498 - Backrooms, Spencer Pratt, & The D’Amelio Family Disaster

29:19Tim Dillon:Oh my God, what? Hit the Irishman with a stick. That was their job for 200 years. Hit the Irish drunk with a stick. Back him down and then put him back in his slum. now we want them to consider the historical and demographic context of different communities and suspects, rather than utilizing an entirely colorblind approach. So these cops show up on the thing. They got a Sikh and a white kid bleeding out. The Sikh goes, this white kid's being a racist. Now, they can't doubt that. They have to agree with the Sikh. All right, let's watch this. It is depressing because, what is this? The kid's dying, right?

30:07Tim Dillon:This is sad. Yeah, this is the body cam footage. All right, this is body cam footage. So we are going to watch this, but don't put an ad right after this because someone will get pissed. It's very hard to watch somebody bleed out and then try to sell fucking, you know, Bluetooth or whatever the fuck we're selling on this goddamn. Put it on.

30:28Tim Dillon:R.I.P. to everyone, by the way. This is the body cam footage of this. Here we are. What's your name, mate? What's your name, Mike? Has anyone been hurt other than him? See, stop it for a minute. Can you tell how dumb the cops are already? Has anyone been hurt other than him? The cops are drunk. The cops are scamping. Do you know how dumb... Can you imagine... The guy that you just heard in this video, can you imagine asking him, is he considering the framework, The historical framework of what happened What historical framework Someone got knifed It happens every day It's not about the historical framework But think about that As you listen to this call Anybody other than him What's going on over there love Hey bruv What'd you do You got a little You got a little Got a little excited with the blind I think I slip into Australian You know when I do a British Like that I do slip into an Australian accent Which Now people are going to say Are you breaking up this death video To do bits Here's the thing folks The kid's already dead A Sikh did With a ceremonial life But my thing is this Think of how dumb these cops I mean they're real retards over there to cops They're dumb They're dumb here They're dumb in most places Not all cops By the way, there's cops that listen to this show.

32:01Tim Dillon:You are brilliant. You're the smartest people in the world. I'm not talking to you. If you listen to this show and you buy the products and the ads and you like and subscribe and tell your friends about the show and you help the show move up the charts, I am obviously not speaking about you. But the people you hate at work, those idiots who don't listen to me, who listen to other people, it's them. They're the fucking problem and we both know that. But we're asking these lug head, empty head cops in the UK, whose entire job for 200 years was just beating drunks in the street with a club. That's what they would do.

32:42Tim Dillon:That's their whole job. They had a row at a pub. Someone has a row at a pub. Somebody gets thrown through a window. And then they come in and they start hitting that guy with the club. and then they bring him to the jail. Now we're asking them to, well, can you assess the cultural ramifications of the, what? What are you talking about? Okay, let's play the rest of this, please, here. Let's treat this sensitively, folks. Grab my brother. He's took my turban off. So I grabbed my head. Are you injured? Yeah, yeah, I've got swollen eye, little bruises. All right, just step back a little bit for me.

33:19Someone flag these down.

33:24Right, let's get you out of there, shall we?

33:27Tim Dillon:By the way, I'm going to use this the next time I'm in the UK and somebody's like, Mr. Dillon, did you smoke a cigarette in the room? I'm going to go, someone took my turban. Why don't you focus on that? Focus on someone who just stole my turban.

33:44Grab his upper arm.

33:51What's happened to you, right? You've been stabbed? Whereabouts? I don't think you have, mate.

33:59Tim Dillon:I don't think you have. See? So immediately, the cops, who are... Which is a hilarious thing to lie about being stabbed. There is just something... Now, I guess drunk people lie about everything, but there is just something funny about going like, I've been stabbed, and then they lift up your shirt, and you're not stabbed and you just shrug and you're like, gotcha. So this guy goes, I've been stabbed. And they go, I don't think you have. So their initial reaction is to go, I don't think you've been stabbed, mate. Mate. I don't think you've been stabbed. I wish this was all with the northern accents.

34:34Tim Dillon:I love the northern accents where they're like, brekkie, I eat my brekkie. Mordor. That's like that SD kid from Liverpool. I like the Scouse accent. Like, bach. Take a bach. Take a bach. You ever see that show, Adolescence? They're like, Jamie, why you? That's a fun show, that Adolescence. It's about this kid who's inspired by Andrew Tate to carve a bitch up in a parking lot. Now, it was a little heavy, but the acting's phenomenal. Now, it's a little heavy-handed on the messaging. Like, it's a little like there's a part in it where they're like, why did you stab this girl? And the kid's like, well, I was listening to Joe Rugen.

