from Matthew Perry & A Hamptons Tragedy | The Tim Dillon Show #405 · #405

5 min

Tim ties Ukraine's endless funding needs to Kamala Harris's new proposal to fight price gouging on food, mocking her vague grasp of price controls and comparing the Republican and Democratic war postures to two friends both determined to fight the same kid.

In this bit6 moments
  • Every Ukraine outcome—losing, breaking even, or winning—requires more weapons and money; there's a permanent defense budget column for Ukraine regardless of results.
  • Tim describes the Republican Party needing to tell Israel it can't hang out this weekend because they're going to the lake with his parents.
  • Israel absolutely has the right to defend itself against Hamas and exact a price for the October 10 attack, but ten months later there are 45,000 killed and a massive humanitarian crisis.
  • Trump wins the election tomorrow if he commits to not stationing U.S. troops in post-war Gaza for reconstruction and security.
  • The U.S. shouldn't be bombing Iran or having a war there unless Iran threatens vital American interests.
  • Kamala promises cheaper food by putting price controls on it, but she doesn't actually know what price controls are.
