Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show and congratulations to everyone who won. It's not easy. It's not easy to run a campaign and to win. So congrats to everybody. And Texas swung blue. The governor, James Tallarico. And I have a lot of friends in Texas and many of them will be executed. But you know what? Life is life and it moves on. And though we love everyone, many people I know will be executed, at least jailed, for a little bit and then executed. Dems took the Senate. Dems took the House. Dems took the governors in Texas. And, um. I mean, it was a bloodbath. It was a real, uh, bloodbath. But Trump ran on the old platform of, uh, Iran and look at them titties. Nicki Minaj, look at that ass. He ran on a platform of, like, quote, I'll go be the prime minister of Israel if you don't like it. That was one of the things he said. He goes, hey, I'll just go to Israel and be the prime minister. Fuck all of you. So it was not the. It was not the great night. Not the great night for the Republican Party. I remember two years ago, everybody was like, will the Democrats ever win another election? They're fucked forever. All these retards were, like, showing photos of Bannon, uh, not Bannon, uh, uh, Barron, the tall one. And he was go. And they were like, they're fucked for 40 years, the Democrats. Like, it was going to go from Trump to Ivanka to Don Jr. to Barron. Like, and that. Now, two years later, it's the whole thing is complete. It's complete. It's complete. It's complete. It's completely flipped. That's just the way it is. It was, uh. It's not popular. And listen, there's only so. There's only so scared people are going to be of trans people. Because that's really what a lot of it was. They were like, they're going to get you. And, uh, people were like, hey, man, I'm broke. I have no money. I go to the grocery store. By the way, if you go to a grocery store now, and imagine having a family. Because I don't have one, and most people I know don't. You can't afford it. Who can afford a family now? But if you just walk around a grocery store and imagine. Because I imagine having a family and having no money. Now, I have a lot of money and no family. But I imagine having a family and not having a lot of money and having to tell them things like, we can't have that. And sometimes I'll even talk to my imaginary children in the grocery store. I'll go, we can't afford that. I'm trying as hard as I can. But that's what's really happening. People are saying that for real. I do it to imaginary children I don't have, which is kind of, it's a little tasteless, actually. But I often imagine, like, what if I was a working-class mom and I had three kids walking around the grocery store with me and they were like, I want this. And I'm like, we're not getting that. We're not getting that. We're not getting, you know, Haagen-Dazs, whatever they want. We're not getting it. And then they cry. I want a Haagen-Dazs! I go, shut up. You don't even know what it is. You don't even. And I do this in a grocery store. I sneal and I talk to my daughter. I go, you don't even know what it is. But it's bad out there. So that's why. And, you know, and the Republican platform was like, trans people are going to. to trans your children. And I think a lot of people started going, well, maybe they'd make some money. Maybe I want trans kids. Get a couple of bucks in here. Maybe I want a couple of tranny boombannies. So I think people just economically are fucked and they're saying to themselves, you know what? So what if my kids just become trans? Maybe they'll get on Netflix. How about that? Get a fucking check. Get a fucking check in this house. My trans kid on Netflix? Good. But you know what it is? That's what people were selling. The Republicans were like, they're going to trans the kids. Maybe some of that was true. Some of that's probably true. My friend told me a story about a weird teacher named Moss who keeps telling the kids you can be whatever gender you want. That's crazy. That's crazy. No child in America should be given any options. They shouldn't be told that they can be whatever they want when they grow up and they certainly shouldn't be told they can be whatever gender they want. Every child in America should be told by a very pragmatic and realistic teacher there is a finite amount of options for you. Get realistic now. There is a small subset of things you can do and they're disappearing by the day. It should not be like you can be any gender you want and you can grow up to be the president and you can be anything you want. You can be an astronaut. It's like, hey, there were 30,000 kids in the United States 30 jobs last year. Now there's 15. And soon there's going to be eight. So kids shouldn't have all the options. That being said, no one's afraid of trans people that much that they're like, I don't know. I'm just going to buy all this food for a million dollars and eat it with my family and just keep a lookout for trans people who are coming into the house to trans the kids. And I'm not for the trans stuff when they're children. I think it should be when they're older because then it's more fun. The child trans stuff I don't think is right. I think it should be when they're older. You got to wait. You got to make decisions when you're older. Literally. I'm sorry. But no one's that afraid of their daughter. Because Republicans are basically like, what if your daughter's on a swim team and one of the swimmer that keeps winning keeps fucking hitting her in the head with a cock. Sure, it's disturbing to think about. But at the end of the day, the food's too expensive. The gas is too expensive. People can't live. People can't buy things. They can't own things. People in America exist in two states. Broke or not broke. Not broke runs a, it's a spectrum from Jeff Bezos to like, I got a couple of bucks to take my girlfriend to dinner. And take her to the movie. That's the spectrum of not broke. Bezos to, I got a couple of bucks. We're going to dinner. We're getting guac. Medium. Medium, please. Medium's fine. What heat? A medium. To relax. And then you go to a movie, you get a couple of bucks. That's the two things. When you have money, you tend to be very ideological and you can kind of, you know, you could sit back and you have the luxury of judging people. When you have a lot of money, you get to judge. Sit