The Tim Dillon Show

478 - ICE In Minnesota & Venezuela Without Maduro

10 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What recent event in Minneapolis sparked a discussion about ICE?

0.706 - 36.231 Tim Dillon

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. You know, we will get into it here. The news, the news. This is one of those weeks, you know, some of the weeks are easier than others because they lend themselves to being a silly billy. You can be a little goofy. But this week feels heavier, you know, because of the whole, the killing thing.

36.903 - 65.374 Tim Dillon

And I do have this mocha, this kind of ice-blended drink, and I feel like this is going to make it seem like I'm not taking it seriously because for the simple fact that it has whipped cream on top of it, but that's how it comes. It's from the coffee bean and tea leaf, which interestingly enough, and I will get to the killing, coffee bean and tea leaf was mismanaged. It could have been...

0

66.113 - 96.937 Tim Dillon

Maybe it never could have been as big as Starbucks, but it was bought by a private equity company, and they focused on these weird Asian teas and these weird mango drinks, and then Filipinos got into it, and that was kind of the end. But this... This... Mocha blend, I think, is better than the Frappuccino because they use cocoa powder.

0

101.102 - 135.93 Tim Dillon

And that, to me, they focused a lot on the tea and kind of tropical island concoctions. You know, and it's like, how many people want that? And apparently not a lot. Not a lot of them. Like every now and then you'll see somebody get real excited about a mango tea or something. But for the most part, that's not what it is. So I don't want you seeing this coffee bean tea leaf ice blended.

0

135.95 - 161.446 Tim Dillon

And they're not sponsoring the show either. Let me get ahead of that. I've gotten not a dollar from the people at the coffee bean and tea leaf about this. But as I consume this, And there will be a moment where I'll take the top off because I do like to kind of eat the whipped cream before it deflates. But I will discuss this while I'm doing that.

163.149 - 181.115 Tim Dillon

And I'll try not to have this happen, but if there is a situation where there's whipped cream on my nose while I'm doing this... It's not... You know what I mean? This isn't... I'm not doing a thing. I'm just... I'm doing my best so that that doesn't happen.

181.836 - 194.693 Tim Dillon

But there is a chance that... There is a chance that'll happen and then I'm going to look ridiculous because I have whipped cream on my nose from this coffee blended beverage and I'm trying to make points.

Chapter 2: How did Nicolás Maduro's situation in Venezuela change recently?

196.575 - 226.186 Tim Dillon

And I don't want people to... Get upset at that. Or if I spill it on myself, if there's any of it, if any of it gets on me while I'm making these points and there's whipped cream on me, if I spill it on myself, then I don't want people going, look how ridiculous he looks. Now I'm not going to listen to anything this guy has to say because he has this mocha ice blend.

0

226.446 - 257.43 Tim Dillon

You know what's another problem with the coffee bean tea leaf? The name. The name. Ice blended. Frappuccino is a better name. This happens all the time. Where two companies will have a similar product. One of them is Cold Stone. Better name than Marble Slab Creamery. Some of those names are too on the nose. We know it's ice blended. That sounds crazy to say. Look, it's Marble Slab Creamery.

0

257.871 - 272.008 Tim Dillon

But when you say Cold Stone, it just has more of a ring to it. I'm not stalling either. I'm going to talk about that.

0

Chapter 3: What are the implications of ICE operations on local communities?

276.072 - 323.364 Tim Dillon

I'm going to go into it. All right, so... Minnesota. Cold, cold place. I went, I've performed there a bunch. The people that come out to see me are, I appreciate them. All of them. And I love them. I don't love them. I don't know. Why would I say I love them? I don't love them. I don't know them. I don't care. But it's an area that I've gone and it's been good to me. Not great.

0

324.305 - 350.647 Tim Dillon

Other places are better. Chicago, Boston, whatever. But it's fine. I do one of those casinos there with Native American... You know, one of those. Where it's a Native American thing. And I'm happy to be a part of the healing journey that we're all kind of on in this country. Or we should be on. Kind of healing and learning. So I feel like I'm a part of that.

