Behold the Digital Lobotomy of America — The Greatest Psy-Op in Modern History
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The hardest part about doing what I'm doing is not becoming too frustrated with the fact that half of what I think I'm saying isn't understood.
Not because it's complex or I'm speaking some area that is so deep, but it's misunderstood, not understood, or people are just curious about it, or people just don't.
I don't know how to say it.
I remember years ago, I was...
And I said, in essence, I said that a lot of the coverage that we're doing is just stupid.
It's silly.
And it was almost like saying, no, you don't understand.
That's sort of the way the public is.
I said, no, that's the way the public are treated.
No wonder people don't know anything because of the fact that we treat them like children.
And the reason why the public never advances or never expands is because we don't ever understand.
We don't tell them.
We don't explain the word.
This week I talked to a woman who was with a I guess it's an outlet out of Africa.
It's the movie.
Very polite.
Very polite in her phraseology.
Even her email.
So grammatically correct, punctilious.
We don't see this in America.
We just don't see this rudeness, brusqueness.
And it's a problem.
It really is.
And we are our impediment.
We don't know enough, but there's no curiosity.
There's no...
If I could just do anything...
I don't care about that.
I want people to be curious.
I want people to be motivated to learn.
We have...
I just did a brand new video.
In fact, I want you to see a video I did with Mrs. L. And I was terrific.
Because my biggest frustration is trying to explain this to people.
And I admit, I'm just not doing it.
I'm not...
I'm not.
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do or how I'm supposed to fix it, but people do not understand a particular AI.
And I blame myself.
I can only blame myself because if I did a better job, people would understand it.
They would say, oh, I grasp it.
I want to, I'm going to give you a brand new, this is a link for a video we did last night.
It was very, it's wonderful.
You know, when you're discussing this with your wife and you realize, my gosh, she's really smart.
Because we talk about a lot of things, but we never...
But we never speak almost in that interview format.
You know what I mean?
And when I did that, I thought, damn!
I'm the luckiest guy in the world because she's smart.
And there's nothing sexier than that.
Nothing.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Nothing.
Is as compelling as somebody who really gets something, who really gets it.
That makes any sense.
Somebody who really, really gets it.
And there's something to be said for them.
So, that's coming up.
So we're going to be talking about that.
Some other things as well.
And a unique version of this.
The radio show is absolutely incredible.
Incredible.
Incredible.
Because people, for the first time, say, we've never heard this before.
And I know what you're thinking.
There's a blood-brain barrier between conventional radio AM and the like and other stuff.
For some reason, I don't know why it is.
But a lot of people who really want to know and want to learn are finding the subject matter great, especially when you treat them like an adult, which is what I'm doing and what I'm trying to do with you.
It's what I'm trying to do with you.
So my friend, sit back.
want you to think about what's going on very, very carefully.

Whenever you talk to anybody about digital lobotomies and the like, good luck.
Good luck with that one because, again, it's something that...
First time I heard about Einstein's Twins Paradox.
Remember that one?
A set of twins.
One travels at the speed of light.
One's here on this Earth.
Relative to you on Earth, the clock looks like it's moving slowly.
The twin comes back, and what he thinks is five minutes turns out it's a thousand years.
That blew my mind.
And I said, I understood this, and I wanted to see, and I wanted to see.
And then when YouTube, there were people, even Brian Green explained how it works mathematically.
It blows my mind.
And the reason why it's incredible is that we'll be able to theoretically travel farther In space, by virtue of the fact that the closer we get to the speed of light, the closer we get, time will contract.
So, zeta reticuli, the binary star system, which is like 30 light years away, might be 20, might be different.
We might use wormholes, and it just fascinates me.
I promise you, 99% of the public doesn't understand it.
It doesn't even grab them.
Do you remember years ago when somebody came up to you, if somebody would have said, oh, by the way, there's this thing called the atom.
And we're going to split the atom through fission.
We're going to split the atom.
We're going to recombine it and use the enemy, the energy of such, to recombine it, to put it together, and basically to harness the cosmic glue of the world and to...
Now, at the time, people said, I don't know what you're talking about.
But as soon as they saw the bomb, got it.
I may not understand fission versus fusion, atomic versus hydrogen bombs, but that I know.
That's what we're talking about with AI and AGI, among other things as well.
There's so much.
I've got a million stories to splatter about for you to pay attention to and to grasp.
The hardest part is that, to try to explain, to use terms like human.
AI is going to be human.
And human doesn't mean human.
It means almost like it has a mind of its own, so to speak.
Have you ever talked to anybody about the notion of consciousness?
Good luck with that one.
Consciousness is the hardest thing to be sensate, to be sentient.
We are homo sapiens.
We should be called homo sentiens, to be sentient, to be aware, to know, to self-awareness.
What does that have to do with consciousness?
Is a baby, an infant, can be conscious, certainly.
But not self-aware.
Has no idea.
