29 00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:59,680 one experience at a time available now 30 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,399 on amazon 31 00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:02,800 in both paperback and ebook to learn 32 00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:17,830 [Music] 33 00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:27,200 spread 34 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:43,840 [Music] 35 00:01:47,069 --> 00:01:45,759 somewhere in the skies premiered on 36 00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:47,079 april 17 37 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:50,240 2017 with our very first guest being 38 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:51,200 historian 39 00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,479 author and ufo researcher richard dolan 40 00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,399 the episode covered a very interesting 41 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,280 aspect to the entire ufo topic 42 00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:01,439 but in particular it focused on the 43 00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:02,560 manipulation 44 00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,439 and influence by the mainstream media 45 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:07,360 when it comes to ufos 46 00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,560 but it goes much much deeper than just 47 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,879 ridiculing the topic or having a little 48 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:14,080 laugh 49 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:16,080 here's richard dolan during our very 50 00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:17,200 first interview 51 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,560 a couple of things that you notice about 52 00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:20,720 mainstream media it's interesting 53 00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:21,680 because we went through the whole 54 00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:22,720 election of 20 55 00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:26,080 in 2016 and now in 2017 and media itself 56 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:28,720 is a story we hear everyone talking 57 00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,120 about 58 00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,760 so-called fake news and and you know 59 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:33,200 there's lots of ways to look at 60 00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,040 this fake news phenomenon my perspective 61 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,280 on it is that the corporate mainstream 62 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:41,920 media itself is the primary conveyor 63 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,280 and purveyor of fake news and i say this 64 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,959 not siding with any one particular 65 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:48,800 political party here 66 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:51,680 but i have been looking at cnn and msnbc 67 00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:52,480 and fox 68 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,319 and uh pbs and really all of these large 69 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,640 corporate dominated uh intelligence 70 00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,400 community dominated 71 00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:02,879 sources of news as purveyors of fake 72 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:04,159 news 73 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:07,200 one of the things that um was important 74 00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:08,159 for me is just 75 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,000 to mention to people that not only is a 76 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,080 mainstream media not your friend or my 77 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,760 my friend i mean it lies it spins its 78 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:15,040 sensors 79 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,280 it's owned by just a few very sm 80 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,440 powerful corporations it is merged 81 00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,360 with the popular culture entertainment 82 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,959 industry it cooperates with the 83 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:24,640 intelligence community all of this is 84 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,280 known 85 00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:27,120 people often don't recognize this they 86 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:28,000 don't pay attention they don't know 87 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,959 their history 88 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:31,120 but the mainstream media has cooperated 89 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:32,480 with us intelligence 90 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,280 for decades and generations still does 91 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:37,280 but it also makes us sick and i mean 92 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:38,560 physically it makes us sick 93 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,640 and intellectually emotionally it makes 94 00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,920 us sick again 95 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:44,239 that interview was from almost four 96 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:45,200 years ago 97 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:47,920 when dolan brought this to our attention 98 00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:49,760 and i mean it was no huge secret 99 00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:52,959 but it seemed a whole new era 100 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,280 in our budding social media age when 101 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:57,280 both the 24-hour news cycle 102 00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:00,000 and the clashing idealism of politics 103 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:00,720 beliefs 104 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:04,239 and truth we're beginning to consume us 105 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,360 every single second of every single day 106 00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,080 and as these early warnings by dolan and 107 00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:12,159 many others throughout the decades 108 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:15,280 have become more and more real we find 109 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:17,600 ourselves in a whole new world 110 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:20,560 of uncertainty but we have to ask 111 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:21,359 ourselves 112 00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,720 how new is it today 113 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,800 we talked to former host and news 114 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:28,320 reporter clayton 115 00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:31,199 morris morris not only observed these 116 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:33,199 notions being brought forward by 117 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,160 dolan but he was a part of the machine 118 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:38,080 that controlled it 119 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:41,120 having worked for fox news he saw 120 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:44,400 everything and now looking back 121 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:47,600 he's able to understand and reflect on 122 00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:48,560 how deep 123 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:51,759 and how high it actually goes 124 00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:53,680 i really try to shine a light on the 125 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,199 fact that you're being lied to 126 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:58,160 by the mainstream media every day you're 127 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:58,560 being 128 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:00,960 spoon-fed by the mainstream media every 129 00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:03,280 day you know people forget that it's a 130 00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,840 for-profit organization so you're 131 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:08,000 watching msnbc you're watching cnn 132 00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:09,360 you're watching fox you're watching any 133 00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:11,199 of these channels and they're all 134 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,560 for-profit massive companies that have 135 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,320 an agenda they have a narrative they 136 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:18,240 have a story and they know their 137 00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:19,919 audience and they're not going to tell 138 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,639 you 139 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:23,120 the more difficult pieces of that story 140 00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:24,960 it's hard for people to swallow because 141 00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:26,800 we're also spoon fed these things 142 00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:28,560 and you might be a fan of rachel maddow 143 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,919 you might be a fan of uh 144 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:31,520 tucker carlson you might be a fan of 145 00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:32,960 hannity you might be a fan of 146 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:35,680 joy read whatever it is to me all i'm 147 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:36,320 saying is 148 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:38,960 i want people to really start thinking 149 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:40,880 outside of these sources 150 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,240 because there's a whole world out there 151 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:46,880 of people in the united states there's a 152 00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:47,440 hundred 153 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:50,400 million people that don't vote 100 154 00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,600 million 155 00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:53,199 and the reason that you see wall street 156 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:55,039 doing just fine is because if 157 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,840 biden wins they'll be fine if trump wins 158 00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,120 they'll be fine 159 00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:01,120 because they're all part of this same 160 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:02,720 machine 161 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,520 and stretching far beyond politics we 162 00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:07,440 also hear about how

445 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:26,880 it was me bringing them a story whether 446 00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:28,399 it was 447 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:31,680 something from leslie kane um or her new 448 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:32,160 book 449 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:36,160 or this story with you know 450 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:39,360 then candidate obama 451 00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:42,160 the pilot uh whoever became the air 452 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,440 force one pilot who 453 00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:46,160 you know admitted in my interview with 454 00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:47,920 him that uh 455 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,360 you know this is very common and they 456 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:50,959 witness the ufo off the 457 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,800 you know off the front of the right side 458 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:55,279 of the uh of air force one 459 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:56,800 and that other pilots were not allowed 460 00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:58,800 to talk about this it was was frowned 461 00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:59,279 upon 462 00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:00,800 and he was hoping that by shedding a 463 00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:02,320 light doing that interview that it would 464 00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:03,040 cast uh 465 00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:05,279 it would open that up so those stories 466 00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:06,800 yeah it was really me sort of bringing 467 00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:07,120 them 468 00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:09,199 and it was always you know i mean i have 469 00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:11,519 to give my producers a lot of uh 470 00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:13,920 a lot of uh credit you know gavin and 471 00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:14,639 jennifer 472 00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,759 the people 473 00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:20,160 my production team because i would pitch 474 00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:22,000 this story in a meeting and i had to 475 00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:24,079 bring the energy for it like it was me 476 00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:26,079 selling it to them in a pitch meeting 477 00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:27,440 like listen 478 00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:29,440 leslie kane has just written a book 479 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:31,279 where she goes on the record 480 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:34,000 with government officials former members 481 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:34,880 of the military 482 00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:37,759 high high-ranking generals and this 483 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:39,440 story is explosive 484 00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:41,519 and we need to do it we need to cover 485 00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:42,480 this story 486 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:44,480 and it often helped if there was some 487 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,560 other media that this person had done 488 00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:48,320 before so there wasn't something out of 489 00:16:51,269 --> 00:16:49,120 the blue 490 00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:51,279 i'd have to push three or four times in 491 00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:52,399 order to get the story 492 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:53,680 like hey what about that leslie kane 493 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:55,120 story what about that leslie you know i 494 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:56,639 had to push a couple of times to get it 495 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,440 on the air 496 00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:59,360 and then some other random sighting or 497 00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:01,199 events or pilots or whatever it happens 498 00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:03,360 to be i'd have to push a little bit 499 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:05,760 but in the end they usually caved and 500 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:06,640 honestly 501 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:09,039 all it comes down to in mainstream media 502 00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:10,240 is dollars 503 00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:13,360 it all comes down to eyeballs ratings 504 00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:14,559 and dollars 505 00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:17,039 and so i learned early on that if the 506 00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:17,839 segment i 507 00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,120 pitched would garner high ratings 508 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:24,240 then i would get more of them so 509 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:26,959 i really tried to study the we would get 510 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:27,520 the 511 00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:29,440 i don't know if you know this term but 512 00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:31,039 for the layperson who's not familiar 513 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:32,720 with broadcast terminology you'd get 514 00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:34,240 your minutes 515 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:36,000 and what that means is you would 516 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,840 literally you could get four hours of 517 00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:38,880 minutes 518 00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:42,160 so you could see that at 8 53 am 519 00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:45,440 when you did that ufo segment then 520 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:47,280 the minutes like the numbers went off 521 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:48,720 the charts 522 00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:51,039 so you could track minute by minute and 523 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,640 that's what executives do 524 00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:54,080 you could see the nielsen ratings you 525 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,919 could see the minute by minute response 526 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:58,080 of viewers and eyeballs tuning into your 527 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,200 show 528 00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:01,919 and so i used to study those the key 529 00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:03,760 part was to not look at them at the 530 00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:05,919 moment that the segment was on 531 00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:08,080 but the the amount of eyeballs that came 532 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,320 about five or six minutes later 533 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:12,320 because it was a flow you know maybe 534 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:14,080 someone was telling someone to tune in 535 00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:14,400 or 536 00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:19,520 that might unfold 537 00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:22,000 so and then also a tease what i learned 538 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:24,240 is if you didn't tease a story 539 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:25,840 and again to the lay person not 540 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:28,320 television savvy if you're ever watching 541 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:31,039 jake tapper or fox and friends or any 542 00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:32,160 show and they're saying 543 00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,160 hey coming up after the break we're 544 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:36,160 going to be sitting down with uh 545 00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:39,679 uh you know this this individual who 546 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,960 witnessed a ufo 547 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:42,720 what he thought was a ufo crashing in 548 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:44,320 kecksburg pennsylvania 549 00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:47,360 in 1965 and what he will tell you about 550 00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:48,320 this ufo 551 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,440 is mind-blowing we now have the evidence 552 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:53,520 right after the break if you do not 553 00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:54,960 tease a story 554 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:57,200 people don't know what's coming up and 555 00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:59,280 so i got in the habit of really making 556 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:00,720 sure that we had time 557 00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,640 in the segment beforehand to make sure 558 00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:04,720 that we didn't have to kill a tease 559 00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:06,960 because i knew if i could tease that ufo 560 00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:09,200 story i could sell it and i would say 561 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:11,120 coming up after the break and they would 562 00:19:13,590 --> 00:19:12,480 give me the read because they knew i 563 00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:13,600 could sell it 564 00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:16,080 one of the most remarkable ufo sightings 565 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:18,559 over chicago chicago's o'hare airport 566 00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:20,880 right entire you know an entire part of 567 00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:23,360 the airport shut down because of a ufo 568 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:26,000 hanging over the tarmac we're gonna show 569 00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:27,679 you the photos and the evidence when we 570 00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:28,640 come back 571 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:31,280 and you could see a spike in ratings so 572 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:33,520 i knew that if i could get the eyeballs 573 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:36,320 i could then also get my producers to to 574 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,600 do the story 575 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:40,400 so it's a you have to have both i mean 576 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:41,440 to be successful 577 00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:43,520 you know right it's a game yeah it 578 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,480 really is right 579 00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:46,320 and uh you know we were lucky that you 580 00:19:49,909 --> 00:19:47,919 were really good at playing that game 581 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:49,919 because we got a lot of those 582 00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:52,480 out of there um i have to ask you know 583 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:54,000 in terms of when you 584 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:55,600 you know you pitched it and they said 585 00:19:59,750 --> 00:19:57,520 yes we'll do it and uh 586 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,760 you're you're there it's happening where 587 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:01,840 you're being broadcast um 588 00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:04,559 did they ever make you downplay the 589 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,799 topic or give it a certain angle 590 00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,960 you know throughout the years ever since 591 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,640 project blue book we've learned that 592 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:12,400 within the mainstream media 593 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,480 even the pentagon or the cia were 594 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:16,559 telling the media to 595 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:18,799 ridicule the people who report these 596 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:20,000 things or don't take 597 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:22,320 it too seriously um did you ever 598

much i think we've made some 685 00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:10,480 progress 686 00:23:13,510 --> 00:23:12,400 is that the kroger story would be the 687 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:13,520 first story 688 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:15,840 to lead the broadcast and they wouldn't 689 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:17,280 even mention 690 00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:20,400 the ufo story until like right before 691 00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:22,640 their toss to the weather guy 692 00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:24,000 and it would go something like this and 693 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:25,760 it was super frustrating 694 00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:27,360 or they would save it for the very end 695 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:28,720 of the show before they're saying good 696 00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:29,280 night 697 00:23:33,270

