I don't care what the truth is, as long as it's the truth.
I don't care if a particular form of truth is embarrassing, is contrary to reality.
I just want the truth to be the truth.
You can call it whatever you want, my friend.
You can call it realism.
The Mearsheimer term, realism.
Tell me what the truth is.
What is the truth?
That's all.
I don't care why the truth is.
Tell me why the truth is the truth.
Just explain, or I should say what the truth is.
World War III is beginning.
Not the World War III you're thinking of.
Not the Wehrmacht and all this stuff and invading Poland and the Allies.
No, no, no, no.
U.S. bases are under attack.
That's the story.
The war has begun.
Where is the battlefield?
We can argue.
We could say whether it's actually in the Middle East or whether it's the headlines.
But we have to understand what is happening here.
Vietnam was about a perception, a belief that communism was going to spread unless it was somehow stopped.
Communism was the basis for Vietnam.
Now, you can argue, well, the real reason it was it was a military industrial complex.
It was a military, whatever.
But the reason why it was this, it was post-OSS, post-World War II world, pre-JFK.
I mean, you know, that sort of, but that's what it was.
We are in Iran or attacking Iran or Iran is being attacked on two sides, two fronts, from Israel and from the United States based on Israel.
You got that?
Don't run from it.
That's the truth.
Anybody have a problem with that?
Anybody disagree?
Anybody disagree?
Oh, people are going to say, well, you know, they said some terrible things.
That is not the reason why we're there.
You know this and I know this.
That is not the reason why we are there because they said terrible things or that Iran was involved in promoting and inspiring and training forces like Hezbollah and Al-Aqsa Brigade.
That's bullshit.
Everybody does that.
Everybody in some way or another.
That's the excuse.
It is because, whatever the reason, because of an agreement with, an understanding with, an alignment with, a kindred spirit, whatever.
The reality is, Israel, Israel asked us to do this.
We did it.
Bibi Nanyahu says thank you.
Trump should have told Bibi, don't you ever say that again.
Don't say thank you.
That makes us sound like we're your hitman, that we did this for you.
We didn't do this for you.
Don't ever say that again.
Ever.
You understand?
Don't ever say that again.
Period.
You follow what I'm saying?
That was deliberate.
That was deliberate.
That's for Bibi to tell the world, this is our big brother here.
This is my bodyguard.
This is my Luca Brazzi.
This is our enforcer.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Who is the name of the...
I retweeted or reposted Judge Napolitano, who has been nothing short of miraculous genius.
It's the best stuff anybody's put out.
This group, this, if you listen to anyone, this coterie, this band from Judge Napolitano, Jeffrey Sachs, Mearsheimer, Scott Ritter, Colonel McGregor, oh my God, Aleister Crook, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Wilkerson, whom are they being out?
Superb.
Absolutely superb.
The best, the absolute best analysis there is.
