514 - Netanyahu In New York, Nepo Babies, & “The View”
78m 24s
The transcript analyzes Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he delivers a defiant and resilient address amid a hostile crowd that has largely left the hall. He turns the situation into a powerful rhetorical moment by acknowledging the crowd’s departure and calling out those who have left, framing it as a moral reckoning. He positions his actions—especially regarding Iran’s nuclear program—as essential for global survival, arguing that inaction would have resulted in annihilation. This approach, rooted in survival and urgency, illustrates a key public speaking strategy: redirecting negativity into a narrative of necessity. The discussion extends beyond politics to critique the rise of AI in entertainment, exemplified by Sunny Haas licensing her books to AI firms to overcome Hollywood’s gatekeeping. While she claims the move promotes diverse storytelling, critics argue it displaces human creators and profits, especially from marginalized communities. The commentary also touches on cultural shifts, such as the rise of "NEPO babies" (children of celebrities or billionaires) in entertainment, highlighting how privilege and access shape success. Ultimately, the piece reflects on how power, technology, and privilege shape both global politics and cultural production, underscoring a growing tension between innovation and human agency. It concludes that while AI and new platforms offer access, they also risk commodifying human experience and culture—especially when driven by personal gain rather than shared humanity.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show the weekly podcast we've done here for 10 years. Whoa We thank everyone for listening of course and It's a it's a beautiful week because it's the week of the United Nations General Assembly at time when all of our Differences kind of melt away It feels and then everyone kind of gets together all the different countries Get together and they're all unique and they're all special in their own way and everybody Kind of comes together to discuss the events The events the world climate and war and the global economy And there's some controversy But we're like a family the world is a family and every family has a couple of nuts and When you're a big family like we are our planet It's a little messy out there and sometimes Things boil over and People get into squabbles and people get upset with each other But that doesn't mean we're not a family. We're a global community and There's room for everyone in this community and I'm sick of the people who are trying to divide us we have to bring us together and I commend Benjamin Netanyahu for coming and Giving a speech because even though people have been very mean to him and They said they're gonna arrest him. He shows up with a big motorcade and he I believe he threatened He said we have special forces everywhere so if you try anything we'll try something to You know, but I respect the fact that he comes and He gives a speech at the UN General Assembly even when people have been so down on him and They've been frankly pretty nasty To Benjamin Netanyahu, and I would like to Yeah, Netanyahu says yes, special forces ready if he's detained or arrested. I Like that. He's basically saying listen We're ready. That's where he's at. He goes we're ready if you if you pull something we're ready So here he is Now a lot of people walked out Before he delivered his speech and I don't love that But he's there to deliver a speech and I don't know what he was What reaction he was anticipating I imagine he he thought to himself. There's gonna people are gonna be angry at us I imagine that went through his head as he was coming in flying in on his jet What is it called the wings of Zion or the? The Lion of the sky or whatever. I don't know, but as he was landing He probably looked at somebody next to him and said hey, they're gonna be angry with us Yeah, the wings of Zion he goes they might be they might be rude to us But we're gonna show up and give this speech anyway And I respect that and I think the people in Gaza do I I think the people in Gaza respected actually I Think the people in Gaza respect now they may have their differences with him They're intense and rats are eating them and they've been starved and they're you know their family members have been vaporized in front of their eyes They have their differences for sure. We're not gonna gloss over that But I think they respected he came to New York City and He braved the elements and by the elements. I mean the protesters Had a unbinder Susan Sarandon These people there he said he stared them down He stared them down and I I think the people in Gaza Respect that I think they have to say You know we've had our differences with this man. He burned my mother alive, but That being said he showed up He he was not intimidated He showed up and he gave a speech now. Let's listen to a little bit of this speech because There's so much negativity about this man and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's Listen to what he's saying. So This is long-term friend of the show friend of the Kushners You remember Benjamin Netanyahu used to visit the Kusher house kick Jared to the basement and and stay in Jared's room Then Jared married the daughter of the now sitting president Jared is running around the world making deals not in an official government capacity But he's just the negotiator He's the ray Donovan fixer type if you will Running around the Middle East and he just bought an island with a nice outfitted subterranean underground nuclear blast Area with his lovely wife the daughter of our current president Donald Trump So it's a weird wacky family With lots of branches and here is Benjamin Netanyahu Talking at the United Nations General Assembly Okay, we're gonna take you straight to the United Nations General Assembly in New York because the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Why is everyone leaving This is tough to watch Why won't they at least hear his ration now for the genocide? Why He probably has a good reason Oh my god, everyone's getting out of there What's his opener? I wonder what his opener is after everyone's walked out Stop it for a minute. This is a great opportunity for anybody any performer To realize that you're not always going to perform You know in an environment that is hospitable to you that sometimes You're going to face a hostile crowd maybe their drunk maybe they've maybe the air conditioning in the room is broke like it The original room of the comedy store hasn't had air conditioning in three weeks And I don't know where the hell the owners are, but they should they should figure that out but anyway You will that you will be in inevitably situations That are hostile to you. So now you have Benjamin Netanyahu Getting up to deliver a speech and then how rude All these delegates are leaving and he's got a really now. He's got a really look down deep within himself and find Find the perform and just center for Benjamin focus on the ones that are there focus on the handful of people that are still there Countries where you personally install the leaders or have bribed or blackmailed them focus on them focusing on the countries that you've kind of Co-opted through Financial means military whatever focus on the handful of people left And let's see if he does it because you got to come out the gate with a good opener strong opener Address what happened address it move on these are the rules address what happened Quickly don't derail quickly address the fact that everybody left because they think you're Hitler and you just say Move on address it own it move on address it own it move on Redirect their attention You're the star of the show. Let's see if he can do that Benjamin Netanyahu with the United Nations General Assembly Question order in the hall, please Come on Please Thank you Mr. President Before I begin yes Just a quick announcement right If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall please do so now Thank you very much. Okay. You see what he did now stop it there He you see what he did He addressed the elephant in the room He called attention to it Okay He then took what could have been a loss and he made it into a win Right there If there are any other moral cowards that want to leave the whole do it now
