Super Bowl Sunday and here we are.
You know why?
Because we're crazy.
There's something crazy about us.
We don't fit in and I love it.
I love the fact that we don't fit in.
I love the fact that the whole world is watching this.
And I don't know how long we're going to go tonight.
I want to catch the Elon Musk commercials, and that's about it.
Oh, and the Kendrick Lamar?
Oh, you know what that story is, don't you?
Can't say it here, but ooh.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
So anyway, what's going on?
Why aren't you watching the game?
Because you're here with us.
And listen, I know.
Maybe we'll do a shorter version tonight.
I'm just so damn happy.
A couple things.
Tom Brady is cretinous.
He's one of the most stupid.
Even a sport that he's an expert in, he sounds cretinous.
He sounds like a cretin.
He does.
I'm sorry.
Maybe that's not me.
Maybe that's not nice.
He doesn't sound like you know what he's talking about.
They had this, the announcer, I know.
Why do they say this?
John Hammond is...
It's so stupid.
It's interesting to watch as an observer of human behavior.
It's interesting to watch as a kind of a bread and circuses type of dude.
But I gotta tell you, I'm, you know...
I never got it.
The only time we had in New York, we had in our local Irish bar, we had a pool.
And it was like 500 bucks a box.
So you could pick up some change.
And that was the only thing.
That was the only time.
If you want to put some money on something, that's about it.
I'm not even a gambler.
I don't even know.
You know, I got this thing called...
Not FanDuel, but Jack, Kings, Joker, Poker, whatever this thing is.
And I'm looking at it, and I put 50 bucks in.
What's the matter with me?
What's the matter with me?
I don't care about this stuff.
I mean, I'm interested in seeing the reaction.
It's great to see President Trump there.
Oh, my God.
I don't know.
Do you think you're going to play the Black National Anthem?
I don't know.
Is that over with?
I don't know about that.
Whatever the hell that is.
They had John Baptiste or whatever the hell his name is.
I don't know who these people are.
It's stupid.
I thought the whole thing was stupid.
They had the woman Hallis.
She must have been like 103.
George Hallis' daughter is now a moment of silence.
Okay.
It was like the fastest moment of silence.
I don't know who this lady is, but give her something.
And the questions.
Let me ask you a question.
I'm going to ask the most politically incorrect, the worst question.
You shouldn't be able to ask this question, but I'm going to ask this question and there's nothing you can do to stop me, okay?
Nothing you can do to stop me.
You ready for this?
Okay, here's the question.
Do you find it offensive or stupid to hear women announcers or people, women as commentators or You know, play-by-play or whatever it is for football.
Do you?
Do you?
Anyway?
A woman's sports, yeah, fine, but do you, is there anything about this, do you admit, do you find it to be silly or stupid?
I'm just asking.
I have a problem with it.
I don't know why.
First, all of these people, no matter how cretinous they are, Jimmy Johnson, Strahan.
These people played the game.
Who's Tootsie over here playing with her high heels?
So are you excited that you could be the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to win three in a row?
Or three total?
What?
Why is she there?
It's in that transgender stuff.
It's that stupid transgender.
I don't get it.
I'm not a...
It's stupid.
It'd be like if a straight man were doing, you know, on the red carpet.
You need a gay fashion person for that.
Or if some man was doing WNBA.
It's weird.
I'm sorry.
Or women's gymnastics?
There's something about maybe it's me.
Maybe I'm just demented.
Maybe I'm a dinosaur.
I don't think so.
Because it looks like, okay, what do you know about this?
What do you know about this?
There's always something great about some woman who used to be, she's a basketball coach, uh-huh, wears this very simple suit, uh-huh, pants, uh-huh, she knows.
What am I trying to say if she's a lesbian?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Pilgrim's going to weigh in.
Pilgrim's got something to say.
The third wave feminists and traps love you.
The third wave, W-A-I-V-E, like waiver?
W-A-V-E.
The third wave feminists and traps love you.
The traps.
Again, always, always.
Always with you sometimes.
Maybe it's me.
Maybe it's me.
I thank you, Pilgrim.
I don't understand what that means.
Call me wacky.
So anyway.
Are you tired of winning yet?
You have no idea what's going on, do you?
I don't think you do.
I think I did it today.
I think I was pretty good to try to explain it today.
But I think that, you know what?
