Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show
Very sad. I want to talk about this obviously up top
So many people are flooding into my inbox and saying to me you predicted this plane crash, which was
Obviously terrible. We're not making jokes about it
We did that on the patreon patreon
We did that on the patreon patreon
Com Tim Dillon show but not about the plane crash about the CEO statement, which was bizarre
It was just bizarre. Like the CEO was like it was run. It was a
He was like it was American Eagle He goes it was operated by whatever and then he goes and that is a wholly owned
subsidiary of American air like it was like it just felt odd to get into the corporate structure of the actual carrier.
But it's tragic, obviously a Blackhawk helicopter
collided with the plane on final approach into DCA,
Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC.
I don't usually fly into Reagan, I have, But usually I've, you know, the many times
I've been to DC, the majority of them I've driven. It's not an airport that I know particularly well.
I called my guy, my private check guy, and he kind of filled me in on that approach that they
were doing, which is a pretty common approach because they don't want you flying over the Pentagon
or the White House, and then you're coming in.
And there are a lot of helicopter training exercises
being done.
There was actually one the night before this happened
where a plane had to, and I read about this,
a plane had to abort a landing because of a helicopter
that was flying very low.
And that happened literally 24 hours before this plane tragically crashed into the Potomac.
So it's not a new problem.
And it just underscores what I've been saying about flying.
That if you fly in America, you're going to die.
There's no other way to say it.
You're going to die. Maybe not now. Maybe
not this particular flight you're listening to this podcast on, but you will
die. And you'll probably die horribly by plunging into freezing cold water and
there's nothing you can do about it. There's absolutely nothing you can do
about it, except embrace that as a fact every plane I get
on to I think I'm going to die it is the healthiest way to think this is it the
fact that I'm going right now to perform in Milwaukee is the choice I have made
and I'm going to die and when the plane lands you have cheated death you've
cheated it when those wheels hit the, you have cheated death. You've cheated it. When those wheels hit the runway, you have cheated death.
Not forever, momentarily.
Because everyone in aviation is shot.
And that's why I predicted this.
Because every person that I have seen,
from the flight attendants, to the pilots,
to the gate agents agents to that guy who
fucking pulls out that hose and gases up the plane all of them are shot many of
them are convicts felons they are shot these are people who are at the end of
their rope they are treated poorly they are not paid as well as they should be
they are exhausted they are overworked.
They are dealing with the American public,
which has become an increasingly unruly group.
And they're dealing with these psychopaths,
30,000 feet in the air, who wanna change their seat,
who are screaming and yelling.
Many of them sneak on, they try to sneak on the plane.
They don't even have these are sick people
30,000 feet in the air
There are fights people are vaping and they're blowing the smoke in the face of a baby and
Then these people have to be the first line of defense
They have to go and say can you stop vaping and blowing it on that baby's head and then they get hit
There are air marshals, people
are being dragged off planes. It is a hellish nightmare in the air. There are drones, there
are helicopters, there are private planes, there are other things going on. There are
kids in the suburbs with laser pointers trying to down these things for fun because they're
bored because they're bored Okay
There is you are going to die in a plane. There's no other way to say it that trip to Disney World will be your last
It is crazy
Wichita to fucking DC nobody thought
Nobody thought and it sucks and it's terrible, but it's the way it's it's terrible now. I
Mean the best case is you get black mold like that Delta flight and you start vomiting the best case
On a airliner right now is you get norovirus is the best case on a plane
The best case on a plane is that your literal best case on a plane right now
is that they will not let it take off because a schizophrenic has gone insane. Pray a schizophrenic
loses their mind on your flight and they have to take it to the gate. That's the best case.
When the wheels leave the ground, you're dead because no one's paying attention. They're drunk. The pilots and the flight attendants are drug addicts.
When they have a day off, they just do drugs. I've asked them. This is what they do. They go to parties and do Mali.
And that's fine. But a lot of them are still coming down on the plane.
So the best case scenario is when you are sitting on the tarmac pray to God someone starts screaming maybe you be the person who starts
screaming if you don't hear someone screaming on your plane you start
screaming so that they they up they will not let that plane leave the ground and
they take it back to the gate the best thing you can hear on a plane right now
is we are hello ladies and gentlemen a plane right now is we are, hello
ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking, we are going back to
the gate because of a security issue. Good, I'm going home it's over. You're not
killing me and my family today. I'm going home. Thank God for this psychopath. If
it's not a, you start screaming. The next time you're on a plane I want you to sit
in the back and when they go
Well, the door is closed and we're ready to start
Start screaming yelling about Gaza whatever you want start screaming about the ceasefire
Yell about the ceasefire on the plane. So they take it back to the gate. They're gonna kill you. They're gonna kill you
And one of the military stop with the helicopter. What's going on all the time? Stop it!
It was terrible what happened to these people. I'm not making a lie to you, I'm simply saying that you're taking your life in your hands when you get on a fucking plane.
I'm serious. Stop with the statistics all the time.
Well, actually, statistically, it's the safest way to is it
Is it the statistically the safest way hey, do you think they were saying that in the Potomac?
Were they talking about the statistics in a river?
It's not statistically. It's not I've been in five car accidents by the way many of them I've caused
But the point is how many play you find the guy that's in five plane crashes I'll talk to him I've been
in head-on collisions I mean a fat secretary I made a left from the right
lane we're getting money to get to a Viking in in Long Island yet up we had
a we had a head-on collision in the car Pepsi can and shed a big her head hit
the dashboard and shed a massive balloon-sized
welt on her head that filled up with blood and
It was fine. She's fine
We're all fine. You see what I mean? That's not the way it works in a plane. You can get in accidents
I had sun blindness once because I was high and my grandmother's Ford Focus in the parking lot of Nassau Community College
Sun blindness means the sun refracts or reflects whatever I don't know off the sun and blinds you.
