1 00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:03,830 on this episode of skeptico 2 00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:07,600 a show about the left-right divide 3 00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:11,120 and a show about ufos and a show about 4 00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,000 why people believe weird things and a 5 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:16,640 show about my epiphany when i realized 6 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:19,680 that all this truth-seeking stuff that 7 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,720 i'm so concerned with ultimately has a 8 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,720 lot to do with 9 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:27,199 values and beliefs 10 00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:29,119 and for me if i'm gonna strip all the 11 00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:32,640 way back to values and belief i gotta go 12 00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:35,840 to that fire walking self-development 13 00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:37,040 giant 14 00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,320 tony robbins here's a clip 15 00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:42,160 if i said to you which would you rather 16 00:00:44,389 -->

know you can succeed and not be 27 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,039 adventurous i want to be an adventurer 28 00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:05,280 i'd be going hey i want to be outrageous 29 00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:06,240 if you're outrageous you're going to 30 00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:07,280 have fun you're going to play you're 31 00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,640 going to have a great time in life other 32 00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,720 people go well that's all nice but what 33 00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:12,960 i want is love i mean you can have all 34 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:14,240 those other things but if

still not feel 38 00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,200 comfortable who wants to be loved and be 39 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,200 in pain all the time 40 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:25,600 all of us in life have learned to take 41 00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:28,960 different words that we call emotions 42 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,600 and to give them levels of importance 43 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:33,520 now you might be wondering what that has 44 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:36,880 to do with part two of my interview with 45 00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,600 jimmy fallon gong who you heard from a 46 00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:41,439 couple episodes back 47 00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:43,680 and as i promised this episode is a 48 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,479 little more skeptical back and forth 49 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,200 paradigm collide kind of stuff here's a 50 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,200 clip where jimmy and i are talking about 51 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,920 how his radical left tin foil left i 52 00:01:58,109 --> 00:01:55,680 should say a term that he coined that is 53 00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,119 really i think fantastic about 54 00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:00,640 conspiratorially woke people who happen 55 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,200 to be on the left here we are hashing 56 00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:06,479 out the issue of class 57 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,840 because if you look at people who are 58 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,319 traditionally on the right they go oh 59 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,560 you're interfering with my liberty well 60 00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:14,480 if you look at people on the left 61 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,239 they're saying the same thing you know 62 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:18,640 you are somehow inhibiting the liberty 63 00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:21,440 of disadvantaged groups 64 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,840 in a very real way when i hear you talk 65 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,280 about class 66 00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:28,080 i'm just i'm just like thrown back like 67 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,280 what the heck does he even mean by class 68 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:34,400 my identification in terms of class is 69 00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,360 my grandfather who came over from greece 70 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,680 when he's 14 years old with the five 71 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,920 dollar bill sewn into his jacket that's 72 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:43,360 all he had 73 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,680 i'm wealthy now but that's just two 74 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,200 generations 75 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:48,959 isn't the dimension that we're really 76 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:51,680 talking about class mobility yeah no i 77 00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,519 mean i think that there's sort of like 78 00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:55,280 this idea that 79 00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:56,959 i mean 80 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,599 not everyone can be like a business 81 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:01,760 owner not everyone can be the boss like 82 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,720 not everyone can move up and so 83 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,480 what what do you mean you take something 84 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,720 you take well like 85 00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:10,239 you take something like labor unions 86 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:12,400 like we were talking about and they 87 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,519 basically were trying to yeah get a as 88 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:17,360 large a group of people as possible to 89 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:19,920 have a good standard of living and then 90 00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,200 you said 91 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:23,840 that that way they could move up but 92 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:24,720 like 93 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,200 everyone who worked to be comfortable 94 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,920 and to receive a fair slice of the pie 95 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,519 because they are those are the people 96 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:35,680 actually working not the shareholders 97 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:36,720 not the 98 00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:40,159 most of the bosses right no like 99 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:42,959 no that's not right i mean the whole 100 00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,200 principle of the united states and what 101 00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:47,680 it's built on and what really drives it 102 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,879 is meritocracy is that people who 103 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:53,200 deserve it never that's never actually 104 00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:56,400 been true though exactly so but that is 105 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:58,400 that is the goal it's about the best 106 00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:01,120 moving forward it's meritocracy it's 107 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,159 what your sho your show will succeed or 108 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,400 fail based on how good it is no one 109 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,159 needs to force people to listen to 110 00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,040 program to chill 111 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:13,439 yeah i mean and i think that i would 112 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,720 probably 113 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:16,720 just emphasize in terms of the left 114 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:18,799 right thing like 115 00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,000 yes liberty is a huge focus but liberty 116 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:24,560 for who like what rights 117 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,440 do 118 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,000 if someone's free to make a million 119 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,479 dollars but they literally can't 120 00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:32,479 what what does that matter if they're 121 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:34,080 starving 122 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:36,800 so as you might remember from last time 123 00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,280 jimmy has a terrific podcast called 124 00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:41,600 program to chill and the last time he 125 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,320 was on we talked about the stuff that he 126 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:46,240 really does so well these kind of deep 127 00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:48,560 dives into history and his unique 128 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:51,120 ability to synthesize these little known 129 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:53,040 facts into some pretty remarkable 130 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:55,680 stories so when we got into all this 131 00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,360 other stuff during that interview i felt 132 00:05:01,830 --> 00:04:59,199 like i needed to break it into a second 133 00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,840 part and what i really want to pull out 134 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,440 because it was as i mentioned somewhat 135 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:05,120 of an epiphany for me 136 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,000 this 137 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:08,720 why people believe weird things which of 138 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,840 course is 139 00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:11,759 dependent on who the person is who says 140 00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:14,080 the other person's beliefs are weird but 141 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:16,720 again the epiphany for me was how maybe 142 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:18,479 this is connected to 143 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:21,280 values in a way that i hadn't fully 144 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:23,440 considered i mean fundamentally there's 145 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:26,880 nothing wrong with saying that security 146 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,520 is your number one value 147 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:30,960 just like there's nothing wrong with 148 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:33,440 saying that success however you define 149 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,560 success is your number one value 150 00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,120 and i guess this is obvious stuff but i 151 00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:41,520 know i've sput around on it for years 152 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:43,759 and years without ever fully realizing 153 00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,160 that those values have a direct through 154 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,320 line back to what we 155 00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:50,160 think is true 156 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:51,680 and that applies to things like 157 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:54,400 left-right politics as well as it does 158 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,840 to a disbelief in left-right politics 159 00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,120 like i have 160 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:02,160 and it even factors into all the 161 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:04,960 extended consciousness kind of stuff 162 00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:07,680 that we talk about on skeptico here's 163 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:09,919 the one from this interview that really 164 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:13,280 sent me on tilt and that is the topic of 165 00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:15,120 ufos 166 00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,560 you said 167 00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,240 just apply occam's razor i don't 168 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,160 understand why we'd ever think there 169 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,919 could be something to ufos when the 170 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,520 overwhelming number of sightings occur 171 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:27,600 in commonwealth countries around air 172 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,240 force braces where air force officers 173 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:32,400 trained in psychological operations 174 00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:35,520 specifically try to mislead people about 175 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:37,280 what's going on 176 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:38,800 and i'm like 177 00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:41,520 that just doesn't connect with 178 00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:44,479 any of the reality of ufos which have 179 00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:47,759 been studied by a bunch of really really 180 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,599 smart people like i'm not denying that 181 00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:53,440 you know things appear in the sky that 182 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:56,160 we can't explain i just think that 183 00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:58,240 perhaps the 184 00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:01,120 more strict logical explanation would be 185 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,639 this specific several bureaucracies 186 00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:07,039 these intelligence agencies like the air 187 00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,199 force intelligence that are 188 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,440 specifically trying to keep people from 189 00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:13,840 knowing their military secrets 190 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:17,199 and i think at different points the ufo 191 