Right way, this way.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's see if we're doing this the right way.
Let me go.
Let me check.
You'll let me know.
You'll let me know.
Because that's what you do.
Because you're my buddy.
You'll always let me know what's going on.
You'll always let me know.
Let's see.
YouTube this.
Go to the studio here.
And we go to content here.
And then we go here.
And we go to live.
And let me see.
Oh, we're live.
Let's look.
And we are.
Are we?
Are we okay?
Hey!
There we are.
We're doing it.
Yes!
We are ready to go.
Now we can do this.
Come on.
Let's go, everybody.
Let's move it.
Come on.
Let's go five by five.
Who believes the story?
we got to do this, I just did this now.
Today was like wild, wild, crazy days.
Who believes the...
Who believes this Trump and Musk business?
Who believes it?
Anybody?
Who believes it?
Anybody?
Who believes it?
Come on, tell me.
Who believes it?
Anybody falling for this?
Tell me.
Who believes it?
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Let's go.
Anybody?
Do you?
Do you think that these two people honestly sit there and say, well, we're going to do this and we're going to act like we're going to bitch and moan?
Do you believe it?
Who believes it?
Who believes that Trump and Elon Musk aren't pulling one of the greatest?
That they are loving this.
They are on the phone.
And the left doesn't know what to do.
Now the left is demanding information regarding Epstein.
Trump has nothing to do with Epstein.
Trump has nothing to do with this.
The left is all of a sudden asking, well, let's get to the bottom of Epstein.
Isn't there something?
Who believed this?
Someone said the latest newsletter.
Yes, I hope you're subscribed to the latest newsletter.
Yes, do it right now.
You're right about that.
Oh, I've got, there's so much great stuff.
You've got two people, my friends, the president and our friend Elon, who are absolutely, positively, 100% attention and media whores.
I say that with the best of respect, okay?
They love this.
They milk this.
All of a sudden, the left is following them again.
Nobody cares.
Do you really think this is an issue where they're Elon?
Whether Elon and Trump are fighting?
What difference does that mean?
What is it even about?
What is it about?
Nobody cares.
It doesn't matter.
It's nothing.
They're laughing their ass off.
All they know is they have no agenda.
They spend their entire time basically following.
Now, I put a link right up here for the...
Please sign up.
Go to X also and you can see X or Twitter.
They don't know what they're talking about.
The X...
The X. Guess what?
they're going to send him right back again.
People think that this is some kind of a What are you talking about?
This is beautiful.
Trump is loving this.
Trump loves this beyond anything you can even imagine.
And I know this may sound crazy to you.
I know you may say, well, I don't really believe that.
I really do.
This is professional wrestling.
Already?
Listen, I wouldn't be surprised if Elon's But he's the richest man in the world and can say whatever he wants.
You and I can't do this.
If we act like dicks, we lose our job, people don't respect us.
He can do whatever he wants.
You're hanging on every word.
What about ex?
Are they still girlfriend, boyfriend?
They'll have to say, what about us?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Ask Norm Eisen, how are you doing?
You planning anything?
Nothing.
This is still, what, 9%?
Now listen, understand something.
It's never going to be perfect.
It is never, ever, ever going to be perfect.
But this stuff doesn't matter.
Do you think that the bill is...
There has never been in the history of my life a bill, a...
Nothing.
CR, continuing resolution.
Never been a budget bill.
Never been anything.
Anything.
There's never been anything that people have loved or thought, hey, this is great news.
Hey, this is great.
It's never happened.
There's pork.
There's pork in everything.
What are you talking about?
Of course there's pork, as they say.
Did you just invent this?
Did you just get this name?
Look, look, look, look.
Stop it.
Do me a favor and just stop it.
Just stop it once and for all and recognize the fact that just like with the Diddy trial and this, they're going crazy.
They have nothing.