The sun oh sorry refracts off the snow and and you just can't see anything you're blind
and I was high and I 35 miles an hour accelerated into the back of another car and then I just left.
I left because I was high and I'm fine.
And that person's fine probably.
Everyone's fine is what I mean.
Most car accidents are fine.
Some of them are actually fun.
Some of them are actually good
and they give you a jolt of adrenaline.
You could go on about your day.
Most of the time it's fine.
Insurance companies pay out. Most of the time, it's fine. Insurance companies pay out.
Most of the time, it's fine.
Plane crashes are a, they're definitive.
It's over.
There's no second chance.
You don't get pulled out of the Potomac and go on and start again.
You know, that one thing, that fucking miracle in the Hudson ruined everything.
Cause everybody thought that like the worst thing could happen and some folksy airline pilot will land you safely in the Hudson River
and then you get to go on David Letterman.
That's not what happens.
That's not what happens.
They are looking for your fingers.
That's what really happens.
There's a diver going, I found a knee.
That's what happens.
You don't land safely in the Hudson River
Cuz I'll folks each a sully sullen burger
sully sullen burger
I'm just saying I'm saying
Really think now if you're gonna fly I have to fly for my fucking job, and I don't want to but where are you people?
Going where the hell are you going? Oh you're going to a bachelorette party? Stay home you're gonna die. You're gonna die. Crash
the economy. Stay home. Stay home. Drive. Take Amtrak. No one wants to take Amtrak.
People would rather die than take Amtrak. I realize that but there are some nice
routes that are very nice with Amtrak. When you walk into an airport now just
know you are in it is a hospice you are in your final resting place that little
Starbucks a sous-vide egg bite will be the last thing you put down your throat
and they will find it on the autopsy inside of you. They're going to kill you.
They're going to kill you. Air traffic controllers are so absent. They let one of them leave early. I read that.
One of the air traffic controllers, they let them leave early. So there was one controller.
What did that person have to do? What did the air traffic controller have to do?
I hope it weighs heavily on their conscience. Here we go.
A superior allowed an air traffic controller to leave before the crash.
The duties of handling air traffic control for helicopters and those for planes at Reagan
National Airport on Wednesday night were combined before the deadly crash between an Army Blackhawk
helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet according to a person briefed
Make that a little bigger if you could the left
That left one air traffic controller handling dual roles
Okay
dual roles
According to the person briefed who was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation into the crash. So someone left early and I hope it weighs on their conscience.
I hope that person who left early, it weighs on their conscience
because I would have been that person.
But it wouldn't have weighed on my conscience because I'm a strong person.
And if you're going to leave jobs early and perform in a
in a way that endangers other people as I have my entire life you have to live with it I
was a terrible lifeguard people we miss saves they were all fine the parents
jumped in and got him the point is this I because of my negligence in my jobs
have endangered many people and the worst has never happened,
but if it did happen because I'm a strong person,
I would have been able to handle it.
I would have been able, I left early,
I left early, I wasn't even there.
I literally would be saying to people,
I was not even there.
I was not even there when that happened.
Had I been there, it would have been okay.
I'm a strong person.
This person probably isn't.
It's weighing on their fucking conscience. It's weighing on their fucking conscience.
It's weighing on their conscience that they left early. It's a whole thing now. Their whole life's
been completely changed. I would have been fine with it. I would have said, yeah, I left early
because I wanted to watch YouTube videos on my couch and everyone died. But shit happens. But
this person's probably crying at some fucking work, some fucking therapist that their job pays for.
Own your decisions and own your life. It's terrible what happened, but you left early because you're a bum. And own that.
Typically, the tasks of handling helicopter traffic and managing the planes are divided from 10 a.m. to 930 p.m. at the airport.
According to the preliminary report after 930, the duties are normally combined with
traffic lessons.
But an air traffic control supervisor combined those duties sometime before 930 p.m. and
allowed one air traffic controller to leave early.
So this is the supervisor's fault because they're trying to curry favor with some other
supervisor they're probably having sex with.
I have no proof of this is my guess.
Or they want to have sex with.
The staffing configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic
so a supervisor said, hey, it looks a little light.
Why don't you get out of here whatever the person's name was
maybe their last name was Thomas why don't you get out of here Thomas
you sure yeah we got it handled Thomas their last name's Thomas get out of
here go home and watch The Good Place.
What's that? It was a sitcom from many years ago.
Co-created by the creator of Hacks. What's Hacks? Thomas, will you get out of here?
We got it handled.
What do you think's gonna happen? A plane's gonna plunge into the Potomac?
Get out of here and go watch The Good Place on Hulu.
And enjoy your night.
Order some Thai food.
We'll just be here killing people.
Get out of here.
We're turning the river into a mass grave tonight, Thomas.
All of these people should answer.
All of them.
All of these people, by the way. Every one of these people should answer for why of them. All of these people, by the way.
Every one of these people should answer for why they did what they did on that day.
People's lives were lost.
And I'm a little sick of the attitude of these people in the airlines.
I'm a little sick of it.
I know that I just talked about how hard their jobs were, and they are hard, but they are
you the job you signed up for the job you signed up for and I want to know why you fucked it up so badly
that children little figure skaters terrible shit died in this thing and
maybe it's not the airline I don't know it's probably not the people on a plane
but maybe it's the air traffic controller it's seemingly you know this is a huge tragedy in the figure skating community. Legitimately is.
Now I'm not in that community and I don't know much about it.
You know, but I'm saying that's not good.
Also, the Black Hawk Helicopter... What the fuck's going on over there?
