469 - Zohran’s Victory, Air Traffic Chaos, & Government Shutdown

34:27Tim Dillon:He hates that. I don't know where to take him. just please let me take this faggot to your castle. He wants to go. He wants to go to this castle. He doesn't want to go to Disney World. Look at this. And because he had a friend in Massachusetts and we visited them and then we went to this cat. I wanted to see the castle. I wanted to see, because I knew that I had to direct my family. Because my literal, my mother and father took me to a place once called the Enchanted Forest. This was like an amusement park in Canada. to look this up. I guarantee you they were trying to human traffic me. I guarantee you that's what they were trying to do because no one's even heard of this.

35:08Tim Dillon:It was like in Canada. Look how creepy this park is, by the way, if you can get this up. Yeah, here it is. They took me to this. I wanted to go to Disney World. They took me to this Satan festival in the park. Okay? This is a real thing. Look how creepy this is. They took me to this. they took me to this it was like this bootleg weird park okay and i guarantee you they were yeah this was like this was like a vacation so i had to start asking and telling my parents where i wanted to go i would look up you know things like i would read and i would they would there would be a mention like i'd read the new york new york magazine or something and there'd be a mention of a place and they'd be like blank blank met at the blantyre or met at wherever and then i would tell my parents because we didn't have the internet back then i'd go hey can we go to this i know you're both white trash but i'd like to go to this so occasionally they would take me to one of these places and they would go like and then they would walk in and my mother would walk in with like a, you know, a Mickey sweater on and my father would walk in and I was so deeply ashamed of them.

36:30Tim Dillon:So deeply ashamed of them. So, so deeply, deeply ashamed of them. And I would walk in behind them and I would look probably good. I had like a kind of an air to me. And, um, I remember once, one of the best times ever when I was a little kid, I was sitting in this literal, we're having lunch in this castle to plant her. And a woman walked in and she said, where's Maurice? And the guy went, oh, Maurice is out today. She goes, I've planned the whole thing with Maurice. I've planned this entire thing with Maurice. He goes, yeah, you know, everything's going to be exactly as you had it planned, but he's just not in today.

37:08Tim Dillon:And then the woman went, call him, call him. And he goes, oh, it gets his day off. The woman goes, call Maurice. And me and my father thought that was hilarious. Cause number one, when you're poor, like I was and my father was, nothing's better than seeing another poor person abused. That is the greatest feeling in life. If you have a day off from getting abused, seeing another loser get abused is great. Number two, I immediately knew that I wanted to be in a place like that because I found it very, It was a moment of beauty to me. Everyone says that movie Rudy is really inspiring, which I get.

37:54Tim Dillon:But to me, that was very inspiring when she said, call Maurice. Call Maurice! Where the fuck is he? It's the day of the event. Where is he? I've planned the whole thing with him. And I found that really inspiring. I said, that's kind of a beautiful, moment there between different types of people and everyone doing, and it was kind of beautiful. Now, of course, the commies in the audience get mad at that because they think they should be the one planning the event. Sorry. But there was something beautiful there about that woman. I knew immediately that that woman wasn't happier than the waiter.

38:41Tim Dillon:she wasn't her life wasn't necessarily better because she had more money um her material concerns were better but her life was not necessarily happier and it might not it didn't have more value than that waiter but in that moment i understood that this woman for whatever reason wanted to these she just wanted Maurice she didn't care about anything else it was a level of focus as a child my family's never had my family never had any focus my mother and father would try they would like my dad would be like we're gonna jog every morning I'd say okay we do it one time one time and then like three months later we would walk one other time there was no focus my mother didn't have any focus they would get distracted by like food pizza they get distracted no focus and the focus at the blantard castle that i remember is this woman go where is maurice straight lock eyes with the guy where is he i planned it with him he's not in today but i planned it with him well everything will be the same call him i want to talk to i want to hear why he's not in.

40:05Tim Dillon:I want to hear the sound of his voice. Focus. Tunnel video. There was something beautiful about that. And as a young child, to me, that is still my best vacation. That's the vacation I enjoyed the most. Because I got to see that. Who gives a fuck? I've done Batman the ride. Who cares? What is that? Who cares? Okay? That was a moment that I'll always remember my entire life when a woman had had enough and she wanted Maurice. And I sat there and my father kind of giggled as he like ate his soup. And he goes, he goes, they're not, she's not playing around. He said that to me. He goes, he goes, she's not playing around.

