	Friday.
	This is April.
	No, April.
	This is May the 3rd, the year 2024.
	This is a Friday morning version of this thing of ours.
	This is our review of what is happening.
	It is right now, as of today, 186 days until the election.
	And that doesn't really matter to most people.
	That doesn't mean anything, because people, for the most part, are just reacting.
	They don't really understand what's happening.
	They're just taking all this data in, and they're not being able to sift through what's happening.
	And a lot of it has to do with how you focus.
	You focus in, focus out.
	How you look in, how you look out.
	How is it that you're taking this?
	Most people will look at one particular story, one particular take, and it's difficult for you to back up, take everything in collectively.
	That's difficult.
	That's admittedly difficult.
	But that's what we're going to do.
	You're missing one of the most important events ever.
	I cannot tell you.
	How I start off saying, okay, here's what I want to tell my dear friends.
	This is the message I want to put across.
	And I always think, like, I didn't even come close.
	Didn't even come close to explaining what this is about.
	I want you to imagine, I always think of maybe some kind of an analogy or something.
	I want you to imagine reading a An instrument panel.
	You're a pilot, let's say, and you're doing your best to take all of this information in.
	And some of it matters, some of it's not.
	Some of it's critical, some of it's not.
	Some of it is explanatory, some of it is just because they had room on the dashboard, they put another idiot light on it.
	Some things matter, some things don't.
	How do you figure this out?
	Don't really know.
	Either way, this is where we are.
	This is where we are.
	We are in the midst of a change that is going to be so drastic and I want to say something right now.
	Since 1948 since the creation of the State of Israel America for the most part Has had a rather kind of a benign look.
	It's just what Israel and the Middle East is about.
	The narrative was so important.
	The collective narrative.
	What you thought about Israel in particular.
	Israel was this, the way it was portrayed.
	And it's true.
	I mean, I'm not exaggerating.
	This little country that could, that from the Haganah to this incredible determination, how they built this land surrounded by enemies into this.
	International powerhouse.
	They have 0.2% of the population, maybe 2% here in this country.
	And it's just incredible.
	And the story, the gumption, the courage, the narrative, how Hollywood portrayed it, 1972, Arafat.
	Terrorism.
	And now it is at a crossroads.
	This is so critical.
	And it takes an adult to review this.
	And I mean an adult group of people who can look at this and try to be objective and to fight back.
	This petulance, this anger, and dare I say in some respects, this hatred that I'm seeing still on both sides.
	Get ready, my friends.
	Stand back and prepare.
	Make sure you are subscribed to the channel.
	And before we begin, this critical word from our critical sponsor.
	It's no longer a question of if something catastrophic is coming, it's when.
	And while you still have control, still have time, what are you going to do about it now to prepare?
	Your first step is going to my website at preparewithlionel.com.
	Preparewithlionel.com.
	Your next step is stocking up on multiple four-week emergency food kits from My Patriot Supply.
	And for a limited time, take $50 off a four-week emergency food supply.
	My Patriot Supply is equipped to help you prepare.
	They've helped over 2 million families already.

	Take advantage right now, my friend, and go to preparewithlionel.com.
	That's preparewithlionel.com.
	As I told you, it's difficult to take all this data in and figure it out and react to it objectively and not necessarily by virtue of what you think you should react or how you should react.
	We've got a lot of things to talk about.
	First and foremost, I want to talk to you about some things that are hard to say.
	As far as being important and critical, but I think they are to me.
	And maybe it's my own particular idiosyncrasies, but there is this, for lack of a better word, this chicken shit Ben Shapiro who pulled something which is, I love to see how people who are supposedly so smart can do something so stupid.
	And what they are doing to Candace Owens is you are just turning over hero status to her for reasons that most people cannot understand in the least.
	Don't understand it.
	Can't figure this one out.
	Don't understand what you're doing.
	I did a video on that.
	Members of the nation here always get videos first.
	You can peruse that.
	And I look at things the way I've learned about professional wrestling, politics, media, tactics, strategy, impression, and how it works.
	In the old days, when you wanted to see how things worked, you could say, how are the newspapers handling it?
	How is television handling it?
	How is maybe radio handling it?
	And that's it.
	It was very easy.
	You could figure this thing out.
	You could because there was just so little media.
	There was little.
	Now, today, you're saying, how is this being handled?
	Number one, I just find this fascinating.
	Candace Owens, whom I'm not a fan of any of these people.
	When I say I don't have, I'm not a fan of people.
	I'm fans of the information and kind of like the status.
	I don't know these people.
	They could be the greatest people in the world.
	I don't know.
	Joe Rogan, I think, still has the most important.
	He knows exactly what he's doing.
	Lex Friedman absolutely knows exactly what they're doing.
	And other people trying to figure out what they want to do.
	You know what an example of that is?
	This Patrick Ben David.
	I've been watching him just a little bit.
	He's still trying to figure this out.
	Am I funny?
	Am I this?
	Am I authoritative?
	He's doing, by the way, a morning zoo version of this.
	This is when you have a lot of people come in to help out because you think you need them and you really don't.
	The morning zoo came about.
	There was a fellow years ago.
	He really made a popular thing.
	Scott Shannon was a very famous radio producer, a programmer.
	Z100, from worst to first.
	And you put a bunch of people in a room and you process it.
	The zoo.
	And somebody's bound to say something funny every now and then.
	You just tell everybody.
	That's where that one is.
	It's very cacophonous.
	Doesn't really know, is he serious?
	Patrick Ben David doesn't know what he is yet either.
	He's still trying to figure this thing out.
	I like people who know what they want to do.
	They know the format.
	They get it.
	And I like a one-man show.
	While I'm giving gratuitous praise and appraisal, Candice does it.
	She's a one-person show.
	Teams, I'm thinking, ooh, you're telling me right away.
	No.
	You lose yourself in it.
