According to Watt, a shadowy elite — referred to variously as the Illuminati, the New World Order, or 'lizard people' — has been orchestrating every major societal change since ancient Greece. From the invention of DNA forensics to 9/11 to COVID, the hosts explain, these events were all meticulously planned and executed on schedule.
