Tim and Katie each articulate their competing political anxieties: a protest backlash re-electing Trump, versus a Biden administration being pressured to install 'illiberal liberal' identitarian appointees, citing Elizabeth Warren's LGBTQ town hall stunt with a child vetting the Education Secretary.
- Tim worries the current protests could trigger a backlash that gets Donald Trump elected.
- Orange man is bad, but Tim notes a bungling idiot president who can't get anything done doesn't bother him much.
- Fox News anchor was told Lincoln's freeing of the slaves was "mixed," forcing him to correct that enslaved people were actually freed.
- Trump is holding a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma—site of a Black massacre—on Juneteenth.
- Tim is also concerned that if Joe Biden wins, the pressure to appoint woke critical theorists to his cabinet will entrench bad ideology in government.
- Critical race theory in education systems focuses everything on race, which Tim thinks makes resentful white people respond negatively rather than building solidarity.
- Elizabeth Warren said at an LGBTQ town hall that she'd let a nine-year-old trans kid vet her next Secretary of Education.
- That Warren pledge was simultaneously a campaign ad for Trump and insane on its face—children shouldn't dictate cabinet picks regardless of how trans they are.
