I don't think I can put anything into perspective tonight.
I don't think there's any need for me to even try to attempt to set this up, to explain ahead of time.
What we're looking at.
I don't know about you.
If you feel this, if you've ever felt excited before, if you've ever known excitation, if you've ever known this culmination of something that's not an athletic event, not a concert, not your favorite team, but something that is historic, something that will be in the record books.
Something that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Second time says Grover Cleveland.
Now I know we're speaking ahead of time.
You're right.
You're right.
Because technically speaking, I understand that there really is not...
We don't know yet who is going to win.
But he's going to win.
And we know he's going to win.
And we all know that.
But this is historic.
This is historic.
There is nothing like this.
Tonight is going to be...
One of those events, I'm saying this again, I know I sound perhaps a bit trite.
Maybe you think I'm overdoing it.
This is going to be something you're going to tell your kids about.
You were there.
We were there.
Friends, we were there from the beginning.
From the very beginning of all this, we were there.
We've been through hell and back.
Did you ever think?
That you would see such twisting, circuitous, confused changes of events.
I don't understand any of this.
I can't explain any of this.
I don't understand.
I'm glad it happened this way.
I don't understand.
I don't see it.
I don't grasp it.
It still blows my mind.
You have to ask yourself the question, does your team win or does the other team lose?
It's a little bit of both, isn't it?
If you think about it.
Your team can do a wonderful job winning and being successful and getting the...
But!
But!
The other team has to do something to not beat you.
And the other team collapsed.
Ladies and gentlemen, they collapsed.
Thank you, Mary Williamson.
Thank you, dear, dear, dear Mary, dear friend, friend of the show, friend of the clerisy, friend of the conspiratorium, been here.
This is incredible.
I don't know if I'm going to contain my...
I might soil myself this evening.
I might.
I might become incontinent.
Continent of Asia.
When he takes that stand tonight, when he takes that stage, dear God!
What he's been through, stop for a second, just think, the court cases, the millions and millions and billions of dollars he's lost, billions, being your president, billions.
It's just, it's incredible.
He never stopped.
He could have just as easily said, you know what?
That's enough.
In fact, he could have very easily said, you know, I'm a distraction.
I'm going to step down from this because, you know, I don't know if I'm really doing what I intended to do.
I think I'm just going to step down from this.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
I'm going to step down from this.
I'm going to let somebody else take over.
I'm going to let maybe a J.D. Vance.
Maybe I'm just getting in the way.
Maybe if I went away, they would let the political process continue.
Maybe I'm the impediment.
Maybe I'm the bezoar.
Maybe I'm the clog in the sewer.
Maybe I'm it.
Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And all...
I'm saying to you, this is the part that I think is the freakiest.
It's as though a force bigger than anything we ever imagined said, don't worry, I'll take care of this.
Watch what I do.
You're not going to believe.
You want to see some magic?
I'll show you magic.
You think your prayers are no good?
No, I'm serious.
I talked to a dear friend of mine.
He's an evangelical minister.
I've known him for, oh my God, 40, who knows, years.
And I'm telling him, I said, your prayers were answered in ways that I never even thought of.
It's as though, as I told him, it's as though God said, I'm not just going to just let him win and that's it.
We're going to have him, sad to say, spend all this money and lawyers and time away from, oh my God, the time away from campaigning.
The lawsuits and the prosecutions, We're the greatest things ever.
It did more.
It was almost like somebody saying, trust me, I know what I'm doing.
This may seem like you've lost, but you have no idea.
All these people, they're just rearview mirror.
E. Jean Carroll.
Oh, she got some bucks gone.
That case is gone.
Dusty Saddles, or whatever her name is.
Michael Cohen, gone.
Tish James, Judge Ingeron, gone.
Alvin Bragg, who?
Who?
That case is so, and I'm not even sure if it is going to stand after the immunity case, which I think the Supreme Court really, I mean, the Supreme Court really did a number.
Because it now demands of prosecutors and the like to have separate hearings!
To have hearings!
