496 - USA vs. China, Spencer Pratt, & A Heist

We are in London, a last minute trip to the UK.

“And where it's very kind of the people here to let us use their studio.”

Podcasting is apparently becoming a thing here. So we'll see what happens with that. It's had quite the run in America, podcasting. Hasn't it? Hasn't it had quite the run?

And some people not so thrilled with podcasting. And the direction it's gone in. And it's powers. But it's good to be here in London. It's a beautiful day.

We're going to see Pierce Morgan on Monday.

We're going to we're going to fuck around.

Again, thank you to everyone who came to that cellic sunset show. And I wasn't going to discuss this because it's probably a legal matter now.

“I guess and I wasn't going to bring it up.”

It really, truly, it wasn't going to bring it up. But I'm being is the term extortion because I'm being extorted. Is that the term? I think that's the term. I hired a lovely woman to do this costume.

Who I said very nice things about on this show. And she sent an estimate for the costume that was a number. I'm not going to say what the number was. Should I see what the number was? Should I see what the number was?

It was $25,000 was the estimate, okay? For the costume, now that's very high. But that's okay. We paid a down payment of $12,000 for the costume because it was going to be a very

“extravagant, beautiful costume, which it was, which it was.”

And we thank her for her work. Now an estimate is an estimate, we get it, but at no point during the costumeing process. Now she is called this hote couture. It was a costume. It's not hote couture.

It's not on the runway in Milan. It's a costume that I am wearing on stage to interview brain dead, pretend real estate agents for a Netflix thing that no one cares about. It's not hote couture. Now when someone's mind, it might be hote couture and that's very lovely.

I'm glad that she has that belief in herself, but it's not hote couture. I mean, the fitting was in your apartment. You know what I mean? So, and again, very talented woman.

She's got an incredible level of talent, hote couture, Mido no, I don't know.

She sends the final estimate for the costume, costume, not couture, costume, you're a costume designer. There's nothing wrong with that. Is there something wrong with that? No, that's a beautiful thing.

But you're not Oscar de la Renta. I don't need to tell you that. You know that. That's okay. I'm not Jerry Seinfeld.

It is what it is. So final estimate, and I don't mean estimate. I mean, the final bill for the costume, my business manager calls me $115,000. I'll say that again for one costume, including the boots, the jacket, the pants, the hat.

$100 and $15,000, having not communicated any of the overages to me at any point. She wasn't like, hey, we're going over on this one. This one's getting out of control. She wasn't like, by the way, just to keep you informed, I'll be retiring after I complete this project.

She didn't tell me, by the way, I'm on Zillow while I stitched this lapel because I'm getting the fuck out of here as soon as this is done. I'm out. I'm leaving the business with your money at no point did she tell me that we had made the trip from $25,000, which again is egregious.

It is egregious for one outfit. No, no, maybe there's people in the comments now that are in the fashion, but well, you don't actually know what goes in a shut up, shut up. I do know what goes into it. I was willing to pay $25,000 to $30,000, which by the way, I could have walked in a

Versacey bought a suit, had them do the alterations, it would have been 10 grand.

Even though it's a lot of money, I respect literally last episode. I came on here and I talked about how much talent people had and I was being very nice

to the woman and I still will be, I don't know, I'm never going to see her again.

But I will never see she's untalented what I am saying is she is psychotic. And that is different, talent and psychosis are often go together. I just bought an escalate in New York, my car was stolen, I got a car. This costume, again, not hot couture, this costume is costing me more than the Cadillac escalate I just purchased.

Does that make any sense to anyone?

“Is anybody, do you say anyone feel good about that?”

Is that make any sense? No communication, an estimate of 25 final number, $115,000. So I guess my lawyer is now involved, I don't know what to do here, it's a shake now. It's a shake down, it's absurd. Now, I'll go to small claims with her, I'll go to the court with a judge sits there

and we both go up and we tell our side of the story where I go up and I go I contracted blah, blah, blah.

She's in my phone as her first name and then costume, it's costumes.

It's a costume, not to be it's whole thing, but it's a costume, what do we do it? What do we do it?

“So we're dealing with that and it's unfortunate because again, I would have used the”

woman in the future, I would have used her again, but it's such an abuse of trust. It's unbelievable. If you look at the billing on this, the hours that she build 300 hours giving herself over time and she sent the long email, she had three months to do it, just took a whole team and we have a whole team and I had to pay myself over time and at one point we did

the math, she was supposedly working 21 hours a day on this. So she was sleeping four hours a night and then waking up like a soldier at war and waking up like, oh, they figured out our position, we have to move in the middle of the night. Instead, she would then so rind, ston't into a lapel, how stupid do I look? How stupid?

