and we're going to get to the really

9
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,439
interesting thing that happened

00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,200
within the last week we've got a

11
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:25,280
specific individual

12
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:28,799
name to oversee the pentagon

13
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,920
ufo as we as i like to call them here or

14
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,000
uap task force so we're going to get

15
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,000
into some detail on all that

16
00:01:39,429 --> 00:01:38,720
but first let's go back in time a little

17
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:39,439
bit

18
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:41,920
and take a look at the most recent

19
00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:42,720
comments

20
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:45,439
of the president of the united states uh

21
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:46,000
he was

22
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:48,799
on uh the fox business channel with lou

23
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,680
dobbs uh

24
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:52,079
about i guess about that ten days ago

25
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:53,600
now let's listen in

26
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:56,719
on his comments and uh

27
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:59,680
provide a little bit of analysis after

28
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,079
we

29
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,040
give this the minute and a half uh where

30
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:05,040
he was asked by lou dobbs

31
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:08,239
about ufos

32
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:11,440
let's go to that now

33
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:14,640
and uh you are your administration you

34
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:15,599
promised would be

35
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,959
uh transparent and you have done your

36
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:20,560
level best to do that

37
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:24,160
uh despite the the deep state's efforts

38
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:24,800
to

39
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,959
bury everything about as deeply as they

40
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,400
could uh

41
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,400
but i've got one question as we conclude

42
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:32,319
here uh because uh

43
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:36,080
i uh actually a lot of my friends are

44
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,000
very concerned about

45
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:40,239
what the federal government is doing

46
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:41,360
when it comes to

47
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:44,560
ufos so if i could just ask you are we

48
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:45,519
going to commit

49
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:49,360
to to exploring a

50
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:52,400
ufos and open the documents to the

51
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:53,599
public

52
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,519
well i think you're the probably in this

53
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:57,280
country you're the ufo

54
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,920
expert so i'm going to be totally guided

55
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:01,599
by the great

56
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:04,640
you that

57
00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:08,000
uh i'll do whatever you uh asked me to

58
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:08,319
do

59
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:11,440
including total transparency and i gotta

60
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,200
tell you this probably some pretty good

61
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:15,040
transparency needed there there's no

62
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:18,000
doubt about that

63
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:19,680
well mr president i i couldn't have

64
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:21,840
asked for a better answer thank you

65
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:24,879
thank you so much and i'll be calling uh

66
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:27,440
your office soon to uh to get that uh

67
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,480
underway

68
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:30,480
uh it's been great talking with you sir

69
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,799
and we appreciate your time mr president

70
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:34,720
uh great to have you with us it's my

71
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:35,920
great honor

72
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:39,040
you've done a fantastic job well there

73
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:41,120
you go hopefully dobbs does follow up

74
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:41,760
and says

75
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:44,159
dump it all that's that's what we really

76
00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:45,280
want to see here

77
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:47,519
but again as always uh trump pretty

78
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:49,680
consistent when he is asked about it

79
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:52,879
sort of uh light-hearted not really not

80
00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:53,280
really

81
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,519
ripping the the ufo subject or anything

82
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:57,120
along those lines but

83
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,480
uh doesn't express deep concern about it

84
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,400
mentioned obviously something that we

85
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:03,760
like we should have some

86
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:06,319
greater transparency on the subject

87
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:07,040
certainly

88
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:08,799
i agree with him on that issue and i

89
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,959
think most of you ufo nuts out there

90
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:12,159
like myself

91
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:13,920
feel the same way we do want to know

92
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:16,000
more about what's going on with all this

93
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,560
uh and again uh pretty light-hearted

94
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:20,479
about it joked around a little bit

95
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:23,040
said that uh dobbs is the guy he's going

96
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:24,000
to listen to

97
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,600
i kind of doubt that i think he was just

98
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:27,280
joking around a little bit

99
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,919
obviously but that so that was his

100
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,680
comment there again pretty consistent

101
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,280
with what he's been saying usually keeps

102
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:35,520
it kind of light about the ufo subject

103
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:38,080
without really denigrating it in any way

104
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:39,040
shape or form

105
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:41,280
so we kind of like that we don't know

106
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:43,280
exactly what's going to happen

107
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,000
over the next few months but we did have