To determine whether he had this immunity.
And then they fell.
The Supreme Court, SCOTUS, Jack Smith just disappeared.
The cases just disappeared.
The Mar-a-Lago case, which was really serious.
That was serious.
That was a serious case.
That was just documents.
There was nothing.
There was no defense for that.
There was no nothing.
There's no nothing.
By the way, dear friends, I want you to understand something.
Immediately following this, we're going to be watching, Mrs. Alden and I are going to be watching and perusing the convention.
In addition, In addition, we're going to be meeting immediately afterwards.
This is the end of the convention.
This is it.
After the acceptance speech, come right back.
Whatever time, 11?
I don't know.
Because we will have to bask in the glory.
This is the most incredible thing.
I just was thinking today about where he's been.
The ups and downs, the curves, the courtrooms, the Robert De Niro, all of these people.
Ladies and gentlemen, E.D. Crowley, we are up and running.
We're ready to go, girl.
We're ready to go.
We are ready to go in this.
This is the most incredible thing in the world.
This is something which is beyond...
I think beyond comprehension, because when you stop and you think about it, it blows my mind.
Then, then, then, then, then, then, after all is said and done, after all is negotiated, after he negotiates and maneuvers his way through this labyrinth, through this minefield, through this legal minefield, then, and only then, then, what do we have?
Then we have something different.
Then we have this event.
So mind-blowing.
This event, which is not just...
It's not just George Bush ducking that feller throwing shoes or...
Remember there was Squeaky Fromm and...
Jane, what was her name?
There were two people who tried to kill for Squeaky Fromm and Jane, I forget the other one.
Luckily that didn't work.
I mean, it's happened before.
There's others that Ronald Reagan was hit and made it even though many believe that it was because of that particular event.
And the way the blood was either transfused or returned, whether it wasn't warm, that may have precipitated his Alzheimer's or what have you.
In any event.
But this one, I don't have to tell you this.
The ear.
Unbelievable.
This one little And people who've had that happen, people who've been in war, people have heard that somebody says it's like a steel mosquito.
Just fly.
And you only can hear it if it's close enough to hear it.
If it's over here, you're not going to hear anything.
It's not going to break.
You wouldn't be able to sleep.
Because it would occur to you, do you know what I missed?
Okay, then there's that.
So anyway, then you turn to God and you say, and by the way, I'm not trying to be blasphemous, please, I'm not.
I'm serious in this presentation.
It's almost like a movie.
And then you say, okay, God, now we've had enough.
We've had enough of this configuration and this help, God.
Thank you very much for this.
And God says, oh, no, no, no, no, I'm not done yet.
You're not done yet?
I'm not done yet.
You're not done yet?
No.
All right.
Okay.
Well, what will it be?
What's next?
What's going to happen next?
And God says, watch.
Watch how they react.
Who?
The enemy.
They're going to take something where they've already lost, but they're going to dig themselves deeper.
They're going to laugh about it.
They're going to claim conspiracies.
They're going to do everything that you can think of.
They're going to do everything.
I mean everything.
To mock this.
Laugh at it.
They're going to be...
Just when you think they can't get lower.
Just when you think they can't show any less class.
Just when you think it's impossible.
It's impossible.
Anybody else would say, just let this thing go.
Just ignore it.
Go to other commercials.
Don't bring it up.
Don't even let people know.
Who knows?
Maybe there are people watching who don't know anything about these shootings.
Don't bring it up.
Don't make fun of the bandage.
Just let it go.
Pretend you're extending your feelings of gratitude and congratulations and good wishes and way to go, old sport.
Oh, no, no.
No, they're not going to do that.
They go in for the kill.
The Joy Reads, who I think is absolutely, positively, out of them all, maybe the most demented of them all.
No, no, no, listen, listen to me.
I know sometimes we say people are crazy or demented.
I'm not kidding you.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not kidding you.
I'm not kidding you.
You don't recognize what they're doing.
It's just incredible.
But anyway, but God says, oh no, no, no, I'm not done yet.
