•Jul 26, 20259 months agoSummary
Tim Dillon discusses geopolitical crises including Gaza famine, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and U.S. foreign policy, interspersed with commentary on Brigitte Macron controversy, declining youth happiness metrics, and socioeconomic factors driving radicalization among young Americans.
Insights
- Material economic hardship and perceived government corruption are primary drivers of radicalization, not merely exposure to extremist content or ideology
- Conflating legitimate policy criticism with hate speech creates information voids that radicalize populations by making them distrust all institutional narratives
- Wealth inequality and unequal enforcement of laws (billionaires vs. working class) generates political instability and extremism across the ideological spectrum
- Youth unhappiness correlates with loss of faith in national institutions and future prospects, not mental health awareness alone
- Selective enforcement of immigration law while ignoring wealthy employers of undocumented workers signals hypocrisy that undermines policy legitimacy
Trends
Declining happiness and trust in government among Western youth under 30, with U.S. dropping out of top 20 happiest countriesRadicalization pathways driven by economic precarity rather than purely ideological factorsGeopolitical policy criticism increasingly conflated with hate speech, limiting public discourseGrowing skepticism of mainstream narratives across political spectrum due to perceived institutional dishonestySelective enforcement of laws creating perception of two-tiered justice systemYouth economic anxiety: housing unaffordability, job scarcity, and student debt driving political disengagementWeaponization of anti-hate speech legislation to suppress legitimate policy debateInternational aid prioritization over domestic infrastructure and social services

Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more. So if you wanna be smart with your wallet, your career choices, in meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. Earlier this week, 30-year-old teenagers and elk boys received a massive amount of backlash for their interview with Benjamin Netanyahu. And although Netanyahu is widely reviled, he does maintain some support with people across the world and even a few people in Gaza. So here to comment is Nassab from Gaza who is a big supporter of Netanyahu. Yes, thank you for having me. Thank you for coming on Nassab. So now tell us your story. What's happening in Gaza and why do you support Benjamin Netanyahu? Yes, Tim. So you know, like many people in Gaza, I had every reason to hate Israel. Shortly after October 7th, my family was sheltering under a donkey and Hamas decided to dig a tunnel under the donkey and use the donkey as a human shield, taking out not only my family, but my head and arms and torso. And I put that blame on these barbarians that make up Hamas because Israel is very good and merciful. And right before they bomb our donkey, they send out a text and they say, we are going to bomb your donkey in 20 seconds. But unfortunately, I forgot to charge my phone. Well, I mean, that's Nassab. I'm sorry to hear that. But what about now? There are reports from over 100 human rights organizations that Israel is orchestrating a famine in the Gaza Strip. Tim, that is simply also not true. Israelis send all kinds of wonderful, Israeli cuisine together, pita bread, hummus, falafel, and baba ganoush. And Hamas is stealing the food. Do you know what is true about Hamas? All of their wives and girlfriends are obese. They are chubby chasers. They are- Hold on, now I have a little trouble. This is, I'm a little trouble believing that. What about the baby food? Are they stealing the baby food? Yes, Tim, this is what is sick about these monsters in Hamas. They pretend that they are babies. So under the tunnels, they steal the baby food and the baby formula and they dress up like babies and they drink formula from bottles and they wear diaper and they make their plus size women change their diaper. These are very sick people. And when they have to just ask for food, they say, we do not know what are you talking about? We are just little babies. You will have to ask my parents. Well, I had, Nassab, I had no idea that this was happening, that Hamas were pretending to be babies and stealing the food. It's actually amazing. Are there a lot of Palestinians who agree with you? Well, Tim, you also probably do not know this, but Palestinian is not real people. Did you know? Yes, sir, out of that, he was from Egypt. That's why when you think about it, it's okay to kill us and even put us in an oven. And you might not know this, but many Arabs, they actually enjoy being killed. The Quran says they will go to heaven. So that is why they love being shot and drowned and burned and crushed by rabble. I just don't, I can't know, I can't co-sign that. I can't really agree that that sounds really, really insane. That it sounds like Israeli propaganda. It seems crazy. And what about the anti-Semitism in on the college campuses and in New York City? You are about to elect a terrorist for your mayor. Yes, but it just feels, it's so surprising. And you feel this way because you are a leg. You're just a leg. I mean, they've taken everything from you. I mean, you're just a leg, but you're still supportive of this. I guess I just really like the techno music and everything that come out of that beautiful country. All right, no ab everyone. That's from Gaza. Supports Netanyahu. I want to talk about a few things Netanyahu on the Nelk podcast. Brave