Like he, so now what could have been a liability has become a strength. This is so important for anyone out there, whether you're a genocidal maniac or not, but if you're thinking about public speaking, how to control a room, this is such an important thing for you to learn. This is why schools not important anymore because all of the learning is free and it's all the time. That's why you don't need to go to college and take out a bunch of loans to take a public speaking course. You don't need any of that. You can just observe a master in his element brilliantly done. Now let's, can we see a little bit of the speech after that? Is there any, do we have any clip right after that? Okay, he's still got a little left here. Let's, oh no, it's not that it's just a few seconds. I want to see a little bit because that was a brilliant move by him. If there are any other moral cowards that want to leave this room, they can do so now and he gets a small applause again from the countries where they've personally installed the leaders, including our own, by the way, including the United States and so, and now he's going to give a speech and he's going to speak, I believe about his plans for the world. And let's go back to where everyone's leaving and let's take it from here. - Mr. President, before I begin, just a quick announcement. - That's right. - If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now. Thank you very much. - That's right. (audience applauds) - Still a tough room. - Thank you, gentlemen. - Still a tough room, still a tough room. - 14 years ago. - That's right. - I stood on the podium and I drew a red line. - That's right. - I vowed to prevent Iran's murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs. - So this is another great way to everyone's looking him going, you're a murderous dictator. You may be running a murderous dictatorship. What he has done, watch how he's doing it. Smart, he goes 14 years ago. He's not starting in the present. The present's a real problem for him. The Hered's article just came out that he should have done more to stop the attack. His own people are in revolt. You know, people do not like him. He has damaged the US Israel relationship to a point where it's like in smithereens on the floor. He's lost the entire world, certainly the Western world. And so he's context here is key. So he goes 14 years ago, like let's take a time machine. Back 14 years ago to when things were good. 14 years ago, I stood up here and I said, I ran, cannot get a nuclear weapon. That's what we're talking about today. I like, it's called framing the issue. We're gonna talk about job interviews later because young kids keep going on job interviews and not getting them because they don't know how to take control. And they're in there with like ice coffees being like, you know, talking about whatever and no one cares. You know, trying to like, you know, trying to talk about with deeply fulfills them on a spiritual level and their employers like, Hey, man, what? Benjamin Netanyahu is here facing a very hostile crowd. By the way, it's not, is it harder to be in Gaza now or is it harder to be giving that speech? Think about it. Think about how difficult it is to be standing in front of that room right now. And the fact that this man is doing it. And yes, he's got clean clothes and water and private jets and private security and lots of money and tons of people that are funding him and whatever and control of our country and our president, whatever who cares. Sure, I guess, but no one's asking those people in Gaza to give a speech, huh? No one's asking them to give a speech. They just have to sit there and die. Take it away. Benjamin Netanyahu. Nuclear weapons aimed at destroying Israel. Nuclear weapons that could threaten the entire world. That's exactly what we did. Now let me say something that might surprise you. Devastating Iran's nuclear facilities. It's not enough. It was hard. It was hard. It was very hard to do. Right. But for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I've ever had to make as prime minister. I believe you. Because if we hadn't done it, we'd all be dead. Great. Now you want to hear? Stop it for a second. This is a great, this is also a great lesson in public speaking. If you have done a controversial thing, okay? Whether it's an experimental vaccine for novel coronavirus, okay? Or it's sex change operations for young people who are questioning their gender or an incredibly controversial, highly illegal war that you are losing with Iran. You will always make the argument that if you hadn't done it, everyone would be dead. It's the best argument to make. It is like the top argument. If we don't do this, the trans kids will kill themselves. If no, if everyone doesn't get all the vaccine, we're dead without that, okay? If I didn't decimate Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon, we'd all be dead. We'd all be dead. This is the tried and true methodology of how to stand by a controversial decision that was clearly the wrong decision. The entire world is falling apart. The price of commodities is skyrocketing. Diplomatic relationships are fracturing. Our bases are being blown off the face of the earth where incapable of defending longstanding alliances. It's remaking the Middle East. It's remaking our relationships with oil rich golf states that up until now we're modernizing and becoming more open and their societies were becoming more tolerant. And a lot of that was due to the fact that they were modernizing economically and in many other ways. But all of that now has stopped. It has frozen and the world order that we lived in is disintegrating in front of our eyes. So when you've made a decision like that and those are the results, you just have to go out and go listen, we'd all be dead. Had I not done that? We'd be dead. There'd be no speech. I'd be up here as a skeleton. Let's continue. I like the cut of his jib, Benjamin Netanyahu. - It defending itself. Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. In fact, I want you to know that many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran's nukes. It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy, but that's exactly what it is. - Classic narcissists. I did it for you. - We were faced with a threat of annihilation. - Yes. - On June 5th, 1967. - I'm gonna start talking to you. - Israel was surrounded by enemies who openly swore to destroy us. All right, pauses. I'm gonna start speaking like this. I'm under the threat of annihilation. What a powerful way to look at the world. I am under the threat of annihilation. And everything I do is to prevent being annihilated, no matter how fucked up it seems on its face. No matter what chaos I unleash, it is because I am constantly dealing with the threat of annihilation and you wouldn't understand. In fact, you are also dealing with the threat of annihilation. You're too stupid to see it. I have to get rid of the enemies for all of us. These enemies are gonna annihilate everybody. I gotta get rid of them for everybody. All right, get 'em outta here. Benjamin Netanyahu, you should watch the whole speech, by the way. How long is it? - 40 minutes. - 40 minutes of Benjamin Netanyahu, but I think we've heard most of the tenor of it, which is, hey, if I didn't do this, we'd all be dead. So, hey, it's, uh, I just, uh, I just hope that, um, you know, I just hope that people can open their heart to this man. That's all. That's my only thought. I think it would be really good.