back with a lot of money and go, well, I don't think I would do it like that actually. But when you're broke, you're worried about your actual ability to stay alive. And if you have a family, you're looking at your family and you're like, I brought them into this world and I have to provide them a life. And this Iran thing was like a big disaster. It was a big fucking disaster. So selling the country to Israel and then, you know, fucking launching a war in Iran that we're losing wasn't popular. It wasn't. What do you want me to say? It was not a popular thing. For the president to go, I'm just kidding about everything I said I was going to do. We're actually just going to do what Israel wants. We'll just do what they want. They want to nuke someone. Let's do it. Fine. We'll nuke them. That's not a popular platform. You can't promise a bunch of people stuff and then renege on like every single one. Now there's things I don't love. Can you get up Elon Omar's acceptance speech? I don't love this. I think the Republicans were rightly punished for, you know, abandoning their voters. That's what happens. There are consequences. That doesn't mean that I love everything about what's going on. Is this, this is the speech where she, she speaks in her native tongue, I believe. I think. I think there should be a clip of this, Maybe that's a little less than five minutes. But it's very easy to see why they lost. It's very easy to see why they lost. The American people are, you know, desperate. And they're becoming increasingly desperate. And Trump's like, hey, we're building data centers. And that's going to be good. Why? I don't know. Something about China. We've got to beat them. But you have, you're taking your job. So we're going to put a data center in your backyard. And we're going to hang out with billionaires and tech CEOs. He's letting it all hang out this term, Trump. He's really letting it all hang out. This is kind of really, really what he's about. Which is putting a bunch of billionaires at the table. And trying to make as much money as possible. And that was a bad look. That's a bad look to people. Because you've got to remember, this guy was at every rally being like, I'm here for you. I represent you. And like, diner waitresses were there. Like, people who just got off a shift at a diner. Like, nine hours at a diner. And they've got, like, pancake batter on their shoe. And they're standing in a field. And they're listening to this guy. And he just landed in his own 737. And he's, you know, up there. And he's fucking going off for three hours about how he's going to, like, strangle the political class. And drain the swamp. And he's going to take a machete and whack the deep state. And then you're going to live. Finally, you're going to live, pancake batter shoe lady. And you're going to live. And it's going to be okay. But now she's sitting at home going, what the fuck? What is this data center? How does this help me? How does a data center help me? Did I say data center? How does data center help me? But you know what I mean. But I don't love this. Can we not have whatever the hell Trump's doing? Do we have to? Does this have to be the other option? Do we live in a country where there are no other options except this? It is either Trump and five tech billionaires building data centers and firing nukes because Israel wanted them to. Or this. And let's take a listen here. Let's take a listen here. Can't there be, I'm just asking, I'm asking as someone who's lived here 41 years, is there any way to have a third option here? Oh, God. I mean, God, it's not a pretty language, is it? Is that a pretty language? Oh, boy. All right. Well, there you have it. That's what you get. That's what you get. It's not popular. These data centers are not popular. I mean, I was on with the all-in guys the other night. They had me, you know, come into their live stream. And I liked them. I mean, they're criminals and should go in front of a tribunal and soon will. But they are fun. And I did their live stream. I did their live stream with Taylor Lorenz, by the way, and Ted Cruz. I mean, what a crew. What a crew. And then Hassan had all the viewers. And then it was me, Ted Cruz, and Taylor Lorenz for no one. And then the three billionaire criminals of all in. But we were, uh, these, they love a data. They just want data centers, these people. They just don't care. By the way, no one even really said the word data center during the campaign. Nobody was really talking about data centers. Was anyone like, well, we're going to have a big, beautiful data center? No one is saying that. This is, this shit's like new that everybody needs to get on board with data centers. And Trump attacked his base. He lashed out at them. He said, if you don't want data centers, you're a fucking moron. You want to keep America dumb and backwards and stupid. Then he attacked them because they wanted the Epstein files released. His surrogates, Bongino and Cash Patel. Friend of the show, Cash Patel. We're going out, go, we're going to, we're going to release the Epstein files. And then they get in and they go, he killed himself. There are no files. No one, there was no one did anything wrong here. And they thought the people were just going to roll the fuck over. They thought everybody was going to roll over. That's literally how stupid they thought the voters were. They thought people were just going to roll the fuck over and like, have like some dementia, like early onset Alzheimer's and not remember. Literally what had transpired a few months prior, where they were promising transparency and maybe prosecutions. If people had done a horrible, unspeakable crime to children, instead they got out there and said it didn't happen. And then it was all fine. And that everyone who was like asking about it was crazy. And that was when I think a lot of the trust, started to evaporate. I'll tell you, underdog is amazing. You guys know what underdogs about how exciting it is when the game's going, you got the game going and everybody's like, what's going to happen with the game. And you're all watching it. And the QB is throwing it. No, no. Where's the wide receiver. Where's that guy from? What's his deal. And you're pacing around with the Buffalo wings and the game. That's when underdog comes in. Underdog is good. Don't just watch lock in lock in with underdog and give every game a pulse. Download underdog to play. Keep your million. Start with a million and make it through all 20 picks and walk away with whatever's left underdog. The fan and us were completely rash. Oh yeah. Yeah. We know this. We know this already with underdog. You're irrational when a game's on. You're like, Oh, what's going on? The game's on. Hey, underdog, unleash your dog, underdog, unleash your dog, underdog, unleash your dog. Trading involves risk, including total loss on positions.