I don't.
I don't think.
I really don't think I got the point across today.
And it's my fault.
And I blame myself for it.
I blame myself for it because it's so unbelievable that I don't think you're ready for it.
And I don't think you're able to handle it.
Okay?
That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
I think we're going to do kind of a...
Maybe it's me.
I think we're going to do a...
Maybe the abbreviated show.
I kind of watch this.
I think a lot of us want to do this.
I'm just saying.
I want to at least say hello to you.
I'm not feeling the power.
Maybe it's me.
Maybe it's me.
I take full credit.
I don't know what it is.
I'm in a weird kind of thing.
What is it?
I feel like there's this thing going on in the world and we're going to talk about what?
The deep state again?
Maybe not.
Maybe tomorrow we'll get back to it.
I don't know.
Does the Super Bowl mean something to you?
Not you personally, but in terms of the fact that Everybody in the country right now is watching this.
Everybody.
It is the most probably at this moment you know that everybody is watching this.
I saw some of the commercials.
So stupid.
So stupid.
Remember when they used to be really great?
Remember when they were great?
Oh my God.
The Apple commercial.
Never forget.
It's like, what was this?
We didn't even know what it was.
I guess it was a good question.
I don't know.
We didn't know what it was.
It was fantastic.
I know.
It's stupid.
What the hell is her name?
Martha Stewart?
Tom Cruise with the eyes?
His eyes.
The eyes, it's like you lost the soul of your eyes.
You had the work done.
You've got to hand it to him, though he's still doing his thing.
You know what?
Maybe it's me.
I'm just unable to be impressed.
I'm just unable to be impressed.
I think I go through life just not being impressed.
It's who I am.
And that's wrong.
I should let loose.
I should be impressed more.
I should care about this.
But I can't.
Maybe you're the same way.
Whenever I'm supposed to like something, I don't.
Whenever you tell me, oh, this is the best group, I don't like them.
What?
Yeah, this is, oh, you're playing pickleball?
I don't want to play pickleball.
Why?
Everybody's playing it.
I don't want to play it.
Stupid.
Whatever somebody's doing, whenever somebody, now, President Trump, okay, I'll go along with that.
But even, I feel, maybe you're the same way, I feel better when I'm in the minority.
Or when I'm doing something that's arcane.
Recondite.
That I prefer.
But when I'm doing something that everybody's doing, I don't know.
And then sometimes I'll say, you know what, I'm going to do something, but I'm going to find something interesting.
For example, Mrs. Ellen, I saw the movie Barbie.
Barbie was fantastic.
It was a great movie.
Ah!
See, that was different.
I went there, but for a different reason.
See?
That's okay sometimes.
I like sometimes having a weird...
I remember in the old days...
My friends and I, we all love soap operas.
Nobody else did.
I mean, women, but nobody really...
I just thought it was kind of, dare I say, kitschy.
And then that got to be born.
I like music that nobody liked.
I want to hear stuff.
I like to hear things that are different.
I am not going to go to some concert where everybody's going.
Pilgrim says, we want the Redskins back unapologetically.
Sonny Jurgensen, Doug Williams from the Redskins, and why are the Chiefs okay?
I don't want to get into this.
I always wanted to know, why can't we have, why couldn't we have a group called the Dallas Jews?
No, you know, Hebraic style, no, you know, yarmulkes or kippahs or tzitzes or none of that stuff.
But why?
Why would that be a problem?
You can't do that.
What's wrong with the Jews?
You can't do that.
Fighting Irish, the Sooners, whatever the hell it is, the commanders.
Oh, for the love of God.
The Redskins have to be still, I think, if ever there was a name that was truly, honestly, really not racist, but inappropriate, it would be that.
No doubt about it.
Redskins?
Redskins?
Yellow?
I don't know.
But it made it.
You see, here's the thing.
Why do some things get by and some things don't?
I don't understand this.
Why?
I don't get it.
Robert Downey Jr. was a genius in Tropic Thunder.
Why didn't he catch grief?
Because it was blackface.
Because he's a chosen.
One of the chosen.
One of the chosen few.
I don't understand that.
Why is this okay?
And moreover, here is the best part.
Alrighty?
I'm going to ask you something.
Let's assume somebody wants to have a movie called the...
a team called the...
I mean, let's make it easy.
