Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
4 minTim and Ray discuss how conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and Sandy Hook get lumped together, whether Alex Jones is a CIA shill, and whether Trump is being compared to historical strongmen and the entrenched "deep state."
- 20:46Tim asks whether Alex Jones is a CIA plant meant to poison the well and discredit legitimate information.
- 21:33The net effect of Alex Jones and figures like him who claim to expose the deep state but accomplish nothing.
- 22:07Tim compares Trump to Hitler as an outsider who claims to oppose the establishment, then notes what both of them actually produced: a deeper state.
- 22:29Trump as a world leader who appears hopelessly corrupt from the start and would be the number one pick for someone destined to become a tyrant.
- 22:58Alan Dulles, the first CIA Director and architect of America's deep state, compared to Trump as a hypothetical dictator who lacked the competence to actually build one.
- 23:33Tim argues you need nonsense—not Alex Jones specifically, but something like him—even though he dislikes how that sounds.