of him. Brave to sit down like that, truly brave. And to express opinions like that. Take a look here, Netanyahu on the Nelk podcast. By the way, saying something I said on RU Garbage months ago, but whatever Netanyahu. What's your go-to about McDonald's? No, I'll take Burger King. We did the double, you know, the- Wobbier? I haven't ripped Burger King in a long time. Burger King kind of sucks. Yeah, the BK lounge can hit you. I disagree completely. You like Burger King over McDonald's? That's your worst take, I think. Absolutely. That's a crazy take from my line. No, that was fine. I mean, I like Burger King. The answer is yes. Here's the thing about it's tough. Obviously I am a human and want to live, but our civilization does really deserve to be destroyed. Like that is the hard. That is the really tough thing about it all is that if there was ever a civilization that deserved a cataclysmic, and again, not rooting for it, don't want it to happen. Don't want it to happen. But just statistically, I mean, could there be a better example? I mean, we just do, I mean, this guy is committing a genocide. Truly, I mean, I don't think anyone's even, I don't think anyone's even denying that at this point. People like quibbling about certain components of it. Like I know that like people are like, well, yes, they're starving Gaza, but did you see that video of that guy from Hamas stealing a banana? Did you see that? There's a guy from Hamas eating a banana. And people are like, well, he stole the banana from the people. And they're like, Hamas is stealing the food. In this whole thing, Israel has no culpability, by the way, at all. They've actually done nothing wrong. It's all been Hamas. Hamas has done everything. There's not been what they stole the food. They're shooting the people who were in line for the food. Israel's doing nothing. And you have to trust Israel because otherwise the only people that are reporting out of Gaza, that they're not letting journalists in, are they just say, are Hamas? So if you report anything contrary to what Israel says, you are Hamas or you become Hamas. So I mean, I just, you know, I mean, the starvation, the photos of the starving. Number one, we're the fattest country in the world. For the fattest country in the world to fund the starvation of a group of people is insane. Look at this. Here we go. This is the thing they keep showing is that Hamas has bananas. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they got bananas. This is the, when I ask why we're funding, why we're starving people, we're funding a famine. People say to me, well, maybe take a look at that video of the guy in Hamas with the grapes. The guy in Hamas with the grapes. And you go, we're the fattest country in the world. Okay? Nobody is fatter than us. We are now funding the starvation of a group of people halfway across the world or all the way across the world. I'm bad with geography, but far away. And if you bring it up, or if you chat about it, or if you talk about it, you're immediately called anti-Semitic or whatever. And it's completely absurd and insane. And this is nuts. Get up, Randy Fine. Get a photo of Randy Fine. This is the guy who literally said starve away. He said something like release the hostages, which again, the children of Gaza did not abduct the hostages and cannot release them. Randy Fine, genius. Randy Fine, no, get a fat picture of my producer. Don't get a picture of when he was thin. You're gonna treat Randy Fine like that? Go get a photo of me when I was eight then, by the way. Get Randy Fine. Get a fat Randy Fine. Randy Fine literally said starve away. This guy is out there telling the Gazans to starve while looking like he's like full of fucking marshmallow fluff. It's the cruelest thing to just have a fatty boom baddie telling the beat. Get that quote up. Where he says starve away. There's a quote where Randy Fine, who was a congressman from Florida, who has a lot of the rhetoric of like the Smote Rich and Ben Gavir and these crazy far right, Likud psychopaths in the Israeli government, calling these kids in Gaza, Amalek and the children of the devil or whatever. Randy Fine has basically, I believe, said as you look up starve away, that's what he wrote. That goes with the quotes. He said, tell your fellow Muslim terrorist to release the hostages and surrender until then hashtag starve away. Randy Fine. I mean, there he is. It's crazy that we are providing the material support to Israel to continually engage in this kind of barbarism. We have to cut all funding. We should. We should absolutely cut all funding to Israel immediately. Cut all funding. Oh, the 100%. I don't know why that's even controversial at this point. This is going to be, this is like the worst humanitarian crisis we see at witnessing unfolding. It's crazy. For the fattest country in the world to be involved in the starvation of people is insane. It's nuts. And there are people defending this, getting DoorDash. They're getting full meals. They will deliver a seafood tower to you on DoorDash broken up in ice. I'm not going to tell you how I know, but in ice they will deliver shellfish on ice to you. DoorDash will deliver that. And you get it at your front door. You get a lobster at your front door and eat it. And then defend how children in Gaza are, and I mean, you can see these photos. I don't want to show them on the show, but they're so disturbing. And it's like, it's crazy. Even some of the way the magazines are reporting it, like one of them was like, well, they're not dead. They're like half alive, half dead, and they're wandering