Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. Did it feel like Christmas this year? Did it feel like it? It didn't really feel like it.
And I am talking to people with large families and
Speaker 2 beautiful homes. This is not
Speaker 2 one of those like being a bitter guy things.
Speaker 2 This is taking the temperature of many different demographics of people. And across the board, I would say people were kind of feeling the same thing, that it just felt
Speaker 2
less like Christmas than it had. And a friend of mine had a theory about that, and she might be right.
She's not
Speaker 2 alone in this thought,
Speaker 2 that we put so much energy.
Speaker 2 and emotion into the election
Speaker 2 that the holidays this year felt kind of like a hangover because the election was such a big, emotional, momentous event for people that once we got to the holidays, it's kind of like who cares?
Speaker 2 It's kind of become a big
Speaker 2 ball of who cares. A lot of people in pajamas and there's being lazy.
Speaker 2 People are ordering in.
Speaker 2 There's all kinds of articles about that people just don't want the formality of the holidays.
Speaker 2 I mean, if you look at your Instagram feed, people are just, you know, they're in pajamas and it's very cash.
Speaker 2
The whole thing's very casual. And maybe that's good.
Maybe that, maybe we should all just live in pajamas.
Speaker 2 But it's a very casual
Speaker 2 holiday now.
Speaker 2 And it seems like that seems to be the, what's been decided by people that it's going to be a casual holiday. And it's not going to feel formal, which is okay.
Speaker 2
I don't know if that's good or bad. I just know that people seem to be giving up on everything across the board.
I mean, it seems like it. The food, how they look, the house.
the gifts.
Speaker 2 It seems like people across the board are kind of giving up on these events and their attitude seems to be, so what?
Speaker 2 So what?
Speaker 2 That's their attitude. Give the kids some garbage and then sit
Speaker 2 in your house in a onesie
Speaker 2 and watch torched on Netflix to roast to 2024, which no one's watching.
Speaker 2
I'm just kidding. Maybe they are.
I'm asking if people are watching it.
Speaker 2 Remember, let me be very clear. If you invite me to do your thing and even the smallest part of me doesn't like it, I'm going to publicly destroy it and make your life a living hell.
Speaker 2 Ask the producers, a joker, ask these people, if even a small part of me, for whatever reason, doesn't even have to be a good reason, finds that my time has been wasted.
Speaker 2 Okay, my very valuable time I could spend driving around or looking at houses I have no intention of buying or all the things I did spend my time doing.
Speaker 2 If I feel even for a second that my time was where I will go on a scorched earth campaign against whatever you have spent years working on.
Speaker 2 I have no respect for whatever you've done. I will publicly drag your name through the mud and the name of your family.
Speaker 2 Your children will get attacked at school and they will come home bleeding and you will go what happened
Speaker 2 tim dylan said you made a shit movie and i got jumped
Speaker 2 i will i will direct the anger of this country at you all the uncertainty about the drones and whatever food insecurity or poverty income inequality i will direct it all at you and whatever you've done and wasted my time with be careful
Speaker 2 I hope this doesn't dissuade you from hiring me. I really hope that,
Speaker 2 because it puts a good amount of pressure on you, but I will be very clear, I will be a problem.
Speaker 2 I will turn the people in the production against you one by one.
Speaker 2 I will start a whisper campaign about things you may or may not have done to an intern in a green room. I will never stop
Speaker 2 if I feel even slightly that I'm not being taken care of, that I have been paid unfairly, that my time has been wasted, or if I just slightly have creative differences with you.
Speaker 2 If I have even the smallest creative difference with you, I will attack the production using sock puppet dummy accounts across the internet. I will hire people in foreign countries to spam.
Speaker 2 every
Speaker 2 corner of the internet until the consensus has been reached that you and your project are a failure and should never work again.
Speaker 2 If I even feel for a second that you were mean to me at the coffee truck
Speaker 2 while I was getting my coffee, if you were dismissive of me at the coffee truck, I will begin a nightmarish campaign against you. It will be like nothing you've ever seen.
Speaker 2 CIA level manipulation.
Speaker 2 And again,
Speaker 2
I don't want you to not hire me because of that. I want you to involve me in what you're doing.
Just make it good and treat me nice. And that's why I will say Torched was very lovely.
Speaker 2
I have no problem with the people at Torched. Is it the greatest thing ever? Hey, you decide.
You decide. But it was fun to play that dead guy who got shot.
And I like Netflix for doing that.
Speaker 2
And thank you. So I have nothing bad to say about them.
But that's no indication that the next thing I am asked to do will not result in a full,
Speaker 2 it's the last episode of the year. So that's, I'm just putting it, I'm laying my cards on the table, okay?
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2
much like Amy Schumer did when she found out Nikki Glazer was hosting the Golden Globes, she ordered this drone attack. This is what's happening right now.
This is the actual reason for the drones.
Speaker 2 Amy's got the drones over the Beverly,
Speaker 2 whatever that's called, the Beverly, where did Whitney come, that? Not Whitney.
Speaker 2 Whitney Houston.
Speaker 2 Where did she check out in the tub?
Speaker 2 That's where they have the Golden Globes, isn't it? Where Whitney Houston drowned in the tub.
Speaker 2 The Beverly Wilshire? No, the Beverly Hilton?
Speaker 2
The Hilton family owns it. And then, yeah, yeah, the Beverly Hilton, where Whitney Houston, the Drown in the Tub is where they have the Golden Globes.
I hope they do
Speaker 2 like a memorial to her. They bring out the tub, the Golden Tub.
Speaker 2 What if someone sings from Whitney Houston's tub? Is that how Nikki should start the Golden Globes in Whitney Houston's tub that she drowned in? And say, hello, everybody.
Speaker 2
I've been watching Nikki do her jokes, and she's crushing all over town. She's one of those comics I really love to watch.
I think she's
Speaker 2 just amazing. And we wish her great luck, and I think she's going to murder it there.
Speaker 2 And I will be hosting the Golden Corral Awards, where we reward homeless people for their level of creativity and ingenuity during this time.
