Iran’s Baddie Era & The Data Center Destiny | The Tim Dillon Show #500

Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Tim Dillon Show, episode 500, what a journey it's been. JD Vance, our vice president out there, launching his presidential campaign, going on every podcast, not this one. He has not reached, his people have not reached out, but he went on the View and he's on Diary of a CEO. and he's on Ross Ditz podcast of the New York Times.

because Vance is plugging his new book. And the title of the book is God Chose Me, written. by J JD Vance. God shows me the new book by JD Vance about. how the process of God selecting him to lead the country. And I wanna read a little bit from JD Vance's book, if you would be so kind, is. to allow me, and I have it here. You don't even need to look it up. I have it.

I have it right here. You don't even need to look it up. You can follow along with me at home. I have it right here. And this is from JD Vance's new book, God Chose Me. And this is about JD Vance, reconnecting with his faith and, and, and how God has chosen him to be the President. God, of course, used Peter Thiel as an emissary.

to select JD Vance. Anyway, this is, so we have here an excerpt. from the book. God chose me by JD Vance. Here we are after sacrificing Charlie Kirk. to the Entity Ball. I began to think about my faith. long nights in the Vice President's residence, pacing, thinking about if the sacrifice to B would be enough.

long meetings in the Oval Office. and the situation, room discussing ball's, incessant appetite for flesh, when will B get enough? I would ask while drinking my morning coffee. or at night while I sat there. and my wife expressionless stared at me and not s and and. and refusing to speak, does Bal care about America? I would ask, is Bal a fan?

Could I get a meeting with B? Could I sit toe to toe with B? And in its ancient tongue, convince it to stop killing. very, by the way, as a, as a, as a excerpt from a book. It's very interesting. because it's a JD Vance communicating with the de deity, deity B Well,

of course, many people are going to say, well, that's not technically in his book. It's the essence of the book. It's the essence of the book. And I'm, I'm allowed by the way to take poetic licence. because that's the thing I like about JD Vance. JD Vance wood, sit down with ball. and try his best. Vance is a striver, you know? And, and when you are a striver, there's no end striving. Doesn't have an end, by the way.

So there's nothing. that he wouldn't consider or do to get where he wants. And I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing, but that is just a fact. And Vance knows that MAGA is ending. the MAGA movement, the party. that Donald Trump threw when he walked. and walked down the escalator is ending.

And I think it ended with that UFC fight. I think that was the last party MAGA was gonna throw. You had motocross, you had UFC fights. That was a fun party, but it's the final, I think it's the final party. I think in the same way that that imagined video. during COVID, Hollywood didn't know it then, but that was the end of them. Like that was the finale of Hollywood. They didn't know, they thought they were making a video, trying to, I don't know what the hell they were trying. to get people to do, stay in their house. or shut their mouths or whatever,

or feel, you know, some sort of way, you know, or you know, they wanted to do this, you know, thing to, to calm people down. or I, I inspire them, whatever was in their mind. That Imagine video was the end of Hollywood. It was the finale, it was the series finale. of whatever Hollywood was from its inception in the early. 19 hundreds to that imagined video in 2020.

I think that was the end. And in the same way that I think the maga movement's final. party was the octagon. on the White House lawn. That seems to be a fitting symbol of the, the finale of the. MAGA movement as a cultural force. that was the most fun. It's not gonna get more fun than that. Take a look at that.

Take a look at this. Is it gonna get more fun than that? You've got the flyover, the J yeah, there, it's, this is sick. You're not gonna top this as a party goes. You are not gonna top UFC on the White House lawn for the, the the die hard people. This is what they got. They were promised a lot of other stuff. They were promised a lot of other stuff,

but this is what they got. This is the party that they got. And some of them were there in person. You know, people made the pilgrimage, some. of them watched it, streamed it, yeah. Play some more. They gi give us that one right there. What a great, there it is. This is, I want you to look at this very closely. This is kind of the finale of Mac. This is what it is. Take it away.

And. yeah, there it is. Dana White Trump. I, I mean, listen as Finalities go, this was pretty big. This is a spectacular, you know, what are you gonna do? You can't top UFC on the White House lawn. And then one guy comes out and goes, Michelle Obama's a man. Could it get better than that for these people? This is, this was the finale.

This is the penultimate conclusion of maga. It's a UFC fight on a White House lawn with motocross. And then one of the fighters goes, by the way, do you wanna say anything? And he goes, Michelle Obama's a man. And that is the finale, but they don't know it yet. Here's the thing, they don't know it yet. In the same way that when the Hollywood did. that Imagine video, they had no idea.

that they were on their way to being like, irrelevant and hated. They didn't get it. They were just doing this video that they thought in their, in their, you know, sunburnt brains was gonna help. And it was actually the finale for the idea. of celebrity in this country being like something. that's respected. We still are obsessed with the idea of celebrity,

but we, we, we, we don't really, we don't view them. as these, you know, God-like figures. We actually like to pump them up and then tear them down. We like to shred them. You know, that's, that's part of the part of the deal. And the beginning of, of people turning. on Hollywood was that video. And this will be the finale.

of the MAGA movement, and they don't know it yet. So JD Vance, our vice president, is out on the podcast circuit. with a new book called God Shows Me, and it's about JD Vance being selected by. an omniscient God to lead our country. I think it, and, and, and. and I, from what I understand in the book,

and I haven't read it, I have not read it from. what I understand in the book, God appears to JD Vance. in the White House. and tells JD Vance, you gotta go along. with the Iran stuff up until. they have some kind of deal. And then you could kind of start distancing yourself from. Trump before the midterms. And, and you have to at that point, you know,

release a book about, about your, your finding your way back to faith. He goes, I know you married a woman. who doesn't believe she's from a. completely different religion. I get it. But he goes, it's important. This is God appearing. to JD Vance at the Vice President's residence going, just stick with Trump right now. Say he's a strong leader. Go out and say Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. And then a few months later,

after we've lost the war, then come out. and say it's actually Iran is well within its rights. to defend itself in its own country. after we have attacked him. That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard. People like me were saying that. before the war, we were going, yeah, well these people want some defensive capabilities. And JD Vance, if you could pull that up, JD Vance is now saying that. Now it's very funny.

because if you remember a few months ago, if you have that, you know, if you have that capacity to think back, you'll remember that the, the tone coming out. of the administration was that like the Iranian regime. poses a unique threat. to the security of America, Israel, Western civilization, that there can be no negotiating with Iran.

I mean, this is why we, we had all those fake negotiations. and then attacked them every time. So when God appeared to jd, this is all God said, predicted a lot of this, God was like, this is what's gonna happen. And, and then God told JD Vance, when you are out on your book tour. and here are the podcasts you should go on. When you are out on your book tour. and you are trying to rebrand, you are gonna have.

to come out and say that like I, of course Iran has the right. to defend itself, so take it away. This is JD Vance speaking. as a mouthpiece for the Lord, I believe here he is. Help us understand President Trump's shift on his stance. for Iran's ballistic missile programme. Initially it was a key objective to dismantle it yesterday. He said it would only be fair if they had some,

if the countries around or around also had some. So when and why did that change? And will the final agreement have any. restrictions on these missiles? Can I give the real answer? Stop him. for a minute, lemme give the real answer. Thank you for the question. Really, we are, we are, we're not concerned with specifics. And many of our fans are also not concerned with specifics. No one takes this seriously anymore. We don't feel a need.

to be consistent in our public or private statements. We aim to be entertaining. and we actually aim to distract as much as we can. We're just trying to keep the ball in the air here. We didn't realise how badly we were gonna lose this war, but we did Iran, really, really, I mean, I gotta hand it to Iran, they really showed us up. So what we're trying now to do is basically.

exit and, and we're gonna reverse everything we said 60. to 90 days ago. And we're hoping that people eventually just. forget this ever happened. That's the actual answer. But let's see, JD Vance, everyone. Destroyed a substantial number of their ballistic missiles. and their, excuse me, ballistic missile launchers themselves. It's not just the bullets, but it's the actual gun.

