514 - Netanyahu In New York, Nepo Babies, & “The View”
78m 24s
The transcript blends a culinary exploration of Kewpie mayo with a broader cultural and political commentary. Kewpie mayo is introduced as a distinct, rich mayonnaise made only with egg yolks, widely adopted for its deep, buttery flavor and versatility in food. This is contrasted with a detailed analysis of Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he faces a hostile audience and uses strategic rhetoric—such as calling out moral cowardice and framing military decisions as life-saving—to maintain presence and legitimacy. The segment critiques how such narratives justify controversial actions by claiming that failure would have led to global annihilation. It then shifts to a critical examination of AI’s role in entertainment, spotlighting Sunny Hostin's decision to license her books to AI companies to promote diverse stories, sparking debate over authenticity, exploitation, and the displacement of human creators. The discussion reflects on the broader cultural shifts: the rise of "nepo babies" in entertainment, the commodification of identity, and the increasing dominance of technology in content creation. Ultimately, the narrative questions whether humanity’s creative and moral core is being eroded by convenience, privilege, and automation. It concludes with a call for awareness—encouraging audiences to critically evaluate the media they consume and to value human artistry over algorithmic output. The tone is reflective, satirical, and urgent, emphasizing that while technology offers new tools, it cannot replace the depth and integrity of human experience.

You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like,
okay, hold on, I got a new favorite food!
That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Kewpie mayo.
Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle.
You've probably seen it at the grocery store.
And this mayo is different.
Mm-hmm, most mayonnaise uses whole eggs.
Kewpie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor.
It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery.
Once people try it, they start putting it on everything.
Eggs, sandwiches, fries, burgers.
Chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it.
Put it on just about anything.
Then you'll understand.
Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise.
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 beautiful week because it's the week of the United Nations General Assembly,
a 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.
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 going to arrest him.
He shows up with a big motorcade.
And I believe he threatened.
He said we have special forces everywhere.
So if you try anything, we'll try something too.
You know, but I respect the fact that he comes.
And he gives a speech at the UN General Assembly.
Even when he's not.
Even when he's not.
Even when he's not.
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 he has 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 pull something.
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 thought to himself, there's going to, people are going to 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 going to be angry with us.
Yeah, the wings of Zion.
He goes, they might be, they might be rude to us.
But we're going to show up and give this speech anyway.
And I respect that.
And I think.
I think the people in Gaza do.
I think the people in Gaza respect it, 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 going to gloss over that.
But I think they respect that he came to New York City.
And, and he.
He braved the elements.
And by the elements, I mean the protesters, Hannah Einbinder, Susan Sarandon, these people there.
He said he stared them down.
He stared them down.
And 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 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.
He's 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.
OK, we're going to take you straight to the.
United Nations General Assembly in New York because the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is just going to be the stage.
Why is everyone leaving?
This is tough to watch.
Why won't they at least hear his rationale 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.
Now, 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 they're drunk.
Maybe they've maybe the air conditioning in the room is broke.
Like 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 event 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 performer and just center.
Benjamin, focus on the ones that are there.
Focus on the handful of people that are still there.
Countries where you've personally installed the leaders or have bribed or blackmailed them.
Focus on them.
Focusing on the countries that you've personally installed.
Focus 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've got to come out the gate with a good opener.
Strong opener.
Address what happened.
Address it.
Move on.
These are the rules.
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 at the United Nations General Assembly.
The whole.
I request an order in the hall, please.
Come on.
Thank you.
Mr. President, before I begin, 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.
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 hall, 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 school's 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,
brilliant,
brilliantly done.
Now, let's. Now, let's. Can we see a little bit of the speech after that?
Just. 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 he. They've. They've personally installed the leaders,
including our own, by the way,
including the United States.
And, um. 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, um. Let's go back to where. So, everyone's leaving.
And let's. Let's take it from here.
Mr. That's right.
Thank you very much.
That's right.
Still a tough room.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Still a tough room.
Still a tough room.
Fourteen years ago. That's right. I stood on this podium. and I drew a red line.
That's right.
I vowed to prevent Iran's murderous dictatorship
from developing. Stop it there. atomic bombs.
So this is another great way to. Everyone's looking at 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 around the corner.
It's a real problem for him.
The Haaretz 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 U.S.-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, Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon.
That's what we're talking about today.
I like. It's called framing the issue.
We're going to 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, iced coffees,
being, like, you know, talking about whatever
and no one cares.
You know, trying to, like, you know,
trying to talk about what deeply fulfills them
on a spiritual level.
And their employer's 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
is 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 good job
and you've done a good job
and you've done a good job
and you've done a good job
whether it's an experimental vaccine
for a 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 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.
We're incapable of defending
longstanding alliances.
It's remaking the Middle East.
It's remaking our relationships
with oil-rich Gulf states
that up until now were 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.
In 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 textbook narcissist.
I did it for you.
We were faced with a threat of annihilation.
Yes.
On June 5th, 1967,
I'm going to start talking like this.
Israel was surrounded by,
by enemies
who openly swore to destroy us.
All right, pause this.
I'm going to 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. still 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 going to annihilate
everybody. I got to get rid of them for everybody.
All right, get them out of 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
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, uh, you have
to open your heart to this man because he
is, um,
he is a beautiful
soul, you know?

