Starting point is 00:00:00 Silver bells, silver bells, soon it will be Christmas Day. Hello everyone. And you know what? I don't care if that woman killed her husband. It's Christmas. I don't care. I don't care. It's Christmas.
Starting point is 00:00:25 And I'm forgiving everyone. and I'm happy to be here with all of you because we're about to start a new year and it's a time for hope and we don't want to get mired in the past we want to go forward to the future and this turning point kind of abomination that the right wing of this country
Starting point is 00:00:57 has turned into like a bad reality show and it's all of the fault of everyone, by the way. It's the fault of everyone speaking and everyone attending and every... There's nobody that gets... Everything about this is weird and uncomfortable for everyone. And obviously, I'm not saying she killed her husband or knew about it or whatever. I'm saying the guy got shot three months ago and she walks out to a pyrotechnic display and then she goes, we're going to elect J.D. Vance. It's weird that that's where her head is at. It's difficult for many people to relate to.
Starting point is 00:01:48 It's not relatable for people that talked about how Hollywood is in. relatable and Hollywood is out of touch this looks a lot like Hollywood to most people and to go out through a stream of fireworks and sparklers and stand there in a glittering pantsuit and talk about electing J.D. Vance. Three months after your husband was killed, many people feel that there is something off about that. And we're starting to see that political people are the exact same thing as the Hollywood elites
Starting point is 00:02:40 that they all love to dunk on. And we all look at this. This is Megan the Stallion twerking at the Kamala rally. This is deeply unsettling to a lot of people. It feels like you're being played. You feel it. It seems off. You feel like this is a coordinated and choreographed spectacle so that you are played. They want your money. That's what they got mad at Kansas about. They're like, why are you telling people not to give us money? She's also saying you
Starting point is 00:03:24 killed the guy. Why are you mad about the money? They're just mad that they're not getting money. They want your money and they want to be celebrities. You know, and okay, some of them are, but it just feels odd. This is everything they hate that they don't like, that they're not about. They're not about this stuff. They believe in the sacred family and tradition and blah-bidi-blabody-blah.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And the women are in the house with the kids and what? What part of the traditionalism is the pyrotechnics and the fireworks and it feels really weird. I mean, let's take a listen here to her. Yeah, I just, you know. And the woman's been through a lot. And I know that, you know, people are going to accuse me of being insensitive. But she feels like she's handling this death better than anyone I've ever seen. I mean, and by the way, kudos to her strength.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I've never seen a human being bounce back like this. Talk about a bounce back. I've never in my life. I know people that have lost cats and dogs who couldn't do this in the time frame that she has done it. I give her her flowers. Okay?
Starting point is 00:05:21 God bless you are killing it it just feels to people again I have no investment in shitting on the woman I don't care I don't agree with a lot of these people
Starting point is 00:05:39 I don't this organization means nothing to me I don't I don't think it's a evil thing or a good thing I'm looking at this like a reality show that has gone off the rails
Starting point is 00:05:57 a reality show where someone, one of the producers of a reality show, because that's the way reality shows work. There are producers who get the women drunk, put them in a restaurant, and go fight, and we got to
Starting point is 00:06:13 film it. Um, and the producers are the ones on the reality show that arrange the storyline of what you're going to hear and see. One of those producers here needs to whisper in somebody's ear, hey, I don't know what this storyline is. But we think there's a high likelihood that this is going to turn a lot of people off,
Starting point is 00:06:46 that a lot of people are going to see this. the constant begging for the money, the constant J.D. Vance of it all, we're going to elect Jady Vance. The election's three years away. There's something deeply unsettling about this spectacle. It makes Mamdani and AOC look great. The far left in this country, the grand platiners,
Starting point is 00:07:15 they've been, and again, a lot of their policies I wouldn't love. but they seem mature and dignified, truly. Because this has become like a weird quasi-religious, like, undertaking that involves glittering sequin gowns and appeals for more and more money. and it doesn't feel, it feels righteous gemstones. It has, it's righteous gemstones coated a little bit. You know, I don't, I don't get it. I don't know what this was supposed to be. Maybe this is what it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Can we listen to a little bit of, um, friend of the show, Erica Kirk here at Turning Point USA Let's play Do we have the clip Where she's talking about Vance? Let's play that We're going to ensure that
Starting point is 00:08:24 President Trump Has Congress for all four years We are going to get My husband's friend J.D. Vance elected for 48 and the most resounding way possible.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yeah, I just feel I cannot describe to you how if you are a normal human being, this gives you pause. Your spidey senses go off. You feel odd. If you're a normal human being, you look at this and you go 90 days after this guy tragically gets assassinated, this has become a very, very grotesque display of the quest for raw power, led by his widow?
Starting point is 00:09:28 It's like odd to a lot of people. It's odd. There were things about it that were, you know, I'm sure nice. I'm sure they did a memorial. I don't know. but this politicizing of of her i'm the CEO i'm the i'm carrying his message that leaves a lot of people feeling odd and fine whatever and i'm sure there's a lot of people that love it there's a lot of people that love it but
Starting point is 00:10:10 Every speech that I watched, I only watched a few, was a speech that, and I watched Shapiro and Tucker, this is descending into a movement about personalities, about personalities, about people, not really about ideas. It's kind of become about people And it's kind of become boring And it's not to say That there aren't like important issues at stake But it feels weird
Starting point is 00:10:56 When you're watching it That all these people have personal grudges And they're airing out You know, things Listen, there are people that I don't get along with that may not like me and it's not even that I don't get along with them they just may view me in a negative light
Starting point is 00:11:16 because they are they're you know they have an impression of me that is negative and I may feel the same way about other people the minute you go you start engaging in this kind of
Starting point is 00:11:37 of back and forth and banter. It feels very small. The thing kind of degenerates into a very small, petty. And even the Trump stuff, it's not as fun. It used to be very fun. Now it's dark. The Rob Reiner stuff, it gets dark. I was at a party in Silver Lake, the east side of L.A.,
Starting point is 00:12:00 where the artsy people live. And there were people there that probably don't love me. But I was there for a friend's special release party And everyone there was really, really cool And maybe some of them didn't like me And I have no problem with any of them I'm judging based on You know, you know, an idea
Starting point is 00:12:25 That some of the people there may have hated my guts But I don't know But did probably but it was a lovely event because nobody really talked about anything that would be controversial. You know, nothing came up.
Starting point is 00:12:52 It was very, and I don't care if people leave and hate me or, you know, I leave and hate them. And I don't think anyone's really hating anyone. But I think, like, maybe there are people there that are like, I don't know about that guy. And that's fair. But we didn't get into it on any level,
Starting point is 00:13:17 nor would we ever, because, you know, I feel like there's nothing to be gained from that you know especially if you can look at somebody who you disagree with in some real profound ways
Starting point is 00:13:43 but say we're both rich and successful and many of the people at this party are they're not and even though you may not love some of my ideas, and I don't love some of your ideas. I respect the fact that you are rich and successful. And I just want that respect from you as well.
