Rob Reiner, Redacted Files, & The Spirit Of Friendship | The Tim Dillon Show #475

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