The host delivers a scathing critique of contemporary political and media culture, focusing on the absurdity of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago "first responder" event featuring furry costumes amid economic struggle. This is juxtaposed with the host’s mockery of the fictitious "hero dog" stories celebrated at the event, which he sees as part of a broader pattern of manufactured narratives. The discussion expands to include the violent treatment of protesters by ICE, the apathy of wealthy elites—like a stepfather who downplays the shooting of a family member—and the rise of fraudulent digital tokens, such as Eric Adams’ failed NYC token. The host argues these events reflect a deep cultural shift where fame, emotion, and spectacle replace integrity and accountability. A key point is the failure of CBS News under Barry Weiss, whose hiring of emotionally unbalanced anchors like Tony Doku is condemned as un-American and unprofessional. The host claims this trend—where media and politics are driven by emotionalism, personal trauma, and financial opportunism—signifies a crisis of public trust and moral clarity, ultimately painting a picture of a society in decline, where real suffering is ignored and trivialized through performative gestures and digital scams.
ladies and gentlemen welcome to the tim dillon show i want to apologize you know to the trump
administration um you know i've been very critical of them but it's come to my attention that they
actually did um sort of a real important thing recently they had like a they they got a lot of
our um our first responders and our our military and you know people that had sacrificed for the
country and you know you know president trump owns a um this this country club mar-a-lago right
where he lives part of the year and he he decided a really good use of his property and his wealth
would be to kind of bring in people that had
made the ultimate sacrifice like some of their families and you know he put together kind of a
family-friendly mar-a-lago day for people that don't have a lot and you know financially
they may they have other things but they're hurting like many americans are hurting
and i thought it was a really classy use of mar-a-lago i think
thought it was actually really cool i you know you can be blackpilled by the actions of this
administration you know but when they do something that's really selfless and it's kind of a great
example to other people of charity oh you know so let's take a look at this again this is a uh a nice
family day for the mar-a-lago community and i thought it was actually really cool i you know you
the united states military at mar-a-lago let's take a look
and the way you look
well there you have it folks that is the uh uh first responder
u.s military family day
at mar-a-lago i thought that was a really great
didn't a furry kill their friend by the way does anyone look at the optics of this
i don't want to hear anything about hollywood by the way any more from anybody i don't want
to hear about hollywood and this party and that party what the fuck is that what the fuck is that
what the fuck is that didn't a furry
supposedly shoot charlie kirk or like the lover of the furry isn't that
that was like days ago like months ago just the optics of it and i'm not even i'm not even
i'm not a prude have parties dress up in a costume whatever but don't you think
that it would somebody would say you know what americans are broke
uh having a uh eyes wide shut and i'm sure they weren't fucking at that party because they're all
octogenarians they're like elderly maybe they were but they were like old people wearing dog
masks and 18th century ball gowns don't don't you think if we fill the
country club that the president owns with people in dog masks and 18th century ball gowns
during a period of economic hardship also someone who kind of was into similar things shot our friend
they shot that guy do you think that there was any optics discussion there you think anyone sat
down and went you know what i'm not a furry i don't want to hear anything about hollywood
you know this isn't ideal to have this going on
it just seems like the point of everything is to demoralize you
in in a in a way that uh can't it's not even like it's not even debatable anymore
this is and that nobody would have stopped and said you know
that woman just caught a bullet to the face a few bullets
we got riots we got protests people in iran are protesting and you know they're getting
they're getting mowed down so i hear
and and i'm not saying i don't believe it i'm just not there
i get it so we've got all that happening russia is like russia's like ready to like nuke europe
by the way like their russia feels that the western powers have aligned against them which is
true i'm not holding water for russia i'm just telling you what's happening
it's going to go and knock over venezuela and take the oil and maybe knock over iran
and help the ukraine sponsor attacks on on russian infrastructure
and kidnap but i'm not kidnapped seize an oil tanker bound for russia i think
russia's now getting to the point where they're like they don't see a way out
of this without using and we hope this isn't true
like crazy weapons nuclear weapons and in the midst of all of this
someone decided that it would be a good idea to do this play play that again play it from
right there again someone decided it would be a good idea to do this
me
me
me
the end of the world
it is literally the end of the world
i mean and somebody said let's do now i don't give a fuck what this was for
some dog rescue some charity who gives a fuck what it was for stop with the charities they're all fake
they're all fake will you stop
whatever chat this is a fake
this is an excuse to put on dog masks and get drunk
and god only knows what else
but this whole idea that like everybody's showing up to mar-a-lago is doing charity is hilarious
they're just givers over there they can't stop giving that's why they're in mar-a-lago they can't
stop giving i mean it's like it's like an absurdity and the kirk thing the idea
and i'm not saying that these people are furries or that all furries are bad or whatever
but the idea that the the furry the furries boyfriend shot your friend and then you're in
the dog mask three months later you're in a dog mat the furries boyfriend so we are to believe
and i i'll believe it when the evidence comes out
but no one said you know the guy that you know the guy that was banging the
you know the furry that was banging the guy that shot charlie that you know like maybe we shouldn't
maybe we shouldn't do the dog party
it's it's absolutely psychotic it's one thousand percent
psychotic and it's a charity that can you find out what charity this was for what charity this was for
my favorite new thing is um it was for the american humane society's 15th annual hero dog awards gala
uh hero dog awards gala
so
apparently can you look this up the hero dog awards okay make it a little bigger so i can
read it here in my furry mask. For 15 years, our nationwide competition has invited dog owners
across America to nominate their canine heroes. Whether they're service dogs helping people with
disabilities, again, largely fake, outside of a few blind, the dogs that are helping the blind,
seeing eye dog, the service dog phenomenon is a largely fake phenomenon. It just is what it is.
