Tim mocks Billie Eilish's Wall Street Journal speech about billionaires giving away money, questioning the low percentage of charity donations that reach actual causes and calling out the hypocrisy of a millionaire lecturing billionaires, then contrasts it with Stephen Colbert announcing her $1.5 million donation.
- Tim calls Billie Eilish "Silly Isish" and mocks her sighing musical style.
- She's a rich kid from LA lecturing billionaires at the Wall Street Journal, but won't lecture millionaires because she is one.
- Saying bad things about billionaires is the least risky thing you can say or do in public.
- Tim questions how brave she was to speak at the Wall Street Journal while receiving an award for donating $11 million.
- Most charities send only 10% or less to actual people, despite claims that reputable ones aim for 70-90%.
- Billie Eilish donated $11.5 million to food banks, climate change, and food inequity causes.
- Her speech: "If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" and "Give your money away, shorties."
- Tim finds it pathetic how people are glazing her for criticizing billionaires while she herself is wealthy.
- She waits until after receiving the award to tell billionaires to give their money away—why not speak up beforehand?
- Steven Coeur announced her $11.5 million donation on behalf of Billie Eilish at the awards.
