It's time, friends.
It's Ventilation Friday with the Queen herself and the King of, I don't know what, of all...
Of all time.
Yeah, I don't like those titles, King and Queen.
It sounds so...
Start off by what you were saying right before.
Now, which thing?
Welcome, everybody.
We are very thrilled to be with you on this rainy New York City night.
Now, what was I starting with?
I talked about so many things.
About how good everything was this week.
Oh, I just made a comment that there has been so much progress made in the last week.
So many great things happening, despite...
All the horror of, it's so disturbing, that crash in D.C. But I never, I don't think I ever experienced as an adult this much progress in a two-week period in my entire life out of an administration.
Would you agree with that?
For example.
For example.
As far as the work I do this week.
The Lake and Riley Act, the first piece of legislation passed by, signed into, you know, executive order.
What is the Lake and Riley Act?
Well, I think we're all familiar by now with 22-year-old nursing student, Lake and Riley, killed in Georgia by an illegal alien and many other girls.
And remember, we had Jocelyn Nungaree, Rachel Morin, many others.
And this piece of legislation will hold those illegals responsible, tried, but they added a piece of, as opposed to, especially in sanctuary cities, they're putting them in the jails and just letting them out to do more crimes, right?
I'm trying to break it down very easily and not bore everybody.
They did add a piece, which I agree with, we agree with it, the Warriors, everyone should agree with, to the Lake and Riley Act.
That includes if you attack a police officer, anything to do with law enforcement.
It applies to you as well.
So, for instance, in New York, we have seen many attacks on police officers.
Not so much lately, though, if you've noticed, that we know about.
And I don't think they were even booked.
They were just let go.
So now it's holding responsibility.
We are seeing responsibility, accountability, more transparency.
I'm saying for the last two weeks, so much is going on.
We also saw the introduction from Senator Rick Scott and Ron Johnson, two senators, very initial stages, so you're not going to find a lot on it at all yet, introducing the human, there will be no human trafficking of migrant children.
There's a new act they're drawing up, and there's something that is a seed but will be announced very shortly.
About sex trafficking in the music business, specifically.
And that is a direct line going to everything going on with Diddy and many others you haven't heard about yet.
So there's a lot percolating that I think is very good.
And on top of it, we had our Teen Safety Summit that we partner up with the Wonder Girls here in New York, New Jersey.
And 300 girls, we were expecting 150.
Ages 12 to 17. We had 300 show up.
And what we do is we bring in, the Warriors brought in our colleagues, our partners at the DEA, Drug Enforcement Administration.
Fantastic.
And I was so honored that it was the same morning Tuesday as those 4 a.m., 5 a.m. raids here in New York with the illegals.
And I thought for sure Frank Tarantino, who heads the whole New York division, he'll have to cancel.
How is he going to do all of this?
Kristi Noem was in town.
They're doing all these raids.
And you know what?
He showed up with his colleague, Sierra, and brought tons of swag for the girls.
He kicked off the summit telling them, as a father of two daughters, how important they are.
And he has appeared on the Lynn's Warriors YouTube channel.
I have to repost that interview.
And I'll speak to him again.
But I'm just saying, with all the work going down here in New York City, He appeared.
We had Homeland Security there.
We had lots of local law enforcement to tell the girls we care about them.
Teen safety.
Let's talk about, you know, how to protect yourselves.
What's appropriate, what's not appropriate.
Did you see their faces?
Because, you know, you were with me.
They eat it up.
We gave them attention.
And a little pizza.
And it doesn't hurt that Goya is a great sponsor of the events.
Food you want, and it was just, wasn't that a real feel-good kind of thing?
It just felt so good.
But this is what she does on a regular basis, part of the Warriors, to go there, boots on the ground, to be a part of this, not to just sit back and pretend, but actually go to Suffern, to...
Yeah, it was held in Suffern, New York, which is, you know, about an hour outside of the city.
And absolutely just did so much work.
So loved and so well known in the community.
By the way, I want a great pizza joint out there and suffering if you're out there called Lavagna.
It was delicious.
May I, before we do this, a small plane crashed near northeast Philadelphia airport just this evening.
Days after the horrific mid-air collision in D.C. claiming the lives of 67 people.
The plane in Philly Reportedly hit several buildings and cars before going down near the Roosevelt Mall near Cotman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard just after 6 p.m.
Multiple casualties have been reported.
There's video footage.
How many of these have you noticed on doorbell and ring cameras?
Isn't that something?
Well, that's the good part of ring doorbells capturing, you know, because we catch a lot of child predators that way, or we can track a missing child through the rings.
That's a very big mall.
I've been to that mall when I was younger several times.
It's a major mall.
It's a major area.
This is very disturbing that...
Well, you know my thoughts on everything.
No.
Well, tell them.
They don't know your thoughts on everything.
Well, because I don't know with algorithms if I can say things.
I get a little...
You can.
I believe...
This is my opinion, everybody.
I don't have any proof of any of this.
I believe we have so much hacking going on, including, I'm still waiting for the drone story.
I'm sorry, President Trump and administration.
I do not accept the story that was told us.
That's me, though.
Hobbyists.
Hobbyists.
And we're doing research.
But don't worry, it's not an enemy.
If you're doing research, let the public know, and just say, don't be in fear, don't be scared, talk to your kids, because I'm always concerned with, like, what are the kids thinking in the teens?
Put it out there so we know what's going on, and we didn't hear any of that.
But I believe there's so much hacking.
We know a lot of companies, I mean, I hear from people, you hear from people, they just pay off these hackers who hack their systems at banks and healthcare and education systems.
And now I think we have aviation, perhaps.
Lots going on.
And I think the introduction of this deep seek, this AI from China, we had this going on this week or last week.
But what do you think about all that?
Well, one of the things which is very interesting, and this is critical for us to know.
First and foremost, let me start off with, we are not privy to individual specific Data, reports, findings.
We have suspicions.
Areas that we want to have people review.
Regarding the Black Hawk helicopter, recently they were showing very, very proudly how it can become autonomous.
It can be controlled.
That's number one.
Next.
We're going to see, and you've seen, how the news changes.
Now they're saying it was higher, higher, it was flying higher versus lower.
And remember this morning when I was saying, I hope you did, how do we know who this pilot is?
People were saying, it's this transgender.
Well, I think somebody started that.
I don't know.
Did somebody just put that on X?
Yes.
That reminds me, all of these mainstream news stations, and you know this from the newsrooms, they have all the monitors, okay?
One CBS does a story, NBC says go with that story.
They don't even do the research or vetting.
So where did this come from?
Did somebody just say this about this person and then everybody went with it?
All of a sudden, all of a sudden they went and they said this person, and I remember this morning, and I said, because it was up rather early, and I said, because they showed two pictures.
One was...
A pilot, I think, with some type of a Navy hat or something with his family, and then this transgender.
I would like, though, 67 people, we were told, died.
I think it is their duty to provide a list.
They provided all the other names.
I find it very suspicious, again, that's just me, why we can't know the name.
I know...
In the media, it said the family does not want her name made public.
Why?
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
No, I just think this is what happens now.
People will just start.
Their minds are going crazy.
They'll make things up.
They'll put it out there online.
People will run with it.
And we will not have the correct answer.
Where's Pete Hexeth?
Can we have a little...
You know, so it makes you think.
And almost rightfully so.
There is a little more to this story.
We're just not being told.
Why can't we know the name?
What does this mean?
What about they said, we do not want a woman's name to be...
Well, here we go.
Remember this person.
This...
This military pilot, this woman here, they showed this, you can't see this, this fellow, and then this guy, it was a...
I don't know, is that AI?
Like, I don't know.
How do we know those aren't manufactured images?
And it's interesting, they showed a picture of a pilot, one wearing an army uniform and one wearing a navy uniform, and all of them were put out...
And here we go, this one particular trans pilot said, it's not me.
And what I said this morning was...
Isn't that the same person?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But what I'm saying is, listen.
And I want you to listen to me because I'm supposed to be Mr. Conspiracy Theorist or whatever.
I hate that term.
Don't ever rule anything out as a possibility.
But a possibility does not mean proof.
A possibility does not mean that, let's go there.