You're not done yet?
No, no, no.
In addition to exposing the Shadow government enemy, in addition to all that, we're also going to kill DEI.
We're not done with this.
This thing just keeps giving and giving and giving and giving.
Because the person who's responsible for it, this is going to be this Melissa McCarthy, kind of a Butterball, what do they call it?
Secret Service Barbie, this clown, this O-Fish.
Fredo with the gun trying to holster her weapon.
Looking confused in her little suit.
Not even tall enough.
Just...
Not to be confused.
Remember, there was a woman on that.
I know Secret Service agents don't like to be identified.
I understand that.
But still, it's unbelievable.
Then, we're still not done.
Then we find out that the Secret Service itself is incompetent, that it's DEI again, that it's part of this Jill Biden liked her, and these sick people who live in a world who...
I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
Yes, I know they have their own particular perspective.
Yes, I know they're...
They're either progressive or woke or whatever the world is.
Yes, I understand this.
I grasp that.
I understand it completely.
But this is demented.
They didn't even grant secret service protection to Bobby Kennedy after his family, those rat bastards, showed up at the White House, basically...
To declaim and disavow themselves.
By the way, side note.
A little time out here.
Lou Dobbs, we found out, passed away.
Lou Dobbs was a great, great, great man.
Lou Dobbs hit two things out of the park, for sure.
Illegal immigration.
And the North American Treaty, North American Union, he was talking about globalism before anybody.
I was on his CNN show many times, did a radio show with him for United Radio.
Good guy, great guy, absolutely.
So advanced was out there.
He got it.
Absolutely got it.
Good for him.
And Bob Newhart.
Bob Newhart did something that was absolutely historic in entertainment.
First, Bob Newhart was one of the people who did the telephone routine.
Remember that?
Andy Griffith did it.
Bob Newhart did a routine where he was on a plane and across from the aisle was Hitler.
And the way Bob Newhart did it, because it was so absurd, but in the spirit of Bob and Ray and Bob Newhart, don't look now, but he did the telephone routine.
Andy Griffith did it.
And they called it football!
Remember that one?
Do you know who first did the telephone routine?
Georgie Jessel.
He was like, Mama!
Mother!
And Georgie Jessel!
And this is my bond hero!
And this is my bond hero!
Bob Newhart did the button-down mind of Bob Newhart.
They said at the time, Are you crazy?
An album?
Of comedy?
You hear it one time and it's not like a song.
It broke every record.
I forget if it was Columbia.
Then he was in the Bob Newhart show.
Then the second iteration of that where he was, I'm Daryl, Daryl.
I mean, and the finale.
Do you remember the finale of the Bob Newhart show?
When Suzanne Plachette was there, it was all a dream.
I mean, it was Bob Newhart, whose best friend was Don Rickles.
Absolutely, positively, was incredible.
I don't say that about everybody.
I don't say that about everybody.
One more thing.
Recently, we were talking to...
Great friend of ours, it was the widow of, I mean, it's not so stringent, but another great friend who passed away fairly recently was Pat Cooper.
And Pat Cooper was one of the greatest stand-ups, best roaster ever.
And if you hear this fellow, Sebastian Maniscalco, who's very good, very, very good, but what is his thing about the Italians?
It was Pat Cooper.
To make jokes about the sauce and whatever it is.
And there was nobody like him.
So anyway, I just want to give you three shout-outs.
Pat passed away before we were talking today about him.
He's been on my mind today.
But Bob Newhart, understand something.
Remember, just because younger folks may look at him and say, no, no, no, no.
He was huge.
That's why when I tell people, the biggest person ever in the music business, or anything for that matter, entertainment, pound for pound.
Since day one, was Bing Crosby, who did film, radio, music, radio, but also sheet music.
So it's always perspective.
You see, I was explaining today to someone, understand the absolute value of something.
Absolute value is an important term.
Absolute value.
By the way, Jackie Mason, I knew him very well also.
Jackie Mason and I, oh yes, we did one time an event.
