me see.
See you then.
See you then.
Dixieland.
New Orleans.
It's called Big...
Oh, here we go.
Erica Lewis.
Erica Lewis and called Tuba Skinny.
Listen to her.
Listen to Erica Lewis.
E-R-I-K-A.
Listen to Go Back Home.
Unbelievable.
Bunch of young white kids, not that it matters, sitting around playing some of the most beautiful, hardcore.
It's called Tuba Skinny.
And going back home, in fact, I'm just going to give it to you here.
I'll just pass that on.
You listen to it later.
It is so American!
It's American!
It's beautiful!
It's who we are!
Just Dixieland!
And she does this kind of a Bessie Smith kind of a...
We're going back home.
Going back home.
There's a young lady who plays I think Coronet.
Oh my god.
Knock your dick in the dirt.
I'm telling you.
She's a mother.
You know the MF reference?
I'm not going to say it.
But in music that is of course the highest the highest compliment.
I was listening to some Diane Schur do New York State of Mind.
Most beautiful version of her in my life.
Guitar Clinic with John Jorgensen.
Rick Beato.
God bless Rick Beato.
God bless him.
God bless who is a fellow talking to Steve Gad about drums.
I don't even play drums.
There's so much great music.
There are girls who sit in their, I guess, their room and they try, you know, they get kind of dressed up and they try to look.
You know, they try to, you know, look young and, you know, attractive.
But their guitar playing is great.
I feel like telling them, you don't need to do that.
There's a woman who plays, I don't know who these, have you seen these classical pianists, these women play?
Oh my God!
It's the most, I can just sit there and think, I've never heard.
It's like going to a concert.
Where you're just gobsmacked.
You can't believe what you're singing.
And guitar...
I used to do a show on TV...
Oh no, on a radio.
Why can't...
Why aren't there any great women guitar players?
I actually said this.
And at the time, I said, don't give me that Bonnie Raitt.
For all practical purposes, we're going to limit the discussion to electric.
And there sure as hell aren't any bass players.
Right.
Maybe it's a male thing.
Maybe it's a masculine thing.
Maybe women just don't have it.
Well, cut to 2024.
And there are...
Oh, my God.
Who was the Australian woman who played with Michael Jackson?
She was...
I forgot her.
Kyra, Sakira, Sakira, whatever her name is.
I...
I...
Women bass players?
Women drummers?
Have you seen there was this 8-year-old Japanese kid playing rock and roll or something and they get Robert Plant to watch her?
She's this 8-year-old little kid!
Shakira, not Charo.
What is her name?
Charo.
By the way, Charo was excellent.
Charo was excellent.
Beth Hart's wonderful.
Been playing Beth Hart on the On the show.
Absolutely.
Long fingers help a lot when it comes to guitar.
Not necessarily.
Segovia.
No.
Absolutely not.
Watch...
Have you heard Danny Gatton?
What a tragedy, that one.
Danny Gatton.
Orianthe.
Dear God.
Just throw in...
Italian, excuse me, Australian guitarists, Orianti, Katie Cole, Ruby Hunter, Tash Sultana, Karen Sharp, Sherry Rich, Mary Hansen, Chris Bonacci.
Just because of this great equalizer, they're incredible.
And this nonsense we would say about, well, maybe women can't play.
And bass?
You know who was terrific?
Tal Wilkenfeld?
Who played with Jeff Beck?
Dear God!
What is she, like 10?
With Buddy Guy and...
Oh my God!
And by the way, Jeff Beck had another...
He had great female drummers and also another female bass player.
There was absolutely nothing...
Tal is a beast.
Absolutely.
Charo showed up in the Pee Wee Christmas show.
Charo was married to Zaria Kugat.
She played great flamenco guitar.
Absolutely terrific.
You know, we were listening to you the other day, which is one, if you're from my generation, remember O to Billy Joe?
It was a third of you.
Bobby Gentry?
Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie.
Plays a nylon string, kind of a classic.
That's the whole thing.
What the hell's this song about?
And Billy Joe got dry cleaning out.
If you please.
Now you're getting dry cleaning.