756 00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:18,480 as well if someone like you were 757 00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:20,400 interviewing me like you bet your ass 758 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:22,240 we're both gonna be super serious 759 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:23,840 but when you have someone who's not 760 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:26,159 entrenched in this doesn't understand 761 00:25:29,669 --> 00:25:28,320 the seriousness of it or the potential 762 00:25:32,549 --> 00:25:29,679 threat of it from a 763 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:32,559 military angle uh it's gonna be 764 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:33,520 completely different 765 00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:35,760 so yeah i'm sure it is a case-to-case 766 00:25:40,470 --> 00:25:37,919 basis but you're right i remember 767 00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:40,480 growing up in uh my hometown of syracuse 768 00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:43,120 new york whenever the topic of ufos was 769 00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:46,000 discussed on our local news it was it 770 00:25:49,669 --> 00:25:46,960

00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:52,720 maybe has a lot to do with that i think 805 00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:54,880 the fact that it's on the front page now 806 00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:56,880 of newspapers has 807 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:58,400 you know incredible amount to do with 808 00:27:02,470 --> 00:27:00,159 the seriousness of this 809 00:27:03,190 --> 00:27:02,480 um the fact that my old co-host who you

--> 00:29:04,880 time um 874 00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:07,039 and then i remember you jim and i and 875 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:08,880 micah hanks we did a sort of a round 876 00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:09,919 table that year 877 00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:12,159 right talking about the you know it's 878 00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:13,679 amazing and 879 00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:17,360 um so my initial reaction was i hope 880 00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:20,000 that this is the first of many you know 881 00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:21,760 i hope that this is the first of many 882 00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:22,720 shoes to drop 883 00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:26,480 and that was 20 2017 it was december 884 00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:29,919 what 15th or 16th of like 2017 885 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:31,840 and just before christmas so everyone's 886 00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:33,360 kind of paying attention to their 887 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:34,880 christmas shopping and 888 00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:37,200 i i wish that it would have had i mean 889 00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:38,840 in our community i think it had major 890 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:40,080 reverberations i 891 00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:41,840 i just at the end of the day i wonder 892 00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:44,000 you know it really got me thinking like 893 00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:45,679 this is the biggest story this could 894 00:29:47,909 --> 00:29:47,440 potentially be the biggest story of all 895 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:47,919 time 896 00:29:51,909 --> 00:29:49,440 i remember having this conversation with 897 00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:51,919 tucker carlson who was my co-host and 898 00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:55,039 and went on to host his own show and we 899 00:30:00,070 --> 00:29:57,600 would talk off camera and you know 900 00:30:01,590 --> 00:30:00,080 i would say i i don't know i can't think 901 00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,600 of a bigger story and he said there is 902 00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:03,600 no bigger story like this should be the 903 00:30:08,950 --> 00:30:06,080 biggest story of all time 904 00:30:09,269 --> 00:30:08,960 and great for him for like continuing 905 00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:09,279 and 906 00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:12,720 over the years you know say what you 907 00:30:16,710 --> 00:30:14,080 want about 908 00:30:17,909 --> 00:30:16,720 fox it's politics hit whatever like i'm 909 00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:17,919 just separating this 910 00:30:21,750 --> 00:30:20,159 from that so just you know because 911 00:30:23,269 --> 00:30:21,760 there's a lot i don't agree with him in 912 00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:23,279 politics like that let's not 913 00:30:27,269 --> 00:30:25,840 confuse the two at all um i think you 914 00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:27,279 know that about me but 915 00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:29,360 let's just talk about this story this 916 00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:30,799 issue this coverage 917 00:30:36,389 --> 00:30:34,240 and i was just i was in shock and then 918 00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:36,399 yes more shoes started to drop and just 919 00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:37,679 recently so 920 00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:39,200 i think we're starting to see the fruits 921 00:30:43,269 --> 00:30:41,440 of this and i think 922 00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:43,279 hopefully it seems like more shoes are 923 00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:45,840 about to drop and so i think 924 00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:48,080 wow if i just wonder though do the 925 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:49,520 american people 926 00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:52,720 see it this way i just i'm curious to me 927 00:30:57,029 --> 00:30:55,440 this is like the most mind-altering 928 00:31:00,470 --> 00:30:57,039 earth-shattering 929 00:31:02,950 --> 00:31:00,480 story in in my lifetime 930 00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:02,960 and to know that this is here to know 931 00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:04,399 that this exists 932 00:31:08,789 --> 00:31:06,399 to know that these pilots are watching 933 00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:08,799 craft fire into the ocean 934 00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:11,840 and move at speeds that they that 935 00:31:15,269 --> 00:31:14,399 not even you know the the minutemen air 936 00:31:17,669 --> 00:31:15,279 missiles 937 00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:17,679 not could even come close to the speeds 938 00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:19,440 how what do we attribute that to and do 939 00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:21,440 do most of most people who are walking 940 00:31:26,230 --> 00:31:24,240 around worrying about paying their bills 941 00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:26,240 who can't even put food on their table 942 00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:28,159 can't pay rent 943 00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:29,760 how does this sit with them and so th 944 00:31:33,029 --> 00:31:31,760 it's a it's a weird kind of story to be 945 00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:33,039 sitting right now in the middle of this 946 00:31:36,549 --> 00:31:34,240 like sort of pandemic 947 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:36,559 backdrop and all of this you know i i 948 00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:38,399 kind of i think about those things 949 00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:41,120 and i mean i think a lot of us do and um 950 00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:43,120 yeah i mean it's exciting and we're 951 00:31:45,830 --> 00:31:44,080 getting 952 00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:45,840 more information than i think we ever 953 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:47,840 have on the ufo topic within 954 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,080 you know official dumb or government but 955 00:31:54,149 --> 00:31:52,080 i think you're right i think you know 956 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,159 whether i don't want to get too 957 00:31:57,909 --> 00:31:55,919 conspiratorial but you know whether it 958 00:31:59,509 --> 00:31:57,919 was planned to drop these things now 959 00:32:01,190 --> 00:31:59,519 in the middle of a pandemic where people 960 00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:01,200 will not pay attention 961 00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:03,440 or you know the department of defense 962 00:32:09,509 --> 00:32:06,159 officially releasing those ufo videos 963 00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:09,519 uh right when the pandemic was kind of 964 00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:12,640 ramping up uh you do have to wonder are 965 00:32:15,909 --> 00:32:14,000 these things sort of 966 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:15,919 dropped on knowing that a lot of the 967 00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:17,600 public won't be paying attention 968 00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:20,240 and maybe maybe not but i think you're 969 00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:20,799 right 970 00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:22,399 clayton i mean i wake up every morning 971 00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:24,880 being like how how has the world not 972 00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:26,159 reacted to the news 973 00:32:29,590 --> 00:32:28,720 that like the pentagon was briefed on 974 00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:29,600 off-world 975 00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:31,440 vehicles that's something i wanted to 976 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:32,799 ask you about as well 977 00:32:37,590 --> 00:32:36,240 or you know um signatures of life on 978 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:37,600 venus 979 00:32:41,830 --> 00:32:39,840 within the last few weeks i mean this is 980 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:41,840 like mind-blowing things that could 981 00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:44,000 potentially change our entire world 982 00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:46,960 but i think you're right you know we we 983 00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:48,880 are creatures just trying to survive 984 00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:51,760 right now in a very uncertain time and 985 00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:54,640 people are out of work and um people are 986 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:56,080 trying to figure out how the hell 987 00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:57,760 they're gonna pay their bills next month 988 00:33:01,830 --> 00:32:58,559 and 989 00:33:03,909 --> 00:33:01,840 these amazing things are happening but 990 00:33:05,509 --> 00:33:03,919 does anyone care that that's a really 991 00:33:08,389 --> 00:33:05,519 good question 992 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:08,399 i once had a co-host and uh i won't name 993 00:33:12,549 --> 00:33:10,720 i won't name her name but uh 994 00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:12,559 we were talking about this and i had 995 00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:13,760 spoken to 996 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:17,519 a couple of high-ranking generals who 997 00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:20,000 told me some things that would you know 998 00:33:24,230 --> 00:33:20,720 would 999 00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:24,240 probably to be careful here um 1000 00:33:27,590 --> 00:33:26,720 confirm a lot of what we know think 1001 00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:27,600 about 1002 00:33:31,029 --> 00:33:30,240 these secret programs etc and i remember 1003 00:33:34,230 --> 00:33:31,039 having a co 1004 00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:34,240 uh co-host uh who said in a break 1005 00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:34,720 because i 1006 00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:36,559 mentioned this and talking about in the 1007 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:38,559 air so how can you think we're alone 1008 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:40,960 like i think it's kind of i don't want 1009 00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:42,000 to say arrogant 1010 00:33:48,149 --> 00:33:45,200 but to think that this is it like 1011 00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:48,159 here i am in sweatpants like this is it 1012 00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:48,880 this is the 1013 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:51,760 the highest epitome of the universe is 1014 00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:52,000 you're 1015 00:33:57,269 --> 00:33:55,120 looking at it you know like really um 1016 00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:57,279 and with all of the data that we now 1017 00:34:00,549 --> 00:33:58,640 have and all and 1018 00:34:02,070 -->

00:34:05,840 and my daughter or something like that 1022 00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:06,399 um 1023 00:34:09,430 --> 00:34:07,840 i don't know how she said it i just 1024 00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:09,440 remember thinking like but that's 1025 00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:12,079 probably how a lot of people think like 1026 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:13,919 what does this have to do with me going 1027 00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:14,960 home after work 1028 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,960 right having to take care of my daughter 1029 00:34:19,829 --> 00:34:18,079 and 1030 00:34:21,829 --> 00:34:19,839 that is a pr i remember even tweeting 1031 00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:21,839 about a recent ufo story on 1032 00:34:24,869 --> 00:34:24,240 on twitter and and someone saying will 1033 00:34:27,510 -->

information now 1037 00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:31,359 and i think we need to go back to 1038 00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:32,480 something you said 1039 00:34:35,669 --> 00:34:34,720 because it's i think it's very true and 1040 00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:35,679 i think and 1041 00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:37,280 don't undercut don't under count what 1042 00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:38,879 you just said and i hope your audience 1043 00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:40,240 hears that 1044 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:43,359 this idea that oh they like 1045 00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:45,599 maybe they just released this because it 1046 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:47,200 was time for them to release this 1047 00:34:51,750 --> 00:34:49,760 or they release it because they knew it 1048 00:34:53,109 --> 00:34:51,760 would be downplayed they could bury it 1049 00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:53,119 they could hide it 1050 00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:54,800 we now have enough information about how 1051 00:34:59,030 --> 00:34:56,879 our government lies to us 1052 00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:59,040 to i think err on the side of your 1053 00:35:02,950 --> 00:34:59,920 comments 1054 00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:02,960 rather than think that 1055 00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:04,720 it's just a coincidence that these 1056 00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:06,079 things happen in this way 1057 00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:08,160 we've seen enough evidence of this now 1058 00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:10,560 at in every major department of the us 1059 00:35:13,270 --> 00:35:11,440 government 1060 00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:13,280 and it's it's frightening i mean it is 1061 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:14,960 absolutely frightening to be both 1062 00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:16,720 in the journalism world where we covered 1063 00:35:20,390 --> 00:35:18,320 these things where we covered 1064 00:35:22,470 --> 00:35:20,400 departments lying hiding covering up 1065 00:35:25,510 --> 00:35:22,480 targeting certain groups 1066 00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:25,520 uh to the other side of it um so i i 1067 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:27,119 i i want to commend you for bringing 1068 00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:28,240 that up because i really think that 1069 00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:29,680 that's the case and i think 1070 00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:31,520 yeah we can't put a to to find a point 1071 00:35:34,550 --> 00:35:32,960 on if we all believe that the government 1072 00:35:36,150 --> 00:35:34,560 is just sitting there 1073 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:36,160 has our best interests at heart we need 1074 00:35:41,109 --> 00:35:38,320 to to get our heads examined 1075 00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:41,119 right yeah and you know so many former 1076 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,240 military people 1077 00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:44,720 and uh officials within government have 1078 00:35:48,630 --> 00:35:45,920 told me the same thing 1079 00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:48,640 you know uh yeah like a lot of the times 1080 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:51,040 we have lied and we have hidden and 1081 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:52,960 it's for a reason and there's times 1082 00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:54,640 where i understand that 1083 00:35:57,750 --> 00:35:56,960 you know there's national security and 1084 00:35:59,430 --> 00:35:57,760 and things of this 1085 00:36:01,990 --> 00:35:59,440 nature but then there comes a point 1086 00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:02,000 where um you know you can't put that 1087 00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:03,440 genie back in the bottle you can't 1088 00:36:08,390 --> 00:36:05,680 expect the public to believe 1089 00:36:09,109 --> 00:36:08,400 what you say when you have lied to us so 1090 00:36:11,510 --> 00:36:09,119 much 1091 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:11,520 in the past and right and look like i'm 1092 00:36:14,310 --> 00:36:12,320 i'm 1093 00:36:15,589 --> 00:36:14,320 i consider myself a pretty

uh you know we hope that they haven't 1124 00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:16,160 made some sort of technological leap and 1125 00:37:19,589 --> 00:37:17,599 yeah we want to check into this and you 1126