Now, I know I look pretty stupid, but how completely insane do you think I am that for 21 hours a day, you claim to be working on this thing, allowing you to sleep four hours

“a night, we did the math, that's what she's claiming, by the way, you went three months”

to do it. What do you mean overtime? What are you talking about overtime? This is your job, it's all the time. And then she got in because I missed a fitting because I went to New York to do the

infantry, so New York benefit, I literally said, I don't really care, it doesn't have to fit, it's not a runway show, it is a comedy show, I will be happy to do a fitting when I get back to LA and you make whatever alterations you need. And I got built for that, and she said it's set her staff back, her staff I didn't know she had, and she started talking about production flows and work flows and I don't

know what, what do these people talking about? Now, I can't say anything more about this because I'll be sued for slander. That's the thing, so I'm not saying anything about this person, I'm seeing this is an imaginary thing that we're all talking about here and you can't sue me, by the way, you cannot sue me for slander if I don't say the name, right?

But I'm saying that, I'm not saying the name, I'll sue you, that you, but you know, I don't

want to sue anyone, I've never sued anyone, I've never been sued but you're you're you're

trying to, you're doing something crazy right now, and I don't know why you're doing it, I don't know why you're doing it, it's wrong. You can be sued for slander or live, even if you do not explicitly name the person provided

Anyway, whatever, I'm going to move on, I'm just saying this, what this person did is

“an egregious thing to charge 115,000 dollars for one outfit, one outfit after sending”

an estimate of 25 and going, by the way, I got that wrong, the shadyist contractor in the world, people that I personally know, the scum of the earth contractors would not do this, they would not deliver you an estimate for your kitchen and go, we think it's going to be 50 and then go by the way, it's actually 200, this is not something that is done, this is an abuse, this is a sin, it's a sin, I don't know which one, but it's many of them, it's

like many of the sins, truly, she's breaking a lot of the commandments with this behavior. I don't know, yes, one of them, thou shalt not covet because she's coveting and that's why you get it, I'm not a theologian, but that's the reality here, it's abuse, there's

“no world religion that would condone this behavior, maybe one, maybe one religion would”

be okay, I'm just saying no world religion, there might be only one that would be, but here's my point, everyone that visits me, everyone talks about the good, the bed and the

gastroom's amazing, I go well, it's helix, I'm telling you right now, people are getting

a deeper, longer lasting sleep with a helix mattress and the midnight deluxe is my favorite, a study ran found that 82% of those involved so on increase in their deep, sleep, cycle while sleeping on a helix mattress free shipping, seamless delivery, helix delivers your mattress right to your door free shipping in the US, you could take a quiz, it will tell you what mattress is right for you, the quiz takes like a few seconds, it's very

easy, go right now to helixleep.com/timd for the new offer and I'm telling you right now, we are 27% off site wide, I'm telling you, Memorial Day sale, 27% off site wide, mattress shopping is one of the most demoralizing things you can do, just going around in some empty mall where half the stores are vacant and then laying on some bed while some creep is standing there, you don't want it, go to helixleep.com/timd, that's helixleep.com/timd, 27% off

site wide, Memorial Day sale, folks, I love this mug, you see what British should do, because everything here is very muted and green, and by the way, you come here and they

“go, oh, it's been taking over by hordes of roving barbarians, that's what they say, but”

you come here, it's actually really nice and sunny and lovely, but I mean, in America, they're like, it's just machetes and tribal warfare, it doesn't seem like that, I've only been here a day, maybe I'm raw, maybe I'll be stabbed later, but it seems very beautiful and it's a world-class city, and I'm not getting the vibe for the moment, for the moment, let's, we're gonna be here a little bit, so let's, you know, but for the moment, immigration's

big here as an issue, I know that, I've talked about it before, I do not live here, I don't have a ton of friends here, I know a few people here, I know London is the wealthiest, one of the wealthiest cities in the world, if not the wealthiest, it is really, the money in London

is on a different level, even coming from New York, and I always take a lot of pride and

be from New York, even from Long Island, sort of a pig pen adjacent to New York, but a lot of funny people, they've a tall, Colin Quinn, Baldwin's, Rosier Donald, Amy Schumer, sort of a bovine, myself, sort of a bovine quality to many of us sort of like a bovine facial structure, but I don't, I don't live in London, I don't know anything about it, but I do know that from, from what I see the money here is on a different level that is the financial capital that's

halfway between New York and Asia, and you have a lot of young people who's parents, you know, are wanted for war crimes at the Hague or they've poisoned river in Zambia, or they've done some arms dealing, they shouldn't have, and they want their children to grow up as British gentlemen, it's true, so they take all of their blood money and they park it in a very secure and discreet condo or townhouse, and their children go to British schools, so you get, it's a

going to foreign, foreign nationals, so it's a lot of people have talked about that, I've talked