	And there's always somebody in your team trying to vie for the position of who the big shot is.
	Okay?
	Keep in mind that there's How do I say this?
	There's this thing sometimes when you're trying to figure out, do I know what's going on?
	Do I have a particular point of view?
	What is it that I'm trying to do?
	It sounds crazy.
	It sounds nuts.
	But there are people who don't really know what it is.
	That their show is about.
	I'll tell you who's got a great, who knows exactly what he wants to do.
	My buddy Sticks knows exactly what he wants to do.
	Period.
	Has it down.
	And you always, he's McDonald's.
	It's my ultimate, it's my ultimate, it's my ultimate compliment.
	He knows exactly what he wants to be.
	And when you go in, you're not confused.
	Like, what is this?
	When you go into a McDonald's, You want the fries?
	You want it.
	You want consistency.
	He's doing that.
	Napolitano has completely changed the interviewing format.
	Others are...
	They have guests, but they don't lose themselves.
	It's fantastic.
	Patrick Van David sees something very interesting.
	Watch the beginning of David Berlinski, who was an absolute genius, and watch the first...
	A couple of minutes and it's cringeworthy talking about his tie.
	I'll let it go.
	Next, there's a group of people, there's this new insurgents, which I find interesting, people who find that if you speak quickly and speak fast, which is really something especially for younger folks because of this kind of this torpor, this kind of this slog delivery, this, you know, anyway.
	Destiny.
	I don't know where this guy, all of a sudden I got hit with this, whatever his name is.
	He was on with, I think.
	Also, with the slowest talker of the world and absolute genius is Norm Finkelstein.
	Absolutely just the slowest and quiet.
	And they put the two together and it's just incredible.
	So you've got this Ben Shapiro who's in that fast, celerative speed.
	Candice, to an extent, has that.
	And then Destiny, I don't even know what he's saying.
	Because let me explain something to you.
	Half of what we're doing is stagecraft.
	Half of what you're trying to do.
	I want you to think about something.
	And I want you to feel always.
	This is my goal.
	I hope I do it.
	That I'm talking to you.
	I'm not talking at you.
	I'm talking to you.
	I'm not broadcasting.
	I'm talking to you.
	And I want the person next to you to think, forget what I'm saying, whether it's sagacious or not, let other people decide.
	But I want the person next to you to think I'm talking to them too.
	That's critical.
	I want you to think I'm talking to you.
	I want you to think I'm talking to you.
	So Ben Shapiro came along with his Candace Owens.
	And Ben Shapiro, I've got to tell you this before, because this is so funny.
	First rule, Ben, never, ever, ever turn down a debate.
	Nobody will remember the debate.
	Say what you want about destiny that was this...
	He had this wild...
	Whether you like him or not, he shows up.
	Nobody remembers what he says because nobody knows what he's saying.
	They only remember when you say no.
	They only remember when you say no.
	And this chicken shit...
	What he did with Candace is they're trying to work out a debate and they're getting a gag order, the non-disparagement violation.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	And that hurts the cause.
	Understand something too, Ben, that you hurt your marketability as selling the product and your product is an opinion if you lose your mind.
	Look what happened to, and this is, look what happened to Shmuley Botia.
	He was off the rails.
	You don't even see him anymore.
	He's in isolation.
	He's like a rabid dog that's trying to calm down.
	Half of the stuff, which is the most difficult for most people to do, is to find out what's different.
	Who's in, who's not, and what does this mean?
	What happens?
	It happens day to day to day.
	Have you noticed how Bobby Kennedy is all over the place?
	Bobby Kennedy doesn't know what he wants to do.
	Bobby Kennedy is just...
	They're pulling stuff up.
	I retweeted, whatever it's worth, reposted this.
	Bobby Kennedy wants to be famous.
	Bobby Kennedy wants to be this...
	He wants to be taken seriously.
	And he's not this screw-up, you know...
	Kid from the Kennedy clan.
	He always came across very sober.
	And I mean that in terms of being serious.
	And now we realize he doesn't know what he's talking about.
	Who is consistent?
	Trump.
	Did you see Trump delivering pizzas?
	By the way, Trump's throwing these...
	I hope the pizza's settled.
	You know that when you...
	Deliver pizza.
	You got to make sure you don't move it around a lot because the cheese and everything is kind of molten.
	So you want to make sure you're going to...
	But Trump's like, I don't know if anything's in the boxes.
	Hey, how you doing?
	It's your pizza.
	Hey!
	Trump is a genius at saying Trump is McDonald's.
	You know what you're going to get.
	You know what you're going to get.
	He doesn't ask for your opinion.
	He doesn't apologize.
	You know what you're going to get.
	And consistency is the thing which is the most...
	That doesn't mean you talk about different stuff, different ideas, different...
	No, no, no, no.
	So what I'm saying is Ben Shapiro did something which was just so monumentally stupid by looking like he's running from Candace Owens, who just won.
	Candace doesn't have to do anything.
	Candace is now...
	She has just elevated herself into...
	And she has absolutely...
	He has elephantine balls.
	Again, I keep saying, this is not a praise about, oh, I think she's so terrific.
	Her style, the delivery, the package, the message.
	Absolutely.
	Noam Chomsky, consistent.
	Consistent.
	Meersheimer, consistent.
	You have to be, meaning, not boring, not repetitive.
	Consistent.
	I know who I am.
	This is what you're going to get.
	That's it.
	And finding out who you are is something that I've seen it in the biz.
	It's very difficult to find out.
	What am I trying to do?
	What am I?
	Am I funny?
	Am I authoritative?
	I don't know what.
	And also, when you are a shill for a group, When you are a show, whether it's Israel, Palestine, conservatives, the NRA, the NFL, whatever it is, when you are owned by somebody, you're dead.
	Because you're always wondering, am I pleasing my overlord?
	Or do I really believe this?
	That's what's critical.
	That's what's critical.
