Doctor Mike

This is not novel, right?

Reagan in the 80s

pulled together the active measures working group to study Russian interference in the discourse during the Cold War.

I said, okay, I will come on.

He was very candid and open and quite nice.

He's very gracious and friendly.

He was like, half my audience is going to hate you.

I was like, yeah, you know, like we we all we knew what it was going to be going into it.

You could still see downvotes on YouTube at the time.

And I was totally 50 percent downvoted.

Right.

And, you know, I thought, though.

This is important to do because, like, what good does it do me to only tell Democrats or left-wing audiences what happened here?

I think it's very important that the right hear this also.

If they trust this person and this person is asking me questions and I didn't, like, there's nothing that's off the table.

I'm going to sit here for two hours.

He can ask me whatever he wants.

then why would I turn that down?

I wound up getting more flack from, well, okay, I got a lot of flack from his audience for doing it because they wanted to scream at me about Russiagate.

Russiagate is a term that means nothing at this point.