To open, you have to open your heart to this man because he is, he is a beautiful soul. You know, Morgan and Morgan is America's largest personal injury law firm.

Sunny Hauston, who's becoming my favorite person on the view because she's really unhinged and you know, you know, the view needs a few of these women to make it watchable, a few people who are genuinely unhinged and you don't quite know what they're going to do ever. And that's what this is. And I only watched clips of it. But the only reason that the view now is like, it used to be Rosie O'Donnell was fun. She's like, what happened to building seven and all that? And she, by the way, yeah, what did happen? She used to stay, say stuff like that and Barbara Walters would stare in like shock and horror. And that's why that show was fun, you know, like Rosie O'Donnell be like, Barbara Walters would say something like, oh, coming up next, we've got Mary Steinberg and then Rosie O'Donnell would go, oh, Bob, it's the first time in history that steel columns were melted by jet fuel. And Barbara would just kind of like roll her eyes and be like, oh, Rosie, like, and that made it watchable. Here is Sunny Hauston explaining why she has chosen to give her likeness to an AI company. She has licensed herself to AI because she cannot get anything made in Hollywood. Now, by the way, no one can actually, most people can't, I talked to them all the time. Hollywood's making roughly 50% less stuff than they did when they were doing stuff. And it's because it was a guy, nice kid named Adam Conover, who had a show called Adam Ruins, everything on true TV. He convinced all of these people that they should go on strike because they weren't making enough money. He said, we've got the leverage. We're going to go in and we're going to show these executives who we are and at that time, this was like kind of towards the end of the pandemic. There were a lot of shows in production and a lot of things are being met. Yes, people were unhappy, they were working long hours or whatever the case may be. Now they're not working at all. But Adam Conover and not only him, but he was the front and center guy of this, telling everyone in Hollywood like, and they were writing on shows that nobody was really watching. He goes, we got to really get out there and say, you're going to pay us and we're going to get residuals. And we want to know who's watching what and we want our power as writers. Now, by the way, all power to you, I'm not at studio exact. I just from the outside was going, this will not work the way they think it's going to work. They didn't have a dog in a fight, truly. I mean, I want everyone to get paid. I want everyone to be happy. I'm not, you know, but I knew this will never work the way they think it's going to work. It just isn't what, first of all, they all started protesting outside of these studio lots. The studio people started cutting down the trees so they would get sunburned. She had all of these writers out there getting sunburned and then the screen actors go, when on strike, I'm in the screen actors, go, so I was technically on strike, which whatever. I mean, I'm sitting here podcast, we're not part of the strike. But whatever. And again, I'm not like saying anything good about David Zazlov. I'm just saying, I could see this from outside going, this is not going to work. They're not going to show they, they, they, they, they hammered out this very tenuous agreement. And then they just went, we're not even going to make anything anymore. We're going to make a few things and we're going to deal with a small group of people. And we are going to, and they had invested heavily in during the pandemic. All of these studios, streamers and whatnot had invested heavily in AI programs. And one of the big things with the writers strike was like, we will not be replaced by AI. And the studios were like, oh, yeah, we weren't even planning on replacing you. But of course they were. But the writers just didn't have the leverage they thought they had. So the studio is hammered out this kind of, you know, agreement. Now most people privately will tell you the strike was a mistake. Most writers in the town and actors and people that make a living will tell you privately will go, this was a mistake. Does it mean that the studios are good people or, you know, the executives are like, you know, their hearts are full of, you know, their beacons of truth and light and justice. It means that you didn't have the leverage you thought you did. And in fact, the situation for them at this point is worse now than it was. So Sunny Haas did his very upset because she writes romance novels. But get up the titles of some of Sunny Haas, she writes romance novels. And they're kind of like drug store slop. Summer in the bluffs, summer on the bluffs, set in oak bluffs on March is vineyard. The first novel follows a wealthy woman hosting her three God daughters for life changing summer. Summer on sag harbor, summer on highland beach. So she's writing drug store slop novels and hosting the view. Now by the way, not hating on, on that at all, get your money, write that slop. She is upset that they have not made summer on the bluffs into a film. She is really upset about this. So Sunny Haas did who I imagine was all for the writer strike and is all for every cause that elevates the marginalized and everything. And by the way, maybe I'm talking out of turn. Maybe she was big with the exactly I can't imagine that. She was probably very supportive of the WGA strike. This would be my guess, which was all about AI. So Sunny Haas did is now coming on the view to explain to everyone why she has personally. She personally is selling all of her content to an AI company so that AI can make it. And because she wants people of color to get more opportunities, not actual people of color, but AI people of color. I want you to listen to Sunny Haas in here. It's very interesting. And this is why identity politics is like super important for the people that run everything. Because this explanation that she gives is so insane and brilliant. It's so insane and brilliant. I can't not like her. This is the thing about a lot of these pictures. The same way I felt about, I feel about all these people, you know, whether it's a Meghan Markle or whether it's the bitch from Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, or even Cash Patel. I find him likable, even though he is a goon and a goofball and dishonest, there is something likable about how, how absolutely, like incapable he is of doing anything right. It's like a child you have that can't do anything.