And that's what we were extremely effective at in destroying. during the last three months of the campaign. All the president said yesterday is that, of course, region countries don't give up the right of self-defense. Israel doesn't give up the right. of self-defense if Hezbollah fires rockets. or drones at Israel. The Iranians don't give up the right. of self-defense in their country. But we do expect that as part of the final deal, they are not gonna be able to build the kind of missiles. that can broadly threaten the entire world.

And that's what the President United States said yesterday. So, you know, basically. in layman's terms, Hey, it didn't work. The thing we tried to do didn't work. Why do you keep asking questions about it? You know, it didn't work. We lost the thing. What do you want me to say? They have the right, we destroyed a lot. of their ballistic missiles, but they have the. right to the rest of them. They have the right to the rest of these missiles.

that the ones we didn't destroy, and they should have them. They have the right to self-defense, even though we went into the war. because Iran was on the offence. against us supposedly, and was we couldn't let them retain any ability. to threaten their regional neighbours or our country. But now we can, we can now we can live with it. We can live with it 'cause we lost.

So we can actually live with them having missiles. because we can't win. You see, they held the world economy hostage. with the straits of ous. Trump's a rich guy. He likes rich guys. Rich guys want their money. And if this becomes an economic problem. and we have an economic collapse and gas is $10. and there's riots in the streets,

or if we put the American military on the ground. and either win, but it's an ugly win that takes years. and bankrupts us, or even worse, we don't win. Or it's a stalemate. And it's what's happening in the uk, Ukraine. and Russia, where it's a bloody. and humiliating episode in our history. The Republican party's gonna go down in a major way, not only in the midterms, but in the next election.

and probably the one after that. So what we're trying to do is exit, which I'm all for. I believe in an exit. I believe in a cowardly exit. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I believe in a cowardly exit, but he's being too verbose. When you are running away. and lying, you have to keep it simple. Keep it simple. When, when you are turning tail and running away,

because the only way to win this war is. to put boots on the ground, try to capture car island. We just told you why that's not gonna work. The other way is to nuke them. Now, by the way, the proponents of the war, the, the faction of Netanyahu and the neocons. and a lot of the Israeli. donors would like Iran decimated. no matter what.

If it's boots on the ground, sure if it's a nuke, even better. They don't have a problem with that. But Vance and other people have realised that. that will be the end of America. A ground invasion of Iran. or a nuclear weapon will be the end. of the United States of America. We will not survive that conflict. We won't. So we're out and we've got a deal.

And a lot of people don't like the deal. And by the way, here's why I like, I think it's actually a good deal. The points of the deal were dictated to JD Vance. by God. That's why I'm comfortable with the deal. And that's in JD Vance's new book. God appeared to me in my room and gave me the Iran deal.

Let's read if we can, some. of the I ran deal that we had to make. because we lost. Now we're gonna, I I I'm not gonna keep I'm not. gonna belabour that point. I'm ready to move on. We're all ready to move on.

Israel's probably not ready to move on. They don't seem to be ready to move on. Some Republican senators are now kicking up dust. They're not ready to move on. They want to go back in. Okay, so the United States of America. and the Islamic Republic. of Iran have jointly agreed in good faith. to do X number one. The United States America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. and their allies in the current war are signing this MOU. to declare the immediate. and permanent termination military operations on all fronts,

including in Lebanon. Now, this is gonna be a sticking point for Israel. because Israel is in Lebanon, supposedly. because there, there's an existential threat. to Israel posed by Hezbollah. And so they're going into Lebanon. and they are bombing Lebanon in a pretty brutal way. and killing a lot of civilians. And they are unwilling to stop that. They're, they don't wanna stop that.

Israel's like not, they're like not trying to stop that. They go, I don't, we don't. Hey, you gotta let us kill someone. That's what Israel's basically saying. They're like, we gotta, we're gonna kill somebody here. I don't care what deal you've written down. or what you think's going on. We gotta kill. Can you let us kill someone? And we're killing these. You stopped us from. killing the people of Gaza. We gotta kill somebody. Can we kill them? Can someone, can you give us a group of people in.

that we can kill, please? We're asking nicely. So I do, I empathise with them on that count. I'm just gonna summarise these points. Number two, the United States of America. and the Islamic Republic Iran undertake. to respect each other's sovereignty. and territorial integrity. and refrain from interfering in each other's. international affairs. So it's like, hey, it's a, it's a fight at the school. And the teacher separates the kids.

and goes, Hey, you don't have to like each other, but you gotta respect each other. You gotta just look the other way. If he says something you don't like, ignore it. If, if he says something you don't like, ignore it. Okay, that's 0.2, 0.3. The United States of America. and the Islamic Republic of Iran commit to negotiating. and achieving the final deal in maximum 60 days. Extendable with mutual consent. Number four, immediately upon the signing of this,

the US will begin the removal. of its naval blockade in any disturbances, blah, blah, blah. Number five, upon signing this, the Islamic Republic. of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts. for the safe passages of commercial V vehicles vessels. with no charge for 60 days. So we're opening the straits, Iran's opening the straits of hor mos. We're removing the naval blockade, we're respecting them, they're respecting us. Number six, the US undertakes with regional partners. to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan.

with at least US dollars, 300 billion. for the reconna reconstruction and economic. and economic development of Iran. So if, if we make good on this, which who knows if we will. or who knows what mechanism we'll use, they're, they're, they, they get 300 billion. Okay? Number seven. So they're up. I mean they're down 'cause we blew up a lot of their shit. But they get, they're up a little. The United States America undertakes to terminate all types.

of sanctions against Islamic Republic of Iran. This is an interesting one, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions. By the way, Iran has won in ways you can't even imagine. You cannot even imagine how stupid. this and, and what a, what an embarrassment. this has been for the Trump administration. I mean, Iran is stronger now, now it's gonna get,

it's gonna build nukes. Why wouldn't it? And Iran's wanted. some of this stuff for years. Like the sanctions, the UN Security Council stuff. They've wanted this for years and attacking them. and not being able, you know, again, unprovoked attack from the United States government. and Israel bombing schoolchildren. as they sat there, unleashing utter chaos in the region. has resulted in Iran is coming out of this stronger.

and and better than ever before. And here's the deal. I kind of love this for Iran. Iran is in their new era. I love this era for Iran. Do you not love this era for Iran? I actually love this for them. I love this era for Iran. It's an Islamic Republic summer, brought to you by. the Donald Trump JD Vance administration.