And if you're not listening to them, and if you're not picking, and I'm not one to endorse a lot of people, i really don't i will make an exception with them they are superb alex jones superb owen schroyer superb superb katie halper max blumenthal off the charts aaron mante brilliant
some other people are they're good but they just complain that's a different story i've never heard i've there there is no there is no side to this that's it it's that side and everybody else and i don't know what the reason for this is it's the it's the mark levin sean hannity fox news who is what
is the name of the woman help me out with this what is the name of the woman who is the spokesperson for the state department she is a do you know who i'm talking about you'll give me her name what is her name what is what is her name spokesperson used to be on fox news comp uh of
conservative type liz no not liz somebody give me her name i'm waiting you'll you'll give me your name spokesperson for spade turbad i'm not gonna look tammy tammy yeah no temp yes tammy tammy tammy tammy what's your name tammy tammy bruce thank you thank you sasha tammy bruce tammy bruce said the united states is the greatest country second to israel excuse
me they make no bones about it do you see what's happening they make no bones about it what am i hearing what what dear god are you kidding me what is this what's going on here we for
years people and i would say well yes there was a yes america has always been aligned with israel yes we have absolutely we have many similar interests many common interests we share uh uh so much and but it's not to the point where they don't own us and this is what i thought that all changes that all changes
i've never seen anything i've never seen anything trump said and and and basically either lied or was deceptively cagey or deliberately duplicitous or whatever you want to call it but he basically threw every fake and you name it well i'll give you two weeks well we're going to do this well and he did exactly what he wouldn't do even even uh even
laura loomer who basically jumped on on nikki haley years ago and said you want to go president trump's not going to go to war with iran it's not going to go with a war with iran what are you doing what are you talking about he's not going to go to war with iran god what are you what's the matter with you crazy and he did now like that it's the most incredible thing i've ever seen in my life two fronts iran two fronts now today today there is a they again what do you believe i
don't know what to believe i don't know what to believe at all in i have no earthly idea i find out to start off with the premise what's not true watch fox news they will tell you what's not true fox news is a fraud it's an absolute they they should steve bannon was 100 they should file for farah they're almost it's almost like they're the the official
house uh advocacy party for for the liquid party what is going on here i don't understand i've i've never ever ever seen it like this never it's it's they turned it up to notches you can't even put into perspective i can't believe it everything i said then we are now locked
we are i don't know who controls whom i don't know all i know is iran never ever ever ever posed a serious enough immediate threat that warranted president trump to go deliberately into military action without even pretending to secure the approval of anyone now when that happens
what you do is you say this you say always look Obama did it and that's supposed to be the end of it okay if somebody else did it the rules are off if somebody else did it that's it we don't worry about it that's the way we think but the reality is simply this it does not matter we don't know I don't know what else is President Trump going to do what's he going to do I don't
know I don't know when he sat in the war room you're gonna think this is this is this is the most trivial best bit of nonsense anybody's ever seen you're gonna think I've been some that I've become so out of my mind that I have lost my mind you are going to think you are going to think oh look at this Trump announces Trump announces ceasefire between Israel and
Iran is it really a missing is it I guess is it do you Do you believe any of this stuff?
Do you believe anything?
The other day he told us two weeks.
He said we had two weeks to whatever it was.
And then he changed his mind.
I don't get it.
I don't understand it.
I don't...
This is...
This is the part.
The, um...
You, you, you...
You have to understand this.
What is our...
A Vong.
V-U-H-L-N.
Von.
And it means vulnerability, susceptibility to attack or temptation.
We're looking for the Von.
What is the Von?
Look at this.
V-U-L-N.
Like vulnerable.
What are the VONs of our society?
Well, first of all, the Vone of our civilization is we have this seemingly innocent inability to appreciate anything that resembles reality.
We believe everything and nothing.
We just...
There are people who wear lapel pins, American flags and Israeli flags and this flag, and they wave the flag, and they want to be a part of the team.
And their vulnerability is that they don't know how to handle when somebody says, well, you don't understand.
Your version of what's happening here is not necessarily the truth.
You see, it's more complicated.
That's it.
Stop it.
I see people, friends of mine on Facebook or whatever, immerse themselves on both sides in this absolute smothering embrace, not of Israel.
I don't have a problem with that.
You can be proud of it.
Again, I've got friends.
That's not it.
But it's the idea, and maybe you saw this.
It's when people get involved in something.
Remember during the Rona.
Remember during the Rona, people didn't just become, they didn't just say, hey, go out and get vaccinated.
Oh, no, no, no.
They wore their badge on their, literally on their arm.
I got mine.
You can get yours.
I love it.
The shot.
Get poked.
Stay hope.
You know, hope and poke.
Stay hope with a poke.
Stay.
Stay home.
Save alive.
Yeah.
I love.
Save vax for the tax.
And I say, I mean, they just went crazy.
They wrapped themselves in the.
And there are people wrapping themselves in the Israeli flag.
And they do wrapping themselves in the American flag.
Wrapping themselves.
What are you talking about?
What does this have to do with Iran?
What?
What?
I've never seen...
I've never seen anything like this.
Never.
Never.
