What's up? How are you? Good to see you.
Good to see you.
What you been up to, man?
That's a loaded question. I'm doing a podcast now.
You are doing a podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When did you start? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple months ago.
What made you want to do that? Just got tired of being on the outside looking in?
That's it. Yeah? You know, it's... You actually... I'm going to paraphrase you, so you got to tell me the exact quote. Okay. But you said... COVID was a fucked up time. And I went in thinking that vaccines were the pinnacle of human technology and came out thinking that the moon landing wasn't real and Michelle Obama's got a dick. And I was like, that was me. Like during COVID, I was like, I became obsessed with social media and X and like just looking at shit and whatever. And I'm like, what's true, what's not true? Because everybody's speaking so forcibly. This is one question I wanted to ask you. You talk to all these dudes all the time. One of the things I miss, I would be talking to people and be like, Oh, this is going off gas now.
And I'd be like, oh, I was just there. That's not what's happening. Or, you know, this is happening as an Iraq. Oh, I was just there. I love talking to people. I love meeting people. And I love sort of knowing stuff. Like you can just say, well, I'm going to go there. I'm going to figure it out. Right. So I saw this stuff on social media and I was like. Wow. You know, there's all this stuff like but no one's really going after it and saying like as an investigative journalist saying what's real, what's not real, what's true, what's not true. Right. You are. You're getting in there.
There's a few people doing it. Yeah. They're all investigative journalists. They're all independent. They're all completely outside of any kind of Washington Post.
Which is great.
That's the only way to do it.
That's the only way to do it.
100%. Yeah, there's no way.
But you talk to everybody, and that must be fascinating because you get the inside track. Like your brain is like a wealth of information.
Yeah, it's like I had an unexpected education, like an unanticipated, unplanned education in all sorts of things.
Yeah, and these guys are super interesting, and you get to learn, and that's amazing.
It's pretty amazing, yeah. I mean, you learn a lot of bullshit, too. Like, some of the stuff you learn is not true.
Well, that's the problem.
Yeah.
I got a question.
Yeah.
Bobby Kennedy seems to be, like, so fast. I remember I used to watch Tony Blair during question period, and he'd, like, leap up, and he'd be like, blah, blah, blah, and he was so, like, he knew everything and the facts and stuff. Like, you've interviewed him a bunch of times, or...?
I've talked to him many times. I interviewed him once.
Is he that good in person?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's legit. I mean, he was an environmental attorney.
Yeah, I know.
That was his background. And, you know, he's had a crazy life. Imagine you're 14 years old and your dad gets killed by who knows.
Who knows.
But it might be the government.
That's my first episode. Yeah. Assassinations. Deep state. Getting into it.
Well, it's a real thing. You know, I don't know who's doing it or what faction or how small the amount of people are that are involved in it. I mean, imagine if you're like a legitimate person working for the CIA and you think that the CIA is trying to assassinate Trump and you're like, well, what the fuck? Or whoever.
That's our first episode.
It's got to be. I mean, it's got to be a small faction of intelligence agencies that want to do things like how many people do you think were involved in the Kennedy assassination?
So there's a guy named Peter Dale Scott who actually wrote the book on the deep state and brought like the concept over from Turkey to here and broke it. And if you talk to him, so he was really involved or wrote about or covered the, they tried to assassinate Castro. That was the first American deep state thing, which is like, by the way, that's factual.