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:18,960 thing has been 192 00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:21,280 for different purposes like there's no 193 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:24,080 continuity with like the quote-unquote 194 00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,520 aliens 195 00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:27,440 which is sort of separate from seeing 196 00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:28,840 things in the sky 197 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:30,560 right 198 00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:35,599 it doesn't conform to the best data we 199 00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:37,440 have and i'm going to present a little 200 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,960 bit of that data right here because we 201 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:40,240 really didn't have a chance to do it on 202 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,560 the show and i was somewhat stunned by 203 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:44,720 the whole thing anyway so let's dive 204 00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,560 into it first it's always a good idea 205 00:07:50,589 --> 00:07:48,080 when you're trying to wrestle something 206 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:50,599 to the ground that is shrouded in 207 00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:53,759 parapolitical conspiratorial stuff like 208 00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,160 the ufo thing certainly is 209 00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,879 is to go cross culture cross time now we 210 00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:00,960 did that on skeptical a long time ago 211 00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:03,599 when i interviewed dr rd six color clark 212 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:05,840 an anthropologist from montana state 213 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,680 university here's a clip from that 214 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:09,360 interview 215 00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:11,120 when i first came to montana state 216 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,800 university i was the director of the 217 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:14,720 center for bilingual multicultural 218 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:16,160 education 219 00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:17,520 and i had gone out to one of the 220 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:20,160 reservations in montana and the person 221 00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:21,440 who helped me 222 00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:23,039 out on site 223 00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:24,879 invited me out to dinner and after 224 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,919 dinner he said to me said 225 00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:29,280 um 226 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:31,599 do you have some time i want to show you 227 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:32,800 something 228 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:35,200 and i said sure and he took me up in the 229 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:36,719 mountains above 230 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:39,680 his village and he parked his car and he 231 00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:40,959 reached over and he got a pair of 232 00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:43,680 binoculars and he said to me come if 233 00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,720 we're if we're lucky they'll come 234 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:48,640 and i said who would come and he said 235 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,680 well the ancestors 236 00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:53,440 and so we sat on this boulder and we 237 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,360 watched the night sky and he told me 238 00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:57,120 stories about 239 00:09:03,350 --> 00:08:59,200 things that had happened into him in his 240 00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:03,360 life of his interaction with star people 241 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:04,480 well 242 00:09:07,829 --> 00:09:06,320 i had heard these stories when i was a 243 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:07,839 little girl 244 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,360 as well and so 245 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,600 when i when i left 246 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:13,360 the reservation that night all the way 247 00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:15,279 back to the university i was thinking 248 00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:16,880 about 249 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,720 i've heard these stories he's heard 250 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:20,399 these stories how many 251 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,680 other native people have stories to tell 252 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:25,040 so if you listen to the interview and 253 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:26,720 more importantly if you read her books 254 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,240 you'll find that thousands and thousands 255 00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:32,320 of native people had stories to tell 256 00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:34,000 about the star people 257 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:38,240 lore 48 alaska hawaii guatemala mexico 258 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:40,399 honduras stories passed down through 259 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:42,160 generations as well as modern 260 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:45,200 contemporary stories of sightings and of 261 00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:46,560 contact 262 00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,160 so cross culture cross time the ufo et 263 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:52,720 thing holds up really well 264 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,040 now the second way to tackle something 265 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:57,519 like this is to look for the best 266 00:10:02,550 --> 00:09:59,600 evidence the repeatable evidence the 267 00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:02,560 most reliable evidence that cuts through 268 00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:05,279 all the clutter and not to digress but i 269 00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:07,040 think there's kind of a parallel here 270 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:08,720 with the dear death experience stuff i 271 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:09,839 mean if you want to know about that 272 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,800 stuff 273 00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,959 go to the studies done in hospitals in 274 00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:14,399 the cardiac arrest ward where they 275 00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,079 interview the people right there after 276 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:18,399 they've had a near-death experience 277 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:21,120 reliable repeatable accounts 278 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:22,800 by people we trust 279 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:25,600 what's the peril with ufos for me it's 280 00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:28,240 the ufos and nukes thing and the guy 281 00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:29,920 who's done more work on this than 282 00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:32,399 anybody else like 30 years 283 00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:34,480 hundreds and hundreds of interviews with 284 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,360 very highly trusted people of course i'm 285 00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:39,120 talking about the work of robert 286 00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:41,920 hastings who i recently had an email 287 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:44,560 interview with but rather that include 288 00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,399 some of the very brief snippets that we 289 00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:48,800 had there i want to play for you a clip 290 00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:52,480 from his appearance on cnn several years 291 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:53,839 back 292 00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,760 cnn's american morning what's your 293 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:57,279 theory behind what's going on here with 294 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,480 these sightings 295 00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:00,720 documents released via the freedom of 296 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,560 information act confirmed that these 297 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,480 types of incidents have occurred going 298 00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,399 back to 1948 299 00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:08,560 the documents describe saucer-shaped 300 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:11,040 objects whose capabilities are vastly 301 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:12,720 beyond anything that we have the 302 00:11:16,069 --> 00:11:14,640 russians have i think the logical 303 00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:16,079 explanation is we're dealing with 304 00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:18,640 visitors from somewhere else regardless 305 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:21,040 there are a number of cases now i've 306 00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:23,519 interviewed over 120 former or retired 307 00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:25,600 air force personnel who've talked about 308 00:11:29,829 --> 00:11:27,760 ufo incursions at missile sites at 309 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,839 nuclear weapons storage areas the 310 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:31,519 incident at malmstrom air force base 311 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:34,399 montana in 1967 did involve 312 00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:36,480 the appearance of a saucer-shaped object 313 00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,200 above a new nuclear missile launch site 314 00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:41,200 seconds later all 10 of these missiles 315 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:44,160 controlled by this site malfunction and 316 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,000 the two officers involved including 317 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,000 former captain bob salas who was at the 318 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:50,399 press conference on monday by the way 319 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,880 testified that he was sworn to secrecy 320 00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:55,200 and told never to discuss this he kept 321 00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,760 his silence until 1996. all the 322 00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,200 gentlemen who appeared with me at the 323 00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,519 press club believe that the american 324 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,360 people have a right to know the facts 325 00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:06,240 but they didn't necessarily believe that 326 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,680 theory about 327 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:09,360 why those 10 nuclear sites were 328 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:11,680 deactivated why do you believe 329 00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:13,600 why do you believe so strongly that that 330 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,480 was truly happening and that it was the 331 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:19,200 result of ufos as opposed to let's just 332 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:22,399 say a malfunction or a military exercise 333 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,839 well what you've just said is not 334 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,760 entirely correct they all agree that 335 00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:27,600 there was no technical explanation for 336 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,360 what occurred in fact the engineering 337 00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:31,440 reports from boeing corporation stated 338 00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:32,560 just that 339 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:34,480 in fact all seven of the persons who 340 00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,079 appeared with me believe that we are 341 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:38,480 dealing with extraterrestrials some of 342 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,720 them stated it explicitly at the press 343 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:43,040 conference what they do not necessarily 344 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:45,040 agree with three of the three of the 345 00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:47,440 eight three of the seven agreed with me 346 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,160 that these probably represent these 347 00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:53,279 actions represent a signal being sent 348 00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:55,200 i'm of the opinion that whoever aboard 349 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,959 these craft are telling us and the 350 00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:58,959 russians because these things have taken 351 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,600 place in the former soviet union that 352 00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:03,440 humans are playing with fire by 353 00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:04,959 possessing and threatening to use 354 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,279 nuclear weapons that is speculative on 355 00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,760 my part i've always made that clear but 356 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:11,440 the persons who were at the sites who 357 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:12,959 witnessed the craft 358 00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:15,200 say that there was no technology on 359 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:16,639 earth that could account for what they 360 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:17,920 witnessed 361 00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:20,959 so the ufo et thing should be clear the 362 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:23,920 evidence is very substantial and those 363 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:26,959 who can't accept it are revealing 364 00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:29,600 something about their values 365 00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:32,240 or maybe to be more exact what it would 366 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:35,839 feel like for them if they had to accept 367 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:37,040 