477 - Back To Iran, Gaza Reborn, & A Happy New Year
65 min
•Jan 3, 20265 months agoSummary
Tim Dillon critiques the Trump administration's $112 billion 'Project Sunrise' plan to rebuild Gaza as a luxury smart city, arguing it's designed for international investors rather than displaced Palestinians. He also warns against military intervention in Iran, predicting it will bankrupt America, destabilize the region, and enable China to seize Taiwan while the U.S. is overextended.
Insights
- Geopolitical interventions are being justified through humanitarian rhetoric while serving corporate and investor interests, creating moral hazard for future conflicts
- The Gaza reconstruction plan prioritizes tech infrastructure and luxury development over housing solutions for 2 million displaced Palestinians, revealing underlying priorities
- Student loan debt garnishment combined with military recruitment creates economic coercion pushing young Americans toward military service in foreign conflicts
- Putin's personal animosity toward Zelensky may be a structural barrier to peace negotiations that diplomatic frameworks alone cannot overcome
- Overcommitment to Middle East conflicts creates strategic vulnerability, enabling rival powers like China to pursue territorial expansion without U.S. resistance

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan show. It is the first show of the new year, 2026. It's all new. It's new now. Netanyahu went to Marlago to try to get Trump to bomb my ran. It's all new. All the stories are new. We're turning over a new leaf. Netanyahu raised as possible round two strikes on Iran. New. Doesn't it feel new? Doesn't it feel like we've moved into a new era? It all feels new. Putin. Ukraine. New. Zelensky. New. It's all new. Putin. Not quite happy with the peace deal that has been proposed, which would give, which would leave the Ukraine intact as a state with a military and a defense capabilities and security guarantees from America and other western countries. Putin, not so much. Doesn't love that. Putin is basically going, hey, we want to kind of dismantle what's left of the Ukraine. There's been hundreds of thousands of casualties on the Russian side. More than Ukraine, it's been a prolonged bloody war, which up until recently we have not shown a huge interest in stopping. In the beginning, we were telling Zelensky don't negotiate and this thing spiraled out of control into a multi-year blood bath, where now we are now trying to do what we did knock on wood maybe in the Middle East, some type of peace deal. Well, I don't know what's going on in Gaza. Is it good? Is everything good now? It doesn't feel like everything is good. For my, you know, it doesn't feel like everything's good. Get up this smart city. The Jared Kushner is going to build over there. He's heavily involved in the smarts. Everybody's like Jared Kushner is such a great job with the peace deal and Whitcaw. He's done, he's done such a great job of the peace. That's what his interest is, peace and what a great job they've done bringing peace to the Middle East. Jared Kushner is out there just, he wants the best for those people in Gaza. Now, let's bring those renderings up. You know me, I like real estate. I love a rendering. Let's get that rendering up of a modern smart city like a futuristic, maybe a blend between Miami and the United States. And it has elements of Vegas, a lot of hotels. Let's look at what they're doing over there, what they hope to do. They hope to build this really advanced city and turn that, as Kushner said, incredibly valuable land over there into like a paradise where you can take a look at the city. Where you can go, you can go to a resort, you can go have a meeting with a tech company, if you'd like. You can have fun, you can do whatever you want, you can invest, you can go over there and get a condo by the beach. This is what they're trying to do. There it is, get that up. There it is. So this is the future of Gaza according to Kushner, Netanyahu Whitkaugh. This is the beautiful shining city on a hill that they want to be. Now, so here's my question. Who lives there? Is that being built for the people in Gaza? I think I think, you know, and again, I don't want to cast aspersions on people's motives or whatnot. But I'm thinking to myself, now I don't know, I have no inside info, but I'm looking at this and I'm thinking to myself, I don't think this is being built for the people in Gaza. I'm just throwing it out there. I know that maybe I'm wrong, I've been wrong before about many things. Dairy is bad for my skin. I've been wrong about a lot. This doesn't seem like this is being designed for the people that currently live in Gaza. It almost feels like you would have to move them out. And in order to build this, I mean, I don't know much about construction. I'm not that guy. I can't tell you how to build a home. I know a little bit. But I think in order to build this, you would have to get the people who live there to leave. And then there's no way you could build this if I ran the, you know, all the world's problems come from my ran, you know, all of your issues come from my ran. It's why you can't afford a house. It's why you don't have healthcare. I ran. It's because of Hezbollah in Lebanon or it's the Houthis in Yemen. These are all the groups that are preventing you from living the life you want. All those groups, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Al Shabab is back. Al Shabab from Somalia. We've resurrected Al Shabab is returned. There's a big scandal in, and I'm not saying that there isn't fraud. I'm sure there's fraud, but the money is going back to Al Shabab. So now Al Shabab is returned. And, you know, we've got the Houthis and we've got Hezbollah and Israel's basically saying the Trump, we got to go back into Iran. And we got to decapitate the Iranian regime, which there's a lot of protests right now happening in Iran. People