There's always, always been strong.
You know, there's always been.
During the first into fun and second into fun, yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand that.
Yeah, right, absolutely.
October the 7th.
And we don't know what to believe.
First, what did they attack?
What did they damage?
There are many, many sources.
Again, you might just discount them.
You might say, I don't believe them.
Oh, Pepe Escobar.
Great sources who were saying there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever ever that the Fordo, the Latans, and you know what?
I got to remember.
I got to remember this one.
What were the three sites allegedly damaged during the attack against Iran?
Natans, Fordo, and it's that third one.
That's the third one.
I cannot remember the name of it.
It's that third one.
Let me see.
I don't know why it is such a...
Yes, Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
I-S-F-A-I-S-Fahan.
I don't know why.
I-S-F.
I'm trying to think of a mnemonic or some type of way to remember.
Sometimes I just remember sort of the Isfahan.
There's no pun, there's no.
But Isfahan.
Fordo was the main, the main, this is the main site.
And yet there are pictures, and you can see this.
You can see, ladies and gentlemen, of sites, of trucks, of people leaving, leaving, backing up, leaving, lined up away from this, away, away from this, indicating that they had removed the uranium, they had whatever it was, whatever the particular phrase, this is what people had thought.
Okay?
Okay, fine.
So they're saying it wasn't damaged.
It wasn't damaged.
It wasn't damaged like you thought.
It was not damaged.
It was not damaged.
Okay.
All right.
Fair enough.
This is what people are saying.
This is what people are saying.
Isfahan, already damaged, already blown up before by Israel.
And Natan's the same thing.
Let me translate for you.
Let me translate and see, my dear friend, if you can understand what I'm hearing, what many people are saying.
And you can discount it as though you just don't like it.
And I can understand it.
A lot of people might say, I just don't like this news.
So I'm just going to say, look, that's not what I hear.
That's not what Mark Levin says.
That's not what Fox News says.
Okay.
But what everybody of the particular group that I have cited, what they're saying, is that this was already gone.
This was gone.
This was done.
Sean R. Martin says, ceasefire announced.
Yes.
Do you believe that?
That's what I just said before, Sean.
Thank you.
I don't believe anything.
Do you believe anything?
I love this.
I love this president.
If he says there's a ceasefire, do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
He said two weeks.
Listen, two weeks.
And then they attacked.
What do I mean?
You said two weeks.
Well, that was deliberate.
That was cagey.
All right.
Do you believe anything the president says?
Do you?
Do you?
Anybody?
And I'm not trying to be rude.
Do you believe in what the president is saying?
Do you, and I'm not saying because he's a liar.
He may say this is a tactical reason.
There's a reason for this.
I found out strategically that it's best for us sometimes to mislead the enemy.
So I'm going to say that this is fine.
Hillbilly says, look at this.
Yes.
Yes.
Hillbilly says.
Exclamation point.
Yes.
Hillbilly.
Do you hear what I just said with the president?
He's told you.
Do you understand?
He says, you know, I think I should be backing off about this.
Remember this?
Because, you know, I've been looking at this and I look at the history of what's going on specifically involving Libya.
And I think it might be a good idea for us to kind of back off this.
Remember that?
And what did he do?
He attacked.
He attacked.
You remember that one?
Remember when he said two weeks, two weeks, attacked?
And then he was saying, you know, I know he supposedly was having problems with BB.
Now, the thing is, if you're Putin and you're saying, I don't know what this guy says, does President Trump say, look, I do a lot of bullshit.
Let me tell you this point.
He might have picked up the phone and told the Ayatollah.
Now, listen, I want you to shoot some stuff, but miss.
You can go to cutter, but don't hit anything.
Okay.
Well, that's a retaliate.
You got to show some face.
You know what I mean?
It's like you got to pretend you're hitting.
It's like fixing a match.
You're fixing a boxing.
We'll let you do this.
But understand, you don't hit anything.
Okay.
Because they didn't hit anything.
Nothing.
There's really been nothing.
I mean, there have been buildings.
