My friends, I don't even know where to begin to start with this.
I don't...
I don't even know where to start.
I wish I could have...
And I don't even do this on my private channel.
I wish I could spend and say, do you know what I'm hearing?
And if you hear what I'm hearing, you would say, that makes complete and total sense.
Name it.
The Diddy case, the Hollywood case.
It's unbelievable.
And what I'm seeing, more than anything else, what I'm seeing is that Nobody, how do I say this?
They're not interested in really going beyond this.
And whatever I talk about, people will invariably say, I don't care about it.
Sparky says, what happened to Epstein?
He killed himself because he felt guilty from acting alone.
Indeed.
Do you realize this, Sparky, that what they've done is that they actually did this in front of everyone?
Thank you.
They did this in front of everyone.
I can't tell you this enough.
This, to me, is the story of stories of stories.
They did this in front of everyone.
And they don't care.
This is...
Pamela Jobani, bless her heart, I think she really, really, really means well.
I really think, honest to God, I don't think she has any idea at all of trying to be, you know, I don't know what the word is, problematic.
But she just, she has no clue as to what happened.
None.
He did this right.
In front of us.
So, here's the thing I want to bring to your attention, dear friends.
And this is very, very important.
And I want you to listen very carefully because I know you mean well and I know people have this idea that there's this blackmail thing.
Hey, Bill Gates, I've got this picture of you and I'm going to make you Do something, I guess.
Do something on our behalf because of this picture I've got.
Ha ha ha!
You think this is going to work?
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Now, this is what I want you to understand.
In recent years, dear friends, there has been this profound, dare I say, shift.
That has emerged within the mechanisms of control and coercion, because that's what we're theoretically talking about.
Sparky says, like we're saying this out in front of dog and everybody, I like that.
I thought you were going to say that dog don't hunt, but yes, indeed there was a wonderful canine subtext there.
But Sparky, and remember, this is about control and coercion, that's the whole notion of extortion and the like.
And when it is employed by powerful entities and the like, it's a different world today.
Traditionally, you know, the stuff they were using for sexual blackmail have been, you know, utilized to manipulate, you know, individuals in positions of influence, you know, do this, vote for this bill, or agree to this, or fund this, or whatever.
But with the advent of the digital age we have right now, That's old.
There is a more insidious and pervasive method today.
It's the exploitation, it's the distortion, the destruction of personal data and information.
That's what we're going to do.
You're not going to see another Epstein.
You know, a lot of Epstein, believe it or not, was because he was the king of kink.
In addition to that, believe me when I tell you that it's not just because of, you know.
It's a different story.
But this kind of evolution or this development represents a significant kind of a transformation in the landscape of manipulation and coercion.
Because data are the currency of power.
Remember when I said information will be the currency of the 21st century, but data What do you think?
Everything that you do.
They want to know data.
Metadata.
Actual data.
They want to know where you go, what you're doing, what you think, what you watch, what you click.
They want to work with you.
They want to create digital dopamine.
This is exactly what they want to do.
This is something so important, my friends.
So critical.
So without peer.
This is like nothing we've ever seen.
And when I tell people, they look at me like, huh?
Which is the usual look I get.
Huh?
You can see the drool form.
Huh?
This idea, this honeypot and all this, yeah, that was important.
And it's, by the way, it's still done now regarding, you know, lower level stuff, you know.
They had, in fact, years ago in Tampa, there was a case where there was this very, very popular Well, there was a case where they set up a DUI bust.
That's not really extortion.
It's more of a setup.
But this idea of the Epstein, you're not going to see that again, because now we have the evolution from traditional blackmail now to data exploitation and data manipulation.
Data is who you are.
These people like Epstein, these people have absolutely epitomized the use of sexual blackmail to theoretically ensnare.
By the way, Sparky, as far as we know, as far as we know, we don't know anybody who has been compromised, that's one of the problems with it, with anything that...
What's his name has been involved in it?
We know of no case where somebody's been actually compromised.
None.