the data 368 00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:39,360 and face the paradigm shift that it 369 00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:41,120 brings 370 00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:43,360 now of course that's just one person's 371 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:46,160 opinion and my opinion is clearly biased 372 00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,560 by my values and my beliefs 373 00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:50,959 but then that's the process we're all 374 00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:52,480 going through 375 00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:54,639 and that's why i really appreciate jimmy 376 00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:58,160 falun gong for engaging in this dialogue 377 00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,440 in this way 378 00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:01,680 and i hope the dialogue 379 00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:03,279 continues 380 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:05,440 here's part two of my interview with 381 00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:08,160 jimmy fallon gong 382 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:09,839 i like you 383 00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:12,240 prefer history that has a little bit of 384 00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,360 a age to it a little bit of crust to it 385 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,519 because it does settle down and it gives 386 00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:18,959 us some distance from it also 387 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:21,279 emotionally it's kind of hard to even 388 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:23,519 process that at the same time the 389 00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:26,079 problem with that is as it moves further 390 00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:27,920 and further into the 391 00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:29,600 sunset it's 392 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:31,839 more prone to being 393 00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:34,800 rewritten and uh irrecoverably rewritten 394 00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:37,040 in a way that we can't get back to it no 395 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:39,440 one talks about 911 anymore it's like 396 00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:40,959 it's gone 397 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:42,720 it's like no one talks about building 398 00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:45,360 seven what the heck happened with 399 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,519 building seven but you know one of the 400 00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:49,600 points that that i thought would be 401 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,880 interesting 402 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:52,720 to kind of talk about and i don't even 403 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:53,760 know that 404 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:55,839 i might even divide this 405 00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:58,480 interview into two sections because 406 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,320 there are two shows 407 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:02,160 and i also you know kind of suggest we 408 00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:05,440 could even do a a swab cast because 409 00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:07,279 i do one-off interviews with people that 410 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,279 i don't intend to do one-off interviews 411 00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:11,360 with but like the subliminal jihad guys 412 00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:12,959 they don't like me anymore because i 413 00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:14,880 said caleb you're you're a muslim how 414 00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:17,600 can you defend that i had oppermann on 415 00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:19,680 up ed really 416 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:23,120 big tent revival christianity right this 417 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:26,320 is not normal ed no that's not a norm 418 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:27,920 you know so 419 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:31,279 it's like but i i'm surprised when 420 00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:34,399 people are not able to 421 00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:36,959 kind of get over that it just becomes a 422 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:38,720 kind of barrier 423 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:40,720 steven snyder recluse 424 00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:42,160 i really like him i respect him he's 425 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:43,680 been on the show a couple times i've 426 00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:46,000 been on his show once but i can tell 427 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:47,759 it's this kind of 428 00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:51,360 tinfoil left barrier that 429 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:53,600 i just sometimes feel like i can't get 430 00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:56,720 past so if we were gonna divide this 431 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,000 into two shows i think the second show 432 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:02,720 that i would start with is 433 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,440 what's going on with the tinfoil left i 434 00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:07,680 mean what is th what is that you 435 00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:09,600 introduced me to the term 436 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:12,800 who is it what is it and let's dissect 437 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:14,480 that a little bit because i think it's 438 00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:17,600 fascinating to me because i it's not 439 00:16:21,749 --> 00:16:19,759 where i sit in terms of 440 00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:21,759 i'm not interested in left or right i 441 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,759 don't know who is interested in left or 442 00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:25,839 right it all seems like such a farce at 443 00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:29,279 this point but please start with 444 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:31,279 tinfoil left 445 00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:33,600 whether or not you identify with it and 446 00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:35,440 what it is 447 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:38,800 yeah no and i will say as a disclaimer 448 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,000 like i 449 00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:41,839 think that i might have come up with the 450 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:44,160 term i'm sure someone has put those two 451 00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:46,880 words together before 452 00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:49,120 and i 453 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,399 found myself trying to figure out a easy 454 00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,079 term because 455 00:16:57,749 --> 00:16:56,480 on the part of twitter that i'm 456 00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:57,759 frequently on 457 00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:00,800 there was a there still is a very large 458 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:02,800 and prominent click called the dirt bag 459 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,400 left which you know incorporates it's 460 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:08,880 several other major podcasts that you 461 00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:12,240 know i'm not really involved with but 462 00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:14,959 essentially the tin foil left is 463 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:18,400 it's almost like a niche of a niche of a 464 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:21,839 niche because the left in america itself 465 00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:24,079 is kind of a subculture kind of a 466 00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:26,559 marginal one in some ways 467 00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:28,000 and then 468 00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:31,280 on top of that there's sort of like 469 00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:34,400 outside of most political parties 470 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,039 and even outside of 471 00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:38,960 radical left political parties which are 472 00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:41,120 already sort of in shambles in the us 473 00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:44,960 there is a sliver of people who 474 00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:48,240 i guess you could say our enthusiasts of 475 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,320 radical politics who 476 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:52,799 are also enthusiasts of conspiracy 477 00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:56,160 theory and sort of blends the two 478 00:18:00,070 --> 00:17:56,960 and 479 00:18:01,110 --> 00:18:00,080 i would consider myself sort of doing 480 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:01,120 that 481 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:04,480 also the subliminal jihad podcast i 482 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:05,520 i'm 483 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:07,760 mind games is another like i would be 484 00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:09,679 remiss like i don't 485 00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:11,520 there's there's probably a bunch i'm 486 00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:13,200 forgetting but like 487 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:14,799 it's essentially a click of people who 488 00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:15,840 are 489 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:18,400 going like hand in hand like conspiracy 490 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,440 theories 491 00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:21,360 trying to meld it onto a leftist 492 00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:24,080 analysis that tries to be grounded in 493 00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:26,480 material reality 494 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:29,919 but not necessarily denying certain 495 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:32,559 spiritual things happening as well it's 496 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:35,760 a very weird almost anarchic 497 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:38,160 space and it's like 498 00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:40,320 truly not that large so i'm not trying 499 00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:42,480 to make it sound more important than it 500 00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:44,080 is but 501 00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:46,000 i think it is important i can't believe 502 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:48,320 you coined that phrase because 503 00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:50,880 i've run into it again and again and it 504 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:53,120 kind of catches me by surprise i think 505 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:55,760 he can throw opperman in that category i 506 00:19:01,350 --> 00:18:59,280 mean he he kind of outs himself as that 507 00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:01,360 stephen you know when i asked him those 508 00:19:05,669 --> 00:19:03,280 kind of steven snyder recluse from the 509 00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:05,679 farm i asked him that kind of stuff and 510 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:07,760 you know he says he's 511 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,919 kind of more apolitical or kind of right 512 00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:11,440 down the middle but 513 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,360 i don't know he seems kind of 514 00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:15,520 more left-leaning to me 515 00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:17,679 in in a way i guess where i'd start with 516 00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:21,039 the tinfoil left kind of thing is 517 00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:23,840 in what way do you process the reality 518 00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:27,120 of a left versus right if we were to 519 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:28,720 transition from the first interview we 520 00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:32,400 had into the second one i guess i'd say 521 00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:34,880 isn't that the lesson that we get from 522 00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:38,000 program to chill is this idea of left 523 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:39,440 right just kind of 524 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:42,400 crumbles it's just about power and 525 00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:44,400 different people trying to power 526 00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:47,919 influence social engineering control 527 00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:49,520 how does that even 528 00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:53,120 matter from a left right perspective 529 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:55,679 yeah i mean i do think that in some ways 530 00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:58,240 the framework can be 531 00:20:02,710 --> 00:19:59,440 unhelpful 532 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:02,720 on a number of levels for sure 533 00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:04,720 but at the same time 534 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:07,840 i don't think like i do think first and 535 00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:09,840 foremost that things are about power but 536 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,039 it's like 537 00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:13,679 once you have power or like if you have 538 00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:15,679 power what do you do with it 539 00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:18,240 any policy you pick arguably goes in a 540 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:20,559 left or right direction it's also just a 541 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:23,760 framework of analysis too you know 542 00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:27,360 no i don't know i don't i don't get that 543 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:28,960 to just finish that thought i just had 544 00:20:32,789 --> 00:20:31,200 an interview with uh really excellent 545 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:32,799 guys written a book his name is mark 546 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:35,840 gober and he wrote a book 547 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:38,880 