1
00:00:04,210 --> 00:00:35,310
[Music]

2
00:00:39,069 --> 00:00:36,389
well thank you I'm not going to try and

3
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:39,079
compete with Dr uh put off in regards to

4
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:42,360
the knowledge of the US followup from

5
00:00:48,029 --> 00:00:44,920
let's just say from when he was born to

6
00:00:51,229 --> 00:00:48,039
now uh but I will say that it's a pretty

7
00:00:53,349 --> 00:00:51,239
tremendous honor for me to be here today

8
00:00:55,069 --> 00:00:53,359
and uh and just try to bring you up a

9
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:55,079
little bit on some of the points that I

10
00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:57,000
think are important as to where Canada's

11
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,559
at in reg regards to uaps and uh I have

12
00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:02,239
four points that I want to talk about

13
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,920
today a little bit in that area but

14
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:06,240
first of all I want to say that I'm

15
00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:09,840
really honored to be here today to uh um

16
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:11,240
have something in common with the first

17
00:01:15,789 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker being the last speaker of the

18
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:15,799
afternoon and that was with Dr lob and

19
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,840
and uh you know there was lots of

20
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:19,360
interesting things he said today but one

21
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,920
that caught my attention is that we both

22
00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:23,119
came from

23
00:01:27,789 --> 00:01:25,880
farms and uh and that's where the

24
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:27,799
similarities

25
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:31,520
ended he is a world famous Professor of

26
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:34,360
astronomy and I became a politician so

27
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:35,840
that tells you who was most successful

28
00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:38,640
and where they ended up

29
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:41,960
um but I also you know listened very

30
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:44,799
closely to Dr Val's comments today as

31
00:01:49,709 --> 00:01:47,240
well and and uh you know it was about

32
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:49,719
how do you get here and uh he was

33
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:51,000
talking

34
00:01:57,029 --> 00:01:55,280
about the uh energy U basically adviser

35
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:57,039
to the president in the United States

36
00:02:01,029 --> 00:02:00,000
and he told the story and I was walking

37
00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:01,039
home last night with a couple of

38
00:02:05,469 --> 00:02:04,079
Manitoba or Canadian colleagues and I

39
00:02:08,109 --> 00:02:05,479
want them to just wave their arms over

40
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:08,119
here Drew ostach is and from my office

41
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:11,160
in Ottawa and uh Dan McClure here as

42
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,959
well if you guys could just give a

43
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:14,400
little wave

44
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,680
there they're they're quite a pair

45
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:18,160
they're very involved in this whole

46
00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:20,360
process as well but you know they picked

47
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:22,280
a green frog off the street last night

48
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:24,640
with a little green light on his head a

49
00:02:29,869 --> 00:02:26,680
little crown and and they handed it to

50
00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:29,879
me and and I uh was paying very close

51
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:31,720
attention to Dr Val's comments when he

52
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,440
said that you know the guy at his age he

53
00:02:38,350 --> 00:02:36,800
handed him the Frog back well I knew I

54
00:02:40,509 --> 00:02:38,360
wanted to be here today CU Gary and

55
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,519
Peter had asked me to be here very very

56
00:02:46,509 --> 00:02:43,280
uh uh you know a while ago to to

57
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:46,519
participate in this yeah I I thought as

58
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:48,040
well like that person and I said you

59
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:49,360
know I've got two children and seven

60
00:02:53,229 --> 00:02:50,879
grandchildren already so I handed them

61
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,239
the Frog

62
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:56,000
back uh and that's not like me I'm

63
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,120
usually the kind of a guy that tries to

64
00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:00,239
bring change into place I'm not the guy

65
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:01,440
that tries to put things back in

66
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:04,080
somebody's pocket uh being a politician

67
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:06,120
I'm not there to pick your pocket either

68
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:09,920
usually I try not to but to make change

69
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,159
and that's what I've been involved in

70
00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:13,680
pretty well all of my life is to uh is

71
00:03:17,789 --> 00:03:15,560
to look at the opportunities for change

72
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,799
that take place so I want to commend

73
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,840
this all Foundation here for the work

74
00:03:22,589 --> 00:03:21,120
that they're doing the papers that

75
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,599
they'll the reports that they will