are taking to the streets. They're protesting in Trump. Basically has said if you start killing the protesters, well, this is Donald Trump's tweet. If Iran shots, I think he meant shoots, but whatever. If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We're locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, here's the other thing. He's threatened to kill protesters in our country. I mean, we have the National Guard in cities. He basically has basically said if you start protesting in a way we don't like, we might, we might kill you. So now I'm against riots. I'm obviously all that's crazy, but like he literally is concerned with the protesters in Iran. This is the concern. The concern is the safety of the protesters who are in Iran. It seems weird, but whatever, whatever. You know, it's an odd, it's a tweet, a truth social, whatever you call it, a truth when he's doing stuff on truth social. He's true thing. It feels like they're about to go to war. It feels like we're on the eve of a war where he goes, Hey man, if I ran, harms a hair on the head of one of those protesters. We're going to come to their rescue and coming to their rescue means we're going to decapitate the Iranian government and then the fun begins. And now Israel is going to build this beautiful city and they're basically like, Well, listen, we can't build this city if we have Iran backing all these proxies, right? We can't do that. We're not going to build this beautiful city for the Palestinians. Remember, it's all for them. We're not going to build a futuristic, a futuristic tech hub for the young boys and girls of Palestine without knowing that Iran could send proxies over and ruin it. So for the people of Gaza, for the good of the people of Gaza, we must decapitate the regime in Iran so that we can safely build a futuristic tech hub for the children of Gaza. You're welcome children of Gaza. In order to give the children of Gaza a futuristic tech hub, the ones we didn't kill, the ones that are left, limbs, they may not have all their limbs. And their parents might be dead, but when they see this futuristic tech hub, they are going to love it. These buildings of steel and glass, the most modern architecture. I mean all of these buildings, climate control, biometric identification. I mean, it's going to be big. And the kids of Gaza are going to look at this city and go, you know what? My mother starved to death in front of me, but I'll tell you this. That's a beautiful fucking bridge. That is a beautiful bridge. Trump administration reps have just revealed a grandios, 112 billion dollar plan to rebuild war torn Gaza into a futuristic international destination dubbed Project Sunrise. It's a new day. It's a new year. What did I tell you? Project sunrise. Isn't it nice? And the people from Gaza, now this will probably take, you know, this is going to happen. And phase is it's going to be decades long thing, but you know, eventually the kids from Gaza are going to be so impressed by this city that it's going to be an international destination. An international destination, the 10 year development plan, which is pretty ambitious when you look at what they want to do, but you know what? They've cleared a lot. They've already done the clearing. They've already done the clearing. A big part of construction is doing the clearing. They've done it. 10 year development plan drafted by Jared Kushner, US special envoy Steve Whitkopf, who was a real estate guy before he got into this. And the two top White House aides and two top White House aides is currently courting investor countries with a 32 slide PowerPoint presentation detailing the bold plan to renovate burning rubble into beach resorts. I mean, can you imagine they go and they do the plan? They go, thank you, everyone, for coming to the investor presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We really appreciate you guys coming. We have an opportunity for you opportunity. We are presenting you with a unique one time chance to be on the ground floor of a massive redevelopment in Gaza. That's right. Gaza, that one, the same one, the one you've all read about and saw on the news. Gaza is not going to be what you remember it. We're going to see luxury hotels, high speed rail, AI optimize smart grid features that revolutionize the Mediterranean coastline into a bustling metropolis. And you could be involved. You could be involved. Here's a quote. Gaza's destruction has been profound, but we believe what lies ahead is not just restoration. It's a chance to develop a gateway of prosperity in the Middle East with state of the art infrastructure, urban design and technology. Wow, this is the executive summary of one of the slides. Gaza's destruction has been profound. So you know when they say that everyone in the room kind of nods. By the way, what an interesting word to use profound. It's been profound. What an interesting word, not tragic, not terrible, not regrettable even profound. Gaza's destruction has been profound. What an odd way to say it. And then all of the investors in the room, they nod because you know there's got you got to have that solemn nod. That's solemn nod before you start licking your chops and getting really excited about all the opportunities that are going to arise. You know. Gaza's just we know Gaza's destruction. It has been profound. But what we are seeing now is not just restoration. We're seeing luxury. Lux the opposite of death is luxury. Listen to me. The opposite of death is luxury. It is a life forever. It is an AI driven city, a smart city which washes the blood away with AI smart grid features. You will forget these people ever left here. No more olive oil. We're going high tech. Reimagining Gaza as a smart city with tech driven governance and services tech driven governance and services and it's coming to a theater near you. By the way, tech driven governance tech driven governance. Sounds