anything right, you, you, you want to hit them and you want to ground them, but there's some like, like ability they have because they're such a buffoon. So here's Sonny Hauston trying to tell everyone on the panel why she sold everything. Here she is. Take it away. I recently partnered with a company called Fountain Zero who had an AI movie released at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's the first time that that was done. And one of the reasons I partnered with her. So now stop it for a minute and then we're going to play the whole thing. You can see Joy Behar getting mad. Joy Behar is 112 years old. Joy Behar is a very old stand-up comedian from New York who's been on the view forever. And you can see Joy Behar is getting really angry that Sonny Hauston is saying, going, doing AI propaganda on the view. So you can see the muscles in Joy Behar's face start to tighten up. Like Joy Behar is like, hey, what the fuck? What are you doing? And now we're going to watch this when I want you to run it back because we're going to watch the whole thing. But just also as you're listening to this, you're going to start to hear Joy Behar. And for a lot of the people that listen and aren't watching, you're going to hear Joy Behar becoming increasingly angry at Sonny Hauston. Here you go. Recently partnered with a company called Fountain Zero who had an AI movie released at the Tribeca Film Festival. And one of the reasons I partnered with this company is because I've written a trilogy. And for six years, I've tried to get my films or my stories made into series and films. And the gatekeeping in Hollywood around black and brown creative content is insane. I cannot get New York Times best-selling books onto the screen to tell diverse stories to diverse communities. So what does that have to do with AI? With AI that cuts out the gatekeeping. You get to make your film, you get to have a director. No, they're generated. I've licensed my image. And so I may appear where it's wild, but now I may appear. But in all seriousness, it's a way to go then to a streamer and say, here's the product. Will you license it? Will you show it? It's a way I think to get black and brown stories told. There are a lot of things I don't get. Those stories are not being told. But if those people are in fact robots, how does that help them? They're not robots. They're black, community. Because I would say I would because the real people are not working. Because the stories are being told, Joy, because the real people are not getting jobs in Hollywood. The train has left the station. And this is something that's here. It's not going away. And I think that they're going to be enormous benefits. Did you see all any ethical issues in signing that? I thought about it a lot. She needs the project. Well, I don't need the project. I think that diverse stories need to be told. I get that. Stop this. Okay. You hear exactly the rationale that has been used for every person who drapes themselves in their identity all the time. It is primarily for the purposes of their own advancement. And by their own, I mean them, not other people, not even their communities. This woman is now saying black and brown stories need to be told even if it's with generative AI. So those jobs don't go to black and brown actors. They will go to AI. And I will make all of the money. She doesn't care about black and brown stories being told. She cares about her stories being told. It is nothing to do with diverse stories and diverse audiences. How many black and brown people are reading summer on the bluffs or whatever the fuck this bitch is even writing, but it is a blatant. And by the way, sure, like you know, like at the end of the day, if if she would just say that, if she just said the trains left the station to say, "I think he's not going anywhere. I'm getting on board." People could either love it or hate it, but she was like, "It's about the stories being told." No, no, no, no. It's about her story being told and getting money for it and and damn everyone else who wants to work. So she's just great. We like her. We're in support of her because we're excited to see over the next few months or years. What else she will justify with this? Now that we have this framework, what else can we justify with this framework that like, "Hey, I've tried to make a bunch of best sellers in the movies and nobody would do it." So now we're using AI. Paletteers doing it. Paletteers doing it. You know why joy? Because diverse stories need to get told and Peter Teel's doing it. So how about that? You don't like it? Fuck Elon Musk is doing it now. Elon Musk is doing it. You know why? Because diverse stories say, "Hey, Sam Altman's doing it." You know why? Because diverse stories need to get told. So it doesn't yet. What is found zero, by the way? These are AI because this is what they all they want is AI slop. One of the things that, you know, whether I disagree with my colleagues on some other political things and some of us do have disagreements and some of us are more aligned than you would think. But one thing that I really do respect about a lot of the people that I may have certain disagreements with is that we all want human art to be human and that we don't want to participate in this AI slop factory because it completely drains the humanity from what's going on. And I do respect that about people. But I also, at the same time, do respect multi-millionaire sunny Austin who needs to make a movie and her need to have a movie made is bigger than humanity's need to thrive and continue to exist. So it's hard because I say to myself, I go, "Should humanity remain the paramount creative force on earth?" I don't know. Because sunny Austin, multi-millionaire sunny Austin who's on television, every single day who has, by her own admission, many best-selling books, but they're not movies. No one's made a movie about summer on the bluffs. Now get up summer on the bluffs and I want to know more about summer on the bluffs because she's saying this is so important that black and brown children need to hear summer on the bluffs. Okay. Amelia, I'm a vote-tanner. A wealthy retiree mourning her late husband decides to move to the south of France. So automatically, it's automatically, if I'm a kid in the Chicago public school system, I'm like, give me this book. Nothing will help the economic conditions of minorities in this country more than this book. She invites her three God daughters to her oak bluffs beach house, Chateau Lavo, for one final summer get together. Emma announces that by Labor Day, she will hand the deed to the price house over to only one of them. Each woman desperately wants to home, but each, each hides a major personal secret that she fears will ruin her chances at approval and unaware that Emma is keeping secrets of her own. So that's summer on the bluffs. And listen, I think it's, there are a lot of communities in America that should be better funded. The police should have better training. The school should get more money. People should get healthcare. People should have jobs. We should focus our money on the Bronx. We should focus our money on East St. Louis and all of these places and Detroit and Appalachia and whatever it's not necessarily about race, although it's a lot of the black communities have been decimated. And we shouldn't be focusing our money on the Ukraine and Israel. But I also think in lieu of that, if we don't do that, if we just keep sending our money abroad and giving it to Sam Altman, I do think summer on the bluffs should be a movie because if nothing else, those kids who live in de-industrialized crime-ridden hellscapes who don't have the resources to succeed in life can then at least go home and watch summer on the bluffs. And I guess it will inspire them
'cause they go maybe one day, I'll be able to write AI slot like summer on the bluffs. Every summer Esperanza quote Perry Soto, a beautiful and talented Afro Latina lawyer escapes the field, the, the fetid heat of New York City for the gorgeous weather and cool water and stunning views of oak bluffs, sharing a cottage on the beach owned by Emma with her late husband and two sisters, Perry is looking forward to trading meetings and clients for days of the Langer and fun. I mean, yeah, this should be AI. This should be AI slot.

