Why We Talk About Tariffs
00:08:03
|
|
| I didn't break it. | |
| I just did something. | |
| Anyway, about to go on live in New York City for my weekend piece on WABC. | |
| 2 to 5 a.m. | |
| Yes, 2 to 5 a.m. | |
| Not 2 to 6, 2 to 5 a.m. | |
| Could I make sure that I'm even on? | |
| I know this is a bit of a surprise, those of you who might be, for whatever reason, paying attention right now. | |
| This is exactly 1.43 p.m. | |
| Do I have anybody? | |
| Just give me anybody who happens to be... | |
| There we go. | |
| There we go. | |
| Gina, Gina, what... | |
| I love the fact that people say, what are you... | |
| What is everybody up... | |
| What is everybody doing up so late? | |
| The same thing that the rest of the world is. | |
| I just went... | |
| I just was driving by a number of bars and they're pouring out into the street. | |
| Look at this. | |
| Beijing trying. | |
| 143 in Beijing. | |
| By the way, a good hello to our friends in China, our Chinese friends. | |
| China, who has been absolutely so monumentally just blasphemed. | |
| In any event, do I ever sleep? | |
| You know, it's funny, Mary. | |
| Of course I do. | |
| I sleep a little bit here, a little bit there, but I love doing this. | |
| Look at this Las Vegas. | |
| Genius. | |
| I'm going to call you genius, not Gina. | |
| Genius in lost wages. | |
| In any event, thank you so much. | |
| Today, my friends, I'm going to be talking about a variety of subjects. | |
| And I cannot get away from the guy who, I'm sorry, this will be a while before I get past it. | |
| The fellow who had his way with a corpse. | |
| And I've got to be careful of this, on a subway in New York City. | |
| But not just had his way, but absolutely, oh my God. | |
| You know what I just had? | |
| By the by. | |
| I'll just stop saying, by the way. | |
| They have these little cereal things. | |
| I mean, they're covered with a little sugar, which I shouldn't eat, but it was absolutely tasty. | |
| Sugar and cinnamon, I have no idea. | |
| Was it some kind of a dispenser? | |
| In any event, I'm going to be talking about that. | |
| And also, subjects which I think interest me. | |
| Some things I should be interested in, but I don't care about. | |
| Tariffs. | |
| Nobody cares about tariffs. | |
| By the way, is this coming out okay? | |
| I just want to make sure the sound is okay. | |
| Nobody gives a goddamn about tariffs. | |
| Do you? | |
| Do you wake up saying, what's going on with tariffs? | |
| Do you? | |
| Do you? | |
| Do you think anything about tariffs? | |
| Let me also say, by the way, my friends, please make sure you subscribe. | |
| You subscribe to this. | |
| And I'm also telling you something. | |
| If you're listening to me right now, there is a sponsor that we've used, PrepareWithLionel.com. | |
| I want to tell you something. | |
| While everything is calm right now, irrespective of this great president, please, for the love of God, make sure you at least look at you. | |
| Go to the... | |
| Not just food, which is important, but generators and power. | |
| I don't want to load you up with that, but it's really critical. | |
| I am an absolute positive believer in preparedness, especially when things are calm. | |
| Let me also tell you, the pod. | |
| The pod has changed my life. | |
| The pod is the most wonderful point. | |
| Did you see Trump Post? | |
| Let me just say, thank you, Mr. Keurig. | |
| What was the Trump Post that we speak of? | |
| You see, dear friend, if you don't tell me what the Trump Post was, I have no idea what it was. | |
| I already shocked him awake and you want to throw an ad at me. | |
| I throw an ad at you because this is commercial. | |
| This is commercial, yes. | |
| And the people that promote us, the people that we promote, Our great products and great people, and I will never, ever, ever shy away or in any way consider the sponsorship of these great people to be somehow intrusive on our discussion. | |
| So forgive me, but I am a proud capitalist. | |
| Okay. | |
| Pope, Pope, Laurie Martin Pope, welcome to the Fourth Reich. | |
| I don't know what this means. | |
| Let me see. | |
| Let me see if I can go back. | |
| Find out. | |
| Great sound. | |
| I care about tariffs a lot. | |
| But do you want to talk about tariffs? | |
| I shouldn't say you care about them. | |
| Do you want to talk about them? | |
| What is there to talk about? | |
| What is there to talk about tariffs? | |
| What is it that I'm asking? | |
| What? | |
| That you want to discuss that nobody's talked about involving tariffs? | |
| What is it? | |
| Tell me. | |
| What? | |
| What is it that I can do? | |
| Father Guido Sarducci wants you to find the Pope in the pizza. | |
| John, you have a genius. | |