“about it in New York, it's certainly something I think that drives a certain amount of the”

resentment, because not only do you have, you have a lot of, you have an influx of people and capital from all over the world, and that is displacing people that may have maybe could have afforded to live here 10, 15, 20 years ago. By the way, there's very few cities in the world where that isn't happening, most cities that is happening, and London's, you know, an example of that, like New York is an example of that, these very large financial centers are becoming just that,

a bank, they're just becoming a financial center, they're a tad boring, a lot of expensive restaurants,

a lot of, you know, uh, creature comforts for people that have millions and millions and millions of dollars, a lot of gyms, a lot of Pilates, a lot of yoga, a lot of personal assistance and dog walkers and make up artists and stylist and costume designers watch out for them, but there's a lot of people here that are here to make the lives of rich people better, um, personal chefs and, and nannies and all of that, and you could find that in any of these cities, but a lot of people that would have

been able to afford to live in this metro area are being pushed out, and, and that drives a certain

“amount of resentment and anger, and you could see that politically, and that's why Nigel Farage's”

reform party has gained a lot because you have a lot of immigration that has complicated, um, people's feelings, towards their own future, the future of their community. Now again, I've not witnessed any of this firsthand. I'd like to, and I'm not here to make a YouTube documentary either. I'm not going to be like walking, so it's just not my beat. I'm just not going to be interviewing e-moms in the tube. That's not what I'm doing, by the way. I'm going to have dinner with a few people

and they're going to say some things that are vaguely racist and then all basically kind of transcribed

them and then make them appropriate for YouTube, but I, no, I'm not going to be doing like docks.

“And God bless the people to do that. It's just not what I do. So I'm going to, you know, I'll be around,”

I'll be, you know, kind of doing the best that I can in terms of like gauging, because by the way, we come from the UK. So we are a system of government is from the UK, and this, we, you might be looking into where we're going. The free speech laws, I don't know how real that is, by the way. It's probably very real where you, if you say certain things, people show up at your door like a rescue. Okay, but not about costume people and not in America.

So don't try that. And I would gladly go to jail like Gandhi instead of pay this money. Moving on, it's not about me. It's about the global financial system. But I don't know, but the, for all we hear in America is that the UK free speech laws are draconian. Is that true, do you think? It's not interesting. Yeah, I mean, so I don't know. I'm here not knowing only hearing. So again, and I'm not here to do it in an investigative report. This is not a deep

dive. I'm just going to fuck off and talk to some people like one guy just shook his head. He's like, it's not that bad. But then there are instances where we see people that are getting in trouble for things they've said on social media. I don't really know. So we don't really know my Twitter, which I don't even use. My axe is on my producer's phone. He'll go right to jail. He'll go right to jail for what he's done. Truly, he'll go right to jail. He'll go right to jail. And I'll

take a train of Paris. I don't give a fuck. Does it matter? It doesn't really matter. One thing I want to talk about here, because they think our next episode will have more about the British what's going on here, because Frank ain't got your last night. I don't know. I'm unaware. Supposedly, there are large swaths of the UK that are, I guess majority Muslim communities

I haven't really witnessed at the moment. I did remember checking in the hotel last night,

“lovely Indian man named Joseph. And I go, what's your name? Because Joseph, I go, really? And he goes,”

yeah, I'm Catholic. I go interesting. And he goes, I'm from India. And I go, what's going on here is the hotel business. And he goes, well, a lot of tourism to London. As you know, he goes, is from the Middle East. So we fall and off. And I go, well, we're, I just want to apologize for this war and for our president and for our bestie Israel. And I get it. And he goes, yeah, he goes, I was just in Qatar. And things are, they're stabilizing or normalizing. But by the way,

every, and that the UK news is so much better than the American news. It is so much more in depth. The people are scary looking on the UK news, like the actual anchors are terrifying look. So you know how bad things are like immediately. As soon as you turn on the TV, like Jesus Christ, but they are, they go very deep into the global financial recession crisis that is coming because of the streets of Formus oil. And we're not doing that in America, wonder why, but we're not.

And I don't think people are prepared for what is coming economically. I don't think people have

“a clue. I think people think the war is over. It was a bad idea. We shouldn't have done it.”

Oopsie will spin it as to like we could have won, but didn't want to. That'll be the spin. We could have killed them, but we didn't because we're a merciful nation. God only knows what's spin we will have on this. We would have killed them and should have, but we, we know, we have restraint and, and then we'll lie and we'll say that we, we made great progress.

And they would never think of having a nuke now. Why would they think of having a nuke now?

You know, it's like, well, I could think of, I don't know, one big reason. They'd want to nuke now more than ever. But we'll do something and then, and it will Israel let us get out of the war probably not. Let's just be honest. They're not going to let us get out of the war. They have no plans. Israel right now was like, no, no, no, no, we're not. No one's, uh, no one's leaving the idea of this war. You can take breaks. You can take a beat, but the idea of regime

change in Iran is not going anywhere for the Netanyahu government. By the way, or for the next government, that's elected. They don't care. They're not planning on letting us out of this war. If they can help it, and they, and they can. So talking to the guy that was checking us in the

room last night, he was basically like, oh, yeah, you know, I work at a high end hotel and we've lost

a lot of business because people are incredibly destroyed. Not only are there countries being attacked, but the economic fallout from this is going to be massive and people don't, they don't get it.