35:14Tim Dillon:I was listening to Joe Rugen. And I'll go down a rabbit hole. And I found Andrew Tye. And then from Andrew Tye. It's like, it's a little heavy handed with the messaging there. But it's phenomenal acting. And it's great acting. But I do like that northern accent. So I would prefer this death video to be in that sort of dialect. But let's see a little bit more of it. I don't want to be ghoulish and keep watching it, but so this is what people are upset about over there because this kid goes, hey, I've been stabbed, and the cop goes, no, you haven't. Because the cop looks at him, he's a white kid, the cop's like, you're probably fibbing, I have to believe this, seek.

35:58Tim Dillon:Go on.

36:05Hand?

36:09Put the hand in the cuff, mate.

36:11Tim Dillon:Yeah, so I mean, all right, this is ghoulish. get out of here we don't want to watch this but so they're cuffing this dead kid on the ground so now obviously the two reactions to this are let's attack random brown people obviously wrong wrong bad not good we don't want to start doing that um that's terrible that's anti-civilization that's violence that's insane that's what we all know this and then the other response to it is uh from like the polite society people is to ignore it completely and to go it actually doesn't mean anything. There's no meaning to be found in this one. There's meaning to be found in every other thing, but not this one.

36:49Tim Dillon:Like, so you go in London and people are very terrified there of offending anyone. Not everyone. But a lot of people. Like, I asked a comic to open for me. I did a couple of shows there. Sweet kid. Nice kid. But he was like, oh, oh, oh. And he was like, well, one night I have a funeral and the next night I have a show. And so, but again, because here's the deal. These people, there's no real internet stuff going on over there. You work for the BBC. If the BBC calls you a racist, you starve in the street and you die. People there, they're 10 years behind us. They read tabloids in the supermarket.

37:21Tim Dillon:They watch what's on the tube. They watch BBC, what's on the telly. They like rules. They like regular. And I'm not saying that we're great, by the way. Every week I say we're not great. But I will say that what they are used to over there is much more of a top-down paramilitary type of like overt system of customs, laws, rules. Some of those things are nice. Some of them are quaint. Some of them seem a little silly in 2026. But all of them inspire a sense of compliance a little bit in the public. and those people tend to be a little afraid like they're stunned in America that we can kind of say what we want wherever we want and that we get paid to do it.

38:11Tim Dillon:That is not the way that happens over there. Now it doesn't mean that you have brilliant comedians there. Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr and a lot of people and I'm not saying people are getting arrested for making an off-color joke but what I am saying is there is much more social pressure in that system currently to have the quote-unquote right opinion than there is in the United States because we had that 2020 moment six years ago. They're having it now. Not directly attributable to this case. I just mean like the dam is breaking. People are a little sick of not being able to discuss things that are actually happening around them and they feel that they are being stymied by a system of customs and, you know, requirements that none of them signed up for.

38:58Tim Dillon:And the way that they have to conduct these conversations in polite society, they feel like they have been limited and they're getting sick of that. So they are basically, the dam is breaking because that's the thing. When you try to shut people up, it will work for a period of time. And then you have to start killing them. You actually have to start killing people because people's mouths are so big. And it's what most people do. Most people just talk. Some people fight. Some people like, you know, go rowing. Some people jog up a hill. Some people use drugs. But most people, the predominant thing they do in their life is talk.

39:43Tim Dillon:That is what they do. That's the muscle that gets used the most. That's what people do. So when you shut that off or guilt people into doing it a certain way or try to control it, it will never work forever. Then you have to move in and kill them. You have to do two things with a mouth. Buy them or kill them. You have to buy them off or kill them. So that's basically where Britain is right now. I loved my time in London. I was there 21 days. We missed last week. And I appreciate it. I like it there. It's an important place. A lot of my, listen, I went to France for a few days. I love that. Italy, south of France are more beautiful.

