The Cornell 7, Bari Weiss, & A Botched Execution | The Tim Dillon Show #515

- The failed execution. of death row inmate Krista Pike has left many. questions up in the air. CBS News has now spoken. with Pike from her hospital room in her first. interview since the incident. - What is your take on the Cornell seven? - Wait a minute. Am I alive? - Do you want to speak up against the Cornell seven? Silence is complacency. - I'm really marginally familiar with the case. Again, they didn't check me with a bunch of poison. and I did think I'd be dead right now.

That being said, obviously the conduct is deplorable. There was an affidavit that she had signed two years earlier. where some of the events seemed different, although when drugs. or alcohol are involved, nothing's exactly goes. by the letter of the law. Are they going to kill me again? - Had the execution been successful, Pike would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee.

in more than 200 years. - I remember the chaplain saying, "May God have mercy on her soul,". and then everything went black and I was all... I requested an all female execution group. Well, egg on my face. I told them to shoot me in the head. - Now you haven't posted in support of Jane Doe. Do you want to comment on that? - Well, I was being injected with poison.

in the death chamber of the Nashville penitentiary. and I was dying. and I had a spiritual advisor kind of leading me in a song. and that was where my mind was at. But in hindsight, I do think. it would have probably been a good idea to at least make. a small post about this to try to let people know that. I was on the right side of history.

And for that, I am sorry and I do regret it. When I am executed again, I promise to use my platform. to condemn the actions of the Cornell seven. - Despite her initial silence on the Cornell seven, Pike did offer her thoughts on a number. of other current events. - I like Mamdoni. I'm excited about what he's doing. I have certain reservations, but I'm cautiously optimistic for the youth.

I really am. I just don't love. that Timothy Chalamet is in everything. - As of now, Pike's execution has been halted. for the remainder of the year. - The Charlie Kirk thing never made any sense to me. It seems like as soon as he turned on Israel... Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. A lot going on this week, a lot we need to address. And it's not easy. because these are the weeks.

that I walk in here and I go, "My job is tough. It's tough and people don't understand that. I wish I was doing construction. or in some mine like you lucky fucks, you're in a mine." You know how nice it is with a couple. of my buddies in a mine, how nice that would be? But I'm here in front of millions of people.

going on the record about the issues of the day. You know how nice it would be to be a public school teacher. or it's a relatively unimportant job like that? You know how nice it would be to have a job. that nobody cared about like a firefighter. or a paediatrician? Oh, put the bandaid on the knee. Enough. I'm here going on record about the issues of the day. I didn't go to Cornell. My best friend did.

We went to community college. and we both said we were going to succeed and I did drugs. and dropped out and sold subprime mortgages. and he really tried hard and he went to Cornell. and I'm so much more successful than him right now. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. He said that to me recently. It's unbelievable. But he has an Ivy League education. What does it mean? So what? Nothing if there's no heart.

Where's the heart? Where's the heart? Okay? I don't have group sex. It's tough enough. to get one person on board. We're not getting... It doesn't take a village. Enough with this. College is done. You're done now. You're done. I'm sick of it. I'm telling you right now and I'm dead serious. I've had enough with it. I've had enough with it, with the hazing,

with the whatever it is, the group activity, the gangland, fuck fest. You're done now. You're going. to be electricians and you're going to be plumbers. You're done. You're not going to be. what you think you're going to be. AI's coming and you better realise this life. that you think you're living, you're going. to live in another way. You'll die for Israel. You will die for Israel.

These colleges are getting closed the fuck down. And if this is what you're going to do, text your buddies. and say we got pussy in a dorm for everybody, then you're going to die for Israel and I'll support it. BB. You will. die in fucking Southern Lebanon. for Israel's expansionist policies if this is. how you're going to behave in college when you have stu... Me and your mother took student loans at you big.

We took co-sign your student loans. But seriously, can anyone explain? I date younger men sometimes. I'll go out with them. They graduate college a few. years after college and they're sitting there. They don't know what's going on. What the hell? They don't know. What does this do. for anyone anymore, this college? What does this do for anybody? I mean, genuinely asking. It is crazy. It's either tent encampments.

or fuck fest rape festival. Whatever. I'm telling you right now, I don't like this. whole system that we've set up with college where people... My scumbag family, and I say that with love. I always do. All they said to me was, "Go to college. Make sure you go to college." That's all they told anyone in.

my hopeless generation of nothings, myself included, by the way. They told us, "Go to college, just go. to college." They didn't give us any guidance in life, not about morals, ethics, dignity, hopes, dreams, health, wellness, fitness, sex, love, anything. No advice on any other topic, money, real estate, career, nothing. Just go to college. That's all our parents told us.

Hey, go to college. Go to college. They'll figure it out. Just get a college degree. Get a piece of paper that says you went to college. And then they pointed some guy in the. street and go, or you're going to be like him. And it was a construction guy, like a normal guy. making money to feed his family. He's probably doing well now. You. probably want that job now. You go, you want to be like him? You want to be a garbage man? That's a great job. They said that all the. time.You're going to be a garbage man. You better go to college. Go to college. It was a way to not parent your children.

Go to college, get a degree, go to college. Get a job, sit in their suit, arm in a suit. Not, not any advice in any other area. of life that would have mattered. Somewhere along the way, in history, we started demeaning any other job. that didn't make you a fat corporate cog. and a slob.

That's what we wanted. We wanted gluttonous. slobs at their desks watching CP. on their lunch break, sexual deviant pigs. I'm the Midwestern sales rep for the... You're a paedophile. That's what you are? And you went to college. It is what it is. You're following my logic here? Yes or yes, I hope you are. What is this college shit?

It's terrible. It's terrible half the time. These liberal arts colleges, these people, they're going insane. These kids are going insane. They're inventing new ways to be crazy. And then these frat fucks, I've had enough. If you're going to be gay, be gay, but don't stand there in your underwear. and smear each other with peanut butter. and then talk about heterosexual behaviour.