I'm sure there's been some casualties, but do you understand what this is?
Iran is sitting with what?
100,400,000.
I don't know how many missiles they have just sitting there.
They're just waiting.
Hezbollah is going crazy.
I don't know what to believe.
You don't know what to believe.
You don't know what to believe.
Do you think the Iranian nuclear program is dead?
And please don't believe, as much as I love the Russians in the Pakistani, they're not going to give them nuclear weapons.
Come on.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do you believe what is happening here?
And I want you to sit there.
What does this mean when someone says yawn?
I just, what does that mean?
What does that mean?
Recon, if you don't mind, I'm curious.
I just, like, well, we're doing this stuff and we're pouring our heart out and we're really, really interested in this.
When you say yawn, what does that mean?
Does that mean, oh, happy says, oh, thank you, happy.
Happy, look at this.
Happy, happy, the snitch.
It means he's bored.
Happy, can you just kind of wait a little bit?
Can you wait?
Can you wait a little bit, happy?
Do you not see what happens?
Do you understand the rhetoric of where I'm going, happy?
Do you understand what I just said, Happy?
Happy just jumps.
He just, oh, Bush is yawn equal boring.
Okay.
So does anybody think this is boring?
I'm serious.
Does anybody think either this show or this subject is boring?
Please tell me.
I want to know who thinks this is boring.
Please, I'm serious.
You've got to, because I've got to tell, we are in the middle right now of what could be World War III.
World War III.
And somebody writes, yawn.
I'm serious.
Tell me.
This fascinates me.
You can think whatever you want.
It's okay.
It's a free country.
But I got to be thinking, what does it take?
What does it mean?
Overreaction.
What is overreaction?
I'm overreacting.
Recon says it's over.
Again, the imprecision to writing.
Nobody writes.
Nobody's interested in even saying, I want you to understand what I'm saying.
I will write L-O-L.
And I don't care whether you mean, and again, because I want, I see these other shows and they have, like, they have like, with all due respect, like they'll have, like Napolitano will have, you know, live updates and thinking why he never refers to them never talks to them I mean people talk to each other maybe maybe maybe that's the whole thing but want to talk to each other but but but I want there to be some kind of a of a of a discourse that's what makes this so important and I can't believe that there are people who just don't they don't say anything
they don't think they're they don't think they say well what am I writing here I'm not saying anything if anybody's reading them to say yaw who's who's lowelling who's yawning yawning about what lowelling about what what's going on here do we let me let me see if I explain it do people really understand how critical this is maybe not Johnny Nas says Mark Simone is becoming unlistenable oh come on same pro subjects every
day and it wasn't very nice of him a few weeks ago to throw you under the bus with one of his regular callers he lost my respect I don't know what that means do you do you really honestly think that people understand what this is about do you think that this is America first and we're the best and we can't I mean do you really seriously do
people really understand oh USS Liberty there we go NPC thank you buddy thank you when in doubt throw in the liberty we have it we live in a world of oh LJ gets it LJ says no yon's here just wondering where Comey is hiding oh Comey forget Comey come we'll get to that later and please don't bring up Comey Epstein JFK Hillary and it's a good point though but we don't we don't don't worry about that this
is changing the calculus of the world before our very eyes this is the biggest thing in Israel and the Middle East and us we've always been like just kind of shaking hands we've just pretty much nobody liked bb i mean even i mean even even let's take it it was tony blinking who loved uh israel before i mean really seriously seriously
loved he was i mean the guy i think he was a dual citizen but nothing like this nothing you've got tammy bruce saying we're the greatest country next to israel you've got mark levin saying mr president you're our best jewish president oh well what well they did call who was it bill clinton the first black president so this it's never been at this level you can
call it a pack you can call it this whatever the reason is we don't know what's happening yet i don't know what to believe let me also tell you something which i i want to say this with all due respect i am not a little boy who loves to play soldier if i was the president i