around like ghosts. Like I was like, what is this? I mean, it's incredibly, it's incredibly disturbing to watch. What will the next phase be? I mean, I don't understand. Like what will Israel do next to them? Like will it start to melt them? Like will it use some type of like device to start melting the people of Gaza? And then will people start defending that? I go, well, these are at least sausages. Until then, hashtag melt away. And you go, wait a minute, hold on, but you're melting people. Yeah, well, so what? October 7th. Yeah, yeah, but they're children. They're women. They're not, they didn't do that. Melt away. So what? They're gonna melt. I mean, what Stephen King horror movie penalty will be enough at this point. We have now crossed the line. Like I said, final destination a couple of weeks ago, we're like even, we're past that. Those deaths were quick. We're like fully into like some crazy long thing. It's completely barbaric. And we should just stop the money. Take all that money that we're funding Israel with and give it to Candace Owens so she can fight her lawsuit against Brigitte, Macron and Emmanuel Macron. And here's what I'm saying. Show the pus, show the pus, show the clit. And I'm not trying to be a problem. And you know I never am. Show the pus, show the clit. I'm not saying she was born a man. I don't know. There's a very easy way to put this to bed. Number one, have Brigitte Macron go on the Nelk podcast and have her show the clit to, what are their names? Kyle and Steiny. Have her show the clit, take the pussy out on the Nelk podcast. Brigitte Macron, put your bush in Kyle from Nelk's face. And let's get justice. How about justice? Even people starving in Gaza wanna know this. Even the starving children in Gaza wanna see, where is the clit? Let's play a little bit of Candace, you're responding to this lawsuit from Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron. You were born a man and you will die a man. That's the point I'm making. So give us a second. By the way, I wish my father said that to me at like any point in my life. I wish I had that kind of support in my own household. You were born a man, you're a goddamn man. What? We have Candace O'odh here, she's being sued by Brigitte Macron who's the first lady of France. And Candace has said Brigitte was born a gentleman. And now I have challenged Brigitte to go on the Nelk Boys podcast and show her clit. And let's do this thing. And the war in Gaza, show your bush. Show your clit to the Nelk Boys, you're the first lady of France. If you're afraid to show your pussy to Stiney from Nelk, then you don't get to be the first lady of France, you don't get to be it. Show your pussy to Joe Rogan in his studio, fly to Austin and open your, spread your legs for Joe Rogan. Hey, mom, that's weird, mom. Well, it could definitely be worked on, mom. It could, well, it's a pussy, mom. It could definitely be, oh, 100%. It could absolutely have been altered. Yeah, well, for sure. I saw her pussy, mom. Show your pussy to Joe Rogan in Austin, Texas and go see a show at the mothership. Show the clit. Just do it, end the speculation, show the gash. This is politics. It's the news and this is what has to happen. We gotta move on as a society from this war in Gaza and from this, stop starving the children in Gaza. Show your clit to Joe Rogan, go on Kill Tony. I'm the president of France's wife and they say I got a cock but I got a clit, boom. Red Band does a sound effect. Make the podcast rounds and show everyone your pussy, please. Put your pussy in a cosh and Andrew Schultz's face. Schultz is like, damn. Get your pussy on flagrant, end this. Show your pussy to Theo Vaughn. Let Theo Vaughn see your French pussy and let him decide if it was at one point a small cock. That's what we have to figure out. Was her penis inverted and made into a pussy? This is politics. What are tariffs? We don't even know. Put your pussy on the internet. Let's watch, keep watching this, sorry. So give us a sample, I'll send my doctors to take your blood, figure it out real quick. However you wanna go about this. How about just giving us some pictures again of you growing up, raising your children. That would be fine. For whatever reason to phone, by the way. Like I said, we'll get to the bottom of it. That is what discovery is for. Gonna ask a lot of questions. You're probably hoping, oh, this will go away and at least we'll see. So here's what Candice's thing is that Brigitte was born something else. She got, I think she stole the identity of her dead brother or something like that and MK Ultra, that program that the CIA used, which was a mind control program. Cause I listened to this a while ago and it is interesting. At the Beverly Hills Hotel, there's a French guy and I spoke to him about this. And he did say to me, Macron, there is something, that's not French. What is French? Oui, oui, Macron is, what is French? Et je regarde le produit. Et Macron, he liked the boys at the hotel. And then I said, I spoke about you on my show because I know you made the me a famous. You made the me a famous on your show. But what he was saying was that it was kind of known in France a little bit, that something was up with this. Maybe, maybe not. And then I've had people call me go, conspiracy, this is nuts. Who knows? It's not gonna make any sense until you show Joe Rogan your pussy. That's the way we decide things in them, in these parts. Hi, this is Alex Kanstruitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a long time reporter and an on air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more.

