Tim rants angrily about an Iowa City theater sending an apologetic email over booking him, defending his actual statements on vaccines and Black Lives Matter, and mocking Iowa's outsized political importance via the Iowa caucus before signing off.
- Iowa City theater sent an apology email for booking Tim, claiming audience members were offended by his statements.
- Tim clarifies he never told people not to get vaccinated, only that they should make their own choices.
- Tim addresses the Black Lives Matter accusation: he criticized the organization's leader for buying four houses with funds.
- The theater people are pseudo-intellectual embarrassments living in Iowa, according to Tim.
- Tim is angry about the email and looking for other venues, unsure what he'll do about the show.
- No one is actually mad online—Tim can't find any angry comments on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
- Iowa's only relevance is the Democratic caucus, where politicians pretend to care about corn-fed voters.
- The Iowa caucus requires residents to publicly debate and convince each other instead of a secret ballot.
- Tim is in a one-sided war with the theater, which won't cancel because they need money from ticket sales.
- Despite the conflict, Tim will still perform in Iowa.