lovely. Doesn't it? Modern telecom and satellite solutions for enhanced connectivity. Secure digital identity and trust frameworks. This is part of their core infrastructure package. By the way, I want you to picture this. They're in a hotel and there's a bunch of people sitting around the room. They're drinking coffee and water and they have folders. The folders have been handed out by an expressionless woman was handing the folders out to all of the different billionaires in the room, sent to millionaires, people that run real estate investment trusts and whatnot, hoteliers, restaurant tours, imagine a carbon in Gaza. It's spicy rigatoni in Gaza. So they're all there. Now they won't admit to being there. They are all there. I'm telling you and they're all jumping at the bit to get involved. So the woman, the expressionless woman hands out the folders. Now by the way, there is the sticky issue of the genocide. It is the genocide is not like it happened 20 years ago. It's really fresh. The wound is open. So they've got to just kind of they've got a kind of massage that they got a kind of they do a little nod to it. They go, Gaza's destruction has been profound. You know these things happen. These things happen. Let's not focus on the past. Go up. That is great. That quote will get to that in a minute. But go up for a minute here. I want to I want to I want to I want to be in the room with them and they're looking at the folder and now there's a PowerPoint presentation that is being given by somebody. Every new development hires a team. Maybe it's Kushner. I don't know. I don't think it is. But maybe not. But they have a sales guy. A guy who is basically his job is to walk you through the reimagined Gaza and you're in a hotel room and you're drinking coffee and you might be taking notes. You're nodding and they go shared digital platforms. Common services for data exchange payments signatures and notification. Who smart city services prioritize digital platforms and services across urban management utilities mobility and community support governance chief digital office and an innovation lab. To define standards and guide policy making chief digital office and an innovation lab to define standards and guide policy making. That's why he had a big meeting with Elon Musk. This is why Elon Musk went over there and he goes, hey, baby cakes. We're doing AI smart city, AI governance, AI security. Everybody's on the grid digital police state. How's it looking and people like Musk are going to be very, very involved in the creation of this. They are going to be the tech overlords that work with people in the US government, the Israeli government, assorted billionaires from around the globe to create a new world. So I'm going to create this now go down to what you were showing me because I thought that was a funny sentence is from an article in the New York Post. Though the plan mapped out distinct phases of construction, it did not it did not provide details for housing the two million Palestinians who would be displaced during the mass of construction necessary. Ha, odd that wasn't a slide that wasn't a slide in the presentation. There's an estimated 68 million tons of rubble. 68 million tons of rubble in Gaza after thousands of Israeli air strike levels cities during the two year war. US officials who have acknowledged the proposal are skeptical that it will come to fruition because a condition would be Hamas agreeing to disarm. Whitkov meanwhile met Saturday in Miami with high level delegations from Egypt, Turkey and Qatar to discuss implementation for the second phase of the Gaza Cs. Firepoint. It's going to happen. What they are describing here in some in some form is going to happen. The plan is not to put the people in Gaza into rebuild Gaza for them. That's not the plan. The plan is to have exactly this, a luxury, you know, international travel destination. That is the plan. The plan is not, you know, and that, you know, that thorny issue might come up at that meeting, probably not because you know, everyone sitting in the hotel, they all know they're getting a presentation. Like, you know, they used to sell and they still do time shares in America. What a time sure met was like you could buy a share of a vacation home that you and your family could use a few weeks or months out of the year. And the way they would hook you into this is they would go, we'll give you a free vacation. But you have to listen to the time share presentation. And basically what they're doing here is you're going come to our presentation. We know, we're not going to leak your names. We know you might not want to be there on the record. We know it's bad taste. But we got ideas. We got red rings. We got a new development. We're going to make this city into something special and we all want you there. Netanyahu, Musk, discuss future of AI in Israel and conference call. Netanyahu, when you learn, Musk, discuss advancing AI and autonomous vehicle cooperation in a call confirmed by the PM, the Prime Minister's office days after Musk drew criticism for a viral X post about choose and whiteness. X is a show. The, you know, people are just tweeting things or whatever. We're, we're, who's made, where's the money? Where's the actual money? The money is in making sure you are exporting AI technology to Israel. You know, X, you could say whatever you want on X. But the actual deals are going to be in. And I think Qatar is going to play this like buffer role because Qatar is throwing a bunch of money around. Qatar wants to be involved. Israel's not going anywhere. And Iran is the one that has to go in the minds of the people that are trying to make this project a reality. They want the government of Iran, which again, I don't hold water for the government of Iran. I don't care. I feel bad for people who live in Iran who are being oppressed. Like I feel bad for people that live in countries all over the