The Heartbreak of ZDS (Zohran Derangement Syndrome)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The Republican Party is caught in a sense of entitlement, a sense of entitlement.
We should win because we're right.
We're correct.
We know what we're doing.
Everybody knows we're right.
Zoron and these other people are, they're crazy.
They can't win.
They're stupid.
They're leftists and they're communists and they're dumb and they don't understand.
They don't understand what we know.
We're right.
We're correct.
They're living in the world of Reagan or 1980s George Will.
I don't know what.
I listen as much as I can to, I guess, what you would call conventional regular types of, what would you call it, regular Republican news feeds, and I can't figure it out.
I keep asking myself, my God, do these people know what's going on?
Do they have any idea of what is going on?
We're going to be talking again about Zoron derangement syndrome, Z D S, something that has gripped, gripped a group of people who I thought knew what they were talking about, but they can't get past it.
They can't get out of it.
They can't understand it.
I have been talking about ZDS and it's obvious to me.
They're doing what regarding Zoron here in New York and around the world, what people are doing regarding Trump.
And they don't see it.
They don't understand it.
They're being fixated on him and not policy.
And you're not winning because there is this strange fever running through a lot, parts, but much of the Republican base, especially in New York.
And I call it ZDS.
Zoron, because nobody can say Mamdani.
You know, nobody can so say Mamdani.
I know about three people who say Mandani, Zamdami.
They just cannot.
I had a friend of mine, very smart person years ago who couldn't say Czechoslovakia.
Couldn't say it.
Cheslow, something could not say it.
So we call it Zoron.
Zoron derangement syndrome.
This is the condition that hits good people who should know better.
They see Zorhan Mamdani, a young socialist or whatever he is with a gift for performance and the TikTok touch.
And instead of building a serious policy counter, they chant the same old lines, the same old bromides, the same old ad hominems, communist, socialist, degenerate, Marxist, whatever.
And they shake their fist at a poster and they yell at a cloud.
And meanwhile, the voters that they need to walk right and the people that they need to talk to and vote for the guy with the ideas, even when those ideas crumble like a cheap folding chair, they're completely forgotten.
Instead of explaining what Trump does, they miss it completely.
Because as I've said to you, maybe you see, the rules have changed.
Whatever you think this is about now, it has changed drastically, drastically.
People can't.
I never knew, I never knew how bad, how ill-equipped, how intellectually bereft the right was.
I thought, well, they're going to be ready for this guy.
How they've only been, we've only been told forever from Europe to the UK to Italy to France.
I mean, every aspect of it, invasions and communists, and whatever you want to, we've been told, but nobody thinks it because no, no, no, no, that's not going to happen here because we're so good and smart.
Nobody's going to fall for this.
It's amazing.
The voters they need walk right by and vote for the guy with the ideas.
Even when his ideas are stupid, even when they crumble, he has ideas.
This is exactly what we could have told you.
This is exactly what we could have said.
But nobody seems to grasp it.
Now, before I begin, or before I just have begun, I want to remind you of something which is very, very, very, very critical, my friends.
And this is something, pay attention right now.
As you know, I have been an absolute fan of these great people at preparewithlionel.com.
And there is a very strange thing that is happening right now.
People are at people are understanding how this thing works.
And people have to understand specifically this incredibly wonderful deal right now.
There is something which is so important.
Right now, until, listen to me carefully, until Black Friday, there is a deal upon deals that you cannot forget.
I want you to go to prepare with Lionel.com.
Now, I know there's something weird about this.
I got to tell you something.
Whenever you talk about this, people say, you know, if I have to admit that I should be getting emergency food, I guess I kind of have to admit there's an emergency.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right about that.
That's how that works.
So I guess maybe I have to sort of remind people.
Yeah.
And people have a very, very difficult time with this.
And I don't blame them.
I really don't blame them.
I understand.
Sometimes it's tough.
But right now, this is the most important thing.
Ever since COVID, people have realized that there is a very, very, very serious thing has happened.
And we've realized that in the event something goes wrong, I mean, we've only had a million, if you will, how do I say this?
A million dress rehearsals after COVID.
Remember when we had that the supply chain strike?
Remember that when they were talking about are they going to do this?
Are they going to be able to was it the dock workers?
And we just don't learn.
We say, well, that's always going to be something.
In New York, in New York, whenever it snows, there's a run on milk and bread.
I guess they want, I mean, if you're in the continent or if you have lactose intolerance and you're in a small enclosed care during that, I mean, that's a cheap joke, right?
Because I'm a cheap person.
But ever since COVID, millions of Americans started buying and understanding preparedness supplies.
They know this.
They're thinking this is something serious, especially emergency food.
Remember, there's four things you need during a time of stress: food, water, energy, and ammo.
I can't help you with the ammo, but this I can.
But there's a big mistake most people make.
A big mistake.
Listen to me carefully with emergency food supply.
They don't have any way to cook in a real emergency when the power is out or the grid is down.
Interesting.
Hey, I got this stuff.
How do I cook it up?
That's why our friends at MyPatriot Supply created their Black Friday survival special.
Listen to this.
It comes with a four-week food supply plus $150 worth of free gifts.
I know a gift is for you, it's tautological, so Subi, including everything you need to prepare your emergency meals, everything like a cook stove, fuel, and fire starters, plus a water purifier, bug out bag, and much, much more.
