He fantasizes about Kamala Harris nostalgically invoking 9/11 unity to win votes, then discusses the lingering conspiracy theories (Loose Change, the 9/11 Commission, Saudi involvement) and admits some of his best memories are drinking Starbucks in a mall after 9/11 while cheering for the Iraq War.
- Tim imagines Kamala Harris winning him over by saying 'Remember 9/11' and evoking the feeling of drinking coffee and being present with people afterward.
- The bit: wouldn't it be nice if we had another 9/11 so we could all come together again.
- Tim discusses Loose Change, the 9/11 conspiracy documentary, and the movement to uncover the truth about what happened.
- He claims he doesn't know what he thinks happened—Saudis were involved according to the Atlantic, but he questions whether that makes it true.
- Tim notes that 19 hijackers trained in America and flew planes into buildings, but he doesn't know who trained them or why.
- The 9/11 Commission was set up to fail, with Bush and Cheney testifying together, and nobody can tell you exactly how that day went down.
- Tim argues the larger issue is what happened in the years following 9/11 and how it damaged America's credibility about making the world safer.
- Some of his greatest life moments were running around a mall on Long Island after 9/11, getting Starbucks and being happy.
- He wonders if it makes him a bad person that he was enthusiastic about the war in Iraq at the time.
- Tim admits he was very excited about the Iraq War back then.
