There are two different ways to look at politics.
Actually, there's more than two, but I'm going to make it simple.
The first is dealing with issues and what people are talking about and how President Trump can do a very good job and what he can do to...
To involve himself in the various goings-on, to try to incorporate the message of MAGA or MAHA or whatever his particular thing is.
There's that way.
But there's also something which is important, which is even more important, which is what I like to point to.
And that is simply this.
I believe in trying to form, if at all possible, a cultural move.
You want your politics to be cool.
You want it to be popular.
Feel the same way for your politics that so many people feel towards radical left.
For example, there are people who talk about climate change.
They really don't know anything about climate change.
They don't care about climate change, but they say this just so that they can fit in with their folks and their friends who spout this gibberish.
That's the way this works.
And what's happening right now is the president is Fans and has more people than you can imagine who love him.
Absolutely, positively.
And this, you can believe me when I tell you this.
I don't care what you think.
I mean, I like it, but I was watching And I do like them.
I like, you know, Judge Napolitano and all these folks and Mearsham.
I like to get that kind of a foreign look.
And what they're talking about may be true about the world, but Americans don't care anything about this.
Americans really, honest to God, truly, do not care anything about pro-Hamas protesting or Palestinian protesting.
It doesn't work.
You know, Houthis versus Iran.
It doesn't, I mean, yeah, but that's not it.
That's not the bread and butter issue.
The issue that people like is Trump himself.
And that's what's critical.
I don't care about anything involving what people believe to be this notion of what Trump is.
I like Trump the person.
And that's what I want to sell.
Trump the person.
There was this deal about Bill Maher, who was playing this a little bit, I think April the 11th, he is foregone.
He says, I'm going to give you my reaction.
He apparently went to the White House with Kid Rock and Dana White, and he's going to react nine days from now, which is stupid.
It'll be already done.
But the reason why he's doing this is not because this is a rapprochement.
A detente, so to speak, between the left.
No!
His career, he's smarter to realize it's done.
He's looking at what other people have done, like Chappelle and others.
And the real smart ass about him, that real nasty kind of looking at the contumacity of what's happening in the world, is better aligned with people, believe it or not, who believe in Trump.
Then who believe in this lunacy called the left?
This is a career move front and center.
So we're going to be talking about that.
Before we commence, let me remind you, make sure you are subscribed to Lionel Nation, right here where you are, because people sometimes get unsubscribed for reasons I don't get.
I don't really understand, but they do.
But first, this word.
From our sponsor.
Let me ask you a question.
What happens when the trucks stop?
Think about this.
Trucks.
You know, the trucks that bring your food.
And then when one store closes because of a riot or ransomware hit or a hurricane or even manufactured weather.
Oh yeah!
We've talked about that.
What happens when all of a sudden, suddenly, the entire supply chain collapses like dominoes?
What happens then?
We've seen it happen, and it doesn't take much.
And that's the thing you've got to think about.
A trucker strike, a cyber attack, some EMP, some Carrington class disaster, a city shut down by violence.
It only takes one spark for shelves to go empty fast.
And when that happens, and when that moment hits, you either have what you need or you don't.
And that's why I am telling you.
I want you to go to preparewithlionel.com.
Our trusted friends at MyPatriotSupply.
They're offering unbelievable deals right now.

All right, my friend.
By the way, our good buddy, Raul Rodriguez, says, how can Bill Maher help President Trump?
It's a very good question.
Touché.
What he does is, he does a couple of things.
First, he demystifies the notion of what Trump is.
He tells people, in a sense, hey, I like him, he's not so bad.
More and more and more of the people who say, when they get the okay, like, you know what, it's alright, I kind of like him.
The more we see this, the more it happens.
As we speak, there are folks who are trying their best to, dare I say, explain what is happening.
And they do, well, look at this.
I happen to watch these two clips from Fox News.
I haven't watched Fox News in so long.
I think I know who these folks are.
But here is their take on this.
Let's analyze this.
15, and he has been relentless.
Is this the Kennedy girl or lady?
I think Kennedy.
Really?
Ever since?
Yeah, well, Bill, when he showed up at the White House, he had actually brought a list of insults Trump had said about him and gave it to Trump.
And what did he do?
He signed it.
Which is very Trumpian.
And they laughed and they laughed.
Kudos to Mar.
You know, he knows this is going to Burn whatever bridge that remains with the tolerant left.
But he said full steam ahead.
And you've got to give credit to Kid Rock.
He went out on a limb as a bridge between two...
No, he didn't, by the way.
Kid Rock did not go out on a limb.
And the reason why is because Kid Rock has already established himself.
He has nothing to do with these people.
