505 - Andrew Tate, A Socialist Makeover, & The Demise Of Red Robin

33:37Tim Dillon:Life's too short. I'll call you whatever you want. I really speak to six people. So I don't, I'll call anyone anything. And I usually only speak about myself. So I don't really address people by their pronouns because I usually don't address people at all or ask them questions about themselves because it's usually really uninteresting. I speak mainly about myself and I speak in ideas sort of like Caesar, where I will have lunch with someone and then just talk. I barely look at them. I just kind of talk out almost like at the rest of the restaurant. So there's no real worry here in that I'm going to be impolite and offend someone.

34:14Tim Dillon:But some of these DSA people are just not camera ready. They haven't done the work. They're not media trained. And this is a great example. Ashley Webb running to replace Graham Plattner. Here she is, Miss America. Roll tape. Ashley Webb, what qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. Senate? Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but I did run. And then I'm a songwriter. And then I write my own books. And then I suppose my transparency, I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people. Okay. Well, again, you got to watch this a little bit on YouTube, too, because there is a visual component to this that is, you know, even the audio, though, is pretty damning.

35:03Tim Dillon:This woman, this lass, this lady, our gal pal, Ashley Webb, not ready for the. So that's what the DSA is going to have to do. They're going to have to get their candidates camera ready because America is, if nothing else, a production. Our country is a production. It is produced. And what you need to do is find some media trainers. You need publicists. You need a vocal coach. You need a stylist. You need a makeup artist. You need a therapist. You need a debate coach. You need a PR person. You need an agent, a manager. You might need a business manager. You need a social media manager. You might need a Reiki healer.

35:57Tim Dillon:You need a spiritual advisor. You need a gender specialist. You need a lot of people. You need someone to sage the room. You need a lot of people to come in here and get these candidates because some of what they're talking about, I'm all on board with. Get people health care, get them jobs, whatever. But if you people think you're going to have any hope or any chance, you need to wrestle control of that organization back from the freak show. in the same way that people on the far right are going to need to do that because you can't keep nominating like Hitler loving women hating psychopaths who want to like burn down every institution in America that isn't some like revival church that they come from where they're also raping people most likely.

36:54Tim Dillon:But you can't nominate the Tate brothers either. You understand what I mean? Like you can't nominate clavicular for the Senate, the far right. I know they would like to do that. They would like to nominate clavicular. And the far left wants to nominate this person. But here's what we need to do. It's a production. Take a little lesson from Hollywood. America's not going to, you're not going to change America overnight from what it has been for the last couple of hundred years. We are a produced country. It is a production. And you need to put these people, this woman needs to go through a car wash.

37:32Tim Dillon:this woman needs to go through a full-on car wash. There needs to be 15 professional dog groomers on her. You need to get them on her. Put her in a car. Put her in a carrier. Put this woman in a carrier. Zip it up. She's going to the groomer. Take her to the vet. And I'll tell you right now, if you don't do that, you're not going to win. take this bitch to the animal hospital and figure it out and it has nothing to do with her gender it has to do with her appearance and the way she is speaking which disturbs me the dsa's got a lot of hot tranny boom bannies i'm sure of that you put a nice hot asian tranny up there spouting some marxism daddy's all ears i don't know what the fuck this is and no one does so put her in a van, take her to the car wash, make her walk through it.

38:29Tim Dillon:Like Cersei from Game of Thrones at the second of last season or last season, I forget. She should walk through the town square and everybody should shampoo her enough already. I'm a singer and I'm a songwriter. Enough, enough, enough so that's a little PSA and I don't even agree with the DSA a lot so here's my little tidbit for you free advice from someone who doesn't really agree with a lot of your shit agrees with some of it get a hold on what the hell's going on you know how much you know how Lindsey Graham's sister do you know how many pre-interviews she did before they sat her down with Hannity they told her exactly what to say tell them you prayed on it and it is what lindsey would have wanted tell them you know it's gonna be difficult but you're gonna rise to the occasion tell them that let's finish her interview because by the way she at least you know is is is is doing the bullshit they've always done it's not working as well because nothing does.