world whose governments are oppressing them. Now, do I think it's a good idea to engage in a large scale decapitation of the Iranian regime like a massive bombing campaign and then potentially boots on the ground in Iran? Absolutely not. I think it will be a disaster. It'll bankrupt America and it will cause terrorism all over the world. And it will be one of the main drivers of instability and terrorism and it will suck money out of our country. It will be good for Israel and it will be good for that AI smart city that they want to build. And it might be good for the guys that are getting the contracts to rebuild that city because they'll feel safer. But if you are an average American who's maybe not at that conference in the hotel with getting the slideshow, if you don't happen to be there, there's no way this is good for you. There's no way that a land war in Iran or even an intensive bombing campaign. There's very few credible people that believe that you can go in and put a puppet government into Iran that has Israeli fingerprints on it and US fingerprints on it and that it would have legitimacy to many factions of the Iranian people. Very few credible people believe that. But you can cause a lot of chaos trying you can upset. Can we look at some of the Iranian protests? Can we see what's going on? Let's get some videos up of the people in Iran. I don't know what they're doing. I mean, I know they're protesting the economic conditions. We should do that. We're protesting all of these different things in Iran and Trump is very worried about this people protesting in Iran. And if they are hurt, if they are hurt, it will be reason enough to go in and come to the rescue of the people of Iran. But not the people in the United States who cannot afford anything and whose lives are getting more difficult every single day, their rescue is being delayed. But I guess once we rescue the protesters in Iran and once we build the AI smart city in Gaza and then after the White House ballroom and a few other projects, then as well, whatever, once all of that's done, we'll get to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, upstate New York. We'll get to all of those places after we've saved the protesters in Iran. And I don't want to be accused because you know, I'm in Beverly Hills a lot. There's a lot of Iranians here that came over after the after the shot, after the fall of the shot. And they tell me I've had the government of Iran is and I absolutely agree with them. I go, yeah, I don't want to live under a theocratic regime in Iran. But we've seen this movie. We know what happens when America gets involved. And by the way, a little foreshadowing, nothing great. All right, let's watch this a little bit. Can I hear that through this? Overinflation, eroding living standards in Iran, causing protests. Gunshots and unrest were reported in multiple cities nationwide. So now this is a country with 90 million people. I don't know what percentage of the population this is. I don't know how widespread these things are. I'm not saying they're not. I just don't know. We're also being fed. Now listen, I'm not saying the Iranian regime is good and the people are unhappy with them. But I want you to think about before every war that we've ever gone into, we are fed a media diet of people supposedly about to organically rise up and overthrow their government. This is before every war. Before every war, they go look at these people. They've been living under hellish conditions and they're ready to get rid of the government. And you're at work and you're in the break room and you're eating a turkey on wheat. And because it's early January and you're trying to do the right thing, whatever that means. And you're eating your turkey on wheat and maybe your a gym teacher. You're a good person and you're looking at the TV and they're playing people in Iran throwing a Molotov cocktails or you know burning cars and you go those people have had enough. They've had enough living under tyranny. You're sitting in a in a in the break room. You're sitting in the teachers lounge in like, you know, I don't know Iowa. And you're like, these people have had enough. They've suffered long enough. And then you're like, and then the government goes, by the way, we're going to go rescue those people. And you go awesome. Now what rescuing means is a lot of those people are going to die. So that's what rescuing me. That's number one. That's number one. And maybe it's worth it. I don't know. But number one, rescuing in American terms. Let's bring out the dictionary. Rescuing means bombing people and a lot of them are going to die. So that's the rescue rescuing in our country. We don't know how to rescue anyone unless we kill them. We only know how to rescue you if we're killing you. It's the only way we've ever tried to rescue anyone. And eventually people go, I'm getting tired of being rescued. They just rescued my mother in front of me. And there's blood all over the living room. So what we do is we go over there and we do the rescuing. So much rescuing. And we end up killing a lot of the people that we happen to rescue. Well, then people start to go, you know, this rescue doesn't feel too great. And they don't, they, none of these people that are protesting, by the way, I don't think a lot of them. Maybe there's a small percentage of them that want this. But I don't think a lot of these people are clamoring for the United States in Israel to install a government here. I don't think a lot of people in Iran are clamoring for the United States and Israel to install a government. So Trump said we're locked and loaded and ready to go shortly after Ali Laranjani, a former parliament speaker who serves as a secretary of Iran Supreme National Security Council alleged on the social media platform X that Israel and the US were stoking the demonstrations. I don't believe it for a minute. He offered no evidence