108
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:48,720
a very significant development to happen

109
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:50,800
this past week and i want to go into

110
00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:58,390
this week the pentagon announced that uh

111
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,479
deputy secretary of defense david

112
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:02,720
norquist will help oversee the

113
00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,160
uh ufo task force now uh

114
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,560
this is not really a new task force as

115
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:10,560
it was already mentioned in the

116
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:13,759
senate intelligence committee's request

117
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:14,080
for

118
00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:17,680
apparently uh norquist

119
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,919
is the way i'm reading all this norquist

120
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:21,840
is uh just being named to kind of

121
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:24,240
oversee this task force that's already

122
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,199
in existence

123
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:27,520
so it's expected to be officially

124
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,600
unveiled in the next few days so that

125
00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:32,000
that might come about this week we might

126
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,199
get some more details

127
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:35,600
in terms of what's actually going on but

128
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:36,320
uh

129
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:41,039
to look into what the pentagon dubs

130
00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:42,960
unidentified aerial phenomenon

131
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:46,240
were led by the u.s navy as many of the

132
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:46,880
document

133
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:49,919
aircraft

134
00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:51,680
and then the next day there was a an

135
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,919
official immediate release

136
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,520
from the department of the defense

137
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:57,600
department uh establishment

138
00:06:00,629 --> 00:06:00,080
of unidentified aerial phenomena task

139
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,639
force

140
00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:03,120
again this is something that we know was

141
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:05,199
already pre-existing

142
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:08,160
but apparently norquist is being sort of

143
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:09,759
added to the team to sort of

144
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,880
uh oversee this and

145
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:14,560
let's go to this let's take a closer

146
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,360
look at david l norquist he is the

147
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:19,520
united states deputy secretary of

148
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:21,360
defense and he has an exceptionally

149
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:22,639
interesting background

150
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:25,759
now uh one

151
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,840
a little uh sort of a family connection

152
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:29,759
for this guy is he is the brother of

153
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:31,120
grover norquist

154
00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:33,680
who is uh in conservative political

155
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:35,039
circles here in the state

156
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:38,319
a reasonably famous guy very much uh uh

157
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:41,360
anti-tax uh keep government spending

158
00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:42,000
down

159
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:44,479
uh very much a sort of a budget hawk

160
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:45,280
politically

161
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:48,160
uh has never seemed to be uh from the

162
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:49,919
conservative side of things

163
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:53,440
uh involving uh really supporting

164
00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:56,400
any kind of social conservatism uh which

165
00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:57,520
is uh

166
00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:00,479
sort of another wing of a conservative

167
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:02,080
thought here in the states so

168
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,919
uh sort of like uh the the religious

169
00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:05,520
right those types of folks

170
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,720
he seems uh more at least uh

171
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:10,800
grover does the brother does uh much

172
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:11,759
more interested

173
00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:13,759
in the sort of the nuts and bolts the

174
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,039
spending uh the

175
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:17,280
the waste that sort of thing uh very

176
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,479
much against that

177
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,639
and uh david norquist seems to be cut

178
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:22,000
from the same cloth too

179
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:25,039
the reason why i think that is uh worth

180
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:25,840
mentioning

181
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,400
is that we have heard talk about this

182
00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,720
collins elite segment within the defense

183
00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:32,479
department within the pentagon

184
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:35,280
uh very much uh right-wing religious

185
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:36,080
types who

186
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,440
uh have looked at the ufo phenomenon as

187
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,199
a demonic in nature

188
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:43,440
and uh have given at least the uh the

189
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:44,720
the fellow who

190
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:48,560
uh preceded uh lou elizondo on his job

191
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:49,120
kind of a

192
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:52,800
a rough ride out uh uh regarding uh

193
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,039
his interest in the skinwalker ranch and

194
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,360
so on so that doesn't seem to be playing

195
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:59,039
into any of this this seems like a

196
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:00,879
pretty straightforward

197
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,360
as straightforward as politics and

198
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:05,360
government can get but it seems like a

199
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,800
pretty straightforward

200
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,400
nuts and bolts uh let's take a look at

201
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,400
this issue so let's take a little bit of

202
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,479
a look at the resume of norquist

203
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,400
he was the chief financial officer at

204
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:16,479
the department of homeland security

205
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:19,919
uh from uh mid-2006 to the end of 08.