So the MK Ultra thing, which was like a CAI Mind Control Candace says, are there all of these weird links to like MK Ultra Mind Control and that Macron was like some weird Venturian candidate? Now Macron's a weird guy. Let's look at, Macron is now saying he's gonna bring in refugees from Gaza but let's take a look at what's really going on. It feels weird. Macron, if you can get that up, has just said, hey, I am going to accept refugees from Gaza and he said, hey, this is what's gonna happen and everybody is going, well, isn't that nice that Macron is going to accept all of these refugees from Gaza but what it really is is a relocation campaign to take people from Gaza and put them in France so that Israel can build whatever the hell they're gonna build in Gaza. So everyone's like, isn't it so nice? Look at France stepping up. And then, so people are saying this, like, and then there's some people that are not dumb and they go, well, this seems like a relocation plan to put people that lived in Gaza in France and so that Israel is just now controlled demolition all these buildings in Gaza and they're gonna build whatever they're gonna build. Now Macron goes, well, now I'll take some of the heat off myself by going, hey, listen, we're recognizing a Palestinian state. Now Israel is like pretending to be mad at this but this is a completely ceremonial thing because they just destroyed Gaza, it's over. What state could there, what are we talking about? Like everyone's like, Macron is, I can't believe he's recognizing a Palestinian state. What is, what? They destroyed the whole thing, it's spittereens. The thing is good done. It's the most, it's like a lot of the people coming out now and going, this seems a bit much with the starving. This seems a bit, you know, I've talked about it on the Patreon or whatever. A lot of celebrities now are coming out and going, I cannot believe. And they're so dramatic and they're like, what is happening? You know, they're all like half singing all the time. But it's like, well, there's no political risk in saying anything now. This guy's recognizing a Palestinian state after it's literally been destroyed. It's literally like destroyed. It's like the funniest thing in the world. It's literally been destroyed. What if, hold on, hold on one second. What if just Lane Maxwell's like, Brigitte Macron is a man. What if that's the info? She brings, she's like, I'll tell you one thing right away. I'll tell you one thing first and foremost, Brigitte Macron is a cook. I knew it and although it's known as Scott Cook. So here's our president on the Palestinian question. This is Macron, the Palestinian state issue that Donald Trump has asked about. And this is his response. Oh, good. I'm gonna ask for productive for France to say that they would recognize the Palestinian state. Macron said that yet. Look, he's a different kind of a guy. He's okay. He's a team player pretty much. But here's the good news. What he says doesn't matter. It's not gonna change it. So how could he, how could he not? Well, he made a statement, France, Macron. I guess we'll find out with all the just Lane Maxwell testimony and discovery. Maybe we'll find out why we have such a unwavering commitment to the Israeli project. Right now, perhaps, by the way. But it's insane the level of, supposedly Trump admonishes Netanyahu behind the scenes or whatever, but everything we do, we just kind of support this country, this new anti-Semitism thing, which seems crazy. This law that is kind of being proposed here, and I'll actually send this to you, where it's like, hey, people are basically trying to equate, again, any criticism with anything that Israel wants to do with anti-Semitism. And this is like, they're trying to enshrine all of this into law, and I just texted you. But this is becoming like so insanely obvious to everybody who's watching this going, wait a minute, hold on, this doesn't make any sense. Jewish people are noticing this. People that live in Israel, Netanyahu's extending this war and the longer he extends it, he's not in jail, he's not facing charges. It's obvious in the Ukraine what Zelensky is doing. He's extending the war. Now articles are coming out about how shady they are, how much money they're stealing in the Ukraine, how they're not trying any way to have peace. So here we go. Let's just take a look at this here. Social media companies release detailed public reports of violations of their terms of service and to outline how they're addressing these violations, which includes the use of their platforms by terrorist groups. Every day companies still report this information, it will result in a $5 million fine. Social media companies can no longer hide the crimes and take place on their platforms, especially when they pose a threat to America's national security. And we're very proud of this bill as the backing of the Anti-Deformation League. Freak. I saw the anti-semitism for the first time when I was 15 years old. I had good parents who taught me it was wrong, and but it left a lasting impression on seeing my first incident as a teenager. And if you're on my social media, you see it every day from people that are responding back with what I consider clearly anti-semitic kind of messages on social media. I even saw an article today, it was about me, it was about we have a pose, Congressmen who are prosinists, right? And you're like, in other words, it's all over our social media and it's unacceptable. And while I saw the protests out here the last two days, they were vile, right? They were, you can see the anti-semitism in their comments and how they were treating some of our members of Congress who are Jewish. I saw that first, yeah, it's unacceptable. And so we want to be in a country that makes clear that anti-semitism or any kind of racism is repugnant, unacceptable, not allowed in my space. And we just, zero tolerance for it. And people should feel like they're scorned first having these ideas and espousing these ideals. And we need to work with our social media companies to clean this up because what is going on is wrong. And I think it's further influencing other young, people that weren't to be influenced by what they're saying that's more that this is an acceptable behavior than it is not. So we need to hold these companies accountable and work with them to take it all. Okay, we get what they're doing here. We get what they're doing. Yeah, I mean, drawing a line around anyism is always a problem saying that like, what constant, no, there's obviously very obvious examples of anti-semitism. We know that. There's obvious examples of racism. There are obvious examples of whatever you wanna say, transphobia, homophobia, people hate trans people, hate gay people, don't like Jewish people, don't like black people, hate them, whatever. But then there are also discussions about things, policies, positions, political statements. All of these things need to happen in a free society. And some of the people that engage in those discussions are going to be anti-semitic, or they're going to say things in a way that's not elegant, and they're not articulate, or they're just not good at having debates. Some of those people are going to be trolls. Some of those people are going to be trying to be funny. Some of those people are trying to be ironic. Some of those people hate everyone, and are genuine Nazis, right? Free speech is not for a bunch of people that you like and agree with and think are good all the time. Free speech has to be for everybody. And the way that you create a political space, and I believe in this project, that where you don't have extremism, and you don't have