Now, pay attention to what is going on regarding, and this is some really serious stuff, Elon is Breaking away from, and thank God, he's breaking away from the Teal, that Palantir, Bill Gates, very, very, very serious stuff here.
Very, very serious stuff.
And I want you to pay attention to what's going on.
Peter Teal, Palantir.
How about Lavender?
The Lavender prospect?
Have you seen this?
Lavender.
Peter Teal, I'm reading from my notes.
Peter Teal.
Palantir and Lavender and Israel.
This is AI targeting.
It's called Operation Lavender and it's reportedly a secret or secretive U.S. and Israeli surveillance program allegedly aided by Palantir Technologies designed to identify and preemptively target individuals in Gaza.
based on algorithmic data rather than confirmed militant activity.
Critics argue, my friend, I'm reading my notes, this is my next little letter, critics argue that it represents a dangerous escalation to predictive warfare where AI-driven profiling rather than verified intelligence determines life and death.
The program is set to flag thousands of potential targets using opaque criteria, raising serious human rights and war crimes questions.
If true, this marks a chilling fusion of Silicon Valley tech with military force, where precision is promised, but civilian casualties and moral lines are blurred beyond recognition.
Predictive programming is here.
This is the story.
Read my newsletter today.
They're also talking about the polls changing.
Why do you think all of a sudden, why do you think, believe it or not, Elon is talking about Mars.
They're talking about an escape hatch world.
Trump said also that it's going to get cooler.
And they speak cryptically.
There's so much going on.
You must go out of your way.
To avoid everything that is involved in the left.
But listen to me carefully.
Do not, repeat, do not fall for this nonsense.
Do not fall for this idea that they're bickering or that the past lovers are...
You're smarter than that.
We're smarter than that.
Okay?
I will tell you what the issue is.
The issue is, and you've got to say, You see, just when I like Steve Bannon, he comes and he says he wants to arrest.
He wants to arrest...
Come on, Steve.
He wants to deport him.
Stop it.
Stop it.
But he is saying some things which make a lot of sense.
I do think that Elon was getting a little bit out of control, but so what?
He's a billionaire on our side.
You don't think, you don't think seriously, that Elon knew anything about the EV provision?
Come on.
Stop it!
Don't fall for this.
We're too smart for this.
We're not going to fall for this nonsense.
It's a work.
They're always in the news.
They're playing with you constantly, constantly, constantly.
They're playing with you constantly.
They love it.
They're attention whores.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Tell me you understand this.
Tell me.
Tell me.
Don't spend a lot of time.
All I know is instead of the left...
They're talking about this.
Throw them off.
Trump is doing it.
Which is true.
Have you ever been to the White House?
The East Room is like, eh.
There's nothing there.
So listen to what's going on.
Deep down inside, you don't care.
Somebody says they are hoe hags or bags.
Who is a hoe?
Who is a hoe?
Who is this?
Who do you think?
Seriously.
Explain to me.
Who is a hoe bag?
Who?
What does this mean?
Stop thinking like a child.
We are at levels of involvement and levels of participation in the government that you have never seen before.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
No, I know Trump and Elon.
What do you mean they are whole?
What kind of a childish response is that?
Who cares?
What does that mean?
Do you care about President Trump's or Elon's sexual manifestations, proclivities, propensities?
Do you believe this?
Do you believe this?
What?
Did you think Edison or Carnegie or Cornelius Vanderbilt, the captains of industry?
We have gotten into this sophomoric world of I like him and I don't like him and he's my boyfriend.
What are we talking about?
By the way, I hope you saw the walkabout today.
We went up the Hudson River, a little bit up to about 68, 60, whatever.
Kind of walked around.
Saw some funky parts.
Hope you saw that.
Hope you catch the early morning.
Hope you're watching on WABC.
Hope you fill in that app.
Today I spent four hours.
I didn't mention Elon one time.
Nobody cares about it.
Nobody cares about Elon Musk.
Nobody cares about Elon Musk.
This isn't important.
