“That basically completely exonerates Trump. And the news reporting now is that the reason the indictment's been delayed is because this dude Bragg is struggling to convince a grand jury that Trump did anything wrong.”
— Tim Pool · main discussion on Bragg indictment
“I was far and away leading candidate. I mean, there was no argument about that. We complained about that yesterday. We were talking with Troy Nails and I'm like the Republican Party's trash.”
— Robbie Starbuck · guest segment discussing election removal
“Bandcamp, which is very woke, banned us for no reason. Nothing in the songs is hate speech or anything related directly to individuals in politics. The woke people at bandcamp blocked me on Twitter, deleted my account as well as five times August.”
— Tim Pool · discussion of platform censorship
“Brilliant idea. That's how you build community. Getting people into a chat room where they can talk and then actually call in and talk with our guests is bringing a sitting member of Congress be able to talk to some regular people who are watching the show.”