I was on the Sean Atwood show before, out of the UK, and a woman called up, typed in or whatever, and she said, my brother was in accident investigation, and he says that pilot deliberately crashed the plane.
How do you know this?
How do we know any of the facts?
You said before, we're going to be finding new things.
Wait a minute, it wasn't 200 feet, it was 500 feet.
And then if I get one more of you wonderful people sending me this dude, this feller, who has this YouTube, who tracks it, he's a pilot, and it's like, I know what this is, here's a 200, 500.
That doesn't answer all the questions.
Do you think we're ever going to get to the answer of everything, the bottom of everything?
About this?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
Never.
Whatever they tell us will be the eventual official story.
Do you think Pete Hedges is going to tell us everything, even though if it hurts morale, hurts the Pentagon?
Do you think he's really going to do anything to say everything?
No, he can't.
No, he can't.
He can't.
But in the meantime...
What else?
What a tragedy.
I know.
How about that Ainsley?
I mean, I saw it in real time because I admit, getting up at 4 a.m., I, many times in the background, will put on Fox.
Most of the time with no sound.
It's probably better, yeah.
Well, because I'm working.
And if I see a guest come on, like a Tom Holman, you know, then I'll want to listen to it.
But, you know, they repeat at 4 in the morning.
You know, they got the five, they got the gut feel, whatever they have.
They got Laura Ingram.
I happened to, this was Fox and Friends, the actual show.
Yeah.
And I turned up the sound because it was about the crash.
That's what I did.
And I'm working and I heard what she said and I looked up.
What did she say?
To see the guest.
Look, we still have, I think we still have bodies in the water.
I don't think they retrieved.
I can't even say that.
It's horrible for all the family members.
At the time she said it.
At the time she said it.
Does everybody know what she said?
No, I'm just trying to clean it up a little bit.
They had a pilot on, right?
A Navy SEAL.
I'm sorry, a Navy SEAL.
You're right, a Navy SEAL.
And all of a sudden, she's pressing him.
And I'll clean it up a little bit.
Like, what were they going through in their last moments?
Were they praying?
And I'm thinking, wow, this was yesterday.
This was all fresh and new.
And the look on his face.
And I think he said, oh gosh, or oh jolly, he said something like that.
What is she doing?
Even if she had some 12-year-old producer-type copy person write the script, which she does, obviously she doesn't read through her notes beforehand, you would catch yourself saying those kind of things?
Or did she just throw it in there?
Yes.
Why would you say this when children are in the water, or anybody, and keep pressing about?
It disgusts me.
She's a gedrool.
It disgusts me.
It's beyond that.
Pressing this guest about their last moments and their eight seconds.
Horrible.
Horrible.
One time, years ago, I don't know if I told you this, but one time there was a story in Florida that they always talked about.
It was a local news station.
And it was a woman who was doing the evening news, kind of a local, small market.
And the story was there was a school bus that was stuck.
On a train track and the, you know, trying to start the bus and it was stuck or crap, whatever it was.
And a train was coming in on it.
So the moments of horror as these kids are looking at it, you know, and they're trying to start the school bus.
Anyway, splat.
Okay.
The woman came back after this report.
People were horrified.
The woman, the anchor said, well, better luck next time.
She wasn't thinking.
She was worried about this, and then this weather guy's next, and this guy's talking in her ear, and she just said she wasn't thinking.
Okay.
The next scene out of commercial was a guy standing there with a headset on.
It was like the floor director.
He's doing the show.
I would like to interrupt you with this update from the scene from somebody.
This is horrifying.
Emergency personnel in Philadelphia are responding to Roosevelt Mall for a mass casualty incident.
A plane crashed into the mall.
A portion of the mall has collapsed.
Numerous people are trapped.
Firefighters have declared a mass casualty incident.
Houses in the area are on fire.
Wires are down.
Update, portion of the mall is on fire.
Houses are on fire.
Updates.
Scanners are all over the place.
People possibly trapped in homes.
Wires down.
Plane.
It is a very, very, very significant.
Horrible.
I can't show you the photos.
This looks like a bomb hit.
This area.
By the way, special thanks to Sue.
Hang on a minute.
There she is.
Sue says there was another plane crash into a mall in Philly just now.
Yep.
That's what we are talking about, Sue.
Thank you.
It's horrible.
Look at this.
A small plane could cause this kind of...
See?
There you go!
Sorry, I'm looking at something from the scene that was sent to me, and this doesn't look like a small plane is causing...
If this picture is real, and it's coming from a very reliable source, this is not a small plane.
Well...
I can't believe.
Part of the mall collapsed?
And this massive fire?
That that plane, with that small amount of gas, a little tank of a plane, would cause, unless it ignited something, causing this particular...
This is horrible.
Lori Cuck says, we got a bug going around, fever, cough, pain.
Alrighty.
We've got a bug, fever, cough, and pain.
With a heart.
Lori, feel better, Lori.
There is actually a lot of sickness going around, so everybody should feel better, stay healthy, stay safe.
A friend of mine who is a physician who used to work and kind of hangs around kind of like city walk-in clinics, he says, there is always something going around.
At any given time, there are things...
Going around.
Every year at Christmas time, I get my annual two-day flute.
Remember this?
We both got it this time.
Yeah, but I'm like a one-dayer.
And I will it away.
And then you're like a two-dayer, and then you get rid of it.
Yeah, it just goes away.
I just don't know.
Isn't it wonderful?
Ladies and gentlemen, isn't it wonderful?
How we as citizens are our news sources.
We, in the old time, the old days, we were kids, would have never known about this.
We would have had to have been listening to the radio, maybe, and at home you would have done this.
There was nothing on TV.
Nobody broke in.
Do you know that when Walter Cronkite broke in for the Kennedy assassination, this was just unheard of.
They didn't know what to do.
He's breaking in, and now we live with such immediacy.
Well, we're becoming habituated.
Yes.
It's becoming normalized.
Now, let me do this.
What I do is I go to X, and I go to the latest, I go to news.
X to me is the best.
The best.
Now, isn't this something?
Do you not think it odd that right with all that is going on...
With all that is going on in D.C., we get this.
Okay, Philly.
But can you imagine the horror?
You're at the mall.
Partial mall collapse.
That is a very huge mall.
And also parking lot houses on top of it.
Look at this.
This is...
I just take the breaking update.
12 minutes.
The plane crashed.
Appears to be a Learjet 55 air ambulance from Mexico.
This is according to Nick Sartor.
It seems to have crashed shortly after takeoff from Philly's Executive Airport.
No word on what caused it.
So it's a jet versus a small plane.
Well, it was first reported small plane by the New Jersey well-vetted source.
So I don't know what's...
And we have, look at this, look at this picture from a ring, a person's, look at the...
Does that not look like...
I know, you can't see this, but the explosion of this.
This, I think the jet makes more sense.
Again, breaking news.
Again, more pictures.
It's just incredible.
The amount of information.
Look at this picture.
I don't want to look.
I know you can't see this.
You have to pray for these people.
This is horrible.
Innocent people being, no.
Kelly McKinnon, by the way, says, thank you for all you do, Lionel and Mrs. L. Kelly, you are such a doll.
Thank you very much.
I'm just so upset between DC and between this now breaking.
I'm going to say it again, everybody.
Our kids are seeing all this.
When we were kids, we were somewhat shielded, right?
Yep.
From things.
And I also think when we were kids, I don't know if this is true or not, but it was in my household.
You know, my parents were careful not to discuss every single thing in front of us, whether that's good or bad.
And it was good in our case.
I had great parents.
You did too.
So we were somewhat shielded, right?
Definitely didn't have the internet.
But now the kids, can you imagine being a 12-year-old and seeing this and just crashing into the mall?
Maybe you live in that area.
You go to that mall.
The fear.
All of this adds to, you know, the youth mental health crisis and everything going on.
People have to talk to their kids.
I know it's hard to do.
And especially it's hard to say, you're safe at home, you're safe with us.
When these are people just going to a mall, minding their own business, it's a very tough thing today.
Can you tell us the story, without mentioning the name, of course, of a friend of yours who said that she...
I'm posting a brand new copy of my Sean Atwood interview.
