Tim and Ray discuss the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, joking darkly about conspiracy theories involving the DNC and Clinton wanting him 'whacked,' plus a tangent about the earlier death of 9/11 conspiracy author Philip Marshall.
- 44:50A DNC staffer working a normal day registering voters gets shot in the head by someone who feels bad about it and doesn't rob him.
- 45:21Tim questions the logic of a shooting in DC that leaves the wallet and watch untouched.
- 45:34Tim clarifies he never said he was against whacking the DNC staffer.
- 46:37Philip Marshall wrote 9/11 conspiracy books, then he and his kids and dog all ended up dead in California—suicide, murder, suicide—it's all weird.
- 46:59Tim defends the CIA in the Marshall killing: Marshall flew drugs for Barry Seal, made his money that way, and maybe shouldn't have been running his mouth about the Saudis.
- 47:58Seth Rich was 27, worked for the DNC, and was shot with no witnesses at 4:20 AM.
- 48:24Tim and Dana debate whether people actually go out at 4:20 in the morning to smoke weed.
- 49:11There had been a string of robberies in the area, but they didn't rob Rich.
- 49:44Reddit theories claimed Rich was going to the FBI with more documents, but Tim says the FBI is in the pocket anyway.
- 50:34If you're going to be president and some staffer is going to dump emails at the feds, of course you're going to have him whacked—that's just politics.