It's like if you're all going to get hot. and sweaty in a basement naked, which I'm all for, I'm all for that, but it's gay. Just be gay. What is this? I really have had enough. I really am thinking about it, this idea. And colleges have allowed all these fake industries. to grow private equities like the biggest... All it does is buy things and destroy them.

Everything that you like that sucks now is private equity. I major in finance. I major in finance, finance. And they just all get into the pipeline of these companies. College explodes these sectors of the economy. because of college, by the way, because everybody needs to go get a white collar job. destroying earth instead of going. and doing something else.

You can do things without college. You can be in sales. You can have a trade. You can be a chef. There's so many things you can do. Real world experience is such a big thing. I got to be honest, the scam of Sallie Mae. and student loans, people graduating six figures in the hole in debt, moving. to cities they can't afford, charging everything, putting everything, putting themselves deeper.

and deeper into debt, putting everything on a credit card, paying their student loans. Student loans can't discharge them in bankruptcy. They follow you to the ends of the earth. I hope those four years were fun. This is not a sustainable model for a society. It's not a sustainable model for a society. It's not. I went to community college and I dropped out. I dropped out. I knew it was bullshit immediately.

I knew it made no sense. I was like, "This is crazy." Yes, times in my life I regretted like not going to some school. because college is part, you know, from the animal house days till now, people, it's a dream that you're going. to have the perfect college experience. and that they're going to be the best. four years of your life. Nothing is going to be the best four years of your life. I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now,

you better cut that out. Sam Altman's going to make you into a liquid. You're going to be a fucking liquid. You... Nothing's going to be the best four years of your life. You better reign it the fuck. Are you high? The best four years of your life. You're going to be a liquid or a gel or a gas. You understand me? If you're under 25, you better,

you better fucking lock in the best four years. What the fuck do you think this is, 2005? Let me tell you right now, we don't have draughts anymore. We just send people to die and everybody goes. and gets drunk so there's no draughts anymore, okay? And we have a bunch of people wandering around this country, you know, aimless with tonnes of student debt. because they went to a school chasing the quote best.

four years of their life. They graduated mired in debt, mired in debt. And they're going to die for Israel. and I'm now supporting it. Sorry, you made your bed. You made your bed now. Whatever Israel's doing over. there, I don't know what they're doing. From what I understand, they're, they're, they're.

giving the Palestinians water, I think, and rebuilding their homes. Is that not it? Anyway, you're going to be doing that. You'll be doing that because college is a scam. and we're done with it now. We're done with it. We're done listening to you bitch. and moan about how expensive it is. You're to move to Phoenix and you're. to sell real estate now. You're to move to Phoenix. You're to move to Phoenix. There's no best years of your life anymore. You will be in a hot car without air conditioning,

going to open houses in Phoenix during the summer months, and that's your fucking life. You will have skin cancer. The best four years of your life. You're out of your mind. Peter Thiel's going to put you in a cage, a digital cage. that you can't even see or feel until you try to break out. of it, in which case you're thrown back. That's what it is. Those anthropic fucks are going.

to take you down. What is college for any of that? Every five minutes they keep saying we're taking. all the jobs. We're not going to be leaving. any crumbs for the people. The jobs are leaving. I think they're. exaggerating that, obviously. I think the timeline's a bit hurried. I think they've raised a lot of money.

and lost a lot of money, these tech guys, Anthropics and a lot of them. And they're asking for a regulation from the government in. the form of a big massive bailout. They know the government cannot regulate them. because they know our octogenarian senators have. no idea what's going on. You think Mitch McConnell's going to walk into Anthropic. and start cracking the whip? Hey, show me the latest model, boys. Show me the latest model, boy.

Our senators are dead. They're dead. So nobody's afraid of them walking into fucking OpenAI. They don't understand a cell phone. The people in Congress don't understand a cell phone, so they're not going to be regulating Anthropic. They don't know what it is. Okay? They have no idea what it is. Okay? They think it's restoration hardware or something. They have no... They think you buy a couch there.

Who's going to exactly regulate these companies, the people in our government who know nothing? No, they're not afraid of that. And the people in our government who do know something were. installed by the tech people. So they're not regulating anybody. So all of these tech people go, "We need money. because we've created a monster, and if you knew how bad this monster was, I'm telling you right now..." And. listen, the monster's creepy.

AI is creepy, but I don't think it's. taking everything tomorrow. But let's grant them even a small percentage of. what they say is true, let's say half, and that's maybe an inflated estimate at. the moment, but whatever. What the fuck are you doing at the University of Ohio. other than going to football games? What are you doing? What job are you going to do? Get a trade, truly. This is a trade. What I'm doing is a trade. I didn't study this.

I didn't study this. This is a trade. It's what it is. I did not go to school for this. I know that's shocking. This is not the result of a graduate degree. It's a result of a trade. I spent time in a trade. This is a beautiful thing. Trades are. beautiful things, actually. And I just think this idea of this corporate, this funnel to an unfulfilling life through college, saddled.

with debt, being weird. and doing weird shit, and I don't know, I'm not a lawyer here. Sonny Hossin got in trouble in a view, a friend. of the show, Sonny Hassan, we love her. She got in trouble saying, "Listen, you're not going. to get a rape conviction." I don't think you. will either, but I'm not a lawyer. I don't think you will. She had a statement saying it was consensual, whatever. I'm saying it's a grotesque behaviour to offer up free pussy. and say, "Hey,

we got free pussy in a room and you could come in. and whip it out and is the shop still open. and this is all grotesque behaviour. And if this is what they're doing in college, they can go die for. Israel." It's what it is. And can someone give me... Can Robert. Kraft give me money now? I mean, enough. Clip this. and send it to Bob Kraft with a question mark.

and my face with a dollar in my mouth. Photoshop a dollar in my mouth and go like this. Where's the money? If you're going to haze each other. to death and fucking just have orgies, and then I got to get annoyed by all the... It's so negative on social media. It is negative. It is negative. You're trying. to eat a grouper sandwich like a person in Newport Beach.

and everyone on the internet is talking about rape. Khosla on the side, add Jack cheese, melt in. And now let me go on my machine and scroll. Everybody's talking about. I don't like it. I don't like it. It's not fun for me. What about home renovations? Something fun. Remember that?

