498 - Backrooms, Spencer Pratt, & The D’Amelio Family Disaster
69m 26s
The host of the Tim Dillon show critiques the idea that recent box office successes of low-budget indie films signal a broader revolution in Hollywood. He argues these are rare anomalies, not a trend that will uplift average creators or lead to widespread success. He dismisses the notion of hope as a mirage, insisting that nothing fundamental is changing in the entertainment or political systems. The discussion expands to current political dynamics, particularly in Los Angeles and London, where he highlights systemic issues like racial bias in policing and economic inequality. He uses the case of Charlie Demilio to explore the darker tradition of parents stealing from their successful children, framing it as a psychological need to live vicariously through offspring. Ultimately, the host delivers a satirical and darkly humorous take on political and personal ambition—suggesting that if Spencer Pratt loses the mayoral race, he should burn down LA in protest. The overall tone is one of skepticism, irony, and a critical view of both cultural narratives and societal structures, emphasizing that change is not imminent, and that success in any field remains rare and deeply personal.
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tim Dillon show I directed back rooms that kids are fraud that kids full of shit he's a fraud I directed that movie it was my fucking idea and that money's mine and we're coming for your throat that is my fucking money a hundred million dollars in opening weekend back room someone got lost in a store that's my money I directed that what did they bring in opening weekend back rooms 118 million globally 118 million globally of my money stolen from me by the Hollywood system by a child and that other guy curry a barker obsession I directed that I also directed obsession how much did that bring in opening weekend this is how hollywood is going to repair itself by the way we're going to have young people with the inspiring stories but so first weekend was 17 million second weekend 23 million third weekend 26 million global gross surpassed 166 million worldwide and it had a tiny budget of roughly 750,000 to one million now these are undeniably hollywood success stories and many of you are out there going and does that mean I'm going to have a similar experience no do not read too much into this this is not the beginning of a trend this is not the beginning of a wave in which you will catch this is not that these are lovable ah flooks their flooks that's what it means and there's nothing they're good movies and they're talented people but it does not apply to you it does not apply to you eating cat food in your living room on a floor while I just while I bet I'll make a hundred million to shut up you're you're not this doesn't affect you know many losers I have had tell me that they feel inspired by this I hate that I hate that they should do the reverse it should make you feel that it is less impossible now than ever because they've already done it but people people need hope and I get it and I understand that and I don't begrudge anyone that I'm just saying I am getting calls from I mean zeros it's unbelievable the people that have my number somehow somehow some how some way have ways to contact me telling me well hollywood be damned these young fox made a lot of money and now by the way you would think are these young people Tim calling you are the young people know are they filmmakers even absolutely not these are these are people are in their middle age who are out of their minds many of them run drugs and they're calling me and they're going it all seems possible now finally a movie did well at the box office a horror movie and it was made for a low budget so I am going to replicate that you will not you are not going to do that and by the way if you do great great and egg on my face but you will not be able to do that so I just put these things in their perspective can anyone put anything in perspective can anyone just be happy for these gentlemen and put it in perspective it does not mean that there is going to be a world wind of successful projects that will now involve you it is quite rare that a movie at that budget makes that amount of money what well you know I can prove it's rare because it's such a big fucking story like every like Spencer Pratt gonna be the new Trump and then there's gonna be all these people it's not going to happen nothing is changing here is the message for today and it is a message actually of hope nothing is changing nothing is happening nothing is happening nothing is changing nothing is happening the idea that things are happening is a mirage it is not water in the desert it is more desert it looks like water and if you feel like it's good look I have water now we're going to get honey tell the donkey to just trudge on a little while longer there's water over that there is not there is not nothing is happening Karen Bass is winning again in that like whether you whether you like it or not I'm not commenting on whether you like it or not I don't care what you think about it it's it's going to happen if you ramen will probably surpass him when the mail and votes come in they're all going to come in she's already gaining on him she's at 23.4 he's at 29.4 basses at 35 listen if things stay where they are yet a second place finish it's a little impressive but Karen Bass will get almost all if not all of nithia ramen's votes and will breeze into the election Spencer Pratt is excited because he can spend the next five months shooting his reality show doesn't mean that I hate Spencer Pratt or that all of his ideas are bad or whatever here's what it simply means nothing is happening nothing is happening don't think it is there's no shake up it's not happening so you're going to you're reading too much into things now all of these people that I talk to the main problem I have with a lot of what they're saying is because everyone's so desperate and hopeless now everybody is reading so much into every single thing that happens and they're like well if I this is this is a groundbreaking Hollywood taking notice what does that even mean what does it mean Hollywood finally taking notice of you can make an independent movie and they may buy it but by the way that was true 10 years ago it's true now and unless we're all in a cyber prison in 20 years or 10 years it'll be true then it's always been true the Blair Witch project I was talking to Ray about that like these things can happen now will they will they be more frequent or well I don't know I don't know is Spencer Pratt gonna grab the reins and the most liberal state in the country and win no no no it was never going to happen nothing is happening how freeing and how beautiful that is you can choose to make something different for dinner you can make your choice to do what you want to do but I'm telling you right now stop looking for these grand narratives with things like this here's what Spencer Pratt should do Spencer Pratt has claimed that if he loses this election he is going to leave Los Angeles California this is big quote he's like if I lose this election I'm leaving Los Angeles he's threatening to leave now we know that Spencer Pratt reality star prominently featured on the show The Hills many years ago has mounted a pretty successful campaign for mayor of Los Angeles using pretty adept social media skills he's pretty funny he's affable and and large parts of LA are an unlivable hell scape and and he's pointed that out he's pointing it out and people are going they're happy with that and he's going to save LA um and here's the thing about LA it's the same I was just in London I'll talk about that in a minute briefly but you don't need to save LA you don't need to save London none of it none of it's going to be saved there are large swaths of it that are actually great they're fine and the ones that aren't are only going to get worse you know I know that that's not a this is why I don't run for anything this is why I'm not like on the stump obviously I don't want to be a politician but like they have to get up and go no no no no no no it's just a matter of one or two things we fixed that well then it's all gravy we fixed that and everything's coming up rows no no no skid rows been skid row for a long fucking time has it gotten worse sure is it going to get better in LA probably not maybe marginally better for the Olympics but you got to create a life in LA that can you can insulate yourself and by the way that's all over the world that's in Texas that's in any of these red states that claim that they don't have these problems certainly in the blue states they've gone insane and if Democrats were smart they go why is our ideology moving people in the direction of Spencer Pratt that would be a thought that they should have obviously Seattle and Portland LA and San Francisco have gone insane but San Francisco is getting better right now well why is it getting better well all the AI companies are moving in so that's not great but that's why San Francisco is getting better things don't always get better in the way that you would want them to get better. You go oh San Francisco wow I went the other day I didn't know what my wife and you know it used to be a homeless guy you know like you know sitting on our car but that's gone why well a bunch of people have moved there to try to figure out how to build