	I can't say that enough.
	Do you hear what I'm saying?
	There are people that you know are shows for the...
	For example, if you're on certain sports teams, radio shows in New York, you better show for the Yankees or else forget it.
	You're not going to say anything.
	Don't expect anything.
	Don't you ever say anything.
	It makes sense.
	What the hell am I paying you for if you're not going to deliver the message?
	So that's that.
	To show you another example of how this is, Israel has just...
	I'm sitting back and I'm watching this.
	And they were hoping, sort of, that maybe this college campus business is going to shift the mood into an anti-Palestinian but pro-Israel Perspective.
	If that makes any sense to you.
	Does that make sense?
	I think it does.
	I hope it makes sense.
	Does that make sense to you?
	What do I mean by that?
	Israel's moving parts.
	Israel's moving parts.
	Candace wanted to bring up genocide.
	Ben Shapiro should have said, absolutely, let's talk about it.
	And believe me, All you have to do to really jam up Candace.
	Very simple.
	Ask, that's interesting, Candace.
	I respect that.
	What exactly is your basis for using the term genocide?
	This is what I'm going to ask her.
	Not to cross-examine, but to pull out.
	What do you mean by genocide?
	Define this so I think we're on the same thing.
	Do you mean under the ICJ version of it?
	Do you mean the...
	Do you mean the South African quote indictment?
	What precisely do you mean?
	What are you speaking of when you say that?
	When you speak of genocide, what do you mean by that?
	Yes.
	May I ask you, can we agree on something, Candace?
	Yes.
	And this is, you start off with this, this is the kata, you know, you start off with this.
	Number one, does Israel have the right to defend itself?
	Yes.
	Number two, is Hamas a terrorist organization?
	Yes.
	Number three, was October the 7th a terrorist?
	Yes.
	And number four, you know, just do-do-do-do-do-do.
	What would you do?
	How would you respond to this?
	What would you suggest?
	If I'm putting you in charge, if Bibi Netanyahu said, here, Candace, and this is where you're going to get her into a corner.
	And just sit back and keep your mouth shut, Ben.
	Just let her go.
	Let her go.
	Because you realize a lot of it's inextricably impossible.
	What do you do?
	How do I deal with 75 years plus of whatever it is?
	And by the way, who is Hamas?
	Who is?
	Who is?
	What is this group?
	And Candace, if we're trying to go, are we going after terrorism or are we going after Hamas?
	And if I put you in charge, what would be your strategy?
	And what is it that works in that area?
	I'll never forget, there was a thing I read years ago.
	I said, you must understand the Arab mentality, the Middle Eastern mentality.
	There's an expression that an Arab...
	I'm not necessarily endorsing this.
	I'm telling you what I heard.
	The particular phrase was, an Arab or whoever would burn his blanket to kill the fleas.
	I had a friend of mine, a man I met, but in the Israeli, I guess you'd call it the State Department.
	We were talking about 9-11.
	And I said, I thought that George Bush's reaction was absurd.
	He said, okay.
	He says, you know what they think here?
	And he says, I understand what I just said.
	Do you know what they think here?
	Do you know what people think here?
	I said, no.
	He said, they said, that's the America we remember.
	See, because you can apply...
	Do you want to go after Hamas?
	What are you going to do?
	Tell me how you deal with them.
	Do you want to go after them the way Noam Chomsky would?
	Would you like to go after them the way that Medea, what's his name from Code Pink?
	What?
	Who are these people?
	What gets their attention?
	What was the old expression about the guy who hit a...
	Mule between the eyes with a board or something to get their attention.
	Remember the joke too, the scorpion and the frog?
	It's my nature.
	Who are these people?
	What gets their attention?
	Don't tell me, Candice, your version, being here and being in a nice air-conditioned room and podcasting with whatever it is.
	What would you do?
	How do you get their impression?
	And how do you...
	Use and utilize the mentality and the mindset of Hamas then.
	What do you do?
	And believe me, after 10 minutes, she will be going...
	She doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.
	She doesn't know what she's talking about.
	Most people don't.
	Let people talk.
	Tell me what you're going to do.
	Tell me.
	This is not pro-Israel.
	It's not anti-Israel.
	It's the truth.
	What do you do?
	How do you do this?
	What?
	They don't know.
	Well, this is genocide.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Fair enough.
	Now, what I'm doing is I'm shifting it.
	What would you do?
	I'm not talking about is it genocide.
	No, I just changed the subject.
	Okay, well, what would you do?
	No, no, let's talk about genocide.
	Is this or is this not genocide?
	Is this or is it...
	See, enough.
	What she has to do is she has to shift it right back.
	You brought up genocide.
	Don't change the subject.
	Let's stick to what it is.
	Now, what does Ben say?
	What does anybody say?
	War is genocide.
	World War II, Dresden, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Vietnam, name it, it's genocide.
	Could a half a million people kill so far in Ukraine?
	What do you call that?
	Under the rules, Ben shifts it.
	Under the rules, it is...
	The targeting of an ethnical, religious, national, whatever group, in whole or in part, and enlist...
	I'm surprised genocide is not...
	Did you read the definition?
	Did you read the definition?
	And you know what?
	Here's the best part about this.
	Candace, now I'm Ben.
	I'm going to go back and forth.
	Because remember, do you want to understand the argument?
	Or do you want to just...
	Maybe you just want to do platform.
	Media stuff.
	What's the argument here?
	What are you trying to accomplish?
	I can switch back and forth.
	I can be Candace.
	I can be Ben.
	I understand it.
	I understand the issue.
	I understand it.
	I understand both sides.
	I understand both positions.
	I got it.
	I got it perfectly.
	Believe me when I tell you, I got it.
	Now.
	Let me ask you a question.
	What is it that you would like me to do?
	Let's talk about the intent.
	Oh, this isn't, this isn't terrible.