It's the complete and total and perfect survival kit your family needs to ride out natural disasters, civil unrest, or anything worse, if there anything is worse.
So, anyway, it also makes a great Christmas gift, believe it or not, believe it or not, but it's only available through Black Friday.
So, head to preparewithlinel.com to check out everything that's included, preparewithlinal.com with all the uncertainty and all the mayhem in the world right now.
We simply can't afford to be unprepared.
You know it, and I know it.
So, go to preparewithlionel.com and get prepared today.
That's preparewithlinel.com.
Okay, good.
Pay attention, dear friends.
Nobody's going to know, nobody's going to make you do this.
All right, it's not going to work like that.
So, anyway, here we are.
By the way, look, oh, look who it is, Sparkle.
Sparky says, Lionel, in the spirit of Campbeat, join them.
You should sell Lionel Nation branded prayer rugs featuring a compass pointing toward Mecca to set them apart from ordinary prayer rugs.
Absolutely.
Well, I think you should be happy about that, Sparky, because this is a good news for the anti-Zionist set, right?
Just saying, just saying, a lot of people should be happy about this, and they really are.
It's a weird thing.
And, Sparky, you've seen this.
You've seen this.
Wait a minute.
He's back again.
He says, hasn't Mamdani been captured by Alex Soros and his lovely wife, Huma?
Isn't he just Obama 2.0?
So we'll be most business as usual for New York City.
We'll see.
But this is good news for you.
Good news.
Because what's going to happen?
Well, maybe not.
I'm going to say something.
There's a tremendous dynamic that's going on here.
A tremendous dynamic.
And I want to explain this to you.
And Sparky, only you would get this.
As you know.
And this is really important.
And this complicates ZDS.
We have a number of issues regarding the Middle East.
Let me explain this to you.
First, first, Israel, the country, the state.
Okay.
Second, Judaism, the religion.
Not just necessarily contained within Israel, but Judaism.
Three, Jews, people who follow Judaism.
People who follow Judaism, not necessarily just in Israel, but all over the world.
One could say, obviously, which is important.
You got that?
Good.
Next, Bibi Nanyahu.
Very interesting.
Next, Palestine.
Next, Gaza.
Next, Middle East policies, Apex.
There's about five, six, seven different issues that are similar.
Oh, and Zionism, excuse me.
Christian Zionism.
About five, six, seven issues seemingly connected, but not really.
And they're even more connected now because you've got the Heritage Foundation, you got Tucker Cross, and you've got Fuentes, you got Candace Owens, she's on a tear because Candace, Candace is hitting, swinging for the fences, and you have all of this stuff.
So up until Zoron came along, a lot of people were saying, you know, this is groovy.
This is great.
These are wonderful people, wonderful times, wonderful everything, nothing to worry about, nothing to see here, nothing to worry about, just the best people.
And then all of a sudden, Zoron comes along.
But it's not just, and what people are saying here is, and what, Sparky, you make a mistake.
People aren't upset in New York just because he's Muslim.
We have right now, I don't know if you knew this.
Let me just run this one.
This might surprise you, which people have to.
And you bring up a very, very, very good point.
The number of mosques in New York City and New York State and New Jersey and my borough and the just the demographics regarding Muslims.
See, this is, they've been around forever.
And this is, this is, they've been around forever.
According to a report by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, as of 2015, there are 285 mosques across the five boroughs.
Another count lists 175.
And by the way, sometimes there's cultural centers and there's varieties.
So we say there's roughly 250 to 300 mosques.
As for the Muslim population in New York City, there's about 750,000.
And it goes out into various groups, okay?
Various groups.
And this is an important group of people.
Now, here's the important thing.
Nobody prior to this cared.
Nobody cared about mosques.
Nobody.
Never came up.
Still doesn't come up.
Still doesn't come up.
This is the part that I keep saying over and over again.
People think this is about religion.
It is not.
It is not anything near religion.
This is the most, it's about what he is saying in terms of policy.
You see what I'm saying?
It is in terms of policy.
And it's the policy that people get most upset about.
What does he want?
Free this, free that, defund the police.
So this is being portrayed by a lot of folks as some kind of religious war.
And it is not.
Believe me when I tell you, it is not in any way.
Period.
However, when you have people come into the mix, Linda Sarsoor and other people, I'm sure you like those.
I'm sure you like those.
Make the Dream says legendary powdered milk hand fart.
Thank you so much.
Don't know what that means.
Thank you, Dickie.
But Linda Sarsur and others are coming and say, we're going to make this.
This is going to be Sharia, even though that's the wrong term.
Now it's changing drastically.
So here what I'm saying.
So a lot of people are coming forward and they're saying, wait a minute, this is most interesting.
We really don't have a beef with anybody.
We don't have a beef, but we notice something that's very different.
For the first time in a very long time, people of New York in particular are hearing an almost menacing connection that is being portrayed, not by everybody, but by some who are Muslim.
So this is kind of turning into a wait a minute, maybe this is a sort of a, I don't know what the word is.
Maybe there's a religious context to it.
I don't think it's there yet.
But what's interesting to note, and you'll get a particular interest, many, many people who listened before with, give an example, Bill Ackman.
Bill Ackman, hedge fund megastar was always considered by a lot of people to be very, very pro-Israel, a Zionist, a rich Zionist.
