473 - Pete Hegseth, War Crimes, & The Breakfast Rush
63m 7s
A young man is accused of stabbing and killing his parents in a Long Island deli during the morning breakfast rush, a deeply symbolic event in a community known for its family-centered delis. The speaker, who grew up on Long Island, uses the incident to explore the cultural and societal decay of modern America. He contrasts the peaceful, traditional atmosphere of a Long Island deli with the violent act of a son killing his parents, highlighting how such tragedies reflect deeper flaws in suburban life—drug addiction, moral detachment, and a lack of community cohesion. The event is not isolated but part of a larger societal trend, where political narratives are shaped by performative violence, such as bombing drug-related boats in Venezuela, to distract from economic struggles and systemic failures. The speaker critiques the absence of national purpose in American politics, noting that only Silicon Valley tech elites have a coherent vision, while others are consumed by division and destruction. He argues that mainstream culture has become apathetic and detached, with people embracing nihilistic or drug-based lifestyles as entertainment. The tragedy illustrates how violence is normalized and used as political theater, especially during holidays when public attention is easily diverted. Ultimately, the story reflects a breakdown in values, where tradition, formality, and moral responsibility have eroded, leaving society reliant on sensationalism and performative cruelty to maintain a sense of stability.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan show. A young man killed his parents in Long Island, in a Long Island deli. And I read about this on Long Island, there is a deli. I believe in Beth Page and a young man who was troubled. He had a drug addiction killed both of his parents. I believe stabbed them to death in a Long Island deli. And I don't like hearing that because that's where I grew up. And I don't I don't like to hear that. Now, this is into as rare as you'd think on Long Island. There's actually a lot of people who do kill their parents. This is true. And it's something that it's something that's just hangs in the air is that people kill their parents on Long Island. This is not something that's completely unheard of. Unfortunately, this does happen. And you know, I get it. Obviously, I would never kill my parents and I would never want anyone to be killed. And I would never want anyone's parents to be killed. And I would certainly never want anyone to be killed in a deli, which should be a place of love and kind of, you know, reflection. That's what a deli is. You should be able to kind of eat and kind of reflect on your day, your week, your month, your year, the trajectory of your life, whatever. I mean, sitting in a deli should be peaceful. You should not be dealing with a guy who came into stab his parents, but just knowing a lot of people on Long Island and knowing kind of, you know, that whole thing, that whole dynamic, I'm trying to be very careful about how I say this, but I can, I can understand and I'm obviously would never condone it. Obviously, I mean, I don't know how many disclaimers I need here, but I think that fans and the listeners know what I'm trying to say. I understand this. I do not agree with it, but I have met enough people on that island. You know, I grew up there. I lived there for many years. And I get and here's the other thing people aren't going to like, I get to do in both of them, because if you kill one of your parents on Long Island, the other one will just become such a cunt. I mean, gender unimportant. If you kill one of your parents on Long Island, the other parent will become so insufferable and they will use it as a way, by the way, uh, to constantly, they, it'll be like you kill them. Like the one that survives will complain so much, not that they even love their significant other that much either. They will just use it forever. My son killed my husband. Like it will, it'll never end. It will never end. So I get having to kind of do them both to get rid of both of them because you go, I'll, if I kill one of these people, I will never hear the end of it. Just because of the types of, you know, the personality types. And now this guy, um, police said a man and woman were stabbed to death just after nine a.m. Thursday in the deli. They had owned for decades. A man was taken into custody shortly after. And while police did not confirm the individual's identity or his relationship to the victims, friends of the shop owners said the man was one of the couple's three sons. His hands was bloody. His clothes were bloody. And he was just leaning on his car. I didn't know anything that happened at the time, but he just sat on his car, said witness, Brandon James. Near the crime scene, the daughter, the owner's daughter was inconsolable. His friends comforted her inside the deli. Another man saw the man walk out from the back of the shop. I just seen the sun walking out. I mean, this is really, I mean, these quotes, the grammar and these quotes, these long island goons, they can barely speak. And he says that I stabbed my parents. And that was it. He was very cool. Like nothing happened. I mean, what? These are the actual quotes from the article. I just see the sun walking out. And he says that, Hey, I stabbed my parents. And that was it. Can you believe this guy? This guy comes out and goes, Hey, I stabbed my parents. I stabbed my mama and my papa. It's so fucked up. You stabbed me to deli 9 AM. The smell of bacon on the griddle. You've got a bacon egg and cheese waiting for you. And this guy comes in because this was someone's favorite deli. You know, everyone in Long Island has a deli. I grew up with great delis. You know, there, there are fewer and there are fewer and far between now. That doesn't mean there's not a lot of delis, but the ones that I grew