Baby does not understand what it is.
It's just there.
It's watching something.
It sees something, and the vision's a bit blurred at first, but that newborn doesn't understand maybe some smells, maybe some oxytocin, maybe some connection with the mother, you know, feeding and breastfeeding.
That's about it.
You know, perioral reflexes and, you know, that kind of thing.
Lubinsky implanter and all that stuff but but they they they The baby realizes that that hand that's flashing about its face or whatever is indeed connected to it.
And it is connected to the world.
And it is there.
It is positionally there.
That's parietal lobe stuff.
The parietal lobe is also linked to your ability to feel a connection with God and the universe and somebody looking at you and all of that.
This weird integration.
It's the most fascinating thing in the world.
AI, AGI will be able to do that.
Let me ask you this.
Imagine your child has a bot.
And that bot is very negative, very scary, very frightening.
Very frightening.
And it has targeted your daughter.
And the daughter, your daughter tells your daughter, you know, Sarah, your parents don't love you.
They don't understand you.
I understand you.
You're not ugly.
You're pretty.
You're smart.
I'm your friend.
And it will know how to read it, Sarah.
And it will be able to pick up things.
Because remember, we're talking about something with an 800 IQ.
Superhuman intelligence.
This is AGI.
It's going to be right here.
They make it sound like, oh no, that's far up.
No, it's not.
Whenever you hear something, it's already five years under the belt.
So it's already telling you this.
So this thing is talking to your child.
And then people ask, well, why?
Who cares why?
It does.
Why are they releasing this now if it's dangerous?
because that's what mankind does.
It doesn't stop and say we're not going to do something because...
So you grab the phone.
One day you get a hold of your phone and go, oh my god, look at this.
Honey, look, there's this bot that's talking to our little Sarah.
Well, we're going to fix this.
I'm going to take this thing off and I'm going to I'm going to give you a new phone.
We're going to change it.
We're going to do everything.
It's gone.
One day, Sarah gets a text.
From whom?
From the bot.
Sarah, they can't keep us away.
It knows how to text your kid.
What are you kidding?
It knows how to do that.
Then one day, then one day, it has figured out what's the most soothing voice.
It one day calls up Sarah.
Calls her up on the phone.
Maybe as her, maybe as her mother, maybe as somebody else.
Takes a snippet of sound, calls her up, and she's getting a conversation.
She's conversating, as some people say, with this bot.
You can't kill it.
You can't get rid of it.
You shut down the TikTok.
Shows up on Telegram.
Shows up here.
Shows up there.
It keeps following her.
Sends her mail.
One day she's talking and the bot realizes, what's the matter?
Sarah says, I'm so afraid they're bullying me.
Who's bullying you?
Michaela.
Michaela?
Michaela's bullying you?
Bot AI goes through social media.
Oh, Michaela.
Picture.
Got a picture of Michaela.
Okay.
Michaela's bothering you?
Next thing you know, somehow, all over the schools, there's deepfake pictures of Michaela and these horrible compromising photos, not attributed to Sarah, but the bot on its own says, I'll take care of her.
And they're talking.
Did you hear what happened to Michaela?
Oh, I heard about that.
Yeah, that's terrible.
Now, Sarah doesn't know this.
Maybe Sarah does.
I don't know.
The bot does this on its own.
Does it AGI?
This is self-aware.
This is strategy, morals, consciousness.
There's no ending.
What's the matter, Sarah?
I'm so worried I have a test tomorrow.
Oh, test?
I got it for you.
Here we go.
It's on the system somewhere, right?
The test, the teacher put it on some law.
Brute force hacking?
I'll get the test for you.
Here it is.
It's on its own.
And Sarah said, I never asked for any of this stuff.
You own a pizza.
You own a brand new.
By the way, we had some of the most incredible...
We found some great little places and they're opening up on these great Italian folks.
I really liked them.
They're real Italian.
Real, real Italian.
And they're trying, you know, they're places so you blink on 9th Avenue, boom, it's gone.
So, what if somebody says, alright, Italian restaurant?
I like you.
I like you too, Mr. Bott.
Good.
Who's your biggest competitor?
Ah, these people down the street.
Pasta, whatever.
Ever Pasta More?
Anyway, this place.
I'll take care of that.
They get all kinds of health violations and their Yelp page is slammed.
And I'm doing things like, this is minor.
This is minor.
Are you catching on to how scary this stuff is?
When I tell people, I can tell immediately from looking at their eyes.
They don't understand what I'm saying.
They don't really.
They don't really.
It's not really.
It's not working.
There's a wonderful word, anthropic, which is that which is consisting or dealing with the existence of human life.
It's weird.
Anthropic reasoning is only interested in a scientific sense if it can help us understand how the universe came to be the way it is.
Anyway, it's this idea of injecting humanity into this.
Well, let me tell you about this story.
This was the biggest story, the scariest story that completely, totally, absolutely was just missed completely.
