469 - Zohran’s Victory, Air Traffic Chaos, & Government Shutdown

I have come from 3i Atlas to give you technology. The human race has been benefiting from our technology for a very long millennia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. They just elected a Muslim socialist, the mayor of New York City. It's over. Wait, what? Free buses, government-run grocery stores. The end. Who's gonna pay for that? Who's gonna pay for it? I hope you have the technology. There's gonna be a mass exodus from the city. Yeah, they're already calling him the most popular realtor in South Florida. They're gonna live in Miami and go to foam parties with Marco Rubio, which isn't gay. It's just people in foam together. Yeah, I was thinking about buying property in the city. No more. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Yeah. And what about Israel? Well, who's gonna. Park that car in the middle of the street there. Sorry, we're gonna move it in two seconds. You're right dead smack in the middle of the line. All right, we're moving it in two seconds. People here think they have money like California, but they don't. They're actually just white trash. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. Thank you for tuning in again. The new mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, has been elected. He is the future. He is the future. Get over it. If you're unhappy about it, get over it. If you have to wear a burka, get over it. If you have to convert to Islam, get over it. So what? If you have to start understanding the faith, so what? It's not a big deal. What are you doing? What have you got going on that is better than that? Can I ask you? What do you have going on that is better than converting to Islam? People do it in prison and a lot of them like it. So what's the big deal? What's the big deal? You don't have time to read the Quran when you're online at just salad and you're waiting for them to add a protein to your salad so you can go to your meaningless office job? Go read the Quran. So what? Who cares? What's the big deal? Obviously, he was going to win. This isn't shocking to anybody. And yet people still treat it as such. I get calls from people that were like, I can't believe this is actually happening. This is like Trump. When Trump won, people were calling me going, I can't believe this is actually. And I go, well, it was one of the options. It was like one of the only options. And the thing happened that everyone thought was going to happen. He was a little cringe in his speech because he's like a theater kid. And a lot of these people are theater kids. So there's a moment of his speech. Now, I don't know if you have this, but if you can get up a moment where he goes, Donald Trump, I know you're watching and I've got four words for you. Turn the volume up. And it was just a moment when you could see the theater kid in him. You could see. You could see that kind of cringe. You know, that theater kid. Like. Just very unappealing side of him. Hopefully he keeps that at bay. Let's watch it. So you can understand what I mean, because by the way. This is a departure from what he's usually acted like. He's not. He's been kind of composed. This feels a little bit like it almost felt like he was breaking in his song. Like he's like, Donald Trump, hear me now. I will. And you're like, all right, bro. Chill the fuck out. Let's watch this. So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching. I have four words for you. Turn the volume up. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, you know. Yeah. Okay. Turn the volume up. We'll see what happens. Here's my attitude with this guy. There's a lot to not like. But if it doesn't work, I will just leave. Because I don't care. This is the actual only way to approach. I don't care is now not only necessary and appropriate. It is vital to your mental health. I don't care. I don't care. Well, what if he, what if he, I don't care. I'll leave. I'll just leave. You can just leave. I don't think he's going to do. The things people think he's going to do. I don't think we're going to have rapes on every corner. I hope not. But if we do, if we have a rape on every corner. Like a violent rape on every corner. I'll stay for a few months. Because it'll be interesting. You know, but then eventually I'll be like another rape. I'm trying to get in my steps. You know what I mean? Like if it's like, wait, another rape. I'm like, what? I'm trying to go to the Greek place. So if it's going to be a rape on every corner, I'll just go. I'll just skedaddle. But I don't think it will be. But why did he win? Well, obviously he won because people don't have money. It's pretty simple. People have these lives they plan out from when they're little. I didn't do this. My mother was a schizophrenic. And my father was like in and out of the band. Phenomenal. But we never filled out a college application. It wasn't, that wasn't the thing. I had a typical Long Island, mere do well childhood. There were elements that were good. There were indications that I had. There were certain qualities that might make me successful at some point. But my parents were very busy working and they didn't really nurture my success. They just didn't really, that wasn't their thing. And again, I'm not blaming them. I'm not, I'm not like, I'm just saying because of that upbringing, I expected almost nothing. Almost nothing from the world. Like literally almost nothing. Um, you know, but there are people out there who really start very early and believe, and I'm not saying they're wrong. I'm just telling you the, the, the, the makeup of this type of person. They go to, they do well in school. They do their homework. They get into a good college. They get an internship while they're at college. They work. They work hard at their internship. They then get a, a good job at a good firm and they, you know, work their ass off. And those are the people that are finding it increasingly difficult to afford New York city. Those people, the paint by numbers, pin a ribbon on me. I did all of the right things. I have all of the right views. I post all of the right things on social media. I say, you know, the things I'm supposed to say, I don't rock the boat. I am a very nice, albeit forgettable, but you know, I'm, I'm, I'm a, I'm a professional face in the crowd and I deserve more than, and they're, and they're right. By the way, they're not wrong. Do I love these people? No, they bore me. I'm bored. Does it? I don't hate them. I'm not like kill them, but