00:01:03,150 --> 00:00:59,920
at the first annual Soul found

15
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,160
Foundation conference um hoping that you

16
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:05,920
took a lot away uh from these last two

17
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:08,240
days uh and we're here to discuss a

18
00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:10,280
matter you know of great significance

19
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,240
government

20
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:13,119
transparency regarding you know

21
00:01:20,109 --> 00:01:16,520
unidentified anomalous phenomena or

22
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:20,119
UAP the veil of secrecy surrounding the

23
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:22,200
this subject you know has captured our

24
00:01:27,550 --> 00:01:25,280
Collective curiosity far too long and

25
00:01:30,749 --> 00:01:27,560
it's time for profound

26
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:30,759
change in a world where information is

27
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:33,680
power uh the transparency of our

28
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:35,680
government and its allies you know holds

29
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:38,960
the key to unlocking these truths uh

30
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:43,600
that lie beyond our current public

31
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:46,000
understanding imagine a future where we

32
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:49,000
no longer need to speculate about our

33
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:50,680
place in the

34
00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:53,200
cosmos where the shadows of uncertainty

35
00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:56,759
are dispelled by uh the light of

36
00:02:01,630 --> 00:01:59,200
disclosure the impact of revealing you

37
00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:01,640
you know information on UAP crash

38
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,640
retrievals and Associated activities

39
00:02:08,029 --> 00:02:06,479
would be nothing short of revolutionary

40
00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:08,039
and I assume all of us you know can

41
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:09,679
agree to that

42
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:13,680
point first and foremost embracing

43
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:16,480
transparency on UAP matters is an

44
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:20,040
affirmation to our commitment the truth

45
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:20,920
uh and

46
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,000
openness it's a declaration that we as a

47
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:27,280
society are ready to confront the

48
00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:30,080
unknown and unravel the Mysteries that

49
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:33,519
have perple us perplexed us for

50
00:02:39,390 --> 00:02:36,640
decades this willingness to confront the

51
00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:39,400
Enigma not only builds trust between the

52
00:02:46,990 --> 00:02:42,440
government and its citizens but also

53
00:02:48,670 --> 00:02:47,000
sets a precedent for a new era of

54
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,680
accountability the release of

55
00:02:54,030 --> 00:02:50,959
information on non-human intelligences

56
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:54,040
has the potential to unite Humanity in a

57
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:55,920
shared quest for

58
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:57,920
understanding regardless of the

59
00:03:02,589 --> 00:03:00,720
ontological shock

60
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:02,599
no longer bound by the limitations of

61
00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:03,680
national

62
00:03:09,630 --> 00:03:06,280
borders we would embark on a collective

63
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:09,640
journey of Discovery transcending

64
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:12,159
political distances or differences and

65
00:03:19,630 --> 00:03:15,080
fostering a sense of global

66
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:19,640
Unity the realization that we are not

67
00:03:25,149 --> 00:03:23,200
alone in this vast Universe could serve

68
00:03:26,350 --> 00:03:25,159
as a powerful catalysts for

69
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:26,360
international

70
00:03:33,789 --> 00:03:30,400
cooperation reminding us of our share

71
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:33,799
Destiny as inhabitants and stewards of

72
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:34,799
the

73
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,480
advancements that could stem from broad

74
00:03:47,070 --> 00:03:44,879
study the integration of this kind of

75
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,080
Technology into our scientific knowledge

76
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:49,280
could Propel us to the future with

77
00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:52,200
unprecedented Innovation shaping

78
00:03:57,470 --> 00:03:55,640
Industries improving our quality of love

79
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:57,480
it's not just about knowing it's about

80
00:04:03,550 --> 00:04:00,480
the potential to revolutionize our

81
00:04:07,949 --> 00:04:03,560
understanding of physics biology and

82
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:10,949
Sciences releasing this information in a

83
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:13,680
controlled planned manner such as Carl

84
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,799
Nell has discussed during the conference

85
00:04:22,030 --> 00:04:18,720
as with the Schumer

86
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,040
amendment has profound implications on