You knew a woman, I know a woman, who is involved in various entertainment and artistic ventures, and she has friends of hers, friends of hers who came to her and said something to the effect of, listen, don't tell anybody, but we voted for Trump.
Tell us about that.
Well, that's kind of the story there.
Oh, sorry about that.
She was telling me that She has many different friends, well-established in business, this woman.
And she was shocked over the last few years, such a division, that you could never really bring up a fact about Trump or Republicans or the good work.
Because, as I always say to everybody, I will talk about a Democrat and the good work.
If it warrants that, I will talk about a Republican.
The work we do, the human rights abuses, the kids, is supposed to be a bipartisan.
And a lot of the legislation we have is indeed bipartisan.
So she was telling me she gave up trying to, and she's non-confrontational at all, you know, maybe over dinner when she's out with a group, point out the facts.
So she shut her mouth.
Then she said, fast forward to the election, and she said many of these people came to her separately.
And said, you know, we don't want anybody to know, but we want you to know, because she's always been a staunch supporter of Trump.
And it's really about, sure, we don't like everything maybe he has done in his lifetime.
It doesn't matter.
What is good for America?
And she was telling me how one after the other would come to her, telling her.
We went in and voted for him.
And we know that, because we know the election.
I'm sure that happened all over the United States.
Now, what I'd like to see, frankly, I really do want to see the Amish acknowledged.
I'm waiting for that.
Scott Pressler?
No, Scott Pressler is now working diligently in New Jersey to flip that.
Bill Spadia just stepped aside from his radio show.
Oh, good.
While he's running for governor.
Good.
Vote New Jersey, Bill Spadia.
He's all in, and that's who people should look into and vote for if you're in New Jersey.
So Scott Pressler is there.
I think he's going to make a tremendous, tremendous difference.
I want to see him being given a little more support.
He's being acknowledged and all that, but he's really about the work.
So he's there, and he did it in Pennsylvania.
I think he can really do it in New Jersey.
He's the guy.
Our good friend, hang on one second.
Lori Cook says we got a bug around here.
Kelly.
Well, I don't know.
They announced you can't eat Lay's potato chips.
A high level of something going on.
I got something else yesterday about some sort of chocolate out of a farm in California.
Do not eat anymore.
Seems like there's a lot of nerve-wracking things happening around us.
Our good friend cut up chatter says stay busy doing helpful things and be despondency.
Small creative tasks for getting For gifting can lift your spirit.
Don't become depressed.
Thank you.
Lori Cuck says, Andy Ngo says there's a group of radical cereal at work.
C-E-R-E-A-L, like post-hosties or live cereal.
Andy Ngo is very, very good.
Very, very excellent good.
By the way, may I give you a wonderful...
I know this is terrible.
I found one of the best...
There is a woman.
You will love her to death.
Her name is...
That doesn't look like her.
That really doesn't look like her.
No, no.
This is a woman.
This is a woman.
An Amish cooking.
Have you seen her?
Here she is.
Look at this.
She is called literally...
It's called Lovina Hershberger at literally just a girl.
And she, look at, she does all these things.
She does, she makes Sunday lunch, pretzels, she's Amish.
Where does Lovina, what does it say there?
Where does she live?
She's in, it says here, I grew up Amish and I'm the second oldest in the family with 13 kids.
If you want to learn more about the Amish, I would love you to subscribe to my channel.
It's called Lavinia...
Okay, not for nothing.
I'm just going to say Hershberger.
Hershberger.
Lavinia.
Lavinia Hershberger.
But look at this.
She wears the same clothes, this green thing, but she never looks down.
Whenever she cooks, she looks right at the camera.
She says, pour this in, chop.
She looks right at the camera the whole time.
Anyway, she does one of these great...
She makes bread.
She never looks down.
She's chopping.
She's baking.
She looks right at the camera.
She doesn't look at what she's chopping.
Yes.
That is very strange.
You know what?
She is fantastic.
I'm going to give you her name.
Yeah, and I'm going to add her with her not looking down.
I love...
Have you ever seen like old women, these Italian women who cook the nonnas?
Let me put this up here for you.
These Italian women...
Oh, it breaks my heart when I see that, but to show you how to make an Italian teller...
Here we go.
This is her.
Please follow her.
She's wonderful.
Meatloaf.
Imagine one of 13 kids.
I think she's fantastic.
Can you imagine all the food you have to make?
She's missing three fingers.
No, seriously, how do you chop, though?
You've got to see this.
I'm going to be reviewing this because she edits the videos.
When you're chopping things up, you have to look down at the onion.
I'm going to watch, but I'm not trusting that.
Cutup says, Amish came out to say, hint, hint, President Trump.
Build barns and they're ready.
They are the...
I am dying to go.
Dana had to build those little houses.
They have to be brought in.
I'm reading up on...
I just got something about Gavin Newsom.
Oh, read it.
Well, Gavin Newsom being served with Governor of California, for now everybody, being served with recall petition calling...
For his removal following L.A. Fire's catastrophe.
And if you don't mind my plugging myself, please follow Lynn's Warriors on YouTube because my friend and colleague, I will call her Cece Woods, we did a great...
I don't like the word interview, but I guess I have to use it for shorthand.
We had a great chat together.
Cece's an investigative reporter out in California, really doing great work.
And she really filled me in, thus us, on the government there and what's going on behind the scenes and the corruption and the this and the that.
So please watch that and share that if you are so inclined.
But, you know, my big question to Cece was, will this stick?
Because people forget so quickly about things.
And she said, this will indeed stick.
Meaning, getting rid of a lot of...
The Gavin Newsom, the Karen Bass, all of these people.
And I travel a lot.
I meet a lot of conservative and Republican people when I'm in California.
I think it's time, everybody.
Tell them about your FBI agent friend who's terrific.
Oh, Jen Coffindaffer?
Is that a great name?
Coffindaffer.
Coffindaffer.
Like coffin and then daffer.
Coffindaffer.
Jen...
She served about 30 years in the FBI with counterterrorism, and she took down these gangs and cartels and weapons, and to look at her, you'd think, that's a nice mom, because she is a mom of three kids.
I'm very proud of it.
She's now retired, but she continues her good work.
She has a wonderful podcast.
I talked to her yesterday, so please look at that on Lynn's Warriors YouTube.
The podcast is called Break the Case.
I love Jen Coffindaffer.
Although she calls herself retired, she's really not.
She's doing so many crime alerts, crime updates, expert witnesses, psychologists, psychiatrists.
Because Jen follows up.
As opposed to, where is this missing child, Sebastian Rogers, which happened over a year ago?
She keeps at it with the follow-up.
And we always say, where's the follow-up, right?
Who's keeping at it?
And Jen does this because her ultimate goal is showcasing Missing children, supporting, of course, all the work we do here at the Warriors, and also seeking justice.
And she was telling me, because I asked her, how do you feel about all the people on the Internet with their opinions and this and that?
She has a huge following.
She said, no, actually, it's very good, these Internet sleuths.
They really dig in and find things.
And so she likes it.
She likes people weighing in and digging around.
And you should see, you wouldn't believe the work she's doing with Nancy Grace.
Unbelievable.
Nancy Grace is so huge.
She is so huge.
And I refuse to talk about baby oil with her, but I'll leave it at that.
I'll leave it at that.
And dirty ditty, as I like to call him.
I don't want to talk about baby oil.
Nancy wants to do shows over and over again about Diddy and his baby oil.
And I always say, let us.
That may, you know, two years ago.
It is interesting, but we'll leave that for another program, because this is a family show here.
But I'll always say, well, I want to talk about those victims, alleged victims, and survivors of all of this exploitation, even if it's not anything to do with Diddy.
Because people are hanging, they're contacting me, victims, survivors we work with.
They want this case to stick in some way, shape, form, and start holding people accountable.
And that story is another story we will never get to the bottom of.
Lori says, have two J6ers been, and then she refers to a dispatch, we will see about that one.
That's very interesting.
Nelson A. says...
Me, Mrs. and Mr. L, so glad you're both back.
Love Ventilation Friday.
Thank you, Nelson.
You were a good man.
I did hear something about the J.A. Sixers.
That this, what's his name?
J.D. Pritzer.