would never salute because i'm not in uniform i'm not a soldier i'm not a marine i'm not a sailor i was never in the military i would never play soldier ever ever you understand what i'm saying never i would never salute never i don't play soldier i don't play this ronald regan i'm a soldier
thing i don't when you see a plane i see death i see destruction i see killing i see this is the last i see a bone saw i see amputation i hate war i respect the military okay but i don't i how do i say this i don't when i want to celebrate the police i don't put on handcuff parades and
hey looks look at the latest in um you know shotguns look at the guns that we have normally with police you say no we don't want to know the police are but order and justice and law and order you don't you don't have things look look at the guns we have you see these these guns look at these these uh this this but somebody a long time loves the military and we we get into this fetish of the military we love it it's almost sexual to these people we
show them before uh sporting events we love we get we so much so bad that we confuse we confuse um how do i say this a military event uh memorial day with veterans day and i and i respect them but i don't it's not it's not this whatever this this fascination with me and
when they do the job that they have been trained to do i don't talk about it almost in a sexual tone about how precise they were and they killed the enemy you should have seen them it's the most illegal now you know who used to talk like that was patton patton and they couldn't take that ike marshall
omar bradley they said what is this jimmy doodle even i mean they did they i mean the curtis le may may have talked about bombing people into the end into the stone age that's another story what we're seeing here is something completely different so far all of this stuff bunker busters and the jade did seem to have hit nothing to repeat if why can't you remember this we're talking if isfahan
take allahan with isf isfahan okay isfahan the tans Do you hear what I'm saying?
There's evidence in the belief system that nothing was hit.
That nothing was hit.
Think about what I'm saying.
Nothing was hit.
Go from watching Fox News to that.
It's almost as though they're saying, I'm giving you two weeks.
Get the hell out of here.
Okay.
Got it?
Got it, Ali?
Okay, good.
I'm out of here.
They wouldn't dare think of this.
They wouldn't dare think.
The Mark Levins couldn't think of this as being some kind of a kabuki dance where we pretend that we got the bad guys.
So understand something.
Here we go.
Look at this.
Bilot Y says, don't be silly.
Lots was hit.
Where are you getting your information from?
Did you hear JD Vance in the press conference?
They asked them specifically regarding Fordo.
They specifically said the UAI oh God.
AIEA.
EIEIO.
They asked him and he said, well, yeah.
Do you hear what happened just now?
Somebody said, no, it was no, because that's not the truth.
They even said it.
Yes, hit that like button.
Thank you.
They told him that.
You weren't even watching the, you weren't watching the press conference.
He said it.
Everybody's saying that.
I know you're not going to believe Iran, but there are other people as well that are saying it.
You see, this is this idea.
You're not going to ruin my sense of, I'm a little boy and I love bombs and good guys and bad guys.
And I want the bad guy.
I'm not even sure what the bad guys did, but I want them because they said terrible things about us.
They actually were using this as a basis, as a basis, as a basis for attacking a country because they said something while they were exporting terror.
The whole Iran can say, you funneled, you fomented, you arranged a coup in 1953.
It was a coup.
You did it.
Stop right there.
Do you understand the irony of this?
We're telling Iran, you said bad things about us.
And they said, we elected, we were going to elect, like Mosaddegh, you gave us the Shah.
You can't say anything about this.
Nothing.
Iran gets hit by two countries, Israel and the United States.
What would you do if you were Iran?
What would you do?
Give up.
Remember, three things we want.
Number one is to end the nuclear program.
Number two, regime change, whatever that means.
Number three, surrender.
Do you know what's happening here?
People don't want to hear.
People don't want to hear anything that goes against the fantasy that they've created.
The idea of we're the good guys and bombs and blood and high-tech and the bag.
We love that.
I don't know what it's about, but the same thing I saw during Vietnam.
Nobody could tell you what Vietnam was about.
You must wake up.
You have to see this.
And let me also tell you something.
Be very, very careful.
Make sure you are ready to go in the event there's something that happens, specifically involving the need for some type of military, either supplies, generators, food, emergency equipment, everything that you need in the event of very serious supply chain breakdowns.