to support the allegation, which Iranian officials have repeatedly made during the years of protests, sweeping country. By the way, there was an Iranian woman who was walking around without a hit job and they and they put her in jail or they, it was something it was an acid attack or a kill there. I don't know. And there were real protests. And I get it. I don't want to live in an Islamic theocracy. And yeah, the protests now in their six day have become the biggest and I ran since 2022 in the death of 22 year old Maha Amini and police custody, trigger nationwide demonstrations. However, the demonstrations have yet to be country wide and have not been as intense. So when that girl was killed, I remember there were demonstrations of Beverly Hills. And I get it. Listen, I get it. I don't want to live in an Islamic theocracy at all on any level. So I completely understand why people who do live in one do not want to live in one. And in fact, want the government who's using a perverted sense of religion to go around and and essentially be a fascist government. And kill people. I completely understand why people in Iran would not want to live under that government. How many of those people want to live in a US Israel puppet government? I don't know. And what do you do with the ones that don't want to live under a US Israel puppet government? Because there's like 90 million people in the country. What do you do with that country when you knock out the leaders? What exactly do you do? How does this work? How do you play? By the way, everyone in our country hates each other. The two opposing factions in our government hate each other. Okay. And we're a pretty fucking advanced superpower. And it's not working. It's not working here. You know, it's very difficult to imagine how you would go to Iran and install an effective government. When we barely have one here, it's barely working here. So what exactly would you do when I ran? And again, ears are open. I'm not trying to shut down anybody. Say, enthusiasm about this project that was hatched at the New Year's Eve party in Palm Beach. The New Year's Eve party in Palm Beach. Okay. Where this was hatched. I know it's been hatched before that. But like, you know, I'm not trying to dampen anyone's enthusiasm for this. I'm sure it's a great idea. Because these ideas always seem great because here's here's here's the bottom line. The bottom line is this. The Iranian government is bad. And you go, yeah. And I see these people on social media and the people I like, I don't dislike these people. And they're going, I want to visit Iran. And I can't. And I'm Iranian. And I can't go back to visit Iran because the government sucks. And I go, I feel bad. I'm sorry to hear that. That is unfortunate. And I'm, I'm sorry. And then they go. The government is illegitimate. And you go, okay. All right. I mean, it is a government. I agree with you. It's not ideal by any means. Okay. And we need to and and and we need the Iranian people deserve to live in a free, open and prosperous society. I agree with that in theory. In theory, in principle, I'm allowed to agree with you in theory and principle. If someone came up to me and says, I deserve to be rich and hot. And if a family that loves me, I would go to that person, I go, I agree with you in theory. How are we getting there? How are we getting there? This is what no one ever asks. How are we forget the pie in the sky? The series and all of that. How are we getting here? How are we getting to rich, hot family that loves you? Not, I'm not against that. I don't think you find many people that were against the goal. What are we doing to get there? I don't, I don't know what we're doing. It's a country of 90 million people. And I don't think a lot of them are really excited about a puppet government led by the United States in Israel. Or some of them are some of them go, well, it's better than what we have now. I ran, warned all US bases and forces in the entire region will be legitimate targets after Trump vowed to protect anti regime protestors. So here's what's going to happen. This spirals into World War three. For us, because if we get bogged down in Iran, China's taken Taiwan. There's no way China's not taken Taiwan if we're bogged down in Iran. Why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't they? They're taking it if we're busy in Iran, China's going, guess what? We're taking Taiwan. And then this is going to kick off some type of China's Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping, friend of the show, issues unstoppable Taiwan invasion threat as World War three fears. All you need is a few things to pop off and China will go grab Taiwan. While we're in Iran, installing a government that hopefully 90 million people in Iran think is swell. Hopefully 90 million people in Iran think it's great. And all the influencers in America who can no longer go back to Iran, hopefully they are now free to travel. So in order to make influencers in America happy that want to go back to Iran, we engage in a full scale invasion of Iran boots on the ground to capitation of the regime, a multi year rebuilding process where our troops are sitting docs for terrorists and other remnants of the regime that splinter off, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, China goes and takes Taiwan and Russia goes and swallows Ukraine while we're doing this. By the way, most likely result, maybe not could be wrong. Could be wrong about that, but it doesn't sound crazy. Does it sound wild? Here's the thing. All these influencers want to go back to Iran. You know, we have mountains here. I ran an L.A. kind of looks similar. Google I ran Google Tehran hit image Google L.A. hit image. I'm going to solve the problem right now. I'm going to solve it right now. Try to find Tehran city view. Yeah. Okay. There you go. Make that big. I want everyone to look at this. All these influencers who want