We know cases of women, but we don't know any black male that's ever taken place.
Do you understand that?
Do you understand that?
You got it?
Good.
Epstein's operations in this, this is important, involve Compromising situations.
We believe that we're designed to gather incriminating information and material which could theoretically be used as some form of leverage to influence decisions and actions and that kind of thing.
That's what we thought.
Do we know what ever being true?
Sparky, dear Sparky, oh Sparky says, dog in a dog in Oh, good, of course.
Spelling dog front word isn't allowed in Super Chats on your channel.
I think someone else pointed it out.
Dog front word.
Hmm, that is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard in my life.
Thank you.
I have no, no idea why dog or good or any combinations thereof make any sense.
Now, my friends, the idea As we know, is that theoretically this information was, you know, leveraged.
Was it?
I don't know.
Were these views at the highest level?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Now, the method that we're talking about is relying on, is direct personal misconduct and the threat of exposure to ensure compliance and to ensure, you know, okay, fine.
That's the old-fashioned way.
That's the way it was done.
That was okay.
That was good.
But in contrast, the modern way to do it is completely different.
This is a paradigm shift, a change of everything towards the use of personal data to extract coercion.
The vast amounts of information that you generate online.
From social media activity to financial transactions, you name it, are meticulously, absolutely collected, stored, analyzed, reviewed, evaluated at levels you can't believe.
This data provide a super-duper comprehensive profile of every individual's behavior, preferences, vulnerabilities, sensibilities.
Idiosyncrasies, offering a new collective means, a tapestry of manipulation without the need for traditional blackmail.
Are you with me on this one?
This is what nobody...
Let me explain this.
The mechanics, so to speak.
And people have been talking about this for a long time.
It's not just me.
Data-driven manipulation, call it whatever you want.
The process of using your data, your metadata, this database, data-driven manipulation and all this kind of jazz, involves itself in a number of steps.
And people have talked about this for a long time.
It's not just...
Me, but it's true.
But we're too busy looking at Epstein.
First of all, let's talk about the whole collection.
Every digital interaction that you're involved in contributes in some way to this extensive, kind of like this repository, this volume of personal information that nobody could have imagined.
Social media platforms, online purchases, Search engine queries.
Even smart device usage.
Also, where you go.
GPS.
Do you have a Waze?
Do you have Google Maps?
Where you go?
How fast do you drive?
Where you go?
The time you drive?
He stops a lot of bars.
It's interesting.
He goes here, here, here, and there.
Ask Nathan Wade about it.
How digital, your digital footprint, you have, you are a beeping, just a, not only is your ability to be tracked 24-7 always in view, but everything you do and buy and think, all of this data, all of this collectively, when aggregated and collated and reviewed and analyzed, reveals details about your life you've never even thought of.
John Kiriakou and I were discussing this.
Then, we can profile and apply analyses.
There are advanced algorithms.
Artificial intelligence, which by the way, even at its initial blows my mind.
Oh my God.
They can analyze collected data to create profiles and...
This is profiling like you can't believe.
And these profiles can then predict behaviors, preferences, potential decision-making patterns, mapping out collectively your psyche, your psychiatric background.
Sparky says...
It's a good thing they never think of trying such manipulation on President Trump.
Absolutely!
We're glad about that, my friend.
Oh, yes siree.
We are glad about that.
Now, I hope you're following this.
Then we get this information, and I know when I tell people that, okay, They can find anything they want on me.
I don't care.
Okay.
I don't care what you're doing about me.
I'm not saying you're doing that, but how many times have you heard that I don't care?
I don't care.
Alright.
What do I care?
Okay, I got the point.
You don't care.
What do I care?
Nobody cares.
Now we're talking about targeted influence of people.
Now with all these profiles and all this comprehensive data that's been collected, entities and groups of people.
Can now deploy highly personalized content designed to influence opinions and behaviors and decisions and stuff.
I mean, the Epstein, the supposed Epstein, remember, we haven't gotten, Epstein was never charged with extortion, never charged with blackmail, never.
