Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central.
Speaker 1: It's America's only sorts for news.
Speaker 2: This it's The Daily Show with your host Ronnie Day.
Speaker 3: Hey, wolcome to the Emmy Award winning Daily Show. I'm
Speaker 3: Emmy Award winner Ronnie Chang. Please address me as such.
Speaker 3: We've got so much to talk about tonight. Donald Trump
Speaker 3: had a very busy weekend. Republicans wants you to tone
Speaker 3: your rhetoric down, you bastards, and RFK Jr is still
Speaker 3: doing RFK JR things.
Speaker 4: So let's get into today's headlines.
Speaker 3: Ever since Joe Biden dropped out for being old as shit,
Speaker 3: lots of people have been saying, what about Donald Trump?
Speaker 3: He's also an old man. But listen, Trump has energy. Okay,
Speaker 3: look how much he got done this weekend. He held
Speaker 3: a rally, he started at a crypto company you definitely
Speaker 3: should put all your money into, and he got in
Speaker 3: nine hoes of golf, well five hose. That was a
Speaker 3: bit of an interruption.
Speaker 1: Tonight, the Chili new details in the apparent second assassination
Speaker 1: attempt on Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: Yo again, Hey, will you people stop trying to assassinate
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Not only is it morally wrong, but you're
Speaker 3: also just giving him more things to brag about. They
Speaker 3: only tried to kill Overham Lincoln once. That makes me
Speaker 3: twice as great as him. But yes, this weekend, a
Speaker 3: crazy person tried to hunt Donald Trump in his natural
Speaker 3: habitat his golf course.
Speaker 5: Investigators say a Secret Service agent monitoring the woods ahead
Speaker 5: of mister Trump as he played golf on Sunday, saw
Speaker 5: a rifle barrel through the tree line and open fire.
Speaker 6: The subject, who did not have line of sight to
Speaker 6: the former president, fled the scene.
Speaker 1: He did not fire or get off any shots. At
Speaker 1: our agents.
Speaker 5: Cell phone record show he had been in place at
Speaker 5: the edge of the golf course for nearly twelve hours.
Speaker 3: This guy managed to walk into Trump's golf course and
Speaker 3: stay there undetected for twelve hours. Okay, and I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've thought about this, Trump, but maybe you
Speaker 3: should consider building, you know, like a wall, Like I
Speaker 3: don't know if you're like a.
Speaker 4: You know, a wall guy. Just just think about it.
Speaker 3: But by the way, have you noticed that the news
Speaker 3: reports are all like a herrowing neo tragedy, sending chills
Speaker 3: through a nation, And meanwhile everyone you actually know is like, oh.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean we have to act like it's a
Speaker 3: big deal. But he doesn't really have the same impact
Speaker 3: of the first one. You know, It's kind of like
Speaker 3: Black Panther two. You're like, yeah, I guess I'll see it.
Speaker 3: I mean, how's that going to work?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: The Cicco Service is getting a lot of heat for
Speaker 3: letting that guy get this far, but don't worry that
Speaker 3: taking action.
Speaker 5: As part of that increase focus on security, the Palm
Speaker 5: Beach County Sheriff now says that mar A Lago behind
Speaker 5: me has the highest security level possible, equivalent to when
Speaker 5: Donald Trump was president.
Speaker 3: That's right, the highest security level possible. It goes security,
Speaker 3: maximum security, and then Homer Loane level. I'm talking paint
Speaker 3: cans on the stairs, scary movies playing really loud, a
Speaker 3: codboard cutout of Trump in the windows, moving back and forth,
Speaker 3: and if things get really bad, Trump's scary old friend
Speaker 3: will show up.
Speaker 4: And protect him.
Speaker 3: Now, the motive of the assassin remains unclear, so we'll
Speaker 3: have to look at who might have a reason to
Speaker 3: be angry at Donald Trump.
Speaker 6: On Sunday, three hours before the attempt, on his life.