And they're proving the point by laughing their ass off, saying, look at what's happening.
Look at what we are seeing.
Look at what we are believing.
Look at what people are actually falling for.
This was it.
This was it.
Pilgrim says, Happy Friday, Lionel.
Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you, Pilgrim.
Thank you, dear friend.
There's no Pilgrim.
Bless his heart.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate that immensely.
By the way, if you subscribe, To Lionel Nation, you will be notified when we're live, like you were now.
Everybody here was notified when we went live.
So that's the way that goes.
Okay?
Okay.
By the way, I hope you're watching the Judge, excuse me, the Colonel McGregor piece.
It was incredible.
It is still incredible.
People are going crazy.
Look at this.
Ingrid says, I appreciate you.
Thank you.
And thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for appreciating me.
This is a lot of work and a lot of love that goes into this.
And your contributions, it's enlightening.
I would love to do nothing but this all the time.
We're not up to milk.
You don't see them like I do.
They only see numbers when they break what I can do.
I mean, right now, right now, as of...
But as of right now, we are 296,689.
So we're closing in on 300,000.
300,000 would be really, really, really great.
It would be terrific.
So that's why you're being a part of this.
And the subscriptions, the subs mean everything to people.
Subs and the like, that's all they care about.
I don't understand why.
We also need to do more interviews with some people.
I love McGregor so much.
I would love to get a hold of Mearsheimer.
But I think our good friend Judge Napolitano is wearing him out.
Don't you think?
My God.
Say, Judge, leave something for us.
Sloppy, suck it.
Just kidding.
I love Judge Knapp.
I love him.
Hey, do you watch him as much as I do?
Do you watch Judge Knapp?
Who watches Knapp?
Who's a Knapp fan?
Who?
Who is it?
Who what?
Who loves Knapp?
Oh, a Tim Pooled interview?
Wow, he couldn't handle that.
I mean, I started to argue.
There's no debate.
It'd be interesting to talk about stuff.
You'd probably agree.
I'll wear a wool cap.
Who watches?
Have you noticed something about Judge Snap?
He's wearing tie.
It's like, I don't think he's there anymore.
It's like he does his things from...
He always wears a tie now.
What's going on here?
Is he still there?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Has anybody...
I don't give a shit one way or the other.
And I think it's a green screen.
It's very interesting.
I don't know.
I do not know.
I do not know.
We are the...
And they are the...
Don't know what this means.
God bless you.
You realize what's so great about you.
Most of the stuff that you write has no...
In any event.
So, that's going on.
What other stories are there?
Nothing.
Alex Jones has been better than ever.
Owen Schroyer has been better than ever.
The other two chaps whose names I forget.
Reese, the reports on Substack, fantastic.
There's so much good stuff.
Did you see the China deal?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to look at my phone here.
I'm looking at the app.
Oh!
Sal Angelo says, Lionel, since I rediscovered you on WABC, I've been playing your radio shows to everyone I know.
Try to help spread the word.
Thank you for that.
Thank you, dear friend.
And make sure, interestingly enough, make sure that you apply the app.
Question.
What has more of an impact in the ratings department, listening to the app or on my local radio?
It won't earn a cume between 12 a.m.
to 6 on the Arbitron ratings soon.
not sure if it's worth it.
Well, it's very interesting.
If you are obviously...
It's a very interesting question.
For many folks who do not have the Either or, whatever works for you, get the app, listen on WABC, just, they are, they will always keep track of how you listen, which is the most important.
I thank you for that.
Ryan says, this Trump Elon has X filled with some of the craziest left-wing theories.
It's like an insane asylum.
Do you see what's happening?
Do you see what's happening?
This is, you're absolutely right.
This is the purpose behind it.
This is the reason why he's doing this.
This is the reason why this insanity is so perfect, because people are losing their minds.
They're losing their minds, and everybody's talking about it, and it's delicious, and I love it.
Keep talking about it.