Therapy dogs bringing comfort to those in need, again, also largely fake. Now, there's some great
dogs in the hospital and stuff, but let's be honest, it's usually some bitch in yoga pants
on an American Airlines flight with a Pomeranian. It's fake. Or family pets who have shown unexpected
bravery. So I guess these are hero dogs that they're celebrating at Mar-a-Lago. I guess
some of these dogs
Okay, so
here are the
2025 hero is Sergeant
Bo. He provides
comfort.
So let's
see what Bo
Let's see what, okay, so let's
go. Make it a
Alright, Sergeant Bo.
So Sergeant Bo has
provided comfort.
What kind of breed is he?
Go up. Let's see what kind of breed Bo is.
He's a cutie. Do we know what kind of breed he is?
He's a mixed breed.
Okay.
So now, Sergeant Bo,
let's read this here.
Sergeant Bo is a
dedicated therapy dog
who would spend time with the IDF.
After the IDF
had lit Palestinians on fire,
many of them expressed
pangs of regret.
Bo cheered them up.
And just his presence
reminded them that everything they were doing
was incredibly necessary
and in fact, they should do it
more frequently and
more efficiently.
Bo offered comfort to
countless IDF soldiers
who felt regret after
the things that they had to do.
In addition to trauma support,
he helped de-escalate
children in crisis
and offered comfort to everyone
he met.
So that's Sergeant Bo.
Let's see who else is here.
Who is the runner-up this year?
Who's the runner-up? Oh, he's a finalist.
Donald.
Superpower. Intuitive guidance and life-saving
protection.
Donald is from
Fort Myers, Florida.
Donald is a dedicated
guide dog who helped
Pam Bondi by eating some of the
Epstein files she promised to release
to the general public.
Donald ate
the files
and then was taken to the vet
to have his stomach pumped. Interesting.
I didn't know that was. By the way,
this is how fake this is.
Obviously, I'm kidding around with the IDF in this.
But let me. Can I actually read?
The real one is funnier than what I actually
am saying. This is how fake this is.
What moment. Best shows Donald the dog's
heroism.
Sometimes, being a hero
means knowing when not to
obey.
Donald once suddenly stopped and refused
to move forward, blocking his
handler from stepping ahead.
Only then did they realize the sidewalk
had been torn up by
construction.
His smart, instinctive decision
to disobey kept his handler out of
harm's way. Do you realize how
fake this is?
Apparently, this dog
stopped this bitch from tripping over a
traffic cone. Get this the fuck out of here.
Enough, enough.
Enough, enough,
enough. But I mean, God.
I'm telling you, I'm. It's unbelievable. Just watching
all of it is
truly unbelievable. It's actually
funny.
Here's the other thing.
A lot of people are criticizing ICE.
I've done it myself.
But
this gives you a little hope.
21-year-old anti-ICE
protester shot in the face with
non-lethal round
and blinded in one eye.
That is an improvement.
Sorry. It is an
improvement. Two weeks ago,
they shot a mother in the
face three times in her car.
Now, they have only
blinded someone in one eye.
I mean, the week after
this,
they're only going to break a few ribs.
It's getting better.
I think it's getting better.
We have to see this
as
kind of a de-escalation.
They shot that
woman three times in the face.
And now, they've
shot someone in the face. They like
doing that. They do
like shooting in the face.
But
he only lost one
eye because this was
non-lethal. Let's
see more of this
here.
Over the phone from the hospital,
he says an officer shot a non-lethal
weapon point-blank in his face.
He will never again regain
his vision. Only in one eye.
Doctors tell him
he insists he was not being
violent and that he was holding a loud
speaker when he was grabbed.
Make this
a little bigger, please.
The other protester who spoke at a press
conference, EchoStat.
OC
supervisors, who were
at an earlier part of the protest Friday, say
they are disturbed by the video
of the exchange. Do we have a video
here? Can
we maybe look for the video?
But by the way, kudos to ICE
for not killing the guy
and not shooting him three times in the face.
I do think that we
have to give credit
where credit is due. We
must give credit
where credit is due.
Play a little bit of this news story, actually,
because we'll get the video from this.
And by the way,
we're going to play Rene Good's
stepfather after this
on CNN saying he doesn't really
blame ICE for shooting her
three times in the face.
So, that,
and by the way, that generation of people,
no matter
that generation of people
is,
whatever you want to call them, the boomers,
boomers, whatever, they are
usually, they are,
this is what they want.
They want their kids to get
shot in the face by the
cops, and they are glad
to go on television and justify it. But let's watch
this ICE, the guy with the one
eye first.
Been blinded after being shot
during a local rally against the
shooting death of Rene Good in Minnesota.
That Friday night in Santa Ana
turned violent.
Move that back. Let's just see
that video again. They are being violent, the protesters.