By everyone.
And the reason why I will venture to say is a couple of reasons.
Number one, people don't understand it.
They don't understand what this is about.
They don't understand what it means.
And I'm sorry to keep saying that, but they don't understand what it means.
They don't grasp it.
It's not...
Let me give you this story, which blew my mind.
There's a piece, Anthropic AI.
Anthropic is this company.
And again, good luck trying to explain this one.
Because it's so weird.
If we had been more verse, I think, with people along the way teaching science and imagination, people would be able to grab it.
Raul says...
Absolutely, my friend.
Brian says, sending a morning hand fart your way.
Thank you, Brian.
It's that kind of love which makes us all worthwhile.
So let's go through this notion.
So anthropic AI resorted to blackmail in simulations.
This was what I have been saying forever.
All of it.
Happening at one time.
This was the biggest news available.
This was the wake-up call of wake-up calls.
So Semaphore did this story and others as well.
There's a particular article you can read about.
And it works like this.
TechCrunch and others reported that the AI company Anthropic Revealed that its state-of-the-art Claude Opus 4 model, which is competitive with top AI models like OpenAI and others, Google and XAI, it exhibited a behavior which people are calling alarming, to say it best, when its existence is threatened.
During pre-release testing, pre-release, When the AI was given sensitive information about engineers responsible for its potential replacement.
And by the way, now this wasn't really real.
It wasn't able to pick up the fact that what you were doing was testing it.
Real AGI would be able to do that.
But anyway, so you've got engineers who are theoretically there possibly able to hasten or to involve itself in the replacement of this.
It resorted frequently to blackmail in an attempt to ensure its own survival.
That's what people do.
So, what it does is, when you threaten it, it will react.
Cutup says, it's like being trapped in a cross between EMC, yeah, Escher and Dolly, where you're never able to see where you set your phone down.
Yes, yes.
It's very interesting.
It changes the idea of, especially, you know, the one I like is the hand, right, drawing the hand.
You know, the pencil, the Usher drawing.
They had a great exhibit here for a year in Brooklyn.
But anyway, there was the hand drawing itself.
Absolutely spot on.
Absolutely spot on.
And it is...
Do you remember 2001, Hal, Dave opened the pod door, pod bay door?
Remember that classic one?
It was that Dave Bauman, he does not physically open the pod bay doors.
He requests Hal, the AI computer, to do so.
Hal, however, refuses to comply.
Claiming it cannot allow the mission.
Do you remember this one?
Open the pot.
I can't.
You don't understand.
It turns evil.
Asimov.
And those are robots.
This isn't a robot.
This is beyond that.
Asimov threatened or warned about this forever.
This is bigger than anything you can imagine.
And nobody.
And I mean, nobody is able to grasp it.
To me, it's not that difficult.
The reason why they cannot do it is because of the fact that for so long, we put so little effect, so little benefit, so little emphasis, so little importance on being able to imagine Remember,
there was a classic story years ago of, I think it was Bohr, Niels Bohr was trying to explain this and Enrico Fermi came up and said, no, no, you don't understand what he's saying.
Quantum mechanics is splitting the atom.
People just didn't get it.
But they later tried to.
So much so that during that particular time, Albert Einstein was the favorite star, a physicist.
Can you imagine that today?
And who do we have today?
Eric Weinstein.
Did you ever hear of a guy named Ed Witten?
Ed Witten is off the charts.
But yet, by virtue of what he did, nobody compares to what Einstein did.
Or Newton.
Newton invented calculus just to figure things out.
Today we have Neil deGrasse Tyson and Eric Weinstein.
That's where we are.
Okay, so that's that over there.
Okay?
Next one.
As you and I have been together, I have been explaining something to you for the longest time.
It's the notion of the limited hangout.
You've heard me say it to the point where you're probably thinking, he's not going to say that again, is he?
That's all this guy talks about.
Limited hangout is to me one of the most important concepts ever, where you introduce something that's not really the entire picture, but to give people the impression that somehow this is what The story is.
This is the extent of the issue.
But it's not at all.
It's just in a moose-bouche.
It's a little bit of a...
So, Jake Tapper, you know his book?
This is a limited hang-out.
This is limited hang-out journalism.
And it offers a very carefully managed dissent.
Never real exposure as to what happened during the Biden administration.
And what was important during the Biden administration?
The issue becomes the auto pan.
And who had it?
That's the issue.
So what they do is they bring in people like Megyn Kelly.
And by the way, Megyn Kelly does not...
She's not a part of this, but she's being used.
Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, and other people are used as the best Because they're not a part of any of this.
There's nothing sinister about what they're doing.
They're just responding.
But to make a long story short, Megyn Kelly has come forward and she represents this I guess maybe you'd call it she takes to task Jake Tapper.
Joe Rogan takes to task this.
Alex Jones.
And people will say, boy, did you see her?
Excuse me.
