Speaker 1: Take me to your leaders. Unless they're jackasses. They seem
Speaker 1: like jackasses. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty, one more thing before we get
Speaker 2: to your thing. I know we're about to talk about
Speaker 2: the UFO hearing as they had the other day. I
Speaker 2: as a guy who listens to lots of podcasts and
Speaker 2: reads tons of stuff, I've noticed the change in the
Speaker 2: last couple of years. There are way more of your
Speaker 2: super smart people saying I think there's a decent chance
Speaker 2: we are the only life in the universe, as opposed
Speaker 2: to like my whole life where it was now, that'd
Speaker 2: be crazy to think that. Now they're the super educated
Speaker 2: people who spend their lives on this, there's like a
Speaker 2: backlash to that, Like, no, there's very good reason to
Speaker 2: believe we are the only life that exists in the universe.
Speaker 3: I've got to admit, having been convinced of the other
Speaker 3: point of view from my whole life, I find that
Speaker 3: counter into it been difficult to buy, but I haven't
Speaker 3: dug into it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, look, you know, just like search it on
Speaker 2: YouTube you'll find MIT professors talking going through the reasons
Speaker 2: why they think that's quite possibly because it's just very
Speaker 2: very difficult and takes a whole bunch of extraordinary things
Speaker 2: to occur. Yeah, temperature water. Nobody's exactly sure how life
Speaker 2: started anyway, but maybe there's just none anywhere, Katie.
Speaker 3: Your gut reaction, Oh, I for sure think there's like
Speaker 3: aliens or something.
Speaker 2: I'm sure something well, and the other I'll let you
Speaker 2: argue with the MIT professor with that they're hiding something.
Speaker 2: I totally think for sure there's life somewhere. I tend
Speaker 2: to be on your side.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and the other thing that I, you know,
Speaker 3: tended to forget about until I took a college class
Speaker 3: on This was an unbelievably easy class. I mean, home man,
Speaker 3: talk about an easy a. You hardly had to fogg
Speaker 3: a mirror anyway. But it was super interesting and fun.
Speaker 3: But you know, in the history of the globe, which is,
Speaker 3: you know, couple of billions a year whatever it is,
Speaker 3: human beings have existed for like well, just life in
Speaker 3: general has existed for like a blink of that time.
Speaker 1: And so not only would.
Speaker 3: You have to have you know, life here and then
Speaker 3: there's some here and then way over there, but it
Speaker 3: would have to exist at the same time across billions
Speaker 3: of years, right, that's Elon, But I'm aware of each other,
Speaker 3: that's Elon.
Speaker 2: Musk's point is that unless you are inter multiplanetary species,
Speaker 2: which is why he wants to get us to Mars,
Speaker 2: there's almost no chance of your surviving because there's a
Speaker 2: you know, there's a time limit on all planets for
Speaker 2: where it's going to be too hot or too cold
Speaker 2: for the life to continue. So again, there could have
Speaker 2: been life, maybe maybe a very long you know, one
Speaker 2: hundred million years ago or one hundred million years from now,
Speaker 2: but the idea that there's intelligent life somewhere right now
Speaker 2: that could reach us is very very low.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating topic, no doubt. But getting back to my
Speaker 3: charming introduction. Take me to your leaders big hearing the
Speaker 3: other day in the United States Congress.
Speaker 2: I like that version of interplanetary. Yeah, there's plenty of life.
Speaker 2: It's close by. They can immediately come here. They speak English,
Speaker 2: which is very handy. Well, they have translators. It's good
Speaker 2: they had Google Translate before Google. Did I appreciate you
Speaker 2: learning the English language before you land? Come down and
Speaker 2: they have three fingers. Yeah, they're basically us, just slightly different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, always bald headed, always kind of translucent with smooth
Speaker 3: weird heads. Anyway, you know what, the old Star Trek
Speaker 3: was so great for aliens. I mean because they really
Speaker 3: tried hard with the technology of the time to be imaginative.
Speaker 3: It wasn't all you know, bald headed, et looking creatures.
