Tonight's going to be one of the most, to me, one of the most interesting nights ever in terms of the discussion matter by virtue of the multiplicity, the, dare I say, the...
The amount of information that we are seeing, and I am seeing, that is so monumentally fascinating, I don't even know how to put it into words.
So much.
First, dear friends, let me say welcome.
Thank you so much for being a part of us.
Please make sure you are subscribed to Lionel Nation, please, for reasons I don't know.
And don't forget Lionel Legal, too.
That's our sister.
That's our sister channel as well, as well as Lens Warriors.
But I'm getting things from people saying, you know, I was unsubscribed.
Well, I don't know what to tell you.
But are you ready for Freddy?
I think so.
Sometimes I love to read.
I'm not going to mention any names, but some of these rather circuitous, almost rambling references from folks who I think, frankly, don't know where they are.
Maybe there might be some alcohol involved.
And you think, I'm random.
These weird thoughts.
Somebody said, are we going to dumb it down?
D-U-M?
Oh my god.
But I'm used to it.
Because I'm a professional.
Let me start off with a couple of things.
First, I want to say something that happened today, which was one of the most fascinating things ever.
And this deals with the epistemology of information, data, and fact, and how do we know what we know.
And it was so interesting.
This morning, for reasons I shan't understand, I...
I think it must have been today.
One of you fine people was talking about something about the paleo diet.
Out of nowhere.
Oh, about paleo diet and mental health.
Because this individual read some studies and that the paleo diet is better for mental health, which is frankly what most people are eating without really thinking about it.
They're eating a lot of meat and protein and whatever you want to call it.
Any carbohydrates to speak of.
Maybe unless you count bread, but veggies are fruit.
In any event.
So one of the, one of you fine folks, I'm not going to mention any names, said, you know, you brought up this crazy study about the egg, the egg industry said this or something.
And I thought to myself, no, it's not the egg industry.
And then I realized, oh, this is the Harvard nurses study.
And nutritionfacts.org listed it and gave the citation, and you can read it.
And I went back and remember, yes, as I remember, and it said it wasn't the egg industry.
In fact, the egg industry, I think it would probably not want this to be known or to be said.
But one of the interesting facts, which I've read about, which is cited, and you can go to this, is Michael Greger, nutritionfacts.org, and you can see the citation.
It's not just that he says it, he gives a citation of various studies in the way.
And they said that one hot dog, for example, has as many nitrosamines and nitrosamines as five cigarettes.
And these carcinogens are also found in fresh, unprocessed meat.
But here's the one that's interesting.
According to this, consuming the amount of cholesterol found in a single egg per day appears to cut a woman's life as short as smoking five cigarettes a day for 15 years.
So that's what I had said.
That's what I had quoted.
That's what this study was.
You can read it.
You can find it.
You can argue with it.
Don't look at me.
That's what it said.
It doesn't really bother me one way or another.
I don't really care.
But that's what was said.
That's what was cited.
You can read the results.
Well, somebody didn't like that.
Because that went against things intuitively.
That went against the grain.
Wait a minute.
I don't like that.
Because I'm into the paleo diet.
Okay.
And there's nothing wrong with it.
I'm sure that egg consumption, I'm sure that chickens were plentiful during the meanderthal periods.
But in any event, I said, whatever you want to believe.
Oh, you're crazy.
And it got me going.
And it's one of my favorite subjects, which is what today's subject is.
Why Tucker Carlson is under fire again.
And what happens when people suggest, or by virtue of guess, have someone on who says things that are wrong.
What if somebody believes that World War II Had nothing to do with the way we believe it to be true.
That in fact World War II was really our fault?
Or that Winston Churchill was a bad guy?
Or that Hitler was this or that?
Or whatever.
Let's assume someone says whatever you think to be problematic or wrong.
Somebody that Oh, I just saw a millisecond of that.
Anna Melanoma, whatever that thing with her head, Anna Emphysema or Kasparigian or whatever her name is, with junk yogurt and the young turds.
She's screaming, and Tucker Carlson, you had on someone who's a, had on what?
Someone who's a Holocaust denier.
Okay.
And Elon Musk went so far.
You're not going to believe this.
Elon Musk went so far as to actually delete a tweet.
His own.
Because he dared to have on this Daryl Cooper or someone who said this.
And by God, he's crazy.
All right.
What do you mean, all right?
You can't do that.
Why, Tucker Carlson must be ground into dust.
You can't have somebody deny history.
What was that again?
You can't have someone deny history.
You mean like the critical race theory, like 1690?
Don't confuse the two.
That's completely different.
You can't have a Holocaust denier.
Are you denying it?
I'm not denying anything.
Did you know about the eggs?
I didn't say they did.
Well, you can't say that.
Why can't I say that?
Because you can't.
Well, do you believe it?
Do you believe Daryl Cooper?
Of course I don't believe Daryl Cooper.
So what's the problem?
The point is that somebody may hear that.
And?
Well, it's wrong.
Or what if somebody hears about this 1619 project and hears about this critical race theory?
Don't bring up critical race theory again.
It has nothing to do with this.
Why not?
It doesn't have anything to do with this.
Why, you?
It's the greatest story in the world.
And the reason why is...
First question is, do you believe in freedom of expression?
Yes.
Or no?
Do you believe in it?
Do you believe that people should be able to say whatever they want?
There are people who are constantly saying, well, that's not exactly the way I heard it.
What do you mean?
Well, you know, the Crusades.
Well, you know, the way they built the pyramids was like this.
Well, you know, Adam and Eve really, well, the Bible never said that.
Well, we're constantly having people tweak and revise and change history.
Now, I want you to remember this.
Hashtag, so what?
If someone comes and believes that the Holocaust did not occur, or that we didn't land on the moon, or that we didn't, uh, whatever, or that we can't, or because, or that there are no UFOs, or are UFOs, or that there was no God, or there wasn't, whatever, somebody's going to say something to you.
That you're going to say, I disagree with that.
So what?
Yeah, but somebody could hear that.
So what?
So what?
Am I the only one who gets this?
Yes.
See, a long time ago, I'll never forget, when I first got into this talk radio thing, it really became pretty much an absolutist when it comes to the First Amendment.
I mean, ideas mean nothing to me if they never convert into ideas or actual physical manifestations of them.
And changing the subject, a while back, years ago, there was a group of people and it was great in talk radio called NAMBLA.
I don't know if they exist.
I don't know if they ever existed.
North American Man-Boy Love Association.
And it was a group of people that promoted The idea, promoted the idea that laws preventing, proscribing, prohibiting sexual union in Congress between adult men and minor boys, they believe should be completely eliminated.
That they wanted to remove any barrier to sexual intimacy between adults and children.
This is what they believed in.
And I thought to myself, do they really exist?
Yes.