the end to upside down liberty and he 548 00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,400 wrote the follow-on to a book that he 549 00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:43,039 wrote on unconsciousness the kind of 550 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,760 skeptical things consciousness science 551 00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:48,080 extended consciousness you know what's 552 00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:49,760 going on near-death experience and all 553 00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:51,600 the rest of this but i thought he did a 554 00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:53,600 great shift he said look 555 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,120 isn't the 556 00:21:00,149 --> 00:20:57,120 dimension that we want to look at this 557 00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:00,159 stuff isn't it really about liberty 558 00:21:03,909 --> 00:21:01,520 because if you look at people who are 559 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:03,919 traditionally on the right they go oh 560 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,159 you're interfering with my liberty well 561 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:08,159 if you look at people on the left 562 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:09,919 they're saying the same thing you know 563 00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:12,240 you are somehow inhibiting the liberty 564 00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:14,080 of you know 565 00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:17,600 disadvantaged groups in a very real way 566 00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:19,960 you know whether it's women or 567 00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:22,000 african-american age whatever group you 568 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:22,960 know 569 00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:24,960 it's the same thing liberty i'd add 570 00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:26,480 another you know when when i hear you 571 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:28,159 talk about class 572 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:30,960 i'm just i'm just like thrown back like 573 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,080 what the heck does he even mean by class 574 00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:36,960 i think about myself you know what class 575 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:40,080 am i in my identification in terms of 576 00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:43,360 class is my grandfather who came over 577 00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:45,520 from greece when he's 14 years old with 578 00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:47,919 the five dollar bill sewn into his 579 00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:51,520 jacket that's all he had i i i'm i'm 580 00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:53,520 wealthy now but that's just two 581 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:56,640 generations i i don't think of myself as 582 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:59,120 that so it and it's like 583 00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:00,960 isn't the dimension that we're really 584 00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:02,960 talking about the way what i think it is 585 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:04,640 when i think of class 586 00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:06,960 it's class mobility 587 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:09,440 so people on the right who are really 588 00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:11,280 where i identified on the right who have 589 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,400 half a brain 590 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,320 say hey it's about class mobility it's 591 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:16,480 about the ability of people to move up 592 00:22:21,110 --> 00:22:18,880 and then there's elitists or some people 593 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:21,120 call them oligarchs and 594 00:22:24,789 --> 00:22:23,120 they definitely don't want that they 595 00:22:26,789 --> 00:22:24,799 want to limit the mobility of the 596 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,799 classes well i think it's the same thing 597 00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:29,520 on the left i mean traditional leftish 598 00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:32,320 politics were like labor unions 599 00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:35,039 labor unions were really in their best 600 00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:38,480 sense about class mobility about let's 601 00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:41,120 get you a living wage so that you can 602 00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,039 move up in the world not so that you can 603 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:45,440 work forever at the ford motor factory 604 00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:46,720 but you know 605 00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:48,480 eventually you'll get enough money and 606 00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:51,760 you can do whatever you want to do class 607 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:54,480 mobility so i don't understand 608 00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:57,120 the left right it seems like such an op 609 00:23:01,270 --> 00:22:59,200 yeah no i mean i think that there's sort 610 00:23:02,950 --> 00:23:01,280 of like this idea that 611 00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:02,960 i mean 612 00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:05,600 not everyone can be like a business 613 00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:07,760 owner not everyone can be the boss like 614 00:23:12,710 --> 00:23:10,799 not everyone can move up and so 615 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:12,720 what what do you mean take something you 616 00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:14,720 take well like 617 00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:16,240 you take something like labor unions 618 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:18,480 like we were talking about and they 619 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:21,520 basically were trying to yeah get a as 620 00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:23,360 large a group of people as possible to 621 00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:25,919 have a good standard of living and then 622 00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:27,200 you said 623 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:29,840 that that way they could move up but 624 00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:30,720 like 625 00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:35,200 everyone who worked to be comfortable 626 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:37,919 and to receive a fair slice of the pie 627 00:23:41,669 --> 00:23:39,520 because they are those are the people 628 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:41,679 actually working not the shareholders 629 00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:42,720 not the 630 00:23:48,149 --> 00:23:46,240 most of the bosses right no like 631 00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:48,159 no that's not that's not that's not 632 00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:51,360 right i mean the whole principle of the 633 00:23:56,549 --> 00:23:53,360 united states and what it's built on and 634 00:23:59,510 --> 00:23:56,559 what really drives it is meritocracy is 635 00:24:02,310 --> 00:23:59,520 that people who deserve it never that's 636 00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:02,320 never actually been true though exactly 637 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:04,559 so but that is that is the goal it's 638 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:07,120 like you know the constitution is life 639 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,799 liberty in the pursuit of happiness and 640 00:24:12,390 --> 00:24:10,400 then we enslave all these people for a 641 00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:12,400 hundred years and then when they're when 642 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:15,120 they're not enslaved they get a reprieve 643 00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:18,320 for about a year and then and then a 644 00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:20,640 bunch of people go in and just enslave 645 00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:21,919 them again in a different way and the 646 00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:23,520 people in the north say ah to hell with 647 00:24:27,909 --> 00:24:26,000 it we're enough we've had enough of that 648 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:27,919 slavery mavery stuff you know let it go 649 00:24:33,669 --> 00:24:30,640 back but still if we don't have the 650 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,679 ideal that we were shooting for 651 00:24:36,789 --> 00:24:35,360 we wouldn't have a chance i mean we 652 00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:36,799 would just be 653 00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:39,279 mired in just this kind of 654 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:41,520 you know it's like the quote 655 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:44,320 people shouldn't fear their government 656 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:46,480 governments should fear their people 657 00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:48,960 well that is what capitalism about is 658 00:24:52,789 --> 00:24:51,360 about that's what democracy is about but 659 00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:52,799 it's not about 660 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:55,120 you know everyone just goes and punches 661 00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:57,840 their time card at ford motor company 662 00:25:02,630 --> 00:24:59,520 and just takes your salary it's about 663 00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:02,640 the best moving forward it's meritocracy 664 00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:05,840 it's what your your show will succeed or 665 00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:08,159 fail based on how good it is no one 666 00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:09,919 needs to force people to listen to 667 00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:12,799 program to chill 668 00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:15,200 yeah i mean and i think that i would 669 00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:16,400 probably 670 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:18,480 just emphasize in terms of the left 671 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:20,480 right thing like 672 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:23,760 yes liberty is a huge focus but liberty 673 00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:26,240 for who like what rights 674 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,120 do 675 00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:29,760 if someone's free to make a million 676 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:32,240 dollars but they literally can't 677 00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:34,240 what what does that matter if they're 678 00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:37,120 starving you know like 679 00:25:41,909 --> 00:25:40,000 so at the end of the day it's like 680 00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:41,919 are we trying to get everyone to have 681 00:25:46,549 --> 00:25:44,320 enough to eat are we trying to make it 682 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,559 so that there can be a few 683 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:48,480 mine owners who are millionaires and 684 00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:50,400 everyone else is stuck in the coal mine 685 00:25:53,909 --> 00:25:52,640 you know that's where labor unions come 686 00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:53,919 in so 687 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,080 that's gonna be a difficult topic to 688 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,480 kind of really parse out we will kind of 689 00:26:00,870 --> 00:26:00,159 switch off of that slightly what else 690 00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:00,880 are you 691 00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:05,600 well basically i just a lot of the 692 00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:08,320 history that i'm excavating is basically 693 00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:10,400 from a perspective of like 694 00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:12,799 the left being sold out by different 695 00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:13,840 forces 696 00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:16,960 and by the left i often mean like labor 697 00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:18,480 unions like 698 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:21,120 popular democracy like 699 00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:23,840 there's a lot of stories of basically 700 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:27,440 these bureaucracies army big business 701 00:26:31,269 --> 00:26:29,520 intelligence agencies trying to steal 702 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:31,279 the power away from 703 00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:35,360 popular democracy parliament congress 704 00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:37,520 you know trying to undermine labor 705 00:26:41,830 --> 00:26:38,880 unions 706 00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:41,840 different political parties so 707 00:26:45,669 --> 00:26:43,679 i would just say it's not that i 708 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:45,679 necessarily try to get hung up on left 709 00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:48,000 versus right but i do think that there 710 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:50,799 is that undermining of democracy that 711 00:26:54,789 --> 00:26:52,400 happens that 712 00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:54,799 is basically a constant through modern 713 00:26:59,350 --> 00:26:56,559 history 714 00:27:02,310 --> 00:26:59,360 okay so i tell you what let's shift 715 00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:02,320 the focus a little bit but in a way i 716 00:27:07,029 --> 00:27:04,559 think it's related and that is this kind 717 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:07,039 of world view collide 718 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:08,480 kind of thing 719 00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:10,240 that i think is so fascinating because i 720 00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:11,840 think that's partly what's going on with 721 00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,799 the tinfoil left versus the tinfoil hat 722 00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:17,200 kind of truther community you know and 723 00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:19,760 the tinfoil left which is again 724 00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:21,440 fantastic term for you to coin i think 725 00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:22,720 it's i think it's going to work i think 726 00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:24,559 it's going to have tremendous legs 727 00:27:27,669 --> 00:27:25,840 because everyone knows immediately what 728 00:27:30,310 --> 00:27:27,679 you're talking about but 729 00:27:32,789 --> 00:27:30,320 this has popped up several times and 730 00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:32,799 then i heard it from you