up with were truly great. I don't know anything about this deli. And I'm sure I'll hear from friends and people. They're like, I know the people or I've been to that deli or whatever. Or somebody will always have a beef. They'll be like, well, I actually didn't like them that much. But a Long Island deli in the morning is one of the greatest places you can ever be. A Long Island deli in the morning is one of the greatest places you can ever be because everyone really, people don't go to a Long Island deli to start the day. They go to finish the day. They go to the, it's the end of the day. If you go to a Long Island deli, you hit image of this deli. Let's see what this jelly looks like. I'm getting hungry. Was this a, um, this looks like a little was this a little bit of Italian deli? Yeah. Yeah. A lot of these are Italian delis and they got little pizza happening as well. I wonder if they, yeah, they did breakfast, of course. That's the thing about a Long Island deli. You know, when you're in Manhattan or you're in wherever you are and you're in a place, people are getting their egg whites, turkey, hot sauce, because they're starting the day and they're going to go make a million dollars and get a wife. But Long Island delis are where you go to end the day. You get the caloric intake of the day in one sandwich and then you go sit in an office and do nothing except read comments on the internet and go insane. That's the entire day of Long Island. It's your life. It's actually not bad. You eat so much would you get once you have finished your breakfast on Long Island, you are done. You're done. It's two or three eggs, bacon, American cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup on a roll. Some people will do a hungry man hero that includes a hash brown and ham. That's a little excessive. In my opinion, you might get a chocolate milk, a Ronnie Brooke farms, perhaps a Nestle quick. And a lot of these people chased out with a siggy or they'll chase it with a nice big tall cup of coffee with a lot of coffee creamer. You might see French vanilla, French vanilla is a big coffee creamer at on the island. But some people might do a little holiday cookie creamer, a little amaretto, a little hazelnut. Whatever floats your boat. And then you just go sit in an office and read things on the internet that make you insane. And then you eat lunch. And then you go home and you sit in your house. And you eat again. And maybe you go out to dinner or to a bar and drink. And this is it. So this is a holy sacrament in the morning, the big and egg and cheese in Long Island. And this guy went in and he stabbed his two parents in the deli. Mama Mia, let's watch a little bit of this news story here. Again, this is from, and I had to cover this right up front and then we'll get into like, I don't know, what is Pete Hegseth doing? He's killing a fisherman there in Venezuela. But we'll get into that. We'll get into that. He just wants to kill people that guy. Have you seen that guy's face? And I think he killed only two people. You got, here's the thing. In America, that's like a thing if you kill a few people, you got to kill a lot of people for us to turn the other way. You killed two people. We're all over that. You need to kill so many people that frankly, we get kind of like, you know, overwhelmed, you know,
overwhelmed if you start, if they started killing so many people over there in Venezuela, you could find a justification for it. You get overwhelmed. You go, yeah, I guess there's a reason they're killing all those people, but you kill a few people. It's confusing. I'm like, why are you doing that? What's that one boat? What's that one little tiny boat that he's, is he's a, how many drugs are on that little boat? All right. Let's watch this here. Double murder, a long island place of my birth in a deli, no less. Come on. It's a long island where a man is in custody tonight accused of brutally stabbing and killing the owners of a beloved deli. It happened during the breakfast rush and witnesses. Now, by the way, by the way, so they've already, they're letting you know what a big deal that breakfast rush is. He just wants to let you know that first of all, we've already moved on past the stabbing. Now we're all going, wow, it's the breakfast rush. It's the height of the morning. This is the big, long island. It's about mornings and nights, the days are nothing. The days are kind of nothing, no matter how much money you have. If you live out in the Hamptons of days or nothing, you kind of like wander around an empty beach and take a pill or something. And if you have no money, the days are nothing because you sit in like a debt collection office and call people and threaten them. And you also have no money. Now so he's saying it's the breakfast rush, there's hash browns, people run the grill and this guy's going to kill people in the morning. It's crazy. Go on. And here say they believe the alleged killer is the couple's own son. News force, Paisy Chang is live in Beth Page with a horrific turn of events. Paisy. Yeah, David, it happened here at A&A deli and anybody who has ever been into this deli say that the owners were just amazing people. If you went in here, you didn't have enough change, you didn't have enough money. They would always just say, forget about it. Come back tomorrow. Come back tomorrow. It wasn't a big deal. Very kind, very generous and they are all trying to make sense of this senseless tragedy. Crime scene detectives. