Notable Quotes
“Leading recall candidate Larry Elder was attacked by white liberals, a woman wearing a gorilla mask, and they were throwing eggs at him. And I believe someone with Larry actually got punched in the face because these people are completely out of their minds.”
— Tim Pool · opening segment on Larry Elder attack
“They say the Growth and Opportunity Party are like the Trump supporters, right-wing populists, American populists, and they're not Christian conservatives because the Christian conservative is a separate party and I think that makes sense.”
— Tim Pool · discussion of political factionalization
“I find myself on the libertarian right these days. It's all it takes. All it takes. When you have the left dominating everything, it's real easy to react and go right. Especially if you're a logical thinker.”
— Ian Crossland · panel discussion on political realignment
“You can take a lot of things away from people, man. But you take their booze. Yeah. It's not good.”
— Tim Pool · discussing Australia lockdown policies
“I'm a socialist. And I like social programs. But I find myself on the libertarian right these days. It's the weirdest thing though that like Ian can sit here and say a bunch of things that people in the chat are like Ian is clearly a leftist, but they will call him right wing by simply hanging out, having these conversations, saying the Democrats are bad.”
— Ian Crossland · balancing political perspectives on the panel
