Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - What are These Mystery Drones? Plus Inside the Swamp’s CR. Interview with Lue Elizondo | TRIGGERED Ep.200

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:06:22.000 Today we're bringing back UFO and UAP expert, former Army Counterintelligence Agent Lou Elizondo.

00:06:30.000 With these mysterious drones in New Jersey, New York, all over the country, and now all over the world in the news every day, we figured Lou would be perfect to separate fact from fiction.

00:06:42.000 First, We were told they were Iranian.

00:06:45.000 Then maybe Chinese. 0.97

00:06:46.000 Then some statements from the DHS and FBI that no one really believes or understands.

00:06:51.000 And then a whole bunch of different videos popped up, raising even more questions.

00:06:57.000 So we're going to get into all of that.

00:08:19.000 And now let's get into some of the top headlines of the day.

00:08:24.000 We begin with the mysterious drones being spotted across New Jersey and elsewhere.

00:08:29.000 What are they?

00:08:30.000 Whose are they?

00:08:31.000 And what are they actually doing?

00:08:34.000 These so-called questions that the so-called experts and government officials seemingly don't want to answer.

00:08:41.000 But don't worry.

00:08:43.000 According to the FBI, DHS, and other really trustworthy agencies, everything is totally fine.

00:08:52.000 Doesn't matter if we can see thousands of drones flying over private airspace or over airports that would never be allowed to have other drones over.

00:08:59.000 Doesn't mean, doesn't matter that we don't know where they're coming from and we see, we can't track where they're from.

00:09:04.000 It doesn't matter that some people can have a seven-foot drone hovering over their heads, but you can't actually hear it.

00:09:09.000 And then they disappear in a blink of an eye.

00:09:12.000 It doesn't matter.

00:09:13.000 In a three-hour briefing with the House Intelligence Committee earlier this week, intelligence officials insist there is nothing nefarious about the drone invasion.

00:09:23.000 But the fact remains that mysterious drones have been all over the sky and we aren't exactly getting a lot of information about what they are doing or what they may be looking for.

00:09:35.000 The drone sightings began in mid-November and were hovering over my father's place in Bedminster, New Jersey.

00:09:42.000 And now, state and local officials are pressuring the federal government to take actual action for a change, or to at least give some guidance on exactly what's going on.

00:09:53.000 That seems pretty reasonable.

00:09:55.000 It's not what they're doing, though.

00:09:56.000 And let's be honest, with this outgoing administration, does anyone really trust what we're being told or what might have been said during a briefing?

00:10:05.000 We're going to get into all of this and much more with Lou and get a clearer picture of the actual facts.

00:10:12.000 That's coming up.

00:10:13.000 But also, sadly, some in the swamp are trying to get away with more business as usual. 0.98

00:10:21.000 They're ignoring the mandate from the American people to end that crap because it's all they have. 0.94

00:10:27.000 It's the end of the year, and yet again, Congress is trying to rush through a massive disaster 1,500-page CR to fund the government through spring. 0.93

00:10:37.000 Now, they put it out, gives you a day to read 1,500 pages with a lot of detail, so no one actually checks, no one's actually read it, no one knows exactly what's in it, but that doesn't matter.

00:10:48.000 We were told it would be a clean CR, but from what we've been learning, it's packed with pork.

00:10:54.000 It's packed with waste.

00:10:56.000 We're doubling up and tripling up on things, basically bribing other congressmen with little...

00:11:01.000 Pet projects so that they vote for this thing.

00:11:04.000 You can't one day be all about Doge and then also be about this.

00:11:11.000 I'm talking to you, Republicans from the swamp.

00:11:15.000 You can't put this square in that circle.

00:11:19.000 It doesn't work.

00:11:20.000 You can't have it both ways.

00:11:22.000 The American people want answers.

00:11:24.000 I know Congress wants to get home for Christmas and then rush this stuff at the last minute before we can find what's actually in it.

00:11:31.000 Remember Nancy Pelosi?

00:11:33.000 You just gotta vote for it.

00:11:35.000 Then we'll figure out what's actually in it.

00:11:36.000 And as Senator Mike Lee pointed out, What do RFK Stadium, $50 billion for Big Pharma, and new Smithsonian museums have to do for Americans devastated by the hurricanes?

00:11:51.000 Seemingly nothing, but I guess...

00:11:53.000 That's how you get people to actually act and do what's right for the American public and the constituency that many of them actually represent.

00:12:01.000 Meanwhile, with just over a month until my father's inauguration, the transition team is moving full speed ahead on getting this country back on track on day one.

00:12:10.000 And that of course includes mass deportations and securing the border.

00:12:16.000 You remember Aurora, Colorado, guys?

00:12:18.000 Hmm.

00:12:19.000 That's the city in Colorado that has been terrorized by the illegal Venezuelan immigrant gang, Trendy La Agua. 0.97

00:12:28.000 Okay?

00:12:29.000 They took over an apartment complex, but it was only a couple buildings, folks, according to people in the mainstream media.

00:12:34.000 What difference does it make?

00:12:35.000 They were extorting and beating up residents.

00:12:37.000 But the media told us not to worry about it.

00:12:40.000 Obviously, that was prior to an election because they understand maybe the American public doesn't think it's great for Venezuelan drug gangs to be taking over civilian American buildings and kicking out their residents.

00:12:51.000 I mean, you would think that'd be something they'd care about, but sadly, they didn't.

00:12:55.000 They said it was fake news and that there was no illegal immigrant gang threat.

00:13:00.000 As always, we were right and the media was wrong.

00:13:04.000 They were just doing the bidding of the Deep State and the Democrat Party.

00:13:10.000 Fourteen gang members linked to Trenelagua were arrested at that same apartment complex this week.

00:13:16.000 Watch this great video from Byron Donald's office explaining exactly what's going on here.

00:13:21.000 Senator Vance, I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happened.

00:13:25.000 I'm going to stop you.

00:13:26.000 The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns.

00:13:37.000 A handful of problems.

00:13:40.000 Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?

00:13:43.000 Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris' open border. 0.79

00:13:52.000 Americans are so fed up with what's going on.

00:13:56.000 We're in Colorado now.

00:13:57.000 This is a live look now.

00:13:58.000 The sun is up there in that state and police have now detained 14 people and reported armed home invasion.

00:14:04.000 That's the same apartment complex where a lot of people were complaining about the armed Venezuelan gang members roaming the halls.

00:14:11.000 Reports indicate that investigators said that several suspects entered the apartment and had two people inside.

00:14:18.000 The suspects then reportedly moved the victims to another apartment complex Or rather, another unit on the property where police said they were found threatened and bound.

00:14:28.000 An adult man sustained a non-life-threatening stab wound.

00:14:33.000 Now, as we've told you, on their way out, the Biden administration is doing everything possible, everything they can to create as many headaches as possible. everything they can to create as many headaches as possible.

00:14:51.000 And we're now learning that the Biden administration swamp is attempting to help shield illegal immigrants from accountability. 0.63

00:15:00.000 They're literally auctioning off tons and tons of steel bollards for the border wall.

00:15:06.000 Steel that my father purchased that they didn't install because they wanted an open border.

00:15:11.000 And now they're trying to sell it off on pennies on the dollar to stop my father from being able to complete the wall.

00:15:19.000 What possible justification exists for doing that?

00:15:22.000 Didn't the American people look at the illegal immigration issue as one of the major forces just a few weeks ago on November 5th?

00:15:30.000 On top of that, they're ushering in as many illegals as possible. 1.00

00:15:36.000 Check out this video from San Diego's border with Mexico.

00:15:39.000 All of these illegal immigrants you see are coming through an appointment by scheduled through Biden's CBP1 app.

00:15:48.000 This is happening every single day, and it will continue until January 20th.

00:15:58.000 CBP1 is heading in.

00:16:00.000 Thank you.

00:16:14.000 In that group of illegals, there are bound to be several criminals and even terrorists or two. 0.98

00:16:21.000 Recently, CPP arrested a terrorist shockingly already here in the country.

00:16:30.000 You can't make this up.

00:16:31.000 It's just like when they let in, what is it, 13,000 known murderers, 16,000 sex offenders and rapists, 600,000 criminals.

00:16:42.000 They truly don't care about Americans.

00:16:45.000 They just want guaranteed votes for Democrats.

00:16:48.000 We just heard tonight that a South African national on the FBI terror watch list was just arrested in New York.

00:16:58.000 How many more are out there?

00:17:00.000 But what do we know about this?

00:17:02.000 Yeah, so he was picked up in Brooklyn.

00:17:04.000 So he was initially arrested by Texas DPS back in September.

00:17:08.000 He crossed illegally near Eagle Pass, a little town called Normandy.

00:17:12.000 Texas troopers arrested him when he was sneaking through a private ranch.

00:17:16.000 He was with a group of other special interest aliens, some from Pakistan, some from other countries.

00:17:21.000 So Texas arrested him for a criminal trespass.

00:17:24.000 They handed him over to the custody of the federal government.

00:17:27.000 And then at some point, the feds released him.

00:17:30.000 And he made his way to New York.

00:17:32.000 And during that intermission point, they got a little more investigative material and said, oops, he's a match to the FBI's terror watch list.

00:17:39.000 We better go pick him up.

00:17:41.000 And then ICE and other federal agencies were able to find him in Brooklyn, in New York City.

00:17:46.000 He's now back in federal custody.

00:17:48.000 But how many times have we heard this now, Laura?

00:17:49.000 Again, there's an issue with the vetting.

00:17:51.000 They let him go.

00:17:52.000 And then some derogatory info pops up later on down the road.

