Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only.

This is episode 513.

I'm your host Thomas Smith, and we are continuing on the conspiracy theories about

Trump assassination attempts.

Yep, if you didn't catch the last one, catch the last one.

It's part one.

It's part one. I sets up where we are.

I got to keep going. I got things to say, we got to debunk. We're getting through it.

Very interesting to talk about. I'm interested in this, but I'm also interested in our side,

the left, stopping this, just knocking it the fuck off because it's stupid. So last time we went through it, I started down a journey of pairing back the conspiracy

You might think you're the good guy or doing it for a good reason or some shit. I don't care. I get that point where you're calling murder victims, crisis actors,