87
00:04:26,590 --> 00:04:24,560
our philosoph philosophical and

88
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:26,600
spiritual perspectives the

89
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:28,600
acknowledgement of other worldly

90
00:04:34,909 --> 00:04:32,440
intelligences ches our very concept of

91
00:04:39,629 --> 00:04:34,919
existence encouraging us to reconsider

92
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:39,639
our place in the grand tapestry of the

93
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:42,120
universe it's an important and profound

94
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:44,320
introspection and a catalyst for a new

95
00:04:54,909 --> 00:04:51,070
Awakening you know in

96
00:04:55,950 --> 00:04:54,919
conclusion this uh movement ignited in

97
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:55,960
December

98
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,880
2017 with Leslie and Ralph's you know

99
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:01,039
famous article the New York

100
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:03,960
Times is not merely a matter of

101
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:05,680
government

102
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:08,479
transparency uh it's a paradigm shift

103
00:05:15,070 --> 00:05:11,600
that holds the power to reshape our

104
00:05:18,830 --> 00:05:15,080
world by embracing the unknown we open

105
00:05:20,909 --> 00:05:18,840
ourselves to a future where truth unity

106
00:05:23,309 --> 00:05:20,919
and technological

107
00:05:26,029 --> 00:05:23,319
advancements and a deeper understanding

108
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:26,039
of our existence

109
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:28,479
conversion let us advocate for

110
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:30,840
transparency uh not for

111
00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:33,680
ourselves but for the generations to

112
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:37,639
come as we embark on a journey toward a

113
00:05:55,390 --> 00:05:41,039
more enlightened and interconnected

114
00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:59,900

115
00:06:12,909 --> 00:06:02,000
[Music]

00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:18,440
could comment on how far you think the

118
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:21,440
United States or indeed other countries

119
00:06:26,270 --> 00:06:23,880
have got with the reverse engineering

120
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,280
program and have we got to fly these

121
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,400
machines are they

122
00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:31,120
flyable

123
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:32,639
I'm getting a little bit of double

124
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:34,960
feedback do I need to mute my mic to

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,150
clearly I ask a question again

126
00:06:52,270 --> 00:06:49,990
pleas I need to mute my mic let me know

127
00:06:54,350 --> 00:06:52,280
I was just getting like a

128
00:06:55,230 --> 00:06:54,360
Reverb let me know if you had should I

129
00:06:59,390 --> 00:06:55,240
ask it

130
00:07:00,990 --> 00:06:59,400
again oh that sounds better okay okay um

131
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,000
I was wondering D if you could comment

132
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:03,759
on how far the United States has got or

133
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,160
indeed other countries in the reverse

134
00:07:13,950 --> 00:07:09,360
engineering program and whether we manag

135
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:17,830
viable yeah a lot of that I can't answer

136
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:20,800
publicly that you know a lot of it has

137
00:07:26,189 --> 00:07:23,360
been integrated in another us uh

138
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,199
conventional pass by

139
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:28,319
program

140
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:36,350
thank you David for everything you've

141
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,080
done um I'm curious to know why you did

142
00:07:44,909 --> 00:07:42,240
what you did in coming forward and

143
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:44,919
putting yourself up above the parit and

144
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:47,199
becoming a Target it's incredi be brave

145
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:52,029
inspiring yeah I mean I did a lot of

146
00:07:56,670 --> 00:07:54,360
introspection and reflection to make the

147
00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:56,680
decision to come forward you know part

148
00:08:01,189 --> 00:07:59,360
of my uh looking into this subject and

149
00:08:03,309 --> 00:08:01,199
you know reporting my findings to the

150
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:03,319
Inspector General you know I look back

151
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:05,440
at my you know I Serv 14 years in the

152
00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:07,759
Air Force I looked at two my core value

153
00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:09,960
the Air Force exposes you know Integrity

154
00:08:16,189 --> 00:08:13,000
for service for steal and that been all

155
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:16,199
we do and that may sound you know many

156
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:19,759
but I really believe in that that's when

157
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:24,360
I was College 18 years ago I didn't want

158
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:27,759
toide um living those core values I did