	Did you hear the stuff that Ben Gavir and others said about the Palestine?
	Oh, and they're using that, they use this as an element of the intent portion of genocide.
	Great.
	Let's switch around.
	Would you like me to hear, would you like me to hear, or shall we talk about the intent of Hamas?
	Would you like me to hear that?
	Let's go back to your own U.S. or our own country during Vietnam about what we said about gooks and Charlie and during World War II about the krauts and the nips and the japs.
	Do you want to do this?
	Do you really want to use mindless, racist, and horrible rhetoric as an example of genocidal intent?
	Are you sure about that?
	Do you really want to do that?
	Back and forth, back and forth.
	But no, Ben, you canceled it.
	You canceled it.
	I swear to you.
	And if you really want to know, this is terrific.
	Most good problems do not have a left or right, right or wrong.
	Most are very, very, very simple.
	Very simple.
	Because of the complexity of it.
	Okay?
	So that's that.
	I just can't believe that one.
	I can't believe that one.
	And remember, one of the greatest questions is, and we've had some wonderful questions here, because as you know, I love to bring this one up.
	I mentioned this to you.
	There's a term.
	That, interestingly enough, you will not hear genocide, watch any, and I try to get a quick kind of a smattering of local news, local news here in New York, local news, national news, Fox News, and others.
	And what you will see is you will never hear the word genocide.
	Never.
	It's just not, it's just not, it's not said.
	And number two, And this is my dear friend who will be watching.
	I'm not going to mention her name.
	The word Zionism never comes up in this case.
	And I don't even know if it really is relevant because Americans know nothing about this.
	Know nothing about this.
	Now next, this is the best part too.
	The issue of what is and isn't anti-Semitism is the funniest thing you have ever heard.
	In your life.
	Believe me when I tell you this.
	You cannot believe this term.
	This...
	I thought to myself, you cannot believe...
	Okay, here we go.
	Here we go.
	The Holocaust, remember, I think the IHRA, I think this is the term for anti-Semitism.
	And please, let us begin by saying, all of us understand that we are against anti-Semitism and racism, but the definitions are absolutely, it will tell you in the first two words, the futility of trying to define a thought, okay?
	And more importantly, not only to find a thought, but to weaponize it or to proscribe it.
	Okay?
	Here we go.
	In the spirit of the Stockholm...
	This is from the Holocaust remembrance.
	This is in the plenary in Bucharest decided to adopt the following non-legally binding working definition of anti-Semitism.
	Big mistake.
	Big mistake.
	I'm a lawyer.
	This is what happened when he did with Bill Clinton, when you just find for him what sex is.
	Remember that?
	People don't understand what that was.
	They told him what sex meant, and they gave him a loophole.
	But let me read this to you.
	Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews.
	Stop it.
	Stop it.
	It's a perception?
	Wait a minute.
	Antisemitism is a perception.
	So it's a thought?
	I haven't even got...
	This is what?
	Four words.
	Five.
	It's a perception...
	Let me read this to you.
	Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews.
	Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed towards Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and or their property toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
	So it...
	Is Jewish.
	You mean Jewish?
	Jews?
	Now listen to this one.
	To guide the IHRA, this is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
	The following examples may serve as illustrations.
	Manifestations might include the targeting of the State of Israel.
	Okay.
	Conceived as a Jewish collectivity.
	However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as anti-Semitic.
	Who makes that determination?
	I don't know.
	Anti-Semitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity and it is often used to blame Jews for why things go wrong.
	Now, the obvious anytime you call into effect You know, the suggestion of killing people or hurting people.
	That goes without saying.
	This goes to show you the absolute specious nature, specious, of daring to put into words, to call this anti-Semitism.
	This word has gone the way of racism.
	You've destroyed it.
	Racism means nothing.
	The metal fatigue has just given.
	You've broken this.
	This concept is through.
	It is finished.
	It is done.
	Because whatever it meant before, you've completely killed it.
	You've killed it.
	This was an anti-Semite.
	This is racist.
	You're transphobic.
	It means nothing.
	You've destroyed it.
	You've destroyed it.
	Okay?
	And that is what's important here to address.
	Absolutely critical, critical, critical, critical, critical.
	And you don't really know what's going on.
	You don't recognize this.
	Because you got Ben Shapiro out there.
	Who is it?
	Who picked Ben Shapiro?
	This is your front line?
	What are you doing?
	Be very careful.
	The first thing I would have done, if I were Bibi or Israel or for speaking of American Jewry, I'm going to say, number one, I want to make sure that Ben Shapiro, every time he opens his mouth, Because he just exudes obnoxiousness.
	I want there to be a chyron that says, you do not speak for anyone.
	The views, you know how they always have disclaimers, the views and opinions of Ben Shapiro are only his own.
	You don't want Ben Shapiro, I don't want Ben Shapiro speaking on my behalf about anything.
	Anything.
	Especially if he's trying to get the world to respect me or to back off.
	Absolutely not.
	And the same may go for Candace Owens, but she's different.
	She picks her challenges carefully.
	They don't even understand how obnoxious Ben Shapiro was.
	And when Shmuley came along, remember he was screaming with Piers Morgan, oh my god, what are you doing?
	This is your This is it?
	I said something a while back.
	Nobody even would even listen to me.
	And by that trans stuff, that's done.
	They don't even know it yet.
	We are so tired of that.
	It's over with.
	Metal fatigue.
	It broke.
	When they would have somebody walk out and say, This is a trans, it was a man.
	And some guy would say, you know, I want to have the same respect.
	Wait a minute.
	Hold it.
	This is the person you're picking?
	Yeah.
	What are you, nuts?
	I would have said, give me, ready for this?
	Give me somebody who looks like a woman.
	I know this.
	I know what I'm saying.
	It's almost like, what?
	Yes!
	Give me someone.
	That's a man, yeah.
	Huh.
	Maybe there is something to this.
	Wow.