A lot of these young tech guys are saying that women do not want to date them once they reveal that they are designing like weapon systems for Palantir or something like that. This was an article that just came out when no one wants to date the tech bros once seniors nerdy but harmless innovators men and tech are now widely regarded as red piled Elon Musk wannabes. It's made getting laid a whole lot harder. Engaged in a flirtatious conversation at a barn Manhattan 23 year old Gary stood with a Guinness in hand as he explained to a woman why he took an engineering job at Palantir. The data analytics company founded by Alex Carp and Peter Teal ranking a $250,000 salary would allow him to help pay off his parents mounting medical bills he explained Gary wasn't met with sympathy. Medical that the woman told him was quote not an excuse to work somewhere like that. She was referring of course to Palantir's controversial work with governments including the US and Israel which used the company surveillance tools for law enforcement and military operations. Since joining that tech company in 2025, Gary has noticed that naming his employer prompts brutal reactions from perspective women. One woman he says called him the devil. Another asked how he lives with himself. Sometimes people just straight up stop talking to me. He says recently Gary's buddies requested he not mentioned Palantir on the nights out together. So as to not tank the whole group's chances. I get nervous now. I don't bring it up says Gary. That's hilarious. Gary is resorted to singing works in AI. Even that gets some pretty bad responses. Sometimes his hinge profile doesn't mention his employer. Gary. I will suck your dick. Gary. Gary. I'm telling you right now I will suck your cock. Come to Los Angeles. I'm very good at it. I will blow you. It may not be what you want. I could throw on my mega McCain wig. But this is what you get now. And I'll take you to the mothership and you can meet Joe Rogan. You've made your choice, sir. You've made your choice. You can meet Bert Kreischer at the comedy store. That's your life now. No more hot New York City pussy for you, Gary. Come here and I will throw on my Barry Weiss wig and I will suck on your balls. And that is what you get for working for Palantir. It's not over. It's just different. Hey Gary and I will eat your ass. Gary. I will eat it like an ice cream sundae. Now you might be saying yourself, oh my God, what is happen? And you can bring me home to your family. You can bring me home to your family. And I will dress like a woman as I have on this show many times. And I will show up like a woman to your house. And when your parents ask you if your gay say no, but this is all I have now. I work for fucking Palantir. And we'll live in Austin, Gary. And it'll be 115 degrees. And your balls will always have a certain funk to them that I find appealing, but many others don't. And Gary, it will be a different life. We can go swim in the hot, disgusting lake. That's always about 96 degrees. And I will go with you to your parents house, wherever the hell they happen to live. And I will sit there in full drag while I compliment your mother's casserole. And you will say, I make 250 grand a year so I can pay for your medical debt. But now this is who I'm fucking. This is the only person who will put my cock in his mouth. Her mouth. I will sir. I'll have food in my mouth. I'll go, her mouth, Gary. Her mouth. So Gary, my DMs are open. You can email me. I'm represented by three arts of the creative arts agency, CAA, you can email them, email my agents, my manager, you can email my business manager. You can hit me up on any social media site. I do have a cat. But even if you're allergic to the cat, it's okay. We will lock it in another room while I have sex with you dressed as Barry Weiss. Yes, or yes, Gary. Gary, it's all for you now. It's all coming true. Could you get a heart on, Gary? I'm dressed like Barry Weiss. We play traditional Israeli techno in the house on dancing. And then after we both come, we read Peter Till Satan lecture word for word in the house. Gary, doesn't it sound nice? Gary doesn't it sound nice. It's not what you thought, but life never is Gary. Gary life never is. Imagine introducing me to your family with a nice wig and my nice sharp little Barry Weiss classes. I'll wear my sexy little Barry glasses for you. Gary, Gary, it's just different. I hope someone sends this to him and I hope he considers it. I hope you consider it. Don't go fucking fag any whining to fucking what is this wired or some fucking don't go what is this wired? Exactly. Stop whining to wire. Did a couple of liberal bitches don't like your Palantir cock. I'll put it right in my mouth and I'll rub it all over my face, Gary. Send this to your parents. Send this video to your parents. There's nothing you could say get now. If Gary is good looking and I imagine he's not great, but it doesn't matter, Gary. I don't care what you do. I don't care if you're putting the targets on the baby's heads in Gaza while Palantir blows them up. It doesn't matter to me. I separate the art from the artist, Gary. Okay. So that's how we solve that problem. Solved it. Moving on. Moving on. What else did I send you? I sent you something as I was heading over. I was, oh yeah, this netbo stuff. I want to get into this here and Gary. All of that is true.