Speaker 2 That's what it is. There's a rift
Speaker 2 happening right now on the right, and it involves tech and it involves immigration.
Speaker 2
Elon Musk, who just came out in favor of Ozempic and Wagovi, because he's gotten to be a little bit of a fatty bumbati. And he's saying, wait, those drugs are good.
And we know who is it, don't we?
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2
we're seeing infighting. Now there's no one left to fight with.
You got to realize the Trump people like to fight. The whole thing's about fighting.
The entire ethos of the thing. Trump is a brawler.
Speaker 2
He's a masterful politician, but he's amazing on the ropes. He punches.
He's great.
Speaker 2
He's a fighter who you cannot count out. He keeps coming back.
But also, that, that also, it spreads throughout the organization, and all of the people
Speaker 2 are trying to curry favor with Trump or emulate Trump by also being very aggressive. And
Speaker 2 so, here's what's happened: the Democrats now obviously have lost, and they seem pretty incapable of mounting any type of,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2 reasonable
Speaker 2 resistance, whatever you call it, whatever you want to call the,
Speaker 2 you know, the people that are in opposition to things that Trump wants to do, the Democratic Party hasn't figured out how to do it because they need to, as I talked about a few weeks ago, burn the witches.
Speaker 2 A lot of these media types that are not really good
Speaker 2 at
Speaker 2 putting out this message.
Speaker 2 It's this weird circular firing squad where every podcast's like, how did this happen?
Speaker 2 How did this happen? Who's to blame? And they just fight about
Speaker 2 how it happened.
Speaker 2 And they are how it happened.
Speaker 2 You are how it happened. The people talking about how it happened,
Speaker 2 you're how it happened.
Speaker 2
You were the guardians of the message. You were to bring that.
You were the media surrogates. You failed.
You did a terrible job. You're not good at what you do.
Speaker 2 You need to fall on the sword.
Speaker 2 This is a very Japanese, a beautiful Japanese custom, which looks at, you know, we have a very negative attitude about unaliving here in America, but in certain cultures, they believe it is,
Speaker 2 you know, somewhat necessary and actually a way to kind of atone.
Speaker 2
There was a Japanese guy who fucked up a plane. The whole plane went down.
And then he said, Puku, out. He, you know, because he was great shame.
Speaker 2 We're off on a tangent, but the point is, the point is that what I'm saying, I'm not saying everyone in the media should take their own life. I'm saying,
Speaker 2 turn the mirror on oneself, yes,
Speaker 2
might be good. Stop fighting.
Well, how did it happen? Well, it's disinformation. No, it's you, you suck, and we hate you.
Speaker 2 Everyone hates you.
Speaker 2 No one believes that anymore, that people can hate them and be right.
Speaker 2 People might hate you and be correct.
Speaker 2 There's a real theater kid energy that got unleashed in this country and it's infected every part of it.
Speaker 2 And as somebody who was a genuine theater kid, meaning I was in real things, not like my high school theater job, I was an actor as a child. Acting theater, it's a brutal blood sport.
Speaker 2
and it's supposed to be mean. And the people who make it have to suffer through the indignities of failure to get good.
That's why they're good.
Speaker 2 The theater kid energy that got unleashed, I don't know if it was glee, I don't know what to blame it on, but it happened around the 2010s. What started to happen was
Speaker 2 everything in this country became a recital.
Speaker 2 Everything became about you, it's about me.
Speaker 2 It's about me. And you were cheered on no matter how
Speaker 2 big
Speaker 2 your,
Speaker 2 how big the chasm was between the talent you thought you had
Speaker 2
and the talent you actually had. We had to cheer you on.
We had to clap and say, good job, good for you.
Speaker 2
And then, you know, just showing up is 90% of that. No, it's not.
No, it is not that.
Speaker 2
What is that quote? It's 90%. It's nothing.
Showing up's almost nothing. Stay home.
And what happened was it has infected everybody. It's not only
Speaker 2
the hordes of talentless garbage people that were forced to endure in entertainment and media. It's a political consultant.
It's just a celebration of mediocrity.
Speaker 2
And how dare you suggest anyone is bad at their job? How dare you suggest anyone is terrible at their job? That job means so much to them. They worked so hard.
They didn't. They didn't.
Speaker 2
But it's the theater kid energy. It's this idea of like, oh, I am here to be, you know, and it's like, you suck.
Some of you are terrible and need to stop. And no one will tell you.
Speaker 2 It's an act of love.
Speaker 2 It is an act when your child gets off that stage. It is an act of love to sit them down and go, honey, this ain't for you.
Speaker 2
It is an act of love and parents will no longer do it. I know the biggest losers in the world.
Thank you, Lord. Somehow I do.
Biggest losers in the world. Thank you, Jesus.
Speaker 2 I know a lot of the biggest losers in the world. And they're all united by the fact that their parents heap praise on them for nothing.
Speaker 2
Oh, you got a flight to San Diego. Good for you.
It's good for you.
Speaker 2 We celebrate the
Speaker 2
mediocrity. And it's people's brain.
Sit your children down and tell them no. Tell them no.
You are not good at this.
Speaker 2
The other people in the, in the thing were better than you in the play. They were better than you.
I don't know why you're bad at it.
Speaker 2 Maybe it's your innate ability or maybe you don't practice, maybe you don't take anything seriously. You're a goofball,
Speaker 2
but you're not good at this. And if you keep doing this, you're going to live a lie.
I want you to tell them this. I don't care if they're nine.
Do you want to live a lie? Look at me.
Speaker 2 Look at me right now.
Speaker 2 Do you want to live a lie? Because you're lying on that stage to everyone. You're telling them you should be there and you shouldn't be there.
Speaker 2
So all these Democrat surrogates who are terrible at what they do, they're annoying. They're like bad.
People hate, they're making people hate the Democrats even more because of them.
Speaker 2
And they will not exit stage left. None of these people will leave.
They will not go. They will not go find honest work.
Go find honest work.
Speaker 2 Panera is is a great honest job you should have, many of you
Speaker 2
that are out there in the Democrat media space. You're terrible.
You work at Panera. You love the working class so much.