And people like the usual, not usual suspects, I make it sound like Katie Halper and others go down the list.
They just saw him as basically funding.
Well, listen carefully.
Well, a lot of people are saying, now, wait a minute.
Maybe he's not so wrong here.
Maybe, maybe not so much about Israel and Palestine and Gaza.
But maybe there is something to this international flood of Islamicization.
Maybe there is something to be said about this apparent tsunami of people from various parts of the world who don't want to assimilate, but want to replace.
Maybe there's something.
So the argument that was being advanced that enjoyed a real pro, I don't want to, it's hard.
These words don't apply, but pro-Palestinian, pro and anti, as many people I think use incorrectly, Zionist, are saying, wait a minute.
Maybe this Ackman guy and others are making some sense, not in terms of what's happening in Gaza, but in terms of what would happen should we lose our balance, so to speak.
So what I am saying is that everything has changed drastically.
Now, when I tell people that, they don't understand it.
They don't grasp it.
They don't see it.
And there's a reason for that.
Edie says, grown children, authoritative and wrong, punish the parents, then cry a decade later how they were led into error.
Only blame, no admission of guilt.
A most fascinating take on that.
And Sparky says, the significance of Mandami, like with other recent U.S. election, is his message.
It said to President Trump to get back to America first, in my opinion, rather than whether he'll actually make real changes.
Could be very, very good.
Laurie, there's Laurie says, you think Mayor Mamdami was part of the plan?
Economy and crime go up and people remember socialism sucks.
You know, it's funny to say that a lot of great and genius things here.
First and foremost, this.
There is so much that's happening.
And you're smart.
You are absolutely so smart because you understand levels that I can't talk about in regular circles, if that makes any sense.
You understand things that other people don't have.
What do I mean by that?
Well, let me explain this to you.
You, if you are watching me and have watching us, we believe that there is a thing called the shadow government.
And the shadow government is a group of people, a group of people who run the show.
You might call them globalists, you might call them, you might call them a lot of things.
But these are the people who are responsible for what's really going on in the world today.
And they are the ones that we don't necessarily elect, we don't put into office, but they are there.
And when I say I want to go to the halls of the shadow government and say, we're going to change things our way, we're going to have, for example, our own version of a Peter Thiel palantir go after these people and change the collective conscious matrix and calculus of the people.
I want to change the way people think.
Because what's important for you to understand, and friends, no matter your age, left and right is over, the rules have changed.
Democratic, Republican, I don't know what it is.
I predict within, and I can tell you, five, ten, that eventually you will not general elections will be the most important.
Primaries, though important, will not grasp.
We almost want to go for the grand finale, okay?
We don't understand how politics works today because it has changed.
The rules changed.
We had the bull moose party.
We had the know-nothings or whatever they were.
I mean, this is this doesn't apply.
There was a time when bimetallism and mercantilism, we're in a post-modern world, a post-modern feudal world, where all of these distinctions don't make any sense anymore.
And what I'm telling you, and we're understanding, is very simply this.
I want to go to young people and I want to explain to them what is it that we're talking about.
Why is this so critical?
Tell me what I should worry about.
And the first thing is, I want to tell people to stop bringing up this Zorhan Mamdani nonsense.
Forget him.
Treat him as he is.
He is a cutout.
He understands his lines.
How do I say this?
Remember when Tom Hanks thought he was, I think he thought he was in World War II?
He was so into this stuff that he actually thought he was in World War II.
It was the strangest thing I've ever seen.
It's like, Tom, you're not in World War II.
You're not in World War II.
You're not, you were never in it.
What are you talking about?
What is happening?
Sometimes people forget the idea of how this thing works.
And let me also tell you something.
What people are worrying about right now, young people in particular, don't you remember when you were young?
Don't you remember when you were young?
Don't you am I the only one?
Am I seriously?
Am I the only one who understands what it's like to be young, to be crazy?
I still have it.
I still have that sense of idealism.
I still have that Kind of a radical edge to me, which is, I think, what motivates me a lot for what we're doing.
I really mean it.
And I think you and Edie and Sparky, I think you have that thing too, because you love to be abrasive in a good way.
You love to cause problems, as it were.
You love this.
I'm this way.
There's this thing that we do.
But Zorhan Mamdani, I was listening to some talk because talk radio, by the way, is coming back.
Conventional talk radio is coming back, and I don't think they know what to do.
I don't think they know what to do, and I don't think they understand kind of the issues that are here.
Like nobody really understands how to handle Tucker.
Nobody handles, nobody.
I have a very serious feeling, a very serious concern about Tucker.
I texted him the other day.
It just, I'm not a big texture, but I just said, you know, it's funny to me.
In fact, I will read you what I texted him, which I thought was pretty funny.
And I said, the celebrated necromaniac and part-time moral arbiter, Piers Morgan, interviews, highlights, extols, and lauds serial killers in his exploitation fests.
Creepily, he details how humans were butchered by hominids with batches of chromosomes missing all the while, licking his lips over each excruciating detail.
And you, you interviewed Nick Fuentes, which is true.
And he responded, and I'll say that.
But the point is, there's a lot of us out there who said, wait a minute, you people are schmucks.
Tucker Carlson, whether you like it or not, is a very, very, very critical person in this world that we live in.
He's a very, very critical world.
And let me change this way.
I'll put this up.
He interviewed Nick Fuentes.