I said, what is the chance of...
Well, little did I know then that today we're going to be seeing that here.
We're going to be seeing it.
Absolutely.
One day you're going to see cities like New York and others, sex destination travel centers.
Absolutely.
Where you will see children put on display and sold.
Absolutely.
Without a doubt.
Okay.
But that's later on.
So at the time, I remember going on radio and saying, Well, so what if somebody wants to advocate that?
What if I want to advocate the repeal of murder statutes?
I believe that we should be able to kill each other.
I'm saying this.
I don't believe that, but let's assume I did.
Should I be able to say that?
Yes.
Yes.
Of course I should.
Why?
Because it makes sense.
Why?
Because I can say whatever I want?
I'm talking about advocacy.
I think that drug laws...
There was a thing years ago called...
Normal.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Keith Stroop, I believe was his name.
There were people who were going to prison for marijuana and they advocated this idea, this thing called marijuana laws or whatever it was.
Okay, fine.
At the time, he was a pretty, it was a pretty big deal.
And.
Yeah.
uh...
Nobody wanted to arrest him because he merely wanted to repeal these laws.
So are you saying that I can repeal some laws or I can advocate some things but not others?
How do you determine?
Who determines?
Okay, we don't mind you advocating the repeal of marijuana laws, but you cannot advocate.
And by the way, this is, to me, it's disgusting.
So anyway, later on, people said, well, you're obviously doing this crazy thing, and this is nuts or whatever.
People could not believe I was saying that.
I said, I'm not for this.
I'm talking about the ability to advocate something.
You can say whatever you want.
You can say whatever you want.
You can write novels.
You can write stories.
You can write songs.
You can say things.
Lolita, Nabokov.
You can write songs and stories about...
Weird.
How about, have you heard Cousin Dupree?
Steely Dan.
Great song.
The music, but it's about this guy who, basically his cousin, and it's really weird.
But it's a song.
The Bible.
Lots wide.
Alright, we've been through this.
Then came this idea, then people all of a sudden, they said, well, we're going to get to the bottom of these things called pedophiles.
What?
Pedophiles.
It was the word still is the word that they use for people who do terrible things to children.
Now, I said, well, no, that's not what we're talking about.
We're not talking about what somebody thinks, what somebody's idea of their ideation is.
There might be somebody who gets a big kick out of cannibalism.
Do you remember the fellow years ago?
You probably don't remember this.
There was a guy, I think it might have been either the NYPD or something.
Well, they got a lot of problems now.
Anyway, with this NYPD, there might have been...
He was in this weird kind of thing about how he would actually cannibalize people.
He actually went through it and talked about the pans he would use, where can you get an oven this big to cook?
I mean, it was wild.
And I said, at the time we were doing this, I was doing TV, I said, so what?
He's not doing this, he's just talking about it.
That's sick.
He shouldn't be a police officer.
Well, maybe he shouldn't.
That's a consideration.
But you should be able to say whatever you want.
And I thought, what are people not understanding about your ability to say whatever you want?
What is this?
I don't understand that.
And it started to change.
Years ago, there were a lot of folks involved in when the mob Roy DeMeo.
You can read all these stories about these people.
Was it the Gambinos?
I forget who it was.
Years ago, they might have been involved in what used to be called the porn industry.
This was Times Square and these various porn houses or whatever it was.
Now, I don't know this for a fact, but most of those guys were there because they were mobsters.
And they were gangsters and racketeers.
And they would do anything to make a buck.
And if it involved pornography, so be it.
So be it.
Big deal.
They didn't care.
So what?
And don't tell me that they ever drew the line.
If you went to them and said, listen, how would you like to make a million dollars a day?
What do you mean?
Well, we've got these things involving small animals or children or whatever.
I don't know this for a fact, but I'll bet you they'd say, sure.
Why?
Because we're gangsters.
I also have something involved in endangered species.
Fine!
Rhinoceros.
Great!
Why?
We're gangsters.
We're criminals.
Organized crime.
We don't like this.
We have families and children.
Anybody did this?
We have no interest in this, but we're into the money part of it.
Whatever it is.
Do you believe that slave masters, slaveholders, were racist?
Do you think that motivation behind capturing human beings, putting them on ships, dragooning them, bringing them to the various places, was because you're a racist?
No.
It's because of money.
So most of the people involved in a lot of this stuff are not pedophiles.
They're capitalists.
Gangsters and criminals.
Nobody wanted to hear this.
Why?
It takes too much talking.
Just like when people want to say, you're a communist.
No, he's not a communist.
Yes, he is.
You don't know what a communist is.
It's not a planned economy.
Whatever.
I mean this and that.
So let me stop.
Let me remind you.
I'm not changing the subject.
But tonight's topic is Tucker Carlson.
And Tucker Carlson is under fire because Tucker Carlson is getting too popular.
And they want to destroy him.
Because people are mean-spirited and Anna Emphysema and all these other people hate Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson is to the media what Trump is to politics.
Fox hates him.
Hannity hates him.
Everybody, I don't know if Hannity hates him.
But Trump, but Tucker took off, left Fox, and is bigger than anything else.
Megyn Kelly left?
Eh.
But Tucker?
Oh my god.
Now he's going around the country.
And Megyn Kelly wants to be on.
And all these people, they love him!
They say, wait a minute, how can we?
He's selling out things.
We can't have that.
Why?
Well, because he's...
Because we're jealous.
We're...
Jealous.
Like mean girls don't like the popular girls.
Like we just don't like people.
We hate social media.
We troll.
Hatred is what motivates social media.
Social media is about hatred.
I'm mad at you.
Why did you say that?
Why did you say that about that egg study?
Damn it, I'm a paleo.
You're wrong.
You can't say that.
I can say whatever I want.
No, you can't.
And you.
You don't believe we landed on the moon?
God, you're under arrest!
And in the UK, you're under arrest too.
Did you post this about it?
You're under arrest!
We hate you!
We love to crush, quash, destroy.
We love it!
It's fun!
It's not the thought police, it's the thought vigilantes.
And that's why they hate Tucker Carlson.
Because he's too big.
So he gets this guy on.
Cooper.
I don't know who this guy is.
Now, if you...
There's a lot that what he said...
I can't say precisely what he said.
I didn't listen to him.
But as far as Winston Churchill, oh, absolutely.
And my favorite is a bunch of...
Everybody who talks about Winston Churchill, oh, he's a bunch of British.
He goes, like Douglas Merritt.
I didn't know what you're talking about.
Winston Churchill.
You're one of his tribe, too.
Of course you...
Edward VII, probably responsible for everything that we got suckered into.
Not that that means that Hitler wasn't a bad person.
Brown Brothers Harriman, let's go through that.
Let's just go through the whole story.
Read a wonderful story about National, about Anyway, Hitler just, people just love Hitler.
