00:03:40.720aerospace programs, and classified projects.
00:03:43.580That's definitely something I think this government
00:03:45.320administration would deem worth looking into. McCaslin's disappearance has drawn a lot of
00:03:50.240attention because at one point he worked inside an Air Force base in Ohio, long rumored to house
00:03:55.420extraterrestrial debris despite repeated Air Force denials. And his wife wrote on Facebook,
00:04:01.740it seems quite unlikely that he was taken to extract very dated secrets from him.
00:04:09.920Now, whenever there's a confusing and alarming story like this, the worst thing you can do
00:04:15.120as a media organization is broadcast a superficial drive-by report, and that's exactly what NBC just
00:04:21.780did in that clip we played. If you're going to suggest that shadowy assassins are taking out
00:04:26.280American scientists, or might be, then you can't spend 60 seconds on the topic and then move on.
00:04:31.320It's too important for that kind of treatment. Now, to be clear, this is obviously a story worth
00:04:37.260pursuing, looking into. It's also a story that's extremely easy for media outlets to mess up. For
00:04:42.640the most part, they want the number of dead or missing scientists to keep increasing because
00:04:47.460that creates more drama. And as a result, they're not doing a deep dive into each one. Instead,
00:04:53.060they're making you think that every single case is equally suspicious, which just isn't true.
00:04:58.380There's a lot of distraction going on here for one reason or another, and it's drawing attention
00:05:02.300away from the cases that deserve a second look. So today we're going to go one by one through all
00:05:09.040of these cases, all the scientists who have allegedly been killed or who died under suspicious
00:05:14.140circumstances. We'll talk about everyone who was just mentioned the NBC report and many others.
00:05:20.480And we'll do our best to look at it objectively and figure out if there might be something going
00:05:26.520on here. So we'll start with Amy Eskridge, because on the surface, she's the most disturbing case.
00:05:32.580Although when you dig into it, there are a lot of issues with the narrative that's circulating
00:05:37.320around. So Amy Eskridge died in Huntsville, Alabama, on June 11, 2022, at the age of 34.
00:05:45.420The cause of death was a gunshot to the head, which was determined to be suicide. Shortly before
00:05:50.500her death in 2020, Eskridge claimed that she was preparing to present major findings on
00:05:55.540anti-gravity research, quote unquote, which has relevance to UFOs and their propulsion systems,
00:06:01.400although she needed approval from NASA. To this end, Eskridge started a now-defunct website called
00:06:06.440the Institute for Exotic Science, which she said would provide a public-facing persona to disclose
00:06:12.280anti-gravity technology. Eskridge was also involved in her father's company, Holocron
00:06:18.140Engineering, which was supposedly developing a triangle anti-gravity craft, although they didn't
00:06:24.360get very far. Anti-gravity research, for the record, is not an established branch of science,
00:06:29.200and Eskridge had no published papers in any peer-reviewed publication. Now, it's not to say
00:06:33.820that peer review is the most important thing, but it doesn't make it clear that she was not an
00:06:38.740established leading U.S. scientist or anything like that. Now, in any event, according to Eskridge,
00:06:47.600she was on the verge of a big breakthrough and somebody wanted to stop her. A month before her
00:06:51.980death, according to a UFO investigator named Frank Milburn, Eskridge reportedly sent a text
00:06:58.820message to a friend warning that her life was in danger. And the alleged text read in part,
00:07:06.920if you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report
00:07:11.640that I overdosed myself, I most definitely did not. The dominoes are being lined up all over again.
00:07:19.180Obviously, that's a very conspicuous thing for somebody to write shortly before they die of a
00:07:23.080gunshot wound to the head. On the one hand, it could indicate exactly what it says, that this
00:07:27.320person was being harassed by people who wanted her dead. On the other hand, you need context for
00:07:32.600a text message like that, because it's also possible that this woman was simply paranoid0.94
00:07:36.500and mentally unwell. And to make that determination, you need context. David Wilcock,
00:07:42.840the paranormal content creator, also repeatedly said that he wasn't suicidal. And according to
00:07:47.960police, he just shot himself on April 20th when they responded to a residence where he was located.
00:07:53.920So maybe you could fold that into this overall story or maybe not.
00:07:58.920So with that in mind, here's a podcast interview featuring Eskridge several years before her death in which she talks about how a suspicious Lexus pulled up near her apartment complex.