Now, I don't know what to tell you about this, but what's the big deal?
What's the big deal?
I'll tell you what, Sparky, it's good.
When I see that little, I guess that's a dog.
Whenever I see your thumbnail, it looks like an aircraft carrier or something from a, from a, I have to get real close.
I fairly recently realized, oh, it's like a dog in the snow or something.
I thought it was like an aircraft carrier.
Anyway, Lionel, you should also sell a Lionel Nation.
Oh, it's not selling it.
Prayer rug has a built-in clock with an alarm with familiar music calling the rug owner to prayer five times a day.
Do they exist?
I don't know what that means.
But yeah, that'd be great.
Now, by the by, I want you to understand something.
You, and I know you don't mean anything by it, but you keep, I do not mock people who, I know you're not mocking.
I'm not saying you're mocking, but, but I don't mock people who are devout Muslims.
We have in our, you look out, you know, and you can see windows and buildings.
There's a very, I guess, nice, I've never met these people, but they are Muslim and they're very clockwork, like clockwork, they, they pray.
And I think, sorry, I think any kind of devoutness, any kind of self-discipline, anything is good.
I have no problem whatsoever with anybody's faith.
When you try to replace it, is a different story.
Edie says they prove with evidence.
The administration issues two plans side by side.
One is known and the other is secret.
Another working, another, anyone working it may not even know if they are on the fake or the secret plan.
I like that.
They proved with evidence.
I don't know where that proof is.
That might make sense.
That might make sense.
Listen, it's even simpler than that.
It's even simpler than that.
We live in a very, very, very, very simple world of people.
Do you think that to work with the president, you must understand this complexity?
No.
The thing, but I want people to understand, and maybe you to look, is rather than worry too, too much yet about this, why is it, why meanwhile, does Mom Donnie, Mom Donnie, collect voters like baseball cards?
Young voters, first-time voters, voters who do not watch cable news, voters who use Venmo more than cash, voters who see the cost of living rising like some waterline on a sinking ship, and want someone, anyone to speak to their plan.
Anybody care about that?
No.
They laugh at this.
They laugh at this.
They don't want to hear this.
This is where we are today.
This is our side.
Don't you understand how these people work?
I don't understand it.
Every other group of people, every other group of people has somebody who tries to go out to say, I want to go on.
Oh, by the way, keep an eye.
Remember, you heard it here first.
Keep an eye on some kind of voter chicanery going on in D.C. I'm sorry, in New Jersey, D.C.
And look no further than Chris Christie.
Just remember Chris Christie, and how many people are going to start saying, Hey, what about Chris Christie?
Is he involved in any of this stuff?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Just see what happens.
Nothing illegal, nothing, you know.
But remember, Christie is very upset with the Republican Party.
He feels, in a sense, abandoned.
And he never got what he wanted.
And by the way, prosecuting Jared Kushner's old man didn't help.
So just remember something.
Why?
Because the rules have changed.
You don't know the good guys and the bad guys anymore.
That's all I'm saying to you.
But Edie's right about this.
The idea about somebody saying that there are people with different agendas and different groups.
And by the way, there's it also depends, look, on your level of involvement in this thing.
See, that's the problem.
Your level of involvement.
That's all I want to say.
I want there to be somebody who explains my involvement.
Let me get back.
Let me go back to what I'm saying.
I've got a million things going on in my head, so forgive the apparent scattered energy.
There is the political part.
The Republicans are the worst.
I don't understand.
They're so cocky.
The Democrats.
What was I think Molly Atakis?
Nicole Maliatakis from Staten Island was talking about.
She's being sued.
Yeah.
Okay.
The Democrats don't let up.
Trump's getting a little better at this.
He's going after more, you might call it lawfare, you may call it whatever you want, but he's getting a little bit better.
But these guys, oh, they're good.
See, and it's not the Democratic Party, it's not.
Don't, please don't think Nancy Pelosi, it's not Nancy Pelosi.
It's a different story.
Let me try to throw this one at you.
There is not a vicious side to us.
Let me explain to you what this is.
If you ever had an exterminator, the exterminator comes and says, Well, we're going to go after the source of the bed bugs.
We're going to go after the source of this.
We're going to do this and that.
And we're going to make sure that we're going to go back to the we're going to go back to the nest.
And we're going to make sure that the new, we kill the babies and the new.
And they seem almost like, no, they're exterminators.
We want to be exterminators figuratively, never violent, but we want to destroy the ideology that is killing us.
And what do we do?
The first thing that we do is, and nobody will address this, we don't go after young people.
Why does some, if somebody's watching us right now, what young person is going to be interested in what we're saying?
Prayer claws and deep sets and deep, I mean, it's true.
I mean, what you're saying is not at all false, but what young person is interested in this?
Can you think of anything?
Can you?
No.
What is it?
What would make somebody, what would make some young person?
You know, Mom Danny talks to young people.
He says things that are wrong in practice, yet comforting in theory.
And he speaks in a tone that feels to them bold.
He serves a menu of emotional bullshit and solutions, not structural ones.
And Republicans, instead of offering a counter menu, what do they do?
They offer a groan.
That's a suspiration, by the way.
That is ZDS.
That is Zoron derangement syndrome.
The Republican brain shuts off.
Rage replaces thought, synchrony, strategy.
Meme replaces math.
Tell them.
Tell them.