This Pritzker, Pritzer.
From Illinois?
Yeah, the governor.
He put something out.
He said they can't be hired at all for jobs or something like that.
Anybody with that.
So that's another one.
In Illinois?
In Illinois.
I just had a thought.
It might sound kind of not my usual nice way.
That's a guy, when I see him, I want to stick a pin in him and let him pop.
Does that make sense?
Who in their right mind is defending these illegals perpetrating these crimes against Americans?
I don't understand anybody doing that.
And when I bring this up to people, that...
By the way, the latest, our friend Laura Loomer, who was just...
You know what?
She's wild.
And I like wild.
Laura Loomer says, another plane just crashed in Philadelphia.
Steve Keeley, by the way, Steve Keeley is from Fox 29 News in Philly.
That's Philly.
Steve Keeley says, six just killed on the airplane that just took off from Northeast Philadelphia.
Fully police sources tell me you're on the scene.
Two doctors, two pilots, one patient, and one family member.
Apparently this is some type of a medical...
Look at the...
We don't know, though.
Going to Mexico?
Coming from Mexico?
We don't know.
Well, I think they were going to...
Maybe some type of air...
It was like a medical plane or something.
Would the Mexicans come here for medical treatment as opposed to...
You don't have to raise your voice.
I forgot.
I thought I was on Nancy Grace for a minute because I'm always yelling on the show.
Oh, I know.
I hear you yelling.
I try because, you know, I'm on a panel always and the other guests are always very sedate.
Very sedate.
And when it comes to me, I can't look at that because that looks like a mess.
These ring phones.
Look at this ring.
Look at this.
Watch this.
Right behind it.
Look at this.
See how things are going down right now?
This is unbelievable.
This is sad.
Now look at Laura Loomer, how good she is.
She says, I have obtained the registration number of the plane that just crashed.
Well, how'd she get that that fast?
From a screenshot of the engine, whatever, in the, it says, it's a medical air ambulance and it's owned and operated by Jet Rescue Air Ambulance.
It's a Learjet 55. She's got the registration number.
It's incredible how they I just find these great, great, great...
She's like an internet sleuth.
She provides, and others, we've got others that do that as well.
They get this video, which must be sent to them immediately.
She got it from the...
Do you ever hear this word?
A nacelle.
N-A-C-E-L-L-E.
This is a streamlined housing or a tank for something on the outside of an aircraft.
An N-A-C-E-L-L-E.
I never heard of that word.
Well, she's not there.
A nacelle.
No!
Somebody sent it to her.
Yeah, but still, she's...
This is the best.
Right.
This is the best news.
This is journalism.
This is better than anything.
And that's what everybody should be, you know, leveraging the internet for good because you'll wake up tomorrow and you'll have like OAN or Fox or CNN with the video.
You know, we already know about it.
Carolina says Loomer's throwing around the F-bombs.
Yeah, I know.
You know, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't like that.
There's no need for that.
I also want to say something to Candace Owens.
Does Brigitte Macron, does anybody really care about this?
Oh, it's interesting.
But let me explain something to you.
I don't think it's so interesting.
We have all these other things going on.
I feel like, let that go.
Why keep talking about it?
We have to talk about the kids.
Does anybody even know that this is an America's School Choice Week?
No.
And it's Friday.
No.
There was no promotion about it.
There's no talk about it.
Today in the White House, Sarah Huckabee, I like her very much.
I think she has a great future.
I could see her being president one day.
I kid you not.
And very good presence.
Very stable.
Very smart.
Was heading up a round table at the White House all about school choice.
We pay taxes.
We should be able to pick the schools we want, whether charter, private, public, homeschooling.
Those dollars go the way we want.
And you know what?
I believe President Trump will...
And act that so that there will be school choice.
People thought I was serious when I said you were yelling.
They thought I was serious.
And they're saying things like, yeah, but you do all the yelling.
They don't know a joke.
They have no sense of humor.
People don't have...
No.
Listen, I don't know.
I am a loud talker.
I do yell a lot when I'm on a microphone.
But it's an old joke sometimes.
People don't...
Take things literally.
They don't understand nuance, sarcasm.
One of the funniest jokes is when you're at a store or somebody's talking to you, tell them, you know, you don't have to yell.
And they're saying, I'm not yelling.
It's an old joke.
People don't get it.
But I think maybe you scare people.
No, I don't.
Yeah, you're intense.
You could scare people.
I think you scare people.
Laurie Cuck, by the way, says, Mrs. L, Macron has to do with kids.
Victims become predators.
We don't have proof on that.
We can talk about that until the moon, sun comes up.
Let me explain something to you.
See, everybody should understand.
I'm cutting you off right now for a minute because it's Mentilation Friday.
You should know something about me at the Warriors.
We will talk.
I will always say something is my opinion.
I don't have proof, okay?
And I don't even say that that often.
I stick to facts, reality.
Truths, sources that give me the information, whether it's law enforcement, government, that I know were true.
I'm not going to talk about her.
I don't know if any of that's true.
Do you know if that's true?
And I'm not going to waste our time.
We're just talking about the D.C. crash, this horrible thing that happened outside of Philadelphia.
I don't want to talk about that.
But it's also, she's mean, it's snide.
No, but what does it have to do...
Uh-oh.
Go ahead.
Should I answer that?
No, no.
Well, no, no.
Let me go in the other room.
No, let me not.
Let me not.
We're doing a ventilation Friday.
Let's just let it go.
Go ahead.
Keep talking.
Let me just text something.
Go ahead.
Keep talking.
No, but I'm just saying, I wish everybody would...
Obviously, everybody's entitled to say what they want, do what they want, as long as you don't harm children and animals.
But I'm over that.
I mean, we are fighting for our America.
We are fighting.
Everybody thinks...
Excuse me.
Everything, and it is indeed, two weeks President Trump's been in office, so much has happened as we started Ventilation Friday with.
I've never been involved in so much, at least for the work I do, in the right direction of helping children, helping families, things you don't even know about yet that will be unleashed.
But that being said, we have to remain vigilant the next four years, all of us, just in our home, our thinking, no, wait a minute, in our communities.
We have to think about four years from now, also, when President Trump, I know it seems far, far away, to continue on this path we cannot allow.
Can you imagine what we'll be talking about in four years?
Two things.
Nelson says, this Philly crash looks like a missile.
Why is all this happening under Trump strange indeed?
First of all, it looks like a missile?
Why would it look like a missile?
Well, maybe Nelson thinks that's what the...
Nelson looked at pictures and that looks like the response of a missile.
It does indeed look like a bomb to me, but I don't know.
Who's a plane?
I hope they tell us maybe who was on the plane.
Next thing.
I want you to look very carefully at who are the people that President Trump does not have anymore in his circle.
Okay, when he was running.
But not now, because they're too extreme and too out there.
We're not going to mention any names, but we know.
Let me just say this.
It's great to be fiery and combative and all that, but I think Stiles and others are telling him right away, you are not going to be associated with people that...
Suzy Wiles.
Wiles.
I call her Stiles.
Because she's stylish.
She has a style.
You know what I like about Suzy Wiles?
She's not a camera hogger.
She wants to be behind the scenes.
At the convention with his nomination, no, it was that night, right?
She didn't want to, when he called her out, and that's what we need.
People like that want to be behind the scenes and they don't want to be a celebrity or star.
She's tough as nails, that one.
But just remember, watch the people.
Who are not going to be anywhere near this because they are considered, that's all I'm saying.
It's kind of fun, you know, that kind of stuff.
We don't have time for that.
After what we just went through, no.
We don't have time.
And what we went through before that, so we've had like eight years, right, of a lot going on.
And then we had Obama.
I don't think most Americans were awake then, right?
So we don't even know what was going on then, leading up to all this.
We have to remain vigilant now, educated, and on point.
Right, right.
What else were you going to say?
You were saying something else.
February 22nd, meet Mrs. L at the cutting room.
Meet you.
We are going to have a celebration, but what I really want you to do is...
It goes so fast when we're there, right?
Oh, God.
It feels like you start and it's over.
I really would like Q&A.
I want...
It's a whole show.
I want people to ask their questions.