40:21Tim Dillon:Food's better, whatever. They're not interesting and they don't matter. South of France and Italy are just not interesting and they don't matter. London's interesting. It's one of the oldest societies in the world. One of the other ones, Beirut, is getting destroyed right now by Israel, a country whose commitment to peace is, I gotta be honest, a little questionable. But Britain is one of the oldest civilized societies in the world. There's many others. I'm not, you're saying that because they're white. No, it's just one of the oldest. And they've been around a long time. London's an amazing city.

40:53Tim Dillon:It's cosmopolitan. It's global. But the tension points of that culture and the way and the benefits of it, the things where they do things a lot better than we do, are interesting to see in the things where they don't do things as well as I think we do. Those are interesting things for me to observe and to think about. And I talked to a lot of people there that do, that are starting to admit. And I saw Pierce, of course, we had a lot of fun on his show, Pierce Morgan. But they are admitting that there's some issues there. And I don't know. I mean, this guy got sentenced. This Digwa guy who stabbed that kid in RIP.

41:30Tim Dillon:That kid's parents came out and said, we don't want this to be the cause of riots. We don't want, you know, but whatever. I mean, in the sense that, like, it's, I don't know that that, you know. It doesn't matter. There's always the person who's, usually when somebody dies, a person comes out and goes, let's not, guys, let's not. You know? He wouldn't have wanted this. And people just don't care. That's not why they're doing it. They're not rioting to honor him. They're rioting to riot. That's why people riot. But, so they do have some issues there. For a limited time, you can get a Big Mac meal for just$8.

42:09Tim Dillon:That's a burger, fries and a drink. They don't call it an extra value meal for nothing. Get a Big Mac meal only at McDonald's. Price and participation may vary. Promotion pricing may be lower than meal pricing. Andy and Anna here from your new favourite podcast, No Such Thing as a Fish.

43:03Tim Dillon:One of the stories I read over there, because I do remember in, speaking of 2020, 20, I do remember living in LA and the TikTokers were running the city. All the older celebrities were scared of, of getting bad press for going out. And the young TikTokers didn't care. They were like 16. They would, you'd be at a restaurant and you'd see like these mobs of children. You didn't know who they were, but they were all millionaires. And some waitress would have to explain to them what Brene's sauce was. And it was terribly embarrassing because all those waiters and waitresses had moved to LA to be actors.

43:32Tim Dillon:And of course, because of the pandemic, they, you You know, they couldn't get any work. And then the only people that were making any money were these kids doing these dances on TikTok. Now this seems like ancient history, and it is. But the biggest of all of these people was Charli D 'Amelio and her sister Dixie D 'Amelio. They were the two biggest TikTokers of their generation. There were several others, Addison Rae, whatever. But the D 'Amelios symbolized the meteoric rise you could have on TikTok. Now, and we've talked about them before on the show a few times Their parents recently have been accused of stealing their money Stealing Charli D 'Amelio, who's the younger of the two sisters And was the more successful one I did not steal from my daughter, Charli D 'Amelio's dad Well, here's what I say to that, you cuck You should have You should have the D 'Amelio and yes of course he's probably stole from his daughter allegedly let's read a little bit Charlie D 'Amelio's dad is fighting back against claims millions of dollars were stolen from her account while under the watch of him and his wife report originally came from Dumas alleged the TikTok superstar became aware of the missing cash after her parents Mark and Heidi were supposed to have been removed from her account the gossip account also posted posted posted that the issue caused a rift in the family with Charlie's sister, Dixie, siding with their parents.

45:03Tim Dillon:Mark D 'Amelio said, no one called me for an interview. This is not true. We love Charlie, but she's being manipulated and I have the receipts. Over the last six years, we have remained silent and never addressed gossip, but the time has come to set the record straight. She's always had a team in place. Lawyers, a business manager, an agent. We purposely set it up that way. Not sure if you know anything about our family, but we were doing fine before TikTok. stock. Here's the deal.

45:29Tim Dillon:Here's the deal, folks. Here's the deal. This is what it is. When your children are famous, when your children get famous, you have every right. Listen to me out there. You have every right to steal their money. It is a time-honored tradition. It is the reason that your children are famous. It's so that you can steal their money. Your children are not. First of all, that lady, Ms. D 'Amelio, was not famous for any real reason. She was famous because a Chinese guy flipped the switch and she looked like the girl next door. And this is all kind of well-known now about what TikTok was and kind of is.

