PIERS MORGAN (HOST): What's been your Trump journey arc from, from when he was, you know, doing The Apprentice, I was on it, won it with him, to then becoming a politician, then winning that 2016 election, then coming out and then winning again?
TIM DILLON (GUEST): I think there's, there's-- the mass migration of people from one place to another is the biggest issue of our time. Whether people wanna admit it or not, not everybody talks about it in an eloquent way, but it is the biggest issue of our time. How to assimilate people into an existing economic, political, cultural sphere is very difficult. Trump came out and talked about that issue, and again, in a way that offended a lot of people and drove a lot of people crazy. It's a big issue in the UK. Farage is about to potentially win with this issue, right? So he came out, and to me it was very interesting because the working class in the United States, and I think the working class here feels like they've fallen behind tremendously. And if you look at cities like London and New York, a lot of people are buying property that don't even live there. It's a boon for luxury real estate. It's a boon for finance. But really, people that, you know, are, you know, British born of all races, of all religions, but have called this country home forever, feel like they're losing ground. That was happening in the United States. Trump gave a voice to that which no one else had. He also gave a voice to this idea that going around the world and wasting money on pointless, unwinnable, largely Middle Eastern wars was bankrupting America, saddling our children with debt. These were his two main salient points.
MORGAN: Have you voted for him at all?
DILLON: I didn't vote in the last, no, I didn't vote. I was in Texas doing a podcast with Joe Rogan. And I'm--I'm registered in New York, so I was there election day in New York, your vote doesn't really matter.
MORGAN: Would you have voted for him?
DILLON: Probably, yeah. I think he--certainly the last time. I think Kamala Harris and Biden were a disaster. I believe that. But again, this turn to Iran, to interventionism to me feels like the biggest betrayal of a political movement I've ever seen in my life.
