Chapter 1: What is Qatar's influence on America?

29.574 - 59.155 Tim Dillon

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. Special report right now. The Free Press just put out an article how Qatar bought America. And they come to the conclusion, which I vehemently disagree with, that Qatar is spending money to influence things that are happening in America. Now, if that were true, there would be signs, right?

0

60.276 - 88.168 Tim Dillon

And I think it's irresponsible for the free press to come out and just baselessly claim that Qatari money is flowing, you know, out of the spigot and we're all drenching ourselves here in it. That's completely untrue. I have not been bought. Does this look like a man who's been bought by Qatar? Do I seem like someone who's been bought by the Middle East? I don't think so.

0

Chapter 2: Why was Trump gifted a $400 million plane?

88.968 - 119.67 Tim Dillon

We must really think about, before we start leveling accusations about, oh, so-and-so's getting a jet or now you have a tiger, you have to really think about the hurt you cause when you baselessly attack people and claim that they were purchased by a foreign country. It's not the truth. It's just simply not true. Yes, Trump is going to accept the jet.

0

121.692 - 160.79 Tim Dillon

Number one, what kind of piece of shit do you have to be to not accept a gift? Truly, to be very honest. How do you even go about not accepting a gift when it is a plane? Can we get up something about the plane? because I think they call it like a mansion in the sky. Yeah, a $400 million plane. Now, the Daily Beast is attacking it for being tacky, okay?

0

161.51 - 198.814 Tim Dillon

The people that read the Daily Beast are elderly hipsters with glaucoma who wear dirty shoes and hang around Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and have the aesthetic of somebody who lives under a bridge. These people are attacking a jet from Qatar. That's everything I've seen about it is that it's fucking beautiful. And these people, I mean, look at that. Look at that jet. That's tacky?

0

199.515 - 228.045 Tim Dillon

Are you out of your fucking mind? It's a beautiful palace in the sky. It's actually understated. To be honest, it's kind of understated. I was expecting it to be a little more over the top. But this is an incredibly beautiful aircraft that is being given to the President of the United States as a gift. which he will use and then eventually it'll go in his presidential library. That's the plan.

0

230.806 - 258.471 Tim Dillon

Trump loves luxury. One of the things you have to understand about Donald Trump is he likes luxury. He understands luxury. He understands what an aspirational figure is. He happens to be one for a lot of people. He understands the value in having a luxurious, beautiful way to travel, to live well.

259.612 - 302.808 Tim Dillon

This is the entire thing, is to live well, to work hard, and to reap the benefits of working hard, to accept a gift from... Now, is everyone in Qatar perfect? I imagine not. I imagine everyone in Qatar is not perfect. Yes. Are there people in Qatar who have, you know, participated in funding of terrorism, organizational support for terrorism? Yes. Does that mean the plane's not fucking nice? No.

303.669 - 321.396 Tim Dillon

No. You got to separate one thing from the other. Also, a lot of people in this country, when they think of the Arab world and planes, have a negative view because of a couple of things that happened.

323.021 - 351.527 Tim Dillon

Now, if this plane becomes the image, when we think about Muslims and planes or the Arab world and planes, and we're not thinking about that thing that happened, and we're thinking about a luxurious palace in the sky given as a gift to a president, I think we can all admit that's probably a good change from the way that we usually... Because usually, when you think of that...

352.327 - 390.937 Tim Dillon

Thing that happened, it's a bummer. It's a big bummer what happened in September, many Septembers. It's actually a bummer. And, you know, I think a lot of people are ready to move on from that. Moving on from that, the future is forward and the past is the past. So now people go, oh, yeah, Arab world, planes. Let me tell you this. We got a beautiful plane. And this is what? Is this a 747? Yeah.

Chapter 3: What are the details of Trump's luxurious plane?

818.946 - 852.607 Tim Dillon

Gift giving makes people forget the negative past. Yes, yes or yes? You know, I do not agree with Hamas. I think they've been a bad custodian of Gaza. I think they've done terrible things. Obviously, they've done horrible, terrible, terrible things. And I don't agree with their policies or their beliefs. I don't agree with anything. But if you said to me, what is the one thing

0

854.131 - 887.105 Tim Dillon

You and Hamas, we both like the Four Seasons hotel brand. Do we start there? If we want to come together, do we start there? If you and somebody are not seeing eye to eye, you don't get along, you don't like each other, but you both like the same band, you start there, right? Oh, I hate you. You hate me. We like the Goo Goo Dolls. Let's start with that. Baby's black balloon makes her fly.