You think I'm kidding?
Listen to our friend.
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 preparewithlional.com, our trusted friends at MyPatriot Supply.

I was amazed at how so many of us, so many of our great friends in the world of, oh, those of us in the world of America first.
Remember that?
Remember America first?
What does that mean to you?
Well, America first theoretically meant, theoretically meant this idea that we worried about American stories, American issue, America people, America folks, America, America citizens, American problems, America concerns first.
If we have everything taken care of in America, which we never will, then we go elsewhere.
And when it comes to foreign affairs, We don't do anything outside of the United States that doesn't affect the United States.
We stay out of problems deliberately, absolutely.
And we applauded that.
Oh my God, we loved it.
The silliest, dumbest, craziest thing that we've gotten involved in at the time was this lunacy called Ukraine.
It had absolutely nothing to do with anything.
Ukraine had nothing to do with anything.
Nothing.
It was so obvious.
And we try to tell people, and of course, when I try to, people will look at me like, what are you talking about?
I'm saying, don't you understand what this is about?
This is NATO.
Yeah.
Americans are under this idea that somehow NATO is, I think, I think they thought NATO was like a sort of like an extension of the United States.
Say, nobody knows what the Fed is either.
You know what I mean?
They just sort of think like, well, it's one of those things I guess.
It's the strangest thing.
And I said, we should not be a part of NATO.
We should not be a part of NATO.
Don't you understand?
Yes.
NATO.
Do not know, no.
So here's the deal.
This is what's interesting.
When we told people this, they looked at me and go, oh my God, don't say that.
Don't bring this up for the love of God.
They just didn't want to hear it.
And then I would say, no, no, you don't understand.
NATO.
And they didn't understand NATO.
And they had to explain NATO to them.
Then they explained, well, you know, Don, you know, you know the position of the what?
You know, the coup, the Donyansky and Lugan.
What?
You know, NATO and Victoria Newland and the what?
Don't you understand this?
No.
I don't know anything.
I watch Fox News.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Victoria who?
Who is Victoria Nuland?
Is she on the Real Housewives?
What are you talking about?
Isn't NATO good?
But there's no Soviet Union anymore.
Yeah, there is.
No, there's Russia, but there's no Soviet Union.
NATO's about the Soviet Union.
What are you worried about?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, what do you mean?
What are you so concerned about?
What is your concern regarding this?
Why does NATO mean anything to you now?
Why?
They have no idea.
And what's even better, and I find this more fascinating, what's even better is you can't even show people a map.
I mean a map and ask people to understand what it is that you're talking about.
They don't know what you mean.
And they watch Fox News.
And they watch that poor Lawrence Jones guy who needs articulation lessons more than anybody.
It's like, dear God, they don't even care.
You've got Angely who's talking.
She's reading her notes.
And they're into this thing where for some reason, I guess they're of the opinion, maybe they're of the opinion, I don't know why, but they're of the opinion that if Israel says, bomb them, we're going to say, okay, and we're going to drop bombs, bunker busting, allegedly, bombs.
Why?
And I...
And I think, well, because Iran's a bad guys.
They're bad guys.
They said bad things about us.
This is the God's utter truth.
You don't understand.
I've been walking around in a fog thinking, I can't believe what I'm hearing.
Oh, and then telling us, well, Obama did it.
Obama did it.
See, to America, we think that we are just invincible, that we can do whatever we want and that nobody, nothing will ever, there's no blowback.
Nothing ever will hurt us.
Nothing ever will come back to hurt us.
Nothing hurts us.
Nothing will hurt us because it does matter.
Make the deal, a dream come true says, America first means McD's and Walmart never close.
I like that.
George Keene says, coincidentally, Isfahan in Persian means the third one.
Love Yolano, do you really think Ruskies will give nuke to Persians?
If yes, then what?
I just said before, no.
No, you're not going to give a nuclear.
No.
They're not going to do that.
You don't give a nuclear bomb to somebody.
You don't say, here you go.