Speaker 3: It was everything from like sparkles of energy to very
Speaker 3: humanoid to like hot green chicks.
Speaker 1: I mean, really ran the gamut.
Speaker 2: Of what with Mars attacks.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, great old movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So there's a hearing the other day Congressional panel
Speaker 3: what the House Oversight Committee.
Speaker 1: Evidently they oversee space aliens.
Speaker 3: But it's funny because this account in the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 3: which you'd think would be among the more sober accounts
Speaker 3: of this, just kind of glosses over all. Right, are
Speaker 3: we talking about freaking space aliens? Are we just talking
Speaker 3: about objects observed by military pilots that have not yet
Speaker 3: been identified?
Speaker 2: Do I think I think China has planes or drones
Speaker 2: that we don't know about and are hard to detect
Speaker 2: a freaking course, right?
Speaker 3: And or do we think that DARPA is developing weapons
Speaker 3: and reconnaissance aircraft and sometimes they try them out on
Speaker 3: our very guys to see if they can be detected
Speaker 3: and in what way and how quickly and that sort
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I think that. So the hearing.
Speaker 3: Wednesday by two House Oversight Subcommittee's latest in Congress is
Speaker 3: push for transparent around UFOs, which seems like a terrible
Speaker 3: idea to me, for reasons I'll get into. Witnesses have
Speaker 3: alleged that they've seen aerial phenomena exhibiting qualities that defy explanation,
Speaker 3: that the US government has taken steps to shield what
Speaker 3: it knows. And you've got Nancy Mayce, who's the hottie
Speaker 3: from South Carolina who about half the time strikes me
Speaker 3: as a really good congress person, then the other half
Speaker 3: of the time she strikes me as a nut. But
Speaker 3: she said she's the chairwoman of one of the subcommittees,
Speaker 3: said in her opening remarks that some people didn't want
Speaker 3: Wednesdays hearing to happen because they feared what might be disclosed.
Speaker 3: But we stood firm no amount of outside pressure would
Speaker 3: ever keep me from pursuing a subject. What if it's
Speaker 3: like highly classified weapons systems to keep us from being
Speaker 3: overrun by the Chinese commie horde, sweetheart, then would you
Speaker 3: disclose it to the public. Not good. Congress in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two held its first hearing on US what it
Speaker 3: now calls unidentified anomaloust phenomenon or UAPs.
Speaker 2: Again, why did they have to change?
Speaker 3: Or if there's like flying pigs, that would be well, no,
Speaker 3: I suppose that would be an identified anomalous phenomena.
Speaker 2: Hey, I know what that is. That's a flying pig.
Speaker 1: Oh when the hole wind pigs fly thing is now, I'll.
Speaker 3: Be damned, but identified? Yes, everybody keep cool. Since then,
Speaker 3: lawmakers in the public have heard from military and intelligence
Speaker 3: officers who've testified they've seen UAP and they could pose.
Speaker 1: Risks to national security.
Speaker 3: And the Pentagon did not respond to a request for
Speaker 3: comment on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just done.
Speaker 3: We're dealing with this as fast as we can can.
Speaker 3: We just keep kind of quiet about it all because
Speaker 3: we're developing counters to these Chinese spy tiny spy drones,
Speaker 3: and we don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Nancy.
Speaker 2: The other thing that has changed in my lifetime that
Speaker 2: makes sense, not only is there, you know, this newfound
Speaker 2: belief that maybe there is no other life in the universes.
Speaker 2: Why are we sending out signals to try to reach them?
Speaker 2: That stupid Stephen Hawking was the first person I heard
Speaker 2: say that, and then others have written books about it.
Speaker 2: That's the last thing you do if you're some tiny
Speaker 2: little beast in the weeds in Africa is like raise
Speaker 2: up your arms, say hey, any giant predators out there
Speaker 2: that are much bigger, stronger than meat that would like
Speaker 2: to kill me?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: Anybody I'm over here? Why would you do that? Why
Speaker 2: would you send out the you know, the the voyager
Speaker 2: that's still headed out into space and elons that went
Speaker 2: out a while back, with all kinds of trying to
Speaker 2: alert people that, hey, isuel a week plant over here?