You can't beat a movement with a meme.
You can't beat a charismatic socialist with a weak insult.
I ask you again, this is the most important.
Nobody wants to talk about.
In the last, and this is critical.
In the last election, the last election that we had in New York City, what was it that the Republicans or whoever put up against Zoran Momdani?
Tell me.
Tell me.
Anybody want to venture a guess?
I'll tell you.
First one was Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat.
The Republicans forgot he was a Democrat.
The Democrats ask, why are the Republicans pushing for the Democrat?
Maybe he's not really a Democrat.
Hey, maybe you're on to something there.
Let me say this again.
Let me bring this to your attention again.
The Republicans put up a Democrat.
Why?
Because the rules have changed.
Because Cuomo, as a Democrat, that was the old Cuomo.
Cuomo is a party hack.
Do you understand this?
He is a party hack.
He is a guy whose daddy was the governor.
He was a guy who's been around.
He's got more emotional.
He's got steamer trunk emotional baggage.
He's got more issues, but it doesn't matter.
I think he's come around.
I think he realizes that he's like my age.
He realizes, screw this, because he's got some crazy idea of being president.
I don't know.
Could be, but what are you going to do?
So he comes along.
Okay?
Good.
So he comes along and blah-dee-dah.
There he is.
Now, here's what's interesting.
They then have this story, which is even more fascinating.
And let me explain this one to you.
Maybe this is even neater.
Then they come up with Curtis Liwa.
Now, Curtis Liwa, I have said this repeatedly.
I have known him for 32 years.
He is a friend of mine.
I've never said anything bad about him.
Personally, I like him.
Politics is weird.
Look, if he thinks he just ruined this city, but what are you going to do?
I could talk to him, Curtis, the politician, versus Curtis, the person.
Everybody else is getting all their panties in the wad.
And especially, some people feel that somehow by hating Curtis openly, it builds their status.
But Curtis Lee, what ain't the problem.
Curtis Lee, what ain't the problem.
The problem is that the Republicans have nothing to offer.
I have been to a number of, how do I say this?
I never was a part of a Republican club.
They used to have these great clubs.
The McManus Club.
They had these, the McManus here on the West Side.
They have these, from the days of, not Tammany, but so I went to a couple of these things.
First of all, Republicans.
You know what they do?
They sit around, they drink, they take selfies of themselves, and they just think, aren't we hot?
Aren't we cool?
And they couldn't tell you the first thing about politics.
Democrats are mad.
And they hope to get invited to the Newsmax Christmas party.
I mean, I'm serious.
To them, politics is kind of like a groupie thing.
Young Republicans, a little bit more hope there, but still nothing really to land on.
Why?
Because they can't even tell you what it is that they like.
They can't tell you what their story is.
They can't tell you what the basis of this is.
That's the problem.
Let me see this.
Oh, Sparky said the picture was of the actual Sparky, half border collie, half Chihuahua.
He was a brainiac and lived to the ripe age of 60.
Oh, I love border collies.
Oh my God.
I have gotten into more.
Oh, timeout.
I don't have a dog.
I love dogs.
I don't play golf.
I love golf.
Love to watch golf.
I don't want to do it, but I like it.
And they had this thing where dogs, dogs, would be sitting next to the owner and the owner would call the dog's name.
Let's say it's Sparky.
So the dog's next to him and the owner says, Sparky, and the dog is up like, what the hell's going on here?
Sparky.
And he's looking and the dogs are freaked out.
Which goes to show me a level of cognition that we kind of forget in a very strange way, in a very kind of a unique way.
They're yelling for Sparky and Sparky's wondering, what the hell's wrong with my old man?
Why is he doing this?
They showed another one too.
There was a woman.
This is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
Three dogs they haven't seen their mother, their owner, in three months.
And this woman is sitting there, she has these signs, kind of like, you know, the Dylan with the subterranean, whatever, you know, with the posters.
And she writes, this woman has been away for three months taking care of her granddaughter, and the dogs don't know what happened.
The dogs just, mother's not there anymore.
So they're just sitting there looking, I don't know if they're listless or bored.
And the next card says, the mother's coming home today after three months, the mother, the owner.
And the dogs know the sound of her car.
So after three months, you see this card.
Here she comes.
Now, the dogs obviously don't know this because they're dogs.
They hear the car after the first amount of three months after all these cars that have been there.
And they go berserk.
Ape shit crazy because it's incredible, which makes you wonder if that's not what we call fondness.
I don't think they always said the association was that of food.
That the part of the brain that was accessed was that of survival.
And I don't know.
If that's not love, I don't know what is.
I don't know what that means.
Sparky says, not mocking the devout, just ribbing the haters.
I'm semi-retired from inventing, so I throw the prayer rug ideas out there in case someone can use them.
Two million Muslims out there and tech is cheap.
Yes, it's true.
And Sparky says, correction, 2 billion.
Yeah, 2 billion indeed.
I'll tell you one thing.
There were a lot of folks.
Let me go back and say this again and listen to what I'm saying.
Going back to the other one.
When, before Zoron, listen to me carefully.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Before Zoron, when all this stuff was going on with young people at Harvard and people protesting and all this kind of jazz, a lot of people were saying, you know, this Israel may be overreaching.
The Kafiya is beautiful.
Palestinians got a point of view.
This is indeed crypto-Islamophobia.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then Zoran.
Different story.