I think there's a lot that's going to happen in the next three weeks.
It's like so much.
You don't want...
I don't even call it a show.
It's kind of like a tutorial.
It's weird.
And it's kind of...
Imagine Ed...
Ted Talks...
There's no name for it.
Meets...
I don't know about that one at all.
I can't stand plain old...
Comedian.
Okay, but I ran into somebody yesterday on the street.
Mm-hmm.
Streets?
Streets.
And she said, a friend of ours, a fan of yours.
Oh, yes, yes.
And she's like, I can't wait to come to Lionel's comedy show.
Yeah.
And I guess because the news itself is comedy.
Yeah.
That's how she perceives it.
Whatever.
Call it what you want.
Just be there if possible.
Or support.
Maybe you're not in the area.
You don't mind my saying that.
No, no, no.
Because we give tickets to college kids or people who can't really afford it type of thing.
First responders.
First responders.
Fire.
Cops.
Yes.
We're very much vets.
We do a lot of things like that.
So whatever you can do to support, I'm not shy about saying that.
Go ahead.
I'm still...
I know you're looking at messages coming in and things on my phone.
I don't...
You know, it's very curious.
It's very curious.
But let's ask everybody else.
I'll put my specs on for this one so I can look at comments while you do that.
I'm curious.
I'm going to change up the whole subject now.
Even though we're talking about all this far.
What is everybody doing this weekend?
I'd like to hear some suggestions of what everybody is doing.
So I'll wait because there's a little bit of a lag with the chat.
Let's see what everybody's saying.
Did you know that Ringo Starr was on Jimmy Kimmel?
And he asked Star to clean up.
Wait a minute.
Mrs. L keeping Lionel in check.
Aww.
Well, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for that.
You know what?
We keep each other in check.
Oh, Lori Cockerby 51 at midnight.
It's going to be her birthday tomorrow?
February 1?
No, at midnight.
It's her birthday.
Everybody weigh in for Lori and please wish her a happy birthday.
Let's go, everybody.
Happy birthday, Lori.
Let's go.
Send your love.
Can you move that so I can see comments?
Oh, I'm sorry.
And Kay says you are a comedian because she laughed so hard.
By the way.
Ringo Starr never had pizza.
I'm just saying.
I don't believe that.
No, he's looking for clicks and likes.
Carla, our dear friend Carla, the cooking CEO.
Carla's so supportive.
I'm looking at my YouTubes, my Twitter, putting comments, and that's what we need, everybody.
We simul test on YouTube, on the telly, and X on the phone.
The best of both worlds.
We will be swimming.
Oh, absolutely.
We were talking about...
Carla's coming to the show.
Absolutely.
Look at this.
Nelson A., ladies and gentlemen.
Nelson says, buy a tix on my behalf to a vet at Suffer.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Nelson, thank you very much.
You got it.
Because our vets, I don't have to go into it.
Everybody knows the story.
We have a lot of them.
And you know what?
I noticed with your shows, for lack of a better word, they will come alone, a lot of them.
Because I greet everybody at the door, and I see people, and I mingle, and I talk to people.
And, you know, I'll pair them up.
Because, you know, at clubs, it could be a table of two, right?
A small table.
And if a single person comes in, and I'll sit them with somebody else, you know, and when I talk to them a little bit, and then they'll tell me.
And we usually say, anybody who's a vet, stand up at the end to thank them for their service.
So you have a big following there.
So thank you, Nelson.
That means the world.
To us and to them.
So thank you very much.
Lori Cook's going to be 51. At midnight.
Is everybody saying happy birthday?
Look at all these happy birthdays.
Just a child.
A mere child at 51. And I can't read from here, even with my glasses.
Tipping the cows after midnight.
You tip the cows?
There we go.
Now, Cut Up Chatter.
That's very interesting.
Just that name.
Cut Up Chatter, isn't it?
Have you ever seen my first comment?
Yeah, we did that.
You know what, Cobb?
We appreciate that.
Send our emails so that we can focus on this.
We appreciate so much of what you're doing.
But for personal things, kind of send emails so we can talk about different things so that people don't say, what?
Because of the lag in the chat sometimes.
By the time we see the comment, we're on to something else because I noticed when I do my YouTube.
Sometimes I have to stop the response.
I don't know for a second what it's...
Right, exactly.
And I know I talk fast when I do my YouTube, and I'm going a mile a minute.
I can't keep up, but that's me.
Sometimes somebody will say, did you get the book?
Did you get the book?
People are saying, what book?
So we appreciate that.
No, that's okay.
But you got our emails, and we will take care of that.
Laura loves us, and that's enough for me.
Thank you, Laura.
Absolutely.
Because we love you.
We love everybody.
We really do.
And I want...
It's going to sound really...
Phony.
People need to love each other, you know, respect each other, and listen to each other, don't you think?
Absolutely.
Oh, you know what?
What?
It kind of slightly bothered me, and I don't really know why, about Marianne Faithfull.
Yeah.
Maybe because she was part of my, like, youth kind of thing, and it's just like another person gone.
And then somebody else turned 95, I think, today.
Was it Gene Hackman?
Gene Hackman.
Was that today or yesterday?
Today or yesterday?
I don't know.
He's 95, and she had a...
What a life, huh?
Oh, my God.
That we know about.
I mean, she left her children and went and lived on the streets and was a heroin addict.
Sad, sad, sad.
Horrible.
But I felt bad about it, right?
Some people still can't get your newsletter.
Don't understand it.
Get thousands of people who do.
I don't know what to tell you.
Also, make sure you put in your...
Correct email.
Also, in your address book, put in Lionel at LionelMedia.com.
Lionel at LionelMedia.com.
So it recognizes it because, remember, we have that quarantine list every single day.
It's not the...
It's not the junk folder.
It's the quarantine.
It's email parameters or junk parameters.
And we get...
So anyway, don't know what to tell you.
I like...
Oh, hang on.
MatlissX says, did Biden pardon Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken?
You know?
I don't know why he would because that would not be a federal case.
Wouldn't we have heard about that by now?
That would be a California case.
That would be state.
And that case doesn't make any sense.
I've never...
That's a little fishy.
No pun intended.
She was deathly afraid of swimming.
And at night, she would have dove off of this boat into the...
Dark or fallen drunk.
No, but she claims.
They say, oh no, she dove in.
And they said, no, she...
Well, there's that captain, remember?
He came forward with saying things years later.
Her sister always maintained a lot of stories.
There's a lot of stuff out there.
But you know what?
It's funny because...
Well, I won't say it.
Yeah.
We have these...
There's always something to be said for that.
Well, there's smoke, there's fire.
And Walken never...
Walken?
Well, one day we'll tell you that...
Well, we can't.
We're not ventilating very well right now.
Let's go on to another story.
The stuff that we hear, the rumors are great.
But I don't think that's...
That's not my idea of a good time to say, well, I'm hearing...
We always hear rumors.
I also want to point out, you know who's doing some terrific tweets?
Justine Bateman.
Having looked at her stuff, she's very down to earth.
She's pointing out all of these things happening in California and what the people need.
Seriously, I'm very proud of her.
And she's just doing her thing, and I love that.
And I really think that's what we need more of.
She's putting out facts like that.
And she looks like a regular person.
Well, let's still talk about looks, okay?
What I'm saying is...
How about somebody wrote to me the other day...
It is...
Go ahead.
Ready for this?
Yeah.
But you know me.
I'm tough.
Like, I don't care.
Bring it on, okay?
You won't get a rise out of me.
You won't get a response out of me.
You'll get nothing, okay?
Which drives people more nuts.
I wrote to me...
It's not a joke.
Even though I'm starting to smile.
And told me, I'm going to clean it up.
Because there were little words I don't want to say because I'm a lady.
About my fat cankles.
Now, you do not have them.
But how would you know?
Now, you would think maybe somebody's trying to make a joke.
But there's nothing funny about that.
And what has anybody ever seen?
That's what I'm saying.
With the exception of you.
Right, but I'm saying...
But really?
Maybe they misdirected that.
That was supposed to go to Hillary Clinton.
Remember that whole fiasco where she never wore a dress again after that comment?
You don't see any parts of my body.
Maybe that happened with...