00:08:10.160She describes the apartment complex as low income and says that a high end blacked out Lexus is an unusual site in the parking lot.
00:08:18.340And supposedly this Lexus is part of the larger plan to harass her.
00:08:21.760and so you'd listen to this carefully and assess her credibility watch
00:08:26.100within two minutes of me saying hey we should walk over there later and take a picture of the
00:08:33.680license plate we were still standing there at the window looking at it talking about it
00:08:39.800and an eastern european looking mother with a black beanie dressed all in black in his 50s or 60s0.93
00:08:49.500walked out of the apartment directly across from ours holding a license plate
00:08:54.200and he opened the trunk of the Lexus and he took out some tools and he changed the license plate
00:09:01.420right in front of our faces and then he walked back to his apartment
00:09:07.240and he put the old license plate on the front patio and went inside left it outside and it was
00:09:16.760literally like come get the license plate I have more I have more where this came from come get the
00:09:23.480license plate and then after that the Lexus started tailing me and every time I saw the Lexus it had
00:09:30.020a different license plate it would be like Alabama plates a different state plate it would be random
00:09:36.060dealer plates none of which were local just like cardboard temporary dealer plates none of which
00:09:42.300were any local dealers. Every time I saw it, it was a different place. It would follow me to the
00:09:48.200gas station to go get beer. I would go get beer at the gas station and that Lexus follows me.
00:09:54.600And even my ex called an Uber once. He called an Uber. The Lexus pulled out from the spot across
00:10:04.680the parking lot from our apartment, drove over to our apartment and said, hey, I'm your Uber here
00:10:10.280to pick you up. The license matched in the Uber app, but they didn't have an Uber sticker or a
00:10:19.600Lyft sticker. You can't drive Uber if you don't have an Uber sticker. Like over the past, this
00:10:26.420has been going on for like, I don't know, four or five years. And over the past 12 months, it's
00:10:33.220been like escalating, escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive, digging through my
00:10:37.620painted like digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats over the past like three to
00:10:43.420six months. And now I'm like, I have to publish. I have to publish because like, it's only going
00:10:50.580to get worse until I publish. There's no way out of this. There's no way out of this situation
00:10:56.740until I publish. So the problem here is that, um, really what she's saying doesn't make
00:11:05.180much sense. I mean, there's no logical reason why somebody would do any of this. If she's a threat
00:11:09.840to somebody because of her research, it doesn't make much sense for them to send a Lexus and
00:11:13.820change its license plates in front of her or a moonlight as her Uber driver or break into her
00:11:19.380house or look through her underwear drawer. She also doesn't mention any police report or any
00:11:24.900surveillance footage or anything. She's asking us to take her word for all of this. And you might
00:11:31.260say, well, the Lexus driver is trying to intimidate her so that she doesn't publish her research.
00:11:35.180These people are supposedly sinister enough that they're capable of murdering her, and yet they held off for several years, hoping they could scare her by changing some license plates around.
00:11:47.340But if that's the case, you have to ask, why didn't she simply publish her groundbreaking research online?
00:11:52.260Why did she feel the need to wait for NASA or peer review or anything like that?
00:11:57.260Why would these shadowy figures allow her to talk about their pressure campaign online for years before they took her out?
00:12:05.960These are all important questions, and no major news outlets are remotely interested in answering them.
00:12:10.400One of the things you need to be careful about as you read stories about these scientists
00:12:13.300is that a lot of outlets are extremely sloppy with details.
00:12:17.760Many of them are probably using AI to generate their stories.
00:12:22.840For example, as you can see here, the Daily Mail reported, quote,
00:12:25.540Journalist Michael Schellenberger testified before a public hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena
00:12:30.840that Eskridge was murdered by a private aerospace company in the U.S.
00:12:35.180because she was involved in the UAP conversation.
00:12:39.420Now, when I read that quote, I did a double take
00:12:40.840because Michael Schellenberger is a serious journalist.
00:12:42.860We cite his work on the show all the time.
00:12:45.380And if he did the research and concluded that Eskridge
00:12:47.480had been murdered by a private aerospace company,
00:12:49.920then I'd be very inclined to at least take that story seriously.
00:12:55.200But if you pull up the actual testimony,
00:12:56.800Schellenberger didn't say anything like that.
00:12:59.000The attribution is just completely wrong.
00:18:30.840Nor does it make much sense for someone to use a Tesla to kill him since Teslas have cameras that are constantly recording.
