Election Analysis & Turning Yourself In | The Tim Dillon Show #416

ladies and gentlemen welcome to the tim dillon show we are excited to be here
uh we ended up in
miami for the week so we uh have a nice little studio here in miami these
people have let us
use the studio and we will put their information in the description of the
episode if you were in
miami and you want to record a podcast you should do it here now you are you
going to be in miami
no you're not going to be here and you don't have a podcast and you don't have
any money to pay them
to rent the space because the podcast you have doesn't earn any money and none
of that's my fault
so what this is called is an empty gesture i'm saying a nice thing that has no
bearing on your
life it never will you'll never be here doing this doesn't matter but i'm
saying it because it makes
the people here feel good and it makes me feel good it's nothing for me to say
it it just means
nothing and it's just like men like the reactions that many of you are having
to this election
they ultimately mean nothing they don't mean anything i appreciate that people
are unhappy i understand that
you're upset do you need to post the suicide hotline do you think that's
appropriate do you think it is
appropriate to take time away from people who are genuinely suicidal there are
people that have been
suicidal suicidal for months or years that utilize that service because they
want to check out
and you're calling it the day after the election because you're upset that's
not what a helpline is for
a helpline i don't know if people need to hear this or a helpline is not for
people being upset over a
presidential election that's not what it's for it's for people who have genuine
problems that are going to
jump off a bridge or take too many pills or uh end it with uh maybe a firearm i
don't know
that is who it's for it's not for you because you are upset about the outcome
of the presidential election
also when you see the helplines that people are sharing you can see why the
election went the way
it did because it's not one helpline why unite it's 17 helplines if you are a
bipoc person
call this if you are southeast asian and trans call that one if you are a quaker
call there's too much
going on with the helplines i don't understand they're like why did we lose why
did we lose anyway
here's 27 suicide hotlines that correspond to every single thing about yourself
if you are non-binary and
scottish call this line because they are well versed in the non-binary
community in scotland and
that so they can handle this do you understand how silly it all is how silly it
looks to people
and i know people are angry you can be angry you can be sad you can be mad
these are all emotions that
you can have and you can be fired up and that's all good these are all good
things these are all good
things i it is curious to post the hotline and then say you're at your breaking
point and then 13 minutes
i counted later post a tasting menu from a five-star restaurant that you were
attending for your
friend's birthday that is curious behavior um obviously the election happened
last week
um we don't have a result yet
we think trump won we don't know um
and people are mad and comedians are mad and comedians are mad and comedians
are mad because
donald trump and jd vance went on podcasts and had they not done that
had they not done that it may have been different this generational
rebuke of everything that the democratic party has stood for we're going to
blame losing the senate
the presidency and most likely the house we're going to blame that on four or
five
podcasters you get it people with podcasts that's they're they're the ones who
are at fault
everything went down in flames across the board donald trump won every swing
state and gained
with every demographic including latinos blacks across the board he did
incredibly well
kamala did not outdo biden in any of the states
most of the ballot measures
that were for example in california things like bringing back harsher penalties
for
looting a store
or
a flash mob running in
and grabbing stuff
most of those ballot measures passed
the liberal da george gascon in california
was replaced with a guy named nathan hodgman something like that he promised to
bring back stiffer penalties
for crime
people across the board
oakland
oakland
where people
are insane
there
recalled
i believe
i believe the mayor
they went more right wing
in oakland they went more right wing
and it's the fault of a few
podcasters
i i can't
i can't
that's the lesson to be learned here
every single thing
that you wanted to happen
did not happen
every single thing across the board
the people of oakland
the conservative
people of oakland
decided that they wanted to have a functioning society
that's what happened in the election by the way whether you like it or not
people decided they wanted a functioning society
they said i would like society to function
and
and for that you're saying they are racist nazis
and
uh they're dangerous
and
it's the fault of a few people with podcasts
now by the way
i want to send a message out there to comedians that are upset about this
you can also have a podcast
this is something that many people i guess are unaware of
you can also start a podcast
there is not one law
on the books
preventing you
from starting a podcast
and making it successful
you can do it
you are absolutely
within your rights
well within them
to start a podcast
and have it be very successful
and then bring on
any candidate you want
and talk with them
but the same reason
that many of you guys
don't have a podcast
is the same reason
that kamala harris
would not go on joe rogan
because kamala harris
was depending on the institutional media
to elevate her campaign
in the same way that many of you
have depended on the institutional
uh structures
within the entertainment business
to give you a career
so when everybody was going on the internet
and building podcasts
and making sketches
and being independent