It's an Islamic Republic summer. and they are flying high number eight, the Islamic Republic. of Iran reaffirms it or shall not procure. or develop nuclear weapons. And there's gonna be some supervision by the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency. The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue. of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related.

to their nuclear needs. Let's go number nine. So they're basically like, we're not gonna get nukes, relax, everything's fine. We'll let the IAEA come in pending the final deal. of the United States and the Islamic Republic agree. to maintain the status quo. They'll maintain the status quo of the nuclear programme. and the United States will not impose any new sanctions, will not deploy additional forces in the region. Number 10, the US undertakes. that immediately upon the signing of this.

and UN until the termination of sanctions, US Department. of Treasury will issue waivers for the export. of Iranian crude oil petroleum products in derivatives. Number 11, the United States of America undertakes. to make fully available for the use the frozen. or restricted funds and assets. of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Under the implementation of this deal, the United States. and the Islamic Republic of Iran will mutually agree on the. procedures related to the release of these funds. during negotiations. Such funds, whether retained in the original account.

or transferred, shall be made fully usable for payment. lovely to any ultimate Benny beneficiary designated. by the central bank of the Islamic Republic. Number 12, the US. and Iran agreed. that an executive mechanism will be established. to monitor the successful. implementation of this and the future. Compliance number 13, after signing this. and subject to the beginning of the implementation, the continuing implementation of these measures, the US. and the Islamic Republic of Iran will start negotiations. regarding the final deals.

exclusively on the other paragraphs. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding U. and SC United Nation Security Council resolution. So there we have it. This is the end of the Iran War. If it sticks, they get a lot, we get a little, you know, but this is the beginning of Iran joining the international. community and becoming even more. of a regional power than they were. Israel's not happy with this.

This is the exact opposite of what Israel wanted. Vance is coming out now. Trump is coming out going, listen guys, we're done. We can't do this anymore. Israel's stunned. by Trump's Iran deals to New York Times sees it. as a catastrophic capitulation. Israel wants boots on the ground. They want a nuke, they want a regional war. This is a bad, this is a bad idea for them. It's a terrible idea. And Republican senators in Congress. are gonna kick up dust about this too, because they're gonna be pressured by their donors. with whatever mechanism up to you to decide.

how they're being pressured. But they will be pressured to speak out against this. And they may try to impeach Trump over it. And it's leaking out that maybe when the Democrats get in, they'll impeach Trump and the Republicans will get on board. because they're unhappy with the Iran deal. I don't believe that. But that is something that is potentially leaking out. So listen, what I said would happen is kind of happened. Iran in its new era. I ran, dare I say it's in its bad girl. era, you know what I mean?

Like if you think about Iran, it's kind. of in its bad girl era. Like you took on the big dog and you won. and you kind of got what you wanted. You know, you are in your bad girl ever. So we are the mommy. We're the mommy. And, and, and I rans our daughter. and I rans a little bit of a bad girl. And we go into her room.

and we go, you better get your life together young lady. And our daughter goes, yeah, fuck you ma, fuck you. And we go, don't talk to me like that. I'm your mother and I brought you into this world. and I could take you out of it. And then our daughter goes, yeah, try. And then the mother goes to grab her and then, and puts her in a headlock.

But the daughter sneaks out of it. and gets into mom's car. And the mom goes, I need that car. I gotta go to work. You're fucking my money up. And the daughter goes, well then raise my curfew. And the mom goes, motherfucker, you are a cunt. And the daughter goes, you're gonna raise my curfew. I got outta that headlock, you dumb bitch, I'm going out Saturday night till 12. because everybody else is remove sanctions against me. You fat bitch. You fat boomer bitch.

You remove those sanctions against me. or I'll steal your fucking car. You won't get to work and you'll lose your fucking money. And that's all you care about. At the end of the day, you fat beanie baby collecting. boomer bitch. And you go, fuck, fine. So then you sit your fat ass down. and you write a 14 point deal with your cunt daughter. and you go, you will, we will raise your curfew till 12, but you will submit.

to random drug testing at a scheduled time, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You will not let your boyfriend in the house when. we are not home. But you will join, rejoin the international community. We will take you on our family vacation. We will. So I ran in her straight up bad girl era. I ran us at the high school with the sig in the mouth, lit the Siggy going, that bitch thought she had me. She came and put me in a headlock, but I slipped out of it.

and my curfews raised. And all of the other people are like, this is fucking wild. All the other kids at the school. are looking at Iran going, wow. And if I was a, you know, listen, and, and is there stats on this? Any of these betting sites, poly market. or whatever, are there stats on if this thing holds. because I think it's gonna hold, my prediction.

is it's going to hold. I think it holds because I don't think we have a choice. It'll be the collapse of our country if it doesn't hold. What is this? Iran agrees to end enrichment. of uranium by June 3rd. 'cause by the way, there's inside people on these sites, it's not only like just, it is public sentiment, but it's also certain people. that are in the know Iran agrees to end enrichment. of uranium by June 30th. 44% chance. Interesting. I don't know, I think I ran still gonna enrich to the point.

for peaceful nuclear. Well, I'm taking the other side of that. I don't listen. A lot of the, a lot of the things. that we grew up believing. that were true at one time about our country. are no longer true. We grew up believing we were the and. and we were at one point, we were the sole. superpower and we could act with impunity. Carl Rove, Bush's brain, his strategist said,

once we are an empire. and when we act, we create our own reality. That's a Carl Rove quote. Get that quote up because it's gonna tie you. into what I'm gonna talk to you next. Carl Rove, who is the strategist for George W. Bush, said, we are an empire. and when we act, we create our own reality. This was, I'm paraphrasing it a little bit, quote the full quote, reported by a.

yes reported, we are an empire now. And when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality judiciously, as you will, will act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too. And that's how things will sort out. Where histories, actors, and you, all of you will just be left to study what we do. That was the American, the guiding principle. of American foreign policy. For as long as I've grown up, we do something,

we give our own justifications for it. Hey, you like it, great. If you don't fuck off. Because we create the reality. Well, guess what I ran just showed us. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. The, the full quote is reported. to journalist Ron Suskin in the New York Times magazine. And this was Carl Roe. And he was saying that we're not creating a reality anymore. We're not creating a reality anymore. We can act, we can still act, we can still do things,

we can still bond people and invade countries. But by the way, we have completely lost the ability. to manufacture a reality. No reality has become reality. And we've, we got a dose of it in the Iran war. You know, our military's incredibly. brave, capable, competent. But there are situations that we put them in. where they are unwinnable. And the tools of this, of warfare now are drones. They are not aircraft carriers. They are not massive ground invasions.

They are drones and they're propaganda by the way. So what you do is you try to win this, you try to unite. as many people behind this thing as you can in whichever, in in whatever capacity you can. And then you also try to execute. a plan militarily. We failed on both ends. We failed on both ends. We were unable to get anyone to, to think this was good.

For the most part, outside of a few broken. people in our country that thought this was a good, who are broken in many different ways and have been broken. and they've been, you know, they've been completely captured. by money or blackmail or whatever, and they're just, they've been in Washington forever. and their business is war. But rank and file people never thought this was a good idea. Human beings you would bump into outside.

of a few ideological people, everybody was like, nah, it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea, we shouldn't do it. And now we have Vance launching his presidential campaign. going, Hey, they got the Iran is a right to defend itself. They have the right to defend itself. We got into this skirmish, we got into a fight, it happens. and we're gonna live sanctions. We're gonna give 'em a couple of bucks. And JD Van should have looked at her.

and said, Iran's in its bad girl era. And and you can't stop a bad bitch. You can't stop a bad bitch. What do you want us to do? We are in our era as a country. We are in our carmella soprano at the end era. Can you get up the scene of the, the Sopranos. where Carmella confesses to the priest. and then the priest tells her that she knows. where all the money was coming. I maybe it was a psychologist or a priest. I forget who it was. Where basically the guy goes, you knew,

you knew where all this money was coming from. Maybe it's not this, I don't think it's this one. This is the one where her and the priest almost hook up. We want the one, I think where she speaks to a, a psychologist or a priest. And basically the gist of it is Carmela soprano is, is saying, hey, she wants to be absolved, basically. of her culpability in her husband's crimes.