76
00:03:26,830 --> 00:03:24,560
publish and bring out for the attention

77
00:03:29,429 --> 00:03:26,840
to this subject and partly that's why

78
00:03:31,390 --> 00:03:29,439
I'm here today is to let you know how

79
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:31,400
we're trying to progress in Canada to

80
00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:35,200
make it more public there as well um

81
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,840
there's four areas I want to talk about

82
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:39,120
and then and what one of them is what

83
00:03:44,589 --> 00:03:41,519
are politicians are thinking about this

84
00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:44,599
issue uh what can be done in the

85
00:03:48,830 --> 00:03:46,920
Canadian uh Parliament and are

86
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:48,840
politicians even paying attention to

87
00:03:53,869 --> 00:03:51,599
uaps and what should politicians be

88
00:03:56,190 --> 00:03:53,879
thinking about if they're not

89
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:56,200
already so I think those are some of the

90
00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:59,439
the keys that I wanted to address and so

91
00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:01,680
these conversations and sharing of ideas

92
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:03,200
like we're having at this conference

93
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,200
will help governments wrap their minds

94
00:04:08,830 --> 00:04:07,200
around this and I look forward to the as

95
00:04:11,470 --> 00:04:08,840
I said the policy papers that Saul will

96
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,480
put out for this uh it's encouraging to

97
00:04:16,509 --> 00:04:13,760
see people coming together in forums

98
00:04:19,949 --> 00:04:16,519
like this to even talk about these

99
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:19,959
things to uh uh to pull their talent and

100
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,479
minds and the more people we can get

101
00:04:25,790 --> 00:04:23,520
working together on these topics the

102
00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:25,800
better and being a politician I can

103
00:04:32,270 --> 00:04:28,680
honestly say that politicians are

104
00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:32,280
usually maybe I might set myself aside

105
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,680
from this one a little bit inherently

106
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,080
adverse to

107
00:04:41,230 --> 00:04:38,560
risk uh so when I see a politician in

108
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:41,240
Congress or somebody in the world who is

109
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:43,360
uh at least willing to ask questions

110
00:04:47,390 --> 00:04:45,600
then I think they should be applauded

111
00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:47,400
and I commend all of you as leaders for

112
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:50,120
being here today at this session and I

113
00:04:55,070 --> 00:04:52,160
would encourage you to go home and find

114
00:04:56,990 --> 00:04:55,080
people who even if they're remotely

115
00:04:58,510 --> 00:04:57,000
interested in this topic and they've got

116
00:05:00,749 --> 00:04:58,520
someone in their area or region that's

117
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,759
speaking out to take a couple of minutes

118
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:02,800
and write that person a note and say

119
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:04,560
thank you for speaking out and thank you

120
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,960
for what you're doing to move this whole

121
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:08,800
uh topic

122
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:11,759
forward it is a nonpartisan issue as I

123
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,960
think uh Dr pudova just pointed out uh

124
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,960
and I think it should remain that way

125
00:05:20,909 --> 00:05:18,400
I've tried to do that in the Canadian

126
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:20,919
Parliament as well but everyone does

127
00:05:25,710 --> 00:05:23,520
deserve honest answers and now we got to

128
00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:25,720
figure out the best way that we can find

129
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:27,039
out what they

130
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:30,240
are um so for those who have been

131
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,560
following this issue for years this

132
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,240
might sound a little boring but for

133
00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:36,639
those who work in government it's really

134
00:05:43,469 --> 00:05:39,479
key it's a key topic we ask must ask the

135
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:43,479
simple question of who should take the

136
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,919
lead how do we get this information out

137
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:48,160
there we got to remember that mandates

138
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:49,919
and roles given to those who work in

139
00:05:53,710 --> 00:05:51,880
National Defense and intelligence

140
00:05:55,950 --> 00:05:53,720
agencies are not the best suited

141
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,960
sometimes for what most people want

142
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:57,600
which is

143
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,080
transparency that's not to SL anybody

144
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:02,639
and who's doing a masterful job of of

145
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,960
keeping our nation safe I've always said

146
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:06,160
the first job of parament

147
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:08,080
parliamentarians and politicians is to

148
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:11,440
keep a country safe um but it's that we

149
00:06:15,629 --> 00:06:12,960
should be asking them to do something

150
00:06:18,510 --> 00:06:15,639
outside of their core Mission and I've

151
00:06:20,909 --> 00:06:18,520
made no secret of that I want uh the

152
00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:20,919
efforts in Canada to be led by our best

