Notable Quotes

“I still think there's a lot of questions that need to be asked about how weird this video is. Like why Paul Pelosi is holding a drink as the door opens. Why he doesn't then go out to the cops. Why he then grabs the hammer but doesn't drop his drink to grab the hammer.”

— Tim Pool · opening segment on Paul Pelosi incident

“We run a media entity called Turtle Boy Daily News. We've broken hundreds of stories that the mainstream media won't touch because we go after powerful people that the rest of the media is afraid to go after.”

— Aiden Kearney · guest introduction

“I've been deplatformed. I've had over 50 Facebook pages taken down. I've been banned from Twitter for two years. I can't use PayPal, GoFundMe, or Venmo. I've been sued dozens of times, undefeated in court.”

— Aiden Kearney · guest background

“We are the mainstream media now. This legacy stuff, they're not the mainstream anymore. It's fed to people via television. No one cares.”

— Hannah Clare · media landscape discussion

“They've released the backdoor footage. Very, very weird. The 911 call is weird. A lot of people are saying, guys, it's just de-escalation. He was trying to stop a crazy crackhead from attacking him. Maybe. Maybe. But I do kind of feel like saying DePap is crazy is a weird catch-all for all of the unexplainable things that we think are weird.”