as well and 731 00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:35,520 it's almost like a repeat of the quote 732 00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:37,120 it reminds me of the flat earth stuff 733 00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:38,320 that's like 734 00:27:42,029 --> 00:27:40,080 wait a minute that's just completely 735 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:42,039 insane why are people 736 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:44,799 regurgitating that over and over again 737 00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:45,520 and 738 00:27:49,430 --> 00:27:47,279 the way you said it is 739 00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:49,440 this is regarding ufos 740 00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:50,640 you said 741 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:52,320 just apply occam's razor i don't 742 00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:54,240 understand why we'd ever think there 743 00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:56,000 could be something to ufos when the 744 00:27:59,669 --> 00:27:57,600 overwhelming number of sightings occur 745 00:28:02,310 --> 00:27:59,679 in commonwealth countries around air 746 00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,320 force braces where air force officers 747 00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:04,559 trained in psychological operations 748 00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,840 specifically try to mislead people about 749 00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:09,520 what's going on 750 00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:11,039 and i'm like 751 00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:13,840 that just doesn't connect with 752 00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:16,799 any of the reality of ufos which have 753 00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:20,399 been studied by a bunch of really really 754 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:22,960 smart people do you want to speak to 755 00:28:28,710 --> 00:28:25,600 that for a second before i kind of yeah 756 00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:28,720 well i think that it's not like i'm not 757 00:28:33,909 --> 00:28:31,200 denying that you know things appear in 758 00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:33,919 the sky that we can't explain 759 00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:38,159 you know i just think that perhaps the 760 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:41,120 more strict logical explanation would be 761 00:28:46,950 --> 00:28:44,559 this specific several bureaucracies 762 00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:46,960 these intelligence agencies like the air 763 00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:49,120 force intelligence that are 764 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:51,440 specifically trying to keep people from 765 00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:53,760 knowing their military secrets 766 00:28:58,870 --> 00:28:57,120 and i think at different points the ufo 767 00:29:01,510 --> 00:28:58,880 thing has been 768 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:01,520 for different purposes like early on in 769 00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:03,200 the cold war 770 00:29:06,549 --> 00:29:04,320 i think they were probably trying to 771 00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:06,559 flush out soviet spies 772 00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:08,799 i think at other points 773 00:29:12,630 --> 00:29:09,760 it's 774 00:29:15,269 --> 00:29:12,640 performed some very interesting things 775 00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:15,279 in culture you know in the 60s and 70s 776 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:17,360 and 80s and 90s i think that there were 777 00:29:21,430 --> 00:29:19,840 different iterations of it and people 778 00:29:23,190 --> 00:29:21,440 have talked about how 779 00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:23,200 you know there were a lot of grays in 780 00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:24,960 this certain period 781 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:27,200 there was like a weird bubble of seeing 782 00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:30,240 pleiadians over in this period of time 783 00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:31,520 you know like 784 00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:34,240 the first ufos were all talking about oh 785 00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:36,159 we shouldn't do atomic testing and now 786 00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:38,559 they're talking about like 787 00:29:43,669 --> 00:29:41,039 you know they're doing probing and 788 00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:43,679 so it's there's no continuity with like 789 00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:46,320 the quote-unquote aliens 790 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:48,159 which is sort of separate from seeing 791 00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:50,240 things in the sky right 792 00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:51,440 yeah but 793 00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:54,080 what i read the overwhelming number of 794 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,440 sightings occur in commonwealth 795 00:29:58,870 --> 00:29:57,679 countries around air force bases i was 796 00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:58,880 really surprised to hear that because it 797 00:30:03,830 --> 00:30:01,440 just isn't it isn't at all accurate it 798 00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:03,840 doesn't conform to the real data in the 799 00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:05,600 same way that like so you dig in you do 800 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:08,880 these fantastic in-depth looks at nazi 801 00:30:11,190 --> 00:30:10,240 germany it'd be like somebody coming 802 00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:11,200 along and 803 00:30:16,549 --> 00:30:13,679 you talking to them about uh goring and 804 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:16,559 borman and hess and they're like 805 00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:19,039 who are who are those people and you'd 806 00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:20,000 go like 807 00:30:24,230 --> 00:30:21,919 wow this guy doesn't really know 808 00:30:25,669 --> 00:30:24,240 anything other than adolf hitler and i'm 809 00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:25,679 not trying to be mean i'm just trying to 810 00:30:31,190 --> 00:30:27,039 say 811 00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:31,200 know who terry lovelace is do you know 812 00:30:34,870 --> 00:30:33,200 travis walton is do you know who betty 813 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:34,880 and barney hill are do you know who 814 00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:38,080 chris bledsoe uh is i mean yes 815 00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:40,480 the hills were almost transparently 816 00:30:45,269 --> 00:30:43,919 abducted by like intelligence no 817 00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:45,279 not at all 818 00:30:48,830 --> 00:30:46,960 have you listened to interviews with 819 00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:48,840 betty and barney hill's 820 00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:50,559 relatives 821 00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:52,159 number one there's a history of 822 00:30:57,430 --> 00:30:54,960 abduction in that family 823 00:30:59,990 --> 00:30:57,440 betty hill i forget her maiden name her 824 00:31:02,549 --> 00:31:00,000 mother says that she had contact 825 00:31:04,789 --> 00:31:02,559 and so it's the same story you hear over 826 00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:04,799 and over again but even if you go like 827 00:31:09,269 --> 00:31:06,720 the most reliable way you'd want to look 828 00:31:11,669 --> 00:31:09,279 at this is cross culture across time 829 00:31:14,310 --> 00:31:11,679 right so have you ever heard of artie 830 00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,320 six killer clark probably not 831 00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:17,200 montana state university uh native 832 00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:19,360 american person not that that matters 833 00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:21,760 except that she by virtue of that was 834 00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:24,720 able to gain access to a bunch of native 835 00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:26,640 american communities that other people 836 00:31:30,630 --> 00:31:28,559 maybe couldn't so she goes in and she 837 00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:30,640 goes so tell me and they all just tell 838 00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:32,960 her up and down you know the star people 839 00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:35,840 and the craft and the ufos and she talks 840 00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:37,600 to very old people she talks to younger 841 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:39,039 people she talks about stories that have 842 00:31:42,789 --> 00:31:40,880 been passed around and it's unbelievable 843 00:31:44,789 --> 00:31:42,799 she publishes this book you've never 844 00:31:46,389 --> 00:31:44,799 heard of it because it doesn't fit into 845 00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:46,399 that paradigm then she goes and she 846 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:47,600 writes another book and she goes down 847 00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:48,880 central america she goes to south 848 00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:50,480 america it's like 849 00:31:55,430 --> 00:31:53,200 when you say the vast majority of these 850 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:55,440 cases are in commonwealth overwhelming 851 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:57,440 you say overwhelming number of sightings 852 00:32:01,909 --> 00:31:59,440 occur in commonwealth countries that's 853 00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:01,919 just completely not true go to 854 00:32:08,789 --> 00:32:05,120 go to youtube like the mexico sightings 855 00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:08,799 all over mexico brazil all over brazil 856 00:32:14,070 --> 00:32:11,760 all over the world but across cultures 857 00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:14,080 across time these things have been 858 00:32:20,149 --> 00:32:17,120 reported but there are u.s military 859 00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:20,159 bases in all of those countries 860 00:32:23,669 --> 00:32:22,000 i i just can't i mean to me that's 861 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:23,679 something there's not a cons yeah but 862 00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:26,240 there's not a consistent number of ufo 863 00:32:31,029 --> 00:32:29,279 sightings it certainly spikes after the 864 00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:31,039 invention of 865 00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:32,240 airplanes 866 00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:34,320 is it would you agree with that it 867 00:32:40,389 --> 00:32:37,519 spikes after the invention of phones too 868 00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:40,399 with uh with cameras on them so i i just 869 00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:41,679 think it's 870 00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:42,480 you're 871 00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:48,480 opposite of what you do on on applying 872 00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:51,679 it to the the history like of germany 873 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:52,640 like 874 00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:56,480 to me the pull out point from the part 875 00:33:01,669 --> 00:32:59,360 we talked about in part one is that we 876 00:33:03,669 --> 00:33:01,679 now have to understand 877 00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:03,679 the formation of the nazi party 878 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:06,640 differently because of its connection to 879 00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:08,080 intelligence 880 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:13,600 shouldn't fall for the kind of 881 00:33:20,549 --> 00:33:16,880 standard lone nut assassin oh my gosh 882 00:33:22,149 --> 00:33:20,559 you know well to me it's the same thing 883 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:22,159 here it's like 884 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:24,720 the real stories we have all directly 885 00:33:28,950 --> 00:33:26,480 contradict what you're saying do you 886 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:28,960 know who paul benowitz is 887 00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:30,000 yes 888 00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:32,640 okay so paul benowitz so what do you 889 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:34,640 know about that story 890 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:37,440 yeah i mean i read mirage man so 891 00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:40,240 so he he's just an ordinary guy he's a 892 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,600 small business owner owns like an 893 00:33:44,470 --> 00:33:43,200 electrical contracting company or 894 00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:44,480 something like that 895 00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:47,600 and he sees these lights in the base 896 00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:49,919 across from them you know it's way out 897 00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:52,640 in the distance but he reports it and 898 00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:55,760 then he becomes a victim and the fact 899 00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:57,840 that they even came out and acknowledged 900 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:58,799 this is 901 00:34:02,710 --> 00:34:01,200 scary that they would but this 902 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:02,720 attempt to 903 00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:05,519 discredit him by doing kind of an mk 904 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,519 ultra mine control i mean they would 905 00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:09,599 show up and the air force was pretending 906 00:34:13,990 --> 00:34:12,560 like they were interested only to go in 907 00:34:16,069 --> 00:34:14,000 his house and rearrange his furniture 908 00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:16,079 when he wasn't looking so that he'd go 909 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:17,520 oh paul what do you mean nothing 910 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:19,520 happened they're trying to drive him 911 00:34:25,349 --> 00:34:22,320 crazy in order to discredit his 912 00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:25,359 testimony that wouldn't fit in with what 913 00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:27,040 you're saying at all and we see this 914 00:34:31,109 --> 00:34:28,800 repeated over and over again if you go 915 00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:31,119 look at what where did he where did what 916 00:34:34,629 --> 00:34:33,119 like where did he see the thing that he 917 00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:34,639 saw 918 00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:36,560 yes he yeah but that 919 00:34:43,270 --> 00:34:38,960 begs the question so he saw it on an air 920 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:43,280 force base so to suggest then this is an 921 00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:45,599 earth-based technology 922 00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:47,440 and that we kind of 