This actually benefits him because he seems to be kind of like the Henry Kissinger, so to speak, of this.
He's the hostage negotiator.
So, no, no, no, it doesn't work like that.
Two quarreling people that he happens to be friends with, and that is sharing the risk.
At its best.
And what do you do when you share the risk?
It causes other people to share the risk, too.
Not really.
This is too simplistic.
So both of these guys had something to lose, but they put their egos...
No.
Kid Rock had nothing to lose.
Kid Rock already cemented his position with the right, and he actually becomes more powerful because, like I said, he's a kingmaker, a peacemaker.
He can bridge the two.
This is nonsense.
Because they realize there's nothing to lose at all once you put your egos aside.
And because Kid Rock was able to take the risk, they all decided to take the risk.
Now, again, this is not true.
Bill Maher is doing this because of his career.
Bill Maher, either his people or somebody are saying, Bill, it's time to, you've got to rise.
First of all, we are talking about you more than ever.
Let me remind you, and I know GutBugget knows this, but let me just reiterate this.
You are in the consciousness of the world more now by virtue of your affiliation or your trashing the libs than you were supporting the libs.
Look at Keith Olbermann and those folks.
It doesn't mean nothing.
The radical, angry person.
It's about getting airspace.
It's about getting newspaper time.
It's about getting headline time.
And Bill Maher, smart enough to realize this, this is professional wrestling.
I hate to say it.
And I think they're going to win from it.
The scariest part for a lot of people is finding out that Trump might be a good person.
Because you've sunk so much of your energy.
He's reading something.
I don't know what he's reading.
And your life.
And to him being bad.
So you might not want to meet him.
Because the moment that you have to relinquish any of that sunk cost, what's left?
See, this is gibberish.
This is gibberish.
They also read a lot of notes.
You know who reads a lot of notes?
Ainsley.
She has just a stack of papers she was reading.
I mean, I don't know about...
Look, God bless them, okay?
But I'm saying, Don't read.
That's why you still have it.
I think it's easier for Democrats.
For never-Trump Republicans, they can't let it go because their entire identity is wrapped around that.
You see how this is going nowhere?
It's not funny.
It's not well thought.
It's not well parsed.
It's just kind of like, sort of.
Not really.
I mean, you know, bless his heart.
...of who they are.
They go into a room with them.
That's sunk cost.
That's why I never want to meet AOC.
It'll make it harder for me to ridicule her.
This is nonsense.
These are people, they've not thought any of this out.
That is so true.
No, it's not true.
Don't want to be empathetic.
This is not true.
This is somebody who, by the way, just told you that the basis and bases of their political ideology is personal.
I can meet I can meet people that absolutely I might like, but I don't like what they see in one aspect of it.
It's not I like them or I don't like them.
That's this ridiculous world that we're in right now of fan club politics.
Yeah, exactly.
What?
Did you just say I would be attracted to AOC?
Don't you love this?
Somebody said, bring back the funny.
Americans want this funny kind of...
Remember PM Magazine?
This is the five.
Lower the fruit.
Remember, the fruit has to be hanging low.
Where did you get that from?
You're a live, straight man.
Okay.
Now I know why I didn't.
Here's Kid Rock.
Bless his heart.
Good for him, I guess.
I'm Bill Show.
I went on his podcast.
Now, by the way, look at him right now.
Who does he look like?
Tell me.
I want you to look at him right now.
Can you tell?
This may be a little bit tough.
May not be the best angle.
May not be the best angle.
Can I give you a hint?
He was born on my birthday.
The person I'm talking about?
Macaulay Culkin.
Look at him.
That's who I thought it was.
Now, understand something.
Just so that you understand me.
I don't care about me, what I like.
That's not it.
I'm talking to you only about the reality of this.
Not what I like.
I have never heard a Kid Rock song.
I don't know anything about him.
I don't feel...
Doesn't matter.
Bill Maher, I thought, he's okay.
It's not...
I don't...
It's the same way I feel like, hey, look at this.
I always like to see food.
Remember when smoothies came out of nowhere?
Here in New York, there was the muffin craze.
Oh my God, they went from bagels to muffins.
Muffins were, and then we went to paninis, and then they went no gluten.
There's nothing to do with what I personally like.
I'm just observing this.
And Kid Rock is very smart.
Kid Rock has said, much like John Wayne did years ago, he did it within his group.
He said, I don't know if he's conservative or if he's a Republican.
You know there's a difference, right?
Being a Republican means you like trouble.
Being a conservative is more of the values.
Macaulay Culkin.
Take a look.
Now let's see what he has to say.
I went on Bill's show, I went on his podcast, and I said, man, you know, nothing happens if people don't break bread together.