Speaker 6: Trump blaired I hate Taylor Swift on Truth's Social reacting
Speaker 6: to her bombshell endorsement of Kamala Harris O.
Speaker 3: Donald tweeting, I hate Taylor Swift. That's dangerous. I mean
Speaker 3: I would I would rather buy one of those hesbolop
Speaker 3: pages than tweet I hate Taylor Swift. I think I
Speaker 3: think Trump needs to stick to racism.
Speaker 4: It's less divisive.
Speaker 3: But the assassin this weekend was probably not a swiftye. Okay,
Speaker 3: he doesn't fit them. Swifty is on nonviolent. They prefer
Speaker 3: the cyber bully you until you kill yourself. So why
Speaker 3: did this guy come for Trump? I mean, according to JD. Vans,
Speaker 3: Trump's VP and the worst thing that happened to cat
Speaker 3: ladies since feline aids. Democrats made him do it.
Speaker 7: The left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs
Speaker 7: to cut this crap out. We cannot tell the American
Speaker 7: people that one candidate is a fascist and if he's elected,
Speaker 7: it is going to be the end of American democracy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, liberals, stop accurately describing Trump. Okay, you're putting him
Speaker 3: in danger when you repeat the things he says verbato.
Speaker 3: But Jdvans has a point. The left needs to stop
Speaker 3: calling its political opponents fascist. Okay, you don't see Donald
Speaker 3: Trump doing that all the time.
Speaker 1: She's a Marxist, she's a fascist.
Speaker 8: She's a Marxist communist fascist socialist.
Speaker 1: We have a fascist person running.
Speaker 9: There's a radical left Marxist communist fascist. She's a Marxist
Speaker 9: communist fascist person.
Speaker 3: But that last one it felt like he ran out
Speaker 3: of woods. The end it is she's a Marxist communist
Speaker 3: fascist dermatologist. I mean, Trump has called Kamala fascist so
Speaker 3: much I'm not sure he knows her name. It's like
Speaker 3: when you say to a coworker, oh hey, hey, yeah,
Speaker 3: good to see you, my fascist buddy. Don't forget the
Speaker 3: rules of slurs either. Okay, you can use the word
Speaker 3: if you are one. That's why I can call someone
Speaker 3: else ronnie, but you can't call me ronnie. Okay, that's
Speaker 3: our words. But look, whether or not you think the
Speaker 3: rhetoric should be toned down, it's just not something that
Speaker 3: Trump and Vents actually believe in. I mean, for the
Speaker 3: past week, the city of Springfield has been overrun with
Speaker 3: bomb threats after Trump and Vents claimed that Haitian immigrants
Speaker 3: are eating everyone's cats and dogs, which there is no
Speaker 3: evidence of. I mean, people love posting photos of their food. Okay,
Speaker 3: so we would have.
Speaker 4: Seen it by now.
Speaker 3: But when Trump was asked about those bomb threats, he
Speaker 3: didn't seem too concerned.
Speaker 5: Did you announce the bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio?
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened with the bomb threats.
Speaker 9: I know that it's been taken over by illegal migrants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy who wants everyone to believe he's super
Speaker 3: concerned about political violence came even bring himself to say
Speaker 3: he's against bomb threats. I mean, what more information are
Speaker 3: you waiting for. It's a bomb threat. You need to
Speaker 3: know who the bomb was going to vote for. I mean,
Speaker 3: I can't believe this guy is saying that. Very fine
Speaker 3: bomb threats on both sides. You know this isn't a
Speaker 3: trick question. This is a layup for politicians. So I
Speaker 3: do support the troops. So do you like Killo Swift
Speaker 3: to say yes, it's laom so Well, any of the
Speaker 3: heater rhetoric in this country change. Probably not, But there
Speaker 3: was at least one moment over the weekend that offered
Speaker 3: a glimmer of hope.