39:45Tim Dillon:You can't run the same. This is the problem right now with our country, by the way. We are in need of new scams, like badly. You cannot run the same scam for 100 fucking years. People get hip to it and they need a new scam. Lie to people in a new way. Put work into it. You can't completely just The same bullshit I prayed and God said Kill them all That's what I'm here to do You can't just keep falling back On this folksy bullshit People are seeing through this People understand what you're doing When it's time to scale your business It's time for Shopify Get everything you need to grow the way you want Like all the way Stack more sales with the best converting checkout on the planet.

40:57Tim Dillon:These chain restaurants like Red Robin are failing. Get up, Red Robin. And by the way, it's sad because these Americana chain restaurants were part of my childhood. Not as much Red Robin, but TGI Friday's was like a central pillar of my childhood. TGI Friday's, you know, I wasn't an Applebee's kid, but I'm just naming restaurants. Applebee's, Red Lobster, Chili's. Chili's has seemed to survive because Gen Z's kind of ironically given Chili's another lease on life because Chili's are some irony. There's some like, you know, nostalgia mining going on at Chili's. Nostalgia maxing at Chili's. People, for whatever reason, like to go to Chili's because it gives them that, it's like a fun, you know, kind of a bullshit example of Americana, whatever.

41:47Tim Dillon:And I like Chili's. No hate on Chili's. But the rest of these things are going belly up. And they're going belly up quick because, you know why? People have realized that's not food. You got away with it for a long time, giving people things that looked like food and smelled like food, but were just chemical sludge. And then eventually people go, oh, these restaurants have been buried in a sea of documentaries, in education, people getting smarter. People go, hey man, we know what this is. It's not food. it's fun it's hot it's if we're drunk and that's what it was for many years you were kind of buzzed and you were like all right yeah i'm buzzed on a wednesday i'm buzzed and i'm gonna have this thing i'm gonna eat this fishamajig that was one of the things at friendlies was a fish sandwich but like i'm gonna go to bennegan's and have the turkey o'toole or go to tj friday's and have the Jack Daniels strips, which were very good.

42:57Tim Dillon:But again, none of this is food. It's a circus. And by the way, it lasted for decades. It lasted for decades. People would go into those restaurants, my family included, and they were fun and they were packed and there was a lot of people there and they were eating the three-for-alls and they were eating the Big Mouth burgers. I want a burger. And they were eating the, you know, I think at the end of Fridays, they had something called the Bucket of Bones, which was just ribs and French fries in a bucket. It's called the, get that a Bucket of Bones, TGI Fridays. They still may have it. There's only a few Fridays left.

43:35Tim Dillon:But near the end of that, this is what they were serving. Yeah, yeah, there you go. The Bucket of Bones. Come on in for the Bucket of Bones. Pork ribs blasted in our signature sauce. bone-in wings, seasoned fries. Yeah, it was in a bucket. It was a bucket of shit. And again, this isn't good quality stuff. They buy this in bulk and it's preservative-laden shit that's meant to last forever if it needs to. If there's a soft month, it sits there until you come back in the next month and eat it. And all of those theme restaurants were based on the idea that it was fun. It was a blast. You were going to have a good time.

44:27Tim Dillon:And the food was whatever it was. I'm drinking coffee from the Starbucks box because I brought the Starbucks box into the, and I'm now the milk's going everywhere. They give you this milk. We really live in hell. and I'm going to use this plush lobster to wipe up all of the coffee and the milk that just spilled and then I'm going to throw this lobster in the garbage. And that's the way we're going to handle it. But Red Robin trims his flock. Burger chain closes another restaurant in a shakeup that could see 50 shuttered. Yeah, they're on the way out. They're on the way out. This was a scam for years.