Go make French onion soup with them because you suck. You're bad.
Speaker 2 And now,
Speaker 2 so the Democrats are just fighting about whatever, who to pin this loss on. The Republicans now have no one to lash out at except themselves.
Speaker 2 So it's become a very contentious environment. Elon and Vivek
Speaker 2 have one set of things.
Speaker 2 Bannon and Vance, I believe, have like another. And Vance is kind of in the middle because he's kind of like, he's a venture capital guy, he's a VC guy, but
Speaker 2 he also is kind of
Speaker 2 this,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2 whatever you want to call it, America-first, paleoconservative, more nationalist side of the ticket, which wants closed borders and a lot of trade restrictions and tariffs.
Speaker 2 They want a re-emergence of the American middle class.
Speaker 2 And you have Elon and Vivek,
Speaker 2 who are now in this first big rift. And
Speaker 2 it is playing out like this. The backlash
Speaker 2 escalated on Thursday when Vivek Ramaswamy in a post on X criticized an American culture that he said venerated mediocrity over excellence. Well, I agree with him there.
Speaker 2 Attributing this as one reason for the influx of foreign tech workers. So Vivek and Elon are saying that companies like Apple need to recruit and hire foreign workers.
Speaker 2 This
Speaker 2 flies in the face of everything that the paleoconservative Bannonite wing of the Trump administration has said, which is that we should not be looking outside the borders of this country.
Speaker 2 We should be cultivating and developing talent here. Companies that cannot find American talent or are unwilling to pay American talent, whatever the case may be, should suffer the consequences of it.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 So Ramaswamy went on to say that he hopes Trump's presidency can start an American culture that prioritizes hard work over laziness.
Speaker 2 Tech executives have called for greater access to the widely used immigration visa, arguing that it is necessary to fill high-skilled tech and other specialized jobs.
Speaker 2 Elon Musk, who is the co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, posted on Axe yesterday, and a lot of people are not happy about this.
Speaker 2 This is the first big
Speaker 2 rift. And I don't mean a rift over like,
Speaker 2 should Matt Gates
Speaker 2 be able to have a sex party with the 17-year-old? I mean, this is like, or like, is Tulsi Gabbard,
Speaker 2 you know, fit for the job? This is not a
Speaker 2 rift about a person, a confirmation, or something. This is a genuine ideological difference.
Speaker 2 So this is the tweet that Musk put out there. The number of people who are super talented engineers and super motivated in the USA is far too low.
Speaker 2 That's Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 And he goes, he was born in South Africa. He's a naturalized citizen, urged people to, quote, think of this like a pro sports team.
Speaker 2 If you want your team to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be that enables the whole team to win who's the team
Speaker 2 that's the real question right who's the team
Speaker 2 here's another question and this is it just to
Speaker 2 do tech people love america
Speaker 2 is a fair question i'm not saying they don't i'm asking the question
Speaker 2 Are tech people really excited? When you've spoken to tech people, I'm asking, in your life,
Speaker 2 are they do they love america is that their thing
Speaker 2 that they adore this country or
Speaker 2 do they really really love
Speaker 2 tech
Speaker 2 meaning the things that can be achieved a lot of them are talking about going to mars living forever
Speaker 2 implanting uh merging with ai so that ai doesn't defeat us
Speaker 2 um
Speaker 2 But are they in love with America? And so this is a real question. Are the tech people using Trump to get what they want, to get government contracts, to get money? Do they think they can?
Speaker 2 And by the way, I don't think anyone's going to get one over on Trump. I think Trump has instincts.
Speaker 2 That you can only have if you're a casino magnet raised in Queens, New York. Like, I believe he has instincts about people that are, they're not, even if the, and I'm not saying it is,
Speaker 2 but if elements of the tech community are thinking that they're going to get one over on Trump and use Trump, I don't think Trump will allow that to happen.
Speaker 2 He doesn't allow himself to be used in that manner. I think
Speaker 2 this is becoming the first big rift where we're starting, people are starting to question if the love of trump and his
Speaker 2 um
Speaker 2 uh policies
Speaker 2 is genuine amongst people in tech or are they trying to launder
Speaker 2 their ideas through the maga movement
Speaker 2 does elon really care
Speaker 2 do these guys really care are they do they care about american workers do they care about the country of America more than they care about
Speaker 2 what
Speaker 2 they can
Speaker 2 use this administration
Speaker 2 potentially to do, to accomplish? Because people in tech want to do things.
Speaker 2
They have ideas. Those ideas need money.
Those ideas need
Speaker 2 the permission to happen.
Speaker 2 They need contracts.
Speaker 2 There is
Speaker 2
a question here about, like, I know tech people. I've met tech people.
I have dinner with tech people. Very smart, interesting.
Speaker 2
They don't talk a lot about America, to be honest. They just don't.
They don't really talk about,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2 they have,
Speaker 2
they reference America. It's referenced.
It's part of something, but it's not their main thing.
Speaker 2 They want to terraform other planets. They want to merge with AI.
Speaker 2
They want to live forever. They want to upload their consciousness to it.
They're not really,
Speaker 2 they don't go on and on and on about the
Speaker 2 forgotten middle class, except to say that they should all have UBI. We should give them all crypto, UBI, or whatever that,
Speaker 2 whatever Sam Altman's trying to do over there, where he's giving you biometric crypto when you're born so that you don't have to go to work or whatever the case may be these are all their ideas
Speaker 2 i mean peter thiel who owns andural this is where i get killed but peter thiel who cares at this point right
Speaker 2 andural which is palmer lucky's company palmer lucky is a right-wing guy they're like making drones and then the guy who
Speaker 2 i forget the name of the
Speaker 2 CFO of or something of Andural, who's on the Bilderberg conference, it was saying recently,
Speaker 2 and you could get this article, Bilderberg reinvents themselves for a new age. It's kind of interesting.
Speaker 2 They're modernizing the Bilderberg group, which is this group of leaders in government and academia, media, private enterprise, all get together and decide which way. Yeah, that's it, the Guardian.