CNN comes out, or whoever did it, I forgot. they were like, there were no VIPs on the
plane.
There were no VIPs, no very important people.
Well, that's nice.
That's nice.
There's people at home watching this.
Their loved ones are in the river.
And then the media comes out and goes there were no VIPs
that's disgusting let's see who said that I'm blaming CNN but it's probably
not CNN but maybe it is I don't know who said that there was no VIPs on the You know, it's crazy to say that literally as people are finding out that their family
members have been killed, the media comes out and says there were no VIPs on the plane.
Was that CBS News?
Did they say it?
Looks like Bradley Bowman.
Who the hell's that?
Former Blackhawk pilot
He said there were no VIPs on the former Blackhawk pilot Bradley Bowman has flown the route
He said he would be fair to describe it as routine
Let's see what we got and so
Let's see, what do we got? And so, you don't want the first time you're doing that to be with the VIP in the back.
So he's not, so he basically said the day to day mission of the aviation unit is what
we call priority air transport to fly VIPs around and if you're going to pick up the
chief of staff of the army at the Pentagon and fly him on a night mission
You don't want the first time you're doing that to be the VIPs in the back
So you do these regular training missions to make sure that you know your trade
So here's what he was saying and this is not what I mean. The media came out to there were no VIPs on the plane
But what he's basically saying is the reason they're flying these comp these missions at night
They're not combat missions, but they're flying Black Hawk helicopters at night
They're training because occasionally they're gonna have to pick up Pete Hegseth and take him to AA
I'm a professional you didn't even see it coming. You had no idea it was coming. You had no idea it was coming
No one knew it was coming No one knew it was coming. No one knew it was coming. And that was funny no matter what you
believe, even if you're Vivek Ramalala. Selling a car privately can be a real headache. Endless

It's a piece of shit. This that's my own that's not theirs.
All right. Bye bye. Let's my friend RFK my friend and his
wife Cheryl, Cheryl Hines.
We're at a confirmation hearing sitting next to Megan Kelly and the very attractive
Amaryllis Kennedy, his niece, attractive women.
Who knew?
I'm kidding.
Did the Biden, the Biden have hotties?
They might have.
Biden administration. Jill was probably fetching in her day, Jill Biden, before she started dragging her husband
around and forcing him to be the president. I want you to bring up Sanders v. Kennedy. V Kennedy This is a confirmation hearing RFK and I've had
Discussions with this man. I believe he is the best man for the job
He understands what my parents didn't
Which is that fast food is bad in?
My house we were confused on that we thought if it was fast and hot and cheap it was good.
If we didn't have to make it ourselves it was good. I was raised and my generation was raised at Wendy's,
at McDonald's, at Taco Bell, at Burger King, at Boston Market and that was the healthy option. The healthy option was Boston
Market that was as good as it got for my generation
that was as good as it got was Boston Market and
RFK understands how fucked we all are because of that he gets it
So what RFK wants to do is ban
The poison food he wants to ban the food dyes the additives how chem the chemically
Processed sludge we feed our little fat children and sure they're fun on Instagram with their catchphrases these little fatties
Sure, it's fun. Have a little fatty on Instagram with these,
but guess what?
You grow up fatty and people forget the catchphrase.
They forget your song on TikTok.
They forget it.
And you're just a fatty boombaty.
So what has to happen is RFK,
and it's too late for my generation,
but it is not late to save these fat little influencers.
Yes, and many of them are cute and jolly.
The point is this,
their insides are rotting because of what we're feeding them.
Stop dragging your children around
and making them eat sandwiches on TikTok.
It's unhealthy.
If TikTok had been around,
I would have been the biggest star in the world
because my parents would have dragged me to Wendy's
and make me, they'd make me eat Monterey Ranch chicken
sandwiches in front of everybody.
And I would have had a fun catchphrase too.
It would have been fun.
Eat the sandwich and then say something fun.
And then I'd, because that was when they put the bacon in the ranch dressing in
The Monterey Jack cheese and it was in the gold little wrapper and I would eat it and I go
It's so warm or whatever my catchphrase would have been. I don't know God. It's warm in there. I
Love chicken in my mouth. I don't know what it would have been but it would have been good and
I would have been on the right track
But RFK is trying
To to to to stop this and people are mad at him because he made a few
Statements
That vaccines and linking them to like
Transgender school shooters.
Who cares?
Listen, fast and loose sometimes with the chatter.
It happens.
You ever go out late night?
Just talking?
Sometimes he's talking, sometimes he makes good points.
We clearly didn't need to give 18 year old healthy soccer players a COVID vaccine.
A lot of them are collapsing with heart attacks on the field
That's not good. They didn't need the COVID vaccine
Probably and we were all looking back at it. No, we didn't need it
But our K, you know, he's an interesting guy. He's a wild guy
But you know, he's he has some of the right instincts
This guy's family's mad at him
He has some of the right instincts. This guy's family's mad at him.
Like his, I don't know, Rory and Caroline and these other people, they're angry at him
and they're writing letters and one of his nephews is doing TikToks or maybe it's not
his nephew.
I don't even know, I don't know how it all works.
But one of these guys is trying to get famous off hating on the guy.
You know what I mean?
It's not right. It's not right to get famous
hating on your family. You can't see me. I'm not here. But the point is this. R of K is going,
you're going to get a gun in your face when you try to go and get them a griddle and that's what you need. You need a gun to get pointed at you. He's gonna put the
military at Costco. They're going to take that Costco family and put them in
Gitmo. All of this can happen if you just confirm this man. He will put the Costco
except the Rizler who we like, but like myself he
needs reform. The Rizler needs reform. Me and the Rizler should be sent to a camp
where we are cooked for and people make us work out and they tell us
we're stars. But the other two have to be put to death publicly. Yes, and the mother and the sister.