they're boring. They're normies. They're boring. They bore me. They're boring. I, I like people that have more. To say, or maybe that are, they had a different route in life. And I, a lot of my friends are normies and I, and I, I, I, because they're my friends, I'm friends with them, but if they weren't my friends, I wouldn't be friends with them. If I didn't know them for a long time, they would bore me to death. And I, and it's not because of, it's not their fault. They're just boring. And, and, and, and, and, and vapid and a surface and, and. and dull and pointless and their lives don't have any meaning and they infect me with how boring and dull they are and their concerns are so small and petty what a waste of a life they live but I don't dislike them do you see but they that is the coalition that Zoran has he has a coalition of angry boring mediocre people that have done the right things and have gotten very little for it okay and the things he is talking about he's right about things are too expensive people feel that they're not getting ahead and the Republican Party which is have they've lost their goddamn mind they're arguing about who's allowed to talk to who on the internet but yet all the flights are being grounded the airspace is being closed we've got a government shutdown the money is still going out the door to so we can invade Venezuela arm Israel arm the Ukraine or or it's a giveaway to Palantir so that Peter Thiel can install surveillance technology in all the cities that that riding is going to happen in in three two what I mean like it's it's coming you can feel it and that's where the Republican Party is so the Democratic Party would swept New Jersey swept New York swept Virginia they're concentrating on on things that matter how to get people more money there that's what because by the way that that is all they want to do by the way that sign that you see those protests I could be at brunch right now that's all they want have you tried to have brunch and how much that is but that's all they want to do all these people want to do is have brunch all they want to do is have brunch I know them that's all they want to do and they can't even do that all they want to do is have brunch all they want to do is have Nutella Nutella stuffed French toast and talk about where they want to go on vacation their lives have no meaning so they they need money they need something to do because we create we we've we've given them the idea we buy all of these people off that's how the society works we buy them off they don't question anything um they're kind of like perpetual teenagers these are the 40 year old women with crushes on like Harry Styles or they all love Disney they're all constantly reliving their childhood and men too by the way um we buy them off we pay them so that they can live in their homes and be perpetual forever children and and they do their meaningless work and they come home and they cuddle up and they watch Netflix watch the summer I turned pretty and they're mad at me why did it end the way that and it's it's that's the lives we've created in New York City to be their meaningless lives uh people used to come to New York City and fail and die and that might happen again soon I'm excited but people used to come to try to be great you can yell at wealthy people it's the only reason people live in New York City is to get rich by the way even the people that are mad at it but it's the only reason people live in New York City is to get rich by the way even the people that are mad at it New York City was a city as A.A. Gill the great travel writer R.I.P. said was built on a lot more failure than success it was never a nice city it was culturally important the most important you know it's the greatest city in the world in in in measured in the impact it's had the only competitor is London the only one L.A.'s never been a competitor Miami's not a competitor Nashville and Austin sorry guys not competitors in in measured in in raw impact financially culturally it's it's New York but New York's become the burbs it's become the suburbs and with the suburbs comma suburban mentality they come in with the Wegmans grocery stores and they bring the suburban mentality where everything is uh about convenience everything uh becomes about comfort and it is very easy to rile these people up because they feel that they should be getting more a bigger slice of the pie they're not necessarily wrong but this is why these are the people it's not really like yes are there broke people that are truly fucked yes they exist and I'm sure a lot of them voted for Zoran but a lot of these people energy his constituency brings is an energy from the burbs into New York City and these people are trying to buy meaning in their lives because they don't understand the point they look around they go what exactly is the point that's what they're they're they're trying to figure that out they're going get on this subway every day they're going get on this subway every day they're going get on this subway every day I pack in I go to the area by Bryant Park I go to Midtown I go into an office and I and I and I and I do nothing that matters to anyone to anyone nothing nothing and then I and I have my lunch and I talk to some bitch next to me and she does nothing that matters nothing and we go then back on the train and we go back on the train and back to our tiny apartment and we don't know what we're getting out of this we want more money because that's what the whole thing's about people lie they can say it's not but they go what am I doing this for why did I move here why am I here if I cannot share in the disgusting wealth that certain people have by the way not judging it but that's what it is people are pissed they go where the fuck's my money where's my goddamn money their parents visit them in their little little prison cell and the parents go oh this is nice this is nice and it's a passive-aggressive thing and again these these are people that have four-year degrees some of them have graduate degrees they think they're very smart and they're very valuable because someone told them that someone somewhere told them that someone somewhere told them how valuable they were they have degrees on the wall that show how valuable they are I'm valuable they did all the right things and they're living in a little prison cell in Brooklyn and they're getting older they're getting older and they're mad and they're going to elect someone who's going to be a president and they're going to elect someone