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on a minute. Go back to just go back to see her. This is to just educate people that don't know where I'm from in my life. This is the where I come from. Okay, just go back again, please and just try to freeze it on that Asian woman. Yeah, see if we can, can we get some light on that so I can see it? Yeah, just freeze. Oh, you can't freeze it without damage. You have a Carvella ice cream right next to this Italian deli where I come from I should be 900 pounds. You are so, I mean, it's you're so destroyed every day of your life. This is a deli that also has pizza. Do you understand what I mean? It's a good deli because just also eat pizza while you're here, just eat pizza while you're shopping. And then next to it, there's ice cream, it's unreal, but and this story, I don't know why this story got me so much. You know, again, this show has become so big. We talk about so many of these things, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, do you see this weekend at the DC improv and I get invited to all these, you know, Christmas things are going on around watch. Yeah, I really don't think I'm going to go to any of them because I really just, I really just trash these people on the show. And then it's weird to kind of see them. If you see them, you're eating a little meatball at some big part of your event. But I also may go, but because the food will be free, but I don't want to be attacked by cash Patel's girlfriend in DC. What's her name? Alexis Wilkins. I don't want to be attacked by Alexis Wilkins in DC. I don't want to be attacked by this woman or worse, what if she's singing Christmas songs? That's even worse. I don't want to be, you know, I'm like, I'm like, I'm, I'm eating a tiny crab cake in the corner. And then I'm, I'm, I just, it's Alexis Wilkins. I see her from the corner of the room and she makes it beeline to me. I'll just face time. Candace Owens and hold my phone out like a cross. You are repelled. All right. Let's go back to this here because, but and here's what I mean, here's my point. You can't forget where you came from and where I come from truly is. And I don't say this with any joy, the worst people in the world. I mean, there is nothing. This man killed his parents during the breakfast rush. They are without conscience and they don't care. Here they are. Crime scene detectives removing evidence from A and A deli in Beth Page, a fixture in the community. Now the scene right next to bottle depot. Do you understand the hell that I come from? It is an Italian deli. It is sandwiched in between Carvelle ice cream and bottle depot, a place where you buy alcohol. You drink it and then you die. I'm telling you right now, you need to understand where I am from. And we must celebrate the fact that I have crawled out of that pit, but kind of also now looking at that strip more want to crawl back in it because I have realized meeting all the people I've met and seeing what I've seen. I've kind of realized that as bad as Long Island is, it is the natural state of life. Long Island is the natural state of life, which is why it's so ugly. We hate seeing it. We don't like seeing it because it is life in its natural state. Truly, which is like gross and cruel and and and that's what it is. And that's why I appreciate it now when I go back there. I appreciate it for what it is, which is the it is just the raw state of what we've done here. This is the suburbs. This is what we've done. This is what society really, it's not like some quaint little town. It's not like a little Gilmore girls town where everybody's like knows each other and you know everybody's, oh, I love the soup. They make it the organic grocer and we're going to go with lentil soup day. No, that's not what it is. What civilization really is is bottle depot and someone who's killing their parents in the deli. This is what the America is now. It's the culmination of everything we've ever done. By the way, when you look around the America, it's the culmination of everything we've ever done. There are no surprises. Nothing is shocking. If you have even the smallest amount of intelligence, there's nothing, there's nothing we use. No trend. We go, how do we get here? Whoa. Whoa. Wow. This went left. No, it didn't. This went exactly to where it was going to go. This went to exactly the place that anyone could have protected it. I'm sorry, that could have predicted it was going to go. The suburban sprawl, the poison, the drugs, the alcohol, the consumerism, the food, the hatred, the division, all of it, all of it across the board. This is what it looks like. This is what it looks like that we have zero national purpose anymore. The people that are trying to introduce a national purpose are trying to, it's only about dominating the people they disagree with. The only national purpose that anyone puts forward is to destroy half their country. That's the only purpose that anyone's put forward. By the way, everyone's like, oh, we got a national purpose. Women should have vote, kill gays, kill up, burn them, or the other side, their national purpose is to just infect everybody with whatever madness spell they're under. That's the problem in the body politic is that there is no purpose that doesn't involve destroying half of the country. We don't have one. We don't have one on any level, by the way, there's, there's not one thing we can agree. The only people in our society who've agreed on anything all run AI companies, they're the, think about this. These are the only people who agree on anything are Silicon Valley, AI entrepreneurs, and they all agree that we should leave the planet. And by we, they mean them. And that's the only people that are in agreement. One else is like, we just, they're a bottle depot. They're at the Italian dally with pizza, or they're at the Carvella ice cream. And if you go get a vanilla milkshake with chocolate, you bring crunchy swirl through the shake. It's unreal. But that's what I mean. You have two sides. If you have one side who wants to dominate the other side, you have the, you know, both sides want to kill the other side. And then the only people who agree, the only agreement we have in our country right now is in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Menlo Park. These are the only people that have agreed and they've agreed that.