159
00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:32,560
not want to look back 30 years from now

160
00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:35,279
when I'm an older man a life of regret

161
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,240
and I did not want

162
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:39,599
to feel that oh I could have done

163
00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:41,599
something when I was you know still in

164
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:43,240
the government said I should have said

165
00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:44,720
something when this topic became

166
00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:47,640
normalized and the momentum was that

167
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:50,399
Congress you know interested in it and I

168
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:53,000
saw what was happening behind the scenes

169
00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:56,160
you the Preparatory movement uh for CH

170
00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,320
Scher to propose this legislation you

171
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,240
know I was aware of it many months

172
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,560
before it was going to get released I'll

173
00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:05,040
just say that and I realized if I wanted

174
00:09:10,670 --> 00:09:08,120
to make a move that I would be probably

175
00:09:12,829 --> 00:09:10,680
proud of making you know 30 years from

176
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:12,839
now it was probably the right time there

177
00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:14,800
was a combination of external factors

178
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:17,640
that was happening with the subject and

179
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:19,519
you know supportive public populace

180
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,399
which I was paying attention to um you

181
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,839
know when I was still in government and

182
00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:26,240
it kind of just allowed me to self

183
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:28,399
actualize in a way that I you know felt

184
00:09:40,829 --> 00:09:31,440
that it was you know selfless service

185
00:09:46,190 --> 00:09:43,990
you Hi D thanks for uh for joining us

186
00:09:48,269 --> 00:09:46,200

187
00:09:50,430 --> 00:09:48,279
for your active service for coming

188
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:50,440
forward on this issue um this weekend

189
00:09:55,949 --> 00:09:52,640
has really broadened my perspective I

190
00:09:58,030 --> 00:09:55,959
would say um in terms of what I I think

191
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,040
might be going on and and some of that

192
00:10:01,389 --> 00:10:00,000
is you know diversity of you you can

193
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:01,399
think about it from a nuts and bolts

194
00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:04,240
perspective of vehicular types or

195
00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:09,320
behaviors um you know um uh orbs versus

196
00:10:13,150 --> 00:10:11,279
Tic Tacs versus discs but also that

197
00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:13,160
there seems to be some pretty

198
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:16,600
fundamentally sort of diverse um nature

199
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:19,360
of maybe behaviors or interactions so

200
00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,920
can you I I don't know fill this in to

201
00:10:24,990 --> 00:10:23,120
the extent that you can and I know

202
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,000
you're limited in what you can say but

203
00:10:29,949 --> 00:10:28,160
to what extent do you see that in your

204
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:29,959
experience the people you talk to is

205
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,480
that a fundamental aspect of this that

206
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:34,560
there's there's lots of things going on

207
00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:35,760
whether we think of them as different

208
00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:37,800
species or different different types of

209
00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:40,920
nhi can can you comment on that yeah

210
00:10:46,509 --> 00:10:43,800
certainly this phenomenon is is not a

211
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,519
you know a singular type Source Etc I

212
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:48,800
mean many of the people I talked to that

213
00:10:52,910 --> 00:10:50,760
you know were actively working on the

214
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:52,920
program did use the term

215
00:10:58,430 --> 00:10:55,839
extraterrestrial when uh briefing myself

216
00:11:00,910 --> 00:10:58,440
and my my colleagues you know on their

217
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:00,920
activity and kind of you know that's the

218
00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:04,120
par they used within the the program but

219
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,680
certainly I'm skeptical of that being

220
00:11:10,990 --> 00:11:09,040
the the only origin and that's why I'm

221
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:11,000
I'm happy that non-human intelligence

222
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:13,160
has been viewed in the Schumer Amendment

223
00:11:18,670 --> 00:11:16,480
because um I mean how do you determine

224
00:11:21,949 --> 00:11:18,680
origin you know do you believe the

225
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:21,959
origin because uh your world use says

226
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:23,760
anything that doesn't look homo saan

227
00:11:28,509 --> 00:11:27,120
must come from elsewhere so I'm uh you

228
00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:28,519
know I'm familiar with obviously the

