| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
36. 12:36 in the morning.
Friday morning.
This is my TGIF, ladies and gentlemen.
And I'm going to tell you right now, the story is Elon and Donald and a couple of things I want to bring to your attention.
Bullshit!
It doesn't matter.
Elon's in a huff.
He might be on the ketamine again.
His brain chemistry may be different.
He may be weird.
I don't know.
It's a work.
Let it go.
Oh, my God.
Let it go.
Let it go.
It is a work.
And I'm supposed to, like everybody else, tell you about how this is so important.
It's nothing.
I know that seems to be contraindicated when it comes to this because everybody's supposed to make a big deal on it.
Oh, this is the end of the world because people feel this obligatory sense of, I must be talking about this.
I must talk about this.
I have to talk about this.
It doesn't matter.
Trump loves this stuff.
It'll be forgotten before you know it.
Nobody cares.
Let it go.
Who?
Nobody cares.
Nobody.
I know that's contraindicated.
I know that is not what you want to hear.
I know that's not what you're told.
You're told this is the end of the world.
It doesn't matter.
For the love of God, take it easy.
What are we talking about?
Let me explain something to you.
I don't want to keep bringing up professional wrestling, but I'm going to do it over and over and over and over again.
This is something which is so critical.
This is something which does not have any relevance in the real world unless you understand something.
And that is simply this.
Everything that we do, everything in the world of this is for money and getting your attention.
It doesn't matter.
Whether it was because of the EV thing, whether it's the big ugly bill, for him to bring up Trump was on the Epstein files.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Bringing up the Epstein thing?
The Epstein thing?
Nobody cares about the Epstein thing.
Oh, absolutely.
Oh, I trust him 100%.
Do you really trust him 100%?
Oh, yes, because people, we have children who are into fan clubs.
And they love to think of Elon as their boyfriend or who's your favorite Beatle.
It's fodder for the Dems.
Let me read some of your interesting things.
It's fodder for the Dems.
No, it's not.
The Dems are irrelevant.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you, Beijing Yankee 5x5.
Elon wants to make up already.
Of course he does.
I think he might be on a binge.
He might be.
Remember how he acted with his baby mama?
It doesn't matter.
Trump's playing it so cool.
Like, well, you know, it's that EV thing.
And I told you, it's wrestling.
It's a work.
They're talking about him.
He's a weird guy.
I'll tell you who's even weirder is this Dan Bongino.
I'll tell you who was another...
Loved your Colonel McGregor interview.
Wasn't he fantastic?
Absolutely fantastic.
He's on the spectrum.
Get my juice from Lionel playing violin on the poop deck of the Titanic.
Only Bannon wants him deported.
Bannon's full of shit.
Everybody's full of shit.
I'll tell you who makes the most.
Even, even, look.
Laura Loomer, who I think is terrific, she loves him.
This is what I'm promising you.
This is what I'm promising you.
You ready for this?
I will tell you the truth, and what I will do is, I will tell you, for example, you know, you're my friend.
You're my friend.
But recently, you acted like an asshole.
I don't recognize you.
What are you doing?
You're not my friend anymore?
Of course I'm your friend.
It's like I'm everybody's parent.
It's like, what are you acting like?
President Trump does something.
Sometimes he does something.
He's done some weird things in the world.
I'm not going to lose them.
Hey, look what his freedom says.
Honestly, Lionel, what the heck happened?
Is Trump going to fire Elon?
I'm watching my Dodger baseball and riding my minibikes.
Retired, 70 years old, I'm sure Elon will be fine.
He is filthy rich.
What does that mean, being fine?
Thank you, Freedom.
What does it mean, being fine?
He's not going to die because of this.
Do you understand, Freedom, that this isn't about money?
It's about this.
Not money.
This.
It's my favorite joke.
Elon Musk is an egomaniac.
Elon Musk is somebody who was...
Do you know what his infrastructure is?
He hires, he may have 50 kids.
Who knows how many kids?
Women, he's everything.
They say he's on the spectrum.
What does that mean?
What do you think normal is?
Einstein was out of his mind.
Everybody was out of their mind.
Relax, take it easy.
This isn't a story.
The story is what's going on in Ukraine.
The story is what we're learning about Palantir.
Have you heard about that one?
About the Lavender project?
Using AI to target?
What's going on is beyond anything.
Anything that you can imagine.
Listen to what is happening regarding Ukraine.
Putin is going to unleash a ration of shit, the likes of which they are saying it.
And in Russia, you've got to watch different people.
You've got to watch Pepe Escobar.
Watch my good friend Judge Napolitano.
Scott Ritter.
Just go down the list.
Larry Johnson, Douglas McGregor.
You're not going to hear these people on Fox News.
You're not going to hear them on Fox News because they bring a perspective that you cannot believe.
I want to hear the truth.
They're going to whack Zelensky.
They're going to whack him.
And the guy who needs to be reeled in, if not sat down and scared the hell out of him, is...
Is...
Is...
Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham.
Remember something, too.
Whenever somebody wears a lapel pin, whenever somebody wears a lapel pin, it means, I do not understand this.
I've picked a side.
The American flag lapel pin means, I don't know what I'm talking about.
I've got to wear a lapel pin.
I don't understand wearing religious symbols.
I will never understand, unless you're a priest, wearing a crucifix.
But it's a free country.
Why are you doing that?
It's a symbol.
You're not wearing it for yourself.
You wear lapel pins for a symbol.
It tells somebody.
It tells somebody who you are.
Not you.
