Notable Quotes
“Crazy video that's come out of Texas where you've got a bunch of these parents that are outside this school in Uvalde. And the cops are actually pinning one guy down. They pepper sprayed some parents. And one woman says that the police even tased a father who was trying to get into the school to save his kids.”
— Tim Pool · opening segment introducing the main story
“The left is angry with police. They're like, what's the point of funding these police if they're keeping parents from actually going in? And you got people on the right. They were like, there are good guys with guns and the cops would not let them stop this guy.”
— Tim Pool · main discussion on bipartisan criticism of police response
“I'm very excited about my new children's book The Plot Against the King. It is Russiagate for children, literally. Instead of talking about critical race theory, we came up with our own CRT. We call it Children's Reading Time.”
— Kash Patel · interview segment promoting his book
“My first book was called The Art of the Steal. It's about election fraud prior to the 2020 election. It was supposed to be kind of a warning.”