00:17:55.000 They have to go find him again.

00:17:56.000 We have our work cut out for us over these next four years.

00:18:00.000 We have to stop the flow of illegals at the border and deport these criminals and terrorists that have been let in by Biden. 0.98

00:18:07.000 But some in the media apparently still think there's no crisis.

00:18:11.000 PolitiFact just came out with their lie of the year.

00:18:14.000 They claimed that the lie of the year was J.D. Vance and my father rightly pointing out that locals in Springfield, Ohio, had reported that Haitian immigrants were eating pets and wreaking havoc on the community.

00:18:28.000 What do you think was the lie of the year?

00:18:32.000 Was it Joe Biden saying he wouldn't pardon Hunter Biden?

00:18:36.000 Was it Tim Walsh saying he was in combat?

00:18:39.000 Or what about this moment from Joe Scarborough?

00:18:42.000 This one's a real gem.

00:18:46.000 But comparing that guy's mental state, I've said it for years now, he's cogent.

00:18:54.000 But I undersold him when I said he was cogent.

00:18:57.000 He's far beyond cogent.

00:18:59.000 In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically, because he's been around for 50 years.

00:19:11.000 And, you know, I don't know if people know this or not.

00:19:14.000 Biden used to be a hothead.

00:19:16.000 Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning. 1.00

00:19:20.000 Sometimes he would say things he didn't want to say.

00:19:22.000 This is...

00:19:24.000 And I don't really...

00:19:26.000 You know what?

00:19:26.000 I don't really care.

00:19:28.000 Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth. 0.97

00:19:31.000 And F you if you can't handle the truth.

00:19:35.000 This version of Biden...

00:19:40.000 Intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.

00:19:44.000 Not a close second.

00:19:45.000 And I've known him for years.

00:19:47.000 The Brzezinski's have known him for 50 years.

00:19:49.000 If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.

00:19:53.000 Remember, guys, it doesn't matter.

00:19:55.000 The lie of the year was something that was objectively right and on video, with people filing numerous reports to the police department and bringing it up at local town halls. 0.82

00:20:05.000 No, no, no.

00:20:06.000 That's the lie of the year.

00:20:08.000 Like all the lies that don't work for the Democrats, turns out to be true.

00:20:13.000 The best Biden ever?

00:20:15.000 The media just won't learn their lesson.

00:20:18.000 But they're not alone.

00:20:20.000 Because another issue our so-called leaders are still failing on is protecting girls' sports from the trans lunacy taking over our country. 1.00

00:20:31.000 For example, just last week, NCAA President Charlie Baker was on Capitol Hill.

00:20:38.000 And he can't explain why they let in men in girls' locker rooms.

00:20:43.000 He gets paid nearly $3 million a year and can't answer the question on everyone's mind.

00:20:51.000 Where is the courage from these so-called leaders?

00:20:55.000 Who should be actually in these leadership roles if they can't take a stand to protect actual women? 1.00

00:21:01.000 Watch this for yourself.

00:21:03.000 Have guidelines that instruct them what the best practices are, and your guidelines say that biological men can go in and use the women's locker rooms if they want to. 1.00

00:21:12.000 What the women want has nothing to do with it. 1.00

00:21:14.000 They're not mentioned in here at all.

00:21:16.000 Correct?

00:21:18.000 Correct.

00:21:18.000 It's right here.

00:21:19.000 You just reaffirmed them in May of this year.

00:21:21.000 I'm reading them.

00:21:21.000 I've got them.

00:21:22.000 I've got them off your website.

00:21:23.000 I believe our guidelines give people optionality with respect to how they choose to use their facilities.

00:21:30.000 What does that mean?

00:21:31.000 Optionality.

00:21:32.000 What it says is transgender student athletes will be able to use the locker room shower and toilet in accordance with their gender identity.

00:21:39.000 That means men will be able to use the women's locker rooms. 1.00

00:21:42.000 And as Riley Gaines and others have testified before this committee, that means if a man, a biological man, wants to use their locker room, they just have to accept it.

00:21:52.000 Or else the women have to go somewhere else. 1.00

00:21:55.000 They've got to go find an alternative.

00:21:56.000 Why is that fair?

00:21:57.000 We told the local folks who've hosted our tournaments they need to create accommodations for the people who are playing.

00:22:02.000 So it's the feds on the one hand, it's the locals on the other hand.

00:22:06.000 The only person who doesn't seem to bear any responsibility in this is you and the NCAA, who are the governing body.

00:22:12.000 And your testimony here today is you're not even subject to Title IX. Mr. Baker, I can't tell you how disappointed this makes me, but not just disappointed, frankly, infuriated for the student-athletes who are suffering because of your policies, and you won't even defend them.

00:22:25.000 You won't even take responsibility.

00:22:27.000 It's outrageous.

00:22:28.000 It's totally outrageous.

00:22:29.000 The Senate has expired.

00:22:31.000 I've been on this issue from the beginning, guys.

00:22:33.000 You know, mid-late 20-teens.

00:22:36.000 It's a real thing.

00:22:37.000 It's not popular with the people.

00:22:39.000 It's been subverted by the trans mafia so people actually think it means something and there's a lot more people actually for this thing than there are. 0.99

00:22:46.000 There was actually a story in the Daily Wire documenting how years ago I was talking about where this was all headed.

00:22:53.000 And I was exactly right.

00:22:55.000 And the good news is we can fix this come January 20th and stop the Biden Title IX overhaul and actually hold these schools and universities accountable.

00:23:06.000 And speaking of being right, we also learned recently that, yes, dozens of federal informants were present at the Capitol complex on January 6th.

00:23:18.000 I'm shocked.

00:23:19.000 I'm shocked.

00:23:20.000 There was a reason that Christopher Wray didn't want to release...

00:23:23.000 How many FBI agents or informants were actually in the Capitol building?

00:23:28.000 And if it was an insurrection, why didn't these people actually do something about it?

00:23:32.000 I mean, it seems like a big question that should be asked.

00:23:35.000 I'm sure they'll never answer it.

00:23:36.000 But we all know the answer intuitively already.

00:23:40.000 The inspector general found that 26 informants were in D.C. that day tasked with reporting on, quote, domestic terrorism subjects.

00:23:50.000 And yes, some of the informants did enter the restricted areas in and around the Capitol.

00:23:55.000 How many agents were also there?

00:23:57.000 How many gun-toting agents that could have actually stopped this from happening but seemingly allowed it were there?

00:24:03.000 Will we ever get the answers to that?

00:24:05.000 So how did the media cover it?

00:24:08.000 You'd think it would be obvious, but unfortunately it was obvious under the lens of which we all know.

00:24:15.000 Axios wrote a headline this week, quote, I mean, isn't this report, isn't it proof of the conspiracy we've all been talking about since January 6th?

00:24:35.000 And that's not all.

00:24:37.000 A House GOP report this week unveiled more evidence that Liz Cheney literally tampered with January 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, and the committee is now asking the FBI to investigate criminality.

00:24:52.000 Remember that Hutchinson was the one who made up the story about my father attacking the Secret Service, and he grabbed the steering wheel of the beast.

00:25:00.000 It was all made up.

00:25:01.000 Of course it was.

00:25:03.000 Did anyone really think that my father, what was it, 75 years old at the time?

00:25:09.000 Jumped from the back of a heavily guarded limo, beat the hell out of two young, well-armed, well-trained Secret Service agents who he happened to be good friends with to take over the beast.

00:25:22.000 By the way, if he actually did that, it would probably make me like him even more if he had the capability of doing that.

00:25:29.000 But it was sold to us as though it was the gospel.

00:25:32.000 It's insane.

00:25:34.000 Evidence uncovered by the House Committee revealed that evidence that Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Hutchinson, directly by secretly communicating with Hutchins without Hutchinson's attorney knowledge.

00:25:50.000 They carved out the lawyers because they knew they could manipulate more.

00:25:55.000 I mean, think about that.

00:25:56.000 That is criminal.

00:25:57.000 You think Liz Cheney's going to get the preemptive Joe Biden pardon so that they just... 1.00

00:26:02.000 You don't have to face any accountability?

00:26:04.000 I have a feeling we're going to see that, folks.

00:26:07.000 The report also found that the January 6th Select Committee neglected or withheld evidence from its final report and deleted voluminous records that it was supposed to preserve.

00:26:20.000 Remember that one with Russia, Russia, Russia? 0.88

00:26:22.000 How magically, what was it?

00:26:23.000 26 cell phones.

00:26:25.000 All of the information of all the people that were clearly setting this whole thing up.

00:26:28.000 It's gone.

00:26:30.000 It just disappeared, like that, in a blink of an eye.

00:26:33.000 Amazing!

00:26:33.000 I'm shocked to hear this, folks.

00:26:36.000 And there will be much more to come on all of that because we're still at just the tip of the iceberg on this corruption.

00:26:45.000 And lastly, if you needed any more reasons on why we need Doge, here it is.

00:26:51.000 A recent study found that only 6% of federal employees work from an office full-time.

00:26:58.000 We spend $16 billion, I believe it is, a year to operate government office buildings.

00:27:06.000 And yet, guys, they're largely empty.

00:27:09.000 A friend of mine had a meeting at the SEC where he showed up to the actual offices because they wanted to be in person.

00:27:16.000 And no one was there to the tune that they had a meeting in a dark room because no one even knew how to turn on the lights in the conference room.

00:27:25.000 That's how empty they are.

00:27:27.000 No one has any knowledge.

00:27:29.000 We're spending billions maintaining these things, paying for people who are working from home, probably walking their dogs and or taking side jobs.

00:27:36.000 And it's no big deal.

