Tim breaks down video of Tim Walz avoiding a reporter's question about six hostages found dead in Gaza to go eat ice cream, arguing Walz is a scripted, controlled political puppet who can't answer basic questions without permission from donors.

In this bit12 moments
  • Tim Walz ignores dead hostage question to eat ice cream at the state fair.
  • Walz's brother says he's a pathological liar who didn't serve in the war and hasn't spoken to him for 8 years.
  • Tim admits the last thing he'd want to do while eating ice cream is talk about hostages.
  • Walz can't simply say it's terrible—he needs talking points from his handlers about the dead hostages.
  • This is the simplest question ever asked of a politician, and Walz cannot answer it because he doesn't know what the DNC wants him to say.
  • The goal isn't to end these wars—ending conflicts is not part of the agenda.
  • Netanyahu doesn't want the war to end because he's avoiding corruption charges and investigations into October 7th intelligence failures.
  • Walz, unlike a sharp politician like Josh Shapiro, is cast as a folksy next-door guy but still receives billionaire directives.
  • Vote for whoever you want—the point is Walz is the same thing everyone's always had, receiving edicts from billionaires.
  • Tim is fascinated by political theater and how politicians are branded as simple American dads while taking orders from their wealthy backers.
  • Trump doesn't seem super controlled, but both candidates have backers with interests they won't openly go against.
  • Tim mocks Walz for appearing to look for billionaires to tell him what to think about dead kids.