You know, we lived really well, but you know, I didn't really know. And, and, and the priest, the. psychology, I really forget who it is. He basically says, where you knew. where the money was coming from. and you knew, you knew exactly what was going on. and you've lived very well off this money. And she's shocked by this. because she's, she's the, the Don's wife. So everyone treats her with a, like a modicum of respect. Even the local parish priest. He depends on her donation.

So nobody really tells Carmela. that she's culpable in like Tony's shit in his crimes. And, and that's the era that we are in. Like we're finally getting this comeuppance. We're finally being told the limits of our power. And we're finally being told you cannot sell yourself. as the moral saviour of the world. after the things you've done. I think this is, yeah. Okay, here we go.

The sopranos right here, take it away. Let's watch this If we can, it takes a little time here, but I think it's important to watch this for everybody. I want you to imagine Carmela's soprano is the. United States of America in this clip. This is the era that we are in Iran for good. or Ill, I'm no fan of Iran, but they're in their bad bitch era.

They're in their bad bitch era. It's it's sexy summer fun for the Islamic Republic. They're badies right now. So that's their era. 'cause they just tangled with us. They came out. It's hard to not say. They came out on top. If this thing sticks, here's Carmella soprano, this is us, the United States of America. Take it away. Marriage has problems. She's seeing another woman.

Yeah, you can make that plural. Yes, he sees other women. I sort of look the other way and I wanna help him. Do you, moments ago you used the word divorce. I said I was considering divorce. I may be overstepping my boundaries here, but. She's talking about Israel, Aren't you? Is that. Relevant? Well, us Catholics, we place a great deal. of stock in the sanctity of the family. And I am not sure that your people,

I've been married for 31 years. Well then you know how difficult it can be. He's a good man. He's a good father. You tell me he's a depressed criminal, prone to anger, serially, unfaithful. Is that your definition of a good man? I thought psychiatrists weren't supposed to be judgmental. Many patients want to be excused. for their current predicament.

because of events that occurred in their childhood. That's what the country has become in America. Visit any shopping wall. or ethnic pride parade to witness the results. What we say in here stays in here, right. By ethical code, by law, His crimes, they. are organised. Crime, The mafia.

Oh Jesus. Oh, so what? So what? This is us. He betrays me every week with these whores. I mean, this is us, probably The least of his misdeeds. And you can leave now or you can stay. and hear what I have to say. I. Well you're gonna charge the same anyway. I won't take your money. That's a new one.

That you Trust your initial impulse. and consider leaving him. and never be able to feel good about yourself. and never be able to call the feelings of guilt. and shame that you talked about. As long as you're accomplice, You're wrong about the accomplice part though. You sure? All I did was make sure he is got clean. clothes in his closet and stuff. This is the way we talk about Israel. Juan would be a more accurate job to speak. We just make sure they have weapons.

My apologies. So. you think I need to, to find my boundaries more clearly, keep a certain distance, not internalise my, What did I just say? Leave him. Take only the children. I slept with him and go, My priest said I should try and work with him. and help him to be a better man. How's that going?

I Have you ever read Crime. and Punishment dust Ky? It's not an easy read. It's about guilt and redemption. And I think what your husband to turn himself in, read this book and reflect on his crimes every day. for seven years in his self, then he might be redeemed. I would have to get a lawyer, find an apartment,

arrange for a child, support. You. You're not listening. I'm not charging you. because I won't take blood money. You can't either. One thing you can never. say that you haven't been told. Well, there it is. Wow. So it took a little bit, but I mean that's, I mean, that's our era. And it's not a happy era. Although she does cheer up later on.

I think they go out to a dinner, get a nice Italian meal, which I think does, does kind of fix a lot of it. But that's the era that we are in. We are, we are being told, we've been told we know what's up. We cannot run around this globe getting people. to do what we want. We cannot be, you know, attached. to Benjamin Netanyahu at the hip. It doesn't work. It's not gonna work. We'll destroy the entire country. We've been told, we do know this isn't a shock. as much as it, but it, it it, to some people it is.

But it, it isn't a shock When you take into consideration. all the evidence that has been mounting about the decline. of the American, not only hard power, but soft power. You know, we can no longer run. around the world building coalitions. and convincing people of things. We don't have the moral high ground anymore. Nobody thinks we do. We are seen as an enabler of the overreach.

of countries like Israel. We've backed a lot of dictators in our day. We invaded Iraq, we invaded Afghanistan. We sent millions of refugees throughout Europe. We've destabilised the political systems of Europe, of. the Netherlands, of the uk. and the ramifications of that. are all quite obvious to anyone who is paying attention. We cannot claim that we have only been a force for good. We've certainly not only been a force for evil,

we've done good things for sure. Okay? But we now know. that we, there is a real limit to. what we can go out there and do. And we are Carmela at the end. That's where we are. We've been, we've lived in a big house for a while. It's been fun. The, the, the, the the kids communions. and the Sunday dinner, Sunday supper, making the sauce.

We made a lot of sauce. Sunday suppers. We had a lot of barbecues in the backyard. We lived in a big suburban mansion for a long time. Mini mansion, whatever, M mansion, but whatever for a guy who's in waste. management, pretty good. We had a lot of fun. and you know, we kind of knew. where the money was coming from. Let's be honest. There's nobody in this country that's completely innocent. We all knew we didn't do it.

We weren't pressing buttons in firing the missiles, but we sang along to the Toby Keith songs. and we thought it was cool. And we watched all the movies. and we kind of created this idea. that we were this unimpeachable force for good. And you know, whatever it was, the cheap food. or the cheap gas or whatever we got out of it. We knew where it was coming from. But all we did, like Carmela Soprano was make sure. that the government had clean clothes.

That's all we did. That's all she said. Not compli. I'm not an accomplice. I just. made sure he had clean clothes. I just did the laundry. And that's Carmela at the end goes, I just did the laundry. She didn't believe that. She doesn't believe that. But she's, she's trying to make herself believe that. so she can sleep. But we did more than the laundry. Carmela did more than the laundry. She took the trips to Paris, she went.

to the Plaza Hotel at Meadow. and Ed Tea, she went out to dinner, she went on the vacation. She enjoyed the spoils of the empire. that her criminal husband has built. And so have we, and we have to reckon with that now. And we have to understand why we can no longer. moralise to the rest of the world. Obviously the people that run Iran are psychopaths, who I don't think have the best of their people at heart.