00:27:38.000 And a piece in the Daily Wire noted that even the head of the GSA, the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, works from home in, wait for it, folks, Missouri.

00:27:52.000 A far, far cry away from Washington, D.C., where they're supposed to be.

00:28:00.000 The work-from-home problem is so bad in the federal government that the water supply at the office of the EPA was left stagnant for so long that it developed dangerous levels of bacteria.

00:28:14.000 Think about that.

00:28:15.000 You can't make it up.

00:28:16.000 They're there so little that the EPA, the place that looks at probably bacteria and water, had bacteria in their water in their office because no one was ever there running the pipes.

00:28:30.000 You just can't make it up.

00:28:31.000 This has to stop. 0.69

00:28:33.000 Democrats are trying their hardest to lock in this ridiculous policy because it favors their bureaucrats who will keep doing their bidding. 0.99

00:28:40.000 And get this.

00:28:41.000 Biden recently signed a deal with Social Security Union to let 42,000.

00:28:49.000 42,000!

00:28:50.000 Okay, that's like a large stadium of government employees have a telework arrangement through 2029. Huh.

00:29:00.000 I wonder what exactly the purpose of that is.

00:29:03.000 It's all yet another reason why we need the cabinet picks confirmed swiftly to get the new administration staffed so we can get moving on cleansing out the waste and the rot inside our government.

00:29:18.000 And our interview with Lou is coming up in just moments.

00:29:22.000 In the meantime, check out the Birch Gold Group and diversify your savings.

00:29:26.000 Guys, with my father back in office, you're going to have more money in your paycheck.

00:29:30.000 That means you'll have more opportunities to plan for the future.

00:29:34.000 One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.

00:29:38.000 For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.

00:29:48.000 And this Christmas season, guys, convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in precious metals, and the Birch Gold Group will send you free silver coins directly to your home.

00:30:01.000 You just need to do it by December 20th.

00:30:04.000 To learn more, text, this is really easy, text DONJR, my initials, DONJR, Don Jr., to the number 989898 to claim your free no-obligation info kit on gold.

00:30:22.000 There's no obligation and it's free.

00:30:24.000 So what do you have to lose?

00:30:25.000 Text Don Jr., D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898 now.

00:30:33.000 Joining me now, author of the book, Imminent, Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs, the former head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation of UFOs, Lou Elizondo, is back with us.

00:30:48.000 We spoke a couple, like two, three months ago, Lou.

00:30:52.000 A lot's going on, obviously everything, but with the drones and all that stuff, but thank you so much for being back with us.

00:31:00.000 Well, it's my honor and privilege to be back with you and your wonderful audience.

00:31:03.000 Thank you so much.

00:31:04.000 Could not be more timely.

00:31:06.000 You know, obviously, I don't need to state the obvious.

00:31:09.000 There's a lot going on right now, I'm sure both within your circles and our circles as well.

00:31:14.000 So thank you very much for taking the time to cover this issue of drones.

00:31:17.000 It is very important.

00:31:19.000 Yeah, it's crazy what's going on.

00:31:21.000 I mean, it's so...

00:31:22.000 When they're like, there's nothing going on here.

00:31:25.000 I mean, I'm watching videos of drones flying over Newark, like hundreds of them.

00:31:28.000 If you look at the time lapse, I'm like, this isn't like...

00:31:30.000 That's airspace that you don't let something get into.

00:31:34.000 So maybe I'd want to start by trying to just...

00:31:37.000 Understand what's going on with this.

00:31:39.000 All these mysterious drone sightings, thousands of them.

00:31:42.000 What should we make of it?

00:31:44.000 We're not getting any clear answers from lawmakers or our intelligence agencies.

00:31:48.000 I mean, that's pretty nefarious in and of itself.

00:31:52.000 I mean, if this is something that's blown up to be such a public concern and everyone's like, it's fine, trust me.

00:31:59.000 You know, that's when I stop trusting anything.

00:32:03.000 I mean, is there anything that stands out to you?

00:32:05.000 Yeah, so, well, you're right.

00:32:06.000 First of all, the whole quote, trust me, bro, isn't going to fly, especially with the American people.

00:32:11.000 The American people have a pretty good BS meter, I think, as proof of their last decision, right?

00:32:19.000 So, maybe to help your audience out, kind of go back a little bit in history and go about...

00:32:24.000 Maybe talking about the drones from a historical perspective, specifically what I mean is five years ago, four years ago, in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, where a fleet of these very large drones, some even described as a quote-unquote mothership of other drones, smaller drones, We're seeing all over the place in Colorado, over censored military installations, local law enforcement, state law enforcement, all had videos and pictures of these things.

00:32:51.000 And even the FBI came in to investigate something very, very similar that we are now seeing here in New Jersey.

00:32:58.000 But the reality is, it's not just New Jersey.

00:33:01.000 This is becoming a global issue.

00:33:03.000 Um, there's a very good reporter named Ross Colthart out of Australia, who's reporting these incidents for some time now over sensitive military installations.

00:33:11.000 When I was, I just came back from London, maybe a week ago.

00:33:14.000 And over there, they had the same issue with drones over joint U S military UK bases, uh, that house some pretty sensitive stuff.

00:33:23.000 Um, so this is not, uh, something new that we're just now experiencing with these civilian drones.

00:33:23.000 We'll just say.

00:33:29.000 It looks like some of these are probably not civilian drones.

00:33:32.000 Some of them are very sophisticated.

00:33:35.000 So now, where are we today?

00:33:37.000 Well, over the last month, we started seeing drones over some very sensitive places like Langley Air Force Base.

00:33:44.000 Andrews Air Force Base, right?

00:33:45.000 So not just New Jersey.

00:33:47.000 We started seeing them in Florida, California, Oregon, even Air Traffic Control, ATC's got some very compelling recordings of these pilots seeing something in the sky that just simply doesn't make sense.

00:33:57.000 It's not showing up on radar, and it's not squawking a transponder code.

00:34:03.000 So in essence, these are vehicles flying in the dark, literally and figuratively, meaning there's no assigned sponsor to them.

00:34:11.000 So for the last month, we've been seeing these things now even over civilian major urban areas, populated areas like in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts.

00:34:20.000 And the administration, current administration, let me caveat, the current administration has been scrambling trying to find answers.

00:34:27.000 What are these things?

00:34:28.000 Some of them have been described as being typical quadcopter, like maybe your neighbor's kid might have, just taking some videos of the property or maybe a real estate agent.

00:34:37.000 But others are strangely...

00:34:40.000 Much different.

00:34:41.000 Some of these have been described as the size of an SUV, quite possibly much, much larger.

00:34:46.000 Some of these have been described as coming out of the water and then immediately taking off.

00:34:50.000 And then some of these have been described as, when being provoked, disappearing, quote-unquote, into thin air.

00:34:57.000 And that's not my quote.

00:34:59.000 That's the quote of some of these eyewitnesses.

00:35:02.000 They've been seen by law enforcement.

00:35:04.000 They've been acknowledged by the Department of Energy, acknowledged by the Department of Defense and the FBI that these things are occurring.

00:35:09.000 And then in the last 24 hours, we have seen a role reversal in strategic messaging by this administration.

00:35:18.000 Let's not forget that up to 24 hours ago, the government had admitted, yes, these are real.

00:35:23.000 They are probably not foreign adversarial and they're definitely not our equities.

00:35:26.000 When I say ours, I mean the United States.

00:35:29.000 Now you have this line where they're saying, oh, by the way, it's been after a month.

00:35:29.000 Yeah.

00:35:33.000 We figured everything out.

00:35:35.000 Everything are manned vehicles, legally flying drones, and law enforcement aircraft.

00:35:41.000 I think anybody who has any kind of common sense can look at this and realize this is a quote-unquote pass-the-buck situation.

00:35:48.000 And unfortunately, I think the administration is more comfortable allowing the new administration handling it than handling it themselves.

00:35:56.000 And I think that's a problem.

00:35:57.000 So that's where we are.

00:35:58.000 Yeah, I mean, I've seen it myself.

00:36:00.000 I mean, you know, when my father was president, I mean, I've used drones for years.

00:36:04.000 You know, I use them down in Florida.

00:36:05.000 Literally, we put out shark baits with them.

00:36:07.000 We put a little outrigger clip on it and run a bait further than you can cast a rod, so you're fishing from the beach.

00:36:11.000 And I tried doing that one time in front of Mar-a-Lago, and they're like, you know, no drones, it'll shut up.

00:36:16.000 I couldn't even get the drone started, but then they were like, I'm like, I can't, like, if I wanted to, you know, if I wanted to do something to my father, I'd have done it a long time ago, folks.

00:36:24.000 Like, you know, I'm literally running out of bait, and like, You know, a civilian drone simply wouldn't be able to even start. 0.79

00:36:31.000 And this is years ago before the technology even was all that good.

00:36:33.000 They could shut it down if they wanted to.

00:36:37.000 So it seems that these drones, they either don't want to or they don't have the capability of it.

00:36:43.000 You know, fighter pilots say they're watching the way these things fly, and it's not like a conventional drone.

00:36:48.000 I mean, they're pulling, you know, different kind of maneuvers that, you know, wouldn't seem almost, you know, physically possible with the existing stuff that we've seen out there.

00:36:57.000 So it seems like there's a lot more to it.

00:37:00.000 And you're right, the pass the buck situation, it's the same thing, you know.

00:37:03.000 Let's escalate in Ukraine, and then we'll make it Trump's war.

00:37:06.000 You see what they're doing.

00:37:07.000 You see that setup.