neo-Nazis running around, and you don't have racism, you don't have all this craziness happening, the way that you create that political space is by trying to create a political culture where people can debate ideas, where people can be proven wrong, and where people can exist without feeling that they're somehow being silenced, or that there's forbidden information that they can't have, and they're in the dark, and then the space in which all that information exists, they're filling that void with whatever kind of ideas they want because they don't have the actual ones. You need to have an open space for dialogue and for debate. That's the only way to have certain ideas take prominence. The idea of owning a house, for example, everyone wants to own a house, that's a good idea. Ownership is a good idea. No matter how many people come in and tell you to rent or how more, you know, Julie and Michael's the fitness trainer who's at Turning Point USA, she's like, no, you should actually rent an income producing property, and then years later you get rich, and then years later after that, whatever, are there economic realities that she's talking about? Sure, but most people want to own a fucking house. That's an American idea. It's an idea that people believe in. No matter how many people tell you that renting is better, or living in a smart city where everything's 15 minutes away and you never have to cut the grass, or no matter who tells you that, it's a better idea to own a house. It's an American idea. You shouldn't be afraid of people who tell you that the real thing is renting, or the real thing is like, you know, using Uber and not owning a car, and the real thing is those are the better ways to do it. There are huge campaigns, by the way, put together by those companies that make, just live in Airbnb's, just take Uber, is just the gig economy, you'll own nothing and be happy. There's lots of money that's been put behind those ideas, but the idea of ownership is still an idea in America that's incredibly popular. I believe that the idea of like a live and let live society where you're not socially engineering other people is very popular in America from the people that I talk to. Maybe not to maniacs online, maybe not to people, you know, on the dark web, or people wherever, but most people in America don't want social engineering. They don't want their children to be engineered. They do not want propaganda being delivered to them from the government. They just want a space where they can be happy, have necessities, have healthcare, compete with other people, follow whatever their life goal is and have their journey. That to me is the goal of the entire country is to just have that. So I think in order to do that, so again, I don't think that media evil anti-Semitism is ever going to be really popular in America. I don't think genetic determinism is going to be popular saying to people, you're black, you can't compete. The IQ stuff, the shape of skulls, races, like to me, yes, there's people online for sure, where that's a big deal, but for the vast majority of people, they're just trying to survive. They're trying to figure out how to pay their rent. They're trying to figure things out. So I think that like when you create a political culture, in order to prevent it from sliding, going off the rails into extremism, you cannot for the last 30, 50 years, immiserate people and make their lives materially worse where they can't redo their bathroom. They can't get a knee operation. Their car breaks, they can't get to work. They're fucked. All of these people become radicalized because the material conditions of their life are much worse. That's obvious. Most of these people become, I was broke for years. The reason I didn't become like a psycho radicals that was doing comedy, I loved comedy, I loved the group of people I was with, we had a goal and we were all doing it. We all kind of understood that part of it was being broke and part of it was not having a ton of assurances that we were just out there taking risks. But there's a lot of people that because their lives are going down the drain, start embracing pathologies. And when you tell people that like the Epstein files don't exist or that questioning Israel makes them anti-Semitic or that they should be funding a genocide and then a starvation campaign, it drives people insane. It makes them actually crazy as it would. So now the material conditions of their life are worse. Everything's a lie. People know it's a lie. The Ukraine war, remember that? I mean, they're stealing everything. Article after article is how much you're stealing over there and there's no money to fix the roads in upstate New York or Pennsylvania or Detroit or Michigan and fuck you. And when Mark Andreessen comes out and says, hey, the only jobs left are gonna be venture capitalists after AI takes over and sorry, that's just the way it is. And again, I think these ice raids are barbaric, but you do need to figure out a way to worry about American people. I don't think you should be deporting six-year-olds, throwing them in handcuffs or people here that are here that have been here for a while. They're roots in a community, they're doing a job. I think all of that is gonna make the pendulum swing again to where no one cares and everybody's coming in, but you need to worry about America as a country and say, why is everything so fucked? And it's not one, we should be going after billionaires. Where is the E-Verify shit? Why aren't we going after people that employ illegal immigrants? Is it because they're all Trump's friends? Why aren't we going after the guys like Steve Wynn and all these hotel magnets that employ all these people and choose not to pay American wages? Why aren't we doing that? So this is what drives people insane and it drives them crazy to the left, to the right, wherever. They go, why am I watching some ice show up at a graduation but there's a billionaire on a private jet who employs illegal immigrants who's not being arrested or detained or questioned, why is that happening? This is what drives people insane. And then they go on the internet and they get radicalized. So if you want people to stop being radicalized, it's not about banning things and burning books and the right wing does it too, although some of the books are a little crazy, but a gay character in a book and the right wing runs and bans it because they're afraid their kids are gonna become gay. You know, I understand when you're in fourth grade, but if you're in high school, you can handle a book with a gay character. But some of the books are like, you know, I don't know, some of them are a little crazy. Like some of the, I've looked at some of the books, like I've looked them up and I'm like, wait a minute, why are we doing this? You know what I mean? Like some of the books are like, it's like Charlotte's web, but it has, there's a vibrator in it. It's like, you know what I mean? Like Charlotte teaches herself about self-pleasure. That I don't think is great. But if you want the recipe for radicalization, which is seemingly what everybody's looking for right now, they're going, what is the recipe for radicalization? Why are certain people off the deep end? Why do people believe the world is flat or that space is completely fake? Why do some people believe Tom Hanks is a clone? You know, it's because the lies have gotten so verbose and people are now starting to go, wait a minute, what is real? What the hell's going on? So you can't make an entire population poor, poison their food, stress them out to the point where they're their anxiety written. Ready to launch your business?