And I've got a friend of mine.
He's a very good friend of mine.
And he is so Jewish.
What happened to his family was just absolutely horrific.
Horrific.
And he has documents.
He shows me this.
And until you've actually seen.
Real documents with rubber stamps with the swastika and official paper.
You can't believe this ever happened.
Not that long ago from allegedly these very cultured people that brought us Mozart and Goethe and Hesse and Einstein and Freud and Mozart.
Oh, please.
So I talk to him about this.
And what drives him crazy is when I say, you know, There's really nothing that special about Hitler.
He wasn't a genius.
He wasn't really a psychopath.
He's a dime a dozen.
He just happened to come along at the right time.
And if you talk about this, national socialism, he said, well, don't you understand this because there were a lot of people who were anti-Semitic.
He was different.
Well, because he didn't like the Jews because of the fact that he was a painter and a lot of people were rejected.
They didn't do this.
Well, a lot of people were, you know, he was a closeted homosexual then.
A lot of closeted homosexuals.
Well, Goebbels had a club foot.
We love to attribute all this stuff to it.
That killer, he was trans.
A lot of people are trans.
Trans people don't kill.
We love to attribute stuff because people just spew this crap all day long.
But you're entitled to.
That's the beauty of being a human being.
So back to Tucker Carlson.
Do they really care what this guy Daryl Cooper said?
No.
And Elon Musk, why even he untweeted, deleted a tweet or an X or whatever these things are.
Even he did it.
And there you go.
And Anna Emphysema makes a big deal.
Oh my God.
Tucker, so what?
So what?
Assuming the worst thing possible.
Assuming that somebody does not believe World War II existed.
Somebody who doesn't believe in the Holocaust.
Landing on the moon.
Anything.
So what?
Correct them.
Don't listen to them.
Write a response.
We're going to ban everybody?
Can I ban the 1619 people?
Can I ban the critical race?
No.
Quit bringing them out.
Well, they're wrong.
Yeah, but that's different.
Why?
Why?
Because they're black?
Because what?
They can lie?
Well, he said hateful things.
Other people have said hateful things.
Well, he said the N-word.
The N-word all the time in black music and rap.
Can we ban that?
No, you can't ban them.
Why?
Because they're black.
Wait a minute.
You can say the end word, but you can't?
Yes.
Who writes these rules?
We do.
Who are we?
The people in charge.
I didn't elect you.
Well, that's tough.
And instead of people standing up saying, wait a minute, hold it, hold it.
Let Tucker say whatever he wants.
You couldn't get me to a Tucker Carlson event if you, or maybe if you paid me, but not if you got a free ticket.
I don't want to go to this.
To hear Russell Brand.
I'm sorry.
Russell Brand is so full of it.
Now he's the Christian.
Great!
Let him say what he wants.
Me, personally, he's a phony.
He had all these sexual allegations, but now he's, oh, he's super Christian.
Great!
Knock yourself out.
I don't believe it.
Tucker's super Christian.
He's super Christian.
Okay, fine.
I don't care.
It bores the hell out of me.
Oh, and he stopped drinking.
Oh, for the love of God, you stopped drinking.
Please!
Why is this interesting?
Don't you understand the last day?
And I was a heroin addict.
You see, I was a...
Oh, for God's sake.
Bores me.
Can we talk about something else, please?
Other than you?
How you found Jesus, and you found God, and you conquered the bottle, and you, I don't care!
But you know what?
Be my guest.
So what?
Say what you want.
Say what you want.
What I'm saying is so heretical.
Alex Jones.
You got one problem with people.
If you direct people, if you say something that is actually actionable in terms of inciting, it's one thing if I say, hey, listen, I don't believe that such and such occurred.
Okay.
And I want you to go and drive those people crazy and whatever.
It's like, wait a minute, hold it.
Now, I don't think Alex Jones ever did this, but sometimes when you say something by virtue of your platform, it has a tremendous impact.
That's a different story.
That's a different story.
Incitement?
Now we're talking that may be more actionable.
That might be it.
That might be it.
Still, the first thing we do is we have to protect speech.
We don't care about speech.
We just don't like you.
And people are saying, first time Alex Jones says anything, Or you can get him.
Let me know.
Why?
Because we hate him.
So whatever he does, let me know.
I don't care what it is.
I don't care if other people are doing it.
We want to get him.
And we don't like Tucker.
Bring him in.
And Trump.
If Trump says it, it's so unfair.
I mean, it's such, aren't you tired of it?
How many of you find people are saying, you know, he's right.
It's such nonsense.
I don't care what you say.
I don't care.
It doesn't matter.
Now, people say, yeah, but you talk about trans people.
If you teach kids, if you bother kids, other than that, knock yourself out.
I don't care if you're trans.
It doesn't make any difference.
Freedom, to me, says, George Conlon was spot on when he said, Lionel, you and me and everyone in America, you're not in the club and never will be.
Sorry, Tucker.
Well, Tucker may be in the club, but Tucker needs some folks to come forward and say what the truth is.
You know, I have a friend of mine who is watching, I think, I don't know, I haven't seen him.
And he is a very smart man.
And when he says something, he says stuff that is stuff.
He absolutely, positively, one...
100% believes and will regale you with more facts and evidence that will blow your mind.
He believes, truly, that we never landed on the moon.
Not once.
Ever.
That no one did.
That you can't do it.
Because of radiation or the Van Allen belt, whatever it is.
Okay.
When I tell you, when I tell you, The information, the data, the people, it would astound you.
Now, most people don't know the first thing about it.
They go, oh, that's crazy.
Well, how do you know it's crazy?
It's crazy because, well, Neil deGrasse Tyson, excuse me, Neil deGrasse Tyson, wait a minute, like Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson would lose every connection with NASA or whatever.
If Neil deGrasse Tyson said, you know, there's a point there.
He's through.
He's done.
Oh, he's done.
He's finished.
Same thing with UFOs.
Oh, no, no, no.
One time he actually said, can you give us an ashtray?
He said, Neil, do you not see this guy?
He's a gatekeeper.
I understand it.
If you can't see that, come on.
Today we're going to talk about the legitimacy of Jesus.
Our guest is Father John.
Excuse me.
Father.
He's a priest?
Yeah.
Oh, for no love.
You're going to bring a priest on?
Oh, gee, I wonder what he's going to say.
But you're entitled.
I have a very simple formula.
Sit back and let everybody say whatever they want.
Unless it involves the recordation of sexual activity with children, CSAM.
Other than that...
Knock yourself out.
I don't care.
I don't listen.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Joy Reid.
Did you hear what Joy Reid says?
Who cares about Joy Reid?
Joy Reid.
Well, she doesn't believe that Trump was shot.
Okay.
No, she believes that other people were saying that he was hit by shards of glass and it wasn't even okay.