Oh, this is such bullshit.
Like he's trying to bring sides together.
Okay, fine.
I'll go along with this.
Face-to-face, he's been one of the president's hardest critics, and we came to dinner, me, Bill, Dana White, and...
Dana White's big in there.
By the way, Dana White, I'm going to say something to you right now.
Mr. President?
Mr. President?
Every time I get the chance to say this, you're making two mistakes.
Stay away from the Tate brothers and Conor McGregor.
That's all I'm saying.
You know what to do.
Don't be drawn into this.
Trump is kind of like...
I don't want to say...
He's kind of a...
Reminds me of the jocks.
You know what I mean?
The jocks.
He does have a Porter Wagner jacket.
That was, like, made by Nudie, you know?
They kind of dig this towel-snapping sort of, you know what I mean, that sort of...
I don't know what the word is, but...
It's a very strange...
It's a very, very strange deal.
Very odd.
But that's okay.
Look, it's who he is.
I dig it.
And maybe that's kind of Don Jr.
You know, also keep an eye on how the press is playing up this Don Jr. thing.
And this new girlfriend.
And notice, Eric is nowhere to be found.
Nowhere.
Props, by the way, props to Lara, Lara Trump.
Lara, Lara.
Absolutely great.
Great interview with Susie Wiles.
Great, great, great, great, great, great.
Great.
Good move for her.
You did well.
You got out of the way.
You helped her.
Eric is more done.
Remember, you got the ex-wife.
You got Tiger Woods.
You got this poor Kai who had her first time.
She did lousy.
But she'll do well.
I like Kai.
I think she's got a real future.
She seems like just a nice kid.
You know what I mean?
And I hope she does well and all that stuff, but it's a very, very interesting and fascinating thing.
So, just a little, I'm sorry, a lot of prefatory background, but that's the way I am.
And it could not have been better.
Everyone was so surprised, so pleasant.
The most shocking thing to me was, you know, Bill's obviously a very big liberal, been very hard on the president, but he's donated a lot of money to other politicians.
You know, you've had Biden, Clinton, Obama, everybody.
He had never been to the White House, and the president was so gracious.
He took us up to the private residence.
We saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln bedroom, and I was like, you've never been here, Bill?
And I was like, how about this?
President Trump, you know, extending this olive branch, and we talked about things.
We had in common, you know, ending wokeness, you know, securing the border.
You know, the president was asking him what he thought about policy, you know, going on with Iran and Israel and things.
It just blew my mind.
I was very proud.
Bob, do you think he walked away liking him?
Because, you know, Trump is the type of person that you've got to meet him to understand.
Now, this fellow, Lawrence or whatever, They're really pushing him.
He's okay.
He needs a lot of work.
A lot of work.
I mean, he's...
And it has something to do with anything else.
It's more like loosening up or something.
He just...
It's just...
Kill me on the...
It's an interesting group.
I haven't watched it in a while.
Kill me on the right.
Kill me is like the...
You know.
Deucey's got it.
Deucey's kind of like your goofy Uncle Dave.
And Ainsley in the middle there reading her notes.
But this Lawrence, he's getting there.
He has some good...
But I'm telling you, and I'm saying it right now, and it's the brutal truth.
Mispronunciations, almost as bad as Victor Davis Hans.
The worst!
Letitia James, Letita.
Oh my God!
There's something where you...
I am, dare I say, I'm so punctilious about...
Pronouncing, getting names right.
Lawrence, they're working on it, but he's...
No.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
Me and Dana both said there was like, there's never anybody that's ever met the president in any scenario that's walked away without saying like, wow, what a great guy.
So funny.
So engaging.
He's so smart.
And absolutely, Bill even said to me, you know, after that, he goes, wow, that was, you know, everybody's mind was kind of blown.
Even the president.
I hate to break it to you, and you might not like this, but when you are a President of the United States, and you are normally a politician, I promise you, you can meet anybody.
Nixon, Obama, Clinton, Reagan.
You're in the White House.
You're on his turf.
You are awestruck.
You are awestruck.
You're in the private residence.
You're, oh my God!
Meeting the president, you're in the Oval Office, and you realize, and to Trump's credit, he really is ingratiating.
He knows what it is.
He has been a celebrity his whole life.
He knows what it's like.
So, I understand this.
He's very smart.
This isn't about...
Bill Maher.
This is about the world saying, see what's happening?
You see what's happening?
This, it's not the fact that they met, it's the story of that they met.
That's the big deal.
Presidents, I think, because the president called me late night last night, and you know, everyone was a little...
The president is calling this guy.
Good for him!
Suspect about going into this, and even the president kind of...
By the way, this is all bullshit.
