Thanks for coming on show.
[0:00:00 - 0:00:01] ▶
Louis.
[0:00:01 - 0:00:01] ▶
Thank you for having me, my honor and privilege.
[0:00:01 - 0:00:03] ▶
Yeah, it's really nice to take a break
[0:00:03 - 0:00:05] ▶
talking about divisive American politics
[0:00:05 - 0:00:07] ▶
to talk about what is going on to say aliens.
[0:00:07 - 0:00:11] ▶
Well, first of all, we don't call them aliens anymore.
[0:00:11 - 0:00:13] ▶
That's kind of a politically incorrect term.
[0:00:13 - 0:00:15] ▶
Oh, they're world.
[0:00:15 - 0:00:16] ▶
Valions are world.
[0:00:16 - 0:00:17] ▶
We call them in the Pentagon NHI, non-human intelligence.
[0:00:17 - 0:00:21] ▶
OK.
[0:00:21 - 0:00:23] ▶
Maybe we should probably give people
[0:00:23 - 0:00:24] ▶
your bona fides a bit.
[0:00:24 - 0:00:26] ▶
You ran intelligence and content intelligence for them.
[0:00:26 - 0:00:31] ▶
Yeah.
[0:00:31 - 0:00:31] ▶
So after college, I spent some time
[0:00:31 - 0:00:34] ▶
into the United States Army, spent some time
[0:00:34 - 0:00:37] ▶
in military intelligence.
[0:00:37 - 0:00:38] ▶
And then from there, I was recruited
[0:00:38 - 0:00:40] ▶
into some special activity programs
[0:00:40 - 0:00:42] ▶
where I became a special agent in counterintelligence,
[0:00:42 - 0:00:44] ▶
investigating terrorism, and espionage.
[0:00:44 - 0:00:46] ▶
In 2009, early 2009, I was brought in
[0:00:46 - 0:00:50] ▶
to run counterintelligence for that program.
[0:00:50 - 0:00:53] ▶
What is now known as ATIP, the advanced aerospace threat
[0:00:53 - 0:00:56] ▶
identification program?
[0:00:56 - 0:00:57] ▶
And later on, I wound up being one of its senior members.
[0:00:57 - 0:01:00] ▶
Right.
[0:01:00 - 0:01:00] ▶
So you are a military man, a veteran,
[0:01:00 - 0:01:04] ▶
you are intelligence officer,
[0:01:04 - 0:01:06] ▶
counterintelligence officer, a grown adult,
[0:01:06 - 0:01:10] ▶
by your own words, you're also a fat-based person.
[0:01:10 - 0:01:14] ▶
You've said that in fact, in interviews.
[0:01:14 - 0:01:17] ▶
But I'm also proof that you don't have to be intelligent
[0:01:17 - 0:01:19] ▶
to be an intelligence.
[0:01:19 - 0:01:20] ▶
Well, no, I wouldn't go that far.
[0:01:20 - 0:01:21] ▶
Let me just put that out there.
[0:01:21 - 0:01:23] ▶
OK, well, let me put this out there.
[0:01:23 - 0:01:24] ▶
What the f*** is going on with these aliens?
[0:01:24 - 0:01:26] ▶
That's aliens?
[0:01:26 - 0:01:27] ▶
So what is alien?
[0:01:27 - 0:01:28] ▶
What is going on with this aliens?
[0:01:28 - 0:01:29] ▶
What is this?
[0:01:29 - 0:01:30] ▶
So the US government, for many decades,
[0:01:30 - 0:01:32] ▶
has been investing a lot of taxpayer money
[0:01:32 - 0:01:34] ▶
looking into this topic here.
[0:01:34 - 0:01:37] ▶
And it turns out that there are absolutely technologies
[0:01:37 - 0:01:39] ▶
that are coming into our controlled US aerospace
[0:01:39 - 0:01:42] ▶
over our sensitive military installations.
[0:01:42 - 0:01:45] ▶
May have the ability to interfere with a nuclear equities.
[0:01:45 - 0:01:48] ▶
And yeah, it's real.
