Tim and Ben play and react to a campaign ad for LA city council candidate Eunisses Hernandez, covering her platform on police abolition, gentrification, and sentencing reform.
- Tim's tangent: hipster fashion and comedy changed Highland Park neighborhoods, people wore weird hats and did hipster dances that he didn't enjoy.
- Tim agrees with Eunisses Hernandez on gentrification and community issues but doubts abolishing police and sending social workers to violent crimes is workable.
- Tim accuses Patrice Cullors, one of Hernandez's endorsers from Black Lives Matter, of buying four houses with movement money instead of helping the cause.
- He argues police need retraining and different accountability standards rather than abolition, and agrees with cannabis decriminalization and prison reform.
- Tim warns that bail reform creates problems when released inmates commit new crimes, so criminal justice changes require nuance rather than blanket release policies.