00:18:36.560And while the family has their concerns, it's also possible that they're mistaken.
00:18:39.520But given the circumstances, you'd think the authorities would have investigated and come up with some kind of explanation for what LeBlanc was doing and why he would have left his phone behind.
00:18:48.500Normally, it's not hard to figure out these kinds of basic details.
00:18:51.320But in this case, none of those details have been forthcoming.
00:18:54.280Maybe now that it's getting more attention, that that will change.
00:18:56.660And then there's another case NBC mentioned, the disappearance of 68-year-old U.S. Air Force Major General William Neal McCaslin. And this is where the cases are worth paying more attention to.
00:19:11.620Now, unlike Eskridge, McCaslin had an established scientific career.
00:19:16.920According to the New York Post, he served in senior Pentagon roles involving nuclear science, space research, and defense initiatives.
00:19:24.100He also commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory at New Mexico's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where wreckage from the 1947 Roswell crash was purportedly shipped.
00:19:35.520During his career, McCaslin also oversaw research at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, which was famous for its work developing the first atomic bomb.
00:19:45.000And Congressman Eric Burleson of Missouri says that he had contacted McCaslin concerning his research into UFOs.
00:19:51.080And according to the Post, quote, McCaslin also appears in the WikiLeaks dump of Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's emails.
00:19:57.620Former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge was in frequent contact with Podesta regarding UFOs and identified McCaslin as his insider source on alien intel.
00:20:09.080Leech's calendar notification showed a meeting scheduled between Podesta, DeLonge, and McCaslin on January 24th, 2016.
00:20:18.540Now, on February 27th of this year, McCaslin, an experienced hiker, left his home in Albuquerque without his phone or prescription glasses.
00:20:26.480All he took with him, apparently, was his wallet and his hiking boots and a .38 revolver.
00:20:32.320Now, before leaving at 10 a.m., he spoke to repairmen at his home.
00:20:36.600His wife left for a doctor's appointment at 11 a.m., 11.10 a.m., to be precise.
00:20:41.280And by the time she returned an hour later, he was missing.
00:20:44.560A couple hours later, his wife called 911.
00:21:55.220Has he been diagnosed with any mental disorders or anything like that?
00:22:00.160Well, we've been seeing a doc for both physical and mental in terms of anxiety, short-term memory loss, lack of sleep.
00:22:11.400the same doc i went to see today other than saying if his brain and body keep deteriorating
00:22:19.560he didn't want to live like that but it seemed to me that was just a man i hate how this is going
00:22:27.060kind of thing because i told him yes you do yes you do okay we're going to send some deputies up
00:22:32.940to talk to you see if we can search a little bit and see what's going on okay sure so he has both
00:22:37.800mental and physical issues. He's retired. He's given indications that he might not want to
00:22:41.560continue on with his life, tragically, and his wife believes he doesn't want to be found,
00:22:46.560and he left with a gun. Now, the police dispatched a helicopter with an infrared scanner to try to
00:22:50.620find him, but they said it was too hot outside for the scanner to be useful. Quote, the mountain was
00:22:55.440just lit up like a candle, a sheriff said. We couldn't differentiate from heat signatures
00:22:59.400and the heat from the rocks. So again, the simplest explanation is clear. You can easily
00:23:04.760make the case that in all likelihood this elderly man with mental health problems may have committed
00:23:09.780suicide or become incapacitated while he was on a hike or attacked by an animal or fallen or any
00:23:16.480number of possibilities. There aren't any indications that he was actively involved in any
00:23:20.300high-level research or was on the verge of any kind of breakthrough at all. What makes this case
00:23:25.300interesting is that in a relatively short period of time, several other people with connections to
00:23:29.020national laboratories basically went missing the same way. Within around 10 months, they all
00:23:34.740disappeared without taking their cell phones with them. Some of them had weapons. So let's go through
00:23:40.160those cases, starting with 78-year-old Anthony Chavez, a research and development engineer who
00:23:45.140also worked at Los Alamos. Spent most of his career working on a dual-axis radiographic
00:23:50.980Hydrodynamic Test Facility, which is involved in nuclear weapons research. And Chavez had
00:23:58.620long retired. He hasn't been working since 2017. Unlike McCaslin, Chavez was last seen leaving his
00:24:04.660home on foot with his car parked in the driveway. Only unlike McCaslin, Chavez left behind his
00:24:10.060wallet. He was reported missing in May of 2025 and still has not been located, despite an extensive
00:24:15.920search for him. And then three months after Chavez disappeared, 48-year-old contractor
00:24:21.460Steven Garcia also went missing. And he disappeared in pretty much the same way. He was last seen on
00:24:28.460August 28th, leaving his home in Albuquerque at 9 a.m., carrying only his gun, leaving his wallet
00:24:33.420and his keys behind. Police said they had some reason to believe that he may have been a danger
00:24:37.840to himself watch this one is chilling to me because as you said it echoes neil mccaslin's
00:24:46.440disappearance right down to the same thing the same thing the state of new mexico so
00:24:50.800stephen garcia i mean he had a top security clearance at casey nsc is that is that per a
00:24:56.460source though a source said that this is per a source um yes per a source that was close to
00:25:01.360Garcia. But look, where he worked at KCNSC, I mean, they manufacture 80 percent of non-nuclear
00:25:08.300components that go into building military nuclear weapons. And I mean, he oversaw tens of millions
00:25:15.760of dollars of assets, equipment, some classified, some not. I mean, we don't know what was going on
00:25:22.080in this guy's head, right? The officials had said that he may have been a danger to himself.