00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:24,960 i i just find it incredibly hard to 1130 00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:26,320 believe 1131 00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:29,040 given the you know just finishing up 1132 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:30,640 reading bob woodward's new book 1133 00:37:36,550 --> 00:37:33,760 rage um by the way it's funny to read 1134 00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:36,560 like look at the covers for rage in 1135 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:37,680 other languages 1136 00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:39,359 like when you see like the book covers 1137 00:37:43,589 --> 00:37:41,680 in portuguese and spanish and 1138 00:37:44,790 --> 00:37:43,599 they all have their one word to describe 1139 00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:44,800 rage you know 1140 00:37:49,109 --> 00:37:46,079 anyway it's about president trump and 1141 00:37:52,310 --> 00:37:49,119 but you you get to see the level of 1142 00:37:53,589 --> 00:37:52,320 pinpoint precision intelligence on north 1143 00:37:56,390 --> 00:37:53,599 korea 1144 00:37:57,670 --> 00:37:56,400 and minute by minute movement of small 1145 00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:57,680 little things 1146 00:38:01,109 --> 00:38:00,320 inside of north korea you mean to tell 1147 00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:01,119 me 1148 00:38:07,349 --> 00:38:04,160 that they wouldn't be concerned with 1149 00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:07,359 vehicles flying over malstrom air force 1150 00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,119 base or god knows where else 1151 00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:11,760 turning off nuclear missiles come on 1152 00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:12,800 come on man 1153 00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:15,119 right yeah yeah and we have so many 1154 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:16,960 instances where this has 1155 00:38:21,270 --> 00:38:19,200 apparently happened where these unknown 1156 00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:21,280 craft have turned on turned off these 1157 00:38:25,589 --> 00:38:23,200 things you look at rendelsham 1158 00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:25,599 uh maelstrom like you mentioned that 1159 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:27,119 there's no way this isn't 1160 00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:29,040 a concern so i guess why we're on that 1161 00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:30,560 topic clayton of the 1162 00:38:35,430 --> 00:38:33,599 uap task force do you think we're going 1163 00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:35,440 to get anything from this as the public 1164 00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:37,280 we know there's going to be a classified 1165 00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:38,320 nature to it 1166 00:38:41,589 --> 00:38:40,000 and that's probably where all of it's 1167 00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:41,599 going to lie but um 1168 00:38:44,710 --> 00:38:43,520 are we are are we going to get anything 1169 00:38:46,710 --> 00:38:44,720 from this task force 1170 00:38:48,710 --> 00:38:46,720 or is this project blue book all over 1171 00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:48,720 again where yeah they say they're gonna 1172 00:38:53,589 --> 00:38:50,880 look into it but then it just turns out 1173 00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:53,599 they're gonna explain it all away and 1174 00:38:57,750 --> 00:38:54,800 and 1175 00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:57,760 you know bury it again what do you think 1176 00:39:01,829 --> 00:38:59,520 i think the cat is out of the bag 1177 00:39:03,829 -->

pressure of um one 1257 00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:39,119 particular 1258 00:41:44,790 --> 00:41:42,160 group and that is to the stars academy 1259 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,800 whether you love them or

00:41:53,599 these guys have pushed a lot of 1264 00:41:57,270 --> 00:41:55,359 people that they used to work with 1265 00:41:59,270 --> 00:41:57,280 within the government in corners 1266 00:42:01,990 --> 00:41:59,280 and said give us the information or 1267 00:42:04,550 --> 00:42:02,000 we're gonna we will find ways to get it 1268 00:42:05,510 --> 00:42:04,560 um so what do you make of this group i 1269 00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:05,520 mean they're 1270 00:42:08,550 --> 00:42:06,800 you know they're kind of at the 1271 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:08,560 forefront right now when you think of 1272 00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:09,760 ufo 1273 00:42:16,630 --> 00:42:14,560 poster child right now 1274 00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:16,640 so you do what do you think about this 1275 00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:18,000 group and what they're doing 1276 00:42:21,589 --> 00:42:20,640 so i mean let's just go back to 2017 1277 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:21,599 right which 1278 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:23,920 the reason that we have these clips 1279 00:42:31,109 --> 00:42:24,720 these 1280 00:42:32,230 --> 00:42:31,119 is because of to the stars academy right 1281 00:42:35,829 --> 00:42:32,240 and then 1282 00:42:38,309 --> 00:42:35,839 the pentagon coming out in april 1283 00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:38,319 and determining and admitting yet yet 1284 00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:39,280 that those are 1285 00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:42,240 on those unclassified videos they don't 1286 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:44,240 reveal any sensitive capabilities but 1287 00:42:46,309 --> 00:42:45,599 we're going to admit basically that 1288 00:42:48,790 --> 00:42:46,319 they're real 1289 00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:48,800 and the dod then released the videos 1290 00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:49,520 also 1291 00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:51,280 i mean it all started with them so it's 1292 00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:53,280 very easy for keyboard cowboys who are 1293 00:42:57,270 --> 00:42:54,000 sitting back 1294 00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:57,280 not doing anything to uh criticize 1295 00:43:01,270 --> 00:42:59,760 that you can have disagreements with 1296 00:43:02,950 --> 00:43:01,280 different things that they've done or 1297 00:43:03,430 --> 00:43:02,960 the way that they've approached sort of 1298 00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:03,440 a drip 1299 00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:07,040 campaign of things etc etc but 1300 00:43:11,109 --> 00:43:09,520 i think it's exciting i mean i i like to 1301 00:43:12,069 --> 00:43:11,119 give people the benefit of the doubt i'm 1302 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:12,079 sort of a glass 1303 00:43:15,829 --> 00:43:14,960 half full kind of a guy to begin with i 1304 00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:15,839 remember tom 1305 00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:17,760 number of years ago talking about their 1306 00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:19,680 approach to this and i thought the 1307 00:43:22,309 --> 00:43:21,520 approach was really fascinating which 1308 00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:22,319 was 1309 00:43:26,069 --> 00:43:24,400 we're going to have an entertainment arm 1310 00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:26,079 which could help desensitize 1311 00:43:29,750 --> 00:43:28,640 people to the story and you know read 1312 00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:29,760 their books read their 1313 00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:31,920 and i think you could see that i think 1314 00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:34,000 you could understand that if people 1315 00:43:38,309 --> 00:43:36,400 are able to sort of digest that these 1316 00:43:39,270 --> 00:43:38,319 government programs are here that this 1317 00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:39,280 is happening that they've been 1318 00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:40,800 researching this for years this sort of 1319 00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:42,800 drip campaign of entertainment 1320 00:43:46,710 --> 00:43:44,880 or sort of it's like preparing us for it 1321 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:46,720 in a way because 1322 00:43:49,750 --> 00:43:48,560 maybe we weren't ready for it before i 1323 00:43:51,190 --> 00:43:49,760 don't know and i don't know that that's 1324 00:43:53,990 --> 00:43:51,200 the right approach 1325 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:54,000 it's an interesting take so i i'm not 1326 00:43:57,270 --> 00:43:54,960 one of those per 1327 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:57,280 people that is um out with the 1328 00:44:01,109 --> 00:43:58,880 pitchforks for them and and 1329 00:44:02,309 --> 00:44:01,119 has a negative feeling towards it i i 1330 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:02,319 think 1331 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,160 they brought they they've shined a light 1332 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:05,920 on something that we didn't know about 1333 00:44:10,150 --> 00:44:08,319 we've had confirmation of it now because 1334 00:44:11,670 --> 00:44:10,160 of it and they're continuing to do this 1335 00:44:13,910 --> 00:44:11,680 work and let's see what they get 1336 00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:13,920 i think it's exciting let's take what we 1337 00:44:18,069 --> 00:44:16,160 can get instead of like you said 1338 00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:18,079 using pitchforks and this and that and 1339 00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:20,000 look i understand you know there's 1340 00:44:23,990 --> 00:44:22,480 there's independent ufo researchers all 1341 00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:24,000 over the world who have busted their 1342 00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:26,160 asses for decades just to like 1343 00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:29,359 get any piece of the puzzle and 1344 00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:32,480 to uh you know find answers or 1345 00:44:35,829 --> 00:44:34,960 or whatnot and a lot of them sacrifice 1346 00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:35,839 their 1347 00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:43,440 uh right and haven't ever gotten the 1348 00:44:45,910 --> 00:44:45,200 attention or acknowledgement like this 1349 00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:45,920 group has 1350 00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:48,960 but i'm all for anyone who's willing to 1351 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:50,000 get this topic out 1352 00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,760 there and uh get it out to the 1353 00:44:55,910 --> 00:44:53,440 mainstream and 1354 00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:55,920 i'm gonna ride the wave man look if 1355 00:44:59,750 --> 00:44:57,440 these guys are doing their thing 1356 00:45:00,790 --> 00:44:59,760 i'm gonna do mine like we we all have a 1357 00:45:02,470 --> 00:45:00,800 place in this 1358 00:45:04,950 --> 00:45:02,480 i think it's what's most important you 1359 00:45:07,349 --> 00:45:04,960 know when you have former military 1360 00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:07,359 and uh intelligence officials looking at 1361 00:45:11,349 --> 00:45:09,200 this as a potential threat 1362 00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:11,359 uh that's one thing but then for every 1363 00:45:15,430 --> 00:45:13,040 one of those there's 1364 00:45:16,069 --> 00:45:15,440 hundreds of civilians who have witnessed 1365 00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:16,079 things 1366 00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:18,240 that i want to go talk to and i want to 1367 00:45:22,630 --> 00:45:20,560 get to know and hear their thoughts so 1368 00:45:23,829 --> 00:45:22,640 i think yeah there is a there's room at 1369 00:45:25,270 --> 00:45:23,839 the table for everyone 1370 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:25,280 right and i think you know some of the 1371 00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:27,200 generals and and governors that i've 1372 00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:28,319 spoken to 1373 00:45:32,069 --> 00:45:31,599 off camera off the record um who have 1374 00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:32,079 told me 1375 00:45:35,829 --> 00:45:34,480 things that confirming and corroborating 1376 00:45:38,630 --> 00:45:35,839 a lot of what we hear 1377 00:45:39,670 --> 00:45:38,640 and to them to say you know that they 1378 00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:39,680 and i can tell 1379 00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:41,440 in their way that they're telling me 1380 00:45:45,109 --> 00:45:42,720 that they felt 1381 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:45,119 that these stories should be told that 1382 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:46,079 these things need 1383 00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:48,240 like they don't feel like these things 1384 00:45:51,829 --> 00:45:50,240 these are secrets that should be held by 1385 00:45:54,069 --> 00:45:51,839 the us military 1386 00:45:56,309 --> 00:45:54,079 these are not things that should be that 1387 00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:56,319 withheld from the american public 1388 00:45:59,510 --> 00:45:58,640 or the world for that matter and so i 1389 00:46:01,270 --> 00:45:59,520 can 1390 00:46:03,589 --> 00:46:01,280 in my discussions with them over the 1391 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:03,599 time um many many years 1392 00:46:07,270 --> 00:46:06,000 i know that this is like an unburdening 1393 00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:07,280 in some ways and this is 1394 00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:09,839 uh they're happy about it this is a 1395 00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:11,760 confirmation a wink wink yes 1396 00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:14,240 like we've known this this is just the 1397 00:46:18,150 --> 00:46:16,240 tip of the iceberg kind of stuff 1398 00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:18,160 see that's awesome that's invigorating 1399 00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:20,000 to hear that even those who once 1400 00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:22,400 had to suppress the information are like 1401 00:46:27,430 --> 00:46:23,119 finally 1402 00:46:31,109 --> 00:46:27,440 right we can only hope you know 1403 00:46:32,950 --> 00:46:31,119 i'm sure there's many roswell witnesses 1404 00:46:33,910