46:16Tim Dillon:And they created these things called icons in the beginning of TikTok to get people onto the site. and they chose people that had certain looks. And Charli D 'Amelio was a girl next door and she was a dancer and it was a dancing app and she got famous. And was she a hard worker? Sure, maybe. Is she a lovely person? Maybe she is. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm telling you right now, her parents were well within their rights to steal her money because she was famous for nothing. Easy come, easy go. and they... Okay, is this him talking about it? Yeah. Let's see this liar. Let's see this liar.

46:56Tim Dillon:By the way, I would have stolen her money if that bitch, I would have been like, she's famous for doing what now? She's making what for what? Our daughter's a multimillionaire. She's shaking her ass on TikTok for pedophiles. I'm stealing the money. I'm stealing the money. We're pimping our daughter out for fucking pedophiles on a Chinese dancing app. Yes, I'll be stealing the money. What is this, Masterpiece Theater? This is a disease. This app was a disease. It was like a weapon used against us, whatever it was. This whole idea, steal them. Now, this guy's a shady fuck. We've talked about him on the show before.

47:44Tim Dillon:The whole family's criminals. I met them one time. actually really liked them because of that. And he had every right, and in fact, dare I say responsibility, to steal money from his talentless children. When you are a parent of a successful child, you hate them. I'll say it again. I'll say it again, I'll say it again. When you are a parent of a successful child, you hate them. A part of you hates them. You're living vicariously through them. The oldest and greatest musical in our country, Gypsy, is about this thing. And Audra McDonald was brilliant in it. Now it's off and you'll never see it on Broadway.

48:24Tim Dillon:But the point is this. It is a long-held American tradition to try to live vicariously through your children. And when they make it, a part of you burns inside. Because even though you are happy for them, you are angry that it is not you on the stage. It is not you shaking your ass on a Chinese dancing app. It is not you that People Magazine wants to do the interview with. And you're like, but I raised her. She has my DNA. I'm the one that's interesting. I'm the one that's worked hard. So the only thing left you have to do at that point is to steal their money. That's why they steal all of their money.

49:00Tim Dillon:Because they hate their children. Not every part of them. But they get so successful. And then the parents, they have to do something. So in order to feel better about this, they steal their children's money. And I could not be more supportive of this. I believe in this. I defend this man. I wish he stole all of her money. I wish he stole it all and gave it to Israel. I wish he stole every dollar she earned. and gave it to Israel because they are committed to peace. By the way, they are committed. I've never seen a country as committed to peace as that country. Let's listen to this. Mark D 'Amelio, friend of the show, defending himself, I guess, against accusations that he stole his daughter's money.

49:58Tim Dillon:I would go the other way on this. I would go, her money's my money. She was a miner. She lived in my house. She was dancing on a Chinese app. I get her money and I get to decide what she makes. Mark DeBilleau. Hey, look. Someone just wrote another family. Stop it. Stop it right there. Everyone that starts, hey, look, is guilty. There is no hey, look. There is no innocent person in this country who starts a sentence with, hey, look. Hey, look. Hey, look. Hey, look. Play that again. Play those two words again, please. Hey, look. Someone just wrote. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, look. People have said I stole my daughter's money.

50:39Tim Dillon:Hey, look. What do you want me to do? She had money. It was in the bank. We don't even know why. We don't get it. The world went mad. They started giving these 16-year-olds money to do lip-syncing challenges. Yeah, I stole it. What do you think I'm going to do, not steal it? Let's hear him out. Another family ruined by fame. We're not ruined. I feel more normal now than I ever did. I'm just not going to let people lie. So a website that said, we... By the way, stop this video. I've never seen a guiltier person than this man. I have the laughing in the middle. He's like, we're not... I feel more normal now than I ever have.

51:26Tim Dillon:I mean, this guy is so incredibly guilty. Look at him. Look how much he enjoys stealing that money. Look at that face. Look how happy he is stealing that money. Why would you want him to not steal that money? She's still got enough money. It's fine. You know, here's the deal. It's a little selfish of Charli D 'Amelio to walk out on her parents just because they stole her money. She's the problem. She's the one who's destroying the family. She has enough money. She should just let her parents steal from her because it's the only thing that keeps them alive. The only thing that is keeping them alive and keeping them happy, the only thing that makes him feel like a man is stealing from his daughter.

