| Good evening, dear friend. | |
| Good evening, and welcome. | |
| Welcome to this thing of ours. | |
| A hearty hello and a high old silver. | |
| And a welcome to you, dear friend. | |
| Excuse me, what a day it's been. | |
| What a rare mood I'm in. | |
| Had a wonderful time this afternoon with our good friends Natalie and Clayton on Redacted. | |
| I'll be posting that one up coming up. | |
| Hope you saw it this week. | |
| It was wonderful, said wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. | |
| Let me see. | |
| Let me see. | |
| Okay, very good. | |
| Now, pardon me for this. | |
| As you know, dear friends, we are still getting through the end of the news cycle. | |
| What I'm trying to do, what I've always tried to do, what would be, I think, groovy, is not to give you the usual routine, but to give you a kind of a different look, a different flavor, a different take, dare I say. | |
| Something that is not the usual stuff. | |
| And what I want to talk to you about is if you saw the piece today regarding Mr. Biden, Mr. Hunter Biden, and what this will do ultimately to either accentuate the interest, to make people aware of what's going on, or to perhaps maybe do much of a little bit of nothing. | |
| What if it actually is another flop? | |
| Why Hunter Biden is speaking now and doing anything to raise his head now is beyond me. | |
| Why anybody is saying anything now? | |
| Why Pambandi raised her head and brought up this whole Epstein thing is beyond me. | |
| So my friends, I welcome you to this. | |
| I love your comments. | |
| And the only thing I ask is try to speak English. | |
| Try to speak in complete sentences so that we can understand your brilliance. | |
| And try to focus, if you could, on the subject matter before us and not throwing out little glyphs and morphs and gimmicks and little pieces on whatever it is that you supposedly are saying. | |
| Now, before we continue, my friends, before we continue tonight's episode, tonight's episode into this thing, let me remind you that right now, even though everything is doing great and the Trump economics plan is doing well and basically picking up steam, there are a lot of folks who still need help and consideration and focus and assistance. | |
| And that's why you must listen to this. | |

| Go now. | |
| Did you hear what Mr. Biden said, what Hunter Biden said about crack is probably better than and could be construed as being better than alcohol. | |
| Did you say this? | |
| I have never tried crack before. | |
| I don't know about crack. | |
| I don't familiar with crack. | |
| I don't think it's a good thing. | |
| And I probably, though I'm no expert, I probably do not or would not agree that it is safer or as safe as alcohol. | |
| Just me, call me wacky, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| But the question I have is, what do you think are the reasons or bases for his particular action? | |
| Why is it, why do you think that Mr. Biden feels it incumbent upon himself to bring this up now? | |
| Why? | |
| There she is, my friends. | |
| She was Lizzie Solak says, Lionel said my thumbnail didn't do me justice, so I'm trying a new one. | |
| She is absolutely awash in poker tude. | |
| Our good friend, the dead mother, was there. | |
| So good to see you, LS. | |
| So good to see you. | |
| You honored me with your presence. | |
| What a delight. | |
| A beaming, beaming smile, an absolute, bulliant, effusive, radiant. | |
| You warm our heart. | |
| And thank you. | |
| So good to see you Saturday at the cutting room. | |
| You're a great, great, great, great, great, great friend. | |
| Liz Solock has been, she's just a doll, an absolute 100% doll. | |
| Do you hear what I'm saying? | |
| A doll. | |
| Except no substitutions. | |
| So my friends, I ask you the question. | |
| Think about this. | |
| This is the most important thing in the world. | |
| What is going on? | |
| I don't want to hear your thoughts and comments. | |
| I spoke at length with Natalie, Morris, on Redacted. | |
| I hope you saw it. | |
| It was our barn burner, ladies and germs. | |
| And the thing which is the most interesting, which I find so fascinating, is very simply this. | |
| And this is the most important. | |
| How do you think this is being done? | |
| I saw a very quick, quick, quick, brief, a very brief, a piece on Alina Haba and Pam Bondi trying to intervene. | |
| Did you see this? | |
| I saw it. | |
| It was a New York Post or New York Times, rather. | |
| And I spent no particular amount of time. | |
| I'll review that later. | |
| So, Mr. Biden, how is it, ladies and gentlemen, how this person, they say he's, and he did a very good job. | |
| He said he has been investigated by, and he went through a litany of all of these various U.S. attorneys' offices asking or saying that he's been investigated by this one, this one, this one, this one, this one. | |
| And why? | |
| Why has nothing been found? | |