The fact that Trump knows exactly his people did it.
Trump probably arranged this.
Watch what happens.
Trump is really smart.
Trump knows about ratings.
He knows about Cume.
He knows what he's doing.
Try to bring people together.
It doesn't give a shit about bringing people together.
Stop that.
Listen, that's your story and you're sticking to it.
I understand it.
Nobody cares about bringing Bill...
Remember, it's not Bill Maher.
It's the story of Bill Maher.
That's the story.
That was my whole intention.
You know, that was so important because so many people now are in their own little silos and they don't even talk to the people across the street because they voted for somebody else.
You showed that two of the biggest, most vocal...
People on both sides of the aisle can break bread, have a good time, and ultimately, I'm sure you took a bunch of pictures.
He's a Hollywood suck-ass, is what he is.
He's a suck-up.
I don't know what's worth.
And we understand this.
This is political.
Yes.
Okay, Steve.
Take it easy.
We did.
Well, we kind of checked our phones.
You know, the president put his phone on a table, and he said everybody, you know, and the guys kind of took ours, and the White House took some pictures, which I'm sure they'll put out at some point, because I can't wait to have one of those.
I was clowning around the White House all day, taking pictures in the bowling alley and this, running around in my flashy, as your son called it, Peter, my shot out of a cannon suit.
That was funny.
So you did this, you set this up.
Do you sense that anything will change with Bill Maher's show from here?
Because I think he's been very fair, to be honest, out of all those shows.
They're actually believing this is kind of like the thawing of the Cold War.
This is Nixon going to China or Nixon meeting with Brezhnev.
I mean, they're really milking the hell out of it.
But for the Fox News crowd, okay.
What do you think?
That's my hope.
Mars people are saying, here's the deal.
His Q rating, his popularity rating, his knowledge, this has gone up monumentally.
Monumentally.
It has cascaded.
We have heard more about him.
Think about this.
Who are the big lib folks?
Anybody hear about Stephen Colbert?
Nope.
Anybody hear about Jimmy Fallon?
Who?
Who are the...
No.
Chappelle's changing.
Other people are changing.
People are recognizing.
They're kind of getting away from it.
I'll tell you who took a really bad turn.
A really, really bad turn is Bill Burr.
And also, watch how careful...
And my only advice to Joe Rogan is be careful.
Don't, you know, pick the hill you want to die on because Joe is apparently very upset over the fact that people are being pulled off the street and sent to prison.
You're right, but be careful how you phrase that.
And God bless Bill, too, for, he even said going into this, he goes, God bless Bill.
A guy who's doing it only for his career.
Bill Maher has no heart, no soul, no confession.
He's not doing it for any other reason than Bill Maher.
As people have talked to them, they say, listen, we've got to talk about the next two years, five years down the road.
You've got to go on, and you might be able, if you do your stand-up, you'll have a different audience, and then there'll be the story of how I became a common-sense, not a Republican, but a common-sense American.
How I...
Because the left, and I'll tell you in a moment, is done.
It's done.
No matter what you think you hear about Teslas...
Look at them!
Bill Maher is saying, do I want to be a part of this?
Do I want to be a part of this insanity?
Hell no!
And what we are seeing right now, more than anything else, which is so critical, is this reality of how things change.
Remember when country music sort of went...
During the days of the outlaws, when William Whalen and all the kind of a change, certain things have to give.
And what Maher's going to do is, I am not a Republican, but I'm common sense.
That's how he's going to do it.
Not that there's been this, again, this rapprochement.
Because I was like, oh, Bill, I know, you know.
Some of this Hollywood stuff, it would be great for you to get thrown out, and it would probably be good for you to double down and be like, you know, I can't stand this guy.
And he goes, Bob, I'm not going to sabotage something that potentially could bring us and other people together.
Who is Bob?
Is his name Bob?
You know, just to show that, you know, that family member that you kind of divided with over politics or that person at the school when you drop your kids off that you know is a left-wing person and you're like, maybe we'll just, you know, hey, we can find things we have in common.
It gets so easy to go on social media and one thing we learned through COVID was that isolation breeds hatred.
We need to get out and talk to one another.
And you did it and you made a difference.
I listened to Brian Killing.
Thanks so much.
You did it.
What did you do?
Oh, for God's sake.
Make it sound like this is the, again, like this is, you know, the Appomattox or something.
Stop it.
Stop it.
It's unbelievable.
This is the most important thing in the world.
This is, yeah, oh, it's Kid Rock and Ms. Robert.
I have no idea.
I've never heard of Kid Rock, so I don't know anything about it.
But God, you know, good for him.
But that's the story.
That's the shtick.
Right now.