Zoron.
People walking around with a lot of Linda sarsurs screaming and yelling.
Recess for a while.
And remember what I'm telling you.
And you can laugh all day long.
Remember when a man, if a man wore an earring years ago?
Remember that?
Man wore an earring?
Remember that?
It was a weird, what are you, a pirate?
Then everybody had an earring, then they got bored.
I had an earring, took mine out, it was boring.
Everybody's got one not interested.
They were interesting at first.
Why?
Because they were different.
Because you said it and I said, hey, look at me.
But things kind of change.
So anyway, people all of a sudden say, hey, this is great.
After you get a Times Square filled with veiled women, and I'm sorry, I'm not saying this makes sense.
I'm telling you the reaction.
When you get a bunch of veiled women in Times Square with scientists say Sharia law is coming, whether it's the correct word or not.
Goodbye, Palestinian sentients.
Goodbye.
What is this?
Well, that's a bit.
Who are these people?
Well, are these the Palestinians?
No, they're not Palestinians.
Those are Muslim.
Wait a minute.
They're arguing the Palestinian cause?
Well, yeah.
The people who want to take over my city are Palestinian?
Well, no.
You see what I'm doing?
Do you see what I'm doing?
Do you see what I'm doing?
You see how this thing works?
You have to ask yourself, what is it that people associate with a particular cause?
What do people associate with Trump?
Why do people not like Trump?
Understand it.
Grasp it.
You don't have to agree with it.
What is it about Trump that people don't like?
What is it that young people don't like?
I keep saying you can't win an election or changing thought by saying he is bad.
You win with, here is a better plan that solves the problem you care about or dissecting the insanity of what he's saying.
And you win by explaining ideas in a way that doesn't sound like a lecture from some old uncle or something.
Remember when, I don't know about you, but is everybody cool with Trump opening fire on Venezuelan boats?
No.
I don't know who these people are.
No.
No.
And what do the Republicans do to others who say, wait a minute, can we do that?
They just say, shut up.
They're drug dealers and that's it.
So here right now is a way we have to look at this.
We have to look at how these things work.
We have to examine the points.
We have to look at them.
We have to dismantle them.
We have to counter with real life policy, real numbers, real alternatives, not just cheap shots.
No reflexive name calling, no lazy outrage.
This is the guy.
And you can't keep using the word socialism.
When you were a kid, does socialism mean anything to you?
When you use the term socialism, does it matter?
Does it really matter?
Seriously speaking, ask yourself the question.
Ask yourself the question.
Seriously speaking, when you talk to somebody who's 20 years old, 18 years old, and you want to get them young, and the best you can come up with, Zoran is a socialist.
What does that tell you?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Especially when you say people, because they people, he's not a socialist because he uses the word democratic socialist.
Now, you can read this.
You know, how many of you great folks, did you ever take problems with American democracy when you were a kid, honey?
Did you ever have that in school?
Yeah, I mean, something we had to take this mandatory civics class.
It was this, okay, okay.
And it sounds kind of dull, but it's really not.
It's almost like saying, and you've heard this before sometimes in people that come along.
There's a joke where they'll say, football.
Football in the UK is kicking a ball with your foot or your head or something else.
Football in the United States, you really throw the ball, you kick it a little anyway.
So we spend more time explaining what that means and explaining.
And the first thing to do, the first thing, I'll never forget this.
Maybe you've heard this.
I have a relative, and he was getting his first paycheck, first paycheck, and he was going to get X amount an hour and all this stuff.
And he didn't know.
Actually, he worked for Publix in Florida.
So he got his paycheck, opened it up, and he looks up and his heart dropped.
He goes, What the hell is this?
I said, Oh, those are taxes.
What?
Now he lives in Florida.
It's just federal.
In New York, you got New York State and you got New York City.
New York City, and then Jersey, you got state.
I mean, is it now?
Do you want me to talk about big government?
You want me to talk about taxation?
And I asked him, I said, where did your money go?
What happened to you?
That's your money.
You earned it.
Where does it go?
Taxes.
What taxes?
Taxes for what?
Did you sign on for that?
Do we ever do that?
Do we have any interest in that?
No.
Do we explain this to anybody?
No.
We never do this.
We never explain anything to young people.
And it's the dumbest, and I can't say this enough.
Let me give you an example.
Why, if I said, why Mom Donnie's ideas land with young people?
This is why they make sense.
So before you got to dismantle his ideas, you need to understand why they, why they land, why they make sense in the first place.
Young voters in New York and around the world are not drawn to socialism because they read Marx by candlelight.
They're drawn to it because their reality feels hostile.
Rent eats their paycheck.
Transit is slow.
Groceries, groceries cost more every month.
The city feels stacked against them.
The politicians talk about nothing changes.
Mom Donnie walks in and says, I hear you.
I see you.
Here is help.
He doesn't lecture them about responsibility.
He doesn't say, pull yourself up.
He says the system is broken.
He promises sweeping relief.
He offers simplicity, even if it's false simplicity.
Young voters love clarity.
They hate this bureaucratic fog.
They want a clean sentence, not a paragraph of qualifiers.
Does that make any sense to you?
Is that grabbing?
Does that make any sense?
Because the bottom line is simply this, my friend.
I don't think people understand how this thing works.
And I don't know why people don't get it.
I don't know why they don't see it.