Being shot during a local rally
against the shooting death of Rene Good
in Minnesota. Yeah, I mean, they are being violent.
They're being violent. Well, you lost an eye.
I mean, that's the thing here, is that
if you're going to
attack
federal law enforcement, you're going to run
towards federal law enforcement,
they're going to respond,
you're going to get
shot. But to their credit, you just
lost an eye.
You just lost an eye.
And I, again, I've criticized ICE,
I'll continue to, but again, if you
don't want to lose an eye, you cannot run
towards federal
law enforcement, whether you like them
or not, whether you agree with what they're doing or not,
you just got to be prepared to
potentially lose an eye, or more.
You just have to be prepared.
This is the
reality of what happens.
They have guns. They are
working for the federal government.
You may not agree with them.
You may, you may, you may think,
you're completely justified
in your actions.
But, if you
go
and
behave the way that guy behaved,
what I just saw,
you're going to get
potentially
killed.
You can't have
a civil society,
you can vote
people out,
you can change policies, you can
strike, you can do anything you want.
But, if you engage in violence,
the state is going to
engage in violence back. You're not
going to beat the state.
The state has the military,
the state has
the National Guard, and by the way, the state
has drones, they have
sonic weapons, they have
the Havana Syndrome weapon, they have
all these weapons that
you don't even know about. Electro-EMP,
electromagnetic pulse things.
The things that they can do,
and also
it's just, you can't live in
vigilante chaos.
So, if you're out there in the streets
doing stuff like this, you can expect
that
something similar to this
is going to happen.
But, here we go.
This is Rene Good's
stepfather. Now, by the
way,
no, here's the thing, and nobody
wants to hear this.
Nobody wants to hear this.
and people are not going to like this.
listen up. Listen up. Are you listening? Get close. No step-parent loves you.
They don't. They don't. They don't. They like you. They tolerate you.
They put up with you. You did not come out of them. You are not their child.
They, and this is her father-in-law, right? Okay, this is her father-in-law, former father-in-law.
Similar, not quite step relationship. I was wrong about that. But father-in-law,
not super close. But he's out there going, this is how my family would react if I was shot in the
face. They'd go, well, you know, we don't blame anyone. But let's listen to this guy. This is
Renee Goods.
Father-in-law reacting to her getting shot three times in the face.
I'm not blaming anybody.
Good. Stop it right there. And I like it. I like it. Move on. Erica Kirk style.
That is Erica Kirk coded. That's vibes. I'm not, run it back again. Let me just hear that first
sentence. Give it to me, daddy. Damn right you're not.
Get him a couple of sparklers and a big entrance somewhere.
Get him at TPUSA's next event. He's not blaming anyone. This is what we need. We need more of this. We need more people who can watch their daughter-in-law
get shot multiple times in the face and not be that, he doesn't seem that bothered by it.
And because that's the kind of the country that we've created. We're a country of feds
who really, we love, you know, this, this idea of the big bad. Oh, the American,
the big bad machine. We're going to get you. And they, so they get your daughter-in-law.
They're not always going to get brown people in other countries. Sometimes they're going to get
your daughter-in-law.
And they like it. He doesn't mind it. This is the country that we have now. It's just people that
are kind of like, you know, conditioned to go with the feds. It's just what it is.
They're conditioned to not really, he's not really holding a grudge. Gotta hold a grudge.
So let's, let's listen.
A little more of him, but, uh, I, he, this guy kind of inspires me. He inspires me because I
think that's how we all have to internalize everything. Now is just know that we will watch
the feds kill our friends and family and that we shouldn't start blaming everyone. Like let's not
play the blame game all the time. Let's just kind of get over it quickly. Run it back again. Now
we're going to listen to the whole thing, but run it back. Cause that first line's mine. I mean,
that's, I just,
that heals my heart. He heals my heart. Give it to me.
I mean, it's a hard situation all the way around. It's, it's,
it's hard for the, you know, for everybody involved. I mean, the ice agent, you know,
at first I didn't see the footage. He was actually being ran. I mean, I seen the bump of the car
hitting, you know, hitting his leg. And so in a, you know, in a flash like that, it's hard to say
how you would react. Of course, from my understanding that he had been through that before,
maybe dragged or something. Maybe, maybe he'd been through that before. Interesting. Let's give
him a backstory. Let's give him a narrative. It's a hard situation for everybody. That's
going to be the response when you're shot in the face, by the way, that, and that would be my
parents' response. That's that generation's response to go. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. When you are inevitably, and by the way,
it doesn't matter who does it. It doesn't matter if the Democrats win the next election and they,
and you get shot in the face. It doesn't matter if the Donald Trump's in and you get shot in the
face. That generation of people, um, will call, well, they'll just say it's, Hey, it's a hard
situation for everybody. They don't, they don't really,
they're not, they don't, they don't care that much. That's just not what they're, they, that's
never what's gotten them working.
They don't like getting ripped off. They don't like paying too much for things. They don't like
having to work too hard when they feel that they've, but they don't really mind seeing their
kids, stepkids, daughter-in-law, son-in-law get shot in the face. It's not something that they've
ever minded. The way these people bounce back from their children's deaths is unbelievable.
