Footnote it all you want, he's an ignorant fool who has gotten people's attention by spouting rubbish.
He constantly goes on about how he is a neuroscientist to give himself credibility. Look, I have an undergraduate degree in Middle Eastern History, which gives me more credibility, and I wouldn't put myself on TV as an expert on this stuff. You and I both have JDs, but we aren't experts on neuroscience.
Why does anyone listen to him? Isn't that the right question. What is going on in this world that people are listening to him instead of someone who knows something about the subject? What cultural morass have we sunk into that we so disrespect and devalue knowledge?