206
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,199
uh and that basically uh he had to uh

207
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,360
leave that job over there he was a you

208
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,440
know a republican guy so

209
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,520
when obama came in there he was out over

210
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:31,360
there at the homeland security

211
00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:33,839
i went back into the private sector and

212
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:34,479
uh

213
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:42,240
secretary of defense were the

214
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,120
comptroller

215
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:45,519
uh as under secretary of defense chief

216
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:46,800
financial officer

217
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:49,519
he oversaw dod's first ever

218
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:52,560
department-wide audit of 2.7 trillion in

219
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,120
assets discovered the major flaws but no

220
00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:57,600
major cases of fraud or abuse

221
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:00,560
again very much uh kind of a money guy

222
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:03,040
an accountant basically by trade

223
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:04,720
not necessarily a problem with that i'll

224
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,880
get into that a little more detail about

225
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,399
that as we finish up here

226
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:10,399
and then norquist has pledged to shake

227
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:12,160
up defense budget and place high

228
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,120
priority

229
00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,600
on funding research and development of

230
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:17,519
cutting-edge technologies like

231
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:20,080
hypersonics and artificial intelligence

232
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,360
so

233
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:23,760
he's obviously uh not a scientist he's a

234
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:25,519
he's sort of an accountant but uh he

235
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:26,399
does see

236
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,720
uh benefits to uh hypersonic technology

237
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,480
and of course uh that's uh right up the

238
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,240
alley of the ufo stuff

239
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:36,399
and then of course with so much talk

240
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,440
about uh

241
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,839
unacknowledged special access programs

242
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:42,000
and how much money is uh being spent on

243
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:43,680
some of that stuff that uh

244
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:45,440
that might also be of some interest to

245
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:47,760
him so yeah he is an interesting guy

246
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:51,040
i have seen comments that are sort of

247
00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:52,720
denigrating this particular move yeah

248
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,800
he's just an accountant well

249
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,560
again i i don't think that's a

250
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:58,560
necessarily a big deal and i'll

251
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,440
explain why uh basically nobody's an

252
00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:03,120
expert in every field and

253
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,279
if you're you're the accountant uh you

254
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:07,120
know and you happen to be overlooking

255
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,680
this

256
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:09,600
uh then you know you can go out now you

257
00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,079
can uh get science guys uh when the

258
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:14,640
the under uh or the deputy secretary of

259
00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:15,519
defense uh

260
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,839
asked you as a scientist hey uh what

261
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:19,360
about this what about that well you know

262
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:20,720
you're going to give them an answer

263
00:10:25,269 --> 00:10:23,360
and conversely if more of a science

264
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:25,279
based guy is in the same position

265
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:27,760
and he needs some back up on the numbers

266
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,720
on the accounting

267
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:30,720
you know you go out now you get yourself

268
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:32,320
an accountant so i don't think

269
00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,640
that is necessarily a big deal and maybe

270
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:36,240
a good thing because he does

271
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:39,200
have these interests uh he is uh uh i

272
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,920
would think

273
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:41,839
it's safe to say he is a budget hawk and

274
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:43,040
he is interested in

275
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:46,720
hypersonics so he might well be a a very

276
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:47,760
good choice and

277
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:50,240
a very effective choice to oversee this

278
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:51,040
uap

279
00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:54,320
task force now really important

280
00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:57,120
uh question here is why why do they feel

281
00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:58,320
the need

282
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:01,680
to have somebody oversee this uh already

283
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:03,519
existing task force and now there could

284
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:04,640
be a few reasons

285
00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:06,800
uh one of them of course is somebody is

286
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:08,800
very very interested and that somebody

287
00:11:13,509 --> 00:11:10,160
wants this to happen

288
00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:13,519
uh before i get into more detail on that

289
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,120
i've seen some other comments made by

290
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:17,519
some name researchers in the field that

291
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,560
you don't know how government works well

292
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,959
that that is a gross over simplification

293
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,720
but uh one of the ways that

294
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:26,880
government absolutely does work is

295
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,000
because something

296
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:30,480
happens because somebody in government

297
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,200
wants it

298
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:33,279
so there are only so many choices this