52:09Tim Dillon:And the fact that she takes that away from him is disgusting. It's disgusting. The fact that she would ruin a family unit by calling him out on this publicly is disgusting. Let's finish here, please. It said, I forgot, it said something along the lines of, we took money and put it offshore. I don't even know how to do that. Okay. By the way, stop it. This is another thing that no one, people go there like, I wouldn't even know how to do it. What do you mean? What do you mean you wouldn't know how to do it? They're saying we put money offshore. I wouldn't even know how to do it. What does that even mean?

52:48Tim Dillon:You just go to the Cayman Islands, ask somebody. Take a flight to the Cayman Islands and sit there and go, how could we make some of this money to go to Switzerland? Go ask, what are you talking about? Ask another rich person. Ask a wealthy person. I wouldn't even know how to... I won't even... I don't even... Like, come on, dude. We got our own money. We're fine. This shit was never... Going through this process was never about money. It isn't. Stop it. He's right about that. It's not that they were destitute or needed her money. He was not stealing from her because he needed her money. He was stealing from her because it made him feel like a man.

53:28Tim Dillon:And it made him feel alive. and he hates his children because they are successful. And I respect and honor that. And I acknowledge that and that it is uncomfortable and painful. But many parents, including my own, hate their children because they are successful. And that's okay. It doesn't matter. I still love my parents. It doesn't matter. I don't begrudge them that feeling. But this man, it was never, he's right about that. See, that's when, when he goes, it's never about money. That's the only time he's telling the truth because it isn't. he didn't steal from her because he needed the money.

54:01Tim Dillon:He stole from her because he felt like it was the right thing to do. He felt undervalued. He resented her level of success and he stole her money because of that. And, and I am, I side with him and I, I, I, I, I, I say, I say a pox on his daughter, that witch who said, you stole my money. She should have quietly kept her mouth shut and said, I realize how important it is for my father to steal this money so he can feel alive. Play it. Having this crazy, awesome experience with my family and that's it. So the balance of being a dad when you're going through this, when your kids are making a lot of money, the hard part is.

54:42Not stealing from it. Like you see opportunity that I never had as a kid. Here it is. But I also saw the other dads. Here it is. You know, I heard about Michael Jackson's dad and these crazy dads that just push their kids. I never did that.

54:53Tim Dillon:Right. And you're like, why do they have any money? You're like, why? They always tell on themselves. Everyone tells on themselves. So what's happening here is he's confessing. This is a confession. He thinks it's a, this is what's hilarious. He thinks it's a denial. It's a confession. He thinks he's denying the charges. He's confessing to the crime. This is unbelievable. He's like, you know, you see these kids get famous. Here's the way, here's what, here's what an honest person does. or at least a smart person who's dishonest, right? Yeah, I hope her mental health is okay, and I hope she's not on any kind of drugs because she's clearly being manipulated by people, and I love her.

55:34Tim Dillon:She's my daughter and would love to talk to her whenever she wants to talk to me without cameras. Good night. That's when an honest, that's what somebody who's either not guilty does or someone who's guilty and smart. Here's what someone who's guilty and dumb does. You know, when your kids are famous, you see a lot of opportunities they had you didn't have, and you think of Michael Jackson's father and all these other fathers, they pushed your kids, you know, and I never did anything like that. So basically, where's mine? What do I get out of this? What do I get out of this? You know, I got a bunch of pedophiles jacking to my daughter and my underage daughter, and she's up there shaking her ass.

56:09Tim Dillon:And what am I supposed to get no money out of this? I'm supposed to get nothing out of this? Keep going here. Mark D 'Amelio, friend of the show. Businesses and things that gave them opportunity to do whatever they wanted went down the road, and that was it. And if I'm a bad guy for setting my kids up for success and putting them in places where they can make a lot of money, I mean, we're living the dream. That's it. By the way, stop it for a second. His daughter, this is how funny it is. His daughter is accusing him of stealing her money. He goes, we're living the dream. But this is the American dream.

56:42Tim Dillon:By the way, here's another thing I'm going to agree with him on. This is the American dream. The American dream is to prop up your talentless children and to do pedophiles into paying for their content and then to steal their money and then have them leave your house and grab lawyers and accuse you of stealing it. That is, by the way, it's kind of he's correct. He goes, we're living a dream. My daughter got famous on a Chinese app that was watched by pedophiles. She made a lot of money and I stole it. And now she left and she's suing me. And we're living the dream because he's right. That is the American dream.