data centers to replace you and your family. And they want clean streets. So so oh, oh that's way it's better. Yeah, it's the eye of Saran now. That's why it's better. There was no crime and more door. Everybody was on the same page. So things don't always get better in the way that you would want them to get better. For example, London recently just got rid of this non-dom rule, this non-domicile rule, which means for many, many years, you could live in London as a predominantly full-time resident. But if you made your money in like Kazakhstan and natural gas or whatever, you didn't have to pay UK taxes on that. So it was kind of a fun scam. You'd come from another country, you'd have businesses in the in that country. And some of those countries didn't didn't have high tax burdens. And you could live in the UK and enjoy the benefits of London and put your kids in a private school and go to Harib's, the big department store and go to the restaurants and have your little dictator children drive their fruaries around fucking Kensington and live that life and put them in little prep schools and have them be English gentleman and they'll have their little British accents. Father, father, why you wanted to dig father, all of these things. And then London recently, the UK just said we're getting rid of non-dom. We're getting rid of that. You can no longer live here. Yeah. The UK non-dom non-domicile tax regime was officially abolished in a place with a new residence based system. High net worth individuals living in London no longer afford UK taxes on worldwide income. Okay, here's what's happening. People are leaving. They're leaving. They're leaving. I'm just telling you what's happening. You can't run a scam for fucking years and then turn around to a bunch of people and go, "Hey, that scam we were running. We're not doing that anymore." But you still like the food, right? Don't you want to stay here for our fish pudding? No. Out. They leave. They go to Dubai and they go to wherever they go and it doesn't even matter. A lot of them leave. Some of them stay, but a lot of those people who lived their primarily because it was a scam and it had things they liked. But the reason they liked those things so much is because they didn't have to pay for them. They didn't have to pay for them. Now, we know that, by the way, and I've talked endlessly on this show about what a dysfunctional way to run a society this is. We know that. But we've done it for a long time. And when you make an abrupt change like that, it does have an effect. So when all of these AI companies converge on San Francisco to do things that all of us might not like, the actual metropolis of San Francisco starts looking a lot better. People start pumping money into it. People care about it. It's not in that quote unquote doom loop that it was in. But why? Is it because we're paying teachers more or firefighters or nurses or like, is it because people can afford San, no, and it's increasingly becoming unaffordable. So basically, you have an influx of AI money cleaning up this city. But it is getting cleaned up, but it's not the way that you would want. So Spencer Pratt has said, I'm going to leave Los Angeles if I lose, if I lose the mayoral race, I'm out. And here's what Spencer Pratt should do if he had balls. Spencer Pratt got into the race because his house burned down. His mother's house burned down his entire block in the palisades burned down. Spencer Pratt, if you are listening to this show and I don't know if you are, if you lose and you will statistically, there is no way you can win. Looking at the numbers, if you lose this election, you should not leave LA. You should burn it the fuck down. Literally, burn it the fuck down, burn the rest of it down. Spencer Pratt should dedicate the rest of his life to going around LA at night like a psychopath with a gas can, burning down the homes of the people that weren't affected. Let them smell the smoke Spencer. Let them breathe in the ash, burn their fucking houses down. Get up trash can man from the stand. Trash can man from the stand. Steven King's mini series to stand. There was a character called trash can man. Spencer Pratt, if you are listening to this program, God, I hope you are. You must spend the rest of your life engaging in what they would call ecoterism, ecoterism, meaning terrorism, environmental. You got to go out and start burning the fuck. You got to burn it down in the middle of the night. You're in a van. You get a couple of homeless people. You get a couple of assorted psychopaths and you go out on nightly raids. You go out on nightly raids and you burn. You burn this shit down. If Spencer Pratt was the man, this is Spencer Pratt if he's the man. If Spencer Pratt hasn't in him when he loses, he immediately looks like this and he becomes trash can man from the stand. Here he goes. This is how he goes into his campaign rally when he's declared when he has to concede. This is what it looks like when it concedes. That's right. Burn it down baby. Rediscover your love fire. Has broad Spencer Pratt, okay, get rid of it. We got it. Spencer Pratt fire has brought him back into relevance. Now Spencer Pratt likes relevance. Now it didn't a painful way. It took his home, but it's also filled him. There's more life in that man than I've seen in years. And I know that because he hasn't been on television in years. He's back baby in a big way. Now you must use fire and it has to work for you. Start going on nightly raids as soon as you lose this election. Here's a thing the glamour's over. You're not going to be the mayor. Fuck a reality show. Anybody want to is going to watch that shit. You need to move into the final face of your life because here's the thing. You will be killed or you will be imprisoned at the end of this. Your body will be riddled in hell of bullets at the end of this because eventually the cops are going to pull out and we're going to go, yeah, we thought it was Spencer Pratt. And you're going to have a gas can and there's going to be a mansion on fire and you'll be laughing like the Joker. You'll be running down the street and you'll point at the cops. You go, yes, see this. Yes, see what you made me do. That's his catchphrase. You see what you made me do and you burned down large things to obviously homes but very big homes and palatial homes but also commercial buildings and strip malls. Try to burn to and you're some of this will have to use explosive. Sorry, sorry. And people a few of them will die. You don't want to kill a lot of people, but they'll be a night guard or whatever and he'll have to get it. But the point is yes, you must, if you're a Spencer Pratt and you lose the LA mayoral election, go on nightly raids and begin to plant explosives in LA buildings, both residential and commercial light buildings on fire. You're going to have to kill people, not a lot of them, but a few of them will be collateral damage. Sadly, an onlooker or something, you can't control the blaze and then you're going to need to tag all your, there's going to be a massive FBI manhunt. There's going to be a massive FBI manhunt for you. People are going to be very upset and you can't get caught for a while. You have to do these things pretty shrewdly so that it builds the mystique. It's like Banksy that artist who never said who he was, but instead of making these dumb art things, he just burned down stuff and you should tag all the things you burn and you should try to burn down as much as you can of Los Angeles before you are arrested or killed, probably be killed. And you want to, you want to die. You want to die. I know you have kids in a wife. I get it. It's sad. You've chosen your path. I know it. You are right now to become a eco terrorist on a level that we've never seen. I'm giving you instructions. I hope you take them. I can't. I'm telling you. I'm telling you what you must do. These ballots might be not so smart. The ballot, whatever they're doing, the harvesting, whatever. She's getting all these mail and ballots. Fine. Here's what I'm saying. Bubb. I don't know that everything's on the up and up here. I don't know about that. So if I were you, I would grab a gas can and run through the city like a bat out of hell and you should burn it old and start as many fires as you can in the 72 hours that you right after you lose and having a fact, having a fact, go out and it would be like Batman. If you still appeared on talk shows for a little while during the day, but started the fires at night and then you could still still have it be your big issue. You can be like you see these fucking fires. Man, if I was in there and then maybe there's a recall election.