00:46:52,160 um conspiracy theory it is something 1414 00:46:55,829 --> 00:46:53,200 that has become 1415 00:46:56,309 --> 00:46:55,839 quite popular you know as of late with 1416 00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:56,319 um 1417 00:47:00,550 --> 00:46:58,640 you know even up to the last few days 1418 00:47:01,349 --> 00:47:00,560 with national news covering things like 1419 00:47:03,829 --> 00:47:01,359 q anon 1420 00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:03,839 and you know other baseless conspiracy 1421 00:47:07,349 --> 00:47:04,480 theories 1422 00:47:08,309 --> 00:47:07,359 um you know to the point where a militia 1423 00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:08,319 group just 1424 00:47:11,750 --> 00:47:11,040 was thwarted from kidnapping a governor 1425 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:11,760 of a state 1426 00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:14,240 right um because they believed they were 1427 00:47:19,109 --> 00:47:16,160 handling the pandemic 1428 00:47:20,710 --> 00:47:19,119 in a not so good way and taking away our 1429

you're 1465 00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:34,800 watching msnbc you're watching cnn 1466 00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:36,160 you're watching fox you're watching any 1467 00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:37,920 of these channels and they're all 1468 00:48:43,510 --> 00:48:41,440 they're all for-profit massive companies 1469 00:48:45,430 --> 00:48:43,520 that have an agenda they have a 1470 00:48:47,190 --> 00:48:45,440 narrative they have a story 1471 00:48:48,790 --> 00:48:47,200 and they know their audience and they're 1472 00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:48,800 not going to tell you 1473 00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:51,280 the more difficult pieces of that story 1474 00:48:55,190 --> 00:48:52,480 so msnbc 1475 00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:55,200 is not going to tell you go deeper into 1476 00:48:58,309 -->

00:49:31,440 because there's a whole world out there 1495 00:49:34,630 --> 00:49:34,079 of people in the united states there's a 1496 00:49:37,589 --> 00:49:34,640 hundred 1497 00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:37,599 million people that don't vote 100 1498 00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:38,400 million 1499 00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:40,720 it's awful but here's what's so sad 1500 00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:41,839 about this 1501 00:49:45,109 --> 00:49:43,359 and i don't know i don't want to get 1502 00:49:46,790 --> 00:49:45,119 into politics here but i think it's so 1503 00:49:48,069 --> 00:49:46,800 important i'm an independent let me just 1504 00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:48,079 say that first and foremost i've been 1505 00:49:51,510 --> 00:49:50,160 i've been an independent for years 1506 00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:51,520 people think oh you're a fox you're a 1507 00:49:55,589 --> 00:49:53,760 conservative no i was a like progressive 1508 00:49:57,430 --> 00:49:55,599 liberal guy from philly and yet i don't 1509 00:49:59,349 --> 00:49:57,440 think the democratic party so 1510 00:50:00,950 --> 00:49:59,359 either way i think that they're product 1511 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:00,960 of the same 1512 00:50:06,309 --> 00:50:04,720 huge corporate elite agenda 1513 00:50:08,150 --> 00:50:06,319 and the reason that you see wall street 1514 00:50:10,870 --> 00:50:08,160 doing just fine is because if 1515 00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:10,880 biden wins they'll be fine if trump wins 1516 00:50:14,230 --> 00:50:12,160 they'll be fine 1517 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:14,240 because they're all part of this same 1518 00:50:17,430 --> 00:50:15,359 machine 1519 00:50:19,430 --> 00:50:17,440 you know why during the dnc didn't we 1520 00:50:22,710 --> 00:50:19,440 hear the democrats talking about 1521 00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:22,720 a really strong green energy policy 1522 00:50:26,230 --> 00:50:24,800 why didn't we hear them talking about 1523 00:50:29,510 --> 00:50:26,240 public education 1524 00:50:30,630 --> 00:50:29,520 for all medicare for all uh universal 1525 00:50:32,230 --> 00:50:30,640 health care 1526 00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:32,240 all of those things just got swept under 1527 00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:33,760 the rug why didn't 1528 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:36,640 why did we same thing with the rnc it's 1529 00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:38,400 just an extension of the same stuff 1530 00:50:42,069 --> 00:50:40,240 and so there's not much that changes i 1531 00:50:43,030 --> 00:50:42,079 have little bits of tape changes that 1532 00:50:44,710 --> 00:50:43,040 tax code and 1533 00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:44,720 grover my dog agrees with me because he 1534 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:45,920 hears me talking about this every 1535 00:50:49,109 --> 00:50:47,200 morning on my show 1536 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:49,119 and he gets fired up about it so here 1537 00:50:52,710 --> 00:50:50,400 here girl 1538 00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:52,720 yeah so he understands so you know i 1539 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:53,440 think 1540 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:55,440 the thing is that if people can start to 1541 00:50:59,430 --> 00:50:56,880 look at the media 1542 00:51:00,870 --> 00:50:59,440 the mainstream media as in fact in many 1543 00:51:04,150 --> 00:51:00,880 ways like an enemy 1544 00:51:04,870 --> 00:51:04,160 of truth and they can really start to 1545 00:51:07,510 --> 00:51:04,880 question 1546 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:07,520 everything that they're watching i can 1547 00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:08,480 really start to 1548 00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:10,800 to open us up to these ideas that we can 1549 00:51:14,470 --> 00:51:12,640 get more truth out there 1550 00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:14,480 for and i think when people are 1551 00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:16,480 supporting your show 1552 00:51:20,790 --> 00:51:18,640 the listeners of your show when they go 1553 00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:20,800 to your website and buy a mug 1554 00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:23,440 buy a t-shirt like they are supporting 1555 00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:25,200 independent journalism 1556 00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:27,440 the work that you do on this show is 1557 00:51:30,390 --> 00:51:28,400 phenomenal 1558 00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:30,400 the stories that you uncover the 1559 00:51:35,349 --> 00:51:32,240 interviews you're able to get 1560 00:51:37,349 --> 00:51:35,359 the mainstream media will not cover it 1561 00:51:38,950 --> 00:51:37,359 they will not cover it so i think that 1562 00:51:41,349 --> 00:51:38,960 these conspiracy theories 1563 00:51:43,030 --> 00:51:41,359 are in many ways sort of tailor-made for 1564 00:51:46,549 --> 00:51:43,040 the mainstream media 1565 00:51:48,309 --> 00:51:46,559 and this idea of you know cueing on or 1566 00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:48,319 whatever else like becoming the 1567 00:51:54,309 --> 00:51:52,079 the buzzword of the day it's so easy for 1568 00:51:55,430 --> 00:51:54,319 you to be on facebook and only see the 1569 00:51:57,910 --> 00:51:55,440 feeds that are 1570 00:51:59,589 --> 00:51:57,920 they're tailor-made for you right as a 1571 00:52:00,230 --> 00:51:59,599 conspiracy theorist or who's a 1572 00:52:03,430 -->

--> 00:54:12,559 it it just puts a wall up between you 1642 00:54:16,549 --> 00:54:14,240 and it's terrifying because i'm like 1643 00:54:17,190 --> 00:54:16,559 well how are we ever gonna get past that 1644 00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:17,200 or 1645 00:54:20,549 --> 00:54:19,520 how do we go back to a time where this 1646 00:54:21,990 --> 00:54:20,559 wasn't and 1647 00:54:23,990 --> 00:54:22,000

--> 00:55:19,280 and what other independent podcasters 1676 00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:21,119 and and journalists do 1677 00:55:24,789 --> 00:55:22,960 so yeah like like you said if we're 1678

i do my 1684 00:55:39,589 --> 00:55:37,920 youtube show and i i 1685 00:55:41,750 --> 00:55:39,599 you know like i have this theory that 1686 00:55:43,349 --> 00:55:41,760 trump is you know um 1687 00:55:44,870 --> 00:55:43,359 so i did a whole thing today on the show 1688 00:55:45,829 --> 00:55:44,880 about how i think that trump is just 1689 00:55:47,829 --> 00:55:45,839 playing everybody 1690 00:55:49,910 --> 00:55:47,839 and i think that he's totally trying to 1691 00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:49,920 throw the election on purpose 1692 00:55:53,750 --> 00:55:52,160 and here's why because when i was at fox 1693 00:55:56,069 --> 00:55:53,760 in 2016 1694 00:55:58,710 --> 00:55:56,079 months before the election anchors were 1695 00:56:01,190 --> 00:55:58,720 being courted to sort of join a trump tv 1696 00:56:02,230 --> 00:56:01,200 network and you know so like and now 1697 00:56:04,150 --> 00:56:02,240 that's happening again 1698 00:56:05,670 --> 00:56:04,160 like this is like they've already laid 1699 00:56:07,510 --> 00:56:05,680 the groundwork he's 1.2 million 1700 00:56:09,750 --> 00:56:07,520 subscribers on his trump tv 1701 00:56:11,109 --> 00:56:09,760 channel uh he does not want to do this 1702 00:56:12,630 --> 00:56:11,119 another four years he never wanted to do 1703 00:56:14,230 --> 00:56:12,640 it in the first place it was all a media 1704 00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:14,240 play to pay off debt and you know to 1705 00:56:18,630 --> 00:56:15,280 build a media brand 1706 00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:18,640 yeah um and so i i mean it's it's plain 1707 00:56:20,710

1777 00:58:27,430 --> 00:58:25,359 like 1778 00:58:29,349 --> 00:58:27,440 i have been manipulated to think this 1779 00:58:30,069 --> 00:58:29,359 way and to tweet because every tweet i 1780

could 1790 00:58:49,750 --> 00:58:48,559 realize that and stop feeding the 1791 00:58:52,150 --> 00:58:49,760 divisiveness 1792 00:58:54,470 --> 00:58:52,160 i think we'd get we'd get somewhere and 1793 00:58:55,990 --> 00:58:54,480 i hope i hope that could happen someday 1794 00:58:58,710 --> 00:58:56,000 i i fear 1795 00:59:00,230 --> 00:58:58,720 we've kind of gone past it but hey look 1796 00:59:02,470 --> 00:59:00,240 sometimes you gotta 1797 00:59:04,230 --> 00:59:02,480 you gotta break everything down before 1798 00:59:06,069 --> 00:59:04,240 you build it back up but um 1799 00:59:08,069 --> 00:59:06,079 i completely agree with you you know i i 1800 00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:08,079 can have friends on both sides 1801 00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:10,160 and uh i think that's important to 1802 00:59:14,069 --> 00:59:11,119 realize what's 1803 00:59:15,589 --> 00:59:14,079 actually at stake and what's actually 1804 00:59:18,630 --> 00:59:15,599 important and that's 1805 00:59:21,430 --> 00:59:18,640 these things like climate change or 1806 00:59:23,030 --> 00:59:21,440 how to stop this pandemic it's not about 1807 00:59:25,270 --> 00:59:23,040 what trump thinks or 1808 00:59:26,710 --> 00:59:25,280 what biden thinks or kamala harris or 1809 00:59:29,270 --> 00:59:26,720 pence or whatever 1810 00:59:31,430 --> 00:59:29,280 these are just like these are just 1811 00:59:32,069 --> 00:59:31,440 cartoons that they put in front of us 1812 00:59:35,990 --> 00:59:32,079 you know 1813 00:59:37,670 --> 00:59:36,000 just like parts of a puppet machine 1814 00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:37,680 and we just need to think for ourselves 1815 00:59:39,829 --> 00:59:39,280 and i think i that's why i just will say 1816 00:59:42,069 --> 00:59:39,839 this on 1817 00:59:43,349 --> 00:59:42,079 the politics piece i think if i could 1818 00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:43,359 leave in part anything 1819 00:59:46,789 --> 00:59:45,359 on politics to your audience something 1820 00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:46,799 that i'm passionate about it's about 1821 00:59:51,109 --> 00:59:48,480 like the state of maine 1822 00:59:51,829 --> 00:59:51,119 ranked choice voting the only state in 1823 00:59:54,549 --> 00:59:51,839 the country 1824 00:59:56,470 --> 00:59:54,559 right now that has ranked choice voting 1825 00:59:59,349 --> 00:59:56,480 and it's been upheld in the courts 1826 01:00:00,870 --> 00:59:59,359 and so this election cycle um depending 1827 01:00:02,549 --> 01:00:00,880 on when you're listening to this 1828 01:00:03,829 --> 01:00:02,559 hopefully before the election but 1829 01:00:05,430 --> 01:00:03,839 nevertheless if you live in the state of 1830 01:00:06,630 --> 01:00:05,440 maine you have ranked choice voting 1831 01:00:07,510 --> 01:00:06,640 which means you get to vote your 1832 01:00:09,589 --> 01:00:07,520 conscience so 1833 01:00:11,270 --> 01:00:09,599 if you think that joe jorgensen the 1834 01:00:13,910 --> 01:00:11,280 libertarian candidates right for you 1835 01:00:15,589 --> 01:00:13,920 and or you think howie hawkins the green 1836 01:00:18,789 --> 01:00:15,599 party candidate is right for you 1837 01:00:19,990 -->