40:52Tim Dillon:And even he knew, he knew that she wasn't fucking around, you know? And my father, one thing that I've always been proud about of my father is that he always, he never pretended that our family unit was something it wasn't. He always was like, listen, those people are in that part of the world because they're not slobs. We are disgusting and lazy, slovenly bums. That's my family. That's a photo of everyone in my family right there. With a cane and a top hat. Because we're Irish. And the Irish are just to talk and to bullshit and to make jokes. Okay? There's other groups of people that have it more together.

41:47Who knows who they are?

41:50Tim Dillon:Arabs and Jews, perhaps. Chinese. Those are guesses. This January, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship takes over the ocean.

43:58Tim Dillon:But what was I even I don't even know the point here But the point is that I'm just saying that like Why did this guy die with his kid? My father never said Let's go ziplining He would say to me We're slobs and we're nothing You understand that? And I go yeah of course I do He goes, they don't even, this is a serious place. These are serious people. These are real people. Daniel Owen, 47 and his 15-year-old son Cooper were swarmed and stung more than 100 times while they were ziplining at an eco-adventure resort near Luang Prabang on the Mekong River in Laos on October 15. This is why rich, I know some rich people now and all they do is bullshit like this.

44:44Tim Dillon:all they do is shit like this to get their jollies they do very dangerous stuff they sail around the world some of them fight in the Ukraine war whatever it is they are bored so they're always doing death defying stunts and now here's the great thing about what Trump's done to the country now a death defying stunt is just sitting on a Delta flight on a runway waiting and hoping you don't have to go to Laos okay You don't have to get stung by a bunch of bees. You just hope and pray while you're sitting on a runway that your flight is not launched into another United plane because everybody's exhausted and tired and they've had enough, which is why we need volunteer air traffic controllers to come in.

45:39Tim Dillon:and so can we play some of this christy gnome uh repost disturbing ai generated music video about self-deportation this is the uh homeland security by the way and by the way cash patel defending his girlfriend going she's actually a great singer we're we're gonna go to that too uh the administration is a reality show that's what it was designed to be and the reason it's designed to be that is because behind the scenes they're plotting, I believe, to destroy the world. But let's see. Chris, you know.

46:18Yahoo!

46:20Tim Dillon:God bless our deportations. Self-deportations, come on.

46:33Tim Dillon:Self-deportations, come on There's an option just for you, the path is clear Self-deportation, no longer living fear We'll help you back your things, we'll pay for your flight too We're gonna celebrate your departure with you, come on now

46:58Tim Dillon:Stop it for a minute. Does this seem like a serious government? I'm just asking. I'm just asking here. Does this seem like a serious government? Does it seem like these people are serious, capable people that are figuring out ways to, or does this seem kind of like a joke? does it feel a little bit like you're being trolled by these people it does feel a little bit like that go to cash patel's tweet about his girlfriend and how she's such a great singer and and and and he's sick of people making fun of her and i mean obviously she's not dating cash for any other reason other than the fact that there's she's getting something out of it i don't know what that is i'm all for transactional relationships i prefer you know to not date people that are potential spies, but who knows?

47:53Tim Dillon:We don't know. Maybe she's not. Maybe she's not. Part of the issue with the Trump team is that half the administration and the people that are around that believe that America needs an aristocracy, that we need to get rid of democracy, and we need to just elevate a group of elite aristocrats to run the country. and that's the Yarvin types. And there are a lot of big donors that are coming into play. There's a guy whose name I'm escaping. It's Chris Ruskirk or something. And Bannon, who's kind of on the other side, is going, I hate this tech oligarchy. I hate them. And I don't want anything to do with them and they scare me, but they have all the money.

48:44Tim Dillon:So half of the Trump administration is people that are genuinely going, what can we do to tank the economy, crater it, and then build it back our way? How do we usher in a surveillance state that's more draconian even than the one we have now? How do we eliminate any constitutional checks and balances on what we want to do? They believe the American government has failed and they want to replace it now. That's a lot of the tech people that are in Washington, D.C. And I know a lot about a lot of them. And this is, and you can too, by the way, it's pretty easy to look up. This isn't like hidden.

49:26Tim Dillon:That's a substantial power faction within that administration. People that want to get rid of the American government and replace it with an AI government or a straight-up oligarchy of tech feudalists who don't believe in representative government, they believe in buying you off with crypto, which will be biometrically linked to you when you're born. You know, it'll be like your eyes blink and you've got however much crypto they think you need to survive because there's not going to be any jobs. These are the conversations that they're having. The jobs are going to go away. And then what are you going to do with all these people?