We're assuming, we're assuming that's what it is.
But he wasn't in charge of anything.
Nothing.
Nothing.
You hear what I'm saying?
Nothing.
So, you know, we can...
We're just assuming this.
But if you take this, you can manifest this as...
If I can tailor news feeds, customize advertisements, strategically place information...
Aimed at steering you towards desired outcomes.
That's what I want.
Remember, what do I want to do?
I want to control your behavior.
What's the best way for me to control your behavior?
When you don't know I'm controlling it.
When you don't think that I'm...
When you don't feel like I'm standing there with a gun over you and I've got some information.
Or I'm going to show your wife something.
That's the worst way.
It's like torture.
It's sloppy.
The key is coercion and control.
See, beyond this influence that nobody really gets because it's so subtle, the possession, if I have detailed personal data on you, opens up avenues for direct coercion you've never seen.
If I know secrets, indiscretions, but more importantly, vulnerabilities, All of this can be kind of leveraged, you know, to ensure, to guarantee compliance or silence.
Remember this.
Making it a form of modern blackmail.
People still don't get it.
They don't understand this notion.
It doesn't grab them.
I mean, if you look at this, if you look at the, well, let's look at case studies, okay?
Perhaps not.
Remember Cambridge Analytica?
Who remembers that?
Sparky does.
Sparky says, it's good they don't realize President Trump's primary source is Fox News, otherwise they might customize the news specifically to manipulate President Trump.
Well, do you think his primary source of news is Fox News?
Do you think he gets his news from Fox News, or he uses Fox News As the platform to speak directly with most of his people.
What do you think?
You tell me, my friend.
You tell me.
Susie Wise, did you see her, by the way?
First of all, Lara Trump, Lara Lara, was terrific.
And Susie Wise, fantastic.
Please watch that on Fox News.
Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent.
Well, let's go back and you'll enjoy this little bit of memory lane, shall we, ladies and gentlemen?
Cambridge Analytica.
Remember that one?
Remember that name?
Oh, yeah!
Vault 7?
I remember these names.
This is a case that exposed how personal data...
That was harvested and pulled from millions of Facebook users.
How it was used, without consent, without consent, mind you, to influence political outcomes.
What they did was, by using and analyzing and utilizing user data, Cambridge Analytica created psychographic profiles and delivered tailored Constructed, bespoke, so to speak, political advertisements to manipulate voter behavior.
Who wants to go necessarily for one person?
I want to go for citizens.
Sparky says he gets his news from Fox News.
For many old boomers, it's the path of least resistance.
Sparky, he is the President of the United States, and I got news for you.
Do you know what news you get in PDBs, presidential daily briefings, presidential decision directives, PDBs, there's all these names for this.
Do you know what he gets?
Do you know what he gets?
I remember a friend of mine who would brief, this was during Vietnam, who would brief the White House.
On what they learned.
I mean, this is...
Now, he doesn't go to...
Excuse me.
Grinnell, I'll talk to you there.
Tulsi, I appreciate you being the head of DNI.
I want to watch Bret Baier.
Because I'm going to get my news from Bret Baier.
My news?
We give the news to Bret Baier.
No, Sparky.
We give the news.
And you're going to write this about Israel.
Yes, we are.
Okay.
And you're going to write this about Iran.
Yes.
How about the president?
Pissed off.
He's pissed off at Putin.
Pissed off.
Why?
Because Putin is stalling.
Stalling about what?
About the peace deal.
What does he want a peace deal for?
Why don't you just tell Zelensky, give up.
Leave.
Stop this.
He's winning.
Get out of you.
Get out.
Do what he says.
Remember the five old blasts at this particular point?
This is the most stupid thing I've ever heard in my life.
What are you talking about?
What do you think Putin's going to do what?
He's going to what?
He's going to listen to what?
I'm sorry, I don't understand what he's going to do.
He's going to do what?
Why does he have to listen to anybody?
He's winning!
And they say, Iran?