Speaker 10: President Biden Tonight spoke on the phone with Trump. The
Speaker 10: White House describes the conversation as cordial, with Biden sharing
Speaker 10: his relief that the former president is safe, and then
Speaker 10: Trump thanking Biden for the call.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Joe Biden, I forgot about that guy. That's right,
Speaker 3: he's the president. It's so nice when two eighty old
Speaker 3: men can speak to each other on the last piece
Speaker 3: of technology. They can truly understand. And I know you're thinking,
Speaker 3: it would be great if we knew exactly what they
Speaker 3: talked about on that call. Well, luckily we had the
Speaker 3: Daily Show God hands on the very real audio recorded Hello, Hey.
Speaker 8: Johnny, it's me President Joe.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 8: Then has Biden blame's Joe, Brandy. I just want to say,
Speaker 8: I'm glad you're safe. Directing Secretary service makes your mar
Speaker 8: LAO completely secure.
Speaker 11: Thank you, Joe, And let me just say, please come back.
Speaker 11: Huh please, Joe. This race has no fun without you.
Speaker 11: Everyone is shooting at me. This black lady keeps laughing
Speaker 11: at me in the debates. I need you, bat, Joe.
Speaker 11: You had good times together.
Speaker 1: Didn't we.
Speaker 8: Of course we did. Donnie r Goes, she's us sinking
Speaker 8: in my life purpose Nowadays, no one even pays attention
Speaker 8: to me. Just yes day, phoot down furey stairs.
Speaker 1: Jill just walked over me.
Speaker 11: Then tell everyone you're back in the race. You can
Speaker 11: call me a threat to democracy. I'll call you a
Speaker 11: demented head of an international crime family. It'll be like
Speaker 11: old times.
Speaker 8: Don't you think I want to They won't let me,
Speaker 8: and she posts you shut my door and out a
Speaker 8: baseball man.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Donnie, I gotta go.
Speaker 1: I gotta go to jd Vance.
Speaker 11: Just call women walking embryo bags. So I gotta deal
Speaker 11: with that.
Speaker 8: Goodbye, Joe.
Speaker 12: Wait, Donnie, run away with me?
Speaker 8: What let me at going up tree at for five
Speaker 8: o'clock we drive some small Latino country and run for
Speaker 8: president there. Oh my god, is this really happening?
Speaker 11: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Joe?
Speaker 8: I'm as serious as you represent democracy? Who you are?
Speaker 1: Old friends? You have that senator bitch.
Speaker 11: You have made me the happiest man alive.
Speaker 4: I'm so happy for them. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 4: talk about the latest. Our case kind of above me
Speaker 4: to poke with an animal.
Speaker 1: But don't go away.
Speaker 4: Welcome back there there we sho.
Speaker 1: It's t to d all Way.
Speaker 4: It's been going on for about sixty years.
Speaker 3: Now, And for me, the worst part was having to
Speaker 3: hear about RFK Junior and all the weird things he
Speaker 3: does with animals. I mean, we have to learn how
Speaker 3: he grills goat skeletons, and how he picks up dead
Speaker 3: bears and dumps in Central Park, and how his head
Speaker 3: is a cemetery for brain eating worms. But last month
Speaker 3: he dropped off the race, And thank Buddha because now
Speaker 3: I don't have to listen to any more of his
Speaker 3: weird animal shit.
Speaker 4: Robert F.
Speaker 13: Kennedy Junior is now under federal investigation for allegedly decapitating
Speaker 13: a dead whale and taking the head home.
Speaker 4: What is going on? It's good?
Speaker 3: Is there any animal on earth you won't mutilate? I mean,
Speaker 3: keep that creep the hell away from Mudang. Now he's
Speaker 3: under federal investigation for whale beheading, and I have so
Speaker 3: many questions. I mean, for instance, how do you know
Speaker 3: where the head starts? I mean, where does the tide go?
Speaker 3: Does it go like up here? Is it like down
Speaker 3: after the fins? I mean the whole animal a head.