Speaker 2 These people are basically deciding how
Speaker 2 the Western world should operate and function.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 they're kind of
Speaker 2 because they've been shrouded in secrecy and conspiracies abound about what they're doing and some of them are probably very legitimate they're now basically trying to maybe have more of a uh
Speaker 2 friendly attitude towards the press and and demystify some of what they're doing but what what caught me in this article here is that if you keep going down
Speaker 2 you have this company,
Speaker 2 Andural, which is a company that makes,
Speaker 2 here we go, the tech luminary and Donald Trump insider Peter Thiel founded the fast-growing robotics company Andural and the booming surveillance and AI giant Palantir. His loyal lieutenant
Speaker 2 Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, was voted onto the board of Bilderberg a few years ago.
Speaker 2 Karp, who claims his company is, quote, responsible for most of the targeting in Ukraine, recently told the New York Times that the U.S. will very likely
Speaker 2 soon be fighting a three-front war with china russia and iran
Speaker 2 that's nice is is that
Speaker 2 and he's a big uh kamala harris fundraiser alex carp
Speaker 2 who is the ceo of of of palantir
Speaker 2 my question is
Speaker 2 if you're making lots of money with the Ukraine war and you believe that the United States is soon going to be in a three-front war with China and Russia and Iran,
Speaker 2 which is a terrifying prospect, would probably end all life on earth. Let's not let that get in the way of the bottom line, but it would kill us all.
Speaker 2
Are these people again? Is that a guy? It's just a question. Don't be mad at me.
Is that a guy
Speaker 2 who's really concerned about like the American worker?
Speaker 2 Or is this a guy who's made a lot of money in drone warfare who thinks that probably it's an inevitability that we have a major world war?
Speaker 2 This is the fight that's going on with elements of the tech community.
Speaker 2 And now it's starting to become clear. And this might be the big fight within the Trump administration is like, are these tech people starting to out themselves?
Speaker 2
Now, by the way, this episode gets demonetized. It's buried.
Watch. I'm saying, but who knows? Or am I wrong?
Speaker 2 Am I wrong?
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 are there just not enough people in this country
Speaker 2 to do any of these engineering jobs?
Speaker 2 And then, you know, well, then
Speaker 2 that kind of flies in the face of a lot of the stuff that Trump and these guys are talking about, about the need to have America be the primary concern.
Speaker 2 Why can't you let my dirtbag friends work as engineers?
Speaker 2 Why not? So what? They're losers. You made them losers.
Speaker 2 You poisoned us all with food. You've driven us all insane.
Speaker 2
Our families are all destroyed. We all grew up in broken homes.
Many of us inhaled asbestos. Some of us ate lead paint chips.
Speaker 2 Some of us were members of youth gangs.
Speaker 2 Some of us were raped repeatedly by authority figures we were told to trust.
Speaker 2 Some of us ate chalupas a lot.
Speaker 2 Why can't you hire us, Vivek Oramalamala?
Speaker 2 Why not?
Speaker 2 So what? We don't know how to work it.
Speaker 2
Train us. Are you saying my friend Ryan's untrainable? When he gets out of jail, you hire him.
You hire him when he gets out of jail.
Speaker 2 Sorry, this is the country you now run.
Speaker 2
The country you now run is filled with people that you may find to be unemployable. I'm sorry about that.
That's part of the reason you were elected. Many of those people are angry.
Speaker 2 But if you cannot turn my friend Ryan in prison right now for meth, if you cannot sales, not doing sales, but I think he also did a little, but you got to, you know, got to test.
Speaker 2 If when he gets out of jail, you cannot get him a job at Apple, then why have a country? Why have a country?
Speaker 2 You should be hiring all of these people that you supposedly care about to work in your precious tech companies.
Speaker 2 You should be hiring them.
Speaker 2 You should walk in a Waffle House and go, congrats, you all work at Google now.
Speaker 2
You all work at Google now. Put that cigarette out.
Things are getting better.
Speaker 2 I'm sorry, it's just what has to happen.
Speaker 2 Vivette goes, our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long. Yo, of course, of course.
Speaker 2 But now you own it. It's yours.
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 2 So he goes, a culture that venerates Corey from Boy Meets World or Zach and Slater over Screech and Saved by the Bell or Stefan over Steve Erklin Family Matters will not produce the best engineers.
Speaker 2 Man, so he's coming out and going, everyone should be a nerd.
Speaker 2 Everyone should be an, I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 2 they listen to this show and I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 2 the tech people, I predicted this.
Speaker 2 More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of friends, more math tutoring, fewer sleepovers, more weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons, more books, less TV, more creating, less chilling.
Speaker 2 How about more white people, less Indians?
Speaker 2 How about that?
Speaker 2 How about more white people, less Indians? Indians didn't come to this country. No offense.
Speaker 2 But if we're going to critique the country, how about more people that actually came to the country and fought in those wars? Was there a lot of Indians that fought in the Civil War? I'm confused.
Speaker 2 I just don't know.
Speaker 2
It sounds like a racist point, but it's actually not. It's been made by people like Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter.
And if they're racist, then I'm racist. No one's racist no more.
Speaker 2
But it's my point. I understand what he's saying.
I wasn't a fan of friends. I liked Frasier.
I understand we need more math competitions and shit like that. But this is the type of shit.
Speaker 2 That is going to eat that movement from the inside. He's basically going out there and saying, by the way, we need to import
Speaker 2 people because no one in this country is up to the task so we need generations
Speaker 2 of people
Speaker 2 what is the sleep what a weird move no sleepo less sleepover what about smart kids having a sleepover this is going to be a big problemo by the way for them it is because these people don't give a shit about america they just don't no offense to these people they just don't i know them they don't care they don't care about the country they It means nothing to them.
Speaker 2 I know these little dead-eyed monster kids.
Speaker 2 And by the way, God bless them.
Speaker 2 But they are not excited about America. They're excited about like, you know, leaving Earth.
Speaker 2 What gets these people going is this idea that we can leave the planet.
Speaker 2 Forget America.
Speaker 2 Earth doesn't really interest them. Earth.