It is unbelievable the way that generation of people,
rolls with the punches when their kids are getting shot. I mean, they are, he's out to dinner. He's
out to dinner right now. And he, and he's, and he, and people are coming up to him. He likes the
attention of that. They're coming up to him at the local pub and he doesn't mind the attention
that is. I'm telling, I know people in that age bracket, no one has dealt with the deaths of
their children better than that age group. It is a nice little pin that they can put on the jacket.
And I mean, let's, can we just, I just want to hear,
I'm in anyone again, because it's my favorite thing. Cause by the way, and that's the way a
father-in-law, I mean, he's not close. She left the son. If you're a step parent, this is the way
you react. And even if you are a real parent, you're going to get this from a lot of people
in that generation who do like Donald Trump more than their children. A lot of my friends who are
in that older age group do prefer Donald Trump to their family. And that's fine. Cause I know
somebody who's a little bit older than me, but I know somebody who's a little bit older than me,
and I know somebody who's a little bit older than me, but I know somebody who's a little bit older than
me, but I know somebody who's a little bit older than me, but I know somebody who's a little bit older than
some of their families and they do suck. Trump is funnier than them, but they do prefer Trump
to their family. And, and if Trump sends storm troopers out into the street and you get in their
way and you get whacked, you know, it's one of those things. So let's just hear this again.
Take it away. Good for you. There it is, folks. I'm not blaming anyone.
Take it away. Good for you. There it is, folks. But Eric Adams has launched a scam coin. Now, here it is. Let's hear this. This is a good video.
This is, this is the man who invented the NYC token. And now where is it? Is this where he's
fleeing to Israel? Or he was going to Dallas? Give it up. This is,
let's hear Eric Adams, everyone. Getting on a commercial flight.
I would love if you punch me in the face. Okay, you can get fucked too.
All right, those things are over.
so there's erica eric adams the the mayor of new york and a woman are getting into it
at the airport um it is funny to watch him go from being the mayor of new york city to just
a regular goon he's just a regular goon and i like him but he's he's just a regular goon
and he goes i'm gonna launch a token because i need a scam i'm no longer in the mayor's office
and is this uh does he talk about the let's watch him
there you go brother all right take care i can't believe this thank you sir
by nyc token.com
yo eric is that you yes it is brother how are you new york is wild man just get a fucking
mayor out of the back of my car that's new york i always say there are two types of americans
those who live in new york and those who wish they could
mayor big moment yep big moment we're about to change the game if you can't make it to new york
we're going to bring new york to you how is it a token
cash or credit card you get some of the new york city talking we'll get you some brother
this thing is about to take off like crazy wow the nyc talk show eric adams disgrace mayor
has launched the nyc token um a completely uh fake financial product designed to dupe
gullible people into spending their money by i guess people that love new york or love eric
adams
or don't like anti-semitism whatever and it briefly the market cap was sent to 600 million
dollars and then it crashed i mean so that's how these things happen they're fake this is like the
hawk tua coin r.i.p that girl hawk tua but eric adams um people go it's such an obvious rug pull
what would make you think that but by the way so just we we like to learn little lessons on the
show here's a little lesson here's a little lesson here's a little lesson here's a little lesson
that we will learn from this disgraced people with no image concerns left are going to try to
use the little bit of fame they have left to launch a scam coin it's that's the game now
is to just launch launch a shit coin on your way out why not launch a shit coin on the way out
pump it up grab as much money as you can and then get out of here and i'm i respect him i don't know
what happened i don't know if he made any money from this i i imagine it's these things are the
legality of these things is uh questionable to say the least but that's what you're going to see
just see a bunch of people here's the thing i was thinking about this recently fame has been
completely democratized
now meaning that anyone anywhere at any time for any reason can get famous so it has kind of been
divorced from money back in the day back in the olden times when you got famous it usually came
with a little bit or a lot of money because you were famous for a reason you were a uh
a basketball player you were you were an actor
you were a singer you were a football player you were an olympic gold medalist
you would get endorsements you would get um you know you would sell out world tours you would
there was a mechanism by which your fame because it was awarded supposedly on some merit-based
system there was a mechanism by which you and many others would make lots of money
from you being famous because you couldn't just get famous you couldn't just get famous
now the andy warhol quote everyone the future everyone will be famous for 50 minutes is true
but it doesn't always come with money you can be famous you can be infamous
so you have to figure out a way to grab whatever money you can
from the
period of fame that you're having eric adams knows that he's it's fleeting
he's he's was the mayor of new york i don't even think he did anything wrong by the way he
accepted a few airline tickets i mean in in in the grand scheme of things with what politicians
have done eric adams wasn't even that dirty but he was a little sloppy and he was just one of
those guys who was like a wrong place wrong time not a super honest fella but not the
worst by any means by any stretch of the imagination eric adams i don't even think
his policies were that bad i'm kind of an eric adams stan i kind of like him i i don't do it
anymore but i loved cocaine and i like going out i think the mayor should be doing cocaine
in nightclubs truly so what is this one doing eating halal food with his fingers and letting
my car get stolen hopefully he gets some health care with that hopefully he's
kids can go to pre-k or something but here's the question what is a guy like eric adams do he's in
the twilight of his relevance you must launch a shit coin it's the only way you must launch
some type of bullshit token in order to to get a little bit of money because fame now doesn't
guarantee any money
so you gotta figure out what's the scam so what these coins enable people to do
you can buy equity in in their level of fame now trump coin he's the president
he's the most famous person in the world and the most powerful person in the world
he launches a coin a lot of big crypto people go into it people by eric adams is uh you know this is
not the case so then he goes so then so he's got a real bad pitch his pitch is like hey i'm the
disgraced former mayor of new york and then he goes a little combat anti-semitism because they
go what the fuck is this and he goes well you know we're gonna combat anti-semitism
and everyone goes okay and then the thing hits a 600 million dollar cap and then it crashes
but this is going to be and already is but watch for this more and more and more people are going
to realize pretty quickly that their period of relevance is short the days uh are growing uh
growing shorter. You get less sunlight. It's getting cold. And you have to figure out how
to make a little bit of money. So this is the way to do it. This is the way that people
are going to do it. The Hawk 2 is like the most famous example that she probably had
no idea what was going on. And somebody probably came up to her and said, here, do this, make
some money. And she didn't know. I don't even, you know, she's not the Machiavellian
mastermind behind that, but she burned people, people got upset, whatever. But this is the
financial system in this country is pretend. Large swaths of it are pretend. And what people
like Eric Adams have realized, and many others, this is just the.