Let's don't go for like a pejorative, but the Brooklyn...
I think Redskins is a pejorative.
They couldn't say like the Dagos or something, but the Brooklyn Napolitano or something.
Why?
Now I'm going to go a step further.
Let me go a step further.
If I wanted to put that out, the Brooklyn Dagos, okay, I would say, you know, you might not want to do that, but what if they loved it?
Remember how they had the bums?
Remember the bums?
The Brooklyn Dodgers were the bums.
Remember that?
Remember that?
The bums.
And then they had, who was it?
The Cubs had some name.
And they kind of loved the fact that they were lovable lugs.
And if somebody wanted to say, okay, go ahead and do it.
And what if it caught on?
My point is, so what?
I want to live in a world where I'm saying, it's up to you.
Have you ever been offended by anything in your life?
Ever?
Have you ever been offended?
There's a team called the...
There was a team in Moorestown, New Jersey.
M-O-R.
Not Morristown.
That's different.
M-O-R-E-S.
And they're like the fighting Quakers.
I think that is the funniest.
I swear to God.
Look at it.
And nobody gets it.
I think that's funny.
If that's the name you want.
The fighting Amish.
You know?
With the hats.
And they do this little dance.
What's wrong with that?
Tell me.
What's wrong with that?
If I say, I want to have a team, and I want to have them come out at halftime, and do an Amish, little buggies, and they go around, you know, they got to do a, kind of like a, you know, one of those Busby Berkeley kind of things where they do, what's wrong?
So what?
The Detroit brothers, you know, froze, and why not?
Why?
Tell me why I can't do this!
Johnny Mazda Spaz says, the Alka-Seltzer commercial, I can't believe the whole thing was great.
Funny you say that.
Funny you say that, Johnny, because most people do not know that that was voted one of the worst commercials because nobody knew what it was about.
They thought it was tomato sauce.
They didn't know!
The Alka-Seltzer thing came at the last minute.
Remember this?
Ring around the collar.
Ring around the collar.
This is one of the worst commercials because you didn't know what it was.
It was whisk.
But nobody knew.
They got into these commercials.
I think it's something.
I don't know.
I don't understand advertising.
When are you going to go out and buy something because Ben Affleck and his brother are doing a Dunkin' Donuts commercial?
Am I supposed to...
They have one for Starbucks.
You get up in the morning, grind the beans.
Oh, shut up with that.
What?
You know what commercial I liked where I thought to myself, you know what?
I liked one.
It was a very simple thing.
It was...
It was for Motel 6. Remember Tom Baudet?
We'll leave the light on.
We don't put a chocolate on your pillow.
We just have a clean room and that's it.
Motel.
We leave the light on.
That was it!
I loved it!
I'm trying to get one for you.
If I can find this...
If I could get this one commercial for you.
I just thought about it now.
You need to see this.
It's called Tires Ain't Pretty.
It was Stanley Hand.
Allied Discount Tires.
One of the best.
Ones.
Ever.
Tires ain't pretty.
Probably not going to find that.
By the way, what do you think about the...
Do you like the Tesla truck?
Seriously.
Do you?
And God bless Eli.
I mean, Elon.
Who wants to buy an electric truck?
Or a car?
Excuse me, a car.
Who?
Who?
After everything they're saying, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
We're trying to find it.
They don't have it.
God.
You know, maybe I'll do it tomorrow.
I thought for sure this was the best commercial ever.
I'll tell you the story.
It's better if I show it to you as opposed to me just describing it to you.
It was one of the best ones ever.
This guy named Stanley Hayden had this thing called Allied Discount Tires.
And it was a commercial.
And they showed tires.
You know, they sold them.
Whatever.
So his friend, Sam Bear, B-E-H-R, who had nothing to do with Stanley Hayden's whatever, I'll play it tomorrow for you because it'll be too long for me to clip it and all that.
Just hear what I'm saying.
Pretend, just let me amuse you with this, right?
Just let me amuse you.
Just pretend.
Humor me.
Humor me.
Just say, okay, tell your damn story.
So Hayden did this commercial.
And he said, come on, Sam, come with me.
Sam owned a shoe store or something.
And they were watching this, and Sam liked it.
I mean, they weren't drunks or anything, but they were, I think they had a few martinis before this thing.