| You have a genius. | |
| If you've got WeChat, I can send you the video. | |
| Could you do me a favor? | |
| Could you just tell me what the subject is that we're talking about? | |
| Don't send me a favor. | |
| Just tell me. | |
| President Trump or Trump said this in the video so that I know what you're talking about. | |
| That's all. | |
| You don't have to send me anything. | |
| You've got me intrigued now, but I don't know what the hell you're talking about. | |
| I'm in California where they want to dump dumping zillions of fruit flies from overseas. | |
| Oh, that's not going to be good. | |
| That, of course, is the perfusion of Drosophila into the areas probably sterilized. | |
| In order to stop the production of fruit flies. | |
| Let me see if I can find this. | |
| Kimberly says, yes, crazy right. | |
| What is? | |
| I don't know what this means. | |
| Again, I don't know what you're talking about. | |
| Listen, Uncle Lenny's not giving you a hard time right now. | |
| I swear to God I'm not giving you a hard time. | |
| I really mean it. | |
| Bonjour. | |
| Fruit fly. | |
| Fruit fly. | |
| Lionel is firing 24-7. | |
| That's true. | |
| That's correct. | |
| Do we ever find that about what is... | |
| What about Trump's... | |
| Is Trump's... | |
| Do we know about his thing? | |
| I'm looking desperately. | |
| How about Trump's post? | |
| What is it? | |
| I'll send it to you. | |
| No, just tell me what it is. | |
| No, I'll send it to you. | |
| No, seriously. | |
| Tell me. | |
| What is it? | |
| Okay. | |
| Mad scientist... | |
| WeChat. | |
| All right. | |
| You know, I'm not into, and I should be more into things like Telegram. | |
| Telegram I use for some people. | |
| By the way, I found out that all of my friends, all my European friends use WhatsApp. | |
| WhatsApp is a great... | |
| Oh, WhatsApp! | |
| Mrs. L and I use it to speak to each other. | |
| I can talk to her on the phone and can actually hear her clear on WhatsApp. | |
| Than on the regular carrier that we have. | |
| Okay, I'm looking here for news, Trump. | |
| How about this? | |
| I'm looking at X now. | |
| I don't see what it is. | |
| Well, we're going to go to our graves today, not knowing specifically what about Trump's tweet or post. | |

Fascinated By Harry
00:08:06
|
|
| I still don't know. | |
| I don't think Carney legitimately won in Canada. | |
| Well, there you go. | |
| That's their problem. | |
| And I swear to God, I don't know what their particular predisposition is to self-destruction, but that's their problem. | |
| I hear a Carney. | |
| I always think of Art Carney, the great Ed Norton. | |
| So when we're talking about that, moving on down the line, I wish you... | |
| Folks had more of an interest in the royal family. | |
| Because I am fascinated by it. | |
| Fascinated by Harry. | |
| The royal rumble. | |
| King Charles' reaction revealed after Harry lashes out after losing security appeal. | |
| As Prince says, the monarch won't speak to him. | |
| This is the greatest thing. | |
| This is fantastic. | |
| AOC heckled by hysterical protesters shouting about Gaza genocide. | |
| Quote, unquote. | |
| Quote, unquote. | |
| They're saying that there is no genocide. | |
| Remember, pick the people you want to talk to regarding them. | |
| Most people have absolutely no interest whatsoever in this subject matter. | |
| I know two others. | |
| I was watching yesterday some great stuff about General McGregor and the great Judge Napolitano and Scott Ritter. | |
| Everybody talking about Ukraine, I realize nothing that they are saying, nothing in any way is of any interest to anybody here in the United States. | |
| Nobody. | |
| Nobody. | |
| They don't care. | |
| I have a friend of mine who I listen to him and if I told him I said, do you even know, are you aware of the allegations that are being made? | |
| Allegations regarding genocide. | |
| I think you see the car activity in the background. | |
| I said, are you aware of the allegations that are made regarding the subject matter of genocide? | |
| That's ridiculous. | |
| I said, are you aware of the allegations? | |
| Are you aware of what they're saying? | |
| Are you aware of what they are claiming? | |
| I said, so how do you think they're ridiculous? | |
| How? | |
| How are you saying they're ridiculous? | |
| Do you know what the ICC... | |
| Ah, who cares? | |
| So you just don't care about it. | |
| See, that's the thing which I find fascinating. | |
| Dispute something. | |
| Counter something. | |
| Say it's not true, but just don't say... | |
| I don't care about it and have that somehow transfer into an answer. | |
| I don't care is not an answer. | |
| You do realize that, right? | |