They're a theocratic fascist government that, you know, inhibits the rights of women. It's, we get it. I'm not, there's no love laws here. for the Islamic Republic of Iran, by the way. But we do have to think about this is a stunning. and humiliating defeat on the world. Stage it. And we have to understand. that we can no longer pretend.

that we are going to be able to dominate. We're not gonna be able to dominate. We're gonna share the globe. We're gonna share the world whether you like it, whether you think it's cool, whether Netanyahu likes it. We're not gonna be able to just go in. and topple the government anymore. We can't do it. We won't do it. We're not gonna send 150,000 of our kids to go do it. We're not gonna do it. We're not gonna send 150,000 people.

to go die in Iran so. that we can dominate and, and really allow Israel to dominate that region. It it's not gonna happen. And Vance, for all his flaws, of which there are many knows. that he knows that Vance is a political animal. Here's what I mean. The guy wants the job. I don't know that he'll get it, but he wants the motherfucking job. And he knows the public's not behind this.

He knows the voters don't want it. He knows his own constituency. Vast numbers of them don't want it. His aspirations are political. He knows that the MAGA movement is starting. to to be pulled apart and it's fraying. And there's only so many parties you can throw. There's only so many UFC events at.

White House Lawn you can throw. to keep these people entertained. There's only so many concerts in the park. or whatever the hell they're gonna try to do. Kid Rock can only fly, do a fly by and a, a stealth bomber. So many times before people start to go, Hey, what's going on here? Why don't I have any money? Why don't I have any money? Did you see Kid Rock? Dude, he did a shut up. Where's my mo? I don't have any money. What are we doing? So Vance is on to, he's on,

he's pounding the pavement right now trying. to figure out how he can. 'cause it's Vance v Rubio. Rubio's staying quiet. Rubio's owned by the donors. Vance is owned by other donors. By the way, Vance is not without donors. If you wanna know who Vance's donors are, go look at. that Peter Teal list.

Nicholas Berg Gru and John Arnold. Joe Lonsdale, Palantir. I went to a party at his house once, talked about him on the show, was never invited back. He does have a beautiful pool, it's 90 feet. Do not sue me. Reid Hoffman. Netflix. I did. I went to a party at his home in Austin. This was the days of the intellectual dark web. And he invited me and I went and he's got a stunning pool. And I met his wife and his wife comes in. and he didn't introduce it by name. He said, third generation Stanford. They're all very strange to these people.

They're incredibly strange. They don't eat. Here's the thing about the tech people, they don't, and do not sue me. It's not fair. They don't eat, don't sue me in my fine for just episode. so they don't eat. Joe Lonsdale, friend of the show loves Barry Weiss, that whole crew, Palantir guy. And don't kill me either. Don't sue me and don't kill me. It's wrong. So they don't eat, the tech people don't eat. And he had like this thing in his house, and I met one of the bush George P. Bush,

who's like the, one of the Hispanic bushes, but like really Hispanic, you know, he's like, like he's, I'm like, how are you? He's like, Ian, you know, but he's like a bush. So you're like, oh. 'cause you forget. he's Jeb's son, I think. And Jeb married Colomba and, and Barbara said, literally, you'll never Prezi, you just married the maid. Barbara said it, I didn't say it. Now here's the deal. I was at the house. and they have a,

they have like a Thai food truck. or like a vegan Thai food truck or whatever. And I, no one was eating, you didn't see anyone eating. But he's got, I'm a swimmer and I love pools. and I think he's got one. of the best pools you can ever have. And I went on the show and I talked about it. and he didn't like it.

He was like mad. He was like angry. And I think I was kind of complimentary. I don't know, you know, I think I'm being complimentary, but you know, because when I first moved to Austin, that was, this is not his house. There's another house. He might have bought another house. He might have 10 houses. The point is this, the one I saw had an unbelievable pool. And he was telling me he wanted to build another city. to compete with Austin, to make Austin better. The one thing about these tech. guys said, you have big dreams.

And he goes, I wanna build another city with universities. and I wanna pressure Austin to be better. because of this other city I wanna build. And you know, what do you do? Like, how do you even respond to that? I was like, oh, that's cool. It's like what? I said, he's like, I wanna build another city. And you know, they don't really look at you when they talk. I wanna build another city to pressure Austin to be better. because the infrastructure in Austin needs to be better. And we, if we built another city, and I just went, oh, that's cool. And then he invited me shooting. Like they go out and dress up in like army things.

and like crawl around. and shoot in like a military, like a fake military thing. All these tech people, by the way, it's all fake. Like they, they all of these, like, they're LARPing as these things. They're not, so they're all like obsessed. with like this idea of masculinity. and you know, so he's like, we go like shooting, but it's like a, it's like a military game. And I was like, oh no, I can't.

I was like, yeah, yeah, I don't know. that day I'm busy. I, you know, pool party or you know, tacos. Sure. I I don't wanna do like military fake games. But a lot of them do that. So a lot of them do that. They all love these conferences. They go to these weird conferences. and maybe not him, do not sue me or kill me. And if you do, everyone will know. They will know it's you and you know,

but like they, these tech people, they do these activities. where they like, I don't know, it feels like a bunch. of people that have never grown up. Like I was talking to a friend of mine recently, he was talking about Sam Altman and he's like, everything can be digitised. Every, every single human interaction, emotion, it's all just data sets. And you're like, oh, you don't know anything about life. You're barely a human being. These people are barely human beings.

Okay? And it's what's interesting about them, and by the way, obviously. there's tonnes of benefits to technology, but let's also be honest, some things just suck now. Like I went, my friend, I went to my friend's house, he lives in the valley with his family. and his lovely family. And we were like, we're sitting there talking. and I showed them my cat, if a kitten we're gonna bring the. kitten, I, the kitten's not ready. The kitten, the kitten just got banned from Ireland actually.

because of things that it had posted crazy things. And I, I don't even wanna say them on the air, but it, you know, you know, it was just very, you know, it was a lot of the restore, the sovereignty, but it kind of went overboard. But I showed the family, the kitten, they got some kids, they thought the cat was great, the wife loved the cat. And then my friend goes, let's go to McDonald's. We should go to McDonald's. Let's eat in a McDonald's. When's the last time you've eaten in a McDonald's?

And me and his wife were all kinda laughed. We went, you know, we hadn't, we hadn't. And we used to eat McDonald. I used to eat at McDonald's all the time. We'd swim practise after I, you know, when I was seven or eight years old. Me and my father would go eat in McDonald's. McDonald's has the best fast food breakfast at at that time. I haven't been there in a, in a minute. I'm sure it still holds up. But let me tell you right now. So if you've been in a McDonald's recently. or any fast food restaurant, it's all kiosks. So you have to order on the screen,

which is stained with ketchup. So you are touching a screen that a million other people, including homeless people, have, have touched. And I'm not trying to go at the homeless, I'm just saying there's faecal matter on the screen. You touch, there's a shit. and piss coating on the screen that you have to touch. Now if you have a customizable order, which I really don't,

I get a fillet of fish, I get a quarter pounder, I get a small fry and, and sometimes a, a four nugget, a four piece nugget. because I just like the, the mouth feel. of the barbecue sauce, the sweet tangy barbecue sauce. And I just like the barbecue. Do I even need the nugget? I could thumb it in actually. because I just want that package barbecue. So we go there. and he's got a family where like, you know, one kid doesn't eat onions, the other kid doesn't eat pickles. This one wants this. So you.

gotta stand there for 30 minutes. By the way, nobody is. behind the counter at McDonald's anymore. There's like people in the back. and there's like one manager who's like very stressed out. because all these kiosk orders keep coming out wrong. They keep coming out wrong. and people keep going up with their food going, I didn't order this or I requested this. and this, this thing that's supposed to be efficient, that's supposed to save McDonald's a lot of money. You know, you used to walk into McDonald's. and there was a person there.

and you would order from the person and the person. Sometimes, like in the, in the olden times, they would put the food on the tray in front. of you while you stood there. But now you order a kiosk, you take a number. and then sit at a table in the McDonald's. and wait for your order to come. And then by the time you get it, the fries are called, every things are wrong. And then they ask for the receipt. So a little kid went out, 'cause I didn't get my McFlurry. He was a little kid. He's like eight.