Story that we're talking about is that you can play these games and, and try to get a
little something for the retirement score. That's what Eric Adams is trying to do is
get the retirement score. This is not, this is not going to only be him. They're going
to launch coins. You're going to tell people it fights this and fights that. Where's the
Iran token? Is that hot yet?
Who's doing that? Is the free Iran coin big yet? If that ain't big, nothing's big. If people
aren't putting money behind the Iran token, and maybe they're not, we're betting on all of these
things. Kalshi, Polymarket, whichever one of you gives me money, I'll, I'll, I'll edit the other
one out, but we're betting on all of these things. We are also betting on people, their level of fame,
their, their, their continued relevance, their proximity to power. We're betting on them in this weird way because they, they may.
share our values perhaps and most people have kind of given up on voting not everyone but a lot of
people are starting to give up so they're wondering maybe we'll just empower people
to do things that we agree with by making them uber wealthy through the launch of a coin
perhaps that and that's crypto feudalism folks that's how you get there you get there because
people sell the idea that you're part of a movement and that that movement you're helping
finance that movement and that it's just new school politics the old school politics was the
dnc and the rnc and fat cats and lunches and dog costumes
and mar-a-lago and every jumping and the new school politics will be more raw it'll be more
digital and it'll be hey my coin fights anti-semitism i'm the disgraced former mayor of new york
that's how we get there and then people go i'm gonna get behind this person and this idea
in this way i'm no longer gonna cut it i'm not going to daughters for the american revolution
and sitting through a lunch and they bring in
auntie
coulter i like and whatever but they bring in somebody to talk and sell their new book and you
you write a nice little check and they give it to ronnie reagan or something that's not
what's gonna happen anymore you're going to invest in the coin that that has the the values that you
want the world to see you want iran free there'll be a coin this is coming and eric adams is just
obvious
he's sloppily trying to do it and it's crashing and failing like a lot of things he does but it's
an indicator of what is happening and what's going on he knows that let's talk about our friend
friend of the show barry weiss barry weiss has been at cbs for um i don't know a few months maybe
now barry weiss friend of the show
is the editor-in-chief of cbs news and barry is running that uh news company into the ground
at a pace and a rate that even surprises me i'm even shocked it is a 1990s slapstick comedy
how barry weiss is failing over there by the way it's
unbelievable now barry weiss is tasked with you know they brought her in because she's the
internet uh uh lady from the free press so she knows what people want to hear they want to hear
debates between intellectuals in austin she's also behind the university of austin you know
austin america's greatest city where all the free thinkers live
austin and it just had to get a it just took a fucking a global pandemic to make us
for 16 months and then we all went but anyway austin the free thinker home so barry weiss behind
the university of austin for the free thinkers the free thinkers they take barry weiss from the
the free press and they put her in there and they go hire people shake it up stir the pot
so she hires this guy tony doku doku pill and the reason she hires the guy is because tanahasi
coats who's a really smart guy i disagree with him on a lot of stuff but he's really really smart
but he goes on cbs news and he starts going you know these palestinians got a raw deal
and tony doku pill to couple doku but whatever then says to tanahasi coats he pushes back and
he goes i think you're like uh you know your book could be found in some terrorist backpack
and i'm paraphrasing that's kind of what happened tony doku bull's like hey man if if someone
read your book that that's extremist literature that could be found like a terrorist backpack
whatever you can get that exchange up uh tanahasi coats and and uh tony doku and let's play that
let's just make sure i'm right i believe i am and this is why he was upped tony doku pulls up
and then he becomes he's now the the anchor of of of cbs news because he stood up to tanahasi coats
on yeah so just try to
forward it to where tony doku bull's talking he's kind of the boring white okay there he is here he
is okay let's get some volume um what policies we believe should be in the world which policies we
don't are actually shaped largely by writing in the stories we tell and so i believe that writers
and particularly young writers have so much to do in the politics and in this time when you know
obviously we have so much conflict and there's so many quote-unquote issues to deal with tanahasi
i want to dive into the uh israel palestine section of the book it's the largest section
and i have to say when i when i read the book i imagine if i took your name out of it took away
the awards and the acclaim took the cover off the book the publishing house goes away the content of
that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist okay okay so stop this
stop this stop this stop it stop it so number one this is why he gets the job this is why barry weiss
has chosen him it's not because she likes his tie so barry weiss chooses him in this moment
she goes this is the guy this is our guy to do this job
now by the way i don't agree with tanahasi coates on a lot of stuff i think there's stuff where i
would disagree with him um because and in his words because i'm a white uh white devil i believe