Speaker 3: And also I didn't even know the government had an
Speaker 3: agency for whale crimes. They must have been so happy
Speaker 3: to get this case. I mean, I bet that morning
Speaker 3: they're like, guys, guys, I think we're gonna have to
Speaker 3: shut down. It's just not enough whale crimes to justify
Speaker 3: a budget. So you're all fired in three two. Whoa wait,
Speaker 3: hang on the phone is waying? Yes, yes, yes, you
Speaker 3: can be right there.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, we might have to rearrange our schedule, but
Speaker 4: I just wait for us.
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you're wondering how he brought
Speaker 3: the whalehead home, well it's as gross as you think.
Speaker 13: The longtime conservationist allegedly saw the head off a dead
Speaker 13: whale back in nineteen ninety four after it washed up
Speaker 13: on a Massachusetts beach. Kennedy reportedly cut off the whale's
Speaker 13: head and then bungee courted it to the roof of
Speaker 13: the family minivan before driving it across state lines.
Speaker 12: To bring it back to his New York homb so he.
Speaker 4: Could study the school.
Speaker 13: Rfk's daughter Kick Kennedy originally shared the fishy anecdote more
Speaker 13: than a decade ago.
Speaker 6: She said, every time they accelerated, quote, whale juice poured
Speaker 6: into the windows.
Speaker 3: How can you be in the same family as Ted
Speaker 3: Kennedy and still have the worst driving story in the family.
Speaker 3: RFK Junior keeps saying that vaccines caused as health problems,
Speaker 3: but hey, maybe you think it's from inhaling, kai exhaust
Speaker 3: and shamougism for eight hours. My big question is what
Speaker 3: the hell did RFK do with the whales head?
Speaker 12: I mean, I sold the great head to be.
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 4: Who said that?
Speaker 12: Who said that to that honey whaler who scours the
Speaker 12: one Duxies for its blobby bees?
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, hold on, some sort of old timey fisherman.
Speaker 12: Sure don't you see the beard the pipe?
Speaker 4: Let's I don't need a whole sea shanty? Okay? Are
Speaker 4: you saying that you buy whaleheads from RFK Jr? Why
Speaker 4: would you do that?
Speaker 2: Well, if you know of a better way to get
Speaker 2: whale juice, I more ears, two legged land lover.
Speaker 3: Okay, king, just tell me what do you even do
Speaker 3: if a whales head?
Speaker 2: What don't I do with them? The oil fuse the
Speaker 2: gas lamps from Vantucket. Their bones make fine corsets for
Speaker 2: the lasses of New Bedford, and the blowholes are nature's fleshlight.
Speaker 4: Okay, Wow, that's that is gross.
Speaker 12: Oh someone likes to kink.
Speaker 2: Shame, don't they huh, get with the times, man, it's
Speaker 2: eighteen twenty four.
Speaker 12: The point is I need more whaleheads, So spread the
Speaker 12: word across the seven seas.
Speaker 2: Gold to balloon to any green horde who brings me
Speaker 2: the skull of the lemarthen.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't think the balloons are legal tender anymore.
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, crypto then either way it'll buy you many
Speaker 2: a blowhole for the lonely nights that seed.
Speaker 3: Listen, old timey sailor. Decapitating whales is wrong.
Speaker 12: It doesn't have to be a whale. Any creature of
Speaker 12: the sea will earn you mean treasure.
Speaker 2: The tentacles of an octopus, the jaws of a great white,
Speaker 2: the head of the orphan clownfish they call Nemo, and
Speaker 2: an extra the balloon to any man who brings me
Speaker 2: the giant.
Speaker 1: Squid of the deep, so I can make.
Speaker 8: Her my bride.
Speaker 4: What did you just say, You gonna marry a squid?
Speaker 12: What I say about kick chovy?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: You sound like you really know r K Jr. Really
Speaker 4: really well. Okay, so are you gonna be voting for him? No?
Speaker 12: I collect the separate heads of whales. I'm not a lunatic.
Speaker 4: Old timey sail everybody. When we come back, Louise.
