Tim defends Tulsi Gabbard against 'traitor' accusations for talking to Assad, contrasts it with old Bush-era diplomacy rhetoric, and mocks the claim that Iran plotted to assassinate Trump as illogical.
- The fantasy of turning Afghanistan into a functioning democracy through military intervention lasted 20 years and destroyed countless lives.
- Tim criticizes the left's hypocrisy: they demanded diplomacy with foreign leaders, then attacked Tulsi Gabbard as a traitor for actually sitting down with Assad.
- The current political class flip-flopped on the loyalty-to-country test: Republicans demanded unwavering support in the 2000s, now Democrats do the same.
- Tim argues there are no real political parties anymore, just a unified group serving weapons manufacturers and financial backers regardless of which side they're nominally on.