but but that's such a cheap argument to make the tony dokopol argument that's not even a good
argument saying like oh that thing you wrote that thing you wrote that argument if i took the acclaim
the awards away from your name and i took the cover off the book and said that that would be at
home in the backpack of an extremist it's such a shitty argument it's not an argument on the
merits of what was written it's this argument where you go so hey actually if i took the book
jacket off and you're actually hitler if i it's a way to not respond to anything so now he's
he gets upped now he he's the anchor at cbs because of that because he like stood up to
tanahasi coates so now he's the anchor of cbs now this is how dumb and listen again i have no issue
personally with barry weiss i think her and her wife are lovely people i think she's right about
certain things there are elements of the republican party that are clearly insane
as well as the democratic party barry's not wrong about everything
barry has a very specific bias uh which is the the behavior and actions of israel it just is
it just is she doesn't deny it it's why i kind of had a falling out with her she doesn't like me
whatever it's fine she doesn't like me uh which is okay that's fine but i i do in enjoy her uh
as a person i i do enjoy her i kind of like a fun like charming sociopath i kind of like it
her now but but barry has no idea what people in america want she has zero clue she's not you know
she's in these bubbles she went out to la and had all these dinners with all these billionaires and
they all thought she was great because all these billionaires are like why is everyone mad at me
why is my why is my son wearing a dress or whatever you know and barry's like why is my
why is my daughter saying
so barry weiss went to all these dinners and said listen billionaires the world is wacky
and she was right she wasn't wrong and she was basically like listen they're all gonna come for
israel they're not gonna they're not gonna support um israel a lot of these campus lefty lunatics who
i disagree with on a lot of things barry was telling these people these very wealthy people
in la in new york that by the way
wait till they get she's basically saying at dinner and i know people that went to these dinners
by the way i know them and then and barry weiss is like yeah you know this is her shit's annoying
and the pronoun shit and it's anti-liberal and it says that but wait till they get to israel
because they're not going to support israel this is what barry's doing
and it is what it is this is her point of view she's allowed to have it she's 1000 allowed to
have it i don't hate israel i don't even think they should give palestinians voting rights
i don't even give a shit to be honest i don't give a flying fuck about what the hell's going on i
don't give a fuck about iran either sorry throw them out if you don't like them it has nothing
to do with me and the fact that that the idea that i have to give a flying fuck you should be
standing with iran shut the fuck up will you shut the fuck up if they want to throw the bums who run
iran out throw them the fuck out but the idea that the united states is going to give a flying fuck
states of america when people can't afford houses and they can't afford health care
spends all his fucking time talking about the middle east
and fucking Arabs and Jews and religion
and the fucking temple and slaughtering the heifer
and Iran and Sunnis and Shiites.
Get what the fuck is going on.
Truly, what the fuck is going on
that we're told, well, is Iran Sunni or Shia?
What is happening?
Okay, our own country is being destroyed
and it's going down the toilet.
So Barry's at these dinners
and she's telling all these people,
listen, there's an anti-liberal movement
or whatever, the intellectual dark web.
Remember those days?
It's when I was dressed up like Meghan McCain
to give you a marker in history.
It's a little history lesson for you.
I want to fuck my daddy.
Remember that, the old times?
So Barry's up in the Hollywood Hills in Bel-Air
and New York and all these places,
Miami, where rich people live.
And she's saying, we got a problem with the kids.
And she's right.
She's not wrong.
They are fucking nuts, half of them.
But this is where she endears herself
to wealthy people like the Ellison family.
And they go, she's our gal.
She gets it.
It's not because Barry Weiss had done anything spectacular.
Barry is a smartass.
He's a smart, sharp operator
who's decent in front of a camera,
but really good behind it.
She's not on-air talent.
She tried to make herself on-air talent.
And somehow, the more charming one was Erica Kirk.
That one.
Okay?
So that just gives you an idea
of the on-air talent potential that Barry has.
Because somehow, Erica Kirk, who creeps out everyone,
was less creepy than Barry Weiss.
Barry's not on-air talent.
But Barry's very smart and sharp
and not wrong about everything.
So then Barry Weiss gets tapped by the Ellisons
to run CBS News.
They go, you got to pick new people.
You got to make it interesting.
You got to make it fun, okay?
I know people.
Barry was texting comedians like,
you want to host late night shows?
They're all like, you even run that?
Can you even green light that?
She doesn't even know.
She doesn't know what the hell's going on, okay?
Between calling CAA and trying to get me fired,
between doing that, she's fucking up CBS News, okay?
And turning it into a laughing stock.
So she hires Tony Docopole.
I'm not pronouncing it right.
I don't care, okay?
I don't care.
He now, she thinks, we'll get him in.
And now he goes, he goes, so he's there.
And his first week on the job,
he supposedly gets teary about Miami,
says news is dishonest,
and he's all about Marco Rubio.
He loves Rubio.
So now, here's the thing, right?