And the woman's like, where's your receipt? So now you've got an 8-year-old trying. to find the receipt to the McFlurry. And his parents were like, I don't know, he's eight. Like, let's try to find the receipt. But he definitely ordered it. We're here. And he did order it and then he finally gave it to them. But what I mean is like, we're taking people out of this. For what reason? For what reason? 'cause McDonald's, it's not more efficient. It's not, and it's not better. So, but it, it, i it makes McDonald's more money,

but they're not paying their people more. But it's not more efficient. It's not better. The experience sucks Every fast food. Re oh, you're talking about fast food. Fuck you. Yes, yes. It's part of our culture. It's not good fun. Eat sauerkraut with RFK. He seems happy. Whatever you want. Whatever you people want to do. I'm not saying it eat fast food all the time, but this is a good example. These are entry level jobs. They used to be for teenagers. Teenagers used to work at fast food.

You know what now they're doing, they're killing each other. and filming it to put on TikTok. That's what they're doing. There are mobs. of teenagers running around the country killing people, stopping out other kids. and putting it on TikTok, by the way, is this, do you have Oh yeah. Tonight. Dramatic. Or they're doing teen. takeovers violence. I don't wanna say that they're all black. 'cause there are some white kids, the Gilbert Goons, there are white kids that do this too. But there are, this is, this happens to be video with a lot. of black ones, but there are also many violent white ones.

And so there's these teen takeovers. And, and by the way, these kids used to have jobs. They used to work at movie theatres. and they used to work at places like McDonald's. These were entry level jobs for kids. or immigrants, whatever. So those are gone and they're going away. So what are the kids gonna do? Well, they roam the streets with their phones trying. to go viral, kicking someone in the head. They try to go viral, stepping on someone's head. because they don't understand the. consequences of their actions.

And they don't understand. that someone could hit their head and die. They don't understand that they could. spend the rest of their life in jail. They don't understand. They're living in a video game. They're fucking young teenagers. They don't have any, no one's teaching them responsibility. All they wanna be is famous. All they be is rich. All they've seen is live streamers get famous. for no goddamn reason. All they've seen is it, it doesn't make any sense why any particular. person has any money. So it's a casino and a grift.

And it's perfectly en encompassed by the MAGA movement, which is just a bunch of people running around Palm Beach, cheating on their wives, doing drugs, grifting, pumping up meme coins and shit coins. I mean, truly, that's what it is. Whatever you think it is on the outside, that's what it really is. It's just a bunch of peoples tearing the remaining parts. of flesh off the carcass of this empire. That's what it is. And these kids have grown up, and these are their elders.

These are the people they look up to for guidance. So they don't work at McDonald's anymore. And you are literally pressing fillet of fish into a a. on a computer screen where it's stained by shit. So what exactly have we. done in those areas? Is it better now? All of the McDonald's look like storage facilities. All of the fast food restaurants look like. storage facilities.

Everybody orders everything on Amazon. Nobody goes to any, unless you're wealthy or. unless you live by a cute little outdoor mall. or a farmer's market. Unless you are doing that, you're just ordering things at Amazon. or you're going to Walmart. Is that better? Is shopping better? I'm asking, is shopping better? Is going out? Is grabbing burgers. with your kids better now than it was when you, you can't look at a human. Are these things better? It doesn't seem to me. that it's better is having a robot show up to your house.

with a burrito necessarily better than a human being. It doesn't feel like it. The robot takes longer. Even if the robot was faster, which it's not. It's a robot and it's not a human being. Well, this is how people are gonna evolve and get new job. What are the new jobs? Crypto scams smashing your face with a hammer. What are the new jobs? I'm, I'm just kind of asking. what are the working at data centres? Are those the new jobs?

Working at data centres are the new jobs, those are the new jobs that people are supposed to do. What are kids supposed to do? They can't work at fast food. restaurants or movie theatres or retail stores. What are they supposed to do? I'll tell you what they're gonna do. They're gonna walk around and they're gonna step on each. other's heads and put it on TikTok for clout. Whoa. Yeah. Yo, what are they all supposed to do? What's everybodys, what's everybody supposed to do? How about a 14 point plan deal with America?

How about a 14 point deal with the United States of America, the country that you people were elected to govern? How about 14 points a a deal with tech? How about a 14 point deal with tech? And the people that don't want any regulation of ai. and they wanna destroy people's privacy, they wanna destroy people's autonomy, their bodily autonomy, their, I mean, how about we make a 14 point plan with them?

Can we do that? Can we get the heads. of the tech companies in a room. and hammer at a 14 point plan? Or is that not as important as the Islamic Republic of Iran? Because we do have to be honest, tech has done a lot of amazing things. I'm sitting here right now doing a show. where nobody tells me what to say. because we are on YouTube platform. that allows this to happen. The cost of production in my show is relatively low.

I don't have the executives, I don't have standards and practises. I don't have marketing. Nobody tells me what. to say on this show. That's what makes it good. You know, that couldn't ha have happened 20 years ago. So I'm, I'm grateful to a lot of advancements. and I've made a living and I've made good money. So I totally understand. But here's the idea. We need to have a discussion about artificial intelligence.

But here's JD Vance. Again, this is JD Vance, friend. of the show in an interview about ai. And now Vance is the tech candidate. Rubio is the Israel. war candidate. Vance is the tech candidate. But the tech people also get involved in the global wars. They love him, they love him. And the national security state. apparatus can also fuck with the tech people.

So it's really just about who can sell this better. Because these two groups, which are different. and have different interests, have a lot. of overlapping interest in terms of continuing. to make large amounts of money. So here's JD Vance on artificial intelligence. But by the way, it's very well known. I'm not, I'm not shitting on JD Vance. I'm just saying it is very well known that. he is the tech candidate in the race. JD Vans,

When I look at ai, I don't see mass unemployment. as the most likely consequence. I think people will become more productive. I think some people's jobs will change. Some people will lose their jobs. Right? But I I just don't buy this idea. and I haven't, haven't seen any evidence in the data. Right? That's gonna lead to mass unemployment. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Okay. He doesn't, he hasn't seen any evidence or data. Now, by the way, a lot of the people.

who are involved in the creation of AI have predicted this. and have literally said that they're going to eliminate, like AI's going to eliminate lots of jobs. JD Vance has said he hasn't seen any evidence. or data of that, by the way. All there is is evidence. It's the testimony of people. that were involved in creating the technology. Those people have come out with like stern warnings going, this is gonna be real disruptive. This is gonna be real tough. JD Van goes, I haven't seen any evidence or data of that. Where are you looking? Where are you?

Look, are you not looking? Where are you? Where, what are you talking about? You haven't seen any evidence or data of that? Every this guy's online, like more than I am. This guy's online. This guy's on axe all day. You haven't, you are. This guy's on YouTube. This guy's in comments. You haven't come across any evidence. or data that AI is gonna lead. to mass unemployment and layoffs. You've never heard that argument.