| Why has no information or no evidence or any type of charges? | |
| Nothing. | |
| Nothing leveled against him. | |
| How do you think that is and why? | |
| A fascinating. | |
| Fascinating piece. | |
| And I found it even more interesting and more fascinating to note that he has a good point. | |
| This is a fellow who went out. | |
| Remember Bobolinski? | |
| Remember Bobolinski? | |
| This is when it was so interesting. | |
| You had Tucker Carlson. | |
| Bobolinski had him on. | |
| He said, I've got the goods on him. | |
| And nothing happened. | |
| Remember when Tucker Carlson was followed, apparently, by the NSA? | |
| Did you hear this? | |
| Whatever happened with that? | |
| With the NSA. | |
| Remember that one? | |
| Nothing. | |
| What happened? | |
| Tony Bobolinski. | |
| What happened to Tony Bobolinski? | |
| Nothing. | |
| Nothing happened. | |
| Nobody cared to think about what he said. | |
| Why? | |
| Why? | |
| You see, what I was trying to explain today, my dear friends, to our good friends on the show, Redacted, a very popular ensemble, as it were, is the fact that the federal government is so entrenched, | |
| so infected, so monumentally contaminated by years and years and decades of corruption that it's very difficult to think that somehow, | |
| all of a sudden, something could be done to, well, make things better, that something could be done to perhaps look the other way, that something could be done to get the Department of Justice and all of the judges and all of the folks, | |
| that it'd be very, very, very, very difficult to think that all of a sudden they would be, how do I say this, made available, made available to, I guess we'd say, do something about this? | |
| Does that make any sense? | |
| Does that make any sense? | |
| The logical male says, Hunter P, Hunter, pissed, Hunter pissed the Dems, did a coup on his dad. | |
| Did in fact logical, thank you. | |
| Do you believe there was a coup? | |
| He attacked everybody. | |
| He absolutely excoriated everyone. | |
| Everyone. | |
| It was the most incredible thing in the world. | |
| He excoriated. | |
| He lambased it. | |
| He tore people apart in a, I don't know what it was. | |
| He went after Carville and Axelrod. | |
| And he brought up a good point. | |
| He said his father was 81, but I said, but they said he was sharp as attack. | |
| How did you countenance that, dear friend? | |
| How did you look the other way for that? | |
| Well, we don't know. | |
| But there's something, there was not a part of me that ever felt the slightest bit sad or concerned or, I don't know what the word is, sad or concerned or, how do I say this? | |
| Sorry for, if you will, our friend, Mr. Biden. | |
| Not one time. | |
| I never felt one moment where I thought, you know, poor guy, he's trying to do his best. | |
| He gave 52 years of his career. | |
| They made it sound like he actually was in a public service, like he was a member of the Marine Corps or something. | |
| He didn't do anything. | |
| He did nothing. | |
| He was absolutely, positively, without a doubt. | |
| He was demended and was one of the most corrupt individuals ever who used said corruption, who used said corruption to feather his own nest and to perpetuate the various goings on of the Biden administration. | |
| Now, let me ask you a question. | |
| I want you to try yourself. | |
| I want you to get done speaking because I know you're very, very nice. | |
| You're very, very nice and you're very, very kind in talking to everybody and doing everything and chatting and all of that. | |
| But I want to ask you a question. | |
| Tell me, in your heart of hearts, do you believe right now, based upon what you know, based upon what you know, your experience and what you've seen that's going on, | |
| do you believe you will ever see anyone of note, a name, whether it's Comey or Brennan or Hillary Clinton or Biden, do you believe you will ever see any of them in prison, in jail, in the Huscal, in the Poke? | |
| Do you ever think that's possible? | |
| Do you or do you not? | |
| Very simple question. | |
| Do you ever see, do you ever think that forget? | |
| I mean, listen, maybe I'm being crazy with this. | |
| Do you ever see, do you ever for a moment think for one minute that you will ever live long enough or that you could see somebody actually arrested, serve time? | |
| Never. | |
| Never. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I wish it kills me to say that. | |
| What about charged? | |
| Maybe charged. | |
| You know, maybe charged with something. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Maybe. | |
| Maybe charged. | |
| But do you really, honestly think? | |
| Do you really honestly think? | |
| Now, with Trump, I thought there was a real possibility. | |
| The only reason he didn't, he wasn't convicted of something was because of either courts or somebody who maybe intervened. | |
| I thought for sure they would have done nothing to stop. | |