00:25:27.760He was seen carrying a gun. And it sounds crazy. But between Garcia and General McCaslin, I have to wonder.
00:25:36.080And again, I know this sounds crazy, but it could be an option here.
00:25:39.600I mean, is is the government doing this? Are are they taking out their own people because of X, Y, Z?
00:25:48.060Now, the Albuquerque facility of the Kansas City National Security Campus manufactures most of the non-nuclear components that are used in weapons.
00:25:55.700at the same time, a property custodian isn't the most essential employee in that facility. So it's
00:26:01.000not clear to anyone why he would be a potential target for any reason. But again, the similarity
00:26:07.020of these disappearances is striking. And there's another disappearance to add to the list, the case
00:26:12.360of 53-year-old Melissa Cassius, who also worked at Los Alamos. And Melissa Cassius was not a UFO
00:26:21.800researcher or a nuclear weapons expert, she was an administrative assistant. There was no indication
00:26:26.580one way or another that she had access to sensitive information or research at all.
00:26:31.680She was last seen in June of 2025 entering her car in the afternoon after shopping downtown.
00:26:36.760She reportedly dropped lunch off for her daughter before saying she was going to work from home.
00:26:43.580It's the last site there you could see. Investigators have since recovered a pair of
00:26:47.460shoes that match the ones that she was wearing. They've also discovered that
00:26:50.500her phone has been factory reset. But based on this information, if we're being honest,
00:26:56.060there are about 10 million explanations for why she might be missing. The most likely explanation,
00:27:00.960of course, is that she was attacked by a criminal who had no idea where she worked.
00:27:05.700And when that happens, contrary to what you might see on television, it's actually not easy for
00:27:09.520police to figure out who did it. I mean, think about the Nancy Guthrie case, which is still
00:27:14.420unsolved. If the FBI can't find out what happened to Nancy Guthrie, then the odds are low that
00:27:20.220anyone's going to be able to track down a random administrative assistant. People are much, much
00:27:26.600less safe than we might like to think. It's one of the reasons we have the Second Amendment.
00:27:32.880But the fact that we have so many people, all of them affiliated with national laboratories at one
00:27:37.920point or another, all disappearing in a relatively short frame of time is obviously worth further
00:27:44.880investigation. That said, we do have to acknowledge that sometimes people die in strange ways.
00:27:51.680Sometimes people kill themselves. Sometimes people who say they aren't suicidal and they're
00:27:57.080not going to kill themselves do. In fact, that happens a lot. Sometimes they trip and fall while
00:28:03.500they're hiking. And sometimes these people tend to live near each other and work in the same kinds
00:28:07.960of places. Los Alamos alone employs well over 10,000 staffers. It's not unreasonable to think
00:28:13.180to two or three of them over the course of more than a year might become suicidal, independent
00:28:17.500of one another. Recall that after January 6th, several Capitol police officers committed suicide.
00:28:23.720In fact, within months of January 6th, four officers killed themselves. The media tried to
00:28:28.180link that to January 6th itself. They were claiming that these all counted towards that
00:28:33.820day's death toll, a death toll that was actually just one, Ashley Babbitt. Now, in that case,
00:28:39.940the attempt to draw a connection was absurd. Is this another example of that sort of thing,
00:28:46.360of an erroneous connection being drawn in order to prop up a media narrative?