And they're watching this stuff, and Sam's with them, and they're going to the advertising office or playing the commercials or whatever the hell they were.
So Stanley says, well, Sam, what do you think?
Sam said, well, I don't think that's good.
He goes, I'm no expert in this.
He says, well, what's the point of this?
And he says, well, can you do it better?
He said, well, yeah!
And he had a martini.
He put it down.
He says, put the camera on me.
And he gets up there and he says, when was the last time somebody drove up to your car and said, hey, those are real nice tires?
He goes, nobody cares about tires.
Tires ain't pretty.
You just want good tires.
You want to be safe, independent, and cheap, and that's it.
And that's what you get at Allied Discount Tires.
And that's the way he ended it.
That was it.
Then he said, screw you.
He fired the company.
Sam, you're the guy.
Do whatever you want.
Sell them.
They went out of control.
Ties ain't pretty.
What do you care?
Be honest.
Who cares?
So they're going through all this stuff and spending all this money.
I want to see the Elon.
Elon is changing everything.
Elon is talking about Doge.
If we miss it, we'll see it later.
The Democrats are thinking, oh shit!
It's so over!
I'm going to read something to you, if you don't mind.
Elon, I love that guy.
Elon cited this.
It was very interesting.
And he cited one of the Winklevoss twins.
You know who they are?
The Winklevoss.
And Elon does some good stuff.
Notice how Bannon's shutting up?
Notice how somebody told Bannon, shut up.
Leave Elon alone.
Just shut up.
Anyway.
Tyler Winklevoss writes, The calculus for joining government is radically changing.
The promise of gaining control of enormous dark money government slush funds.
And routing them to your friends who stand up totally vague and nebulous GEOs that then launder the money back to you and your other friends is disappearing before our very eyes.
People who go into public service shall actually have to be motivated by public service, not by kleptocratic self-enrichment schemes.
If they want to get rich, they will have to write a book or produce some show or documentary for Netflix that no one watches.
It's true!
It's true!
What is it when you tell somebody, when somebody says, what do you want to do?
I want to go, I want to be a cop.
You know you're not going to make a lot of money, but you can work hard, you get a pension or whatever it is, but nobody, and people say, I know that!
You go in there knowing, I'm not going to make a lot of money.
It's one of those things, but I really want to do this.
I really want to do it.
Politics should be like that.
You shouldn't go in there saying, I'm going to make money.
J.B. Raskin, they're going to find out, where's that money?
Come on, USAID, where's it going?
And we've got to figure out sometimes about offshore accounts and where this...
We've got to stop this.
You do understand this all changed.
February the 2nd when they put the freeze on USAID.
That's it.
You do realize this.
Do you understand this?
Do you got what I'm saying?
Did you hear the show this morning?
Did you hear the show this morning?
USAID.
They call it aid.
Because of the word aid.
People believe aid has nothing to do with aid.
Will you get it straight?
It has nothing to do with aid.
Anybody?
Nobody.
Aiding and abetting, nothing aid.
Forget the aid.
I remember reading this stuff and they just printed the money.
So they said, let's do something important.
In 2017 2017, 2018 Moby, you know the singer Moby?
He said the CIA came to him and said, we want your social media accounts.
We just want them.
And we'll do whatever it is.
Now he never talked about his compensation.
But they've been doing this forever.
Rob Reiner.
Go down the list.
Bette Midler.
Who are the other ones?
Rosie O'Donnell.
Joy Behar.
Who are the other ones?
I'll bet you anything.
Folks who are...
Stephen King.
They pay for everything.
Everything.
Everything.
The deep state...
Police state, intel state, shadow government, pays everything.
So what they did was, they went and they most probably got a hold of Rob Reiner who said, I'm losing my mind.
He's not making any money.
Even Princess Bride or whatever the hell it is, or A Few Good Men, how long does this last?
How about the residuals?
This isn't going with the wind.
They've got to figure out.
Remember all those people who sat?
Before the DNC, remember those people?
Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle.
They were all paid.
Oprah got $2 million to show up.
Beyonce got $2 million.
They're throwing this.
And whatever the DNC doesn't get comes from USAID.
And USAID is the paymaster.
It goes through them.
It's like it's the paymaster.
The way the mob uses a no-show job at a construction site.
It's obvious.
So don't be surprised if they claw back and say, look what you did.
Look where your tax money went.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why these people are so fiendishly for that.