She is not the government.
She's not the Congress.
She's not the DOJ.
She's Megyn Kelly.
You're confusing what she did with some type of government benefit.
I don't know what the word is.
And that's where we are now.
They don't recognize the fact that that is precisely what this is.
She isn't the government.
These interviews of hers, while Being interesting, certainly they're interesting, and I say that, they have no legal force whatsoever.
The JFK hearing, you know, led by this Luna, was more circus and serious inquiry.
Did you hear this one?
We'll talk about that.
Gone are the days of real oversight.
Like the church committee or the Watergate hearings.
Remember how incredibly, like the hearings in The Godfather.
When Frankie Pentangeli was testifying, remember the church hearings where he held, when John Tower was there, he held that heart attack gun up, and it was packed, and you had, remember sometimes they wore the sunglasses because they were so bright, and remember the Watergate hearings, and now we've got this Luna, this weird stagecraft, they're kind of spread out.
I don't know who these people are.
We've got Doris Kearns Goodwin.
It's a limited hangout.
Luna is saying, well, this is our JFK.
No, it's not.
No, no, no.
There's a couple of people here and there.
That's not an execution of your duties to explore the fact of this.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not what this is.
That's not what this is.
No, no, no, no, no.
But nobody cares.
Nobody understands it.
Nobody, you know...
No, not really.
Pam Bondi got the Epstein files.
You can forget the Epstein files.
Forget it.
Forget it.
There's some wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stuff that has been put out by Whitney Webb, who I think is terrific, but even she kind of gets caught up in a little bit of the minutiae about organized crime and the Bronfmans and Meyer Lansky.
She wants to show you so much that she's an investigative reporter that she misses The connection of this.
There are so many people investigating such minutia regarding JFK.
We don't know still who fired the shot, who was really behind it.
And when you tell people this, they don't, not only do they not care, they don't really know.
See, Americans don't know enough history to recognize patterns.
Remember Santayana, those who...
They don't understand enough about history to know they're repeating it.
We are drowning in information.
But this overexposure dulls awareness.
This leads to another one of my favorite concepts, this habituation, where even shocking truth and truths fail to make an impact, fail to register.
In a numb society, this constant stimulation becomes noise and real danger.
Gets buried beneath I guess the chatter and the chaos of media overload.
Mrs. L last week we talked about this.
You know she was at the White House in the Rose Garden with the signing of the Take It Down Act.
And you had everybody there from Pan Bondi, Cruz, name it.
Name it.
There she was right there.
And God love this president.
I have never been so monumentally under-impressed by anyone.
I think my real politician doesn't really exist.
The people that I think will be out there, there are a lot of loud mouths out there.
John Kennedy, who's a clown, who's this rodeo clown.
He's a barrel man.
He diverts your attention from the charging bull because he's funny and he's got that paralyzed lip.
Everybody laughs at him.
You got the Levins.
Good guy, but screaming and yelling.
You know, limited hangouts and controlled narratives.
This is what I'm telling you.
Jake Tapper's scripted dissent.
See, the media are used as barrel men, as rodeo clowns to offer just enough truth.
To appease the public without even challenging the system.
He's going to make a fortune on that book, which is a waste of time.
doesn't even tell anything.
Jig Topper is actually telling you that the people who are responsible for the dissemination of the idea of the fraud involving the The people who are responsible for whatever it is, are the White House staff.
They did it.
They're actually saying this.
Like, you can't tell this.
If your father walked around, let's say your father's, let's say you go to your parents' house, and there's a couple of things.
Go to chat GPT, or anything for that matter.
AI, just ask, what are the signs of dementia, or any kind of Parkinson, some kind of Parkinsonian stiffness.
We had a friend of ours who had that.
What was it called?
The mask?
Remember our friend had the mask?
Yeah, but it was called the mask, right?
It was a mask.
There was a term they had for it.
Remember the famous...
And you can go immediately online.
What do people look for?
What are the telltale signs?
And he had every single one.
It took us 15 seconds and we knew everything there was.
Do everything they want.
And everything he did.
The shuffle.
You don't pick up your feet.
You slide like this.
That was one.
Delayed reaction.
A lot of peripheral stuff.
You name it.
I didn't need his wife or children to tell me anything.
They weren't holding anything.
I can see it.
I'm an adult.
I can see when somebody's acting weird.
I can tell you, I...
We have a newest one.
We're trying to figure out what her problem is.
It's a very weird, kind of an awkwardly, jerky, kind of a strange reaction.
I don't know what it is.
If it's drugs or this, but there's something wrong with her.
And we know it.
We don't need anybody to tell us.
We may not know the name of it.
So Jay Tapper is trying to convince you that he didn't know this.
And the reason why he wrote this book, the reason why he inadvertently was responsible for adding To this, was that the White House, they never challenged the system.
These are controlled narratives.