So RFK, my point is this,
get Sanders up who's yelling at this.
RFK is taking it all here.
Every person is in this guy's family.
I mean, you know, this guy's kids are Democrats.
That's how bad this guy's got it. Everybody's around the guy's a Democrat. He's trying to help people.
It's fun to see the Democrats shill for Big Pharma and Big fucking McFlurry.
It's very interesting. Nobody believes anything.
It's a mad dash for power. Understand this.
We are in the ugly phase of the middle of the end of the empire here, where everybody, there's a lot of gnashing of the teeth.
Nobody really believes in anything except their own power, their own ability to manufacture a reason for themselves to have power.
So all these senators are grandstanding.
Elizabeth Warren's like a theater kid.
She's like a theater kid.
She's like not to be taken seriously.
Whatever, she's going at RFK, but she's so over the top. And will you, will you, will you
promise not to sell the vaccine?
She thinks she's in Wicked.
It's enough already with her.
It's too much.
You can make the points.
But now Sanders goes at RFK for selling a onesie
that says no vax, no problem.
Let's get this up. Sanders is going at RFK because RFK is is and I'll tell you this right now
because RFK sells a onesie that says unvaxed unafraid and here's the thing I
respect Bernie Sanders but I was fucking disappointed in him. You do not go at a man's merch. You do not go at a man's merch that's fucked up.
We're all sensitive about our merch. It's not our main line of business. It's not what we've put the
work into. I'm not Donna Karen, okay? I'm putting out merch because the people enjoy the message and the program For you to go at my merch sucks
Publicly, it's fucked up
For you to say oh, it's it sucks. It's ugly who would ever wear that that's fucked up
I'm trying to sell it to people you don't go with a man's merch
It's fucked bro. I
Didn't go at the field of burn. There was a lot of merch you were, you had.
Okay?
It wasn't always the best, but it was like, whatever.
And I respect this guy, because he's got values and he's got principles.
But you don't go at a man's fucking line.
That's this man's clothing line.
Call him something. Call him names. Say he's unfit's clothing line.
Call him something.
Call him names.
Say he's unfit for the job.
Say he's a shill for frivolous lawsuits, if you must, which I don't believe.
Say he's a crank and a kook.
Call him a conspiracy theorist.
Do not go at his merch like that publicly.
That's hurting his business.
We're living in a time now, people don't go at someone's meme coin
and don't go at their merch.
Have the respect to leave people's business alone.
Keep their business out of your mouth.
There's no benefit to being in government now
unless you can have a coin or merch
So we need to like establish that
You can trade insults call each other pedophiles all day and all night. Don't tank the coin
Don't tank my coin
Don't tank my coin. Don't fuck with my merch
There has to be boundaries
Unless this is gonna get ugly quickly.
Politicians right now are entrepreneurs. They have fan bases. Those fan bases are buying things.
And it's important that that keeps happening because there's nothing left in this rotted corpse of an empire other than the exchange of goods and service and they're cute
No, vax. No problem's cute
Do you have that can you get that up? Can you get the actual exchange up where bernie sanders?
Disgustingly goes at this man's merch. It's literally I felt sick to my stomach
You can make rfk answer for a lot of stuff, but you don't make someone answer for
what they're selling on their website.
You're not making- you don't make somebody answer for what they're selling on their website.
It doesn't matter. Oh, you don't like my mug? Fuck off, bro!
I'm making a living. it's the fake business mug.
What's next, you gonna go with whatever
Cash Patel's doing?
Let's watch this, this is Senator Sanders
acting deplorably by publicly assailing
a man's merchandise on national television in front of the country.
It is the lowest, literally it's the lowest thing I've ever seen Sanders do.
The lowest.
You have started a group called the Children's Health Defense.
You're the original.
Right now as I understand it, on their website they are selling what's called onesies.
These are little things, clothing for babies. Yes.
One of them is titled, Unfaxed Unafraid.
Huh? That's cool.
Next one, and they're sold for 26 bucks a piece, by the way.
That's a good value.
Next one is, No Vax, No Problem.
Now you're coming before this committee and you say you're a pro-vaccine.
Just want to ask some questions. And yet your organization is making money,
selling a child's product to parents for $26,
which casts fundamental doubt on the usefulness of vaccines.
Can you tell us now that you will,
now that you are pro-vaccine,
that you're going to have your organization
take these products off the market.
Senator, I have no power over that organization. I'm not a part of it. I resigned from the board.
That was just a few months ago. You founded that. You certainly have power. You can make that call.
Are you supportive of these onesies?
I'm supportive of vaccines.
Are you supportive of this clothing, which is militantly anti-vaccine?
Well, it's clever and it's good and it's people like it.
Well, I want good science and I want to protect the vaccine.
Why don't they have a gray option?
Kids are vomiting constantly.
Why is it only white?
Have a gray.
Have another option.
Have a pink, a blue.
I know we don't want to gender this, but usually when when you work with someone with merch they give you different options. It's usually a
black, a gray, and a white, and the other colors cost more money. My name is Tim
Dillon and many of you know I lost my home in the California wildfires. It was
painful, but I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm lucky because I'm safe. I'm lucky
because my wife and children are safe. But the reality of the situation is many
people lost everything they own. It's an incredibly tragic time, but as a lifelong Angeleno, one thing I know
about our beautiful city is that we will rebuild.
Adios mio. If you or someone you know has lost a loved one, a business, or a
property because of the California wildfire, you could check out Morgan &

that allowed this horrible thing to happen.
What I'd like all of you to do
is hold the people accountable.
When I was watching my house burn
in the middle of the street with my daughter and my son,
and they were crying and they were saying,
daddy, daddy, why is it burning?