And that was a horrible thing, whether you like Charlie Kirk or not. I mean, the guy's, you know, he's killed by his own wife? You know what I mean? Or something like that. I don't know. But put it this way. It's not that, but it's also not not that. The way she acted, I mean, Come on. But that whole horrible thing, because nobody should get shot in the face, even if you disagree with them. That happened. And then there was this strange, whether you think it was the Tyler Robinson person, or it was more complicated than that, or it was fucking, you know, sharpshooters hired by BB, whatever you think it was. What happened? What happened after that, what transpired was kind of gross. She's out in sequined dresses, jumping around. They're talking about merch and fundraising. The grift was so, was so transparent. It was laid bare for everybody to see. This griftopia that had sprung up out of this guy's massacre. And I think a lot of people got uncomfortable with that. I was a little uncomfortable with that. I was like, what's going on? And I like merch. It's fun. Go buy the merch. Is our merch good? It's not good. It's not good merch. Not good. Sometimes I'll see someone and I'll go, oh. Sometimes I'll see someone wearing my merch and I'm horrified. Not the fake business. That is good merch. But the friend of the show is not good. And we're going to take it down and do it again. It's bad. Sorry, the person who designed it's in the room. And it's not good. It was very lazy and it's bad. And every now and then I see someone with it and I feel bad immediately. I'm ashamed for myself and them. And I want to hand them money. I don't. But I want to. But that one's nice. And then that one. Whatever. It's not about this. It's not about this. A man lost his life. The point is she's out there with the merch and the ticket counts and the pyrotechnic. People are going, hey, man, what's going on? Because the theme of the entire second administration has been grift. It's been spectacular, in-your-face, unrelenting grift. And it has been so blatant. And you can't really disguise it as anything else. You have to be so intellectually dishonest to see it as anything else. So you have the Epstein thing happen. You have the Kirk thing. The guy gets elected with immigration. He closes the border, which I think was good. You should have an orderly border. And you should deport people that have committed crimes. And you should look at these 10 million people that showed up like three, four years ago. A lot of them don't have legitimate asylum claims. Some of them do. Whatever. And you could have hired judges to expedite removals of some of those people. And you could have focused on deporting criminals. They got a ragtag group of backyard wrestlers who are like 19 years old who have zero time. They're training to run around American communities with Halloween masks on, grabbing Latino grandmothers and fathers who were there for their daughter's graduation and putting them in trucks. They're like terrorizing communities in unmarked cars. They're running around in Michael Myers masks, grabbing abuelas. It was the stupidest, most cruel and insane thing I'd ever seen in my life. Well, what happened? You lost. You lost the Latino vote. Obviously, you're going to lose the Latino vote. When you're storming a backyard while someone's hitting a pinata and you're putting their father in a van, the people at the party are not going to vote for you. And I think you need to have a border. You need to have a country. You need to have an orderly way for people to come in. I've made all of these points more eloquently than I'm making them. Now, on many platforms, including this one, I'm not going to keep rehashing them. But the point is that there's a far cry from that to running around and just snatching people off the street, shooting that lesbian in the face, you know, because she got in front of the car. And I know lesbians are difficult. I get it. I get it. But you can hit them with a stick. You don't have to shoot a lesbian in the face. When you can hit them with a stick. You lose the Latino vote when you behave like this. I'm just saying this is what happens. You lose moderates when you start acting like a lunatic. Now, had they said, we're going to really look at some of the gangs that came over here, that Venezuelan gang, Trend Agua or whatever, and then we're going to look at a lot of the people that came that Biden let in, that were living in hotels and taxpayer funded, and they're getting priority for housing and they're getting all this stuff. We're going to look at all of that and we're going to reform that system. And a lot of those people are going to leave. But you're going out and taking people that have 20 year history in a community and you're ripping apart a part of a family and you're deporting people. So, and I know the media is not going to be fair about this. I'm sure they, they, they, you know, deported some criminals and the media acted like they were lovely people, but knowing that the media is going to behave the way the media does, and you can only control that to the extent that you can, which is not a lot. I mean, you can't have the Ellison's by everything and they did, but you know, you have to act judiciously. You need to have a rule of law. You cannot have masked people running around. The streets throwing people in vans. Here's how you lose. That's how you lose. Okay. Now let's talk about Gaza. And I know what you're saying. The people in Gaza are doing fine. Not really. No, not really. No, not really. Um, October 7th, terrible innocent life being lost because these are, again, these are not people that are involved in making the decision. These are people that are at a music festival or in their house or whatever, and they suffer an attack and those people are kidnapped and taken to Gaza. Horrible thing. A