Speaker 1: you're up next. Hi, thanks for taking my call at

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: the listening with interest to this UFO discussion this evening

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: UM with Richard Dolan and the Open Mines. Also, UM,

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I found something interesting online I wanted to share. I

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: was really really going to make a comment about the

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification program being ongoing. UM I could

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: talk about that, but that seems interesting to me. But

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: I thought also about something I saw online on a

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: YouTube video Dr Stephen Greer, who I believe has been

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: a past guest on Coast to Coast if I'm not mistaken.

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: He talked in the video on YouTube about having a

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: member of his family who used to be the city

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: editor of the Boston Globe, who when he talked with

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: this member of his family, put up a wall to

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the idea or the possibility of the Globe ever covering

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: UFOs and et s in a serious manner. And according

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: to Dr Stephen Greer, his family member said, you could

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: put the dead body of an ET on my desk

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't cover the story. This is the Globe,

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: not the National Enquirer. And that's the that's the paraphrase,

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: the pretty close paraphrase TOL video. I thought, that's interesting.

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: That's sort of parallels with what Richard Dolan said about

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: the New York Times, you know, you know, sort of

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: being in on the whole um, you know, sort of

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: cover up but maybe not. I don't know, the hands

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: are dirty, sort of. They're not really completely open with

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: the situation. Even though they've covered it, they're not covering

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: it completely and thoroughly, and I also wanted in this

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: vein I wanted to bring to your attention. And I

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: don't know if the Coast to coast has covered this issue. UM.

43
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: The Great Barrington, Massachusetts Historical Society, Society and Museum UM

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: has formally an officially inducted UFO case, and that happened

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: back in two thousands fifteen. There's a UFO abductee called

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Thomas E. Read. Yeah, we we know Tom. He's a

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: good friend of the show. Okay, well, the Globe did

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: a disservice to his story. UM. I thought it was

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: interested sort of, and I think it was a two

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: thousands fifteen the Globe covered it, did an editorial about

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: this story, and they kind of really put it down,

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: kind of like thumb their nose at it sort of.

53
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: I thought, this is this is very interesting. I just

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: thought we need to make some progress in overcoming the stigma,

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: not not just with you know, it's very important to

56
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: do this, you know, late night radio, but also uh,

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, the establishment needs to you know, give butt kicks,

58
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, to have some serious discussion about this issue.

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I just thought to put that out there. That's the

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: way the mainstream media is alex. I'll help you out.

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: I'll help you out thoroughly. Right here, let me let

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: me put your mind in the right spot. When I

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: went to school for broadcasting, or when anybody goes to

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: school for journalism and broadcasts and you are there and

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: you turn around and you ask your professor, your teacher,

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's an adject Maybe it's somebody that works professionally

67
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: for CNN or Fox or the local affiliate or whatever,

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and they're in and you ask them, Hey, so what

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: happens if you have a UFO story you want to

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: do on the air? Watch their reaction and the reaction

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: is this, we don't know, we don't do UFO, we

72
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: don't cover it. Well, what if the news director brings

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: you a story about a UFO. No, he wouldn't, she wouldn't.

74
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: We don't do UFOs ever, And that's the way it is.

75
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: There is no other way to look at it. So

76
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: when I as as somebody that's been a broadcast for

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: a long time and I see this going into the

78
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: mainstream media for the first time, I can tell you

79
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: what I was taught and the way that the media

80
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: looks at this completely not a little bit, completely That's

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: why the New York Times, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, the BBC, Politico,

82
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: RT and ed Sky and Sky and anybody that you

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: can mention around the world that covered this in the

84
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: mainstream media, it is a big deal. And they don't

85
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: even know how to deal with it themselves because they've

86
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: never covered it before. It was always a joke Q

87
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: the X Files music. We're gonna have a haha moment here.

88
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: It's ever been dealt with at this level. They don't

89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: even know what questions to ask. They don't know how

90
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: to deal with it. They don't know about UFO history.

91
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: That's why it's a big deal, and it's a very

92
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: big deal. Going back to the Tom Reid story from

93
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen, of course they looked at it

94
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: that way. They don't know how to deal with it.

95
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I had ABC News come out to my studio back

96
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand when was the two thousand fourteen when

97
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: the story broke about the Malibu underwater base, and I

98
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: told them then when they showed up for the interview

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: which aired on ABC, I told them that look, don't discredit,

100
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: don't make fun of this, do not I'm not going

101
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: to do this interview, if you don't look at this honestly.

102
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I want everything to have integrity and I want this

103
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: to to be a serious. Oh yeah, no, no problem, Jimmy,

104
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: no problem. Well you know what it aired, and what

105
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: did they do? They cued the X Files music at

106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: the end. You know, so I said that, I said

107
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: to myself, then I am done with the mass media

108
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to this stuff. You know, I am

109
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the mass media. I get that, but as far as

110
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: dealing with them on any level, I'm done. And I'm

111
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: really happy that finally that the mainstream media has has

112
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: covered the story, covered it honestly, and have have pushed

113
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: this forward to people that have never thought about watching

114
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: UFOs on the news because it's never been there before.

115
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: And that's it, Alex. That's how I look at it.

116
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: And until next year, what I want you to do

117
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: this weekend is have a great, safe New Year's my friend.

118
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Alex. And I'm being serious about

119
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: this too. That is the way that the mass media,

120
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: news journalism, all outlets, print, online, television, everywhere. They will

121
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: never recover the UFO story that never ever very surprised

122
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: that it had happened the way it did. Listen to