to go home. Take a look. Take a look. There's Tehran. Pretty. Get L.A. up. It image. This is how we can do it. Very easy. Go to the first picture on the left. There it is. You did it. Your home. Your home. You did it. You're all here anyway. There's a lot of people that live in L.A. from Iran. So how about we do that? And by the way, L.A. If you don't know, isn't thriving. L.A. isn't thriving. So we have people here that live in Los Angeles, a city that is doing by any stretch of the imagination terribly. It's doing really bad. And they're going, wouldn't it be nice if I could go back to Iran? And I could travel freely in Iran without any problems. Well, a lot of people feel that about L.A. Wouldn't it be nice to live in a house that wasn't invaded by criminals? Wouldn't it be nice to live in a state that knew what to do when we had natural disasters? Wouldn't it be nice to live in a state where homeless people didn't shoot up fentanyl and die in front of my children as I walked them to school? That's more of a pressing issue than what's going on in Tehran. Now, maybe it's my fault that I don't think about the political conditions in Tehran more. This is probably something I should be doing. It makes me a heartless psychopath to not think about the political situation in Tehran. Can you get Netanyahu on Iran? By the way, can we get a little video Benjamin Netanyahu discussing what's going to go on in Iran? And now you're going to see all of the people that switched after Trump, if he does this, if he goes into Iran, it goes into Iran and we get bogged down or mired down or whatever it is. If we end up doing this, all of the forces and the people that told him to do this will quietly reinvent themselves as Democrats. Once they have destroyed the brand of the Republican party, which is exactly what happened after George W Bush and the Republican party was completely destroyed. A lot of those people reinvented themselves as Democrats and said, we're actually going to support Hillary Clinton because her brand is not tarnished as much and she loves war. And then they went and they said, well, she lost. We're going to get in with Donald Trump. And then when Trump's brand was damaged, a lot of them switched over to Biden. And now they're back with Trump. And a lot of these people will then go to another candidate. It doesn't matter. As long as they have their objectives met. I love this. Americans who are defaulted on their student loans will have their paychecks garnished starting in January. So people who have defaulted on their student loans, people who have not paid their student loans back. Starting January 7th, let's watch this starting January 7th. The fun is over. If you have defaulted on your student loan, the Trump administration will begin to garnish your pay starting next month. That's right. According to the Department of Education, starting the week of January 7th, borrowers into fault will get a notice of their status. They'll be given 30 days before payment is withheld. They didn't say how much would be deducted from their paychecks. Sally Mays, no joke. Sally May, no joke. They will come and go and you cannot get those loans washed in a bankruptcy. They will follow you to the end of your life that shitty job you have. It's going to get shittier. You're going to make even less money. And you're going to remember college. I hope you had fun. I hope to God you had fun at college. I hope you fucked a lot. I hope you made a lot of lifelong friends. I hope it was a ball. I hope every day was an unending orgasmic life changing experience because you are about to pay for that for the rest of your life. That's the way the American economy is set up now. You go to college, you have four years of fun. Hopefully and you pay for it for the rest of your life. The rest of your days on earth that you draw breath wherever you go, McDonald's doesn't matter. You are in McDonald's handing a mcgrittle to someone in the morning rush whose pissed they're taking that money from you. There's no job you can escape. You can't escape it unless you go totally off the grid, black market, salad drugs are putting your pussy on the street. There is no way you can escape. Sally Mae they're going to dig and dig and they're going to take it. So I hope and pray that you had a good time. Let's keep watching this. According to the government student aid website up to 15% of an employee's pay can be taken out and withheld. Right now about five million borrowers are in default and millions more expected to miss payments. So we got five million people in this country that are about to default on their student loans and their wages are about to be garnished now by the way. They they they they they prop they're not paying their student loans because their job doesn't pay them enough money and with the cost of living. Most of them are probably not getting off on on saying fuck you to Sally Mae they don't have the money nobody wants their credit ruined and their wages garnished their fought. They're completely fucked. Those people need to join the military and fight Iran. Sorry, that's what it is. You need to join the military and fight Iran. That's what has to happen now. I hope you had a good four years when you're in Iran and you are fighting the revolutionary guard as a way to get out of your student loans and you're in the hot desert climate and you're sweating and you're standing there and you're next to your buddies from basic training and you're about to ambush a bunch of Iranian national coaches. You've gotten intelligence. You know exactly where they are and you're about to ambush them and you're about to start killing people in a foreign country in a horrible climate. I hope you had fun. I hope you look back on your time at Ohio State and say it was all worth it. It was all worth it. When you are getting off a military plane in Iran to go provide security for the rebuilding of the great