Speaker 14: Aridondo be joining on the shelf and don't go away. Hey,
Speaker 14: welcome bout that daily show.
Speaker 3: My guest to night is the former head of the
Speaker 3: secretive Pentagon unit that study UFOs. He's written the best
Speaker 3: selling book Imminent Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs. Please
Speaker 3: welcome Louis Alesondo. Okay, so you know, thanks well coming
Speaker 3: on the show. Louis, thank you for having me my
Speaker 3: honorn privilege. Yeah, it's really nice to take a break
Speaker 3: talking about divisive American politics to talk about what is
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 4: It's aliens.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, we don't call them aliens anymore.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a politically incorrect term. We now call
Speaker 1: them in the Pentagon NHI, non human intelligence.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe you should probably give you your bona fides
Speaker 3: a bit. You well, you are, you ran in you
Speaker 3: are in intelligence and count intelligence.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So after college, I spent some time. I went
Speaker 1: into the United States Army, spent some time in military intelligence,
Speaker 1: and then from there I was recruited into some special
Speaker 1: activity programs where I became a special agent in counter
Speaker 1: intelligence investigating terrorism and espionage. In two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: early two thousand and nine, I was brought in to
Speaker 1: run counter intelligence for that program what is now known
Speaker 1: as a TIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, and
Speaker 1: later on I wound up being one of its senior members.
Speaker 3: Right, so you are a military man, a veteran, you
Speaker 3: are intelligence officer, count intelligence officer, a grown adult. By
Speaker 3: your own words, you're also a fat based person.
Speaker 4: You've said that in interviews.
Speaker 1: But I'm also proof that you don't have to be
Speaker 1: intelligent to be an intelligence Well.
Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't go.
Speaker 1: Let me just put that out there.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, let me put this out there.
Speaker 1: What is going on?
Speaker 4: These aliens?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 1: What is alien?
Speaker 4: What's going on that's aliens?
Speaker 14: What?
Speaker 3: What is this?
Speaker 1: So the US government for many decades has been investing
Speaker 1: a lot of tax payer money looking into this this
Speaker 1: topic here, and it turns out that there are absolutely
Speaker 1: technologies that are coming into our controlled US airspace over
Speaker 1: our sensitive military installations, may have the ability to interfere
Speaker 1: with our nuclear equities. And yeah, it's real. And not
Speaker 1: only are pilots picking it up and reporting it. Also
Speaker 1: we've got on electro optical data like gun camera footage
Speaker 1: flear footage and also radar data. And it's not just here.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's pretty pervasive all over the world.
Speaker 4: Now, so what there's aliens. There's aliens, aliens on right
Speaker 4: now and doing shit. What they're doing?
Speaker 1: How you put those two words together, I'm not sure that.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure necessarily that aliens come go okay, so
Speaker 3: what arey doing?
Speaker 4: What they're doing here? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: So it appears that they're very interested in our technology.
Speaker 1: We don't know yet. I want to be very clear.
Speaker 3: They came here and they don't want to look at
Speaker 3: my iPhone sixteen. No, but they've got shit that flew
Speaker 3: across the stars they don't care about.
Speaker 1: They are very interested in our military equities and capabilities,
Speaker 1: and also our nuclear technology. And I think what's for me,
Speaker 1: what was most compelling is that in some cases you
Speaker 1: had literally literally near misses of US combat aircraft coming
Speaker 1: within fifteen feet of these objects, in some cases literally
Speaker 1: splitting a combat formation right down the middle. These are
Speaker 1: things that can do things that none of our vehicles
Speaker 1: can replicate. Their performance capabilities are far beyond anything that
Speaker 1: we have, and quite frankly, there's not a whole lot
Speaker 1: we can do about it right now.
Speaker 3: So beyond a shadow of a doubt that you've seen
Speaker 3: the evidence the aliens.