Starting point is 00:14:12 And I got it. It's actually lovely. And we can have a very fake, superficial, good time at this party. because that's what life's about. That is what life is about. It's not about getting to the bottom of it. Lies. Lies. It's not about burying a hatchet.
Starting point is 00:14:45 What hatchet? What? It's not about mutual understanding. And it certainly ain't about mutual respect. It ain't about any of that. What it's about is a surface level acknowledgement that we can simulate. This is a simulation. And in this simulation, at this moment, we're friendly and we are.
Starting point is 00:15:22 And no matter what happens, you can leave and you can go on social, media, that fascist pig, it's okay. It's okay because when it mattered, we both showed up and whoever it is, whoever these people in the world are that you have issues with, you can show up
Starting point is 00:15:45 to be a fake version of your You can be a hollow version of yourself. You can come and make small talk and build on that. You can build on nothing and build more nothing until you have castles of nothing. And that's where we can all live. in castles of nothing.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Why would we argue about anything? We can just, we're human beings, people are human beings, okay? That's my point. I was at this party and I was like, Harvey, fuck, I keep saying, I don't know why I'm saying this. And I keep saying Rob Reiner, but instead I'm saying Harvey Weinstein, just because it's L.A. such a bad, you know.
Starting point is 00:16:58 At the party, we found out that Rob Reiner was killed by his son, a tragic event. We've all wanted to kill our parents. We don't do it. You don't do it. Okay? It's the holidays.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Now, you realize in that moment when he is killed by his son, you realize that life is short. Not for him. He lived a long life. But you realize that life is precious. Why argue about nonsense? He was at Conan O'Brien's party having an argument with his parents the night before. When you hear that, you realize Conan O'Brien at a party you weren't invited to.
Starting point is 00:17:54 that's what I realized. And I thought about that. And people said it's horrible that that man lost his life. And I said, where was that party? And they said, it was horrible. He stabbed his mother and his father. And I said, is it in the Palisades house? Because he still has that house that didn't burn down.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And they went, well, the kid had been schizophrenic his whole life. He's been in and out of rehab. And it was like a really big. And I go, who gets to go to that? Is it like people he handpicks or? that's what's important. Do you know how much better this episode would have been if I was at the Conan O'Brien Christmas party?
Starting point is 00:18:35 Do you know how much more worthwhile this old thing would have been? Had I been a witness to that? But I was not invited. I was not invited because there's an idea in this town that I'm not a team player simply because I have trashed people, publicly and privately and the directors of huge film franchises and agents and managers and business managers and my colleagues, other actors, politicians, members of the judiciary, my family,
Starting point is 00:19:11 personal friends. Because of that, I am blacklisted from events that I would be fucking great at. So I'm forced to be in a Silver Lake backyard, okay, making peace with whatever, like, like, like people instead of being, okay, Emmy winners, a few, one or two, total respect, shows I like, and watch. But I'm not at other things that I should be at. I literally should be invited to every party in this town and when you hear that somebody was stabbed to death by their child in their house and before that they were at a huge party that you weren't invited to the first instinct you have is why why why was i not invited why i've said nothing negative about conan i love him i love irish people he's brilliant whatever

Starting point is 00:21:29 Terms and conditions apply. You know, you hear the news. This man, this legend of comedy, Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, tragically meeting their end. And, you know, you think I never met him. I was never invited to his home. I, there's so many people I have not met that I deserve to meet.
Starting point is 00:21:55 And that's what you really start to think about. You start to think about the people you haven't met, the parties you haven't been to, the things you haven't done. That's what the holidays are about, the real stuff. and the fake, superficial, but lovely chats you could have with many people that have a myriad of views and they don't, they don't have to agree with you. You're at a party and they're at a party. You know, that's the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:22:39 and if this guy, and can I say something now, can I just say a thing because I have this platform and it's all I have because I've been robbed of everything else. They've taken everything else from me. But can I say one thing and I don't, and I'm not throwing shade at anyone at that party. I'm certainly not throwing shade at Coney. I'm not throwing shit at any of these people.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I think Bill Hader is a genius. I love Barry. People took a photo of him. I don't even know why. I don't even know why. Can I say one thing? Am I allowed on my own platform to say one thing? Had I been at that party and had I spoken to Nick Reiner,
Starting point is 00:23:18 Rob Reiner's alive. He is. No, he is. No, he is. So I'm not trying to guilt to anyone. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad. But if I was at the Conan party, not even invited, if I was at the Conan party and I could have grabbed Nick Reiner
Starting point is 00:23:35 and took him outside and given him a Marlboro light and chatted with him. He was probably a fan of this show or other shows I've done. And Nick Reiner medication for schizophrenia. Yeah, definitely watches this show. Definitely a podcast fan.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I would have been able to convince him with my charm, with my wit, with my personality. I'm quick on my feet. I would have been able to say, hey, don't do this. Hey, don't do it. So I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:24:07 the people that don't invite me have blood on their hands okay and I don't mean to say I'm not trying to be difficult I'm actually not it sounds like I am I'm not trying but if you have not invited me to a party in L.A.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And a schizophrenic my mother's a schizophrenic I actually know how to handle them I know how to handle them first of all the first thing you say to a schizophrenic is you're right you don't argue with them when I read they were arguing
Starting point is 00:24:40 with this schizo at Conan's fucking house which I believe is actually beautiful I wouldn't know they're arguing with this schizo you don't fight with a schizo when my mother said something I went you're right hon lock her up
Starting point is 00:24:56 you don't argue with a schizophrenic you put them in a home now so I don't know what the fight was about. I don't know what it was over. I don't know if it was political or whatever the case would be. Can you show the picture of Rob and the Sun? Because the Sun, no, no, no, not that one. You know the one everyone's sharing where you can see that the Sun has some problems. And by the way, it's a tragic thing that happened. And it didn't have to happen. Had I been there, it wouldn't
Starting point is 00:25:24 happen. I mean, I don't know what to say. I know people don't want to hear that. They're going to be upset. This is going to be another thing. I won't get invited to another thing. Did you hear what he said? He said he would have. Well, I would have. I know how to deal with schizophrenics, especially in a mansion. My mother was living in a bungalow, and we dealt with her. I would know how to deal with a schizophrenic in a mansion. That's actually what I'm designed for. Can you imagine me and a schizophrenic in a large kitchen?
Starting point is 00:25:58 It would work. He would leave that house, and he would go, that's a great guy I met and I'm not killing anyone. But instead we had the other thing. I don't know. It's not that one. It's another one. But you can edit that one in or whatever. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:26:15 The guy had problems. The guy had drug issues. I'm on, I don't I don't pretend to know play this a little bit, please. Out front now, Alan Horn. He's a longtime friend of Rob Reiner. They were dear friends for over 50 years. They co-founded Castle Rock Entertainment
Starting point is 00:26:35 together. Alan's currently a consultant for Warner Brothers Discovery, parent company, of course, of CNN. And Alan, I am really it's hard to even find words to say, you know, sorry for this shocking. By the way, can you
Starting point is 00:26:51 stop that? This is a pet peeve of mine. What do you mean it's hard to find words? You work at CNN. Your literal only job is to find words. No one is asking you to do anything else except find words. Just find the words. Say, I'm sorry for your loss. That's what you say. They all do this. I can't even find the words. Here they are. I'm sorry for your loss. Those are the words.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And why was Tim Dillon not in the party to diffuse the situation? And then that guy would go, who the hell is that? And then she would go, you're part of the problem. There's a generation. problem here in media and entertainment. Okay? By the way, the podcast awards, they don't nominate Rogan or Theo or Matt and Shane or Comtown. I mean, they should even post-humously.
