Discussion of whether the country would be different under Hillary, followed by Tim's metaphor of America being suspended like a car hanging off a cliff since Trump's election, and Bannon's revolution rhetoric.
- Tim outlines what Hillary would need to say to win: border killings, concentration camps, Medicare-for-all, and a wall in China.
- Most things wouldn't be that different under Hillary; she'd lob more missiles in Syria but the economy would track similarly.
- Tim compares the current political moment to a car suspended off a cliff—nothing's happening but nothing's resolved since Trump was elected.
- Bannon is either a liar or a fool for claiming revolution would happen if nothing changed, then knowing it won't.
- The broader realization: we're at the brink of accepting there's nothing we can do to change the status quo.
- Tim proposes dating David Hogg, then pivots to a bit imagining what Hogg does for fun.
- Tim performs a fake seduction of David Hogg as a bit, escalating into absurd territory about guns.
- Tim notes he sends dark material to his producer Ban, who finds it funny but worries whether it should air outside Patreon.