50:19Tim Dillon:Well, you need to surveil them. You need to find a way to give the money. But I don't think you're going to be traveling. I don't want you traveling. They've even said that. Larry Fink has come out and said, hey, folks, we're in the period where all these assets are being tokenized. It's all going on the blockchain. and, you know, we're beginning a massive transformation of the economy. You could call it the fourth industrial revolution, but it is a massive transformation of the existing economy. So you have guys like Larry Fink, and Connor, get up that thing where the guy says, I don't know if we've played it on the show before, where he goes, you may travel.

51:02Tim Dillon:If you're a rich person, you may travel, but if you're a poor person, you might travel from your house. You might put on some VR goggles, sit on your couch, and that's how you're going to travel. So all of this chaos is ultimately good for that contingent of people in Washington, D.C. and Silicon Valley and other places as well. One of these big donors is from Ohio, and they want you to sit in your house. They don't want you on a plane. They don't want you going anywhere. And they're counting down to when you have no job. And they're trying to figure out how to keep you from storming the fucking federal court or the governor's mansion or whatever when you have nothing.

51:56Tim Dillon:This is all, none of this is like some wacky conspiracy far out thing. This is generally meetings behind closed doors in Washington, D.C. People going, what do we do with them? Let's watch this. People of means who are going to travel. And then there's going to be people maybe of lesser means who might actually be able to use an Oculus or a Magic Leap or some other kind of device to travel to the same place but from their own couch. But in many ways, it's actually going to create even more distance between those two people that psychologically. Yeah, they go, that's the point. They're all staring at him going, that's the point.

52:40Tim Dillon:That's the point. He goes, now, in many ways, that will create actually more distance. And then there's four people, if you're listening to this, there's four people at the World Economic Forum staring at him going, right. it's like a doctor going so now if you take this osempic you might lose weight they go right doctor that's why we're doing that so these four people are staring at who is this andrew ross sorkin yeah yeah so there's four people that are staring at him and he's like actually and this is how out of it the journalists are by the way he's like so now the guy they might be traveling to the same place one of them has an oculus and they're sitting on their couch and one of them's actually going and that's actually going to create more distance of course it is why are you even saying it like it's a shock one guy's on his couch of course it is he's like that so if you're in stade skiing and there's a guy on his couch thinking he's skiing you're actually living two different lives yes andrew that is the point that is all we've ever cared about all these people they're so close to getting what they've actually always wanted, which is that you're literally, you're happy to just live in Netflix.

53:56Tim Dillon:That's all they want, by the way. All they want is you to live in Netflix. Look at me. I'm in Breaking Bad. I'm Walter White. That's all they want. Once they allow you to live in a complete reality that they've created, they get the world. They don't have to see your face anymore. That's that woman from that cast. I want to speak to Maurice. Well, I've planned it all with Maurice. Call him. Call Maurice. But that's what they're looking to do. Back to Kash Patel here. Kash Patel, okay, this is the director of the FBI. And I know, like, Candace covered this. I was actually on the phone with her.

54:37Tim Dillon:I talked about this. The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis. a true patriot and the woman I'm proud to call my partner in life are beyond pathetic. She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in 10 lifetimes. By the way, by the way, how could that even possibly be true? But go on. I'm so blessed she's in my life. Can we get any of her music up or will we get a copyright strike from the FBI? If we play Kash Patel's girlfriend's country music, will we get a copyright strike from the feds? Because I'm curious, by the way, if she's a country music sensation, I would just like to know that.

55:22Tim Dillon:I would like to know that. I'd like to be... I think if we just play a little bit, it'll be okay. Okay.

55:40Back when old school was mainstream Radio was always clean People read their news and angst Steel guitar was on everything Folks lined up to hear a straight sing Rockets down on the king Drop a needle down on a vine A window's down just driving four miles It feels like it's been a while

56:04Tim Dillon:He is right out! They're like, no, no, hold on You didn't get the lyrics? You didn't get the lyrics. Tel Aviv. I've been in Tel Aviv. It's such a pretty sea. I love Tel Aviv. Israel is for me. I love Kashmir Patel. Indians don't smell. That's a stereotype. I'm just a country star. I met him at a bar. I'm not a homicide plant. Why would you say that? Why would you say that? There's lots of files in the office It's impossible to say which ones are Jeffries Let it go She releases a song Let it go Cause we're proud Americans We're concerned with our families We don't need to see no files Mind your own business Mind your own business that's a cash uh patel um girlfriend uh god bless her and her music maybe go over to calci.com and bet on when do you think that how long do you think the government shut down will last many people i know think it'll go to thanksgiving how fucked up is that Um, that's fucked.