Keep these people going crazy, losing their minds.
That's all I want to say.
That's it.
Losing their minds.
What is the left talking about?
What?
They want to bring that Kilmar.
They're bringing him.
They're going to get him, deport his ass, and send it back again.
What?
You want to bring him back?
I want to hear more about the border.
Can we put Epstein to bed?
That's a weird concept.
Would you agree with me Epstein is over?
You're not going to find out anything in Epstein.
You're not going to find anything about Epstein anymore.
It's over with.
It's done.
Would somebody please tell Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, shut up.
Just shut up.
Go away.
Go away.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Go away.
You dig what I'm saying?
You dig this?
This is the most important part.
This is the most important thing to know.
We have to focus on all of these spinning plates and we have to be the ones who determine and decide.
What the actual subject matter is going to be.
Not these other people.
They are absolute chidroulos.
All of these folks.
If you look right now on X, I'm going to X right now, and I'm looking at the profile section.
By the way, follow me at Lionel Media on X. Let's go and see what they're talking about.
To the explore section, this is interesting.
It says here, D-Day anniversary.
81st anniversary commemorations.
Sad to say we have forgotten D-Day.
And I don't want these people to get any idea.
We got...
We...
I mean, I think our feelings...
Musk proposes new party amid Trump's feud.
Elon Musk and SpaceX hinted at the possibility of...
This is petulant.
Keep talking about it.
Keep talking about it.
Let people talk.
Just whatever it is.
I don't care.
The left has no control over this.
And Elon Musk is not going to embrace the left.
New parties don't work.
We know this.
Independents don't work.
They do nothing but take away vote from the Republicans.
That's ridiculous.
Let me see that.
Let me see.
Let me see this.
Daniel Price.
I can't read this.
What's that?
I know you have no problems with privacy or civil rights being violated by Donald and Palantir.
No issues with Vance being a Peter...
Did you hear what I just said?
Did you hear what I just said about Palantir?
Did you hear what I just said?
Anybody miss that?
Did you hear that one, Daniel?
Daniel, did you hear me talk about Palantir?
Did you hear me read about the problems that I have with this?
Did you miss that, Daniel?
Daniel, bless your heart.
Did you miss that, Daniel?
Did you have that one kind of like copy and paste and you realize he just talked about that?
I just explained that, Daniel.
Did you catch that?
Did you catch it?
He's just a flamethrower.
Do you understand that?
Are you following this?
I mean, listen, I absolutely, positively loathe the idea of Palantir and what's going on.
And, uh, let me see.
Oh, I love this.
This is great.
Boy, this Daniel's going great.
Daniel's giving me shit about, well, Daniel, what would you like us to do?
Daniel's saying, let me see if I can find this.
Let me see if I can find this.
Oh, I love when somebody gets a hair up their ass.
Oh, he does.
This is a good one.
Let's see what we've got.
Let's find this out.
Let's read what he has to say, shall we?
Let's read what Daniel has to say.
What's that?
You have no problem with privacy?
Donald Trump, Vance being a Peter Thiel protege, dark enlightenment, nothing.
What would you like us to do?
You want to go back to Joe Biden?
I just read this.
See, I love that.
It's a very good point.
What would you like him to do?
What would you like him to do?
A lot of times it's just say something, throw it out there, and act like you own it, and act like you know more about this subject than anybody else, and then see what people say about it.
See what people say about it.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yes.
See what people say.
And then throw it out there and act like this is what we're going to do.
What about that?
What about the fact of it?
What about the plastics?
You know, the microplastics.
Children, the funny microplastics.
You like that?
You like that?
Trump didn't care about that.
What are you talking about?
What about the plastics?
I don't like the plastics.
Well, what about that?
What about your boy, what about your boy, JFK?
He backed off of the talk about this.
What about your boy, JFK, or RFK?
He backed up the talk about the autism race.
He talked about the...
What about your boy?
What about that?
