now. Watch what it does to you. Go. Oh yeah. Ah, that's so good. So good. It feels like a hike in the woods, doesn't it? Do you know what I like? One of the best feelings in the world. Have you ever had a sneezing attack when you were in a forest? You know, normally if you have to sneeze you're usually around people and then it's this big awkward thing, especially during COVID, and you're doing t…

Here's a question that I've been wondering. What is the exact ratio of fake news to real news? Fake news over real news. Do the math. What would be the proper ratio before you could be called a conspiracy theorist? Would it be ten percent? Suppose ten percent of the things you said turned out to be unfounded conspiracy theories. Would that be enough to call you a conspiracy theorist? About fifty percent? About fifty. Would you then be a conspiracy theorist?

And I'm thinking to myself, especially CNN, well what is the ratio? Are they claiming that he's got a higher ratio of incorrect news to correct news? Maybe he does. I'm not even judging. I've never done the analysis so I don't know. But it begs the question, doesn't it? What if both of them are squarely in the category of, well you know, that's a little conspiracy-ish isn't it? You know, am I right or wrong that CNN pushed the Russia collusion hoax forever? I'm pretty sure they did. I think there were quite a few hoaxes that the

y pushed as real. How many of the hoaxes that CNN promoted did Alex Jones believe? How about none? How about none? Do you get any credit at all for being able to spot the other side's conspiracy theories? You know, CNN acts like they're the only ones who could spot a conspiracy theory. I'm pretty sure Alex Jones spotted a few on them. Pretty sure. And we're going to talk about somebody else who s…
