Notable Quotes
“$10 billion. Yeah, that's right. It's a silly number, I guess, but he is. And this has to do with CBS creating, I guess we can put it at a baseline, two different versions of the Kamala Harris interview that he argues was selectively edited to benefit Kamala Harris because she looked real bad.”
— Tim Pool · opening the show with the main story
“They put out snippets from the interview. Everybody roasted Kamala. Then they edited and changed how she responded. Trump says this is basically election interference. And for this, he is suing.”
— Tim Pool · explaining the CBS lawsuit
“I think it was because they were embarrassed by their own performance. If you have her handheld and being spoken to in the most gentle possible terms, that's clearly what happened here.”
— Joel Valdez · analyzing CBS's motivations
“Trump filed a lawsuit against CBS News Thursday, alleging the network engaged in election interference by doctoring 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Harris.”
— Philip Bonte · reading news details
“We just released a cartoon today, which is one of my personal favorites. I think you guys will really enjoy it. It's about Doug. It's about Kamala's wonderful husband who's reshaping masculinity.”
