Kontrarian Korner #61 - Clay Martin & E.M. Burlingame (Part 1)

On Monday, I recorded my first in-person podcast with Clay Martin and E.M. Burlingame. E.M. was kind enough to host, and it was a long and fascinating conversation. Clay Martin is a former Recon Marine and Green Beret, and he has also become a prolific author over the last several years. You can find his books on Amazon, and he’s also a very entertaining follow on Twitter. We decided to break the podcast into two parts, so Part 2 will be up tomorrow morning. In Part 1, we covered a bunch of topics, from the recent Epstein circus to all of the other rabbit holes we have been down over the last several years. In Part 2, we get around to solving the rest of the world’s problems.

Podcast Summary

* The Epstein files circus, and blackmail being one time use.

* The health rabbit hole, covering the jab, to fluoride in the water, genetically modified food, seed oils, and everything in between.