and carren's out before they even catch you and you do become the mayor. But Mr. Pratt, you will only be the mayor if you use the time after you lose. Or now, before you even, if you're denied the opportunity of a runoff or whatever, Mr. Pratt, listen up. Serious advice, please. Listen up. Spencer Pratt, friend of the show, you must burn it down literally, not figuratively. Sure, these campaign ads are cute, but you know what's what's really effective starting fires all over the city like where the fireman can't even keep up with them. That's the advice. Spencer Pratt, um, that's the advice. England, which I was just in, is admittedly a little bit cleaner than New York. New York, when you land at New York, seems like a third world slum, even though New York is obviously not terrible. It's my city of, you know, that I love and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but it was lovely being in London. They are having a little bit of their 2020 moment now, meaning like they're having issues with migration. They're having issues with speech. They're having a lot of protests. There's dueling protests at the Tommy Robinson guy. He's like more of a, um, you know, restore British sovereignty thing anti-migration. Then you have people on the other side of that that are like, stop the support of Israel and they also are like, hey, more immigration. Um, so you have definitely a situation there that could get, it's a little combustible. And this, this sad thing happened where this kid Henry Noah, who was just kid in South Hampton, the UK, was stabbed. He's a young kid, young guy, young man, 18, 19, he gets stabbed and by a Sikh. And these are usually very peaceful people. The Sikhs and the Sikhs have a ceremonial knife and the Sikh has a ceremonial knife and he stabs Henry Noah and the cops show up and the Sikh goes, hey, I was a victim of the hate crime. And Henry Noah goes, hey, I was stabbed and the cops and the Sikhs, he's lying and like the other cop, one of the women goes, yeah, we know he's lying. We got to check anyway. Well, it turns out they cuffed Henry Noah, the kid who was stabbed, the white kid who was stabbed and he bleeds out. And he then dies in handcuffs and he says, I can't breathe that thing that George Floyd said. And so now there is a huge kerfuffle, bruhaha in the United Kingdom. And it's all over this. It's all over the idea that the police are showing preferential treatment to migrants or non-white people. Perhaps this is the idea. Certain edicts have come out like things directives from the cops saying that we have to, you know, this, this idea of two-tier policing. There is a quote in the directive saying, we're not going to treat everyone equally, you know, which basically means like we realize there's been inequity in how we've dealt with different groups of people. And we're going to correct that now. And so what that has led to is if this young white kid goes, hey, I got stabbed and this Sikh was like, hey, he didn't or the Sikh because he's lying. And I was the victim of a hate crime because of these directives that require cops to take all this other stuff into account. They're not just appraising the scene. They're going, well, let's look at the historical content. And these are cops. He's not bright people. No offense to cops, but they're not the brightest people. That doesn't mean they're the dumbest people, but police are not the brightest people. So you're asking a cop who's like a cop. And I'm not saying like I'm not denigrating them. I believe we need them. I believe we should pay them. But a cop really should just respond to the facts on the ground. And some of them can't even do that. So now we're asking them to take like all of these other considerations into account about like what is the historical trauma that might be playing out here and on what scale? And how can I use my position as a cop? This weird, this, you know, they dress insane and pretend these little hats. They walk around with a club. A lot, they don't even have guns. Like, and they're like, how can I use my my position here to uh, make sure that I'm honoring the directives from the home office telling me that I need to be equitable in all my actions. Um, official guidance documents from bodies like the college of policing and the national police chief's council state that equality and fairness are sometimes achieved through equity rather than by treating everyone the same. They don't, the cop doesn't even know what that means. A cop does not even know what that means. By the way, I don't even, I don't even agree with that, but I know what it means. I'm a genius. I'm a podcaster. But these cops, a lot of them are idiots. They have clubs. They just walk around. They just clubbed, you know, what a job of a British cop is you see an Irish guy in the street and you hit them. You hit them to get them back into his little slum. Get in your slum. You dumb, Mick. That's what my whole family dealt with for years. Some drunk from my family would just start going out in the street and yelling and screaming and these British to some constable would hop out of the car dress like pattington the bear and start whacking them with a club and they would gang up on them and hit them with a club. Now you're asking these people who like live in a pretend reality over there like and it's not to say that like it's just a different thing over there. They've got I'm the Baroness of shut up. It's fake. It's fine but like, you know, my husband is two hundredth in line to the throne. He's the hell of the whatever. Now we're asking these people to understand what that even means. Fairness is sometimes achieved through equity rather than they don't know what equity mean. They don't know what any of it means. Anti-racism framework such as the police race action plan which instruct officers to consider the distinct historical and demographic context of different communities of suspects. Oh my god. What? Hit the Irishman with a stick. That was their job for two hundred years. Hit the Irish drunk with a stick. Back him down and then put him back in his slum. Now we want them to consider the historical and demographic context of different communities and suspects rather than utilizing an entirely colored line approach. So these cops show up on the thing. They got a seek and a white kid bleeding at the seat because this white kid's being racist. Now they can't doubt that. They have to agree with the seek. All right. Let's watch this. It is depressing because what is this? The kid's dying, right? This is sad. Yeah. This is the body cam footage. All right. This is body cam footage. So we are going to watch this but don't put an ad right after this because someone will get pissed. It's very hard to watch somebody bleed out and they're trying to sell fucking, you know, Bluetooth or whatever the fuck we're selling on this goddamn put it on. All right, Peter, everyone, by the way. This is the body cam footage of this. Here we are. Here we are. What's your name, mate? What's your name, my? Is anyone been up in the name? See, stop it for a minute. Can you tell how dumb the cops are already? Is anyone been, uh, other than him? The cops are drunk. The cops are stabbing. Do you know how dumb? Can you imagine, but the guy that you just heard in this video? Can you imagine asking him? Is he considering it a framework? The historical framework of what happened? What historical framework? Someone got knifeed. It happens every day. It's not about the historical framework. But think about it. As you listen to this call anybody, uh, other than him. What's going on over there? Love a brev. What'd you do? You got a little, you got a