57:18Tim Dillon:It's not, what do you think it is now? Owning a house, 2.5 kids, white picket fence, get real. This is the only dream left. And he's right. That's why he's not really upset. He's not really upset about any of this. It's kind of unfa - he's not fazed by it. He's not upset his daughter's accusing him of stealing money. He thinks it's funny. He kind of thinks it's funny. He's very cash about the whole thing. he's casual because the reality is he knows she's not famous for any goddamn reason. He knows that life's a horrific casino. There's children more talented than her that are being lit on fire in mass in Gaza right now because they were happened to be born there.

57:59Tim Dillon:And it's a horrific fact that kid Henry Noack just gets stabbed or whatever. I don't know. But like you put them in these positions. What position? You put her in a dance class? Shut up. She got famous and that's okay. It's all created equal. Talent is obviously not created equal, but whatever. She made her money. A lot of these TikTok kids were nice kids when I met them. You know, we'd go out to dinner and they'd be like, hey man, I'm a fan. They were nice. I never knew any of them that well, but they were all somewhat respectful kids. Some of them are mentally ill and have killed people, whatever.

58:26Tim Dillon:It's not my problem. As long as you were nice to me for a brief period of time, you're okay in my book. You're okay in my book, even if you're a murderer. So what's truly, if you are okay in my book, then it, that's my book. I get that book. You did other things, other people. So this guy is just basically saying, I stole my daughter's money because at the end of the day, what did you want me to do? What was I supposed to do? There's all this money around that my daughter has and I don't have and I want I can't get famous like she does. I can't shake my ass on the camera for money. I have to steal the money.

59:18Tim Dillon:That's because when is it my turn? You seen Gypsy? They should do an updated Gypsy. There's a show Gypsy about this woman whose daughter, Gypsy Rose Lee, becomes a burlesque dancer. She starts out in vaudeville and she's trying to make her daughter famous. And this woman is obsessed with making her daughter famous. Her daughter only gets famous as a burlesque dancer. And the penultimate song of this musical, these are all the people that doubt I'm gay, hear this. The penultimate song of the musical is, it's called Everything's Coming Up Roses, where this woman finally confronts that she's never going to be famous and her daughter doesn't need her anymore.

59:55Tim Dillon:and there's this really powerful song where she goes, what is it my turn? When do I get a dream for myself? And then she's like, it's going to be me. And she's like, you know, in this massive delusion where she thinks she's on stage and she's doing this whole thing. And this is Mark D 'Amelio. When is it my turn? My daughter entertained pedophiles on an app made by the Chinese. when do I get a dream for myself? And then at the end, everything's coming up roses. And that's Mark D 'Amelio. Everything's coming up roses. I stole all that bitch's money. Because he's right. This is the oldest dream in America is to live vicariously through your children, watch them be successful, and then hate them.

1:00:55Tim Dillon:It's just what it is.

1:01:23Wonderful. The world really wants them to exist. What about this one? When Ronald Reagan left office, he left a note on the White House lawn for the squirrels warning them to beware of George Bush's dogs. So there you go. If you like fascinating facts and much more besides, we are no such thing as a fish.

1:01:41Tim Dillon:Quickly, let's talk a little bit about another legacy, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, who I just get a good feeling from him. I don't know anyone else. Does anyone else just get a good feeling from Jared Kushner? I get a good feeling from Jared Kushner. I do. And so here's Ivanka Trump talking about a big project. And I've always said this about marriages. You need a project. I've said this. Whether it's a home renovation or, you know, looking at colleges for the kids. Whatever it is, you need a project as a married couple. Maybe you're restoring an old barn. The wife wants an art studio. You want a man cave?

1:02:23Tim Dillon:Whatever. You know, so Jared and Ivanka Trump are, I'm sorry. Yeah, Jared and Ivanka Trump are building a massive off the grid private island in the middle of the Mediterranean. Now you would think, hey, Epstein's thing, the files, it's probably a bad look to go do this right now. But who cares? The island spans 1400 hectares, hectares, and currently has no power. They'll be working with some of the world's greatest living architects to bring this vision of life. So people that voted for Trump, voted for Trump because he wanted to improve, or supposedly wanted to improve the economic quality of the lives of the average or ordinary working class American.

