Tim plays and reacts incredulously to a JD Vance interview clip where Vance says he's doing God's work and is fine with it leading to "the end times," riffing extensively on the insanity of a vice president being so casual about the apocalypse, likening it to a pilot warning passengers the plane might crash.
