0:00.0	All right, Brett. Thank you so much for coming, man.
0:08.0	Hey, I'm happy to be here. Great to meet you and I'm looking forward to this.
0:11.0	Yeah, I'm a big fan and I'm excited to hear some of your thoughts on the world that's unraveling
0:17.0	and right in front of our eyes right now. Unraveling. It's pretty good to me.
0:28.1	You said to me in a text that I told you that all of this stuff that's happening between the Epstein stuff and the Iran stuff is flipping my whole worldview upside down. And your response was it's just
0:34.8	confirming yours. Yeah, unfortunately, there's a lot to that.
0:40.6	And, you know, I will say the world has spent a lot of ink

1:37.3	Yeah, there's no, same Tripoli was telling me, there's no, this conspiracy theorists only have like two or three conspiracies left flat earth
1:45.2	nukes are fake and viruses are fake yeah and uh the earth is not flat you can establish that for
1:52.8	yourself uh it's a little harder to establish that viruses exist for yourself but the pattern we have
1:59.7	all observed in our own viruses are fake why does youtube keep shutting, giving us strikes on YouTube? We're talking
2:04.6	about that virus that happened a few years ago.
2:06.6	Yes, well, viruses are very definitely not fake. We can see some of them with a microscope,
