Notable Quotes

“According to a new poll, Joe Biden's approval rating is down to 38% among independents. It's really low and getting lower, and I can't say I'm surprised. And this country's in trouble.”

— Tim Pool · opening segment on polling

“I don't hate Joe Biden personally but I think he's one of the worst aspects of the United States I've ever seen. You don't have to hate Joe Biden to be able to see that he's doing a really bad job.”

— Ian Crossland · political commentary

“If you look at the polls and dig into the crosstabs, those numbers are lower. I think Biden's overall approval among independents probably isn't out of the 20s.”

— John Cardillo · polling analysis

“We're literally in an episode of The Simpsons. The U.S. government could mint a trillion dollar coin because they have no money. I genuinely believe that this economy is in serious danger. They're printing money like we've never seen before.”

— Tim Pool · economic criticism

“The machine, the establishment will lie and tell you something bad about crypto. And then they trick poor people into selling. And then the people who got diamond hands and hold on to crypto are happy as can be.”
