The Smashing Pumpkins bandleader claimed that George W. Bush’s White House tried to enlist him in an influence campaign and hinted at a conspiracy to sideline rock music's impact in the culture. This episode was a conversation with Conrad Flynn, the occult historian who went viral in certain corners for referencing Nurse With Wound on The Tucker Carlson Show a couple of months earlier.