Speaker 2 So the reality is you have an Indian guy lecturing Americans saying that we can't hire any of you. We need to bring in more Chinese people.
Speaker 2 Is that not why people voted for Trump? So they didn't hear that? Couldn't they have heard that from Kamala Harris? Wasn't that the whole point?
Speaker 2 Wasn't the whole point of the Kamala Harris campaign was that Americans should just shut up and die in a shed?
Speaker 2 And now these guys are kind of aping that?
Speaker 2 You know, wasn't the whole point of her campaign that dumb, I mean, that could have been out of the Democratic playbook. Americans are stupid and they can't do anything.
Speaker 2 We got to bring in other people. Sorry.
Speaker 2 So this is a big issue.
Speaker 2 Big issue. Okay.
Speaker 2 For
Speaker 2 them.
Speaker 2 And DJT, Donnie T, as my friend Chrissy D would say, Donnie T needs to reign this in here
Speaker 2 because,
Speaker 2 and I will be in Palm Beach next week, not to see him per se.
Speaker 2 But
Speaker 2
I'm not afraid of you, tech faggots. My godson is Chinese.
He's Chinese. He's Chinese.
And we'll drone your shit.
Speaker 2 I'm just saying, I will be spending a lot of January in Florida.
Speaker 2
And here's the deal. I think Elon and Vivek have some very, very, very, very good ideas about reducing the waste and garbage in government.
And I don't know either one of the person.
Speaker 2
I met Elon at a party once in Texas. I think Elon's got great ideas about free speech.
I think he's incredibly
Speaker 2
important. I think he's taken a reputational hit for defending free speech.
I think it's a patriotic and an American American value and something that's very, very good.
Speaker 2 But whatever this messaging is has to be changed.
Speaker 2 You can't go out there and tell people
Speaker 2 that in order for this country to succeed, we have to love Screech and Urkel.
Speaker 2 I mean, I'm not saying we shouldn't have more math and science and more stuff, but like we can also think the hot guy's cool. The hot guy can also be cool, okay?
Speaker 2
No one fights wars to have more nerds, they fight wars because they want there. There's an American ideal here, and the American ideal is not the nerd.
I'm not saying that nerds aren't great.
Speaker 2
We love nerds. Look at what nerds have done for America.
Isn't everything so great? Isn't it so much better now that you can DoorDash a Taco Bell?
Speaker 2 But
Speaker 2 I'm saying
Speaker 2
that this love affair, I mean, who's this Ramaswamy character? God love him. his messaging is off in a big way, and he's got to change it.
He's got to change it
Speaker 2 because
Speaker 2 the reality of the situation is you're pissing in the faces of
Speaker 2 people in this country who've been here for generations.
Speaker 2
That's all. Sorry.
And if you're going to say that's racist, If you're going to say that's racist, well, then I guess
Speaker 2 people like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon and Ann, and I don't, I will not believe it.
Speaker 2
But it's true. I'm being true.
And Cernovich here, he's right.
Speaker 2 The Woodstock generation managed to build that aerospace. The one before that went to the moon, America was doing great.
Speaker 2 Underlying your post is that we were all living in squalor until being rescued by H-1Bs. And why did everyone want to come here? Cernovich gets, I'm sorry he won with that tweet.
Speaker 2
The VAC, the version of America, the one that used to embody unbridled exceptionalism is exactly what we want to return to. That's the point about culture, not immigration.
And
Speaker 2 we want to return to it by importing more Chinese.
Speaker 2 And they went at Anne. When Ann said she would not elect him because he was an Indian, they went at her.
Speaker 2 But maybe we listen to a Greenwich, Connecticut wasp bitch every now and then, huh?
Speaker 2 What's amazing about this whole show is how not racist it is.
Speaker 2 That's what's amazing about it. That's actually
Speaker 2 they'll study it in the history books because they'll go in.
Speaker 2 You know, you go to the Holocaust Museum, it won't be that important, but they'll come in and everyone will listen on the little things and they'll go listen to this podcast.
Speaker 2
And all the little kids look, it sounds really racist. And they go, no, no, it's not.
It's actually so not racist that we put it in this museum.
Speaker 2
But we have an Indian guy. Sorry, Indians.
Indian guys here now telling Americans that they're pigs and that they can't do anything. That's my job, Vivek.
Speaker 2
That's my job. That's Whitey's job.
Sorry. But no, here's the reality.
Speaker 2
The point about mediocrity isn't lost on me and shouldn't be lost on anyone. But here's the reality.
If your argument is that you cannot
Speaker 2 get American people
Speaker 2 to
Speaker 2 rebuild this country and that it can only be done from outside the borders of this country. You are suspect.
Speaker 2 I'm with you on a lot of what you said, not on the veneration of Urkel, you freak.
Speaker 2
But I'm with you on a lot of what you said. I opened my show, not even reading these articles.
I opened my show about mediocrity. I've said it millions of times.
Speaker 2
Half of these people just ape what I say. It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 What I'm saying is this.
Speaker 2
You to hire my dirtbag friends now and you're to fucking hire them, you stupid fuck. You hire my pig friends.
Hire my pig friends. Now you hire them now.
Speaker 2 You bring them in now, my crooked cop friends, my waddling piggies.
Speaker 2 They come in and you yell for them. You go,
Speaker 2 like a pig call.
Speaker 2 And you come in and you feed them in troughs at Apple and Google. You feed them in troughs.
Speaker 2
You hire the zombie apocalypse, these meth zombies. You created them.
You own them. You hire them.
Now you hire them. You do it.
You figure it out. Figure it out now, the pigs.
Speaker 2
You should be afraid of the workforce. They should terrify you.
The rashes they have.
Speaker 2 You should hire people with rashes because they live by chemical plants and they have burns on their body and they can't explain how it happened.
Speaker 2 You should hire people who claim that they've been probed by UFOs.
Speaker 2 If you can't make them into engineers, get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2
This is a big issue. These are big issues.
These are the big ones, folks. These are the big ones.
Sometimes we report on the small ones, you know?
Speaker 2 Like everyone keeps sending me this, you know, this, oh, this pizza delivery chick stabbed someone. All right.