It was the Catholic League put it up and it was to protest the fact that the Empire State Building would not do anything in terms of the colors or anything to commemorate The life and times of Mother Teresa after she passed away.
And unbeknownst to all of us, for reasons we will never understand why, the Empire State Building decided not to do this.
So there was a protest.
And I was there.
Jackie Mason was there.
And Jackie Mason gave out the most expletive-laden thing you have ever, ever heard.
But he was phenomenal.
So, there was such a greatness.
Freddie Roman, Dick Capri, one of my...
You probably don't know him, but he was part of Catskills on Broadway.
Oh my God!
And when the Friars Club was still around, now it's gone.
But it was just incredible.
I remember one time being at a...
At an event, it was for...
Who was it who passed away?
I forget who it was.
But I was at a table with Freddie Roman, who was wonderful.
Norm Crosby.
Norm Crosby.
Henny Youngman was there one time.
I had lunch with Soupy Sales.
And...
We were in the dining room, and Henny Youngman was ordering something, and he said, the soup!
And Soupy Sales says, what?
I mean, it was like a joke.
That whole group just is no more, obviously.
And I'm not saying it because I'm being nostalgic, just for the sake of being nostalgic.
Not everybody was that great.
I never understood Milton Berle, ever.
Ever.
Never understood.
Never got it.
Never.
For the life of me.
Red Skelton?
Never understood it.
Myron Cohen I got.
There were others that were just very, very Shelly Berman.
Sometimes there's Jackie Leonard.
A lot of these, you know, fat Jackie Leonard.
There were all the Jackies.
Jackie Leonard, Jackie Mason.
Did you ever remember Jackie Gale?
Watch, there's a show called Tin Men.
And it was Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss.
They played aluminum siding salesmen.
And Jackie Gale was the...
He was big.
He was also friends with Lenny Bruce.
But he was one of the salesmen.
And they would meet in the morning.
Or they would have breakfast.
And he would do these little riffs.
He says, last night was Bonanza.
He had the lisp.
Bonanza.
Did you ever remember how Ben Cothright, his sons, they're all 40 years old?
They don't look alike at all.
Hey Ben, let's go to the Ponderosa.
And he just did these riffs.
It was incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Remember Erwin Corey?
I met him when he was 100 and towards the end of this.
But I have just utter and total respect for what they did.
For the significance of the event.
Which brings me back to why this is going to be incredible tonight.
What you're going to see.
It's going to change everything.
It's going to change everything.
And I'm not one, again, you may not believe this, I don't think everything is necessarily noteworthy.
I don't think everything is, you know, wow.
But this is.
We've been through this.
We've been through this.
This is our ninth year since 2015 when Trump came down the escalator.
Nine years of this we've been through.
And we've been steadfast.
And it's been brutal.
Brutal.
I just, and there were some times when you're thinking, you know, maybe if he did give up, maybe it'd be better for everybody.
A lot of people, you know what, maybe this is just, it's not that they won, but it's just not worth your time.
Enjoy your life.
Enjoy your family.
You want to play golf?
Who needs this?
You were the President of the United States.
You can always say, okay, he won, but it was rigged and that's it.
But Trump said, uh-uh.
No.
No.
You're not going to do this again.
Steve says, Biden can't quit.
Good men run.
What brung you?
Well, You know, there's talk about Adam Kinzinger, believe it or not, and Liz Cheney jumping ship for the...
I mean, they're talking such insanity.
But here's the point, and I ask you this question.
I thank you, by the way.
Dear friend Steve, thank you, sir.
This is the part that I don't get.
These are supposedly smart people.
Smart people who were a part of this thing.
Who one day, like, oh, like, what's his name?
Steven Spielberg.
How Spielberg, not Spielberg, Katzenberg and others said, hey, we're not going to give you any money.
What do you mean?
Well, we're not going to give you any money because what you did was you hid from us the fact that he was this crazy.
You hid from us.
You what?
You hid from us.
We didn't know he was this bad.
You don't understand.
You hid from us the fact that he was this bad.