01:00:23,440 hawkins as your top choice 1841 01:00:26,549 --> 01:00:24,960 and then you're like okay well if howie 1842 01:00:29,349 --> 01:00:26,559 doesn't get 50 of the vote like if he 1843 01:00:33,510 --> 01:00:29,359 doesn't then then then the second choice 1844 01:00:36,150 --> 01:00:33,520 you can pick joe biden third you want 1845 01:00:37,750 --> 01:00:36,160 donald trump great whatever and you can 1846 01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:37,760 do it in that order and get and 1847 01:00:41,430 --> 01:00:39,680 the beauty of it is you can still vote 1848 01:00:42,870 --> 01:00:41,440 your conscience but if that particular 1849 01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:42,880 candidate doesn't get the act 1850 01:00:45,910 --> 01:00:44,960 the requisite number then it drops to 1851 01:00:47,589 --> 01:00:45,920 the second choice 1852 01:00:49,589 --> 01:00:47,599 and third and fourth and it goes down 1853 01:00:50,470 --> 01:00:49,599 and it's they've been doing it through 1854 01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:50,480 their primaries 1855 01:00:53,910 --> 01:00:52,160 and it's been fantastic and there's 1856 01:00:55,510 --> 01:00:53,920 literally no downside and 1857 01:00:57,589 --> 01:00:55,520 now they've got it for the presidential 1858 01:01:00,230 --> 01:00:57,599 election and i'm super jealous of you 1859 01:01:01,670 --> 01:01:00,240 mainers so anyone's listening in maine 1860 01:01:03,349 --> 01:01:01,680 i mean this is like this is what our 1861 01:01:06,309 --> 01:01:03,359 democracy needs not this 1862 01:01:08,309 --> 01:01:06,319 two-party system that's totally corrupt 1863 01:01:09,190 --> 01:01:08,319 but the ability for other voices to 1864 01:01:12,789 --> 01:01:09,200 emerge 1865 01:01:14,789 --> 01:01:12,799 believe them and they're struck then 1866 01:01:16,470 --> 01:01:14,799 guess what people can vote their 1867 01:01:18,069 --> 01:01:16,480 conscience and somebody who 1868 01:01:19,990 --> 01:01:18,079 carries a message that's not bought and 1869 01:01:22,470 --> 01:01:20,000 sold by big corporations 1870 01:01:23,510 --> 01:01:22,480 that stands by us could actually emerge 1871 01:01:25,750 --> 01:01:23,520 so that's my little 1872 01:01:26,549 --> 01:01:25,760 ranked choice of voting psa for this 1873 01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:26,559 evening i 1874 01:01:30,870 --> 01:01:28,880 love it man well hey i mean it's true 1875 01:01:34,390 --> 01:01:30,880 though you know at least you can leave 1876 01:01:36,230 --> 01:01:34,400 knowing like i voted for who i wanted 1877 01:01:37,990 --> 01:01:36,240 to instead of being forced to vote for 1878 01:01:39,990 --> 01:01:38,000 one of the you know the main 1879 01:01:41,109 --> 01:01:40,000 the main people not from maine but the 1880 01:01:43,990 --> 01:01:41,119 main people out there 1881 01:01:44,390 --> 01:01:44,000 right so um that's that's cool i i do 1882 01:01:46,549 --> 01:01:44,400 hope 1883 01:01:47,750 --> 01:01:46,559 things move more in that direction but 1884 01:01:49,990 --> 01:01:47,760 you know if 1885 01:01:52,230 --> 01:01:50,000 if politics teach us anything it's that 1886 01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:52,240 it all it does is divide us 1887 01:01:56,870 --> 01:01:55,200 and that's unfortunate so i'm glad that 1888 01:02:00,470 --> 01:01:56,880 this ufo topic 1889 01:02:03,670 --> 01:02:00,480 um can pretty much remain bipartisan um 1890 01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:03,680 again it's much bigger than politics or 1891 01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:06,400 or nations or continents it could change 1892 01:02:09,510 --> 01:02:06,960 the world 1893 01:02:10,230 --> 01:02:09,520 so um i guess kind of moving back to 1894 01:02:12,549 --> 01:02:10,240 that 1895 01:02:14,309 --> 01:02:12,559 i gotta ask you being from pennsylvania 1896 01:02:18,230

01:02:31,280 parents were fairly ignorant when it 1906 01:02:34,950 --> 01:02:33,280 came to ufo-related stuff 1907 01:02:37,430 --> 01:02:34,960 um you know they were blue collar hard 1908 01:02:38,710 --> 01:02:37,440 workers and you know we we had no music 1909 01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:38,720 on in the house they would listen like 1910 01:02:42,549 --> 01:02:40,559 kenny rogers and a few things so 1911 01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:42,559 like any music i would listen to in the 1912 01:02:45,109 --> 01:02:43,680 house was because i 1913 01:02:46,789 --> 01:02:45,119 discovered it and the

top 1940 01:03:41,029 --> 01:03:39,599 spots 1941 01:03:42,829 --> 01:03:41,039 and for me to have like grown up in a 1942 01:03:44,150 --> 01:03:42,839 spot like that it's just been exciting 1943 01:03:45,750 --> 01:03:44,160 um 1944 01:03:47,190 --> 01:03:45,760 it's still an unsolved mystery you know 1945 01:03:49,430 --> 01:03:47,200 people want to say 1946 01:03:51,510 --> 01:03:49,440 that of course it was uh you know a 1947 01:03:52,470 --> 01:03:51,520 general what was it a general electric i 1948 01:03:55,670 --> 01:03:52,480 forget that the call 1949 01:03:58,069 --> 01:03:55,680 it was a mark ii re-entry vehicle right 1950 01:03:59,190 --> 01:03:58,079 like that yeah yeah that that's sort of 1951 01:04:00,789 --> 01:03:59,200 okay it was a you know 1952 01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:00,799 no one wanted to admit at the time in 1953 01:04:03,430 --> 01:04:02,880 the 60s that were spying on the russians 1954 01:04:05,589 --> 01:04:03,440 so 1955 01:04:06,549 --> 01:04:05,599 crash landed there and the military of 1956 01:04:08,950 --> 01:04:06,559 course swooped in 1957 01:04:10,710 --> 01:04:08,960 and blocked it off by 8 pm that night 1958 01:04:12,950 --> 01:04:10,720 they hauled away on a truck and 1959 01:04:13,990 --> 01:04:12,960 there's the funny little egg corn statue 1960 01:04:15,270 --> 01:04:14,000 up on that stilt 1961 01:04:17,910 --> 01:04:15,280 you know that's still there you can go 1962 01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:17,920 see it um but look i mean 1963 01:04:21,270 --> 01:04:19,599 that part of the country those you know 1964

it 1967 01:04:29,589 --> 01:04:27,359 and they would do really well thought 1968 01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:29,599 out piece of pieces on this i even 1969 01:04:33,029 --> 01:04:30,640 remember 1970 01:04:34,789 --> 01:04:33,039 um in college reading about the stories 1971 01:04:36,150 --> 01:04:34,799 that like dan majors would cover on it 1972 01:04:37,829 --> 01:04:36,160 and even years later 1973 01:04:39,349 --> 01:04:37,839 um would would write about it from the 1974 01:04:41,349 --> 01:04:39,359 pittsburgh post gazette 1975 01:04:43,670 --> 01:04:41,359 and they wouldn't just they wouldn't do 1976 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:43,680 the the x-files laughing yuck it up kind 1977 01:04:47,589 --> 01:04:45,359 of stuff they would actually do 1978 01:04:49,029 --> 01:04:47,599 like some some deep dive stories on this 1979 01:04:51,750 --> 01:04:49,039 with some really good reporting 1980 01:04:53,670 --> 01:04:51,760 interviewing um people from the mu you 1981 01:04:54,710 --> 01:04:53,680 know mutual ufo network from that area 1982 01:04:56,470 --> 01:04:54,720 so 1983 01:04:57,990 --> 01:04:56,480 it's been fascinating i think it is the 1984 01:05:01,430 --> 01:04:58,000 most famous 1985 01:05:02,150 --> 01:05:01,440 ufo story from pennsylvania what drew 1986 01:05:04,630 --> 01:05:02,160 you to it 1987 01:05:06,950 --> 01:05:04,640 um growing up i'm just curious is the 1988 01:05:09,109 --> 01:05:06,960 hieroglyphs is it the strange markings 1989 01:05:11,109 --> 01:05:09,119 is it the yeah 1990 01:05:12,549 --> 01:05:11,119 uh there's so much with this one man i 1991 01:05:14,230 --> 01:05:12,559 think the hieroglyphs were really 1992 01:05:16,870 --> 01:05:14,240 interesting i mean we've heard this in 1993 01:05:18,710 --> 01:05:16,880 several other cases like rendelsham 1994 01:05:21,109 --> 01:05:18,720 and whatnot that there are these weird 1995 01:05:22,470 --> 01:05:21,119 etchings even on the roswell debris 1996 01:05:24,789 --> 01:05:22,480 there were said to have been some sort 1997 01:05:26,950 --> 01:05:24,799 of hieroglyphics or whatnot um 1998 01:05:28,630 --> 01:05:26,960 right right there um but even besides 1999 01:05:32,069 --> 01:05:28,640 the craft itself 2000 01:05:35,750 --> 01:05:32,079 uh it was the i guess the immediacy 2001 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:35,760 and the uh the cares probably isn't the 2002 01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:36,000 right 2003 01:05:41,910 --> 01:05:39,680 word but the way the military came in 2004 01:05:43,190 --> 01:05:41,920 cordoned it off and literally like 2005 01:05:45,589 --> 01:05:43,200 confiscated 2006 01:05:46,470 --> 01:05:45,599 homes to to like make their home base 2007 01:05:50,150 --> 01:05:46,480 for this thing 2008 01:05:53,829 --> 01:05:50,160 it was clearly something extremely 2009 01:05:55,349 --> 01:05:53,839 either dangerous or or top secret 2010 01:05:57,270 --> 01:05:55,359 i mean they were kicking people out of 2011 01:05:57,829 --> 01:05:57,280 their homes and saying we need this to 2012 01:05:59,670 --> 01:05:57,839 uh 2013 01:06:02,150 --> 01:05:59,680 for communications and for this and for 2014 01:06:04,150 --> 01:06:02,160 recovery and they were silencing 2015 01:06:05,750 --> 01:06:04,160 everyone you know like the local fire 2016 01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:05,760 station was sent in to 2017 01:06:08,789 --> 01:06:07,760 stop a fire that happened after the 2018 01:06:10,870 --> 01:06:08,799 crash and 2019 01:06:12,309 --> 01:06:10,880 as soon as the flames were out they said 2020 01:06:13,029 --> 01:06:12,319 get out of here and never talk about 2021 01:06:15,829 --> 01:06:13,039 this again 2022 01:06:16,549 --> 01:06:15,839 so i think the uh the way the military 2023 01:06:18,390 --> 01:06:16,559 handled it 2024 01:06:20,150 --> 01:06:18,400 was always really intriguing to me i 2025 01:06:21,990 --> 01:06:20,160 hadn't really heard about that 2026 01:06:23,510 --> 01:06:22,000 other than roswell at the time when i 2027 01:06:25,750 --> 01:06:23,520 got into ufos 2028 01:06:28,870 --> 01:06:25,760 so yeah that's what fascinated me most 2029 01:06:30,870 --> 01:06:28,880 is we still don't know what it was 2030 01:06:32,069 --> 01:06:30,880 i think to in the children's siding you 2031 01:06:34,630 --> 01:06:32,079 know because hundreds 2032 01:06:35,109 --> 01:06:34,640 of people saw this hundreds so it wasn't 2033 01:06:36,630 --> 01:06:35,119 just 2034 01:06:37,910 --> 01:06:36,640 you know like a few and it was in the 2035 01:06:39,670 --> 01:06:37,920 middle of the night it was hundreds and 2036