Speaker 2: If you want to come kill us.
Speaker 3: We're made of meat, and we've got lots of natural resources.
Speaker 2: We're made of meat meat.
Speaker 3: I'm reminded of one of Henry Kissinger's descriptions of America
Speaker 3: and Americans. We're a big, friendly dog, and sometimes our
Speaker 3: tail knocks stuff and breaks it. But and you can,
Speaker 3: you know, cite this in looking at the way we
Speaker 3: deal with the Muslim world, in dealing with China for
Speaker 3: several decades, and there are several others examples of this.
Speaker 3: But we're we're nice people, Americans in large measure, we
Speaker 3: just want to be friends and do business.
Speaker 1: And so we have this idiotic.
Speaker 3: Assumption that everybody else just wants to be friends and
Speaker 3: do business, including space aliens.
Speaker 1: Right there on Flutron five, Hey do you want to.
Speaker 2: Be our friend? Do you want to be our friends?
Speaker 1: Sap?
Speaker 3: Well, no, we'd like to eat your resources.
Speaker 2: That their ray gun. They just zap you with their
Speaker 2: ray gun.
Speaker 1: This is what happens, No words necessary.
Speaker 2: What happened in the horror movie Signs. They started communicating
Speaker 2: with the aliens through a baby monitor and everybody died. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the idea that that would automatically somehow benefit humanity if
Speaker 2: we did contact a almost certainly superior life format. How
Speaker 2: why would you assume that that's really weird that we
Speaker 2: ever thought that, let alone it being the consensus of view.
Speaker 1: It's a very American thing to do, it is.
Speaker 3: The Pentagon has previously said there is no evidence that
Speaker 3: UFO sightings are alien spacecraft.
Speaker 1: Thank god, I don't.
Speaker 3: Not since having achieved arguably manhood, have I spent much
Speaker 3: time at all thinking about space alien craft. No, absol
Speaker 3: not it's it's it's advanced military technologies from ours and
Speaker 3: other governments. Obviously, now some okay, all right, hey, you
Speaker 3: know me, mister, I want to hear the opposing point
Speaker 3: of view.
Speaker 1: You think it may be.
Speaker 2: A cigar shaped silvery spaceship.
Speaker 1: Is that what you could be?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking. The saucer coming down with the beam,
Speaker 2: got the beam picked you up, probed you, maybe ainly,
Speaker 2: and I haven't thought.
Speaker 3: So always part of it, Yeah, so much probing, always
Speaker 3: part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, some of the like miraculous stops and starts and
Speaker 3: changes the direction and speed that they've observed in these
Speaker 3: craft is I've got to admit it. It looks to
Speaker 3: be beyond terrestrial technology. But the fact that I can't
Speaker 3: come up with the explanation, partly because I'm not a
Speaker 3: physicist nor a DARPA scientist or whatever, does not mean well,
Speaker 3: you gotta go to space aliens the next step.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: That's well, if if the professional you know, commentator can't
Speaker 3: nail down what it is, it must be space aliens. No,
Speaker 3: maybe it's some ability to distort and deceive radar systems
Speaker 3: and you know whatever other technologies the jet fighters use
Speaker 3: and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: But God, we should have dug up the best of
Speaker 2: Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live when she gets, you know,
Speaker 2: probed by the aliens, and she'd always puts funny joke. Oh,
Speaker 2: they had me strapped up and they looked me over
Speaker 2: from my cooder to my tutor before they let me
Speaker 2: back down.
Speaker 3: Sure, one hundred and five euphemisms for the female parts,
Speaker 3: just absolutely hilarious. Hey remember when the guy told everybody
Speaker 3: to storm Area fifty one online and they took him
Speaker 3: serious and it was just a party outside everyone every fifty.
Speaker 1: One on Gates. Yeah, that was a good time.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.