58:03I bought it from Carvana. You what? Yeah, great price. I even have seven days to love it or return it. So there's no... No, no buyer's remorse. More like buyer's rejoice. I guess I'll let myself out. Congratulations. I mean it. Buyer's rejoice. Buy your car today on Carvana. Limitations and exclusions may apply. See our seven-day return policy at Carvana.com.

58:25Tim Dillon:Study finds nearly half of all LGBTQ plus characters will disappear from TV next season due to series cancellations. Well, here's what happened. people started to get stuff on TV just because it showcased a gay, lesbian, transgender, non-binary storyline some of the greatest characters in TV and movie history have been gay, lesbian, blah, blah, trans but if you're getting projects on the air simply because you have a diverse character or storyline that you're shoehorning into something it's going to suck people are not going to watch it and a lot of them are going to get canceled. This is what happened.

59:04Tim Dillon:We had an era when people just wanted to paint by numbers and they wanted to check boxes and they would say, let's get this show on because this show's about, you know, whatever, one-legged Palestinian, non-binary barista or whatever, you know, which I would watch that. That actually does sound good, like a one-legged Palestinian kind of wheeling into a Brooklyn coffee shop and then falls in love with a Jewish woman. That I will watch. But many of it isn't good. Many of them aren't good. So I think what's happening right now is that there's a kind of a detente, hopefully, in the sense that people are no longer trying to force these shows if they totally suck.

59:57Tim Dillon:That doesn't mean also that there isn't a pendulum swing. There's always pendulum swings. Now, the Republicans now, the only one who seems to get it, as crazy as he might be, is Steve Bannon, who goes, no, no, no, we're in deep trouble.

1:00:13Tim Dillon:Bannon is talking about that, and he's telling the people on his side of the aisle they're in real trouble because the pendulum is now swinging back to economic concerns. The Republican Party is talking about shit nobody cares about. and it's infighting, it's squabbling, it's all this stuff, and the Democrats are ascendant. Because, by the way, why not? No one's life is better since Trump took office, by the way. So at the end of the day, it's like, why not have an economic focus? I don't agree with a lot of his public safety shit, and I hope the city doesn't get completely insane, but I don't think it will.

1:00:54Tim Dillon:but you're going to see a lot of people. Yeah, let's watch Bannon here because again, something interesting about this guy, whether you love him, hate him, you find him dangerous. I don't love all this stuff about like, oh, Trump's running again and all this stuff. And by the way, he keeps talking about, oh, this Trump's a generational leader. Yeah, but under Trump, we've seen a massive coverup of a child sex trafficking ring. we've seen um you know we've not seen the thriving economy that we saw in the first term we've seen very sloppy immigration enforcement inhumane and cruel raids that by the way ultimately will get democrats elected so number one the reason to not like the raids if you're if you're a person the reason to not like them is because they're inhumane and a lot of them are barbaric some of them are necessary and some of these people have done fucked up things and are criminals and some people are breaking the law and need to go home and some people that even aren't criminals that have been here however long, maybe it's a few years or whatever the case may be, need to be deported like they would be in any other country on earth.

1:02:01Tim Dillon:But the way that they're being carried out, you know, Christine Noem reposting these AI videos, the needless cruelty, the unprofessionalism, the ICE agents in the Halloween mask, all this stuff. Democrats are getting elected And will continue to get elected So if you're on the right You look at this and you go This has done nothing ultimately For border security will ultimately hurt it If you care about a secure border Which the Democrats probably don't It's not part of their platform Really Now if they're smart and they make it part of their platform I think they'll easily win But again I tell all these people What to do no one does what I want so everyone gets what they get.

1:02:43Tim Dillon:It's fine. And I get it. Who's listening to me? You're not going to always listen to me. That's fine. But Bannon kind of gets what's happening maybe on a cellular level that other people don't. Most people in America are not ideologues. The Republicans are captured right now by ideology. A lot of cerebral discourse on the future of America and the role of women in the this and the that. people are really focused on their pocketbooks, their money. People are not going to go back to the 1950s. It's not going to happen. This is a fantasy. And these guys want to go back to the Pax Romana. These people want like the Catholic Inquisition.