Wait a minute.
What's happening?
And Bobby went down to the store and bought some string for daddy's hat.
For his hat?
What are you talking about?
And then she went home and sat down and said, how about some fat back?
Will we get to the song, please?
I think I know what they threw off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
I don't want to ruin the story for you.
Surprise there.
Horace Pringle says, I was never into Warren Zevon, Edgar Winner, or Johnny Winner.
My brother has been an avid fan of Todd Rundgren.
I realize the music might be okay, but it never touched me.
Warren Zevon listened to, oh yeah, Werewolves of London.
What?
Excitable boy.
No, no, no.
Keep me in your heart tonight when he was dying.
Oh!
Keep me in your heart tonight?
Edgar Winner, Johnny Winner?
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Yeah, I'm kind of with you.
Todd Rundgren, watch him and Daryl Hall play.
Todd Rundgren took on this singing style.
You know this?
Hello, it's me.
I've been around here for a long, long time.
Well, now he does this.
Hello!
It's me!
He does this weird style.
It's like, what are you doing?
How about Elton John?
I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
I don't understand him.
Is that Rocket Man?
What is it?
I don't know.
He's crippled.
It's over with, my friend.
I'm sorry to say this.
John Mazze says one of the best female drummers was Karen Carpenter.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Thank you, John.
Karen Carpenter.
Did you ever see her just unleash?
The Carpenters were great.
Great.
Let me tell you something.
There are some songs you're not supposed to like.
Like I thought the Bangles were fantastic.
They're big ones.
The album with...
Manic Monday and walking down the street and walk like an Egyptian.
It's a fantastic song.
If she knew what she'd want, he'd be giving it to her.
Love it.
Or it's Bobby General.
And Bobby General went down the store to buy some coffee.
Let's get to the point, Bobby.
What's with the song?
Was it the baby?
Did you throw the baby over the...
And he killed himself?
Excuse me.
No, we're not going to pass the biscuits, please.
Stop it.
Get to the point.
What the hell happened?
And the preacher came by?
What'd the preacher come by for?
Did you throw that baby up?
Would you stop that?
Sing the song.
It was the third.
You know what song I never understood?
Mack the Knife.
Have you followed Mack the Knife?
I don't know.
What the hell is it about?
Oh, the shark bag.
With his T-D.
Okay.
And he landed pearly white.
And there's a shark.
Oh, that my kind.
Oh, I know he did.
And he likes a pearly white.
What about him?
And Johnny.
He ran down the store.
I don't know what you're saying.
Back to the shark, the shark's body.
And the knife is steely covered in blood.
What happened?
What the hell am I singing?
I don't know what the song's about.
I don't know what Stairway to Heaven's about.
Do you?
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
It makes me wonder, alright.
What the hell are you talking about?
I don't understand it.
There's some things I just...
And in the hedgerow, don't be alone now.
It's just for the right, my queen.
Pink Floyd.
I like, you know what song I love?
When you hear it, Brandy, Brandy wears a braided chain, Lookingglass, Elliot Lurie, fantastic!
Had a great voice.
I like songs like that.
I like Brandy.
I used to sing that into my, this, like a, what do you call it?
Like a drape, you know, the drape thing, the cord.
I can't speak tonight.
I think I've had a mild stroke.
The chord.
I would sing it.
Because that was Elliot and Lurie.
I loved that song.
Loved it.
And that's it.
I'm glad.
Oh, bread was...
I found a diary underneath the tree.
Hey!
Pass the biscuits, please.
Don't start.
And start a reading about me.
The words he'd written came into his mind.
I never see it in her eyes.
Remember, they find a diary.
She, uh...
This is my favorite.
Lionel's...
Lionel's hand fart covers are Grammy material.
Now, let me ask you something.
Does Rick Beato do hand fart covers?
No.
No.
You tell Rick any time.
You want to have Steve Gat on?
You tell me a manualist?
You name the song.
The Fish Chair, Closer My God Today, Onward Christian Soldiers.
Name it.
That's saying something.
You know what songs Mrs. L loves?