who's going to say we're going to and by the way let it happen I'm not I'm not even remotely upset by this guy winning I don't care at all and if he can help he should help but I've been a New Yorker my whole life so I'm just telling you who what's happening what's happening it's it's a lot of money to go to a Broadway show it's a lot of money to go to a Yankee game it's a lot of money to go to a Yankee game it's a lot of money to eat and you see these people and they're all up there in the bleeds at the U.S. Open taking photos in the bleeds pissed pissed that I'm courtside they're mad they look at my fat ass courtside and they're mad there's not a they would elect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed they don't care they would elect anyone to to what happened they said they're angry they're in the bleeds I'm not making it all about me I'm just saying these are the people that quote unquote did the right thing and they're in the bleeds at the U.S. Open they can barely see it's like a speck Yannick Sinner's like a little speck and fuck tennis by the way who cares stupid anyway it's stupid you're supposed to only care about it for those fucking for that week that it happens in New York but they're pissed then they get on the seven train bed and they're like this this is it this is all it is I I I I go to fucking the U.S. Open I sit in the bleeds I put a photo on Instagram my little brother or sister makes fun of my seats and then I get back on the seven train and I go back to my prison cell and then tomorrow I get to wake up and go to the fucking office for what for what for nothing then they go to the Hamptons to their boss's house and they're pissed because he bought it a long time ago and now it's a lot of money and people are being condescending to them. The boss's wife is being condescending to them and they're mad and they sit on that Chitney bus that goes home from the Hamptons and they're a little buzzed and they're like, fuck it, I'll throw the Burke on. I'll put a Burke on. I'll put a Burke on and I'll fly a plane into a building if I have to. I'm gonna fly a plane into the building. This is fucked up. They're sitting in Queens, US Open traffic in the Chitney going, yeah, I was there the other night. I was in a fucking bleeds. I'm coming back from my boss's fucking scumbag Labor Day party in the Hamptons. His cunt wife was demeaning to me and my other worthless friend. I'm a worthless piece of shit. Fuck all these people. Kill them. Take what they got. Kill them. Fly the plane into a building. Get on that plane and fly it into a building. I'm sick of it. That's the, that's the energy. That's the energy. 9-11 was nothing if it wasn't cinematic. Okay. Everyone's a star of their own movie in their mind and a lot of these people's movies suck. What movie is this? You're on some hinge date in some hellish Bushwick bar trying to sound, to sound smarter than you are with nothing. Nothing. And you're mad. You're mad. You go, I can't live like this anymore. You're going to fly a plane into a, I want to fly a plane into a building. I'm going to fly a plane into the Pentagon. That might not have happened. It might probably was a missile. I want to shoot a missile into the Pentagon and say it was a plane. That's what the smart people say. I want to shoot a missile into the Pentagon. And say it's a plane. Your friend goes, why would you do that? Because narratives matter. Jesus, are you listening to me? They're angry, these people. What life is it? People start realizing, now I had comedy. I had a terrible life. I lived in horrible places. I spent time with, you know, with all kinds of, all manner of degenerates. But I was, I was doing one thing. I was trying to do a thing. So, like, it shielded me from ever evaluating my life. There was no other metric to which I evaluated my life. I was like, oh, I got on that show. And I killed on that show. But I lived in a dump. I didn't have a lot of social shit going on. Like, almost none. Okay? I had no money. I wasn't in a thrilling, thrilling relationship. Okay? I wasn't, like, walking into my apartment and some guy with a huge dick was just hitting me in the head with it. I was just trying to get by. By doing one thing and one thing well. And I accepted the uncertainty and hellishness of that this group will not. They will not. Number one, there's nothing for them to do. By the way. There's nothing for them to do. And number two, the promise of their life is comfort. Since they're young. The promise of their life is comfort. Nobody's going to say anything to them they dislike. So, they, right now, are fully, justifiably, from their point of view, angry and they want to fly a plane into a building. That's what they want. And I get it. They want to fly a plane into a building and then another plane into another building and then another building that wasn't even hit should just collapse. That's how mad they are. Collapse because of fire at its core. Wah, wah, wah. Tim Dillon's Real is brought to you by Mod. Mod prescribes a once or twice daily modafinil drink that can keep your energized, focused.

Oh, let's watch her for a minute. This woman. I don't know this woman. Democrats are ascendant and they should just shut up because here's the deal. They're winning. When you're winning, it behooves you to pipe down. Just win. Don't be the angry winner. What's that? Nobody wants that. So the Democrat pundit class, again, gets. This woman apparently is famous because she's some type of. I don't know what she is. She hosts a podcast called I've Had It. Yeah. Great. So she. And her name's Jennifer Welch? Yes. And she's a liberal white woman and God bless her. And hey, I get it. And she's here and she's ragging on white people. And saying America has no culture. And you would think on a night where you were celebrating a historic win, you would just shut up and let it happen. But instead we're doing this. Let's see. I'm here right now and we're being boring as shit. I've grown up in those circles. Everybody needs some spice to color in their lives. Life's a lot better. That's the coolest thing about America. Americans have no culture except for multiculturalism. Well said. And we need to teach people how to embrace that. These crusty white people need to learn how to embrace it. Okay. So she goes, Americans have no culture except multiculturalism and these crusty white people need to embrace it. This is a teachable moment. And the lesson here that should be learned is that this, that energy is the opposite of everything. That