00:28:52.040In the case of January 6th, the media narrative was driven by politics, of course. In this case,
00:28:58.040is it driven by, if it is just a narrative, is it being driven by ratings, by clicks?
00:29:03.820We don't know yet. But let's keep going because there are more names to get through. And I
00:29:08.820promised that we would go through this objectively and just give you all the facts. So we'll continue
00:29:13.900to do that. And again, some of them are worth a closer look. Fox reports that, quote, NASA
00:29:18.600materials engineer Monica Reza, who served as director of the materials processing group at
00:29:23.560the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also remains missing after disappearing during a hike in
00:29:29.640California in June 2025. Reza is one of four cases that are linked to Los Angeles County,
00:29:35.420including Caltech's Carl Grillmare and two other jet propulsion lab experts, Frank Mywald and
00:29:42.780Michael David Hicks. So let's take these in turn, starting with Reza, who incidentally or not,
00:29:47.400worked on projects that were overseen by McCasland at one point. So the local Fox affiliate reports
00:29:53.820that, quote, Reza disappeared while hiking with a friend near Mount Waterman in the Angeles
00:29:58.840National Forest. According to her companion, they were roughly 30 feet apart when they made eye
00:30:03.340contacts. She smiled and waved to indicate that she was fine. Moments later, when the friend
00:30:07.880turned around again, she had vanished. She disappeared in June of 2025, and her body still
00:30:13.420has not been found, despite an extensive search and recovery effort. Right away, we should be
00:30:18.360able to point out the obvious, which is that it's extremely unlikely that a CIA assassin
00:30:21.880snatched her during this hike. I mean, if you're going to run an operation like that,
00:30:26.120it's probably a good idea to do it when the target is alone, not right next to their friend.
00:30:30.220And so, again, the default assumption here should be that she fell off a ravine or something like that.
00:30:35.380I mean, that's the Occam's razor. That's the simplest possible explanation.
00:30:39.420But the other missing scientists from Los Angeles County scientists are a little harder to explain away.
00:30:45.560So here is Carl Grillmere, the Caltech scientist.
00:30:48.560He was 67 years old, specialized in astrophysics at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center on campus.
00:31:15.180The Caltech campus is in mourning tonight after a renowned astrophysicist was killed during a carjacking.
00:31:21.660Carl Grillmeier was described as a brilliant man, a man who helped us better understand our own planet and the vast universe that surround us.
00:31:29.720CBS LA's Hunter Sowers live at Caltech in Pasadena with the very latest on this story.
00:31:36.480Juan, Susie, Carl was known here on this campus for his humor and for his creativity.
00:31:41.980Those I spoke to today said this is not only a huge loss for loved ones, it's a huge loss for the entire field of science.
00:31:51.660Shock and sadness on the campus of Caltech as colleagues mourn the loss of groundbreaking astrophysicist and astronomer Carl Grilmeier.
00:32:00.860We are shocked. This was so unexpected. Carl was full of life.
00:32:05.140The 67-year-old killed Sunday in the Antelope Valley, spent decades devoted to understanding the galaxies,
00:32:11.600studying the Milky Way and making groundbreaking discoveries, helping scientists better understand our planet.
00:32:17.320According to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, they responded early Monday morning to a shooting in the town of Llano, southeast of Palmdale.
00:32:24.220They say around the same time, reports of a carjacking eventually led them to the suspect accused of shooting Gromire,
00:32:30.920who was quickly arrested and charged with murder and carjacking.
00:32:34.740The suspect who allegedly shot the scientist before apparently carjacking someone has been identified as 29-year-old Freddy Snyder.
00:32:41.840Good luck finding a picture of him. For some reason, the authorities haven't released one.
00:32:47.320If they did release one, it's hard to find.
00:32:50.200According to local reports, Snyder had been arrested several months earlier for trespassing on Grillmare's property while armed with a rifle.
00:32:59.960But hearing these facts, it's hard not to think of the murder of MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loreiro in front of his home in a Boston suburb.
00:33:10.800As you as you probably remember, a gunman shot the professor after killing two students at Brown University.
00:33:16.080In that case, it was pretty clear that the killer was upset that his career was a failure, and he blamed Brown while also harboring jealousy for the professor's success.
00:33:24.680At the same time, the Brown shooter did kill himself, so we don't have a definitive understanding of his motive either.