Remember HGTV, how fun that was, you'd fix a bathroom. I know no one can own anything now, so. that's less popular, but that was nice. Remember house hunters abroad? What can you get in Peru or something? That was nice. Let's go back to that. We need to go back. to early aughts pleasantness. The society needs to be pleasant society. It's not anymore. It's a vulgar, angry, vicious society.

We need to go back to pleasantries. We need to go back to Sunday morning. Ooh, fresh bread at the bakery and a little bit of coffee. I don't know how we're going to do that. I don't exactly have the roadmap to that. I don't have the time machine to get there, and I don't know what it's going to happen. Tim Dillon Trail is brought to you by Mod. Mod prescribes a once. or twice daily modafinil drink that can keep your. energised, focused. You want to be energised and. focused and alert throughout the day. Here's the mechanism. Energy drinks with caffeine.

temporarily block adenosine, adenosine, the chemical. that makes you tired. It builds up and when the caffeine wears off, it all. crashes you down at once. Modafinil works differently. and engages multiple pathways in your brain. Dopamine, norphedrine, histamine, orexin, to achieve steady energy. and alertness for 10 to 12 hours was invented in the 1970s. and since then it's been used by the highest performers. on and off the planet. Whoa. Whoa. That means aliens use it.

Soldiers, pilots and astronauts aboard the space station use. modafinil in high stakes situations where full concentration. and alertness are paramount.

Ultra pouches to me are one of the greatest things. And let me tell you why, because here's the deal. Do you need a nicotine pouch every. 15 minutes just to feel normal? How many pouches do you need per day. to stop yourself from crashing. or from feeling nicotine withdrawal? These are instant energy in a pouch. I'm seeing them everywhere. They're blowing up. I've been using ultra forever. I love them so much, but these new energy pouches gives me even more intense. energy boost when I need that extra cake in the morning. During work or before working out, they're 100% nicotine free. and they give you energy in a way that's completely.

different from nicotine coffee or energy drinks. How? Caffeine, L-thenine, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, and B12. So unlike nicotine that might only help for 10. to 15 minutes, Ultra Energy patches deliver instant energy. that lasts for 30 to 60 minutes. When I want coffee at work, I just pop one of these instead. and feel so much better. Ultra is the ultimate guilt-free pouch delivering instant. energy, mental clarity and boosted mood without. nicotine, sugar or calories.

And if these five AI fucks keep coming on TV telling. everyone we're going to die, here's. what scares me about them. Zuck, Dario, Wario, Amodi, whatever his name is, fucking Elon, fucking... Whoever else they've got in there, Saran, Saraman, all the whole crew, they're not people. This is what bothers me about them.

They're not human beings. They're not even bad human beings. They're not human beings. When you watch Zuck, when you watch Zuckerberg, when you watch any of these people, when you watch Sam Altman, when you watch Teal, they're not people. They're another thing. I don't know what that is. I'm not a theologian, but they're not people. So whereas like the big bankers were bad people. because they were greedy and heartless, whatever.

They were people and they had identifiably human traits, although ones that one would call. concerning to say the least. If you ran into a big greedy oil guy, an Enron, a scammer. or whatever, they were identifiably people. These guys, when you look at Altman. and Zuckerberg, Elon, when you see these people talk, they are not people. They are not human beings. They don't love human beings.

They're kind of weird around human beings. When Zuckerberg sits down with Theovan. and Theo's a human being in Zuckerberg, how do I approach this? How does this work? They do not like human beings. Human beings gum up their system. They get in the way of what they want to do. and they don't love that. Human beings are really inefficient. That's what Elon Musk said. It's like an inefficient. operating system that desperately needs an upgrade. I mean, this is what they all believe. They don't like sloppy humanity.

and they'd like to eliminate it. And I'm not saying AI won't have any good things either. There will be good things. Like. everything, there will be good things. I'm a little uncomfortable that five people. are running the planet. and every 72 hours they are terrifying you into. you have to give them all the money. We've built something you don't know how powerful it is.

All right. It's going to take all your jobs, okay? And we need more money. What? We need more money and we need to build more data centres. We need to kick you out of your house. So that's what you have to be on board with now, by the way. You have to be on board with your tax dollars going. to OpenAI and Anthropic, and then also a data centre being built on the house. where your mother died. And if you're not on board with that, you're not a good American, by the way.

And Pete Hegsav can take a break from bombing the schools. of children using AI targeting, and he's bombing the schools of girls to then put an office. of religion in the Pentagon, an office of faith. I mean, what a fraud, how disgusting, how abhorrent, impeach them all. It's heinous. It's hideous. It's grotesque. So we can't even kill people in this country. We inject this bitch twice. We can't kill this bitch in Nashville.

In Nashville, we can't kill a bitch? She's strapped to a gurney. You've got a needle, and you still can't kill her. Now, let's leave out for a minute the death penalty. and the corporate barbarism, the totalitarian, whatever. I'm actually pro-death penalty in certain cases. I really am. I'm sorry. I know people aren't. I really am. I think it's a tool and I don't think everyone can be here.

Sorry. And what did she do? She did something horrible. What'd she do? Bring up what she did. Chop her head off. Cut her head off. Cut her fucking head off. Fuck you if you have a problem with it. She was convicted of the first degree murder, torture, conspiracy of 19-year-old Colleen Slimmer. Cut her head off. Who gives a fuck? Enough with this shit.

Sick of this fucking country. Cut her head off. We can't even kill someone. It's a fucking embarrassment. It's a fucking embarrassment. This is Rateal's point. This is all these tech people's point. You can't even kill a bitch. They're like, "You don't want AI. You can't kill a bitch in fucking. jail?" On. January 12th, 1995, 18-year-old Pike, her boyfriend, Tidaro Ship, and their friend, Shadola Peterson Lord, fellow.