And I said, these are not questions we ask.
The question we ask is who pays, who's responsible
and where's ours, where is ours?
And my wife ran out of the house. We almost lost her but she was getting the dog and
her belongings. I took the kids at first and I told her I said get everything else.
And when she ran out she's like we gotta sue. That's the first thing she said and that's why
I fell in love with her many years ago. She goes, we got a little fire in her hair. I said, the hair is on fire.
It was a painful scene,
but it makes you strong and if you go to Cali wildfire lawsuit.com slash Tim,

This is a paid advertisement for Morgan and Morgan.
Sanders is out of control right now with his behavior,
and I don't know what's going on, but it is funny by the way in this chronically
ill country where everybody's addicted to fast food and sugar and our mortality rates are lower than they should be and
we die earlier than other people in the developed world and our rates of chronic disease and obesity and things like that are much higher.
They're arguing about onesies. Weird to me. It's weird to me that the Senate is pulling up a website with onesies on it and
Chastising RFK for being associated with a
organization that sells these onesies and
That this big issue of how sick this country is is not addressed at all ever
And our of case the only guy talking about any of this. All jokes aside, he's the only person
in public life in my memory who other than like Bill Burr by the way who's talked about it but who is talking about the the diseased chemically processed food supply and he's talking about that
we are over medicated. He's talking about SSRIs. He's talking about a lot of things.
And the pharmaceutical industry is the largest
campaign contributor to a lot of people in office.
It is the biggest advertiser on cable news.
It is the most powerful industry in America
outside of the defense industry and the financial sector.
But the pharmaceutical industry as a particular force
is incredibly potent.
And I understand that people like Sanders
are always advocating for national healthcare
and socialized medicine, things I agree with.
I don't think anybody that gets sick
should have to go bankrupt.
I agree with all of that.
And I think he also feels maybe it's tough to argue,
you know, if everybody needs prescription drugs, it's hard to argue with the companies providing that. His main
concern is making sure this medication is available to people cheaply and that they're
able to get this medication. And I understand, you have pharma advertisers poured 3.4 billion
into linear TV during the first eight months of 2024. That's an 8% increase. So they're responding.
The first eight months of 2024, they're increasing their spend 8% to around 3.4 billion. They're
responding to the heat that's coming on them from people like RFK. And all jokes aside,
we are an incredibly over-medicated country and there's a lot of conversations that should be had.
And I don't think RFK is right about all of these things, but why is he the only one bringing it up?
And when you have Elizabeth Warren grandstanding and yelling and screaming and saying, oh, he's
making all this money suing
vaccine manufacturers because there are genuinely people that feel that they've been injured by vaccines and
you may not be one of those people and you may and
Not believe those people but those people genuinely believe they've been injured by vaccines and they're suing vaccine manufacturers and
vaccine manufacturers. And Pfizer and all these companies have made a trillion dollars with this vaccine who then absolved, got the government to absolve them from any lawsuits pertaining to this
by the way. They couldn't be sued, they couldn't be held accountable for anything. Who is calling me?
I'm telling you right now, it is, it's always spam.
Stop!
I'm just saying this.
Whatever you may think about RFK, I personally vouch for him.
I think the onesies are cute.
They're cute.
It's fun.
It's fun to have a onesie.
Maybe the baby is vaccinated, but he's fun to have a onesie.
Maybe the baby is vaccinated, but he's trying to step out and be edgy to get puss.
It's fun. It's fun to dress your baby up in a little edgy costume.
People enjoy it, and there's a market for it.
It's not the biggest problem that he's
selling. Maybe they're ironic. Maybe it's a irony poisoned baby. Deepseek's
ruining everyone's life. Chinese Deepseek has come out and we realize exactly what
I talked about last week.
And I didn't even know I was being Nostradamus again.
People are going to start thinking I'm being Fed info by the way, because I'm so good at these predictions.
People are going to think that I'm like being Fed information by the Chinese.
And maybe I am.
They come out and they say we're doing AI and it's cheaper than you're doing it.
Even though Trump and the government have put restrictions on these chips, we've figured
out a way to make an AI model that is inexpensive and fucking great.
And we lost a lot of money.
NVIDIA, all these companies tumbled because one of the pillars of our economy right now
is our supposed supremacy in the sphere of artificial intelligence.
We are going to dominate the world with AI and companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI, Sam Altman's company,
whatever the fuck Elon's doing and all these guys, we are the boss in AI. But Deepsea came
out and it showed us that China has been hard at work. And AI is going to become God. This
is the thought. So if China makes God, then we're all we all we're all fucked because God's gonna conveniently forget about things like
Tiananmen Square. Chinese AI is still gonna be programmed by China and they
are going to have an interest in having that AI model perhaps forget some things that may not be flattering to them. Okay?
That's one of the big concerns of course we all want to make gobs of money
That's the other thing in this country everybody always wants to make gobs of money
But the other concern is that if China is the world's leader leader in artificial intelligence
their China is the world's leader in artificial intelligence.
Their chat-chee-bee-tee-like model is going to basically answer questions with information
that is very positive for the Chinese version of history and
That is something that I think is something that's interesting
The US cannot allow Chinese Communist Party models such as deep seek to risk our national security and leverage our technology to advance the AI ambitions
Rep John Molinar a Michigan Republican who chairs a bipartisan House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party said Tuesday
in a statement, we must work swiftly to play stronger export
controls on technologies critical to DeepSeek's AI
infrastructure.
Trying to release this and to think tank our economy,
play that Fox business thing you had describing to people
what the hell this thing is.
Because by the way, the next 10 years for many of you
will just be, you'll have to watch a segment
to understand what something is
and why it's ruining your life.