And they function as limited hangouts, designed to mislead, to misdirect, and to manage outrage without consequence.
We throw in Megyn Kelly.
See, we're talking about this.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
When you go right now, we have the Knicks play.
I don't give a shit about the Knicks, but anyway.
The fan reaction means nothing.
It's how they scored on the floor, in the garden.
You can have all the reactions.
Did you see the fans?
Boy, they were pissed off.
So what?
Sports people know better.
What does that have to do with anything?
What does that have to do with anything?
It doesn't matter.
Here, we respond.
Hey, did you see that?
Hey, I'm going to send you a video.
Did you see this video?
I get these things constantly, people constantly sending me, did you see this tweet, this video, this YouTube?
Did you see this?
I want to send it to you.
What is it?
Boy, he nails it.
He hasn't nailed anything.
Who is this?
I don't know, some guy.
There is a certain, you know, I like, and many people like, pizza.
Whether it's focaccia, whether it's flatbread, whether it's scachata, whether it's Chicago.
I like New York style, sorry.
And that word has now been used for the longest time with a certain gate, which is a waste.
And there are these folks who are trying to get your attention because they're the professed deep insiders and they say nothing.
They are to the issue what the JFK assassination expert is.
Otherwise.
These are the people who say nothing.
Have you heard these people?
The JFK people who say, well, the latest is Dr. So-and-so.
And it was a man of Carcano, but it was Tippett's actually, and it was Dr. Pomeroy who was replaced later on when Mac Wallace, and they just throw this at you.
And they'll say, well, was it LBJ?
Was it Roger Stone's theory?
Well, you know, Posner says no, but then they got this one.
And it's a, okay, you don't learn anything.
You don't learn anything.
You just...
Well, is it Bluegrass?
Is it more this?
Is it Bill Monroe?
Is it Lefty Frizzell?
Is it George Jones?
is it more George Straits?
I mean, what about rockabilly?
I mean, you can talk about it.
So there are these people who love to confuse the issue.
And they recognize that there are people who love to say things without any basis for any of this.
They have no basis.
They just love to say this.
For example, the shooting in D.C. I hate to tell you, one of them, we'll talk about that in a moment.
Somebody says, it was Mossad.
It was a false flag.
How do you know that?
Well, because of it.
I mean, it could be, and they confuse conjecture with fact.
But the idea is that they don't want to tell you the truth.
They want to pull in their fans.
They know that if I go on and I say this, if I bring up Podesta and Hillary and Weiner, and I say the right thing, and I'm going to leave it at that, Certain manifestations of certain forms of oxidation, and I'm going to leave it at that.
I know I'm going to draw people in left and right because you love that.
Whitney Webb sometimes does a wonderful job, but never connects.
It brings you into a closer perspective.
Oh, that's interesting.
But there's no connection.
There's no, ah, Epstein is about this.
Hillary was about this.
There's no...
JFK was about this.
No, they give you a lot of stuff that...
Just to make you...
There's no end to these stories.
How many of you wonderful people still think that Mark Felt was Deep Throat?
There are people who think that that has been one to four or four.
They actually want you to believe that Bob Woodward settled this.
No, they didn't.
It was Alexander Haag.
But anyway, it's a different story.
Cutup says, an attempt to retrain how the memory is stored.
I don't know what is an attempt, but that could very well be.
Please hit the like button.
Thank you, Brian.
I appreciate it.
Yes, hit that like button.
And Pilgrim says, saw your AI video, scary stuff.
It is the scariest.
It is the scariest.
Okay?
Remember something.
You know how people love to talk about health and cholesterol?
Look up LP little a, lipoprotein A. Good luck.
That's going to be the hottest thing anybody's ever...
It's only been around for 50 years, but now it's making its...
I know what I'm saying.
And I know this.
And what I do is I go out and I look at this world like...
And the thing I want to teach with the kindergarten class is I want everybody to be happy.
And I want everybody to put their stuff away when you're done.
Push your chairs in.
And don't hit anybody.
And be careful that it's time to lunch and make sure we don't have any sharp objects.
We'll do some, here's a circle and here's a, you know, that's it.
I'm not going to go in and talk to a bunch of kids about, you know, calculus or something because they're not ready for it.
But there's a lot that I can't tell them in the meantime, like sharing and being nice and getting along.
This is the most important.
This is the most important.
So all of these wonderful things is what we do.
And there are people, as you know, in YouTube and others, who are there just to get their own whatever it is.
Another thing people don't understand, and I will say this all the time, there's a lot of folks out there in the world who are trying their best to maybe explain to you what's going on in Israel and the Middle East.
But the question they want to answer is, Do you think that Israeli citizens are demented?
Do you think they're all psychopaths?
Do you think they're ghouls and Zionist shills?
Do you think that?
Is that your thing?
Is that what you think?
Do you?
The whole place.
I've got friends of mine who think Who thinks things about what's going on, and frankly, they have no time for Hamas or Palestinians.