I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast wherever you get your podcasts. I mean, they just did a study, look this up. The world happiness report, which by the way is my favorite thing in the world, the world happiness report, is finds that young people in, you know, Western countries are unhappy. And they're much less happy than they were like 15 years ago. Young people aren't as happy. And people are wondering why that is. Like why are young people not as happy as they were? Is it technology? Is it social media? Here we are, young people in the West becoming unhappier. People are unhappy and some people go, well, it's because now there are terms for mental health and we're talking more about mental health. And in my comedy special, I talk a little bit about that. That yes, people are more conscious of their mental health now than they've ever been in the past. And some of that's good. Some of that seems a little, you know, it's a little suspect. There's a lot of people that seem to be cynically using their mental health. Here we go. Average happiness of young people is on the decline across the West. The shift has driven the US out of the top 20 happiest countries overall for the first time since reporting began. Lithuania took the top spot for young people while it's under 30 population rating. Lithuania took the top spot for young, but the happiest people are in Lithuania, by the way. Part of why this is, okay, is that young people now are looking at the world and going, is the country going to exist in 20 years? Are we going to have a, and by the way, not because of a foreign threat, not because we're going to be invaded, not because we're going to be nuked, but they're going, is the country going to exist, or are internal forces pulling the country apart? And are those people, the young people in this study, the lower happiness reported by the younger under 30 in the United States and Canada is linked with lower levels of satisfaction and social support, lower satisfaction with living conditions, greater stress and anxiety, lower trust in government, and higher perceptions in corruption. Because people are looking around going, is this country even going to exist? It doesn't seem like it's going to exist. It seems to be way too corrupt to exist in 20 years. So what do you do? What, wait a minute, by the way, most happy places for people to live under 30, number one, Lithuania, number two, Israel. Maybe there's something to that ethno-state concept, but what I'm saying here is that like, everyone's running around now going, how do we prevent people from being radicalized and becoming schizophrenic, which I think is a good goal, but I think that part of that really has to look at the entire picture of what's going on right now. Younger people are sitting there wondering, does Brigitte have a cock? Will I afford a house? Is there a job for me? And there isn't. They're not, and she does. Those are the answers to those questions, but there not, is a country being run by pedophiles? Yes, does Brigitte have a cock? Most likely, am I going to afford a house? Not nearly. Do I have, what kind of job am I gonna get? Nothing! Do you know what young people do now? If you're a young person, this is what you do. You graduate school. Let's give you a name. Let's give you a name. Your name, I'm gonna give you a male and a woman. Sorry, non-binary's, I'm just gonna do a male and a woman right now, okay? The male's name is Brett. His name is Brett, B-R-E-T-T Brett. He is a 22-year-old male. And then, Caroline. Caroline is a 22-year-old female, okay? This is what happens to Caroline and Brett. Caroline went to NYU. She has a smarty pants. She's smart. Caroline grew up in Rhode Island, and her parents were together, and she's got a lovely home life, and she has a nice older brother, but he ended up on drugs, and he's just doing the best he can. But Caroline went to NYU, and she went to the Stern School of Business, because she's gonna take over the world, and she loves all the female founders, and she listens to fucking motivational speeches from that bitch who founded Bumble, Whitney, fucking whatever wolf herd, and all these other people, and she's a badass finance bitch, and her pet causes are women's literacy in the third world. She wants women in the third world to know more about money, and that's what she does, and her name is Caroline. And she moves from Rhode Island, and she goes to NYU, and she likes NYU, and she's very liberal, and all of her friends are very rich, and she thinks Trump is gross, and always has, and she's in love with a French guy, but he doesn't really love her, and it's whatever Caroline, okay? Brett grew up in a suburb outside of Chicago, okay? Brett's father killed himself because he had undiagnosed mental illness. It was very difficult. He shot himself in their garage, and Brett found him, and half of his face was blown off, and Brett called the police, but he knew it was no use, because half of his father's face is in the middle of a fight, and half of his face is in the garage. Brett's mother died of cancer early on, okay? So Brett was living with his father who killed himself. Now he's 17 years old, so he's right on the ledge of, he's gonna be emancipated. He doesn't need a parent, okay? Now he doesn't get any real money from his father's health with his life insurance. His dad didn't have it, life insurance, okay? And they were renting. Here's the good news for Brett. Brett writes a great college essay, and it's called, I found my father's body in the garage, and half of his head was gone. And so the people at the college admissions office, because Brett is an A-minus student, he's pretty fucking good, okay? And he's on the baseball team. He's not the star, but he's on it. And he writes an essay, I love baseball, and I love playing baseball. It takes my mind