| It's fascinating to me. | |
| So, that's that. | |
| I think the president after 100 days is great. | |
| Where's Elon? | |
| Do you miss Elon? | |
| Do you miss him? | |
| Do you see where they're talking about now? | |
| Authorizing the payment now to Ashley Babbitt's family. | |
| Don't you see that? | |
| Now let me ask you quickly. | |
| I've got my pad of paper out. | |
| This is a thing called show prep. | |
| This is a term which I hate. | |
| And I have my bag here and I've got my notes. | |
| And I'm going to ask you, and I want you to be my show producer right now. | |
| Give me the top three stories you believe are the most critical. | |
| Top three stories. | |
| I'm going to talk about the necromancy, if you will, on the subway. | |
| And Albert Fish, I'm going to be doing, you know, I do a private subscription kind of thing where I can talk about. | |
| Because, you know, everything that I want to talk about right now, I talk about in AM, but I can't mention it here. | |
| So what is the big subject here? | |
| Cuba is failing. | |
| I want you to think of, you're my producer, and I'm asking you, what are the top three topics that Americans find fascinating? | |
| Not arcane and recondite subjects you find fascinating, but tell me what people find fascinating. | |
| Pakistan and India. | |
| Nope, that's not going to work. | |
| People don't care about that. | |
| Pope Trump? | |
| Okay. | |
| Come on, Laurie. | |
| Let's get with the program. | |
| What is the big subject right now? | |
| Necromancy is too disgusting to talk about. | |
| Necromancy, by the way, is talking to the dead. | |
| You're talking about necrophilia. | |
| That's a different story. | |
| Necromancy. | |
| Now, if there is a story that is gripping the entire world involving having one's way with a corpse on a train, am I supposed to ignore it? | |
| Is that what I'm supposed to do? | |
| Am I supposed to ignore it because it's gross? | |
| Come on. | |
| I'm waiting. | |
| Let's go. | |
| Thank you, Kimberly. | |
| Kimberly Kennedy, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| What's the story? | |
| Come on, let's go. | |
| Top three that people will be absolutely thrilled about. | |
| Conspiracies are fact while evolution is still theory. | |
| Evolution is not a theory. | |
| Evolution is a fact. | |
| And that's a very good one. | |
| It's a fact versus theory. | |
| You do know that gravity is a fact, but the theories behind gravity, they didn't know if there were... | |
| Was it the Newtonian model? | |
| Was it the Einsteinian model? | |
| But while they debated about gravity, who was it? | |
| Somebody said the apples didn't... | |
| Suspend in air. | |
| Evolution is a fact in some cases, though I'm thinking that there may be something to it. | |
| There are other folks who were suggesting that this burst of development was so great that evolutionary models don't explain. | |
| So that's very good. | |
| You kind of got that monkey look. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| Remember, we need better trolls here. | |
| That ain't gonna work. | |
| But I appreciate it. | |
| It's cute. | |
| Okay, evolution. | |
| What else is there? | |
| Come on. | |
| Do you think people are still tired or tired at all about the notion of Epstein? | |
| Do you think people are... | |
| Because I'm not even close to that yet. | |
| I could talk about Epstein all the time. | |
| Royals and Harry lost in his appeal. | |
| I think Epstein is still critical. | |
| I think that... | |
| That's one of those things that we are forever going to be. | |
| Let me turn, how's the music? | |
| There we go, that's the speaker. | |
| Evolution is right, but all of it isn't as far as Adam and Eve. | |
| I don't know what that means. | |
| Does anybody here believe in Adam and Eve? | |
| I know it's a stupid question. | |
| Do you actually believe in two people, Adam and Eve? | |
| That's a great question. | |
|
Voir Dire Dilemmas
00:01:54
|
|
| Do you believe in Adam, two people? | |
| Adam and Eve. | |
| Oh, jury selection of Diddy. | |
| That's good. | |
| Jury selection Diddy. | |
| Okay, Diddy. | |
| Ooh, you know what? | |
| That's a whole thing about voir dire. | |
| That's very good. | |
| I think that might be good. | |
| Does anybody believe? | |
| Come on, Justin. | |
| Get with the program. | |
| Does anybody believe there were two people? | |
| Adam and then Eve. | |
| Anybody? | |
| Anybody at all? | |
| Okay, my friends. | |
| Well, listen. | |
| Did Shakespeare write the mainstream? | |
| You have Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. | |
| I know, Adam and Steve. | |
| You know that's the oldest reference in the book. | |
| In any event, I'm starting. | |
| You hear this right now? | |