0

887.546 - 918.784 Tim Dillon

Start there. I like the forces. So if I met Hamas, of course, I wouldn't start with our areas of disagreement. I would say, I love the hotel you love. And they would say, well, let me tell you about that hotel. We know a lot about it. And I would say, well, that's actually great. Have you been to the Four Seasons Surfside in Miami? It looks like the capital of a Latin American city.

0

918.804 - 933.616 Tim Dillon

It's absolutely stunning. And they would go, we've not been to that one, but we hear it's actually very beautiful. I say, it's one of the top Four Seasons properties in the world. Get up the Four Seasons Surfside. Take a look at that. It's a stunner.

0

936.172 - 964.744 Tim Dillon

What's so good about it is they kept the old building where they have the restaurant and the lobby, but the rooms are all glass, so you can see the ocean. And that's what I would say if I met Hamas. I wouldn't... I wouldn't go into these. I don't, you know, what's that rule? No politics, no religion. And what is it? No baseball. What's that saying? No race. No, it's not no race, Hitler.

965.465 - 985.597 Tim Dillon

Get the saying up. It's something at the dinner table. It's no, you can't have a politics or at the dinner table. There's something no politics or no religion or no baseball. No talking, no talking anything controversial. Yeah. Okay. Maybe it's just religion or politics. Yeah. No politics, no religion at the dinner table.

986.718 - 1009.587 Tim Dillon

So if I met people that I disagree with, my first thing would be, can I find common ground? Donald Trump has found common ground with the Qataris. They both really, really like money. They like luxury. They like planes. They like hotels. They like the good life. Now, maybe some of their religious fundamentalism might be tempered.

1010.947 - 1034.457 Tim Dillon

by the fact that they want to move in a more westernized direction to attract people from all over the world. You know, Dubai, I talked about it on the last episode. They're spending a lot of time and effort trying to get people from all over the world to live in Dubai. And I think Qatar is going in a similar direction. Trump is building a bridge, a golden bridge, to Qatar through this plane.

1035.738 - 1071.249 Tim Dillon

And he's going to basically be able to influence them You know, and it'll work both ways to a degree, but I think closing the doors is not the move. The move is to find that area of common ground, okay, that we can all agree on, you know, and that's that it is nice to have nice things. And if we forget that, and if we don't, internalize that truth. We all want nice things, okay?

Chapter 4: How does luxury play a role in politics?

1221.377 - 1234.707 Tim Dillon

Why would you not fly around in great planes? None of this makes any fucking sense. Get on board now. If you want to get something going in America, you better fucking show up with a gift. What's that story, The Gift of the Magi?

0

1234.727 - 1237.569 Co-host (unnamed)

I'll pull it up.

0

1240.011 - 1259.04 Tim Dillon

It's a thing. It's possible this story has the opposite lesson of what I'm talking about, but I don't know. It's a short story by O'Henry. It tells the story of a young husband and wife, how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money.

0

1259.701 - 1276.174 Tim Dillon

As a sentimental story with a moral lesson about gift giving, it has been popular for adaptation, especially the presentation at Christmas time. The plot and the twist ending are well known, but the ending is generally considered an example of cosmic irony. Let's go to the plot.

0

1277.782 - 1301.634 Tim Dillon

On Christmas Eve, a woman named Della Dillingham Young discovers that she only has $1.87, equivalent to about $70 in 2025, to buy a present for her husband, James. Despite being poor, they love each other and possess two items they value as treasures. She has brown hair, and he has a gold pocket watch, a family heirloom. Della dresses warmly and visits the nearby shop of a wig maker.

1302.034 - 1324.556 Tim Dillon

She sells her hair for 20 bucks, okay? Then she uses the money... Oh, I get this. I remember this now. He gives away his watch. She gets him a thing for the watch. It no longer makes sense. He gets her something for the hair. She sold her hair. It no longer makes sense. You know what the moral of the fucking story is? Accept the plane and stop the bullshit. I don't even know what this is.

