Tim argues health care is a better reason to pay taxes than foreign wars, calls the war on terror a fake 'school play for billionaires,' and says the Supreme Court's real function is protecting corporate interests behind the cover of social-issue debates.
- Tim's election take: if Trump wins he'll notice, if Biden and Kamala win he'll notice, and if things are burning he'll drive away or get beaten to death in the street.
- The political war people are fighting isn't real—it exists only on computers.
- Politics is a school play for billionaires while ordinary people waste time getting invested in it.
- Tim wants apathy to win the election, noting that when people stopped caring it was because their caring did nothing.
- On abortion and the Supreme Court: Tim doesn't know what effect anyone thinks they're having with their activism.
- The Supreme Court's real job is protecting multinational corporation interests, which gets obscured by debate over social issues like transition and gender.
- Tim asks the audience to get politics out of their heads and enjoy the descent instead.