that borders and countries are fake, they've agreed that governments have no legitimacy to tell them what to do or to limit their products, they've agreed that the Earth as a planet is kind of getting old and maybe it's time to shed that and get out of here, they've agreed that humanity itself should go away and should be augmented with superior technology so that AI doesn't defeat us, we must merge with it. All of those decisions have been made, they believe we should live in a surveillance state and they believe that we will live in a kind of feudal system where digital money, crypto will reign supreme and that we will have sort of a digital surveillance and police state, they're, they're all agreed, they're all agreed. Everyone else fighting about abortion, they, they're fully on agreed to the left, to the right, it doesn't matter, they don't care. So they're the only people in America that have a national purpose, if you talk to the AI people, they're, they're busy, they fully have a national purpose, they have a purpose, they get it, defeat, try now, be the leader in AI technology, leave the planet and slave the population, fully, fully on board, they have a purpose. Everybody else, bottle depot, going over to the methadone clinic, this is the state of the countries, everything that we've ever done has led to this, every decision that we've ever made from urban planning to architecture, every level of government, state, local, federal, all of these things add up to what you're looking at right now, the strip mall, where a drug addict stabs two of his parents in the deli that they own, this is a horrible story, obviously, but everything leads to this, everything leads to this, let's watch a little bit more here. They were just hard working people, you know, I mean a staple like in this neighborhood for so long, like it's crazy to believe they're not here anymore. Where's my sandwich? That's what she wanted to say. By the way, I know they're dead. Where's the food? I've been standing here 45 minutes. Can one of their children fry an egg? One of the ones that didn't stab them? Because I've been here 45 minutes. By the way, not to be morbid, but this is such a hot topic. I guarantee you they love like Long Island, this is such a exciting, did you hear? It's a big thing at the nail salon. It's going to be a big thing in the schools to teachers, little coffee clutch. A bunch of teachers get together in the break room, did you hear? This is going to be a big story. And that's what Pete Hegg said, they're all trying to cause Maduro. There is some relationship, he has to the drug dealers in Venezuela, obviously. Now a lot of fans, it all comes from China. Some of it comes in from Mexico. There's, I'm sure there's some coming in from Venezuela. Of course there is a regime change war decapitating the government. I don't know. I mean, what are we doing? I mean, nobody knows what we're doing. I don't think anybody knows what we're doing here. But I guess Pete Hegg Seth are secretary of war. It's kind of denying that he committed a war crime because people are now saying that top Republicans have joined Democrats and demanding answers about the escalating military campaign. The Trump administration says is aimed at targeting drug traffickers. So here's the thing. The remarks came in response. We had Washington Post report on Friday that said the defense secretary Pete Hegg Seth had given a verbal order to kill everyone aboard boats, suspected of smuggling drugs. And that this led a military commander to carry out a second strike to kill those who had initially survived an attack in early September. Obviously, if that occurred, that would be very serious and I agree that that would be an illegal act. Representative Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio and former chairman of the intelligence committee sent on face and Asian. They got to kill people. This is what the thing is. The Epstein thing is like a, like a, it's like an albatross around their neck. You just can't get rid of it. They can't shake it. They're covering up a human trafficking ring. They can't shake it. They can't shake it. So they, the economy is tough. There's more layoffs now than at any time since COVID, the economy is tanking. People feel very apprehensive about the holiday season, shopping, getting presents for their family and step by the way, stop. Then don't ears that the kids get present, stop with the adults. I'm telling you now, I'm telling you now, I used to always kind of bemoan what had happened to the holidays and I still do people shopping sweatpants. People look like shit. Nobody dresses up. The food isn't good. No one cares. People are, you know, it's just, there's no pride in the holidays. Anyone when I grew up, my grandmother, my grandfather, there was pride in people address nicely. There'd be a formal dinner. People would sit there. There would be multiple courses of food and there would be discussion and conversation and prayer and whatever your rituals are. But now we don't have that. We have a lot of people sitting on a couch and snuggies and onesies and people all kind of look like they just get at rehab and they all are on pills. And they're all just kind of sitting there. They're all PTSD trauma victims. I don't know why, but they are because of traffic because they can't handle traffic. So everybody's just like sort of a trauma victim whose mind has been wiped and they're just eating like Pillsbury dope croissants on a couch from IKEA. It's filthy. It's disgusting. And I, so I've been moaned the holidays and now people are actually starting to agree with me. They're all coming around to this to go, you know, you're right. You've been saying this for years, but it's true. People are going, yeah, it doesn't feel like the holidays anymore. And I'll tell you why it's the lack of formality in the country. It's the lack of formality in the country. A lot of this is when, when finance was our industry. Say what you want about the finance people, their crooks, their scum, whatever. Sure. But they were suit. The tech people are very casual and they kind of wear much more casual clothing. And that has been and they are the people that have the most money now and they're the most powerful and they have the political influence. And that tech aesthetic has infected a lot of the elites top tier higher end people. And they're walking around in jeans and they're walking around without a tie and maybe no one is a blazer and maybe so, so now, by the way, it all right, get what are these people wear? This is what tech people kind of wear. I mean, they look right. They're in hoodies. They're walking around Stanford. They're nerds. They're slums. Fine. It's okay. Look at basis. Look at it. Look at him. This guy's one of the wealthiest people in the entire world. And again, this outfit would be your earth science teacher. That's what your earth science teacher would look like in 2002. That's what your earth science teacher would look like. That guy's one of the wealthiest men in the world. He doesn't look at it. He looks like an earth science teacher because the tech people exude this kind of casual because they're casually destroying everything. It's the whole point. They don't want to be too, they don't want to dress too formally while they're, you know, instituting systems of mass death. But they, they're very influential because rich people now are aping them and looking like them. Now it bleeds all the way down to the point where you're at your Christmas and no one is dressed up and no one looks nice. And it's a, it's a very casual and I think that that's one of the reasons the holidays have declined. And I think if you want the holidays to be better, I think you should institute a dress code. This is something that the Tim Dillon show is actually talking about is actually instituting a dress code into the holiday where people actually, if you're going to go to the trouble of cooking or or catering or ordering food or whatever you're going to do, people need to show up to your house. It cannot show up in sweatpants and they cannot look like they just got out of the hospital. It cannot show up in a hospital gown and paper slippers and sit there. It's not a ward. It's a home. But you have a lot of anxiety.