00:33:31.380And some of these lists mention Michael David Hicks, who died in July of 2023.
00:33:35.180I've seen his name come up at NewsNation, New York Post, Newsweek, and other outlets.
00:33:39.560He was a veteran researcher at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for more than two decades.
00:33:43.220There's no indication of how he died exactly, so there's not much to go on. No cause of death has been released. For all we know, he might have been hit by a car or died of a heart attack. A lot of outlets are adding his name and picture to other lists of missing or dead scientists, which tells you something, that a lot of them are trying to pad the statistics a bit.
00:34:01.080We're trying to sell a narrative that may not be entirely true, and many of these outlets don't really care if it's true or not because they want the narrative.
00:34:26.620And so when something like this happens, it's not clear what the actual facts are.
00:34:31.840And that's why we're trying to lay them out.
00:34:34.260Now, the magazine Unheard ran its own deep dive recently into several of these missing scientists.
00:34:39.700And while they're more skeptical about the narrative, even than I am, they did include this paragraph on the origins of the story, which is pretty interesting.
00:34:47.600It's always important to try to figure out when everyone's talking about a particular topic, where it began exactly.
00:35:23.700Now, what's frustrating about this is that, indeed, there are several disappearances and deaths that are worth further investigation.
00:35:30.880I don't think any reasonable person can deny that.
00:35:33.560We simply don't have many details about deaths that are obviously suspicious and that involve very high-level scientists, including retired scientists.
00:35:42.880But by the same token, no reasonable person can deny that the tabloids and even some major media outlets that function as tabloids are mainly interested in turning this whole story into a circus.
00:35:52.860They're adding names to the list that obviously don't belong just so they can create paranoia and drive clicks.
00:35:58.220And in the process, they're distracting from some actual investigations that need to happen,
00:36:02.520particularly investigations into LeBlanc, McCaslin, Chavez, Garcia, and Cassius.
00:36:09.000And show us the picture of the man who killed the Caltech scientist.
00:36:11.860Otherwise, as usual, a legitimate story is at risk of being derailed, whether deliberately or not.
00:38:34.680Yesterday we talked at some length about the false flag operation that took place in Charlottesville at the Unite the Right rally during Trump's first term.
00:38:42.700It was well-funded, well-organized, highly effective.
00:38:45.600The whole thing was engineered to give Democrats a pretext to suspend civil liberties, which they did.
00:38:52.000We might choose to believe that these kinds of operations don't take place on American soil, but they do all the time.
00:38:58.900At the same time, you have to be willfully blind to think that intelligence agencies, including potentially our own,
00:39:04.860wouldn't want to make certain people disappear, or at the very least, they might lie about what happened to those people.
00:39:12.120Just the other day, for example, we were told that two CIA officers died in a tragic and very strange car crash in Mexico.
00:39:21.320This is what Mexican authorities say was a massive drug lab hidden in the woods.
00:39:26.420You can see rows of canisters, bags and ovens.
00:39:29.640A rare look inside a secret meth lab in northern Mexico.
00:39:33.520But tonight, what happened after the law enforcement operation is raising questions about U.S. involvement in the crackdown.
00:39:39.640A source with knowledge of the matter tells NBC News two CIA officers, along with two Mexican officials, died following the operation this weekend in a car accident.
00:39:49.840Mexico's president, Claudio Sheinbaum, is promising a thorough investigation.
00:39:55.900So this is like the line from Mission Impossible about how the U.S. government will disavow all knowledge if you're caught or killed.
00:40:01.980Everyone knows those CIA agents did not die in a car crash, but that's the cover story the U.S. government is going with.
00:40:08.460And again, it happens all the time. And for that reason, we simply cannot be satisfied with the information we have so far about these missing or dead scientists.
00:40:19.280We don't know what's going on. It would be nice if I could end this monologue by saying, well, I've gotten to the bottom of it.
00:40:26.140Here's what's really happening. That would make for a better title anyway.
00:40:30.320Gotten to the bottom of this story. I haven't gotten to the bottom of it. I don't know.
00:41:00.740Most of them will be way off the mark.
00:41:03.220And in that environment, when an intelligence agency does take out one of its targets, no one, even the most discerning observer, will have any way of knowing.
00:41:15.660That will do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. Godspeed.
00:41:21.560I do believe that if people have committed treason against the United States of America,
00:41:34.860their statues should not be in the Capitol.
