Notable Quotes
“Unfortunately, it's one of those nights where I wish that we had something, anything else to talk about, then the story, of course, we're going to be getting into the Minneapolis massacre this evening. And it's horrific. It's disgusting.”

“We're going to talk about the individual that has been ID'd in this situation, again, another transgender shooter targeting a Christian school. In this case, a Catholic school on the very first mass of the school year.”
— Jack Posobic · main discussion of shooting
“I didn't think conservative commentators really understood Trump. They thought he was like a Democrat in sheep's clothing and all that. He sounded more like Bernie Sanders when he was talking about economics and so on. But I had studied nationalist populism and particularly the way it was exploding in Europe. And they focused on three things, border security, economic security and cultural security. And all of a sudden, when I heard Trump speak, I said, oh my, it's come to our shores.”