Instead of just doing the news,
Barry Weiss goes, let's not do the news.
They're not even pretending to do the news.
And again, this is what I kind of like about Barry,
to be honest with you.
I like when the gun is to your back
and they go, give me your wallet.
Instead of going like, what are you doing tonight?
You're like, what are you going to drug me and do this?
Like, let's just.
Barry's not even pretending to do the news.
So they have this guy, heads down to Miami.
Can we watch this abortion of a segment
that this guy does for Miami?
This is the evening news, folks, okay?
This is the evening news.
So this is Tony Docopul, the evening news,
and he starts crying while talking about Miami.
Take a look.
In the world, why?
Why South Florida and Miami?
Ugh.
Well, it makes me emotional.
I'm so fired.
I didn't mean to, I didn't think it would catch it.
You know.
Stop it.
Stop it right now.
Pause it.
They're all actors and they're all bad actors.
I know a lot of the people in media.
They're terrible actors.
They wanted to be, this guy's a good looking guy.
He wanted to be an actor.
They all want to be actors.
We're all embarrassed of them.
Say what you want about these Hollywood fucks.
Some of them are sociopaths.
Some of them aren't.
Some of them are rapists.
Some of them are pedophiles.
They were good.
They were actually good actors and made good films.
I'm not attesting to their morality.
What I am saying is the slop that we are being served now,
this abortion of a segment,
Tony Docopul's crying about Miami,
this guy is, is, is,
is Edward R. Morrow, Walter Cronkite,
like in the tradition of those guys,
Tony Docopul is out there.
If, if anyone had wrote what you wrote in that book,
they would be like a terrorist.
Like that would be like not out of place
in the backpack of like a terrorist.
That's your argument.
What do you even respond?
Well, I guess terrorists read.
It's good that they're reading, huh?
Not blowing stuff up.
What is the response to that?
It's a cunty argument.
It's a cunty argument from someone without an argument.
There are brilliant Zionists,
whether you agree with them or disagree with them,
who could make real great arguments.
That guy, his argument that Ta-Nehisi Coates was not,
he is chosen because he's this good looking guy.
And if Barry Weiss thinks Americans want it,
because if Barry Weiss thinks Americans are like emotional,
emotive, everyone's on a journey and it's like a weird thing.
And most people are trying to get,
Barry grew up with money.
She has money and all her friends have money.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
I love the rich, love the rich.
But sometimes they forget that everyone is not always
the star of their own movie.
And everyone doesn't always respond to this like
emotional heartstrings horseshit
that you try to shove down their throat.
So here's Tony Doakable again, a phenomenal embarrassment,
a total embarrassment.
Tony Doakable, everyone, friend of the show.
Because you only have one,
a childhood, right?
So we get a second.
Where's ice with the gun?
Where's ice with the nonlethal gun to the face?
Help people understand why I have such a reaction.
Yeah.
Why?
Why?
Why?
I like Miami.
What the fuck are you crying about?
I grew up.
So we didn't get a lot of sleep.
So my.
Grandmother's here, my father, my mother.
We didn't get a lot.
Oh, aunts and uncles.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it's where I would have spent all of my childhood.
But we left.
Pause this for a minute.
Not only should this man not be.
The the the um.
The the evening news.
I'm trying to think of the term for him, the.
The the the host of the evening news.
I'm sorry.
I was.
What'd you say?
Anchor.
Yeah.
The anchor.
Good job.
Thank you.
Not only should this man not be the anchor of the evening news.
He should be put in a hospital.
I mean, this man should be put in a hospital.
This man's the anchor.
He's gonna have to report on war, death, famine, some of which he doesn't really care that
much about.
But this man cannot get through talking about Florida where he grew up without crying.
He's not fit to be the anchor of CBS.
News.
What is this?
What kind of crap is this?
This man should be.
You know who I want?
I want Renee.
Good stepfather as the fucking anchor of CBS fucking news.
I don't blame anyone back to you, Jim.
I want Renee.
Good stepfather.
A man that could watch his stepdaughter take three to the face and go, I don't really blame
anyone here.
It's a difficult situation for all.
That's why the boomers were best at the news.
They say, say what you want about the boomers.
And I have, they, they didn't do this shit.
Let's continue because my father got in some trouble with businesses.
Like we laugh about it now, but he was a criminal.
He's a, he was a drug dealer.
My father was a drug dealer.
He went to jail.
It's kind of a hot thing that we say now, but the reason it's so emotional for me is
because wait a minute, this is the anchor of the CBS evening news.
Whose dad's a drug dealer.
Oh, what?
It's a ha ha thing to us.
Now.
My father sold drugs.
Keep going.
Miami experience.
So what?
I come back.
I'm always like, I think you had the full Miami experience.
You got some drugs.
I love it here.
Yeah.
But it changed the trajectory of your life.
You may not be back.
You may not be back.
You may not be back here today.
Had you stayed here in the first place?
You never know.
People are going to think this is so crazy, but like this should have been my home for
the whole stretch.
Right?
So to have it and then to lose it, it just kind of rocks me.
So I didn't expect to feel that, but whenever I'm here, it really does feel deeply like
home.
And I wish it had stayed home, you know?
And I know that's how a lot of people here feel right now.
All right.
You know, it should be very obvious that we have mentally unstable people.
