Notable Quotes
“This morning just before 7 a.m., an ICE facility, killing one and leaving two others in critical condition. This is the fourth attack on an ICE facility since August 1st. So this summer has been a massively violent time.”
— Tim Pool · Opening news summary
“If Democrats are actually against these attacks, it is incumbent on the Democrats to make a simple statement, allow ICE to do its job. Stop attacking ICE facilities. They don't. They have not because generally they want to see this activity.”
— Tim Pool · Political criticism of Democrat response
“I'm a composer and audio director. And I did Halo and Destiny. And Myth the Fallen Lords, Oni and a whole bunch of games. Before that I did TV commercials.”
— Marty O'Donnell · Guest introduction and background
“The kid already said, I'm a leftist and I'm anti-ice. So he's anti-ice. How is that politicizing? It's just the fact.”
— Tim Pool · Analyzing the suspect's stated ideology
“This is normal. And I think that this is what you see. You see people saying, look, it is incumbent on us to go and take matters into our own hand because, again, the type of rhetoric that you get.”
— Brett · Panel commentary on political rhetoric and violence
“Instead of retiring and playing with my grandsons, which I still am going to do. I'm still going to play with my three grandsons. I decided it's time for me to do my civic duty and payback because I'm going to run for Congress and unseat the Democrat Congresswoman in my district in Nevada.”
— Marty O'Donnell · Announcing congressional campaign
“I wish it was just the far left. But the center of the left is saying this crazy, wacky, horrible stuff. I get the feeling that they're justifying by thinking, okay, you know what? A little bit of chaos can create good in society.”
— Tim Pool · Analysis of mainstream left rhetoric
“We're going to talk about violence all you want. But at some point we've got to talk about some video games which are not violence. This is why people aren't violent because they're playing video games instead.”