all of those things are true when I'm I'm always ready for you Gary this is my girlfriend hello what happened we didn't know you're gay I'm not gay I just work for Palantir and this podcasters you'll be one that'll suck my dick and he does it dress like Barry Wise and we can have children together we'll get a surrogate we will get a surrogate like Barry did I think oh no Barry's wife might have the kids whatever anyway Gary DMs are open anyway so we this is an article from the Wall Street Journal you heard of this we've reached peak NEPO baby every new artist is hit with the label these days so this is the Wall Street Journal now by the way the Wall Street Journal every now and then does something insane usually the Wall Street Journal is is sort of a somewhat predictable their editorial page is kind of boring and but then every now and then they will run an article like you know do you need a dining room table lunch is becoming a real problem you know because they're their game here is to bet you have to stop complaining about your life this is kind of what the Wall Street Journal kind of this is where they they're basically like we're not gonna bother you with the woke stuff that's what they say we're not gonna bother you with the land of knowledge and shit but you're also gonna have to stop complaining about the cost of lunch or the fact that you live in a shed we don't want to hear it we don't want to hear it we're not gonna bother you with the D E I shit but if you are living in a camper we don't want to hear this we don't want to hear it we don't want to hear it artists is hit so now basically the Wall Street Journal this article which I read by Ali Jones is that it's about the fact that everybody now seems to be sort of a NEPO baby in some way they're either the direct child of an actor or actress and I'll put them in my movie till we're doing them we're raising money right now for a film so if you're a NEPO baby don't think that I won't put you in the film either I'm not holding the NEPO thing against you because I believe by the way that some of them are very talented I believe that I don't care that their parents are actors are actresses if you are talented and if you have sex with me on set and don't accuse me of raping you I will put you in the movie Gary still a lefty was riding high the country folk singers spent the summer going viral on tiktok for her breakout single Boston a pair down love song that is currently number two on the billboard hot 100 then internet sleuths discovered that lefty was short for left Kofsky and the overnight success was the daughter of a billionaire lefty's father group on co-founder Eric left Kofsky is not a music industry executive but soon this singer was labeled a NEPO baby along with many other new stars who have undeniable privilege but tenuous connection to the entertainment world okay so here's what the Wall Street Journal is saying just because she's a billionaire doesn't mean she's a NEPO baby because her dad is a billionaire it's not like her dad's Goldie Hawners I mean her dad's like her mom's not Goldie Hawner dad's not Kurt Russell whatever you know now okay this discourse kind of it boars me anyway because truly like rich people will always have an advantage billionaire and I will I'm just gonna tell the Wall Street Journalist they may be unaware of this it might actually more be more advantageous if your dad's a tech billionaire than an actor or actress you might actually get further I know this might shock the Wall Street Journal to their core you may get further in entertainment if your dad is a AI billionaire tech billionaire then if your dad was on House of Cards or something so you see that now I I'm also it boars me to constantly shake my fist at people that have a better more advantages in life than I do I find that boring I hate the mentality of a victim that being said it is hard to ignore how many of these people do seem to be out there how many of these kids have famous moms and dads and how many of these children's moms and dads are billionaires she her her name is long so I understand why she cut it short it's Jewish that might be why she cut it short to that's happened in Hollywood and she's doing country music so she might feel like and I don't know by the way I don't know why she's doing country music whatever but everything for the taking now so she doesn't so I'm saying there's other reasons that she might have changed your name other than the fact that she didn't want people to find out who her dad is but obviously people were going to find out and did find out and I don't think that this makes her untounded I don't find her that great and don't play her music because she'll copyright strike me and then God only knows her father will really strike me with a drone so the last thing we need to do right now is fucking anger these fucks okay I don't find her to be that amazing I think she's fine and I don't attack the woman because all she gets is hate all the time but it to me it's it doesn't I hear the music it doesn't move me but we're also living in a time now where mediocrity is the enduring thing and you will and everything's for the taking like you can put on a cowboy hat and be a country music star you nothing matters you can be a rapper from a rich family and a prep school kid like everything is for the taking you invent the identity you want to be and then people will just gravitate towards it and these people are going to make so much money it's unfathomable and that will drive everyone nuts it will it I'm not at one of these big simulation guys but the fact that someone named Stella lefty we're discussing this even you know and she's a country but is her did she steal the song from Noah Cajot like it does feel like we're in some type of matrix it does feel like we're in some type of simulation you're you're these people you're just going to watch them make so much money it's going to blow you're it's going to blow your mind how much money these people make they're going to make gazillions of dollars they're going to invent new denominations of money for how much money these people make because everything now is about the machine it's the machine it's not the raw talent it's the machine behind the raw talent so I know that the Wall Street Journal saying well her dad's just the billionaire he he wasn't like the drummer in Metallica sure yeah sure but you know that might also have advantages Wall Street Journal and by the way I'm a NEPO baby in the sense that my mother was a schizophrenic and I'm on YouTube that's kind of a NEPO baby if you think about it my mother was a fucking skit so and died in a public mental institution now I'm here doing it for living I have a very nice car but so I get it I understand this me and Stella were the same you can't get mad at this stuff but you can notice it you can notice how much of culture is curated by machines that are operating all well-paid well-organized campaigns to put something out there until you accept that it is the next thing there's that's always happened to a degree but now it's incredibly personal because you can see it happen and you can feel it whereas you know in the the old days of traditional media there were layers between that and you now you can feel it you can see it happen you know I mean and I I have no on a train back the bar bar bar bar bar bar bar fine I'm not trying to begrudge anyone their success is it exit do like the yellow langley thing she's good she's really good that song's good but it's enough now it's enough now it's crazy that that's the biggest song ever that's crazy but it's what happened when everyone in this country was lectured for about four years that they were were they had privilege and a lot of people didn't and some did but a lot of these white people you were telling were privileged and evil they ended up they they left the cultural spaces where that was happening and they went to a cultural space where that wasn't happening and everyone became a fan of country music and now guys I know who grew up in New Jersey or like you go to country music shows because they feel like they're not being moralized to and they're not being lectured or whatever but now I think we're at the the point now where that's going to receive a little bit and then you're going to start to see that that peaked chosen taxes fun song a little bit of an earworm you know Jason Texas I can tell by the way he did it yeah it's good it's good