What is this thing and why do I have no money now?
Why did my portfolio get hammered? Why do I have no money now? Why did my portfolio get hammered?
Why do I have no retirement?
And what is this thing?
What is this thing that's ruined the chance
of me having a lake house?
Chinese startup just launched a new AI model
to rival OpenAI and it is called DeepSeek.
It's raising questions about US dominance
in artificial intelligence.
Madison always been looking at this.
First of all, what exactly does DeepSeq do?
Yeah, absolutely, Stu.
So it's an AI model and has a corresponding chat bot
like chat GPT of OpenAI,
and it has significantly narrowed the gap
between the US and China
when it comes to artificial intelligence.
DeepSeq is the brainchild of a small group of researchers
working for a Chinese hedge fund manager
that have been able to produce technology
that is on par with OpenAI and Google,
even though those companies are sinking billions of dollars
and years into development.
Meanwhile, DeepSeek did it for cheaper
in a couple of months.
Pause this for a second, is Vivek right?
Is Ramalamalan right?
I mean, literally, I got mad at Vivek Ramalamalan
because he was like, Americans are lazy
and can't do anything.
And I said that's crazy and he should keep his mouth shut.
Now I'm going to have to send him some butter chicken,
some roti, some garlic naan,
and apologize to him because maybe he's right
because all of these brilliant tech people we have
are spending billions of dollars and lots of money
and they just got beat publicly, shamefully,
and this is the best we got.
This isn't a bunch of my friends in Long Island
who tried to do this at Lilly Flanagan's.
These are people from Stanford.
These are the top tier people we have, the best of the best.
We hear about how brilliant these kids are.
And they just got beat by a small group of people working for Chinese hedge fund guy, and they did it cheaper.
We're pouring billions into this. So is Vivek...
RABBA DABBA DAB!
...correct about what he said, and maybe I have to apologize to him over a dinner, perhaps tamarind.
Over a dinner perhaps tamarind
She's a high-end Indian
Restaurant those are a great one in Glasgow that I enjoy I forget the name of it. But the point is
Let mango chutney is good. I don't eat Indian as much as I should but that chutney
And the what's that papalam it's the
Papadoms, it's a we don't have to go into it, but the point is... The point is this.
Vivek...
I maybe have to write a note to Vivek and say,
I'm sorry. I had no idea how bad it was!
I had no idea how bad this was.
Who are these idiots at Stanford that can't figure this out?
These bums!
These little bums. I had one of these little bums work on my little talk show on Netflix, sweetheart
Love the little guy, but he's a little bum
Why'd you let deep-seek win you little bum?
Just sweet kid. I like the kid. But the point is this
Why are they winning you? This is the best we have I
Know a lot of slobs. I know I know a lot of zeros
Okay, I know a lot of people who should not draw breath on this planet
Okay
Mainly my friends and my family
That's not who we're talking about here. We're talking about our elite the top of the top
high IQ hard workers
well funded
organized a fish
stupid
Stop it. I'm talking about the back around
It never ends.
What are they trying to get?
What are they getting these people that keep calling?
Let's, let's, the rest of this here,
because I'm, I'm, I'm,
often I sometimes have to reverse myself here
and I don't like to,
but I'm now wondering if we are so fucked,
and I'm hoping not, I still believe we got to fail
We got as Donald Rumsfeld says we go to war with the army
We have so I'm still against bringing in these people on visas to make this better
If it will just break we're so dumb. We'll just bring in a bunch of Chinese spot
We don't even know what we're doing. So you better get it to get, listen to me right now, students at Stanford.
I walk around your campus occasionally
when I perform at the Masonic Theater.
I'm telling you this right now, okay?
I'm telling you this right now.
You need to get it together.
You are our first line of defense, okay?
You need to get it together.
You need to work hard. You need to focus it together. You need to work hard.
You need to focus.
You cannot get lazy.
You're getting they're getting lazy, I guess, over there.
Let's finish this year up.
So on January 20th, DeepSeek introduced R1.
This is an AI model that reasons so it can do complex problem solving.
It thinks through the problem essentially.
Silicon Valley advisor to President Trump,
Mark Andreessen said, quote,
DeepSeq R1 is one of the most amazing
and impressive breakthroughs I've ever seen.
It's also open source.
DeepSeq said training one of its latest models
costs just $5.6 million.
Compare that to the $100 million that Anthropic used last year.
Pause that.
I'm going to defect to China now.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going to go down with this ship.
I'm not going to go down with it.
I will defect to China now.
In fact, I wanted one of those dragon heads to wear on the show and I couldn't get it
in time, but I wanted to come on here on that Chinese lion.
It's not a dragon.'s a lion actually I wanted to come on in a full Chinese lion costume
And I may next episode because I'm gonna defect to try I'm not going to go down with this show. I'm sorry
I'm sorry. I'm
Going to worry about myself now. I'm going to defect to China
It's the happy Lunar New Year by the way or whatever see you're the snake
See you're the snake. I will defect to China.
If we're gonna fail like this, if we're gonna fail this publicly like this, I'm gonna jump
ship and I'm going to defect to China.
You have a few months to impress me tech community that we hear about how omniscient and godlike you are.
All we hear about is how omniscient and godlike you are.
You have a few months to impress me or I am going to China and I'm going to defect with all of the things I've learned about podcasting.
I'm going to start a podcast in China and start doing content
So if you want to lose me
Then fine, but if you don't you better figure it the fuck out because I'll be in Shanghai in a studio in Shanghai
Saying very much what I say now, which is a lot of positive stuff about the Chinese Communist Party
They're just impressive do I agree with them? No, but it doesn't matter.