No, no, no.
You think that he gets his news from Fox News?
He gives the news to Fox News.
He gets his news from, let's face it, you know who they are, don't you?
But he just sits there and says, I don't understand this thing that's going on in Syria.
I wonder what Greg Gutbucket, I wonder what Typhoid, or whatever his name is, thinks.
I wonder what Harris Faulkner thinks.
Or that...
No!
Sean Hannity is the guy that I go to.
No!
No!
With all due respect to these people, Sean Hannity and others, he doesn't get this news from them.
Not in the least.
He tells them the news.
He gives them the news.
He wants them to understand the news.
You see how that works?
You see how that works?
It's fascinating.
Totally and absolutely fascinating.
That's all I will say to you.
In any event, dear friends, Cambridge Analytica, I'm going to go back to that.
Because you're missing this.
I'm telling you, you're looking at the wrong stuff.
You're looking at Epstein.
Epstein, that's, no.
That's boring.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Nothing's going to happen with Epstein.
Nothing.
There's not going to be any files.
There's not going to be any pictures.
I've given up on that.
That's just...
And why?
I don't know why.
You want to guess?
You want to guess?
We can guess.
Remember Sparky?
Remember Signal?
Remember the Signal deal with the...
What's his name?
Who cares?
I told you that he should make a crack to Big Rocks and to the Little Rocks.
Okay.
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Ain't gonna happen.
Nobody cares.
Nobody understood that.
You don't understand.
He's the most...
Oh, everybody, even Andy McCarthy, he's the most ridiculous, he's the most stupid thing I've ever heard.
He's the most stupid.
He's so stupid.
Okay.
Are you done?
Yeah.
We don't care about this.
We're moving on.
And sure enough, nobody cares about that.
It doesn't make any difference.
Americans don't give a shit about that.
That's not their thing.
Now, as I was saying, Because I want to get this out to you.
I want you to understand this.
This Cambridge Analytica.
Most people forgot this.
I can deliver to you tailored, specific advertisements.
And you've seen it on your phone.
I can lure you into so many different ways.
Remember, I don't want to bludgeon you and trunch on you with a picture of you wearing a...
You know, standing in some stag film with black socks.
Sparky says, it's like the Hogan's Heroes episode where they fooled Colonel Klink the war was over by using false newspapers broadcast.
President Trump's beginning to catch on.
Listen, there are some things, and let me explain something to you, Sparky, that you and I are suggesting.
I think the president is completely and totally and absolutely a different person.
Than he ever thought he was.
And I think we are seeing him behaving and acting in ways that we never even thought was possible.
I think he's a different person.
You're also going to see, at some particular points, you're going to see the president slow down.
He's 78. Pretty soon 79. I mean, he's just a different person.
It's a different style.
The people who are still there, who work for Tulsi and others, the White Hats, the Spooks, they're still there.
And I'm telling you, what Cambridge Analytica taught us is more important than any picture of some Microsoft executive.
You know, with a duck.
Now, I can't explain this any other way, but I think I will.
If I can understand and create psychographic profiles of each person, each person, I can do more by giving him exactly what I want.
I can create a worldview, a hologram, just for him.
Psychographic, psychotronic, Profiles.
Things that you never even thought about.
To make you think, wow.
I might be able to send to you information that says how great you are.
Or that changes, that makes you think like, look at me there.
And by the way, using AI, I can give you story after story to your phone or your device only you get.
Did you ever notice how, let me ask you something, anybody have a, like if I look at Mrs. L's X account, it's different than mine.
When I go and look at her news or trending, it's different.
It's a different world.
If I looked at, I don't really look at other stuff, but it's her world, her Facebook, if you look at that, it's different than mine.
It's not like you watch Fox News, you get everything.
I may be living in a world that only I see.
What if I want everybody, specifically in the DNC, to get news about how they're dying, not physically dying, but how their party is dying?
What if I'm able to use data-driven manipulation, data-driven influence, directly to People of power, people that I want to know on a massive scale.
