1 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:01,969 where is an example where is an example 2 00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:05,490 of a where anyone inside the government 3 00:00:11,749 --> 00:00:09,719 has come out and said anything even like 4 00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:11,759 this I mean the kid went to jail for 5 00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:13,980 having a picture of a submarine in his 6 00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:15,809 background I mean this is not a day and 7 00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:17,940 age where people inside the government 8 00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:20,520 with deep state secrets like this are 9 00:00:28,580 --> 00:00:24,779 allowed to speak freely so that he that 10 00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:28,590 he was not breaking boundaries are 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:30,990 saying all this crazy stuff that no one 12 00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,730 wanted to say this is a controlled 13 00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:34,800 release no I don't agree with that I 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:37,920 mean none of our work ever led me to get 15 00:00:41,569 --> 00:00:39,690 to that conclusion or any of us and we 16 00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:41,579 talked to a lot of people a lot of 17 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:43,320 people including hours and hours and 18 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:46,170 hours with Elizondo the point is none of 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:47,730 the information that he brought forward 20 00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:50,610 was classified information so he's not 21 00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:52,680 like a Snowden or a WikiLeaks who's 22 00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:54,600 really breaking the law and he's not 23 00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:56,129 really a whistleblower in that sense 24 00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:58,890 because there's nothing really against 25 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:00,239 the law or nothing 26 00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:01,530 that he shouldn't and there's nothing 27 00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:05,640 telling him not to say this is it just 28 00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:07,439 because it's the times then is that why 29 00:01:11,179 --> 00:01:09,720 it's such a big deal because I mean if 30 00:01:13,399 --> 00:01:11,189 there's nothing classified then what's 31 00:01:16,219 --> 00:01:13,409 the big deal because it was a big deal 32 00:01:18,109 --> 00:01:16,229 to know as a fact that there has been a 33 00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:18,119 program within the Department of Defense 34 00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:21,030 since 2007 that nobody knew about and 35 00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:23,430 that has been taking seriously UFOs and 36 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:25,740 was funded you know with 22 million 37 00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:27,570 dollars for a number of years and 38 00:01:33,770 --> 00:01:30,780 continue to investigate UFOs after that 39 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:33,780 and yet even though they did their work 40 00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:36,090 they couldn't be very efficient about it 41 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:37,470 and that's what was frustrating for him 42 00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:40,290 he was one person who came out on his 43 00:01:44,859 --> 00:01:42,990 own much to the consternation of the 44 00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:44,869 Department of Defense now if you leave 45 00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:47,100 Alex you're gonna have to show me 46 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:49,740 evidence of that I think the evidence of 47 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:52,530 that is is its self evident you know you 48 00:01:57,139 --> 00:01:55,530 say you go to the New York Times I have 49 00:01:59,539 --> 00:01:57,149 seen no evidence and neither have my 50 00:02:00,679 --> 00:01:59,549 colleagues that there was some kind of I 51 00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:00,689 don't even know what you're exactly 52 00:02:06,289 --> 00:02:04,740 saying that he was well I think he I 53 00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,299 think in the least I think in the lease 54 00:02:09,949 --> 00:02:07,920 he's saying that there needs to be some 55 00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:09,959 sort of approval for somebody to talk 56 00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:11,400 about this kind of stuff I mean even 57 00:02:15,229 --> 00:02:13,230 with the to the stars 58 00:02:17,690 --> 00:02:15,239 to the stars Academy like there's ex-cia 59 00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:17,700 and X stunk works people in there that 60 00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:19,830 obviously have to have some I would 61 00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:22,069 think they'd have to have some some 62 00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:24,360 