Leave It Online | The Tim Dillon Show #382

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show.
So excited to perform at Royal Albert Hall in London.
This is a iconic venue.
This is one of the big ones.
Very, very excited there.
Tickets are on sale right now.
Promo code FAKEBIZ.
F-A-K-E-B-I-Z.
If you are in the market for tickets for that show, it'll be great.
I'm really excited about that.
There's some tickets that end up being reserved for the aristocracy,
the lords and ladies and people that, when they built that venue,
they said, we're taking some tickets and we are keeping them for people
that are higher, highborn, highborn.
They have that in England.
They have class and that's okay.
And that's okay.
Nobody's offended by it.
Nobody screams and yells about it.
Well, people do, but it doesn't matter.
They still do what they're going to do.
So if you are one of those lords or ladies and you have a reserve ticket,
then, you know, have no fear.
But for everyone else, you should go and buy it.
You should go and buy a ticket to the show.
It'll be very exciting.
Other dates in Europe I'm doing at venues that are not as impressive
in countries that have less money but are still important are Manchester,
which is the north of, you know, northern UK, northern England,
which we love.
We love the people there.
Belfast.
I don't know what venue I'm doing in Belfast.
I imagine a grocery store or something.
I don't even know what's happening.
I imagine there's a site of a bombing.
I'll be there.
Belfast, which is in northern Ireland, but it's good now.
Glasgow in Scotland, a very fun city.
City of the future, they say, Glasgow.
Very gray.
And I remember when me and Sam Talent, who I'll be returning with,
had dinner there at an Italian restaurant.
It was the worst Italian restaurant we had ever been to in our entire lives.
And everybody told us this was the spot to go.
And it was indescribable, the horror that had befallen us that evening.
And everyone around us was so happy and thrilled to be there.
And they were enjoying it.
And it was unfortunate to be the, you know, and we didn't want to let on how
bad it was.
We didn't want to convince, you know what I mean?
Like, why ruin the time of everyone else who was just, but I mean, God, was it
terrible.
I won't say the name.
Shugo, I think.
Look it up in the Glasgow.
See if it's still there.
Shugo in Glasgow.
Is it still there?
Yeah, there it is.
Get a Google image on that.
Shugo.
And I don't want to hurt anyone's business.
I'm telling you right now, this place was terrible.
Who's that guy they like over there?
Gordon Ramsey?
He would have went in this place and he would have went in there with Hamas.
But we're excited to be back in Belfast, in Glasgow.
First time we're going to be in Copenhagen, in Stockholm, in Helsinki.
Dublin, we're coming back to Dublin.
That's the European run.
That's the European run.
That's the European run.
And we're excited about that.
Everybody very upset about the death of Alexei Navalny, who is a popular
reality TV star in Russia.
A winner of the amazing race in Russia, died sadly.
Very upset.
People do not like that.
He was a cast member on Big Brother, the Russian Big Brother.
Alexei Navalny, the Russian Big Brother, died in it.
What they do in this season of Big Brother is they put them all in a prison,
the Arctic Wolf prison in Siberia.
And then they see who turns on each other.
You know what Big Brother is.
And it was Alexei Navalny and Caitlyn Jenner had gone over to do it this year.
And sadly, Alexei Navalny died.
We're obviously joking.
He was an opposition leader in Russia.
We don't know what that means.
There doesn't seem to be a ton of opposition in Russia to Putin.
I'm sure there is some.
I'm sure there is some.
But Alexei Navalny was poisoned, they're saying.
And his widow, Julia?
Is that her name?
Yeah, it's Julia.
Julia?
His widow, Julia, is saying, I'm going to continue his work.
And our country is beside ourself with this.
This is cannot go unpunished, this type of treatment of a political, you know
what I mean?
Of a political prisoner cannot go unpunished.
This is something that the United States would never do.
You know, we would never engage in this.
We would never punish somebody for leaking uncomfortable things about the
government.
This is just something we don't do.
People say to me all the time, they're like, you know, this moral equivalence,
like, you know,
it can feel like Barry Weiss the other day, who I know listens to this, on her
outlet,
the Free Press, that blog she runs.
She came over to my house once, and she's like, oh, my God, I can't believe you
can afford this.
It's like, Barry, I don't have a blog.
You know what I mean?
Like, I love her, but what are we?
So, Barry Weiss, they're all over there being like, it's getting confusing, and
Sam Harris,
all these guys are, they're all like, there's some moral confusion out there.
People don't know who the good guys and the bad guys are, and we gotta, we
gotta make sure
everybody knows who the good guys and the bad guys are, so I'm not confused at
all, at all.
I know that we, the United States government, would never, ever, ever, ever
prosecute or persecute
anyone who leaked uncomfortable information about things that we've done,
because that's what
Navalny was doing.