And I don't know why nobody's apparently trying to change anything to fix it.
And you and I can talk about this all day long.
And you and I can talk about this and the deep state and parallel development.
It doesn't matter.
What are we offering?
What are we offering them?
What do we think?
What are we about?
I don't know.
Even we are so disparate.
Even we are so absolutely cosmically all over the place that we don't know what the hell we're talking about.
And as long as we do this, we're going to keep repeating this over and over again.
New Jersey, I know you may not care about New Jersey, but something happened there in New Jersey.
And you know what's happening?
Everybody's so afraid.
They were so afraid because they were told, don't talk about election denial.
Don't talk about that because of that post-Dominion crap.
Don't talk about election denial.
And nobody on TV will talk.
Nobody, whatever TV is.
TV is such a waste of time.
Nobody is doing this.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Nobody cares about this.
So let me ask you something.
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do about this?
I have no earthly idea.
All I'm saying is simply this.
We are the biggest.
We are an anachronism.
We live in a world that doesn't make any sense.
And instead of trying to do it, and I'm going to keep saying this over and over again.
Let me ask you something.
Why would you be attracted to Trump now?
Why?
Why would you do it?
Do you have, does anybody have a young person in your family where you've got to try to explain to them?
It's like, what's going on?
You want to, what's going on?
Where do you think this, first of all, don't get wrapped up in this gender stuff?
That's bullshit.
That is an extreme, an extreme, how do I say this?
That is off the rail.
Those are outliers.
Don't think that.
Don't think that for a moment.
But ask yourself this question.
Where did this come from?
Who controls it?
Nancy Pelosi never pushed gender.
Biden didn't really push it.
He kind of accepted it when he was walking around half-lucid.
Where do you think it came from?
Where do you think it came from?
This is the part that's the most important.
This is the part that is the most important and critical.
And this is something.
Remember that I'm telling you this.
I would think of Mamdani as being the greatest gift to our side that anybody could ever have.
I would start saying, never say the word socialist, but I would talk about free buses.
Free.
And take that.
That's the easiest one.
And destroy it because it doesn't make any sense.
I would never say his name.
I would always say his handlers, the people that told him to say this, the people that are responsible for pushing this.
You see what I'm saying?
That's it.
Now, I also have to ask you a question.
I don't want to do this.
You must like my video.
I'm sorry.
I hate when people do that.
It's so, it's so pathetic.
It's kind of unseemly.
It's like, please like me, please.
But I want you to do it.
It's critical that you do it.
Because whenever I open my mouth for some reason, people, I have to remind you, because in order to build our movement, I need more people liking it.
It's that simple.
I need more people liking this.
I need more people involved in this.
I need more people.
It's just the damnedest thing.
And I wish there was a different way around it, but there's no way.
So please like the video.
But let me just tell you this much.
And let me remind you something, which is very, very critical.
This is really, really, really sad.
Okay.
And I'm going to just tell you this.
You and I can talk about this all day long.
And I appreciate it.
We have fun.
And I like talking about this because it's a chance for us to discuss the various goings on in the world and to talk about these things and to chat and talk.
And many of us have been friends for years and it's great.
And I love this.
And that's what's so terrific about this.
But there's something even bigger than this, something that's for our children and grandchildren, whoever the hell's out there.
We have to start waking people up and saying, listen, you Democrats and Republicans, Democrats, I can't really help you.
But Republicans, since you ostensibly are on our side, we don't know what you're thinking.
We really don't know what you're thinking.
We honest to God don't know what you're thinking.
We don't know what you're about.
We don't know what you're saying.
You speak in platitudes.
Ronald Reagan is dead.
Rush Limbaugh is dead.
I know there's a wonderful, he's a great, he's a wonderful man.
He'll always live on.
But I'm telling you, these people, these people that you talk about right now, it's a different time.
It's a different era.
It's music changes, styles change, people change.
A lot of things change.
You're going to have to understand and recognize the fact that if we're going to draw people in, we have to have a different attitude.
Plus, we have to, when we talk to people, we have to explain some things, and that is that things are different.
Big time different.
Sparky says, although we lived through the austere 1970s Malays era, at least we had great music and women.
I feel sad for millennials and Zoomers.
You know, I think I got to tell you something, Sparky.
I think there's a lot to be said for that.
There's, have you ever, have you ever seen those things, honey, those pictures like girls in the 70s?
Like, there were pictures of girls in high school pictures or girls.
They look like girls.
Girls at the beach, girls, you know, bell bottoms.
And we didn't see this horrible, all this phony and plastic and tattoos and plastic surgery and fake and androgynous.
I'm sorry.
Remember when they went so crazy about Sidney Sweeney?
I don't know why, but maybe they did.
What would they have done, Sparky, if they'd have had the Farah Fawcett poster?
Remember that one?
People went ape shit over the Farah Fawcett poster.
I think it was because it was more like a rite of passage, but somebody actually celebrating what one could say would be considered heterosexual, whatever you want to call it.
People thought nothing of it.
Today, oh no.
Today they're trying so desperately.
Why is why does, I mean, you've seen her Kamala's stepdaughter keep pushing herself as this model.
She doesn't.
Others do.
Well, she's sitting in front of a camera, in front of a bathroom.
She's putting herself up and she's pretending like this is, they're trying desperately to.
That's what I'm saying.
