WEBVTT - Take Me To Your Leader

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Take me to your leaders. Unless they're jackasses. They seem

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>like jackasses. It's one more thing.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm strong and getty, one more thing before we get

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.239
<v Speaker 2>to your thing. I know we're about to talk about

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>the UFO hearing as they had the other day. I

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 2>as a guy who listens to lots of podcasts and

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.159
<v Speaker 2>reads tons of stuff, I've noticed the change in the

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years. There are way more of your

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 2>super smart people saying I think there's a decent chance

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 2>we are the only life in the universe, as opposed

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>to like my whole life where it was now, that'd

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>be crazy to think that. Now they're the super educated

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>people who spend their lives on this, there's like a

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 2>backlash to that, Like, no, there's very good reason to

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>believe we are the only life that exists in the universe.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 3>I've got to admit, having been convinced of the other

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 3>point of view from my whole life, I find that

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 3>counter into it been difficult to buy, but I haven't

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 3>dug into it.

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, look, you know, just like search it on

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>YouTube you'll find MIT professors talking going through the reasons

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 2>why they think that's quite possibly because it's just very

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>very difficult and takes a whole bunch of extraordinary things

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 2>to occur. Yeah, temperature water. Nobody's exactly sure how life

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>started anyway, but maybe there's just none anywhere, Katie.

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>Your gut reaction, Oh, I for sure think there's like

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 3>aliens or something.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure something well, and the other I'll let you

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>argue with the MIT professor with that they're hiding something.

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I totally think for sure there's life somewhere. I tend

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to be on your side.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, and the other thing that I, you know,

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 3>tended to forget about until I took a college class

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 3>on This was an unbelievably easy class. I mean, home man,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 3>talk about an easy a. You hardly had to fogg

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 3>a mirror anyway. But it was super interesting and fun.

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 3>But you know, in the history of the globe, which is,

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, couple of billions a year whatever it is,

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 3>human beings have existed for like well, just life in

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 3>general has existed for like a blink of that time.

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And so not only would.

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>You have to have you know, life here and then

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 3>there's some here and then way over there, but it

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>would have to exist at the same time across billions

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 3>of years, right, that's Elon, But I'm aware of each other,

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 3>that's Elon.

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Musk's point is that unless you are inter multiplanetary species,

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>which is why he wants to get us to Mars,

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>there's almost no chance of your surviving because there's a

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's a time limit on all planets for

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>where it's going to be too hot or too cold

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>for the life to continue. So again, there could have

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>been life, maybe maybe a very long you know, one

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 2>hundred million years ago or one hundred million years from now,

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>but the idea that there's intelligent life somewhere right now

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>that could reach us is very very low.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, fascinating topic, no doubt. But getting back to my

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 3>charming introduction. Take me to your leaders big hearing the

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>other day in the United States Congress.

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I like that version of interplanetary. Yeah, there's plenty of life.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 2>It's close by. They can immediately come here. They speak English,

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>which is very handy. Well, they have translators. It's good

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>they had Google Translate before Google. Did I appreciate you

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>learning the English language before you land? Come down and

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>they have three fingers. Yeah, they're basically us, just slightly different.

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, always bald headed, always kind of translucent with smooth

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 3>weird heads. Anyway, you know what, the old Star Trek

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 3>was so great for aliens. I mean because they really

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>tried hard with the technology of the time to be imaginative.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't all you know, bald headed, et looking creatures.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 3>It was everything from like sparkles of energy to very

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 3>humanoid to like hot green chicks.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, really ran the gamut.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Of what with Mars attacks.

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, great old movie. Yeah.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, So there's a hearing the other day Congressional panel

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>what the House Oversight Committee.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Evidently they oversee space aliens.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 3>But it's funny because this account in the Wall Street Journal,

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>which you'd think would be among the more sober accounts

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>of this, just kind of glosses over all. Right, are

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 3>we talking about freaking space aliens? Are we just talking

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 3>about objects observed by military pilots that have not yet

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 3>been identified?

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Do I think I think China has planes or drones

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>that we don't know about and are hard to detect

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 2>a freaking course, right?

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 3>And or do we think that DARPA is developing weapons

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 3>and reconnaissance aircraft and sometimes they try them out on

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 3>our very guys to see if they can be detected

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 3>and in what way and how quickly and that sort

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 3>of thing.

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, I think that. So the hearing.

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Wednesday by two House Oversight Subcommittee's latest in Congress is

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.679
<v Speaker 3>push for transparent around UFOs, which seems like a terrible

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 3>idea to me, for reasons I'll get into. Witnesses have

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 3>alleged that they've seen aerial phenomena exhibiting qualities that defy explanation,

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>that the US government has taken steps to shield what

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 3>it knows. And you've got Nancy Mayce, who's the hottie

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 3>from South Carolina who about half the time strikes me

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 3>as a really good congress person, then the other half

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 3>of the time she strikes me as a nut. But

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>she said she's the chairwoman of one of the subcommittees,

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 3>said in her opening remarks that some people didn't want

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Wednesdays hearing to happen because they feared what might be disclosed.