45:07Tim Dillon:It was a fun scam. Not all scams are bad, by the way. people the word scam has gotten a negative connotation but not all scams are bad this was a scam it was like what if we told them this was food and then they were like i guess we could do that and go yeah we'll fucking we'll put like tennis rackets on the wall and a bunch of silly hats and we'll and they'll come in and we'll get them drunk and it will serve them a pencil bites or so it's fine what do they care and it and it was by the way it was fine it was good nothing was better than going to TGI Fridays as a young kid and eating at TGI Fridays.

45:43Tim Dillon:Right, brownie obsession? Tostado nachos? Yes, thank you very much. But here's the deal. We're a morbidly obese country right now. We are looking at why. One of the reasons why is the food we eat is industrial waste. It doesn't matter how much memorabilia you put on the walls or how many fun snow globes you litter around a restaurant or whatever the hell you do. Whatever fun old timey posters you throw up in there to give people the idea that it's a fun it is a factory of chemical waste and industrial sludge that is what red robin is red robin closed because people know right now that taking your children to these restaurants is guaranteeing them a horrible life.

46:34Tim Dillon:If I walk my child into this den of sin and I feed them burgers and brownies and fucking wings drenched in chemicals, they're going to be a fat pig and their life is going to be tough and it's going to be hard and their health is going to decline rapidly. So things like Red Robin, the jig is up. The scam has ended. You have to be terribly, terribly abusive to your children. I'm not talking about you take them there every once in a while. You're on a vacation. It's a rest stop. There's something there. But to take them there, the way our parents took us to these places would be abuse. To take your children to fast food or fast casual, whatever this is called, family dining.

47:29Tim Dillon:They target lower income to middle income families and they exploit the need for a family without a lot of time to need to feed their children and you bring them into these restaurants and these restaurants, now they look old and haggard, but when they were hot. They looked fun and cool. But we are now looking back and we have an epidemic of diabetes. We have heart disease. We have a lot of problems in this country. And we turn around and we're looking at these types of restaurants. We're looking at Red Lobster. We're looking at Fridays. We're looking at Chili's. We're looking at IHOP. Sorry. We're looking at Waffle House.

48:21Tim Dillon:All of these restaurants, the American diet went under the microscope over the last few years and now your children are going to have to get injected with drugs to just remain a normal size. And why? Because of this. So I know it's really sad that people are losing their jobs. I never want to see people lose a job at a place because I know there's a lot of people that work at Red Robin, okay? And a lot of people are probably mad if they listen to this. Shut up, you fat fuck. What should we do? I get it. I stand with you. But you need to find a new scam. Because these theme restaurants where parents unload a station wagon of fatties to get sticky with this chemical sludge is not going to work.

49:18Tim Dillon:People are too hip for it. It's not going to work. Okay? this because people would they would just rather go to the fast casual to jersey bikes and stuff like that and you know what happens to those restaurants torches tacos at recently private equity buys those restaurants and ruins them and and and by the way they're not great restaurants to begin with but private equity like the blackstone group steve schwartzman all those guys they go in to jersey bikes and go every cut the portion size and and start using less of the things, don't pack it with the vegetables anymore. They start fucking you over.

49:58Tim Dillon:And I'm not saying you have to eat the whole Jersey Mike. Sometimes people would eat half of it and then bring the other half home. They'd get two meals out of it. Blackstone Group don't want that. You don't get two meals out of the footlong anymore. They're shrinking the portions and the food's not as good and they're cutting corners and they're moving to kiosks so you don't see a human being when you walk in. That's what private equity's doing. They're going hey, it's bare minimum. You're going to be treated like you're in prison. That's what private equity does. They buy a company that's in the food service space, whatever, hospitality, and they go, how about you're treated like a prisoner?

50:43Tim Dillon:We're going to determine, like Israel does for Gaza, the exact calorie amount you need to live, and that's what we're going to do. that's how we're going to roll here at the new Jersey Mike's private equity version where you're treated like a prisoner and you're going to order it a kiosk. And then a disinterested central American who does not speak English and doesn't know where they are is going to, and I'm they're lovely people, but they're going to hand you a shitty sandwich and you will eat it in your car so that the executives of Blackstone can buy a 17th house in a country you've never heard of to go live in when the great war comes so that's where we're at now with a lot of these restaurants it is it is cut cut the costs trim the operating expenses bring in the robots and make it because they go it's all monopolies and you don't have any choice and And it's, Joe, what are you going to do?