little, got a little excited to blight? I think I slip into Australian. You know, when I do a British like that, I do slip into an Australian accent, which now people are going to say, are you breaking up this death video to do bits? Here's the thing, folks. The kids are ready dead. Did I say, have them now a seek dead with a ceremonial life? But my thing is this, think of how dumb these cops, I mean, they're real retards over there to cops. They're dumb. They're dumb here. They're dumb and most blatant. Not all cops. By the way, there's cops that listen to this show. You are brilliant. You're the smartest people in the world. I'm not talking to you. If you listen to this show and you buy the products in the ads and you like and subscribe and tell your friends about the show and you help the show move up the charts, I am obviously not speaking about you, but the people you hate at work, those idiots who don't listen to me or list other people. It's them. They're a fucking problem. And we both know that. But we're asking these lug head empty head cops in the UK, whose entire job for 200 years was just beating drunks in the street with a club. That's what they would do. That's their whole job. There was a, they had a road of pub. Like someone has a road of pub. Somebody gets thrown through a the window and then they come.
in and they start hitting that guy with the club and then they bring him to the jail. Now we're asking them to, well, can you assess the cultural ramifications of the, what, what are you talking about? Okay, let's, let's play the rest of this place here. Let's treat this sensitively, fucks. Grab my brother, he's took my turbine off, so I grab on my head. Are you injured? Yeah, yeah, I've got swollen eye, little bruise on my foot. Is that back a little bit for me? Someone flagged these down. Right, let's get you out of there, shall we? By the way, I'm going to use this the next time I'm in the UK and somebody's like, Mr. Dylan, did you smoke his cigarette in the room? I'm going to go, someone took my turbine. Why don't you focus on that? Focus on someone who just stole my turbine. Grab is up around, what's happened to you, all right? You've been stabbed, whereabouts? I don't think you have, right? Out of the gap, see, so immediately the cops who are, which is a hilarious thing alive about being stabbed, there was just something, for now I guess drunk people lie about everything, but there was just something funny about like going like, I've been stabbed and then they like lift up your shirt and you're not stabbed and you just shrug and you're like, gotcha. So this guy goes, I've been stabbed and they go, I don't think you have, so their initial reaction is to go, I don't think you've been stabbed, mate, mate. I don't think you've been stabbed. I wish this was all with the northern accents. I love the northern accents, where they're like, I eat my breaky, I eat my breaky. Maldor. That looks like that SD kit from Liverpool. I like the Scouse accent, bacha, take a bacha, take a bacha, take a bacha. You ever see that show out of lessons and like, Jamie, why you, that's a fun show that out of lessons. It's about this kid who's inspired by Andrew Tate to carve a bitch up in a, in a parking lot. Now I, it was a little heavy, but what, the acting's phenomenal. Now it's a little heavy handed on the messaging. Like it's a little like there's a part in it where like, they're like, why do you just have this girl and like the kids like, well, I was listening to Joe Ruegan. I was listening to Joe Ruegan and I go, I go down a rabbit hole and I found Andrew Tate. And then from Andrew Tate, it's like, it's a little heavy handed with the messaging there, but it's phenomenal acting and it's great acting, but I do like that northern accents so I would prefer this death video to be in that sort of dialect. But let's see a little bit more of it. I don't want to be ghoulish and keep watching it, but so this is what people are upset about over there because this kid goes, have been stabbed and the cop goes, no, you haven't because the cop looks at him. He's a white kid. The cop's like, you're, you're probably fibbing. I have to believe this seek. Go on, hand, put the hand in the cuff, mate, yeah, so I mean, all right, let's, this is ghoulish. Get out of here. We don't want to watch this, but so they're cuffing his dead kid on the ground. So obviously the two reactions to this are, let's attack random brown people, obviously wrong, wrong, bad, not good. We don't want to start doing that. That's terrible. That's anti civilization. That's violence. That's insane. That's what we all know this. And then the other response to it is from like the polite society people is to ignore completely and to go, it actually doesn't mean anything. There's no meaning to be found in this one. There's meaning to be found in every other thing, but not this one. Like, so you go and London and people are very terrified there of offending anyone, not everyone. A lot of people, like I asked a comic to open for me, I did a couple of shows, they're a sweet kid, nice kid. But he was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, and he was like, well, one notch out of the funeral and the next notch out of his show. And so, but, but again, because here's the deal. These people, they, oh, there's no real internet stuff going on over there. You work for the BBC. If the BBC calls you a racist, you starve in the street and you die. People there, and they're 10 years behind us, they read tabloids in the supermarket. They watch what's on the tube. They watch BBC. What's on the tele? They like, they like rules. They like regular. And I'm not saying that we're great. By the way, every week, I say we're not great, but I will say that what they are used to over there is much more of a top down paramilitary type of like overt system of customs, laws, rules. Some of those things are nice. Some of them are quaint. Some of them are seem a little silly in 2026, but all of them inspire a sense of compliance a little bit in the public. And those people tend to be a little afraid like they're stunned in America that we can kind of say what we want, wherever we want, and if we get paid to do it, that is not the way that happens over there. And that doesn't mean that you have brilliant comedians there. We could convey. Isn't should be calling a lot of people. I'm not saying people are getting arrested for making an off-color joke. But what I am saying is there is much more social pressure in that system currently to have the quote unquote right opinion. Then there is in the United States because we had that 2020 moment six years ago. They're having it now, not directly attributable to this case. I just mean like the dam is breaking. People are a little sick of not being able to discuss things that are actually happening around them and they feel that they are being stymied by a system of customs and requirements that none of them signed up for. And the way that they have to conduct these conversations in polite society, they feel like they have been limited and they're getting sick of that. So they are basically the dam is breaking because that's the thing. When you try to shut people up, it will work for a period of time. And then you have to start killing them. You actually have to start killing people because people's mouths are so big and it's what most people do. Most people just talk. Some people fight. Some people like, you know, are like go rowing. Some people jog up a hill. Some people use drugs. But most people, the predominant thing they do in their life is talk. That is what they do. That's the muscle that gets used the most. That's what