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>But we stood firm no amount of outside pressure would

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 3>ever keep me from pursuing a subject. What if it's

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 3>like highly classified weapons systems to keep us from being

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 3>overrun by the Chinese commie horde, sweetheart, then would you

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 3>disclose it to the public. Not good. Congress in twenty

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 3>twenty two held its first hearing on US what it

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 3>now calls unidentified anomaloust phenomenon or UAPs.

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Again, why did they have to change?

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Or if there's like flying pigs, that would be well, no,

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I suppose that would be an identified anomalous phenomena.

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I know what that is. That's a flying pig.

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh when the hole wind pigs fly thing is now, I'll.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Be damned, but identified? Yes, everybody keep cool. Since then,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 3>lawmakers in the public have heard from military and intelligence

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 3>officers who've testified they've seen UAP and they could pose.

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Risks to national security.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 3>And the Pentagon did not respond to a request for

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 3>comment on Wednesday.

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know?

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just done.

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 3>We're dealing with this as fast as we can can.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 3>We just keep kind of quiet about it all because

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 3>we're developing counters to these Chinese spy tiny spy drones,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 3>and we don't want to talk about it.

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Nancy.

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>The other thing that has changed in my lifetime that

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>makes sense, not only is there, you know, this newfound

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 2>belief that maybe there is no other life in the universes.

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Why are we sending out signals to try to reach them?

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>That stupid Stephen Hawking was the first person I heard

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>say that, and then others have written books about it.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>That's the last thing you do if you're some tiny

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>little beast in the weeds in Africa is like raise

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 2>up your arms, say hey, any giant predators out there

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>that are much bigger, stronger than meat that would like

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to kill me?

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Huh?

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Anybody I'm over here? Why would you do that? Why

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 2>would you send out the you know, the the voyager

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>that's still headed out into space and elons that went

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>out a while back, with all kinds of trying to

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>alert people that, hey, isuel a week plant over here?

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>If you want to come kill us.

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>We're made of meat, and we've got lots of natural resources.

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>We're made of meat meat.

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm reminded of one of Henry Kissinger's descriptions of America

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 3>and Americans. We're a big, friendly dog, and sometimes our

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 3>tail knocks stuff and breaks it. But and you can,

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, cite this in looking at the way we

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 3>deal with the Muslim world, in dealing with China for

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 3>several decades, and there are several others examples of this.

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 3>But we're we're nice people, Americans in large measure, we

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 3>just want to be friends and do business.

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>And so we have this idiotic.

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Assumption that everybody else just wants to be friends and

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 3>do business, including space aliens.

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Right there on Flutron five, Hey do you want to.

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Be our friend? Do you want to be our friends?

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Sap?

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, we'd like to eat your resources.

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>That their ray gun. They just zap you with their

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>ray gun.

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>This is what happens, No words necessary.

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 2>What happened in the horror movie Signs. They started communicating

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>with the aliens through a baby monitor and everybody died. Yeah,

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 2>the idea that that would automatically somehow benefit humanity if

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>we did contact a almost certainly superior life format. How

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 2>why would you assume that that's really weird that we

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 2>ever thought that, let alone it being the consensus of view.

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a very American thing to do, it is.

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 3>The Pentagon has previously said there is no evidence that

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 3>UFO sightings are alien spacecraft.

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Thank god, I don't.

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Not since having achieved arguably manhood, have I spent much

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 3>time at all thinking about space alien craft. No, absol

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 3>not it's it's it's advanced military technologies from ours and

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 3>other governments. Obviously, now some okay, all right, hey, you

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 3>know me, mister, I want to hear the opposing point

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 3>of view.

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>You think it may be.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>A cigar shaped silvery spaceship.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you could be?

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.559
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm thinking. The saucer coming down with the beam,

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 2>got the beam picked you up, probed you, maybe ainly,

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and I haven't thought.

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 3>So always part of it, Yeah, so much probing, always

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 3>part of it.

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Now, some of the like miraculous stops and starts and

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 3>changes the direction and speed that they've observed in these

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 3>craft is I've got to admit it. It looks to

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 3>be beyond terrestrial technology. But the fact that I can't

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 3>come up with the explanation, partly because I'm not a

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 3>physicist nor a DARPA scientist or whatever, does not mean well,

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>you gotta go to space aliens the next step.

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 3>That's well, if if the professional you know, commentator can't

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.959
<v Speaker 3>nail down what it is, it must be space aliens. No,

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:53.679
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's some ability to distort and deceive radar systems

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 3>and you know whatever other technologies the jet fighters use

0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 3>and that sort of thing.

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 2>But God, we should have dug up the best of

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live when she gets, you know,

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 2>probed by the aliens, and she'd always puts funny joke. Oh,

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 2>they had me strapped up and they looked me over

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 2>from my cooder to my tutor before they let me

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>back down.

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Sure, one hundred and five euphemisms for the female parts,

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 3>just absolutely hilarious. Hey remember when the guy told everybody

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 3>to storm Area fifty one online and they took him

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.599
<v Speaker 3>serious and it was just a party outside everyone every fifty.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>One on Gates. Yeah, that was a good time.

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I guess that's it.