51:46Tim Dillon:Where are you going to go? There's not a sandwich shop like a mom and pop. They're out of business. You want a sandwich, you're going to Jersey Mike's or you're going to a grocery store making it yourself. So if you're on a break at work, you got to go to Jersey Mike's and we're just going to feed you like you're in prison. And there's nothing you can do about it. And we're going to make it shittier and shittier and shittier and shittier. And we're going to take people out of it. We're going to put in kiosks. and we're going to staff it with people that got to the country 10 minutes ago and none of them will speak the language.

52:19Tim Dillon:And again, it's not their fault because they're here and they were brought in so that your kid can't do that job. They're brought in so that your child who just got his working papers or her working papers, they can't do that job. So now they're in a mall parking lot filming someone's death. a Central American migrant is handing you a sandwich that was made to get Steve Schwartzman a 19th house, you know, and that's the way we're going to run our country. And that's it. And you'll eat your shitty Jersey Mike sandwich in a car and you'll order it at a kiosk. And that's what we're going to do. That's all.

53:06Tim Dillon:And if you, like my father worked at Lowe's when he was getting divorced from my mother. My father got a side job at Lowe's. The store. People work at things like this, by the way. There's this idea that, like, everyone doesn't do that. People have those jobs. I don't know when this idea happened in our country that, like, nobody would have a job like that. People had those jobs. My dad worked at Lowe's, the home improvement store, while he was getting divorced from my mother because he needed to pick up extra money. And he got a job at Lowe's. He got a job working at Lowe's. And those are the people, I am certain of it, that are the people that claim to love them, hate them.

53:57Tim Dillon:The people that claim to care about those people on the left and the right, by the way, the people that claim to care about people that are working in an hourly wage job at a place like Lowe's, their lives are the ones that get worse. Their lives are the ones we don't care about. If you're eating caviar off a potato chip in Marty's Vineyard with your pussy on the street, we love you. But if you are working at a job trying to help an elderly housewife figure out something that she needs to buy, we don't care about you. We go at you every way we can. We will take the jobs. We'll also say, if you want to have lunch, we've got private equity company owns that.

54:43Tim Dillon:And you'll eat like you're in prison because you are. And that's the way we feel. But these family sludge factories, like Red Robin, the Tower of Onion Rings shit is going away. it's going away and it's sad it is sad it's sad let's yeah let's watch by the way look at this i want you to look for a minute at this will be studied historically it will be studied where they go what happened here what happened there's a lovely looking woman whose name is Maya, a little ethnically ambiguous. We love that for her. This is a Red Robin commercial. She is walking out with two stacks of what it looks like five cheeseburgers on top of each other, each of them with two patties on it, and they're sliders, but they're the size of a burger that you would eat in Europe and then not eat again for six, seven hours.

55:51Tim Dillon:But there's 10 of them, and they are appetizers. They are sent to the table before your actual burger. Red Robin's kind of a burger restaurant. So what they, there are towers of sliders. What do you think you're ordering after that? A chicken Caesar salad? No, another burger, a bigger burger with more shit on it. Now, Red Robin's got burgers with guacamole and barbecue sauce and blue cheese. And it's just like, it never stops. But they start you off with towers of burgers, little burgers to get ready for the bigger burger. And this is no longer, like if you're sitting there and you have a little bit of an overweight child, you have a child that's exhibiting the tendency to be a little overweight and you're sitting there.