It's good, but this is what happens with culture of peaks. And I think we're at the peak of that. We're at the peak of people just, you know, putting on cowboy hats and, you know, just kind of stealing someone else's culture just because it makes them feel more comfortable momentarily. I'm not saying you can't be a fan of country music. I love a lot of country music, whatever. So I think there's still a lefty here is popping the bubble a little bit on that. The people are going, wait, what? And I'm not saying you should hate this woman. She wants to be a singer and she's singing, okay? But culture will is going to move on from this and it's going to move on to the, when you hear Sunny Haas and go into train is left to station, she's not wrong when she says that about AI and about all of these things. The train is left to station and this is left to station and that's going blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But there is going to be a time of people are going to have to actually make choices about what you consume and if you're going to, if you value humanity and you value watching human beings and listening to human beings, there will be a time when you're going to have to choose to not see the AI movie. There's going to have to be a time and you go, yeah, I don't care. I'm not going to see it or I'm not going to watch the AI show. You know, and there will be a, there will be a, and now there's going to be people that don't make that decision, especially younger people who didn't grow up with human movies and don't give a shit. And they go, hey, man, I don't even fuck. I didn't grow up at the mighty docks and when Harry met Sally and the bird cage and fucking Casino, I didn't grow up with any of that. So what do I care? I'm just going to watch AI Slop. I'm going to watch Summer on the Bluffs because Sunny Haas didn't decide because she needed a fucking movie made. And listen, God bless Stella lefty or whoever, whoever's out there. You know, it's very hard now to be a successful person if your parents are totally fucked. It's very difficult, okay? It is really hard. So these kids do have a leg up. If your father is a billionaire, it's probably beneficial. It doesn't mean you have no talent. It does mean that your talent is viewed differently. It's always going to be viewed differently. Sorry. I know a lot of rich kids who want to pretend to be musicians and comedians and all this stuff. And that's okay. You're allowed to do that. It's a choose your own adventure here, okay? But you also just got to have the awareness, the several awareness to know that people may see it a little differently. That's all. You just got to own it. You just got to do it. Why are all these people, the only people that seem to be getting anything? That's a fair question. I think a lot of it is that they grow up with these executives and casting directors and people like that and they're in the world already and they know the customs and they know how to do things and maybe they'll shut their mouth about some behavior that they go. These people know how to keep their mouth shut. Maybe that's part of it. You know, whereas I'll go on a movie and then trash it because it was bad because my job is to tell people shit on this fucking program, a lot of those people will not. And they might be a better investment investment than me. Like if Stella left, he was in Joker too, she wouldn't have said a goddamn thing about it. She would have said, I loved it. It was such a joy to work with God, God, the other one and Joaquin and you know, she would have done it because she understands she understands the assignment. I'm not even saying that's necessarily bad. I'm just saying, perhaps that is a reason you see a lot of these nipple babies get shit is because the powers that be the powers that be the ones that are making large investments are trying to manage risk and they go, these kids know how to keep their mouth shut.

Upwork.com. Thank you. I started taking this. I feel so sharp and energetic, I drink, I made health every single day and because all of the supplements are in one drink at a low price, I feel better but also financially like I've really done something and I'm excited and my wife and children when I come home are happy to see me because before, you know, I'm a little bit of an attitude and I would kind of, I would drink a lot and I'd hit them. I would hit them, I'd hit my wife and children, I would hit them. At hard but not soft either, you know? Like no one's going to the hospital but they could. But now that I drink this supplement every single day, it's daddy's home, it's that energy because I come home because it used to be like sometimes I would, my son would say, "Daddy, I want to play soccer." And I would say, "I've got to find my supplements." And they knew I was about to hulk out and go nuts because I didn't have my fucking supplements and it became really difficult for my family. My wife, as Marelda, and my three sons, Muhammad, Muhammad, another son named Muhammad, and Afzal, Afzal, rolls with a bunch more than the two Muhammad's, but so to me, it's really about kind of a real beautiful halal thing for my personal Muslim family to have this supplemental drink every day from David Beckham. So thank him and his family, but it is actually good and all serious, it's great. Thank you. Let's talk for a minute about job interviews before I get out of here because I know a lot of an explosive debate over iced coffee highlights, how tricky it can be to navigate interview etiquette. I'm telling you this right now, folks, the job market is brutal, it's not great and you're going to have to get and you're not all going to have fucking daddy group on. So you're going to have to figure it out. This is an article where was this from Washington Post, yeah, the Washington Post now is saying that what you do and don't do on an interview is different than it used to be. Things you're evolving, they're shifting, they're changing. When I was a fresh college graduate, interviewing for my full-time job, I thought about my mother's interviews, do's and don'ts, don't wear anything that could reveal tattoos. Don't start with asking questions about salary and always she stressed this above all else. Maleficial. Thank you. No, the next day. In the years since I entered the job market, interview etiquette norms have changed dramatically. While each sector, field and company may have its own rituals, form a known nose like tattoos and dyed hair, often are in deal breakers and many interviews take place over zoom, which introduces a whole new slate of do's and don'ts, but not everyone agrees on which rules to keep and which to toss out. In a video posted on TikTok last week, recruiter, Caitlin, whenanian introduced a new one, don't carry nice coffee into an interview, walking in the shake hands while juggling a drink can make a big moment seem just like another stop on your list of errands for the day. The comment section under the original video exploded. One recruiter agreed that bringing in a nice coffee to a meeting can be distracting one poster ass. Are you expecting my whole day to revolve around a 30 minute meeting? Satires and skits have spoofed both Gen Z job seekers and corporate overlords. Whenanian.