off the time I found my father's body in the garage with half of his face gone. So Brett goes to Northwestern, pretty good school, and he plays baseball, okay? And his father's dead, okay? Carolyn's a discerned school of business. She wants women in Afghanistan to learn about, you know, Bitcoin. Brett's at Northwestern, trying to get over the trauma of his father, who has sacrificed on the altar of globalization, and Reagan letting all the mental hospitals out, and no healthcare and whatever, okay? His father was also abusing pharmaceutical drugs, and whatever, it just is what it is. He was also a drunk. So Brett's at Northwestern, and Carolyn's in NYU. Now, Caroline and Brett never should have met, but Brett was traveling to New York City to see a friend he grew up with who was attending PACE, a much less reputable school. In fact, it's a piece of shit. It's a prison, but that's where retards go. And Brett knew a lot of retards growing up in his town. So he goes to visit his buddy, and his buddy goes, sometimes you go to these like, cool bars with really hot chicks, and they're all super rich, and it's not like they'll ever go out with us, but I fucked them out last month. And Brett's like, we're going. So they go to this bar. I don't know, I haven't been to bars in years. I don't know what they call it. They call it, it's called, the bar is just called, Jew. Jew. It's a Japanese name. Now, Brett is in this bar called Jew, and he meets Caroline, who is a finance major in the Stern School of Business. She's graduating next year, and he's going to graduate next year too. Brett, of course, has majored in education, because maybe he'll be a gym teacher, because he actually thinks it would be cool if he could help kids who had found their dead father in their garage, get over it by connecting them to team sports, which he feels is one of the only reasons he hasn't killed himself. Okay? Caroline is outside, and Brett steps out. Brett's not a smoker, it never has been, but everyone's smoking and looks cool. So Brett decides to smoke a cigarette, and Caroline's outside, and they start chatting, where are you from, this, that, and the other thing. One thing leads to the next, okay? They end up going to the next bar, they end up going home together and hooking up. This is very rare. Brett's not a Casanova, it doesn't happen all the time. Neither is Caroline, okay? But they decide they're gonna get married. They're gonna make a go of this, okay? After several months of dating, long distance, Brett decides he's gonna move to New York, because Caroline seems to be on some better financial footing, okay? So he moves to New York, and Caroline and him start dating. Now the power dynamics a little off, because she's got all the money, and she's got all the friends. And the world has kind of pushed her forward, and there's nothing wrong with that. But she's got the fancy degree from the school, and Brett feels a little cocked. But he goes with it, because he doesn't really have a family, his father's head was all over the garage, okay? Caroline loves Brett, she treats him really nicely. She likes him, he's a nice guy, he's pure, and he's simple, and she says that to her friends, like he's pure, he's like a good guy, and I just love him, you know, he uprooted his whole life from me, he's this midwestern guy, and he likes sports and baseball, and his dad blew off his head, and his mother's dead, but he's a good guy. And then one day, Caroline is having dinner on the Upper West Side, and the French guy that she was in love with two years prior passes, and he notices Caroline, and he comes over, and he says to her, howl, oh my God, it's crazy to see you. And she's like, hi, how are you? Now this French guy is French aristocracy, he's got lots of money, an absurd amount of money, in fact, there's not that many people left in France with money, this guy's one of them, Caroline knows that, but it doesn't matter, it's filed away in the back of her head, he also has movie star good looks. But Caroline's in a relationship with Brett, a regular midwestern guy who watched his dad, he didn't watch him, but the body was still warm when he walked into the garage, you know what I mean? Pretty sick of his dad to do that, close to school, but Caroline sees this French guy, Jacques, and she chats with Jacques, and you know what? She's gonna walk to get her Uber, and she decides that she'll, and he goes, well, maybe I'll just walk with you, and she goes, okay. And they chat, she doesn't mention that she's seeing anyone, but it doesn't come up, it doesn't come up, why would it come up? Okay, and he said, I'd love to see you again, we should go to this opening of this gallery, my friend in Soho, my cokehead friend who has no talent, has rented a gallery in Soho, and she's inflicting a mediocre art on people, let's all go down there and see what that's about. And she, living downtown, sees no reason not to attend a very public art gallery show in Soho with an old friend. It's not a big deal, she's not cheating on this Midwestern guy who's so pure and simple, his father killed himself in their garage. So Caroline from the Stern School of Business who cares that women get bitcoins so they can transcend the circumstances of living in an Afghan cave, decides to go to the opening of a mediocre artist in Soho with Jacques, a very wealthy French guy, all the while her simple, pure Midwestern beautiful boy, beautiful life that they have together, she calls him a boy, he doesn't love that, but she does and she realizes it's just cause he doesn't have a lot of money and he doesn't come from anything, okay? She decides to go to this gallery opening with Jacques. Well, the gallery opening becomes a lunch, and the lunch becomes a coffee. And then she eventually has to tell Jacques, listen, I'm actually in a relationship, but I don't know what the