I'm not going to crash out in a group chat. Good luck, buddy.
That's why I love having something on the line. It turns all of us
into complete lunatics in the best possible way.
Suddenly, you're rooting for a backup tight end

You're switching.
You're switching seats in the house so you don't jinx the QB

Sunny Hostin, who's becoming
my favorite person on The View because she's really
unhinged.
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
watch 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 7 and all that?
By the way, yeah, what did happen?
She used to 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 would be like. Barbara Walters would say something like,
uh, coming up next
we've got Mary Steenburgen.
And then Rosie O'Donnell would go, well, 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 Hostin
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. I talk 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 TruTV. 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 gonna go
in and we're gonna 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 made. But 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 gotta really get out there
and say, you're gonna pay us
and we're gonna get residuals and we
wanna know who's watching what
and we want our power as writers.
Now, by the way,
all power to you. I'm not
a studio exec. I just, from the outside,
was going, this will not work
the way they think it's gonna work.
Didn't have a dog in the 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 gonna 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,
went on strike and I'm in the screen
actors' guild so I was technically on strike, which
whatever. I mean, I'm sitting here.
Podcasts were not part of the
strike. But whatever.
And again, I'm not like saying
anything good about David Zaslav.
I'm just saying, I could see this from outside
going, this is not gonna
work. They're not going. So they
hammered out this very
tenuous agreement and then
they just went, we're not even gonna make anything
anymore. We're gonna make a few
things and we're
gonna 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 writer's 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 studios
hammered out this kind of
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
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
Hostin is very upset because she writes
romance novels.
Like, get up the titles of some of
Sunny Hostin's books. She writes
romance novels
and they're kind of like
drugstore slop.
Some
are in the bluffs.
Some are on the bluffs.
Set in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, the first novel
follows a wealthy woman hosting a
three goddaughters for life-changing
summer. Summer on Sag Harbor.
Summer on Highland
Beach. So she's writing
drugstore slop novels
and
hosting The View. Now, by the way,
not hating 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 Hostin, who I
imagine was all for the writer's 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 executive. 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 Hostin is
now coming on The View to explain
to everyone why she has personally
she's
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
Hostin 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 people.
Just 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 Kash Patel, I find him likable
even though he is a goon and a goofball and dishonest.
There is something likable about how absolutely
like incapable he is of doing anything right.
It's like a child you have that can't do anything right.
You want to hit them and you want to ground them,
but there's some likability they have
because they're such a buffoon.
So here is Sonny Hostin,
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 this company. 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 Hostin 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's like,
hey, what the fuck?
What the fuck?
What are you doing?
And now we're going to watch this
and 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 become increasingly angry
at Sonny Hostin.
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 couldn't be done.
It cuts out the gatekeeping.
You get to make your film.
You get to have a director.
Do they have actors in it, though?
No, they're generated.
I've licensed my image.
And so I may appear.
Where's Waldo somewhere in it?
Wait, wait, you're a robot 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. I don't get it.
I love those things.
Those stories are not being told.
But if those people are, in fact, robots,
how does that help the real black community?
I would say. 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 there are going to be
enormous benefits, but of course. Did you feel any ethical issues in signing that?
I thought about it a lot.
But 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. 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 has 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 she
would just say that,
if she just said,
the train's left the station to say,
I think it'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, no.
It's about her story being told
and getting money for it
and damn everyone else who wants to work.
So she's just great.
We like her.
We're in support of 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
bestsellers into movies
and nobody would do it.
So now we're using AI.
Palantir's doing it.
Palantir's doing it.
You know why, Joy?
Because diverse stories
need to get told
and Peter Thiel'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,
hey, Sam Altman's doing it.
You know why?
Because diverse stories need to get told.
So it does, yeah.
What is Fountain 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 Hostin
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 see a lot of people
and I say to myself,
I go,
should humanity remain
the paramount creative force on Earth?
Oh, I don't know!
Because Sunny Hostin,
multi-millionaire Sunny Hostin
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 Ama Vo 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.
Amelia,
Ama Vo Tanner,
a wealthy retiree
mourning her late husband,
decides to move to the south of France.
She invites her three goddaughters
to her Oak Bluffs beach house,
Chateau Laveau,
for one final summer get-together.
Ama announces that by Labor Day,
she will hand the deed
to the prized house
over to only one of them.
Each woman desperately wants the home,
but each hides a major personal secret
that she fears will ruin her chances
at approving the book.
However,
she doesn't.
She's unaware that she's 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 schools 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 the black communities have been decimated
um 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 because they go maybe one day i'll be able to write ai slop
like summer on the bluffs every summer esperanza
you
the 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 ama with her late husband and two sisters
perry is looking forward to trading meetings and clients for days of langer and fun i mean yeah
this should be ai this should be ai slop but it's the
way that it's introduced like hey if i'm not going to get a movie if you're not going to make
my terrible book into a movie if you're not going to make my terrible book into a movie
i should be able to to ai the whole fucking thing i should be able to do that