1:03:23Tim Dillon:That's not going to happen in America. Sane, sober-minded people are never going to support that, nor should they. It's the fantasy of people that spend most of their days online. But what Americans will do, They will elect people that will make the material considerations of their lives better. And Bannon knows that. And that's why Trump won. Trump won because of a cratering economy. People are looking at immigration going, it's out of control. Money's going abroad. Our kids don't have a future. Those were Republican issues and they've lost them. Let's see Bannon here. And I will tell you right now, as God is my witness, If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

1:04:08Tim Dillon:He kind of likes jail. He's always talking about going to jail, but go on. They're not going to stop. They're getting more and more and more radical. And we have to counter that. And what do we have to counter it with? We have to counter it with more action, more intense action, more urgency. We're burning daylight. If you look across every aspect of this, we have to codify what President Trump has done by executive order. Right. We we have to codify it. And people say, well, they're just going to be messing. We got to we've got to put aside these structural barriers and get on with it. He understood what's interesting about this guy.

1:04:53Tim Dillon:He understands that. And again, you could love him or hate him. And I don't hate him, but I'm also, I think he's like, he's a force. He's like a chaos. He's a force of chaos. But he's very interesting to listen to. And I had him on the show. I interviewed him. And what he understands about the country is he does understand there's forces that are trying to tear it apart all the time. Not just every four years or occasionally. And he knows some of those forces are embedded in the administration. I've talked to him about it privately. He knows, and publicly, he said it. He knows that a lot of forces in and around the administration are trying to steer it into a techno-utopian society where the rights of an American citizen are essentially meaningless.

1:05:51Tim Dillon:They don't matter. They are not, you know, they're not the principle by which society is built. Society is built in this new version with a huge emphasis on efficiency and people's rights getting trampled on. and people's ability to live freely is going to be diminished to serve the greater goal of this transformation of society. Go to Larry Fink and get the tokenization of assets up. I want to, and I don't know if we have the video of that or if it's just a quote from him, but there might be a video and they're talking about the transformation of the world economy, the global economy.

1:06:52Tim Dillon:And the whole entire thing is, there's two parts to it. There's the financial part, which is, you know, I don't understand. And I'm not an expert and I'm not going to pretend to be. And I'm not going to explain to you how that's all going to work. But the other part of that is going to be the power, The power, how power is exercised in society and who has it and and what they're willing to do. This is the I believe this is Larry Fink, who is the CEO of BlackRock. Larry Fink, friend of the show. Larry Fink, everyone. I do believe we're just at the beginning of the tokenization of all assets from real estate to equity, the bond across the board.

1:07:41There's$4.1 trillion of money in Citi globally in digital wallets. A lot of that money is outside the United States. If we could tokenize an ETF, digitize that ETF, we could have investors who are just beginning to invest in markets through, let's say, crypto. They're investing in it, but now we could get them into the more traditional long-term retirement products. So we look at that as the next wave of opportunity for BlackRock over the next tens of years as we start focusing on moving away from traditional financial assets by repotting them in a digital manner and then having people stay in that digital ecosystem.

1:08:26Right.

1:08:28Tim Dillon:Well, here's the thing. It's kind of like a soft fascism where you don't need a gun in your head because you can get they can turn you off. So you can get put in jail for a social media post. They can turn the money supply off that you have. They have a digital ID. They can mandate, you know, if it's a vaccination or if it's a carbon passport and allow you to travel. they're gearing up for the next phase, which will be a, I've always said it will be climate related. And I still think that's a huge part of it where they will kind of limit travel. They will talk about carbon emissions. This is, they're doing this all over the world.

1:09:14Tim Dillon:They took a little bit. And I, and I think part of the immigration, the reason that they flooded societies with immigration, Number one, you can look at, obviously, people like Angela Merkel that just want to be Time Magazine's Person of the Year. And people want to seem like they're on the right side and all of that. But one of the reasons that they have made and will continue to make societies more chaotic is because the more chaos that's present in a society, the easier it's going to be to get people to accept the next phase of what's coming. that's pretty obvious so if you know all of your neighbors and you all work and have a great life and are thriving and you're all looking out for each other and by the way you're not all the same race or religion but there's a shared understanding of the values that you all have and you're living in a community and by the way I'm now describing communities you have to be a multi-millionaire to live in by the way Those regular Gilmore Girls American communities that everybody dreamed about, those communities now are places like the Hamptons, the Sag Harbor, or whatever.