00:37:08.000 And I definitely see something here, because this isn't like one or two one-offs.

00:37:13.000 They're flying a drone over Bedminster, and it's some clickbait rag trying to get a shot of my father's house.

00:37:19.000 I mean, these are sophisticated drones, much larger, probably clearly have some technology.

00:37:23.000 They're not showing up in the usual...

00:37:26.000 You know, ways, you know, talking about guys, you know, hey, they don't show up on thermal.

00:37:30.000 It's like, well, how's that possible?

00:37:31.000 I mean, they're generating heat.

00:37:32.000 There's a contrast that should show up on thermal.

00:37:35.000 You know, the stories you hear, it's not like it's a one-off random dude.

00:37:39.000 You're hearing hundreds of these things from different people, you know, that are all so far, all the things are such anomalies to what we know about existing technology that it definitely leads me to believe there's a lot more here.

00:37:52.000 Let's break that down.

00:37:53.000 I think that's a really good point for your audience because a lot of people don't realize when you hear the word drone, you think of Super Bowl and maybe some drones flying to cover a play or something.

00:38:01.000 In reality, there's two types of drones.

00:38:03.000 There's commercial and privately available drones that are available to the public for business purposes or pleasure.

00:38:08.000 And then you've got military and government that are purpose-built and specific.

00:38:13.000 Let's take this pen, for example, and let's pretend this is a drone.

00:38:18.000 There's two types of ways you can really power a drone.

00:38:21.000 There is liquid, basically like liquid fuel, right?

00:38:24.000 So think of JP8 or gasoline or kerosene, something that's combustible, but it weighs a lot.

00:38:31.000 And so typically you're talking about seven and a half pounds per gallon of fuel.

00:38:35.000 you're talking fixed wing aircraft.

00:38:37.000 You're not talking about rotary wing, something that can hover.

00:38:39.000 You're talking about something that can fly for 10 hours at a time and loiter and fly a long distance.

00:38:45.000 When you're talking a quadcopter, you're talking an actual drone drone that's got the propellers and whatnot, And they're battery powered for a very specific reason because of weight limitations.

00:38:56.000 The liquid is just frankly too heavy.

00:38:58.000 And the batteries only last anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes, as you probably already know when you're fishing.

00:39:04.000 They don't last a whole long time.

00:39:06.000 And then you have to have a place to send them out and a place to recover them and then to maintain them.

00:39:12.000 And last but not least, you have something called a signal issue here.

00:39:15.000 If I'm a drone flying and I want to send a signal to it in order for it to fly in its telemetry and whatnot, it's usually what they call not beyond line of sight, meaning because of the curvature of the Earth, the radio frequency won't go over the horizon.

00:39:31.000 And what we are seeing are drones that are definitely coming in over the horizon.

00:39:34.000 So this is beyond line of sight.

00:39:36.000 Now to do that...

00:39:37.000 If you were to really want to develop a bunch of drones to do that, you'd need an aerial platform, either an aircraft or a satellite, to serve as a repeater to bounce the signal over the horizon to your vehicle.

00:39:49.000 That takes a tremendous amount of infrastructure, coordination, personnel, and funding, and you've got to have a base to operate out of.

00:39:58.000 So we're not seeing any of those.

00:40:00.000 We're not seeing any, as some people said, a large ship off the coast that's maybe launching these things.

00:40:05.000 And they're being seen all over the continental United States.

00:40:08.000 And frankly, now they're being seen all over the world to include Latin America, Australia, the UK.

00:40:13.000 Even NATO now is getting involved.

00:40:15.000 And Germany is now starting to get some of these air incursions.

00:40:18.000 So there's a problem here.

00:40:20.000 And this administration is not, for whatever reason, willing to be transparent with the American people.

00:40:25.000 And I do believe that the members of Congress are probably satisfied with whatever answer they were given yesterday during their private hearing.

00:40:33.000 If you trust the briefing that you're getting from, you know, the agencies or whatever it is, I mean, I've watched some of these lawmakers with such naivete believe that they're being told everything.

00:40:43.000 You know, no, they're being told exactly what they need to get the answer that the agencies want.

00:40:48.000 And, you know, The rest is a lie by omission.

00:40:50.000 I heard one lawmaker say they're Iranian.

00:40:54.000 Then a report came out that they're Chinese.

00:40:56.000 No one actually believes any of it.

00:41:00.000 What exact type of drones are these? 0.94

00:41:02.000 What may they be doing?

00:41:03.000 I've heard the best case scenario.

00:41:07.000 It just happens to be, you know, millions of civilian drones.

00:41:07.000 Hey, it's just...

00:41:10.000 And then I've heard the other scenarios, hey, you know, they're out there.

00:41:14.000 They're out there looking for something that was maybe radioactive.

00:41:17.000 Apparently some, you know, again, I don't know if there's any truth to it whatsoever, but, you know, some, you know, spent, you know, uranium went missing and we can't find it and or the former warheads that were stored in Ukraine.

00:41:30.000 The nuclear-capable warheads, some of those went missing because that was a disaster at the fall of the Soviet Union.

00:41:38.000 Where do you think we lie somewhere between these best and worst-case scenarios?

00:41:42.000 At this point, you know, I sort of default to the worst case scenario because experience has led me to believe that that's where these things usually go.

00:41:50.000 But, you know, again, like I don't think any of these things, especially given what we've seen, you know, are conspiratorial.

00:41:58.000 They're all valid questions that we deserve answers to.

00:42:00.000 Look, you got drones literally hovering over former governor's houses.

00:42:00.000 Right.

00:42:04.000 Right.

00:42:05.000 That's not normal.

00:42:05.000 Don't tell the American people that's normal when it's not.

00:42:08.000 There are restrictions and no fly zones put in place for very good reasons.

00:42:12.000 And when they are breached, that's not lawful.

00:42:13.000 I don't care what anybody in the administration, I don't care if you're a two star general, entering into restricted airspace that is restricted at the time you are entering it is illegal.

00:42:24.000 And that's a problem.

00:42:25.000 Look, furthermore, some of these seem to even have displaced some sort of countermeasure capability.

00:42:30.000 There's been a couple incidents where somebody has tried with a private drone, a privately owned drone.

00:42:35.000 To approach one of these things.

00:42:36.000 And you get the reports that their drone was disabled and fell out of the sky.

00:42:41.000 There's also some very interesting videos showing what appears to be a drone, if you will, prosecuting or coming in to look at one of these other bigger drones.

00:42:50.000 And it's just falling right out of the sky.

00:42:52.000 So if that's true, you're talking about a very, very sophisticated operation.

00:42:56.000 And of course, you know, then there's a topic that maybe this isn't necessarily all drone related.

00:43:00.000 There could be another...

00:43:03.000 Part of the narrative here that may be a little bit more uncomfortable to talk about, but it could explain some of the confusion in the public.

00:43:10.000 I don't have enough data just for the record to say definitively what something is or is not.

00:43:15.000 These are all hypotheses that have been postulated by people inside the government.

00:43:19.000 So what are some of those?

00:43:21.000 Because I think that's relevant.

00:43:22.000 I mean, if you say, hey, can't we just go up and film these things?

00:43:25.000 And hey, they've tried and it's not working.

00:43:27.000 I mean, you would think the FAA would be in total panic mode about this.

00:43:31.000 When I'm watching literally time-lapse videos of hundreds of drones flying right over the runways at Newark Airport, I'm like...

00:43:37.000 I don't know.

00:43:38.000 I'm a pilot.

00:43:39.000 That's restricted airspace.

00:43:40.000 You can't fly a drone over those places.

00:43:43.000 And if you were to, it would just shut them off.

00:43:46.000 And if there's hundreds going over it and no one's saying anything, that's a problem.

00:43:50.000 So I don't want to create panic, but I do want to put these theories out there from someone like yourself who gets it, who knows.

00:43:58.000 What could it be if only to force the conversation and maybe we get some actual answers?

00:44:03.000 Yeah, great.

00:44:04.000 So let me, I'll preface by saying, at this point, because we are, it's a data-starved environment.

00:44:10.000 So it's open to a lot of speculation.

00:44:12.000 Anytime you have a lack of information, people will automatically fill it in with what they think or what they think they know.

00:44:18.000 So it's a data-starved environment.

00:44:20.000 But let's go through some of the options.

00:44:22.000 Could it be foreign adversarial, foreign-sponsored?

00:44:25.000 It could be.

00:44:27.000 Doubt it at this point.

00:44:28.000 I think it's probably not because I said before, the infrastructure would be, and it would be so provocative that some could even say it was an act of war.

00:44:37.000 But let's talk about the problem of that.

00:44:39.000 If somebody were to have a foreign capability, and let's say they put a bunch of sprayers on it and wanted to spray chemical agents or biological agents, That'd be a great way to do it, right? 1.00

00:44:46.000 We can see how drones have been weaponized over in Russia right now and in the Ukraine in that battle.

00:44:51.000 They're being used and they're being weaponized very, very effectively.

00:44:55.000 So that concerns me.

00:44:55.000 So for somebody to say, well, nothing to worry about here, I disagree with that.

00:45:00.000 I think there is something to worry about it if you don't have full control and understanding of what's in your skies, which clearly this administration does not.

00:45:06.000 Secondly, it could be our technology.

00:45:09.000 Like you said, there could be a broken arrow situation, perhaps a weapons of mass destruction through sensitive intelligence reporting indicates that there is a potential weapons of mass destruction somewhere by a U.S. equity, critical U.S. equity, somewhere in the world and that it's kind of but it was put in there as kind of a just in case in case the u.s decides to go uh you know hand-to-hand with somebody else uh that's another scenario

00:45:36.000 another scenario is that what people are seeing is actually two different things um in the old days if there was a uap incident or in the vernacular for your audience's sake a ufo incident um and despite what people think we actually spent a lot of government money and taxpayer money investigating ufos so let me just put that out there that's a reality that's a In fact, we did do that.