You've never watched that Tucker Ben Shapiro thing about. self-driving trucks. And it's a, it's a discussion about. what will happen if we institute. What are you talking about? You're good friends. with Tucker and you. What do you mean you have no, you've never heard it. This is the problem with him. Instead of giving an answer that sounds remotely believable, let's listen to him again. I think I really worry about with AI is. surveillance AI is, Oh, this is another clip.

Okay, this is another clip I wanna watch. We're gonna watch this clip. But. before that, let's watch the previous clip. because I wanna, this is a Vance. is, this is very interesting. It's, it's who ever he is in a room with here. Let's, let's watch this. He's basically saying, and it's one of my favourite quotes, I think I've heard come out of his mouth. I, I have just never seen any evidence. or data or anything.

And it's like, well, what are you talking about? Evidence? Like, would circumstantial evidence be the people. who created the technology or warning about this constantly? Would that be considered evidence? Here he is, JD Vance, friend of the show. Let's, let's get I can't hear him. Okay. So I mean, this is what he does. He lies in a way. that isn't good. He doesn't know how to lie. He doesn't know what, he just basically, he tries to like,

take himself out of it goes, well, I haven't seen any, I haven't seen any evidence. Okay, here he is. When I look at ai, I don't see mass unemployment. as the most likely consequence. I think people will become more productive. I think some people's jobs will change. Some people will lose their jobs. But I, I just don't buy this idea. And I haven't seen any evidence in the data. that it's gonna lead to mass unemployment. Okay. No evidence. No evidence, no data evidence in the data.

I don't see any evidence. The the people. who are instrumental in creating the technology come out. and tell you this is what it's gonna do. They're not, they're not at all. like being like vague about their intentions. They literally come out and go, yeah, a lot. of people aren't gonna have jobs. They tell you that. They come out and say it. Now let's watch that surveillance clip. 'cause that's very interesting. He's. concerned about surveillance. That's, that's comforting.

So, so go back, go back to the beginning of this. JD Vance here is concerned about surveillance. I think I really worry about with AI is surveillance. AI is, you know, a friend of mine once said. that AI is fundamentally a communist technology in. that it allows governments. and corporations. to surveil people in Very profound, in different ways. And that scares me a lot. Like I don't want a social credit system. that's powered by ai. I don't want you to not be able to buy a beer.

because some tech CEO EO has given you a score. Stop it for a minute. Stop it. Who are these tech CEOs? Like he says some tech ceo EO as if he's not. sponsored by the tech CEOs and friends with the tech CEOs. I mean, so this is a little bit, this is very difficult for him. This is the difficulty. that he's gonna have in this upcoming campaign. He's like, I don't want some tech ceo. It's like, well, I don't know. You are sitting next to him at dinner. Why don't you tell him not to let him buy the beer?

Hey, can you let this guy buy the beer? He's a good guy. Let him buy the beer. You're at dinner with the guy. So then just tell him. It's like when I had dinner with Vance, I said, just release everything. I'm a podcaster. I have no real. power, but just release everything. Release every file you have, release everything. They, they've not done that. But that's the only way, that's the only way. that you can wash your hands at this. You release everything. You commission an. independent investigation. You have Ghislaine, Maxwell testify, all this stuff. You gotta do it. If you don't do it, you'll be inherently suspect forever.

It's just what it is. It's maximum transparency or your suspect forever. And then there's no amount UFC fights in a White House lawn. There's no amount of fireworks. and there's no amount of military flyovers you can do. that are going to satisfy people. because everybody's gonna go, you are participating. in a coverup of the worst crime imaginable. It's very simple. It's not difficult. It's very easy, but it's, it's never gonna happen.

or it's certainly not gonna happen. under this administration. Let's let him finish his answer here about the surveillance. state that they're all worried about, which is why they gave Sam Altman half a trillion dollars, by the way, because. of the surveillance state that they're all worried about. It's why that they wanted to mer I'm not kidding. They wanted Palantir. and Palantirs might be doing it to merge all. of the databases that collect information on you,

the federal government's databases, whether it's the health, you know, concerning health issues. or criminal justice issues. They wanted Palantir come in and merge them all. and merge them. And now he's going, I'm concerned that a tech CEO. wouldn't wanna buy you a beer or you couldn't buy a beer. 'cause a tech CEO wouldn't let you. But you guys wanted Palantir to come in.

and organise all the federal government's data. and merge all of these databases together. What the hell's that, what would that be used for? What exactly would that be used for? Birthday cards, knowing everybody's birthday, knowing when people retires. You could send them a little gift. What exactly would a database, a a a a grand database that Palantir builts. that integrates all the information the government has about.

you and builds a profile on you. What exactly would that be used for? I'm just confused. So here we go again. Let's let him finish. Let's give him, let's give him the benefit of many doubts. Based on an artificial intelligence algorithm. that nobody actually understands. That scares me too. But I don't think we're gonna have mass unemployment. We might have mass inequality. That's its own problem. Right? It's. A different Problem though. Interesting. Good. Well,

the good news is we won't have mass unemployment. The bad news is we might have like Calcutta style slums, so we will have mass inequality. That might suck. I don't know how we get there with that mass unemployment. Again, that's just so funny. That's just such a funny thing to say. It's such a great thing to say it, it's a funny thing. to say, Hey, we're not gonna have masks on, but we, we might have massive inequality. That's a different problem.

Everybody will be working at the data centre. They will eat, they'll be able to lick the nutrient brick. that we will keep them alive. We will keep them on a diet where they can stay alive. to work at the data centre. Another friend of mine, by the way, they're building these data centres. and they just put an ad in the Wall Street Journal, I believe it was a journal, and, and, and Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. Is that the guy from Dirty Jobs?

They're doing this thing now where they're sponsoring, they're gonna pay people to learn how to build data centres. Okay? They're gonna pay people to learn how. to do these construction jobs. And yeah, this is the guy from Dirty Jobs. So they just, there's this ad. or this article in the Wall Street Journal. 'cause by the way, everything now, and I wanna, I wanna talk about this briefly. Everything is very interesting. I have a friend that works at a YouTube startup. where they're doing shows for new creators, like long form YouTube shows. Where is the money coming from? Well, a lot of the money is coming from Democrat Super pacs.

And the money is coming from Democrat Super pacs. that are funding these, you know, longer form shows. that YouTube wants to do with young creators. because the Democrat Super pacs. and probably not all Democrat, and not exclusively Democrat, but like these pacs political action committees, these 5 0 1 Cs, whatever, they're, they want an audience. They want a captive audience. So if your channel has 10 million people. that are watching content that you have funded and, and,

and, and, and you have gotten behind, and you, you have that audience. You've collected 10 million people. that are watching your stuff. And then you can programme that channel. to have whatever messaging you want. or whatever political ads you want. or this, that, and the other thing. So basically instead of like a clear cut, like, you know, it's a commercial, you know it's happening, you know, I'll do an ad for Poly Market.

