- Putin doesn't have a content strategy, which is why his military might doesn't translate to power in the digital age.
- America does content well—that's the one thing the country has going for it while billionaires pillage the economy and crime spirals.
- Tim jokes he hopes Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset because at least she's making content and having a career in the business.
- Jen Saki is an idiot—Tim suggests the White House should have a fun Black woman as press secretary instead of the pale white ginger.
- Thirty top TikTok stars gathered on a Zoom call with the National Security Council and Jen Saki to brief them on Ukraine strategy.
- Tim imagines what questions teenage TikTok influencers might ask national security officials—whether Ukraine is a cosmetics brand sponsor.