Doesn't that sound great?
Makes me feel like I'm in charge.
Like, I know what I'm talking about.
What about that?
Huh?
What about that?
What's the matter with you?
What do you want me to do?
I don't know.
I just want to say, what about your boy?
What about her?
What about Tulsi Gabbard?
She's not in charge of the CIA.
She's DNI.
Doesn't matter.
What about her?
Huh?
What about her?
What about your wall?
What about your boy Trump with his wall?
What about your boy Biden?
Well, we're not talking about Biden.
Okay, feel better?
Good.
Listen, by the way, we like people to bring this up.
I wish somehow there could be a way of bringing this out to everybody's attention and saying we are going to completely shut down everything that involves the notion of violations of privacy.
Think that's going to happen?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
But listen, I'm waiting on that.
I think we have to do everything in our power to extricate ourselves from the Look at this.
Look at this.
Oh, poor little Lionel.
Truth triggered him.
Who's arguing with you?
Somebody get a hold of Daniel and say, Daniel, they're not arguing with you.
He agrees with you.
What?
What?
They're arguing.
They agree with you.
But I got my routine.
Your routine's not working.
Nobody's arguing with you.
Daniel, what would you like us to do?
Brings up a good point.
Daniel, what would you like us to do?
Become Democrats?
Let's wait.
Nobody's saying anything until Daniel tells us what to do.
Tell me.
Just wait.
Everybody wait.
Daniel's going to tell us what we're going to do.
He's right.
What do we do, Danny?
What do we do?
Turn in our cards, dot, vote, move, perhaps seppuku.
What would you like us to do, buddy?
What would you like us to do?
I'm waiting.
I'm still waiting.
He's probably typing something right now.
That scathing, that sense of vitriol, why you...
Come on.
Come on, Danny boy.
Let's go.
Oh, Danny boy.
Come on, Danny.
Nobody's arguing with you.
What do you want us to do?
Punt?
What?
What do you want us to do?
What do you want us to do?
Come on, let's go.
I'm waiting.
I'm still waiting.
I don't know what I want you to do.
Let's go.
Wait.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
There you go with your hyper-reactionary Pavlovian contributing.
Look at this.
He's unanswering my question.
What are we talking about?
Daniel, what do we do?
Durr must be Democrat.
I'm not a Democrat, Republican.
None of that decisive trash you fools partake of.
Daniel?
What do we do?
Everybody say, what do we do?
What do we do, Daniel?
What do we do, Daniel?
Daniel is off at night on a plane.
What do we do, Daniel?
What do we do?
The pipes.
Danny Boyd.
What do we do, Daniel?
Yeah, Danny forgot his meds.
Daniel, what do we do, Daniel?
Tell us.
Quit throwing stuff.
Tell us, what should we do, Daniel?
Everybody say, what do we do, Daniel?
Everybody write, what do we do?
What do we do?
Tell us.
No more ad hominems.
What do we do, Danny?
Come on, hurry, Danny.
Hurry, we can't wait this long.
We're waiting for a man of your intellect.
Let's go, Danny.
What do we do?
Lead us.
Lead us, Dan.
Lead us.
Lead us down the road.
Who wants?
Dan is our man.
Dan is the man with the plan.
Come on, Dan.
Do it.
Let's go, Dan.
Come on, you.
We're waiting, Dan.
We're waiting.
Type.
Type away.
Hurry.
You must have had this stuff copied and pasted, ready to go.
Type.
Type, damn it.
Let's go.
Come on, Danny.
What do we do?
We're not doing anything.
He says, what ad hominems?
You're the one acting like a coked-out chihuahua because I spoke facts.
Daniel, we understand the facts.
What do we do?
We accept your facts.
You're not listening.
What do we do, Daniel?
What do we do?
Tell us what we should do.
Line to hum a few bars of Oh Danny Boy.
Oh, indeed.
The pipes, the pipes are calling.