Some people say it wasn't even a bullet.
It was all BS.
What about the guy who was killed?
You're entitled to say that.
I don't have to listen to it.
Let me ask you something.
What should you not say?
What should you not say?
What?
What?
In 1971, there was a book called The Anarchist Cookbook.
It showed people how to kill people, how to make bombs.
The Supreme Court said, that's okay.
Yeah, but it's...
Disinformation is there.
I don't understand this.
What's the matter with us?
What is the matter with us?
The stuff that...
Oh, and right now, don't be an election denier.
I'm an election denier.
Trump does not believe he lost the 2028.
Well, I lost by a whisker.
Come on.
If you don't believe...
Does anybody here believe...
Seriously, does anybody here believe that Trump lost fair and square?
Not that the Democrats didn't win.
Not that they didn't get more votes.
Not that they didn't cheat fair and square.
Oh, I don't think there's...
No, I don't think there's any...
No, they've already litigated this, but that's not what I'm saying.
Do you think he won?
Do you think he won?
Does anybody really think that?
Do you really think...
No, no.
Biden never campaigned once.
He was in the basement the whole time and he got 80...
How many million?
Come on.
You wouldn't believe that?
Go ahead.
It's up to you.
I don't believe that.
But it happened, and it's litigating, and it's moot.
It's race judicata.
It's over with.
It happened.
Come on.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Today we were walking around Fifth Avenue.
It was very interesting.
There was a, there was a, it was Labor Day.
We said, what is this?
And Mrs. L and I were noticing, what is this?
And I say, remember that, honey?
They were walking.
I say, what is it?
There weren't bans.
There weren't.
There were these people walking around like the mental hospital.
They just let them out and stopped the police officer.
And I said, what is it?
He goes, Labor Day.
I said, Labor Day?
And it was, we're one of the team with number one.
And I swear...
Well, there were some labor people there, yes.
But I swear to God, they went into the home, gave these people a t-shirt, and they're walking around with these Kamala Harris.
We want freedom!
Okay.
Yep.
These were jabronis.
These were a bunch of imposters.
Walking around, they were, I mean, they were, it looked like, okay.
They're entitled to say that.
But I want to say, you really?
If you had a business, you would want them over Trump?
Now, did you see this?
Did you ever see what Elton John said?
You know and I know that Elton John is a businessman and deep down inside loves the idea of Donald Trump.
You know it.
I know it.
We all know it.
Okay?
Come on.
Stop it.
And Elton John, you know when he said Rocketman, you know the big thing is, well, I like that Dave Grohl.
What a schmuck.
He's a moron.
You know, from the Foo Fighters, whatever he is, Nirvana.
I don't know.
I want to sue Trump because of you.
Blow it out your arse.
Who cares?
Sue him.
Don't sue him.
Nobody cares.
It's over, Mr. Hippie.
Come on.
What are you?
70 years old?
Stop it.
Please.
Grow up.
It's like these pathetic people we know who are these Beatles tribute bands.
They think they're Paul McConaughey.
Why are you talking like that?
You're from Newark.
Why are you sounding like you're from Liverpool?
I don't know.
You're not Ringo.
What's the matter with you?
What the hell's the matter with you?
You people are nuts.
You're crazy.
I don't know what it is.
But anyway.
So, remember, Donald Trump used the term rocket man.
So they asked our good friend, Mr. Elton John, what do you think about Donald Trump using the term rocket man?
Supporter of Donald Trump's.
He loves your music.
Now, he never said he wasn't a supporter of Donald Trump.
I don't know who this guy is, but he starts with this guy.
I know you're not a supporter of Donald Trump, but listen to Sir Elton.
I know that you're not a supporter of Donald Trump's.
He loves your music.
How did it feel when he took the lyrics to Rocketman?
And he used it.
Chewing his heaters.
And he gave Kim Jong-un.
I laughed.
I thought it was brilliant.
I just thought, good on you, Donald.
I'm the rocket man, yeah.
Donald's always been a fan of mine, and he's been to my...
Concerts many, many times.
So, I mean, I've always been friendly towards him, and I thank him for his support.
Yeah, when he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.
It made me laugh.
He gave Kim one of your CDs and signed it.
That was in one of the books about him, because Kim, I guess, didn't know the song.
I think he's deaf.
He gave Kim Jong-un the signed CD, which he'd never heard of it.
I know, of course he hasn't heard of Kim Jong-un.
I'd be very surprised if he had.
I've never toured North Korea, and I have no intention.
I thought it was a light moment and it was fun.
That's exactly right.
And I'm glad because I always heard that Elton John was a jerk.
But that's what most people, most people, they like Trump.
When I say it as a candidate, they don't want to meet him.
They don't want to meet him.
Listen to me when I tell you this.
And I say this with all due respect.
And I say it, and I'm not trying to be a...
A jabroni.
I'm telling you the truth.
I want him to be president.
Short of that, I don't really have anything I wish him well.
I have no...
I don't love him.
I don't...
Do a great job.
You're my president.
That's it.
I'm not into thinking about, oh, I love Donald Trump.
His brother was one of the most magnificent men we have ever known.
Robert Trump was the greatest.
I love that man.
I love that man.
He died.
It was a shame.
It was horrible.
That I know.
And I don't know what's going to happen after Trump.
And Trump does stuff that I don't.
I don't agree with...
I've told you a million times.
I've told you a million times.
But there's no choice.
It's like we've been driving.
We pull off.
There's a place.
There's a restaurant.
And all they have is some remnants of a bad buffet.
And we say, that'll do.
Why?
Do you like that?
I'm starving.
It's not a question of this.
I'll take that.
I'll take that.
That's like somebody told me one time, you know I've said this before and I'll say it again.
And I've mentioned this before and I have, and you can see it right here, preparewithlionel.com.
This is an emergency food thing.
And it's right there underneath the description, right here, the front of this YouTube piece, right there.
Preparewithlionel.com.
Emergency food.
Okay.
Somebody told me, well, what if it's not vegan?
I said, emergency food?
I'll eat sardine guts if we're starving.
What are you talking about?
This is ridiculous.
What?
You know, I'm thinking, there's no choice.
We're starving.
I need, you know, I can't see straight.
We're going to starve.
I don't understand.
That's Donald Trump.
There is no choice.
It's not just that.
It's not about Kemala.
It's about these people, these Democrats.
What are you, nuts?
I don't care whether you like Trump.
You've got to vote for him.
That's not exactly a resounding endorsement, but it's true.
These people who do this stuff.
Makes me wonder, are they out of their mind?
Who is this?
Lori Huck says, Elle, you gotta see Kampo dance at West Africa.
Whoa.
Wow.
Okay.
Okay.
I shall.
Freedom says, what's crazy is the left cannot ever give one actual truthful reason why they hate Trump.