You know, he was talking about corruption in Russia, and, you know, he's flying
drones over
the houses of people like Dmitry Medvedev, I don't know how to, but he was
showing all
the oligarchs and all their mansions and Putin's palace and Dmitry Medvedev's
palace, and he
was going out and saying, look, look at all these people that are charged with
running the
state, and yet they are corrupt, and they have enriched themselves with your
money, and
they've built all of these palaces, and that's what he did, and he would fly
drones, and
you know, people, in America, we have that, it's called Selling Sunset, we do
that too,
it's a reality show, we think it's good, we think it's great, we think it's
good, we enjoy that
every week, and he was doing that in Russia, and the American government is
very upset that he was
punished for that, which is, you know, he's a ballsy guy, and it was very sad,
and we would
never, we would not do this at all to anyone, we would never do this, we have
to say that,
Barry's right, Sam Harris is right, they're all right, they are right, we would
never, ever
hold, make sure, there would never be a guy stuck in an embassy for years, and
then transferred to a
maximum security prison, there would never, it would never happen in this, not
in this, not in my
country, oh, say can, never, it would never would happen, there would never be
a guy stuck in an
embassy where the police were sitting right outside, if he even opened the door
to get a breath of fresh
chair, and somehow stumbled out, there would never be a guy who was denied a
safe passage to an airport,
there would never, ever, ever, ever, ever be a guy who was transferred to a
high maximum security prison
where the six guests to his wedding were denied entry into the prison, there
would never be that,
never, I don't think so, I don't think so, so I am horrified at the treatment
of Alexei Navalny,
I am horrified at a government that would punish somebody for leaking
information about that
government, and I'm very happy to live in a country where that has never, to my
knowledge,
happened, not once, it's never even happened one time, thank God, because that'd
be awkward if that
happened, that'd be real weird, that would be odd if that happened, but it is
not, thank God,
thank God it has not happened because it would be real weird to do that, and
then also be, be, you know,
like, aghast at this murder of Alexei Navalny, which I'm, I, it's probably a
murder, I don't know,
but I imagine it's a murder, you know, I don't know what happened to that WikiFeet
guy, remember the guy
who did WikiFeet? I forget, remember the guy who published the foot pictures of
John Podesta and Hillary
Clinton, remember that? Something happened to him, the guy, he was a journalist
and he got information from
this, um, this, um, uh, uh, military, I forget what rank, uh, uh, Chelsea Manning,
I forget what rank
Chelsea Manning was in the military, probably not high, high enough, um, it was
a private, well, Chelsea
Manning gave the guy who ran WikiFeet, um, information, leaked information
about things that
the American government was doing in Iraq, the military. This included, like,
targeting civilians
from a helicopter, we, like, shooting civilians, we weren't supposed to be
doing that in Iraq and
Afghanistan, we weren't supposed to be shooting civilians from a helicopter,
but, you know, that's
sometimes the price of freedom is shooting civilians from helicopters. So
Chelsea Manning gave, uh, this
guy, uh, who led, uh, the WikiFeet, uh, webpage, some of this information, some
of the information that
this Wiki, uh, WikiLeaks, we'll say the real name, um, some of this information
that this guy leaked was
not only American abuses, it was Guantanamo Bay, how many people had been
abused, tortured, and killed
at Guantanamo Bay. It was that Hillary Clinton had made $675,000 for a speech,
uh, that Goldman Sachs
gave her where she said she wanted, uh, open borders, and she wanted free trade,
and all of the things that
she was saying in her campaign she didn't want. Um, they also leaked Vault 7
from the CIA, which said
that the CIA was focused on remote hacking of cars and smartphones, Michael
Hastings, among, uh, among
other things. They also talked about this Pied Piper strategy the Clinton
campaign was doing, where they
were using their contacts in the media to elevate the more extremist Republican
candidates, so it made
Hillary seem more moderate by comparison. Um, this was all stuff that came out,
and, and Julian Assange
has been, of course, uh, for the last, I believe, 10 years, probably more, he's
been destroyed mentally
and physically in front of our eyes, and nobody really talks about it. Nobody
cares.
Nobody cares. You will see more posts about, uh, Lexi Navalny in the last 48
hours, and you will
see about Julian Assange, and this guy, they're reviving the espionage act to
charge him with,
and they, they thought about pursuing this during Obama's term. They didn't,
even though Obama was
very tough, uh, uh, towards whistleblowers. During Trump's term, they got the
Democrats ravenous
because, uh, the WikiLeaks, um, cables were cited as one of the reasons that
Hillary Clinton lost the
election. So now the Democrats are like, get him! So now you have the
Republicans and the Democrats
reviving a hundred-year-old, nobody's been charged with the espionage act in
over a hundred years,
and he's been held in a high-security prison in southeast London since 2019.
Before that,
he was at the Ecuadorian embassy. So the guy has been in solitary, his health
has deteriorated,
uh, members of his family that have seen him, his wife, uh, Chris Hedges, a
journalist
who's friends with him. They've all basically said that you can see him being
killed in front of,
uh, everybody. You can see him being killed. Um, but again, what happened to
Navalny is, is bad.
This is, uh, it's unforgivable, to be honest. What happened to Alexi Navalny is
unforgivable,
and someone must pay for that, for that one. Someone must pay, uh, for what has
happened to Navalny.
Someone must pay because, uh, you know, that's, that's the one that offends me.
I'm offended by that. Uh, Julian Assange, you know, hey, he got what's coming
to him. He got what's
coming. But this, Navalny was a freedom fighter. Julian Assange was just
leaking things the
government didn't want you to know, but Navalny was a freedom fighter. He was
fighting for freedom,
for the freedom of Russia, which as an American is the most important thing to
me,
is the freedom of Russia. So anyone who's fighting for the freedom of Russia,
to me,
automatically is, in my mind, is a hero. And, uh, you know, I mean, anybody
leaking what the CIA does
is a p