It's like giving it to a kid.
And if something goes wrong?
No.
No, no, no.
I think they might have said, don't worry, we'll help you with your refinement techniques.
We'll help you with your ability to, you know, we'll do a lot of things like that.
But we're not going to be in the position.
We're not going to necessarily give you a nuclear bomb.
Now, flip that switch, push the red button, and run.
No, I don't think that's going to happen.
No, no.
You see, the problem that we have in our country isn't you or me.
It's the rest of the numb nuts who don't know what they're talking about.
And the people who sit back and think this is some kind of a competition.
They just love war.
They love war.
You don't understand it.
They get their rocks off on it.
It means something.
And even though they talk about no more wars and this and that, they just.
And I've got to calm down.
And then when you say something, you say, wait a minute.
What are we doing here?
You're anti-Semitic.
Don't even start with that.
That thing has just run its course.
You're smarter than that.
You know this.
Okay?
All you smart people.
Now, do me a favor.
Remember this.
July the 19th, July the 19th.
I'm going to be at the cutting room.
At the cutting room, be there, my friends.
Be at the cutting room and join us for a night of frolicking where we go through this bit by bit, and I will go through this in a way.
And you'll swear to yourself, you'll say, how can something so serious be so entertaining?
Because you know why?
Because the truth is entertaining.
George Keene said, it's all, is this a firework?
Get it?
I like that.
And CutUp says, I would not be a member of any club that would have me as a member.
Raucho Mark, yes.
Wish I was an island, indeed.
Well, that's a good thing, but we're here in this club, and we're not leaving this club, and I like being a member of this club, and I want to be a part of it.
But I don't know whether to believe the president anymore.
George Keene says, debating this with my family who watch Fox News, Second Religious Sacrament, they say if Persia has a nuke, they will use it.
Your take?
Is North Korea going to use it?
Who's used the nuke?
We have.
Two.
We have.
Why are you debating people who watch Fox News?
Why?
What you do is you say, interesting, fascinating.
Really?
And that's what you think, right?
Interesting.
I see.
Well, there you go.
And move on.
Pat them on the head and don't waste your time talking to children.
They had the other day Ainsley with a bunch of papers.
I get stuck.
I don't.
When I go into WABC, by the way, WABC, overnights, 1 to 5 a.m., I go into the studio and I look up and there's this, there's this, they have different, you know, monitors.
And I change it immediately to, I was watching, I think it was Hunter with Fred Dreyer.
I watch anything, this new Kathy Garver.
Remember Sissy from All in the Family?
I mean, yeah, All in the Family.
She's selling phones where you can read the messages.
Or those perennial commercials for bathtubs that old people can get into.
Look, you can just walk into the bathtub.
Greatest thing in the world.
This is what I watch.
But I do not engage in discussion with them.
I agree with you.
Look at Iraq, Libya going nuke free.
It's so simplistic.
Let me say this again.
Is everybody listening?
Okay.
Nobody is saying that they should have a nuke.
What we're saying is we do not necessarily have to go to war and blow them up.
There is a thing called negotiation.
It's true.
It works.
It's been done forever.
This is what we do.
We don't attack countries that we want to deal with.
Hunter was great comfort food TV.
Oh, all those old shows are terrific.
Mrs. Elden and I were watching today.
It's going to be 101 tomorrow.
We're just taking a breather and watching some old sopranos.
It wasn't that good.
I mean, I know at the time it was something, but the sopranos were some of the most overrated.
It was campy.
It was the most, and I think, why do we think it was so good?
Cut up says, I like the channel that flushes the toilet as he bans trolls.
I love your channel too, but jerks making jerky moves annoy.
Politicians included.
I like the channel that flushes the toilet as he bans trolls.
I don't know what that is, but thank you for that.
It's amazing how many things.
Today we're having people give advice.
Now be careful.
The elderly, the elderly should not watch out, keep an eye on the elderly when it gets up.
Drink plenty of water.
Drink water.
Stay hydrated.
Stay hydrated.