56:42Tim Dillon:And I was this child, so don't talk to me like I don't know what I'm talking about. You're sitting there and the waitress puts down the tower of burgers and the little fatty's eyes light up, you realize you're his pusher. You're his drug dealer. You're his drug dealer. He's getting excited about food and fat and sugar. And I'm not saying you shouldn't like food or love food or appreciate food. Many people in the world don't have it. but this disgusting pornography at the table of just burgers stacked on top of each other you're teaching your children that food is some type of circus where their job is to be impressed and wowed and bowled over by the fact that the food doesn't even look like food it looks inhuman it looks like some type of strange fucking you know thing that would come to you in a dream it's a cartoon it's like these Dagwood sandwiches you know it like it is a novelty item that's not food it's frankenfood it's a novelty item and it hits the table and if you're a parent and you see your fat little child grab one of the burgers and start wolfing it down his face if you have any conscience if you have any conscience any decency, you go, this is bad.

58:18Tim Dillon:This is wrong. I'm killing you. I'm killing you. Let's watch the rest of this commercial.

58:31Are those the towering sliders?

58:39Tim Dillon:Everyone needs it. Now let me describe the commercial. The commercial is a waitress running around with these slider towers and people in the restaurant begin to attack her to get the food. Is that not what the commercial is? Yeah. So the commercial is she's walking with these slider towers and everyone in the restaurant gets up and starts to try to physically maim her to get them. So get that out of here. But my point is that scams can only run a certain amount of time before you have to move on from them. You know, this model scout for Jeffrey Epstein found dead in his home near Pratt. Maybe this is why J.D.

59:24Tim Dillon:Vansky, like, and these guys keep downplaying this. They're still killing people. Maybe I should shut my mouth. They're still killing motherfuckers? They're still killing people? This is years later. Daniel Sayad faced allegations of rape and trafficking in France had appeared more than a thousand documents in the Epstein files and then he he got got. 69. Well, he was older. Was under investigation by the prosecutor specializing in human trafficking in France. Accused of murder, rape and other charges. He was found dead in his home on Monday evening. An investigation is to determine the cause of death had been opened and an autopsy is to be carried out.

1:00:02Tim Dillon:This is what they call tying up the loose ends. They're tying up all the loose ends. They can't kill everyone at once. They can't kill everyone at once, so the killings come, you know, when they have to. They kill people when they have to. They're like, well, he's being investigated, da-da-da-da-da. Let's just minimize risk and get him out of here. He was providing, and he was well-connected in the modeling world and also worked as a scout on commission for Jean-Luc Brunel, who was a leading agent in Paris, New York, and Miami for more than four decades. Brunel killed himself in prison in February 2022 after spending 14 months in custody awaiting trial.

1:00:38Tim Dillon:on charges of rape of minors and sexual harassment. So there's something going on in the modeling world, obviously. The modeling world is a funnel to this other world. Now, I was never in the modeling world. Now, many people thought that that's odd. And actually, I've got a lot of pushback because people go, don't you know all of these people? Like all the modeling people from all the model parties? And it is uncomfortable, you know, because that is a world that I'm in, kind of that world of kind of the international modeling community. But I've never seen, I want to address it on the show, in any of the model events that I've been at, I've never seen anything untoward.

1:01:27Tim Dillon:I've never witnessed anything, and I am, I wouldn't say a fixture, but I am someone that is often finds himself sort of in that milieu of sort of models and scouts and international modeling and kind of the sex industry and just the kind of that, that just, you know, kind of image culture. and it is a shallow and hollow cold. I pulled myself out of it as I've gotten older. I've pulled myself out of it as I've gotten older because I realized how shallow it was and how people wanted me just for my body. And that is thrilling when you're younger. But now I feel as if it's something where I just, I want more of a multi-dimensional experience.

1:02:21Tim Dillon:And I just felt very one-dimensional. It's like yachts, yachts, yachts, yachts, yachts, yachts. Enough. How many boats in the South of France am I going to go on and have people ogle me? So in this modeling world in which I live and I'm very accustomed to and know like everyone in, it is hard that some of my heroes, John Luke Brunel and this man, some of my heroes, the great photographers, the great agents, scouts, these people were like family to me when I was in Paris being sort of just model and model adjacent. And it's hard to look at a group of people you thought you knew. And I was like, I thought we were all just having fun being hot on a boat.