Iranian regime that we have knocked out and you are standing there and you are shot by some Iranian separatists one of the revolutionary guards who's peeled off and started their own thing. They got their own thing going now and they see the chaos as an opportunity and they pump a bullet in you and it's in your neck and you then collapse and you realize that this is over. You realize that no matter what happens in the next minute or two of your life. You know, because you think your your mind starts playing games. You're like maybe I survived this like maybe the neck maybe it didn't get me in such a bad place. Something whatever you know your mind plays tricks at the end it happens. So you you you you go and you're you're you're you're collapsed on the ground now and you're bleeding and your blood is leaking into the sand. I hope the last thought you have. I hope the last thought you have is homecoming. I hope the last thought you have is that homecoming game in Ohio State when your parents came up and they were so proud of you. I hope it was go back eyes, but guys right maybe is that it yeah, well whatever, but that's the whole point and when you got some graders ice cream with that girl and she gave you a blowjob. I hope as you're laying in the hot Iranian sand and the blood is draining from your body. Because you joined the military to somehow get out of these student loans. I hope you think it's worth it because meanwhile going to college now you better have a fucking plan when you're in college you better know what you're going to do. Because they're going to find you they're going to come and find you now with these student loans. So the ends of the earth and the only way to get out of this is going to be able to is going to join some fucking domestic group like ice we just snatch it up a granny or you're going to have to join the military and you're going to go to Iran and you're going to rescue the Iranian protesters. And I hope I hope you I hope you realize that those are the stakes now of college those are the stakes of college by the way your entire life you're going to be destitute and broke because you went to college for four years and you took out student loans and the job market is terrible. So you're going to have to either start going on only fans and getting getting into shit fetish porn or you're going to have to die in Iran. And that's that's really what it is you're going to have to lay under a glass table while men take shits and put it out on only fans or you're going to have to go to Iran and get killed. I don't know what else to tell you if you go to college without a plan you better graduate with a fucking skill you better graduate with your parents should make you watch shit fetish videos on only fan because you're not going to be hot enough to do rent. And you're going to have to go deep and dark and your parents should see you in a room ago before you go to a onionta I want you to just understand what the stakes are and they're going to put a video of a woman under glass table and then a guy's got or a man is under a glass table jerking off and your as the woman is going to have to squat over the glass table and take a shit while the man is jerking off. And you're going to say and you're going to you're going to go why are you making me watch this and you're going to turn around as a good parent is what a good parent's doing you're going to go. You are going to be doing that if you do not make good use of these four years do you understand that. You're going to be doing that that's going to be your job you're going to be doing that for living if you do not make good use of these four years because you will never get out of debt never. And then you should bring your son in the room and turn that off and then show him a P a POW prisoner of war being tortured. Being tortured I mean bad bad like the worst dark web torture video you can find and when he's like yo why are you showing me this you go that's going to be you if you don't make good use of these four years you're going to be tortured and your sister is going to be doing a shit fetish porn because you didn't fucking listen to me I'm telling you. Putin claims Ukraine hit his private residence is this a lie is Putin lying or is he being truthful. So hard to know with him Ukraine and Zelensky have denied it Ukraine and Zelensky have denied it well they would and I'm not backing boots can we so okay there can be no forgiveness it is in fact insane the question whether this terrorist act took place at all. That was a feverish feverish message from Moscow on Tuesday as it doubled down on accusing Ukraine of targeting a presidential palace with drones in a bid to disrupt peace talks. Keeve has dismissed the allegation as a basis lie aimed at building a pretext for the Kremlin to push ahead for this war Russia has presented no public evidence for its claim and the timing was not lost on observers in Keeve in Europe following the positive mood of President Donald Trump's weekend summit with voldemir Zelensky Ukrainian president well here's a deal. Putin might be fibbing he might be telling a fib. Foreign Minister Stragulavra financed late Monday that 91 drones had been intercepted on their way to Putin's residence on the shore of Lake Valdai in the northern Novgorod region. He appeared to contradict earlier statements from Russia defense ministry which normally tell is Ukrainian strikes that have become a daily reality so I don't know listen. This is now the he said she said portion of the war. This is now this is become have you ever had two friends argue and what starts as kind of a. Principal disagreement about something or other descends into ad hominem attacks. That's what this is become this is really just become. Um, an ad hominem kind of it's kind of in the gutter the discourse over here is in the gutter Putin orders fresh invasion land grab in Ukraine sees more territory in 2026 