Job Corp student, Colleen Slimmer, to a secluded wooded area. on the University of Tennessee agricultural campus. Pike believed Schlemmer was interested in ship. Pike and Ship brutally tortured. and bludgeoned Slemmer, cutting her with a box cutter. and a meat cleaver and striking her with a piece of asphalt. Slemmer's throat was slashed while she begged for mercy. Here's the deal. I try to be a Catholic. Jesus would not execute them. I'm not Jesus. It is very hard to be a Christian. and it is very difficult to be a Christian every moment. of the day, and it is really tough to be.

My grandmother tried to live in the examples of Jesus. It's a very difficult thing to do. Most people don't do it. No one in our government does it. Hint, hint, hint, hint, hint. Okay? So yes, the instinct should be forgiveness. Turn the other cheek. It is the most difficult thing in the. world, but I also... Listen, listen. Here's the reality.

You got to be able to... Unfortunately, this woman tortured someone to death. It is what it is. It is, it is... It's not something that I like to say, but when that second shot did not work. and she was in agony, which is not right, we shouldn't be torturing people on their way out. We should have shot her in the head. It would have been humane. We should have shot her in her face, shot her in the head.

And here's a thing like that. It would have been kind of unexpected for the audience, and it would have been something that I think a few. of them would have went, "That's a real story.". Watching an execution is fine, but you go, "It didn't work. and she kept writhing around in pain. and then a deputy just said, Fuck it, and shot her in the head because it's Tennessee.

I'm sorry she tortured somebody. She's on death row and I'm. embarrassed that we can't kill her. And this is the fucking anthropic's point. They're going to go, "You can't even kill this bitch, you dumb dumbs." Can we play a little. of a news story about this? What's she going to do now? She's going to wake up, she's on a view? - Good evening. I'm Nikki Batiste. We are coming on the air. with a breaking news update in the case of Krista Pike, the Tennessee Death Row inmate who is still alive tonight,

according to her lawyer, after an apparent botched execution attempt. Pike's attorneys are seeking an emergency stay from the. Tennessee State Supreme Court. Two syringes of the lethal injection pentabarbadal had been. administered, but Pike still had a heartbeat. and was audibly snoring. and complained of pain according to witnesses. Correspondence with our Knoxville affiliate were there. and they break down what happened. - One, it has been a day unlike any. I've ever experienced in my 30 plus years of reporting.

here at Riverbend as - It's. - Brutal. Here's the thing, state sanctioned death is brutal. We don't want it, the machinery of state, but just, just someone go in there. and smother her with a pillow, please. We can get over this while she sleeps. Just smother her with a pillow, please. We have to move on in this country. We have to show that people can do it.

We're losing to fucking machines you fucking retards. Go in there and blow her brains out in her bed. and show these tech fucks that people still rule. Otherwise, Claude is going to do it. You know who wouldn't have fucked that execution up? Claude. Claude would, or Grock. But you know who did? These fucking inbred retards in the Tennessee prison system.

So can someone please, for the sake of humanity, to prove. that we still got it, quietly walk into her room. and blow her brains out? Let's continue watching. And by the way, this is a pro-human piece that I'm doing. and it's right and I'm right. - As we waited and waited. and waited for a moment that John, you eventually witnessed the... We don't know if it was the execution of Krista Pike.

because we don't know if she's. alive or dead at this point. No, - As we stand here in the parking lot right. outside Riverbend, we have no idea. whether she's alive or dead. We were told basically at 8:49 PM. tonight "You need to leave. It's time to go." And so that's what we did. We obliged and last we heard she was still breathing. Few minutes after we left the building. and merged here, we were actually going to start talking. to our colleagues in the media. I noticed a lot of flashing red lights off to the, our left.

and I pointed over there. and sure enough it was a fire truck from Nashville Fire. I think a couple ambulances. I'm going to infer they were picking up. Krista, dead or alive. I don't know. - And then they took off. They did and the sirens. after minutes, they went back and left. John, you have witnessed several other executions. This unlike anyone - It's. - How I come. - You've experienced prior, I'm sure. - Well, you know, let's be clear. There's a protocol - Let's be clear. On how this is. - Supposed to.

I get aroused and my doctor said that that's something. that is not unexpected. And it's not only sexual arousal. What's interesting is that my doctor said it's a response. to any elevation in blood pressure. So when I watch the execution, my penis becomes erect. and I also feel my anus muscles loosening and getting wet. Now, as someone who's not a homosexual, that is interesting. to me, but as I watch the execution, I myself.

want to be dominated in a way. that I never have felt comfortable asking my. wife to dominate me. I want her to kind of straddle me with a dildo. and peg me is the term. And basically teach me a lesson. because I long to be in the pain. of the person being executed. because it feels like the ultimate release. And what I've learned about sex as I've gotten older is. that it's not just the mechanics.

A lot of it is the cerebral things going on behind it. And I long for the release of that death. So to me, coming is actually like death. And I want to die many, many times. and shed myself of the physical body. so I can enter an ethereal realm where I completely. remain at a low level of orgasm, sort. of like a time release, which is what I imagine heaven is.

Continue. - They think this thing out, they put it in paperwork and there are steps. We were thinking - By. - The way, look at him. He should not be allowed to watch Execution. This guy should not be allowed to watch Execution. By the way, he is living his best life. This is his dream job. When he gets a call, it's going down Thursday night.

He is happy. It's like a young kid being told. that they're going to Disney World. When he gets to go to the Death House... And my favourite movie when I was a kid was Dead Man Walking. with Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. What an amazing film about Sister Helen Prajan. who literally did the work of being a real Christian. and minister to people on death row. And it's unbelievable. And it's one of the great, greatest films of our time, truly. But this man is very sick, obviously,

the man we're looking at now. And all right, get him out of here. All right, she's not dead. I. don't know what to do with everybody. I don't know what to do. because I'm just, again, it's a pro-human show. and I want to show that people still have. the ability to really execute. And I mean tasks and people.

If your job is to make sure she's going, you cannot fuck it up. It looks bad. It looks bad. I love Gusto. People keep asking me, "What is Gusto?" And I'm. like, "Wait, what? You're not using Gusto?