is going to propel them to win. What's propelling them to win right now is talking about the fucking money. It's about the fucking money. People don't have enough. She's going to a place nobody wants to go. It doesn't, it doesn't help anybody to talk about old crusty white people and Americans having no culture. It's not true that Americans have no culture. America doesn't have a culture, but, but, but let's forget that point. Obviously that's not true. But the reason that she doesn't, she, she's going obviously towards culture and, and the kind of like aesthetic concerns of a like wine drunk white lady is because she's constantly trying to show, and this is not just her. I don't even know about this woman. I don't care. I don't care. But it's, it's that group of people. They're constantly trying to show how evolved they are by throwing their own people under the bus. White people don't have any culture. These old crusty white people. I mean, she's kind of talking about herself. She's not a young woman. She's an older woman. She's talking about herself. She goes, these old crusty white people, I run in those circles. She even said that. She goes, I come from these circles of white rich people. We know. And what she's saying is fuck us. We suck. The only way we have any value is if we embrace multiculturalism, whatever that means. You know? So calm her down, quiet her down and keep this about money. If you keep it about money, the Republicans are fucking people now and it's going to get ugly. Let's go into these flights because I'm curious about this is Secretary Sean Duffy warns Democrats that in one week, the shutdown will cause mass chaos as air traffic controllers miss paychecks, possibly forcing airspace closures. And by the way, spoiler alert, we're there. We're there right now. Let's watch. The controllers got 90% of one payment, 80 to 90% of one payment. They missed the second paycheck. On Thursday, they get an email pay stub that'll show what their next payment is going to be. Just. First of all, pause this. Just go to work. If you're an air traffic controller, be honest. Just go to fucking work. No, literally. Is this why you do it for money? You scumbag. That's why you do it for fucking money. That's what when the plane lands safely, all you care about is money. What a disgusting culture we've created. Go to fucking work, slobs. That'll show what their next payment is going to be. So this Thursday, they'll get an email that shows that their pay stub is a big fat zero. Many of the controllers said, a lot of us can navigate missing one paycheck not everybody but a lot of us can none of us can manage missing two paychecks i'll do it so if pause it i'll do it how hard could this be i'll do it i'll do it let volunteer air traffic controllers do it now let them do it all the january 6 people that were pardoned put them in a tower put the air traffic controllers in a tower january 6 people that were pardoned put them in a tower now how hard could this be it's easy there's the plane all right land on a runway to your left hey southwest behind him chill you relax southwest in fact do a go around i don't even we got we got an emirates on the fucking we got an emirates on the runway i don't even want to see your broke ass southwest do a go around we don't want you landing near an emirates okay you you fucking hick how hard could it be to be an air traffic controller we need volunteers to step the fuck up and start doing the air traffic control in this country volunteer air it's actually a great idea volunteer air traffic controllers people that are retired they're bored they don't need the money some of these people drive uber to just do something have a little extra cash let's make them air traffic controllers if you're a retired person and you're not a total fucking retard and you could come in we'll give you a quick little you can explain this in an hour i guarantee you can explain this in an hour it's not that complicated the whole thing is just you're in the tower and you see the planes uh yeah be a be a plane and i'll be a person in the tower uh hello laguardia uh air traffic control this is spirit 729 we are coming in for landing are we good to go you're good to go it's spirit 729 just do your thing don't fuck up don't fuck up do your thing okay i mean here's the thing maybe we're at a point where pilots need too much help that's the other thing i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know that's the other thing like maybe we're at that level where it's like what what is this yeah there's a there's a runway put the plane on the runway and then get out of here i mean what do these bums need and tsa they're not showing up no one's showing up because apparently it's all about money to these people they don't care father and son stung to death by hornets while on a ziplining vacation in laos this is a very sad story and it makes me very happy that my father never really took me on any vacations where we did any thing that was about physical exertion my father would take me to places like the chatham sheep herding company where we would make we'd watch lesbians make cheese but you know what i'm alive my father took me to the blantyre castle once the blantyre was a castle in massachusetts was chateau property uh many of the people in chateau property were in chateau property many of the people here are you know probably don't know what it is no offense but it probably closed but it was a really nice but i like to go see rich things when i was young and like there they didn't really even let children at the blantyre see if the blantyre is still there lennox massachusetts they didn't even like children at the blantyre but my father was like he's he's not a regular kid he's not going to want to run around he just wants to see this castle and he just don't let the souffle fall before it gets to the table he hates that i don't know where to take him just please let me take this faggot to your castle he wants to go he wants to go to this castle he doesn't want to go to disney world look at this and and because he had a friend in massachusetts and we visited them and then we went to this cat i wanted to see the castle i wanted to see because i knew that i had to direct my family because my literal my mother and father took me to a place once called the enchanted forest this was like an amusement park in canada look this up i guarantee you they were trying to human traffic me these i guarantee you that's what they were trying to do because no one's even heard of