What do we do?
He can't answer the question.
He's just slinging shit at you, but it's like, well, what do we do?
Quit the party?
Vote?
Move?
What?
He has no answer.
It's just, you don't know what I know.
I bring up the facts and you, okay, you're right.
Don't ask me what to do.
Listen.
We need people like this.
Better to be like Daniel than have somebody who says, I don't know.
Even though he's wrong.
See, never be the type of person who just goes out and tells people, you don't know what you're talking about.
You people don't know anything.
You're just stupid.
You're just stupid.
You're not as smart as I am.
I'm smarter than you.
I know more.
I read.
I'm enlightened.
You're not.
What did we do?
Don't ask me what we're going to do.
Thanks, Danny.
You did more tonight, but you know you had your chance, and you're a blowhard.
And you can blow it out your ass.
We don't care.
You had your chance.
You had your chance, but we don't care.
In any event, so coming up, there's a lot of stuff to be looking at.
I think that somebody should be getting the news.
Somebody's got to tell Dan Bongino, you're not a talk show host, or you're not on the air anymore.
That's that.
Other things that matter, China will keep an eye on that.
What you should worry about are two things.
Number one, Daniel, World War III.
World War III.
I listened to the very smart, wise, and sapient words of Colonel McGregor, Scott Ritter, John Mearsheimer, and Pepe Escobar, who was fantastic, explaining what they are saying in Russia and how they are basically, not goading, but demanding that Vladimir Putin do something.
And this is a scary, scary world that we live in.
You understand what I'm saying?
That's what we should be paying attention to.
You dig?
That's it.
That's number one.
Number two?
AI, AGI.
It's going to be worse than anything you've ever seen.
It's going to be bigger still.
Nobody's even remotely talking about that.
And under this stupid bill, for 10 years, nobody can talk about AI.
How about that, Daniel?
Huh?
That's what we've got to worry about.
Somebody's got to end this nonsense.
Get rid of NATO.
Close this thing down.
This is a waste of time.
And Mr. President, please talk to Mr. Putin.
Get this thing done.
Remember, save our, save the world.
Because Putin said he's this close, this close, from if he's pushed enough to taking serious, serious efforts.
You got that, Daniel?
You got that?
Anyway.
Okay, my friends.
So that's the way that goes.
So anyways, it's a beautiful Friday night.
It's about to rain in New York City, which is terrific.
I hope you are a part of this.
I hope that you continue to follow me.
Remember, always remain subscribed.
If you remain subscribed, whenever we pop on, you're ready to go.
I've got a new one coming up later.
Sign up for the newsletter right now.
I've got some great stuff coming up on as far as what Saudi Arabia is doing.
It is so wild.
But you're not going to hear it with Jesse Waters or...
You're not going to hear that.
What are you going to do?
All right, my friends, thank you so much.
Follow Mrs. L at Lin's Warriors.
Make sure you do that right now.
Follow us at Lionel Legal and Lionel Nation.
And thank you so much.
And how about a big hand for Dan today, huh?
Was he fantastic?
Was he fantastic?
We got our Portuguese friends watching.
Thank you from all over the world.
By the way, before we go, let's do a run-through.
Even you, Danny.
Where's everybody from?
Let's give a kind of an update of where everybody is.
Give us an idea.
Let's do a run-through, shall we, of where everybody is.
What do you say?
Where's everybody from?
And don't say Ohio.
Give me like a name of a city in Ohio.
See, Montreal.
North Alabama.
Costa Rica.
Look at that.
Someone writes, she is pissed.
By all.
Christine's taking off.
Toronto.
Tampa.
Pilgrim.
Delco, Pennsylvania.
Thomasville.
New Jersey.
We got Australia.
Kissimmee, Florida.
Look at this.
Look at all these wonderful, wonderful, great and glorious people.
Oh, somebody from Poland.
Welcome.
Augusta, Georgia.
Home of the Masters.