We're not in a world of agreeing anymore, dummies. Listen to what we're in a world of. Are you in awe or are you not?
You're either in awe or you're not.
Agreeing or disagreeing is for children. It's for idiots.
It's for your aunt at Thanksgiving
It's not for serious people
Serious people are either impressed or they are not this is the era we are entering we are in a full
tech dystopian hell mode
Where you are either the drone or you are the person on the ground in awe of the drone?
Are you the orb or are you the mailman looking at the orb? I
Will defect to China if you do not wake up. I am threatening you I
Am threatening the tech community all of. If you do not get it together, I'm out.
And I will take several of the podcasters with me.
I will take the RU garbage boys to China
and they will find garbage people in China
and they'll interview them.
I'm telling you, don't test me.
We're gonna finish this up here,
but the point that I made is it is important here.
We are living in a world of you're either impressed or not, you're in awe or you're
not.
You are dominating or you are not.
It doesn't really matter.
You can't keep calling them the Chinese communist party.
You can say whatever you want, but the reality is they just kicked our ass publicly.
Maybe deep seeks fraudulent. Maybe it's not that good
But it wiped a lot of wealth off the market. It's starting to rebuild a little bit now
But here's my point. My point is this if we do not start to get shock-awe
Spectacle back if we do not if we're not able to change this narrative and turn it around. We're in deep trouble
Okay, if we cannot build an AI
model to enslave our population and eventually become sentient and kill us faster than the
Chinese, if we cannot destroy humanity faster than the Chinese, then we have nothing.
So all you little kids at Stanford sitting there texting the girl trying to get your dick wet
that's all fine do that but remember you're there for a higher purpose and it's to destroy all life
on earth and if you can't do it faster than the Chinese I don't want you home for Christmas don't
come home for Christmas until you figured out a way to wipe the scourge of humanity
off the planet.
We know that's what you all want.
Dipping today, you see them all in the red there.
DeepSeek's AI model has raised serious questions about American dominance in the space.
Yes, and where Tim Dillam will live.
It has rattled chip stocks because DeepSeek claims to have used just around 2,000 NVIDIA
chips to train its V3 model.
Compare that to the tens of thousands of chips used for US models.
But there are also questions around whether China is underreporting how much money and
how much computing power they're using.
Skepticism from Elon Musk as well.
He says that there's no way they're able to do it with this amount of chips.
DeepSeek's latest flagship model V3 also won't answer political questions
about China or Xi Jinping.
And this is likely a similar setup to TikTok, right?
When we talk about that issue.
The concern there is that information used
is sent to their servers in China.
But this is an important distinction I wanna get to.
Because DeepSeek is open source,
essentially it means that developers in the U.S. can use
the code and programming locally on their computers if they have enough computing power.
So that means that you can run it here without this concern of American data being sent to
China.
So the biggest concern is the eroding American share of the AI market.
We are unseating U.S. dominance in the space. And I think we saw quickly a are unseating US dominance in the space.
And I think we saw quickly a full screen.
It's risen in the charts.
Stuart Varney's like,
does it know that I killed a hooker in 1985?
Does AI know that I've killed a hooker in 1985
in a hotel in London and it was covered up?
All right, get this out of here.
It's depressing me.
It depresses me.
It's depressing me. It's depressing me. It's depressing me. It's depressing me
I'm just trying to live like a human being here
Let's go to a happy story here Detroit rapper Suze Lyft after being denied ride because of her weight
rapper dank
Demos refused ride by Lyft driver get up dank
Now if we play dank's music, we'll get a copyright violation or something.
And this is the most publicity Dank has ever gotten.
Isn't that ironic? You can't even help Dank.
Dank DeMoss. Her name is DeQuah Blanding.
Now, is it DeJua? What is that?
D-A-J-U-A?
Dujua? Dajua?
D-D-J-Dujua? Dujua?
Dujua?
Dujua? I like Dank better to be honest. Okay, so Dank, the rapper Dank
Dank DeMoss alleged that on January 18th
She contacted Lyft looking for transportation from her home to her cousin's house for a football game watch party.
Well that's nice.
Doe, Jane Doe or John Doe, arrived at Blanding's home around 10 to 15 minutes later.
However when she went to get inside the vehicle he allegedly refused to let her in.
Court documents show specifically as a plaintiff walked towards the vehicle, defended John
Doe, locked the doors to his vehicle and attempted to drive away.
See, this is when you know you have a weight problem.
This is when you know you have a weight problem.
And actually, she could really start a health journey here and say, I tried to get in an
Uber.
I knew I had a problem when I tried to get in a Lyft and the guy locked the doors and
tried to drive away. Now,
why was he unable to drive away? Did she block the car? A shocked Blanding then asked the guy why he
tried to leave. He allegedly told her he wouldn't allow her in his vehicle because she was too big
to fit in the back seat and his tires were not capable of supporting the plaintiff's weight.
If you drive an Uber or a Lyft right now, you have to have a car that will
support 500 pound people. You just have to. I'm sorry. If Dave Blunt cannot fit comfortably in
your car, you cannot have it. The filing alleges that John Doe told the rapper Dank DeMoss that
she was too big to fit in the back.
She responded and told him that there was enough room to her to fit in the back seat
and that she did not require a bigger car.
Can you imagine this fight?
You imagine this fight.
The driver told her that he had problems in the past adding that overweight individuals must order Lyft XL XL's
Their larger vehicles that could fit up to six passengers. It costs more than standard rides
That's probably true. If you coming in at five hunch, you might have to order the XL
so she canceled the ride and left Oh No, he canceled the ride and left and
So she canceled the ride and left, oh no he canceled the ride and left, and now she is accusing Lyft and this man of allegedly subjecting her to a hostile environment and disparate
treatment.