Damien has since posted a followup video saying she wasn't trying to stoke the flames for the sake of likes and repose When you really want a job or for you need to know certain ways of going about the process that helps you build confidence When you know what to expect going in the door the video and the ensuing debate have exposed a greater challenge How do you navigate ever changing interview etiquette when the job hunt can already be confusing discouraging and exhausting? Here you have two problems. Can I look I'm gonna tell you right now the two problems, okay? And some of you will agree with me and some will disagree with me and it won't change the fact that I'm right Gen Z has a very good quality That has very bad components Wow Settle in Gen Z is very good quality is this from what I can understand and From the people that I've spoken to and the things I've read about it They want to have a fulfilling Life where they are not a slave to their job and that their job is not the only thing That that they dedicate their time to they want to build a life that includes their career, but is not All about their career. This is from the people that interact In the Gen Z job market and so that you'll have conversations with Gen Z people where they talk about time off and Night's off and are they really free and can you text them at night? I know they're gonna have to be on the slack group chat. How much work do they want to do? They're setting the other thing. Okay, so by the way, I Think that's overall a good quality. It's a European quality. It's seeing Their millennial brethren get ground into paste by corporate America and don't have much to show for it many of them don't own homes Relationship pictures may be you know, maybe they're not have a children are getting married or whatever They're living in very expensive cities in Inarrangements with roommates well into their thirties and even older and their Gen Z peers look at that and go They dedicated everything To their careers and their careers became their lives and their lives They thought like they were gonna meet the guy or the girl working at vice or whatever You know working somewhere and some people did but some people didn't So that is the Gen Z instinct to go I don't want to trade Here are the bad components of that because every good has a bad Every positive thing has a bad working it paleteer you make 250,000 you could pay your parents medical dead off but You are designing machinery of death to kill innocent people and I'm going to have sex with you dressed as Barry wise That's what it is Here are the bad components of Gen Z's overarching thing which again, I think it's good. I think that's a positive thing some of the negative components of that is that You're trying To reverse engineer Something Without the knowledge That you would need to determine what those appropriate boundaries are Meaning you get out of college you go into the workforce and you go I'm 22 years old and I demand a perfectly balanced life That's never gonna happen It's never gonna happen you have to fight for that And I don't mean you have to fight like in a crazy sense where you are You know it becomes the struggle of your entire existence, but I mean like you have to determine what that looks like And what sacrifices you are willing to make for that you can only learn those things through experience And I'm not telling you to become a slave to some nameless faces corporation But it is very hard to 20 years old or 22 years old to go. I want every sector of my life To be hot and great and fulfilling and thrilling I want a great social life and a great romantic life and a great income and a great relationship with my family And I want to live in a place that I like and I want to have free time to pursue hobbies and side quests that is something That is very unreasonable and I think by the way, I think the the framework of that is comes from a good place of going I don't want to throw my whole life away for this job but the practical application of that Is something that you cannot demand immediately you have to then Find that balance through asserting your own boundaries as you go through life You're not going to get that immediately you might work for year to job and go that was too much for me I'm not built for that You might decide the city you're living in is too expensive. You got to really love that you might decide that you know What you actually see you're more of a country person? You don't want to live in a city at all. There isn't a one-size-fits-all and you need to You need to learn that as you go. I don't think it's a bad thing to want a balanced life But it's very hard at 20 years old To go to a Corporation and go to walk it with a nice coffee and go listen when's my when's my vacation? When do I get it? What so hot so wait? Will you text me at night? I don't want to ever return a text at night about a job related issue I don't know if that's realistic You know do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah It just is what it is folks Like you know People have to just say to themselves Something here we go the interview has always been a place to assess fit both for the applicant and for the company said Sarah McCord a former career communist and founder and CEO of Sarah McCord communication if there's an immediate visceral reaction on either end the company Doesn't want a candidate who brings a nice latte a candidate doesn't want somewhere where the company cares That's actually specifically exactly how the interview is supposed to work So what this bitch is saying is walk in with a latte And if they don't want your latte you don't want them That might be the great latte challenge you walk in and you put the latte down and then look at Here's what I would do if I'm in a candidate Ask me right now Why I think I'm a good fit for the job Thanks for coming in. Why do you think you're a good fit for the job? I'm not Ultimate power move Make them want you more Take a sip out a lot tango. I'm not If you think I'm one of these drones. It's gonna sit there and fucking lose my identity In your capitalist machine you're out of your fucking mind my father owns group on you faggot My father owns group on and I'm a country girl And then put your hat on with your latte and go and I'm a country girl And going with a guitar and go I want to sing in my interview I want to sing my father owns group on Hey, I was gonna put you in a cage Peter teals my father and open your eyes and they'll be all black and go Peter teals my father And then you'll get the job bye [BLANK_AUDIO]
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a speech at the UN General Assembly despite a hostile crowd, showing resilience and defiance in the face of criticism and protests.
He strategically addresses the crowd’s departure by calling out "moral cowards," turning a potential liability into a powerful moment of focus and unity.
Netanyahu frames his actions—particularly his handling of Iran’s nuclear program—as defensive and life-saving, arguing that without intervention, everyone would have died.
His speech emphasizes the constant threat of annihilation, using a narrative of survival to justify controversial decisions and justify Israel’s defensive stance.
The discussion highlights a broader public speaking lesson
The segment critiques the growing use of AI in entertainment, using Sunny Haas’s decision to license her books to AI companies as a case study in corporate gatekeeping and identity politics.
Critics argue that AI-driven content bypasses human labor, particularly for marginalized communities, despite claims of diversity and inclusion.
The underlying message is that power, privilege, and access to platforms shape cultural production, and even well-intentioned moves can serve self-interest over genuine equity.
Summary:
The transcript analyzes Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he delivers a defiant and resilient address amid a hostile crowd that has largely left the hall. He turns the situation into a powerful rhetorical moment by acknowledging the crowd’s departure and calling out those who have left, framing it as a moral reckoning. He positions his actions—especially regarding Iran’s nuclear program—as essential for global survival, arguing that inaction would have resulted in annihilation.
This approach, rooted in survival and urgency, illustrates a key public speaking strategy: redirecting negativity into a narrative of necessity. The discussion extends beyond politics to critique the rise of AI in entertainment, exemplified by Sunny Haas licensing her books to AI firms to overcome Hollywood’s gatekeeping. While she claims the move promotes diverse storytelling, critics argue it displaces human creators and profits, especially from marginalized communities.
The commentary also touches on cultural shifts, such as the rise of "NEPO babies" (children of celebrities or billionaires) in entertainment, highlighting how privilege and access shape success. Ultimately, the piece reflects on how power, technology, and privilege shape both global politics and cultural production, underscoring a growing tension between innovation and human agency. It concludes that while AI and new platforms offer access, they also risk commodifying human experience and culture—especially when driven by personal gain rather than shared humanity.