We, they owe, Bill Maher owes everybody this absolute, this is unbelievable in terms of the coverage of this.
Because remember, it's all show business.
The only reason these people are behind this, the only reason why, remember, people in show business, for the most part, are shallow.
They don't care.
They'll do anything.
They'll wear.
They will expose themselves.
They have no morals, no sense of connection to anything.
This is who they are.
So that's good.
This is smart.
But let me tell you who's really smart is Trump.
Trump does this stuff.
I have this picture of Trump doing...
Remember, he is the first, not movie star, but celebrity.
He was a celebrity, a TV celebrity.
Not Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan was a movie actor, but then he got out, he was a governor, and he forgot all that stuff.
Ronald Reagan became, especially with that GE stuff, Trump is a celebrity, and he knows how to play this.
And deep down inside, they love him.
They loved him.
You understand this?
So it's all about money.
It's all about numbers.
There's nothing to do with it.
There's been no, again, no rapprochement, none of that stuff.
That's ridiculous, okay?
It's the left.
Now, what we have to remind people of, and I did, I just dropped a brand new video of this fellow named, and you might have heard of him.
His name is Eli, I think it's Mistel.
Did you see this?
Yes, his name is Ellie Mistel.
And he is a lunatic, but not clinically crazy, but he is the angriest, he's the new angry, black, intellectual, spouting gibberish within the purview of his own isolated group.
Remember, know your group.
If you are a, how do I say this?
If you are a, what am I saying?
If you are a Civil War reenactor, then fine.
Be a Civil War reenactor.
You know what I mean?
Just do that.
Now, there was this fellow named Eric Michael Dyson, or Michael Eric Dyson, I remember, who was another one of these angry, As my friend says, suedo intellectuals who came out of nowhere, who all of a sudden spouted and spewed this unending drivel, drivel in a lot of this kind of false sesquibedalium.
Remember when Jesse Jackson, I wonder how Jesse's doing.
I guess he's still alive.
You see about Val Kilmer, bless his heart, very, very sad.
Remember when Jesse Jackson would say, and the contumacity of the capacity, and the ruminosity, and he would just make up, you know, kind of like these neologisms.
Well, Eric Michael Dyson is another one.
This is the fellow who came along.
Well, Ellie Mistel is the new fellow.
And he also, he looks like Ethel Waters.
For those of you who don't know, he looks exactly like Ethel Waters.
Our good friend Ryan says, Bill Maher, junk yogurt, Mika and Joe, Isn't this all some on the left adjusting their tactics because they realize the old ones don't work, that it would be better to flatter Trump into a particular policy position?
Yes, it's a couple of things.
And thank you, by the way.
It's a couple of things.
First, it is the people who run the show recognizing the fact that these people serve no purpose anymore.
Anymore.
That the country has changed.
Disco is over with.
You remember how in the radio biz it went from oldies to classic rock?
It's not a used car.
It's a pre-owned.
And the question that people ask repeatedly during all this stuff was, why are they doing this?
Well, I'll tell you why they're doing it.
They're doing this all because of the fact that it's all about money.
This fellow, the big news, no, the big, what's his, forget his name.
He was on MSDNC.
Very, very great.
He was giving great reports.
Now he's going back to NBC.
NBC is cutting, cutting.
The cord, so to speak, they're like making the hemispherectomy with MSDNC.
It's over.
And it's over for different reasons.
We don't know why.
It just is.
I don't know why.
You can argue all along.
But the people like...
Every now and then you'll see a Keith Olbermann, like this angry, screaming.
That's done.
The country is just different.
It's not so much, put it this way.
It's not so much that they've embraced Trump so much.
It's because that they have also kind of grown up.
We're a different group of people.
And all of a sudden, something doesn't work.
Some things work.
Some things don't.
Don't know why.
I would venture to say, Kid Rock.
He's more famous for being Kid Rock than his music.
Do you know any of his music?
Please, don't count me.
I'm not the audience.
But most people, Kid Rock is smart.
He says, I'm not doing my music anymore.
That might be a tangential.
I'm doing something else.
I'm a Gary Sinise, the actor, who became very involved in helping Military families and the like.
Very interesting.
Very, very, very interesting.
He's kind of changed.
He's kind of gone that way.
You always have to ask yourself, what is your image?
What are you doing?
Does it still fit?
Does it still make sense anymore?
Who needs the angry black intellectual?
Where do they fit in?
How does this work?
So I want to tell you, first of all, probably two of the most incredibly most frightening stories about revising reality.
Put it this way.
If you think fake news is bad, what do you think they're going to do with history?
Fake history.
Tolstoy said history would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.
The fake history is far more dangerous when in the wrong hand.