and getting a fan base
many of you guys
were sitting there waiting
for your pilot
to get picked up
or to get a writing job
and you were
you were betting
on the institutions
the same institutions
who said
a couple of years later
they wanted to replace you
with ai
those guys
those institutions
and you wanted to make sure
that you didn't go on a podcast
and say anything offensive
because god forbid
somebody at one of those institutions
that you were all depending on
who now want to replace you with
ai
you wanted to make sure
that none of them were offended
not any of those executives
in their 10,000 square foot homes
in malibu
you did not want them
to see a tweet
or here's something
you said on a podcast
it was offensive
so you stayed away
from the internet
you huddled
and you hunkered down
and you said
fuck it
I'm waiting
for the good people
at Comcast
or wherever
to give me a job
and listen
cool
fine
but nobody prevented you
from having a podcast
nobody prevented you
from getting a fan base
on the internet
and certainly nobody
prevented you
from having Tim Walsh
or Kamala Harris
on that podcast
nobody prevented anybody
from going on any podcast
in fact
Kamala had a standing offer
to go on Joe Rogan
she would not show up
to Austin
and sit there for two hours
she wanted Joe Rogan
to fly to her
and sit there for 45 minutes
where she could give
tightly scripted answers
to questions
that he would
bring up
and Joe Rogan
who's a friend of mine
was not
trying to
do a gotcha thing
nobody did
none of the podcast interviews
with politicians
are gotcha interviews
that's not what a podcast is
a podcast is a conversation
between two people
you watch my interview
with J.D. Vance
you leave it going
oh I know what he believes
I have a good idea
of what he's putting forward
as his beliefs
and that's going to guide
and shape
the things he does
but
you know
it's not an interview
where you're trying
to embarrass somebody
or call them out
and that's not what Joe
was trying to do
with Kamala at all
he wanted to sit there
and talk with her
now the problem is
if you don't have
any deeply held beliefs
that might come out
over two hours
on the Joe Rogan experience
if you don't believe
in anything
except your own advancement
that might come out
in two hours
there was a reason
that her people
told her not
to do that interview
I don't know
what that reason is
but I can imagine
they said
we don't want you
sitting there
unscripted
for two hours
we don't know
what will happen
but nobody
prevented her
from doing it
this is her choice
that was the campaign's choice
in the same way
that every comedian
has a choice
to do something
online
or not
you can do
you don't have
to do a podcast
nobody's prevented
but I've never
looked at comedians
that disagree with me
and say that they are
less of a comic
or that they are dangerous
Mark Maron
had a show on Air America
for many years
he had one of the most
successful podcasts
in the world
and still does
I think he's a hilarious comedian
and I don't think
because me and him
would disagree on things
that he's less of a comedian
or less of a person
or whatever
you know
I don't
I don't
understand
where that
comes from
I don't
understand
where that
comes from
and this idea
of all these
podcasts
they're right wing
these podcasts
we came
through
a period
of time
where
the prevailing
wisdom
in the comedy
community
was that
people
that didn't
line up
100%
with the
ideology
that was
emanating
at that
you know
from
universities
or from
the larger
media institutions
and from
the entertainment
business
if you did not
line up
with that
ideology
100%
you paid
a price
for it
you paid
a financial
price
and a social
price
for it
and a lot
of the people
that were
unwilling
to line
up
with that
ideology
had to
be
on the
internet
there was
no other
choice
many of them
didn't get
work
many of them
were prevented
or the
things that they
could do
they didn't
have an
interest in
doing
because they
didn't want
to feel
that they
were being
controlled
or stymied
in any way
so they wanted
to be on
the internet
I'm one of
the people
that wanted
to be on
the internet
I enjoy
it
and I have
fun
and I talk
shit
and I say
what I want
and people
can like
it or not
like it
it doesn't
matter
but if you
take away
from this
historic
beating
this complete
you know
stunning
I thought
he would win
but not
in the way
that he won
like
like
if your
take away
here
is that
somehow
the rejection
of everything
that you
believe
is Theo
Von's fault
you're insane
and you'll
never win
anything ever
again
you
you have
to meet
people where
they are
you cannot
always drag
people to
you
everyone's
racist
everyone's
homophobic
everyone's
trans
everyone's
a misogynist
everyone hates
you
how do you
make it
through the
day
how do you
get up
every day
everyone's
hating you all
there's so much
energy
to hate you
everyone hates
you
and everybody's
trying to get
you and kill
you every
minute of the
day you're
getting coffee
and you gotta
look around
because they're
coming
it's deeply
paranoid to
believe that
people care
about you
that much
that they're
sitting around
their homes
hating you
trying to
kill you
or make
your life
harder
there are
certainly people
that don't
like you
or don't
agree with
you and
maybe don't
want you to
have certain
rights or
maybe they
don't want
you to
have a
platform and
this goes
every which
way and
there's people
that hate
everybody and
it's perfectly
legal in
America to
sit around in
your home not
liking other
people hating
them being
jealous of
them being
envious of
them wanting
them to be
less happy
less free
this is not a
new thing
but when you
talk about an
election you
have to provide
policies that
people actually
care about
and that you
cannot run a
campaign on
the word joy
when people
cannot afford
food you
cannot run a
campaign on
the word joy
when people
cannot afford
food do you
understand that
have you lost
your fucking
mind it
doesn't make
any goddamn
sense joyful
work is good
work and good
work is joyful
work and people
are going I
don't have