Speaker 1: Oh, the governments already come out. Look, you have a
Speaker 1: former director of National Intelligence, a former director of CIA,
Speaker 1: a former president of the United States, all coming out
Speaker 1: and saying officially, yeah, there's something to this. I mean,
Speaker 1: these things look like they are definitely interested in our stuff.
Speaker 1: And furthermore, when the government first came out with their
Speaker 1: new UFO program called Arrow, their first report said, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's one hundred and forty three of these incidents, but
Speaker 1: we expect these numbers to go down as we figure
Speaker 1: them out. The next report that came out there was
Speaker 1: over three hundred. The next report there's now over eight hundreds.
Speaker 1: So the numbers increasing, not decreasing.
Speaker 3: Okay, So why is this getting buried in the cycle
Speaker 3: or something? Because Donald Trump says, I hate Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: So we just never see this stuff because when you presidents,
Speaker 3: the government has said these things at around, so their.
Speaker 1: In life is problem. It's a bureaucracy. Look, the men
Speaker 1: and women find men and women of the Pentagon and
Speaker 1: the US government doing credible work, and most of the
Speaker 1: time we are a lot better off as a society
Speaker 1: because of the professionalism. Unfortunately, in this particular case, the
Speaker 1: bureaucracy was a problem. We continue to try to get
Speaker 1: alarm bells up to the Secretary of Defense over and
Speaker 1: over again, but there was this layer of these proverbial
Speaker 1: praetorian guards that didn't want I want to tell the
Speaker 1: Secretary Defense that we were spending taxpayer money looking into
Speaker 1: these things and oh, by the way, turns out they're real.
Speaker 3: Okay, are you, with all due respect, is there any
Speaker 3: chance that you would accidentally describing the synopsis to Independence
Speaker 3: Day because that's the movie that was in the movie,
Speaker 3: they couldn't get to the dude because they wouldn't listen.
Speaker 3: So you're telling me aliens are going to take over
Speaker 3: because of US government bureaucracy.
Speaker 1: Well, I certainly hope that's not the case. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, when we look at this issue here, this
Speaker 1: has been going on for decades. This has been going
Speaker 1: on since the late nineteen forties. I want to say
Speaker 1: that people go, wait a minute, you're talking about Roswell.
Speaker 1: Was Roswell? Reel was Roswell?
Speaker 4: Wil It was absolutely okay, So what was that Roswell?
Speaker 1: There was a crash. It was of a vehicle that
Speaker 1: had broken into two pieces, and it was recovered by
Speaker 1: the United States government, taken to a secure military installation,
Speaker 1: and then from there it went out to certain locations.
Speaker 1: What is in that book I'm allowed to talk about
Speaker 1: that went through the Pentagony view process, so I am
Speaker 1: legally able to talk about it. There are things that
Speaker 1: I'm still not yet allowed to talk about.
Speaker 4: Well, those things tell us those things.
Speaker 1: Well, let's see here. I don't know. I do not
Speaker 1: look good in an orange jumpsuit, so I gotta be
Speaker 1: very careful, Like.
Speaker 3: Are you're gonna look good in whatever jumps with the
Speaker 3: aliens put on you? Better?
Speaker 4: We better be.
Speaker 3: This is the It sounds like, well, battling aliens and
Speaker 3: bureaucracy here? Can we I don't know if we can
Speaker 3: fight a two front one on this? Can we choose
Speaker 3: a side to fight here?
Speaker 1: I think I'd prefer to fight aliens if I had
Speaker 1: to choose between bureaucracy, to be honest with.
Speaker 3: Okay, So in the book you say that, and by
Speaker 3: the way, I mean, I read the book and it's
Speaker 3: it's a very uh it's a pattern, it's it's very
Speaker 3: well written.
Speaker 4: It's easy to follow.
Speaker 3: Like in it, you say, like the best case scenario
Speaker 3: right now is that aliens on national security threat issue.
Speaker 1: It is just to determine if something is a threat.
Speaker 1: It's really a very simple calculus. It's capabilities versus intent.