lot of Jewish people. I know it was very traumatic, very traumatic for, for anybody who cares about humanity. Okay. Um, but then Israel's campaign with this genocidal, you know, campaign of, you know, infanticide. I mean, they're killing a lot of children on Tik TOK live. They're like going live. The IDF's like, and we're live. Like what? There's only so much that people can stomach. There's only so many children being killed that people can stomach. You know, I topped out. I tapped out 8,000, 8,000 children. I won. I touched burned alive. And then I was like, is this is too much, too much for the first two or 3,000. It was enjoyable between three and 5,000. I barely noticed it. It got boring around five to 7,000. It got interesting again, but at 8,000 children burned alive in front of my eyes while I sat on the toilet on my phone. I sat on the toilet on my phone. I said, it's too much. Everyone taps out at a different number. One of my friends made it to 40,000. But my point is this. Some people got mad even after a couple. People don't have the tolerance for that. We're not built to watch that. We're not built to take part in that. It is evil and monstrous. So we have that happening. Then the war with Iran, this disastrous misadventure in Iran that they keep telling us we're winning. They're like, we've won. They're done. They have no military. Well, they blew our bases off the face of the earth. Everything costs more money. Because we all at least thought, well, at least we win. That's what we all believe. We're like, well, we don't have health care, but at least we're going to, well, yeah, we can beat Iran. Yeah, they're a mid-level power, but we can knock the shit out of them. I mean, we don't have health care. It's for this. It's for the ability to do this. Now, is that a good trade-off? No. But that's what we thought. Yeah, the infrastructure's a little fucked, but we can get Iran. That bridge is weird and uncomfortable. comfortable when you drive over it, because we haven't repaired it. But at least there's Iran. Yes, the downtowns of our cities are ghostly hellscapes filled with fentanyl addicts that lunge at you from the dark, but we can beat Iran. Yes, our schools are underfunded. Teachers have to buy their own supplies. And the children are all hopped up on Adderall and whatnot, and they're running around and, you know, watching, you know, videos of other people being killed. But we can knock the shit out of Iran. Like, that, it was the whole Carlin quote. Like, we don't have this, we don't have that. It was, like, the whole George Carlin thing. But he's like, we can knock the shit out of your country. That's what we always believed. And in 1996, when he did that special, we did believe it, and it was true. Like, he was like, can't make a TV anymore for shit, can't do this, can't do that, but we can knock the shit out of your country. And so that was like something that we believed in our unrivaled military supremacy, which this war and I'm not saying anything bad about the people in the military, but the decisions and the way that the war was prosecuted, this war has really called into question that belief that we are the supreme military power or that the type of military power that we have, the aircraft carriers, is that still relevant with asymmetrical warfare, with drones, with all these other things? And the answer is no, it's not. The answer is it's not worth it. I mean, it's not relevant to what we're trying to do. So, finding that out in real time is a little bit of a fucking bummer. Finding out that one of the only things you truly still believed was great about the country isn't as great as you thought is a bummer. It is not, doesn't fill you with a sense of, doesn't fill you with a sense of pride. Doesn't make you think to yourself, wow, you know what? We're the toughest ones going. Again, this is nothing about the people in the military. This is everything about the technology, the decisions made. Pete Hegsath, this like drunken psychopath. I mean, they bombed a school full of Iranian girls, school children that were going to school, which is again, and I've said it before, but something we're told they're not allowed to do. How did they bomb a girl's school? Girls aren't allowed to, you know. So, this war, which is not only unpopular in no one's interest, but I don't even think it's in Israel's interest, certainly not in ours. It's in Israel's interest in if it worked, had it worked, is incredibly unpopular. And it is, it is, it is unmasked. You know, a very troubling reality that, you know, a lot of our, our modes of warfare are perhaps outdated. And then we have the tech angle. The great tech people. These people, and they're not people. These entities are the least likable people to have ever lived. They're the least likable people. It's like if you found that the kid in your class was, who everybody hated is now a trillionaire. You know, how's our friend doing? Oh, that guy everybody hated? Yeah. He's got 300 billion dollars. These are the most hateable people in the world. Vivek, who took a real beating, when he came out and he was like, hey, if you don't, if you don't have any jobs, maybe you should stop. If you're saved by the bell, stop trying to be Zach. Why don't you try to be Screech? That's his whole point. His whole point was like, stop trying to be a good-looking jock. Just be a weird nerd who everybody hates so that you can get rich and have the world hate you. These guys are rich. They have to live in bunkers so people don't kill them. Because everybody hates their face. And these people who propel Trump with massive donations and you know, they're data mining and they have access to everybody's information. And they're, you know, incredibly powerful. More powerful than anyone's really ever been, when you think about it, in the corporate world. Because of the information that they have. They're the most hateable people in the world. And Trump's like hanging out with them and having dinner with them. Gross. Gross. He's having dinner with them, like, while they pretend to eat. And he's having dinner with them. And he's telling everybody how great data centers are going to be. And he's going, hey, Palantir, why don't you merge all the data that the federal government has? And he's handing out contracts to people. And Peter Thiel said the other day, see if you can