Pizzagate, Pedophile Accusations, and Owen Benjamin's Hollywood Claims

• 22:41Tim argues that comedians making jokes about pedophilia doesn't make them pedophiles.
• 23:07The dynamic between Hollywood and the right creates toxic mutual accusations: Trump voters are called Nazis, Hollywood people called pedophiles and Satanists.
• 24:01Tim criticizes right-wing figures for pushing Pizzagate instead of covering Nick Bryant's work on the actual Franklin scandal involving real victims.
• 24:28Failed comedians increasingly turn to far-left or far-right politics because it's easier to build an audience through rage than through comedy.
• 25:20Politics attracts people who want to be riled up and directed toward anger, making it much easier than the genuine difficulty of making people laugh.
• 26:13Owen Benjamin claims he sacrificed a major Hollywood career, but Tim notes Owen was just managed by CAA with a pilot and two specials.
• 26:57Tim describes Owen Benjamin's supposed involvement in Hollywood's inner workings as absurd given his actual level of access and participation.
• 27:20Tim's position: don't pretend to be a Hollywood insider exposing secrets if you were never actually part of that world in the first place.