people do. So when you shut that off or guilt people into doing a certain way or try to control it, it will never work forever. Then you have to move in and kill them. You have to do two things with a mouth by them or kill them. You have to buy them off or kill them. So that's basically where Britain is right now. I love my time in London. It's their 21 days. We missed last week. And we, I appreciate it. I like it there. It's an important place. A lot of my fitness. I went to France for a few days. I love that. Italy, South of France are more beautiful. Food's better, whatever. They're not interesting and they don't matter. South of France, Italy are just not interesting and they don't matter. London's interesting. It's one of the oldest societies in the world. One of the other ones, Beirut, is getting destroyed right now by Israel. A country whose commitment to peace is, I got to be honest, a little questionable. But Britain is one of the oldest civilized societies in the world. There's many others. I'm not, you're saying that because they're white. Now it's just one of the oldest and they've been around a long time. London's an amazing city. It's cosmopolitan. It's global. But the tension points of that culture and the way and the benefits of it, the things where they do things a lot better than we do are interesting to see in the things where they don't do things as well as I think we do. Those are interesting things for me to observe and to think about. And I talked to a lot of people there that do, that are starting to admit, and I saw Pierce, of course, got a lot of fun in his show, Pierce Morgan. But they are admitting that there's some issues there. And I don't, I don't know. I mean, this guy got sentenced, this digua guy who stabbed that kid and RIP, that kid's parents came out and said, "We don't want this to be the cause of riots. We don't want, you know, but whatever." I mean, in a sense that like, it's, I don't know, they're that mad, you know, it isn't mad. And there's always the person who's usually when they, somebody dies, a person comes out and goes, "Let's not, guys, let's not." You know, he wouldn't have wanted this and people just don't keep, that's not what they're doing it. They're not rioting to honor him, they're rioting to riot. That's why people riot, but so they do have some issues there. One of the stories I read over there because I do remember in speaking of 2020, I do remember living in LA and the TikTokers were running the city. All the older celebrities were scared of getting bad press for going out and the young TikTokers didn't care. They were like 16. They would, you'd be at a restaurant and you'd see like these mobs of children, you didn't know who they were, but they were all millionaires and some waitress would have to explain to them what Bernays sauce was and it was terribly embarrassing because all those waiters and waitresses had moved to LA to be actors and of course because of the pandemic, they, you know, they couldn't get any work. And then the only people that were making any money with these kids doing these dances on TikTok, now this seems like ancient history and it is. But the biggest of all of these people is Charlie Dominguez.
Emilio and her sister Dixie Demilio, they were the two biggest tiktokers of their generation. They were several others, Addison Ray, whatever, but the Demilios symbolized the meteoric rise you could have on tiktok now, and we talked about them before in the show a few times. Their parents recently have been accused of stealing their money, stealing Charlie Demilio was the younger of the two sisters and was the more successful one. I did not steal from my daughter, Charlie Demilio's dad. Well, here's what I say to that, you cock, you should have. You should have the Demilio and yes, of course, he's probably stole from his daughter allegedly. Let's read a little bit. Charlie Demilio's dad is fighting back against claims millions of dollars were stolen from her account while under the watch of him and his wife. What originally came from Dumann alleged the tiktok superstar became aware of the missing cash after her parents Mark and Heidi were supposed to have been removed from her account. The gossip account also posted posted that the issue caused a rift in the family with Charlie sister Dixie siding with their parents. Mark Demilio said no one called me for an interview. This is not true. We love Charlie, but she's being manipulated and either receipts over the last six years we have remained silent and never addressed gossip, but the time has come to set the record straight. She's always had a team in place, lawyers, a business manager, an agent. We purposely set it up that way, not sure if you know anything about our family, but we were doing fine before tiktok. Here's the deal. Here's the deal, folks. Here's the deal. This is what it is. When your children are famous, when your children get famous, you have every right, listen to me out there. You have every right to steal their money. It is a time on a tradition. It is the reason that your children are famous, it's so that you can steal their money. Your children are not, first of all, that lady, Ms. Demilio, was not famous for any real reason. She was famous because a Chinese guy flipped the switch and she looked like the girl next door. This is all kind of well known now about what tiktok wasn't kind of is. And they created these things called icons in the beginning of tiktok to get people onto the site. And they chose people that had certain looks. And Charlie Demilio was a girl next door and she was a dancer and it was a dancing app. And she got famous. And was she a hard worker? Sure. Maybe she's a lovely person. That's maybe she is. I don't know, but I'm telling you right now her parents were well within their rights to steal her money because she was famous for nothing. Easy come easy go and they, okay, is this him talking about it? Yeah. Let's see this liar. Let's see this life. By the way, I would have stolen her money. If that bitch, I would have been like she's famous for doing what now she's making what for what our daughter's a multi millionaire. She's shaking her ass on tiktok for pedophiles. I'm stealing the money. We're pimping our daughter out for fucking pedophiles on a Chinese dancing app. Yes, I'll be stealing the money. What is this masterpiece theater? This is a, this is a disease. This app was a disease. It was like a weapon used against us, whatever it was. This whole idea, steal her, and now this guy's a shady fuck we talked about him on the show before. The whole family's criminals. I met them one time. I actually really liked them because of that. And he had every right and in fact, dare I say responsibility to steal money from his talentless children. When you are a parent of a successful child, you hate them. I'll say it again. I'll say it again. Again, when you are a parent of a successful child, you hate them. A part of you hates them. You're living vicariously through them. The oldest and greatest musical in our country, Gypsy, is about this thing. And Audra McDonald was brilliant and it now it's off and you'll never see it on Broadway. But the point is this it is a long held American tradition to try to live vicariously through your children. And when they make it a part of you burns inside because even though you are happy for them, you are angry that it is not you on the stage. It is not you shaking your ass on a Chinese dancing app. It is not you that people magazine wants to do the interview with. And you're like, but I raised her. She has my DNA. I'm the one that's interesting. I'm the one that's worked hard. So the only