1:10:31Tim Dillon:These little cute towns in Westchester, New York, or somewhere in the South. And, you know, but these are expensive. and the very basic things that I'm talking about are now they cost an arm and a leg and most people are priced out of that. So most people are living in very large cities or kind of urban areas. They don't really know anybody and that's fun when you're young and fun if you're old and rich, but less fun if you're middle-aged and you don't have a ton of money. It's less fun to live in a box in Brooklyn. the first 20 minutes of the episode. But then you look around at the surrounding suburbs and a lot of them have been completely destroyed.

1:11:20Tim Dillon:So the reason that you would do that and you wouldn't care about the culture of a country is if you were about to completely rebuild it from the ground up, completely restructure it. If you didn't, if you wanted less hurdles to that, you'd make people poor you'd make them broke you would make their communities into not they wouldn't be desirable places to live you would flood the country with different groups of people who didn't have a lot in common so that all of those people could never get together and oppose the things you want to do you'd make people pretty desperate you'd get rid of education standards you would you know hollow out people's uh financial standing they wouldn't be able to retire obviously we've had a broken health care system forever all of that would be done wittingly or unwittingly but it unwittingly seems odd it's a hell of a coincidence that all of this has happened and now the next phase will be the every single problem that i just described the solution is going to be participation in the next phase and if you resist you'll be able to resist you're not going to come and show up to your house and put guns in your face yet, but you're just not going to get any of the things.

1:13:05Tim Dillon:So all of the things and the goodies and the creature comforts that you may want are going to come with a price. And the price is going to be, you're going to now get on the grid in a serious major way. And if you refuse that, you can go live in a, you know, you could go live in a, in a, in a, in a, in a failing town that's infrastructure is crumbling that we put no money into. But if you want to live in the city, the 15 minute city where you can walk and get stuff and you want a little job and it's a part-time job, you got to do the things. You got to get the digital ID. You got to, you know, you're going to have to submit to all these background checks and mental health scans and everything like that to make sure that you are not any type of problem.

1:13:56Tim Dillon:That's coming and we can see it. And there's two phases of that. There's many phases, but the main two are the transformation of the economy and then the transformation of the political and cultural environment. And there are elements of the Trump administration and elements of their donors and funders that are pushing this to an unbelievable degree. And they want it to happen now they want it to happen now they want the rollout to start sooner and if jd vance wants a political future he's gonna have to come out and either distance himself from these people or talk about what exactly his vision is he's gonna have to break with trump on some things and because the people that I'm talking about, and we all know who they are, obviously, it's companies like Palantir, but it's not only them, by the way.

1:14:57Tim Dillon:It's not only them. There's a lot of companies, and there's a lot of donors that believe this stuff too, and they're connected to Trump, and some of them helped them win.

1:15:12Tim Dillon:So this is where we're at right now, and if you think I'm wrong, you could say I'm wrong. I'm not wrong. I mean, okay. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'd love to be wrong. I'd love to go, well, I was wrong about that. But it's very obvious that this government shutdown is only good for people that are sitting in the back going massive dysfunction will require a massive response that will be nothing like you've ever seen. It will be different than anything that's come before. And there are elements of that community, the tech community, the big money donors that believe there needs to be an aristocracy, that the American government is kind of an outdated, archaic, broken thing, and that it needs to be replaced and people don't care about democracy.

1:16:13Tim Dillon:They just want food, shelter, housing, things. That's all they want. That's all they care about. They don't want rights. They don't want the freedom to say things or do things. They just want a standard of living. And if you give them that, they're going to be okay with it. They'll be okay with everything you do. They're not going to ask too many questions. So

1:16:43Tim Dillon:I never went down a zip line with my father In Laos I never did it I never did it I never did it But from a very young age I made my parents take me on the types of vacations Where I could observe the types of people That I met later in life That I'm talking about right now on this show Hopefully In another dimension That poor kid who died Is going to be an expert On zip lines Or bugs Or louse Or rivers Or something Or anti-venom Because I became an expert Because my father took me to a castle And a woman said I planned everything with Maurice and call him. And by the way, the people in D.C. have planned everything with Maurice.

1:17:43Tim Dillon:And they're calling him right now. Good luck.
