Episode notes

We didn't have much of a dialogue with him. We'll see how the episode plays with listeners It was really him having a platform to speak his mind for the past, you know two hours and it's interesting I think my observation is this guy Robert clearly has a very deep rooted anti-establishment energy That plays through in many of his points of viewAnti-establishment kind of Energy manifests as both conspiracy theories where people have classified some of his claims.