I'm 68. Only one other was close, was Reagan.
America was rocking with Trump.
Fascinating.
Soul76 says, Grohl, others can't sue him because Trump paid the record company for the rights he uses on.
Majority of artists do not own their own music.
Which is great.
Oh, here we go.
So Alan Lichtman predicts Gamale will win his victory.
He has 9 out of 10 presidential elections.
What can you say, Uncle Lenny?
Are you doing this?
Read what he said.
Specifically about Alan Lichtman.
He says, well, there's sort of the, if this, this, this, read it again.
I don't care about Alan Lichtman.
I mean, good for him.
Alan, are you paying attention to what's happening right now?
George, yeah, George Carter.
So, I just, you know, we can sit here and it's like, look, I gotta tell you this much, I gotta be honest with you.
This is a no-brainer.
Kamala is incredible.
Some of the best produced stuff there is.
Watch this.
Kamala Harris was given one important job as vice president.
Monitor and control our southern border.
How did she do?
Did she take the job seriously?
Did she do all she could to protect American citizens from an invasion?
Did she do anything at all?
You haven't been to the border.
And I haven't been to Europe.
I don't understand the point that you're making.
Here's her grim scorecard.
Murders.
Rapes.
Attacks on children.
A 12-year-old girl in Texas.
A mother of five in Maryland.
A nursing student in Georgia.
All savagely murdered by those Biden and Harris led into our country unlawfully.
We have...
A secure border.
Kamala Harris was and is a complete failure at her job.
Now, she's asking us for a promotion?
Who in their right mind would give it to her?
Restoration PAC is responsible for the content of this advertising.
And there you have it.
Now, I'm sure somebody will say, well, you know, those people are, you know, World War II deniers.
Whatever.
I mean, this is just, this is, I don't.
I cannot wait until the 10th.
Oh my god.
Active shooter on the loose in Kentucky, as we speak.
What do you do about shooting?
Don't even get me started with that.
Don't even know.
Have you watched Babylon Bee?
Remember when The Onion first came out?
The Onion was fantastic.
Remember The Onion?
I'll never forget.
Where an Irish bar, well, whenever the onion first came out, there was this guy who came in, kind of a local neighborhood guy.
They got talks like this, and I had a copy of the onion when the onion was a paper.
I think it started in Wisconsin, then they moved to Brooklyn or something.
This is before the Babylon Bay.
This is really before internet was what it was.
Okay, so anyway, so we're looking at this, and this guy's reading it, and the headlines are great.
He goes, what the hell is this?
What the hell?
I thought it was one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen in my life.
I love that they would ask people questions, you know, and they were always the same four people, the same faces.
It was brilliant.
Well, today, we live in a world of the Babylon Bee.
That is just incredible.
And if you notice, there is nothing, I know this may sound odd to you, There is nothing that is even remotely funny from the left.
It seems as though for reasons I shan't understand that the real funny stuff the real funny stuff comes from what we would call the right.
It used to be the opposite.
I remember one time there was a show with Rush Limbaugh Ann Coulter, it was an attempt, I think Fox News attempted to do it, it was just horrible.
And somebody said that there was nothing apparently funny about the riot or conservatives or whatever it was, but that wasn't really true.
It was a different story.
In any event, the Babylon Bee is just fantastic.
And this might be their greatest work ever.
Nagasaki, the heat death of the universe.
These are some of the deadliest days in history.
But none of them compare to the most deadliest day.
January 6, 2021.
Coming soon.
In the most epic movie event since Robot Jocks, Left Behind, or maybe even Son of the Mask, the Babylon Bee investigates the darkest day in the history of democracy.
Where were you on January 6th?
In January?
I don't remember.
Storm in the Capitol, baby!
scary stuff like this happened So on a scale of 9 to 10, how terrifying was what you just witnessed?
Three?
I don't know.
We go on location.
We bring you 100% true facts.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was murdered over seven times.
We ask the tough questions.
Is it true that you have a Jewish space laser?
This is incredibly boring.
Could you explain it to me using Marvel characters?
We even go face to face with the scariest criminals you'll ever meet.
Are you the dangerous insurrection man?
Who's asking?
We're in.
Into the lure of darkness I go.
Darkness because he's a Republican, not because he's, you know, Democrat.
Shame!
Shame!
This fall, the only way you can save democracy is by becoming a member of the Babylon Bee.
So you can see January 6th, the most deadliest day.
The most deadliest day.
Where were you on January 6th?
I was in that mob that was going into the Capitol.
Absolutely brilliant.
One of the greatest concoctions ever, ever, was the reaction to January 6th.
Absolutely.
One of the stupidest things anybody's ever done.
Stupid from the beginning until the end.
I wouldn't get caught near that.
Stupid.
Stupid.
With stupid people, with their stupid cami things, and the guy with the eye patch, Gadsden flag, stupid.
Harmless and stupid.
Lori Cook says, Cheney endorse Officer Harris.
She's a neocon.
B is awesome.
Oh, absolutely.
It was so...
But see, let me explain to me, Lori.
I gotta tell you.
I thought it was stupid.
I thought Trump did not...
Trump, they set Trump up.
Remember when...
Who was it?
When...
Oh, God.
Nobody really got it.
I didn't even...
Kimberly was doing the dance.
She thought everybody wanted to see her dance all the time.
I don't think anybody really saw it.
It was stupid.
It was dumb.
You mean to tell me that those people could overthrow the country?
Bunch of pot-bellied guys?
This guy?
What?
The guy with the iPad?
Let's go!
It was stupid.
I would never do it.
They were set up.
Come on in!
Ashley Babbitt.
Oh, we don't talk about it.
Okay, we're not going to relitigate that.
But the reaction was, it was the end of civilization as we know it.
There was Trump standing before all, orchestrating the end of civilization and the complete desecration and execration of our constitutional republic.
He stood before the war.
Oh, give me a break.
Are you pushing that crap again?
It was ridiculous.
Rebate.
Debate regarding DJT.
One coin toss and speaks last.
I hope he looks in the camera and quotes Reagan.
Are you better off today than you were four years ago?
Oh, thank you, but mine would be better.
Do you want four more years of this?
That's exactly right.
Look at her.
Four more years of this?
She has no idea what she's doing.
Be brutal.
Laurie says, 4-D chess, popcorn, etc.
LOL.
Oh, 4-D.
Remember that?
I never fit in.
Look, I have watched this through every permutation you can imagine.
And I never thought, I thought, there's no way these folks are going to take this seriously.
Because it's nothing.
They took it seriously.
You've got to hand it to the Republicans.
You can say something, and you think it's ridiculous.
Did you tweet MAGA?
What?
Did you tweet MAGA?
Yeah.
You're a white nationalist supremacist.
Wait a minute, what are you talking about?