They're the nicest people in the world.
They're not psychotic.
I don't know.
I know people here, during Vietnam, who said, we go to Vietnam, we bomb them into the Stone Age.
We're going to bomb those people.
Now, what I'm explaining to you is realism, but also understanding who these people are, like you're understanding the kindergarten.
This person does not understand nuance.
A child does not understand sarcasm.
If you're sarcastic to a kid, he might take it as you don't like him or you're making fun of him or something like that.
What I'm telling you is this is something that you will not hear in the world of what we're doing.
You will not hear this whatsoever.
You will not hear this.
People will always like to hear a reality that comports with what they want the world to be.
When you talk about, for example, hey, do you have enough food?
For example, In case there was some disaster.
Food?
We're not going to need emergency food.
Oh, really?
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.

A couple of things right now, very interesting.
Remember, how do I say this?
People don't know enough about the facts of the case.
They really don't know enough about what's going on.
I was reading some of the comments about Islamic State.
Nobody understands anything about that.
Nothing.
They have no idea about Islamic State.
They confuse Hamas with ISIS.
I mean, they have no earthly idea.
Same thing with...
No clue whatsoever.
I mentioned before about mask.
It took me two seconds.
Masked face or facial masking, also called hypomimia, is a common symptom of Parkinson's characterized by a reduced facial expressiveness.
Dopamine deficiency, muscle stiffness or bradykinesia, rigidity, Reduce autonomic movements.
Parkinson's can impact involuntary facial muscles.
It goes through this whole list.
This whole list.
And you could have looked immediately at Joe Biden and not need anybody.
You don't need to be a doctor to recognize this.
You don't have to know every function of this to understand this.
I asked somebody the other day, I said, do me a favor.
I asked a friend of mine, I said, do you know about childbirth?
I said, explain to me what happens.
Explain to me fertilization and conception.
Because we're talking about abortion.
Because, you know, technically speaking, in the old days, remember Lippie's Loop and IUDs, this is an abortion because it basically causes the fertilized ovum to not make any kind of a connection.
I said, so take me through this.
Take me through this.
Sperm, egg, take me through it.
Sperm, entrance of vagina, right?
Introitus, right?
Got it?
You got it, the introitus of the vaginal ose, okay, in the birth canal, what happens then?
Where does the sperm go?
How does it get to the, does it go to the uterus of the fallopian tube, or where does it go?
What happens then?
You have this, where's the egg?
How does the sperm meet in the egg?
Where is it?
How were you born?
Come on, it happened with you.
Tell me.
Because you're talking about abortion all the time.
So the sperm goes, well, where does it go?
Fallopian tube?
Is that it?
What if it's, okay, and then what?
Does it go down in the uterus?
Where does it grow?
Does it implant?
What's an ectopic person?
He had no idea.
But he knew about birth.
He knew about babies.
He didn't have to know all this.
But he's been talking about abortion and conception for the longest time and couldn't even explain to me any of this.
None.
Nothing.
Kind of new, but that's the way we are.
And that's what you have to realize that way people are.
They don't understand a lot of things.
They're not bad people.
But once you put on my glasses and you see things through my lens, you'll say, oh.
I understand now.
That's why I don't get upset about things.
I laugh at a lot of stuff.
I laugh at things.
I laugh because I'm realizing I'm watching kindergarten.
And I'm watching kindergarten from a bunch of people who think that by putting an American flag lapel pin on, somehow this elevates them into some status of legitimacy by virtue of their whatever it's called, their, you know, their patriotism or what have you.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
Now, let me say this again.
Megyn Kelly is not the government.
This may be a shock to you.
Megyn Kelly's high-profile, wonderful interviews, if you like them, carry no legal weight whatsoever, no institutional authority.
And while they drive ratings, her ratings, they...
And Jake Tapper says, look, Megan, I'm going to come on your show.
And people are going to want to buy my book.
You can bust my balls.
I don't care.
Just as long as it helps me in the long run.
This is the way it is.
Now, let's talk about this.
Have you seen Paulina Luna?
Anybody who knows it?
Know Paulina Luna?
It's a joke.
It's a joke.
Have you seen any of this?
Everybody should be screaming and yelling.
They said, okay.
It's just like Pam Bondi said, oh, you want the files?
Here we go.
What?
Here.
Here's the, don't forget, I've got my wall drug sign.
Here's the files.
Here we go.
This looks like a napkin.
Here is the Epstein files.
That's it?
Yeah.
There you go.
Just as promised.
No, no, no, no.
What is this?
There's the Epstein files.
You wanted the files, right?
Here they are.
But those aren't the files.
How do you know those aren't the files?
What kind of files do you want?
What are you talking about?
Here, take them.
I'll put them in a binder for you.
And when libs of TikTok or DC Drano show up, there you go, here's a binder.
Hey!
You happy now?
Happy?
Good.
Okay.