0

351.729 - 383.468 Tim Dillon

When I go to one of those casinos in Minnesota. And... And I do a show there. I feel like it's a good, it's a good, it's a step in the right direction. Because there's a lot of steps in the wrong direction. And we're going to talk about them. The other thing is a coffee bean never got into food. Starbucks got into food. They started doing little sandwiches, little egg bites.

0

384.511 - 411.389 Tim Dillon

Those sous vide egg bites were a thing. And a lot of people were doing high-protein diet, keto-type diets. So the sous vide egg bite, huge. Those sandwiches that you heat up, those little protein, you know, the egg and the cheese, the protein pack, Minnesota. Listen, there's a lot. Now I'm going to open this up because the whipped cream is deflating.

0

411.949 - 449.711 Tim Dillon

And the whipped cream is kind of the point of the drink. You know, I'm not laughing at what is happening. Obviously, it's crazy. What about these daycares? All right, that's another story. That's another story. There's this woman in her car. She's a lesbian poet. This is the story. I'm not even doing anything. I'm not even doing anything. I'm literally saying the story.

Chapter 4: What concerns are raised about the effectiveness of ICE?

451.613 - 471.994 Tim Dillon

And then you have ICE and who the hell are they? We don't even know. These are people that like answered an ad on Craigslist. I mean, we, you don't even, I mean, these people, who is joining ICE? I mean, these people are so shot. The people who are joining ICE are so shot. You know, they just, they don't have anything going on.

0

472.278 - 490.461 Tim Dillon

These are people who like a mole threw out because they like, they couldn't do like security at a mall. They like, you know, I don't know what they did, but they're out now. They maybe attacked a child or something. So I don't know who's, you know, these are, they got ice in there.

0

491.743 - 519.918 Tim Dillon

And ice is going, I don't know what's happening in Minnesota either, but I get there because of the Somalis and the daycare. That there's, that's why there's more ice there now than there was. Because there's a federal investigation into the daycares. Because the kid did the thing with the daycares. Okay. Which, whatever. I don't know. What am I investigating? I'm sure there's fraud.

0

519.958 - 549.384 Tim Dillon

There's a lot of fraud everywhere. But I'm sure there is fraud there. I'm sure there's something there. And we've talked about that, you know. But I'm not like boots on the ground in Minnesota going to daycares finding out where the kids are. You know what I mean? Like I'm not, this is not part of my job as whatever I'm doing here. I don't even know what I'm doing.

0

549.404 - 579.37 Tim Dillon

But whatever I'm doing, I'm not in the, I'm not in like... Hello? Hello? I don't even know their name. What's a Somali name? I don't even know what a Somali name is. You know, whatever I say will sound racist, but I don't know. I know Mogadishu is in Somalia from Black Hawk Down. So let's say one of them is named that. Hello, are you Mogadishu? Where are the children?

582.05 - 603.855 Tim Dillon

That's my impression of me doing it. If I was doing it, that's what I would have said. I only said their name was Mogadishu because I don't know any other Somali words. Now, so they got the daycares going and they're probably skimming a little. I mean, they're coming here. A lot of groups of people come here and they go, I mean, the Italians did it, you know.

605.388 - 625.719 Tim Dillon

You know, the Italians did the mafia. The Irish, you know, like got drunk and just hit people, hit women. But a lot of those Irish women that were hitting, let's be honest. But what I'm saying is this. It's not, you got some fraud. You got some fraud.

Chapter 5: How does Tim Dillon critique the current state of law enforcement?

626.46 - 667.796 Tim Dillon

You got some fraud. You got some fraud. Like I can imagine like the DHS or whatever being like, you've listed one of the children's names as Jiminy Cricket. So this woman, Mowgli. So this woman is a lesbian poet and she supposedly is like, and then you have ice. This is a bad mix. Yes. I couldn't think, and I'm not, could you think of a worse mix than a lesbian poet in ice?

0

669.238 - 696.032 Tim Dillon

That's not a fun, is that a fun, is that a fun holiday party? Is that a fun holiday party? We could have the lesbian poet in ice all together in a house? Not my house. I don't want that. I don't want that. I don't want that in my house. because it would be, it's a combustible mix. That lesbian poet is, she's like anti-ice.