| Now, I'm going to ask you a question here. | |
| Do you agree with me? | |
| I have a very simple assessment of this. | |
| It's nothing personal. | |
| But I do not believe that the president and his administration, I believe none of them are serious. | |
| I don't believe any of them are vicious. | |
| I'm going to say this again for the umpteenth time, and I'm sorry to say this, but I'm going to say it. | |
| They want too much to appear on Fox News. | |
| This is what they want more than anything you can imagine, is to appear on Fox News. | |
| This is their thing. | |
| It's to pad their resume, to gild their lily, to. | |
| But that is 100% what I truly believe is first and foremost in their consideration. | |
| First and foremost, I believe, is this desire on their part to appear on Fox News. | |
| That they are podcasters. | |
| These aren't government people. | |
| When you're a hardcore, there are people who have been prosecutors in various districts, who have been career prosecutors their whole life. | |
| They have impaneled federal grand juries. | |
| They've done a variety of things. | |
| They are a part of the system. | |
| And the Southern District of New York was, at one point, the number one, the creme de la creme, the greatest of them all. | |
| The best. | |
| Simply put, the best. | |
| And they were professionals. | |
| And today, so contaminated, so affected, so bereft of any semblance of organization or honor, | |
| I'm sorry to say, but so bereft is this that we're seeing, I'm very sad to say, we're seeing behaviors that are just so unseemly. | |
| I have no faith in this system. | |
| And consequently, and it hurts for me to say this, but I have no faith that let's assume you were to bring a charge. | |
| Do you mean to tell me that nowhere along the line in the federal system would there be anybody there who would maybe compromise this, get to the bottom, leak information, do something to subvert this? | |
| I believe that they consider the president and MAGA or whatever this iteration is. | |
| I believe that they believe that this is a I believe that they believe that this is an organization that is corrupt at its core and they will do everything in their power to see that it is stopped, that it is corrected, that it is fixed. | |
| And I think they are so brutal in this, and it kills me to say this. | |
| I think there are judges who will are not on the take, as it were, like most people use that term. | |
| I don't think that's the case. | |
| But I think that there are people who really believe that we are a part of something that they consider to be a threat, a very serious and very real threat to this country. | |
| And I believe, and I mean this, I believe that they figure that whatever they have to do to subvert this is okay. | |
| And I wish that wasn't true, but I think it is. | |
| I do. | |
| And I could see a federal judge coming along and saying, well, I'm not going to throw the case, but what I am going to do is I'm going to show incredible leniency, leniency to the point that it's unparalleled, leniency regarding this particular case. | |
| Overwhelming, in just, but not illegal, using discretion in ways that we can't even imagine. | |
| This is what I fear. | |
| This is my particular problem. | |
| So that's it. | |
| By the way, did you hear, my friends, that Ozzie Osbourne died? | |
| Ozzy Osborne. | |
| We're changing the subject just a little bit. | |
| 76 years old. | |
| Did Ozzie Osbourne right after his last triumphant concert where he couldn't get out of the chair. | |
| Did Ozzie Osbourne mean a lot? | |
| I'm never happy to see someone. | |
| I think he was quite the entertainer. | |
| He did. | |
| He was able to, he was one of those people who kind of transcends this. | |
| Kind of like Snoop Dogg. | |
| Do you, did you, did you feel anything? | |
| Somebody cried. | |
| Did you cry over Ozzy Osborne? | |
| Ozzy's always been there. | |
| You know, the Prince of Darkness, I think his growing up, the Osbournes or whatever it is, very interesting. | |
| I think his marketing is absolutely genius. | |
| Thanks to Sharon. | |
| I know she catches a lot of grief from some of you folks, but she was responsible for making pretty much who he was, what he was, without a doubt. | |
| I liked Paranoid. | |
| I liked Rat Salad. | |
| I liked his Only One. | |
| I couldn't tell you anything about his music other than that. | |
| Again, I'm not happy. | |
| I'm not mocking his death. | |
| But what I do mock and what I do find problematic is the following. | |
| People who are of the mindset, who act in a way... | |
| I'll play something. | |
| I'm going to read something you I wrote. | |
| This is part of my ex. | |
| I hope you follow me on X, at X, at Lionel Media. | |
| Lionel Media, okay? | |
| And it goes like this. | |
| With Ozzy Osborne's passing, the usual swarm of grief tourists has emerged, moirologists steeped in public conspicuous mourning. | |