Speaker 1: Now we've seen some of the capabilities, we still have
Speaker 1: no idea the intent, So therefore we don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a threat. But let me give you a very
Speaker 1: quick analogy. Here. You probably live in a great lovely area,
Speaker 1: just like your audience here. Do you lock your door?
Speaker 4: Live in New York City?
Speaker 1: So no, no, really, do you lock your front doors?
Speaker 4: That's aliens here right now in New York City. Is
Speaker 4: you're gonna say, yeah, I do lock my front.
Speaker 1: Those so and most people do. And let's say you
Speaker 1: lock your windows and you turn it on your alarm.
Speaker 1: Let's say one Sunday morning, you come downstairs, I have
Speaker 1: a hot cup of coffee, your tea, and despite your
Speaker 1: doors being locked, in your window and your alarm on,
Speaker 1: there's now size twelve muddy boot prints in your living
Speaker 1: room floor and your carpet that weren't there the night before. Now,
Speaker 1: no one's been hurt, nothing's out of place, but despite
Speaker 1: you doing all this other stuff and locking doors and
Speaker 1: making sure the alarm's on. They're an outfootprints in your
Speaker 1: living room carpet that weren't there the night before. My
Speaker 1: question to you is is that a threat? And so
Speaker 1: my response is from a national security perspective, I was
Speaker 1: wearing my national security hat. It could be if it
Speaker 1: wanted to be. So we probably should figure out how
Speaker 1: it's getting into the house.
Speaker 3: You'll probably move at that point, we should all that apartment.
Speaker 3: There's bootprints, they're still walking around.
Speaker 1: So these things are are We are encountering them over
Speaker 1: controlled US air space, like I said, over sensitive military installations,
Speaker 1: and so from a national security perspective, we've got to
Speaker 1: figure out what these things are.
Speaker 4: No ship, no ship. We got to figure out what's
Speaker 4: got you.
Speaker 3: See, you're saying you're being very professional and being very technical,
Speaker 3: and you're being very calm as an intelligence officer, and
Speaker 3: then you're saying that aliens said that we don't know
Speaker 3: what they want?
Speaker 7: What what?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: What do? What should people take away from this as
Speaker 3: aliens and what look when you see it?
Speaker 4: Shoot on site? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, don't do that. I would recommend not
Speaker 1: doing that. I think what what people need to know
Speaker 1: Right now? US government is taking this topic very seriously.
Speaker 1: There's there's several pieces of legislation that are going through
Speaker 1: through Congress right now. There are members in both the
Speaker 1: House and the Senate that had been briefed by whistleblowers
Speaker 1: on this topic, people who have been part of certain
Speaker 1: efforts UAP efforts in the past.
Speaker 3: You should is not getting mixed up the Border Act,
Speaker 3: right because that when you say aliens, I don't think
Speaker 3: they really know which ones you're talking.
Speaker 1: Well, we're these, I mean yeah, if you have illegal
Speaker 1: aliens and you've got aliens, yeah, right.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So so there's acts coming out as legislation.
Speaker 3: What legislating against intergalactic aliens?
Speaker 1: Well, I think the idea is to open the door
Speaker 1: for whistleblowers to come out and be able to have
Speaker 1: a protected conversation with Congress, so Congress can then have
Speaker 1: a conversation with American people. I think that's really what
Speaker 1: this is about. And certainly I think there's certain people
Speaker 1: in By the way, for the first time, this is
Speaker 1: a bipartisan issue. You've got both liberals and conservatives on
Speaker 1: the hill. Can you believe it, of all things UAP right.
Speaker 3: No, See, that's the most off assed thing you said,
Speaker 3: right right, that is not who would have thought I'll
Speaker 3: believe aliens.
Speaker 4: Right, there's no way these guys are working together.
Speaker 1: They are, I swear to God, I can't say who
Speaker 1: they are, but their names have already been I think
Speaker 1: in the press quite a bit. But on both sides,
Speaker 1: they are taking this topic very seriously. A lot of
Speaker 1: these folks have military backgrounds.
