— Tim Pool · opening story introduction
“For those that don't know, the Georgia Guidestones are considered a monument to globalism. They advocate for a global population of 500 million, which some have argued is a population control argument.”
— Tim Pool · explaining the Guidestones controversy
“I think it's David Axelrod. I don't agree with him too much, but he did say something the other day that that's right. If you're a doctor and you're looking at the chart, all right, and all the vital signs for the Democrats look bad.”
— Rich Baris · polling analysis and election outlook
“I don't know if that necessarily means right wing. It could be some far leftist because they also have some time sentiments like that.”
— Tim Pool · speculating on Guidestones bombing perpetrators
“I have a lot of issues with polling in general. Just the way that it extrapolates. They'll poll 1,000 people and then say, that means that 100,000 people feel.”
