Ladies and gentlemen, welcome

0:02

to the Tim Dylan

0:04

show, another atmospheric rain

0:07

event here in Los Angeles,

0:09

a storm, cleansing the air

0:12

of the fire, which is

0:14

nice, cleansing the air of the

0:16

hellish fire, should be a

0:19

48-hour strongest storm in a

0:21

year bearing down on

0:23

Southern California, could cause

0:25

flooding. The terms now for

0:28

these are always... You know

0:30

the most extreme

0:32

they're like atmospheric

0:35

You know sky storm. It's never

0:37

like it's gonna rain for

0:39

two days when I grew

0:41

up. It was like it's

0:43

raining and now it's like

0:46

an atmospheric You

0:48

know River or something they

0:50

call it like a What is

0:52

the term for this? It's like

0:55

a river of the Raging,

0:58

even the way they write

1:00

about it, they're like raging

1:02

torrents of rain and

1:04

atmospheric river, they call it.

1:07

What happened to rain? Like

1:09

it was, it's gonna rain

1:11

a lot. Now it's an

1:13

atmospheric river. Raging torrents

1:15

of rock slides and

1:17

mudslides, it can be

1:19

damaging and even deadly. Yeah,

1:22

well that's not ideal. But

1:24

it doesn't help to call

1:26

it an atmospheric river. It's

1:29

like a river is falling

1:31

out of the sky onto

1:33

whatever. That's why I sold my

1:35

house, you know, obviously. Many

1:37

people don't listen to the show.

1:40

They listen, but they don't

1:42

listen, so they come up to

1:44

me and they go, did your

1:46

house really burn down? I go, well,

1:48

it's pretty clear if you

1:50

listened to the words. Now

1:52

I did keep hammering it going my house

1:54

burned down my house burned up, but

1:57

I there was a disclaimer early on

1:59

when I said I sold the house

2:01

and I did. I sold it

2:03

last year because of the atmospheric

2:05

river and torrents of

2:07

raging atmospheric rain, river

2:10

in the sky. The storm is

2:12

arriving through an atmospheric river.

2:15

Atmospheric river storms are long

2:17

plumes of water vapor that

2:19

can pour over from the

2:22

Pacific Ocean into California.

2:25

They carry so much water that they're said

2:27

to be like a river in the sky.

2:29

Just a few atmospheric river

2:32

events can bring California from

2:34

one third to one half

2:36

of its annual precipitation. What's

2:38

nice about this though is we've had

2:40

more rain than we've ever had and

2:42

we still don't have any water to

2:44

fight fires. So that's good that we

2:46

have more water and yet none of

2:48

it when it's needed because we don't

2:50

have a way to trap it and keep

2:53

it or whatever. But that's why

2:55

I saw my home because my home was

2:57

on a cliff. I had a beautiful

2:59

house that overlooked the valley really.

3:02

I mean, my view was towards

3:04

the valley, but I looked at

3:06

some of the hills and Beverly

3:08

Hills and it was pretty. But

3:11

you know, the California mountains

3:13

aren't like Colorado, you know,

3:15

this isn't, you know, a mountain, this

3:18

isn't, this is dirt. The hills

3:20

of California are packed dirt

3:22

that with enough rain, they all,

3:24

you know, there's mudslides, there

3:27

are rock slides, and people, you

3:29

know, Mulholland Drive, which is the

3:31

road that you took to get,

3:33

one of the roads you took

3:35

to get to my house, a boulder,

3:38

slid down, and they

3:40

and destroyed Mulholland Drive,

3:42

and they closed it. And it

3:44

took months and months and

3:46

months to get the road back

3:48

to where you can travel on it.

3:50

And I didn't... Love that I

3:53

didn't like the idea of that

3:55

again. I think it's you know This

3:57

is you know when you expect

4:00

You have to decide

4:02

how much you love.

4:05

This is true.

4:07

When you

4:09

experience significant

4:12

events that

4:15

are out of your

4:17

control, fires,

4:19

floods, hurricanes,

4:22

you have to

4:24

decide how much you

4:27

love. a specific part

4:29

of this country? How

4:31

much you're willing to sacrifice

4:34

for it? Are you okay

4:36

with having a home on

4:38

the west coast of Florida

4:41

if it happens to be

4:43

destroyed? Can you bounce

4:46

back? Is that, no, you should

4:48

think about this. Truly,

4:50

are you able to deal with

4:53

the ramifications of

4:55

an event? like a

4:57

category for hurricane

5:00

if you are living

5:02

on the West Coast

5:05

of Florida? Can

5:07

you deal with the fire

5:09

in parts of the

5:11

West Coast? Or are

5:13

you going to make a

5:16

different choice? What

5:18

is your home? Are you

5:21

willing to die for

5:23

your home? Literally.

5:25

Are you willing to die in

5:27

your home? Are you willing to

5:30

save people in your home?

5:32

Are you going to run

5:34

around saving other people

5:36

in the home? I don't mean

5:38

your home. I mean your

5:40

neighborhood, your town. How deep

5:42

are you in? Are you rooted?

5:44

Do you care? Are you willing

5:46

to help the neighbors? Do you

5:49

love the neighbors? Do you love

5:51

it? Are you fighting for it?

5:54

These are all real

5:56

questions.

5:58

They are. You

6:00

have to decide where you want

6:03

to what where your patch of

6:05

dirt happens to be Is it worth

6:07

it? After we've had a wild

6:10

year of fires and hurricanes

6:12

and floods and I'm not

6:14

saying you can predict

6:16

this I'm also not saying you

6:19

always have a choice Your kids

6:21

are in the school your job is

6:23

there. I get it. I'm not

6:25

an idiot I know sometimes you

6:27

just have to deal with it

6:30

But there are people

6:32

that are maybe younger

6:34

or they have The ability

6:37

to think about these things

6:39

before they buy a

6:41

home before they plant

6:43

roots in an area What

6:46

are you willing to deal

6:48

with? It's a trade-off

6:50

For sure, it's a trade-off,

6:52

you know, I don't I

6:54

don't know Elon Musk I

6:57

met Elon Musk one time in

6:59

a new year's party a few

7:01

years going to Austin. He was

7:03

very gracious. He was very

7:06

nice to me. A few of my friends

7:08

were at that party. We spoke

7:10

a very, you know, it was

7:12

a minimal amount of interaction

7:14

that we had. He's an

7:16

awkward guy. He's clearly on the

7:19

spectrum. He clearly wants

7:21

to be cool. He clearly wants

7:23

to be liked. He clearly wants

7:25

to be liked. He clearly

7:27

wants to be liked. brilliant

7:30

thoughts in his head and he's got

7:32

other thoughts. He has some thoughts that

7:34

have a lot of value and I'm

7:36

sure there are thoughts that do

7:38

not. He is quickly becoming

7:40

the most famous person in the

7:42

world. I don't love this photo

7:45

of Trump sitting there and Elon

7:47

Musk standing over him in kind

7:49

of an ominous way, you know, kind

7:52

of wearing all black. I don't love

7:54

that. And I don't, I'm not

7:56

even suggesting that. Trump

7:58

is in somehow like, you

8:00

know, in debt to Elon or

8:02

being cucked by him in

8:04

any way, I'm just saying the

8:07

photo itself, I don't love.

8:09

Obviously, Elon spent a

8:11

lot of money to get

8:13

Trump elected and Elon put

8:16

a lot of effort and

8:18

energy into that election.

8:20

And Elon's now working,

8:22

I believe, as a special

8:24

advisor, whatever the term is.

8:27

with this department

8:29

of government efficiency

8:32

and he's going

8:34

around and he is trying

8:36

to purge the government of

8:38

a lot of the some

8:41

of the government

8:43

employees he's trying

8:45

to identify and

8:47

isolate cases of

8:49

corruption waste abuse

8:52

and you know he's not

8:54

wrong to be doing this

8:56

wants him to do. The

8:59

aesthetics of it aren't

9:01

ideal. Trump doesn't

9:03

look like he's in

9:05

control. Now I'm not

9:07

suggesting he's not. This is

9:09

just the appearance of

9:12

it. And appearances are

9:14

in many cases reality.

9:17

There are enough reality

9:19

for people to form

9:21

opinions. So I think

9:23

having a press conference in

9:26

the Oval Office where Elon

9:28

Musk is standing over

9:30

Donald Trump, dressed in

9:32

all black, speaking more

9:35

than Donald Trump, isn't

9:37

great. I've predicted

9:39

this relationship at

9:41

some point was going to

9:43

become difficult. I think

9:46

that's starting. I'm not

9:48

even saying that... the US

9:50

aid program has an intrinsic

9:52

value. I think some of it does.

9:54

I mean, some of it for farmers

9:56

and I'm sure there are people all

9:58

over the world. that get some

10:01

help from this program, but

10:03

it is also an

10:05

intelligence front. It is a

10:07

CIA slash fund. They do use

10:09

it to foment instability

10:11

all over the world where they can.

10:14

They provably use it

10:16

domestically to fund protests.