	That lady was born a man, yeah.
	And no surgery?
	No nothing?
	Yeah.
	Damn.
	Doesn't that make sense to you?
	Doesn't that make sense to you?
	No.
	They don't do that.
	They get the Rachel Levines.
	And they make somebody say, that's what they did.
	I don't understand this.
	I don't understand this.
	Give me the chance.
	Let me put somebody who will make somebody say, you know what?
	I thought this was crazy at first.
	No, they don't do that because they don't care.
	They want to ram it down your throat.
	Don't go with that imagery too much.
	That was a bad selection of words.
	They want to just tell you, screw you.
	We're going to do it this way.
	That's the way it is.
	You either like what we do or not.
	Shut up.
	And you see this pink-haired, nose-studded freak screaming into a TikTok thing?
	Well, that's the way it's going to be.
	So shut up and take it.
	Right?
	They're stupid.
	I don't understand this.
	I don't understand this.
	Who is it?
	Who?
	Tell me.
	And I know these people, and I might be, they might be absolutely adamant in their respect and their support of that which is, you know, Palestinian.
	But I'm saying, do you think this idiot who stands before the world with a keffiyeh screaming about the fact that her food...
	Plan has been discontinued?
	Or somebody with these agent provocateurs, these thugs, these at-poor Antifa types?
	Are you kidding me?
	So I got into, not an argument, but a friend of mine, foreign, says, it's great to see the protests.
	I said, no!
	You don't know what it is.
	When they see this, nobody's sitting back and saying, oh, this is terrific.
	They come across as entitled rat...
	Not rat.
	What am I saying, rat?
	Entitled brats.
	That's what I'm trying to...
	Don't you understand how the stagecraft of this works?
	No!
	No!
	Stand by for a second.
	You want to talk about stagecraft?
	You want to talk about stagecraft?
	How about this man?
	This man who knows exactly a thing or two about selling the greatest product for luxuriation, I think known to Western civilization.

	Can you believe somebody who actually said to Bibi Netanyahu, tell the American public that they, or tell Joe Biden what you can or can't have students say on campuses.
	Can you believe that?
	I couldn't believe it.
	I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
	He's like, what are you, nuts?
	Did you think this one through?
	You're not going to tell us anything.
	You're not winning anybody.
	First of all, the image that you're trying to get around is that Israel controls Congress.
	That's what you're trying to do.
	If I went to Bibi and said, okay, look, I'm going to help you, okay?
	I'm going to help you.
	I'm your PR person.
	First rule.
	They're telling you that you own the Congress.
	So you're not going to tell the Congress what we, as an American citizen, can or can't say.
	This goes to show you the same attitude of arrogance.
	I don't care.
	Don't you care about stagecraft?
	I don't care.
	Remember when Biden had I don't know when it was.
	Some event when he had every seeming trans or pink-haired, nose-studded, tatted freak show up at the White House, including the one who lifted her top up.
	Remember that?
	I'm thinking, what are you thinking?
	What are you doing?
	What are you doing?
	What are you a nut?
	What are you crazy?
	What are you doing?
	How is this helping anybody?
	They live in this bubble, this fishbowl.
	Don't you understand?
	We think this.
	You're going to think this.
	No.
	You need somebody outside who looks at this and says, that's not going to win anybody over.
	You're an idiot if you're doing this.
	You are an idiot!
	Period.
	Nobody understands this.
	Nobody understands stagecraft.
	Look at what Trump did.
	Trump gets it.
	He goes to a fire department.
	They love him.
	How about these frat boys?
	When I heard frat boys, is that proud boys?
	Frat mean like fraternity?
	That was smart.
	I would have picked up the phone.
	And I would have told every Pan-Hellenic group or whatever it is around the country or whatever it is.
	And I'm going to say, you better get your chapter house to follow suit because fraternities are under serious attack as being racist bastions and, you know, pledging disasters.
	All of these horrible disasters from hazing, and you better get your ass out there and join in this maelstrom, this change, this attitude.
	And I want there to be a complete, I want better stagecraft.
	I want black, white, Asian, I want everybody showing that it's cool again to sing the national anthem, to salute the flag.
	Don't bring up Trump.
	It goes without saying.
	You don't need to do it.
	Okay?
	Do it.
	They love this.
	You would think people...
	Do you know what happened?
	Listen to me.
	I love Bernays.
	Did you ever hear the story about Nathan's Coney Island?
	Hot dogs?
	Did you ever hear this one?
	Coney Island in Brooklyn had a hot dog stand.
	And Nathan's is...
	Famous and you go there and you get a Nathan's and whatever it is.
	Okay.
	And I forgot how.
	But the head, maybe Nathan himself, I guess, I'm not sure, but the head of this, decided that he was going to have as part of a I don't know what the word is.
	He was going to have, I guess as a promotion, there was a hospital nearby.
	And he told all the doctors, come by and we'll give you half price for hot dogs or whatever it is, if you wear your white coats.
	And he wanted to juxtapose, and this might have been, I don't know if Upton Sinclair or the jungle or whatever it is, but he wanted to show.
	The health benefits by having all these doctors show up.
	It was brilliant.
	And they took pictures showing all of these doctors wearing white.
	That's what I do.
	I seize in the moment.
	I think of stagecraft.
	I think of the way it looks.
	I think of every time you're out there.
	Ask yourself, what image am I portraying?
	Edie Crowley says, an average woman with breasts would have been arrested at the White House.
	Why wasn't that person?
	That's an interesting point.
	Edie, why wasn't the investigation into whose cocaine that was ever completed?
	Raul Rodriguez says, the smart, the witty, the brave Blair White, thank God.
	Or TG, I guess.
	I don't know what that means, but thank you.
	Yes.
	Ronald Reagan.
	The genius.
	Ronald Reagan.
	Stagecraft.
	Now let me ask you something.
