"I don't trust all experts. I go and do a journal article and get it published, and oftentimes my articles are calling into question other articles that other experts ... have written.

"... I think [conspiracy theories] are, at their core, an important critique of power and of the establishment, and sometimes they are warranted. Sometimes they're not. So what we need to do is be very careful about which ones we want to get rid of, and which ones we're going to allow to stay."