00:45:56.000 We're still still doing it.

00:45:57.000 In the old days, you'd set up a helicopter.

00:46:00.000 You'd have to wake up a crew, or maybe they were already on the ready, and it'd take a little while, spin up the helo, and go out and see what was coming over the wire.

00:46:08.000 Now we have drones.

00:46:09.000 We have technology where you can have something geofence, and if there's something that enters your airspace, it can automatically trigger a drone response, and five or six drones will go out and investigate the situation.

00:46:21.000 So you have some people reporting very large vehicles where the navigation lights are not blinking in any known navigational colors.

00:46:29.000 It's not, i.e.

00:46:29.000 red and green.

00:46:30.000 It's not anti-collision or avoidance lights.

00:46:34.000 They're not bright white.

00:46:35.000 In some cases, they're yellows, they're blues, they're purples.

00:46:39.000 Or they disappear entirely.

00:46:41.000 Right.

00:46:42.000 Or they just go totally dark, again, in violation of what would be typical FAA rules.

00:46:46.000 I know as a pilot, if your strobe's not on, you can't go up in the air.

00:46:50.000 Right.

00:46:50.000 Absolutely.

00:46:51.000 Right.

00:46:51.000 Exactly.

00:46:51.000 These strobes, in some cases, are not the same frequency.

00:46:54.000 They're not the same colors.

00:46:55.000 They may not even be navigation lights.

00:46:56.000 Some have been reported being huge and silent.

00:46:59.000 Some have been reported coming out of the water, and some have been reported moving away at very, very fast speed.

00:47:04.000 So from a UAP perspective, and I want to caveat here, I'm not saying necessarily these are UAP, but here's part of the A-theory.

00:47:11.000 A-theory.

00:47:13.000 Some of these UAP, these drones initially are UAP, and they are being reported by the local civilian and law enforcement population.

00:47:21.000 And then what you have is a military response of drones that are going out trying to find these things.

00:47:28.000 And then other people, civilians in a wider area are reporting all the drones that are coming out, five, six drones at a time, seem to be doing this racetrack or this scanning, if you will, low-level scanning of the area.

00:47:40.000 It's possible that they're looking for whatever maybe they saw, maybe it was UAP related.

00:47:46.000 And now they're hoping maybe there was some sort of landing or a crash or something like that.

00:47:50.000 They're looking for it.

00:47:51.000 Potentially.

00:47:52.000 And I only say that because, and the evidence there is still, there's more data needs to be obtained.

00:48:00.000 But it would make sense that you have some people reporting something completely opposite Some people say, this is totally silent, it's huge.

00:48:06.000 Other people say, no, it's small, it's a quadcopter, and I can hear the whirring of the engine.

00:48:10.000 Both might be true, actually.

00:48:12.000 We don't know, and there's a lot of people right now, even within my circles, that dismiss that theory.

00:48:17.000 So we have to be very careful.

00:48:19.000 I don't want to put it out there as fact, because it is certainly not fact.

00:48:22.000 It's just one of the many, many options of what this could be.

00:48:25.000 It could also be a contractor, a U.S. government contractor.

00:48:29.000 And under certain circumstances, the U.S. Department of Defense does not have to admit it's their equity.

00:48:34.000 There are certain critical technologies on a critical technology list that if we develop a certain capability, we don't necessarily have to admit that.

00:48:43.000 So is it possible that this is a huge exercise because of your dad now coming into office again and administration leaving?

00:48:53.000 Could this be what they call an NSC, a national security event?

00:48:56.000 Yeah, because you don't want to give our enemy operational awareness of what our capabilities are.

00:49:02.000 And that to me is, you know, frankly, very plausible.

00:49:06.000 I don't know why you need to do it over New Jersey, but maybe you do have to map cities or whatever it may be a little bit more than the countryside, because there's a lot more that they'd have to be working with.

00:49:16.000 And, you know, frankly, for me, you know, I'm a believer in drone technology.

00:49:19.000 I would much rather if we're going to be in conflict around the world, I would much rather it get done with drones, you know, than putting our boys, you know, and maybe some girls, you know, in foreign combat zones.

00:49:31.000 If we can do it with a machine from the safety far away, like, that to me is a no-brainer.

00:49:35.000 Like, you know, I'm all for that.

00:49:38.000 But, you know, but again, it does seem odd to me, you know, when you hear about the ones, hey, this thing was a seven-foot wingspan, it was hovering 30 feet over my head, and I couldn't even hear it.

00:49:49.000 Like, That seems to be defying the basic laws of physics.

00:49:53.000 I guess the next question is, why can't we seemingly follow these drones to their origin point?

00:50:00.000 It seems like no one knows where they're coming from and no one knows where they're going back to.

00:50:05.000 And that in and of itself is fairly disconcerting that we don't have the capabilities.

00:50:09.000 There are systems, some of these echolocation systems, they can find where a bullet You know, from a gangbanger in Chicago, you know, and geolocate, you know, where the shot happened just based on sound.

00:50:22.000 If we can't follow, you know, a seven-foot object flying in the sky, but we can't find a bullet traveling over the speed of sound, that seems kind of disconcerting to me.

00:50:33.000 And let's look at this, you know, also from another perspective, you bring up a great point, you know, why aren't we taking action?

00:50:39.000 They're saying, well, you know, we have the capability to shoot it down, we just won't or we can't, right?

00:50:44.000 And then somebody brought up a really good point.

00:50:46.000 Well, so the White House position was, well, we don't want to endanger the public, right?

00:50:51.000 If we shoot one of these down, it comes down, it could hit somebody's house.

00:50:54.000 And yet there's these incidents with the U.S. Coast Guard where you have up to 10 of these Things literally stalking a U.S. Coast Guard cutter, and you're out in the middle of the ocean.

00:51:03.000 Why can't you bring it down there, right?

00:51:05.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:51:06.000 It's the explanation of, oh, by the way, these are all lawful, so don't shoot them down, but we don't know where they're coming from.

00:51:12.000 We don't know where they're going.

00:51:12.000 We don't know who owns them.

00:51:13.000 We don't know what they can do.

00:51:14.000 And they are over-sensitive military installations, I think is not only utter nonsense, I think it's a disservice to the American people because the American people deserve more.

00:51:24.000 And look, at the end of the day, if you don't know what they are, just say you don't know what they are.

00:51:26.000 Or if you do know what they are and you don't want to say what they are because there's a significant national security issue, then just say that.

00:51:33.000 Say, look, we'll tell you at a later time.

00:51:34.000 Right now we're doing something very sensitive on behalf of the American people to protect them, to serve them.

00:51:39.000 You know, give us a month or two here and we'll tell you what's going on.

00:51:42.000 Trust me, you'll understand why and you'll agree why we did it.

00:51:44.000 That's all they have to say.

00:51:45.000 But they don't.

00:51:47.000 And in fact, it's just meandering back and forth between, well, they're not foreign adversarial.

00:51:53.000 Well, they're not ours.

00:51:54.000 Well, they're all private and properly licensed aircraft.

00:51:59.000 You know, come on.

00:52:00.000 People are smart.

00:52:00.000 I've got videos on my phone.

00:52:01.000 I've been sent from senior military officials over Andrews Air Force Base, where your dad's plane is going to be stored in the next month, right?

00:52:09.000 How is that not an issue?

00:52:11.000 How is that not a problem?

00:52:12.000 I don't understand that mentality.

00:52:14.000 It's one thing saying Newark Airport.

00:52:16.000 It's another saying an active Air Force base where the leader of the free world, the commander-in-chief, flies Air Force One.

00:52:23.000 If they're allowing that to happen, they either know exactly what it is or they're incapable of doing anything about it.

00:52:28.000 Either answer is scary because if they know what it is and they're not saying something, it creates a suspicion.

00:52:34.000 If they're incapable of doing anything about it, then...

00:52:38.000 I think we've seen they're not all that capable of protecting a president in the last couple of months, unfortunately.

00:52:46.000 That's really scary.

00:52:47.000 I guess another layer to all of this is the lack of answers generally.

00:52:53.000 Does this create a vacuum that can be just filled with lots of noise and theories?

00:52:58.000 Is that designed to be a distraction from something else?

00:53:02.000 You know, that's going on.

00:53:03.000 I mean, listen, the American public has naturally become really cynical with cause.

00:53:10.000 You know, all the conspiracy theories have turned out to be right.

00:53:13.000 I mean, is it designed to cause some sort of hysteria?

00:53:15.000 So, you know, what role do you think our government has to be transparent with this?

00:53:21.000 Or is it intentional?

00:53:23.000 They're designed to take your eyes off the prize.

00:53:25.000 You know, they're selling off the border wall.

00:53:27.000 We're escalating.

00:53:28.000 You know, a potential nuclear conflict in the Ukraine.

00:53:31.000 You have all the stuff going on in the Middle East.

00:53:33.000 You know, Syria just collapsed.

00:53:35.000 You know, do they have to be transparent here or are they trying not to be?

00:53:40.000 What are the parameters for all of that?

00:53:41.000 There certainly could certainly be a diversion.

00:53:43.000 Absolutely.

00:53:43.000 Look, you know, governments have been known to do that in the past, including ours, that if there's a very difficult situation we're facing politically or some other way, they will come up with a diversion, a distraction.

00:53:54.000 And it's unfortunately not uncommon.

