He argues it's hypocritical for people to support open borders for migrants but criticize comedians entertaining people in their home countries like Saudi Arabia, name-checking Omar Fateh in Minneapolis.
- Tim pitches a Saudi comedy festival as doing good for the people and moving the country in a great direction, then admits he's mainly in it for the money.
- Sometimes in life you have to take the money and look the other way, even if it means reversing progress and licensing worse treatment of people.
- On 9/11: Tim says it was a long time ago and who knows what happened, acknowledges involvement from many parties but won't pin it on one group.
- Responding to critics of the Saudi festival: Tim's position is fuck off because no one cares about the backlash.
- Democrats almost elected the guy from Captain Phillips but invented some scam to get him out of the race, meaning Omar Fata or whoever.
- Tim's contradiction: you want open borders for everyone in the world to come into America, but you can't accept comedians entertaining them where they actually live?
- Especially when they live in a luxurious place—why would anyone subscribe to that logic unless they're just jealous about the money being made?