Well, how do you fake history?
How do you change the perception of what happened in the old days?
Simple.
I've got two examples coming up that will blow your mind, but first this.

Trust me.
I mentioned, in fact, I've got this brand new video.
Please, I implore you to check it out.
It's regarding this fellow, Ellie Mistel.
You might have seen him.
And this is kind of sort of where these people are.
And when I tell you this, this kind of a...
I don't know what the word is.
Kind of a discursive, elliptical, desultory, confused...
Anger.
Where you have a bunch of white people who bring on the angry white man, who looks like Ethel Waters, by the way.
Check out this fright wig.
And they sit there and they nod, not really understanding what he is, but pretending that this is part and parcel of their leftist ideology.
This is Mr. or not Professor.
This is Mr. Mistel on The View.
I'm sure you've seen this fellow.
By the way, check this out.
Now, when you first see this, when you first see this, didn't you think, who is she?
And then you realize, no, it's not a man.
I mean, bless it.
I like, I'm not trying to mock him, but it reminds me kind of, I think it was Ethel Waters.
I had that shock of white hair.
So this, this is the The conservative...
No, excuse me.
Pardon me.
He's the radical, black, angry professor type on the show doing his thing.
And watch this.
Now, this administration is using this statute to justify the detentions and possible deportations, actually, of Visa and Greenheart cardholders.
Just reading.
Just reading.
She's pulling an Ainsley.
Just reading off her.
She has no idea what she's saying.
Just reading it off.
They seem to deem a threat to U.S. foreign policy.
What do you make of the administration's use of the act?
Look at this.
She doesn't even understand.
They handed her this card.
I think this is Sunny Hostage.
She's just reading it.
Has no idea what she's saying.
And more broadly, is Trump really setting up a First Amendment showdown, which is what Whoopi's been talking about?
Yes, absolutely.
One of my premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional.
Every law passed before the 1965, including the Constitution, and in this video I've just got, so please make sure you subscribe to Lionel Nation.
It should be basically presumptively unconstitutional.
Well, why is that, Ellie?
Right, because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country.
Really?
Did you know that?
We were in an apartheid country before 1965.
Now remember, ABC is doubling down with this.
They are doubling down.
They're saying, you know, MSDNC, you may be faking it, but we're going whole hog.
Not everybody who lived here could vote here.
That's true.
And prior to that, that's right, women couldn't vote until it was 1919, the 19th Amendment, and then there was a slavery.
You're right.
There was a Fugitive Slave Act before 1960.
Was it 1964?
When we incorporated by reference, we didn't even have an exclusionary rule.
So that's right.
It's called evolution.
You're right about that.
Why should I give about some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s?
He said, by the way, why should I give an F, is what he said.
Did you know that?
You see that?
Now, this is, remember, why are they doing this?
Why are they doing this?
Why are they promoting this person?
Do they not know what's going on?
Do they not read the tea leaves?
Do they not understand this?
Somebody somewhere is saying, we're not going to abandon our deal.
We're not going to abandon our whatever you want to call this.
We are not going to do it.
This is the angry black man or whatever it is, and we are going to stick with that presumptive affect.
Before anybody else.
I mean, we're just going to do this.
We are going to stick with this accordingly.
We are going to stick with this.
You got it?
Why?
Don't they understand?
Doesn't Bob Iger, doesn't ABC realize, where are you going with this?
Don't know.
But, what he's doing is, he's saying, I'm not going to be on a...
Fox News, whatever.
I have my audience.
And this is my audience that wants to hear me say this, and that's fine.
Now, one of the biggest cons ever, which I think is the most fascinating, is what happened with Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Wiki.
You do know, Wiki means it is changed by other people.
It's not a How do I say this?
It is not an encyclopedia.
It is changed.
It is changed.
It is a part of...
You can have this collective whatever you want.
And they tell you right off the bat.
This is not...
By the way, Wikipedia is great if you want to find out is somebody dead?
What's the capital of Venezuela?
You know, that kind of stuff.
So they also did, prior to that, was they came up with this notion of fact-finding.
Scopes, not Snopes.
Oh no, Snopes.
Scopes is the monkey draw.
Snopes, fact-check, or ABC, or whatever you want to call it.
That was the idea.
Okay, fine.
Now, very, very interesting when you look at all this stuff.
This became part and parcel of another iteration, another thing, another story.
And it became the idea that we're going to set an artificial group of people that are going to establish the facts.
And then we're going to say, well, let's let Snopes check that.
Well, let's let PolitiFact check that.
Let's see.
No, that's not true.
Snopes said this.
PolitiFact says, pants on fire.
Who were these people?
It was brilliant.
We will correct.