| Suddenly, everyone's destroyed, gutted, or unable to speak. | |
| It's the same performative overreaction we see with every celebrity death. | |
| Less about genuine loss and more about online virtue signaling. | |
| Mourning as performance art, amplified by hashtags and hollow nostalgia. | |
| Ozzy deserved sincerity, not this manufactured emotional theater. | |
| And there are more people who don't know how to react because they have been, for the longest time, they have been so, how do I say this? | |
| They have been so disconnected from reality and friendships and human, they've been, they've had anxiety and they've had a variety of psych meds and the like that they're really unable, I'm sorry to say this, to react. | |
| So consequently, they have no friends, they have no family. | |
| So they look around, kind of like in the old, the old Asperger's case, where people would look around and would all of a sudden pretend to be, what am I saying this? | |
| They pretend to be in pain because they don't know what legitimacy is. | |
| They don't know what actual sincere loss feels like. | |
| And I'm sorry to say this, but it's a guy's on this trip. | |
| This is called auto-mourn. | |
| This is when you put everything into it and you go through this. | |
| By the way, moiology where the professional criers, these professional mourners who would come to funerals and they would cry. | |
| Remember like when the dear leader died and this over-the-top hyper-exuberant. | |
| I'm not in any way mocking Ozzy Osborne's death, not in the least. | |
| I'm mocking a lot of people who want to go out of their way to show you that they're, and everybody has to say, breaking news, Ozzy Osborne is dead at 76. | |
| They have to say it. | |
| It doesn't happen unless they say it. | |
| The event never occurred. | |
| The event never stood for anything unless they themselves put up, repost something. | |
| They themselves say, R.I.P. No words. | |
| No words they write. | |
| No words. | |
| I can't speak words. | |
| I am bereft of words. | |
| I am shocked. | |
| I am unable to speak over the death of Ozzie Osbourne. | |
| And I think in a very strange way, they might really believe it. | |
| I don't think what they're saying is true. | |
| I think they're just, again, reacting because they want this to be true. | |
| Because like I said, emotion to them is performative. | |
| It's not sincere. | |
| I think there's a lot of people out there who have lost all connection whatsoever with the ability to speak and to think. | |
| And I think a lot of them, believe it or not, I really do. | |
| I think there's something to be said for that. | |
| I'm very negative about this generation in particular. | |
| And I think for very good reasons, because there's something very, very strange about them. | |
| I was talking to somebody the other day who was a young man, young, a young person who said that he's in the financial institutions. | |
| And when he deals with younger people today, they feel as though they, I forget, like you're not worthy of their energies. | |
| I mean, he explained it very interesting to me about how this sadness is. | |
| In any event, my friends. | |
| So there you have it. | |
| A bit of a truncated show tonight. | |
| I hope everybody's doing well. | |
| I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you always for being a part of this. | |
| Don't expect a lot from this Delane Maxwell. | |
| Delaine Maxwell shouldn't say anything. | |
| Why should I say anything? | |
| She should worry first and foremost about her family. | |
| Her father was dispatched. | |
| Brunel in France. | |
| Other people. | |
| You've got to be very, very careful about this. | |
| And what they plan to offer her, I have no idea. | |
| So we'll keep you posted. | |
| Have a great day, my friends. | |
| Please follow Mrs. L. She has a lot of interesting things to tell you what she's doing today. | |
| I'll let her tell you. | |
| I'll let her tell you specifically, bring you up to speed. | |
| She's the hardest working woman you can imagine, doing things that fighting for the Warriors. | |
| Follow her at Lynn's Warriors. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| Also, don't forget our other, I just dropped a video at Lionel Legal. | |
| Make sure you sign up for that one. | |
| It's very important. | |
| And make sure also important you are signed here at Lionel Nation. | |
| So thank you so much, The Logical Mail. | |
| Thank you for your kindness today, for your contribution to the till, as we say. | |
| Don't forget tomorrow, WABC, 1 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 1 to 5 overnights. | |
| I'm going to be leading off with my auto morning piece. | |
| It's an incredible piece. | |
| In any event, dear friends, I love you. | |
| I thank you for being with us. | |
| And until we meet again, remember these final words. | |
| As I always say, the monkey's dead. | |
| The show's over. |