would it's pittsburgh you know is a 2060 01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:22,160 fascinating broadcasting 2061 01:07:25,190 --> 01:07:24,240 i don't know if you know much about that 2062 01:07:28,309 --> 01:07:25,200 thing but like 2063 01:07:30,549 --> 01:07:28,319 the first the first radio station is 2064 01:07:32,309 --> 01:07:30,559 pittsburgh the very first radio station 2065 01:07:34,230 --> 01:07:32,319 started in a garage in 2066 01:07:36,230 --> 01:07:34,240 in pittsburgh pennsylvania and it was 2067 01:07:38,870 --> 01:07:36,240 kdka and it was 2068 01:07:40,150 --> 01:07:38,880 the re it's the only east coast call 2069 01:07:42,309 --> 01:07:40,160 sign with a k 2070 01:07:43,990 --> 01:07:42,319 you know all k signs or i think what 2071 01:07:47,750 --> 01:07:44,000 rest west of the rockies i guess 2072 01:07:50,230 --> 01:07:47,760 um so kdka is the only east coast 2073 01:07:51,430 --> 01:07:50,240 radio station and all of them are w's 2074 01:07:53,670 --> 01:07:51,440 you know on the west on the east coast 2075 01:07:54,470 --> 01:07:53,680 so it's this weird anomaly of kdka radio 2076 01:07:57,670 --> 01:07:54,480 and 2077 01:07:59,670 --> 01:07:57,680 that night when that happened um all of 2078 01:08:00,390 --> 01:07:59,680 these people were calling in to kdk 2079 01:08:01,670 --> 01:08:00,400 radio 2080 01:08:03,990 --> 01:08:01,680 so it's pittsburgh you know it's like an 2081 01:08:07,270 --> 01:08:04,000 hour north but still like kdk 2082 01:08:09,510 --> 01:08:07,280 kdka radio became like 2083 01:08:10,549 --> 01:08:09,520 that the nexus point for all of these 2084 01:08:12,950 --> 01:08:10,559 people calling in 2085 01:08:13,829 --> 01:08:12,960 eyewitnesses talking about what they had 2086 01:08:16,950 --> 01:08:13,839 seen 2087 01:08:20,070 --> 01:08:16,960 you know and everyone in that town was 2088 01:08:21,749 --> 01:08:20,080 on the radio listening to kdka radio 2089 01:08:23,430 --> 01:08:21,759 and telling them what they had seen 2090 01:08:24,070 --> 01:08:23,440 people are saying cars are coming out of 2091 01:08:26,470 --> 01:08:24,080 nowhere 2092 01:08:28,309 --> 01:08:26,480 the military showing up volunteer 2093 01:08:30,070 --> 01:08:28,319 firefighters police 2094 01:08:31,590 --> 01:08:30,080 reporters were flooding into the scene 2095 01:08:33,590 --> 01:08:31,600 at the time um 2096 01:08:35,269 --> 01:08:33,600 you know military personnel coming in it 2097 01:08:37,910 --> 01:08:35,279 was all over the place 2098 01:08:39,590 --> 01:08:37,920 and so you know i think what what really 2099 01:08:40,550 --> 01:08:39,600 struck i think the people of kecksburg 2100 01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:40,560 at the time 2101 01:08:43,829 --> 01:08:42,880 was just how quickly the military 2102 01:08:47,030 --> 01:08:43,839 arrived 2103 01:08:49,510 --> 01:08:47,040 and took charge and took over everything 2104 01:08:51,349 --> 01:08:49,520 so i guess that does raise the question 2105 01:08:52,470 --> 01:08:51,359 you know well if they were there that 2106 01:08:55,510 --> 01:08:52,480 quickly 2107 01:08:58,789 --> 01:08:55,520 in 1965 was it 2108 01:09:00,070 --> 01:08:58,799 this general electric mark ii spy 2109 01:09:02,709 --> 01:09:00,080 satellite that was 2110 01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:02,719 studying the russians and we didn't want 2111 01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:04,560 them to know that we were studying them 2112 01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:06,000 so we kept it under wraps 2113 01:09:11,110 --> 01:09:08,400 and kept it quiet but then again to your 2114 01:09:14,470 --> 01:09:11,120 point why the strange hieroglyphs why 2115 01:09:16,950 --> 01:09:14,480 yeah it's so enigmatic and 2116 01:09:18,470 --> 01:09:16,960 weird right you know and i i do agree 2117 01:09:21,749 --> 01:09:18,480 with you i think 2118 01:09:22,390 --> 01:09:21,759 this was some sort of either satellite 2119 01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:22,400 or 2120 01:09:29,669 --> 01:09:26,480 flight 2121 01:09:31,669 --> 01:09:29,679 shuttle i i don't know it's just 2122 01:09:32,950 --> 01:09:31,679 you're right the way the military moved 2123 01:09:34,870 --> 01:09:32,960 in so quickly 2124 01:09:36,870 --> 01:09:34,880 um it's almost as if they were tracking 2125 01:09:38,390 --> 01:09:36,880 this or they knew about it 2126 01:09:40,149 --> 01:09:38,400 um they didn't really know where it went 2127 01:09:43,669 --> 01:09:40,159 down but they knew it would be 2128 01:09:44,229 --> 01:09:43,679 in that area somewhere uh i do have to 2129 01:09:46,070 --> 01:09:44,239 wonder 2130 01:09:47,990 --> 01:09:46,080 yeah was this something not 2131 01:09:50,070 --> 01:09:48,000 extraterrestrial but something highly 2132 01:09:51,669 --> 01:09:50,080 exotic and classified yeah and you have 2133 01:09:53,110 --> 01:09:51,679 the pittsburgh post reporters too 2134 01:09:54,149 --> 01:09:53,120 because like i said i would i 2135 01:09:56,390 --> 01:09:54,159 when i was at the

old newspaper clippings 2142 01:10:09,910 --> 01:10:07,679 the pittsburgh post gazette and 2143 01:10:11,990 --> 01:10:09,920 and things and so you know you have the 2144 01:10:12,790 --> 01:10:12,000

are out of like the greensburg 2148 01:10:20,630 --> 01:10:19,040 office because like if you know anything 2149 01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:20,640 about pittsburgh 2150 01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:22,080 like i went to the main campus 2151 01:10:25,030 --> 01:10:23,520 university of pittsburgh within like the 2152 01:10:26,870 --> 01:10:25,040 greenberg 2153 01:10:29,430 --> 01:10:26,880 like the greensburg campus and there was 2154 01:10:29,990 --> 01:10:29,440 like two other campuses kind of not too 2155 01:10:31,430 --> 01:10:30,000 far away 2156 01:10:33,189 --> 01:10:31,440 they were like satellites and the same 2157 01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:33,199 thing operated two of the news stations 2158 01:10:35,590 --> 01:10:34,080 at the time 2159 01:10:37,270 --> 01:10:35,600 for pittsburgh post gazette they would 2160 01:10:39,990 --> 01:10:37,280 cover the different bureaus 2161 01:10:40,390 --> 01:10:40,000 so to speak um but you know the reporter 2162 01:10:41,590 --> 01:10:40,400 that 2163 01:10:44,070 --> 01:10:41,600 wound up on the scene if i'm not 2164 01:10:45,750 --> 01:10:44,080 mistaken like described you know 2165 01:10:47,510 --> 01:10:45,760 everyone said it was huge everyone said 2166 01:10:48,790 --> 01:10:47,520 it was large like you know i think maybe 2167 01:10:49,510 --> 01:10:48,800 in people's minds they think it was 2168 01:10:52,870 --> 01:10:49,520 maybe 10 2169 01:10:55,990 --> 01:10:52,880 12 15 16 feet tall this 2170 01:10:56,950 --> 01:10:56,000 craft he's you know he's there he 2171 01:10:58,630 --> 01:10:56,960 arrives and he's 2172 01:11:00,310 --> 01:10:58,640 you know i forget his name i forget the 2173 01:11:00,630 --> 01:11:00,320 reporter's name at the time but he said 2174 01:11:02,630 --> 01:11:00,640 he 2175 01:11:04,310 --> 01:11:02,640 saw it and it was being taken away in a 2176 01:11:05,510 --> 01:11:04,320 flatbed truck and he said it wasn't that 2177 01:11:07,350 --> 01:11:05,520 large that it was 2178 01:11:09,510 --> 01:11:07,360 to him it looked like i think he 2179 01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:09,520 described as like two suitcases 2180 01:11:15,590 --> 01:11:12,560 the size of like two small suitcases 2181 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:15,600 um so you have this discrepancy in sizes 2182 01:11:18,790 --> 01:11:16,800 from people who thought they saw 2183 01:11:22,310 --> 01:11:18,800 something bigger and you know 2184 01:11:24,870 --> 01:11:22,320 um so yeah it is it's 2185 01:11:26,070 --> 01:11:24,880 it's fascinating go pennsylvania yeah 2186 01:11:28,229 --> 01:11:26,080 absolutely 2187 01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:28,239 um and i mean look this is one of the 2188 01:11:32,149 --> 01:11:29,280 only cases 2189 01:11:34,149 --> 01:11:32,159 where we can turn and say uh the 2190 01:11:35,350 --> 01:11:34,159 government got sued or at least a 2191 01:11:37,990 --> 01:11:35,360 government-funded 2192 01:11:39,189 --> 01:11:38,000 nasa got sued like we mentioned leslie 2193 01:11:41,270 -->

on kecksburg 2197 01:11:47,669 --> 01:11:46,080 this case 2198 01:11:49,110 --> 01:11:47,679 and they agreed to search for the 2199 01:11:50,630 --> 01:11:49,120 records and 2200 01:11:53,189 --> 01:11:50,640 you know after being ordered by the 2201 01:11:55,270 --> 01:11:53,199 court to do so and during the hearing 2202 01:11:57,270 --> 01:11:55,280 i remember reading about this um nasa's 2203 01:12:00,310 --> 01:11:57,280 public liaison officer 2204 01:12:02,070 --> 01:12:00,320 testified that two boxes of papers 2205 01:12:03,350 --> 01:12:02,080 from the time of the kecksburg incident 2206 01:12:05,590 --> 01:12:03,360 were missing 2207 01:12:06,470 --> 01:12:05,600 and um you know the loss of records 2208 01:12:09,750 --> 01:12:06,480 isn't 2209 01:12:11,270 --> 01:12:09,760 unheard of for nasa but um even the 2210 01:12:13,669 --> 01:12:11,280 original tapes recorded during the 2211 01:12:15,350 --> 01:12:13,679 televised apollo 11 moon landing 2212 01:12:17,350 --> 01:12:15,360 were misplaced or reused so there's 2213 01:12:19,270 --> 01:12:17,360 another conspiracy right there 2214 01:12:21,990 --> 01:12:19,280 right and but um yeah we only have the 2215 01:12:23,590 --> 01:12:22,000 rec we only have the recording of the tv 2216 01:12:25,350 --> 01:12:23,600 of the landings we don't even have the 2217 01:12:28,070 --> 01:12:25,360 actual recording how does that happen 2218 01:12:29,590 --> 01:12:28,080 how does that happen yeah someone gets 2219 01:12:31,350 --> 01:12:29,600 stanley kubrick on the uh 2220 01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:31,360 the ouija board and let's figure this 2221 01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:33,360 out 2222 01:12:37,350 --> 01:12:34,960 that's a little morbid i shouldn't have 2223 01:12:40,550 --> 01:12:37,360 said that but

01:12:50,560 are there any other cases clayton that 2230 01:12:54,229 --> 01:12:52,000 you really turn to 2231 01:12:55,910 --> 01:12:54,239 like that you would hang your hat on and 2232 01:12:57,590 --> 01:12:55,920 say this is proof or 2233 01:12:59,709 --> 01:12:57,600 maybe not proof but this is enough 2234 01:13:01,110 --> 01:12:59,719 evidence to say we've been visited by 2235 01:13:03,669

01:15:38,229 --> 01:15:37,040 tidbits and and dispatches that come out 2313 01:15:40,950 --> 01:15:38,239 of antarctica 2314 01:15:41,669 --> 01:15:40,960 but underground bases and giant chasms 2315 01:15:47,350 --> 01:15:41,679 and 2316 01:15:48,470 --> 01:15:47,360 fact that we have this sort of 2317 01:15:50,470 --> 01:15:48,480 the way that the government has 2318 01:15:52,070 --> 01:15:50,480 structured antarctica the world 2319 01:15:54,709 --> 01:15:52,080 governments have structured it to me 2320 01:15:55,910 --> 01:15:54,719 is is is telling in and of itself so to 2321

01:16:02,950 --> 01:16:00,480 all point to 2325 01:16:04,310 --> 01:16:02,960 because it's so remote but boy i'm just 2326 01:16:06,870 --> 01:16:04,320 fascinated by that 2327 01:16:07,910 -->

2343 01:16:36,630 --> 01:16:35,520 lot of them aren't but there is 2344 01:16:38,870 --> 01:16:36,640 definitely 2345 01:16:40,550 --> 01:16:38,880 something to that place and like you 2346