anxiety about how much money people have right now with Everything happening. I think we've had like a million layoffs I read that last night. So here's we can have to do You can have to kill people and they and they look at Venezuela and they're a good boogie man because they were Socialists and we've never really liked them From Hugo Chavez and he's calm and I say calm so and then drugs Well, do you want to get stabbed in your deli by your drug addict son? What so we're gonna kill my terror So then as well as like a good that's a good one the Middle East is too tricky right now Israel and the gods that that whole thing is it was too tricky and There's a lot of bad PR at in America now With all with the whole Middle East. So we got to stay out of the Middle East for a while So we're going back to our old bag of tricks, which is South America We're going back to South America now because the Middle East got too hot When you're selling drugs on a block and the block becomes hot It means that maybe the police are surveilling it and you got to move your operation So what happened in the Middle East was Israel went wild. They bombed Katoa Ally Katoa We had to go. Hey you guys got to chill the fuck out. Israel was a war with like seven countries Saudi Arabia are our boy over there are The American dollar system kind of you know again partially held up by the Saudi the petro dollar It's like the American monetary system and there's a lot of internal And external strife right now regarding the last two years in the Middle East. It's traumatic It's traumatic But we still need to kill people right now to just show people that we have a functioning government We don't there's no way to show anyone that we have a functioning government unless a guy comes on TV and goes We're gonna we're killing someone right now. I Know you're unemployed, but watch this. We're we're bombing about this is what people are doing They're in their delies waiting to get stabbed by their children and They're watching Fox News and they're watching a boat blow up and they're going we're still a functioning government And I mean, I know it's funny, but this is absolutely true It is right now one of the only ways to prove that we're a functioning government is for Pete Higgs had to go on TV and go we're killing someone Because of the drugs We're we're we're we're we're blowing up about do we have a video of this? Can we get a video of the boat being blown up? This is how it is This is how it is folks. Let's take a look at this see look we're we're a government There it is Boomers love this. Hey, hey, it may not rate with you. You fucking zoomer. Fuck you Fuck you, you millennial narcissist a boomer loves a grainy video of a boat being blown up In a country. We didn't even know we were mad at we didn't even know they were the problem We barely have heard of them We barely heard of it's like what the rush you craining happen You crane was our greatest ally our best friend. We didn't even heard of these people No one had said anything because it was just Hunter Biden and people getting like Contracts and all these like Nepo baby crackheads going to work at Ukrainian gas companies I wasn't getting those jobs. You weren't getting those jobs. This was Nepo baby political Nepo baby crack addicts Having a lot of fun over there in a cave You know with a gun and a hookers mouth getting money So that's why they didn't talk much about Ukraine and then Russia invaded Ukraine in my estimation after We had kind of weirdly been obsessed with the idea of including Ukraine in the NATO and then kind of instigating a little bit and then Russia and again, I you know inappropriately if it makes anyone feel better Invaded to Ukraine and it's been a bloody horrible war, which has been egged on by Financial interest weapons manufacturers in the United States in Europe and It's ugly, but we didn't know much about the Ukraine that we didn't know that like we owed them like Everything in the world and that you know like there'd be Ukrainian but now by the way just keep in mind I'm not a heartless person. I feel terrible. I had a comedian on who now lives in Texas Who is Ukrainian? I felt very bad about what happened? If I could wave a wand, I'd have the war not happen at all But it was very it's very interesting to me that there's Ukrainian flags all over Beverly Hills all over LA And you see them all over everywhere And I had no idea how close of a relationship we had with Ukraine. I just didn't know I Did not know that. I didn't know it. I was surprised by it When I saw all the Ukrainian flags come out And I have some of these people are probably from Ukraine. I get it. I'm not I'm not like Some like psycho I just was surprised like right now. I'm surprised by how much Then is wella Is the threat to us Again, I didn't know this. I'm a relatively intelligent person. I pay pretty close attention to the news It's my job. I had no idea that like then is wella Was responsible for all of the drugs. I thought it was like I don't know Mexico or China or like any of the countries that we had been told were be you know, you can't start Bomb and boats in China 11 US warships and 15,000 troops now in Caribbean as well and tensions escalate So here's the thing folks up a boomer likes to see a video of a boat getting bought their knee and there's a narrative and he's a social and it makes sense It fits. It's casting and it works It works. We need a little bit of something going on and this works. It's Venezuela. It's perfect It's perfect drugs are a big problem Drug addicts are stabbing their parents in Long Island, Ellie's we know it's a problem and This kind of allows us to do what we do The American government it barely functions people got to realize that it like doesn't function really It closes Just you know the shutdown happens You know people are in feuds all the time Interest groups are fighting over Who owns what politician? I mean? The government is listen, it's not to say that our country doesn't function our country functions But getting legislation passed through the government. This is anyone will tell you this is like near impossible Unless it's something like the big beautiful bill. Nobody even knows what that is They just know that Sam Altman got a lot of money a bunch of people get thrown off Medicare ice gets a lot of money And some of these ice rages show barbaric and they're so crazy and he's like 19 year old college students Being deported to Honduras and they've lived their their whole life again It's it's wrong on its