Speaker 2 All right, I know she did.
Speaker 2
The point is this. She's delivering pizza.
Who cares? The point is this. There is a fight now in this country.
There is a great fight.
Speaker 2 Do we give this country to tech people?
Speaker 2 Do we just hand it over to them and see what they do with it?
Speaker 2
They're basically saying it's inevitable. You have to.
You have to. We run everything anyway.
We control it all. You have to give it to us.
Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 What are these drones?
Speaker 2 Why are they all over the place?
Speaker 2 Is it us? Is it Skunk Works? Is it America?
Speaker 2 Are some of them Chinese or whatever? I speak, I had lunch with a CA agent the other day for three hours who used to be in the CIA. They're not in it.
Speaker 2 Okay. I had a Pokeball.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 they think maybe some of these are, there's a big war for satellite supremacy where
Speaker 2 us in China are blowing satellites out of the sky. And she thought one of these Chinese satellites that got blown out of the sky was maybe
Speaker 2 a navigation system for these drones. However, these drones are still around.
Speaker 2
So maybe it's the United. Maybe it's the United States.
The gaslighting in the media is crazy. They keep going, you're not seeing it.
It's not real.
Speaker 2
They keep saying the things you're seeing are just there. They've always been there.
You're the problem.
Speaker 2 You're some New Jersey animal. You stand on your stoop
Speaker 2 full of booze and pills and
Speaker 2 gala ma.
Speaker 2 Calamara, you say galama when you're from that area.
Speaker 2 How drone fever spread across New Jersey and beyond.
Speaker 2 So what the New York Times does now is just their job, and it's always been, but now it's explicit, is just to tell you that what you've seen with your own eyes is actually mass hysteria.
Speaker 2
It's some type of overreaction. It's some type of mass psychosis.
It's not real.
Speaker 2
What are they going to do? Are they going to nuke the inauguration? Because I might go. I think I'm invited.
Are they nuking it?
Speaker 2 Are the deep CIA freaks going to try to nuke this inauguration?
Speaker 2 I'm not.
Speaker 2 I don't want it.
Speaker 2 Stop with it. What are they doing? What are these fucks doing, by the way?
Speaker 2 Get the drones out of the sky. It's the holidays.
Speaker 2 They don't want him to win. How far will they go?
Speaker 2 We don't know. I don't know if the Trump team knows how nefarious elements
Speaker 2 of the people that really dislike him are. There's some real problems.
Speaker 2 And I had lunch with this person who is no longer in this thing, but.
Speaker 2 There's issues. What are they going to do in the inaugural? I might go to the, I think I'm going.
Speaker 2 Am I in danger by these people? I don't want to be.
Speaker 2
This is the only inauguration I would ever be invited to. So before you yell at me and go, the political one, hey, they will, I would go to any of them and none of them will invite me.
None of them.
Speaker 2 And now maybe, maybe I won't get invited because I've opened my big mouth, but I listen.
Speaker 2 You got to hire my, you got to hire my disgusting, retarded friends, and you have to give them jobs at Apple and Google. And that's the price you pay.
Speaker 2 It's that theater kid energy. It's like
Speaker 2 you now
Speaker 2
have to do a great show. It's like a movie where you have to do a great show with really untalented kids.
And you get to the high school and they all suck.
Speaker 2 And you just have to grit your teeth because they're all Americans. They're citizens.
Speaker 2 You have to grit your teeth. And even though they're going to get up and they're going to go,
Speaker 2 and they sound bad, you got to go, all right, let's fucking work, let's work at it.
Speaker 2
Let's work at it. You have to hire my disgusting moron friends who cannot, who couldn't run a Dunkin' Donuts, who don't know anything.
They are community college dropouts. They are slime.
Speaker 2 They're the worst of the worst.
Speaker 2
They're amoral. They have no morality.
They're amoral. Vicious.
Monsters, bloodthirsty little piglets, one and all.
Speaker 2 Drug addled, schizophrenic, nightmare people.
Speaker 2
That's your workforce. It's your country.
You better take them.
Speaker 2 You better take them and you better turn them into Chinese people.
Speaker 2 That's the goal. You better take my disgusting friends and turn them into Chinese people.
Speaker 2 And if you don't do,
Speaker 2 it's true. If you do not turn my disgusting fat community college dropout legion of skanks, I'll call them my legion of skanks, my friends.
Speaker 2 If you do not turn them into quiet Chinese people, what does the Vec think? Where every show is going to be about Chinese people?
Speaker 2 Less friends. Why isn't everyone on friends Chinese? Why isn't there a white? Why isn't all American culture Chinese? Can you imagine friends? It's all Chinese people.
Speaker 2 Is that fun?
Speaker 2 No one talks. It's quiet?
Speaker 2 What's going on with Rachel and Ross? Who knows? Who's Rachel? Who's even Ross? What's happening?
Speaker 2
The guy wants a Boy Meets World to be Chinese people when you sit down and the Corey does math equations and Topanga walks in with her big tins. He goes, I don't really give a shit.
I'm Chinese.
Speaker 2
It seems racist. No, it's not racist.
It's actually not right. You have to actually listen to it.
This exhibit in the museum is an hour. It's an hour.
Speaker 2 And by the end of it, you realize how not racist it is. Do you get it?
Speaker 2 Benjamin Netanyahu, by the way, had a very good year, and they wrote about this.
Speaker 2 He had a very good year, even though he's been accused of a genocide, and people want to try him at The Hague for war crimes.
Speaker 2 He had a very good year, and I'll tell you right now, this is the power of believing in yourself.
Speaker 2 It really is.
Speaker 2 It's the power of believing in yourself.
Speaker 2 People can say anything they want about you, but the reality is, do you know you?
Speaker 2
People can say anything they want about. Oh, you're a bitch.
Oh, you're fucking, you know what I mean? Like, oh, you talk so much shit. Oh, you're doing a genocide to killing children by the minute.
Speaker 2 But no matter what they say about you, you know who you are.
Speaker 2 You know who you are. So it's about having the confidence to say it's not a genocide.