“And I don't think your average American has a clue. I think some of them do. I think the prices”

are starting to go up. The price of fuel is higher. The price of goods at the local store are much higher. But I'm, I'm unaware if they know what's coming because it seems to be that we're going to be in a whole lot of trouble.

It's a trumps in China with every CEO, every tag demon, they're all there. It's a trip to China and he does this. He's greeted by President G and they have this beautiful walk. Now take a look at this and want everyone to look at.

Look at all the Chinese children. They're in the first of all. They're all in colorful outfits

and they're doing something that children in America cannot do. They're jumping up and down. They're jumping up and down. They're full of life. And by the way, I don't give a fuck if they just got out of a camp and they were trained to do this. I don't care. I'm telling you right now,

“I do not care if these kids did this at gunpoint. I don't care and you know why I don't care”

because I'm impressed by this. When I see this demonstration, I am impressed. Maybe I'm old, fuck off. Fine. I am impressed by how cohesive this is. I want everyone to look at this. This is President G of China, President G, friend of the show and Donald Trump are President and they're doing kind of this like like Wizard of Oz style walk except a set of yellow brick road as like a red carpet and there's all these Chinese children and they have American flags

and Chinese flags and they're dressed to the nines and they're jumping up and down and they're genuinely excited and it could never happen in America and I'll tell you why. I'm impressed by this. Just take this in.

Amazing. Keep going and they've got a band. Here's what I've noticed about this by all the

children or Chinese. No, no, no, no, hold on. Can I make a point please? Can I make a point without being accused of being Hitler? It's I, there's something listen. Say what you will. You take a bunch of fat American kids and you mix them in. It loses something. Sorry. And whatever, I'm all for the diversity angle of things. You know, but I'm just saying when you have an entirely, it's almost like they have rhythm. They're jumping up and down. They're all Chinese and

there's something about that where like, I don't know, it's just something, it's impressive. You know, it's an impressive thing to witness this display of this is the youth of the country. They're excited. The Chinese government is like, this is our future and they're not going to look like shit. How about that? How about that? They're not going to look like shit. They're going to jump up and down. They're going to have flags. Now in America, can you imagine a foreign leader meeting

our children? No, I'm asking. I'm genuinely asking. Can you imagine a foreign leader meeting our staff discussing children? Can you imagine what that would look like? Just hordes of children on the spectrum with helmets and on leashes? No, I'm telling you. Can you imagine the disgrace

I'm not an idiot. I know that they went through these kids' pick of the leader. I get that they

“are not bringing in the children from the rural provinces. Like, they remember that girl I used to love.”

I used to watch this some Chinese and she had this transgender friend Wulong. She was friends with and then get her up. Get Wulong and then she used to hit her mother. She used to hit her mother. She was duck and people called her Dobby. She looked like Dobby, the elf from Harry Potter. But there was Wulong with her transgender friend and then there was a, it was the Chinese girl who hits and choose from a rural province in China. And yes, so here we go. Go down, go down

and go to the right. Okay, play this. Well, no, no, no, play the one I said to play. Thank you. Sorry. Yeah, I understand that this is not, see, just a whip, something. She fell off. She was huge for her. Well, Wulong is the hunchback. But then there was a transgender singer there and that's Wulong is the hunchback and then I forget her name, but she's got that whip. All right, get her out of here.

But she was big for a minute. Now I understand that China's not choosing her. For example, I'm in the business of entertainment. I'm aware of these things and allow it works. But I'm just thinking about, can you imagine President G coming to America and being

horrified at the state of our children? First of all, all these kids sound like kids are like,

yeah, yeah, our children would be like, the sound that our children would make are over-medicated little piglets, the sound that they would make,

“the sounds, the gutteral sounds, I mean, our children have acid reflux. Do you understand that?”

Do you understand that 11 year olds in our country fully have acid reflux? And they have to chew tombs at their school. Okay, they have the stomach acid of a retired detective these kids. Do you understand that? And it gurgles up their little esophagus, because all we do is feed them poison all day. And yet you look at these trainees kids and imagine we told a bunch of our kids jump up and down, they couldn't do it.

Their knees would buckle under the weight, they'd fall on the floor and they'd start screaming. So I was just impressed by this, by the way. And by the way, it is not, can you play it again? Just play this again, please, or keep playing it, whichever. Everybody is dressed in a colorful way. Nobody looks like shit. And they're all excited to see the leader of the country. And every's going to all of that's fascism. Well, it's colorful

and it's happy. It's colorful and it's happy, by the way. And I can only imagine this happening in America and how embarrassed we'd all be, because you know our children would be standing, they're looking around, looking up, not waving the flag, vaping, most of our children would be vaping. I mean, it's just, all right, let's get it out of here. But it is, it is something to be

“and here's the thing with the Taiwan. Here's the thing with Taiwan.”