923 00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:50,320 spun it out of you know our really bravo 924 00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:51,679 our planes and 925 00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:54,320 it doesn't fit with the data we have 926 00:34:59,270 --> 00:34:56,560 right i mean we can kind of trace the 927 00:35:01,670 --> 00:34:59,280 technology of flight back pretty far 928 00:35:04,069 --> 00:35:01,680 and that at the point at which ufos 929 00:35:06,790 --> 00:35:04,079 intersect with that is not at a point 930 00:35:10,230 --> 00:35:06,800 when we had the technological capability 931 00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:10,240 to do some of this stuff it just doesn't 932 00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:12,320 it just doesn't fit 933 00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:14,960 yeah but i mean with the benowitz case 934 00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:15,760 like 935 00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:17,440 all i hear is 936 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:19,359 he saw something at a base and then 937 00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:21,440 military intelligence started to [\h__\h] 938 00:35:25,829 --> 00:35:23,680 with him and 939 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:25,839 like i'm not necessarily denying that 940 00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:28,240 there could be something with ufos in 941 00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:30,720 addition to that i'm just saying that 942 00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:34,720 a lot of the ufo phenomenon is explained 943 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:35,440 by 944 00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:37,599 these agencies that exist specifically 945 00:35:42,310 --> 00:35:40,240 to push out disinformation i don't mean 946 00:35:43,109 --> 00:35:42,320 to say that there's nothing else going 947 00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:43,119 on 948 00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:45,119 yeah but you know back to your occam's 949 00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:47,280 razor thing the occam's razor cuts 950 00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:48,400 really 951 00:35:52,470 --> 00:35:50,480 more cleanly the other way 952 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:52,480 is that the attempt to 953 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,200 muddy the waters with misinformation is 954 00:35:59,589 --> 00:35:57,359 because they're hiding something that is 955 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:59,599 real i mean if you go back and you trace 956 00:36:01,829 --> 00:36:00,640 like 957 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:01,839 i don't know if you're familiar with the 958 00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:04,160 wilbert smith memo that's released in 959 00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:05,920 the 50s and he's a guy 960 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:09,280 in canada who is at the weird desk in 961 00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:12,640 canada the highest level talking to the 962 00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:15,040 prime minister about all this strange 963 00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:16,880 stuff that's popping up in the skies not 964 00:36:20,230 --> 00:36:18,960 all the time but reports 965 00:36:24,630 --> 00:36:20,240 pilots 966 00:36:26,870 --> 00:36:24,640 they're all saying at various times like 967 00:36:29,589 --> 00:36:26,880 they have throughout history we're 968 00:36:31,349 --> 00:36:29,599 seeing these things so finally the 969 00:36:33,270 --> 00:36:31,359 highest level people in the canadian 970 00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:33,280 government prime minister says hey go 971 00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:35,280 down there and see what the yanks know 972 00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:37,599 and he comes down to the u.s and he 973 00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:39,760 meets with phantom our bush and he meets 974 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:41,760 with all the other 975 00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:43,760 aviary people which whether you want to 976 00:36:47,430 --> 00:36:45,520 believe it or not best evidence is that 977 00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:47,440 it's true and he comes back and he 978 00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:49,680 writes a memo and this memo is top 979 00:36:54,230 --> 00:36:52,000 secret it's only revealed 980 00:36:56,310 --> 00:36:54,240 accidentally through a foia request in 981 00:36:58,710 --> 00:36:56,320 canada and you can trace the legitimacy 982 00:37:00,870 --> 00:36:58,720 of that but it certainly doesn't look 983 00:37:03,510 --> 00:37:00,880 like anything that was snuck out or 984 00:37:06,069 --> 00:37:03,520 planted or intended to get out and he 985 00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:06,079 says hey yeah i went down there and this 986 00:37:11,589 --> 00:37:09,200 is the 1950s he says this is the highest 987 00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:11,599 top secret thing that is going on in the 988 00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:12,640 u.s 989 00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:14,560 and the other thing that he says is he 990 00:37:19,349 --> 00:37:16,960 says there's a mental phenomenon aspect 991 00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:19,359 to this that they're very interested in 992 00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:20,720 and that would be the 993 00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,960 telepathic part is that they're having 994 00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:24,320 extended 995 00:37:29,430 --> 00:37:26,960 consciousness communication with these 996 00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:29,440 beings so yeah that's basically what 997 00:37:34,829 --> 00:37:32,320 kiel said is that it's not necessarily a 998 00:37:38,310 --> 00:37:34,839 physical phenomenon 999 00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:38,320 well it's not necessarily but the way 1000 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:40,000 that cuts is 1001 00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:42,880 what is reality anyway you know it's 1002 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:44,160 kind of uh 1003 00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:46,400 gets into some deeper philosophical and 1004 00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:48,960 also physics kind of things in terms of 1005 00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:50,800 consciousness is consciousness 1006 00:37:55,990 --> 00:37:53,200 fundamental or is matter fundamental how 1007 00:37:58,069 --> 00:37:56,000 flexible is time how flexible is matter 1008 00:38:00,470 --> 00:37:58,079 but if we're going to stay in this 1009 00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:00,480 consensus reality where there are things 1010 00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:02,480 that are out there that we can measure 1011 00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:04,800 yes these things can't have a physical 1012 00:38:10,630 --> 00:38:07,040 property yes there can be spaceships 1013 00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:10,640 from other planets and yes jacques valet 1014 00:38:13,670 --> 00:38:11,440 who 1015 00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:13,680 you know writes all these books about 1016 00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:15,200 the connections to fairies and all the 1017 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:19,599 rest of that also has spacecraft pieces 1018 00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:22,400 in his pocket that he analyzes with the 1019 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:23,200 most 1020 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:26,160 technical and sophisticated microscopes 1021 00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:28,640 we have and says we can't make this 1022 00:38:33,829 --> 00:38:31,920 in this world so the the idea that it's 1023 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:33,839 somehow all consciousness or that there 1024 00:38:36,790 --> 00:38:35,760 isn't a nuts and bolts coming is again 1025 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:36,800 just kind of 1026 00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:39,359 a punt to me of the whole thing and i 1027 00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:40,560 don't know where this whole thing got 1028 00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:46,390 yeah no 1029 00:38:50,950 --> 00:38:48,640 i definitely think that things are 1030 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:50,960 always much more complicated than they 1031 00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:52,240 seem 1032 00:38:56,950 --> 00:38:55,040 so let me ask you this 1033 00:38:59,990 --> 00:38:56,960 so we hashed it out there on the ufo 1034 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:00,000 thing but we didn't really hash it out 1035 00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:03,359 so what is the world view collide thing 1036 00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:05,520 on that and how does the world view 1037 00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:07,760 collide thing 1038 00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:10,480 really ever get resolved so taking you 1039 00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:13,119 and i out of it for a minute but we just 1040 00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:16,000 went through a worldview collide kind of 1041 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:17,520 discussion 1042 00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:20,000 how are these things supposed to 1043 00:39:25,510 --> 00:39:22,240 resolve themselves 1044 00:39:27,750 --> 00:39:25,520 well i mean i think that like 1045 00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:27,760 you were pretty forceful on the 1046 00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:30,560 existence of a unidentified flying 1047 00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:34,320 object phenomenon i think that there is 1048 00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:36,480 also overwhelming evidence of 1049 00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:39,119 intelligence agencies 1050 00:39:43,030 --> 00:39:41,760 infiltrating the ufo community 1051 00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:43,040 and you can 1052 00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:46,320 make various sort of assumptions as to 1053 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:47,920 why 1054 00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:50,960 ranging from monitoring it keeping tabs 1055 00:39:55,349 --> 00:39:52,880 on it all the way to 1056 00:39:57,670 --> 00:39:55,359 astroturfing it completely like in 1057 00:40:00,550 --> 00:39:57,680 certain times and places they seem to 1058 00:40:02,550 --> 00:40:00,560 have just outright funded it so like 1059 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:02,560 there are probably a bunch of reasons 1060 00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:04,640 why they would do that so 1061 00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:07,680 how do we reconcile the fact that 1062 00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:09,920 there's that phenomenon and then there's 1063 00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:12,400 intelligence agencies absolutely just 1064 00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:15,839 caked throughout the ufo community like 1065 00:40:20,870 --> 00:40:18,560 i don't know if it's necessarily going 1066 00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:20,880 to be just one answer you know 1067 00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:23,280 i get you on part of that 1068 00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:25,440 but the other part of it that is 1069 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:27,520 troubling to me because it is also i 1070 00:40:30,870 --> 00:40:28,480 think 1071 00:40:33,349 --> 00:40:30,880 where we're at in a culture in terms of 1072 00:40:36,390 --> 00:40:33,359 the larger bigger picture stuff 1073 00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:36,400 so the i guess my process in that it's 1074 00:40:40,950 --> 00:40:39,440 the black swan thing and the black swan 1075 00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:40,960 thing is that 1076 00:40:46,030 --> 00:40:43,440 if you think all swans are white 1077 00:40:47,829 --> 00:40:46,040 you only need one black swan the 1078 00:40:50,470 --> 00:40:47,839 falsification 1079 00:40:54,309 --> 00:40:50,480 is not as hard as you might think 1080 00:40:58,309 --> 00:40:54,319 and the falsification of the idea that 1081 00:41:00,470 --> 00:40:58,319 ufos are an invention of the air force 1082 00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:00,480 or an intelligence project or something 1083 00:41:05,109 --> 00:41:03,520 like that is pretty easy just when you 1084 00:41:07,750 --> 00:41:05,119 like i say you just go cross culture 1085 00:41:10,950 --> 00:41:07,760 across time and there they are 1086 00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:10,960 you can't jam that back into 1087 00:41:15,109 --> 00:41:13,280 ufos are a product of the united states 1088 00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:15,119 military it just doesn't fit it's a 1089 00:41:20,150 --> 00:41:18,240 black swan what do you think about that 1090 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:20,160 yeah i mean i think that that is 1091 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:23,200 certainly a good point at the same time 1092 00:41:26,069 --> 00:41:24,240 like 1093 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,079 you could still 1094 00:41:30,630 --> 00:41:28,319 take the set of data and say 1095 00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:30,640 overwhelmingly like 1096 00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:32,960 99.999 1097 00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:34,880 of swans 1098 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:38,319 or ufos or are probably 1099 00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:40,000 you know 1100 00:41:45,190 --> 00:41:42,880 some sort of either projection 1101 00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:45,200 using a technology which they have 1102 00:41:48,390 --> 00:41:47,440 patents for that projecting things into 1103 00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:48,400 the sky 1104 00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:50,560 or you know 1105 00:41:55,109 --> 00:41:52,240 just new craft that they're 1106 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:55,119 experimenting with because there's 1107 00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:57,200 you know like 1108 00:42:02,309 --> 00:41:59,359 you can't say that there's not a huge 1109 00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:02,319 core like correlation between ufos and 1110 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:05,440 u.s military bases like 1111 00:42:08,069 --> 00:42:07,280 not to say that that's everything but 1112 00:42:10,150 --> 00:42:08,079 like 1113 00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:10,160 there's a very high correlation there 1114 00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:11,440 and 1115 00:42:17,030 --> 00:42:14,319 that you know like logic would 1116 00:42:17,829 --> 00:42:17,040 sort of correlate those two right and i 1117 00:42:20,870 --> 00:42:17,839 think 1118 00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:20,880 the shorter more logical answer would be 1119 00:42:25,910 --> 00:42:23,440 that's probably experimental craft 1120 00:42:28,309 --> 00:42:25,920 but the fundamental question is is there 1121 00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:28,319 a reality to 1122 00:42:32,950 --> 00:42:32,079 