[0:01:48 - 0:01:50] ▶
And not only are pilots picking it up and reporting it,
[0:01:50 - 0:01:53] ▶
also we've got on electro-optical data,
[0:01:53 - 0:01:55] ▶
like gun camera footage, flare footage,
[0:01:55 - 0:01:57] ▶
and also radar data.
[0:01:57 - 0:01:58] ▶
And it's not just here.
[0:01:58 - 0:01:59] ▶
It looks like it's pretty pervasive all over the world now.
[0:01:59 - 0:02:02] ▶
So what?
[0:02:05 - 0:02:05] ▶
There's aliens.
[0:02:05 - 0:02:06] ▶
There's f***ing aliens.
[0:02:06 - 0:02:07] ▶
There's f***ing aliens right now.
[0:02:07 - 0:02:10] ▶
And doing shit.
[0:02:10 - 0:02:11] ▶
What are you doing?
[0:02:11 - 0:02:12] ▶
How you put those two words together?
[0:02:12 - 0:02:14] ▶
I'm not sure.
[0:02:14 - 0:02:14] ▶
I'm not sure they're necessarily doing it.
[0:02:14 - 0:02:17] ▶
Yo, there's f***ing aliens coming up.
[0:02:17 - 0:02:19] ▶
OK, so what are you doing?
[0:02:19 - 0:02:20] ▶
What are you doing here?
[0:02:20 - 0:02:21] ▶
What are you doing?
[0:02:21 - 0:02:22] ▶
So it appears that they're very interested in our technology.
[0:02:22 - 0:02:25] ▶
We don't know yet.
[0:02:25 - 0:02:26] ▶
I want to be very clear here.
[0:02:26 - 0:02:27] ▶
Why? They came here.
[0:02:27 - 0:02:28] ▶
They don't want to look at my iPhone 16.
[0:02:28 - 0:02:31] ▶
No, but they got shit that flew across the stars.
[0:02:31 - 0:02:34] ▶
They don't care about it.
[0:02:34 - 0:02:34] ▶
They are very interested in our military equities
[0:02:34 - 0:02:38] ▶
and capabilities and also our nuclear technology.
[0:02:38 - 0:02:40] ▶
And I think what's, for me, what was most compelling
[0:02:40 - 0:02:43] ▶
is that in some cases, you had literally, literally,
[0:02:43 - 0:02:46] ▶
near misses of US combat aircraft coming
[0:02:46 - 0:02:49] ▶
within 15 feet of these objects.
[0:02:49 - 0:02:51] ▶
In some cases, literally splitting a combat formation
[0:02:51 - 0:02:54] ▶
right down the middle.
[0:02:54 - 0:02:55] ▶
These are things that can do things that none of our vehicles
[0:02:55 - 0:02:58] ▶
can replicate.
[0:02:58 - 0:02:59] ▶
Their performance capabilities are far beyond anything
[0:02:59 - 0:03:02] ▶
that we have.
[0:03:02 - 0:03:03] ▶
And quite frankly, there's not a whole lot we can do about it
[0:03:03 - 0:03:05] ▶
right now.
[0:03:05 - 0:03:06] ▶
So beyond the shadow of a doubt, as you've
[0:03:09 - 0:03:12] ▶
seen the evidence, there are aliens.
[0:03:12 - 0:03:14] ▶
Oh, the other ones have already come out.
[0:03:14 - 0:03:15] ▶
Look, you have a former director of national intelligence,
[0:03:15 - 0:03:18] ▶
a former director of CIA, a former president of the United
[0:03:18 - 0:03:21] ▶
States, all coming out and saying, officially, yeah,
[0:03:21 - 0:03:25] ▶
there's something to this.
[0:03:25 - 0:03:26] ▶
I mean, these things look like they're definitely
[0:03:26 - 0:03:30] ▶
interested in our stuff.
[0:03:30 - 0:03:31] ▶
And furthermore, when the government first came out
[0:03:31 - 0:03:34] ▶
with their new UFO program called Arrow, their first report
[0:03:34 - 0:03:37] ▶
said, yeah, there's 143 of these incidents,
[0:03:37 - 0:03:39] ▶
but we expect these numbers to go down as we figure them out.
[0:03:39 - 0:03:43] ▶
The next report that came out, there was over 300.