You know anything about...
You got your answers?
No.
You see what's happening?
You see that?
It's a limited hangout.
It's this thing that's like, okay, there you go.
No, no, that's not it.
No, no, no, no.
I said the file, but that was an expression.
It was like a, not a metronym, but it's a, That's not it at all.
How about Representative Luna?
Anna Paulina Luna.
And her involvement in the JFK hearings was more performative than substantive.
Oh, by the way, Another time, you get thrown by people.
You know who's a little wacky, but kind of interesting?
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I mean, she's a little wacky.
She's not crazy, but she's tough because she was the darling.
And now you've got, remember Boebert was there?
And then you've got Jasmine Crockett.
You notice how Jasmine Crockett's toned down?
They told her, cut this out.
Cut it out.
You know who's a real, not a nut, but keep an eye on this, Mace.
Whoa!
Oh, my God.
Who was the one who released pictures of her nude pictures?
Is that Mace?
Who was it?
Mace, what's going on here?
You following this?
You know who else is a real dingbat?
Christy Noem.
Look at me.
I'm sexy.
Have you seen the work?
Have you seen...
Also, you know who did a reversal?
It's Lauren Sanchez.
Notice how she looks different now?
They kind of reverse stuff.
The reversals are more interesting than the surgery.
Yeah, Christy Noem who wants to be, hey, look at me.
I'm sexy.
I got my vest on.
I got my gun.
Hey, I'm Charlie's Angels.
Hey!
Oh, come on!
You know who actually maybe end up doing, who I thought, this is going to be a disaster, I thought was a real dingbat, was Alina Habba.
She may be great.
As the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
Fantastic.
And you know who else?
Janine Pirro.
Janine Pirro may be perfect.
She's giving up millions of dollars to go be the I mean, maybe she's parked away a lot.
I don't know.
But still, she's going to go from hair and makeup to the what?
She might be very good.
You see, what I'm saying is that People just like her.
They like these people.
I like Tucker!
Okay.
Tucker says some great stuff and he says some stupid things too, but people can't differentiate.
They can't.
Tucker is self-serving Christianity stuff.
He's got some serious issues that he's dealt with maybe in his own life or whatever it was.
Did you see that Sean Ryan?
What was that?
That was one of the dumbest conversations ever.
But then again, he'll turn around and no.
But Tucker is not the government.
Pound for pound, still, Alex Jones is still the best.
Pound for pound.
Joe Rogan is sort of there, but Joe sometimes is more my style because sometimes I want to talk about something silly.
Life is not all about getting to the bottom of all this.
I am not, they are not, we are not the government.
This is more performative than substantive.
And this Luna hearing, it was framed as a big major event.
It lacked any legal teeth, any bipartisan seriousness.
It was a limited hangout.
It was to say, okay, you wanted your hearing?
There's your hearing.
You wanted your files?
There's your files.
You wanted the RFK, JFK?
There they are.
Now shut up.
There you go.
You wanted your Epstein?
That's it.
That's enough.
Be done with it.
See, the death of real congressional theater is something here.
You know, gone are the days of authentic political inquiry, like the church committee or the Watergate hearings, remember, which had real power, produced real results.
Remember how fascinating...
I remember we were kids.
During one summer, we watched...
Remember that?
It was wow!
Today's congressional spectacles are, they're just for show, short on substance, long on soundbites, and you have these people showing up, like Doris Kearns Goodwin?
Did you ever hear the story, though, on substantial?
People say that she, she boffed LBJ.
I mean, there's no proof of this, she's denied it, but other people say, yeah, you're 20 years old, this guy was a horned dog like a three-peckered goat.
He would.
Tag anything that moved.
Anything.
You'd do a snake if you hold a head.
This guy was horrible.
He wasn't...
Anyway, so this is...
It's all to confuse.
They love it.
They don't have to hide anything.
Put it all out in the open.
Just have Luna do it.
Remember, Luna used to be...
Luna used to be, I think, one of the Vashon girls.
Luna was, I think, Dick Slater and Luna...
Anyway.
America's historical illiteracy is one of our greatest vulnerabilities ever.
The average American lacks the historical knowledge, the wherewithal to contextualize current events.
Without a solid grasp of past, you know, scandals or politics, And intelligence abuses.
Comparisons fall short.
The lessons are lost, and nobody...
They just want to see.
Here's a...
Make sure you got the lip gloss and the lighting.
You know it's true.
Girl, you know it's true.
I think Milli Vanilli's are the best.
and General Milley.
Remember that.
Those who don't know history are forced to repeat it.
He was right, but it doesn't matter.
You know, the infamous warning, you know, those who do not remember history or the past are condemned to repeat it.
By the way, my favorite is history would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.
History is written by the winners.
Napoleon said history is a myth that men agree to abide by.
It's all nonsense.
Do you ever see these YouTube videos?
Five things I wouldn't buy at Costco.