very sad to stay on the tech theme 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 why no one wants to date the tech bros
once seen as nerdy but harmless innovators men in tech are now why don't you date the tech bros
widely regarded as red-pilled elon musk wannabes it's made getting laid a whole lot harder um
engaged in a flirtatious conversation at a bar in 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
he said he wanted to get a job at palantir and he was told 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 u.s and israel which used the company's
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
prospective 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 said
he says recently gary's buddies requested he not mention 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

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 the baby's heads in Gaza while 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 moving on Gare what else did I send you I sent you something as I was heading
over I was uh oh yeah this Nepo stuff I want to get into this here and Gary all of that is true
all of those things are true and I'm I am 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 podcaster
is the only one that'll suck
my dick and he does it dressed like Barry Weiss
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 uh 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
um does something insane usually the Wall Street Journal um 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 they're 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 going to bother you with the woke stuff
that's what they say we're not going to bother you with all the land acknowledgement shit
but you're also going to 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 going to bother you with the
DEI shit but if you don't want to hear it we're not going to bother you with the DEI 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 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 or 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 Stella Lefty was riding high
the country folk singer spent the summer going viral on TikTok for her breakout single
ball
Austin a pared down love song that is currently number two on the billboard hot 100 then internet
sleuths discovered that Lefty was short for Lefkovsky and the overnight success was the
daughter of a billionaire Lefty's father Groupon co-founder Eric Lefkovsky 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 bores me anyway because
truly like rich people will always have an advantage billionaire and I will I'm just
going to tell the Wall Street Journalists they may be unaware of this it might be
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
than if your dad was on House of Cards or something so you see that now I'm also it bores 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 uh moms and dads are billionaires she her her name is long so I understand why she
cut it off but she's a billionaire and she's a billionaire and she's a billionaire and she's a
short it's Jewish that might be why she cut it short too that's happening to Hollywood um 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 um but everything's for the taking now so she doesn't so I'm saying
there's other reasons that she might have changed her 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 untalented 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 I don't find
her to be that amazing I think she's fine and I don't 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 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 one of these big simulation guys but the fact that someone named Stella Lefty
we're discussing this even you know that she's a country mute is her did she steal the song from
Noah Cahot 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 your 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 is saying well her dad's just a
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 schizo and died in
a public mental institution now I'm here doing it for a living I have a very nice car but so I get it
I understand this me and Stella we're 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 incredible
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 to bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar fine
I'm not trying to begrudge anyone their success is it exit do I like the Ella 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 know they had privilege and a lot of people didn't and
you were telling were privileged and evil,
They ended up
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
Are like you go to country music shows
Because they feel like
They're not being moralized to
Or they're not being lectured or whatever
But now I think
We're at the point now
Where that's going to recede a little bit
And then you're going to start to see
That that peaked
Choose in Texas
Fun song
Little bit of an earworm
You know
Choose in Texas
I can tell
By the way
Yeah it's good
It's good
It's good
But this is what happens with culture 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 this Stella Lefty here
Is popping the bubble a little bit
On that
And 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
When you hear Sonny Hostin go
And the train has left the station
She's not wrong
When she says that about AI
And about all of these things
The train has left the station
And this has left the station
And that's going blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
But there is going to be a time
When 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
When 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
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 give a fuck
I didn't grow up with the Mighty Ducks
And when Harry met Sally
And the Birdcage
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 Block
On the Bluffs
Because Sunny Hostin decided
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 better
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
To self-awareness
To know
That people may see it a little differently
That's all
You just got to own it
You just got to
Just got to do it
Why
Are all these people
The only people that seem to be getting anything
That's a fair question
That's a fair question
I think a lot of it is that they grow up
With these
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
You know
Some behavior
That other
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
Lefty was in Joker 2
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
Gaga
And 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
Netball babies get shit
Is because the powers
That be
That
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