face like it shouldn't be happening in the chaotic insane way that it's happening. It's you know When you look at someone a grandmother get handcuffed and zip tied it's thrown into a car by a bunch of masked psychopaths Not only is that wrong, but if that if the choice becomes that Or having no immigration enforcement a Lot of people are just gonna go well. We don't want to be part of this We don't want to do this so then you have a situation where You have people coming in you don't know who they are because you've made immigration regulation synonymous with zip tying children and Old women and and rushing in the high school graduations so any enforcement People are gonna go well, we don't want to be part of that So some of these ice rites. I just look at them and I go long-term What exactly I mean now Palantir has gotten in on the game Palantir has said We're gonna we're gonna help you deport people. This is the tech companies game by the way. They're gonna talk about God They're gonna they're gonna get on their they're gonna they're gonna do what Elon did with Twitter He goes we call it X now and you can say the N word and We're gonna talk about God that we're gonna deport people and while we're doing all of this Behind the scenes we're gonna create this digital police state and You're gonna be with it or you're not but We're going to play Kate you with things we think Culturally you feel comfortable with The truly progressive position on immigration is extreme skepticism says Alex Carp a long-time Democrat and the data management companies chief etc. It's great that he's a long-time Democrat. You go what's interesting about
about the Silicon Valley people is they're all radical libertarians, none of them actually believe in governments. None of them believe that the government should be able to tell them what to do. They're progressive maybe on social policies and economic policy to a degree they believe like, you know, they're maybe they're like, whatever, you know, pro gay marriage and there's a lot of women in leadership roles in Silicon Valley or whatever. But the reality is none of them are progressive in the sense that they believe that any entity outside of their multi billion dollar and soon to be trillion dollar corporations can, can regulate them. They don't want to be regulated, they don't want anyone telling them what to do. And this has been that way for a pretty long time. And they believe that the United States government tax dollars should subsidize their efforts to build a new world that excludes anybody's right to criticize it. That's what they're doing. A new world that excludes anyone's right to criticize it. And here's the thing. Now now they're gone. Well, let's get into these ice raids. Let's start deporting people because what we'll be able to do is we'll be able to curry favor with the United States government and they'll help with the war. You know, they they sold a bunch of tech to Israel. They'll be helping with Venezuela, I'm sure. Volunteer software is helping US immigration and customs enforcement track undocumented immigrants that deport them faster, according to federal procurement, filings and interviews with people who have knowledge of the project and who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive detail. The thing is you're never going to get rid of however many millions of people are in America illegally. You're never going to get rid of them in the span of four years. So the job of any government, basically, I think, is to enforce immigration. You're going to have to deport certain people. Absolutely. You're going to deport people that have committed crime. You're going to deport people that are here for a pretty short amount of time. Well, you need to have some way to do it that it isn't pure chaos. And Marjorie Telegreen said that on the show. The thing you don't want to do is lose the plot completely where people think that all immigration enforcement is cruelty and it's all inhumane. And because you do need to have a country, you need to have a border. You need to figure out what rights you should have as a citizen and it's harder and harder to do this if you have people living in the shadows than aren't citizens that are in some weird legal limbo. And we have an economy. We have a culture. We have all these things where it's hard to assimilate people into these things overnight. So it causes more disruption. It radicalizes people, it pushes people to the political fringes. All the things that people supposedly don't want. So what you need to do is you need to regulate immigration. You need to figure out a way that it doesn't pick. It's the biggest issue everywhere in the world right now at every single country, every western country, every European country, Scandinavian countries, the UK. It's all immigration. It's all of it. It's the biggest motivating factor that gets people out to the polls. And it has to be dealt with. But when you have this clumsy, you know, kind of somewhat insane over the top deportations, people are looking at this and going, you know, and this is what they use as Sabrina Carpenter song. Yeah. Play this. Let's see. It's uncurious. It's uncurious. It's a childish. It's cruel. I think one of the problems with whatever the MAGA movement is involved into is it's duped their hardcore followers so much that the only thing left now is performative cruelty. And I think that, you know, when you look at everything from the Epstein stuff to this, this, you know, crack down on the deep state or whatever this is, all of this stuff has, has it, it hasn't happened and hasn't materialized. And, you know, this blind unyielding support for everything is real does. And this insane pivot to Venezuela and the fact that, you know, save for a few dissenting voices, we might have had more of a commitment in Iran. It's uncurious. And I think a lot of people looking at this and saying, well, the, the lasting we have left is performative cruelty. By the way, it's with the Democrats, the last thing they had left was the, the kind of performative, um, woke liberal, whatever you want to call it, like that performative gobbledy guck of just, you know, like, you know, this holding space crap where, you know, that's the lasting that they have left. They can't deliver any material changed anyone's life. They can't get anyone healthcare. They can't make anyone's life better so they're holding space. You know, the Democrats play this game of like these performative kind of word games and land acknowledgments and these