I don't trust this guy at all. I'm sure at least some (and maybe even all) of the abuses he's blowing the whistle on are true, but his story is a little too perfect, a little too grandiose, and his whistleblowing doesn't seem to have the level of detail that other accounts have. This podcast is my first time hearing about him, and maybe he will turn out to be 100% legit, but I got big Rebekah Jones vibes from him in this interview, and it makes me question the substance of his claims. I wish y'all would have been more skeptical of him.

Not to mention some of the extremely odd, confusing and disjointed comments he made during the premium extended interview that had nothing to do with the topic at hand. What was he even trying to say about kids dying from abuse because they were not in school due to COVID-related closures? Also his beef with gunshot victims being required to wear masks when entering the hospital like everyone else was super strange and seemed to assume a lot about the sympathies of the audience. I realize Stella and Sasha aren't there to get into debates about side topics, so I don't fault them at all for letting those things pass, but the guest certainly came across as not up to their usual standards of coherence and credibility.

Yeah, he sounds all-in on a lot of different culture war stuff, which doesn't necessarily make him wrong, but it makes me wary.

Exactly, especially since most of us GC people are already at pains to keep ourselves from being lumped in with "right-wing conspiracy theorists."