	If you want to win people over, if you want to win people over, if BB or whoever it is, you've got to understand how America works.
	If America, because you've got to ask yourself, if I'm trying to go into the streets of Tehran, It's a different story, obviously.
	But here, Americans are clueless.
	Even people, even the more people, remember, the larger, there's an inverse proportionality to the size of someone's American flag lapel pin and what they know about what's going on.
	Remember that.
	Remember that.
	Okay?
	There's an inverse proportionality between the size, the size, Of their lapel pin.
	Okay?
	They don't know what the hell you're talking about.
	These people don't know anything.
	I mean nothing.
	Pilgrim Media says some people's kids.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	I'm not sure what that means, but thank you.
	I mean that.
	Thank you.
	I don't have to understand what you're saying to appreciate your contribution to the cause.
	I'm interested in how people conceive certain things.
	See, when you're doing a closing argument, you've got to ask yourself this question.
	What is it that I'm trying to do?
	Let's say I'm defending you.
	I'm defending you.
	I understand what exactly I've got to do.
	How do you look?
	What do you think?
	What's going on?
	What's the connection here?
	I don't know.
	How are they?
	What do they think about this?
	I don't know.
	Do we need a new word, anti-Semitic?
	I think that word is just done.
	I think it's like awesome.
	I was at an event the other day for our good friend, the priest who passed away.
	Man, this is somebody I've ever seen.
	She said awesome.
	I mean four times.
	Excuse me.
	I said, are you?
	In awe of what I just said?
	I'm just curious.
	I've got to ask you, because you've said it four times.
	What does this mean?
	It's like a hiccup.
	Awesome.
	To awe.
	To be in awe.
	Your jaw drops.
	You see God.
	It is this profound moment.
	So, anti-Semitism has gone the way of awesome.
	Raul Rodriguez says, Blair White, an American transgender.
	Okay.
	I was thinking of the Blair White Project.
	Remember that?
	That's a Blair Witch Project, which was very, very good.
	You need a new comment.
	If I told you the history of anti-Semitism, oh my god.
	Oh my god.
	Mrs. L. last night, I was watching, I told you the American experience.
	Oh, you've got to see Nazi land in this country.
	And you've also got to understand the notion of the history of anti-Semitism.
	What does this mean?
	Listen, there was anti-Catholicism.
	And anti-religion and racism, certainly.
	People always try to say, well, you know, there was a...
	What am I trying to say?
	There's always been...
	No, no, no, no.
	Robert Wiener from Lafayette College, I think he's retired now, he did a series on this notion of where does this come from?
	Where does this anti-Semitism come from?
	And it goes back.
	Think about this.
	From the very beginning, when Jews would not pay homage or bow before Roman or Greek mythology, myth, you know.
	That's a problem right there.
	Dietary rules.
	Circumcision.
	Different!
	This was way before anything.
	This was historical.
	Understand, read the words of, oh my god, of Martin Luther.
	Read, what did St. Augustine or Augustine do?
	E.D. Crowley says, Mr. Rowe, these are confusing times.
	Thank you.
	Oh, thank you.
	Confusing, like you can't believe.
	Where did this come from?
	What was the deal?
	This is before the notion of deicide, of killing God, but before this cemented part of it, there was this...
	From Constantine to Christianity and what did St. Augustine...
	We pretty much had...
	I think it was St. Augustine in Florida, but Augustine.
	I came along and said, by the way, we're not going to have, because by the way, Christians and Jews were almost, almost identical for a while.
	I mean, for the most part, with the exception of Jesus.
	Because remember, there was this confusion.
	The apostles were Jewish, but when did they become Christian?
	When did Christ become a Christian?
	When did he accept himself?
	Augustine changed this.
	He said, listen, we're not going to mandate circumcision.
	By the way, circumcision Jews and Muslims, come on!
	Shalom, salaam.
	If you don't see the connection with that one, I don't know what to tell you.
	And it starts.
	And it picks up.
	And then this interesting history.
	It's a wonderful story.
	About how thoughts and hatred can be systemic and systematic.
	Therese Pollard says, observe but do not absorb.
	Okay.
	Interesting.
	I always read too much.
	Thank you for that.
	I always read too much into what you're saying.
	What are they saying?
	Did they say what I think they said?
	I don't know what I said.
	But thank you.
	Thank you.
	We get lost in the movement of the murmuration.
	I told you this.
	Birds, when you see, when you see these, how do I say this, these things, these murmurations, when you see birds, I remember the first time I saw this, I used to think this is the greatest thing ever.
	It fascinated me like you cannot believe.
	It fascinated me.
	This was something interesting.
	Look at this.
	I'm going to give you this one here.
	Just a second.
	Let me see.
	Oh, that's not it.
	That's not it.
	This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
	I know exactly what I'm talking about.
	I know who's right and who's wrong.
	Believe me, I know how people view things.
	Not what's true, but I know what people think.
	I want to show you this particular story.
	This is a fascinating piece.
	Hang on a second.
	Let me see if I can get this for you.
	I don't know when I saw this.
	I think as a kid.
	I think Schools of Fish.
	But this is the one that to this day, when I see this, something happens to me.
	Something happens in which I...
	How do we say this?
	I'm not really sure what the word is, but there are some things that just always stuck with me.
	And I always love the way animals, because we are of course animals and that sort of thing too, but I wonder, I love the fact of how these folks, just a second, I love the way how these folks, look at this, watch this right here, look at this, look at this, look at these birds, look at this, this is life to me.
	Do you see this?
	This is a thing in Rome.
	Look at the beauty of that.
	And you don't see one kind of fly off like, hey, where are you going?
	Look at that.
	That is the most beautiful.
	It's like watching a Rorschach test, like an inkblot test.
	It's beautiful.
	This is who we are, my friends.
	This is politics.
	This is America.
	This is everything.
	This is trends.
	This is social media.
	This is the fad.
	This is everything.