get this up. Peter Thiel, there was a protester at a Peter Thiel speech and they were protesting that the weapons that Palantir was selling to Israel were used to commit the genocide in Gaza. And Peter Thiel, his response was like, literally, hey thanks. Like, it was the wildest, and I saw it on IG. It was like Peter Thiel's response to a protester. And he was, it was like a, it was just, it was such a moment, because you have this guy who, again, people think is like the Antichrist. He's like, people think he's like the symbol of evil or whatever. And it's not all about him. There's like a lot of them. There's like a lot of those types of people that are doing this. But he's confronted, with a protester who's protesting Gaza and, um, you know, yeah, it's, it's, it's not there. It'll be, search Instagram. You have Instagram? Yeah, if you go on Instagram, you might find it. But he doesn't even try, which is amazing about the clip, he doesn't even try, I'll send it to you if I have it, he doesn't even try to, like, make some type of point, some moral point, um, about the complexities of warfare or any of that. He literally just goes, hey, this is pretty cool that you actually, uh, noticed this. So here, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna send this to you on, um, on Instagram. It's unbelievable. It's so crazy. And this is the type of people that he's dealing with, that Trump has now around him all the time. You're right, so I just sent it to you. It's, um, it's unbelievable that this is the group, that's the crew. These are the people, it's Zuckerberg, it's Elon, it's Bezos, it's the NVIDIA guy, Jensen Huang, it's, you know, all of these people. It's Sam Altman, who was accused of sexual assault by his own sister. Whatever, I think the case was dismissed. Whatever, he's still creepy, and probably still maybe did it, allegedly. Technology is no alternative to politics. Technology is politics. That's my joke on this hunt. Three more times. Three more times. I, um, well, I will get, I will, I will sort of get to it by and by, but the, uh, the 30-second rebuttal by that man protesting, I assume the Palantir technology at least works. He's not protesting. IBM. He's not protesting Lockheed, Raytheon, all the vaporware providers, and, um, and so, you know, um, if you're, even if you're evil, you're at least not bad. You're not incompetent. And in a world that's full of total incompetence, um, uh, uh, you're even kind of good. This is his new thing, which is interesting. Evil is efficient, therefore it's good. Like, he's been doing this for a while. It's kind of an interesting, I don't even hate it, to be honest, as a rationale. His point was, the guy's like, what about that Gaza genocide? And Peter Thiel was like, you're not protesting Lockheed because their shit doesn't work. My shit's good. Palantir's weapons are good. So even if you're evil, you're not incompetent. And in a world with so much incompetence, maybe you're actually good. So I kind of, like it a little bit, you know, I'm I'm, I, it's a fun way to contextualize it. Kind of fun. It's a fun entrance point into the way he looks at things. He's like, yeah, well, evil is efficient. And evil works. So you could say, oh, he's evil. Oh, I'm evil? Well, you're only calling me evil because the things I'm doing are effective. And by the virtue of the fact that so much is not effective, and so much of this world's a shit show, I'm actually good. And it's kind of that logic you almost can't argue with. You're just kind of like, right. It's tough to argue with. It's such a leap he makes. But I like it a little bit. I don't love it in the, in the, you know, the application of it, the killing, of course. But the logic of it is kind of interesting. It's interesting logic. He's got an interesting mind the way he says that. He's like, evil, huh? How about efficient and not wasting anybody's time? You're like, Well, wait a minute He's like, I can kill more people in more places In more ways than anyone else Somebody goes, that's evil He goes, but it's not boring I guess I guess So I guess it's good Oh, yeah, well, right on Cool, man Hey, I'm picking up what you're putting down I like the cut of your jib That's the thing with him You're not protesting the other guys You know why? Their missiles don't kill the way ours do They leave some kids alive We leave it all on the field, literally, arms and legs Let's see Trump Try to get Trump Because Trump was very calm about this loss Kind of interesting He was like, we'll all learn from each other And what's great about the con You've got to realize what a great con artist does It's all about the pivot It's all about the pivot You always have to pivot There's a great scene in Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross Which I'm not going to play Because we're going to get demonetized Where Jack Lemmon's character We played it on the show the other day Where the guy's like, hey, my wife My wife's out to dinner with friends And Jack Lemmon's like, I'll sit down And we'll talk about this parcel of real estate He goes, hey, she's out to dinner with friends And Jack Lemmon's like, well, you know what? I'll go back to the office I'll get another parcel We'll go over there together And we'll talk to her friends, too It's like such desperation The con is always about the pivot My old manager Who I love I have an affection for But would often do this Like, I remember when I did my first Netflix thing It was a collection of 15-minute specials That all these comedians would have And they would all fight to get you In the first one or two Because after that, you know It was like attrition People didn't keep watching Because it was like, one special, next special All these mini little specials And my manager said, we're getting you in the first one or two You did great And then he called me He goes, alright, so listen He goes, you're last I call him last He goes, but the good news is It looks like everybody's opening for you It's all It's all about the pivot You walk it up to the edge And then when it doesn't work You go, you didn't want it anyway You didn't want it anyway We didn't need it It's actually a good thing that it happened This is actually a blessing in disguise Don't worry about it That's what a good con does And Trump is nothing if not a good con He was a better con He's losing a little bit But