10:18

They provably use it for

10:20

all kinds of activities that

10:23

are not necessarily in

10:25

the best interest of the

10:27

American public. but they're

10:30

in the best interest of the

10:32

CIA and the people that the CIA

10:34

works for. That doesn't mean that

10:36

everything that agency does is bad

10:39

and that doesn't mean that there

10:41

aren't people that depend on that

10:43

agency who will suffer because

10:46

it's completely closed down. It is

10:48

tough to hear people that

10:50

have watched Benjamin Netanyahu who

10:52

vaporized tens of thousands of

10:55

Palestinian children who now come out

10:57

and worry about and worry

10:59

about children in other countries

11:01

not getting help from

11:03

the USAID program.

11:06

That is what they call irony.

11:08

I will say this, he's going

11:10

to go into the Pentagon

11:13

next. I mean

11:15

perhaps they're saying that some

11:17

of the next targets

11:19

might be the Department

11:22

of Defense and Education.

11:24

The Pentagon we know. has

11:28

lost lots of money. USA,

11:31

that program, has lost

11:33

a lot of money. There

11:35

are billions of dollars

11:37

that are unaccounted

11:39

for. The Pentagon, you

11:41

know, I mean, I remember back

11:43

to the days of the

11:45

Iraq war when the Pentagon

11:48

had lost billions of

11:50

dollars unaccounted for.

11:53

This isn't something new.

11:55

This doesn't seem to be

11:58

something that anybody wants. to

12:00

happen, which might be, it

12:02

might not be that bad

12:05

that it's happening. I

12:07

think Musk is doing it

12:09

in a very sloppy way.

12:12

I think he's got a,

12:14

you know, this band of

12:16

20 year olds running

12:18

around. I think the

12:20

aesthetics of it make it

12:23

seem like Trump isn't

12:25

in control. And I

12:28

think that makes

12:30

Trump appear weak, which

12:32

is not what he would want.

12:35

And I think that there

12:37

are going to be cuts

12:39

that are sloppy. In the

12:41

same way that when the Biden

12:45

administration got everybody

12:48

to administer these

12:50

DEI programs, diversity,

12:53

equity, and inclusion,

12:56

they were done in a very

12:58

sloppy way, this idea

13:00

that we had to make

13:02

sure that every company

13:05

every university

13:07

every athletics you

13:10

know you know franchise

13:12

had diversity equity

13:14

and inclusion officers in

13:17

it to make sure

13:19

that they were hitting

13:21

certain quotas and that

13:24

the messaging of

13:26

these institutions didn't

13:28

exclude any group of

13:30

people no matter

13:33

how statistically insignificant

13:35

that group was. It was done

13:37

in a very sloppy way. This is

13:39

not unlike that in the sense

13:42

that this is not a

13:44

methodical approach, but I don't know

13:46

that you have the time to

13:48

do a methodical approach. That

13:50

would be their argument.

13:53

Their argument would be, well,

13:55

we don't have time to

13:57

be methodical. We have billions of dollars

13:59

on. counted for, we have tons

14:01

of fraud and corruption. And

14:04

the fact that Elon Musk

14:06

happens to be the wealthiest

14:08

man in the world certainly

14:10

does not help the aesthetics

14:12

of what's going on. Because here's

14:14

the way this is being

14:16

presented. These are government

14:18

bureaucrats who are doing

14:20

good things. They're good people.

14:23

They're lovely. They are just here

14:25

to help. They're just here

14:27

to help. That's all USAID is

14:29

that that's all we're doing in other

14:31

countries is Helping That's why they

14:34

love us so much. I love by the

14:36

way reading these articles and they

14:38

go USAID is one of the

14:40

reasons people like us in the

14:42

world No, no one like nobody

14:44

likes us Nobody likes us nobody

14:46

go to any of these countries where

14:48

they have USAID half the people

14:50

believe it's a CIA front the

14:53

other half. No it is and

14:55

they all hate us None of

14:57

them like it. The idea that

14:59

people adore us? Yes. Is there, have

15:01

we provided aid to people

15:03

that have been grateful?

15:05

Sure. But in mass,

15:07

in totality, the idea

15:09

that we're winning all

15:11

these friends and everybody

15:13

like, go travel the world,

15:16

tell me how much

15:18

after we've overthrown governments,

15:20

okay? Invaded countries

15:22

occupied them. tortured their

15:25

residents, kidnapped them in

15:27

the middle of the night,

15:29

put them in secret underground torture

15:32

prisons, how much U.S. aid has

15:34

made up for that in the

15:36

minds of people. I'm asking,

15:39

go travel the world and ask

15:41

a lot of these people, do

15:43

they really love us? Or is

15:45

it full of, or are they

15:47

full of shit? They don't love

15:49

us, number one. I'm not saying

15:51

U. It doesn't have good things.

15:54

The Republicans are trying to restart

15:56

the farm aid package for a lot

15:58

of the farmers that need aid. because

16:00

eggs are a trillion dollars because they

16:02

had the Holocaust a bunch of

16:04

chickens because of the bird flu

16:06

they had to Benjamin net Yahoo

16:08

like 30,000 chickens and now we

16:11

all have to pay it's five

16:13

dollars for eggs I notice it

16:15

now I'm even noticing it the rich

16:17

not the Elon Musk rich the working

16:19

rich but eggs are a lot of

16:21

money now so they're trying to

16:23

restart you know because they had to

16:25

get rid of all those chickens we're

16:27

off topic the point is this People

16:30

think what's happening right now. I love

Dylan T-I-M-T-I-L-L-O-N And I'm not saying

18:31

I'm for all of it either. I'm

18:33

not saying I agree with every single

18:36

thing. Elon Muskajoon, I

18:38

was heavily critical of the

18:40

visa thing. I remain so. I

18:42

do not trust tech people. I

18:44

don't trust what their end game

18:46

is. They are creepy and disturbing. A lot

18:48

of what they want to do, I

18:51

do not agree with. So don't tell

18:53

me, you know. But the idea

18:55

that every cut being made

18:58

is to a government

19:00

bureaucrat who's just a

19:02

good, do-gooder, who's trying

19:05

to help other people, isn't

19:07

true. There are lots of

19:09

people that work in our

19:12

government who are incredibly

19:14

corrupt and stealing money.

19:16

This is a fact. They're

19:19

working with members of

19:21

the private sector. doing

19:23

this. That is completely

19:26

100% the truth. That doesn't

19:28

mean that everyone is,

19:30

but it does mean that if

19:32

you take a magnifying glass

19:35

to a lot of the programs

19:37

in our government, they are

19:39

useless. They do not benefit

19:42

anybody and they suck

19:44

up a lot of tax dollars

19:46

that could be going to help

19:49

other people. All

19:51

the people talking about

19:53

USAID, the problem with

19:55

a lot of this stuff, when

19:58

you get on a moral... and

20:00

you write articles in

20:02

the Washington Post and the

20:04

New York Times in the

20:07

Atlantic about how valuable it

20:09

is that the United

20:11

States help people all

20:13

over the world. And that's a,

20:15

you know, understandable

20:18

point of view, but it

20:20

would be more understandable if

20:22

any of these people were

20:25

ever concerned about Detroit,

20:27

Chicago. poverty

20:30

in America Virginia

20:32

upstate New York parts

20:35

of Pennsylvania Florida

20:37

they do not concern

20:40

themselves as much with domestic

20:43

poverty the inequality

20:45

of wealth domestically

20:47

in fact the only person

20:50

who brought that up Bernie

20:52

Sanders they all closed ranks

20:55

to destroy All of these

20:57

establishment Democrats closed

21:00

ranks to destroy Bernie Sanders

21:02

and install Joe Biden when

21:04

they knew he was crazy.

21:06

And I know people in Chicago that

21:08

were part of that effort. This

21:10

is a fact. So all these

21:12

establishment Democrats who don't care

21:15

at all about wealth inequality

21:18

in America. They don't care

21:20

at all about deindustrialized...

21:23

areas where people are hopeless and

21:25

they're on fenton all they spent the

21:27

last four years telling all those people

21:29

they had white privilege and basically to

21:31

shut up their men and they caused all

21:34

the problems and then a lot of them

21:36

voted for Trump and then they were shocked.

21:38

Why do they do that? So at the end of the

21:40

day you can have the position that

21:42

America is a wealthy country and should

21:44

go around the world helping people but

21:47

that's not what's going on. That's

21:49

not all of what USAID is. It

21:51

may not even be a majority of

21:53

what USAID is. This is a slush

21:55

fund that is being used for all

21:57

kinds of reasons, but one of them...

22:00

is because the CIA and

22:02

other agencies are using that

22:04

money to go into these

22:07

countries to foment the type

22:09

of instability and chaos that

22:12

causes America to intervene in

22:14

that country or it causes

22:17

some type of coup where

22:19

we can replace the leader

22:21

of that country with somebody

22:24

that is amenable to the

22:26

interest of American multinational corporations.

22:29

That's a lot of what

22:31

is going on. It's not

22:34

all of it. It's a

22:36

lot of what's going on.