Oh, with Kemala.
By the way, rumor has it, he's here.
He's going to be at a New York law firm?
Is that it or something?
It is a New York LA law firm.
He's splitting his time between New York and LA.
He's splitting his time around.
That old story.
Actually, kind of in our neighborhood.
Not far away.
I don't care about him.
I don't even want to talk about them.
They make me sick.
Doesn't that seem like a...
Like a decade ago.
It seems like, I said to somebody yesterday, it never was, even though all that horror happened.
It seems to me like Trump's just kind of been there the whole time.
Like, it's just all erased.
By the way, I don't want to bring this up.
Mrs. L was very upset tonight.
I could hear her weeping softly.
Chuck Todd's leaving, honey.
I know you were.
You took that to heart.
Chuck Todd is going.
And the other one left.
And said he had an exciting announcement the other day.
He's starting a sub.
Jim Acosta.
Jim Acosta said he...
I actually got something, an exciting announcement.
It wasn't a joke or anything.
Exciting announcement, everybody.
I'm starting a sub stack.
Good for you, Jason.
You and everybody else.
No, Jim...
Oh, J-A.
I don't even know their names anymore.
Nora O'Donnell left, too, and her numbers went up like 20%.
So they told us.
I don't know.
But you know what?
They're just not...
Forget the people.
They're not paying those huge salaries that were paid out beginning in the late 80s, 90s, all the way up.
They're just not doing it, these failing media companies.
And it's also over because we don't need this anymore.
We just don't.
And they never got on board, which was a good...
I'm going to say you were one of the original podcasters.
That's true.
And you were given an award.
As being, you don't really talk about yourself that much.
My husband, he's very humble and shy about himself.
But he was an original podcaster.
And I remember, what was that, like 15 years ago?
I gotta check.
I think it was.
And people would constantly say, because we're great believers in you create your own product.
You create, you be at the forefront.
You be your own boss.
Right?
Podcast.
You started this and people would constantly say to you, in the media business, I don't know what that is.
Explain that.
It's not a radio station.
It's not a TV station.
They never understood.
This was at a talker's convention.
And the guy then, I was with Tom Likas.
I don't remember him.
He was doing this, but it seemed it was so evident.
This was just going...
Well, part of my story is about the mainstream media is that's when they should have jumped on.
You know, they're trying to catch up and catch up and hang on and hang on, right?
Even over the last five years.
And what has happened?
Failing.
This is the place to be.
This is the media.
That's what it is.
Lori Cuck says, Victor Hansen told a story about the Fang Fang coming to see him with a low-cut shirt on.
The Fang Fang.
Remember Fang Fang?
No, the Fang Fang was...
Isn't it that woman?
Swalwell's, the Chinese, that one?
She went to him with a low-cut shirt?
He always says a lot of words wrong.
Oh, God, he's the worst!
And I was actually in a meeting the other day.
It was actually a Zoom meeting.
And the whole time the woman leading the meeting kept mispronouncing someone's name, last name, in the government.
Oh.
So I thought since the meeting she should, and I wanted to jump out of the seat, but I was not leading the meeting.
It bothered me.
She said it 50 times over and over.
There's a person in the government, you should really know their name.
Right.
But it's so disrespectful when you keep saying it the wrong way.
How many times I ask you how to pronounce this, or I look it up, or I see somebody's on video, how they pronounce their own name.
I always want to make sure I have the name right.
Max Blumenthal referred to Pam Bondi as Pam Bondi.
No, he didn't.
Why would he say that?
I don't know.
But I like that.
Thank you.
Victor Davis Hanson is good, but he bores me.
But he says so many things.
He pronounces them wrong.
He's obviously smart.
He says some good things.
Why is he talking like that?
He also says that Trump has a Queen's accent.
No, he doesn't.
No, not at all.
We know other people who do.
But you know what?
At least it's a different perspective.
Why do people hate the New York Post, National Review?
They hate.
Hate.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
I loved him.
Three people this week I loved.
Bobby Kennedy, Cash Patel.
Cash Patel's kind of got a little bit of strabismus.
He's got that one eye.
Cash Patel.
Don't do that.
He's got that one eye that goes like that.
That's like, you know, Mr. Patel, over here.
Anyway, Cash Patel.
Tulsi Gabbard was fantastic.
They were asking the question.
You heard it.
Is Edward Stone the traitor?
The answer is, no, he's not a traitor.
But somehow, if she just said, thank you, Teresa.
Somehow, if they just said, thank you, Teresa.
Somehow, if they just said, Edward Snowden is not a traitor.
What if they sat there?
No, they couldn't do that, I guess.
But I did say to you, I understand questioning, trying to go deep, really, for these important positions.
They're so confrontational, though.
Their attitude, I'm sorry, they're just looking to get on television with their clips and likes.
That bullshit artist, pardon my French, Cory Booker.
Where's he been?
How about Bob Menendez?
Well, Cory Booker better go back to Newark and help his people.
I could never understand.
Newark, New Jersey, my entire life, because I grew up in New Jersey, was always falling apart.
There were always problems.
That is actually beautiful property.
Remember Jim Sharp?
No, Sharp, what was his name?
Sharp James.
No, but that is beautiful property right on the other side, you know, basically of the Hudson.
Why that could never be developed, I know they tried over the years.
And Camden is beautiful!
Well, Camden, they did a lot of, I believe...
Was it the Campbell Soup or something?
Well, it was, but...
Rutgers?
I think it's the Rutgers Law School years ago, and that was kind of the anchor, putting in then townhouses, rebuilding, getting back to that.
In the day, Camden had beautiful old homes and architecture.
But I'm saying, I can never understand the Newark.
I can only imagine they want to leave it like that.
Downtrodden, beat up.
Broken up?
I could never understand it.
Cory Booker is such a phony.
He is...
You know what he is?
He's got to be honest.
I'll just leave it at that.
Remember he had a boo?
Yeah.
Who was it?
Verona?
No, it was...
Oh gosh, I can see her face.
The actress.
Rosario Dawson.
I knew it was something...
Yeah, that was his boo.
Stop it.
Does Lindsey Graham have a boo?
No.
A boo?
Come on.
We're in 2025.
Nobody cares.
They work for us.
So let's just get the jobs done.
We don't care about the boos.
We don't care about the this, the that.
Or the boos.
Corey, we know.
You know what I'm going to say?
I'm going to play a little bit of a devil's advocate.
Please don't do that.
It's a serious program.
It's Ventilation Friday.
It is somewhat shocking to me all the time when I go out and talk about, I'll just use an example, child trafficking at our open borders.
And some people, more people are awake and aware and know, because it's been more in the news lately, certainly with the Trump administration, more talk about it.
People will say to me, I don't know about that.
I didn't hear about that.
Different issues I talk about, they'll say, trafficking happens in New York?
I didn't know that.
Yeah, Lee Zeldin.
Okay, you said it, not me.
It's Lee Zeldin, by the way.
He got voted in, or whatever you call it.
How about this one?
Confirmed for his position.
It's now 8 o 'clock.
Chris, Chris, Chris, what's his name says?
Oh yeah, Joe Carey.
Plane crashed in Philadelphia.
Yeah.
Okay, in Joe's defense, Joe may have just signed in, joined the crowd, is adding, or because we can't read, it's in all capital letters, like, shocking.
What does it mean?
There's more of a thought.
And Joe says two people crashed in Philadelphia.
Two people crashed.
I don't think news writing is your fort.
But I'm going to, again, be devil's advocate.
This is shocking for people.
We're kind of like in this 24 hours a day.
I'll say 20 hours.
We do sleep about four hours a night, maybe, if we're lucky.
We're in a constant deluge of press releases and people sending things, and a lot of people aren't.
So these things are shocking.
We just had the DC crash, and we got this crash.
It puts people on edge.
What's the next crash?
A great show on TV, which you were watching, which is great.
Is it Diddy?
Defining Diddy?
The Fall of Diddy.
Wow!
Wow!
Well, I have to continue.
People have to understand, it's not just about Diddy.
I don't think we'll ever get to the bottom of that, because being a New Yorker, for decades there has been talk on the street, so to speak, about Diddy.
And you don't cross Diddy.