Starting point is 00:27:46 You know, it's not around anymore, but they don't nominate the Tim Dillon show. They don't nominate bad friends. They don't nominate any of these shows, flagrant, whatever. They don't nominate any of these things. They nominate none of those shows. Yet, those shows are the most powerful shows
Starting point is 00:28:02 in the world. supposedly and elected the president, but none of them got nominated. That category has no credibility. And I like some of the people in that category, Amy Poehler, Smartless, whatever. But you have zero credibility if you're not nominating a few of the shows that I talked about. Not even mine. You don't have to nominate mine. Let's hear this, please.
Starting point is 00:28:24 This is your dear friend, one of your dearest friends. And, you know, for anyone watching, I mean, this is a man that is with you on the day your daughter. was born on the day, right, right, your daughter, Cody. Rob described you as like a big brother to him. How do you even process the fact that this has just happened? Well, Aaron, first of all, are they going to get to the thing? Yeah, we can't watch five minutes.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Are we going to get to the spot where Bill Hader tried to get him kicked out of the party? or something based on what he said. The couple's youngest son attended the comedian's party on Saturday with Rob 78 and Michelle 68. He was brought to the party so that his parents could keep an eye on him. Sources told Rolling Stone. While there, however, Nick interrupted comedian Bill Hader with a series of unsettling questions according to the Wall Street Journal.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Nick allegedly asked Hayter and several other guests the same set of questions. What's your name? What's your last name? Are You Famous? By the way, fair. Nick allegedly asked Hater and several other guests the same set of questions. What's your name? What's your last name? Are you famous?
Starting point is 00:29:48 I thought he was threatening to kill his parents at the party. Are these people angry that he questioned their fame? Maybe they were like, maybe they were standing there and he's like, are you famous? And they're like, what are you, a schizophrenic? I'm very famous. Rob and his son got into a heated argument during the party with one guest alleging that Rob told his son that his behavior was inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Another guest told the New York Times that Nick seemed anxious and uncomfortable through the night in a way that deeply unsettled them. A guest similarly revealed to people, Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous. Nick eventually was asked to leave and the bodies were found less than 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:30:33 this is tough. I get it. This is a tragic thing. Titan of comedy. Horrible. Not good. I should have been at the party. I would have been able to help. Again, I don't want to make it about me. I don't want it to be like, oh, it's about me. Not about me. I was at another lesser event in Silver Lake. God help me. lovely people lovely people okay I was at this party and it was lovely
Starting point is 00:31:05 and they had lotkas and it was a Hanukkah thing and there was comedy special and it was lovely it was nice it was a rental and Silver Lake where I was a rental
Starting point is 00:31:20 while there was someone who needed care someone who needed care in the palisades and I could have been there to help, but I was not. Something to think about in the future, but whatever. The Barry Weiss Town Hall with Erica Kirk flopped, unfortunately. It didn't do well.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And then Barry's now pursuing J.D. Vance for a town hall. That's going to be a barn burner. And then Elon Musk, those. are the two names she wants. Yeah, it's not good. It wasn't good. It was very boring. The town hall was very boring.
Starting point is 00:32:13 It was just not fun. It was like terrible. Barry, honey, lovey, lovey dove. Get off the air. Get into the back room. Get off the air. Nobody wants you a pout.
Starting point is 00:32:35 She pouts, Barry. She has a pout. It is not what people want when they turn on the tube. It's to see your pout. It's not, it's like a disappointed mom energy. We don't want it off. Does it work? So that flopped.
Starting point is 00:32:57 The Epstein files, they said they were going to come out. They're not coming out. Or they're coming out, but they're heavily redacted. 500 pages in the Epstein files were entirely blacked out. It's very obvious to everyone that Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence agent that was working on behalf of Israel and the United States to a degree. But this is why the files are not coming out. They're not, it's not because Trump is protecting billionaire friends
Starting point is 00:33:31 that he's never cared about. He's not falling on the sword for his friends. That's not the Trump we know and love. The Trump we know and love is throwing people in front of a car so that he doesn't get hit. That's why people in this country elected him. That's the character of an American. The character of an American is someone who throws their wife
Starting point is 00:33:56 in front of a fire to give themselves another few minutes to get out of the house. That's because America is about survival. It's about survival. It's not an emotional country. Like, we're all psychotic, but it's not an emotion.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Like, when people call me a nihistic sociopath, like they do all the time in the press, I'm simply telling people what it is. And no one wants to hear it. So they get all angry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The idea that this is like a deeply spiritual country of loving people, it's like psychotic to believe that.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Can you imagine believing that? That this country is full of heroic people, heroes, heroes just walking around every day, giving of themselves for their communities and families, that you couldn't convince someone of that, you couldn't convince Nick Reiner of that on whatever the hell he was on. So this idea that Donald Trump is falling on a sword for other billionaires that he doesn't want,
Starting point is 00:35:09 he doesn't want to be seen, that he doesn't want them to be seen in a bad light. Does it make any sense? Let's throw that explanation out, okay? Explanation number two. The Cash Patel explanation. there's nothing there there's thousands of pages of documents that have been redacted by the CIA
Starting point is 00:35:31 and the FBI but none of them say anything because nothing even happened remember that was how this all started Pam Bondi and Cash Patel the Keystone cops were like this thing's not even real so like what it's a hoax it's fake
Starting point is 00:35:47 it's been grossly exaggerated and none of it he was a pervert and a freak but there was no accomplices. He didn't do anything. They said that. There were no accomplices. There's 15 pictures out right now
Starting point is 00:36:02 of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and this guy windsurfing or whatever. And apparently this guy, you know, nothing was ever happening or going on because this was just like a weird rich guy, a weird pervert. And, you know, by the way, it's funny you see these photos.
Starting point is 00:36:23 this is the only time you've ever seen any of these people having fun. So that was explanation number two, why they're not coming out. Explanation number three, which I find more plausible, because I have gotten rid of explanation one and two. And to review, explanation one, Donald Trump feels really bad
Starting point is 00:36:52 for like other people and wants to protect their image that was explanation number one that like Donald Trump is like hung up on the idea that like a buddy or two of his might go down here and he's like that like
Starting point is 00:37:10 bums him out so he's like going to fall on the sword and you know basically like take the heat for other people in an act of selflessness, he was going to throw himself in front of the bus because other people might be inconvenienced by this, to say the least.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Explanation number two, none of this ever happened, none of these people ever did anything wrong. There was no trafficking ring. There were no accomplices. nothing, nothing even happened. Now, that was explanation two, given to you by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. That was their response. Remember, that was option two, given to you by who? Your aunt?