153
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,319
and brightest scientific Minds which is

154
00:06:28,909 --> 00:06:26,080
why I asked the government of

155
00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:28,919
Canada of of Canada's Chief science

156
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:29,919
advisor

157
00:06:35,309 --> 00:06:32,880
to take on this initiative in Canada and

158
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:35,319
I was encouraged to see them accept my

159
00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:37,240
request and they're currently working on

160
00:06:41,309 --> 00:06:39,800
the sky Canada project which will

161
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:41,319
provide recommendations for various

162
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,280
departments and agencies to adopt

163
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,670
year this report will be public and it's

164
00:06:52,510 --> 00:06:50,720
my hope that that we'll get this issue

165
00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:52,520
in front of the standing committee of

166
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:55,080
science and research and I'll outline

167
00:06:59,550 --> 00:06:57,680
that a little bit more uh shortly but

168
00:07:02,350 --> 00:06:59,560
even in Canada we're swimming Upstream

169
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:02,360
from what I've been told even our own

170
00:07:08,909 --> 00:07:05,759
departments have not been as Cooperative

171
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:08,919
with the sky Canada project team which

172
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,240
disappoints me and now that does not

173
00:07:15,589 --> 00:07:14,160
necessarily mean that they're hiding any

174
00:07:17,309 --> 00:07:15,599
information either but it is an

175
00:07:19,070 --> 00:07:17,319
indication that they are not willing to

176
00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:19,080
engage as much as I'd like to see them

177
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,599
do that breaking down Decades of stigma

178
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:23,440
and ridicule will take time as we've

179
00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:24,800
talked to previous speakers have talked

180
00:07:30,749 --> 00:07:27,680
about today a bit too but we cannot let

181
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:30,759
bureaucracies bury this in red

182
00:07:35,230 --> 00:07:33,280
tape so what can be done in the Canadian

183
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:35,240
Parliament well unlike Congress our

184
00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:36,960
Westminster parliamentary system is not

185
00:07:41,629 --> 00:07:39,160
well placed for members of parliament to

186
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,639
compel the government to do anything

187
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:43,520
outside of cabinet ministers and a very

188
00:07:49,309 --> 00:07:46,840
small handful of influential MPS we

189
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:49,319
don't get access to classified

190
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:52,680
information regardless of the issue any

191
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:54,319
of the information we get is either

192
00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:57,520
through good oldfashioned leg work and

193
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:59,280
trying to verify leads talking to people

194
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:00,879
people who no longer work in government

195
00:08:05,629 --> 00:08:03,080
or when someone leaks

196
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:05,639
something well we've seen this happen

197
00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:06,879
just recently in Canada when a

198
00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:08,840
whistleblower came forward to reveal

199
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:10,599
beijing's interference in our own

200
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:11,759
election

201
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:14,080
processes but in the United States your

202
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:16,080
executive is not part of Congress but

203
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:20,360
Congress does holds hold the pur strings

204
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:23,080
in Canada our executive by convention is

205
00:08:28,149 --> 00:08:25,280
made up of members of parliament from

206
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:28,159
the governing party only and they and

207
00:08:32,589 --> 00:08:31,199
they alone get to write bills and spend

208
00:08:35,790 --> 00:08:32,599
that

209
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,800
money I'm raising this because under the

210
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,440
until the current government decides to

211
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:39,440
act we and the opposition in Canada are

212
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:41,360
left asking questions and hoping they

213
00:08:44,829 --> 00:08:43,039
will take our

214
00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:44,839
recommendations it doesn't mean we're

215
00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:47,240
sitting back and doing it nothing our

216
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:51,080
caucus our caucus the one I'm in has

217
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:54,160
hello there has been clear that we

218
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,760
believe the government should be working

219
00:09:00,670 --> 00:08:57,839
with the American government and our

220
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:00,680
allies to determine the origin and

221
00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:02,800
intent of

222
00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:05,480
UAP and that's what I've solely said

223
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:08,000
from day one in my own work that may

224
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:09,839
sound a bit trivial but we were the

225
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:11,440
first political party in Canadian

226
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:14,240
history to do that much even but because