this it was like in canada look how creepy this park is by the way if you can get this up yeah here it is they took me to this i wanted to go to disney world they took me to this satan festival in the park okay they this is a real thing look how creepy this is they took me to this they took me to this it was like this bootleg weird park okay and i guarantee you they were yeah this was like this was like a vacation so i had to start asking and telling my parents where i wanted to go i would look up you know things like i would read and i would they would there would be a mention like i'd read the new york new york magazine or something and there'd be a mention of a place and they'd be like blank blank met at the blantyre or met at wherever and then i would tell my parents because we didn't have the internet back then i'd go hey can we go to this i know you're both white trash but i'd like to go to this so occasionally they would take me to one of these places and they would go like and then they would walk in and my you know a mickey sweater on and my father would walk in and i was so deeply ashamed of them so deeply ashamed of them so so deeply deeply ashamed of them and i would walk in behind them and i would look probably good i had like a kind of an air to me and um i remember once one of the best times ever when i was a little kid i was sitting in this literal we're having lunch in this castle to plant her and a woman walked in and she said where's maurice and the guy went oh maurice is out today she goes i've planned the whole thing with maurice i've planned this entire thing with maurice he goes yeah you know everything's going to be exactly as you had it planned but he's just not in today and then the woman went call him call him and he goes oh it's his day off the woman goes call maurice and me and my father thought that was hilarious because number one when you're poor like i was my father was nothing's better than seeing another poor person abused that is the greatest feeling in life if you have a day off from getting abused seeing another loser get abused is great number two i immediately knew um um that i wanted to to to to be in a place like that because i found it very uh it was a really inspiring which i get but to me that was very inspiring when she said call maurice call maurice where the fuck is he it's the day of the event where is he i've planned the whole thing with him and i found that really inspiring i said that's kind of a beautiful moment there between different types of people and everyone doing and it was kind of beautiful now of course the commies in the audience get mad at that because they think they should be the one planning the event sorry um but there was something beautiful there about that woman i i knew immediately that that woman wasn't happier than the waiter she wasn't her life wasn't necessarily better because she had more money um her material concerns were better but her life was not necessarily happier and it wasn't necessarily better because she had more money and she had might not it didn't have more value than that waiter but in that moment i understood that this woman for whatever reason wanted to these she just wanted maurice she didn't care about anything else it was a level of focus as a child my family's never had my family never had any focus my mother and father would try my they would like my dad would be like we're gonna jog every morning i said okay we do it one time one time and then like three months later we would we'd walk one other time there was no focus my mother didn't have any focus they would get distracted by like food pizza they get distracted no focus and the focus at the plantar castle that i remember is this woman go where is maurice straight lock eyes with the guy where is he i planned it with him he's not in today but i planned it with him well everything will be the same call him i want to talk to i want to hear why he's not in i want to hear the sound of his voice focus tunnel there was something beautiful about that and as a young child to me that is still my best vacation that's the vacation i enjoyed the most because i got to see that who gives a i've done batman the ride who can't what is that who cares okay That was a moment that I'll always remember My entire life When a woman had had enough And she wanted Maurice And I sat there And my father kind of giggled As he like ate his soup And he goes She's not playing around He said that to me He goes She's not playing around And even he knew He knew that she wasn't fucking around You know And my father One thing that I've always been proud of my father Is that he always He never pretended that our family unit Was something it wasn't He always was like Listen Those people are in that part of the world Because they're not slobs We are disgusting and lazy Slovenly bums That's My family That's a photo of everyone in my family right there With a cane and a top hat Because we're Irish And the Irish are just to talk And to bullshit And

I'm just asking I'm just asking here Does this seem Like a serious Does it seem like these people Are serious Capable people That are Figuring out ways to Or does this seem kind of like a joke? Does it feel a little bit like You're being trolled By these people? It does feel a little bit like that Go to Kash Patel's tweet About his girlfriend And how she's such a great singer And he's sick of people Making fun of her And I mean obviously She's not dating Kash Patel For any other reason Other than the fact that She's getting something out of it I don't know what that is I'm all for transactional relationships I'd prefer You know To not date people that are You know potential spies But who knows We don't know Maybe she's not Maybe she's not Part of the issue With the Trump team Is that half the administration And the people that are around That believe that America Needs an aristocracy That we need to get rid of Democracy And we need to just elevate A group of elite aristocrats To run the country And that's the Yarvin types And there are a lot of big donors That are That are coming into play There's a guy His name I'm escaping It's Chris Ruskirk Or Rusk something And Bannon Who's kind of on the other side Is going I hate this tech oligarchy I hate them And I don't want anything To do with them And they scare me But they have all the money So half of the Trump administration Is people that are genuinely going What can we do To tank the economy Crater it And then build it back Our way How do we usher in a surveillance state