Up to and including the Lincoln Project, just, you're going to flip out.
And so what did they do?
What did they do?
A federal judge says, you can't have that information because you're going to have social security numbers or whatever.
Are you kidding me?
They're so scared.
They don't even care how blatant this looks.
Look up.
Do yourself a favor.
Just Google USAID.
Look what the stories are.
It's nonsense.
It's crazy.
It's whatever.
Politico got how many millions and fakes?
I mean, listen to what I'm saying.
This is just, it's come to a head.
They're freaking out.
Federal judge, that's not going to last.
What do we do?
I don't know.
Gay Mala went to a game the other day.
Nobody said anything.
And she, they say, is lined up to run in 2028.
I think it's going to be Gavin Newsom, but like I always said.
This is...
They can't ever win.
They have to win, lose two elections and then that's midterms.
I mean, you have to take a drubbing to hurt them.
They're thinking, this was just like a one-off thing.
Don't worry, it was his time.
Don't worry, next time, things will be different.
No, no, they have to be crushed again and again and again.
This is unbelievable.
And when Trump is saying, I'm going to go after CBS, I want 60 Minutes off, fire them.
I want them gone.
I want them through.
I want you to do to them what they did to Tucker Carlson.
And you know Trump told...
Uber Murnack.
Why'd you do that?
It was the lawsuit.
I had to do it.
Watch what happens now.
Just, just, just, just watch what happens.
Remember CBS, Sherry Redstone, they're trying to get rid of it.
They're unloaded.
They've got a $10 billion.
You know what?
Forget $10 billion.
Make it $20 billion.
And they're going to settle it now.
I mean, they're just destroying this.
They're destroying everything.
Rudy has got to be rehabilitated.
Alex Jones never looked better.
Never been at the top of his game.
Thanks to Elon.
Oh, look, look, look.
I just want to say right now.
We'll end a little earlier because I know people are...
We'll pick it up again tomorrow.
Let me just tell you something.
We are so...
I hate to keep saying we're back.
We never were this powerful.
Never.
Never.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Am I making myself clear?
We were never this powerful.
It was never this good.
It was never this great.
Never.
2016 was nothing.
2016 was nothing compared to what we're seeing now.
Nothing.
It's nothing.
What we did was nothing.
My God!
Just...
You are not going to believe.
So we're going to be paying attention very, very closely.
I'm going to be going through this with you.
I want to thank you.
And all of our great, great friends and all of our, all of our, oh my God, the snow is thawing and all of a sudden this big, you'll just hear this crash of a big slab of snow.
In any event, my friends, be very happy.
I am.
And to our dear friends, to Victor Gaylor, by the way, who's a new member, Pilgrim Media, And Johnny Mazza's spaz, and when did brand management go on?
That's a great question.
And Lori Cuck.
Did you see VP JD responses to Big Balls?
Absolutely.
And his wife!
It wasn't Big Balls.
I think it was the Indian dude, or Elas, or whatever his name was, or the individual, I think.
That's what they said.
It's like, so what?
Edie Crowley says, all our love, Mr. L. Edie, we love you, doll.
We love yous.
So anyway, we're winning!
So in the meantime, my friends, I'm going to try to catch some Elon stuff.
I'm going to be tweeting like a mother at Lionel Media, because that's kind of like where I think the world is right now, so let's see what's going on.
Now let me thank you for this.
You folks have a great and a glorious day.
Don't forget to follow Mrs. L at Lin's Warriors and me at Linel Legal and Linel Nation.
And until tomorrow, my friends, have a great and a wonderful evening.
I would very much like to see the Eagles win or the El Exiles, whatever it is, because anything even remotely associated to Taylor Swift, I want to be destroyed.
And I do not want to three in a row.
I'm sorry.
Philly is...
Philly is a great city.
I've never been to Kansas City.
Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansas City, Kansas.
Which one?
That's so stupid.
I don't know which one.
In fact, we have East New York is in Brooklyn, and West New York is in Jersey.
I don't know.
Very strange.
But...
Philadelphia is our nation's capital.
It's our nation's capital.
Not D.C. That's where it happens.
That's where Tench Cox is buried.
That's it.
And it needs your love and respect.
So anyway, have a great day, my friends.
See you tomorrow.
Thank you so much.
And until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue you.