Starting point is 00:38:09 No, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now, option three, a reason that many people don't think it's coming out is because Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intelligence agencies in Israel, America. Maybe he was working with the Brits, maybe the French, maybe he got around. And what he was doing was he was a conduit between powerful people, people that were current government officials, former government officials, you know, corporate leaders,
Starting point is 00:38:55 you know, whatever. The jet set, as they call them. And Jeffrey Epstein was finding ways for all of these people to make money whilst blackmailing them and videotaping their liaison with underage people. They're illegal, immoral, discussing evil acts.
Starting point is 00:39:20 And then keeping the tapes or selling them to the highest bidder or using them as leverage or whatever the case may be. But that would require, option three would require like a pretty like big public fallout when and if that information became public that our own government or an allied government was blackmailing people. And when I say our government, I mean factions. I don't mean everybody.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I don't mean your aunt who's the cop troller in New Jersey. I mean deeply powerful factions of our intelligence community blackmailing congressmen, senators, presidents, prime ministers. Okay? Morgan and Morgan's a law firm. Did you slip on the butter
Starting point is 00:40:28 that was left out? You're eating French fries at the beach and you want to take a quick dip in the ocean. You put a seagull on watch. That's not security. It's catering for the seagull. I've read that so many times. I have no idea what that means. There's a reason you wouldn't trust a seagull with your fries just like there's a reason you wouldn't trust
Starting point is 00:40:45 insurance companies with your case oh i get it now because when people show up whether it's for help or answers or justice they deserve somebody who's actually on their side hire morgan and morgan i love these guys they've been working for over 35 years thousand lawyers a hundred offices nationwide hiring morgan and morgan is like hiring an army that has your back if you're injured by somebody else's negligence you deserve to be paid and here's the truth not all law firms are the same hire the wrong one and you may be beat before you even start if you're ever injured you can check out morgan and morgan here's my favorite thing about morgan and morgan their fees free unless they win for more information go the for the people dot com slash tim that's f oar the people
Starting point is 00:41:28 dot com slash t i'm this is a paid advertisement i cannot get enough of neuro gum ever feel like you're running an empty staring at your screen hitting that afternoon crash and debating another coffee your energy drink. Enter neuro gum and mince. Neuro's energy and focus gum and mince give you clean focus energy without the crash sugar or sketchy ingredients. It's time to switch to good energy. It's the easiest upgrade I made to my wellness and energy routine.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Here's what I made the energy switch. Personal story. This is a personal story of mine. I took the gum because I wanted more energy and it's been great. Neuro also offers caffeine-free options for all-day wellness support. Neuro's memory and focus gum are made with American ginseng. Not that foreign ginseng. American ginseng to support mental clarity minus the jitters.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Neurosleep and recharge mints offer melatonin and chamomil to help you unwind and rest without the pills of the sugary gummies. For limited time, you can get 20% off your first order at neurogum.com. Use promo code T.m. That's neurogum.com and use code TAM. for 20% off your first order. You can also find Nero at CVS and Amazon. So that seems to be option three of why it hasn't come out.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Like, for example, you don't really have to know much about anything to know right now that it seems very likely. And I've talked to smart people who believe that there's kind of a civil war within our intelligence. community in America, one faction of our, and by the way, there's multiple factions in the intelligence community. It's not like one and then another and then that's it. But I'm going to talk about one of the divides that I have talked to smart people about. One of the divides is between a group of people in the intelligence community who believe we should get out of the
Starting point is 00:43:36 at least. We should not support Israel in attacking Iran. We should divest from Russia and Ukraine, and we should prepare to fight China. There are people in the national security establishment who believe that. This guy Briggs Colby, who you could bring him up. I want to say he works at the Department of Defense.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I don't exactly know the position offhand. He's one of the people whom advocates that point of view, that we need to position ourselves for a, you know, potentially inevitable conflict on some level with China. And that getting bogged down with, Russia or the Middle East, these kind of endless foreign wars, regime change wars. You'd also put like Tulsi Gabbard in that group, even though I'm disappointed with Tulsi about a lot of shit.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Not that I don't like Tulsi Gabbard or that I don't think she's good at tough mutters and I like people from Hawaii and whatever, you know, whatever she does. I don't, you know, I like that. But I'm a little disappointed by the fact that, you know, I don't know, the gaslit people, and they continue to do so. When she came out and was like, yeah, all these people are doing this, say their names. What are you, you know, like, what are we stupid? You know, there's something going on because Joe Kent came out and asked Cash Patel.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I want to look into potential foreign intelligence in the Kirk assassination. And Cash Patel's like, fuck you. You're not getting any of these files. And so you have Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent, kind of on one side of this, going, I want to look at foreign intelligence, whatever, whatever happened or it didn't happen. We just want to see the files.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Cash Patel's like, it's an ongoing investigation. You cannot see the files. And fuck you. So right there is a public rift of that war that I'm talking about, that kind of, you know, underground conflict between factions in our intelligence community. You have the FBI, you have Kesh Patel, you have that, the Bureau going,
Starting point is 00:46:17 don't compromise our investigation, you have Joe Kent going, we want to know about what happened with the oversight. Here. So here is the, this Colby, Pentagon Policy Chiefs' rogue decisions have irked U.S. Allies in the Trump administration. This is a political hit piece, right? So this is a political hit piece, okay? And this is a, this was written in July, I believe, right?
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yeah. So this is a faction of people. And this guy is, again, not like the highest level guy, but he's pretty high level. And does it say exactly what? his position is? I think there's a part here about his position on Ukraine. No, his position in the defense department.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Oh. I think he might be like the undersecretary. Yeah, he might be an undersecretary. I believe that's what he is. Since joining the second Trump administration as the Pentagon's top policy chief. Okay. So that's a faction. Okay?
Starting point is 00:47:29 that's clearly not the only faction. There's another faction that wants more interventions that believes that the power vacuum in the Middle East gets filled by China and Russia. And that faction of people is more aligned with neo-conservative people in those departments. And they want Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. And the Colby faction wants J.D. Vance.
Starting point is 00:47:59 And the Tucker faction, Colby, not the Tucker's the CIA, but Tucker clearly has a preference for Vance and for that foreign policy position prevailing that we should not be in, embroiled in the Middle East. Although he does like Qatar, because we're not fighting wars, he would say we're not fighting wars on behalf of Qatar. Those are factions.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Get up the Joe Kent stuff with, with Tulsi and Cash Patel. These are different factions that are fighting for control of whatever comes after Trump. And this is kind of a, it's a conflict that smart people know about. And I'm not saying if you know about it, if you don't know about it, you're not smart. I'm just saying like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:51 You're not reading, you have a life, right? So you're like, have a family and a job. So you're not reading all this crap that I read and you're talking these crazy people. It's all I do all day is talk to crazy people. They're interesting, to a degree, but they're insane. And, you know, they have very interesting positions all over, you know, in media and government or whatever, and they're interesting and they're nuts, and they believe
Starting point is 00:49:11 X or Y or Z, and you really don't know who's who or who's who's, why anyone believes anything and who's getting paid and whatever. It's an odd world. But these are the factions that are lining up. And it's all about control of money. and control of power. And who gets their friends in? Who gets their people in?