1:03:09Tim Dillon:What's all this other stuff? What's all this other stuff? I thought we were just having fun on a boat being hot with some billionaires. What's going on? guys, why has it all gone wrong? Why has it all gone wrong? That's the question. But, you know, there are these yacht parties in all seriousness. That was a bit, I want people to know, I actually, because I know it is confusing, but I actually was not a model. But this world, this modeling world, they have these parties, these yacht parties, where these people are basically like,

1:03:53Tim Dillon:they're basically like sorry I'm returning you know RFK called me he was mad at me about the about that I said he wasn't doing anything and you know supposedly and here's where I will defend RFK I do like RFK's family a lot and I like him and Cheryl and I did that whole thing about we want more I want more I do and he fought the glyphosate thing and they overruled him because we're ruled by corporate oligarchs and they're not going to let him do anything and I think some of what he wants to do is probably silly you know but some of what you know I think he had a thing where he thought the candy fun dip gave you AIDS or something but whatever I mean you know everyone supposedly he's he's actually going to do something with ultra processed foods that's good he's gonna like designate them but he called me goes hello I said, hi.

1:04:42Tim Dillon:He goes, how are you? I said, good. He said, someone showed me a clip of you saying that I wasn't doing anything. And you played the clip on your show where I hit the yak with my phone. I said, well, yes. I said, well, I said that because I said, you are an exciting character to me. And I think we do have a lot of poison food. And I was a victim of it as a child. Not a victim, a willing participant, but a victim. And I think a lot of kids are victims of these corporations that are poisoning fucking kids, man. And he goes, well, of course, I agree with you, but I'm doing a lot behind the scenes that people don't know.

1:05:27Tim Dillon:We're the first administration to come up with a definition of an ultra-processed food. And he goes, I fought the gliophosphate battle, and I lost, but I campaigned heavily for that. So I said, by the way, I will correct myself and I'm a man of my word. I'm a man of my word. You know, can you get something up about the ultra processed food and see if he's, because he's behind the scenes trying. It's hard, I guess. What's happening?

1:06:04Tim Dillon:I like this So nine hours ago And I'm by the way Credit where credit is due Thank you Senate advances Maha friendly bill For food warning labels And junk food ad bans So they're going to try to Put warning labels on food And they're going to try to ban Junk food advertising By the way I think that's good I think that's good The bill which would ban Junk food advertisements targeted to children and require the Food and Drug Administration to put strong warning labels on ultra-processed foods, high in sugar, salt, and saturated fat, was proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders. Wait a minute.

1:06:44Tim Dillon:Oh, hold on, hold on. An earlier version of the bill died when Sanders introduced back in 2004, but that was before President Trump appointed Maha leader RFK as health secretary. So RFK is on board with it. Good for him on that. Here's the deal. when are we going to wrestle with the fact that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party forever have just been okay with everyone being poisoned? People are going to have to start asking those questions, and unfortunately, it's not going to bode well for fucking Red Robin. Red Robin death. I think that, you know, you go to Europe. Europe has junk food.

1:07:22Tim Dillon:Europe has things you can eat that are naughty. Go get a whatever. But here's the deal. Not like we do. not like we do. We have a carnival of literal horrors that we are feeding the children. The children. And I just want RFK doing more, you know? I mean, I think that's super important. And I think he is trying. I think it's hard. And I'll correct myself. You know, he's like, you played the video where I hit the yak. you played that on your show and said I wasn't doing anything. He said I'll go on my show and I'll correct myself if I was wrong and maybe I am a little bit wrong. You don't have to do that.

1:08:12Tim Dillon:And to his credit, he said I didn't have to do it. I get slammed every day. So I am a man of my word. I am nothing but a man of my word. So if this guy is trying behind the scenes, which I think he is, to truly rein in. Because by the way, we should have healthy food. There's no reason we don't have healthy food. We have enough fucking money. There's so much great produce in the country. A lot of it comes from California. But by the way, we can have food. We shouldn't have food deserts where poor people have to eat sludge. And then their minds and bodies are out of whack. They're chronically ill.