approval to talk about this stuff and to 63 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:30,959 bring this forward I mean is about 64 00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:32,970 classified information that's the 65 00:02:37,339 --> 00:02:35,220 distinction right there is that that 66 00:02:40,819 --> 00:02:37,349 distinction is meaningless at this point 67 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,829 this is the biggest story probably in in 68 00:02:44,449 --> 00:02:42,720 the in our in the history of our lives 69 00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,459 certainly a lot of people are saying in 70 00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:46,319 the history of the world and to suggest 71 00:02:52,690 --> 00:02:49,519 that this somehow and some phony-baloney 72 00:02:55,789 --> 00:02:52,700 classified not classified top secret 73 00:02:58,069 --> 00:02:55,799 classification this isn't classified and 74 00:02:59,839 --> 00:02:58,079 that's supposed to be the the mark I I 75 00:03:02,330 --> 00:02:59,849 don't see it you know I just interviewed 76 00:03:04,099 --> 00:03:02,340 Colonel John Alexander who you know and 77 00:03:06,349 --> 00:03:04,109 I just interviewed him recently right 78 00:03:08,420 --> 00:03:06,359 because John Alexander we all know is 79 00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:08,430 always been the guy who stood up at 80 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:11,910 these UFO conferences and said I was at 81 00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:17,910 the so what do you think he said when I 82 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:20,910 said okay well now he goes well I guess 83 00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:23,040 I was wrong but they're still really 84 00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:25,980 isn't a program this it's the same crap 85 00:03:32,030 --> 00:03:28,620 so I think you know part of the reaction 86 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:32,040 that came from this story was number one 87 00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:34,470 it's it's kind of preposterous to 88 00:03:38,569 --> 00:03:36,150 suggest that this somehow isn't 89 00:03:40,729 --> 00:03:38,579 classified I would I would then ask who 90 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:40,739 is deciding what's classified classified 91 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:43,889 but the second just before you go on I'm 92 00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:46,169 not suggesting that this is classified 93 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:47,880 or not I'm telling you the facts that 94 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:50,209 nothing that Elizondo has conveyed is 95 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,769 classified the name of the program is 96 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,480 not classified the information he has 97 00:03:59,119 --> 00:03:56,400 brought forward is not classified the 98 00:04:01,009 --> 00:03:59,129 videos aren't classified he's very very 99 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:01,019 careful about that he will never reveal 100 00:04:07,129 --> 00:04:04,470 anything that's classified that's more 101 00:04:09,650 --> 00:04:07,139 evidence of a controlled release than 102 00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:09,660 anything else because I'm from from our 103 00:04:13,069 --> 00:04:10,799 level from the people on the outside 104 00:04:15,559 --> 00:04:13,079 looking in why would this not be 105 00:04:18,110 --> 00:04:15,569 classified under what criteria would 106 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:18,120 this somehow not deserve classification 107 00:04:23,149 --> 00:04:19,680 given all the other crazy stuff that is 108 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:23,159 classified well I don't wanna respond to 109 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:24,770 that a lot of that a lot of 110 00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:27,199 Grahame data is classified the only 111 00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,449 stuff that he has provided is the parts 112 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:32,000 that aren't and that's why the videos 113 00:04:35,589 --> 00:04:34,250 you only see short excerpts of those 114 00:04:37,089 --> 00:04:35,599 videos you know people wonder what 115 00:04:39,309 --> 00:04:37,099 happened before and after right why is 116 00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:39,319 it just this three seconds or whatever 117 00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:41,750 it is eight second clip it's because the 118 00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:43,580 parts before and after that contains 119 00:04:48,010 --> 00:04:45,590 sensitive information that is classified 120 00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:48,020 they had a very carefully excerpt part 121 00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:50,300 of it that doesn't reveal anything such 122 00:04:53,950 --> 00:04:52,400 as sources and methods or equipment or 123 00:04:56,499 --> 00:04:53,960 whatever kind of data that they're not 124 00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:56,509 allowed to reveal and you know this is 125 00:05:00,820 --> 00:04:58,849 this is the way it happened please check 126 00:05:02,379 --> 00:05:00,830 out the skeptical website you can see it 127 00:05:04,809 --> 00:05:02,389 here we cover a lot of different stuff 128 00:05:07,899 -->