22:38

Domestic protests also partially funded

22:41

by these NGOs, these non-profits,

22:43

this entire world of bullshit

22:46

that exists that has never

22:48

helped you or your family.

22:51

It does not help. people,

22:53

a lot of it. USAID

22:55

has faced accusations of inefficiency

22:58

and waste over the years,

23:00

including that it fails to

23:03

measure the effectiveness of its

23:05

programs. Much of US AIDS

23:08

money is handed out as

23:10

grants or subcontracted to aid

23:12

groups and NGOs. Critics contend

23:15

that USAID's use of American

23:17

contractors and its large bureaucracy

23:20

means that not enough money

23:22

actually ends up helping those

23:25

in need. This

23:27

is like a charity. This

23:29

is like a lot of

23:32

charities are fake. We know

23:34

that. There are real charities.

23:36

It's Venmo. It's like, it's

23:38

helping people directly. Bethany does

23:40

a great job. She hands

23:43

cards and puts them in

23:45

people's cash cards and gives

23:47

them to people and goes,

23:49

go buy what you need.

23:51

Something Bethany Frankel does. And

23:54

that is true. But a

23:56

lot of charities. And I've

23:58

spoken not only to her

24:00

about it. Other people, a

24:02

lot of charities, okay, are

24:05

not trans- and a lot

24:07

of people don't get the

24:09

help. They don't. This idea

24:11

that all charities are just

24:13

these entities that just seek

24:16

to benefit people, a lot

24:18

of charities get such a

24:20

small percentage. I mean, a

24:22

lot of the actual people

24:24

get such a small percentage

24:27

of what the charity takes

24:29

in when you factor in

24:31

overhead. operating expenses, the salaries

24:33

of the staff. Now you

24:35

need some of that and

24:38

I understand it. That being

24:40

said, if you think, if

24:42

you, I mean, sometimes it's

24:44

10% if you donate to

24:46

a charity. Sometimes the people

24:49

on the other end are

24:51

literally getting 10% of the

24:53

fucking money. It's insane. That's

24:55

why I don't donate. I

24:57

donate to myself because I

25:00

get 100% of the money.

25:02

Transparency is big with me.

25:04

So if I donate to

25:06

myself, I get all of

25:08

the money. There is no

25:11

overhead. Whereas if I'm donating,

25:13

I don't know, to just,

25:15

you know, World AIDS, sure.

25:17

But where is it really?

25:19

And I help people directly.

25:22

I help people directly. I

25:24

help people directly. As you

25:26

should. Doesn't

25:29

anyone have a Venmo in Africa?

25:31

Did I can send the money

25:34

to direct? I don't want to

25:36

give it to a charity in

25:39

Washington DC. Can I sell you?

25:41

Can I overnight you something you

25:43

need? I'm only half kidding. The

25:46

charity scam. And then the government's

25:48

involved? The government's involved? The government's

25:50

involved? The government's involved in the

25:53

charity? And it's going to get

25:55

better. It's gonna be. more transparent

25:57

now that the government, now that

26:00

the CIA is involved with the

26:02

charity, it's gonna be good. We

26:04

know the CIA is full of

26:07

charitable people. That's why they go

26:09

into that line of work, because

26:12

they can't stop giving. That's why

26:14

Alan Dulles started that organ, because

26:16

he couldn't stop giving. This is

26:19

a guy, if you read his

26:21

autobiography, who like watched his sister,

26:23

almost drowned, emotionless, stood there on

26:26

the thing of the thing of

26:28

the lake. the side of the

26:30

lake. The point is this, the

26:33

idea that the United States government

26:35

is running around the world just

26:37

helping people is the craziest thing

26:40

I've ever heard in my life.

26:42

And I'm sorry to be, and

26:45

again, it just doesn't mean that

26:47

I think Elon Musk is doing

26:49

everything right. There's just means that

26:52

like we're gonna have to get

26:54

a little, we're gonna have to

26:56

sober up. I

26:59

think there needs to be a

27:01

Democratic Party and there needs to

27:03

be an effective functioning Democratic Party

27:05

and an effective functioning Republican Party.

27:08

You don't want a one-party state.

27:10

It would be lovely if there

27:12

were lots of parties, but there

27:14

are not. There's two. And if

27:17

the Democrats don't drop the identity

27:19

politics immediately, if they don't... stop

27:21

this righteous indignation. If they don't

27:23

stop the pearl clutching, the culture

27:26

has moved on in America. There's

27:28

been a, you know, people are

27:30

reasserting a type of traditional masculinity,

27:32

again, that isn't focused around like

27:35

we're gonna, but you know, it's

27:37

not like we're gonna kill everyone

27:39

and it's not this toxic masculinity

27:41

in the fevered imaginations of some

27:44

of my friends. Some of it,

27:46

I'm sure. has elements of that,

27:48

but a lot of it's like,

27:50

hey, we want to watch sports

27:53

and drink beer and, and... be

27:55

guys and not be told that

27:57

we are the source of all

27:59

evil on the planet. I think

28:02

that's reasonable. I think that's reasonable.

28:04

Okay? The last four years and

28:06

the intensity with which these cultural,

28:08

you know, conversations were happening, it

28:11

was, it was incredibly destabilizing for

28:13

a lot of people and they

28:15

want to kind of go back.

28:17

to something that feels a little

28:20

bit more traditional. Okay, that doesn't

28:22

mean that you're throwing gay people

28:24

off the roof, that doesn't mean

28:26

that trans people shouldn't live normal

28:29

happy lives. It means that, you

28:31

know, we need to take a

28:33

beat, take a step back from,

28:35

you know, we don't need to

28:38

live in the 1950s, but we

28:40

also don't need a thousand genders.

28:42

We can't swallow that. The Democratic

28:44

Party's got to cut this out.

28:47

This is not helping anybody You

28:49

need to cut this you need

28:51

to stop doing it I don't

28:53

even know who this is for

28:56

anymore It's not And I know

28:58

that the right keeps calling them

29:00

all pedophiles. There's nothing less sexual

29:02

than the current state of the

29:05

modern democratic party by the way

29:07

None of this is even about

29:09

sex. This is weird. It's like

29:11

this bureaucratic office politics call me

29:14

the right name or I'll have

29:16

you fired all of this shit

29:18

that was done for four years,

29:20

you're now seeing again. And it's

29:23

happening, it's just happening, the right

29:25

is now come to power, and

29:27

the right is doing the things

29:29

they've always wanted to do, like,

29:32

shrink the government and eliminate bureaucrats,

29:34

and it's everything I've heard since

29:36

I'm a child. It doesn't mean

29:38

it's a coup. It doesn't mean

29:41

that we no longer live in

29:43

a democracy. It's that the Republican

29:45

parties always wanted to shrink the

29:47

government and get rid of waste.

29:50

This is all that they've ever

29:52

talked about. The same

29:54

way that the Democratic Party

29:56

tried to purge all of

29:59

these institutions of anyone that

30:01

didn't subscribe to their policy

30:03

of racial justice and equity

30:05

and gender theory and all

30:07

this gobbledygook and they ran

30:09

around doing the same thing

30:11

and this is when a

30:14

society starts to completely fall

30:16

apart when as soon as

30:18

one side has power all

30:20

they try to do is

30:22

purge anyone that doesn't subscribe

30:24

to what they want. And

30:26

this is deeply unhealthy and

30:29

this is how you get

30:31

societies in the Middle East.

30:33

We have Sunnis and Shiites

30:35

and they just kill each

30:37

other. The political process completely

30:39

evaporates. It doesn't exist at

30:41

all. You can't have discussions.

30:44

You can't have debates. You

30:46

do not vote. It is

30:48

simply terrorism and war. That's

30:50

what we want to avoid.

30:52

We don't want that. So

30:54

what we need to do

30:56

is have a functioning. Democratic

30:59

Party that nominates a sane

31:01

human being to lead the

31:03

party cannot be children cannot

31:05

be David Hogg, it cannot

31:07

be a child. Not that

31:09

they're children, but I don't

31:12

want to hear from anyone

31:14

in their 20s. It doesn't

31:16

help your case when all

31:18

of the people on social

31:20

media... that you're

31:22

bringing forward are people in their

31:25

20s or sadly people in their

31:27

40s who are trying to ape

31:29

the lingo of people in their

31:32

20s, which is even sadder. You

31:34

have to kick and purge. You

31:36

have to kick these people out.

31:39

You have to purge them. You

31:41

have to bring in rational people

31:44

that go, you know, we need

31:46

people to have health care. We

31:48

need people to have retirement. We

31:51

need people, we need to ease

31:53

people's economic insecurity. We need to

31:55

not divide people on the basis

31:58

of race and gender and sexuality.

32:00

What we need to do is

32:03

build a coalition. of people based

32:05

on the idea that we all

32:07

have similar interest regarding infrastructure, regarding

32:10

the economy, regarding freedom, regarding abortion,

32:12

a lot of people, you know,

32:14

obviously a pro-choice. So it can

32:17

be done, it's just not going

32:19

to be done until they fully

32:22

get rid of a lot of

32:24

the garbage that they have. I

32:27

love helix mattresses. Everyone that comes

32:29

and stays in the out east

32:32

in the hamptons. They love helix

32:34

mattresses. They go, why are these

32:37

mattresses so good? I said, well,

32:39

they're helix mattresses are the best.

