Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey.

Investigates on today's show of a very special guest. Returning guest. His name is John Brisson. Last name is Bill. B-R-I-S-S-O-N. If you listen to my show, you've heard me talk with it many times. I think we're over 20 episodes. Our past episode we did was titled the Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance Nexus, and people were really interested in that.

I think we did that in July about a month ago.

And yeah, a lot of people listened to that.

I think it's a very important subject.

And at the end of that, we were talking, and John had showed me this document, that online document,

interim, this one month interim, so much has happened. Like, I couldn't make it for family obligations.

lot of ways because so much has happened there was a peteel interview with

joe rogan that popped up and i don't know john has at least looked at it i saw pieces of it i

haven't listened to the whole thing i just haven't had enough time but also andreason is tied to this

really strange mysterious deaths of these two guys in europe mike lynch and stephen

chamberlain stephen jamberlin was hit by a car and mike lynch uh died in a mysterious

waterspout accident it was really hard to believe that that's what really happened but they ran

autonomy which was purchased by hp well and and andreason was a member of the board. And so we can get to that. But there's a lot

to talk about this manifesto and also the TEAL interview. So I've titled this, Our Tech Overlords.

And at the intro, I'm like, something's taking over my computer. I couldn't get my speakers to work.

I got logged out of Stringard. So,
