It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

For the summer Friday edition, we've put together some recent conversations,

edited just a bit for clarity and time,

including an examination of cancer research and history and where it stands now,

plus 100 years of New York City in the movies.

But we start here with Natalie Wynn, known as ContraPoints on YouTube,

where she has nearly 2 million subscribers.

On her channel, you'll find movie-length video essays

with full sets and ornate costuming on the pressing philosophical questions of our time.

Natalie's latest video, titled Conspiracy, doesn't seek to debunk the false theories that millions

have adopted exactly. Instead, she questions the

genesis of conspiracism, how conspiracists think, why so many have fallen prey to that rabbit

hole. And this is not just abstract, but very current as she explores what impact that a number

of conspiracy theories might be having on our

politics and our fragile democracy right now. Let's take a listen by way of introduction to just

35 seconds from the start of the video. The Bilderberg Group, Atlantis, serpent DNA.

Does the Vatican control the Freemasons?

Or do the Freemasons control the Vatican?

These people are sick.

It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Symbolism will be their downfall.