33:57

it is well worth it folks.

34:00

need to go do it. Be

34:02

smart. If you look at the

34:05

cultural moments right now, music, and

34:07

also the right, stop winding by

34:09

Kendrick Lamar's show, you idiots. Stop.

34:12

Stop being the pearl clutching and

34:14

the offense. The addiction outrage machine

34:16

is over. It's being shut down.

34:19

It actually is already shut down.

34:21

It's like an amusement park that

34:24

you pass and you look at

34:26

it to the left or to

34:28

the right and you go, oh.

34:31

It must have been fun. And

34:33

it was being angry all the

34:35

time made a lot of people

34:38

happy and it made a lot

34:40

of people money. But it's over.

34:43

It's shut down. No one has

34:45

the energy for it. You cannot

34:47

stay angry for your entire life.

34:50

It's unnatural. Just the way you

34:52

can't stay happy your entire life.

34:54

There are going to be days

34:57

that suck and days that are

34:59

great. Okay? So at the end

35:02

of the day, you cannot fly

35:04

into a rage. over every single

35:06

thing. And when the right is

35:09

yelling and screaming about Kendrick Lamar

35:11

for whatever reason, Serena Williams, uh,

35:13

crip walking, or we don't like

35:16

that he didn't do this, or

35:18

we don't like that. It just

35:21

shows that even in victory, because

35:23

they've won, the right is now

35:25

won everything. Even in victory, the

35:28

temptation to be a victim is

35:30

so great. So monumental. And the

35:33

right will have to fight this,

35:35

or they'll get destroyed in the

35:37

midterms, and they'll lose, and you

35:40

know, they'll lose the next election.

35:42

They also have to figure out

35:44

how to lower the prices of

35:47

things and get interest rates lower.

35:49

It's another conversation for later in

35:52

the show. But if they do

35:54

not, figure out a way to

35:56

stop getting angry about not, who

35:59

cares? in the same way that

36:01

people on the left that are

36:03

saying, Kendrick Lamar's show is the

36:06

greatest thing that's ever been. He's

36:08

showing that, that, uh... you know,

36:11

that America, he's making a statement

36:13

and he's showing me, projecting your

36:15

political realities on art is over.

36:18

That's over. That's 2022. The idea

36:20

that the person that you enjoy

36:22

watching, listening to is some symbol

36:25

of some greater thing you want

36:27

to see happen is over. It's

36:30

now embarrassing on both sides. It

36:32

is a half-time show. It was

36:34

forgotten. It was good. I enjoyed

36:37

it. I think he's very talented.

36:39

But what he did ultimately means

36:41

nothing. It doesn't mean anything. You

36:44

people have put all of this

36:46

emphasis on art as a... Way

36:49

to pull the levers of social

36:51

change and a way to really,

36:53

now art can do certain things,

36:56

it can start conversations and whatever,

36:58

but what it is not, and

37:00

certainly should be obvious to all

37:03

you people now. You directed every

37:05

cultural weapon you had for four

37:08

years at Donald Trump and he's

37:10

back in office. Enough. Stop it.

37:12

You're not a resistance. Hollywood doesn't

37:15

do a great job at resisting

37:17

anything. I'm not saying it should.

37:19

blindly go along with things either.

37:22

But you have to stop projecting

37:24

all this stuff onto a half-time

37:27

show. It's on both sides. The

37:29

rights like, this is, Matt Gates

37:31

goes, this is the response to

37:34

Trump's historic gains with black men.

37:36

No, no, no, it's a half-time

37:39

show. It's a rapper performing at

37:41

a half-time show. That's what it

37:43

is. The whole Kendrick Lamar Drake

37:46

beef, people have written all these

37:48

long think pieces about what it's

37:50

really about. What it really means,

37:53

what the real significance is, if

37:55

you look under the hood, peel

37:58

layers back. You're going to get

38:00

guys. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing thinking

38:02

about things this way. This is

38:05

not politics. The thing you're doing

38:07

is not. It's the opposite of

38:09

it. You're retreating into this world

38:12

that doesn't mean anything outside of

38:14

X and a couple of dumb

38:17

think pieces and a couple of

38:19

YouTube documentaries. It's not meaningful lasting

38:21

change. It's not change at all.

38:24

It's nothing. It's less than nothing.

38:26

So what you have to do

38:28

is you have to get over

38:31

that shit and you have to

38:33

stop. Otherwise you're never going to

38:36

be effective and you're never going

38:38

to get any type of legitimacy

38:40

back if you keep doing this.

38:43

Now friend of the program, he

38:45

reached out to us a lot.

38:47

But not a lot, I think

38:50

once, but he has been going

38:52

off the chain. And even he's,

38:55

this is how crazy, even he's

38:57

getting boring. Even this is boring.

38:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a Nazi.

39:02

We got it. We got it.

39:04

It becomes boring after a while.

39:06

He was saying very interesting things

39:09

at one point, years and years

39:11

ago about love. And then it

39:14

all got very Hitlerian. You know.

39:16

But he had a, he paid,

39:18

and I think it was $8

39:21

million, something wild for a Super

39:23

Bowl commercial. It's actually less. How

39:25

much was it? I don't know

39:28

exactly, but it was. Can I

39:30

afford one? How much? You probably

39:33

could, he only paid to have

39:35

it shown in the LA area.

39:37

Oh, interesting. So it's a little

39:40

cheaper. Interesting. So only in the

39:42

LA area, Kanye, because I was

39:45

at a Super Bowl party in

39:47

Santa Monica. And I was there

39:49

and just LA people, you know,

39:52

it's just what it is. But

39:54

they're lack intensity. People in Los

39:56

Angeles, so if you're watching a

39:59

game on the East Coast There's

40:01

a lot of intensity and passion

40:04

and LA everyone's kind of like

40:06

So it's just not fun to

40:08

watch anything of any substance with

40:11

any of these people because they're

40:13

just they're but they're any substance

40:15

with any of these people because

40:18

they just they left but they're

40:20

very sweet and very nice ordered

40:23

me coffee I want to coffee

40:25

that and they had a beautiful

40:27

and I like it actually at

40:30

this point in this point in

40:32

my life. That's what I like.

40:34

So it actually works perfectly for

40:37

me. But a few people were

40:39

like, what the fuck? Like there

40:42

was a visceral reaction to something

40:44

and I go, what happened? And

40:46

they were like, oh, Kanye West

40:49

had a Super Bowl commercial. The

40:51

ad ran on three Fox-owned stations,

40:53

including KTTV, Los Angeles, and may

40:56

have been seen in a few

40:58

more local markets. It's not the

41:01

first time West had purchased a

41:03

local spot during the Super Bowl.

41:05

as one was seen on at

41:08

least one small market, CBS affiliate

41:10

in 2024. I love the idea

41:12

of buying a local Super Bowl

41:15

commercial. Can we watch it? Yeah.

41:17

Let's watch. This was Kanye. Now

41:20

this, yeezy.com, there was a link

41:22

and he was just selling a

41:24

shirt with a swastik on. What's

41:27

up, guys? I spent like all

41:29

the money for the commercial, um...

41:31

on these new teeth. So, once

41:34

again, I had to shoot it

41:36

on the iPhone. Um, um, um,

41:39

go to easy.com. So now when

41:41

you went to easy.com, there was

41:43

just a shirt. Can you show

41:46

the shirt or are we gonna

41:48

get in trouble? Can we show

41:51

it? There was a shirt and

41:53

the shirt was a white shirt.

41:55

and it had a swastika on

41:58

it, which is, yeah. Oh,

42:01

there's also some fun kind of,

42:03

oh, are those swastika socks as

42:05

well? What is, oh no, is

42:08

that's a different? On the left

42:10

is what his website look like.

42:13

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then on

42:15

the right, it's that, yeah. Well,

42:17

you know, number one, the shirt

42:20

itself, I hate white shirts, because

42:22

they stain and they're not good.

42:24

And, you know, the minute anything

42:27

happens, a drip of coffee, the

42:29

entire shirts ruin. So that being

42:32

said, that shirt I think the

42:34

only option I see is white.

42:36

I don't love that. Obviously the

42:39

swastika is offensive to people and

42:41

will get you in a lot

42:43

of trouble. But as a shirt,

42:46

it's rather unimaginative. And again, I

42:48

just don't like white. And it's

42:51

a t-shirt and there are a

42:53

lot of places that don't want.