Don't you understand?
Wikipedia calls that a white nationalist.
Who the hell is Wikipedia?
I erupted it in mid-sentence.
Who is...
Who's Wikipedia?
You know, PolitiFact said it was...
Who's PolitiFact?
They're like Snopes.
Who?
It was a hashtag.
You know exactly what...
You're one of those MAGA people, is that it?
I see.
Well, guess what?
The person who robbed that liquor store in Valdosta, Georgia was a Worry MAGA hat.
And you know exactly what we're talking about.
You're a part of the MAGA ministry or whatever.
Anybody else, they say, oh, come on.
Well, everybody jumps on board and all of a sudden, MAGA.
MAGA, you're a MAGA.
Weren't you that MAGA person?
Did you have other MAGA people you knew?
Did you meet?
Did you have a secret decoder?
What are you talking about?
It's a hashtag.
It was not.
It was a movement.
It was a conspiracy theory in which you believed that MAGA was going to somehow make America great again?
That it was going to somehow get to the bottom of all of the predation?
You're sick.
You're out of your mind.
What are you talking about?
You know damn well.
MAGA!
It was an expression!
No, it wasn't!
Wikipedia thinks differently.
The first rule of Wikipedia is do not quote Wikipedia.
How do you like that?
Lori says they're mapping shares of influence, bastards.
But we know what's happening.
It is incredible.
Now, you know it, and I know it.
But as I say, what does Uncle Lenny say?
Unless you can guarantee those ballots, we'll see.
Because you know somebody's saying, don't worry.
Well, we'll see.
What do you mean?
What did you do?
I'm not going to say anything.
Plausible deniability.
But, you know, when Secretary of State sends those ballots out, you know, they go on.
Big batch.
And they're in big cartons.
They send all of the things out at the one time from that place.
What?
Well, from ballots?
I'm just giving you an idea.
I'm just telling you.
This is a movie.
Movie I'm talking about.
And in my movie, you got this one guy who's kind of like follow the money.
Yeah!
See, they go on on Wednesday.
We know when they're...
Because I know we've got people on...
I know from the Pennsylvania...
This is...
I understand what's going on.
Okay.
I understand what's going on.
So this is what you're doing?
Yes.
Oh, I understand.
Yes.
So...
So what you're saying is what?
Well, you're saying...
Well, I'm just saying that in my movie, on this particular day, we know that in Pennsylvania...
All the ballots are printed and they go out in a big batch on Wednesday every year.
You got that?
Yeah.
Well, it's a memo.
I know all about that.
I know all about that.
There's Therese, everybody.
Thank you, Therese.
And I understand that once those go out, you just assume they've been mailed.
So we put them on the loaning dock and the...
Because in the big bash like that, we have a deal with the post office.
So the post office comes, and they pick up all of the thousands and thousands of ballots that go out, and this guy's going to come.
Now, what if I told you, in my movie, I'm not saying this is true, but let's just say in my movie, somebody is in there as part of the union that's basically behind them.
They are never mailed.
How do you know when something is not mailed?
Let's assume I'm sending out 100,000 ballots.
But I grab them.
And I grab them and I fill them out myself.
And I write, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
And I put them back in and I mail them back.
But they never went to the house.
They never went to Demetrius Blitkin and he says, hey!
Where's my mail-in ballot?
Oh, well.
A lot of times people don't even think about it and say, I didn't get it.
And I, oh well.
Because the mail today, how many people, seriously, do you go to the mail?
Do you, I mean, do you just, is it, we get nothing.
I don't even think about it.
Some people just forget to go to the mailbox.
I know we have one friend of ours, never goes.
She just doesn't go.
She says, I don't get anything there.
So Demetrius Blitkin, he never got his ballot.
Eddie Barksdale never got his.
And the other people who may not even exist or may live in a place that's a vacant lot, they sure as hell didn't get theirs.
So they went out and next thing you know, all these ballots came back.
Signed.
Executed.
Now I don't know if you have it.
I don't know.
But somebody says, okay, I mean, one for Harris, another one for Harris, there's another one for Harris, and another one for Harris.
It's all the same pen.
What do I know?
There's another one for Harris, and another one for Harris.
Charlie Kirk is standing like this all he wants.
What do you see, Charlie?
Nothing.
Charlie, did you see anything interesting?
No.
I just see a bunch of letters being opened.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah.
Anything else?
Anything else?
No.
Lara Trump?
You see anything here?
No.
Any of your eagle-eyed people?
No.
Did you find out when these ballots went out?
Yeah.
Did you do a cross-checking of who these names are?
No.
But we're there.
Now, I'm just saying, that's just a movie.
That's just a movie.
It's like, you know, like Ocean's Eleven?
I like to do a thing called Candid Ballots.
2024.
And all of a sudden, this guy says, it was a simple thing.
We came in.
We did this stuff.
You have like a...
The guy comes like this.
He goes like this.
You're at the loading dock at the post office.
This, he brings in the balance.
It goes like this.
Another guy picks it up.
Instead of going to this truck, it goes to this truck.
The next thing you know, it's dumped off someplace, and they're mailed back.
And then all of a sudden, wait a minute.
It appears that President Trump has won Pennsylvania.
Just a minute.
We're not done with the absentees yet.
What?
They're coming in.
Harris.
Harris.
Wait a minute.
Look at this.
Looks like okay to me?
Remember the Chads?
Look at that ballot like that.
Looks okay to me.
It's a ballot.
Okay.
What about this one?
Charlie Kirk, what do you think?
I don't know.
It's a ballot.
Of course it's a ballot.
It's a legitimate ballot.
Now that name, I don't know who that person is.
Marcus Absinthe, Tyrone Shoelaces.
Are these real names?
Yeah.
Hugh G. Rection?
What?
Rection?
This is a...
What?
They have R ballots and D ballots.
Well, they used to have, depending upon how you put the ballot back into the envelope, if they could look at it and say, that's a Trump, because I forget how they did it.
I don't know if they do this anymore.
But you could just throw it out.
Not even open it.
You could tell which one's which or whatever.
If you brought that up, there's no way that can happen.
Why is that?
Why?
Because their job depends on it.
And they're not going to tell you.
They're not going to tell you how they didn't do their job.
They're not going to tell you, well, here's how we screwed up.
Hey, Lara Trump, did you know this?
I don't know anything.
I'm just Eric's wife.
I just want to run marathons to show you how hot I am.
I don't know anything about this.
Look at me.
What the hell do I know about this?
I mean, I'm, you know, I got Kimberly Guilfoyle breathing down my neck.
Good luck, sister.
The world's longest fiance.
And I'm over here.
I don't know what the hell is going on.
Ivanka is the smartest one.
She just took off to Miami.
Am I hot?
Am I hot?
Oh yeah, I'm hot.