in brazen snub of Trump piece bed. I mean this thing's just to generate it and these men Vladimir Putin Zelensky Trump they're just not getting the job done. This is very difficult and you know this idea that you can just wave a not Iran that one will be easy and that's 90 million people that they'll that'll be fine. But this one seems hard. It seems really hard. It seems difficult. This guy Putin is really he's like here's what needs to happen and by the I'm going to say something now and no one's going to like it. Here's what I'm going to say. Here's what I'm going to say and this is very obvious. I can't even I'm going to say it. I'm going to say what needs to happen. No one's going to like it. I hate being right. I hate being right. And I don't want this to happen. Can I speak here for a minute with everyone privately can we have a private discussion. We have a private discussion. They have to kill Zelensky. They have to kill him. Putin will not stop unless Zelensky is dead. This is obvious. Zelensky needs to give his life first country. He needs to be killed. If he is not dead this war will not end. I believe that to be the case. I could be completely wrong. I'm sorry about it. I don't want Zelensky to die. I'm not on Putin's quote on quote side. I'm telling you real politic looking at this. In a in a in a in a in a in a in a in a in a in a in a in a completely I'm free to look at it and tell you what's going on. If Zelensky is not taken out. I don't think I think it's personal for Putin. I think the drone attacks that you crane. I'm sure with our help successfully pulled off where those drones. It was a brilliant mission. We're in the those little sheds. Remember that and the tops came off and they took out listen. This is now become personal for Putin. And I believe if the load of mirrors of Lensky is still alive or at the very least running that country. I just don't believe this is ever going to work. So I'm not I don't want this to happen. I'm not saying. This is going to happen. But I'm saying if Zelensky is still running the show there. It feels personal. That Putin is is not going to come to the table. I just I believe there's too much bad blood. I believe and I think that either Zelensky needs to step down or if Putin were to eliminate Zelensky. Then I think you would maybe have some chance of peace. I don't think with Zelensky at the helm. This will work. Do I sound crazy? I don't think so. Yeah. I mean, I employ you. So I don't know. I mean that I could it might not. I'm just saying I I this is the way I feel. I feel this is very personal for Vladie daddy. And I think that in in the parlance of like a reality show a real housewife type thing. You know, I think Putin just feels that he cannot have a good faith negotiation with Zelensky. Yeah, freezing Moscow plunged into darkness as hundreds of thousands lose power following Ukraine. I really want the war to end. I think wars terrible. I think the people that are suffering on both sides. It's it's incredibly. It's incredibly horrific to watch it. But I do think that Zelensky, you know, is probably for Putin. This has become deeply personal. Putin's legacy hinges on this. Now, by the way, early on when nobody wanted this, you know, when people looked at this and went when you get him so dug deep in where he's lost hundreds of thousands of people and he has to say face in front of the oligarchs that run the country and his population of people. When you've lost that many people and you've suffered some suffered some humiliating setbacks inside of Russia. The war has gone inside of Russia. Again, I'm not speaking of the morality of any of this. I'm telling you what is what is happening. Putin does not feel that he has to come to the table with a peace deal designed by the United States and global partners. Whatever that means. Putin feels that he is into deep now to get out with anything other than a total victory. This is just the reality in its tragic. It's sad. It's why when things like this happen. You have to try to force a negotiation very quickly with some type of land deal that may or may not hold. But you don't tell the Ukraine to engage in a full-scale war and arm them and fund them killing so many people. Now that it's this in the idea of any peace right now seems now it could happen. But it seems incredibly unlikely because both sides are dug in so much. But specifically Putin is dug in to a point where I don't think he wants to get out with anything other than major, major concessions from the Ukraine. That they're unwilling to give. This is why you don't get involved in these things. By the way, this is why you try to not get involved. You try to force diplomatic solutions. You try to force. This is why you don't get involved in these things because they don't end well. Because hundreds of thousands of people start dying. Things don't end well. People get emotional, which is why installing a new government in Iran is not a good idea. Because immediately lots and lots of people all over the world are going to start dying. And when that starts happening, things take on a life of their own. And you'll see China, I think, take Taiwan. That seems to be an inevitability within a few years. Everyone says, well, China, you know, they think if they've fired a shot, they've lost the battle. They fight through their mind. They fight through corporate espionage, they fight through tech, they fight through. Let's hope. That's how they're fighting. Okay. But no matter what happens, no matter what happens, when Sally May has chased you to every shitty job that you've ever had and you look at your paycheck and you've made $460 after taxes, after the garnishment. And you're living in a fucking weekly motel in Vegas and it's hot. You're going to say to yourself, you're going to walk out of that Vegas heat and go, I might as well be in this heat with a gun in Iran. That's the fucking point. Good night.