1324.576 - 1347.488 Tim Dillon

Get it off. Get it off this communist shit. From seed oils to stress, toxins to pollutants, the modern world is screwing with our health at the cellular level, leading to exhaustion, brain fog, digestive issues, and more. But here's the thing.

Chapter 6: What lessons can be learned from gift-giving?

2840.359 - 2843.882 Tim Dillon

He was also physically abusive to her, and there's videos of that.

0

2844.143 - 2844.343 Co-host (unnamed)

Yeah.

0

2844.843 - 2871.352 Tim Dillon

Right. So, unfortunately, you know... This is going to end badly for him. I'm wondering if they're going to try to... How does this work? Do they get rid of him like Epstein? Or does this all come out in court? It may all come out in court. I don't know who stands to... lose here. I don't know who was involved. I know that there was a lot of... I don't want to watch this. We don't want to play it.

0

2871.372 - 2891.29 Tim Dillon

We'll all get in trouble. And it's... He's an animal and a monster and should be, you know, really given the death penalty. Who is... I don't know, but he's with all these celebrities. I don't know who's involved and who's not involved. Some people just went to a party and some people are going to be implicated. It's across the board.

0

2891.31 - 2916.302 Tim Dillon

This is why Hollywood doesn't come back, I think, in its current form or in the form that people understood it because people know too much now and they understand too much now about the way that power functioned and the people whose lives were ruined by these people that were forcing them into situations that they would later tell us about in court.

2917.042 - 2944.252 Tim Dillon

And I don't think the power structures in Hollywood can endure all of this information flooding out, all of the documentaries, all of the articles, all of the testimonies by people that have been abused at some point in that system. I think when Hollywood reemerges in whatever form it takes, it will not look anything like the way it did.

2944.272 - 2972.383 Tim Dillon

It will be a decentralized, tech-based sphere where I will be the leader of it. And that will be a much more fair way to do it when I'm the boss and I will make sure that everything goes well and that people are happy. And if people are a problem, they will be eliminated. And I think that's the only way here to move forward in this Hollywood type thing.

2972.683 - 2990.015 Tim Dillon

The point is this, he's building a foreign policy based on what he understands and what he knows. And of course, a lot of people dislike it because they don't understand that. These WASPs, a lot of them that set up this military industrial complex don't really understand luxury.

0

3575.121 - 3597.729 Tim Dillon

They all live in like tree houses and they have old cars and whatever. And they just get off torturing, maiming and killing. But Donald Trump understands the value of a Persian rug. He understands a great bottle of wine, a lobster tail. He knows what it's like to pop a cork of champagne. I'm not afraid of that. I think we need more of that.

3598.209 - 3624.821 Tim Dillon

Who are these people in the world that are afraid of that? We need people aspiring to live at those heights. That's where greatness comes from. And I think he understands that. And it's a great threat to these people that don't seem to understand it or they seem to crave war because it's the only thing in life that gives them any type of meaning or excitement or sense of fulfillment.

3625.561 - 3657.565 Tim Dillon

Whereas I think Trump is basically saying, hey, you can gamble a little bit. Maybe you meet a woman at the bar. Perhaps there's a crab leg involved. These are things that are well worth exploring as a reintroduction of the United States to the world as not just a military behemoth, but as a luxury hotel. What a beautiful way to think about the United States, a luxury hotel.

3658.125 - 3677.781 Tim Dillon

You check in, but you have a reservation. That's where the immigration comes in, okay? You wait in our beautiful lobby, Manhattan, wherever. That's the lobby of America. That's where a lot of foreign people, or if you're from the West, it's Los Angeles. They're the lobbies. Then you explore our vast...

3679.048 - 3707.138 Tim Dillon

Canyons and forests and cities, you go country line dancing, you, you know, have, you know, a, you know, you have a beautiful, you know, cross country drive or whatever. You go down to Florida and you realize how beautiful a tropical storm can be from the balcony of your hotel while you eat coconut sorbet. We don't have to kill each other forever.