01:19:53,750 --> 01:19:52,159 comes from the family yeah it comes from 2444 01:19:54,390 --> 01:19:53,760 it comes from the gleason family right i 2445 01:19:57,590 --> 01:19:54,400 mean 2446 01:19:59,669 --> 01:19:57,600 so and it's confirmed with the 2447 01:20:01,669 --> 01:19:59,679 time and date stamps when nixon was in 2448 01:20:02,950 --> 01:20:01,679 florida taking him to see whatever he 2449 01:20:06,550 --> 01:20:02,960 saw which was 2450 01:20:09,669 --> 01:20:06,560 arguably what down ufo wreckage etc um 2451 01:20:12,950 --> 01:20:09,679 aliens on ice i i don't know but 2452 01:20:16,550 --> 01:20:12,960 who knows i'd pay to see that yeah yeah 2453 01:20:20,550 --> 01:20:16,560 yeah for sure um so i think there are so 2454 01:20:22,709 --> 01:20:20,560 i i think it's true um if you read 2455 01:20:24,070 --> 01:20:22,719 forget if it's in philip corso's books 2456 01:20:25,669 --> 01:20:24,080 or um others 2457 01:20:27,189 --> 01:20:25,679 you know this sort of idea of the need 2458 01:20:29,590 --> 01:20:27,199 to know basis 2459 01:20:30,550 --> 01:20:29,600 right and i think it's compellingly true 2460 01:20:31,990 --> 01:20:30,560 i mean if you think 2461 01:20:34,070 --> 01:20:32,000 you think of like the nut job that we 2462 01:20:37,510 --> 01:20:34,080 have in the white house right now 2463 01:20:39,590 --> 01:20:37,520 who's there for eight

evidence to 2467 01:20:47,430 --> 01:20:44,639 suggest that there's this 2468 01:20:49,030 --> 01:20:47,440 secret internal body that sort of 2469 01:20:50,149 --> 01:20:49,040 protects those secrets

talk about it 2545 01:23:10,070 --> 01:23:08,560 obama gets uncomfortable being asked 2546 01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:10,080 about it on letterman 2547 01:23:14,709 --> 01:23:12,800 george w bush can't

know what it is 2551 01:23:21,350 --> 01:23:20,000 something's going on yeah and i think 2552 01:23:23,590 --> 01:23:21,360 it's obvious 2553 01:23:25,750 --> 01:23:23,600 i i would have to agree i mean we even 2554 01:23:27,590 --> 01:23:25,760 have clinton on the record saying 2555 01:23:29,590 --> 01:23:27,600 i looked into it i wanted to know what 2556 01:23:31,510 --> 01:23:29,600 was going on at area 51 2557 01:23:33,430 --> 01:23:31,520 i wanted to know a crash in roswell and 2558 01:23:34,790 --> 01:23:33,440 they flat out told and this was the day 2559 01:23:36,709 --> 01:23:34,800 of his inauguration 2560 01:23:37,830 --> 01:23:36,719 or like maybe the day after is when he 2561 01:23:40,310 --> 01:23:37,840 asked these things 2562 01:23:42,390 --> 01:23:40,320 because he said like this was one of my 2563 01:23:44,470 --> 01:23:42,400 goals as president i wanted to know what 2564 01:23:46,550 --> 01:23:44,480 the hell was up with these ufos 2565 01:23:48,070 --> 01:23:46,560 and he was told flat out like you said 2566 01:23:49,830 --> 01:23:48,080 you don't have a need to know for that 2567 01:23:52,629 --> 01:23:49,840 information so i think you're right 2568 01:23:54,550 --> 01:23:52,639 you know i i i was curious if the topic 2569 01:23:56,550 --> 01:23:54,560 would come up in the last debate but 2570 01:23:58,470 --> 01:23:56,560 look we we do have a lot more immediate 2571 01:24:01,510 --> 01:23:58,480 things that i think should be discussed 2572 01:24:02,950 --> 01:24:01,520 at a debate but i i do wonder if we are 2573 01:24:04,950 --> 01:24:02,960 going to get any more debates here in 2574 01:24:06,790 --> 01:24:04,960 america before the election um 2575 01:24:08,229 --> 01:24:06,800 will this topic come up what do you 2576 01:24:11,669 --> 01:24:08,239 think uh 2577 01:24:14,950 --> 01:24:11,679 no and i would i absolutely not 2578 01:24:16,550 --> 01:24:14,960 i would love it to come up it's not i 2579 01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:16,560 do you realize during the last debate 2580 01:24:22,229 --> 01:24:19,760 they in 90 minutes 2581 01:24:22,870 --> 01:24:22,239 there was no discussion of the stimulus 2582 01:24:25,590 --> 01:24:22,880 yeah 2583 01:24:27,030 --> 01:24:25,600 it was absolutely atrocious i mean on 2584 01:24:29,990 --> 01:24:27,040 both the how 2585 01:24:30,229 --> 01:24:30,000 how the hell in a 90-minute debate the 2586 01:24:34,070 --> 01:24:30,239 pr 2587 01:24:36,470 --> 01:24:34,080 but we had just gotten the news that 2588 01:24:38,629 --> 01:24:36,480 president trump ended negotiations 2589 01:24:40,149 --> 01:24:38,639 said i'm done yeah which was like you 2590 01:24:41,350 --> 01:24:40,159 know political malpractice you had 2591 01:24:43,189 --> 01:24:41,360 republicans like going

eventually he 2595 01:24:50,070 --> 01:24:49,199 just basically took credit for a lack of 2596 01:24:51,350 --> 01:24:50,080 stimulus 2597 01:24:54,229 --> 01:24:51,360 that didn't even come up in the 90 2598 01:24:55,990 --> 01:24:54,239 minute vice or 60 70 minute vice 2599 01:24:57,990 --> 01:24:56,000 presidential debate 2600 01:25:00,470 --> 01:24:58,000 there's no way that they're going to 2601 01:25:02,950 --> 01:25:00,480 bring up ufos i mean i would be stunned 2602 01:25:04,310 --> 01:25:02,960 i would i will be i will literally eat a 2603 01:25:06,070 --> 01:25:04,320 house plant

pick the house plant too it could be a 2607 01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:10,239 cactus i don't care 2608 01:25:14,390 --> 01:25:12,400 i would be stunned i just cannot see it 2609 01:25:17,350 --> 01:25:14,400 coming up the third and final debate 2610 01:25:19,030 --> 01:25:17,360 is the foreign policy debate which to me 2611 01:25:20,470 --> 01:25:19,040 is usually the most interesting debate 2612 01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:20,480 but it's also the least at least 2613 01:25:25,110 --> 01:25:23,760 watched debate so um you know that's 2614 01:25:27,669 --> 01:25:25,120 when you get the really interesting 2615 01:25:28,629 --> 01:25:27,679 things like mitt romney's like a binder 2616 01:25:31,430 --> 01:25:28,639 full of women 2617 01:25:32,550 --> 01:25:31,440 comments and you know all you get really 2618 01:25:35,189 --> 01:25:32,560 interesting things that 2619 01:25:36,550 --> 01:25:35,199 emerge during that third debate but now 2620 01:25:37,590 --> 01:25:36,560 that the second debate looks like it's 2621 01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:37,600 not going to happen 2622 01:25:41,910 --> 01:25:39,600 um i don't know the third debate will 2623 01:25:42,709 --> 01:25:41,920 and trump i think it's a shame for the 2624 01:25:44,149 --> 01:25:42,719 american people 2625 01:25:45,990 --> 01:25:44,159 um i would love for those types of 2626 01:25:48,070 --> 01:25:46,000 questions to be asked but they're always 2627 01:25:50,470 --> 01:25:48,080 asked like as a sidebar thing 2628 01:25:52,950 --> 01:25:50,480 yeah the last the last comment question 2629 01:25:56,550 --> 01:25:52,960 we had on this subject was lou dobbs 2630 01:25:59,110 --> 01:25:56,560 asking president trump a few weeks ago 2631 01:26:01,350 --> 01:25:59,120 about this and he asked it as a 2632 01:26:04,229 --> 01:26:01,360 last-minute joke at the end of his 2633 01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:04,239 show and he said uh you know president 2634 01:26:10,149 --> 01:26:06,719 trump i just got to ask you about 2635

follow-up 2655 01:26:45,990 --> 01:26:45,360 and that's it and they move on and then 2656 01:26:47,990 --> 01:26:46,000 we're done 2657 01:26:50,149 --> 01:26:48,000 it's so frustrating welcome to my life 2658 01:26:53,270 --> 01:26:50,159 man i mean no follow-up 2659 01:26:54,470 --> 01:26:53,280 no follow-up is probably the mantra of 2660 01:26:57,270 --> 01:26:54,480 this entire thing 2661 01:26:58,709 --> 01:26:57,280 and um and like you said like you know 2662 01:27:00,390 --> 01:26:58,719 the last time it was mentioned in a 2663 01:27:03,510 --> 01:27:00,400 debate was i believe with 2664 01:27:06,149 --> 01:27:03,520 kucinich and it was political suicide so 2665 01:27:07,750 --> 01:27:06,159 i understand why maybe it's not 2666 01:27:08,629 --> 01:27:07,760 something they want to broach but i do 2667 01:27:11,750 --> 01:27:08,639 wonder 2668 01:27:13,590 --> 01:27:11,760 you know in these last few weeks as 2669 01:27:16,950 --> 01:27:13,600 things just continue to heat up 2670 01:27:21,110 --> 01:27:16,960 and desperation sets in if 2671 01:27:24,310 --> 01:27:21,120 uh let's say the election goes 2672 01:27:27,110 --> 01:27:24,320 um not in trump's favor or do his favor 2673 01:27:29,270 --> 01:27:27,120 and he loses um will he have some sort 2674 01:27:31,189 --> 01:27:29,280 of mic drop a lot of people 2675 01:27:32,470 --> 01:27:31,199 think you know he's very unpredictable 2676 01:27:35,590 --> 01:27:32,480 and he shoots from the hip 2677 01:27:38,390 --> 01:27:35,600 and he says what he wants um will we get 2678 01:27:39,910 --> 01:27:38,400 something i don't know but um i i would 2679 01:27:41,189 --> 01:27:39,920 think we would have gotten it by now in 2680 01:27:43,590 --> 01:27:41,199 my personal opinion 2681 01:27:45,430 --> 01:27:43,600 yeah i think he's i don't know it's to 2682 01:27:47,669 --> 01:27:45,440 me it's strange because 2683 01:27:49,270 --> 01:27:47,679 trump of all people i thought would have 2684 01:27:50,870 --> 01:27:49,280 been able to pull the wool back on this 2685 01:27:53,990 --> 01:27:50,880 story we all did 2686 01:27:56,149 --> 01:27:54,000 yeah he might have let something slip 2687 01:27:58,830 --> 01:27:56,159 because think about it if he is kept 2688 01:28:02,390 --> 01:27:58,840 from knowing something 2689 01:28:04,390 --> 01:28:02,400 he will probably push to be told 2690 01:28:06,390 --> 01:28:04,400 about it right i'm the president of the 2691 01:28:07,510 --> 01:28:06,400 united states there's no you you've got 2692 01:28:10,229 --> 01:28:07,520 to tell me 2693 01:28:11,590 --> 01:28:10,239 right so that to me would be shocking 2694 01:28:14,790 --> 01:28:11,600 and then on the other side 2695 01:28:18,070 --> 01:28:14,800 if he's if he feels like some duty 2696 01:28:18,790 --> 01:28:18,080 somehow i just feel like he his ego is 2697 01:28:21,430 --> 01:28:18,800 too strong 2698 01:28:22,709 --> 01:28:21,440 for him to not you know not bring it up 2699 01:28:25,430 --> 01:28:22,719 not talk about it 2700 01:28:26,870 --> 01:28:25,440 um not let us know that he knows he 2701 01:28:29,350 --> 01:28:26,880 reminds me of a high school 2702 01:28:30,950 --> 01:28:29,360 all right sorry he reminds me of my 2703 01:28:34,550 --> 01:28:30,960 college roommate 2704 01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:34,560 who he had no life of his own and he was 2705 01:28:38,790 --> 01:28:37,760 he was so petty and and so if i were to 2706 01:28:41,030 --> 01:28:38,800 go out with a girl or 2707 01:28:41,990 --> 01:28:41,040 you know whatever he'd he'd be like oh 2708 01:28:45,030 --> 01:28:42,000 where were you 2709 01:28:47,110 --> 01:28:45,040 yesterday you know and i would tell him 2710 01:28:48,629 --> 01:28:47,120 in confidence and then i'd go to like 2711 01:28:50,470 --> 01:28:48,639 lunch and there's like six other guys 2712 01:28:51,990 --> 01:28:50,480 sitting around he was like well clayton 2713 01:28:54,550 --> 01:28:52,000 you know until where clayton was 2714 01:28:55,430 --> 01:28:54,560 yesterday like you told these people 2715 01:28:57,910 --> 01:28:55,440 like 2716 01:28:59,750 --> 01:28:57,920 because it lifted him up in their eyes 2717 01:29:00,790 --> 01:28:59,760 so like oh yeah dave's they are this i 2718 01:29:04,229 --> 01:29:00,800 don't say names but 2719 01:29:05,590 --> 01:29:04,239 this guy's the gossip guy you know he 2720 01:29:06,870 --> 01:29:05,600 he's always going to give us the goods 2721 01:29:08,229 --> 01:29:06,880 and the only reason we're sitting at 2722 01:29:09,590 --> 01:29:08,239 this table with him is because he just 2723 01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:09,600 likes to gossip and 2724 01:29:12,950 --> 01:29:11,440 tell tales about other people and i feel 2725 01:29:15,430 --> 01:29:12,960 like in some ways that's trump 2726 01:29:16,629 --> 01:29:15,440 you know like like he's got the goods 2727 01:29:18,629 --> 01:29:16,639 and he's going to just want to sh 2728 01:29:20,629 --> 01:29:18,639 and and so i just can't imagine why he 2729 01:29:23,189 --> 01:29:20,639 would be quiet on this subject 2730 01:29:24,629 --> 01:29:23,199 it's it really is mind-boggling to me i 2731 01:29:27,270 --> 01:29:24,639 can't wrap my head around it 2732 01:29:28,229 --> 01:29:27,280 yeah it is it is and it will probably 2733 01:29:30,550 --> 01:29:28,239 remain 2734 01:29:32,790 --> 01:29:30,560 an enigma and mind-boggling to all of us 2735 01:29:36,390 --> 01:29:32,800 uh as these remaining weeks 2736 01:29:37,990 --> 01:29:36,400 in america become extremely tumultuous 2737 01:29:39,590 --> 01:29:38,000 as they've already been but 2738 01:29:41,270 --> 01:29:39,600 kind of moving away from that clayton 2739 01:29:43,990 --> 01:29:41,280 you know we got a little heavy 2740 01:29:45,590

