5 minTim muses on whether widespread declassification of government secrets would cause societal chaos, and jokes about how it would play out if Bush and Cheney held a press conference admitting they planned 9/11, comparing it to bombing on stage as a comedian.
- 34:51Tim imagines George W. Bush and Dick Cheney confessing on live television that they planned 9/11.
- 35:29The confession bit is compared to bombing material in stand-up—digging yourself into a hole you can't get out of.
- 36:02Even if Bush and Cheney admitted it, they could try to justify 9/11 by pivoting to Saddam Hussein and pipeline access.
- 36:19In fifty years when everyone's dead, the real truth will probably surface as a vague online blurb about Saudi Arabia.
- 36:37Shift to Seth Rich: a DNC staffer shot in what police called a botched robbery, despite his wallet and valuables left untouched.
- 37:06A cop Tim spoke to explained that botched robberies happen—robbers get nervous and flee empty-handed.
- 37:21Julian Assange hinted that WikiLeaks sources face great risks, implying Seth Rich may have been leaking DNC emails.
- 38:05Fox News ran the story, citing private investigator Rod Wheeler attached to Breitbart, framing him as an ideologue.
- 38:29Tim pictures the private eye as a guy in the Florida Keys eating conch fritters, drinking rum, and casually throwing beer cans at alligators.
- 38:46Fox later claimed an unnamed FBI source said Seth Rich had committed malfeasance or was involved in something.