Speaker 3: Why don't they just let it out, Just let the
Speaker 3: news out, Tell people to show them the freaking show
Speaker 3: them the photo of the alien selfie with the president,
Speaker 3: and then let's get it out.
Speaker 1: There, let's handle We've spent many decades backing ourselves into
Speaker 1: a corner on this conversation, and the government has said
Speaker 1: publicly what its position is. Now it's in a situation
Speaker 1: where it's having to unwind that conversation and say, look, folks,
Speaker 1: we haven't always been completely forthcoming and truthful with you.
Speaker 1: And that's a hard conversation to.
Speaker 4: Have when you talk about that's aliens. Have the conversation, there's.
Speaker 3: Aliens, there's aliens. That's aliens. All right, Well, can we
Speaker 3: can we stop them?
Speaker 1: Well? I don't know, I mean, that's not a question
Speaker 1: for me. That's a question for kind of a.
Speaker 4: Question for you.
Speaker 3: I think you're the only one who can, because it
Speaker 3: sounds like your aditude also seems to be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: they're here, I've seen them. They have capabilities beyond an understanding,
Speaker 3: and nothing much we can do about it. So you know,
Speaker 3: keep watching Paramount plus and what we're supposed to do
Speaker 3: about this now.
Speaker 1: I think, Look, I personally think Americans can handle the
Speaker 1: truth about this topic. I think it's it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: we can joke a lot about it, but the reality
Speaker 1: is is that these things, whatever they are, wherever they're from,
Speaker 1: alien this is real.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you real, all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's real whatever it is.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, is that a chance that if the government
Speaker 3: tells people aliens are real and shows them, will unite
Speaker 3: together in a global effort to defeat them?
Speaker 1: And well, you know, there were there. There was a
Speaker 1: famous speech by by Reagan back in the eighties where
Speaker 1: he's by.
Speaker 4: Bill Pullman in Independence.
Speaker 1: And him, Yeah that's right, where they said that if
Speaker 1: if if the truth of this came out, it would
Speaker 1: probably unite the world.
Speaker 4: But we need it. Now, let's go aliens, let's go. Now,
Speaker 4: this is the time.
Speaker 14: This is the time.
Speaker 4: We got a lot of shit going down. Now, Aliens
Speaker 4: come aliens, and now I'm down for aliens. Now, okay,
Speaker 4: if we look.
Speaker 1: Uniting Congress is already a big enough challenge. Let's let's
Speaker 1: get these folks on the same sheet of music. Let's
Speaker 1: get the briefings they need, and then let them have
Speaker 1: a conversation with their constituents.
Speaker 3: You're talking about paperwork, I'm talking about aliens.
Speaker 1: The government survives off of paperwork. It is a bureaucracy, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: so we have to look, there's a there's a I've
Speaker 1: always said there's a there's a right way to do things,
Speaker 1: and you can do also it right now, but they're
Speaker 1: not necessarily the same thing. Doing things right and right
Speaker 1: now may not be you know, the same the same.
Speaker 3: Thing you mean as aliens, and you want to go
Speaker 3: through bureaucracy until unite Congress before you can fight the aliens.
Speaker 4: Fight the aliens, get the aliens out.
Speaker 1: I think there's opportunity here. In the last seven years,
Speaker 1: I think we've come further on this conversation than we
Speaker 1: have the last seventy. There are elements now in the
Speaker 1: government that want this conversation to occur. They want the
Speaker 1: American people to know. Look, this is the worst kept
Speaker 1: secret at this point, probably in the US government. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's pathetic the fact that so many people now
Speaker 1: are in our militaries, are intelligence communities, have even in
Speaker 1: some cases come up close and personal with these things.
Speaker 4: Wait, yeah, okay, this is okay, this is crazy. Anyway,
Speaker 4: imminent is.
Speaker 1: Imminent?
Speaker 4: Is available? Now? I wish you could.
Speaker 3: We could talk for hours about this big malait everybody.