Speaker 2 It's just a little fire in the desert.
Speaker 2 I mean, this guy,
Speaker 2 they went at him for corruption. They go at him for bombing hospitals.
Speaker 2 All of these things. And you know what he says? He goes, you can talk your shit about me.
Speaker 2 I know why I bombed that hospital.
Speaker 2 So you can talk all the shit you want about me, Jessica.
Speaker 2 But like, I don't give a shit because like
Speaker 2 you don't know what it's like to be me.
Speaker 2 Israel's attorney general has ordered the police to open investigation into the prime minister's wife on suspicion of harassing political opponents. I cannot believe it.
Speaker 2 And a witness in the Israel's leaders' corruption trial.
Speaker 2 By the way, can I ask a little question here? And I'm not trying to be difficult.
Speaker 2 Is there anything left over there to kill?
Speaker 2 I'm curious.
Speaker 2 Who are they still hunting over there? There's like one cat that they haven't lit on fire. What is left? Isn't it all gone?
Speaker 2 Isn't it all gone?
Speaker 2 I mean, is there,
Speaker 2 does this end? Are they, this is like that joke I did where I'm like, kill them all until they're dead, and then when dead, kill them again. I mean, it's like,
Speaker 2 isn't everything, I mean, again, I'm, I'm, maybe I'm not the most educated person here. I would imagine that after a year plus of indiscriminate, large-scale killing,
Speaker 2 there's not a ton left, right?
Speaker 2 It looks, let's get some photos up.
Speaker 2 get some photos up buddy of the Gaza for the new year
Speaker 2 Yeah, it just make that bigger
Speaker 2 This seems
Speaker 2 like
Speaker 2 the job's kind of done, no
Speaker 2 Doesn't this seem but they want to go into Iran they want Trump to co-sign preemptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facility. This is what they want.
Speaker 2 And then all these freaks are going, and we're going to be fighting a three-front war. And
Speaker 2 here's how much money we'll make if we're going to war. And I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 2
I'm telling you right now, we do not need to be in a three-front war with Russia, China, and Iran. I don't know.
Who do I think we are, by the way?
Speaker 2 That we're that all of these things are going to be like, cool.
Speaker 2 I support Taiwan. And let me tell you how far I'm willing to go.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 I'm telling you right now how far I'm willing to go for Taiwan.
Speaker 2 I
Speaker 2 don't care. I will, if China tries to reunify forcibly with Taiwan,
Speaker 2 okay,
Speaker 2 I will
Speaker 2 insult them.
Speaker 2 on this show.
Speaker 2 And that's it. That's where it'll end no blood no treasure
Speaker 2 but I will insult them and it'll be cutting it'll be mean
Speaker 2 I'll say nasty things about them I'll hurt their feelings
Speaker 2 that's how far I'm willing to go I'm willing to hurt China's feelings if they forcibly reunify with Taiwan
Speaker 2
But that's it. I'm not getting in.
We're not doing this.
Speaker 2 We're not going going to fight a war with taiwan we need to make chips in america the that
Speaker 2 so that we don't need to fight a war because if we fight a war with china it is the end of all life on earth i don't know who needs to hear this what do you people think it's going to be
Speaker 2 i i it's the end of all life on earth
Speaker 2
I'm telling you, we cannot do it. We cannot fight a war with China.
We need to chill it the fuck out. We need to chill it out.
I'm president. Here's what I do.
Speaker 2
You get Ukraine. Puts, you get Ukraine.
Xi, you get Taiwan. And we're taking Greenland.
We get Greenland because we're going after Greenland now.
Speaker 2
Sorry. I don't want any of it to happen, but we've got to start making deals.
And here's the deal.
Speaker 2 We cannot fight a war with China. And if they really want Taiwan, as much as I would feel bad for Taiwan,
Speaker 2 I don't know what to do. Does anyone out there know what to do?
Speaker 2 I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 China probably likes Taiwan more than I do.
Speaker 2 They like really like Taiwan. I don't even eat Taiwanese food that much.
Speaker 2 I don't know a ton of people from Taiwan. I know they make the chips for the thing.
Speaker 2 What I'm saying is this.
Speaker 2 I will be sad if China attacks them.
Speaker 2 I will say that's terrible but i you know what i mean but how much more do we want from me or any of us what do you want is that what the vec doesn't want to hire my disgusting friends he wants them to fight china in the south china sea over taiwan or something
Speaker 2 i don't know i'm just saying what what do people think we're gonna do if they invade taiwan
Speaker 2
What are we gonna do? We're gonna fight in the South China Sea. We've not fought a war like that in a long time.
We're not, we're not, it's not, we can't do it.
Speaker 2 It's not going to work.
Speaker 2 So, all of these people like that think that we have the capability of this shit. It's, it's, they, they want a blood holocaust here, and they've been trying to get one going.
Speaker 2 They've been trying to get one going for years. They just want everything to end.
Speaker 2 I don't know why they want this, but I imagine it has to do with like getting rid of a lot of the population and taking a lot of the money and resources for themselves. That'd be a guess.
Speaker 2 But
Speaker 2 it's death, all death, death, if it's us versus China over Taiwan. Sorry.
Speaker 2
They'll sell us to chip. China will sell us to chips when they take over Taiwan.
I'm doing foreign policy now. I'm doing it.
China will sell us the chips as well.
Speaker 2 China will sell us the chips as well.
Speaker 2 And I don't want any instability in the world.
Speaker 2 But I'm telling you right now, we cannot fight a war with China. I would like them to not take over Taiwan, but no one cares what I think.
Speaker 2 Except the people that listen to this show.
Speaker 2 It doesn't really matter what I think.
Speaker 2
We do not, we are not in the position to fight China, Russia, and Taiwan. Russia's got like 4,400 nuclear warheads.
I don't understand the world people are living in, where they're like,
Speaker 2 there's no more, like, remember after 9-11 when that, like, Toby Keith had that song, my neck's been red, my collar's still blue.
Speaker 2 I've always been here.
Speaker 2 It's the red, white, and blue.
Speaker 2 There's no more of that. We're not going to be able to play that.