The facts.
We will take reality and history and we will change it.
So recently, I hope you saw this Catherine Maher.
She was the head of PBS.
I mean, they excoriated her.
It was an execration.
It was vilification.
It was the most brutal thing, I think, I have ever seen.
It was unreal.
And I hope you saw it.
I hope you out of your somehow saw this.
It was just frightful.
They nailed her.
I mean nailed her.
It was beautiful.
And everything you ever thought, everything you ever thought about About NPR or PBS and all that.
She pointed it out to be true.
Enough of the preparatory stuff.
Let me get her.
Here is...
She's talking to this fellow Trevor Noah.
Remember him?
He was on...
I guess he was head of the Daily Show for a while.
I don't know what his story is.
Listen to what she says about changing history to make it comport and comply with the reality she wants to be true.
The matter is that most written knowledge today has been written by white, colonial, European, North American.
Now think about this.
Think about what she said.
Let me watch this again.
Remember, this is the white woman for reasons I don't know.
Sometimes I've seen that maybe they, in a very strange way, They make us feel, or they themselves feel, maybe more humane or something by virtue of their capacity to empathize.
I don't know.
I can't.
But this is what she's saying.
The matter is that most written knowledge today has been written by white, colonial, European, North American men.
And so one of the things that we're really focused on is how do we think about correcting the record?
Correcting the record.
Did you hear what she just said?
Did you hear?
Correcting the record.
How do I correct the record of history?
How do I correct the record of history?
Correct it?
Now, if there's something wrong, sometimes you do know there are some perspectives and history, like Tolstoy said, history would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.
But that's not what she's saying.
I want to correct the record, meaning I'm going to change what people think history was and is.
When we think about writing people into history, how do we think about writing people into the present?
Writing them into history.
I'm going to write you into history.
Imagine being a sports person.
Well, opening game, the Mariners, you know what?
No, no, no, no.
I'm going to give them an extra run.
Why?
Because, well, the Yankees have always been this bloated, rich team.
That always wins opening.
You know what?
It's about time that we change that.
To write them in and to correct the record.
Who haven't been represented in the same way.
Knowledge, when we talk about knowledge for the whole world, it needs to be reflective of the whole world.
I don't know what that means.
And so one of the first things we do is we measure the gaps.
Who is missing on Wikipedia?
Who's missing?
How about people who had nothing to do with something?
Who's missing?
Who should be added?
Who's missing?
Not who is missing who was actually a part of this, but who's missing that we would like to have gone back in time and included, but weren't there.
Women are missing.
People of color are missing.
People from the Global South are missing.
Indigenous communities.
The Global South.
That's a big one now.
Communities are missing.
The history of black Americans is missing.
And I, this white lady, I'm going to correct it.
And you, Trevor, you can sit there and don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
I'm going to correct this.
You watch what I do.
Wikipedia.
Then we think about who's doing this work today and how can we support them?
And it's not just about, say, throwing money at the problem.
It's also about going directly to these communities and saying, what do we need to change about ourselves?
And about our history.
And about our reality.
You know, what about the experience of editing Wikipedia?
Editing.
The culture of Wikipedia, what about the policies of Wikipedia need to change?
Because in reality, the beautiful thing about Wikipedia is it is changeable all the time.
History is changeable all the time.
Reality is changeable all the time.
If you don't like reality, if you don't like truth, change it.
Edited 350 times a minute.
So if we want to change it...
That's fully within our power.
So, yes, we are cursed with a record that is hugely biased throughout history.
Biased?
But the power to change that, that agency, lies with every single one of us who contribute to it.
This is the most dangerous.
This is the most dangerous stuff you can imagine.
I want you to understand this.
Extra Miles says, thanks to you, Mrs. L, for all you do.
Thank you.
Laurie Cuck says, that scares the shite out of me, as well it should.
There is nothing more frightening than me going back and changing your history.
I remember one time watching this terrible, terrible story about Alzheimer's.
And Alzheimer's was horrible, as you can imagine.
Because your memory is who you are.
Your memory is who you are, what you're about, what you think, everything.
It is who and what you are.
That's who your memory is.
And if I take away your memory, You are the way, where you lived, where you grew up, the decade, the era, the part of the country, how many family members you have.
Were you an only child?
Did you go to a public school?
If I take that away, and I erase that, and I can erase it by either just zeroing it out or replacing it.
Then that's brainwashing.
Then that's menticide.
I've changed you.
You're not the same person.
We're not the same person.
It's one thing for you to say, understand what America is.
Absolutely.
Okay, folks, remember.
It's just like when we talk about World War II.
If you read American history, America won.
We won World War II.
We did it.
Normandy was it.