He was this crazy.
We had no idea.
You had no idea?
None whatsoever.
It was June 27th.
Then we found out.
You found out then for the first time?
Yes.
You found out then.
Dear God!
It makes absolutely no...
Okay.
You didn't know?
I didn't know.
You're in show business?
Yes.
And when you have, I don't know, productions and you have musical and albums and don't you know how to kind of keep an eye on, you know, stars and people?
Yes.
You mean to tell me if you ran into Biden, when you were walking him, and he was after G7, that didn't get your attention?
Absolutely not.
That didn't get it.
Nope.
Not G7.
That wasn't it.
What got us was June 27th.
That's what did it.
I can't believe what I'm even...
This is the one I...
I don't believe it, but I don't understand why they're saying it.
I don't believe any of it.
You really mean this?
Yes.
We had no idea.
None whatsoever.
None.
We had no idea.
You lied to us.
Lied.
This is the most incredible thing in the world.
Think about this.
And now they're talking about the following.
All the money that was originally allocated or pledged, if you will, donated to Biden and to what's-her-name.
Cannot be returned.
You dig what I'm saying?
Cannot be returned.
Thank you, Asunta Madone.
Thank you.
And Tahuya!
Been with you longer than I can remember.
Probably be with you even more.
Literally, bro.
Thank you, Tahuya.
Good man.
Good man.
Absolutely.
None of this stuff?
I'm sitting back, I'm thinking, wow.
I can't believe what I'm saying.
Wow.
None of it makes any sense.
But we're not done yet.
Wait until the Vance debate with Kamala Harris.
And Kamala Harris is so stupid.
She honestly, literally, bro, literally, I don't think she understands what's happening.
She doesn't understand.
She won't know what happened.
This is a person who stood up and said, and the community bank is the community.
Now, I don't know about you, but most people say, come here.
Kamala, if I hear you say any of that one more time, if you riff, and I know you're the vice president, but you listen to me, if you dare riff, If you ever go off on a tangent, if you ever decide that you're going to just think about something, you're going to get old Deepak Chopra on us.
Life is, you know, just stop.
We're going to give you the bullet point, you're going to say these things, and that's it.
We've got this old man who basically sounds better than you.
Because when you speak, it's just, it's logoreic nonsense.
It is complete and total gibberish.
It doesn't even make any sense to reach back and know not committed, not connected to the past of which we are having seen and been and understood.
Not as a unit of individuality or singularity, but of duality.
Joined and conjoined in a spiritual placenta, if you will.
Almost tethered umbilically through some, I don't know, psycho...
psychonormative wormhole.
This is Erwin Corey.
I can't...
Have you ever found yourself saying, they're pulling a joke on me.
This can't be happening.
No, no, no, no.
This is a...
They're pulling a joke on me.
This is all about me.
They can't be serious.
Katzenberg didn't know this until June 27th.
Well, what the hell is going on here?
It's the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
White Monkey says we must be unburdened by what has been.
Yes!
Yes!
Indeed.
Thank you for that.
I was looking tonight.
Don't ask me why.
There was a Stanford Medical Review on how to do Parkinson's testing when you do an appraisal.
They had Gates tests and one of them is bradykinesia.
Which is the first.
You know, they have him do this stuff and big and little and touch fingers.
And then there's all kinds of stuff.
And one of the classic movements is his movement.
It's kind of that sort of scary.
Parkinson's does not necessarily require the tremor.
So here is a fellow who...
For all practical purposes, and I think I told you this, but a while back, his medical team says what you really need, more than anything else, is a walker.
You need a walker.
And they said, you cannot have a walker.
He says, no, no, you don't understand.
He needs a walker.
And they said, I don't think you understand.
We can't have the candidate in a walker.
They said, he's going to fall.
And they said, so what?
He can't be in a walker.
Do you understand this?
Under no circumstances can he be in a walker.
And they said, but he's going to fall.
And they said, so what?
We repeat again.
These people didn't even care.
He was wearing the thick-soled shoes.