Because President Xi has basically said, listen, we'll work with you on AI.

You know, the CEO of the video Jensen Huang was there, Huang, and they're, you know, obviously they're talking about how many chips should China get, you know, because there's that whole concern that, you know, if China gets too many Nvidia chips, they're going to be able to dominate us militarily with AI. And we have put certain limits on the chips that they could get. Now, of course, China's kind of going around that because they're pretty smart.

So they've actually, they have other countries setting up like dummy corporations to actually get chips and things like that in Bhutan and to bat. No, we talked about on the oil and podcasts a very long time ago when I was promoting the special, they're, they're a workarounds for

Xi basically said, we're going to open up more. China will open up more.

Economically, we will open up more. We can work with you on AI, but his red line is Taiwan. He really considers Taiwan to be part of China. And China doesn't believe in going to war unless they absolutely must. This is something that, you know, has been talked about a lot, and that is that China believes, if you look at their Belt and Road initiative, they're going into Africa, they're building schools, the building bridges, they're building infrastructure,

they're making investments. They're not going and invading countries. They're not to

capitating the leadership of a country. They're not trying to convert people to their system

“with a, with a gun to their head. They're buying politicians. And this is how I see, and I think a”

lot of smart people that I know, much smarter than me, see what will happen with Taiwan. They're going to end up taking Taiwan without firing a shot. There will be some kind of reunification vote, and at that point, China will have purchased a lot of the political opposition to China in Taiwan. They're going to go in. They're going to spread a lot of money around, and they're going to make it in an inevitability, the Taiwan reunifies it becomes part of China. Now, China wants

making a lot of our chips, a lot of these chips that we're talking about. This is where they are being manufactured as Taiwan. There is a big national security interest in Taiwan far more than you

“crane, by the way. Ukraine is a financial interest. They have trillions of dollars of minerals,”

they have a lot of fertile farmland, you know, breadbasket, Europe, whatever. But there's no national security interest that the United States has in the Ukraine, but they certainly have one in Taiwan because of the industry that is pretty much headquartered in Taiwan, which is, you know, the manufacturing of these chips, this kind of high-end manufacturing, and so China's very well aware of that. And as our way, so Taiwan is the big sticking point here, and China's going to

most likely take it without firing a shot. Chinese leader Xi Jinping won President Trump that any mishandling of Taiwan could lead to quote an extremely dangerous situation. Directly raising a point of tension that is loomed over with the US President said at the start could be "the best summit ever." Xi's remarks while in line with China's long-standing position threatened to dim the mood of a visit. Both countries hoped would stabilize ties.

The meetings began Thursday morning at the Great Hall of the People. I liked the name of that. By the way, the Great Hall of the People in Beijing were built as a gathering of superpowers to "queue economic and trade disputes." The topics were indeed raised, including discussion, of US trade ties, US access to the Chinese market, Beijing's investment in US industries, and its purchases of American agricultural products. Xi, however, aims to weaken the US commitment

to Taiwan, a self-governing democracy that Beijing seeks to bring under its control. We got to deal with China. We have to deal with China. This is not like we cannot have an overtly adversarial relationship with China. It's not going to work. We cannot go to a war with China, it will destroy our life on Earth. We cannot treat China like Iran. We can do none of this, by the way. Economically, they hold most of our debt, 90% of our antibiotics are made in China,

among other things. So, not just anything of the semi-conductors or whatever. Like,

“if you want to talk about two economies that at this point are pretty inextricably linked,”

and the two superpowers left are the US and China. We, there is no option to antagonize China

unnecessarily. There's just not. Trump's comment, "Great, great place, incredible China's

beautiful." Well, there you go. There are psychopaths in our government that would like to have a war with China. Why? Well, they would like a substantial reduction of the population on Earth. They

mind a conflict with China that could turn nuclear. I mean, there is people that believe that

there are people that believe that a war with China is inevitable, and at some point it's just going to happen. They are psychopaths, they're motivated by religion, they're motivated by money, whatever they're motivated by, these people exist, and they believe that and they'll tell you with the straight face that within five to seven years you're just going to be a war with China. And there's done you could do about it. They'll tell you with that, they'll tell you that at a dinner

“between the appetizer and the outro. That within five to seven years, you have to get ready”

for a war with China, like a hot war with China. And you go, "No, no, no, no, we can't beat

Iran. There's no more war here. We can't do it. We're not built for it anymore. The country's not built for war. We're built for tiktok. We're built for bullshit. We're not, we're not built for which is not a war. We're not, we're just not built for it anymore. Sorry, this doesn't work anymore. Built the drones, if you want, maybe I'm sure that'll be, you know, we're facing people out of the war business and we're facing in the machines. And they want to draft, Palantir and all these people

want to draft. And by the way, now that I see these live streamers in Miami, just going up to people harassing people in the street and getting charged with attempted murder, maybe we should have a draft to be on. I mean, I might be going the other way on that. I'm like not a fan of a draft, but the level of sociopathy that has been unleashed by our social media sites, I don't know, is it, are they that much more soft than Iran? I mean, it's, it's unbelievable. So hopefully

there's a middle grab between shipping them to Iran. But there's this idea that conflict between us and China is inevitable. Not only is it not inevitable, but it will be the end of the world which some people want. Some people want that because they look at the post World War II system that goes stock at a work. We owe too much money. We owe $40 trillion, $41 trillion. It goes up every year. We're not going to be able to get out of this. We're going to head towards hyperinflation.