Now, I like when people wear a medallion in their shirt.
Anytime you wear something outside, it's like that time, who was it?
Hannity had like the CIA, a CIA lapel pit.
What are you doing, the CIA?
Do you not know anything about American history?
So what I'm going to tell you is this.
This doesn't matter.
Pay attention to this one.
They're going to unleash holy shit on on on And Fox News and these others are complicit in this.
You don't know how I get it.
He said something about Fox News.
Fox News is a joke.
It is an absolute joke.
It's for little kids.
Fox News is to news.
What...
Um...
It's for people who don't have time to really follow the news.
Tell me what I want to hear.
It is called narrow casting.
It is not about the news.
The news is like a Mandelbrot fractal.
It means diving deep into it, going to the interconnectivity.
The people who said, let's go beyond this, beyond this.
Beyond the electrodes.
Is it quarks?
Is it this?
Is it that?
What is it?
What is this about?
Keep going.
There's no depth.
When they bring out typhoid, you know things are bad.
Those you don't know their name, Larry Fink, DJT, everyone else, we can't know the real players.
All I'm absolutely certain of is money is everything.
They should have learned by now.
It's not money, it's power.
Ryan says, why is Musk picking this fight?
Doesn't he know how awful this looks to the opposition?
How does this end?
There is no opposition.
What difference does it make?
The worst thing to do is to be ignored.
This is not about money, it's about power.
It's about power.
Do you know what this, what Palantir is, Lavender program?
It is the most important issue there is, and I'm wasting my time.
I have to always put it this way.
Not with you, mind you, but I feel like I'm walking into a classroom, and I'm trying to conduct a fire drill.
And I have these little children, and I don't want to scare them, but I want to tell them the truth.
I want to say, listen, this is what we have to understand.
This is what it's about.
It's not about money.
It's at a level.
Whatever you do, I will not be ignored.
Lionel, did you think the same way about media back in your IATA days as you do now?
Oh, no, no, no.
That was a different time then.
This is when the internet, that was when the internet was just It was aborning.
Oh, absolutely not.
I'm changing constantly.
I am changing constantly.
Let me ask you something.
What is my goal here?
One word.
What is my goal of this?
What is my goal here?
Somebody writes, nationalized gambling.
What does that have to do with me?
What does that mean?
Fox News is red dye number three.
Fox News is processed food.
But what is my goal?
Warm-ups, 86, I change myself.
I work with Palantir in the Department of Defense.
That contract has been there since 2018.
Not the contract, what Palantir's doing.
Microsoft has been there for a long time, but what Microsoft is doing now is a different story.
Doesn't matter.
What is it?
There was a time when Napolitano was never off Fox News.
Yes.
Until something happened.
And I don't know what it is.
I don't know how it happened, but I think he's one of the best minds there is.
Rescind the Smith-Munt Act.
The Smith-Munt Act is the most overrated, misunderstood...
Please subscribe to my newsletter.
I did a piece on the Smith-Munt Act.
It's not what you think.
You've never read the Smith-Munt Act and Obama didn't do what you think it was.
It's not it.
But we love to say this.
Chinese weapons system sales booming since the tariffs.
Maybe.
This is an online college classroom.
Thank you!
Is this the real lineup or the AI lineup?
I do not know that.
But my job is simply this.
First and foremost, my job is, number one, to get numbers.
Number one.
That's it.
Number one is to get numbers.
That's the only metric that counts.
Without numbers, What you're saying is the truth.
Yeah, but you've got to speak the truth.
No, get the numbers first, then speak the truth.
If you don't get the numbers, you're wasting your time.
If you don't win the election, if you don't get the numbers, that's it.
Period.
Now the question is, well, how do you do it?
You've got to figure out what you're good at.
You've got to figure out what are you trying to sell.
What are you trying to sell?
What's the competition?
Lately, I've been looking at overnights It's a different mindset.
And I'm hearkening back to, say, what do I want to be?
I think I'd rather be one of a kind, sui generis, an Art Bell than the next, you know, I don't know who.
I'm trying to get somebody out there.
Charlie Kirk.
We don't need another Charlie Kirk.
But who's different?
Alex Jones, Steve Bannon.
You have to always triangulate the news.
You're never going to be able to understand.
I know people who are adamant, adamant.
How do I say this?
How do I say this?
They love these things of...
They love this sense of pretending to speak the truth, but what they're doing is they're getting numbers.
And like I said before, by the way, I think it's more fun I love throwing in a gratuitous French word.
I love to tell people, first of all, don't worry.
It's not what you think.
It's about psychology.
Everybody who's ever done this sounds exactly alike.
I want to be completely different.
And if you want to understand something, you have to triangulate.
You have to understand what the other people feel.
I guarantee you.
The worst thing, if you want to read about Israel, you want to read Jerusalem Post, great.
Read Haaretz, too.
Read the ICJ or ICC indictment if you don't know what's going on.
Read the enemies.
Triangulate.
Know what's going here, know what's going there.
Listen to what the enemy is saying.
That's all.
So anyway, dear friends, this is terrific.
I want to thank you for being a part of this.
Thank you for being so great and sweet and wonderful.
This is my Friday.
This is it.
It is my Friday.
It's Friday, but I'm saying this is it.
This is it for me.
So I'm kind of in a weird mood.
I love leaving here.
I love the idea of Friday, kind of the end of the week, but my week doesn't end.
Please watch my piece with Colonel McGregor.
It is one of the best ever.
He is fantastic.
Two great minds meeting together.
It's wonderful.
