More Trump hurricane audio is played, with Tim criticizing the inappropriateness of a political rally during a disaster, then pivoting to skepticism about donating to the Red Cross versus trusted local charities.
- 21:18Trump holding a political rally in the middle of a natural disaster, standing on a truck with emergency vehicles and security nearby, is wildly inappropriate.
- 21:53The people showing up with signs to support Trump despite him ramping up troops in Afghanistan, failing to build the wall, and not helping his base demonstrates exhausting energy.
- 22:45Trump's speech at the rally immediately boasts about the crowd size and turnout rather than acknowledging the ongoing hurricane and rainfall records.
- 23:42Tim suggests they should express sympathy to people affected by the hurricane and apologize instead of celebrating crowd numbers.
- 23:58Tim donates ten dollars to a trusted charity rather than the Red Cross and recommends others do the same.
- 24:18Skepticism about where charity donations actually go—whether they reach hurricane relief or get diverted elsewhere months later.
- 24:35Donating to charity is ultimately about making yourself feel better, comparable to the cost and effect of a Percocet.