hell's going on here, okay? But Jacques says, listen, I totally understand, but here's the reality, you're graduating school next year, I've always loved you, I never thought you loved me, we're meant to be together, we're meant to get married at my family's vineyard in the south of France, you know it and I know it. So what are we doing here? And she walks home and she's crying and it's cold and it's wet and it's raining, but she knows that Jacques is right, she knows that she's going to go and marry this rich guy and she's going to destroy this man, this Midwestern guy who's a good guy. And she goes home and they have a talk and she says, listen, Brett, go away, listen, Brett, you know, I love you and these two years have been the best years of my life, but I just feel like there's too many things here that will just never work, I think we want different lives, you know, you mentioned that you love the Midwest and that you'd like to go back one day and I could never see myself living there. He goes, yeah, but that's just something I say, I mean, I've rooted my whole life for you, I kind of like New York, I actually love the pizza, I thought I'd never like anything better than the Tavern style Chicago pizza, but I actually love the pizza here. She goes, here's the thing, this isn't about pizza, Brett, it's not about food, it's about the fact that I met a guy and I'm in love with him and I'm sorry. Now, Brett is hollowed out, he's hollowed out, he's absolutely, he's vacant, there's nothing, he's angry and then the anger translates into a hopelessness, it's a stage four diagnosis, it's, oh, we've denied the appeal to death row, he knows immediately, as soon as those words leave her mouth, that there is nothing to be said and nothing to do, that he can't compete with this guy, this fairy tale French rich guy and she's been in love with forever because he's gonna provide her a type of life that Brett can't. So he then gets a small apartment in Manhattan, he moves out, cause he'd been living with Caroline for the last eight months, he started out in a small apartment, then he's living with her in a little bigger apartment in a better location, but he moves to Brooklyn, okay? He moves to Brooklyn, he says, fuck it, I'm gonna start moving to Brooklyn, I'm gonna live in Brooklyn now because who cares? I just wanna get laid, I wanna do drugs and I wanna just be angry, cause my fucking girl threw me, and Caroline keeps going and that's where her part of the story ends, we don't know what happens to Caroline, she gets engaged with this French guy, she gets really wealthy, she gets really rich, they split their time between France and the United States, she has a fake job and so does he, but Brett, Brett's not living in Brooklyn and Brett oscillates from the far left to the far right. One day he's a literal neo-Nazi, the next day he's a far left anarcho-communist and all the while he listens to the Tim Dillon show every day, every day he says, no idea which way I'm gonna go, he has no idea, he just knows I'm angry at things and he likes that and he listens to my show, but one day he's an anti-fun, the next day he's a proud boy, he's just angry, he's a hateful hatred, he's full of hatred because the rent keeps going up and nothing makes sense. I don't know what this has to do with anything really, economically, I thought it would say more about the economy than it actually did, but my point is this, we've empowered certain women at the expense of men that have found their fathers dead in their thing. I mean, it's true, so that's what I'm getting to, so this guy's now a radical because we made this woman fall in love with French people, which is disgusting. That's what happens. And Brett dies of an accidental overdose in Bushwick and his body is found by his Chinese landlord, you see, I made the landlord Chinese, I could have went another way, but it was a Chinese landlord and they found Brett's body and they couldn't call his dad, his dad's already dead. Said, this is what's happening, to young people all over the country. Well, it is. Where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more. So if you wanna be smart with your wallet, your career choices and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to big technology podcasts wherever you get your podcasts. Timdilloncomedy.com, we do have dates in the fall and what we do and Brigitte actually does have to come out and show it, show it, light it up, tell us what you got, there's nothing wrong with it. But it is happening. The thing I described is happening, men don't have great jobs and they're moving to these cities and then women are promising them stuff and then going with a French person. And that calls into the idea, what is a nation state? Well, they did, it actually does. What is a nation state? What are we, who are we? What do we wanna be? What do we owe each other? Show the pussy, Brigitte. I just love, I mean, this headline is just too funny, Hillary Clinton, uncontrolled fits of anger and heavy tranquilizer use. And happiness, she was also very happy, but that's okay. All right, folks, well, we're gonna get out of here. We have an interview right now with someone who supports Gaza, or maybe we played that in the beginning of the show. Should we play in the beginning or at the end? Beginning, all right, so we played it at the beginning. Just plain as testifying, we'll see what happens. Seems like Trump's done. Seems like the administration's kinda cooked. Feels like people are circling, they smell blood. Who inherits it? Is it Tucker, is it JD? People think Tucker's running, he says he's not running, but it feels a little bit like he's running. We don't know. Lots of things to follow, lots of stories that are developing all the time, TimnulaComedy.com tickets for shows in the fall, if you wanna see them. Thank you again. Bye-bye.