0

698.115 - 721.371 Tim Dillon

And we've all, I've been really consistent here with the fact that I believe we need a border and a country, and I don't think we can have an open border. It's not realistic. It's not, I mean, I just don't understand why anyone thinks that would work. If anyone can explain to me why they think that would work, whereas we just keep bringing people in.

0

721.892 - 747.107 Tim Dillon

The people here are doing terribly, but we just keep bringing people in. But I also think these, like, ICE raids, which are kind of performative and cruel and a bit psychotic, are not doing this administration any favors. They are... I think they're making people...

0

748.37 - 781.95 Tim Dillon

Less concerned with immigration enforcement because they're equating all immigration enforcement to these random brutal raids where you see people that have been here 30 years like hogtied and thrown into a van. But I do think there's a lot of people that trend to Agua gang, that Venezuelan gang, people like that. We have our own gangs. We don't want to bring in other gangs. Seems crazy.

782.671 - 811.798 Tim Dillon

So I get it. Some people have to go. So you have this lesbian poet. Then you have ICE. And then you have this video. Now this video is the sticking point. Do we have the video, John? Can we get the video? This video is the sticking point. Here's what I'm doing with this video. I'm showing it to children to try to get their... Thoughts on it. Because every adult I know has a bias.

813.861 - 837.814 Tim Dillon

Every adult I know has a bias one way or the other. But if you show this thing to a five-year-old, they got to be less than 10. Around 10, they start developing a political identity now. So around 10 or 11, they all start going, well, of course. You know, and you're like, what do you mean? You know, around 11, they start going, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. You're like, wait, hold on.

Chapter 6: What insights does Tim provide about media consumption and its effects?

838.535 - 862.13 Tim Dillon

Wait a minute. You know? Or they'll just go, fuck pigs. You don't know which way it's going to go. You got to get them around that 6'7 age. 6'7, like you got to get them when they're just, they're trolling a little. So you got to get them pre-troll. But you show this. My godson is five years old. I showed it to him. Like, you got to show this video to children who don't have a political.

0

862.15 - 885.54 Tim Dillon

And by the way, that's what we're going to have to decide most stuff in the country. We're going to have to decide most stuff in the country by showing it to children who do not have a psychotic political allegiance yet. And they'll have to get younger and younger because the kids will get radicalized to the point where my five-year-old godson will be radicalized soon.

0

885.981 - 913.174 Tim Dillon

Then you'll have to go show it to a three-year-old. You'll have to start showing these videos to infants. And just based on their eye movement and if they can lift their hand where they point to, you'll have to make to sit because everyone... Everyone approaches this now with so much baggage and anger. Justifiable anger. This woman got shot in the head. I think I didn't have to do it.

0

913.254 - 931.5 Tim Dillon

I don't... You watched the video. Was it smart for her to accelerate or try to get away and not obey his command? Well, clearly not. She's dead. But was he... Did he feel like he was going to die if he didn't shoot her three times in the face? I don't believe that. He's shooting her from the side of the car in a window. But...

0

932.662 - 955.535 Tim Dillon

I had to have all of that explained to me by a six-year-old at the Cheesecake Factory who was eating with his parents. And I said, do you mind if I show your son a video of what happened in Minnesota? And they said, yeah, that's fine. And I go, I want to get a read on this. They go, yeah, he's pretty good with stuff like this. I go, this isn't going to like, he won't have nightmares or anything.

955.555 - 967.186 Tim Dillon

They go, he doesn't really care. And I explained to him, I said, listen, I want to show you a video. I'm not going to tell you anything about it. What's the deal? And then he said to me, listen, it's just literally word for word.

967.226 - 996.013 Tim Dillon

He said, it is clear from this video that while she may or may not have been engaged in obstructing ISIS operations, which would be maybe laudable depending on your point of view, but unlawful, clearly. He said, but from this video, we can see that that the acceleration does not get to the point where the officer fears for his life enough to justifiably shoot her three times in the face.

997.935 - 1021.616 Tim Dillon

And then I said, thank you. And he goes, no problem. And that's, I had to literally find a child at the Cheesecake Factory who had not developed a political identity yet. Everyone in our country has a political identity. No one's interesting. By the way, you don't want to spend time with anyone. No one.

