Notable Quotes
“The FDA has announced that they're going to be restricting the J&J vaccine for only certain individuals that have to be over 18 and you otherwise cannot receive other vaccines. So we'll get into this. This is because of the blood clot risk.”
— Tim Pool · opening story
“Twitter is using old fact checks to restrict this breaking news, which is dangerous because if I mean, this news is coming out, the FDA has issued a new guideline. And if they are restricting that news, people could get hurt. That is the problem with censorship.”
— Tim Pool · censorship discussion
“I am an author of Elephants Are Not Birds, which is a book to combat a lot of the liberal transgender antidotes going on now. And I am now the senior culture contributor at the Postmillennial.”
— Ashley St. Clair · guest introduction
“I hate to say it, but I'm fairly confident that if we actually showed the data on what the Pfizer dump was, we would get banned instantly. I'm not even exaggerating. It's that insane.”
— Tim Pool · Pfizer data discussion
“We've been working in the back, behind the scenes with decentralizing servers. And Chris at Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky has been fantastic to work with. Their crew is amazing. I'm really happy to be involved in this upgrade of the internet and heading towards Web 3.0 and beyond.”