229
00:11:33,389 --> 00:11:30,600
work J LA and others have done and I

230
00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:33,399
think certainly many of many scholars

231
00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:36,360
will probably uh you know back me up on

232
00:11:41,629 --> 00:11:38,200
this where I think there's you this

233
00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:41,639
non-coral phenomenon who knows what that

234
00:11:47,310 --> 00:11:45,240
is uh you know just like as jacqu B has

235
00:11:50,030 --> 00:11:47,320
mentioned in past for Magonia right it

236
00:11:52,030 --> 00:11:50,040
could be interdimensional

237
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:52,040
multi-dimensional because the phenomenon

238
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:53,920
shows itself in different forms over the

239
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:56,160
years from Antiquity you know with of

240
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,200
sitting on chest which maybe was the

241
00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:01,680
tour of the modern abduction phenomenon

242
00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:04,920
potentially so uh I don't think the US

243
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,240
government has a handle on all the

244
00:12:12,990 --> 00:12:09,519
different types of you know origin of

245
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,000
this phenomenon that become the by by do

246
00:12:17,629 --> 00:12:15,440
I mean certainly the term you know have

247
00:12:20,350 --> 00:12:17,639
been used behind doors with me but I

248
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,360
just I'm a little skeptical that that is

249
00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:22,240
the total

250
00:12:31,629 --> 00:12:30,110
Gen good evening first off thank you for

251
00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:31,639
your service the United States Air Force

252
00:12:35,470 --> 00:12:33,160
and thank you for everything uh you've

253
00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:35,480
done to get us to this point um my

254
00:12:38,430 --> 00:12:37,120
question is uh in the context of

255
00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:38,440
hopefully the passage of the Schumer

256
00:12:42,910 --> 00:12:41,279
Amendment uh have and a a more open

257
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:42,920
conversation in government and public

258
00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:45,519
policy about UAP technology have you or

259
00:12:50,350 --> 00:12:47,920
the uh Foundation given any thought to

260
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:50,360
uh endorsing or advocating for uh like a

261
00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,040
UAP weapons test band treaty or

262
00:12:58,030 --> 00:12:55,680
weaponization uh Ban Treaty to prevent

263
00:13:00,030 --> 00:12:58,040
uh the use of you know uh effectively

264
00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:00,040
Next Generation Ms in the military

265
00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:01,600
station of the

266
00:13:07,389 --> 00:13:04,000
technology no that's actually a very

267
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:07,399
interesting idea that I think is worth

268
00:13:12,430 --> 00:13:09,800
exploring I mean

269
00:13:13,949 --> 00:13:12,440
certainly uh I mean in terms of space

270
00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:13,959
policy you know there's like outer space

271
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:16,839
security 7 and some of the other asso 3s

272
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:20,120
and 7s up to talk about how we um you

273
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:23,120
know claim selector bodies for our own

274
00:13:26,829 --> 00:13:24,720
which actually 3 says you're not

275
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:26,839
supposed to like you're not us is not

276
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,360
supposed to caim you the Moon itself as

277
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:31,920
a sere territory and it's a maritime law

278
00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:34,000
law SE that kind of applies to the space

279
00:13:39,629 --> 00:13:37,600
so I mean besid that and some of the

280
00:13:42,829 --> 00:13:39,639
conventional analoges in term of test

281
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:42,839
band 3DS start you know you know a one

282
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,880
and two that kind of thing that's

283
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:46,560
actually a very interesting idea to

284
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:48,880
explore and I'll actually take note of

285
00:13:58,749 --> 00:13:57,310
actually thank you for being here today

286
00:14:01,069 --> 00:13:58,759
I'm so sorry that you've been threat

287
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:01,079
threatened for standing up in this topic

288
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:02,920
and I was wondering what should we be

289
00:14:08,509 --> 00:14:04,920
doing as UFO researchers to protect

290
00:14:13,949 --> 00:14:12,069
families uh we certainly following along

291
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:13,959
so that's why you know I'm

292
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:16,720
very careful what I say you know