weird like, you know, pseudo prayers that they, they say all the time. But that's the thing with Maggie, you go, you go, wait a minute. All of this stuff seems designed to, it's designed to watch on television, but it doesn't seem real. Like you look at this Venezuela stuff and you just seem, doesn't seem real. Um, we'll see if this sees far holds now they've also done good things. They've gotten rid of certain things that I think were good. I think the DEI stuff was good. I think closing the border was good. They've done some good things for sure. But a lot of people can recognize that any political movement eventually has two parts. It has the part where there's what's actually happening and then the part, it's the show, the show. And when Pete Hegsath tweets Franklin targets Narco terrorists, um, you know, everyone knows someone with a drug problem. It's a great, it's a great narrative. We're blowing up boat. People like it. It's the holidays. It's December. It's cold. People are on their couch. They're watching TV and they see and they're blowing up a boat. So let's watch a little bit of this to just see what we're even talking about here tonight. President Trump defending striking a boat at allegedly carrying drugs to the US twice in early September. I want those boats taken out. And if we have to, we'll attack on land also just like we tack and see, and they're very little coming in by sea. I think we've knocked that over 90% of it. Two people initially survived and the administration says the decision for a second strike killing all on board was made by Admiral Frank Bradley. Today Defense Secretary Pete Hegsath said, even though he watched the first part of the attack live, he'd moved on to his next meeting before the second strike. Admiral Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat. We have his back and the American people are safer because Narco terrorists know you can't bring drugs through the water. So you didn't see any survivors to be clear after that first strike? I did not personally see survivors, but I stand because the thing was on fire. It's exploded in fire smoke. It's on fire. It's on fire. This is called the fog of war. Right. Right. The fog of what they loved. Listen. It's just what we got to do is a country. It's just what we got to do. King and angry at it. Yes. That's a war crimes. Whatever it's what we do. It's December. It's not like this. No, it's just what we're going to do. There's a decision made to just start bombing. We need to start, but something's got to get bombed. I mean, truly, when the Epstein stuffs going down and all this stuff is going down, someone up there goes, we need to start bombing someone like now. We need to pivot people's attention from the economy and the pedophile ring we're covering up to then as well. Let's start blowing up boats. Who cares? They're narco terrorists. Great. We'll blow them up and it'll pivot. And even this is good, even this like war crime thing is good, because what this allows is everyone can fight about this. It's just I live through this forever. I'm sorry that I'm not. I don't feel any way about, I mean, you can't day in and day out. You can't consume this stuff and still care. There's no way to do it at 40. You'd have to be so crazy. You'd have to be so crazy at 40 to still have an emotional investment in that. It's just what it is. We're just blowing up. But this is what happens here. Have you not lived here? Are you new? Are you five? We're blowing stuff up because in narco terrorists and killing your family and fentanyl and crack whatever is whatever you really, you know, whatever you need to believe here. Whatever works, whatever fits, whatever narrative fits, we're going to do it. You know, it's a Bill Hicks joke where he goes. He's a Hitler and whatever you need, it's like, it's just this is the game we play. This is the game we play.
It's like a tried and true method and it really works. It really, really works and kudos. Forget the morality of it. It's not what we're here to analyze. That's not what we're doing. We're actually just looking at this going kudos. Good job. Whoever's in there pushing this, you know your audience and you know it will work. And it is working. In Long Island right now and many suburbs like it, the people that whose children haven't killed them are watching Fox News and they are seeing or MSNBC by the way. And they're either going, oh, are criminal or they're excited that we're blowing up drug dealers in the middle of the ocean. And they're not talking about Epstein and they're not talking about whatever the hell else is in these documents that may or may not come out, redacted or unredacted. And they're not talking as much about the economy and they're not asking to have health care and they're not asking what Palantir is doing. And they're not asking why five tech guys in AI control hefty American economy in San Francisco. They're not asking any of that. They're just watching a boat blow up in the middle of the ocean and good kudos, good job. You know your audience and this is exactly what had to be done. This is exactly what had to be done. This is the type of stuff that people like. Now, there's problems with Madrid. Like Maduro's not really, it's so interesting. We haven't had a Latin American villain in a while. So it's like hard 'cause isn't this him dancing? Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of hard to get mad at them 'cause they like dancing. See this? Yeah, I mean, yeah. It's a little hard to get mad at him, they're dancing. Right. See the muslim, like the Middle East, they don't dance. So we don't see like ISIS dancing. So it's easy, but when we see him dancing, we're like, I don't know. He's not fitting into the villain role. It's the culture sexy, and there's a lot of dancing, and he's wearing a collar shirt. I don't know. It's harder. ISIS, they're all in black robes in a pickup truck with Kalishnikovs, easy done, done. I mean, it's like wardrobe hair and makeup in perfect. This is a little difficult. No one's really afraid of Venezuela. They don't like that gang Trendy Agua, which I imagine is no good. But they don't really, they're not really like, no one's going to bed in this country going, well, Maduro, and you know, he's got to go. He's got to go. So their job is to telegraph how important it is. It's American foreign policy. They go, you don't know what we know. And if you knew what we knew, if you had the intelligence, if you knew how many boats were coming in with Venezuelan fentanyl, and this guy was