Forget some two, but who cares about Epstein and one person?
I can control thousands of people, voters.
Social credit systems are going to be coming here.
You know that, right?
I'm telling you, they're here in certain regions and in government.
They've implemented, and it's happening, social credit scores, credit systems that monitor your behavior online, offline.
You might have a hard time getting health insurance because the people that you talk to online are of a particular ilk.
Individuals are, as you know, scored based on their actions.
With rewards for, you know, compliant behavior, punishments for activities that you're doing that, well, we don't care about.
We don't care about this.
Hey, Sparky, all those people, those folks who are ripping up their Columbia University diplomas, all of those UNRWA processors, all of those Palestinian protesters, oh!
See, it doesn't work.
It works any way you want.
All those people.
Same thing they did with J6.
I know where you were.
I know what you did.
I know what you said.
I know everything about you.
Ain't that something?
And one day, I just might throw that into a pool, and I'm going to make this very, very unpopular.
So instead of me going on and changing the way people think, I may have them say, I'm staying away from this crazy pro-Palestinian nonsense because it'll destroy my future.
It'll destroy my work possibilities and the like.
Do you think I'm kidding?
People are thinking it's so stupid with this Epstein.
That's nothing.
It's nothing.
We're talking to somebody who says, well, you know the truth about Ghislaine.
Ghislaine is nothing.
Who cares?
What do you want to do?
Is she here?
How do you know who she is?
I don't know.
Nobody cares.
She'll do her time.
She'll get her money.
It's like she's a...
Do you mind if I mention the thing we talked about, the certain particular type of trafficking that's being over...
I won't mention the source, but...
Let me tell you what the real story is.
Listen to this one.
The real story is that when we talk about trafficking, That the notion of sexual trafficking may be not a limited hangout.
Well, maybe to an extent.
But the real issue is labor trafficking.
See, that's the problem.
That's the problem.
Let me ask you this.
What if I told you, if I said, what are you doing?
Well, we've got this.
We're going to bring in the...
They'll cut your whatever off.
You've got...
No!
Well, you know, this is...
No!
Labor trafficking.
People coming to work for nothing.
Not for cheap.
For nothing.
Bring them in.
Who's going to believe them?
What?
They're there.
There's no bodies around there.
There's no pictures.
There's no nothing.
There's a...
I can put...
You know what I can do?
I can say, I'll give you a thousand workers.
For free.
How do you like them?
I'll take it.
Labor trafficking.
Did you ever hear about people chained to their desks?
You think I'm kidding?
See, nobody ever even thinks of that.
That's going to be the real...
The sex stuff is kind of like a...
Put it this way.
It's like people say, well, at least they're not sex trafficking.
At least they're not doing that.
You see how this works?
There's so much stuff.
I have friends of mine that I love talking to because they think like me.
And you know what they never say to me?
You know what they never say?
Who cares?
Who cares about that?
They never say that.
They never say that.
When you talk about certain things, they never say that.
Little thing on the side of none is Mrs. Allen and I were...
Today we did our foray into our Costco to get just different comestibles and coffee.
Eggs are back.
You see that?
Eggs are back.
You think it was about some flu?
No.
No.
But coffee went up for a lot, right, honey?
A lot.
See how that works?
Is it tariffs?
I don't know.
This is the most...
Food is like water.

I love talking to people, one in particular, kind of a Washington type.
I just love it.
And the reason why I love it is that there's this kind of like sensibility.
Like what's Trump doing?
How's he doing?
He's doing better than you think.
He's doing better than you think.
And he's doing so many good things where he's doing stuff that, how do I say this?
And one of the things which has people going berserk is the notion Of the tariffs.
Nobody really understands this.
Nobody really follows it.
What does that mean?
It's good, right?
Is it good?
Oh, I guess it's good.
I mean, does it work?
I guess it works.
Fox News.
Trump says, you're going to love my tariffs.
Oh, yes sir, boss.
Good.
That's right.
Good.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
I don't know.
