While Root hasn't managed to find any evidence to support his claim, that has not stopped him from endlessly promoting any piece of information that he believes supports his theory.

Root's willingness to spread unsubstantiated information was noted by various media outlets, which did not sit well with him. During an appearance on "The Financial Survival Network" with Kerry Lutz earlier this week, Root lashed out at those who have dared to report on his promotion of baseless claims.

"I ask real questions and good questions," Root insisted. "I have never had a crazy conspiracy theory in my life. As a matter of fact, every theory I've ever had and every question I've ever asked has turned out to be correct. So I'm not a crazy conspiracy theorist, I'm the only honest person in the media asking real questions."