1:08:58Tim Dillon:They're not capable. And we're doing this on purpose. We're doing it on purpose. People that cannot afford to eat better, a lot of them are like being driven to an early grave. Not only that, but the quality of life they have is significantly diminished. So if the DSA wants to get on that train, but the more I see of them, they're talking about that calories are white supremacy and body image is white supremacy. And if they keep, if the Democratic Party wants to win, they just have to drop the hatred of white people. They have to drop it. You have to start talking about class. You have to start talking about jobs and health care.

1:09:47Tim Dillon:You got to drop this identity politics. Shit, it's not going to work. Stop writing articles that Kamala needs to come back. stop trying to make Pete Buttigieg a thing he's not a thing he's not a thing give it to John Ossoff give it to Andy Beshear boring, straight, white be done with it stop trying to make a point stop the theatrical theater kid shit you're all losing and you've driven your party the world they don't want is manifesting more and more every single day with all of the actions that they undertake So this weird theater kid energy got released in the Democratic Party. I'm going to end on this, but let me tell you exactly what happened.

1:10:29Tim Dillon:And the Republican Party is not immune from this either, by the way. It's this weird, like, strange college energy, like, performing arts camp energy that, like, weirdly a lot of people on the right have too. where not actual actors, actresses, not actual thesbyes, not actual people in theater whose lives are hard and you do something that they love and it's kind of like underappreciated and they're underpaid and they find a community. None of that. We're not talking about that. We're talking about the simulation of that. That's what a theater kid is. It's that with a net. It's being able to pretend that you've made the sacrifices to understand, but you haven't because you're a theater kid and you're at some summer camp or you're in a high school or college or whatever it is.

1:11:19Tim Dillon:So you have all that diva behavior with nothing to back it up and you've not earned it. And you are going out and proclaiming that you are worthy of attention, but you haven't mastered the skill and honed the craft to deserve it. You are a petulant, childish, tantrum-throwing baby. That is the energy, unfortunately, of a lot of people in both the Republican and Democratic parties right now. The Democratic Party is the one that I focus on because they should win. the midterms and then the next election because the Republican Party is about to put troops on the ground in Iran. Their best idea is to have Lindsey Graham's sister take his Senate seat and vote so that we can go further into World War III while Lindsey Graham sucks cock in another realm.

1:12:26Tim Dillon:So they rightly should lose. And the Democratic, and people get mad at me, what are You saying there's no deep state? No, dummy. But if the deep state can never be affected or impacted or changed, then why even elect this guy? Why did you all get excited and wear the dumb hats, dummies? Why did you care so much about this guy and his election? If this deep state, if you were just going to blame everything on the deep state, then what the hell was the point? Why did you go to the rallies? Why did you, were you just trying to go to a concert? And that's really what it was. Did you just like the merch?

1:13:02Tim Dillon:Why did you care so much about this guy? Why isn't he investigating his own assassination attempt? Let's talk about the deep state for a minute, by the way. Why don't we know anything about the guy that assassinated him? Okay? Or tried to. Sorry. Attempted. I'm not saying there's no deep, I'm not saying there's not some permanent government apparatus. I've talked about it a million times on the show. I get it. But for the people that ran on upending the deep state to then come in and blame things on the deep state, seems like you have to be an idiot. for that to work. Why were you excited for this guy to win?

1:13:39Tim Dillon:Why did anyone think it would be interesting for this guy to win if he was just going to do all the things that this deep state wants him to do? What is he doing that they don't like, by the way? Maybe some tariffs that'll just expire the minute he's out of office? He's in Iran. He kidnapped Maduro. Flock cameras are everywhere. the tech people are getting all the money. So who is this deep state again? Who are these people that are really upset and up in arms with him? Who are they? I don't know who they are. He seems to be, what would they want him to do that he's not doing? He seems to be pretty lockstep with all of these people.