So we need a large war and people are basically saying that the inevitable reality is that

we will be in a conflict with China. We will not survive it. We probably won't win, by the way. And if we win, what does that even look like? So we have to deal with them. We have to deal with China much more than Russia. Yes, we have to deal with Russia because they have 150 nuclear warheads something, whatever 180 doesn't matter. China, but Russia has an economy roughly the size of Brazil. China is deeply enmeshed with the US economy. We have to deal with them.

“And we can't go to war. We can't. And we have to tread very carefully. That's what we have”

every CEO in America in China right now. We need to try this whole idea that we're against China or anti-China is itself a lie that I mean, the Steve Batons and people will talk about how dangerous the CCP is and they might be right. There's no fucking option. We have no option. We have no option. There is no option to start telling China what to do. That's not going to work. We can't beat Iran. We can't beat Iran. I'm going to British podcast to you and I feel like

no one here just comes in and talks very quietly. I imagine and I've got only news about what, but I have no idea what even, it's probably like a mom, like mommy and me stuff, like a, they talk about healthy yogurt for the kids or something. It's just funny. I imagine no one there's very few people that are screaming about China, but we don't have an option. There is no

“option. That's why every American CEO was in China and still might be. I don't know when this”

comes out, but like this is very clear that there's no option. We're not telling China to fuck off. We're done with that. Let me help everybody. We're done with that. We're not the high school bully anymore. We're not we're the weird kid who may have a gun. We are not the high school bully anymore. We're the weird kid that may have a gun and it's not hot, but it's not terribly ugly. Like you might fuck them. That's who we are. We're the weird kid that knows how to get drugs who may have a gun and you

The American quarterback centuries over. This is not top gun. We are not Tom Cruise. You need to

wake the fuck up. There's a new Chinese kid in school and he's kind of American looking. He's kind of ripped, but he's also Chinese and he's hot and people want to fuck him. They want to fuck him. He's kind of got a nice cock and people want it. They want to get down and they want to slurp him. They don't want to slurp us anymore. You know why? Because we've hung out behind the dairy queen too long. Do in drugs with our friends. We look a little older. We have wrinkles in our face.

We're the college kid who keeps going to the high school parties. We're a pedophile. And we may

have a gun. This country is a pedophile that may have a gun who knows how to get drugs.

“And you have to deal with that person. But there's a new kid on the block. And yes, he put a bunch of”

Muslims in a concentration camp. But no one gives a shit. Because he's got that beautiful clear light complexion. And he knows all the answers in math class. And he's who everybody wants to hang out with right now. Have you ever seen an American like a half American half Asian and like a varsity jacket? It's beautiful. It's actually beautiful. That's who we are right now. We are the weird kid who may or may not have a weapon whose parents leave him home alone. She could have the

parties at his house. We are not running the show. We are not the golden god of where we're just

not come to reality. Okay. We need to come to reality right now. We're not going to give the middle finger to China. We need to work with China. I will take money from China. Tonight. I will

“take money from China. Tonight. If China contacts me with money, I will take it. And I will not”

pay my costume designer who's a criminal. But I will take money from China tonight for sure. The New York Times try to give me money to say nice things about them. And I said no. But I will take money from China and institution I respect. And we do have to come to reality. There's this swagger that needs to be it's got to go now because it's going to get us killed. The swagger that we have is going to get us killed. Okay. We can barely make a movie anymore. We can barely make anything

that anybody wants to watch. The music is fine. It's fine. When I grew up, you had great pride in the things that we made. And yes, a lot of them are cultural. Whatever, we can barely even do that anymore. Our entertainment industry is a joke. It's becoming a joke. Okay. So we can barely do any of that. And outside of a few cities or infrastructure is crumbling. I'm not a doom and

“gloomer. I think there's a way back. But there's not a way back to us running the whole”

fucking world. So let's get realistic here. Let's get realistic. Stop the swagger. Okay. And start to honestly assess what if the Iran war, honestly assess what can it cannot happen. If the Iran war did it wake you up and doesn't show you the limits of American power. You're insane. Truly, if the Iran war did not show you the limits of American power in this century, you are crazy. This is not the Pax Ramana for us here. This is not we are a kid that used to be really cool

that had the best parties. But was in a car accident and killed someone. But didn't go to jail. And now they're back in school and they have a scar on their face. And they're still kind of cool. But you can tell something changed about them. The summer they were in that car accident and they killed that family. We are not the starting quarterback. The cheerleaders do not have their perky tits out at home coming for us anymore. Okay. We are having sex with a fat Mexican