42:55

you to go in and t-shirt,

42:58

you know, some nice restaurants and

43:00

whatnot. Also, the swastika imagery on

43:02

the front of the shirt, I

43:05

think, is, you know, it's probably

43:07

going to limit the types of

43:10

people that you will meet out

43:12

there. You know, I think a

43:14

lot of people are just going

43:17

to see that shirt and make

43:19

a judgment about you. That's the

43:21

thing about clothing. Some of it

43:24

just sends a message. And I

43:26

think that sends a message. Let's

43:29

see, within an hour of the

43:31

ad airing in Los Angeles and

43:33

other markets, West had made the

43:36

switch and users saw that just

43:38

a $20 white t-shirts with a

43:40

swastik on it. At that point,

43:43

the on-air ad had a ready

43:45

run and it was too late.

43:48

I just can imagine like his

43:50

conversation with the person designing the

43:52

shirt. They're like, so that's all

43:55

you want. He goes, he goes,

43:57

yup. They go, that's it. Yes.

43:59

Do you want a gray? Do

44:02

you want to do a gray?

44:04

Do you want to do a

44:07

camo? Do you want to do

44:09

a black with a white swassica?

44:11

Nope. White shirt black swass taker.

44:14

Okay. Someone had to take that

44:16

order. That's the way the world

44:18

works. Someone had to go, okay.

44:21

And nothing else? You're sure. You're

44:23

sure about this. No other versions.

44:26

Okay? No, no, no, I mean,

44:28

hey, you're the boss. He's

44:31

someone's boss. That's the thing about

44:33

kind of like as crazy as

44:35

he is right now as wild

44:38

as he is he's flying all

44:40

over to place He is someone

44:42

He has a call and you

44:44

have to get on that call

44:47

Like there's a zoom with him

44:49

and you got to you got

44:51

to get on you got to

44:53

put your head and you're on

44:56

you're on the zoom and he's

44:58

talking and he's like and we're

45:00

doing swastika shirts for the Super

45:02

Bowl commercial and you got to

45:04

write it down doing the swash

45:07

sticker, okay, and you just want

45:09

a white, and it's a white

45:11

with a black swash sticker, okay.

45:13

And then we make that switch

45:16

about an hour, and okay, all

45:18

right, yeah. You don't want anything

45:20

else, you're sure? Do you want

45:22

to do a pant? Do you

45:25

want to do like a, do

45:27

you want to do like a,

45:29

do you want to do like

45:31

a, do you want to do

45:34

like a full sweatsuit, no, no,

45:36

no, we'll do the shirt? So

45:38

really when it comes down, you

45:40

just, you, you, you, you, you,

45:43

you know, you know, he's doing

45:45

the Isle of Hitler stuff and

45:47

and telling people to whip your

45:49

Jews. I mean, he's really just

45:51

doing, he's out there while it

45:54

out. It's crazy. I don't know

45:56

what, you know, I mean, listen,

45:58

I said years ago, this was

46:00

going to be the beginning of

46:03

this trend where Mega celebrities were

46:05

going to have public meltdowns on

46:07

social media because and the reason

46:09

and a lot of this is

46:12

happening is because what used to

46:14

prevent this was layers of people

46:16

between a celebrity and their fans.

46:18

Those people were managers, publicists, agents,

46:21

lawyers, okay, handlers, assistants, the Ray

46:23

Donovan fixer character, right? Like all

46:25

of these people were got between

46:27

a celebrity and the public. Now.

46:30

Now, with the internet, there

46:32

is nothing that stands between

46:34

a celebrity and their fans,

46:36

which can be a very

46:38

big problem. That can be

46:40

a very big, so no

46:42

matter who wants to fly

46:44

off the handle, they can

46:46

do it now with such

46:48

ease. And if you're an

46:50

agent or a manager or

46:52

public, you just sit back. in

46:55

a constant state of anxiety.

46:57

You just sit, and all

46:59

those jobs are evaporating anyway,

47:01

sorry to people that may be

47:03

listening, but a lot of

47:05

those jobs, not all of

47:07

them, but a lot of

47:09

them are. And what then happens

47:12

is these people sit back

47:14

and they watch their clients

47:16

have these meltdowns and they

47:18

can't do anything about it.

47:20

It's already out there. It's already

47:22

out there. So any time

47:24

one of these, like Bieber

47:26

seems to be in a

47:28

bad way right now. I think

47:30

Justin Bieber is an incredibly

47:33

talented kid who's probably been

47:35

through a lot and I

47:37

feel bad. But he's walking around

47:39

now and he doesn't look

47:41

great. Right? He seems to

47:43

be having a prop. Now

47:45

he's not selling swastika shirts.

47:47

I'm not saying he is. He's

47:49

just walking around and he

47:51

doesn't look. He seems

47:53

like he's having an issue. You

47:56

know and and. It's difficult because

47:58

the paparazzi just hound the poor

48:00

guy and he's out there and

48:03

he's having mental issues You know

48:05

And by the way go up

48:07

to these go up to these

48:10

big clothes everyone's wearing out go

48:12

up to this up just make

48:14

that bigger This doesn't Whatever this

48:17

is and I know this is

48:19

the new fashion where everybody's wearing

48:21

all these big things, matrix-like, like,

48:24

you know, but these very big

48:26

coats and these big boots and

48:28

these big... This is making people

48:31

worry about you more. I'm not

48:33

saying it should be form-fitting and

48:35

skinny jeans or whatever, but this

48:38

kind of strange, everybody's cloaked, doesn't

48:40

seem great, but Bieber seems like

48:42

he's having issues. It doesn't mean

48:45

that... He is. I don't know.

48:47

I don't know, people really that

48:49

know him, but... Here, you know,

48:52

because this, I'm telling you right

48:54

now, this P. Diddy, I think,

48:56

wasn't good for these people. That's

48:59

why I think this P. Diddy,

49:01

it turns out, was like not

49:03

great for them, for a lot

49:06

of these younger people, that P.

49:08

Ditty took like an interest in

49:10

and tried to mentor and stuff.

49:13

P. Diddy, I think, was, you

49:15

know, a net negative. That's the...

49:17

surmise that I have. So this

49:20

poor guy is walking around trying

49:22

to deal with all of this

49:24

stuff and he's... You know, so

49:27

I'm hoping the kid's okay. He's

49:29

been through a lot. He got

49:31

famous very young and it's very

49:34

very difficult. You got to use

49:36

built. There's no cost to join

49:38

built and as a member you'll

49:41

earn valuable points on rent and

49:43

on your everyday spending. Bill points

49:45

can be transferred to your favorite

49:47

hotels and airlines and even the

49:50

ones you haven't heard of there

49:52

are over 500 airlines at 700,000

49:54

hotels and Properties around the world

49:57

you can redeem your built points

49:59

towards Points can also

50:01

be redeemed towards a future

50:03

rent payment and unique experiences

50:05

that only built members can

50:07

access. So if you're not

50:09

earning points on rent, my

50:11

question is why not? If

50:13

you rent, if you haven't

50:15

heard of built, you're going

50:18

to thank me. Okay? I

50:20

would start taking advantage of

50:22

it if I were you.

50:24

Here's the thing. We earn

50:26

points on groceries, travel, and

50:28

practically everything else we buy,

50:30

but shouldn't we also be

50:32

earning points on rent? One

50:34

of our biggest monthly expenses?

50:36

Bill changed the game by

50:38

letting renters earn high value

50:40

points on rent and around

50:42

the neighborhood. With the seasons

50:44

changing, I'm always dreaming of

50:46

a warm weather getaway. I

50:48

love using points for travel,

50:50

and I'm always looking for

50:52

ways to earn more to

50:54

book my next flight. Here's

50:56

a life hack for you.

50:58

Bill lets you earn points

51:00

on rent payments and redeem

51:02

them towards flights, hotels and

51:04

a lot more. One of

51:06

your biggest investments should get

51:08

you more than just a

51:10

roof over your head. Start

51:12

earning points on rent you're

51:14

already paying by, go to

51:16

join bill.com/Tim, that's j-o-i-n-b-i-l-t.com/Tim, that's

51:18

J-O-I-N-B-I-L-T-com slash Tim, that's J-O-I-N-B-I-L-T-T-com,

51:20

join bill, Morgan and

51:22

Morgan has just filed the first

51:25

of its kind lawsuit against the

51:27

food industry Biamets. Those lawsuit alleges

51:30

these companies engineer their ultra-processed food

51:32

products and be addictive and market

51:34

those products towards children, allegedly causing

51:37

chronic diseases, diseases such as type

51:39

2 diabetes and fatty liver disease,

51:41

both of which were nearly unheard

51:44

of in children 40 years ago,

51:46

now affect the lives of thousands

51:49

of children. The complaint details the

51:51

strategic and calculated actions that these

51:53

companies allegedly talk... to target children

51:56

with ultra-processed foods including internal memos

51:58

strategic meetings and the extensive research

52:00

they allegedly conducted to leverage our

52:03

biology and neurology to create addictive

52:05

substances. And by the way, I

52:07

think this is great. People should

52:10

be held accountable for turning little

52:12

children into fatty bumbatis. It's very

52:15

important. Morgan, have you seen toddlers

52:17

now? They'll look like basketball. Morgan

52:19

and Morgan is committed to fighting

52:22

for the people and for their

52:24

families. If your child has been

52:26

diagnosed with one of these diseases,

52:29

you may have legal options. They've

52:31

helped thousands of family seek justice

52:34

against big corporations, and they're ready

52:36

to fight for you too. Learn

52:38

more for the people.com/T-I-M. That's f-o-r-the-people.com/G-G-I-M.

