Notable Quotes

Here's this leftist being allowed to go on CNN and talk about all this stuff. He was doing it. He was one of the people leading the charge and encouraging people to do it.

Tim Pool · John Sullivan coverage

The media says there were no leftists. Well, what they'll do is they'll say no Antifa. And then when it comes down to us colloquially calling someone Antifa, they'll say he's not part of Antifa. Whatever fits their narrative.

Tim Pool · Media double standards

Jorge Ventura · Daily Caller documentary findings

Facebook terminated access to monetization for me. I violated no rules and they stripped me out of the program why I reported on what happened at the Capitol. There's never been any calls for action.

Tim Pool · Platform censorship announcement

Well I think TimCast.com is a great move. We've got to have our own platform, our own base, something they can't just take away from us whenever they feel like it.