Goth girl in the bathroom of the fast food restaurant and we're happy. We're happy for it. Okay. We're using hand sanitizer as a lube. And even though it stings, we're trying to not get aids. Do you understand? We are not in the prime of our life anymore. Okay, or girlfriend doesn't know she's pregnant. And as soon as she finds out, she begins to wildly punch her own stomach. We are not there anymore folks. And if you don't realize that, by the way, you could succeed in life

as long as you have an awareness of who you are and what you are. Anyone in life can succeed. And I'm not doing a hope core content here. Anyone in life can succeed if you have an awareness

If you do not interface with the world as the world sees you, you will never be able to put anything

“together. If America keeps going around the globe like we own it, we're going to get in more disasters.”

It's going to be embarrassing. Our economy is going to collapse. The dwindling amount of allies we have are going to be far fewer. And we need to understand who we are. There's nothing wrong with being any of the people that I mentioned here, any of the people that I've described, there's worse people to be. Okay, you don't have to be the starting quarterback. You don't have to be the truck. You can get by and even thrive as another kid, as another person.

But if you do not realize who you are, you're going to be in deep trouble. So it's one of the reasons I came to London to figure out what's going on here, to just see some friends and chat and get an understanding of what's going on.

“And what's happening, I think, you know, the US dominates the headlight so much, but the UK”

specifically, Britain, has been a major driver of news globally as well because of a lot of the issues around migration, the economy. The summers coming, you know what that means. It's going to be

For 35% off your first month subscription, that's great. All right. We'll end here by talking about the Spencer Pratt, mayoral campaign in LA. I'm agnostic and I'll

tell you why. I don't care what happens to California. I have no investment in Los Angeles. I like it. I would rather it not collapse. It's my investment. Literally. It is the, I've sold my home. I'm in a rental. The other day in my building, a maids backpack vacuum exploded on my floor. She ran out of the building. Didn't tell anyone and the floor went on fire. We opened the fire doors to the elevator. Me and two of my friends, we just saw fire. We ran down 15 flights of stairs.

Frankly, I don't care anymore. I don't care. The state is at the level from Super Mario Brothers where everything is trying to kill you. And I do believe eventually, like anything else, it will get you. They will get you. If you stay in California, it will get you.

I'm not talking about Santa Barbara or Orange County or San Diego. But if you stay in the Los Angeles

area, much like final destination, you will think you have escaped. But no, no, you will be killed by some event. Some car crash, piling up and exploding vacuum, another wildfire, a knife to the neck. Who knows? I'm just telling you right now it's going to get you. One thing I will say, now listen, here's why I'm agnostic. Spencer Pratt is not qualified to man to be the mayor, but he how much worse can it get? How much worse can it get if this guy wins?

Caron Bass Sox. And if you ramen's no good, how much worse could it get with Spencer Pratt?

“Now, by the way, here's the answer. Maybe much worse. I don't know. That's why I'm agnostic. I”

don't care what happens. I don't care. I'm not from there. I like LA. There's moments I love LA, but it's really more of a like. And people are going to do what they're going to do. It's an important city. New York is number one in our country. LA is number two. New York and London are you know, vibe for the top spot globally, Tokyo, New York London, things like that. LA is not in the conversation because of things like this. If elected reality show cameras will roll in the

office. So Spencer Pratt, by the way, this is where if I was on his campaign, I would say listen, you've made some good points. Why are you about to do this? Spencer Pratt can be back to

“reality show biz if he's elected mayor of LA because he signed a contract to document the first”

family of LA. This is the type of thing that shows the problem with him. This is the plot. It's not necessarily that his ideas are bad or that he's wrong about how incompetent corrupt the leadership of Los Angeles says. It's the idea that Pratt inked a deal with LA production company boardwalk pictures to roll cameras as he runs for mayor. The production team is about to begin filming with Spencer, his wife Heidi Montag and their kids throughout this his

political journey. This right here gives you the idea that this man is unfit. You do not need what you do not need to be on another reality show. What's really interesting are sources. And by the way, maybe this is a lie and I don't want to say something may not be true. Our sources he filming would not stop if Spencer gets sworn in office. The contracts specifically provides that the show would go on. So sources say that Heidi Montag and the kids are a big part of their

show. She's living outside LA with the kids in the aftermath of the fires, but Spencer is spending most of his time in LA running for office. If he wins, they'll presumably be living in the mayor's

“mansion in the Hancock Park area of LA. So he's going to be back on reality TV. So that's what's”

going to happen. If he wins, people are going to go, what are you watching and you're going to go the mayor of Los Angeles? I'm watching the government of Los Angeles. Should everybody just be required to be in a reality show? Should every politician just be required to have cameras in every room? Would that decrease corruption? I mean, the cameras eventually will go home. But this gives me an uneasy feeling. The idea that this guy is trying to get back on TV. But by the way,

his ads are amazing. And I don't think he'd be any worse for LA than the other two. That's

not an endorsement because again, I don't care. People are, well, why don't you endorse someone? I don't care. I've cared about that city for years. It does not care back. LA does not care back. You're in a one-sided relationship with that place. It does not care. It does not love you back on any level. Let's watch the ad. I'm begging you. There's homeless drug addicts in part of the schools. My children aren't safe.