52:41

I'm telling you right now, this

52:43

is going to be more common

52:45

if your child has one of

52:48

these diseases, and they've been given

52:50

this by ultra-processed food that has

52:53

been specifically designed to target them,

52:55

you are entitled to monetary compensation.

52:57

That is for the people.com/Jim. That

53:00

is f-o-r-the-people.com/T-I-M. Boston, Worcester, city council

53:02

voted to become a transgender sanctuary

53:04

city. I don't know what this

53:07

means, but we'll watch this. Is

53:09

there one transgender person that can

53:11

publicly appear without a blue wig?

53:14

Like this, there needs to be,

53:16

and I'm sure there are, I'm

53:19

sure there are, everything can't be

53:21

Halloween with this community all the

53:23

time. It is not helping any

53:26

case you're making. I'm being very

53:28

honest here. There are gay people

53:30

that are not always wearing assless

53:33

chops and stuff like that. Now

53:35

obviously there are people wearing assless

53:38

chops. But usually that's like Saturday

53:40

night. Like if you show up

53:42

to the town council or city

53:45

hall or whatever, is there a

53:47

way that you cannot dress, you

53:49

know, like a cartoon? This doesn't

53:52

help. I want to take you

53:54

seriously. But showing up with a

53:56

cartoonish blue wig and these wild

53:59

eyebrows and the pearls, it just,

54:01

it's not necessarily, it doesn't lend

54:04

itself to seriousness. But let's see,

54:06

maybe I'm wrong. I need the

54:08

city to protect me because the

54:11

federal government won't and if you

54:13

think you're afraid of Trump you

54:15

should see how afraid of Trump

54:18

I am. Can you wrap up

54:20

please? Yes I can. If you

54:23

say that you're afraid of Trump

54:25

and that's why you don't want

54:27

the city to be a safe

54:30

space for trans people you better

54:32

prepare for trans people to make

54:34

this a very unsafe space. I'm

54:37

shaking right now. I don't want

54:39

to be here. I'm sorry, am

54:41

I taking too long pleading for

54:44

my life? You remembered how many

54:46

children I have and how many,

54:49

and that two of them are

54:51

trans? I speak as both the

54:53

B and the T in the

54:56

LGBT. I'm multiply disabled. I have

54:58

Ellers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective

55:00

tissue disorder that causes me immense.

55:03

Physical pain same and I told

55:05

that to the woman at Nobu

55:08

and that's why I needed 8

55:10

o'clock and she said we don't

55:12

have anything till 10 continue I'm

55:15

on the autism spectrum same and

55:17

I have narcolepsy and I couldn't

55:19

all the time I'm on this

55:22

phone all night sister from my

55:24

driver that I was in drag

55:27

which is not an easy thing

55:29

to do in brag I do

55:31

not want to be here it's

55:34

my day off from what from

55:36

what is it your day off

55:38

from? Be in your

55:41

DEMs. I do not want to

55:43

be in your email inboxes. I

55:45

do not want my creativity writing

55:47

this tracks like Kendrick. I don't

55:49

want to spend an hour applying

55:52

glitter on my face. Well then

55:54

don't. That you will hear and

55:56

see me. I want you to

55:58

listen to me. Let us remember.

56:00

I love, by the way, by

56:03

the way, I love the, this

56:05

guy, there is no way. This,

56:07

this is every guy who's made

56:09

me a sandwich in Staten Island.

56:11

This is every single guy who's

56:14

made my favorite sandwich, and Staten

56:16

Island. This is every single guy

56:18

who's made my favorite sandwich, which

56:20

is fried eggplant, fresh, red peppers,

56:22

and then a balsamic vinaigrette or

56:25

an oil and vinegar is even

56:27

better. You know, you don't need

56:29

the vinaigrats. They also find them

56:31

too much, whatever. But this, and

56:33

maybe a little basil, this guy

56:35

is every guy that has made

56:38

me that sandwich and done it

56:40

perfectly. If it is not this

56:42

guy, I leave the deli because

56:44

I go, oh, it won't be

56:46

good and it never is. This

56:49

guy is every person who's made

56:51

me a sandwich and said, so

56:53

I'm just curious now. And again,

56:55

not to, you know, whatever. But

56:57

I'm curious as to like, what

57:00

exactly is this? Let's see what,

57:02

and by the way, this person,

57:04

the make, like there's, there needs

57:06

to be someone in this community

57:08

who shows up and speaks rationally.

57:11

And I'm sure that there are,

57:13

this looks like Cert disole. This

57:15

cannot look like Cert disole. I'm

57:17

not for kicking trans people out

57:19

of the military. I'm not for

57:22

a lot of that. I think

57:24

trans people should be able to

57:26

do whatever they want, you know,

57:28

with the exception of like, you

57:30

know, like teaching four-year-olds about being

57:32

trans. I don't agree with that.

57:35

Most of America doesn't, by the

57:37

way. The Democratic Party has seemed

57:39

to let this very infinites, statistically

57:41

insignificant, very small base of activists,

57:43

define the whole issue. It's psychotic.

57:46

It's psychotic. show up to the

57:48

city council. without, you know, and

57:50

I don't know what, also are

57:52

these people, am I supposed to

57:54

believe that this group is dying

57:57

to join the military? But let's

57:59

speak of, let's see what this

58:01

guy has to say, I'm curious.

58:03

Let us remember that the Nazis

58:05

burned books on gender sciences first.

58:08

Now the administration has villainized and

58:10

marginalized migrant workers, trans, LGBT people,

58:12

and even special needs, denying life-saving

58:14

and affirming care. Can you look

58:16

at me and tell me how

58:18

many of my friends need to

58:21

die before you do anything? Look

58:23

at me! Okay, well done here.

58:25

Of course we need to continue

58:27

celebrating Black History Month because in

58:29

spite of what's coming down from

58:32

Washington we all know that we

58:34

all exist and we all need

58:36

to be recognized for our existence.

58:38

But be aware that you are

58:40

a guest in my house when

58:43

you come and when you come

58:45

know that there are strong queer

58:47

and trans people in my classroom

58:49

who will collect you with the

58:51

quickness. How many of these people,

58:54

by the way, how many of

58:56

these people just want attention? Like,

58:58

and being very serious here, like,

59:00

how many of these people woke

59:02

up that day and were like,

59:05

I just want something to do?

59:07

Like, how many of these people,

59:09

and I'm not saying there aren't

59:11

legitimate concerns that trans people have,

59:13

I get it, but the thing

59:15

about me that I, you know,

59:18

a lot of people in comedy.

59:20

always saw me as like just

59:22

right wing lunatic. Now I'm like

59:24

really firmly kind of in the

59:26

center because the culture has shifted

59:29

and like I lean right on

59:31

certain issues but there are certain

59:33

issues I'm you know more amenable

59:35

to the left. on and what

59:37

I've always warned my friends about

59:40

on the left was that this

59:42

extremism that they were kind of

59:44

just silently nodding going along with

59:46

was going to come back to

59:48

bite them because it would swing

59:51

the other way this is what

59:53

this is the definition of the

59:55

pendulum swing and all of my

59:57

friends when we'd sit down at

59:59

dinner in LA I would go

1:00:02

this is ridiculous and that's ridiculous

1:00:04

and they would all agree with

1:00:06

me for the most part I'd

1:00:08

go All this DEAI stuff is

1:00:10

stupid. And the quotas are stupid.

1:00:12

And this idea that, you know,

1:00:15

you know, 50% of the nominated

1:00:17

pictures need to have a women

1:00:19

director, all of that stuff, no

1:00:21

one ever agreed with. And they

1:00:23

just silently kind of placated the

1:00:26

most extreme psychopaths out there. And

1:00:28

all of the people that were

1:00:30

pushing this stuff were doing so

1:00:32

to legitimize usually their own careers.

1:00:34

A lot of the people that

1:00:37

were pushing this stuff were going

1:00:39

and blackmailing, essentially executives, and going,

1:00:41

I will leak, I know stories

1:00:43

where people were like, I will

1:00:45

leak that this is a racist

1:00:48

and homophobic work environment unless you

1:00:50

give me a show and those

1:00:52

people got shows. I genuinely know

1:00:54

that. I know for a fact

1:00:56

that there were people calling up

1:00:59

the LA Times and going, why

1:01:01

don't you call and ask for

1:01:03

comment on the story that no

1:01:05

one was even writing about... this

1:01:07

being a hostile work environment and

1:01:09

then that person getting a show

1:01:12

the next day, getting a sum

1:01:14

of money the next day. It

1:01:16

was a fraud. It was extortion.

1:01:18

And by the way, make your

1:01:20

bag, whatever, but I know for

1:01:23

a fact that what was happening

1:01:25

in this town and many other

1:01:27

towns was that people were going,

1:01:29

if you don't give me this

1:01:31

job with this budget and this,

1:01:34

I'm going to say, you're racist.