You don't fight Diddy.
You disappear.
You shut your mouth.
You don't.
Or else.
That means a lot of people were complicit with that, helping him.
He didn't do this on his own.
So I keep asking, especially unless the feds have her and she's turning on him, this Christina Corum, his right-hand woman, who was right there.
Remember, there's always a woman involved.
Remember Ghislaine?
Always a woman with these guys.
Where is she now?
Why aren't we hearing from her?
And I'm still asking, which nobody answers, what about this Jennifer Lopez?
Please, we never heard from her.
We don't know about her.
I don't know.
The last picture I saw, she's shopping.
What about Ashton Kutcher?
Well, they're being very quiet, but we'll just leave that for now, kind of thing.
We're going to leave that one for now.
His ex-wife...
Demi, Demi, however she's saying her name these days, is Oscar nominated.
Not that that matters anymore, everybody.
And frankly, in my opinion, you can buy Oscars, but that's another story.
Oh, absolutely.
There's no doubt about that.
In fact, what's his name?
Even Ricky Gervais would joke about that.
So it doesn't hold, you know, that magic is gone.
Like, I loved that when I was a kid, you know, watching the Oscars as a teenager, watching that.
Remember what Bob Hope was there?
Oh, that was Johnny Carson.
I remember he did the 50th anniversary Oscars.
He was the host.
They had been after him for years and he finally gave in for the 50th.
But I don't even know what Oscars this is.
That could have been 45 years ago.
I don't remember.
Sashin Littlefeather?
Yeah, but I don't care.
It was Mexican.
I don't care.
It was only announced after her death.
But I don't care.
I used to love the award shows.
Didn't everybody love them?
And look at the dresses.
And just it seemed, you know, Hollywood.
Then we grew up and got involved in the business of show and our bubble was burst, honey.
You were looking at something the other day.
You were...
What was that?
Something fashion-oriented or...
Oh, no.
I said on Instagram to you.
I don't know why.
Maybe because I looked at one or two things and with the algorithms.
I'm getting all these feeds now of like fashion shows.
The actual...
Like fashion shows from the 1950s, the 1960s.
Actually, the clothes still hold up.
Just so nice and elegant and just nice.
That's all.
I was saying to you, I'm enjoying looking at this.
It's a nice respite for a few minutes in between everything else going on.
What was opening up again?
Was it The Frick is opening up or something recently?
I was reading their back or something.
Was it The Frick?
I don't know.
The Frick, I thought, was reopening in April.
The Frick Museum is reopening in April.
It's been under Extensive renovation, that's a museum on 5th Avenue, everybody.
You know, these museums, for instance, the Frick, up by the Metropolitan Museum, those were private homes.
Can you imagine during that Gilded Age?
The Ukrainian Embassy?
I was just going to say to you, on 79th and 5th, Ukrainian Embassy.
I just said to you the other day, that was a private home.
I say it every time we pass it.
But can you imagine that?
And these beautiful, but I'm glad because a lot of them actually got knocked down when they started building these apartment buildings.
And that was like in the late 50s and early 60s.
So at least we still have some.
The Jewish Museum on 92nd and 5th, that was a private home.
So we still do have, and I just love looking when I pass them at the architecture.
And I also always love, where do I tell you?
Because I have a certain route I walk.
Jones House.
I actually, I'm going to admit it, everybody.
On my route from west to east side, walk a certain way, Central Park South, over to 5th.
I walk on 62nd off of 5th, because 1E62 is where Joan Rivers lived, in the most beautiful kind of apartment house, but small townhouse.
There were other tenants, and she had a couple of floors.
And I walk on the other side so I can look over, because I believe it's empty.
And they leave lights on so I can just see the walls and the massive ceilings.
And I'll say to you, I'm walking past Jones for inspiration.
Not that I'm a comedian or anything.
What about Epstein's home?
Is it still there?
Anybody own that one?
Okay, you know, that place was a school years ago.
And Bill Cosby lived across the street, right?
Yes.
There were foreclosing on that, right?
Cosby, yeah.
Yes, which is so kind of shocking, isn't it?
I guess they're just letting it go.
But as far as the Epstein one, largest private residence in New York, that was a school at one time.
And that was bought at a very reduced price.
See, I don't like to even go there anymore because we never really got the answers there.
I'll just leave that one or cut closure or add anything or accountability or responsibility.
And, oh, that's the other thing.
I don't care about these lists being released.
I don't think that proves anything.
Plenty of people have jumped in a picture with you.
I don't know who they are.
It's the video.
It's the video evidence.
So that's why there's a push right now for President Trump to release the ditty list.
And I was like, that doesn't prove anything.
Plenty of people want to be in a picture with a celebrity, an influencer, a star.
Because we also had many, many people who went there.
Women, families, people.
Not just, they just, he was, for whatever reason, he was inviting these folks.
Are you talking about Epstein?
As you know, we had people like Jane Pauly, Katie Couric.
I think Stephanopoulos and others.
Because it was kind of a thing to do.
He threw dinner parties.
And he was also, he would go to Harvard and he was a benefactor.
So it wasn't what...
Again, they want to rub shoulders with, they think, the wealthy.
Who did that?
Werner Erhard.
Remember Est?
Oh, yeah.
Whatever happened.
Did it still go on?
I don't think so.
But asked the owner or the developer or the head of it, what if I like Stephen Hawking and Lenny Susskind?
Okay, but here's the difference I want to say.
So, we did not know Jeffrey Epstein, correct?
No.
Saw him a couple times, but...
Okay, we saw him around town a few times, but there was always whispers because we heard it.
People told us.
Him and girls, right?
Mm-hmm.
I didn't have any proof.
I didn't witness it myself.
So that being said, if we heard that, I heard that, wouldn't that make you a little extra cautious as somebody of note?
You know, like Katie Couric.
I'll just throw her around there.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I'm not going to go near anything like that kind of thing.
And they still went.
So that's a little different.
We heard about Charlie Rose, and we didn't even work there.
Matt Lauer?
We knew about that.
Because I didn't work there or have proof, I couldn't.
But yes, good sources told me.
So again, it goes into these decades of abuse exploitation.
The Epstein thing, though...
Chris says, we've known the name since 2018.
The names of what?
Diddy, Epstein, I don't know.
I don't know.
Hang on a minute.
There's so many these days coming out.
Can Pritzker...
Ban J-6ers from state jobs?
Oh, yes.
I wanted to ask you that.
Good, Laurie.
From his?
I mean, in Illinois?
Yes.
He's the governor.
I guess he can, right?
I mean, he can do it unless he's stopped by...
If it's subject to his discretion, he could.
Teresa Skinner, by the way, says, Watching DT dance, acting silly helps calm me during these atrocities.
At the inauguration, the airport came cutting with a sword.
They told Trump not to cut through the plane.
But to cut the runway, I had a knee-jerk reaction, but no facts.
Interesting.
Boy, that's a good one.
I'm thinking.
See, that is a good...
You know what?
Not that that means anything, but you know, that's interesting.
Of all the things...
Leave it to Therese...
Skinner, by the way.
Skinner, I'm saying.
Isn't that something?
Teresa Skinner.
I know, Teresa Skinner.
Wow.
This blows me away.
I'm really going to think about that one.
Because do you believe in coincidences?
Do you believe there are things called a coincidence?
I don't know.
I think there are some things that are kind of these Jungian serendipitous synchronicity moments, but I don't know if there's a real A real...
I disagree, but okay.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Just as I've gotten older, I think a lot of things happen for a reason.
So you don't believe in coincidence?
You believe there's a reason for that?
I'm a little bit of a mixed mind, but lately as I've gotten older, some very weird things happen.
Yes.
I'll just leave it at that.
I had the weirdest thing happen.
Should I tell you?
I don't know.
But it's not that interesting, but do you want me to tell you?
Sure.
How can I not?
Because it's weird.
No, don't tell me.
It's weird, and only because it's Ventilation Friday.
Do you want to hear this or not?
Don't look at me.
So, I woke up the other day, my usual time, around 4 a.m., and the first thing I do is go and make the coffee, right?
That's what I do.
Sit at the computer.
I walk to the coffee pot.