00:53:56.000 I will tell you, I'm extremely motivated and it's just absolutely endearing to my heart.

00:54:02.000 Some of the individuals that your father has put on his team are very transparent and want, you know, I don't need to tell you, I think you already know, believe in truth and transparency with the American people.

00:54:15.000 Whatever that truth may be, let the American people know what it is.

00:54:19.000 Your father's committed several times, one, to the release of the JFK files.

00:54:23.000 I stand up on my chair and applaud him for that.

00:54:26.000 Same thing with UAP transparency or drone transparency or anything else, right?

00:54:31.000 Anything else that involves the public.

00:54:33.000 Your father's made it very, very clear whether, you know, it doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you're on.

00:54:37.000 You got to admit, You can't argue with that.

00:54:40.000 That's exactly what this country deserves.

00:54:41.000 And I think that's why he's seeing the popularity he's seeing, because he has actually stood up to the system, stood up to the machine and said, no, that's not right.

00:54:49.000 We're going to try to do it the right way.

00:54:51.000 We're going to get the right people in office.

00:54:53.000 And I think we're going to see a huge, huge difference in government transparency here, probably starting in the next month.

00:55:01.000 Yeah, and I think, by the way, with that transparency, you actually get real change.

00:55:05.000 I think the intentional lack of transparency over the last few decades has led the American public to get into never-ending wars based on bad information.

00:55:13.000 So I think transparency, whether it be about details of geopolitics or transparency about the way your taxpayer dollars are being spent, I think it'll actually force real change.

00:55:23.000 Because once people see how the sausage is made, I think it changes things drastically.

00:55:29.000 It does.

00:55:29.000 And if you've got some really competent people, I got to tell you, some people that I personally knew from before.

00:55:29.000 It does.

00:55:34.000 And, you know, if I had to make, if I was in a position of authority, I'd have them on my team too.

00:55:40.000 So, you know, I think we're on the precipice of hopefully some greater transparency with the American people.

00:55:47.000 The American people deserve it.

00:55:48.000 They can handle the truth.

00:55:49.000 I believe it.

00:55:50.000 I believe they deserve the truth.

00:55:51.000 And I'm sure you feel the same way.

00:55:53.000 And I think this, what we're seeing right now, is a last-ditch, desperate effort by the administration to say, look, we've got enough fires on our hands.

00:55:53.000 Yeah.

00:56:01.000 We don't want to deal with drones right now.

00:56:03.000 We can't deal with drones.

00:56:04.000 We don't know what they are.

00:56:05.000 We don't know where they're from.

00:56:07.000 Please don't shoot one down because we don't know what's going to happen.

00:56:09.000 And let the next administration try to figure this out.

00:56:12.000 That could be going on as well.

00:56:13.000 By the way, I'm all for shooting them down.

00:56:14.000 Have you...

00:56:15.000 If you have a good shot and you can do it legally, let's get as much information out there as possible.

00:56:20.000 I've got my 12-gauge standing by just in case.

00:56:25.000 Well, I live in the middle of Wyoming for a reason.

00:56:28.000 Out here, if you see a drone, chances are it's not your neighbor because you don't have very many neighbors out here.

00:56:35.000 So it's a little bit different scenario out here.

00:56:37.000 But I concur, I think.

00:56:39.000 I think we need to figure out exactly what's going on.

00:56:42.000 And whatever Congress was provided as a reason, I think that should be shared with the American people.

00:56:47.000 Because if there are certain people now in Congress who are satisfied with what they were briefed, then why hide it?

00:56:52.000 Let the rest of America know.

00:56:55.000 I think it doesn't do us any favors, especially at an all-time low when the faith and confidence in the American government is at a pitiful low.

00:57:05.000 We need something to help Instill faith and confidence once again in our institutions.

00:57:11.000 Yeah, and listen, again, I want America to be doing more with drones.

00:57:14.000 I think just like our antibiotics and half of our medicine, 90% of our medicine, we get it from China.

00:57:21.000 That's going to be our biggest geopolitical threat without question.

00:57:24.000 All the drones are manufactured there.

00:57:26.000 All these civilian drones are manufactured there.

00:57:28.000 Half the military stuff is going there.

00:57:30.000 The chips probably come from Taiwan.

00:57:32.000 All our computers come from there.

00:57:32.000 That's right.

00:57:34.000 I want that to be American technology.

00:57:35.000 I don't want to be dependent on our enemies.

00:57:37.000 I see this as someone who knows very little about warfare, but has a brain and some common sense.

00:57:43.000 This is definitely the future, certainly, of regional conflict warfare.

00:57:47.000 Instead of sending troops, you're going to do this.

00:57:50.000 You don't have to look any further than watching some little $300 Amazon DGI drone with a little servo clip tied to the bottom of it.

00:57:59.000 They're dropping grenades, killing 12 people over in Ukraine, rather than sending our guys to do these things.

00:58:05.000 I mean, it's sort of a no-brainer, and I definitely want that technology to be American, where they can't just shut it off the second a conflict breaks out.

00:58:13.000 But yeah, we just got to know.

00:58:16.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:58:17.000 And you know, there's something called C3I, Command Control Communications and Information, which is critical anytime you want to have, if you get into a conflict, you have to be able to control your troops and be able to have the integrity of the information flowing back and forth.

00:58:31.000 And you make a really good point because even our computers and our cell phones are all made in China.

00:58:35.000 And that is a supply chain risk management issue.

00:58:38.000 If a country has a unilateral, hypothetically, unilateral ability, again, let me emphasize hypothetically here, I don't want to get in trouble, but to unilaterally disable all electronic devices in this country, can you imagine the havoc it would play not just on the banking industries, but on the healthcare services, on anything, law enforcement and anything?

00:58:58.000 If you have the ability to shut down power grids and communications and transportation, in essence, you can win an entire war without ever firing a shot.

00:59:06.000 And, uh, you know, we, we need to pay attention to that.

00:59:09.000 Um, and that's a concern of these drones. 0.95

00:59:11.000 You're right.

00:59:12.000 Some of these drones that are a lot of them are made in China.

00:59:14.000 Uh, you know, is there an ability there to, you know, have a proverbial kill switch or maybe perhaps, uh, override, uh, the C3I piece, you know, the command control and communications of a, of a drone, uh, Or just with AI capabilities, taking every civilian drone and linking the information that's going back there, you know, they can geolocate, they can geofence it.

00:59:34.000 I mean, they could be getting a lot of details about a lot of people without our actual knowledge.

00:59:41.000 And when you think about, you know, man, I can't think of too many teenagers I know that don't have some sort of drone right now.

00:59:47.000 It's all probably made there.

00:59:48.000 And if it's all linking back and they're just collecting all this information, I have a feeling they'd never let us do that over China or in China.

00:59:55.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:59:57.000 You're right.

00:59:57.000 You're 100% right.

00:59:58.000 Let me ask you just a real question that you can look at real examples.

01:00:02.000 If a Russian bear reconnaissance aircraft comes anywhere near territorial U.S. airspace, what happens?

01:00:08.000 Well, we scramble a bunch of F-15s. 0.73

01:00:10.000 It's a front page of all the media outlets for a day.

01:00:13.000 And we have beautiful pictures where we basically kind of usher the Russian surveillance aircraft out of our territorial waters.

01:00:23.000 So if the U.S. government has that right to do that and enforces that, apparently, strictly, why can't civilians over their own property be able to defend their own airspace?

01:00:32.000 Now, I'm not talking commercial aircraft, but if you have a drone 200 feet above your private house that you're paying taxes on and you own that property...

01:00:41.000 Why should it be okay for anybody just to go ahead and fly it over your house and take pictures and invade your privacy and whatnot?

01:00:49.000 I think that's a problem.

01:00:51.000 And I think there's almost a schizophrenic approach to this where the federal government says, well, we have the authority to do this, but you as a private citizen, no, you can't do that.

01:01:00.000 You're not allowed to do that.

01:01:01.000 And I think there's a policy issue there.

01:01:03.000 I do believe that.

01:01:05.000 Now, law enforcement may be a different story.

01:01:07.000 There's an ongoing investigation, but Private citizens, just to be able to fly it over someone's house willy-nilly, you know, I wouldn't want someone flying a drone over my house at all.

01:01:18.000 But just so we're clear, like, you know, being someone in the public eye, it happens to me all the time.

01:01:22.000 And I'm like, you know, I want to lie out by the pool with my kids and I'm seeing a drone fly over my house.

01:01:26.000 And maybe it's just some guy, you know, looking at real estate, but like...

01:01:29.000 You know, it could not be.

01:01:31.000 I mean, you know, I get that.

01:01:33.000 I mean, I guess the question is, do we need tighter restrictions on drones, perhaps, you know, especially drones from China, whether it be recreationally or otherwise, because of that possible sort of information collecting capabilities, right?

01:01:47.000 We freaked out about a...

01:01:49.000 You know, a balloon, you know, that flew over our airspace that had some collect, and rightfully so.

01:01:55.000 If they have that same network capability, where they're getting all of this information for probably, you know, hundreds of thousands of drones that every kid flying all over the United States, and they're gathering all that information that, you know, is much tighter than what they'd probably be able to get from satellite technology, etc.

01:02:10.000 Does that create some sort of additional problem where, you know, they just have much more information on us than we do on them?

01:02:15.000 It does.

01:02:16.000 And look, I'm going to say something that may be considered a little unpopular here, but let me just say caveat by saying I'm not picking on China.

01:02:23.000 I'm saying any country that has the ability to create communication devices that are so prolific that every American household has one.

01:02:33.000 And you don't have exact control of what type of software is going in there and hardware.