let's see Let's see the Donald Trump response to the midterms And I think the The Democrats did a good job I really do I think they did a good job They fought hard They were You know, they've been fighting for a long time They've been fighting me for a long time This fight's been going on For ages You know, I started in Really, if you look at it I've been doing it for 12 years with them And I've come up on top all the time It's been done before As you know, numerous times It's a power of veto It's one of the stronger powers that a president has And they'll send over things That are insane And I'll veto them And after a couple of months of vetoes They'll call and they'll say How do we get this stuff done? And we'll work together I have a lot of friends that are Democrats Believe it or not Well, he's getting wistful now He's like, we've been doing this for ages They've been fighting me a long time It's a big show for him It's a show It's like a show It's a show And this one didn't go his way So he's kind of being Very graceful and classy about it But right up until that He was like, I'll go to Israel And be their prime minister Fuck you, if you don't vote for me Then he was like, I'll give you all five grand If you vote for me, which I personally loved Because everyone gets five grand if you vote for me It's completely illegal Congress wouldn't fund it He can't do it, whatever It was just a fun thing to do It was a fun thing to trot out It was a fun thing to float You want five G's? Eh, I'd vote for me It was just a fun thing to do It was just complete, like You know, it was complete, like Unpresidential, beyond belief, illegal And, uh And then, so he's playing hardball Up until the loss And then once the writing is on the wall Then there's really nowhere for him to go So he just kind of goes He's kind of like Now, can you get Vance's response? Vance went on X and wrote this whole thing Vance was like, this Iran war is what did it It's like, hey, hey buddy Duh I mean, Vance's political aspirations Are not in the greatest place right now Yeah, let's just get a quote up from him He, um, that one'll do The reason we lost is the war If you'd like Well, here's the great thing that he does He, what I like about him It's, you know He talks like he did That he's not part of this He always separates himself He becomes a politician He's a podcaster When things go wrong He immediately switches to a podcaster He starts doing my job Like, now, I'm not saying he was You know, leading the charge on the war In fact, I know for a fact And it's been reported that He was a skeptic of the war But he is part of the administration That went to war So, and which he's kind of supported Like, he's gone out and talked about Well, you know, Trump's been very clear Now I get it He could have resigned He didn't He's doing this I get it You know, that being said It is funny that when things don't go well He becomes a podcaster He switches from like I'm an active member of the government To like, kind of an observer And he did it with the Epstein file So here, here again The reason we lost is the war If you'd like to argue it was worth it That losing the Senate for the next six years Was worth it Then do so Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay Agree or disagree That's at least honest But everyone knows why we lost Yes I agree with you You are correct You, that is why you lost I like that The reason we lost Like, you know Well, he's trying to now Separate himself from Trump He's trying to go Listen, hey guys The reason we lost is this motherfucking war Morgan & Morgan is America's largest personal injury law firm My favorite thing about them Their fee is free Unless they win You're taking on no risk Morgan & Morgan has over 100 offices nationwide More than 1,000 lawyers With over $30 billion recovered For over 500,000 clients Morgan & Morgan has a proven track record Of fighting to get you full And fair compensation If you're injured by the negligence of another You deserve to be paid If you or a loved one is ever injured You can check out Morgan & Morgan Their fee is free Unless they win Go to forthepeople.com slash Tim That's F-O-R the people dot com slash Tim Or dial pound law From your phone Pound law from your phone This is a paid advertisement There's a guy you are right now And then there's a guy you know you could be Hims is built to close that gap Confidence is showing up ready Not second guessing yourself In the moments that matter most Hims makes it simple to get personalized treatment plans For better sex life 100% online Answer a few questions and connect With a licensed provider to get started Be prepared Be strong Be confident Be him Ready to be him?

Get me to the motherland, please. Get me to Saudi Arabia. Stop firing me. Let's look at James Tallarico's acceptance speech. I like this guy. He's that elf. And here's the deal. People are like, he's weird. He's a creep or whatever. Everyone's got creep, aren't they, folks? Isn't everyone a creep? People are mad. This is why they're mad at James Tallarico, okay? This is why they're mad at James Tallarico. Let's watch a little bit of him and then I'll tell you. We just proved that all the money in the world is no match for the people of Texas. We just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love. Now, here's why they're mad. Pause it for a second. His wife is nine years old. And people are uncomfortable with that, but it's because he's also small and childlike. So it's not really pedophilia. It's childlike wonder. I'm kidding, of course. Good guy. He was on Rogan. Rogan was like, you should run for president. So all the people that are like, Rogan's going to leave Texas. Rogan had the dude on. He had the guy on. I didn't watch it, but I'm sure I saw a couple of clips. But they're going to, you know, they're going to try to, they're going to try to go with it and get the governor of Texas up. He knows, Gina, he knows him. It's a blue wave. It's a blue wave. Everybody gets really excited about all these things. People get really angry. But Texas went blue. And here's the thing about Texas, whether it's blue or red, whatever. Like, I mean, you know, folks, I love the people of Texas and God bless you. But, you know, if you're going to have, if it's going to become California, you might as well, you might as well get the ocean. I'm not saying it