And there was no candy in the car.
Refusing someone, I'm just letting you because you're all laughing I'm letting you catch
him. Refusing someone transportation based on their weight is not only illegal but dangerous.
I don't know how it's dangerous.
Well I guess if they're like, I don't know, if they really need to leave a place.
Imagine the consequences if misplaning were unable to see shelter after the driver left
her stranded.
This could have ended even worse than it did. Interesting.
She's suing for damages such as stress,
humiliation, embarrassment, outrage, mental anguish,
fear and mortification, as well as emotional,
economic and non-economic damages.
She is also asking for attorney fees and costs.
Lyft comes out and says, Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination we believe in a community where everyone is
treated with equal respect and mutual kindness. A spokesperson for the ride
chair company said in his statement, he said our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or
discrimination? Well, we'll have to follow that case. I don't know if it's going to
I believe they'll probably pay her out something. Can we let let's hear this
woman because it is unfortunate.
What does that guy got a C-Class Mercedes?
I bet that's what it looks like.
It looks like a C-Class.
She can't go in a C-Class.
Is that a C-Class?
That looks like it might be a C-Class.
She cannot go in a C.
All right, let's watch this. XL car I was I was embarrassed and.
I feel some type of way about it.
You know word she's hired a
lawyer and is suing lift.
Well, from a legal standpoint,
it seems like obvious discrimination.
The Elliott Larson Act,
which is Michigan Civil Rights Act,
specifically protects people from
fat people getting in cars.
No matter what driver here turned down her ride because of her weight. is Michigan Civil Rights Act specifically protects people from getting in cars.
You know, I ever hear turned down her ride
because of her weight.
They just says this experience has scarred her.
I haven't really like left my house since then.
She hopes this well, hold on, hold on.
How much were you leaving before?
What do you mean you haven't left your house since then?
Isn't she a rapper? How's she making money? Where are you rapping?
You're not leaving your house to go rap?
Where are you rapping?
I'll tell you another thing.
Don't get on a plane from Kansas to D.C.
Let's finish this up here with dank. That's okay.
Extra for uber exhale. While Lyft does not comment on pending litigation they
did send us this statement saying, quote,
Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination.
We believe in a community where everyone is treated equally
with special mutual kindness.
Our community guidelines and terms of service
explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.
Reporting in Detroit, Jacqueline Francis, local four.
We wish Dank the best.
We wish her well.
We wish Dank well.
We wish Dank well.
And, and we would love if Dank, um, wants to play her music on this program. We will.
I will play Dank's music on this show and we will not insult Dank's
merch like Senator Sanders.
Dank's music on this show and we will not insult Dank's merch like Senator Sanders.
We didn't even go into Cash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. That's all on Intel stuff.
We've done a lot of that.
We get it, right?
We get it.
They don't want them in whatever you think of them.
The intelligence community is not, they don't want nobody's and these JFK docs
and everyone's coming out with let's see how much they even say.
Do they even say anything?
What do you think is gonna be a picture of a guy with a thing that because he did it
They might say more than I think they say but the CIA has the document I don't know how much wrongdoing you're admitting to in the actual documents. Okay, here's the thing about the intelligence community
They're actually very good at what they do. They're very good at what they do in most cases
intelligence community, they're actually very good at what they do. They're very good at what they do in most cases.
Okay.
They're not bad at it.
They're pretty good at it.
They're not always great at it, but they're pretty good.
On average, they're able to deceive people pretty regularly.
So let's see what these documents say.
We don't know, but they don't want Tulsi in there because she's against regime change wars
that make people a lot of money.
And they don't want Cash Patel in there.
I mean, listen, Cash Patel might be a little bit of a huckster.
I don't really know him.
But the reality of the situation is this,
they certainly don't want him poking around the FBI.
The FBI is a tremendously corrupt organization
and they like it that way.
They want it to be that way.
They like it.
They enjoy it like they like it. They like it. They enjoy it. They like it. They
like to recruit informants and then if those informants end up doing things and breaking
the law, they go, we don't know who that guy is. They like to, that's what the FBI does.
They go out and they find people that are going to commit crimes and they push them
to commit crimes and then when they commit crimes, they go, he committed a crime. That's
the whole thing. They entrap people. It's one of the way the FBI functions. Look at the Boston Marathon bombing. They knew who those two
guys were. They recruited them as informants. They were allowed to travel back and forth to Dagestan,
which is a terrorist hotbed in that Chechnya region, everything like that. Okay.
Then they killed one of the guys that they were friends with during a routine
Interview one of their friends and they didn't even bring this guy to an FBI field office They went into his house a bunch of FBI agents and then he supposedly tried to kill them by grabbing some vase or something
And then they shot the guy dead by the way the guy who was friends with Joe
Zokar and Tamerlan Zornayev who might have shed light on what the hell was going on ended
up dead with the FBI.
And that's one example.
There's so many examples of the FBI, including all the informants they had on January 6th
and what the hell they were doing or whatever.
Whatever you think of Donald Trump, whatever you think of Kash Patel, the FBI is a tremendously
corrupt organization and the CIA, I mean, forget it.
Come on, stop it. Stop it.
Okay? But I'll tell you one thing.
I'm a man of my word.
I would never...
I don't care how many people the CIA has killed,
I don't care how many children they've trafficked,
I don't care how many people the FBI has entrapped,
I don't care how many terrorist organizations they've literally created, I don't care how many terrorist organizations they've literally created.
I don't care how many resources materially and otherwise they've provided to enemies of this country.
I don't care how many politicians they've blackmailed.
I don't care how many nefarious, horrible, murderous, villainous things they've done.
I would never, under any circumstances, go after their merch!
Be a fucking man!
Goodbye.