[0:03:43 - 0:03:45] ▶
The next report, there's now over 800.
[0:03:45 - 0:03:47] ▶
So the number's increasing, not decreasing.
[0:03:47 - 0:03:49] ▶
OK, so what is this gang buried in the cycle or something?
[0:03:49 - 0:03:53] ▶
Because Donald Trump says, I hate Taylor Swift.
[0:03:53 - 0:03:55] ▶
So we just never see this stuff.
[0:03:55 - 0:03:56] ▶
Will you presidents?
[0:03:56 - 0:03:58] ▶
The government has said these things out around.
[0:03:58 - 0:04:00] ▶
Yeah, they're in a lives problem.
[0:04:00 - 0:04:01] ▶
It's a bureaucracy.
[0:04:01 - 0:04:02] ▶
Look, the men and women find men and women of the Pentagon
[0:04:02 - 0:04:06] ▶
and the US government doing credible work.
[0:04:06 - 0:04:08] ▶
And most of the time, we are a lot better
[0:04:08 - 0:04:11] ▶
off as a society because of their professionalism.
[0:04:11 - 0:04:13] ▶
Unfortunately, in this particular case,
[0:04:13 - 0:04:15] ▶
the bureaucracy was a problem.
[0:04:15 - 0:04:16] ▶
We continue to try to get alarm bells
[0:04:16 - 0:04:20] ▶
up to the Secretary of Defense over and over again,
[0:04:20 - 0:04:22] ▶
but there was this layer of these proverbial Praetorian
[0:04:22 - 0:04:25] ▶
guards that didn't want to tell the Secretary of Defense
[0:04:25 - 0:04:29] ▶
that we were spending taxpayer money
[0:04:29 - 0:04:31] ▶
looking into these things.
[0:04:31 - 0:04:32] ▶
And oh, by the way, turns out they're real.
[0:04:32 - 0:04:35] ▶
OK, are you, with all due respect,
[0:04:35 - 0:04:38] ▶
is there any chance that you are accidentally
[0:04:38 - 0:04:40] ▶
describing the synopsis to Independence Day?
[0:04:40 - 0:04:44] ▶
Because that's the movie.
[0:04:44 - 0:04:45] ▶
That wasn't the movie.
[0:04:45 - 0:04:46] ▶
They couldn't get to the dude because they wouldn't listen.
[0:04:46 - 0:04:49] ▶
So you're telling me, aliens are going to take over
[0:04:49 - 0:04:51] ▶
because of US government bureaucracy?
[0:04:51 - 0:04:53] ▶
Well, I certainly hope that's not the case.
[0:04:53 - 0:04:55] ▶
I think, when we look at this issue here,
[0:04:55 - 0:04:58] ▶
this has been going on for decades.
[0:04:58 - 0:04:59] ▶
This has been going on since the late 1940s.
[0:04:59 - 0:05:02] ▶
And I want to say that people go, wait a minute.
[0:05:02 - 0:05:04] ▶
You talk about Roswell?
[0:05:04 - 0:05:05] ▶
Roswell, real?
[0:05:05 - 0:05:06] ▶
Was Roswell real?
[0:05:06 - 0:05:07] ▶
It was.
[0:05:07 - 0:05:08] ▶
OK, so what was that Roswell?
[0:05:08 - 0:05:11] ▶
There was a crash.
[0:05:11 - 0:05:13] ▶
It was a vehicle that had broken into two pieces.
[0:05:13 - 0:05:16] ▶
And it was recovered by the United States government,
[0:05:16 - 0:05:18] ▶
taking to a secure military installation.
[0:05:18 - 0:05:20] ▶
And then from there, it went out to certain locations.
[0:05:20 - 0:05:24] ▶
What is in that book?
[0:05:24 - 0:05:25] ▶
I'm a lot to talk about.
[0:05:25 - 0:05:26] ▶
That went through the Pentagon review process.
[0:05:26 - 0:05:27] ▶
So I am legally able to talk about it.
[0:05:27 - 0:05:30] ▶
There are things that I'm still not yet
[0:05:30 - 0:05:31] ▶
allowed to talk about.
