Comedian and podcast host Tim Dillon torched Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard and accused her of hollow theatrics after she issued a dramatic warning about nuclear war – all while failing to call out the “political elites” she claims are dragging the world to the brink.
Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman turned President Donald Trump’s intelligence chief, posted a video on June 10 following her visit to Hiroshima, where she blasted “elites” and “warmongers” who she claimed are “carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.”
The video warned the U.S. is “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before” as Gabbard warned elites were preparing bunkers while leaving ordinary citizens exposed.
After rolling part of the video, Dillon paused it, unimpressed, and accused Gabbard of speaking in riddles.
You’re in the thing now. This is what these people have to stop doing. I understand that you’re going against the deep state. Get her out of here. And this is some free advice. I know that she watches sometimes. So I’m with you, sister, friend – Aloha! – but you’re in the thing, you got to start calling people out. Name names. Stop this fucking footsie with the bullshit here.
Though Dillon said he “liked” Gabbard, he made clear his patience had run out with performative outrage from those in office and that being in office meant the “dark forces” they’d raged
If people are trying to start a nuclear war – arrest them. Tell us who they are. I know it’s more complicated than this, but here’s the deal: you can’t have the benefit of the doubt anymore if you’re in the thing. I know, you go, ‘That’s a permanent government, they operate in the shadows.’ I know. I cannot hear these ominous warnings from people in the fucking government. Figure it out. Stop these people, these dark forces, these powerful factions stop them. It’s literally what you’re elected to do. It’s literally what you were elected to do and our president baby cakes is about to go into Iran with Israel and hopefully that works, but like who are these dark forces? Like can we shine some light on this because I’m just a little tired of, like, all of these people. They got elected and they just can’t say anything. They just can speak and can’t utter anything and they’re all probably terrified. Maybe they’ll get killed, but that’s your job.If you’re going to get whacked for saying the truth, you better say the truth and get whacked. That’s what you got elected to do. You didn’t get elected to write a book or to go out clubbing or whatever
the hell you’re all doing. You didn’t get elected to go on Don Jr.’s podcast, you got elected to tell us what the fuck was going on. So you either don’t know what’s going on and that’s okay, then shut up or if you know what is going on, and you for whatever reason cannot tell everybody, then, shut up as well. Come to us with something.
He mocked that the fog of coded warnings and selective outrage from Trump appointees was starting to look less like resistance to the deep state they promised to overthrow and more like complicity.
It’s starting to feel really shady… It’s like a show. Kind of theatrical. But it doesn’t feel real. And it feels like the people in there, for whatever reason, are either unwilling, useful idiots being used by other people, or they’re complicit in participating in whatever this is… I like Tulsi. But I’m saying like, when [Dan] Bongino and Kash [Patel] and all these people are out that are supposedly, you know, they have the keys to the kingdom and yet they don’t. And what are we all supposed to do here? What are people supposed to just go on vibes?
He continued:
We’re on the verge of war with Iran. What the fuck is happening? You people were elected to clean this shit up. I don’t
understand. Do Ukraine and Russia still blow the shit out of each other? China’s about to swallow Taiwan. I mean, somebody? I don’t understand any of it.
In a final outburst Dillon doubled down:
If you have nothing to say, don’t say anything. These interviews they’re all doing where they all come out and they’re speaking in code… ‘Well, if I knew, then you’d know.’ ‘If I had it, then you’d have it.’ We’re close to nuclear annihilation. Guys – all of this stuff, whatever it is. Maybe you’re all hostages. You don’t know anything. I don’t care. Just stop.