will, but if you still get the tax break there, but let's say they get really lax on the policies and it becomes a little bit like Cali, might as well get the avocados and the ocean. Here is the, this is the new governor of Texas, Gina. My faith in you never wavered. I have spoken to Governor Abbott. He called to congratulate me. He extended a generous offer to assist with the transition. I want to thank him and his family for their years of service to this great state. And now I stand before you humbled and grateful. Relax, take a breath. They're really bad with these speeches. It's really just. And in awe of the incredible grace and power of God and of Texas. God got involved in this one. God was like, we're turning Texas blue. God was like, listen, we're turning Texas blue. But there you have it, folks. It's a bloodbath. Republicans, the Democrats. Um, um, rip the skin off their face. And for all the reasons that I've outlined here tonight, truly. And, um, it's just what it is. This is what happens in American politics. Things swing one way, they swing the other way. And then everybody's like, you know, listen, if your life sucks now, it's probably not going to get that much better in the next two years. Sorry. Like, truly, you know, most people are looking for a political solution. And I hope, by the way, that these people make people's lives better. I hope so. I've been alive 42 years. They haven't yet. But I do think they've done certain things that have been beneficial. And I hope they continue to. But to me, the greater point is like, you know, you can't like put your faith exclusively in any politician to make your life better. life worth living. I know that a lot of people do that. I know that's a huge thing on both sides. And there's a lot of people that are paid to, you know, to like be shills and say whatever. I get it. I get it. Make your money, do whatever you want. But you do have to kind of like, you know, some of these people do great things. Some of them won't. Some of them will, some of them will be running around. Watch, watch. You will see a lot of these people are going to end up and you're going to go, I can't believe it. Why? Why? What happened? It's just because these are politicians. They say a lot. They get elected. They do far less. That's all of them. They all have agendas. And I'm not trying to blackmail people. If you're really excited about these results, good for you. Good for you. A lot of my friends are very excited about these results. They live in sheds. Good for you. Whatever makes you happy. I have friends that are like, I mean, they are like, oh my God, go over there to Threads. And these people are excited. And then they're literally going, I'm not even kidding. Then they'll be like, blue wave, burgers. And then they'll literally be like, hey, I'm stuck in another country. Can someone send me money? I didn't realize how much it costs to leave. I mean, literally that's what we're dealing with, with some of the people I know. But they're very happy about this. And I don't get in the way of anyone's happiness ever. I let people have their happiness. Good for you. I'm happy you're happy. And this will restore some balance because everything that this administration has done has been a complete and total disaster. And, and this is an American thing. It's an American thing to hate other people and want them to be put in jail and killed. That's an American thing. And that's what people are going on the social media going, you're dead. That's what they want. It's not like, now it's our turn. We're going to make everyone's life better. You'll see it go. We're going to, you're dead now. I'll kill you. That's the reaction people have. And that's what the right did when they want. It's just what we do. We don't go, you thought you were going to make everyone's life better. We're really going to make it better. We go, we're going to fucking kill your mother now. Okay. But that's what we do. That's who we are. It's not a, it's not a competition to see whose ideas are better and how we can make the country stronger. It's a competition to see who will win and then win. And that's what we do. We don't go, It's an enjoyable thing. It's a fun thing, and it's a nice thing. It's a nice thing. It's not real. It doesn't ever happen. People say it, and then they just go to Dunkin' Donuts. Just go to Dunkin' Donuts. Get the little hash brown. But it's just what it is. But it's a very American response to have when you've won to get angrier. Only in America, when you win, do you get madder. You're actually angrier when you've won. You're happy, but you're angrier. Your rage is, you get angrier. It's such an American thing. You would think if you won in America, you'd go, Well, I won. My side won. That other side lost. Now our side's going to do good things. You know? But that's not what we do. As soon as we win, we go, We've won. Round them up. Round them up. Round them up. Round them up. So, and it's just what we do. It's never going to change. People want to kill other people. They disagree with them. They want them in jail. They want them dead. You know, they want to light their homes on fire. And it is an American thing. It should, and it's beautiful. And I've learned to love it. I've learned to love it. You should not look for anything other than that. You should not look for grace. You know, Trump's given some of it, you know. But he's doing the con. It's the pivot. It's the pivot. You lost. Writing's on the wall. You lost. Pivot. Pivot. Boom. Sidestep. Step to the left. Step to the right. In. Boom. And, you know, I think he's getting a little tired. The con's wearing a little bit thin. You know, but he said, We've been fighting for a long time. It's a show. It's all a show for them. You know, it's like Putin when he was talking to Tucker. Putin was like, you know, yeah, you know, CIA, you tried to get in that, you know. They were serious people, of course, you know. They were our enemies. He's like looking back wistfully on the old days. You know, you kidnap us, we kidnap you. You poison us, we poison you. It's the game. And Trump's kind of looking back. Ah, they've been fighting me for a long time. It keeps him alive. Keeps him alive. Keeps him alive. It keeps him alive. Threatening to nuke other countries. And starting like these tiny little civil wars. It keeps him alive. When you