227
00:09:17,710 --> 00:09:15,680
we are currently in opposition what's

228
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:17,720
the best way to accomplish

229
00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:20,640
that well the first is to get the chief

230
00:09:25,949 --> 00:09:23,160
science advisor report tabled in

231
00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:25,959
Parliament and then a parliamentary

232
00:09:30,069 --> 00:09:28,440
committee to conduct a thorough and

233
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:30,079
proper study

234
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:31,560
now I'm not talking about a one-off

235
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,360
meeting I'm talking about bringing

236
00:09:38,269 --> 00:09:35,920
researchers government officials uh

237
00:09:40,069 --> 00:09:38,279
scientists particularly and doing our

238
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,079
best to compel those who know a lot more

239
00:09:44,670 --> 00:09:42,240
about information of the information

240
00:09:49,470 --> 00:09:44,680
than we do to reveal what they legally

241
00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:51,990
committee I also believe Canada's

242
00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:53,279
auditor

243
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,200
general can play a massive role in doing

244
00:09:59,550 --> 00:09:58,240
a deep dive into the government's

245
00:10:01,790 --> 00:09:59,560
records and determine if proper

246
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:01,800
procedures were used and money is spent

247
00:10:05,389 --> 00:10:03,839
effectively in Canada the auditor

248
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:05,399
general is held in high

249
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:08,800
esteem and they would be the best place

250
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:12,000
to do that sort of work and make no

251
00:10:15,389 --> 00:10:13,760
mistake what is happening in Congress is

252
00:10:17,870 --> 00:10:15,399
being watched by interested members of

253
00:10:21,230 --> 00:10:17,880
parliament and our Canadian Chief

254
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:21,240
science advisor's office any momentum or

255
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:22,800
breakthroughs in getting information

256
00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:26,320
varied and revealed will help not only

257
00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:28,440
our Canadian efforts but it'll provide

258
00:10:33,230 --> 00:10:30,880
the necessary political cover so to

259
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:33,240
speak for other politicians to Kickstart

260
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:36,399
their own conversations in their own

261
00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:38,959
countries the onus is on politicians to

262
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:40,920
have a realistic plan and start laying

263
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:43,600
the groundwork to implement

264
00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:45,760
it so as to whether they're paying

265
00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:47,680
attention to uaps or not today people

266
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:49,240
are not banging down our doors as I

267
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:51,760
heard earlier here from uh from Stephen

268
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:54,959
I believe that uh to demand UAP

269
00:10:59,069 --> 00:10:57,040
transparency and there hasn't been a

270
00:11:01,030 --> 00:10:59,079
compelling enough narrative to get most

271
00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:01,040
politicians to act and demand answers

272
00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:02,399
from their

273
00:11:07,629 --> 00:11:05,240
governments outside of the United States

274
00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:07,639
even with David gr's testimony and the

275
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:10,440
previous statements by arrow and UAP

276
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:13,279
task force there still isn't any

277
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,519
concrete anything concrete for most

278
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,440
politicians to grab on

279
00:11:22,990 --> 00:11:20,160
to and outside of Congress I haven't

280
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:23,000
seen a coherent ask of their

281
00:11:27,230 --> 00:11:25,760
governments well it's good to ask the

282
00:11:29,870 --> 00:11:27,240
honest and

283
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:29,880
transparency uh for transpar and honesty

284
00:11:34,629 --> 00:11:31,800
without a logical and reasonable process

285
00:11:36,590 --> 00:11:34,639
to get there it will fall on deaf ears

286
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:36,600
if we don't have

287
00:11:40,110 --> 00:11:38,800
that let's face it we're dealing with

288
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:40,120
the

289
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,600
conversation and Landscape will look

290
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:45,680
like if there is a formal recognition

291
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:47,760
from a credible government source that

292
00:11:52,829 --> 00:11:50,240
they are in possession of unknown

293
00:11:55,870 --> 00:11:52,839
material or

294
00:11:57,710 --> 00:11:55,880
technology if that moment comes it is

295
00:12:00,509 --> 00:11:57,720
imperative that we start thinking about

296
00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:00,519
what sort of policy response resps that

297
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:02,800
we from government uh that we want from

298
00:12:07,550 --> 00:12:04,720
our governments having those

299
00:12:10,269 --> 00:12:07,560
conversations now will help decrease the

300
00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:10,279
confusion and tension uh in the future