We have mentally unstable people who are bad actors.
the anchor of the evening news
in our country, the CBS evening news,
you have a man who's crying about his drug
dealer father in Miami
going, I wanted the
full experience of my, I was
cheated out of the experience of Miami?
I was
cheated?
Unbelievable.
It's so un-American.
America's built, and it's not racial, but America's
built in this Calvinist, Germanic,
get-about-your-business shit.
It's Germanic. It's Protestant.
Even though this is a Catholic revival now,
a lot of the,
to give Tucker Carlson his due,
and he goes off in some crazy directions, but I do
actually really like him. And I do
love him, even though he does say demons are biting him, and
maybe they are.
But I actually do really like him and enjoy him
as a person.
But that wasp aesthetic,
it's a little dated.
It's a little old school. We're not going to go back
to that. And I don't think it's exclusively
racial. But the Catholic
thing of like the European and the crying
and the yelling at funerals and the dancing
and the singing, that's
not the American
aesthetic.
It's a very kind of, it's Germanic,
industrialist, Protestant, kind of like
like, like
take it on the chin thing. Like
it'd be a little stoic.
And I'm an Irish Catholic. I mean, that's why I'm an
entertainer. So like, I get it. We're
kind of the exception rather than the rule.
And I know this is a high level
intelligence discussion, and many of you,
you know, I don't know
if I'm able to follow this without
accusing me of being some kind of Nazi.
I'm not. What I'm saying is this.
This crying
in Miami
is so unbecoming
and un-American. It's
genuinely un-American. And he's not
even crying for a goddamn reason.
It's not like his wife got shot in the face
three times. He's crying about
his childhood. It's the opposite
of America. It's the opposite
of any kind of
traditionally masculine, stoic
type of character
that the country was built on.
And there can be negatives
associated with that stuff too, but like
this is completely
um
actually offends my sensibilities
as a person
truly to see this
privileged, rich
ne'er-do-well
example of mediocrity
trying to
emotionally manipulate the
country by crying
about his drug dealer father
in Miami? How dare you?
How dare you, scum?
How dare you, scum?
And this
all engineered by Barry Weiss.
If it was an 80s movie,
if it was an 80s movie,
the new hire at the company
would be called into the office and the fat
cat capitalist owner, might look like
me, in a pinstripe suit would
go, he'd go, uh,
he'd say, the guy would have a last name
like, uh, Riggins or something. He'd be like,
Riggins! And the guy would walk in and he'd
go, this has been a complete
embarrassment. A
total embarrassment.
And that's what
the last few months of CBS News
has been. It is a
complete and total
embarrassment. Get up, Rene Goods
stepfather one more time. He
is the fucking anchor of this
country, you pieces of shit.
Get him up
and let's hear the line. Let's hear
the line from CBS
News. Hold on, run it back.
From CBS News,
bring us our new
anchor. Good night, everybody!
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
The host criticizes President Trump’s "first responder family day" at Mar-a-Lago, calling the event absurd and politically manipulative due to the inclusion of furry-themed costumes during economic hardship.
The event is linked to the American Humane Society’s Hero Dog Awards, which the host mocks as largely fictional, citing fabricated stories like a therapy dog cheering up IDF soldiers or a guide dog eating classified files.
The host condemns the optics of the Mar-a-Lago gathering, arguing it trivializes real-world violence and suffering, especially given the recent killing of Charlie Kirk and the shooting of protesters by ICE.
A major criticism focuses on the response of a stepfather of Renee Good, who claims not to blame ICE after his daughter-in-law was shot multiple times, highlighting a broader cultural numbness to violence and state power.
The host mocks Eric Adams’ launch of a fraudulent "NYC token" coin as a scam, arguing it reflects a new era where fame is fleeting and people exploit it to make quick financial gains through digital tokens.
Barry Weiss’s leadership of CBS News is criticized for hiring Tony Doku, whose emotional, unprofessional on-air performance—crying about Miami and his drug-dealing father—is seen as un-American and unfit for a news anchor.
The host argues that modern media is increasingly driven by emotional manipulation, celebrity, and digital financial schemes rather than factual or ethical journalism.
Underlying themes of political cynicism, cultural decay, and the normalization of violence and emotional spectacle are presented as signs of a deteriorating national ethos.
Summary:
The host delivers a scathing critique of contemporary political and media culture, focusing on the absurdity of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago "first responder" event featuring furry costumes amid economic struggle. This is juxtaposed with the host’s mockery of the fictitious "hero dog" stories celebrated at the event, which he sees as part of a broader pattern of manufactured narratives. The discussion expands to include the violent treatment of protesters by ICE, the apathy of wealthy elites—like a stepfather who downplays the shooting of a family member—and the rise of fraudulent digital tokens, such as Eric Adams’ failed NYC token.
The host argues these events reflect a deep cultural shift where fame, emotion, and spectacle replace integrity and accountability. A key point is the failure of CBS News under Barry Weiss, whose hiring of emotionally unbalanced anchors like Tony Doku is condemned as un-American and unprofessional. The host claims this trend—where media and politics are driven by emotionalism, personal trauma, and financial opportunism—signifies a crisis of public trust and moral clarity, ultimately painting a picture of a society in decline, where real suffering is ignored and trivialized through performative gestures and digital scams.
FAQs