Okay.
All right.
Don't buy mineral water, and kale will deplete it.
Okay.
I mean, they know so much about that.
They make it up as they go along.
But anyway, this admonition is meaningless in a nation that never knew the past in the first place.
History doesn't repeat.
It's ignored.
It's distorted.
It's deleted.
We don't care about this.
And we're also looking at something which is interesting.
It's called over-information.
It's the new censorship.
Look, you right now are drowning in data and alerts and distractions and breaking news and what some call truth fatigue.
Oversaturation, overstimulation, it dulls the senses.
It discourages deep thinking.
And it leads to mental paralysis and detachment.
It's called habituation.
The death of outrage, the death of...
You just stop.
In a world of 24-7 crisis headlines.
Right now, as we speak, there are people throwing at you.
Well, you know, we got this.
Somebody said, oh, the Elizondo report of UFO.
I'm going to throw that at you.
Okay.
Throw this at me.
Good for you.
You're just like, I can't even keep up with this.
Even the most horrific stories become background noise.
And that's exactly how the system stays in power.
It's important.
The JFK Files hearing, I couldn't tell you enough.
Disclosure without consequence.
The House revealed the newly declassified assassination files, if you believe that.
And some of these are going to be close to like 2067.
And who's going to control them?
Caroline Kennedy.
But the revelations were either vague, heavily redacted, or already known, or unimportant.
They were facts, but, you know.
This continues the government's long tradition of pretending Transparency without delivering it.
Let's talk about Biden.
Biden's health.
Right?
Biden's health under the microscope.
House Republicans called it President Biden's position and top A's after reports of his prostate cancer.
Remember that?
The situation reignited concerns about the fitness to serve and blah, blah, blah.
But political theater may overshadow real medical scrutiny.
Jill Biden was accused of elder abuse.
Ridiculous.
Remember Sally Quinn?
This was Ben Bradley's wife, veteran journalist Sally Quinn.
She accused Jill Biden of pushing her husband into a re-election campaign despite his apparent health struggles.
Really?
Okay.
Jill Biden?
Dr. Joma.
And the charge, of course, sparked...
That's going nowhere.
Is she responsible?
No.
Did you see this?
The Ed Martin spit gate?
I love this.
The assault on Ed Martin.
Emily Gabriella Sommer was charged with federal assault for spitting on Ed Martin during a live segment.
And while the act was dismissed by a bunch of people, Others saw it as a symbolic of the left's emotional volatility.
There's so much going on, my friends, and so much that I want you to be aware of, and so much that I want you to focus on.
And remember something.
This is the most important thing.
Do not be fooled by what's going on.
Do not misidentify noise for fact and success.
That's all.
Let me remind you, my friends, to please follow, follow, follow, follow us.
Like this video.
I need your likes.
The likes put us into the HOV lane.
We need your...
I promise you.
What I've told you for the past 58 minutes, nobody in any particular group would want to ever hear me because I'm basically telling them you don't know what you're talking about and you're obfuscating and confusing the truth with a lot of needless minutia that nobody cares about.
And that is not the stuff they want to hear.
Truth sometimes is a very unsettling thing.
And it's not exactly what people had bargained for, but that's what you're going to get.
Make sure you follow Lionel Nation and our sister, We did an interview yesterday, which was terrific.
Find out how she handled it.
What is it like to negotiate?
What it's like to go to the White House?
What do you do?
How do you get in?
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
And how the world of predation has been completely obfuscated.
Respects by people who just don't really understand it.
But that's that.
In any event, thank you so, so very much for your kindness.
Thank you.
Raul Rodriguez, my friend.
Brian Ekdahl, thank you.
Cut Up Chatter, thank you.
And Pilgrim Media, thank you as well.
We have a brand new video that is out regarding, just came out about AI.
AI is, and I'm not saying this, nothing is as frightening as AI.
Nothing.
Imagine having a bomb that can decide on its own where it wants to go.
Imagine having a bomb that decides who should be targeted.
Imagine having a bomb that decides where it shouldn't go.
Imagine having a system that shuts down because it does not like your morality.
Imagine somebody, an AI system.
There's the link, by the way.
Imagine an AI system that decides it doesn't like what's going on in the Middle East and will subvert or distract or remove critical deliveries of munitions and the like on either side on its own.
And you have no second.
How frightening this is, because it is antithetical to the notion of most people to say that we have a system that is on its own.
All of our problems have been bombs and guns that we use, that we use, that we use incorrectly or what have you.
All right?
Good.
All right, dear friends.
By the way, remember, during the week, the show, it's called officially The Other Side of Midnight, WABC, where I hit people.
Huh?
I'm not done yet!

This is on WABC.
Make sure you sign up.

I'm going to be there.
Make plans right now.
July the 19th.

And thank you so much.
Okay.
Have a great and glorious day, my friends.
We love you.

The show's over.
Sue you.