1:03:00Tim Dillon:He wanted to restore sanity to the immigration system. He wanted to get rid of the DEI, go back to more of a merit-based appraisal of people's talent because he thought, and I agree with him in the sense that DEI in and of itself is inherently un-American and it radicalizes people all over the place. And unfortunately, even though we're an imperfect society, we're certainly not colorblind, we do need to consider merit in the sense of how we assign value to people and their jobs. And so he was going to do all of this. He was going to help Americans afford groceries. And he was going to be more transparent about areas where the government might have been hiding things, 9-11, Epstein, whatever.

1:03:41Tim Dillon:None of that has happened. However, his daughter and her husband are building an island or they're building a, I don't know, I guess, resort. She's going to tell us what it is. But here's what I'll say. It's exciting. I'm excited by this. And I know that none of the other stuff happened, but at least this is something exciting. Here's Ivanka Trump, everyone. An incredible project with my husband in the Mediterranean. It's massive in scale. Yes. I think that's an understatement. Can you explain? It is. There's no power on this island. Whoa. You're building everything from scratch. Yes. Correct?

1:04:22It's an unbelievable, beautiful 1 ,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean. We were on a friend's boat, and we stopped for a swim. Effectively, that's how we found it. We swam to— Stop it for a minute. Here's the great thing about the czars, because they're czarists.

1:04:41Tim Dillon:They're czarists. and I have great respect for Russia I don't want to live there I'm not in love with Putin all the time I do think some of what he does is fun the bear going in those cold legs don't love all of their policies obviously wouldn't want to live there I'm kind of bummed that I can't get a direct flight there from a NATO country because I do want to try where they invented a chicken Kiev but I want to go to St. Petersburg and Moscow old society that has produced lots of literature Conservatives jerk it off because they're a little stupid and they don't really understand. It's like they pretend it's a religious society.

1:05:16Tim Dillon:It's like it was a communist society that forced atheism for years. But whatever, everything's fake and nothing matters. So it doesn't matter. So whatever, just whatever you want to do. You can believe anything you want to believe, but like, I don't think we should go to war with Russia. I don't think we should antagonize Russia. I think we should just leave it be and let me go there and have dinner. That being said, these are czarists, the Trump family that becomes right. They want you to know how much they don't live your life. And in the beginning, that was cute because it was honest. You know, when Trump got out there and he was like, this plane, they said it would take off and it didn't.

1:05:57Tim Dillon:You know, it was his own plane. And like, he was honest with people and they liked it because it was refreshing to hear a rich guy not pretend to be broke. Like when I go to these cities, I go to London and Paris, I'm fortunate enough because of people that listen to the show, I'm very grateful that I can stay in nice hotels. And whenever I stay in a nice hotel, inevitably I'm confronted with somebody who goes, yeah, but that's like not the real London. That's like not the real Paris. I'm like, that's right. That's correct. I don't want to see the real London or the real Paris. Maybe I'll walk through it, but I don't care.

1:06:31Tim Dillon:There is no real London or real Paris anymore Those are just rich kids LARPing as something they're not Let's just go to where the rich people Don't pretend to be anything but rich Let's cut it out I need to go hang out in some hipster suburb So let me just hang out with their parents Let me have fucking tea with their parents Why do I need to hang out with them? Why? Because they posted something Progressive on the internet I forget how rich they fucking are There is no real Oh you gotta see the real London The real London is that kid getting stabbed. I don't want to go to that. That wasn't in London, but it's a little outside of it.

1:07:07Tim Dillon:But, like, that's the real, what is the real anything? No, I want to see where people don't pretend to be anything other than what it is. In the beginning, when the Trumps emerged, the fact, and Donald, these people are nothing. They mean nothing. They're the runoff of a dynasty. But like he was honest with people and it made them like him because he did not pretend to be in any way relatable. He was an egotistical maniac who told people, nobody does it like me. You know, when this concert, he's going to do this concert to celebrate America's 250th anniversary and all these acts pulled out. He goes, let's just replace him with the greatest act of all time.