They were surrounding him in these buddy systems, so if he fell, they were there to catch him.
No, no, you can't write this.
And they said before, we cannot have him.
How cruel is this?
This is the sickest thing in the world.
And one of the sickest is Jill Biden.
Jill Biden understands something.
It's over.
She's going to end up going back to Wilmington.
She's got this coot.
God only knows what liability she's looking at.
They're looking at.
LLCs.
All of this stuff happened.
Nobody can even tell.
Johnny Mazz, our friend, says, since you like wrestling like I do, and this means nothing, But Hulk Hogan just posted he's all in for Trump.
Fun to hear.
Hulk Hogan, thank you, John.
Hulk Hogan, Terry Bulea from Tampa, went to Robinson High School, was part of even like Sterling Golden, I think was one of his names.
He was also, he played bass in a group called, was it Faces?
Not Faces, something like that.
He played bass, this kind of a goofy guy.
Oh, yeah.
Worked with Gordon.
A tremendous athlete.
Good guy.
Good guy.
Trump's got a lot of people that people like.
I don't know how that converts to other folks.
Do you know whose, think about this, whose endorsement would be probably one of the most Important.
Think about this.
If you had anybody, anybody, anybody, anybody to endorse, who would you want?
You got one person and one famous person, one famous person, I'll grant you to endorse Trump.
One person.
Who would it be?
One person.
Who is it?
Oh, wait just a second.
I've got a few.
The person who can bring in more people or cross more demographics you can't get.
Who would it be?
Think about that one.
And it doesn't mean somebody you like.
It doesn't mean somebody that you care about.
It doesn't mean there's somebody who...
Rand Paul.
Oh, for God's sake, please.
Joe Rogan.
Who said that?
Who said that first?
Yep.
Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan is one.
Raul Rodriguez says, what are the thoughts of Tim Conway?
What are your thoughts of Tim Conway?
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Taylor Swift?
Absolutely.
Now, which one?
Number one.
Joe Rogan would be, okay.
Taylor Swift.
Elon Musk already endorsed Trump.
George Strait, no.
That's already there.
Oprah?
No, no.
Oprah's not good at all.
Ready for this?
You're going to think I'm nuts.
Number one would be Rogan for one.
That'd be terrific.
But that's a group he already has.
Rogan, seriously, is with Trump.
Everybody is.
And Rogan, there's nobody...
There's no...
He can't be for Biden.
I'm going to say this and you're going to laugh at me.
Beyonce.
Beyonce.
Not Cat Williams.
Not Chappelle.
We know that.
Somebody who's like, whoa.
If she gave the...
That would be it.
Now, of course, she cannot do that because of the fact...
Because of the fact that she is so tied to the satanic cults of the group that own her and her, quote, husband.
Those people have more of an impact than anything you can imagine.
And they've been deliberately outside of the realm.
You see, what I want to do is this.
I want to make voting for Trump.
Cool.
Cool.
It's a sign of being gangster.
Or being...
I'm going to go back to saying something.
And I want you to listen to me.
And I know if you've just tuned to me, Uncle Lenny is going to give you the tattoo thing.
You don't understand this.
You can't.
Before your very eyes, all of a sudden, Overnight, people started to get the most hideous sleeve tattoos.
Every digit, every toe, every knuckle, every collarbone.
Then it went up the neck and across the face and the forehead and the eyes and the tears.
Every single, every bit of dermal real estate ultimately affected by this thing called tattooing.
And it was permanent.
And it's hideous and grotesque.
Why?
Because somebody said, if you want to be cool, this is what you do, bro.
Literally.
You get tattoos.
And they said, okay.
And they did it like you cannot believe.
And I sat back and I still think, I can't believe this.
Who sounded the alarm?
I don't know.
It just happened.
Either happened spontaneously or somebody tried to copy somebody else, but it was just the biggest thing overnight.
And that taught me right there, if I can tap into, if I can make people do things, if I can make people do things, that's cool.
For example, I told you this.
In the world of Rogans and Theo Vaughn and other people, they're talking about what?