When she hears Dancing Queen, get out of the way.
Get out of the way.
That's her song.
Dancing Queen.
80s.
She loves Cindy.
Time.
Oh, money changes everything.
Please listen to Tuck and Patty.
Here, I'll tell you.
Listen to Tuck and Patty do time after time.
This one will kill you.
Listen to Tuck and Patty.
Here we go.
I'm going to pass it on to you.
Listen to this one.
When you get a chance, put this on your list.
There we go.
There we go.
Listen to that one.
Put that one.
They are fantastic.
And...
well here's another one too uh uh This is...
Have you heard everything but the girl do time after time?
Oh my God!
Everything but the girl.
Remember them?
Everything but the girl was they were in London and there was a shop that was selling out or closing down and they were selling everything.
And everything was for sale.
Everything but the girl.
And it was a mannequin.
Everything but the girl.
Here's one for you.
If you want to have a real heartbreak and feeling, I'm not in a particular stage of heartbreak now.
I don't have to be in heartbreak, but I want you to listen to I want you to listen to this one.
This is The Long Goodbye by a girl called Eddie.
Her name is Erin Moran.
And you think, not the one from Happy Days.
That was a tragic one.
Listen to this one.
Horace Phillips says...
Don't forget, Horace Silver is a great jazz.
My old roommate was one of the DJs in a radio station.
He was severely anti-Toto because he felt their sound was overproduced and way too polished.
I would counter that.
That's what makes them great.
Absolutely.
Horace, Lukather, Porcaro, who's the fellow who does the Africa?
Steve Lukather.
No, no.
Toto?
No, no, no, no. 99 and Brazilian Love Affair does that one.
Oh, Georgie Porgie.
Love that.
Love them.
No, no, no.
I'm kind of with you.
You know who's a great group too?
Ambrosia.
Remember Oh my God, the song Harvey, Time Waits for No One.
Nice, nice, very nice.
Not the big hit, but Ambrosia.
Remember the album with the pyramid?
Excellent.
Anybody into prog rock?
Remember the prog rockers?
Yes.
Here's a group nobody remembers.
Star Castle.
I was into ELP, King Crimson.
That was a hole.
And the one who did it better than anybody else?
Yes.
And John Anderson.
Listen to his solo album, Elias and the Sunhello.
John Maz, there was a really fun show tonight.
Not that it's never, but it was fun.
Thank you.
Johnny Maz, thank you.
I appreciate this.
I'm going to give you this one.
John Anderson, To The Runner.
This is from Elias and the Sunhill.
Oh, man.
This is, to me, the quintessential prototype.
I'm putting it up for you right there.
This is the quintessential prototypical prog rock.
Read the words.
Okay, here's some for you.
Another great one.
If you know this one, you earn my respect.
This was huge in the 70s.
This is from...
This is...
Okay, this is PFM.
Primiata Foreria Marconi.
This is called Il Banquetto.
The banquet.
Italian prog rock from the 70s.
This is what I was into.
This was...
We were so hip in high school.
Hipper than anybody.
Nobody knew how hip we were.
This was 1975.
I think it was PFM.
Maybe 74, 75. Incredible.
Check this one out.
Play this for your kids.
How many of you, dear folks, remember a clavinet?
Ronnie Law's pressure-sensitive album.
Always a Ronnie Law's.
Remember his His brother's Huber loss, the flautist.
This is always there.
Listen to this.
This is a prog rock.
This was the album that when I heard this, I remember the first time I heard this song, driving on Dale Mabry in Tampa, front of Tampa Stadium.
I was in high school.
I pulled over to the, because we didn't have cell phones, I'm calling like mad the...
I'm trying to remember the time because he would call the DJ and say, what was that song?
And this QSR was this very progressive when progressive meant something.
And same thing too, I heard Pancho Lefty with Willie and I didn't really know Willie.
Willie came along in 75. Willie was a redheaded stranger.
Willie had never heard of Willie before.
All that Waylon Jennings and stuff, that was.
You know, I was very lucky.
Thank God I was living in my time.