1:01:36

homophobe, transphobe, whatever collection of buzzwords

1:01:38

I can use to get you

1:01:40

fired, give me mine. And then

1:01:42

all these museums and all these

1:01:45

institutions and universities and corporations had

1:01:47

these... D.E.I. officers. All of a

1:01:49

sudden there were these six-figure jobs

1:01:51

for some of the most mediocre

1:01:53

people in the world that were

1:01:55

now existing in these companies and

1:01:58

threatening and trying to terrify the

1:02:00

board and and and the corporate

1:02:02

structure and CEOs of these companies

1:02:04

just said just give them what

1:02:06

they want. Give them what they

1:02:09

want. Let them do what they

1:02:11

want because they want. to continue

1:02:13

to operate a company without being

1:02:15

slandered in the press. So all

1:02:17

of that, which I had a

1:02:20

first, which I knew this was

1:02:22

happening and I heard from people,

1:02:24

that if you spoke out, if

1:02:26

you said anything, you were on

1:02:28

the chopping block, you were gonna

1:02:31

get eliminated. All of my friends,

1:02:33

but I would have dinner with

1:02:35

them. And we would sit down

1:02:37

and we would talk, or we

1:02:39

would take a walk somewhere. And

1:02:42

because a lot of people talk

1:02:44

to me, a lot of people

1:02:46

don't admit to listening to the

1:02:48

show, but the show is listened

1:02:50

to by some of the top

1:02:52

people in all of these industries.

1:02:55

And sometimes I would speak to

1:02:57

these people and they would say,

1:02:59

what is going on right now

1:03:01

is fucking insane. And they would

1:03:03

describe a meeting. We're like all

1:03:06

of these I know executive. I'm

1:03:08

not going to say where comedy

1:03:10

central Comedy Central. I'll just say

1:03:12

it was because that's where it

1:03:14

was Okay, and he offered an

1:03:17

opinion on a lesbian a white

1:03:19

lesbian He said I just don't

1:03:21

think she's funny. By the way,

1:03:23

there's a lot of people who

1:03:25

don't think I'm funny. They're allowed

1:03:28

to not think that. Okay. There

1:03:30

are a lot allowed to not

1:03:32

take that. There's enough people that

1:03:34

think I'm funny that I live

1:03:36

a lovely life. Great you know

1:03:39

You don't like it. You don't

1:03:41

like to show? Don't listen to

1:03:43

show. It doesn't really matter. It

1:03:45

doesn't, you know, it is what

1:03:47

it is. You're allowed to not

1:03:49

like things, okay? I'm gonna tell

1:03:52

you a story now that I've

1:03:54

never, I may have told it.

1:03:56

Maybe I've told it. I don't

1:03:58

even know. I might have told

1:04:00

it. He said, he goes, this

1:04:03

was a comedy central. And this

1:04:05

was an executive a comedy central.

1:04:07

And then a female comedian, who

1:04:09

was a lesbian, her name came

1:04:11

up in the room. And he

1:04:14

didn't say anything damning. All he

1:04:16

said was, I never found her

1:04:18

that funny. Now there's lots of

1:04:20

lesbian female comedians by the way

1:04:22

some people like some of them

1:04:25

and some people don't like others

1:04:27

just like there's a lot of

1:04:29

gay male comedians If you suggested

1:04:31

a gay male comedian and my

1:04:33

name came up and I know

1:04:36

this for a fact a lot

1:04:38

of people in those rooms in

1:04:40

LA have had strokes like actual

1:04:42

strokes and they had to be

1:04:44

taken out So It's fine. You're

1:04:46

allowed to have opinions, right? This

1:04:49

guy was court-martialed After he said,

1:04:51

she never did it for me,

1:04:53

she never found me that funny.

1:04:55

He didn't say I don't give

1:04:57

her a deal. He didn't say

1:05:00

I think she's the worst thing

1:05:02

ever. He said, it's not, not

1:05:04

for me. Never thought it was

1:05:06

that great. He was taken outside

1:05:08

by several people, several executives who

1:05:11

brought into a room and told

1:05:13

you cannot as a straight white

1:05:15

man offer that kind of opinion.

1:05:17

He said you hired me to

1:05:19

give an opinion. I'm an executive

1:05:22

at this. Let's be on his

1:05:24

fake company, Comedy Central, and he

1:05:26

goes, you hired me to give

1:05:28

an opinion. It's literally my job

1:05:30

to give an opinion when the

1:05:32

name of a comedian comes up.

1:05:35

And everybody went, you can't, you're

1:05:37

a straight white guy, you have

1:05:39

to understand, you're in this position

1:05:41

of power. He goes, right, but

1:05:43

you hired me to be in

1:05:46

that position of power. That's the

1:05:48

thing. I'm the suit. I sit

1:05:50

in the boardroom. I give the

1:05:52

opinion. Is it right? Is it

1:05:54

wrong? Who knows? But that's my

1:05:57

literal job. And they said to

1:05:59

him, well, you can't do it.

1:06:01

You can't do that. And then

1:06:03

he ended up leaving the company

1:06:05

a few months later because he

1:06:08

said, I cannot work. in an

1:06:10

environment where I cannot give an

1:06:12

opinion freely on a comedian of

1:06:14

color or a gay comedian or

1:06:16

a trans comedian I'm only allowed

1:06:19

to critique straight white men that

1:06:21

seems crazy right and me I

1:06:23

think you're allowed to I think

1:06:25

all of those companies were like

1:06:27

you're not allowed yours to say

1:06:29

only negative things about straight white

1:06:32

men and Tim Dylan if you

1:06:34

have a negative thing to say

1:06:36

about a gay person it's to

1:06:38

be said about Tim Dylan and

1:06:40

that's it but So this was

1:06:43

going on all over the place.

1:06:45

And this is what DEI was.

1:06:47

People, they don't understand what it

1:06:49

is. It doesn't mean every minority

1:06:51

that has a job is DEI.

1:06:54

It doesn't mean that everybody that's

1:06:56

not white is incompetent. It's far

1:06:58

from the truth. That's not true.

1:07:00

And yes, is the right going

1:07:02

overboard criticized everything DEI? Sure. But

1:07:05

what it was, and I just

1:07:07

used that small example of a

1:07:09

story that I personally was told,

1:07:11

and I know that person. It's

1:07:13

a real story. I use that

1:07:16

example because that's what DEI was.

1:07:18

What DEI was was reordering all

1:07:20

of these institutions and saying, you're

1:07:22

not allowed to talk about this.

1:07:24

You're not allowed to say that.

1:07:26

You can only have an opinion

1:07:29

on this. We have to have

1:07:31

a quota, which includes this. So

1:07:33

if you don't like something, you

1:07:35

better start to like it because

1:07:37

we're coming after your job if

1:07:40

you do not fall in line.

1:07:42

DEI could have also been called

1:07:44

fall in line. That's what it

1:07:46

was. So you had that that

1:07:48

created resentment, it created anger. It

1:07:51

was basically a reordering of these

1:07:53

institutions' priorities and they were not

1:07:55

concerned at all with quality. and

1:07:57

they were not concerned with competence

1:07:59

chiefly. Those were not their chief

1:08:02

concerns, their chief concerns were how

1:08:04

many... people of X group are

1:08:06

being represented in this thing. Okay,

1:08:08

and I know that from my

1:08:10

vantage point. I'm in the entertainment

1:08:13

business. And there's, and even in

1:08:15

the parts of the business, I'm

1:08:17

really not in, people talk to

1:08:19

me. And they tell me. So

1:08:21

what you did with that was

1:08:23

create a very unsustainable. And people

1:08:26

have talked about this before. unsustainable

1:08:29

way to govern any institution

1:08:32

because everybody starts fighting who's

1:08:34

been more oppressed blacks Jews

1:08:36

Jewish blacks Muslims Hispanics the

1:08:38

disabled gay people trans people

1:08:40

trans Muslim Hispanic disabled like

1:08:42

it becomes a war and

1:08:44

it's not sustainable so whatever

1:08:46

that whatever ethos you're using

1:08:48

here to govern these institutions.

1:08:50

Hollywood used to be a

1:08:52

place, okay, that was run

1:08:54

pretty much by sociopaths, who

1:08:57

took big risks, where if

1:08:59

a movie succeeded, their entire

1:09:01

life was made, and if

1:09:03

it failed, in many cases,

1:09:05

their entire life was obliterated.

1:09:07

Okay? It was run by

1:09:09

gamblers and risk takers, kind

1:09:11

of the cowboy Western mentality.

1:09:13

It then was turned over

1:09:15

to these like collegiate, you

1:09:17

know, pseudo-intellectual types that came

1:09:19

out of universities in America

1:09:22

that were indoctrinated into this

1:09:24

belief system of using art

1:09:26

as a tool for cultural

1:09:28

change. Now that's always been

1:09:30

going on to some degree,

1:09:32

but over the last four

1:09:34

years it was really intense

1:09:36

and somewhat silly. And there

1:09:38

is a pendulum swing now.