By the way, you know who's going to make a killing?
Melania.
Ooh, her book.
Oh my...
God, wait until...
You'll never get the numbers on that one.
That thing is going to be...
What is it?
400 if she signs it?
40 for the book?
400 with her signature.
Okay.
Alright.
I hope a lot of that goes to some charity that's...
You know, that would be terrific.
Oh, I've been talking about that.
Remember when I was telling you about her tabletop book?
Remember that years ago?
Of course you do.
What she should do, but I don't know if they were pissed off or she wasn't involved.
I don't know, but she was nowhere to be found.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Come on.
Look, we know what's going on.
We're not stupid.
We're honest to God, not stupid.
That we're just...
I love reality and so do you.
That's all we're talking about here.
We don't mean any harm.
We just love to tell people the truth.
That's all.
You understand it?
This is one of the biggest things ever.
This is one of the biggest con jobs ever.
And I want to say right now, Tucker Carlson, whether you like him or not, I don't care whether you like him.
It doesn't matter.
If they told me, Joy Reid can't...
Remember when Joy...
Joy Reid had this website or this blog post years ago.
Remember Blog Talk Radio?
Remember that stuff?
Okay.
So she claimed to have written this stuff that was anti-Semitic.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Homophobic.
Pardon me.
Pardon me.
And she said somebody may have Tampered with it.
And they said, Joy, this is from 10 years ago.
You can't tamper with something in the past.
Time bandits don't go back and tamper with it.
I said then, if she wants to write homophobic stuff, let her write it.
It's just a thought.
Yeah, but she's Joy Reid.
I don't give a damn who she is.
Joy Reid, Al Sharpton, Rachel Maddow.
Pick the one, Joy Behar.
What do I care?
Let them say what they want.
What if it's anti-Semitic?
Then it's anti-Semitic.
They talk about anti-Catholic stuff all the time.
I'm a retired Catholic.
Okay?
And I've been listening to this crap all my life.
Nobody was ever told, you don't understand.
You won't be able to get that job at Sullivan and Cromwell because you protested against the Catholic Church and said some pretty nasty stuff about the Pope.
You never hear that.
But if somebody says something stupid about Israel, what?
They can't work?
They can't work at Skadden Arps?
Come on!
This is such nonsense.
I'm telling you.
I'm 100% legit when I tell you this.
Say what you want!
I just don't care.
Don't expect me to care about it.
I don't care.
You don't have to like these people.
And I know many of you do.
And you like Tucker Carlson.
You know why I love him?
Let me tell you why.
Same thing I love about Trump.
Same thing I love about Alex Jones.
He drives people crazy.
Freedom says, you play the middleman with no liability of either side.
I like it, Lionel.
It's like playing Monopoly but never claiming the winner.
I don't know what that means, but okay.
Years ago I interviewed, there was a guy, Luke Skywalker.
Remember two live crew?
They were out of Miami.
And this was a big deal.
Oh my God.
This was when rap, kind of like before gangster rap came along, and I kept saying, so let me get this straight.
You sang a song?
And they, yeah.
And he was the nicest guy in the world.
And you're not supposed to sing a song?
I love to just act like I don't understand.
So you can't say that?
So the First Amendment doesn't apply to you?
What?
Because what?
Because you're black and you scare people?
Is that it?
But the point is, I don't understand.
I don't understand it.
And I'm not playing anything in the middle.
I'm telling you right now, I believe in the First Amendment and I believe in the beauty of being able to say things.
You've got to understand something.
Look, this is just me.
Nobody impresses me.
Do you know the only time the only time I think I was probably the most Absolutely awestruck.
Awestruck.
One Mrs. L. will tell you.
E.O. Wilson.
Ed Wilson.
Edwin Wilson.
He was the Harvard, but he's the ant specialist.
You've seen him.
He has an eye.
Just this gentleman about ants and bugs.
E.O. Wilson.
Not concupiscence.
Anyway, we were at LaGuardia or LaGuardia at this...
Remember that weird place?
It was like the original LaGuardia was not the usual terminal, but we were in this other place.
And I said, there's Ed Wilson!
Jesus, E.O. Wilson!
And I had my phone and I didn't know how to do it.
He was so nice.
I took a picture with him.
I never do that.
That's one time.
This guy is a rock star.
He is a...
I acted like a fool.
And he was very nice.
Such a gentleman.
He passed away, but it was very nice to meet him.
Second time was meeting George Jones.
That's it.
That was it.
Everybody else?
Do I want to go see Tucker Carlson?
No.
Do I want to see him?
No.
No.
Sorry.
No.
No.
Do I want to sit in a crowd?
No.
Do I want to go there?
No.
Do I want to go park in it?
No.
Do I want to wait in line?
No.
Do I want to sit with a bunch of people?
No.
There's something about me that's like, do I look like a groupie?
You're going to say, I'm going to sit in an audience?
No.
Am I going to go to a Trump rally?
Might.
That might, because that's kind of historical.
I went to a Jimmy Carter rally one time years ago in 1980.
It was kind of boring, but it was like, oh, that's interesting.
It was history.
Oh, by the way.
Did you know this?
Listen to this.
Hang on a minute.
Soul says Kimberly Guilfoyle dancing to Gloria can never be unseen.
Unfortunately, it has been painfully seared into our brains.
Oh, I know.
Remember when she came on and she just thought she was like the sexiest dancer?
Oh, yeah.
You saw that too.
She was grilling.
Inside the house, she was selling meat.
She had like an evening gown on.
And she goes, you know, I'm just here grilling.
You're inside the house.
You're going to die of asphyxiation.
It was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.
She was this one...
Oh, she...
She was just dancing all day.
She thought in her mind...
I mean, I...
I am just the hottest...
Okay, fine.
Anyway.
Anyway.
Listen to this.
Presidential debates.
Got a big one coming up in three days.
In 1858, the Lincoln-Douglas debates.
Let me remind you of something.
This was not a presidential debate.
The debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas for the Illinois Senate seat for a precedent for a political debate.
This was an Illinois Senate seat.
It was...
Lincoln was against slavery.
Douglas was Democrat.
He was for states' rights.
Okay.
When was the first presidential debate?
Okay, children.
When was the first presidential debate?
And people will start answering the question instead of saying, I don't know.
They'll just answer it.
Grover Kalina?
Why do you say that?
I don't know.
Do you know the answer?
No, I don't know.
Why are you guessing?
McKinley?
Why are you answering?
I don't know.
Do you know the answer?
No.
Franklin Pierce?
Stop answering!
You're just making things up.
Who was it?
Kennedy and Nixon?
Oh, Faye.
Michigan?
Close.
First TV.
Kennedy?
Lincoln-Douglas?
I just said Lincoln-Douglas.
And that wasn't a presidential.
Damn it!