Not drinking, being in recovery, doing all of this stuff, giving up drugs, giving up booze, living a clean life.
It's cool now.
Forget the TV.
It's got to be cool.
I always thought one time, if ever I could do an ad that came out and had famous, I don't know, hip-hop stars or rock stars who said, I don't drink.
Don't drink.
Never did.
Don't smoke.
Don't do drugs.
And to have this list, one after another, many of them wouldn't want to do it because that may give the impression that they're not cool.
Mick Jagger lives almost a Spartan existence.
Look at him.
You think Mick Jagger eats bacon?
I mean, he may dabble, but he watches what he works.
I mean, he is the...
Forget anything about, you know...
People doing ultra-marathons, Mick Jagger.
Mick Jagger.
So what I'm trying to tell you is simply this.
I want people to understand what is happening.
Now, tonight's going to be the end of round one.
Now, he's going to get a tremendous boost in the numbers, as you always do after the convention.
Always.
He got a tremendous boost before, after June 27th.
June 27th.
Then came July 13th.
It was the shooting.
That put him in mythical.
You don't know what that does to people.
You don't know this.
Since the beginning of time inherent in us, in our Electrical circuitry, so to speak, through the abysidarian kind of interstitial platforms of our imagination.
We've always believed in people like the holy man, the shaman, the ninja, the knight, the, you know, the...
The people who are...
The samurais and the people who were special.
They were godlike.
We've always enjoyed the rawness.
There's something about magical.
The whole thing about Alexander the Great.
Even in battle, these people who seem to be impervious.
There's something about it.
It's mythical.
It's patron saint-like.
It's who we are.
That's something that I don't think anybody really...
Grass.
There are people who are thinking, oh my God.
And as long as he wears that bandage, it just reminds you.
And I hope tonight, when he speaks, he doesn't even bring it up.
I just say, I'm just glad to be here.
And I thank almighty God.
And I want you to remember to treasure life, to appreciate.
Oh my God.
You're so right.
He doesn't have to say anything.
No Sleepy Joe.
No nothing.
You don't have to.
Mr. President, if you are listening to me, please, if there's some way that I, through some samurai telepathy, some ninja telepathy, some Praetorian Guard channel, some wormhole I can connect, please, you don't have to make fun of anyone.
They've done it for themselves.
The ultimate would be not even to mention Joe Biden.
But just say things like, we do not leave our doors unlocked those days over, and we do not leave our borders unprotected.
It is that simple.
We do not leave our children and our most vulnerable to be experimented on.
By people practicing some weird form of demented religion that makes no sense.
We, and then we go on and on and on.
Don't even mention Bill Biden.
You don't have to mention Biden.
You don't have to mention his name once.
It'll drive him crazy.
Give us a vision.
What do you want?
This is a country of heterogeneity.
This is a country of every conceivable.
You saw Look at J.D. Vance.
Look at him.
Only in America can somebody whose parents...
Father, I'm going to watch that hillbilly elegy.
My God!
This story is...
The book is...
They can't keep it in stock.
And his wife...
I mean, this...
You talk about multicultural.
That is the most beautiful thing in the world.
That, to me, is America.
America is very simply this.
You do what you want.
You love whom you want.
Just keep it to yourself, or not keep it to yourself, but don't clobber me with it.
If you want to marry somebody, fine.
Fine.
That doesn't define who you are because you marry somebody of a different race.
That's fine.
We don't do DEI here.
We don't speak DEI.
We don't care.
Just don't care.
We want to live in a world where if you're good at something, you're good.
And we don't have quotas.
And we don't have little check-off boxes.
And we don't have people like Melissa McCarthy with a gun.
We're done.
That thing is through.
I want to go back to merit.
Where men are men and boys are boys and girls are girls.
That's just the simplest idea.
And listen to me when I tell you this.
There are people who will say, you know, I know the border is important.
I don't really live in a border state.
I don't really know about the border.
I know people in San Diego who don't really know.