1:09:40

There is a pushback. A

1:09:42

lot of riders are out

1:09:44

of work. A lot of...

1:09:47

people are suffering. A lot

1:09:49

of people that were led

1:09:51

into a writer's strike by

1:09:53

psychopaths, in my opinion, who

1:09:55

were demanding that some of

1:09:57

the people in this town

1:09:59

who had just had a

1:10:01

job by sheer luck get

1:10:03

paid more for it. You

1:10:05

know, my friend who works

1:10:07

at a company goes, I

1:10:09

make my hundred and something

1:10:12

grand, he goes, 120 grand,

1:10:14

he goes, I don't speak

1:10:16

up. They don't really know

1:10:18

I'm there. I don't do

1:10:20

too much work. I don't

1:10:22

get on anyone's nerves. I'm

1:10:24

not trying to get ahead.

1:10:26

And I don't do too

1:10:28

little work where I'm on

1:10:30

the chopping block. He goes,

1:10:32

I just float around. Most

1:10:34

people probably don't even know

1:10:37

I'm here. This is not

1:10:39

this is not an entertainment

1:10:41

company. It's another company. There

1:10:43

were a lot of people

1:10:45

in this town that were

1:10:47

kind of just getting getting

1:10:49

by and making good money

1:10:51

doing kind of bullshit. And

1:10:53

then they tried to. demand

1:10:55

more and they got a

1:10:57

little greedy and I'm not

1:11:00

saying some of them weren't

1:11:02

abused but a lot of

1:11:04

them were getting greedy and

1:11:06

now they have nothing and

1:11:08

that's unfortunate because people got

1:11:10

a little greedy and while

1:11:12

they all sat there for

1:11:14

a year the internet continued

1:11:16

to do what the internet

1:11:18

does it multiplies and multiplies

1:11:20

and multiplies. Let's finish up

1:11:22

here with DD. Drag

1:11:25

is Dewey Cosgrova Tienza. Laddi La

1:11:27

Rouge, he they in Drag District

1:11:30

3. My legal name is Olivia

1:11:32

Dambrosio. My public name is Livi

1:11:34

Scanlon. My wife and I own

1:11:37

a home in the canal district.

1:11:39

I speak as someone who is

1:11:41

always misgendered like all the time.

1:11:44

People refer to me as sir

1:11:46

when I prefer to be referred

1:11:49

to as ma'am. I speak as

1:11:51

someone who is afraid to use

1:11:53

public toilets. This is, by the

1:11:56

way, whatever. this is where a

1:11:58

guy who's not even attempting to

1:12:00

look like a woman is enraged

1:12:03

that people are thinking is a

1:12:05

what like I don't know I

1:12:07

don't know what's happening anymore but

1:12:10

here's what I will say I

1:12:12

don't I'm watching closely on the

1:12:14

musk stuff I am I'm a

1:12:17

I don't I'm not someone who's

1:12:19

just going to support tech people

1:12:22

no matter what I don't I

1:12:24

don't know him well enough I

1:12:26

don't I don't I don't think

1:12:29

he's Satan and I don't know.

1:12:31

I'm very skeptical of the designs

1:12:33

of some of these tech people.

1:12:36

I am. And I don't know

1:12:38

if they're concerned about America. I've

1:12:40

said that a million times, but

1:12:43

I'm also, you know, withholding judgment

1:12:45

here on the rollout of some

1:12:47

of this stuff because I'm also

1:12:50

not going to, I'm not in

1:12:52

the camp of people. that believe

1:12:54

that all of this U.S. aid

1:12:57

stuff is used for good purpose.

1:12:59

And by the way, go speak

1:13:02

to people in these countries about

1:13:04

some of this aid that we're

1:13:06

giving. And I'm not saying we're

1:13:09

not giving them, but this idea

1:13:11

that what we're just going around

1:13:13

helping people, said he was going

1:13:16

to... purge. Now, do people obviously

1:13:18

want this more than they want,

1:13:20

cheap eggs? Probably not, and that

1:13:23

might be reflected in the midterms,

1:13:25

but this was what not only

1:13:27

Trump, but every Republican wants to

1:13:30

purge government of employees and shrink

1:13:32

the government and eliminate federal spending

1:13:35

in federal ways. This is actually

1:13:37

what Republicans talked about years ago

1:13:39

before the party became more of

1:13:42

a big government party and It

1:13:44

focused itself on cultural issues or

1:13:46

it focused itself on war. Before

1:13:49

it was about terrorism and war,

1:13:51

the Republican Party was always about

1:13:53

this stuff. It was always about

1:13:56

like this agency. is not, and

1:13:58

I don't think Musk is going

1:14:00

to take Social Security and try

1:14:03

to get rid of it. Again,

1:14:05

the Democrats will win all of

1:14:07

the seats, right? I think Trump

1:14:10

has to be careful. I think

1:14:12

he knows that. I think you

1:14:15

see it in his face. I

1:14:17

think he knows that. It's going

1:14:19

to be interesting to watch this

1:14:22

play out. You know, for sure.

1:14:24

And I know there's probably good

1:14:26

people out there that have lost

1:14:29

money, and I know. Is the

1:14:31

cigarette smoking girl from Abu Ghraib

1:14:33

still getting her pension? Get Lindy

1:14:36

England up. If I find out,

1:14:38

because this is where I draw

1:14:40

the line, okay? Hit image. Get

1:14:43

that picture up where she's leased

1:14:45

all those people. If I find

1:14:48

out that Lindy England is not

1:14:50

collecting a pension, I'm going to

1:14:52

lose my mind. I

1:14:54

am telling you right

1:14:56

now, get her up.

1:14:59

Is she still getting

1:15:01

her pension? I'm telling

1:15:03

you right now, I

1:15:05

hope to God she's

1:15:07

getting her pension. Cigarette

1:15:09

smoking leash girl from

1:15:11

Abu Ghraib. Because if

1:15:13

these budget cuts are

1:15:15

affecting her, I'm going

1:15:17

to lose my mind.

1:15:19

Cigarette smoking leash girl

1:15:21

from Abu Ghraib. I'm

1:15:23

telling you. I

1:15:25

hope she's still doing

1:15:28

good. I hope CIA

1:15:30

contractor cigarette smoking leash

1:15:32

girl, there she is,

1:15:35

is still receiving her

1:15:37

pension. That's my main

1:15:39

concern. And it should

1:15:42

be for all Americans,

1:15:44

the main concern is,

1:15:46

is she receiving her

1:15:49

pension? Is she still

1:15:51

on the government dull?

1:15:54

Are people who kidnap people

1:15:56

in the middle of the

1:15:58

night still getting their money?

1:16:01

I need to know that

1:16:03

as an American citizen. timnillencom.com

1:16:05

for all your comedic needs.

1:16:07

We'll see you on Patreon.

1:16:10

We'll see you next week.

1:16:12

We're in Canada. This will

1:16:14

be out. But there might

1:16:16

be some tickets left for

1:16:19

Vancouver. We'll be in Edmonton

1:16:21

Thursday. Is Vancouver Friday or

1:16:23

Saturday? We're in Edmonton. The

1:16:26

show's already passed. Can't do

1:16:28

anything about that. And then.

1:16:30

There might be some tickets

1:16:32

probably on the late show

1:16:35

in Vancouver. When is that?

1:16:37

Saturday? Friday. Friday. Well, you

1:16:39

miss that too. Calgary. There's

1:16:41

some late, late, late show

1:16:44

tickets at Calgary and then

1:16:46

Winnipeg. There's only a few

1:16:48

left. But, you know, that's

1:16:50

our little Canadian swing. And

1:16:53

then I will be back

1:16:55

here watching all of this

1:16:57

stuff unfold with you. as

1:17:00

well, keeping an eye on

1:17:02

these things. I don't know

1:17:04

which way this is going

1:17:06

to go. It seems, you

1:17:08

know, it's interesting that Trump

1:17:10

said about Vance, because he's

1:17:12

not my successor. It remains

1:17:14

to be seen whether Vance

1:17:16

is my successor or not.

1:17:18

And, you know, so what

1:17:21

Trump is basically saying is

1:17:23

I demand loyalty for the

1:17:25

next four year. I will

1:17:27

not, it really, it's interesting

1:17:29

to watch to see what

1:17:31

Trump. is basically saying there

1:17:33

to advance, he's basically saying,

1:17:35

listen, we're not done yet.

1:17:37

I don't know, you know,

1:17:39

it's kind of a, I

1:17:41

don't know if it's, I

1:17:43

wouldn't call it quite a

1:17:45

shot that he's firing advance,

1:17:47

but it's interesting to say,

1:17:49

listen, we just started, we've

1:17:51

done some work here, I

1:17:53

don't know if this guy's

1:17:55

my successor or not. So

1:17:57

this will all be very interesting to watch. And

1:18:00

if the Democratic Party has

1:18:02

any designs on retaking power,

1:18:04

I would certainly try

1:18:06

to get someone out

1:18:08

there in front someone a

1:18:10

blue front without a Thank

1:18:12

you. you.