Chapter 7: How does the conversation shift to Netflix's controversial content decisions?

1022.537 - 1045.182 Tim Dillon

I mean, truly. The internet has made everything so uncool. No offense to Mr. Beast. I look at that Beast Games thing he did and all the people that came out to see it. I mean, it couldn't be less cool. It couldn't be less cool. I don't know what that is. And I'm sure it's interesting. I don't know what he's got people doing Hunger Games stuff. I don't care. I'm not begrudging. You know, whatever.

0

1045.222 - 1074.796 Tim Dillon

His success got blasted. But it couldn't look less cool. It looks like the mathletes. It looks like a club you wouldn't join in high school. And that's what tech has done. And that guy's the most successful person in the world. It's like Mr. Beast and Peter Thiel are the two... They're like the two people who are the most successful. But my point is that everyone has a political identity.

0

1075.697 - 1113.908 Tim Dillon

And that identity... The facts on the ground don't matter. It doesn't matter. You know, everybody's values are incredibly fluid depending on what they think happens, what they think an event says about their ideology or You know, so you see a lot of people that are justifiably angry at the successive use of force. You're not going to get a murder conviction. You won't. You just won't.

0

1114.049 - 1151.894 Tim Dillon

Reasonable doubt. You won't get it. Whatever. You can call it murder. It is murder. I mean, he murdered her. I don't know. You'll never get a conviction. A drug dealer sells them with drugs. They die. You can say it's murder. It's murder. But you'll never get, you know, here, I don't think you'll get a conviction on that. We'll be right back. giving you peace of mind while it grows.

Offers subject to terms and conditions. But everyone wants a civil war on all sides. Everyone on the internet is trying to... Like make a civil war happen And like Everyone Everyone's trying to like Whipped cream? Where? I got it I told you it was going to happen I literally said it was going to happen In the beginning of the show This is so much better than the frappuccino Fuck the Frappuccino.

0

1248.057 - 1275.733 Tim Dillon

How about that? Anyway, the Civil War is, we're trying to avoid that. We're trying to avoid that. We're finally doing good stuff. We got Maduro. We captured him and we're stealing their oil. Listen, I mean, you might not like it. It might not help you, but it should, if gas doesn't come down, gas has got to come down. Gas has got to come down.

0

1276.557 - 1297.54 Tim Dillon

Because now we're doing the thing, and everybody's said this already. Obviously, this is not my, like, I'm late to this train. But, you know, it's pretty widely accepted now that we just, we went in there to steal the oil. No one's even pretending that we're doing anything else. We're just, this is our thing. So the price of oil has to come down.

0

1299.642 - 1325.959 Tim Dillon

If we're going to kidnap a guy, which was clearly some deal, someone sold him out, obviously, right? But if that shit's going to happen, we're going to do stuff like that. The thing, the commodity that it is linked to has to come down. It has to come down. It has to come down. The American people, because it's already happened, by the way.

1326.019 - 1351.288 Tim Dillon

You can debate whether you like or don't like that we do these things, but it doesn't matter anymore. No one cares anymore. This is really just... The executive is the only branch government that's only like... That's the only one that's kind of like halfway functioning. No one cares. Congress or whatever. Supreme Court. I mean, stop.

1353.01 - 1383.205 Tim Dillon

You're just going to wake up and hear about different people we've kidnapped. You'll just wake up and hear about it. You'll just wake up and they'll be like, they just... They got the president of Panama. You go, what? They go, yeah, they got him. He was skiing. They got him when he was skiing? Yeah, he got to the bottom of the hill. They just got him. Oh.

1384.466 - 1406.052 Tim Dillon

And then you got to find out, what do they grow there? Well, what do we get? What do we get? I mean, Colombia, we get blow. We get coffee. Like, what do we get? What is the product that is less expensive because we have kidnapped the leader of that country? Truly.

1406.152 - 1435.285 Tim Dillon

I mean, that's how we're going to, that's how we will survive for the next few years until it's a World War III, which seems to be months, if not years away, like... It's coming, but before that, we will kidnap a bunch of people and try to bring down the cost of things. You know? And you might not even know.