Your children are uncomfortable, okay? The waiter's weird, but he's not bad looking. And your wife starts looking at him. and imagining having sex with him, okay, in his dirty apartment. His dirty apartment. She wants to just ride his cock in the dirty. little hole he lives in. because she doesn't like the big house that you built. and all the work and the drinking. that you do softens your penis a little bit.

One of the oldest friends of the show, truly, and someone who's now making a foray into standup comedy, the great Barry Weiss. Barry Weiss is a... She's doing comedy now. She's doing a performance art. She's...

And I like it. I like it because when you're a creative person, you don't want to be boxed in. And I think she's just been boxed in. And that's a crowd's reaction. Take a look at the crowd. There's a teal and the rest of them. That's the crowd's reaction over the comedy. She's new. Hey guys, she's a beginner. How about you lighten up? She's a beginner. She's been running CBS News. She's a beginner. So Barry is now starting out in comedy,

but she's got raw talent and charisma. So if you pair that with work ethic. and then a desire to dominate the world and subject. and others, which we know she has, I. think she will do actually very well in this. So let's play one of her first sets that's on camera. We have Barry Weiss doing comedy. for Peter Thiel and I believe the Palantir audience, and they're a fun loving group.

And so here she goes, Barry Weiss, friend of our show for a very long time, doing standup comedy. Here she is. - The Axel Springer Awards 2026 goes to. Peter Thiel. - Of course.

- Please welcome on stage the CEO of the free press. and editor-in-chief of CBS News, Barry Weiss. - I want to begin tonight by thanking you all. for attending my lecture on the Antichrist. For all the media journalists who are watching this. or pouring over this transcript, that was a joke. I only talk about the Antichrist at my secret weekly meeting.

supervised by the Mossad in Tel Aviv. What's not a joke is that I'm deeply grateful. to be here in Berlin with Mathia Stoffner, a true friend and ally. - All right, stop it right there. Now, Barry goes up and she's nervous. You can tell she's nervous. because she hasn't done anything in public in a while. She's been in a bunker in CBS News. and she's surrounded by security guards all day, every day.

And if you as much at CBS News go, "Hey, I'm going. to get a Caesar wrap. You want something?" They'll kill you. That's the imagined threat level she's under. So she has not been in public. She used to do these debates and she was in public a lot. I opened one of them with standup. I opened two of them. Paid me well, very nice. And I told someone recently she still thinks I'm. funny, which I appreciate.

I appreciate. And so she is giving Peter. Thiel some award. He's won an award. I don't know. He doesn't seem happy about it. and no one around him seems happy, but it's an award at Axel Springer. Can you look that up, what kind of award that is? I'm curious what kind of award he's getting, but I imagine it's for his humanitarian work. He's always trying to help, he's always trying.

to help people from what I understand about him. But Barry is there. Now Barry is kind of... She's doing a playful roast. because we all know Peter Thiel gives lectures about. the Antichrist. We also know that Peter Thiel owns the company Palantir, which provides a lot of tech to Israel for. what they're doing in Gaza. So Barry does a joke. She goes, "Okay, so it's the Axel Springer Award. Click on that." Oh, he honoured Thiel. for creating new markets, driving technological chains. and shaping digital payments and data analytics.

Oh, it's a digital payment award. Amazing. Well, by the way, hats off. Congrats. So Peter Thiel is in Germany. to accept a digital payment award, and Barry Weiss is hosting the event. And Barry goes out there and goes, "Hey, this is my speech on the antichrist playfully. talking about Teal." And then she goes, "No, no, no, no, no. I actually only give that at my secret. meeting," which he has.

Peter Thiel has that secret group. and everyone that was in it got outed. And she goes, "At the Mossad meetings in Tel Aviv." Now, Palantir works with the Messad and the CIA. and they provide a lot of weapons technology. for the Israeli... For the IDF. Peter Thiel does give. lectures on the Antichrist. Peter Thiel also has a secret group. "Barry, honey, baby. Barry, sweetie, darling. Where's the joke?

Honey, it's got to be a bit. Babycake, sweetie, it's got to be a bit. You can't just go out there. and say three provably true things and hope everybody laughs. because of how ridiculous they are. They're all provably true. They're on Wikipedia. You could prove that case in court. He has a secret group. He works with the Israeli army and the Mossad, and he fucking gives lectures on the Antichrist. So she's going out. Now, this is how detached she is.

She thinks that she's making fun. of the absurd suggestion. that this guy's lecturing about the Antichrist in Tel. Aviv, which he would. Why wouldn't he? He's doing it in Nashville. He'll do it in Tel Aviv. He makes more money at Tel Aviv than Nashville. But Barry comes out and lays this all out as if it's... Play it again. It's unbelievable. It's a fact.

She states three facts. Here she is, Barrywise. She's rushing too. Pause it for a minute. When you're bombing, you're usually rushing. I've had bad sets and you're usually going like this. and you're going really fast because you're hoping to get. to something that'll make someone laugh please. I got... There she is. - I want to begin tonight by thanking you all. for attending my lecture on the Antichrist. In fact, he does. For all the media journalists.

who are watching this. or pouring over this transcript, that was a joke. I only talk about the Antichrist at my secret weekly meeting. supervised by the Mossad in Tel Aviv. He. - Has a secret club. He has a secret group. He sells the Palantir sells their weapons tech. to the IDF and to the Mossad. What? So now she's doing this. Now Teal is in the seat going, "Can you shut your mouth?" You know, here's the thing with her. They keep trying to make her a thing. The Mossad has to be so unbelievably embarrassed.

Look at his face. Look at his face. The Mossad has to be so embarrassed. by the money they gave her. They go, "Can't she just go back to doing these debates. and stop whatever the hell she's doing? She's bringing heat on the whole operation.". This is like the scene of Goodfellas when they're like, "I told you don't get a new fucking car.". So this is Peter Thiel's face at Barry Weiss's attempt at. comedy when she's just stating facts about him.

that she thinks are quirky. Keep playing this. I want to see where she pivots to. because Barry does love a pivot. - Secret weekly meeting supervised. by the Mossad in Tel Aviv. What's not a joke is that I'm deeply grateful. to be here in Berlin. None of. - It was a joke, honey. Honey. When you have. to say what's not a joke, none of it was a joke. That's why the audience is sitting there in stunned silence, because none of it's a joke.

