Senior CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan, known for reporting on conservative movements, humorously shares wild conspiracy theories in a pre-podcast interview. He highlights an absurd claim that President Joe Biden wasn’t alive during his term, suggesting that his public appearances were simulated. O'Sullivan aims to foster empathy through his upcoming three-episode Persuadable podcast, encouraging audiences to understand rather than dismiss the fringe beliefs he encounters. His amusing exchange with colleague Elle Reeve illustrates the bizarre nature of the claims he investigates in the current political climate.
Podcast, I guess, is my naive attempt at trying to sketch out one part of a potential solution, or at least to have people who might be watching our stories who have no sympathy for the people we interview and view them frankly probably as stupid or extremists or dangerous, to get to a where maybe they could be empathetic.
That when Biden was in the White House, that he, uh, wasn't really there. That in fact, he was actually dead. (LAUGHS). Now that I'm hearing this back. Kernel of truth.