These people are, there's this, there's this belief system that this androgynous, androgynous kind of always horrible.
Let me tell you something.
And I know nobody wants to talk about this, but I do.
In the 1960s, when Playboy magazine came along, Hugh Hefner said, I remember later on, he was a complete shit.
I realized that.
But maybe then, but when the magazine came up, he said he was motivated mostly by the 1940s sense of romance.
That's what he liked.
And Playboy to him was always the girl next door.
Playing volleyball, happy, smiling, not almost tame.
Everything was kind of hidden, sort of, except for it was, granted it was nudity, granted might be exploitation.
Playboy used to talk about how to mix a drink, stereos, what's the best car, hi-fi, Robert L. Green, fashion.
My friend and I used always joke about thank you, Robert L. Green, whenever there would be, we would kid each other about fat.
Anyway, Playboy, Girls of the Big West.
They had the Playboy Jazz Festival.
They had the interview section.
They had poets.
They had Shel Silverstein.
It was more.
And the whole, they had this thing about what kind of man reads Playboy.
Remember that?
It was this one section.
And it was a man who knows taste.
And it was always about treating women ostensibly, theoretically, you know, respectfully.
That's the way that's that, whether it's bullshit or not, it's a different story.
Okay.
Something happened.
Something happened.
I don't know when.
I don't know what exactly.
I don't know when the moment was.
But we live in a world right now that is so where the idea of sexuality, courting, all that stuff is just done.
And there are young people who will never know what it is.
A love letter, romance.
To them, it's hooking up.
You know what it is.
And Sparky, I think you would agree.
Is that progress?
I don't think so.
There was a book I had years ago.
It was called The Greatest Love Letters or something like that.
It was Napoleon, you know, I mean, just you read this.
John Adams, just incredible.
Sullivan Ballou's greatest, the Civil War.
So we're living in a world, I do agree.
I can't help you too much with that.
That's a cultural thing.
But if you want to make things change, we have to recognize specifically that of politics.
So let me just leave it at that one.
And let me thank you so much.
Sparky, you are terrific.
I've missed your witticisms.
Thank you, my friend, for your kindness, generosity.
Edie, thank you for yours as well.
Lori Cuck, ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
I appreciate that immensely.
Appreciate that.
Let me see here.
What else we got?
Who else?
Oh, sorry about it.
Okay.
Mrs. L will be doing a live at five today, so stay tuned.
Make sure you follow her at Lynn's Warriors.
Edie, thank you again.
Dickie, thank you.
And yes, yes, yes, yes.
In any event, oh, the golden age of the bachelor was great.
Well, yeah, I guess there was the whole notion of the bachelor.
I don't know if people even understand what the bachelor means.
There's Carla says, happy Sunday.
Follow Mrs. L.
Yes, Carla.
Yes.
And be careful, you globetrotter.
Be careful with the demented, the world out there.
It's very serious.
What I see happening in the world, I think, is a very, very, very scary thing.
I really do.
I see it as being very scary.
And I see, believe it or not, I see a lot of things happening which are problematic in that.
I mean, you and I know what it is.
We've seen it.
It's a total, it's this weird kind of a dissolution, a destruction of sovereignty, of culture.
It goes by so many different names.
And when you tell people this for the first time, they think you're out of your mind.
They think, you know, really, it's like this guy's really crazy.
I'm not crazy.
You know it.
I know it.
We know it.
We are a different breed.
You know that, right?
I know that sounds corny, but we are a different breed.
We live in a world that is completely different from most people.
And the reason why is that we've been kind of schooled differently.
It's one of those things, I hate to say it, but it's one of those things where I think I don't know what it is.
I think I've told you my story enough: my red pill moment.
Mrs. L is just immersed every day.
She's got to deal with the world of big tech and what's happening to kids.
It put it this way: if you knew what she knew, you wouldn't be able, you wouldn't believe what's going on.
And how many people seem to care nothing about it?
I am convinced, I am convinced that Hollywood is a Potemkin village.
It is a group of people who pretend to be doing something.
It is a bunch of, I don't know what the word is, a bunch of stuff, pillars.
And look, there's the Congress.
They don't do anything.
They're not interested in that.
They want to make sure that they stay in power.
And I kind of dig it, but that's the way it is.
And it's very, very sad.
So, what we need to do is, like I said, we need to recruit new people.
And we also, by the way, did we ever figure out who killed Charlie Kirk?
No.
Anybody talk about that?
Candace Owens seems to be on charge of that.
Candace better kind of watch herself.
I really think she's so she's kind of losing it.
I know people like her and I appreciate that.
She's very, very, very smart, but she's really losing.
She's getting caught up in the anger and this kind of like, I don't know what it is.
And that's okay.
But remember, the problem sometimes, you got to ask yourself, the problem with this stuff is you got to ask yourself, what's next?
What's my next trick?
You know what I mean?
What am I doing next?
At any event, dear friends, thank you so much.
Have a great and a glorious day.
Thank you so much.
Follow Mrs. L at Lynn's Warriors.
Don't forget to follow our sister station at Lionel Legal.
And until you and I meet each other again, remember, this is your oh, oh, oh, and uh, remember, uh, Monday through Fridays, 1 a.m. to 5, overnights, WABC.
It's great stuff.
Until then, my friends, remember these wonderful words, this final valedictory.
Remember the monkey's dead?
The show's over.
Sue ya.