Starting point is 00:49:35 Who's able to go in with their crew and staff all of these agencies and try, because again, these agencies are not always going to be responsive to the incoming administration. And they've been trying to fire that guy forever, by the way. A lot of people want that guy fired. That's why Politico wrote that hit piece.
Starting point is 00:49:59 He tried to, you know, stop arms shipments to Ukraine. You know, he's position on this stuff's kind of known. But a lot of people don't want that guy in. Counterterrorism nominee Joe Kent, under scrutiny, as e-mails show he pushed for edits to intelligence assessment. Okay, this is not... But here, just to show you who he is, is obtained by CBS News show Joe Kent,
Starting point is 00:50:28 who currently serves to the chief of staff to director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. So that's what he does. Okay? He is the chief of staff to director... Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, whatever, it's kind of a fake job.
Starting point is 00:50:48 They're trying to do the best that they can, I guess, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. But he asked Cash Patel. to see the files that they had on the Charlie Kirk case. And the request was flat out denied. They're like, no. We're not going to show you what we have. It's an ongoing investigation.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I don't know why it's ongoing. I thought they got the guy. And I don't know why he's required. You're like, I don't know why anyone's talking about foreign intelligence with this assassination. Again, I'm confused. So, but that's, again, just an example of, yeah, officials access to FBI files in Charlie Kirk case, Drew pushback. An inquiry by Joe Kent, who leads the National Counterterrorism Center, is said to have slammed to have alarmed Cash Patel, the FBI director. They don't want them poking around.
Starting point is 00:51:50 This is not completely unprecedented and rare. the FBI does not like that there are other agencies that have oversight. The inquiry by Joe Kent, the director of the Counterterrorism Center, Alarmed Cash Patel, the director of the FBI, Mr. Patel and other senior officials believe Mr. Kent was overstepping, treading on FBI responsibilities and potentially interfering with the investigation and prosecution of Tyler Robinson. But supporters of Mr. Kent say he was doing his job running down leads and making sure no foreign or domestic groups
Starting point is 00:52:23 were linked to Mr. Kirk's death. So you see the little schisms happening. We had a very weird shooting at MIT. A weird shooting at Brown. Horrible shooting at Brown. Horrible that anyone loses their life ever in a horrible way like that. A young woman, two people at Brown.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Yeah, two people. Two people at Brown. and then a nuclear fusion scientist, something like that, right? Yes, from MIT. From MIT. And the same guy killed all of them and then killed himself in a storage shed. Let's listen to a little bit of this.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Again, this is probably something that will disappear from the news in a day. And no one will ever know what happened. But it's fucking weird. it's a little weird that a guy walked onto the campus of Brown shot these two people and then shot a guy from MIT and they killed himself
Starting point is 00:53:31 in a storage shed. Let's hear a little bit of this. Two shootings at two major schools in the Northeast and police now say they could be connected. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Kira Phillips. We begin with that breaking news. Multiple sources briefed on the investigation telling ABC News the mass shooting at Brown University and the murder of an MIT professor in Massachusetts may be linked.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Let's bring in our Christian Cordero there on the scene in Providence, Rhode Island. Also, our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Kutterski, plus our contributor and former NYPD chief of detectives, Robert Boyce. So, Aaron, what do we know now? Law enforcement sources tell ABC News, Kira, that the shooting at Brown University that killed two students may, in fact, be connected to the shooting death, the apparent murder of MIT professor Nuno Lollero, who was shot and killed on the foyer of his
Starting point is 00:54:24 Brookline home on Monday night, pronounced dead on Tuesday morning at the hospital. At first, the FBI said there was no known connection. But in the last 24 hours, sources told ABC News that the investigative teams on both the cases began to compare notes and information started to gel that the two shooting incidents may in fact be connected. The authorities have not said this publicly, but this is what we're hearing now from multiple law enforcement sources. We also understand that authorities may be close to naming a suspect. So we have the suspect.
Starting point is 00:55:01 We have the guy that did this. He's dead and he killed himself in his storage shed. What's his name? I don't know why nothing seems to me. make sense anymore. And I don't want to sound like a nut. And I'm not saying and alleging that we're always, everything's a lie all the time. But it is just odd that like crimes used to have motives. You know, when I grew up, crimes had motives. Like somebody would do something and there would be a tangible reason as to why that person did it. And the news media would doggedly
Starting point is 00:55:38 try to find out why the person did the crime. And now that that's, that's, that's, that's, that's kind of less of a thing. Now you're just, now it's like clue. It's like a weird thing of clue where they're like, he killed someone in the meat locker with the hair, with the hair dryer. And you go, okay. And he's like, well, he shot somebody in the frozen foods aisle
Starting point is 00:56:06 with, you know, the bazooka. And you go, oh, okay, but why? Well, we don't know. Right. Well, he was basically, he had a samurai sword, and he was in the phone booth, and he cut the guy's head off. But nobody really knows why. A Reddit post from a homeless man at Brown University helped investigators find the mass shooter. Well, thank God. Thank God that, by the way, this is Cash Patel's FBI. it is now come down to a Reddit post from a homeless person. So if you're killed in this country,
Starting point is 00:56:50 you better hope that a vagrant tweets about it so that Cash Patel can find out. Hope they tweet at FBI director, at Cash, I just killed someone. Literally Reddit pages where homeless people post are the only people doing any investigations in this country. Them and Kansas Owens. Let's watch this.
Starting point is 00:57:16 This was just them like searching for the snow for footprints. Oh, good. Look at this. Look at the FBI searching for footprints in the snow. This is the biggest joke. I mean, they're doing a dance. These people are doing a dance. They're doing a ceremonial dance
Starting point is 00:57:34 because they just did a human sacrifice. Who was the guy that got shot at MIT? who was that guy And what did he do? He was a scientist, right? He was a nuclear fusion. He was a nuclear fusion scientist and now Trump just signed a deal
Starting point is 00:57:52 with a fusion company like today. Yeah. And there was a guy on the board of that company I think who knew this guy. Why is truth so? social owner merging with
Starting point is 00:58:16 why is truth social owner Trump media merging with a fusion energy firm? So on a day after this guy gets whacked Trump Media and Technology Group owner of Donald Trump's truth social media platform announced a merger on Wednesday with a company
Starting point is 00:58:34 developing fusion energy technology. Interesting. Fun. fun and this guy was a fusion scientist just whacked a day before again I'm not saying there's anything there it's just fun to know who is the suspect
Starting point is 00:58:52 go back to that so a Reddit thread posted by a homeless guy you don't think of the homeless on Reddit but I imagine many of them are um let's read this here is there yeah
Starting point is 00:59:06 police are probably going to sift through a lot more Reddit posts in the future. One of those online posts played a big role in helping investigators find the suspect who killed two students in Brown. Remember, Cash Patel, they said they had the guy, they used geolocation, whatever, you know, they traced his phone, and then they had to let him go. This is what they do over there at the FBI. They find someone, and then they announce to the public, they're like,
Starting point is 00:59:33 we've used geolocation to find the, and then they have to let them go. Great. The 48-year-old suspect, Claudio Neves Valenti, was found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility Thursday night. Authorities say he killed Brown University students, Muhammad Aziz, Ummerkuzov, and Ella Cook, and then murdered MIT professor Nuno Luriero. It took investigators a long time to ID the suspect after the mass shooting Saturday night in Providence, followed by the assassination of the professor Monday night. Then on Tuesday, authorities received a tip from an anonymous source about a Reddit post on the Providence subreddit, according to the affidavit.
