The Mystery of the Moon Landing
"I'm a bit skeptical in the moon landing and that I saw the one video of the American flag actually waving on the moon. And that just, it's like, okay, that doesn't make any sense," he says. "It feels like we are wired to...we want to close the loop, is that feeling? It's like, well, what did happen?"
Andrew Bustamante joins me to discuss his life in the CIA, the current geopolitical issues, conspiracy theories, and how to become an everyday spy.