301
00:12:13,629 --> 00:12:11,200
and later

302
00:12:16,590 --> 00:12:13,639
on so what should politicians be

303
00:12:18,110 --> 00:12:16,600
thinking about well in closing I'd say

304
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:18,120
that as of right now there's three or

305
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:20,040
four things that I want to mention the

306
00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:21,680
number one issue is we need to be

307
00:12:27,189 --> 00:12:23,880
thinking about what is what Pro is what

308
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:27,199
is the process that would be best the

309
00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:29,560
best way to declassify information and

310
00:12:34,030 --> 00:12:31,839
reveal it to the public and we've had

311
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:34,040
some discussion about that today and H

312
00:12:38,110 --> 00:12:36,600
pointed that out very clearly we know

313
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,120
the White House has laid out their plan

314
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:40,079
with the Schumer Amendment which is to

315
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,000
assemble a panel of individuals who will

316
00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:44,320
then determine what information should

317
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:46,800
be held back and I believe it was done

318
00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:48,240
to take the pressure off the president

319
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:50,800
and have an arms length

320
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:54,320
process if the legislation passes and

321
00:13:00,189 --> 00:12:56,399
when we find out who the president

322
00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:00,199
nominates to the panel it'll be a good

323
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:02,240
indicator whether the Biden

324
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,360
Administration wants to go down in

325
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:06,800
history as those who brought this

326
00:13:12,990 --> 00:13:09,120
information to

327
00:13:14,829 --> 00:13:13,000
light and any a little bit lighter here

328
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:14,839
anyone who thinks they're putting an

329
00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:16,440
economist and a socialist on a panel to

330
00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:18,959
reveal praic information is kidding

331
00:13:28,829 --> 00:13:26,470
skills secondly I'd say another question

332
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,839
we must be asking ourselves is how do we

333
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:30,959
collaborate with our allies and how do

334
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,440
we ensure our adversaries don't get

335
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:35,519
access to sensitive information a bit of

336
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:36,959
what we've talked about today here as

337
00:13:42,269 --> 00:13:40,079
well this will be a huge challenge if we

338
00:13:44,509 --> 00:13:42,279
as we do not exactly know what

339
00:13:47,069 --> 00:13:44,519
information is currently being kept

340
00:13:49,230 --> 00:13:47,079
secret I do not think anyone is

341
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:49,240
expecting any government to reveal

342
00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:51,519
sources and methods let alone anything

343
00:13:57,150 --> 00:13:54,720
that could potentially help our

344
00:13:58,749 --> 00:13:57,160
adversaries but we also do not exactly

345
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,759
know how information is currently being

346
00:14:01,949 --> 00:14:00,639
being shared among our allies and who is

347
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:01,959
brought up to

348
00:14:06,749 --> 00:14:04,880
speed there will be need to be an

349
00:14:09,310 --> 00:14:06,759
extensive

350
00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:09,320
conversation about how information

351
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:10,800
should be

352
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:15,240
shared and who has access to

353
00:14:20,749 --> 00:14:18,480
what and most of all and what's the best

354
00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:20,759
way to involve civilian scientists

355
00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:23,519
academics and researchers well this is

356
00:14:27,150 --> 00:14:24,360
the

357
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:27,160
key as a policy maker we must figure out

358
00:14:31,310 --> 00:14:29,360
a way to get those from outside of

359
00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:31,320
military and intelligence agencies

360
00:14:37,870 --> 00:14:34,440
involved we must tap their

361
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:37,880
expertise many of you in this room and

362
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:40,320
lastly the last question I want to raise

363
00:14:46,509 --> 00:14:43,519
is which is the most sensitive how do

364
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:46,519
governments admit to their which is most

365
00:14:51,389 --> 00:14:49,800
which is most uh sensitive and that is

366
00:14:54,269 --> 00:14:51,399
how do governments admit to their

367
00:14:56,590 --> 00:14:54,279
citizens that they haven't been told the

368
00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:56,600
truth public trust in our institutions

369
00:15:01,870 --> 00:14:59,360
is already abysmal in times and this

370
00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:01,880
might be the moment to turn that

371
00:15:05,749 --> 00:15:04,600
around so I'll finish by saying it's

372
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:05,759
never too