Starting point is 01:00:14 The Reddit poster, a homeless man, claimed that he saw the suspected shooter walking in the area of the Brown University mass shooting. Quote, I'm being dead serious, reads the Reddit post. The police need to look into a gray Nissan with Florida plates, possibly a rental. That was the car he was driving. So Cash Patel and the FBI are now relying on the homeless. to solve the crimes. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Folks, they're relying on the homeless. The reason the Epstein list isn't out is because the homeless haven't gotten involved. This is why they, Cash Patel didn't realize that there was a human trafficking ring that Epstein was running because a homeless guy hadn't posted about it on Reddit. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now depending
Starting point is 01:01:06 on the homeless in the country. Up until that point in the investigation, police had not released any videos with a great Nissan or vehicle in Florida plates based on the tip. So basically the homeless are doing a better job than Cash Patel's FBI. And Cash Patel, by the way,
Starting point is 01:01:21 while this is all happening, is on a podcast with his girlfriend. He's on a podcast with his girlfriend. Okay? Dan Bongino just left the FBI to come back to podcasting. Welcome back, brother. Who predicted that?
Starting point is 01:01:36 a year ago. The guy that didn't get invited to Conan's party. That guy. Bonino's coming back to a place where you can make a goddamn difference. The desk. Come back to the podcast world. We can make change here. It's not like the fucking feds. Can we watch a little bit of this abortion? Can you, this is the director. Folks, this is the director. I will, I'm going to campaign for AOC. I will campaign for Mom Donnie. I am putting the burq
Starting point is 01:02:10 on. This is the campaign. I'm sorry. This is the director of the Federal Bureau of investigation. This girl in Brown University was shot in her face and tragically lost her life. And I'm not to be kidding
Starting point is 01:02:26 anymore. She tragically lost her life. She was shot in the head. Okay? This fool with his girlfriend is on a fucking podcast, Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife. This isn't even a high-rated podcast. This isn't even a big one.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Okay? This isn't even a big fucking podcast. This ain't call her daddy. This is some dumb shit. This is not even worth it. They don't even get good views. Let's watch a little bit of this. Disgusting.
Starting point is 01:02:58 On a personal level, of course, I wish we didn't have to deal with the attacks. Like, she should be out there touring and... She should be out there touring. call AOC I'm giving her money I swear to God and I was never even Listen
Starting point is 01:03:13 I was never a huge fan of this guy Because I didn't know much about him And it felt weird It all felt weird And now it's fucking insane But I am donating money To I mean it's just This is couldn't have
Starting point is 01:03:30 I mean it's just It's good for my show And it's good for the podcast world, which is why Dan Bonjino, I think, is coming back to us. Because truly that's what this is good for, is like, it's fodder. But what an embarrassment for the country. She should be out touring. We don't like the attacks.
Starting point is 01:03:49 She should be out touring. There's a girl at Brown University that's shot in the face. Fire him. Fire him. Are you people fucking nuts? You're up at Turning Point USA. arguing with each other calling each other
Starting point is 01:04:04 fucking feds or whatever and this guy who's a legitimate fed is saying his girlfriend should be touring while someone got shot in a face and they don't have the person who did it and he's deciding to go on a podcast
Starting point is 01:04:20 it's a bad reality show it's fucking terrible here let's go stage as she always has been and she shouldn't have to deal with weird set as well not a good set Keep going. Sorry. Collateral consequence of just being the FBI director's girlfriend,
Starting point is 01:04:35 but I think with the hyper-sensitive nature of the media, especially the social media space, people come at you because it takes me back to like when I first did a investigation. And he has red, white and blue socks on. Call Hassan Piker. Go just donate us, just give Hassan Piker a super chat right now. Call those that retarded withers, whatever his name is, those fucking twinks from Colorado.
Starting point is 01:05:00 that live in a mountain that keeps screaming. Maybe we won't go that far, but I'm just saying this. What, it's just absurd. Anyway, get the matter. I can't even listen. Can't even listen to them. Let me tell you something, and you need to hear it. We live in a world that is designed to steal from you. It's designed to leave you exposed in the greatest scam of all the data brokers.
Starting point is 01:05:17 These people are selling your life, your credit score and pictures of your grotesque family to the highest bidder. We all talk about how every move we make leaves a trail, a tax, pathetic post. Every time you buy a coffee, nothing disappears. And that's the problem. After seeing it with these scammers and identity thieves, they're doing with stolen data, it genuinely hit me. We're all walking targets.
Starting point is 01:05:34 You know, you read the news, and every week there's another big company being hit by a data breach. You think, well, I never did business with them. But somehow your personal information has been leaked by the data anyway. How does this happen? Because these data brokers sold it to them. Your data is being passed around like a cheap whore at a finance pro party. Incogny stops that transaction. I had a situation recently, and this is a true story, where somebody was trying to open a bunch of credit accounts in my name.
Starting point is 01:05:58 They had my old address, my phone number, even the name of my dog, which is confidential. This information was out there sold by some loser data broker for $5. Criminals can open, credit accounts, file, tax returns, and even commit crimes in your name. Just by buying up these pathetic little spreadsheets of your life, it's disgusting. That's why you need to realize that incogny isn't just about deleting your data from a few lists. It's about removing yourself from the internet, vanishing from the digital grid before it collapses and takes your identity with it. That's why I use incogny and you should too.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Incogny reaches out to these companies and tells them to delete your information. You give them permission once, and they relentlessly handle the rest. Incogni works in the background and silently removes your information. And now, it's 3 a.m. And now they've launched this feature. It's brilliant. It's a total game changer. And it's what you need if you have a stalker at X, somebody who just hates your guts.
Starting point is 01:06:43 I'm talking about Incogni's new custom removal feature, available in the Unlimited and Family Unlimited plans. This is huge. If you see your private information, maybe your actual home address phone number floating around on a specific scummy site, you can flag it, and Incogni will go after it. This is the kind of protection you need when the world is full of psychopaths and losers
Starting point is 01:07:01 and want to ruin your life. Criminals can be exposed by personal information, scams, stalking, harassment, other illegal activities. This feature is basically a digital security guard. You know you read the news. Blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:07:14 If you want to protect your privacy and take your information off the market before they use it, bankrupt you and ruin your reputation, go to incogny.com and use code Tim Dillon for 60% off. Their annual plan, that's https. I-N-C-O-G-N-I-Incogny.com. Code Tim Dillon, 60% off. Honestly, one of the best investments you can ever make
Starting point is 01:07:35 for your own peace of mind. Otherwise, you spend months or years repairing the financial and reputational damage left by these pathetic criminals. Your personal data should not be public property. Erase yourself from the internet with incogny. Folks, I cannot say enough good things about ethos. Talk about an experience you or a loved one had
Starting point is 01:07:53 that taught you about the importance of life insurance. Well, I'd be glad to. my cousin Frankie Frankie Felix that's his name he was like I don't need life insurance I'm going to live forever
Starting point is 01:08:11 well guess what happened to Frankie Felix guess what happened to him okay he was at a carnival with his children he wanted to take them to a local car always all fun in games, is it? Frankie Felix and his children.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Well, he took them to a carnival, okay? And he was standing too close to the, we used to call the salt and pepper shaker. It was a ride. And he was decapitated in front of his children. Okay? His head was not clear off his body in front of his children. It was still, his head was on the ground and landed head up
Starting point is 01:08:55 like final destination. with an expression on it. Now, these children were traumatized by that until they found out that ethos was an online platform that makes getting life insurance fast and easy and that Frankie Felix had actually, even though we all made fun of him, he actually had ethos.