Vegas, did you hear what I said?
Don't make me come into that room.
Don't make me come after you.
Franklin Roosevelt.
Look at Trashman.
He's just throwing things out there.
I don't know.
Franklin Roosevelt?
Franklin Pierce?
Teddy Roosevelt?
Kermit Roosevelt?
You're just saying.
You're just answering questions.
First TV debate?
What?
Here we go still.
Kennedy Nixon?
Look at this.
Locking up.
Not listening to a word I like Kaiser says.
Don't know.
Don't know.
Ike and Stevenson?
That's a good one.
I like that.
Again, this is just making stuff up.
Just throwing answers out.
Just throwing them out.
Robert Lee and Lincoln?
No.
This is most so great.
Why are you answering?
I don't know.
Now, do you or do you not know the answer?
No.
Millard Fillmore?
Why are you doing this again?
I don't know.
I just answer questions.
I don't know.
I'm weird about that.
Okay, listen to this one.
The first presidential debate, 1948, but it was between Republican primary candidates, Thomas Dewey, and my favorite, Harold Stassen.
Ran every year, Governor of Minnesota, every year.
It was Republican primary.
Radio.
Okay, television, as you know, 1960, Kennedy-Nixon debate.
The first debates between Kennedy and Nixon marked a pivotal moment.
They always say the same thing.
Nixon won on radio.
Kennedy won on TV.
Nixon had the flu.
Kennedy didn't.
Nixon refused the makeup.
We always say the same thing.
Okay, now listen to this one.
Kids, what happened between 1960 and 1976?
What happened between 1960 and 1976?
What happened?
Oh, this should be good, honey.
This should be good.
These people don't have any idea.
They're all drunk.
You know it and I know it.
You're drunk.
You're hell out.
All of you people.
What happened?
Look at this.
16 years.
Katie says, I was born.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much, Katie.
Nixon.
Okay, very good.
Oh, okay.
This is good.
Now, here we go.
The answer to this is, this is very interesting.
Between 1960 and 1976, there were no presidential debates for 16 years.
1960 to 1976.
None.
Various factors, including incumbent candidates, reluctance.
Logistical challenges.
After that, you would think after that big debate with Nixon, you would think for sure people would say, oh, we've got to do this again.
They said, oh, no way.
Uh-uh.
16 years.
Okay.
1976, Ford-Carter.
The resumption of the debates.
Gerald Ford-Carter?
That was when Gerald Ford said, I do not believe that there is any communist influence Russian influence, Soviet influence in Eastern Europe.
What?
That was the best.
Now, what happened in 1987?
Let me ask the peanut gallery.
Why?
They will answer no matter what.
That's why I love you people.
You'll always answer a question.
What happened in 1987?
What happened?
What happened?
And let me also say, let me also show you, I've been talking to you for this long, and what do I have to show for?
854, I'm sorry, 495 likes?
Do you have any self-respect?
Not even 500 likes?
I've been pouring my heart on?
What's the matter with you?
Okay, so what happened in 87?
Wall fell.
Ron was shot.
That was 81, by the way.
What happened then?
You know what?
Johnny Ballgame finally said something that was vaguely and circumstantially relevant.
The parties began to separate ideals.
Sort of.
Sort of.
Look at this.
I love this one.
This is great.
You know what?
Kaiser Associates says, three-man debate?
Just answering.
Just throwing stuff out.
No idea.
Pete says, my son was born.
Yep, that's the answer.
Pete's son was born.
In 1987, the Commission on Presidential Debates was established to ensure the debates are a permanent part of the electoral process.
The CPD took over the organization and sponsorship of the presidential and vice presidential debates.
1980s to presidential debates to become a standard.
And we can argue about whether The key moments.
1980, there you go again.
George Herbert Walker Bush checking his watch in 92. Barack Obama's clash with Romney in 2012.
Now, George Herbert Walker Bush looked at his watch.
He had that preppy, multicolored band, which I always liked that.
But, he did it.
Because he was interested in the time.
He wanted to see, how are we doing on the time?
He wasn't bored like, I gotta get out of here.
I thought it was more interesting when George Herbert Walker Bush didn't know what a scanner was.
I had no idea.
He goes, what's this?
I think it was him.
I think he went to the store and he goes, what's this?
It's a scanner.
It's a scanner?
How about when Gamala tried to fill up the car with the Tesla electric?
She had no idea.
No clue.
So there you have it.
There you have it, my friends.
A veritable potpourri, a pastiche, a myriad, a mosaic, of facts for you to consider and think.
So let me see.
Gracie Love George, by the way, says, two people that were never in my kitchen.

Let me see.
Freedom, we said this.
Nelson A., of course, and thank you for that.
So there you have it.
A veritable, an absolute, a pastiche, an absolute cornucopia.
So remember one thing.
The bottom line is this.
Tucker Carlson should be able to say whatever he wants, invite on whoever he wants, and you don't have to listen to him.
You don't have to like him.
You don't have to agree with him.
It doesn't matter.
This is America.
Last time I thought that meant something.
And sometimes I find myself kind of finding people that I sort of listen to and think, you know what, that's pretty good.
I never thought I would like them.
I never knew.
That's all.
Sometimes you'll see somebody who's on and, you know, and just because you give, you know, you can have an opinion.
There are some folks.
Let me ask you a question.
Who is a particular speaker that you just cannot listen to?
Ever.
You cannot.
You hear the voice and you turn it off.
Who is it?
Other than Kemala.
I'm talking about somebody who's like a commentator or a podcaster or a streamer.
Who is it that you just cannot?
You hear one second, you're gone.
My wife.
Look at this.
Sean Hannity.
Okay, fine.

Okay, AOC.

Johnny Ballgame.
Again, Johnny says, what does Johnny say?
Smokes too much.
I have no idea what that means.
No idea what that means.
I've got people from time to time, it doesn't matter, I'm not going to waste your time with it, I just don't listen to them.
But every now and then I'll find somebody who's really interesting.
And I love, there's a philosophy channel from the maybe 60s, early 70s, all these Oxford and Cambridge dons, so to speak, who speak about You know, Kierkegaard.
It's just...
Oh my God.
I love this ASMR stuff.
I love...
I was listening to Don Shipley before.
I love...
Some Navy SEAL.
What was your bodge class?
What?
I love that.
Other people?
I just...
I couldn't care less.
Junk yogurt?
The Young Turds?
Listen to them.
I don't want to cut them off.
I don't care what it is.
I don't care what they say.
Let them speak.
If you don't like them, whatever it is.
Let people say what's going on.
The amount of pushback regarding Israel is really something.
I think we've said enough.
That's all, my friends.

And I think that, plus making a damn good pillow and Comfy sofa sleepers and all that other stuff, too.
And slippers.
All right, my friends.