thing left you have to do at that point is to steal their money. That's why they steal all their money because they hate their children, not not not every part of them, but they they get so successful. And then the parents they they have to do something. So in order to feel better about this, they steal their children's money. And I could not be more supportive of this. I believe in this. I defend this man. I wish you stole all over my I wish you stole it all and gave it to Israel. I wish he stole every dollar she earned and gave it to Israel because they are committed to peace. I've never I've never seen a country as committed to peace is that country. Let's listen to this. Mark Demilio friend of the show defending himself. I guess against accusations that he stole his daughter's money, I I would go the other way on this. I would go. Her money's my money. She was a minor. She lived in my house. She was dancing on a Chinese app. I get her money and I get to decide what she makes. Mark Demilio. Hey, look, someone just wrote another stop right there. Everyone that starts Hey, look is guilty. There is no Hey, look, there is no innocent person in this country who starts a sentence with Hey, look, Hey, look, Hey, look, Hey, look, play that again, play those two words again, please Hey, look, someone just, Hey, Hey, Hey, look, people said they stole my daughter's money, Hey, look, what do you want me to do? She had money. It was in the bank. We don't even know why we don't get it. The world went mad. They started giving these 16 year olds money to do lip syncing challenges. Yeah, I stole it. What do you think I'm going to do? Not steal it. Let's hear him out. Another family ruined by fame. We're not ruined. I feel more normal now than I ever did. I'm just not going to let people lie, so a website that said we, we, by the way, stop, stop video. I've never seen a guilty person than this man. I have not the laughing in them and he's like, he's like, we're not wrong. I feel more normal now than I ever have. I mean, this guy is so incredibly guilty. Look at him. Look how much he enjoys stealing that money. Look at that face. Look how happy he is stealing that money. Why would you want him to not steal that money? She's still got enough money. It's fine. You know, here's the deal. It's a little selfish of Charlie Demilio to walk out on her parents just because they stole her money. She's the problem. She's the one who's destroying the family. She has enough money. She should just let her parents steal from her because it's the only thing that keeps them alive. The only thing that is keeping them alive and keeping them happy, the only thing that makes him feel like a man is stealing from his daughter. And the fact that she takes that away from him is disgusting. It's disgusting. The fact that she would ruin a family unit by calling him out on this publicly is disgusting. Let's finish your place. I forgot. I just said something along the lines of, we took money and put it offshore. I don't even know how to do that. Okay. All right. By the way, stop it. This is another thing that no one, people go there like, I wouldn't even know how to do it. What do you mean? What do you mean? You wouldn't know how to do it. They're saying we put money off shore. I wouldn't even know how to do it. What does that even mean? You just go to the Cayman Islands. Ask somebody. Take a flight to the Cayman Islands and sit there and go, how can we make some of this money to go to Switzerland? Go away and ask, what are you talking about? Ask another rich person. Ask a wealthy person. What if I wouldn't even know how to, I won't even, I don't even, I don't even, like come on, dude. We got our own money. We're fine. The state was never being going through this process was never about money. It isn't. Stop it. He's right about that. It's not that they were destitute or needed her money. He was not stealing from her because he needed her money. He was stealing from her because it made him feel like a man and it made him feel alive. And he hates his children because they are successful and I respect and honor that. And I acknowledge that and that it is uncomfortable and painful. But many parents, including my own, hate their children because they are successful. And that's okay. It doesn't matter. I still love my parents. It doesn't matter. I don't begrudge them that feeling.
But this man, it was never, he's right about that. See, that's when, when he goes, it's never about money. That's the only time he's telling the truth because it isn't. He didn't steal from her because he needed the money. He stole from her because he felt like it was the right thing to do. He felt undervalued. He resent at her level of success and he stole her money because of that. And I am, I side with him and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I say, I say a box on his daughter, that witch who said, you stole my money. She should have quietly kept her mouth shut and said, I realized how important it is for my father to steal this money so he can feel alive, play it. Having this crazy, awesome experience with my family and that's it. So the balance of being a dad when you're going through this, when your kids are making a lot of money, the hard part is not stealing. Like you see opportunity that I never had as a kid, but I also saw the other dads, like, you know, I heard about Michael Jackson's dad and these crazy dads that just push your kids. You never did that. Right. And you, and you're like, why do they have any money? You're like, why, what is he? He's, they always tell on themself. Everyone tells on themself. So what's happening here is he's confessing. This is a confession. He thinks it's a, this is what's hilarious. He thinks it's a denial. It's a confession. He thinks he's denying the charges. He's confessing to the crime. This is unbelievable. He's like, you know, you see these kids, you famous. Here's the way. Here's the, what? Here's what an honest person does or at least a smart person who's dishonest, right? Yeah, I hope her mental health is okay. And I hope she's not on any kind of drugs because she's clearly being manipulated by people. And I love her. She's my daughter and would love to talk to her whenever she wants to talk to me without cameras. Good night. That's when an honest, that's what somebody who's either not guilty does or someone who's guilty and smart. Here's what someone who's guilty and dumb does. You know, when your kids are famous, you see a lot of opportunities they had you didn't have. And I think I'm Michael Jackson's father and all these other fathers, they pushed your kids, you know, and I never did anything like that. So, so basically, where's mine? What do I get out of this? You know, I got a bunch of pedophiles jacking to my daughter and my underage daughter and she's up there shaking her ass. And what am I supposed to get no money out of this? I'm supposed to get nothing out of this. Keep going. Marked a million, a friend of the show. Businesses and things that gave them opportunity to do whatever they wanted when down the road. And that was it. And I'm a bad guy for setting my kids up for success and putting them in places where they can make a lot of money. I mean, we're living the dream. That's it. By the way, stop it for a second. His daughter, this is how funny it is. His daughter is accusing him of stealing the money. He goes, we're living the dream. But this is the American dream. By the way, here's another thing I'm going to agree with him on. This is the American dream. The American dream is to prop up your talentless children and to do pedophiles into paying for their content and then to steal