299
00:11:36,949 --> 00:11:34,720
guy only has so many uh

300
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:36,959
so many bosses here basically he would

301
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:39,040
answer to the secretary of defense

302
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:40,720
and the president himself so there's

303
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,160
only two people above him

304
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:44,320
so you know who wants this does he want

305
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:46,000
it is he interested enough in all this

306
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:46,560
to say

307
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:48,560
hey i want to oversee this thing he took

308
00:11:51,430 --> 00:11:49,600
the initiative and said

309
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:51,440
i want a piece out of this well that

310
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,800
could certainly be the case

311
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:54,959
but if not only two people told him to

312
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:57,040
do it uh and uh one is the

313
00:12:01,030 --> 00:11:59,360
the secretary of defense uh mike esper

314
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:01,040
or the president of the united states

315
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:01,760
himself

316
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:04,240
donald trump uh another possibility

317
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:05,920
would of course be

318
00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:08,000
the initiative on all this is coming

319
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:09,279
from the navy

320
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:11,440
we're getting nothing from the air force

321
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,440
it could be somebody complained from the

322
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:15,040
bottom up somebody's saying

323
00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:16,880
look the air force is not helping us at

324
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:18,639
all they're dragging their feet

325
00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:21,600
these kind of things are uh historically

326
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:22,880
known that there are these

327
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:26,160
inner uh rivalries and difficulties and

328
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,959
uh lines drawn and uh stove pipes

329
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:30,320
developed where

330
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:32,160
between the branches they just don't

331
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,760
want to share information

332
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:35,519
it could be that somebody in the navy

333
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:37,360
who's looking at this and

334
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:38,639
feeling that they're not getting the

335
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:40,399
necessary cooperation from the air

336
00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,120
forces

337
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:43,279
going upstairs and saying hey you know

338
00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:44,480
we need some help on this

339
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:45,839
uh the air force isn't giving us

340
00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:48,079
anything that's certainly a possibility

341
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:48,560
too

342
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:51,519
so there are definitely a few

343
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:52,000
interesting

344
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,360
things in play in all this now uh

345
00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:57,120
a little bit more on norquist's

346
00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:58,480
background uh

347
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:01,600
this is from a uh testimony before

348
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:02,399
congress

349
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,440
looking to shape up budget sharp eye on

350
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:07,360
r d this is an older article

351
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:09,279
norquist storing his testimony before a

352
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:11,760
friendly senate armed services committee

353
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:14,000
likely to fast-track his nomination

354
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:15,760
reiterated the areas where the gap

355
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:18,000
between the u.s and rivals china and

356
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:18,560
russia

357
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:21,120
is most notable including hypersonics

358
00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:22,720
artificial intelligence

359
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,800
and cyber but there's a but one of the

360
00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:26,720
challenges that is facing the department

361
00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:28,639
even as we maintain readiness and the

362
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,560
right force structure size

363
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,399
is to ensure that we are investing in

364
00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:34,399
those cutting cutting-edge technologies

365
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:36,639
that not only are just advances to

366
00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,760
warfare

367
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,839
but may change dramatically the way

368
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:41,519
warfare is fought he said

369
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,680
so this is a guy who does seem to have

370
00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:45,279
some interest in this he may have jumped

371
00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:45,680
in

372
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:49,680
for sure

373
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:52,160
but uh he's a guy who does seem to have

374
00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:53,600
uh some on the record

375
00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:56,560
interest in subjects that this uh ufo

376
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:57,279
topic

377
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:00,639
uh does sort of uh have some overlap

378
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:02,720
with so there's all that okay

379
00:14:10,629 --> 00:14:09,110
one thing about norquist is that he is a

380
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:10,639
political appointee

381
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:13,760
and trump may not be in office uh come

382
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:16,880
january of 2021 he may get voted out

383
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:19,920
and if he does well uh then that means

384
00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:21,279
uh he goes

385
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:24,000
he's gone so whatever interest whatever

386
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:25,760
expertise he's developed

387
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,720
uh that goes with him and uh there's

388
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:30,240
going to be a new uh

389
00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:33,440
uh person in charge of this a new uh

390
00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:35,279
deputy secretary of defense who's going

391
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,480
to be appointed by

392
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,800
uh the the like the only person who