They don't know why you've put it all together so well. You've genuinely linked it all up quite nicely. You've summarised three hours. of info wars into one pretty believable anecdote tidbit. that you decide to open the thing up with, but go on. Keep going. - Hoefner, a true friend and ally, and with Axel Springer, a company with morally clear values. and leaders willing to stand up for them. What? And obviously I'm happy to be here with all of you.

Back home, there is a quote widely attributed to Bismarck, "God has a special providence for fools, drunkards, and the United States of America." Now, who knows if the German chancellor actually uttered the. backhanded compliment, but I love it, as do so many others, because it gets to a higher truth about my country, that America is a very lucky place. It's a lucky place to be born, and it is a lucky place to end up. It's why people from every corner of the globe still reach.

for our shores as a place to build, including our. Frankfurt-born honoree. Tonight, I have the pleasure to introduce a man whose life -. - She's using Peter Thiel. as the example of the American dream. That's great. That is kind of cool. That is pretty hilarious. She's using a guy that built a defence tech company. that is murdering people. at a massive scale all over the world.

Here's what she's saying is it's still... It's a lucky place. It's a lucky place. That's why people from all over the world come here in hopes. of starting an AI defence company. that can massacre people all over the world, because it's a lucky place in America. By the way, he left America. He doesn't even live here anymore. He's living in Argentina. Keep going. God, I can't get enough of her. She's just top-notch, isn't she? Every time you think it's bad, it gets worse.

It's unbelievable. By the way, what are the Ellisons even doing? You know Larry Ellison calls his son, goes, "What are you doing with her?". I guarantee you Larry Ellison calls his son. I don't even know and I don't have inside info. I guarantee you Larry Ellison's going, "What exactly is going on with her? I know you had a few nice dinners, but what's happening here?" Okay? - Whose character embodies what I think of. as the quintessential American spirit, heretical, driven,

audacious, pioneering, innovative, entrepreneurial, original, eccentric, and above all, ferociously independent. And that, of course, is Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel is many things. He is a centre of gravity in Silicon Valley, a vanguard. of the counter elite. He's a man whose name -. - By the way, I'm just delighting this. Really, this is made for me.

This is like a tailor-made... I want nothing more than to watch this. This is what I curl up with, with a nice cup, a nice bowl. of Haagen-Dazs, and other people want to watch, I don't know, The Hunger Games, or fucking, they want to watch The Godfather, they want. to watch Resident Evil. All of those three movies together, to me, are this. To watch one sociopath give an award.

to another psychopath is unbelievable. It's actually the most... Barry Weiss giving an award to Peter Thiel right now. is a gift to me from Almighty. Thank you. I don't deserve this. I do not deserve this. At a digital payments conference in Berlin, I mean, stop it. And Barry's dressed in all black? Stop it.

And she's saying Peter Thiel's the American dream. and he's ferocious, entrepreneurial, independent. And he's sitting there emotionless waiting for it to end. He goes, "When will they get her off the stage?". Peter Thiel wants the sandman to come out at the Apollo. with the hook and get her off. Peter Thiel doesn't want his shit discussed. Peter Thiel just goes, "Give me the fucking award." He's sitting there looking at. her going, "God, you're mediocre adult.

Keep going. Please keep going. I'm not going to play this whole thing. because it's too long." How long is this, by the way? - Her speech is like 10 minutes. - Oh, it's only 10. We might stick with it, folks. I'm telling you right now, it's too good. This is too... First of all, number one, let's just think about this, folks. Whose idea was this for either one. of their PR? Whose idea was this?

Where is the president of CBS News? She's giving Peter Thiel an award. at a Germany digital payments conference. Didn't this happen recently? Yeah. This woman is supposed to be the impartial head of one. of our greatest legacy news brands. She's giving an award to the head. of a defence tech AI surveillance company. who's left the country, doesn't even live in America.

I mean, God, it's so good. It is so good. And they wonder why everyone hates them. The tech people, the elites, the people, the people go, "Why is everyone mad at the cost. of a burrito?" You know what they're really mad at? You. They hate you. Yes, the cost of the burrito is annoying, but when you do shit like this, it's unbelievable.

God, keep going, please. - Tom A Rorschach tests the world over, including judging from the protest down the. street here in Berlin. But above all, I would say Peter Thiel is free. The New York Times columnist, Maureen Dowd, once called Thiel a walking oxymoron, and in a certain light, it can certainly appear that way. Is he a traditionalist or a transhumanist?

Is he the ultimate insider or the consummate outsider? An Orthodox Christian. or the most prominent unorthodox figure of our age, a prophet of doom who believes that we're in a period. of technological stagnation. or a utopian who thinks we're on the precipice. of beating death itself. - Pause this. She's asked. to give this guy an award. Now I feel bad for him. This is how bad Barry Weiss is at her job.

She makes you feel bad for the devil. If Barry Weiss was giving an award. to the devil, you would go... Halfway through it, you'd have to go, "Oh, really? He has to sit through this?" This is how bad Barry Weiss is. She's there to give this guy an award. She goes, "Is he a prophet of doom?". Can you imagine giving someone an award. and that's one of the lines in the speech. that nobody takes a big marker out with red pen. and goes, "Hey, hun, that's a little negative. We're kind of giving him an award for. whatever fucking markets he built and this digital payment.