1:07:51Tim Dillon:The guy who filled more seats than Elvis in his prime and did it without a guitar. Donald J. Trump. Like, he's a czarist. He's still that guy. But now that people are broke and he's selling the government off for parts and no one cares, it's not cute anymore. It's not fun anymore. Because everybody was like, we want him to be our czar. Even me. I was like, what a great movie. the rich scumbag becomes the rich scumbag of the people what a movie the leader of america is never gonna be not a rich scumbag i'm 41 i didn't grow up in another country i know who we are and i know what this thing is and i know what it's always been well you're naive no you thought sanders was gonna win you fucked hard you're naive he got sandbagged by his own fucking people They were never going to let him win.

1:08:45Tim Dillon:I just thought maybe there was a chance that the rich scumbag liar was going to do it for us. There was that chance. Maybe that's how the movie ended. Now, it was not. I'll admit that. But that belief was as patriotic as I could get. There was this patriotic as I knew you like Obama because he went on talk shows. and he was a cerebral contemplative guy, but they locked up a lot of whistleblowers and threw a lot of people out of their houses and deported a lot of people, but you don't give a shit because Jimmy Kimmel didn't talk about it, you moron. But I thought maybe this rich scumbag could have been the rich scumbag for America, but he was not.

1:09:35Tim Dillon:He's for Israel. He's for Qatar if they give him a plane. These people are talking about an island in the Mediterranean. We're going to let her finish, but keep in mind as you listen to the rest of this, how little they, go watch that movie Melania if you think, you know, it's just her walking out of a G6, G5 plane, going to Palm Beach. The first 15 minutes are her getting fitted for an outfit. They want to sell you the way that Russia did for many years, the greatness and the glory of the state. And they are the state. We have the hottest country in the world. What that means when he says that is that my family is getting rich and you live vicariously through us.

1:10:17Tim Dillon:You know, he wants, he's turning us all into Mark D 'Amelio. He wants us all to be Mark D 'Amelio, sitting there looking at another person, get all the fame, get all the money. Take a look here. Let's let Ivanka finish up. Wham to the islands. We went on a hike barefoot all the way up to the top, and we were just captivated. And it stayed with us ever since. And over the course of many years, we developed the opportunity to help realize its potential and transform it, but with a lot of restraint and care because the land is so beautiful. By the way, stop it for a minute. This is causing riots in Albania.

1:11:02Tim Dillon:They're rioting over this. They're burning down the head of Albania. They just burned down that guy's house. What, he's the prime minister or the leader or something? The president? What is he? I don't know. I think it was the president's house. Yeah, they just burned down his house because they were like, we've had enough of this. So we're not going to watch the rest of it. We know what she's saying. We get it. Rich people are just buying islands, and we're doing it with care. We're doing it with so much care because they're there. Here's what, folks. This is what that means. They're getting out.

1:11:34if they can't get on a spaceship off the country,

1:11:39Tim Dillon:they're going to the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside Sazan Island, the Albanian ex-military base that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner want to turn into a luxury resort. The data centers, by the way, you dummies, are not prisons for people that did the vaccine, you QAnon retards. They are data centers, and they're going to try to take your livelihood. The other thing is they're probably not building a luxury resort. They're going to build something that looks like a luxury resort and then live in it when there's a nuclear war. And that's what it is. They want you to root for them. They want you to be excited for them and happy for them because they made it out.

1:12:20Tim Dillon:Rich people are probably not going to be able to get off the planet before it inevitably emollients. But they are going to flee to the middle of the ocean if they can. Nevertheless, Cezanne has already been dubbed Trump Island by angry locals who have made their displeasure and reported a deal clear Below we take a closer look at the island with its 3 ,600 nuclear bunkers, unexploded weapons, bomb shelters, and miles of tunnels So here's the reality Everybody's preparing Everybody's preparing From Spencer Pratt To Mark D 'Amelio Everybody's doing what they have to do He's lifting, taking a little bit off the top, skimming from his daughter and Jared and Ivanka have decided to buy a nuclear bunker in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea because they know something's coming.

1:13:09Tim Dillon:They don't only know it's coming, they're making it happen. That's the thing. They're not sitting in the dark. They know that all of this tension eventually boils over. The Henry Nowak stuff, the affordability crisis in America, the food, the cost of oil in the next six months things are going to skyrocket and make this an unlivable place financially and your only way out if you're in America your only way out you better hope your kid can shake their ass on a Chinese dancing app for money or if you're Spencer Pratt you better grab the gas can good luck Andy and Anna here from your new favourite podcast, No Such Thing As A Fish.