1:14:23Tim Dillon:Surveillance technology is everywhere. The pace at which unregulated AI is going to grow and become a real problem is harrowing. We're about to commit troops to a war with the country and we'll probably lose. That's the other thing. Unless we put a million people in there and hold their government, and then what will winning look like? It'll just be tallies of dead people. It's going to be a nightmare. It won't feel like winning. It'll feel like losing. And it'll probably be actually losing too because there's not much you can do in that country. but again, we're on the brink of that. We're on the brink of that.

1:15:05Tim Dillon:So again, I'm asking all the smart people, I'm excluding the paid hack MAGA people that are getting paid by this. That's great. Oh, he unwound DEI. Ta-da. Great. I'm all for that. I'm all for that. We've invaded, or we're about to invade Iran a year and a half into the presidency. he's running crypto scams out of the Oval Office. His family's gotten really rich. Immigration, there's no legislation passed. So everything he's done is executive order and it's all reversible. Whatever. I mean, I don't even, you know, listen, I'm not sitting here chastising people for their beliefs, meaning that you're allowed to believe something that isn't true.

1:15:58Tim Dillon:that's a great thing about our country you're allowed to believe something that isn't true I just don't have to believe it you cannot you can't make me believe it because when you talk about this deep state and I go well what would they want? permanent war? check surveillance? check I don't know it seems like they're pretty happy seems like they're pretty happy you know So, it seems like they really didn't like Bernie Sanders. It's deep state. And they probably didn't like Trump early on. I don't know what happened. They certainly didn't like him early on. They seem to have warmed to him now. I don't know what happened.

1:16:40Tim Dillon:Maybe it has to do with that shooting, but no one will investigate it, so I don't know.

1:16:47Tim Dillon:But I'm a man of my word. And if RFK is trying, then RFK is trying. Thank you. You played the video where I Attack I hit the yak with my phone Yes, yes So I'm a man of my word And when you're a man of your word You have to honor your word I'm an empath I feel People are yelling at me And all these dorks everywhere Are playing my clip about the deep state It's not that I don't think it exists It's that well then why did Why was there such excitement for Donald Trump. He ran against the permanent uniparty that was sacrificing the middle class of this country, but poor people always, of course. But they were governing at the behest of an elite few people.

1:17:45Tim Dillon:And he's kind of, he's doing the same thing. So I'm trying to figure out exactly how, Just think of the symbolism of getting into the White House and then of Elon Musk, who's the richest man in the world at this point. The first few months, you move him essentially into the White House. It's this incredibly dysfunctional thing. He's getting in fights with people in the White House, some of them physical. He's getting in a fight with the president. He accuses the president of being in the Epstein fight. And then the president, like, I don't know. It feels weird to still be jazzed about this. depending on however jazz you worry about seems odd it seems like a cope it seems like you need to QAnon ain't happening it ain't happening nobody's getting marched off to Gitmo it's time to wake up it's time to turn the computer off and go for a walk I'm sorry I know it's upsetting to you sorry but it's just there's a reality here that people need to accept I mean in my belief in my estimation now they don't have to and I can't compel them to it's a great thing about America you're allowed to believe whatever you want to believe you're allowed to sit there and say no Trump has the best of intentions he just keeps getting thwarted that's the way they believe he just keeps getting thwarted every time he tries to do something somebody else there is you know like tricking him he's getting tricked so and there are people that will believe that until they're dead there's people that will go to their grave believing that that he was the one true great American patriot hero the guy that hosted The Apprentice was the one guy that tried to save America but he was thwarted you know and that's okay they're allowed to do that if it makes you feel better something's got to make you feel better it's either going to be the Red Robin burger skyscraper that they bring out to your table or it's going to be the idea that Donald Trump was the last great hope of America, but he was thwarted.

1:19:56Tim Dillon:He was the only one who cared about us. So something's got to make you feel good. Something's got to make you feel good. It's what it is. Something's got to make you feel good. You could get on your knees in a hotel room in Washington, D.C. and suck off a congressional page and then vote to kill everybody. or you can eat a big onion ring tower at Red Robin or you can believe that Donald Trump was the only person in our country that ever cared about you. Whatever you need to enjoy your summer. You only get one summer.