I'll do an ad for BlueShield, I'll do an ad. for fucking Helix mattress. You kind of know what's happening. Some of this now is becoming a little more insidious. where you are watching a channel, you're watching content on a channel. That channel exists solely to create an audience, to be programmed in some. political way. And that's why a lot of the money, 'cause they're, they're, instead of saying, Hey,

let's just run ads on established, they go, let's get. behind creators, let's make money, let's build an audience. And we now have a captive audience. for whatever messaging that we have. The Wall Street Journal, op-ed high tech seeks skilled. tradesmen, co-authored by meta president Dean. of Powell McCormick and Mike Rowe. announces America's Workforce Academy.

This $115 million initiative aims. to resolve the massive skilled labour shortage needed. to construct AI and digital data centre infrastructure. They're gonna pay you to learn how. to build these data centres. And then once they're built, your job is over. and they are paying you. to build these data centres. You're, you're, you, you are, you're, you're gonna build the things that replace you. And then you're the job's over. a fast tracked five week training programme covering high.

demand vocation such as electrical work, plumbing, welding, fibre optics, and HVAC cost. and benefits training is completely free meta. and its partners, including CBRE and the associated builders. and contractors cover all tuition, airfare, lodging, and provide a daily stipend during the training period. Guaranteed jobs, every graduate receives an industry. recognised credential. and a guaranteed job on a meta construction project. or with a partner, Mike Row, via his foundation,

has spent decades advocating for the dignity. of blue collar work and addressing the nation's. widening skills gap. His foundation is helping scale a practical bridge linking. eager workers with debt-free six. figure potential trade centres. Now, Mike Rowe might just be saying, they're gonna learn all these skills. and they'll build the data setter, but they'll still have these skills. and they'll still be employable. So whatever, I'm not, I'm not questioning Mike Rose motives. I don't know him and I don't care. Or they just medic gave a. shitload of money and he's telling. and he's leading people like lambs to the slaughter. I don't really know. I don't know. But what I will say is, this is interesting.

They go, we finally have jobs high skilled, you know, labour jobs and we'll pay you to learn. And, and and why are we doing that? Oh, to build these data centres. That's why we're doing it. We could have done this to fix American infrastructure. We could have done it to fix roads and bridges. We could have done it to make our cities beautiful. We could have done it to make our public spaces. beautiful and inspiring. We didn't do it. We're only doing it now at the behest. of meta so. that they can build massive AI data centres.

So finally we have shovel ready jobs. for, for skilled tradesmen. But here's the kicker. You are building the thing. that will inevitably replace you. and many other people in your community. So that's, listen, there's always a catch. There's always a little bit of a catch. And this happens to be the catch.

This happens to be the catch. You finally have a job. and you work for six months to a year. You build this massive data centre. and then, you know, good luck. We're gonna bring in people to run the data centre. and you know, we, we really don't know what you're gonna do after that. So all of these people are being, they're saying build, we're gonna pay for you. to learn the skills. We're gonna train you so you can build these data centres.

that will eventually replace all the jobs. Although our vice president, JD Vance has said. that we do not need. to worry about joblessness coming from AI. only vast inequality and potential surveillance. Well, there you have it, you know, there you have it. That's where we're at. But I'm happy. I'm happy we're out of Iran. It's, it's, it's,

it's better than nothing. It's better than nothing. It's better than still being there. 500 episodes, 500 hours of this show. We've started, we started this show in 2016. and I've done it 500 hours, a bunch of hours on Patreon. I think our country is healthier now than it's ever been. Happier now than it's ever been smarter. and more hopeful about the future. And I think I've had something to do with that.

Not to pat myself on the back, but lot of people get on here. and they're negative for the hour and I don't do it. You know, I'm, there's so much pressure to be negative. and to feast on negative news. and, you know, enrich yourself in the process. But what I've chosen to do day in. and day out is consistently highlight the positive aspects. of humanity and help everyone build a, a bridge. to their future self. They're better, smarter, more successful future self.

So thank you for being a part of that journey. Obviously we will be back next week. and all the other weeks until I am put in jail. and I, they will put me in jail eventually. I, it will be some type of jail. I will be in jail and that's okay. That's okay. Eventually, Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Jill Lonsdale, I, Jill Lonsdale, whatever his name is, I will be in jail.

and you know, I'll, I'll be in some type. of reeducation camp or whatever. because I have spoken out against the future. 'cause they're gonna start calling it that, by the way. They're just gonna start calling it the future. And anyone that doesn't like it or anyone who questions it. and all of this stuff about surveillance. and all that, they're worried about surveillance. I'm worried about surveillance. This is all fake. Obviously you're not stupid. You guys know this. It is all meant to give you the idea. that there's some debate or there's something,

but there's not, there's no 14 point deal. It's, it, it's with Iran. And the only time they reign these tech people in is when. banks flip out and go, we could lose all our fucking money. AI could figure out, AI could figure out, or, or, or, or AI's gonna figure out some way. to like, let the nukes fly. It has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do. And by the way, all these bands, like UK's gonna ban the phones for kids under 16. By the way, I'm all. for getting people off the fucking phone. They should ban them for anyone under 90, by the way.

But here's the point, it has nothing to do. with the mental health of your children. You know that it's so that your children cannot, in their very formative year, and listen, there's a lot of people online. that victimised children, all that stuff. And that should end. And those people should. obviously be prosecuted. But that's not what it's about. What it is about is in your child's formative years, they're not gonna encounter ideas. that challenge the authority of the state.

That's what's about, they're not going to be. exposed to ideas. that might make them question the legitimacy. of the state. The corporate oligarchy, the. technocracy, the entirety of the power structure. They're not gonna question it. And by the time that we do introduce this technology.

to them, we've had hopefully, what if we give it to them at 16, they start gonna school at five. We've had about 15 years of brainwashing, 15 years of brainwashing before we hand them. And I'm not saying phones are great, by the way, they've ruined everything. But like, make no mistake. That's not why they're, they're not, they don't care about your kid's mental health at all, at all, by the way.

This is so that they have a, a headstart of 15 years. of brainwashing. before your child comes in contact with any idea. that would question the legitimacy. of whatever the hell the people in power are trying to do. That's what it is. And that's why there's gonna be a ban in the uk. And don't think, again, the u why, why is there a ban now in the uk? Well, the UK's having a lot of issues with a lot. of different things from migration to the economy.

And a there's, there's a lot of anger, especially. amongst younger people. And that has to be quelled. I'm not saying all that anger's justified. or that it's being, you know, like articulated in the right way. But I am saying that in order. to shut down this conversation, they need. to get these ideas outta the hands of younger people. Because a lot of younger people are very angry.

They're anxious about the. opportunities that they're gonna have. They're questioning why in their own country, some. of them feel less safe or certainly less prosperous. And in order to shut down that conversation, you have. to take away their ability. to be exposed to ideas that are not filtered to the prism. of the state and corporate media. I hope that's not a shock to everyone. Again, I'm not a fan of your 14-year-old.

spending all day on the phone. But make no mistake, the government of the UK or Australia. or whatever, they don't care. They're doing this. because they realise they're losing the plot. They're losing legitimacy in the eyes of young people. They're losing authority in the eyes of young people. When a kid says, I've been stabbed. And the cops go, no, you haven't. And he's laying there bleeding out. and the cops choose to believe a, a, a guy.

because they have. to operate in this framework of, you know, equity and political correctness. and things they barely understand. And young people see that and are filled with rage. and go, that kid could have been me. bleeding out on the street. Now it's time to take everybody's phones, obviously. 500 hours. Here's to 5 0 1. Thank you everyone. Good night.