their money and then have them leave your house and grab lawyers and accuse you of stealing it. That is the, by the way, it's kind of, he's correct. He goes, we're living a dream. My daughter got famous on a Chinese app that was watched by pedophiles. She made a lot of money and I stole it. And now she left and she's suing me and we're living the dream because he's right. That is the American dream. It's not what do you think it is now owning a house, 2.5 kids, white pick and fence, get real. This is the only dream left. And he's right. That's why he's not really upset. He's not really upset about any of this. It's kind of unfazed. He's not phased by it. He's not upset his daughter is accusing him of stealing money. He thinks it's funny. He kind of thinks it's funny. He's very cash about the whole thing. He's casual because the reality is he knows she's not famous for any goddamn reason. He knows that life's a horrific casino. There's children more talented than her that are being lit on fire in mass and Gaza right now because they were having to be born there. And it's a horrific fact that kid Henry. No, I just get stabbed or whatever. I don't know, but like you put them in these positions. What position you put her in a dance class? Shut up. She got famous and that's okay. It's all created equal. Talent is obviously not created equal, but whatever. She made her money. A lot of these ticked on kids when nice kids when I met them, you know what? We go out to dinner and they be like, "Hey, man, I'm a fan." They were nice. I never knew any of them that well, but they were all somewhat respectful kids, some of them are mentally ill and killed people, whatever. It's not my problem. As long as you were nice to me for a brief period of time, you're okay in my book. You're okay in my book, even if you're a murderer. So what truly, if you are okay in my book, then it, that's my book. I get that book. You did other things other people. So this guy is just basically saying, I stole my daughter's money because at the end of the day, what did you want me to do? What was I supposed to do? There's all this money around that my daughter has, and I don't have, and I want, I can't get famous like she does. I can't shake my ass on the camera for money. I have to steal the money. That's 'cause, 'cause when is it my turn? You see in Jeppie, they should do an updated gypsy. There's a show Gypsy about this woman whose daughter Gypsy Rose Lee becomes a burlesque dancer. She starts out in Vaudeville and she's trying to, and she's trying to make her daughter famous. And this woman's obsessed with making her daughter famous. Her daughter only gets famous as a burlesque dancer. And the penultimate song of this musical, these are all the people that doubt I'm gay hear this, the penultimate song of the musical is, it's called everything's coming up roses where this woman finally confronts that she's never gonna be famous and her daughter doesn't need her anymore. And there's this really powerful song which goes, what, what is it my turn? What do I get a dream for myself? And then she's like, it's gonna be me. And she's like, you know, in this massive delusion where she thinks she's on stage and she's doing this whole thing. And this is Mark DeMilliam. When is it my turn? My daughter entertain pedophiles on an app made by the Chinese. When do I get a dream for myself? And then at the end, you know, everything's coming up roses. And that's Mark DeMilliam. Everything's coming up roses. I stole all that bitches money. Because he's right. This is the oldest dream in America is to live vicariously through your children, watch them be successful and then hate them. It's just what it is. Quickly, let's talk a little bit about another legacy, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, why I just get a good feeling from him. I don't know anyone else. Does anyone else just get a good feeling from Jared Kushner? I just, I get a good feeling from Jared Kushner. I do. And so here's Ivanka Trump talking about a big project. And I've always said this about marriages. You need a project. I've said this, whether it's a home renovation or, you know, looking at colleges for the kids, whatever it is, you need a project as a married couple. Maybe you're restoring an old barn, the wife wants an art studio. You want them in, cave, whatever. You know, so Jared and Ivanka Trump, or I'm sorry, yeah, Jared and Ivanka Trump are building a massive off-the-grid private island in the middle of the Mediterranean. Now you would think, hey, Epstein, Sting, the, the Files, it's probably a bad look to go do this right now. But who cares? The island spans 1400 hectares, hectakers, and currently has no power. They'll be working with some of the world's greatest living architects to bring this vision of life. So people that voted for Trump voted for Trump because he wanted to improve or supposedly want to improve the economic quality of the lives of the average ordinary working class American. He wanted to restore sanity to the immigration system. He wanted to get rid of the DEI, go back to more of a merit-based appraisal of people's talent because he thought, and I agree with him in the sense of DEI in and of itself is inherently un-American and it radicalizes people all over the place. And unfortunately, even though we're an imperfect society, we certainly not call it one. We do need to consider merit in the sense of, of how we assign value to people and their jobs. And so he was going to do all of this. He was going to help Americans afford groceries. And he was going to be more transparent about areas where the government might have been hiding things like 11 Epstein, whatever. None of, none of that has happened. However, his daughter and her husband are building an island or they're building a, I don't know, I guess, a resort. She's going to tell us what it is. But here's what I'll say. It's exciting. I'm excited by this. And I know that none of the other stuff happened, but at least this is something exciting. Here's Ivanka Trump, everyone. An incredible project with my husband and the Mediterranean. It's massive in scale. I think that's an understatement. Can you explain? There's no power on this island. You're building everything from scratch. Yes. It's an unbelievable, beautiful 1,400 hectare private islands in the middle of the Mediterranean. We were on a friend's boat and we stopped for a swim. In fact,
actively, that's how we found it. We swam too. Stop it for a minute. Here's the great thing about the zars. 