And all of a sudden in my head was that song, Old Susanna.
I did not hear it.
I don't sing it.
Maybe when I was a kid in school.
Oh, Susanna.
Oh, Susanna.
Old Susanna.
Oh, Susanna.
Or Old Susanna might be a different version.
By now, it's Old Susanna.
But it's Oh, Susanna.
And I had every word going through my head.
You know, don't you cry for me.
We don't talk about that song.
I'm from Alabama with a banjo on my knees.
Susanna, don't you cry for me.
It wouldn't leave my head.
You ready?
I like to binge everybody when I go to bed late at night on a complete series of something.
Right now, I've been binging on seven years of designing women.
Okay.
I heard this.
And I did not hear this in my sleep the night before.
I did not have anything to do with Oh Susanna.
Nothing.
And I'll usually watch, before I fall asleep, three or four episodes before I fall asleep.
And it wasn't the first episode that came on.
I think it was the second or third.
They were using that song.
And it's not like...
It was left over from the night before.
I think these were brand new episodes.
Do you not think that's weird?
And I'm having things like that happen to me.
I'll think about somebody.
I'm going to text them right now.
I pick up my phone and they text me first.
I think the chances of that...
You're telling me that's just coincidence?
That the randomness of that?
That's a weird one.
I think that defies randomness.
Lori Cuck says, remember Trump's first sword dance?
Hmm.
I must have missed the sword dances.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to check out the cutting the plane.
That's just very interesting.
Very, very interesting.
Look at this.
I'm binge-watching Sharp's Rifles.
I don't know what that means.
I don't know that show.
Is that a show?
I have no idea.
But anyway, I...
I binge these things, everybody, because, you know, it's kind of mindless after the work I do.
But it's not really.
It's a great show.
Well, that's what I wanted to say, because...
You're all right?
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm smacking into you there.
But I also like to go back and review the writing, the character development, because I like all of that type of thing, and working on some projects.
So I like to look at that writing.
And it's really good.
You know, I did The Desperate Housewives, so I did that with seven years as well.
This is seven years.
I'm in season four of...
What was the other one I just did?
What's the one I finished?
I forgot.
Oh, um...
No, no, you were...
No, I did...
I've done a few.
No, Designing Women...
No, Housewives?
No, I said that.
We're losing our minds.
By the way, Brad Rung says, did you hear about the Philly plane crash?
Love you.
So Brad's doing that on purpose.
Brad's making it funny, everybody.
Even though there's nothing funny about this.
What about the Trump sword dance?
I know nothing about this.
I missed the sword.
Did I miss the sword dance?
I'm going to go look for the sword dance.
I'm going to look.
Yeah.
I saw it, but I...
I didn't focus on anything.
Jem says, why are you talking about this?
I love that.
Thank you so much.
Great.
Thank you so much.
You know what, Jem?
Jem knows how to do it.
Jem, this is Ventilation Friday.
Jem knows how to.
So we are going to talk about whatever we want to talk about.
As all of you can talk about anything you want to talk about, that's called Ventilation Friday.
Jem knows how to do it.
What are we talking about?
Jem.
I like somebody who said before, don't you understand that Candace Owens said, this is great journalism.
If you think so, go ahead.
I don't care about his wife and the whole business.
It's mean.
Candace Owens is mean.
She's this mean.
She's mean about...
She does these things and she can't say straight.
She goes, straight.
Street.
Okay, that's fine.
But she's mean.
And I know you're like, well, she's very popular and terrific, but she was mean.
Put it this way.
You know what I don't like?
She actually made me, for one minute, almost feel sorry for Kemala.
Almost.
I wouldn't go that far.
She's not white.
She said she was white, but she wasn't really white.
And her grandfather, and we talked to her, and he's like, wait a minute.
I wouldn't go that far.
I just don't like it.
But there's an anger part of it.
She was talking about who was white and who was, okay, fine.
But if you, listen, I've been around, see, if you can't tell when somebody's got something a little bit, like there's an axe to grind, there's something, I can't help you with that one.
Here's what I don't like about Candice.
She's intelligent.
She has a platform.
She has a following.
Imagine if she could use that to promote what we talk about.
Empowering girls and young women.
Taking care of homeless women.
Maybe put all that into vets.
Use your platform really for good.
I can't keep hearing about her.
With Macron.
The wife, the this, the that.
She's wasting because she is smart.
She has such an opportunity to educate and she's just stuck on the same way.
And she made her, this is okay, this is her right, but she made her bed with Israel.
That's it.
You said it, not me.
That's it.
So, you know what?
I'm just telling you, you're a brave person, I guess, but...
Trump and those folks would say, uh-uh, nope, nope, nope.
Carla, by the way, Carla, the cooking CEO, says, have you binge-watched The Outlander, Mrs. L?
No.
I love those loose historical storylines.
It's on my list, but it takes me a while to get through.
It seems like everything is seven years I'm watching, and at the rate of like three to four episodes a night, I'm getting there.
Carla, it's on my list.
I'm going to get there, and I'll swing back around, as they say, to discuss it.
Matlas X says, did FDR die or was he killed?
I believe, well, I think there is something to be said over the fact that he was poisoned.
Yes.
Poisoned by the woman who was painting and Gromyko was actually sent by Stalin because Stalin, Gromyko was apparently a poison expert and years later, Elliot, but what's her name?
Eleanor said, no, don't do this.
He said, no.
And then years later, Elliot Roosevelt said, yeah, because he interviewed Stalin.
And he said, yeah, I told you.
I sent Romico because at the time they were doing this, he was like only 63. People just looked older in those days.
Yeah, but he would release it.
But his high blood pressure, they could have.
With today's medication, they could have.
There's no reason for him to stroke out.
But when he was doing this around Warm Springs, they were doing that final portrait.
You know, when they have those paints like this and they're drinking tea and you've got arsenic in paints, you can pour, you can look the other way and, I mean, you can do a lot of things.
So many, many people have thought for sure that he was years ago.
Anyway, all right, my friends.
What a night it's been.
Hazel.
Huh?
There was a Hazel comment, so I'm looking at that Hazel comment.
Oh, you have to scroll down a little bit.
On Hazel with Shirley Booth was Mr. B. Don DeFore.
You scroll down.
I have to see the rest of the comments.
Well, is it Hazel we're looking for?
What's the name of the person?
Can you just scroll up very easily?
Hang on.
What's the name of the person?
Oh, on Hazel, it's Anthony.
I'm looking for somebody named Hazel.
I'm talking about Shirley Booth.
On Hazel with Shirley Booth, was Mr. B. actually a licensed attorney?
No.
Don DeFore, I do not believe.
Remember Bobby Buntrock?
Well, he played an attorney in the show.
I don't think he was in real life, if that's the question.
Teresa Skinner says, yes, sword dance, cake cutting at the inauguration ball before the plane crash.
Yes.
I think it's a coincidence.
You know what?
I'm going to go with this.
I've got to research this a little bit.
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
Okay.
Anyway, what a night.
An hour and 22 minutes.
Oh my goodness, time flies with your crew here.
It's our crew.
Well, Therese Skinner, thank you.
Matliss X. Carla, thank you.
Brad Rung.
Lori Cuck, happy birthday.
Lori, happy birthday, Lori.
We love you.
Therese, you were so kind.
Thank you.
Chris Cox, everybody.
Let me see.
Cut Up Chatter, thank you.
Nelson Gretzky.
Wayne Gretzky?
Well, I'm adding a vowel to it.
Let me see.
Kelly McKinnon, thank you.
Suze, 007, thank you.
Sabertron Toys, I love Ventilation Fridays, thank you.
And Cutup Chatter says, I'm curious about, thank you for the table crochets.
Oh, yes.
She has 15 more in sending them.
I care about every hurting heart.
Can't hug everyone.
We give those to the survivors.
Thank you for doing that.
It means so much.
Absolutely.
All right, dear friends.
Have a great and a glorious night.
At midnight, we're going to get up and we're going to toast Lori because it's her birthday.
It's her birthday.
Thank you so much, my friends.
Have a great and a glorious night.
See you tomorrow.
And until then, my friends.
Give me a kiss, you!
And until then, my friends, as we always say, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue you.
