The man is a genius and his political stance just makes so much sense. Especially when you understand that these aren’t even opinions.. these are facts that he dug up and researched on his own merit (with no “hidden agenda” like every other politician today), really just makes you appreciate his political savvy so much further. He should be running for President, no doubt about it.

I timed this so you don't have to. The stopwatch in this is going slower than a usual clock. 60 seconds in real-time were over at 54 seconds in this stopwatch, so at around 1:29 (video timer). When the stopwatch in the video reached 60 seconds, it was actually a minute and 8 seconds. Go out into the world and do with this knowledge as you please.
Most of our regulations are result of companies whining to government. For example, jaywalking became a crime because of car dealers not wanting to admit that cars cause more accidents than pedestrians
What probably happened was that the on set timer was actually correct, but the "timer" added in post was stretched to start a bit too early and end a bit too late. You can see the the on screen timer starts before Tim says the words "60 second soapbox" instead of starting when Tim actually starts his speech.
Remember folks, this was Tim's first foray into politics. This was before his Oscar specials treatise, check it out at the following link, timestamp 34:42 th-cam.com/video/pKkAdoZEn-s/w-d-xo.html
8 years ago I showed this to the girl I was seeing and set it up like he was some political commentator. She got 15 seconds into vid and said "this guys a fuckin idiot" in disgust.
it's completely inappropriate for tim to bring in his political beliefs on a show thats supposed to be about movies. i expected more professionalism from him. disappointed.
As a senior I had chills up my spine listening to that.
maybe it's spinal meningitis.

Thank you for your service.
I’d like to make a promise to you

0:18 The combination of the dead eyes, plus Gregg's "no" head shake is just amazing lol
I'm a movie head like Gregg, and I say this is fine if the rest of the show is about what's most important, the movies.
So only vhs tapes?
The 1st time I saw the 60' soapbox, I understood that I was watching something extraordinary. Future D.A. material right there.
Absolutely brilliant Tim and should be read on the steps of Congress.
Why can't politicians make sure they make a promise to our seniors?
It's always empty promises!
How he squeezed 60 seconds of pure wisdom into a 1:47 clip is beyond me...

I don't know how it took me this long to realize it's even longer than 60 seconds, the clock is slow. The timer goes from 0:28 to 1:37
It was probably slowed just slightly to avoid copyright strikes.
Those are 60 untaxed seconds. You're just used to shorter seconds due to all the regulations from the government
@@rstyknfeif it’s only slowed so slightly that the average viewer can’t even tell then it’s not enough to avoid a copyright strike lmao

I love how Tim has to invent a segment as an excuse to not talk about movies, as if he doesn't just do that anyway lmao
100% correct. Libs will say its fake.
Don't forget to make that promise to our seniors