'Cause there's artists, there's artists. And I have great respect for Russia. I don't want to live there. I don't, I don't, you know, I'm not in love with Putin all the time. I do think some of what he does is fun. The bear and, you know, be going in those cult legs. Don't love all of their policies, obviously. You wouldn't want to live there. I'm kind of bummed that I can't get a direct flight there from a NATO country because I do want to try where they invented a chicken Kiev. But I want to go to St. Petersburg and Moscow. It's an old society that's produced lots of literature. Conservatives jerk it off because they're a little stupid and they don't really understand. It's like the pretend it's a religious society. It's like it was a communist society of fourth-day, it wasn't for years. But whatever, everything's fake and nothing matters. So it doesn't matter. So whatever, just whatever you want to do, you can believe anything you want to believe. But like, I don't think we should go to war with Russia. I don't think we should antagonize Russia. I think we should just leave it be and let me go there and have dinner. That being said, these are zarists. The Trump family, they become zarists. They want you to know how much they don't live your life. And in the beginning, that was cute because it was honest. You know, when Trump got out there and he was like, this plane, they said it would take off and it didn't. You know, it was his own plane. And like, he was honest with people and they liked it because it was refreshing. He was a rich guy, not pretend to be broke. Like, when I go to these cities, I go to London and Paris, I'm fortunate enough because of people that listen to the show. I'm very grateful that I can stay in nicer hotels. And whenever I stay in a nicer hotel, inevitably, I'm confronted with somebody who goes, yeah, but that's like not the real London. That's like not the real Paris. I'm like, that's right. That's correct. You don't want to see the real London or the real Paris. Maybe I'll walk through it, but I don't care. There is no real London or real Paris anymore. Those are just rich kids larping as something they're not. Let's just go to where the rich people don't pretend to be anything but rich. Let's cut it out. I need to go hang out and some hipster suburb with it. So let me just hang out with their parents. Let me have fucking tea with their parents. Why do I need to hang out with them? Why 'cause they posted something progressive on the internet? I forget how rich they fucking are. There is no real, you got to see the real London. The real London is that kid getting stabbed. I don't want to go to that. That wasn't in London, but it's a little outside of it. But like, that's the real, what is the real anything? No, I want to see where people don't pretend to be anything other than what it is. In the beginning when the Trumps emerged and Donald, these people, nothing, they mean nothing. They're the runoff of the dynasty. But like he was honest with people and it made them like him 'cause he did not pretend to be in any way relatable. He was an egotistical maniac who told people, nobody does it like me. You know, when this concert, he's gonna do this concert to celebrate America's 250th anniversary and all these acts pulled out. He goes, "Let's just replace him with the greatest act of all time." The guy who filled more seats in Elvis and his prime and did it without a guitar, Donald J. Trump. Like he's a czarist. He's still that guy who put now that people are broke and he's selling the government off for parts and no one cares. It's not cute anymore. It's not fun anymore 'cause everybody was like, we want him to be our czar. Even me, I was like, is there, what a great movie? The rich scumbag becomes the rich scumbag of the people? What a movie. The leader of America's never gonna be not a rich scumbag. I'm 41. I didn't grow up in another country. I know who we are and I know what this thing is. And I know what it's always been. Well, you're naive, no, no, no, no. No, you thought Sanders was gonna win. You fucked hard, you're naive. He got sandbagged by his own fucking people he would ever gonna let him win. I just thought maybe there was a chance that the rich scumbag liar was gonna do it for us. There was that chance. Maybe that's how the movie ended. Now it was not, I'll admit that. But that belief was this patriotic as I could get. There was this patriotic as I knew you like Obamac, 'cause you wanna talk shows and he was a cerebral contemplative guy. But they locked up a lot of whistleblowers and threw a lot of people out of their houses and deported a lot of people. But you don't give a shit 'cause Jimmy Kimmel didn't talk about it. You moron. But I thought maybe this rich scumbag could have been the rich scumbag for America, but he was not. He's for Israel, he's for Qatar, if they give him a plane. These people are talking about an island in the Mediterranean. We're gonna let her finish. But keep in mind, as you listen to the rest of this, how little, go watch that movie, Melania, if you think. You know, it's just, it heard walking out of a G6, G5 plane, going upon beach the first 15 minutes or her getting fitted for an outfit. They wanna sell you the way that Russia did for many years, the greatness of the, and the glory of the state. And they are the state, we have the hottest country in the world. What that means when he says that is that my family is getting rich and you live vicariously through us. You know, he wants, he's turning us all into Mark Demilio. He wants us all to be Mark Demilio. Sitting there, looking at another person, get all the fame, get all the money. Take a look here, let's let Ivanka finish him. - WAM to the islands. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way up to the top and we were just captivated. And it stayed with us ever since. And over the course of many years, we developed the opportunity to help realize its potential and transform it, but with a lot of restraint and care because the land is so beautiful. - By the way, stop it from it. This is closing riots in Albania. They're rioting over this. They're burning down the head of the Albania. They just burned down that guy's house. Who's the prime minister of the leader or something? The president? What is he? I don't know. - Yeah, they just burned down his house and they were like, we've had enough of this. So we're not going to watch the rest of it. We know what she's saying. We get it. They're barring out, rich people are just buying islands and we're doing it with care. We're doing it with so much care because there, here's what folks, this is what that means. They're getting out. If they can't get on a spaceship off the country, they're going to the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside Cezanne Island, Cezanne Island, the Albanian ex-military base in Ivanka, Trump and Jared Kushner want to turn into a luxury resort. The data centers, by the way, you dummies are not prisons for people that did the vaccine, you queuing on retards. They are data centers and they're going to, you're going to try to take your livelihood. The other thing is they're probably not building a luxury resort. They're going to build something that looks like a luxury resort and then liven it when there's a nuclear war. And that's what it is. They want you to root for them. They want you to be excited for them and happy for them because they made it out. Rich people are probably not going to be able to get off the planet before it inevitably emolates. But they are going to flee to the middle of the ocean if they can. Nevertheless, Cezanne has already been dubbed Trump Island by angry locals who have made their displeasure and reported a deal care. Below we take a closer look at the island with this 36 hundred nuclear bunkers, unexploded weapons, bomb shelters and miles of tunnels. So here's the reality. Everybody's preparing. Everybody's preparing from Spencer Pratt to Mark Demilio. Everybody's doing what they have to do. He's lifting, taking a little bit off the top, skimming from his daughter. And Jared and Ivanka have decided to buy a nuclear bunker in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea because they know something's coming. They don't only know it's coming. They're making it happen. That's the thing. They're not sitting in the dark. They know that all of this tension eventually boils over. The Henry Noak stuff, the affordability crisis in America, the food, the cost of oil in the next six months, things are going to skyrocket and make this an unlivable place financially. And your only way out, if you're in America, your only way out, you better hope your kid can shake their ass on a Chinese dancing app for money. Or if you're Spencer Pratt, you better grab the gas can. Good luck.