That was it.
Saving Private Ryan.
That's our story.
That wasn't even close to the story.
So what I want to do is to remind people, well, here's what I think we should do to supplement that.
I don't want to go back and rewrite.
I mean, maybe give alternate views, but I don't want to change something because I don't like the way it appears or what happened.
I don't want somebody saying, You didn't cooperate, America.
You didn't contribute because we don't like it.
No!
Or, for example, let's say the role of the African-American soldier at World War II either understated, segregation was there until Truman came along, but I don't want to put in the fact that black soldiers were at Normandy.
I don't even know if they were.
I'm not going to change it because I don't like What happened?
You see what I'm saying?
This is critical.
This is critical.
We don't change.
And when you have people, do-gooders, these people who feel this sense of, I'm going to be able to speak a reference point in my leftist community where I know exactly what to say.
I know exactly the thoughts.
I know exactly.
What the reality is that I want to be, I'm going to do this.
So when I go back into my, I promise you, this woman, I don't know who Catherine Moore, I don't know who she is.
I'll bet you she lives in a white world, in a gated community, drives a Range Rover, has no black friends, is not in a mixed, I'll bet you, anything.
Has, is theoretically open mind.
Just says, you know what?
I'm really not, wouldn't be, I don't know, maybe mixed marriages.
Well, you know, I want to talk about it.
Do you want to live in the black community?
Do you want to, do you, no.
Do you want to, and by the way, When you look at her and the way she speaks, doesn't she come across to you as the prototypical white bread person?
Yes.
She certainly does, doesn't she?
Yes.
It's the phoniness.
And wait until, had the Biden administration been more successful, they would have gone into gated communities.
You don't know this.
They were going to go into gated communities and basically say, You better have huge swaths of area devoted to low-income housing.
We know what that means.
Got that, Catherine?
Or you're...
Thank God it was stopped.
They talk a good game.
They know every trip, wire, everything.
What's also interesting now, which is fascinating, is that they're seeing the schizophrenia of the left.
Many people, many, many, many prototypical left people are Jewish, who don't understand, they view it as anti-Semitism, they don't know how to read this.
These other people, very interestingly enough, they're involved in this, for lack of a better word, they're in this, how do I say this?
They're in this bubble, this dream world, this, I don't know what you want to call it, but they believe that somehow they're part of a family and they're seeing their Teslas scratched.
Who drives Teslas?
Who?
It doesn't make any sense.
Our good friend Lori Cuck says the butterfly effect, But without consequence of outcome.
Interesting.
Do you mean the...
Do you mean, dare I say, the...
What am I saying?
Do you mean the butterfly whereby you have...
When a butterfly flaps its wings, there's an effect.
Could very well be.
Could very well be.
What I'm trying to tell you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is something so important and so critical.
This is the time for us to recognize that this is not about Trump.
It's not about MAGA.
It's about changing the rest of society.
To change everything.
To change the way we think.
And it's going to be incremental.
Bring in Bill Maher to show, see, whatever, to show, it's not that Bill Maher is this, but people that were, you might be against Trump, but you, put it this way, you might not be a Trump fan, but you sure as hell don't like the way this country is going socially and the like.
To change history is one of the most frightening things anybody can imagine.
To change history is Beyond, because I want people to understand, you have to understand your history.
And history wasn't perfect.
Explore it, warts and all.
I've got no problem.
Talk about the fact that the first version of the Constitution had the Fugitive Slave Act.
I understand it.
The 13th Amendment took care of that.
I understand how women couldn't vote.
I understand that the Emancipation Proclamation is not what you think it was.
I understand that Lincoln...
Was not the great guy you think he was.
It wasn't, no.
Say it.
But add to it.
Supplement it.
Don't say, let me go back and fix this.
I'm going to go into my books and I'm going to change.
No.
The people who started this country were white, colonial, whatever you call them, European.
I'm sorry.
On the Mayflower, those folks happen to be of a particular ilk.
Had they been Scandinavian black people with an Irish surname, so be it!
That's not racism, that's...
And I'm sorry when it comes to patriarchal form of dominance, that was around the world.
That was around the world.
So think about this, my friends.
We're making tremendous impact here.
Tremendous.
Watch what these folks are.
Make sure you check out this new about this.
Watch this, Ellie.
Oh, he's amazing.
The sheer and absolute lunacy.
So, Laurie, I thank you so much.
And Extra Mile.
And Ryan, thank you.
And Raul, thank you.
What a day we've had.
I appreciate your being here.
Don't forget to follow Mrs. L at Lynn's Warriors.
Don't forget to follow our other channel at Lionel Legal and make sure you are subscribed here at Lionel Nation.
