MEGYN KELLY (HOST): I think it's so interesting because I love anything involving cults, first of all. And this really shows, like, you talk about many infamous cults like Jim Jones, people drinking the Kool Aid, taking their own lives, convinced that doom and gloom was awaiting nuclear attacks and so on.
But -- and then you liken it to what's happening today. And when you watch the lunacy on the streets of Minneapolis, is it so different from being in the Jim Jones cult and being convinced that you have everything to fear, the Gestapo is here, like these ICE agents, they're locking people up, they're stopping innocents and throwing them away without a key — American citizens. The through line, like it didn't really dawn on me until I read the book on exactly how the same tactics are being used only on American citizens.
