Tim mocks Philadelphia Inquirer coverage painting the beheading as a symptom of "white male meltdown" tied to anti-Taylor Swift sentiment, contrasting how media dismisses people with menial jobs and connects mental illness to the crime.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim criticizes the media for always being negative, noting they're starving and laying off staff while writing about jobs like working at Jersey Mike's or call centers.
  • Justin Mohn blamed affirmative action for his struggles living in his parents' house in his 30s despite being overeducated.
  • Tim explains that schizophrenics do crazy things because they're schizophrenics, but mental illness doesn't justify evil behavior—Mohn was a psychopath who beheaded his father.
  • People write weird manifestos with various political and cultural grievances, and critics use them to make sweeping accusations about anyone who shares those views.
  • The media uses the same tactic against critics of Black Lives Matter that they use against Trump: if you criticize BLM, you're essentially one of these killers and just don't know it yet.
  • Trump's opponents tried to beat him by charging him with things, but this actually strengthens his support because his base feels like they're defending him.
  • The strategy used against Trump was to claim everyone voting for him is a neo-Nazi militia member who doesn't know it yet—the tests and diagnostics just haven't revealed it.
  • Voters respond that they're just concerned about the border, the economy, and kids getting medical transitions too young, but get told they're Nazis and don't know it.
  • The media's tactic always fails because Trump doesn't play their game—he doesn't apologize or submit to the shame they're trying to impose.
  • In order to beat someone at a game, they have to play it, but Trump refuses to play their game, which is why their strategy doesn't work.
