conspiracy theories all the way back to ancient Rome when Rome burned down and Nero was the emperor. He was accused of being, he made it happen on purpose, my hop, or he let it happen on purpose, Lyhop, and all these conspiracies. That's not new. It's the speed with which the transmission of conspiracy theories can spread and how many the reach is just astonishing. After 9-11, that homemade movie, Loose Change, that was astonishing. This guy got views that Hollywood producers would die for. Of course, he didn't make any money on it. He didn't charge, but tens of millions, I don't know what it's up to now. There's probably 100 million people have seen this thing. It's astonishing. Then it starts to more fringe to more mainstream audiences where people get used to hearing about these, right? By the time Trump comes along and starts spouting his own conspiracy theories, Obama wasn't born in the United States. I remember when that happened and he's on CNN, astonishing. He could get that (8/57)