I mean, you're spawning. That's already solved in my mind, Dorsar.

You said "rogan" in this? This is hilarious. I wonder if he told Rogan I'm going to use you. I wonder, like, he just goes, I guess I'll, all right, we get it. It's a good ad. And my concerns here, again, with somebody like Spencer Pratt, it's not so much that I think he's wrong. I'm wondering, it would be hilarious if you ran, rebuilt his home in the Palcades, and then just resigned.

“That would be, I'd respect the hell out of that. He goes the only way to get fucking change in this city.”

And to help yourself is to be the actual mayor, and then rebuild his home in the Palcades, and then resign.

But I have no problem with him. I don't care. I did not think about Spencer Pratt for many years.

Up until he was yelling about his home in the Palcades. And I don't think he'll be any worse for Los Angeles, but I could be wrong, but I don't think he will. Whatever's going to happen over there is going to happen. I'm an L.A. fatalist. Whatever's going to happen over there is got I feel nothing when I touch down at L.A. Axe. I mean, nothing. I feel nothing. And, and I like it. I like that feeling, because I'm a drug addict.

And I like the empty feeling, because usually I'm hyped up, and I've crazy energy, and I'm going from one thing to the next.

“As soon as I landed L.A. Axe, I am keenly aware of an emptiness inside myself that cannot be cured.”

I feel absolutely nothing when I land. As I drive through the streets from hell to the beauty of Beverly Hills, again, I feel nothing. It is beyond me. It is beyond my control. I have watched my hands of it. And by the way, for those of you criticizing that, fuck you, you do something about it. I don't care. I have no investment. It would be, here's my level of investment. It would. I look out the window sometimes, and I see a tent, and people crawling around on the street, and I go, it would be nice if this was fixed.

That's my level of investment. I will just look out the window, and I will see horrors beyond your imagination, and I will go, well, it certainly would be nice if someone did something about this, and then I drive. That is my level of investment. There is nothing more to do,

“and it's not much more to say. Maybe the world couple fix it. Maybe the Olympics will fix it.”

Maybe Spencer Pratt's new reality show will fix it. You get the government. You kind of deserve everything. Carlin said that. I don't care anymore. It doesn't really matter to me. I can't care. I can't every minute of the day worry about this. People fight with each other and threads. They're all fighting about the Kevin Hart roast, and this joke, they didn't like this joke, and that joke. I hope Pierce Morgan doesn't ask me nine questions about that. I know he will. I just want to talk

about China. I just want to talk about China. I don't want to. I don't care who's offended by what at the Kevin Hart roast. It doesn't bother me. People can get offended by anything they want, and everyone has to write to their own feelings. I just want to talk about China because we do have to work with China. I'm available for you. Here's the reality. We cannot. You're not going to win in a war with China. You're not going to win in a ground war with China. I don't know what

you're thinking, and can we one more time, please let's bring that up. Let's bring that up, because it just makes me happy. Everyone's in a colorful shirt. Everyone's jumping up and down. They have the American flags. They have Chinese flags. Can you imagine this in Ohio with just these disgusting American children? These little sand teds? They came out of their mother's fentanyl PCs, and they're just trying to jump up and down, but their feet can't leave the ground,

and they're just heaving. They have these little lungs that never got enough air because of the

vape and their mother's smoke cigarettes throughout the whole pregnancy. They're just standing there and they're their little eyes. They're very deep in their heads, and they're jumping up and down, and then just a bunch of immigrant kids as well with them. Many different colors of dysfunctional country, many colors of obesity and disgust. Trying to jump up and down, waving flags,

They're little bug-eyed, raccoon faces going to the trash, picking trash out, trying to eat

“garbage in front of President G. That's what we'd have. That's what we'd have. Our children”

with their little paws, grabbing for their vape's and pills, just a disgusting collection of biological

material, littered on the side of one of our disgusting streets, and the president of China terrified,

staring at these little gremlins, these orcs, these little beasts, these truly American beasts,

“born of sin, and here to devour the world. That's what we'd, and you know what? Now as I described”

that, it actually does sound a little cool. Maybe that's not the worst thing. It might wake him up a little bit. President G. Myko, listen, take Taiwan, you need it.
