Conspiracy Granny and Sidethorn Confront Sandy Hook Families

• 1:08:20Tim defends Laura Ingraham's right to free speech despite disagreeing with how she's treated by her critics.
• 1:08:49Conspiracy Granny and Sidethorn—a husband-and-wife team—are coming on the show, notorious for confronting Sandy Hook families and denying their children died.
• 1:09:11Tim describes the dynamic: when a father says his daughter is buried in the cemetery, Sidethorn calls him a liar and a demon.
• 1:09:23Going on a double date with this couple would be genuinely interesting and fun, regardless of whether they're good people.
• 1:09:39The wife keeps starting to escalate while the husband tells her to stay calm and build credibility slowly before moving to bigger conspiracy claims.
• 1:10:36Tim entertains the premise: what if they're actually right and these shootings aren't fake?
• 1:11:04The motivation required to travel the country telling grieving parents their dead children never existed represents a particular kind of extremism.
• 1:11:35A combination of drunkenness, isolation, and echo chambers of other conspiracy theorists drives this behavior, plus self-righteousness.
• 1:12:15Tim wants to get Sam Tripoli on the show to discuss conspiracy theories more broadly.