Starting point is 01:09:15 And they were happy. It's a trustworthy company that disrupts the traditional life insurance industry. As of March 2025, business insider named Ethos and number one, no medical exam, instant life insurance provider. Protect your family with life insurance from ethos, just like Frankie Felix,
Starting point is 01:09:31 my cousin who was decapitated at a carnival. Get your free quote at ethos.com slash t-im. That's E-T-H-O-S.com slash ch'am. T-I-M. Application times may vary and rates may vary. And thank Frankie Felix's sacrifice. His head was knocked off his body in front of his children so that you could live your life.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Thank you. this is what the Republican Party is because, I mean, it's like, it's really insane. The Democrats will and should win the midterms, and hopefully, you know, they should win the next election. If they can be sane, they may or may not. But if this isn't some kind of fuckery with this thing, with the MIT and the dead and the storage,
Starting point is 01:10:16 if this isn't something, if something dark isn't a foot, then I truly don't know what's going on. there used to be crimes that would have a little bit of that would make some sense and maybe this one will make sense there used to be motives
Starting point is 01:10:31 used to go yeah that guy he's somebody who's fucking his wife he killed them not good but you know you understood it in your mind um now you just again you have it's mad libs
Starting point is 01:10:45 it's mad libs um where you go MIT you write it down you go MIT nuclear scientist this guy's here that guy that if you talk about it
Starting point is 01:10:58 you sound like a conspiracy theorist if you literally would have just tell somebody the actual facts of this you would sound like a conspiracy theorist without mentioning any conspiracies by the way if you just said there was a guy he was a nuclear fusion scientist
Starting point is 01:11:14 MIT crawling with spies shot in his house then at Brown University this girl got shot and then some other guy. Now they found the guy who did it because a homeless guy posted on Reddit
Starting point is 01:11:28 and then the FBI director decided to take a break from his girlfriend's tour schedule to try to arrest a guy who actually was another weird guy who knew this guy he shot. I think they knew each other. Let's find that article. They kind of knew each other.
Starting point is 01:11:46 And he ended up killing himself in a storage facility in New Hampshire. If you were to just say that, you would sound like you were trying to say something else. But everything now is mask off. Everything is mask off. We're at the end of whatever this thing has been, whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Democracy, oligarchy, you know, an attempt at representative government, it is mask off. And all of the factions that I'm talking about, are fighting for a piece and essentially the peace. And that includes the teal tech people, which is, you know, Vance's, you know, would have to eventually, I guess, make clear
Starting point is 01:12:38 what exactly he feels about these people and, you know, what exactly he thinks their role is in a government. They want an AI government. that's obvious. They want to get rid of people in all kinds of positions of power. They don't really believe in the government. That's a faction.
Starting point is 01:13:00 The permanent war machine, that's a faction. The global open borders, free trade, protect trade routes and, you know, ports that are very aligned with the permanent war people, that faction. that's a group. That's a faction. The closed border, paleo-conservative, get ready to fight China, get out of the Middle East, anti-Israel, that's a faction. The pro-Israel people are a faction. They care only about the Greater Israel Project and believe that the United States should be supporting Israel and everything it does. That's a faction. All of these people are factions. The Qataris are a faction. They're getting involved in
Starting point is 01:13:50 the game. And they're saying, we want advocates in America. We want to give people money. All of these people are factions. And what they are fighting for is the last bit of meat on the carcass of this empire. This is absolutely what is quite obvious. Nobody is pretending any more that it is anything other than that. That's exactly. what it is. People know that in the next however many years, it is going to get pretty bad with AI, with climate, all of these things. And they need to figure out how they're going to ride all of that out and get to the next thing. Whatever the next thing is. And they don't say it explicitly. They're not going to bring it up, but they do.
Starting point is 01:14:50 hint every now and then that there's going to be a next thing. They don't believe that democracy's work. They think it's too corrupt. One side says it's the NGOs and the courts, the non-governmental organizations, and they have points. The other side says it is the, you know, patriarchy, the prominence of white men. in positions of power, the, you know, stained history of our country and that all these
Starting point is 01:15:28 things need to be erased and replaced with a system where they have more power. It's just a fight until the end here. Slane MIT professor's physics career flourished as his suspected killers floundered. Claudio Neves Valenti and Nuno Luriera were once peers. Decades later, Valente is believed to have killed L'Oriero days after a rampage at Brown University. So maybe this guy was settling a score. The two young men were peers, brilliant aspiring scientists working toward a degree of Portugal's most prestigious engineering school. A white building at the top of a grassy plaza in Lisbon, a quarter century later, both were in the United States, but their paths had diverged radically. Nuno Luriero was a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a beloved mentor who researched the behavior of plasmus.
Starting point is 01:16:16 Claudio Neves Valenti was living in Miami. His scientific career long discarded. On Monday, Valenti hunted down, Luriero Authority said, shooting him at the home he shared with his wife and three daughters near Boston. This sounds like a musical. This sounds like a fucking weird musical. These two Portuguese nuclear scientists? What the fuck's going on?
Starting point is 01:16:43 What the fuck is going on? I grew up in a country where Americans used to kill each other over things like this. For Valenti, it was the second act in a deadly rampage that began at Brown University 48 hours later when he bursted to a lecture hall in open fire, killing two undergraduates in an economics. Studies session, Valente subsequently killed himself in a storage unit in New Hampshire. Police set an autopsy conducted Friday by the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's Office concluded that Valenti died Tuesday from a gunshot wound to the head.
Starting point is 01:17:12 Investigators have not yet revealed a motor for the attacks, but both have links to Valenti's long ago days as a student first at the Instituto Superior Technico and then at Brown. At Brown, Valenti targeted a building at the heart of the university's physics program. It's a place where he would have taken classes during his brief time enrolled. So maybe the guy had a total mental snap. In Lauriera's case, authorities believed the two men knew each other and in 1995, both were enrolled in the physical and technological engineering program at Technico, as the school is known in Portugal. Nuno Morius, a fellow Technico student at the time,
Starting point is 01:17:51 said he knew both men. Valente was one of the best students in the class, highly competitive and driven. He showed no signs of having mental health struggles back when they were students. Luriero, or whatever, I'm fucking all these names up, was also an excellent classmate, but more relaxed in Valenti. He described both as friendly. Lauriero slaying as shocked a scientific and engineering community in Portugal.