Now, I will tell you this, and I'm sure you may or may not understand, and my friend, Agrees with me.
Foreign Affairs, IR, International Relations is a joke.
An absolute joke.
Now, I am not going to try to explain.
I'm sure maybe you have, okay?
I've tried to explain this to people, but it works kind of like this.
Because you have watched Fox News, You have this idea that in the Middle East, everybody there, they're just crazy.
They're all crazy.
They're just, they're nuts.
And I hear this, I see this all the time, and it drives me bananas.
And what it is, is Islam is crazy.
That Islam, they're all crazy.
Well, that's what you get.
And they talk about goats and the 72 virgins.
These people don't know what the hell they're talking about.
They have literally, literally no idea of what they're talking about.
None!
It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life.
They have no idea what they're talking about.
They have no idea what they're doing.
They have no...
I've never seen anything like it.
So, consequently, they have this idea that you can just sit there and say, bomb Iran.
Remember, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
Why do you want to bomb Iran?
And they look at me like, what are you talking about?
Are you crazy?
Why do you want to do this?
Well, let me tell you something.
Why do you think one of some of the reasons people say this?
Because...
Of the information that they receive.
If you watch Fox News, you are being played like such a chump, it's not even funny.
And you don't want to hear what I have to say.
Because you have, not you, but they, I should say they, they have already in their minds, in their world, found themselves that are, I guess, of the opinion.
That these people in the Middle East, other than Israel, I guess, but that if you are Muslim, you are crazy.
That you're living in some world, and I know you've seen this before, and I know you have.
And I'm thinking to myself, there are people who believe this.
There are people who believe it.
Our good friend, Sparky, says, before the modern era, At least a third of the average adult's efforts in wealth went to food, rent, mortgage, and car payments.
Oh, food.
Rent, mortgage, and car payments are the big expenses nowadays.
Oh, absolutely.
Without a doubt.
But so much of it also, as you know, Sparky, so much of it also is this incredible...
How did I say this?
It's how you're raised.
And what you're told.
I didn't need to blackmail one person to make you think the way you do.
None.
I'm looking to see them.
By the by.
I hope you've seen my videos tonight.
I've got one coming out.
Maybe it's out already.
It's about Ella?
Remember her?
Ella?
Emhoff?
This is Kemala's daughter-in-law.
You've got to listen to this one.
I'm sorry, step up.
What am I saying?
I've been talking for so long today.
You've got to understand.
I'm just like, I don't even know what I'm saying.
She worked.
She explains that When she worked for doing campaign stuff, that they deliberately...
They deliberately...
This is so terrible.
They deliberately kept her from scary stuff.
From scary...
Not scary, but mean people.
They didn't want her to be...
In any way triggered by maybe perhaps working at a campaign thing for her stepmother and having somebody call up and say something.
So they kept her from this.
They shielded her from the horrors of having to do this because she's such a little powder puff that she couldn't take it.
Go Ansar Allah.
Fight the power.
Now, Sparky, how many people do you think know who Ansar Allah...
What that represents.
Anyway, you've got to watch that.
You've got to hear about this teacher.
This predator teacher.
You're not going to believe this story.
You're not going to believe this story.
But anyway, we'll get to that in a moment.
How many people do you think you don't answer all of this?
Nobody.
People don't know anything about it.
They know nothing about the mindset.
Those people, to them, are crazy.
They live in this world of whatever it is.
They just...
And they make stuff up.
Oh, I've read the Koran.
No, you didn't.
Oh, yes, I did.
No, you didn't.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Did you read the Bible, too?
Did you read the Constitution?
Oh, yes.
They've read all this stuff.
And by the way, they've analyzed it.
It's just, I've learned a long time ago, and this is a point I've learned a long time ago.
Please, remember, we live in America, and I love my country, but my fellow Americans are some of the dumbest people I've ever met in my life.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I'm not trying to be cute here.
I'm dead serious.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
And there are people who watch, and I'm going to say this, Fox News.