like stamping each boat with the M with his Maduro M before they all left Venezuela and came here, if you knew that, you would understand why we had to blow up this boat and we'll have to blow up more boats, and then we'll release all of that footage to entertain you over the holidays. This is what, this is what we need to do as a country. There's no, there's no other way. There's no other way to pivot peoples that you need war. You know, domestic policy doesn't work because otherwise, by the way, so here this is a good, this is a good example of where this is where the country is at. Every now and then, I like to check in with Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show, my colleague, and I like to see where is the country at? What, where is the United States right now? I think it's fair to check in. Now, listen, does it have the viewership? It used to know, does it have the cultural cashier? Probably not, but it is on the biggest network. And it is the big show. It's The Tonight Show on NBC. And this one features Sydney Swini, our greatest Nazi star. And so kidding, Sydney. But let's just take a look because we need to understand who the people who aren't killing their parents. What are they? What are they? What's left for them? What's let's say you're not in Long Island and you're not on drugs and you're not killing your parents in a deli during morning rush. My favorite thing, the breakfast rush because it's such a long island and he's right. He's like, there's home fries. There's eggs going. There's bacon going. We got soft rolls. People are just trying to eat and go back to their house and go to sleep. And get on the phone for an hour about the disability. People want to get on the phone for an hour. They're going to wait on hold because they're voluntarily disabled. And they go, I need my money. I'm disabled. My friend got injured. He injured himself with a shopping cart in Home Depot. Spent two years not working and got a settlement of like $60,000. Which was much less than how he just worked. But that's not the point. The laziness, the being a piece of shit is the point. That's all the thing about Long Island. It's like being a piece of shit is the point. But what if you're just a regular person in America and you, you know, you're not on drugs that were shipped here by Maduro, apparently. And you're not going to kill your parents while they're making omelets. Where, what, what is left for you? Truly, like, this is a good question. If you're not a Nazi, if you're not far left comedy, like, if you're not a radical, if you're not going crazy, if you're not some type of anti social, whatever, like if you're not totally radicalized in some sector of the internet, if you're not a furry, if you're not like a non-binary, sepio-sexual furry, or you're not like reading books about Hitler, where are you? What's left for the mainstream of this country? Take a look. This is unbelievably great. There's three of the hottest dolls right now that are attached to purses. On a libous. Yeah, and they're at a fast food where you take your car to get fast food even faster. A drive? Yes. What's the Scottish hamburger place? Sorry, sorry. As a clown, as a clown, a clown is a mascot. Yes, yes, yes, and they're doing, they're doing, they're doing, they're going to a drive-thru. Yes, but they're also doing a TikTok trend involving numbers. Everyone says it. It's not 41. Oh, I can't say that. No, no, you can say it. So track two, so track two. So track two, I think, from what you're saying. No, I can't say that. That's the trend. Weird. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's a number. I know, is it? It's not 66. I know. I feel like I'm going to. No, you can say it. It's not 68. I know it's 67. Yes! All right, all right. Serious question. Why would you not do fentanyl and kill your parents in a deli? Why would you not when that is what is being offered as the mainstream entertainment option? When that is being offered, when that is put forth as the mainstream entertainment option, why would people not embrace a life of drugs? I mean, why if that was what was out there, why would you not. When I watch that, I feel like I'm on drugs. I've been sober for 15 years. When I watch that, I feel as if I am on drugs. So when reality feels like you were on drugs, why would you not just be on drugs? You know, CNN is now working with our friends at Kalshi. How fun is that? I won't be impressed with CBS News with a good friend Barry Weiss, who will be moderating a townhold Erica Kirk. By the way, how fun is that? Barry Weiss and Erica Kirk.
CBS News Editor-in-chief Barry Weiss sets her on air debut at Town Hall with Erica Kirk, our friend, the great Barry Weiss, everyone, friend of the show, Barry Weiss, I texted her the other day. I said, come on the show. Come on a program. I said, we're in a top 30 in the, in the world, really on Spotify, top 25 on this thing drops. Come on the show. Again, we'd have disagreements, but we'd have a great conversation. conversation about our country and world and the offer is out to Barry and no response, which is sad, but somewhat expected, but sad. So she's choosing to do a townhold, Erica Kirk and not moi. And that may, what about it's a townhold, Erica Kirk, and then I come on right after her dress like the president of Iran. Why wouldn't she do a townhold with me and then the president of Iran as well on on zoom? We kid, Barry, friend of the show, Barry Weiss, well there you have it folks. I mean, here's what it is. You know, we didn't even get to Michael and Susan Del donating his historic. Let's just get Michael and Susan Del, can we just finish out with Michael and Susan Del folks, 6.2 billion here, Michael and Susan Del, I mean, this one, huh? I mean, these two, Michael and Susan Deliver, let's get some volume on this. This is really exciting. Is it? Absolutely. It's a very special moment. We're making a 6.25 billion dollar investment in America's kids through our charitable funds. Next year, every American child will be able to get an investment account powered by invest America. That's right. That's right. When a child gets even a small financial head start, their world expands. The real power of these accounts is that anyone can contribute.

Well, the children are our future. No one believes that, not the AI people. No one believes that. The children are our future. Really, they're killing their parents and delis. So if you're going to invest in anything, invest in a security system for the restaurant you own. Good night.