Starting point is 01:18:22 Tragedies like this should make us think carefully about the mental health toll of a, quote, hyper-competitive culture. Okay. Okay. What? Like, again, sure. But is that what happened with a fucking back in the day? Does this guy hate this guy a lot? I don't know, I don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Maybe the guy had a mental break. Yeah, I don't know. All right. I don't know. I don't know anymore, folks. Miriam Addleson pledges $250 million for a third Trump term at a White House Hanukkah party. Well, finally, some good holiday cheer.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Let's take a look. Miriam Madison, friend of the show, um, with Donald Trump. The thing about Miriam Madison that I like, is there are people that are supervillains and conceal it. Miriam does not believe that is her journey. Miriam believes that her fashion sense should
Starting point is 01:19:23 put out a supervillain vibe and I believe everyone should have their own kind of style journey and let's take a look here. This is again President Trump, Miriam Madison. Here we go. And now I met Alan Dershowitz. Oh, Alan Dershowitz.
Starting point is 01:19:41 The legal thing about four more years, and I said, Alan, I agree with you. So we can do it. Think about it. Alan's here someplace. Where's Alan? Alan is here? Oh, he had a flight. Four more years.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Alan is here? Four years. Four years. Think about it. Thank you. Maybe I will be the first time who told me or a second. Yeah. She said, think about it.
Starting point is 01:20:07 I'll give you another 250, but I will give. But her husband. And Sheldon was an amazing guy. You know, they seem to be good friends. Here's the thing. She's trying to suck money out of the country to do a genocide. And he's kind of paying her back for investing at him after that January 6th thing. But here's what I see.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Get that up again and just play it without volume. As I get older, as I'm 40 years old, you know, I could be disappointed about the genocide or, you know, I could even be disappointed in him about, you know, selling America out, the insurrection, whatever. What I see, though, is a friendship. I actually see a good friendship, like a genuine friend. You know, as you get older, there's less and less people you can relate to, and they're both billionaires.
Starting point is 01:21:00 You know, they're at the end of their lives or maybe not, but it seems like it. I mean, they're older. And they've done a lot together. She helped him get elected. He helped her, you know, pulver. you know, women and children and men. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:21:16 There's a friendship here. It's kind of a real friendship. There's a great affection. You can tell by their body language. He respects her. She respects him. She's a tough operator. So is he. You know, that, you know, folks, it's what the goddamn whole thing's about. It really is. Let's take a break from the nonsense from it. That's what it's about.
Starting point is 01:21:37 That's what your life is about. Having a couple of buds. Having a couple of buds that you can look back and say, look what we did. You know, in 15 years when Gaza's some AI Miami and they're both long dead, but somebody's doing Coke, you know, it's some rave, and they talk about these people, you know, they'll be a little statue of Trump down there. And they're probably a statue of her, like, you know, Trump and Miriam. They'll talk about Trump and Miriam.
Starting point is 01:22:08 They'll go, how did we do this? Didn't a bunch of people used to live here? and people will go, yeah, but it'll be a little like, you know, I'd be like, yeah, people used to live here. They used to live in this whole thing, you know? And then they'll talk about these days, and they'll talk about the days before the Great War, you know, and, you know, they'll talk about the times
Starting point is 01:22:29 before America was destroyed in a, you know, a world war. And they'll talk about Trump and Miriam and how they had the foresight to suck the money out of the country now, before we defaulted on the dollar and before the Great War you know, before we started losing our standing before the dollar was no longer the reserve currency.
Starting point is 01:22:51 They're going to say that Miriam, you know, at the very tail end of our empire, Miriam got the money out of Donald Trump, but she had to give him money to win it. She had to bet on him to get it. She had to make the bet to get it. And that, my friends,
Starting point is 01:23:07 is friendship. Believing in each other. friendship, believing in a show, knowing that, well, we got a few years left before this whole thing goes, tits up. This thing's going tits up. Look at the economics. We've got a problem here. But it doesn't matter. The people are becoming more nationalist. They're asking for food and health care. Gross. But in order to do that, because it works for a while, you know, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and fucking, you know, start a hedge fund, you pussy, or whatever. You know, whatever that works for a while.
Starting point is 01:23:41 And it's not working that much anymore. So Miriam knows, four more years. She goes, let's get it all done. We can do it all. Alan Dershowitz, that pedophiles defender, who's also credibly been accused of pedophilia, allegedly, Alan Dershowitz. She goes, you know, he wrote a book about you doing another term.
Starting point is 01:23:59 It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. And, you know, you see them together when he gives her a hug and he gives her a kiss. They've pulled off something amazing when you think about. sure we all suffer for it and it hastens the destruction of our country and it hollows us out financially and culturally socially many other ways um you know and it'll come back to bite us
Starting point is 01:24:25 when the refugees from the countries that they destabilize come back here and start randomly attacking us but whatever whatever whatever whatever for a minute let's think about a great friendship a decades long friendship between casino magnets who are tough operators and understand that the true way the world works is this. This is the true way the world. It's not Turning Point USA and the sparklers and the bullshit. The fucking karaoke sing-along they're doing. This is the way the world works.
Starting point is 01:25:01 People like Miriam Adelson is how the world works. And probably how it is always going to work. You know what I mean? If Putin had dinner with that woman, he'd go, God, Miriam, relax. You know, I mean, she's a fucking tough. Like, but she's got a beautiful friendship with our president. And if it's going to end, if it's going to end, and if our country is going to be completely ruined,
Starting point is 01:25:27 as I fixed my hat, shouldn't it be for friendship? Shouldn't it be for two people who love each other and care about each other and believe in each other? isn't that the great story? That's the great story that no one is telling here. Shapiro and Tucker, they're all arguing and fighting, but the real story is this friendship
Starting point is 01:25:51 between billionaire psychopaths. It's the most American thing that you can do. Become a billionaire with money that people have given you because of crippling gambling a day. Use that money to win an election. At that point, you start sucking money out of the treasury
Starting point is 01:26:18 to after you've genocided a bunch of people in the Middle East, then build, get this, more casinos on their graves. Folks, that right there is the Christmas story. It's about friendship. That's what it's about. So to Donald Trump and to Miriam Madison,
Starting point is 01:26:55 happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and may you always find each other. May not be in the same country, may not be in the same city, or the same room. But there'll be moments when Trump thinks about Miriam and Miriam thinks about Donald. And whoever goes first will speak of the other fondly.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Truly. And that is something that not everybody gets. Some people live their entire life without a great friendship, like a phenomenal friendship, you know? And when I look at these two, I say to myself, they've both experienced the joy of having an amazing an amazing friendship and supporting each other in times
Starting point is 01:27:50 when they're both down he's called an insurrectionist he's called a genocidal maniac whatever just words whatever they always come back together that's what makes it super special
Starting point is 01:28:08 RIP Rob Bryner A horrible end Very sad thing But he knew joy He knew success He had a great life And he was invited to Conan's fucking party Good night