01:02:38.000 I think that is a significant problem.

01:02:40.000 We have something called ITAR, International Trafficking and Arms Regulations, that restricts certain critical technologies from being exported.

01:02:47.000 I can't bring my thermal optics to Europe.

01:02:50.000 And these are recreational.

01:02:51.000 I don't have military-grade stuff.

01:02:53.000 It's the highest end of the civilian stuff.

01:02:55.000 But for my hunting stuff or whatever it is, or just the fun stuff I do, I literally can't fly with it out of the country.

01:03:03.000 Well, we should have the reverse also where we have a restriction on technologies coming into this country where our government, for example, maybe the NSA, hasn't been able to look at the software and say, okay, this device does not have some sort of secret kill switch from country X, right?

01:03:20.000 Again, China right now because they're manufacturing everything that we use.

01:03:23.000 But any country, it doesn't have to be a country.

01:03:25.000 I'm not comfortable giving any country that unilateral control of our devices, whether it's flying in the sky or it's driving on our streets or it's being used in our homes.

01:03:37.000 I think we need to get a better handle on that.

01:03:39.000 And again, I'm not trying to pick on China here, but look, China is- Well, I think they're just, listen, I think they've demonstrated to be the worst and most capable actor, right? 1.00

01:03:46.000 I mean, they are an adversary for a reason.

01:03:46.000 Absolutely.

01:03:48.000 I'm, you know, I don't think they have the capabilities of doing that.

01:03:51.000 I don't think they have the ability to do as much with it.

01:03:53.000 And honestly, the same with Russia. 0.56

01:03:54.000 I know, you know, it's the big boogeyman because, you know, big wars is making a killing over there.

01:03:58.000 But like, you know, I don't think any serious person looks at Russia as big a threat to the United States, you know, economically or otherwise, as you would China.

01:04:11.000 Well, and China looks at things from a 50-year optic.

01:04:14.000 Keep in mind, we don't.

01:04:15.000 You know, we look at...

01:04:16.000 Two years ago, what do we do?

01:04:18.000 How do we kick the can down the road for two years so that we can get re-elected in Congress and then we repeat the process?

01:04:24.000 I mean, they know where they want to be in 50, maybe even 100 years.

01:04:26.000 That's right.

01:04:27.000 They know exactly how they want to get there.

01:04:29.000 And they'll burn every bridge along the way to get there.

01:04:32.000 And it's, you know, it's scary because it's a lot better than our system from a certain perspective.

01:04:37.000 I'm not condoning a dictatorial regime in any way, shape, or form.

01:04:42.000 But, you know, for results, how many, you see it going on right now with the CRs. 0.52

01:04:46.000 You know, Democrats, they're jamming billions of dollars of crap to pay off their friends, and then they'll say, well, in a couple of years, maybe we'll be back in power and we'll do that.

01:04:54.000 But in the meantime, we're going to stick this onto the tab of the American people. 0.93

01:04:57.000 1,500 pages released, you know, two days ago.

01:05:01.000 You got one day to read 1,500 pages of obscure spending, and then we vote on it.

01:05:06.000 And if you don't vote on it, you're not American. 0.93

01:05:08.000 It's like, these people are insane. 0.51

01:05:10.000 And it's kind of funny because I don't say funny. 0.82

01:05:10.000 Yeah. 0.82

01:05:13.000 It's not funny in a funny sense.

01:05:15.000 It's more ironic.

01:05:16.000 But, you know, if you're short a billion dollars, you have to write a law for 10 billion because you've got to pay off a bunch of people to accept it.

01:05:23.000 So it actually costs you 10 billion to raise the 1 billion.

01:05:23.000 Right.

01:05:26.000 And that all goes to, you know, to the taxpayers.

01:05:28.000 Yeah, it's extortion is what it is.

01:05:28.000 Yeah.

01:05:30.000 It's extortion happening on a mass scale at a government level, and that's why we have $35 trillion in debt, and it happens every time, and you can't have a bill for anything.

01:05:38.000 The bill is named to do the opposite of what it's actually doing, and it's truly sick.

01:05:44.000 I think the American people are awake to it, but it's not going to stop because permanent Washington is still very entrenched.

01:05:50.000 We've got to try to break that down as much as you can, and that's where we go back to transparency.

01:05:54.000 Hopefully, you know, if Doge does one thing, it just shows the American people like, hey, you probably shouldn't be paying an 8,000% markup for the soaps dispenser on a Boeing airplane owned by the military government simply because that general wants a board seat at Boeing, you know, who's signing off in the, you know, negotiations on price, or let's call it the lack of negotiations on price so as to get that board seat.

01:06:15.000 You know, you brought something up that reminded me.

01:06:18.000 You asked me, what could we do?

01:06:20.000 And, you know, I'm very hesitant to ever offer my opinion because I never ever want to overstep my bounds.

01:06:25.000 But as we're beginning to see the proliferation of these drones and how technology is outpacing policy, I'm wondering, what are your thoughts if the U.S. government were to put in every major organization, defense and intelligence, like Department of Energy, right, where they have facilities they've got to protect, and maybe the Navy, who's got bases in the Air Force, and And, you know, the major combatant commands.

01:06:47.000 What if UH had a drone representative there that was responsible for looking at drone activity, both defensively and offensively for those commands, and not only advising those organizations and services, but then reporting to a drone czar?

01:07:00.000 And now I say this because...

01:07:02.000 Well, if you go back in the clock 60, 70 years ago before we ever made it to space, we only had an Air Force and an Army and a Navy, right?

01:07:08.000 We weren't fighting in space.

01:07:09.000 We weren't in space.

01:07:10.000 And now we have a Space Force and a Space Command because we've got a lot of equities in space.

01:07:14.000 This is one of those rare occasions where you have this gray area between a technology that Could be used for military purposes, is being used for intelligence, could be used as a weapon, and could be used for civilian and other uses.

01:07:29.000 And that guy or gal reports directly to your folks and says, look, here's the emerging technologies, here's the threats, here's what we're seeing overseas, here's what we're doing here, here's our counter-drone capabilities, here's our offensive drone capabilities, and here's what we can do and what we can't do.

01:07:44.000 I'm wondering if something like that would be helpful.

01:07:47.000 Three weeks ago, I would have said, that's a huge waste of time and money.

01:07:50.000 It's not that big a deal yet.

01:07:51.000 But it turns out, you know, it's interesting.

01:07:54.000 I mean, you know, especially when people think of, you know, the Department of Energy is actually having to do with energy.

01:07:58.000 Their biggest thing is actually guarding the nuclear arsenal.

01:08:00.000 And so if there's drones flying over that stuff and they're mapping all that out, I mean...

01:08:04.000 You know, it doesn't take much to envision a potential disaster.

01:08:08.000 So, you know, it's certainly something interesting.

01:08:11.000 I think we're trying to cut government, but I think there are things that we obviously need to do to protect ourselves.

01:08:16.000 Maybe, Lou, what I'd ask is, like, you know, how does all of this stuff, you know, fit into the broader mosaic of the work you've been doing?

01:08:23.000 You have your new book, Imminent, which is a look inside the Pentagon's hunt for UFOs, but...

01:08:29.000 You know, what I learned last time in talking about this, the UAP doesn't necessarily mean it's an alien, right?

01:08:35.000 It's different.

01:08:36.000 It's absolutely related.

01:08:37.000 What's the next chapter in the story?

01:08:39.000 Does all of this sort of intertwine in that?

01:08:42.000 Yeah, it does.

01:08:43.000 Absolutely.

01:08:43.000 It's all related.

01:08:44.000 Look, everything is a UAP or UFO until it's identified, right?

01:08:47.000 Everything is unidentified.

01:08:48.000 Until it becomes identified, then you have this other subcategory called TNO, Temporary Non-Attributable Objects.

01:08:55.000 So objects that we detect at first, but we have no idea what it is until it's resolved, right?

01:08:59.000 And to some degree, there have been some organizations in the U.S. government that's done a pretty decent, I don't want to say great, but decent job at being able to segregate true anomalous capabilities, right?

01:09:11.000 The five observables.

01:09:12.000 And something that may be some sort of new emerging technology or breakaway technology, disruptive technology that some adversary or near-peer country has developed.

01:09:21.000 They are related because at first everything is a UAP until it's not.

01:09:25.000 So think of a big umbrella as being the UAP and then the smaller umbrella underneath that umbrella being drones and temporary non-attributable objects.

01:09:34.000 And then once those are resolved, what you have left over could potentially be truly anomalous, right?

01:09:39.000 Because they're not falling within those profiles, performance profiles and performance characteristics that we know existing technology can exhibit.

01:09:48.000 And that's really how you do it.

01:09:50.000 Unfortunately, we're not there yet in our government.

01:09:54.000 Fighting bureaucratically on what to do and what to say.

01:09:57.000 But that's really how you do it.

01:09:59.000 And you have to have the intelligence community.

01:10:00.000 You have to have the defense community.

01:10:02.000 You have to have DHS and FAA all on board.

01:10:04.000 You have to.

01:10:05.000 You cannot have the conversation in a silo.

01:10:08.000 Well, so I know I asked you last time, but we sort of just scratched the surface of it.

01:10:12.000 How did you get involved in tracking down UAPs? 0.85

01:10:14.000 Did you always just want to do that, or did you just stumble into it?

01:10:18.000 It seems like so many technologies, you actually got in ahead of the curve because it's becoming a much more real thing now than before, and perhaps that's because of some of the stuff that you were able to find and expose.

01:10:29.000 Yeah, well, I certainly wouldn't consider myself, you know, worthy of playing the stock market.