	And the reason why they do this is to conserve energy, but also to scare predators, and each of them have to know the notion of the coordination of it, which is fascinating.
	There was something called, I think, the University of, was it Princeton, I think?
	It's called the Rule of Seven, where you have one bird here, and he has three above and three below, and each one watches the one next to them, and they fly like that.
	And that's what we do.
	That's life.
	That's trends.
	Overnight, overnight, all of a sudden, there were people who had tattooed entire areas just overnight, part of this.
	And even though I see that, you will never see me as a member of it.
	I observe it from afar.
	I am not into being one of these people.
	I do not like...
	The crowd.
	I do not like the crowd.
	I do not like how they think.
	But I understand how it works.
	And I know what people do.
	Because remember, I live in a world where I walk around and to me, the world is an insane asylum.
	And also, I don't want to say this.
	It sounds terrible.
	I don't want to say anything.
	It's like...
	It's an insane asylum.
	Sanity is one thing, but it's also, there's a school, it's a special place with special students and a special, you know what I mean?
	Where you watch what you say.
	They have a limited view.
	Americans have a limited, and I can only speak for America, have a limited world view.
	They have a limited take, a limited expression, a limited feel.
	They have a limited ability to grasp the notions of what this is.
	I will not eat green eggs and ham.
	Ah, you Seussian genius.
	Thank you, sir.
	When it comes to politics, I ask people, do you know what this means?
	What do you think this is?
	What does this mean?
	What is protest?
	I'm doing a video before about the notion of, have you heard about Atpor?
	Atpor, O-T-P-O-R.
	Atpor was done Serbian.
	These are groups of people, we saw them on Occupy Wall Street and others, who teach folks how to...
	Organized.
	We saw it in Maidan.
	We saw it with what's happening in Ukraine.
	Nobody knows about that.
	None.
	Americans still believe in this.
	A lot of Americans.
	Maybe the world too.
	That Vladimir Putin decided one day, I'm going to cause a re-coalition, a re-adhesion of this fractured Soviet Union, and I'm going to bring it back.
	It's nuts!
	Nuts!
	They don't understand.
	These things.
	And I know I spend a lot of my time saying they don't understand, but they don't understand.
	And it's so critical for you, if you want to understand this, to disabuse yourself.
	Pull away, strip it down, and look at what this is about, and get rid of all of the flash.
	And recognize that if you're going to watch people, especially on various platforms, Find out who are the people who are the most at home with themselves, who aren't trying to figure out kind of where they're going, who know who they are.
	I'm telling you right now, Alex Jones knows exactly who he is.
	Joe Rogan, exactly.
	Lex Friedman.
	Now granted, I'm not following everybody.
	Those are the ones.
	My friend Sticks, I'm telling you.
	DePolitano, they know exactly who they are.
	You don't see Judge Napolitano all of a sudden say, hey, I got three guys here.
	We got Jerry, we got...
	Hey, because I'm going to be funny.
	I want to be a funny guy.
	No.
	And then next week he's serious.
	Or the next week he's this.
	Or people who are...
	Here's one for you.
	You either get Andrew Tate or you don't.
	And if you don't see through that right away, If you don't see that, that's my litmus test.
	I ask him, what do you think of Andrew Tate?
	He's one of two things.
	This guy is so evil.
	And if you don't see that, you tell me everything.
	You tell me, I got it.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	Appreciate it.
	If you can't see what's going on, that's my latest one.
	While we're on this subject, let's talk about something else.
	Can you find what somebody really wants to be?
	Can you find what somebody really wants to be?
	Can you understand that?
	When somebody goes out of their way to tell you how tough they are, when somebody goes out of their way to say, look at me, I'm in jujitsu.
	Remember when Zuckerberg was, look at me, I'm doing jujitsu.
	And then I think, I think Elon was...
	And then they stopped that.
	He goes, I'm a billionaire.
	What do I care about that?
	He got asked, what are you doing with that one?
	Did you ever watch the duck?
	What's that guy?
	Duck?
	Whatever the duck.
	You know that duck thing with the guys with the beards.
	The bar baits.
	What were they trying to tell you?
	What is Kid Rock trying to tell you?
	What is...
	What's Ted Nugent trying to tell you?
	Always ask yourself, what's the message?
	You know who's very interesting right now?
	Who's looking to land?
	Lara Logan.
	She's looking to land.
	She's trying to figure out where she is right now.
	She's very confused.
	Very confused.
	She's very...
	She's been through a lot.
	And it shows.
	You know who else is very interesting?
	Who is more solid than you realize and more gutsy, but for some reason she's just not kidding.
	Lara Loomer.
	Laura, I mean, Laura Loomer.
	I keep saying Laura, Laura, Laura Loomer.
	Very interesting.
	Knows exactly what's going on.
	Really gets it, but for some reason, they don't...
	Oh, oh, by the way, keep an eye on how people like Oprah and all these people, all of a sudden now they're interested in kids.
	Have you seen this one?
	Oh, we've got to help the kids.
	Where have you been?
	Whenever somebody changes course, whenever somebody adopts a new particular way of thinking, it means one of two things.
	Either they've been warned, change or tune, they're coming after us, or let's give this one a shot.
	Because to them, ideology is, they'll say whatever they have to say to do whatever that's hip, and that's it.
	Ladies, have you noticed all this, Duck Dynasty, thank you, have you noticed this one?
	Please, all of a sudden, menopause.
	Have you heard this?
	Menopause.
	Ladies, we have to address menopause.
	What?
	We have to talk about menopause.
	Did you just discover menopause?
	Yeah.
	How many people?
	Seriously.
	It's just all of a sudden, overnight, boom, menopause.
	We're going to be meeting to talk about menopause.
	What's there to talk about?
	I know I'm not going to talk about menopause.
	I understand that.
	But I know people, everybody I've ever known, aunts, uncles, mothers.