393
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:40,320
really has a chance of beating trump and

394
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:41,760
that's of course joe biden

395
00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:44,320
uh one little bit of a political news in

396
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:45,120
the last week

397
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,480
he did uh nominate uh uh paula or

398
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,880
kamala harris i'm sorry i wasn't balaris

399
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:52,560
uh kamala harris has his

400
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:55,120
vice presidential nominee uh one

401
00:14:59,750 --> 00:14:57,120
interesting little thing about uh

402
00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:59,760
harris who's the senator from california

403
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,760
is she is a member of the

404
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:03,839
senate select committee on intelligence

405
00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:05,920
so obviously that the request for a

406
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:07,279
report signed off on

407
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:10,720
by rubio and likely also a catalyst

408
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:12,560
behind that uh senator mark warner from

409
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:14,480
virginia who's also up for re-election

410
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:15,600
for his senate seat

411
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,440
haven't seen any polls to see how he's

412
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:19,440
doing but at least uh she's been briefed

413
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:20,720
she's in on all that

414
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:23,199
and uh if there is a change in the oval

415
00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:23,760
office

416
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,800
come november uh and uh then

417
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:29,279
we we will see how that goes uh but uh

418
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:31,040
it's looking right now as if

419
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,759
we may have a few really interesting

420
00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:35,040
months ahead of us

421
00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:37,519
and uh uh we'll we will see what happens

422
00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:38,800
so that is really about oh

423
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:41,519
one last thing one tool in the toolbox

424
00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:42,160
uh that

425
00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:43,839
all these people have in terms of

426
00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:45,199
getting to the truth all these people in

427
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:46,720
government have in terms of getting to

428
00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:47,360
the truth

429
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:50,240
uh there is some precedent for excuse me

430
00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:50,639
for

431
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:58,079
it happened in the 1990s with the

432
00:16:02,470 --> 00:15:59,519
roswell report

433
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:02,480
from the uh from the united states air

434
00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:03,040
force

435
00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:06,720
so it's basically on page 18

436
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:09,519
and if you look at it team members all

437
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:11,440
had the requisite security clearances

438
00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:13,120
for classified information

439
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:15,440
and had the authority of the secretary

440
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:16,560
of the air force

441
00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,279
to declassify any classified record they

442
00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:21,519
found that might be related to roswell

443
00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:23,759
so that kind of thing can be done if

444
00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:25,199
there are some stove pipes there that

445
00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:26,639
are sort of a squirreling away

446
00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,600
information

447
00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:29,600
uh somebody with enough authority can

448
00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:31,839
absolutely positively say hey

449
00:16:36,069 --> 00:16:33,440
we want to know about this we're waving

450
00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:36,079
security clearances uh we're waving

451
00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:38,639
we'll declassify information that we'll

452
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:40,560
we'll do a number of things

453
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,880
to get at the truth and uh maybe make it

454
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,040
public we will see about all that

455
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:46,959
so uh that is really about it a

456
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,800
relatively short show today

457
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:50,720
not a whole lot happened but i do think

458
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:53,440
it's important and interesting to

459
00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:55,680
go through the the norquist appointment

460
00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:57,279
to oversee the task force

461
00:17:00,870 --> 00:17:00,399
uh that is something that uh i think is

462
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:00,880
a

463
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:06,480
whole lot of time to

464
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:08,640
to get much done uh we will see what

465
00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:09,760
happens with all that

466
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:12,319
and uh we'll be back with you as soon as

467
00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:13,520
more comes up as soon as there's

468
00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:14,880
something else to talk about

469
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:17,199
maybe uh the uh the formal announcement

470
00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:18,000
and some detail

471
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:20,319
that's provided within that context

472
00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,199
maybe they'll

473
00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:23,199
actually take some questions on all this

474
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:24,799
it would be nice to see it would be nice

475
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:25,439
to see

476
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:28,880
a deputy secretary uh of the defense uh

477
00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:31,039
standing up behind the podium

478
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:32,559
in front of a press conference and

479
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:34,720
getting some good solid questions about

480
00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:35,600
all this

481
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:38,559
and if that happens well that will be uh

482
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:40,640
quite interesting quite historic

483
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:42,160
thank you very much and tune in next

484
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:43,520
time sounds like somebody's doing some