01:36:20,159 eye-opening and helpful and healing too 2942 01:36:22,070 --> 01:36:21,440 you know that's i think the purpose of 2943 01:36:24,070 --> 01:36:22,080 it right it's 2944 01:36:25,350 --> 01:36:24,080 it's not to be scared of this stuff so 2945 01:36:27,430 --> 01:36:25,360 absolutely yeah 2946 01:36:28,950 --> 01:36:27,440 and i mean well let me you know before 2947 01:36:32,310 -->

you know i think 2957 01:36:51,590 --> 01:36:49,600 i i think in many ways if i've i've been 2958 01:36:53,750 --> 01:36:51,600 able to cross paths with some 2959 01:36:55,270 --> 01:36:53,760 really impressive you know high-level 2960 01:36:56,709 --> 01:36:55,280 psychic mediums 2961 01:36:59,030 --> 01:36:56,719 who i've been able to interview over the 2962 01:37:00,629 --> 01:36:59,040 years both at fox and out and elsewhere 2963 01:37:02,390 --> 01:37:00,639 those who are certified by you know 2964 01:37:03,030 --> 01:37:02,400 winbridge institute i think there's only 2965 01:37:05,030 --> 01:37:03,040 19 2966 01:37:06,390 --> 01:37:05,040 certified winbridge institute psychic 2967 01:37:08,870 --> 01:37:06,400 mediums in the world 2968 01:37:09,910 --> 01:37:08,880 so these are people that the fbi uses 2969 01:37:12,310 --> 01:37:09,920 regularly 2970 01:37:13,990 --> 01:37:12,320 to solve crimes like this is not i would 2971 01:37:15,830 --> 01:37:14,000 literally be on the phone with one of 2972 01:37:17,510 --> 01:37:15,840 them who's a close friend and 2973 01:37:19,430 --> 01:37:17,520 she couldn't she's like i have to go the 2974 01:37:21,510 --> 01:37:19,440 fbi needs me for this cold case 2975 01:37:22,470 --> 01:37:21,520 on this or this missing child like 2976 01:37:24,470 --> 01:37:22,480 that's literally 2977 01:37:25,590 --> 01:37:24,480 and they don't talk about it but they 2978 01:37:29,270 --> 01:37:25,600 use them all the time 2979 01:37:30,790 --> 01:37:29,280 um so i think you know it can be very 2980 01:37:32,870 --> 01:37:30,800 debilitating for some of them 2981 01:37:34,709 --> 01:37:32,880 because as laura lynn jackson writes 2982 01:37:35,750 --> 01:37:34,719 about in her book the light between us 2983 01:37:37,910 --> 01:37:35,760 you know it 2984 01:37:39,189 --> 01:37:37,920 that that energy that you're giving away 2985 01:37:42,470 --> 01:37:39,199 to other people 2986 01:37:44,149 --> 01:37:42,480 can cause autoimmune diseases and you're 2987 01:37:46,149 --> 01:37:44,159 basically allowing other people to 2988 01:37:47,750 --> 01:37:46,159 invade your energy on a regular basis so 2989 01:37:47,990 --> 01:37:47,760 that's i think the biggest concern and 2990 01:37:50,470 --> 01:37:48,000 you 2991 01:37:52,870 --> 01:37:50,480 really have to like build that my sister 2992 01:37:55,990 --> 01:37:52,880 had to learn how to protect herself 2993 01:37:58,550 --> 01:37:56,000 um because she would be at a stoplight 2994 01:37:59,430 --> 01:37:58,560 near she wouldn't know that the house on 2995 01:38:01,270 --> 01:37:59,440 the corner was 2996 01:38:02,709 --> 01:38:01,280 haunted and that there was some really 2997 01:38:04,310 --> 01:38:02,719 horrible event that had happened there 2998 01:38:04,870 --> 01:38:04,320 and she just would be overwhelmed to the 2999 01:38:07,350 --> 01:38:04,880 point of 3000 01:38:08,950 --> 01:38:07,360 bawling her eyes out and she had to 3001 01:38:10,149 --> 01:38:08,960 learn how to really protect herself from 3002 01:38:11,669 --> 01:38:10,159 it and then later she'd learned that 3003 01:38:12,550 --> 01:38:11,679 there was like a triple homicide in the 3004 01:38:13,990 --> 01:38:12,560 house you know 3005 01:38:15,669 --> 01:38:14,000 so these things would present themselves 3006 01:38:17,510 --> 01:38:15,679 to her so um 3007 01:38:19,669 --> 01:38:17,520 i think sometimes obviously it can be 3008 01:38:20,550 --> 01:38:19,679 helpful it can help you navigate your 3009 01:38:23,510 --> 01:38:20,560 world 3010 01:38:24,870 --> 01:38:23,520 um but it can also you can allow too 3011 01:38:26,550 --> 01:38:24,880 much of your energy 3012 01:38:28,470 --> 01:38:26,560 to get you can give too much of yourself 3013 01:38:30,229 --> 01:38:28,480 away and so for i think for somebody 3014 01:38:33,990 --> 01:38:30,239 like that who's a very 3015 01:38:35,270 --> 01:38:34,000 sensitive person an empath a very high 3016 01:38:39,030 --> 01:38:35,280 level sensitive 3017 01:38:41,350 --> 01:38:39,040 person you can experience autoimmune 3018 01:38:42,149 --> 01:38:41,360 diseases for giving their energies away 3019 01:38:43,430 --> 01:38:42,159 and so 3020 01:38:45,590 --> 01:38:43,440 i think there's a level of protection 3021 01:38:46,709 --> 01:38:45,600 that needs to happen there so i i don't 3022 01:38:50,070 --> 01:38:46,719 know enough about it 3023 01:38:51,830 --> 01:38:50,080 um uh to go into it i'm i've been 3024 01:38:53,750 --> 01:38:51,840 found out that i'm an empath like that 3025 01:38:56,070 --> 01:38:53,760 that's one of my areas of 3026 01:38:57,430 --> 01:38:56,080 feeling like i feel people's energy we 3027 01:38:59,109 --> 01:38:57,440 all have one of these 3028 01:39:00,629 --> 01:38:59,119 in our life one of these sort of five 3029 01:39:02,629 --> 01:39:00,639 energies 3030 01:39:04,149 --> 01:39:02,639 and that's where mine sits so i can walk 3031 01:39:06,310 --> 01:39:04,159 into a starbucks and i can literally 3032 01:39:08,229 --> 01:39:06,320 feel the energy of everyone in that room 3033 01:39:09,430 --> 01:39:08,239 and i can feel that that person is mad 3034 01:39:11,669 --> 01:39:09,440 over there and i can 3035 01:39:13,189 --> 01:39:11,679 you can just sense energies and so i 3036 01:39:14,229 --> 01:39:13,199 think that's in many ways why i'm a bit 3037 01:39:15,590 --> 01:39:14,239 of an introvert 3038 01:39:17,669 --> 01:39:15,600 because to go out in large group 3039 01:39:19,750 --> 01:39:17,679 settings i end up feeling all of these 3040 01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:19,760 energies at one time and it can be um 3041 01:39:24,390 --> 01:39:21,760 it can be overwhelming i think to people 3042 01:39:27,270 --> 01:39:24,400 yeah i i think i'm kind of on the 3043 01:39:29,030 --> 01:39:27,280 the same frequency as you man i i'm the 3044 01:39:30,950 --> 01:39:29,040 same way i'm an introvert and 3045 01:39:33,030 --> 01:39:30,960 i don't do well in large crowds because 3046 01:39:35,109 --> 01:39:33,040 i am overwhelmed by the energy 3047 01:39:36,310 --> 01:39:35,119 so i'm with you on that i think there's 3048 01:39:38,950 --> 01:39:36,320 a reason we're uh 3049 01:39:41,030 --> 01:39:38,960 talking for almost an hour and a half 3050 01:39:41,830 --> 01:39:41,040 longer than i told you we would talk 3051 01:39:43,830 --> 01:39:41,840 today 3052 01:39:45,430 --> 01:39:43,840 i think that's true and don't apologize 3053 01:39:47,030 --> 01:39:45,440 like i really feel like i 3054 01:39:48,310 --> 01:39:47,040 the reason i'm able to have like an hour 3055 01:39:49,109 --> 01:39:48,320 and a half long conversation with 3056 01:39:51,030 --> 01:39:49,119 someone almost 3057 01:39:52,870 --> 01:39:51,040 always it's because that person is an 3058 01:39:56,550 --> 01:39:52,880 empath and 3059 01:39:59,109 --> 01:39:56,560 it's because we are introverts and we 3060 01:40:00,550 --> 01:39:59,119 we experience those energies and it 3061 01:40:02,390 --> 01:40:00,560 affects us in a deep way 3062 01:40:03,830 --> 01:40:02,400 you know i see your tweets i mean i see 3063 01:40:05,910 --> 01:40:03,840 how passionate you know like 3064 01:40:07,990 --> 01:40:05,920 you know you know i get it and i'm the 3065 01:40:10,229 --> 01:40:08,000 same way and it's it's hard and we feel 3066 01:40:11,830 --> 01:40:10,239 things more we feel things harder i 3067 01:40:14,149 --> 01:40:11,840 think than other people do 3068 01:40:15,350 --> 01:40:14,159 um and but then we lack certain other 3069 01:40:17,750 --> 01:40:15,360 skills you know 3070 01:40:19,750 --> 01:40:17,760 um so that you know it's just it's just 3071 01:40:21,830 --> 01:40:19,760 our way of feeling energy i think 3072 01:40:23,510 --> 01:40:21,840 i think so and i'm sure there are many 3073 01:40:26,550 --> 01:40:23,520 listeners who feel the same way 3074 01:40:28,470 --> 01:40:26,560 so uh you know take it for what it is 3075 01:40:30,229 --> 01:40:28,480 and run with it and know everyone's a 3076 01:40:33,350 --> 01:40:30,239 little different and um 3077 01:40:35,990 --> 01:40:33,360 and everyone has their own baggage to 3078 01:40:37,910 --> 01:40:36,000 bring to everything in this life so uh 3079 01:40:39,990 --> 01:40:37,920 i think the more empathy and understand 3080 01:40:41,590 --> 01:40:40,000 we have the the better the world's gonna 3081 01:40:43,030 --> 01:40:41,600 get and hopefully 3082 01:40:44,950 --> 01:40:43,040 that will get us that place at the 3083 01:40:45,830 --> 01:40:44,960 intergalactic