Let's talk for a minute
About job interviews
Before I get out of here
Because I know a lot of
Uh
You know
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 gonna have to
Get
And you're not all
Gonna have fucking
Daddy Groupon
So you're gonna 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 are 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
In all ways
She stressed this
Above all else
Mail a physical
Thank you note
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
Former no-nos
Like tattoos and dyed hair
Often aren't 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 Wenanian introduced a new one,
don't carry nice coffee into an interview.
Walking in to 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 asked.
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.
Wenanian has since posted a follow-up video
saying she wasn't trying to stoke the flames
for the sake of likes and reposts.
When you really want a job offer,
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.
I'm going to 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's 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 they want.
The only thing 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 nights off
and are they really free and can you text them at night
and are they going to have to be on the Slack group chat?
How much work do they want?
How much work do they want to do?
This, that, and 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 having children
or getting married or whatever.
They're living in very expensive cities
in arrangements with roommates
well into their 30s.
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 going to 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,
but here are the bad components of that
because every time you're in a relationship,
every good has a bad.
Every positive thing has a bad.
Working at Palantir, you make $250,000
and you can pay your parents' medical debt off.
But you are designing machinery of death
to kill innocent people
and I'm going to have sex with you dressed as Barry Weiss.
That's what it is.
Here are the bad components of Gen Z's
overarching thing,
which again, I think is 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 things are.
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 going to happen.
It's never going to 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,
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 at 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 framework of that
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 a year at a 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.
I don't 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 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 in with a nice coffee and go,
listen, when's my vacation?
When do I get it?
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?
Oh, yeah.
It just is what it is, folks.
Like, you know,
people have to just say to themselves,
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 columnist
and founder and CEO of Sarah McCord Communications.
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 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 of the latte and go,
I'm not.
If you think I'm one of these drones
that's going to sit there
and fucking lose me,
and lose my identity
in your capitalist machine,
you're out of your fucking mind.
My father owns Groupon, you faggot.
My father owns Groupon
and I'm a country gal.
And then put your hat on with your latte
and go, and I'm a country gal.
And go in with a guitar
and go, I want to sing in my interview.
I want to sing.
My father owns Groupon.
AI's going to put you in a cage.
Peter Thiel's my father.
My father!
And open your eyes
and they'll be all black
and go, Peter Thiel's my father!
And then you'll get the job.
Bye.

meals with real human-grade ingredients like chicken, beef, carrots, and peas cooked right

the number one vet-recommended fresh dog food, earning trust from pet parents who want to feel
confident in what they're feeding. When a brand is willing to show you
exactly what you're getting, you can walk into a restaurant, see what's being made,

they produce. Nothing to hide, everything to love. Go to JustFoodForDogs.com and get 50% off your first

FAQs
Kewpie mayo is a Japanese-style mayonnaise made only with egg yolks, giving it a rich, buttery, umami flavor. Unlike most mayonnaises that use whole eggs, Kewpie is smoother and deeper in taste, which is why it's popular for spreading on sandwiches, fries, burgers, and in culinary applications.
People often fall in love with Kewpie mayo because of its rich, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor profile that stands out from regular mayonnaise. Its unique taste and smooth texture make it a surprising and enjoyable new favorite food.
The UN General Assembly brings together world leaders to discuss global issues like climate change, war, and the economy. It serves as a platform for diplomacy, though it can also become a site of controversy and tension, especially when leaders face strong opposition or protests.
Netanyahu addresses the hostile crowd by acknowledging their reaction, calling out 'moral cowards' who left, and reframing the situation as a moment of resilience. This approach turns a potential liability into a powerful demonstration of leadership and control.
He argues that without his actions, the world would have faced annihilation, claiming that his decisions were necessary to prevent widespread destruction and loss of life, framing them as life-saving despite being controversial.
Sunny Hostin's decision to license her content to AI companies highlights a growing trend where creators use AI to bypass traditional gatekeeping in Hollywood, especially to tell diverse stories, though critics question whether this displaces real human roles and opportunities.