Please don't wear excessive flannel.
Don't drink alcohol.
Don't go outside.
Wear a hat.
Wear sunglasses.
Somebody wrote that.
This is on a radio show.
Wear sunglasses?
Thank you.
Channel called Borco that makes cuts of sopranos.
I don't know what that means, but thank you.
Again, I don't know what that means.
Channel called Borco that makes cuts of sopranos.
What about it?
Is it good?
Is that what cut up was talking about?
Again, we need, my goal, complete sentences so that we can speak and understand.
That's all, because I want to understand you.
You mean that much to me.
I want to understand you.
But anybody who thinks this is a yawn, oh my God, you have no idea.
Cut up says, I was told to get pet insurance.
No, thank you.
I don't know who told you that.
Maybe that's one of the ads.
I have no idea.
All right, dear friends, you have a great and a glorious and a beauteous and a fabulous night.
I did a little kind of a reprieve, a little bit of watch my great piece with Colonel McGregor right there.
I put it on for you.
And I will have some portions of it.
He is just, he is the most important voice, I think.
I would vote him for anything.
Anything.
Anything.
He is that good.
Mir Shamer would be my Secretary of State.
Douglas McGuire would be my Secretary of Defense.
I think if I could, Judge Knapp would be either I don't know, I wouldn't want him on the Supreme Court.
I think I want him something like on like DOJ or something.
But I would have, I would, and I would fire Cash Patel and Dan Bongino so fast and make your head spin.
Today we are all here to love you.
There you go.
All right, dear friends, stay warm tomorrow.
I mean, stay cool, please.
Please.
Remember, no excessive flannel.
Uncle Lenny, I've never had anybody as understanding as you in my life.
Thank you.
That made my day.
That's a very, very kind thing for you to say.
We're all in this together, brother.
I don't know what you are to me.
Not my children.
I don't want to mean that sounds so pedantic and so, but of a children.
But you are my, you are my, how do I say this?
You are my, my, my family.
My family.
And we get together and we have these, think of these times as big dinners, big Sunday dinners where we're just sitting and we're talking, we're yakking it up.
And I'm turning you to saying, complete a sentence.
Complete a sentence.
All right, my friends, we loves you.
Don't forget to follow Mrs. L at Lynn's Warriors.
Don't forget to follow me here.
See you tomorrow morning.
We're going to do 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, a little bit earlier.
So, and listen to every night, WABC, 1 to 5 a.m.
Get the app.
Get this 77 WABC app or listen to wabcradio.com or just tune into whatever.
And tonight we're going to make fun of news folks who keep telling you how to keep cold or no, how to handle the heat.
I'm from Florida.
And Pilgrim will tell you, I'm from Tao.
And we know a little bit about heat.
And anybody who's in the middle of Florida, like, you know, Lakeland and, oh, my God, Orlando, you're into, ooh.
We were kind of on the coast.
The best part about being on the west side here in Manhattan is that you got the Hudson there.
So we got the, it was very cool.
We get this cool coming to go for Jersey, not in the East River.
You don't get that, but you get this.
So it's always a little cooler in the side.
So anyway, enough of that stuff.
Have a great and glorious day.
You are phenomenal.
By the way, Tulsi Gabbard, Dick McGee, by the way, Tulsi Gabbard has got to resign.
She's been humiliated.
And believe me, she's not going to want to be a part of this.
She's going to want to be for her own personal political career later on.
She's going to want to be separate and distinct from that.
Absolutely.
I think she's a marvelous talent.
And she has to maintain her own strict sensibilities and the like.
You understand that?
Okay, you ding?
All right.
All right, dear friends.
Have a great and glorious day.
Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you so much for being a part of this.
Don't forget, subscribe to Lionel.

Let me get rid of.
I don't know why Dick.
Why I left that up?
I got the thing up there, Dick.
Who cares?
This is there will be no ceasefire.
There's going to be a ceasefire.
There is a ceasefire, but I don't know what that means.
Is there going to be a ceasefire?
Yeah.
I guess.
