Has he spoken about that to you personally?
We’re were together frequently prior to Covid. I haven’t been around him recently.
Quite honestly, in my personal opinion, he lacks credibility and is delusional. I have no need to challenge him. He is more focused on creating a following than finding the truth.
I’ve known him long before he wrote any books or did any TV shows. We have many mutual friends, thus I’ve had several private conversations with him at their homes.