Because being in the South, when Southern Rock hit, when Allman Brothers hit, Marshall Tucker, Wet Willey, 38th Special, Outlaws, Greengrass and High Tines, Hurried Sundown, they're from Tampa, Beaver Teeth, Atlanta Rhythm Section, that was Rodney Justo from Tampa.
A lot of folks there.
That Southern thing was...
Great.
And with Dickie Betts, we just lost Dickie Betts, died in Florida, Osceola, right outside of Sarasota.
Dickie Betts, you know who else lived in Tampa?
Bernie, not Bernie Taupin, and Marty Balin.
Marty Balin used to come by the radio station a lot.
And, and, a buddy of mine, Robbie Steinhardt, who was the flautist, the guy with the hair in Kansas.
He was known as the guy with the hair.
And there was a place in Tampa called Steak and Shake, which was really good.
But we'd always go there.
And we'd walk in and say, hey, they didn't know.
They just knew him.
Anyway, a lot of good stuff.
A lot of great...
One time I had on, I interviewed Bo Diddley.
And Bo Diddley came in there and I said, He came in and he was ready to do his thing and I said, so I didn't know this about you.
It says here you're actually of Sicilian origin and your real name is Pasquale Cacciatore.
I didn't know that.
He goes, what?
I said, it says right here, Pasquale Cacciatore, you're born in Palermo.
He said, I'm not.
He goes, you're calling me a liar?
I said, don't give me this.
I said, what?
You're not doing that.
I'm going to pick cotton business, do you?
I know your story.
You're Sicilian.
You're like Iron Eyes Cody.
And I made this stuff up and he's looking at me like, what the hell are you talking about?
And then he started laughing.
And we, he was laughing so hard.
Whoever talks to Bo Diddley like that?
Let me tell you something.
Who did he book me for this lunatic?
One day when I'm feeling brave, I'm going to tell you this story about Diamond Tooth Mary.
But I can't now because I'm a Christian.
Sort of.
And it will break my heart.
I could not tell you this story, but it was to me in my lifetime when I look back on this stuff.
Do you ever look back on your life and say the stuff that makes you laugh?
This is the one that makes me laugh.
And nothing makes me laugh.
So we're going to do that.
Anyway, thank you.
Thank you for being here.
If you pray, pray for our friend, Father James Lloyd.
Johnny Maz, thanks you.
Horace Pringle, thank you.
I appreciate that, Horace.
Let me see who else is there.
Oh, Johnny Madness.
Johnny Madness.
Hillbilly55.
Sal Manella, everybody.
Ronald Joseph Weach.
And the lovely and talented Madam Stamp.
And like I said, think of our friend Father Lloyd, 103 years old.
And this was a guy who was a holy feller.
And I'm thinking he talked about this.
He was just waiting.
And he died.
He died with his boots on.
You know, he wasn't...
He wasn't confined to a bed.
I mean, towards the end, he was...
I mean, let's face it, when your body shuts down, you know, there was some palliative stuff.
But he lived a great life.
And I talked to him that, I don't know, last week.
But that is something.
So I know he is united with his family.
He always spoke about his mother and father.
His father was Jewish.
His mother was not.
And they were in vaudeville together.
They were part of a song and dance team.
So he was part Jewish, part Catholic.
And a big guy, too.
You know, for an old man, he was solid.
Really, you could tell during his day.
And he would talk about in Hell's Kitchen, the Hell's Kitchen, and where Lincoln Center, as they called it, San Juan Hill.
Not San Juan, San Juan.
And Hell's Kitchen was the original, this is where the draft riots were, and the Westies, and it was, and now it's very, very nice.
So anyway, Father Lloyd, here's to you, my friend.
Here's to you, looking at you.
What a life.
What a life indeed.
Alright, my friends, have a great and glorious night.
Before I forget, please do me a favor.
I think I told you this before, and I'm going to say it again.
I'm going to say it again because I am wont to do that.
I tend to be repetitive, and I don't really care.
Follow Mrs. L at Lin's Warriors.
At Lin's Warriors.
It means a lot.
Promise me right now you will go to Lin's Warriors and you will subscribe to her.