are older, you have to have something keeping you going. And he uses the hatred of many people the world over as an energy source. And I kind of respect it. He uses the absolute and utter sheer hatred of so many people. How many witches have hexed him? I mean, it's like they're fake. Whatever. Like, how many people have tried to kill the guy? How many people just hate him? And the bile. And it's well-deserved. I'm not saying he doesn't bring it on himself. But like, he uses it as a power source. And today he was still, he was just kind of like, his power was low today. The fuel cell hadn't filled all the way up. So he was kind of like, yeah, you know, he's like, they've been fighting me for a long time. They did good. They did good. He gave them their due. He goes, they did good tonight. You know, they did good. They came out. They've been fighting me for a long time. You know, this has happened before. I wasn't on the ballot. He always distances himself. Had I been, we would have won, obviously. You know, and he will now try to figure out how exactly to respond to this. Now that he's kind of given them that moment strategically, he's strategic. He's strategic about it. He goes, yeah, I'm not going to yell and scream. I'm not going to make it into a big deal. Because if he makes it into a big, he's smart enough to know that if he goes out there, starts screaming and yelling, it becomes a bigger deal. He just goes, yeah, some people lost. I didn't lose. I didn't lose. I'm the president. So what? You're a senator. You're a congressman. I'm the president. And he'll fire Pete Hegsat. That's coming. He'll just start firing people now. He'll fire them. He'll blame it on them. He'll blackmail them. He'll back in their names. He'll expose things about them. He'll leak information about them. He'll embarrass them in front of their families and their children. He'll destroy their reputations. He'll give them a place in history that's terrible. He'll blame the deaths of American servicemen and women on them, perhaps, like, rightfully so. He will engage in warfare with his own people now. And they're all ready for it. They all know it's coming. He's going to start throwing people. He's going to start throwing people off the boat now. And it's going to be very entertaining to watch. It's going to be a really powerful next few years. And I hope everyone, I wish everybody luck. I hope that there could be some peace in the country. There won't be. There's so much division. There's so much hatred. But that's who we are. Just who we are now. That's the other thing. It's who we are now. It's every holiday is just navigating around that. Every social environment, you know, environment. That it just hangs over it. I would love if that ended. It's not the way I grew up. That's not the way anybody in my generation grew up. Really? Everything wasn't about politics. And people didn't identify first and foremost as a political faction. They identified as a human. That's gone away. Maybe that'll come back. I don't know. But not right now. Not right now. Not right now. Right now is time for flesh. Flesh. Cheating. Because they deserve it. They deserve it. They won. And even Trump knows that. Trump's a. He respects the theater of it. You got to remember where he comes from. He comes from reality TV. He comes from The Apprentice. You're fired. A bunch of people just got fired. You know, things are happening. People are watching the show again. He's going to get enthused. People are kind of turning the show off. And now it's late in the season. But they found a story arc here that's gotten people engaged again. It's now, instead of just his party tearing it, this will be good for him. It's actually going to be good for him. Because for a while, it's internal fights, members of his own party, the neocons, the, you know, the America First crowd. They're eating each other. But now they've got Democrats to really, that have real power now. So now that he's going to be able to do what he does, which is fight. He wants to fight. He wants to fight. And he's dirty. They're dirty. Kushner, Don Jr., they're dirty. They've stolen a lot of money. And the Democrats probably have the goods on it. But that's a fun challenge, too. To know you've done it and then get away with it. That's a fun challenge, too. And he's gearing up for that because they're dirty. Like when his lawyer, Lena Haba, was selling pardons and he was like, well, you know, I told her that's not good. I'll do that. It was, I met with a few people. They're, they're, they're filthy. The whole administration is completely corrupt and, and dirty. That being said, this is a new season, a new era, a new day, a new beginning. And he's still the star. That's what's great about it. For him, a lot of other people are out, but it was never about them for him. It's not about the Republican Party for him. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about the Republican Party. He doesn't care about the Senate. He doesn't care about the Congress. He doesn't care about fucking, you know, pancake batter shoe woman who fucking walked onto a muddy field to hear him talk. These are all, you know, expendable. He cares about him. He's in the Trump business. And now he's going to. He's going to get to publicly defend his thieving ways and his thieving children. And that's a great use of his time on earth. A great use of the last few years of his time on earth will be to constantly dodge investigation to investigation. That's how he feels alive. It's a mafia Don. It's what he does. It's who he is. It's not building a wall. He's not curing anyone of cancer. Cut it out. He's here to just dodge investigation. Boom. Hit me. Crypto. Dodge it. Throw someone under the bus. He'll put his own son in jail. He'll put his own kid in jail. How great. This could be great. He's going to put his children in jail. He will put his children in jail and not visit them. This man will put his children in jail and not visit them. And then he will. I will. I'm back on the Trump train. When they ask him right before he leaves the White House, if he's visited Don Jr. in jail and his response is no, I haven't. No, I haven't. I'm back. I will follow him to the ends of the earth when his son is in jail and he doesn't visit him. I will follow him to the ends of the earth. There you have it. The midterms. podcast. All right.