You know this bullshit we're all doing here. We're just giving him an award." She goes, "Is he a prophet. of doom?" It's like you almost think... Is there no editor? Does she have no editor? Does her wife or anyone who wife's a really good writer, does anyone grab it and go, "Hey, honey, you call him a prophet..." Now, by the way, she happens. to be correct, but it's the guy's fake award. I mean, come on. - But why isn't he just all of the above? - Right. - The thing is, is.

that Peter Thiel defies categorization, and that is just one of the many things. that confounds his critics. But what those who love him. and those who love him just a little bit less, can't dispute is this. He sees things before the rest of us do. He knows what's coming. and seems consistently to get there first. It's an extraordinary quality. and one that's given him an astonishing track record, like back in 1998, betting on an e-commerce platform when no one knew.

what an online order was, like launching the Thiel Fellowship. and urging bright young people to skip college long. before anyone dared say out loud that much. of American higher education had gone bust. Or writing in an email to Mark Zuckerberg back in 2020. that high housing costs. and student debt would drive legions of young people. to reject capitalism and embrace socialism. - Or making the crazy bet that Israel might go into Gaza.

and kill everyone. Who would've thunk it? Only Peter Thiel. - The DSA was making daily headlines. or predicting the rise of a global movement. around AI safetyism years. before people knew what AGI even stood for. I don't think those are lucky breaks. They happen because Peter actually lives out. that classic Apple slogan, "Think different." He's able. to see around corners.

because he sees the world differently from other people. - And he has people around those corners going, "Here's what's going to happen." But go on. - Which means, of course, like everyone in this room, Peter Thiel and I have our differences. He's a gay man. I'm a gay woman, which makes us cosmic foes. He's into sea steadying. I get seasick in a canoe. He believes the Messiah has come. and I'm Jewish, so I'm still waiting for him to show up. And of course, there's the difference in our attitude, at least sometimes toward the press, into the vital role.

that it plays in maintaining a liberal democracy. I view it as essential. It's my life's work. I see it as an instrument of liberty. and as an engine of progress that deserves. to be invested in and perfected. But to the extent Peter. and I disagree on this, I'm going to consider it a victory. for my side of the argument. that he's here tonight receiving an award from an. institution that's become synonymous with freedom. of the press and just freedom around the world. Because in a free world, we won't always agree.

That is in the nature of freedom. And I want to live in freedom. I want to live alongside people, even those that I disagree. with, I would say especially those that I disagree with. - Thank you. - Because in thinking freely. and in risking big and in risking being wrong -. - Such terrible writing. - Free people expand the scope of. what is possible for all of us. My brilliant colleague, Ross Dalfit, recently called Peter the most influential right-wing.

intellectual of the past 20 years. I think that might be true, but what that label, right-wing. or conservative misses is how strange. and wild, how untamed Peter's worldview is. It's why it's so fun. to sit across from him in a conversation or an interview. because you never know where he will go. He might wind up saying he's not sure if freedom. and democracy are compatible. or seriously considering, as he did recently, whether. or not the human race should.

continue, I think in the end the answer. - These are bad... Let's pause it for a minute. Honey, these are bad things. I just want to reiterate that, my love, my dear. These are not good things. She goes, "It's always fun to sit with Peter. because he goes, he doesn't know if democracy. and freedom are compatible, and maybe the human beings shouldn't even exist. And that's a fun night out, maybe, but he's a billionaire. and he runs a huge company that has contracts.

with the government and it's subsidised to a degree. with tax dollars, a lot, by the way. So it's not nice, sweetie, that he wants. to eliminate the human race. I know that you find it cute when you have dinner with him. It's quirky, but it's actually disturbs many of us. Keep going. Let's see if she finishes big. What a real... Not a How long does this keep going?

We can't go on here forever. - Like another four minutes. I can go to the end. - Oh, it's another four? No, we're giving her four. Listen, let me tell you right now, this is my Super Bowl. The head of CBS News is giving Peter Thiel an. award in Germany. It is Barry Weiss. She's up there. He looks so uncomfortable. This is my Super Bowl. We're going to give her the next four minutes. because she's just getting to the good stuff. She's saying he doesn't think the human race should exist.

and he doesn't believe in democracy, but that's one of the reasons she likes him. Continue. - His is a worldview informed by both Ayn Rand. and Rene Girard, by Strauss. and Tolkien, as you saw in that video, by Christianity, by libertarianism and techno-optimism. And perhaps above all, by unorthodoxy, or as Gerard would've put it, by anti-mimesis as a school. of thought and as a practise, as a habit of mind. That unusual blend has produced.

what is perhaps the defining question. of Peter Thiel's career. - Are you saying that? What - Important truth do very few. people agree with you on? He famously asks that to founders and to potential hires, but it's more than an interview stunt. I think that question is at the essence. of Peter's character. What important truth do very few people agree with you on. is a question that can only be asked. and answered by someone with courage,

because it takes courage to interrogate your priors. It takes courage to say out loud the thing you. know will set you apart. It takes courage to be lonely. There is a reason that. so many public - She's really hitting them. Keep going. Figures of our age seem. to speak in perfect unison on every important topic. And there is a reason that we can count on one hand the ones. that don't, which is why that quality, that willingness. to be shouted out without going wobbly.

is vanishingly rare these days. It's better to risk boldness than triviality. Peter writes in his book, Zero to One, which is available in bookstores everywhere. He needs the royalties. And it is a principle. that Peter has lived out and then some in his own life. No one in the world can accuse tonight's. honoree of being boring. It is also animated the most tangible way. that he has changed our world through the companies.

that he has founded and funded. "What happened to the future? "Peter asks. And not with nostalgia. He asks it in order to change it. and to challenge the rest of us to think bigger, to think in civilizational terms. And his companies have created the future. PayPal changed the nature of commerce. Palantir changed the nature of war finding. among many other things. And the countless number of startups. and companies that Thiel's Capital has launched into orbit,

not to mention the vast network of founders and builders. and young people, including even a free press. intern that he has influenced. To name just a few, Meta, SpaceX, Neuralink, Anduril, Hadrian, Airbnb, Ramp, Stripe, and Spotify. These are founders and companies. that have transformed the way that hundreds of millions. of people around the world live their lives, making commerce more efficient, making music. and travel more accessible, launching satellites, manufacturing drones, promising future life on Mars,

allowing the mute to speak as in the case of Neurolink. - By the way, can you go mute? Where's the technology to get you to go mute? - These are companies that make the American, maybe the Western will to build alive. and real, propelling to success the startups. and the people that might just guarantee. that the next century remains a free one. I know Germans like their operas long, so I am sure.

that we have only witnessed the first act. in Peter's ring cycle. There will surely be more provocations, more ideas to test, more worlds to build. We are in the early stages of a century. that Peter has said promises to be far greater. and more terrible than the great and terrible 20th century, but greater and more terrible in what way? Will the 21st century usher in machine gods, populism. or rule by algorithm, apocalypse or abundance?