This is where the illegal immigration or illegal aliens are just pouring over the border.
They don't see anything.
They know nothing about it.
San Diego and La Jolla and all that area, they don't see it.
They don't see it.
So that's not a big issue for them.
When you talk about economy and inflation and the Fed, no, no, that's not a crime.
A lot of people, they don't really understand crime.
There's a lot of folks who say, we really don't have crime here.
Most people in this country have never been burgled.
Most people have never been attacked or robbed.
Never!
Most people have never.
We're a pretty good...
Most people have never gotten into car accidents either, but that doesn't mean we don't wear a seatbelt.
Things are okay.
But here's the story.
That is so perfect.
Everybody says, wait a minute, what?
Men and women are different.
And they want to pass, by law, statutory definitions that erase the dissimilarity between men and women.
That is the thing.
And the people who go the most nuts over that, black folks.
The most conservative bunch of folks you've ever met.
Absolutely old-time religion.
They don't understand any of this crap.
I'm telling you.
Nobody does.
That's the number one issue.
That's the one everybody can understand.
What?
That's right.
And Gavin Newsom, who one day they want to be the next, and he'll replace Joe, passed the law that said not only can kids secrete and hide the fact that they're going to change their gender, but what they're doing is schools have to keep it quiet.
We're going to kill parental autonomy, parental primacy.
That means that your kids, they can take your kids away.
And if your kid dares to suggest, perhaps at the behest or at the inspiration of some crazy teacher who confused your kids about what boys and girls are, they take your child away and guess what?
Not a damn thing you can do about it.
You want that?
That's the issue.
That's the issue.
I can go.
I can go to people who can say, listen, I'm in Chugwater, Wyoming.
We don't have that.
They would say, what?
But if I said, you know, on the southern border, well, I don't live on the southern border.
Yeah, but they come and go, well, you know, that's their problem.
But this one, ideologically, it drives people absolutely crazy.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders was so good.
I almost didn't recognize her the other night.
She's terrific.
And she's the one who coined that great line, they said, or whoever coined it.
This is not about left and right.
It's about normal and crazy.
These are crazy people.
Think about this.
Listen to me.
Stop what you're doing.
Listen to how important what I'm saying to you.
When was the last time you said, hey, listen?
Oh, Trump's arriving?
Uh-oh.
Well, listen.
That was Mrs. L. She's signaling to me.
I'm going to be watching this, okay?
So, Tahuya, I want to thank you, my friends.
Oh, Amy WC, I love you, Lionel.
We love you, too.
Raul, thank you.
Raul, Johnny, Maz, White Monkey, Tahuya, Asunta Maloney, Steve, Edie, and Mary.
I'm going to watch this as are you.
We're going to watch this masterpiece tonight.
This is, I am telling you, yet again, this is absolute history.
And then remember, immediately after this is done, immediately, we're going to meet here again.
10 o 'clock, 11 o 'clock, I don't know.
Whenever it is, whenever it's over, come right back here and we'll break it down.
Make sure you take notes.
I want to hear what you thought.
Find out particular meanings.
If you watch this and you remember something, write the time, roughly the time, so we know what you're talking about.
Keep track of it.
Listen and find out what was it that stuck with you.
Not what was theoretically the most important, but what was it that stuck home with you?
What was it?
All right?
Okay, my friends.
Let me get my hat on.
Oh, oh, here's my The Rules Have Changed hat.
This is the one I've got.
I love this one.
The Rules Have Changed.
It's a different world.
This is in 2016.
This is in 2020.
And not just because of the time.
It's a different everything.
Different enemies.
Different desires.
A different world.
All right, dear friends.
Do I have your word?
We'll meet back afterwards.
Let's all watch this.
And remember, you are seeing history.
God bless America.
God bless President Trump.
This is it.
Oh my God.
I am, I am horripilating.
I am tumescent.
I am turgid.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
All right, dear friends.
Let's watch the convention.
Have a great and glorious night.
Catch you later, right after the show.
And don't forget, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
And we'll see each other later.