	You know, you get to a certain point.
	Ladies, let's face it.
	It's a reality.
	Is this a mystery?
	You know what?
	I'm hearing this thing called menopause.
	They should call it womenopause.
	I don't know what this thing is.
	It's menopause.
	I don't understand what it is.
	It's fascinating.
	You're fascinated by menopause?
	Oh, yes.
	Absolutely.
	Do you want to talk about menopause?
	What's there to talk about?
	What are you talking about?
	What's going on here?
	Ladies, Do me a favor.
	Will you please, can you tell me this?
	Is there something about menopause I'm missing here?
	Are any of you sitting around saying, I think at a certain age there might be some hormonal shifts and things.
	What is going on here?
	Peter says, I'm getting tired of seeing old women wearing only Panties and bras on TV.
	Look at this.
	Laura Floyd says, menopause of women suffer and it's not discussed how to get through the pain of change in our bodies.
	Why is it not discussed?
	Who the hell is not discussing it?
	Has there ever been a time in this country where anything has not been discussed?
	Let me just ask you something.
	Is anything...
	Look at this.
	Pry Wacky says, this going in all directions, LOL.
	I guess through that glyph.
	Yeah, Pry, can you handle it?
	Can you handle it?
	This is what I've...
	Do you see these things?
	What are they going?
	They're going in all directions.
	No, they're not.
	Yeah, they are.
	They're moving.
	But they're moving on purpose.
	Yeah, but where are these birds?
	They're not flying straight.
	No, Pry.
	That's what they're supposed to be doing.
	It's called a conversation.
	It's called discussion.
	It's called, you know, talking.
	When you sit down and meet somebody, I'm just saying, you sit there and say, hey, we're changing the subject.
	Now you're asking me how my families were before we were talking about the weather.
	Are you changing the subject?
	Yeah.
	Now, ladies and gentlemen, what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to tell you, please.
	Nobody is suggesting that menopause is on board.
	But have you noticed how all of a sudden it's boom!
	Remember when restless leg syndrome?
	Boom!
	Tinnitus?
	Boom!
	It's always been there.
	Always.
	But all of a sudden somebody says, we need to talk about this on TV.
	What?
	We need something new.
	How about menopause?
	There you go.
	Low T. Remember that one?
	Hey man, low T. There we go!
	Talk about that!
	It's always been there.
	Do you see what it is?
	Always ask yourself.
	Why are people doing something?
	Nobody is doing anything on the internet, as it were, because they want to help people.
	It's to find out what the new labeling is.
	What's the new marketing?
	What's the new topic?
	How can we make money?
	What's the newest one?
	Want to talk about mental health?
	Talk about that.
	Depression?
	Eh, been there.
	What else?
	Weight?
	Been there.
	Fasting.
	Ooh, that's good.
	We'll talk about fasting for a while.
	It's always been there.
	Menopause.
	Okay, there we go.
	Sparky, by the way.
	Doog morning.
	By the way, the thing that a flock of birds does, the school of fish does, is another forbidden word on the superchats.
	Murmuration?
	That's the strangest thing.
	It's the strangest thing.
	All right, dear friends.
	Listen, you have a wonderful day.
	Thank you so, so much.
	I appreciate it.
	Sparky, thank you.
	Pilgrim Media, thank you.
	Therese Pollard, thank you.
	Edie Crowley, Raul Rodriguez.
	Pilgrim Media.
	And thank you.
	Oh, oh, remember a while back, too?
	Remember when men were going onto the woods with their drums and trying to get back into their masculinity?
	Remember that one?
	Remember that?
	Remember that?
	What the hell is that all about?
	I'm having such a hard time.
	Oh, look at this.
	Edie Crowley says, Mr. Rell, you spend too many plates for some folks.
	That is true.
	Remember a while back?
	Oath keepers and men going into the woods with other men.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, okay.
	And we're going to get in touch with our masculinity because I can't be a man.
	Really?
	Okay.
	Are you having a hard time with that?
	Yeah, all right.
	And, uh...
	That was big.
	Incredible.
	It was so funny.
	We were walking by a church the other day and they said, AA meetings.
	Like, whatever it was.
	And I thought, isn't that something?
	Isn't that something?
	A group of people deciding that they are involved in just this non-governmental, kind of an organizational, voluntary.
	I thought it was terrific.
	Sparky says, yep, couldn't even send it by itself.
	It's demented.
	All right, dear friends, you have a great and glorious day.
	Thank you so much.
	We'll be back tonight at 7 p.m.
	I got loads of videos today dropping on a variety of subjects, so please pay attention to that.
	Also pay attention, again, how this, as an example, how Ben Shapiro just blew...
	He owned gold himself.
	Unforced error.
	Decided to take on Candace Owens for reasons I do not understand.
	I do not understand any of it.
	Why are you doing...
	In a world of discussion and debates, I don't think you should take every debate.
	Sometimes people want to, you know...
	But this one you wouldn't want to do?
	And cement yourself?
	Not only that...
	Obviously, you came across as being frightened by her, and she won.
	To think the smartest man in the world actually said, yeah, that's a good idea.
	Let's go to the arbitrator behind her back and get that kind of a non-disparagement thing set aside.
	I mean, what?
	Insane.
	Now, dear friends, as I've told you before, and I'm going to say it again, Mrs. L is doing the most important work.
	Ever.
	Ever, ever, ever.
	I want you to follow her right now.
	Here is the link.
	I'm going to put it up right now.
	And all you have to do is just click right here and it goes right to the subscription page for Lens Warriors on YouTube.
	Right there.
	Do me a favor, dear friends.
	Do it.
	One more time.
	Do her and do yourself a favor.
	Follow Lens Warriors on YouTube.
	Alright, great!
	Great and glorious fiends and friends have a duke day, as we say.
	Don't ever change your mind that sincerely.
	And until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
	The show's over.
	Sue you.