beings from other planets visiting 1123 00:42:35,510 --> 00:42:32,960 earth 1124 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:35,520 that's what we really want to know so if 1125 00:42:38,790 --> 00:42:37,040 it's one another 1126 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,800 they're uh they're coming from colab of 1127 00:42:41,829 --> 00:42:40,560 course 1128 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:41,839 what's called 1129 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:44,400 i'm just it's it's the uh mormon planet 1130 00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:46,480 i'm just screwing around 1131 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:49,440 well i i think it's i i think it's this 1132 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,720 this is the kind of stuff that i think 1133 00:42:55,109 --> 00:42:52,720 keeps popping up it's like when you get 1134 00:42:57,190 --> 00:42:55,119 into the stuff that kind of gets more to 1135 00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:57,200 your field and the work that you've done 1136 00:43:02,710 --> 00:42:59,760 on program to chill is when you get into 1137 00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:02,720 esotericism which is really kind of code 1138 00:43:07,109 --> 00:43:04,880 speak for occult and which is really 1139 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:07,119 kind of a code speak for satanic but 1140 00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:10,079 none of us can process that fully again 1141 00:43:13,589 --> 00:43:11,599 i would suggest is because we're 1142 00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:13,599 hamstrung by this 1143 00:43:17,510 --> 00:43:16,720 very very cultish kind of religious kind 1144 00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:17,520 of 1145 00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:19,520 i have the book and the book says 1146 00:43:23,510 --> 00:43:21,440 everything we could ever want to know 1147 00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:23,520 about that but when you do talk to 1148 00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:26,240 academics like i talked to the guy a guy 1149 00:43:30,550 --> 00:43:27,680 from ohio state university wrote a book 1150 00:43:31,990 --> 00:43:30,560 on scientology and he'll tell you l ron 1151 00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:32,000 hubbard and jack parsons are out in the 1152 00:43:36,630 --> 00:43:34,480 desert and they're trying to do the the 1153 00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:36,640 rights to bring forth the antichrist and 1154 00:43:40,309 --> 00:43:38,720 then he'll kind of just go right on and 1155 00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:40,319 talk about the rest of the scientology 1156 00:43:45,190 --> 00:43:43,200 story and you want to go well 1157 00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:45,200 wait you know and he said something that 1158 00:43:49,829 --> 00:43:47,200 i'll hear you take say it doesn't matter 1159 00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:49,839 so much whether it's real or not what 1160 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:51,839 matters is that they believed it and i'm 1161 00:43:55,270 --> 00:43:52,720 like 1162 00:43:57,829 --> 00:43:55,280 well no it's kind of the opposite it 1163 00:44:00,630 --> 00:43:57,839 matters if they believed it but 1164 00:44:03,589 --> 00:44:00,640 the most fundamental question is 1165 00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:03,599 is there an extended consciousness realm 1166 00:44:07,990 --> 00:44:05,119 might that exist 1167 00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:08,000 and might that have an influence on 1168 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:11,280 humanity as it as we're living it in 1169 00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:13,839 this space-time reality 1170 00:44:18,309 --> 00:44:15,760 that is a question that 1171 00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:18,319 i would say has kind of been answered by 1172 00:44:22,190 --> 00:44:20,960 science in the last 10 years in terms of 1173 00:44:24,069 --> 00:44:22,200 the work that's been done in 1174 00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:24,079 parapsychology and in near-death 1175 00:44:27,829 --> 00:44:26,640 experience reincarnation work at major 1176 00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:27,839 universities and published in 1177 00:44:33,510 --> 00:44:30,800 peer-reviewed papers it's just like 1178 00:44:35,990 --> 00:44:33,520 the the word hasn't got out that yeah 1179 00:44:38,470 --> 00:44:36,000 the best bet is that yes there is a 1180 00:44:40,710 --> 00:44:38,480 reality to that so let's start getting 1181 00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:40,720 serious about what that means do you 1182 00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:42,960 have any thoughts on that 1183 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:44,880 yeah like 1184 00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:47,440 it's been commented upon by lots of 1185 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:48,960 people that like 1186 00:44:53,990 --> 00:44:51,440 rich people like aleister crowley you 1187 00:44:56,150 --> 00:44:54,000 know take your pick like people like to 1188 00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:56,160 do magic it's almost 1189 00:44:59,510 --> 00:44:57,440 it 1190 00:45:01,589 --> 00:44:59,520 rich people and poor people do magic and 1191 00:45:03,750 --> 00:45:01,599 they mostly do different types that 1192 00:45:04,390 --> 00:45:03,760 overlap right but 1193 00:45:28,870 --> 00:45:04,400 i 1194 00:45:30,630 --> 00:45:28,880 crowley you know 1195 00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:30,640 any one of these people 1196 00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:33,839 were out there just doing weird rituals 1197 00:45:37,829 --> 00:45:36,079 in the desert and then they didn't 1198 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:37,839 notice anything and then they just went 1199 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:40,319 along their way you know like 1200 00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:43,760 i do think that there is something to 1201 00:45:49,190 --> 00:45:46,720 magic i'm not necessarily 1202 00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:49,200 advocating that people there for 1203 00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:51,599 practice magic you know what i'm saying 1204 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:53,680 oh completely i mean 1205 00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:56,480 i would almost suggest the opposite i 1206 00:46:01,750 --> 00:45:58,640 would i'm not a christian i'm not a 1207 00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:01,760 religious person but it does seem to me 1208 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:04,240 that there is a moral imperative 1209 00:46:09,030 --> 00:46:06,000 there is good 1210 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:09,040 there is light there is darkness and 1211 00:46:13,109 --> 00:46:11,040 it's kind of an as below so above kind 1212 00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:13,119 of thing that's how that's how i process 1213 00:46:17,030 --> 00:46:15,040 all the data that i've encountered is 1214 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:17,040 you know just look around look around 1215 00:46:21,910 --> 00:46:19,040 our world our here and now world 1216 00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:21,920 you don't have to look very far to see 1217 00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:23,760 darkness in a way that we don't totally 1218 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:25,520 understand why people are drawn to that 1219 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:27,359 why are you doing such destructive 1220 00:46:31,430 --> 00:46:29,280 things to you another how does that 1221 00:46:34,390 --> 00:46:31,440 really benefit you but people do it 1222 00:46:40,150 --> 00:46:36,870 yeah exactly and like 1223 00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:40,160 i maybe we'll get into it but like there 1224 00:46:45,349 --> 00:46:43,839 are all types of magical practices 1225 00:46:48,550 --> 00:46:45,359 and 1226 00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:48,560 a lot of them are probably benign 1227 00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:50,880 i in fact i can almost attest to that 1228 00:46:57,030 --> 00:46:54,240 but like there is a specific subset of 1229 00:47:00,470 --> 00:46:57,040 people who are interested in black magic 1230 00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:00,480 and black magic specifically 1231 00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:02,960 is all about contacting non-human 1232 00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:05,200 entities to get them to do things for 1233 00:47:09,030 --> 00:47:06,400 them and 1234 00:47:10,390 --> 00:47:09,040 it's always tied up in doing 1235 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:10,400 acts of violence 1236 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:12,319 certain sexual acts 1237 00:47:16,630 --> 00:47:14,240 and there's a whole framework for doing 1238 00:47:17,670 --> 00:47:16,640 it in order to do these things 1239 00:47:19,910 --> 00:47:17,680 and 1240 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:19,920 then it becomes very very concerning 1241 00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:22,800 when you perceive certain 1242 00:47:27,270 --> 00:47:25,359 powerful people doing that 1243 00:47:29,270 --> 00:47:27,280 like i think a lot of people were a 1244 00:47:30,230 --> 00:47:29,280 little clued into that with epstein and 1245 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:30,240 his 1246 00:47:36,829 --> 00:47:34,880 in the caribbean right that was 1247 00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:36,839 certainly one of the starting points for 1248 00:47:40,870 --> 00:47:39,200 me well one of the other starting points 1249 00:47:42,790 --> 00:47:40,880 for a lot of people was pizzagate but 1250 00:47:44,549 --> 00:47:42,800 i'm not sure you're 1251 00:47:47,109 --> 00:47:44,559 kind of too what are you thinking about 1252 00:47:48,870 --> 00:47:47,119 pizzagate and uh to what extent are you 1253 00:47:50,470 --> 00:47:48,880 viewing this through an exclusively 1254 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:50,480 christian lens 1255 00:47:54,549 --> 00:47:52,960 i would say not exclusively christian 1256 00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:54,559 like i was not 1257 00:47:59,109 --> 00:47:57,359 particularly tuned into 1258 00:48:00,150 --> 00:47:59,119 black magic 1259 00:48:01,990 --> 00:48:00,160 when i was 1260 00:48:04,230 --> 00:48:02,000 at my most devout 1261 00:48:06,630 --> 00:48:04,240 i sort of got into this first and 1262 00:48:09,349 --> 00:48:06,640 foremost through looking at 1263 00:48:11,349 --> 00:48:09,359 intelligence agencies you know more of 1264 00:48:13,349 --> 00:48:11,359 the financial stuff 1265 00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:13,359 and and then i kept seeing this 1266 00:48:19,270 --> 00:48:16,000 correlation between certain people being 1267 00:48:21,430 --> 00:48:19,280 interested in magic also and i just 1268 00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:21,440 don't see them being interested in 1269 00:48:25,589 --> 00:48:22,880 something that is 1270 00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:25,599 purely spiritual that has no 1271 00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:27,839 tangible relation to like you know what 1272 00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:30,079 i'm saying like people don't put time 1273 00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:32,800 and effort into things for no payoff 1274 00:48:36,549 --> 00:48:34,720 right although it gets complicated in 1275 00:48:38,710 --> 00:48:36,559 the same way that the 1276 00:48:40,790 --> 00:48:38,720 the nazi financing gets complicated and 1277 00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:40,800 we say you know the industrialist that 1278 00:48:45,430 --> 00:48:43,200 you document in the whole series you do 1279 00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:45,440 on the financing of hitler are all over 1280 00:48:48,870 --> 00:48:47,280 the board they're not we can't assume 1281 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:48,880 that they're all anti-semitic and you 1282 00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:50,800 kind of point that out and we can't 1283 00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:52,480 assume that they're all 1284 00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:54,480 even pro-nazi a lot of them are just 1285 00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:56,079 being strategic and they're placing 1286 00:49:00,390 --> 00:48:57,760 their bets all over the place and i 1287 00:49:03,030 --> 00:49:00,400 think the same thing is going on 1288 00:49:04,870 --> 00:49:03,040 here right i mean you 1289 00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:04,880 you there's a certain go along to get 1290 00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:09,040 along aspect to politics certainly so 1291 00:49:13,589 --> 00:49:12,000 how are you processing the pizzagate 1292 00:49:15,670 --> 00:49:13,599 thing because again it the worldview 1293 00:49:17,510 --> 00:49:15,680 collide the other thing i get from the 1294 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:17,520 tin foil left when i talk about 1295 00:49:22,309 --> 00:49:20,640 pizzagate and they go oh yeah pizzagate 1296 00:49:24,630 --> 00:49:22,319 that's where a guy goes in and shoots up 1297 00:49:27,270 --> 00:49:24,640 a pizza restaurant and i'm like 1298 00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:27,280 well no it's it's where they 1299 00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:28,640 tried to 1300 00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:31,200 submarine hillary clinton by releasing 1301 00:49:36,549 --> 00:49:33,920 all these emails that showed 1302 00:49:38,870 --> 00:49:36,559 her strange connection to 1303 00:49:41,430 --> 00:49:38,880 occult practices that 1304 00:49:44,230 --> 00:49:41,440 because so much the population is 1305 00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:44,240 completely mesmerized by this christian 1306 00:49:49,430 --> 00:49:47,920 motif any hint of occult practices 1307 00:49:51,910 --> 00:49:49,440 connected with these people is going to 1308 00:49:54,309 --> 00:49:51,920 seriously damage her politically 1309 00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:54,319 that to me seems like clearly the intent 1310 00:49:58,870 --> 00:49:56,480 of the emails and there was enough 1311 00:50:01,750 --> 00:49:58,880 substance to the emails that it just 1312 00:50:03,109 --> 00:50:01,760 generated this huge storm on twitter and 1313 00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:03,119 on social media 1314 00:50:06,150 --> 00:50:04,160 but then 1315 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:06,160 again it's a rewrite of history when i 1316 00:50:10,390 --> 00:50:08,079 hear these people say yeah it's about 1317 00:50:14,230 --> 00:50:10,400 this wacky right-wing guy who shot up a 1318 00:50:16,069 --> 00:50:14,240 pizza parlor no it's about the emails 1319 00:50:17,589 --> 00:50:16,079 yeah no because that's the thing there 1320 00:50:19,829 --> 00:50:17,599 are so many 1321 00:50:21,829 --> 00:50:19,839 aspects to pizzagate because first and 1322 00:50:23,109 --> 00:50:21,839 foremost that restaurant the guy who 1323 00:50:25,670 --> 00:50:23,119 owns it 1324 00:50:28,309 --> 00:50:25,680 probably well okay i won't say anything 1325 00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:28,319 that could get me sued he seemed pretty 1326 00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:29,359 creepy 1327 00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:31,359 um the emails 1328 00:50:36,309 --> 00:50:34,480 the timing of them was absolutely 1329 00:50:38,790 --> 00:50:36,319 designed to tank her 1330 00:50:40,710 --> 00:50:38,800 for sure that was an operation 1331 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:40,720 that said 1332 00:50:45,990 --> 00:50:43,520 the clintons do also seem to have their 1333 00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:46,000 