Tim reviews Katie Porter's new campaign ad where she stands in a river wearing a gas mask decrying pollution and chemicals, joking she looks like Bane, recalling her prior viral meltdown at staff, and arguing that environmental issues never actually motivate voters.
- Katie Porter reemerges in a gas mask standing in the middle of a river for her political comeback ad.
- Tim argues Katie Porter looks best when wearing the gas mask and should never take it off to win the race.
- Katie Porter's new strategy: focus on environmental issues because people run away from her in person like she's a bear in a campsite.
- The environmental ad emphasizes the cost of doing nothing versus the cost of cleanup, but Tim dismisses it as ineffective.
- Tim claims that in 41 years on earth, he's never seen people actually care about environmental issues, no matter how dire.
- People only care about toxic environments if they directly affect their own yard; everyone ignores cancer clusters in other towns.
- Tim describes driving through desert communities with toxic industrial waste and realizing he completely stopped thinking about it.
- Tim suggests Katie Porter should abandon the cancer-in-the-river message and instead talk about drug addicts eating people's legs at crime scenes.
- Growing up on Long Island, people never cared about beach erosion—only the Gilgo Beach serial killer got attention, not environmental issues.
- When news reports break that an entire town has cancer, people's response is simply 'I don't live there,' then move on.
- Katie Porter can stand in a river with a Bane mask screaming about carcinogens, but it won't actually motivate anyone to care.