As Strauss put the bigger question we all face. - Or even, or she goes, or worse than any. of those things, me. Worse in anything, worse than machine gods, rule. by algorithm or populism? Me. More of me in this black outfit, this ill-fitting black suit. Will it be more of me droning on in this. ill-fitting black suit? Doesn't you have 200 million? Honey, get a stylist.

Keep going. - Or return. What's amazing about Peter Thiel is. that he can argue either side of any of those questions. What's more important. and what I know we need as we hurdle through the era. of AI and the algorithm. - Is that he has - Practised at being perpendicular. In this era of conformity, it is essential. that we have sharp people unwilling. to soften their edges. Oh. - Boy. - People who demand to. - Be free.

You soften your edges a little. - And crucially who still remain interested in the questions. that so many left behind. or frankly never even entertained. by the time they graduated college. Peter Thiel still hungers for knowledge and understanding. - I mean, these billionaires are sitting there going, when do we get to eat the children? When do we get to eat the children? When do we get to the adrenochrum? How long do we have to listen. to this bird babble? Finish up here. - Another way, he investigates. what Socrates was accused of investigating.

- Oh God. The - Things aloft and under the earth. - God help us. The - Pursuit of truth. - Enough. The - Interrogation of the things. that in the end truly matter. - You're repeating yourself. And God. - Knows we need people like that now more than ever. - Oh boy. - So please join me in giving a heartfelt. - Congratulations - Get God's name out of your mouth. To. - The singular Peter Thiel on receiving this remarkable. - Award. All right. Give it a clap for Peter Thiel. Clap for Peter Thiel. They're good friends. That's what it's about. It's about friendship. Look at him. All right, get her out of here. Barry Weiss.

What a big disaster. What a horror. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Oh, Barry Weiss giving Peter Thiel, the head of CBS News, she's the head of one of our legacy news networks. Her boss now runs everything. Warner, the other one, Paramount, Warner, CNN. I mean, you know. So this is what it's going to be now. You're just going to turn on the TV. and it's going to be Peter Thiel getting an award. It'll be some tech guy getting an award about.

how he's built a new world. This is going to be the future of America. It's just going to be Barry Weiss. or someone of that ilk going, "Hey, by the way, we're giving a great award now to Mark Andreessen. or Sam Altman's getting an award. A lot of people say Sam killed one. of his employees." But what is he? Is he a murderer or a visionary? We don't know. What is he? We don't really know what he is. We don't get it. Is Mark Zuckerberg even real? What's that guy about?

Is he making people kill themselves. by driving negative algorithms, driving them insane with that? Or is he a fun guy that likes jiu-jitsu? We don't know. Isn't it wacky? What a weird speech. But that's going to be the future. They're just going to be like, "What's this. Sam Altman guy about? What's he about? What makes him. tick?" That's. as clear a proof as any, by the way, that this is a supernational government.

that she is now a part of, although I don't know how, no one else does, including the people there. But I mean, it's unbelievable to work your whole life. to get into that room and then you're sitting there. with Barry White and you go, "This is deeply mediocre. and like really bad. It's like babbling." It's like not even collegiate level. It's like really bad. It's jumbled up. It's not delivered well. It's just bad speaking.

It's all of the above. It's bad writing. It's bad presentation. It's like, you know, amateur hour. And there's a lot of demons in that room that go, "I. sold my soul to Satan to get in this room. I eat children to get in this room and I have to sit here. and listen to her." I mean, this is a woman. and with all due respect, you know, to her, she was perfectly, she should be on like Bill Moore once. every four months and like that's what she should be doing.

That's what she should be doing like on Bill Maher, you know, like with a hot take. She's Bill Moore hot take lady. She's not like fucking fucking. Bildeberg group speaker of the night. She's fucking hot take Bill Moore lady. These German billionaires are so bored. Oh God. What's the... Peter T.

Is he a prophet of doom or is he an Orthodox Christian? He's not an Orthodox Christian. That's number one. Neither am I, but it's, he's not that. She's like, "Is he humanitarian. or does he want to kill everyone on the planet?" It's like, "Well, no one's ever asked that question about anyone, so no one who's ever been a humanitarian has said. or done anything like he's done.". I mean, it's just so funny. She's like, "Is he this. or is he that?" It's like you can't ask. those que - you know what I mean? Is he a crack head or the most trusting, a guy you should trust in your house? It's like, "Well, no, it's one of the two.".

There's no confusion about which extreme. Well, we love her. We love people living their dream. This is what she always wanted. Barry always wanted this. You know, she always wanted to be in a room like that, giving a speech like that to a bunch of disinterested. German tech billionaires who desperately want it. And they, they literally don't know who she... They go, "Who is she again?" They're at like the, they're at like dinner going, "Who is she?" And they go, "She runs CBS News." They go, "Whoa, boy. Interesting." It's they... Here's the deal.

Those people more than anyone are invested. in the establishment. They are invested in the way things are supposed to work, the blue blood blazer button up, fucking Eastern elite, Bildeberg, Davos, WEF World Economics shit. They're invested in that in a real way and, and, and she's the bitch giving the speech. They're like, "What's going on?". They want the top tier operators.

and they need them. because the dam of, of information, I mean, it's like it's, it's breaking and the internet has made a lot. of people wake up and, and, and it hasn't sent all the people in the right directions. clearly, but a lot of people are. going, "Hey, what's going on? Life doesn't make any sense." And it keeps getting more. expensive and it's harder and it makes no sense. and no one will explain to me why this has to be done.

Satan obsessed techno-optimists.

Good night.