293
00:14:21,749 --> 00:14:19,040
anything specific I want to say I do run

294
00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:21,759
it for publication Security review

295
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:23,240
anybody who's had a top speaker

296
00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:25,480
clearance has been officer has to go

297
00:14:31,310 --> 00:14:29,199
through the same same brought up and uh

298
00:14:33,749 --> 00:14:31,320
you know I've always advocated for with

299
00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:33,759
theing in a legal manner uh you know

300
00:14:38,350 --> 00:14:36,079
somebody's in the audience or has

301
00:14:40,829 --> 00:14:38,360
knowledge about these

302
00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:40,839
programs uh established procedures

303
00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:43,920
through you know the Inspector General

304
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:46,079
through the Aro office as well at

305
00:14:50,749 --> 00:14:47,440
relates to

306
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:50,759
UAP um yeah in terms of ethic protection

307
00:14:54,430 --> 00:14:52,000
for private

308
00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:54,440
citizens I mean

309
00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,720
besid uh you know understanding how to

310
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:00,560
properly conduct research in a legal and

311
00:15:07,389 --> 00:15:01,920
ethical manner I guess that's only thing

312
00:15:13,949 --> 00:15:11,030
yeah hi uh my question's pretty brief uh

313
00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:13,959
it's two two parts um why do you think

314
00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:15,720
this is happening now and what do you

315
00:15:20,590 --> 00:15:18,680
think are the best next steps for the

316
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:20,600
community to

317
00:15:25,069 --> 00:15:23,199
do yeah I mean why it's happening now I

318
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:25,079
think it's just the culmination of of

319
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:27,120
the energy that you know people who kind

320
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:30,040
of fell in my fo steps you know you know

321
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:31,120
call

322
00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:33,920
it that kind of thing and the energy

323
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:37,560
that was created in 2017 and some of the

324
00:15:41,629 --> 00:15:39,199
effective Congressional

325
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:41,639
engagements to you know show how this is

326
00:15:47,710 --> 00:15:44,800
a potential National Security thre Vis

327
00:15:52,350 --> 00:15:47,720
just to call or the public and there's

328
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,360
been a a good uh public engagements with

329
00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:54,560
the different kind of different Medias

330
00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:57,199
whether YouTube History Channel whatnot

331
00:16:04,309 --> 00:16:01,120
I think that's uh created that kind of

332
00:16:06,829 --> 00:16:04,319
interest in desig mization and next

333
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,839
steps I mean certainly we don't want to

334
00:16:10,309 --> 00:16:08,639
rely on the government for everything

335
00:16:11,790 --> 00:16:10,319
but the humaner amendment and also some

336
00:16:14,990 --> 00:16:11,800
of the provisions in the Intel

337
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:15,000
authorization act that allows uh the

338
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,360
Intel committee defense off fund for

339
00:16:21,710 --> 00:16:19,120
special access programs that are not

340
00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:21,720
being reported to Congress is a step in

341
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:23,600
the right direction but this is quite

342
00:16:27,710 --> 00:16:25,440
frankly why we have the full

343
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,720
foundation and you know certainly other

344
00:16:34,430 --> 00:16:30,079
5501 like Ryan

345
00:16:38,509 --> 00:16:34,440
Graves um Foundation as well is we need

346
00:16:40,990 --> 00:16:38,519
to basically create a parallel track of

347
00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:41,000
research and you know independent

348
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,639
discovery that aren't necessarily

349
00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:44,800
dependent on the US government provide

350
00:16:48,829 --> 00:16:47,199
us all the answers because ultimately

351
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,839
it's up to the chief executive to

352
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,720
disclose regardless to what the

353
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:53,279
disclosure panel may come up with in

354
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,440
terms of a controll disclosure plan we

355
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:57,440
should put all our eggs in that basket

356
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,759
so um creating think tanks foundations

357
00:17:06,829 --> 00:17:03,600
maybe some you know for-profit Venture

358
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:06,839
cap type organizations that look at

359
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,760
Material or things like the Galo project

360
00:17:15,789 --> 00:17:11,760
to do external collection external

361
00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,799
censing to uh fingerprint the phenomenon