Speaker 2
It's not going to work. Copyright strikes and drone strikes.
But
Speaker 2 my point is this:
Speaker 2 we need to calm down with those patriotic songs that make us think we're going to fight everybody.
Speaker 2 There should be a song where it's like,
Speaker 2 We wish everyone well.
Speaker 2 Your sphere of influence is yours.
Speaker 2 Do what you will
Speaker 2 and be a a tourist here.
Speaker 2 If you want,
Speaker 2 come here for the holidays.
Speaker 2 Do what you want with Crimea.
Speaker 2 It's not my business.
Speaker 2 By the way, since we've gone to war,
Speaker 2 on like it's so funny now just seeing every white person is like a massive fan of country music somehow because country music was the only place over the last four years of the woke craziness that welcomed Whitey.
Speaker 2 So now everyone I know is like, whether they're from Greenwich, Connecticut, they're like LARPing is like a huge fan of country music and it's disgusting.
Speaker 2 And I like country music and I have a lot of respect for that culture. But there's something weird about like guys from Connecticut who spend the day golfing really into country music.
Speaker 2 It's just the emptiness of
Speaker 2 this particular culture that we've created. I'm not saying you can't appreciate country music, that if you're a white guy from the Northeast, the only
Speaker 2
music you can get into is country music. And you, there's nothing worse than seeing a guy who played tennis all day at a country western bar line dancing.
It's a little disgusting.
Speaker 2 There's something odd about it, but
Speaker 2 it's what happens when one cultural space says, yeah, you can come here and chill and just be white and it's cool. And then all the other cultural spaces go, you're a demon from hell and we hate you.
Speaker 2 And that's why all of these fucking people that I know who have uh
Speaker 2 zero uh overlapping with the country they're all like hey lord in or mirror and it's like guys what's going on here
Speaker 2 what's happening i like country i love james mc murtry i love a lot of these guys but i mean he's he's you know not
Speaker 2 but these guys like these syrupy like metrosexual country stars like bill burner man that great bit about it you know
Speaker 2 but it's just interesting there's something weird about the the the white culture that
Speaker 2
isn't functional. And there's something about when white people start to get confused and start like pretending they're like ranchers.
Like people do it in California.
Speaker 2
There is no cowboys in California. Okay.
Take your ironic cowboy hat off in Malibush doesn't exist. Okay.
Speaker 2 And so you have this like dearth of like any meaningful
Speaker 2 stuff coming out because what really I mean it used to be like we had Nirvana we had cool shit but now you just don't see a ton of that right
Speaker 2 so like country music is a genuinely organically American genre of music with incredibly talented people the other option seems to be either rap which is great or just this kind of pop
Speaker 2 corporate
Speaker 2 whatever so I think if you want anything that has an instrument like a guitar or any type of
Speaker 2
country music. And there's nothing wrong with it.
I'm just saying it's very interesting watching that become the only cultural identity for people that I know from Jersey
Speaker 2
who leave an Italian restaurant and start blasting country music. There's something interesting about that.
Many will study it, many will write about it, and they will not credit me.
Speaker 2 They will not credit me, will they?
Speaker 2
It's hard to do an hour that is as not racist as what I just did. It's very difficult, actually.
It's actually hard to do an hour like that. That's not racist, like that.
Speaker 2
But it's important that we have these fights and that we talk about these things. And it's interesting.
Culture is interesting and how things move is interesting. And
Speaker 2
my friends leaving the golf course and then jamming out to country meet. That's something's going on.
It's worth noting. I'm not saying it's good or bad.
It's worth noting.
Speaker 2 You got to notice things and go, huh, huh?
Speaker 2
Interesting. Why do they feel some kinship? Why do they feel like the only soulful music they have is country music? There's no doubt country music's amazing.
I love a lot of it.
Speaker 2
Dude, George Strait and fucking Brooks and Dunn, all these people are amazing. Toby Keith, all these guys.
Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, whatever.
Speaker 2 Who do I really like?
Speaker 2 Fucking that
Speaker 2
Martina McBride. All these people are great.
They're all great. It's not a knock at all on country music.
Speaker 2 It's just an interesting cultural moment that people are finding that's the only soulful thing left. It isn't just a real like a viral marketing campaign.
Speaker 2 A lot of other music feels, you know, of course, a lot of the people that I know are finding the least soulful country music, as they would.
Speaker 2
That doesn't. But it is interesting.
It's worth noting that that's,
Speaker 2 but it's always kind of happened. You've always seen these people like Mohegan's son in Connecticut in like a country western line dancing bar because they don't have any cult.

Connecticut's like a dearth of cult. They're just, Connecticut's just about being really rich or, I don't know.
I don't know what it is, but they don't know what it is either.
Speaker 2 Lobster and butter on a, on a roll? They, they don't know. So they're just like, hey, hi,
Speaker 2 because they have nothing, you know?
Speaker 2
I find inauthenticity very offensive. Most people don't.
Most people love it and they market it and it makes money. I find it kind of,
Speaker 2 because what inauthentity often leads to is a problem.
Speaker 2 If people have no clue who they are, they have no idea.
Speaker 2 This is the thing when you rip culture away from everybody and go, no, we're going to replace it all with one corporate, bland monoculture that doesn't serve anyone's needs.

Speaker 2 have remembered.
Speaker 2 But it is funny. And remember, as I leave, as I go, I would just let a general warning to all who seek to work with me.
Speaker 2 You're in the scope of my gun.
Speaker 2 If you work work with me for any reason, you are in the scope of my gun.
Speaker 2

It'll be the slightest offense.
Speaker 2 The slightest offense will set me off like you have no idea.
Speaker 2
I will triangulate a campaign. of powerful forces that begin to rob you of the agency you feel like you have.
You feel like you are in control, you are not.
Speaker 2 I will slowly and methodically take everything you care about away.
Speaker 2 Your children will be afraid to go to school because the other kids are attacking them because I have said your project has ruined the world.
Speaker 2 So just know that. And by the way, but the, but, but,
Speaker 2 but here's the flip side of that. I'm kind of fun to have around.