hands in some weird you know some of 1334 00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:46,720 that 1335 00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:50,079 marina abramovic stuff is like really 1336 00:50:55,270 --> 00:50:52,480 it's it's art but it's also they're just 1337 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:55,280 doing magic like whether or not you 1338 00:50:59,109 --> 00:50:57,440 think that's real or you know 1339 00:51:01,349 --> 00:50:59,119 whatever 1340 00:51:04,710 --> 00:51:01,359 it's really weird and it freaks out the 1341 00:51:06,710 --> 00:51:04,720 electorate and just pointing it out 1342 00:51:10,150 --> 00:51:06,720 is not necessarily 1343 00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:10,160 bad obviously the way that it was framed 1344 00:51:13,589 --> 00:51:12,000 with pizzagate was designed to cause 1345 00:51:15,829 --> 00:51:13,599 maximum damage 1346 00:51:16,790 --> 00:51:15,839 but that's just how politics is right so 1347 00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:16,800 it's like 1348 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:18,880 it was an operation there was some truth 1349 00:51:23,670 --> 00:51:21,440 here there was some truth there 1350 00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:23,680 you know but it's also just designed to 1351 00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:25,200 take her down 1352 00:51:31,190 --> 00:51:27,440 really interesting stuff 1353 00:51:33,750 --> 00:51:31,200 we're kind of getting somewhere i think 1354 00:51:36,150 --> 00:51:33,760 and i think it's really easy for people 1355 00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:36,160 at this point to see the connections 1356 00:51:41,670 --> 00:51:39,040 that i make with that and the work 1357 00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:41,680 you've done on program to chill because 1358 00:51:46,069 --> 00:51:43,200 program to chill 1359 00:51:47,990 --> 00:51:46,079 forces us to think of everything from uh 1360 00:51:49,430 --> 00:51:48,000 parapolitical which is code speak for 1361 00:51:51,190 --> 00:51:49,440 conspiracy theory because people freak 1362 00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:51,200 out when you say conspiracy theory from 1363 00:51:54,309 --> 00:51:53,440 a parapolitical standpoint is like 1364 00:51:57,670 --> 00:51:54,319 huh 1365 00:52:00,150 --> 00:51:57,680 who was behind that operation and why 1366 00:52:02,150 --> 00:52:00,160 was that operation run and then why was 1367 00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:02,160 history rewritten 1368 00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:04,960 as right-wing conspiracy theory guy goes 1369 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:07,119 in and shoots

head and then they 1420 00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:04,000 stormed the capitol 1421 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:07,760 and then the guy went in and shot up the 1422 00:54:11,589 --> 00:54:09,520 pizza

00:54:25,430 --> 00:54:23,359 just like one i think that there was a 1429 00:54:28,150 --> 00:54:25,440 whole host of people like 1430 00:54:30,870 --> 00:54:28,160 it's been documented that there were 1431 00:54:33,910 --> 00:54:30,880 people from fort bragg's army 1432 00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:33,920 psychological operations units 1433 00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:37,119 present at january 6. there was a weird 1434 00:54:41,109 --> 00:54:40,000 lack of capital police they seem to 1435 00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:41,119 receive 1436 00:54:47,109 --> 00:54:43,359 atypical instructions on how to handle 1437 00:54:49,109 --> 00:54:47,119 it they seem to sort of you know there's 1438 00:54:51,270 --> 00:54:49,119 a thing like there are other groups in 1439 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:51,280 the mix and i know that steven snyder 1440 00:54:55,910 --> 00:54:53,440 you know recluse has done a 1441 00:54:58,789 --> 00:54:55,920 he's he had at least one show that 1442 00:55:01,510 --> 00:54:58,799 arguably almost laid it all out as far 1443 00:55:02,870 --> 00:55:01,520 as can be known currently but it's just 1444 00:55:05,030 --> 00:55:02,880 like 1445 00:55:08,230 --> 00:55:05,040 yeah they were definitely provoking them 1446 00:55:11,030 --> 00:55:08,240 to into doing that and then i think a 1447 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:11,040 lot of the people who got arrested 1448 00:55:16,470 --> 00:55:13,040 some but not all 1449 00:55:18,870 --> 00:55:16,480 were i i wouldn't say innocent but like 1450 00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:18,880 i'm not in because i'm not in a position 1451 00:55:23,510 --> 00:55:21,760 as a judge in the first place but like 1452 00:55:25,990 --> 00:55:23,520 a lot of times the people who actually 1453 00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:26,000 get charges for things like this are not 1454 00:55:31,829 --> 00:55:28,160 the people who 1455 00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:31,839 instigated or caused it i'll say that 1456 00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:35,920 so let's connect it back how are we to 1457 00:55:39,829 --> 00:55:38,400 understand this history when it's being 1458 00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:39,839 rewritten 1459 00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:42,079 right in front of our eyes 1460 00:55:47,589 --> 00:55:44,400 i run across people all the time who are 1461 00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:47,599 trump supporters and i'm like 1462 00:55:52,309 --> 00:55:49,520 clearly at this point it's an op right i 1463 00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:52,319 mean trump is a brand he's not a 1464 00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:54,400 he he's a brand in the same way i mean 1465 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:57,440 biden is clearly not no one thinks biden 1466 00:56:01,109 --> 00:55:58,559 is 1467 00:56:02,950 --> 00:56:01,119 a leader or a political figure there's 1468 00:56:05,349 --> 00:56:02,960 something going on here that we're 1469 00:56:06,150 --> 00:56:05,359 completely not aware of we're hidden 1470 00:56:07,109 --> 00:56:06,160 from 1471 00:56:10,549 --> 00:56:07,119 but 1472 00:56:12,630 --> 00:56:10,559 whatever we're we're we even take a step 1473 00:56:14,230 --> 00:56:12,640 into it we're forced into this other 1474 00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:14,240 paradigm whether it's the left right 1475 00:56:18,390 --> 00:56:16,559 paradigm or whether it's the 1476 00:56:19,829 --> 00:56:18,400 whatever and maybe this speaks back to 1477 00:56:21,510 --> 00:56:19,839 one of your points earlier as we're at a 1478 00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:21,520 time in history when there's more 1479 00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:23,280 professional liars than 1480 00:56:26,789 --> 00:56:25,200 at any other point in history but i 1481 00:56:28,630 --> 00:56:26,799 don't know how you 1482 00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:28,640 how you make your way through the hall 1483 00:56:32,950 --> 00:56:31,040 of mirrors yeah i mean 1484 00:56:36,309 --> 00:56:32,960 all you can really do is just toe the 1485 00:56:39,990 --> 00:56:36,319 line and insist on consent a certain 1486 00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:40,000 amount of consensus reality like 1487 00:56:42,549 --> 00:56:41,200 like you 1488 00:56:45,670 --> 00:56:42,559 can't 1489 00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:45,680 deny what you're observing like you see 1490 00:56:50,069 --> 00:56:47,680 something and it doesn't match what 1491 00:56:52,390 --> 00:56:50,079 people are saying you just have to like 1492 00:56:55,270 --> 00:56:52,400 stick to your guns like like that's all 1493 00:56:57,030 --> 00:56:55,280 you can do that's not to say only trust 1494 00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:57,040 yourself yeah you should listen to other 1495 00:57:01,430 --> 00:56:59,359 people but like 1496 00:57:03,510 --> 00:57:01,440 if things don't add up to you they 1497 00:57:07,349 --> 00:57:03,520 probably don't add up like unless you're 1498 00:57:09,589 --> 00:57:07,359 really bad at math right like 1499 00:57:11,589 --> 00:57:09,599 most people i think have an intuitive 1500 00:57:12,870 --> 00:57:11,599 understanding that things are off and 1501 00:57:14,309 --> 00:57:12,880 that 1502 00:57:15,190 --> 00:57:14,319 a lot like 1503 00:57:18,470 --> 00:57:15,200 the 1504 00:57:20,309 --> 00:57:18,480 but like 1505 00:57:22,549 --> 00:57:20,319 rightfully they should be 1506 00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:22,559 criticized for a lot of the things that 1507 00:57:27,990 --> 00:57:24,559 they have lied about 1508 00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:28,000 in the recent past and and going back 1509 00:57:32,230 --> 00:57:29,520 further as well 1510 00:57:33,910 --> 00:57:32,240 right where do you stand on the whole 1511 00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:33,920 you got to take the jab you got to wear 1512 00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:35,440 a mask 1513 00:57:40,230 --> 00:57:36,960 kind of thing 1514 00:57:42,710 --> 00:57:40,240 you know i was pretty compliant i got 1515 00:57:44,309 --> 00:57:42,720 the vaccine and 1516 00:57:57,270 --> 00:57:44,319 i 1517 00:57:59,109 --> 00:57:57,280 most 1518 00:58:00,870 --> 00:57:59,119 skeptical of the 1519 00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:00,880 like biomedical 1520 00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:02,880 like them trying to bring in all these 1521 00:58:06,950 --> 00:58:05,280 policies all that 1522 00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:06,960 yeah but like i 1523 00:58:10,950 --> 00:58:08,480 i know enough about 1524 00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:10,960 bio weapons research to get myself in 1525 00:58:14,710 --> 00:58:12,880 trouble which is to say that like they 1526 00:58:15,990 --> 00:58:14,720 were specifically testing that over 1527 00:58:21,190 --> 00:58:16,000 there 1528 00:58:23,670 --> 00:58:21,200 were studying this exact thing and then 1529 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:23,680 it got out so like 1530 00:58:28,470 --> 00:58:25,839 i'm very skeptical of like the policies 1531 00:58:29,910 --> 00:58:28,480 they're rolling out i'm not necessarily 1532 00:58:33,349 --> 00:58:29,920 doubting 1533 00:58:34,950 --> 00:58:33,359 the existence of the virus or 1534 00:58:37,910 --> 00:58:34,960 the uh 1535 00:58:39,270 --> 00:58:37,920 you know vaccines and then i just have 1536 00:58:42,069 --> 00:58:39,280 right now it's as to what they're 1537 00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:42,079 instrumentalizing it for oh exactly i 1538 00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:43,200 mean i 1539 00:58:46,630 --> 00:58:44,720 that's another thing it's like the flat 1540 00:58:48,309 --> 00:58:46,640 earth thing which you identified as a 1541 00:58:51,030 --> 00:58:48,319 sciop i think flat earth is a complete 1542 00:58:53,430 --> 00:58:51,040 sciop it's a way to take the 1543 00:58:55,589 --> 00:58:53,440 the truther community and divide them 1544 00:58:57,270 --> 00:58:55,599 and then oh we can just any of these 1545 00:58:58,789 --> 00:58:57,280 people who got on this side we can just 1546 00:59:01,030 --> 00:58:58,799 write them off oh they're flat earth 1547 00:59:02,549 --> 00:59:01,040 people i think the the same is true with 1548 00:59:04,630 --> 00:59:02,559 the virus and it really caught me about 1549 00:59:07,190 --> 00:59:04,640 surprised the first time i i was talking 1550 00:59:09,670 --> 00:59:07,200 to david ike when he's like there is no 1551 00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:09,680 virus you know there is no virus and i 1552 00:59:12,870 --> 00:59:11,119 like i just talked to andy kaufman there 1553 00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:12,880 was no virus i go 1554 00:59:19,990 --> 00:59:14,160 david 1555 00:59:22,549 --> 00:59:20,000 flu that it was a it was an op how are 1556 00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:22,559 you burying your head in the sand this 1557 00:59:26,230 --> 00:59:24,960 time it's clearly an out and the other 1558 00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:26,240 thing is if you really look at the 1559 00:59:29,349 --> 00:59:27,760 science and i might just take this out 1560 00:59:32,390 --> 00:59:29,359 because i think it detracts from the 1561 00:59:34,870 --> 00:59:32,400 other conversation we're having but the 1562 00:59:35,910 --> 00:59:34,880 like you said the wuhan lab the gain of 1563 00:59:37,109 --> 00:59:35,920 function 1564 00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:37,119 the when they 1565 00:59:42,069 --> 00:59:39,280 break down you know we can genetically 1566 00:59:43,990 --> 00:59:42,079 decode the virus and it doesn't add up 1567 00:59:45,270 --> 00:59:44,000 and there's this excellent video i know 1568 00:59:48,150 --> 00:59:45,280 if you've ever seen this but this guy 1569 00:59:51,109 --> 00:59:48,160 does he says there's actually a website 1570 00:59:52,950 --> 00:59:51,119 that lets you look at strings of genetic 1571 00:59:55,829 --> 00:59:52,960 code to see where they're at and this is 1572 00:59:57,510 --> 00:59:55,839 used kind of from a legal standpoint for 1573 01:00:00,390 --> 00:59:57,520 patents you know 1574 01:00:03,829 --> 01:00:00,400 he goes through and he does it step by 1575 01:00:06,150 --> 01:00:03,839 step you know any at the end of the day 1576 01:00:09,030 --> 01:00:06,160 it's modern patents 1577 01:00:10,870 --> 01:00:09,040 very very convincing there's no way this 1578 01:00:12,390 --> 01:00:10,880 is an organic virus there's a bunch of 1579 01:00:14,789 --> 01:00:12,400 people have said that because there's 1580 01:00:17,109 --> 01:00:14,799 clear evidence of gene splicing and then 1581 01:00:19,430 --> 01:00:17,119 for certain sequences in that to be in a 1582 01:00:21,109 --> 01:00:19,440 patent on moderna which isn't which is 1583 01:00:22,710 --> 01:00:21,119 like a fake company to begin with is 1584 01:00:25,109 --> 01:00:22,720 kind of invented doesn't really have 1585 01:00:26,549 --> 01:00:25,119 anything you know you cannot pack that 1586 01:00:29,430 --> 01:00:26,559 back into 1587 01:00:33,030 --> 01:00:29,440 oh it was an accident they tried to keep 1588 01:00:35,829 --> 01:00:33,040 us safe and it just didn't work 1589 01:00:37,910 --> 01:00:35,839 and then you see certain people who 1590 01:00:40,630 --> 01:00:37,920 arguably have gotten things right in the 1591 01:00:43,349 --> 01:00:40,640 past almost intentionally 1592 01:00:45,990 --> 01:00:43,359 take the wrong stance on this it raises 1593 01:00:48,150 --> 01:00:46,000 some questions great great point 1594 01:00:49,589 --> 01:00:48,160 well uh it's been great having you on 1595 01:00:51,270 --> 01:00:49,599 spend a couple hours maybe we'll break 1596 01:00:53,349 --> 01:00:51,280 it into two maybe i'll leave it as one 1597 01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:53,359 but thanks so much for joining me on 1598 01:00:58,470 --> 01:00:56,480 skeptico thank you very much thanks 1599 01:01:01,270 --> 01:00:58,480 again to jimmy falun gong for joining me 1600 01:01:03,109 --> 01:01:01,280 today on skeptico the one question i t 1601 01:01:06,549 --> 01:01:03,119 up from this interview is 1602 01:01:08,150 --> 01:01:06,559 what are your values what values do you 1603 01:01:10,470 --> 01:01:08,160 value most 1604 01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:10,480 and more importantly how do you think 1605 01:01:16,150 --> 01:01:13,760 they might influence your beliefs about 1606 01:01:18,789 --> 01:01:16,160 so many of the topics that we talk about 1607 01:01:21,430 --> 01:01:18,799 here on skeptico how do your values 1608 01:01:24,150 --> 01:01:21,440 influence your beliefs on the ufo topic 1609 01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:24,160 we talked about or on the left right 1610 01:01:29,670 --> 01:01:26,720 paradigm we talked about or on the whole 1611 01:01:32,309 --> 01:01:29,680 topic of conspiracy in conspiracy 1612 01:01:34,150 --> 01:01:32,319 theories that seems to come up a lot on 1613 01:01:35,910 --> 01:01:34,160 skeptico 1614 01:01:38,470 --> 01:01:35,920 let me know your thoughts 1615 01:01:41,829 --> 01:01:38,480 i'd love to hear from you stay with me 1616 01:01:44,260 --> 01:01:41,839 for much more until next time take care 1617 01:01:57,860 --> 01:01:44,270 and bye for now