That's more draconian Even than the one we have now How do we eliminate Any constitutional checks and balances On what we want to do They believe the American government Has failed And they want to replace it Now That's a lot of the tech people That are in Washington D.C. And I know A lot about A lot of them And this is And you can too By the way It's pretty easy to look up This isn't like hidden That's a substantial Power faction Within that administration People that want to get rid of The American government And replace it With an A.I. government Or a Straight up oligarchy Of tech Feudalists Who don't believe In representative power In representative government They believe in Buying you off With crypto Which will be Biometrically linked To you When you're born You know It'll be like Your eyes blink And you've got However much crypto They think you need To survive Because there's not Going to be any jobs These are the conversations That they're having The jobs are going to go away And then what are you going to do With all these people Well you need to surveil them You need to find a way To give them money But I don't think You're going to be traveling They don't want you traveling They've even said that Larry Fink Has come out and said Hey folks You know We're in the period Where all these assets Are being tokenized It's all going on the blockchain And You know We're beginning a Massive transformation Of the economy You could call it The fourth industrial revolution But it is a massive transformation Of the existing economy So you have guys like Larry Fink And Connor Get up that thing Where the guy says I don't know if we've played it On the show before Where he goes You may travel If you're a rich person You may travel But if you're a poor person You might travel from your house You might put on some VR goggles Sit on your couch And that's how you're going to travel So all of this chaos Is ultimately good For that contingent Of people in Washington D.C. And Silicon Valley Silicon Valley and other places as well. one of these big donors is from Ohio, and they want you to sit in your house. They don't want you on a plane. They don't want you going anywhere, and they're counting down to when you have no job, and they're trying to figure out how to keep you from storming the fucking federal court or the governor's mansion or whatever when you have nothing. None of this is like some wacky conspiracy far-out thing. This is generally meetings behind closed doors in Washington, D.C., people going, what do we do with them? Let's watch this. People of means who are going to travel, and then there's going to be people maybe of lesser means who might actually be able to use an Oculus or a Magic Leap or some other kind of device to travel to the same place, but from their own couch. But in many ways, it's actually going to create even more distance between those two people that psychologically. Yeah, they go, that's the point. They're all staring at him going, that's the point. That's the point. He goes, now, in many ways, that will create actually more distance, and then there's four people, if you're listening to this, there's four people at the World Economic Forum staring at him going, right. It's like a doctor going, so now if you take this Oseptic, you might lose it. They go, right. Doctor, that's why we're doing that. So these four people are staring at. Who is this? Andrew Ross Sorkin? Yeah. Yeah. So there's four people that are staring at him, and he's like, actually. And this is how out of it journalists are, by the way. He's like, so now the guy. They might be traveling to the same place. One of them has an Oculus, and they're sitting on their couch, and one of them's actually going, and that's actually going to create more distance. Of course it is. Why are you even saying it? It looks like it's a shock. One guy's on his couch. Of course it is. He's like that. So if you're in Stade skiing, and there's a guy on his couch thinking he's skiing, you're actually living two different lives. Yes, Andrew. That is the point. That is all we've ever cared about. All these people, they're so close to getting what they've actually always wanted, which is that you're literally, you're happy to just live in Netflix. That's all they want. That's all they want, by the way. All they want is you to live in Netflix. Look at me. I'm in Breaking Bad. I'm Walter White. Once they allow you to live in a complete reality that they've created, they get the world. They don't have to see your face anymore. That's that woman from that couch. I want to speak to Maurice. Well, I've planned it all with Maurice. Call him. Call Maurice. But that's what they're looking to do. Back to cash. Cash Patel here. Cash Patel, okay? This is the director of the FBI. And I know Candace covered this. I was actually on the phone with her. I talked about this. The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis, a true patriot, and the woman I'm proud to call my partner in life are beyond pathetic. She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in 10 lifetimes. By the way, by the way, how could that even possibly be true? But go on. I'm so blessed she's in my life. Can we get any of her music up or will we get a copyright strike from the FBI? If we play Cash Patel's girlfriend's country music, will we get a copyright strike from the feds? Because I'm curious, by the way, if she's a country music sensation, I would just like to know that. I would like to know that. I'd like to be, uh. I think if we just play a little bit, it'll be okay. Okay. And she goes, Israel! They're like, no, no, hold on. You didn't get the lyrics? Tel Aviv, I've been in Tel Aviv. It's such a pretty sea. I love Tel Aviv. Israel is for me. I love Kashmir. Tell Indians don't smell. That's a stereotype. I'm just a country star. I met him at a bar. I'm not a homicide plant. Why would you say that? There's lots of files in the office. It's impossible to say which ones are Jeffrey's. Let it go. She releases a song. Let it go. Because we're proud Americans. We're concerned. With our families, we don't need to see no files. Mind your own business. That's a Kash Patel girlfriend. God bless her and her music. Maybe go over to Kalshi.com and bet on when do you think, how long do you think the government shut down? The last many people I know think it'll go to Thanksgiving. How fucked up is that? Um, that's fucked. Tim Dillon shows brought to you by mod mod prescribes a once or twice daily modafinil drink that can keep your energized focused.