362
00:17:23,230 --> 00:17:17,600
as many different ways as possible

363
00:17:25,549 --> 00:17:23,240
optically radar Etc uh and and broadly

364
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:25,559
and openly discuss it through

365
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:27,839
conferences like this and PW publication

366
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:29,919
I think is right way there a parallel

367
00:17:35,470 --> 00:17:33,039
track there not to put all the eggs in

368
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:35,480
one basket you know with the government

369
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,990
answers hey David it's so such an honor

370
00:17:47,549 --> 00:17:45,200
to be here with everybody here today and

371
00:17:50,830 --> 00:17:47,559
to speak with you uh this is a historic

372
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:50,840
meeting I'm just so stoked but uh I have

373
00:17:55,630 --> 00:17:52,760
a question for you so five years from

374
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:55,640
now just picture yourself daily life the

375
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:56,960
Legacy that you've already built in the

376
00:18:02,029 --> 00:17:59,760
last year and and what you ideally would

377
00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:02,039
like to see in your own life just moving

378
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:05,320
ahead five years like a whole world but

379
00:18:09,549 --> 00:18:07,200
personal to you as well I'm just curious

380
00:18:12,510 --> 00:18:09,559
where you'd like to see

381
00:18:14,350 --> 00:18:12,520
yourself yeah uh certainly I would love

382
00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:14,360
to go back to my private life that would

383
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:16,840
be great not something that I ever

384
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:18,520
thought I'd be doing in my life you know

385
00:18:24,029 --> 00:18:20,720
I was on a very good trajectory in my

386
00:18:26,830 --> 00:18:24,039
intell career so I've made an Abrupt dip

387
00:18:28,590 --> 00:18:26,840
to the right become a public figure

388
00:18:30,149 --> 00:18:28,600
which you know I take that bir serious

389
00:18:32,990 --> 00:18:30,159
and I want to you know effectively

390
00:18:35,950 --> 00:18:33,000
communicate but

391
00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,960
personally I would love you know so the

392
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:37,520
panel obviously it's going to go to at

393
00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:38,720
least

394
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:42,760
2030 I would love to work on that as a

395
00:18:46,430 --> 00:18:44,600
staff member not necessarily as a

396
00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:46,440
panelist I think there needs to be

397
00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:48,360
luminaries that are the the best

398
00:18:53,710 --> 00:18:50,840
scholars in the in the US to to f you

399
00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:53,720
know be on that panel but certainly if

400
00:18:58,630 --> 00:18:56,120
the current or you know succeeding

401
00:19:00,430 --> 00:18:58,640
administrations would like to bring me

402
00:19:02,149 --> 00:19:00,440
on to support the panel in any way I

403
00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:02,159
mean I'll go get coffee just to sit in

404
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:04,120
the room to listen to the discussions

405
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:06,280
you know out of you know professional

406
00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:08,640
intellectual curiosity so I would like

407
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:11,200
to serve once more um go back to

408
00:19:16,270 --> 00:19:13,360
governments what that looks like you

409
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:16,280
know I'm open to suggestions but

410
00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:18,720
certainly if there's any way I can

411
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:21,200
support the panel even if it's you know

412
00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:23,640
through St foundation and maybe not

413
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:25,280
going back to government service I think

414
00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:27,840
it's just so important to help inform

415
00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:29,919
and guide those members whoever gets put

416
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:32,000
on that panel you know you know and

417
00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:33,440
cross our fingers that the amendment

418
00:19:38,190 --> 00:19:36,000
gets passed within the National Pro

419
00:19:39,950 --> 00:19:38,200
authorization act here in a month but I

420
00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:39,960
would just love to serve that way that'd

421
00:19:47,789 --> 00:19:41,919
be

422
00:19:50,029 --> 00:19:47,799
the conference than the things that Dave

423
00:19:54,029 --> 00:19:50,039
has already said so I won't philosophize

424
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:54,039
any further than that so really on

425
00:19:58,990 --> 00:19:55,720
behalf of Peter do you want to say

426
00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:59,000

427
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:02,000