Remember years ago, maybe you don't.
Maybe you do, maybe you don't.
But when...
I told you, I've been reading Downbeat.
I love jazz forever, since I was in high school.
And it's such a complicated issue.
Jazz is a very, very...
It's a complicated, dare I say, legend of...
Anyway.
So to make a long story short, years ago when Kenny G came out, people said, you know, I like jazz.
It's Kenny G. And I said, Kenny G?
Wow.
Kenny G?
Jesus.
I said, you know, not for nothing, but that's really not, that's really not jazz.
I mean, it is, but, I mean, that'll do, but that's really not it.
And people say, what are you talking about?
I say, well, because it's just, well, when you talk about Fox News, How do you explain this?
Ansarala knows who they are, and they're big fans of Lionel Nation.
They watch all the time.
Oh, that's great.
Thank you.
Terrific.
You know, one thing, it's funny you say this.
You know, you have to, and we have to, all recognize something which is very important.
And that is simply this.
You have to understand what people think on the other side.
You have to know what people think on the other side.
If you don't know what people think regarding, let's say, the enemy, if you will, you're wasting your time.
If you don't understand that when you're fighting the Vietnamese, Viet Cong, or the ISIS, if you don't know what they're fighting for, remember during that great Shelby Foot piece?
On the Civil War, one of the generals said, what are you fighting for?
Or why are you fighting us?
He asked a confederate.
And he said, because you're here.
Because you're here.
You're in my home.
That's why I'm fighting.
Because you're here.
Who do you think you are?
It makes complete and total sense.
Complete and total sense.
But do you think anybody, do you think that anybody, do you think that, oh my God, that Sean Hannity would ever say, well, what's the beef?
Let's talk to somebody from Hamas.
What is Hamas?
Are they terrorists?
Of course.
Well, they were listed as a terrorist organization.
Who said that?
Who wrote that?
Ask them, are you a terrorist organization?
No.
I'm not even going to bother.
And you have to realize when you've been doing this as long as I have, you've got to realize sometimes there are people you just don't talk to.
You just don't talk to them.
You say, okay, I understand.
There's nothing that you can say.
Sparky says, I like Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck.
Jazz has a broad range.
People can pick and choose with jazz.
You know, when Take 5 came out, a lot of the people like my friend Nat Adderley said that when he...
When Cool Jazz came out, and that whole Dave Brubeck, by the way, Dave Brubeck gave us Paul Desmond.
Remember part of that Cool Jazz, Jerry Mulligan, and that sort of thing.
But Take 5 was like, okay, that was good.
Miles Davis changed everything.
You know, the blue, oh my god.
Anyway, so my friends, that's where that is tonight.
Do we understand each other?
I hope so.
I want to thank you for being a part of this eve, for allowing me the opportunity to speak with you tonight.
I appreciate this.
Have a great and a glorious day.
Please follow Mrs. L at Lynn's Warriors.
Wonderful stuff.
Unbelievable.
And what she is doing?
Always working.
Putting together bags.
Putting together...
Always for victims and groups.
I'm telling you, it's a 24-hour almost thing.
Our living room sometimes looks like a...
I don't know what it looks like, but it's for a great cause.
So follow her at Lynn's Warriors.
Also follow me here at Lionel Nation.
Make sure that you are definitely still subscribed.
And to my good friend, My lone, my soul, my universal, my ubiquitous benefactor this evening, Sparky, on behalf of a grateful nation, thank you, my friend, for your kindness.
Thank you for your, and I mean this sincerely, thank you for your generosity and for your perspicacity and for your demented way of looking at things which I so adore.
Have a great and glorious day, my friend.
See you tomorrow.
Oh, Sparky says, his cool jazz is great, but Miles really...
Nailed it with sketches of Spain.
Very good, my friend.
Bitches Brew wasn't too bad either.
All right, my friends.
Have a great day.
See you tomorrow.
Usual dime in the morning.
Until then, remember, the monkey's dead.
Show's over.
Sue you.