Study finds nearly half of all LGBTQ plus characters will disappear from TV next season due to series cancellations. Well, here's what happened. Um, people started to get stuff on TV just because it showcased a gay, lesbian, transgender, non-binary, storyline. Some of the greatest characters in TV and movie history have been gay, lesbian, blah, bitty, blah, trans. But if you're getting projects on the air simply because you have a diverse character or storyline that you're shoehorning into something, it's going to suck. People are not going to watch it. And a lot of them are going to get canceled. This is what happened. We had an era when people just wanted to paint by numbers and they wanted, they wanted to check boxes and they would say, let's get this show on because this shows about, um, uh, you know, whatever one legged Palestinian non-binary barista or whatever, you know, which I would watch that. That actually does sound good. Like a one legged Palestinian kind of wheeling into a Brooklyn coffee shop and then falls in love with a Jewish woman that I will watch. But many of it isn't good. Many of them aren't good. So, so I think what's happening right now is that there's a kind of a detente, hopefully, um, in the sense that people are no longer trying to force these shows. If they totally suck. That doesn't mean also that there isn't a pendulum swing. There's always pendulum swings. Now the Republicans. Now the only one who seems to get it as crazy as he might be is Steve Bannon who goes, no, no, no, we're, we're in deep trouble. Um, Bannon is talking about that. And he's telling the people on his side of the aisle, they're in real trouble because the pendulum is now swinging back to economic concerns. Public and parties talking about shit. No, no, no, nobody cares about. And they're having, it's infighting. It's squabbling. It's all this stuff. And the, and the Democrats are ascendant because by the way, why not? Uh, no one's life is better since Trump took office, by the way. So, at the end of the day, it's like, why not have an economic focus? I don't agree with a lot of his public safety shit. And I hope the city doesn't get, you know, completely insane, but I don't think it will. Um, but you're going to see a lot of people. Yeah. Let's, let's watch Bannon here because again, something interesting about this guy, you know, whether you love him, hate him, you find him dangerous. You know, I don't love all this stuff about like, Oh, Trump's running again and all this stuff. And it, By the way, he keeps talking about oh this trump's a generational leader yeah but under trump we've seen a massive cover-up of a child sex trafficking ring we've seen um you know we've not seen the thriving economy that we saw in the first term we've seen very sloppy immigration enforcement inhumane and cruel raids that by the way ultimately will get democrats elected so number one the reason to not like the raids if you're if you're a person the reason to not like them is because they're inhumane and a lot of them are barbaric some of them are necessary and some of these people have done fucked up things and are criminals and some people are breaking the law and need to go home and and some people that even aren't criminals that have been here however long maybe it's a few years or whatever the case may be or need to be deported like they would be in any other country on earth but the way that they're being carried out the you know christine noam reposting these ai videos the the needless cruelty the unprofessionalism ice agents in the halloween mask all this stuff democrats are getting elected and will continue to get elected so if you're on the right you look at this and you go this has done nothing ultimately for border security will ultimately hurt it if you care about a secure border which democrats probably don't it's not part of their platform really now if they're smart and they make it part of their platform i think they'll easily win but again i tell all these people what to do no one does what i want so everyone gets what they get it's fine and i get it who's listening to me you're not gonna always listen to me that's fine but bannon kind of gets what's happening maybe on a cellular level that other people don't most people in america are not ideologues the republicans are captured right now by ideology a lot of cerebral discourse on the future of america and the role of women and this and that people are really focused on their pocketbooks their money people are not going to go back to the 1950s it's not going to happen this is a fantasy and these guys want to go back to the pax romana these people want like the catholic inquisition that's not going to happen in america sane sober-minded people are never going to support that nor should they it's the fantasy of people that spend most of their days online but what americans will do they will elect people that will make the material better and bannon knows that and that's why trump won trump won because of a cratering economy people are looking at immigration going it's out of control money's going abroad our kids don't have a future those were republican issues and they've lost them let's see bannon here and i will tell you right now as god is my witness if we lose the midterms and we lose 2028 some in this room are going to prison myself included he always he kind of likes jail he's always talking about going to jail but go on they're not going to stop they are getting more and more and more radical and we have to counter that and what do we have to counter it with we have to counter it with more action more intense action more urgency we're burning daylight if you look across every aspect of this we have to codify what president trump has done by executive order right we have we have to codify it and people say where they're just going to be messing around we got to we've got to put aside these structural barriers and get on with it he understood what's interesting about this guy he understands that and and again you could love him or hate him and i i i don't hate him but i'm also i think he's like he's a he's a forced it's he's like a chaos it's a force of chaos but he's very interesting to listen to and i had him on the show i interviewed him and what he understands about the country is he does understand this forces that are trying to tear it apart all the time not just every four years or occasionally and he knows some of those forces are embedded in the administration i've talked to him about it privately he knows and publicly he said it he knows that a lot of forces in and around the administration are trying to steer it into a techno utopian society where the rights of an american citizen are are essentially meaningless they don't matter they are not you know they're not the principle by which society is built society is built uh in this new version with a huge emphasis on efficiency and people's rights getting trampled on and people's ability to live freely is going to be um diminished to serve the greater goal of this transformation of society go to larry fink and get the tokenization of assets up i want to and i don't know if we have the video of that or if it's just a quote from him but there might be a video and they're they're talking about the the transformation of the world economy the global economy and the the the whole entire thing is is is there's two parts to it there's the financial part which is you know i don't understand and i'm not an expert and i'm not going to pretend to be and i'm how that's all going to work but the other part of that is going to be the the power how power is exercised in society and who has it and and what they're willing to do this is the uh i believe this is larry fink who is uh the ceo of blackrock larry fink friend of the show larry fink everyone i do believe we're just at the beginning of the tokenization of all assets from real estate to equities to bonds across the board