No one's breathed a word of it to a journalist.

And so...

I've dealt with that style of thinking and I know what it's like to be in the weeds of a conversation like that and the person will say,

Okay, well, but what do you make of the fact that all those F-16s were flown 800 miles out to sea on the morning of 9-11 doing an exercise that hadn't even been scheduled for that day?

Now, all of these, I dimly recall some thesis of that kind, but I'm just making these things up now, right?

So that detail hadn't even been scheduled for that day.

It was inexplicably run that day.

So what...

How long would it take to track that down, right?

The idea that this is anomalous, like there was an F-16 exercise run

and it wasn't even supposed to be run that day, right?

Someone like Alex Jones, their speech pattern is to pack as much of that stuff in as possible at the highest velocity that the person can speak.

And unless you're knocking down each one of those things, to that audience, you appear to just be uninformed.

William, he didn't know about the F-16s.

He doesn't know about Project Mockingbird.

You haven't heard about Project Mockingbird?

I just made up Project Mockingbird.

I don't know what it is, but that's the kind of thing that comes out, tumbling out in a conversation like that.

That's the kind of thing, frankly, I was worried about in the COVID conversation, because not that someone like Brett would do it consciously, but

But someone like Brett is swimming in a sea of misinformation on social, living on Twitter, getting people, sending the blog post and the study from, from, you know, the Philippines that showed that in this cohort, ivermectin did X, right?