01:10:34.000 I don't know if it was luck or bad luck.

01:10:36.000 No, I'm not.

01:10:37.000 I've never been a science fiction fan, actually.

01:10:39.000 Even as a kid, I'd consider myself more as a G.I. Joe kind of kid instead of a Star Wars kid.

01:10:44.000 I went to school at University of Miami.

01:10:47.000 My father was in the Bay of Pigs.

01:10:48.000 He was a revolutionary and a prisoner of the Bay of Pigs.

01:10:51.000 And then was later released as a result of his involvement with the CIA to try to overthrow Cuba.

01:10:58.000 So I was raised with a very strong sense of patriotism.

01:11:01.000 Always have.

01:11:02.000 I went to school actually with Marco Rubio when he was in law school.

01:11:05.000 I was in the medical program at the time there at University of Miami.

01:11:09.000 I joined the Army after college.

01:11:11.000 I spent a short time in the Army before I was recruited into some special activities.

01:11:15.000 I became a special agent and a special agent in charge for U.S. counterintelligence, so focusing on terrorism, espionage, counterinsurgencies, and counter-narcotics.

01:11:25.000 I spent most of my life in one vacation spot or another, the Middle East or the jungles of South America.

01:11:32.000 So I've always been just a fax man kind of guy.

01:11:35.000 I'm not prone to flights of fancy.

01:11:36.000 I consider myself a disciple of the scientific methods and principles.

01:11:40.000 That's what I went to school for.

01:11:41.000 And I did a lot of work early on in my career in advanced technology protection.

01:11:45.000 So hypersonics, high-energy lasers, UAVs, and UAS, unmanned aerial systems.

01:11:53.000 And then...

01:11:55.000 In 2008, 2009, correct, early 2009, I was brought into a program when I left the DNI. I was working for the DNI for a while, and then the Department of Defense asked me to come back on a JDA, a one-year rotation.

01:12:09.000 Frankly, for quality of life purposes, it made my life a lot easier.

01:12:12.000 I lived on Kent Island, so across the Chesapeake Bray Bridge, across Annapolis.

01:12:17.000 And so I was making this three-hour, one-way commute every day.

01:12:20.000 It was murder.

01:12:22.000 And so, long story short, I accepted the position for a one-year rotation back to the Pentagon.

01:12:27.000 And it was there that I was brought into the program at the time called AATIP slash OSAP. AATIP stands for Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

01:12:37.000 And I didn't find out till later when I was actually brought into the program that the program was solely focused on investigating UFOs for the U.S. government.

01:12:45.000 And I was shocked to learn that there were other previous programs that The entire time.

01:13:09.000 Basically entering our controlled U.S. airspace unchallenged and being able to perform in ways that outperformed anything we had in our inventory at the time, and frankly, even having our inventory today.

01:13:19.000 So that's when I learned the reality that UAP and the investigation of UAP by the U.S. government and other governments is absolutely real.

01:13:28.000 Now, whether people believe in UFOs or not is irrelevant, because at the end of the day, your government was spending money investigating them, and what the result was was very, very compelling.

01:13:38.000 Mm-hmm.

01:13:39.000 So, you know, what can we do just as far as education, right?

01:13:43.000 There's all these acronyms, there's all the this, as people are starting to, you know, wake up to this.

01:13:47.000 I mean, you know, six months ago, it was like, yeah, we want to hear about UFOs.

01:13:50.000 It's like, we started seeing evidence of it all over the place.

01:13:53.000 The Air Force is releasing all these things, and it's like, there was so much other crap going on in the world between wars and the economy and people just struggling to get by that was like, eh!

01:14:02.000 You know, one of the biggest questions probably that we've been asking ourselves for the last 40 years, at least my whole life was like, hey, is it there?

01:14:08.000 It seems like there's proof and it's almost like, eh, there was enough going on that it was a distraction.

01:14:13.000 But, you know, how do we educate ourselves and, you know, and the public about talking about these issues in a more sophisticated way?

01:14:20.000 Again, as a way to force, you know, answers, right?

01:14:23.000 People, you know, I saw it a lot in, you know, in banking when I came out, you know, investment bankers, they talked with all these acronyms and they're If you just said the words, everyone knows what you're talking about, but it sounds so sophisticated when they use the acronyms or whatever that people get intimidated to ask questions because they don't want to be sort of put in that box of, you don't know what you're talking about because you don't know the acronym.

01:14:42.000 You're doing it.

01:14:43.000 You and your audience are doing it right now.

01:14:45.000 You're doing exactly what needs to happen.

01:14:46.000 You're having the conversation in public.

01:14:47.000 You're having a conversation around the water coolers, around the dinner table, you know, without necessarily preconceived narrative.

01:14:53.000 I've told people many times that this is a conversation that, yes, involves national security.

01:14:59.000 And in that case, yeah, maybe I do want a two or three or four-star general telling me their perspectives.

01:15:03.000 But there's a whole lot to this that's beyond that.

01:15:05.000 There's a part of this topic that affects all of us equally and yet differently, depending on how you were raised and your religious convictions.

01:15:12.000 And so this is a topic that affects us all from a philosophical perspective, a theological perspective, a psychological perspective, even a sociological perspective.

01:15:22.000 And in that case, I think we need the general public's involvement.

01:15:25.000 We need academia involved.

01:15:26.000 We have right now Harvard and Stanford involved in the conversation.

01:15:29.000 We've got some really renowned academic institutions actually now having the conversation, willing to do academic studies on it.

01:15:36.000 That's never happened before.

01:15:37.000 You now have scientific communities willing to do new advanced research in areas of physics they thought were dead, that didn't exist, that were not possible.

01:15:45.000 Let's not forget that impossible is just something we haven't seen yet.

01:15:48.000 There's a lot of things in history that we thought were impossible until we did them.

01:15:52.000 And I think science is beginning to realize that.

01:15:55.000 There's a whole—look, from the 10 years, from the 1960s, when Kennedy got up there and said, we're going to go to the moon, and not because it's easy, because it's hard.

01:16:04.000 In 10 years alone, 6,200 industries— Industries, not products, resulted from that 10-year competition with Soviet Union to get to the moon first.

01:16:16.000 We have things like the LED light bulb.

01:16:18.000 We have the CAT scans, things that have long outlived their initial design purpose and have transformed mankind forever.

01:16:26.000 And I think if we look at this topic the same way, there's a tremendous amount of investment that could be placed into this with tremendous results.

01:16:37.000 Things that could truly revolutionize our species and change the existing paradigm that we live in.

01:16:45.000 So what would be the major goals for you or your top priorities that you'd want to see progress on starting on January 20th?

01:16:52.000 Oh my goodness.

01:16:55.000 Boy, you ambushed me with that one.

01:16:57.000 Let me say this.

01:16:57.000 You know what?

01:16:59.000 We need to have open dialogue.

01:17:01.000 Your dad needs to surround himself with the best and the brightest.

01:17:04.000 And they don't necessarily have to.

01:17:06.000 They come from all different walks of life, socioeconomically and politically and everything else.

01:17:11.000 But there are a core group of individuals that absolutely have the keys to the kingdom.

01:17:16.000 They've actually worked on programs in the past, legacy programs.

01:17:20.000 So there are some scientists out there that have some really cutting edge understanding of physics.

01:17:27.000 I would create a think of a much cheaper and for peaceful purposes, a Manhattan project of think tanks that are working together.

01:17:36.000 People that there are some really good people in NASA, Mike Gold, for example, one of the Artemis mission managers, super guy, former attorney.

01:17:43.000 He actually testified with me in front of Congress about a month and a half ago.

01:17:47.000 There's a lot of smart people, people like Admiral Gallaudet.

01:17:50.000 You have whistleblowers like Dave Grush and other folks that I'm sure would look any one of us.

01:17:57.000 If your dad were to call up to back their boots back on and serve, we do it in a heartbeat.

01:18:03.000 There's a lot of guys out there and gals that know where the proverbial quote-unquote bodies are buried. 0.99

01:18:07.000 And it's not that hard.

01:18:08.000 And we know a few people.

01:18:10.000 Again, Dave Grush was raked through the coals, but that's a guy most people don't know.

01:18:13.000 He knows a lot of information because I worked with him at U.S. Space Force in the SCIF on the UAP topic.

01:18:19.000 If he was allowed to say what he really knew, I think people would be very surprised.

01:18:23.000 Well, Lou, tell us where people can find your book, Imminent.

01:18:23.000 Interesting.

01:18:26.000 I think it's critical.

01:18:28.000 I look forward to the next book because it seems like each and every day they're writing a new chapter for you for volume two.

01:18:34.000 Well, I appreciate it.

01:18:35.000 I hate to plug myself.

01:18:37.000 You'll probably realize I never do that, but thank you very much.

01:18:40.000 You got to plug yourself, buddy. 0.99

01:18:42.000 The people who don't do it are the ones that get left behind, and it's usually the people plugging themselves that are full of crap. 0.99

01:18:47.000 It's that guilt. 0.98

01:18:49.000 I get it.

01:18:50.000 You can find it anywhere books are sold.

01:18:51.000 You can do...

01:18:52.000 There's audio versions.

01:18:53.000 There's e-versions.

01:18:55.000 Again, anywhere where books are sold, you can do it online.

01:18:59.000 You can do it at a mom and pop shop, whatever your fancy is.

01:19:03.000 You can also go to my website, luiselizondo-official.com.

01:19:09.000 And I think there might be some links there.

01:19:11.000 Again, forgive me.

01:19:12.000 I don't like to play myself.

01:19:15.000 So...