there's 4.1 trillion dollars of money in city globally digital wallets a lot of that money is outside the united states if we could tokenize a etf you know digitize that etf we can have investors who are just beginning to you know invest in markets through let's say crypto they're investing in it but now we could get them into the more traditional long-term retirement products so we look at that as the next wave of opportunity for blackrock over the next tens of years as we start focusing moving away from you know traditional financial assets by repotting them in a digital manner and then having people stay in that digital ecosystem right well here's the thing it's kind of like a soft fascism where you don't need a gun in your head because you can get they can turn you off so you can get put in jail for a social media post they can turn the money supply off that you have they have a digital id they can mandate you know if it's a vaccination or if it's a carbon passport and allow you to travel they're gearing up for the next phase which will be a i've always said it will be climate related and i still think that's a huge part of it where they will kind of limit travel they will talk about carbon emissions this is they're doing this all over the world um they took a little bit and i and i think part of the immigration um the reason that they've flooded societies with immigration number one you can look at obviously it's people like angela merkel that just want to be you know time magazine's person of the year and people want to you know seem like they're on the right side and all of that but one of the reasons that they have made and will continue to make societies more chaotic is because the more chaos that's present in a society the easier it's going to be to get people to accept the next phase of what's coming that's pretty obvious so if you know all of your neighbors and you all work and have a great life and are thriving and you're all looking out for each other and by the way you're not all the same race or but there's a there's a shared understanding of the values that you all have and you you're you're living in a community and by the way i'm now describing communities you have to be a multi-millionaire to live in by the way those regular gilmore girls american communities that everybody dreamed about those communities now are places like the hamptons the sag harbor or whatever these little cute towns in westchester new york or somewhere in the south and you know but these are expensive and the very basic things that i'm talking about are now they cost an arm and a leg and most people are priced out of that so most people are living in very large cities or you know kind of urban areas they don't really know anybody and that's fun when you're young and fun if you're old and rich but less fun If you're middle-aged and you don't have a ton of money, it's less fun to live in a box. in Brooklyn, the first 20 minutes of the episode. But then you look around at the surrounding suburbs and a lot of them have been completely destroyed. So the reason that you would do that and you wouldn't care about the culture of a country is if you were about to completely rebuild it from the ground up, completely restructure it. If you didn't, if you wanted less hurdles to that, you'd make people poor, you'd make them broke, you would make their communities into not, they wouldn't be desirable places to live. You would flood the country with different groups of people who didn't have a lot in common so that all of those people could never get together and oppose the things you want to do. You'd make people pretty desperate. You'd get rid of, you'd get rid of education standards. You would, you know, hollow out people's financial standing. They wouldn't be able to retire. Obviously we've had a broken healthcare system forever. All of that would be done wittingly or unwittingly, but it unwittingly seems odd. It's a hell of a coincidence that all of this has happened and now the next, the next phase will be the, every single problem that I just described, the solution is going to be participation in the next phase. And if you resist, you'll be able to resist. They're not going to come and show up to your house and put guns in your face yet, but you're just not going to get any of the things. So all of the things and the goodies and the creature comforts, that you may want are going to come with a price. And the price is going to be, you're going to now get on the grid in a serious major way. And if you refuse that, you can go live in a, you know, you could go live in a, in a, in a, in a, in a failing town. That's infrastructure is crumbling that we put no money into. But if you want to live in the city, the 15 minute city where you can walk and get stuff and you want a little job and it's a part-time job, you got to do the things. You got to get the digital ID. You got to, you know, you're going to have to, you know, submit to all these background checks and mental health scans and everything like that to make sure that you are not any type of problem that's coming and we can see it. And there's two phases of that. There's, there's many phases, but the main two are the transformation of the economy and then the transformation of the place. It's going to be a political and cultural environment. And there are elements of the Trump administration and elements of their donors and funders that are pushing this to an unbelievable degree. And they want it to happen now. They want it to happen now. They want the rollout to start sooner. And if JD Vance wants a political future, he's going to have to come out and either distance himself from these people or talk about, what exactly his vision is. He's going to have to break with Trump on some things. And because the people that I'm talking about, and we all know who they are, obviously it's companies like Palantir, but it's not only them, by the way, it's not only that there's a lot of companies and there's a lot of donors that believe this stuff too. And they're, they're connected to Trump and some of them helped him win. So this is where we're at right now. And if you think I'm wrong, you can say I'm wrong. I'm not wrong. You know, I mean, okay. Hopefully I'm right. I'd love to be wrong. I'd love to go, well, I was wrong about that. But it's very obvious that this government shutdown is only good for people that are sitting in the back going massive dysfunction, will require a massive response that will be nothing like you've ever seen. It will be different than anything that's come before. And there are elements of that community, the tech community, the big money donors that believe there needs to be an aristocracy, that the American government is kind of an outdated, archaic, broken thing. And that it needs to be replaced and people don't care about democracy. They just want food, shelter, housing, you know, things. That's all they care about. They don't want rights. They don't want the freedom to say things or do things. They just want a standard of living. And if you give them that, they're going to be okay with it. They'll be okay with everything you do. They're not going to ask too many questions. So, so, I never went down a zip line with my father in Laos. I never did it. I never did it. I never did it. But from a very young age, I made my parents take me on the types of vacations where I could observe the types of people that I met later in life that I'm talking about right now on this show. Hopefully, in another dimension, that poor kid who died is going to be an expert on zip lines or bugs or Laos or rivers or something or anti-venom. Because I became an expert because my father took me to a castle and a woman said, I've planned everything with Maurice and call him. And by the way, the people in D.C. have planned everything with Maurice. And they're calling him right now. Good luck. Tim Dillon's show is brought to you by Mod. It builds up.