[0:05:31 - 0:05:33] ▶
What are those things?
[0:05:33 - 0:05:33] ▶
Tell us those things.
[0:05:33 - 0:05:36] ▶
That sounds like, well, let's see here.
[0:05:36 - 0:05:38] ▶
I do not look good in an orange jumpsuit.
[0:05:38 - 0:05:40] ▶
So I got to be very careful.
[0:05:40 - 0:05:42] ▶
Yeah, you're going to look good in whatever jumpsuit
[0:05:42 - 0:05:44] ▶
aliens put on you.
[0:05:44 - 0:05:45] ▶
You better be.
[0:05:45 - 0:05:46] ▶
We better be.
[0:05:46 - 0:05:47] ▶
We better be.
[0:05:47 - 0:05:48] ▶
This is the, it sounds like we're battling aliens
[0:05:48 - 0:05:50] ▶
and bureaucracy here.
[0:05:50 - 0:05:51] ▶
Can we?
[0:05:51 - 0:05:52] ▶
I don't know if we can fight a two front wall on this.
[0:05:52 - 0:05:54] ▶
Can we choose a side to fight here?
[0:05:54 - 0:05:55] ▶
I think I'd prefer to fight aliens if I had to choose
[0:05:55 - 0:05:58] ▶
between bureaucracy and aliens.
[0:05:58 - 0:06:00] ▶
To be honest, is.
[0:06:00 - 0:06:01] ▶
But OK, so in the book, you say that, and by the way,
[0:06:01 - 0:06:04] ▶
I mean, I read the book and it's a very, it's a patient.
[0:06:04 - 0:06:09] ▶
It's very well written.
[0:06:09 - 0:06:10] ▶
It's easier to follow.
[0:06:10 - 0:06:12] ▶
Like in it, you say like the best case scenario right now
[0:06:12 - 0:06:18] ▶
is that aliens are national security threat.
[0:06:18 - 0:06:21] ▶
Yes, you.
[0:06:21 - 0:06:22] ▶
To determine if something is a threat,
[0:06:22 - 0:06:24] ▶
it's really a very simple calculus.
[0:06:24 - 0:06:25] ▶
It's capabilities versus intent.
[0:06:25 - 0:06:28] ▶
Now, we've seen some of the capabilities.
[0:06:28 - 0:06:30] ▶
We still have no idea the intent.
[0:06:30 - 0:06:32] ▶
So therefore, we don't know if it's a threat.
[0:06:32 - 0:06:34] ▶
But let me give you a very quick analogy here.
[0:06:34 - 0:06:37] ▶
You probably live in a great lovely area,
[0:06:37 - 0:06:39] ▶
just like your audience here.
[0:06:39 - 0:06:40] ▶
Do you lock your door at night?
[0:06:40 - 0:06:41] ▶
I live in New York City, so no, not really.
[0:06:41 - 0:06:43] ▶
Do you lock your front door?
[0:06:43 - 0:06:44] ▶
It's covered in this aliens here right now in New York City.
[0:06:44 - 0:06:46] ▶
As you can see, yeah, I do love my front door.
[0:06:46 - 0:06:48] ▶
So in most people do.
[0:06:48 - 0:06:49] ▶
And let's say you lock your windows and you turn on your alarm.
[0:06:49 - 0:06:52] ▶
Let's say one Sunday morning, you come downstairs
[0:06:52 - 0:06:54] ▶
and have a hot cup of coffee or tea.
[0:06:54 - 0:06:55] ▶
And despite your doors being locked in your window
[0:06:55 - 0:06:58] ▶
and your alarm on, there's now size 12 muddy boot prints
[0:06:58 - 0:07:01] ▶
in your living room floor in your carpet
[0:07:01 - 0:07:03] ▶
that weren't there the night before.
[0:07:03 - 0:07:04] ▶
Now, no one's been hurt, nothing's out of place.
[0:07:04 - 0:07:06] ▶
But despite you doing all this other stuff and locking doors
[0:07:06 - 0:07:09] ▶
and making sure the alarm's on,
[0:07:09 - 0:07:11] ▶
there are now footprints in your living room carpet
[0:07:11 - 0:07:12] ▶
that weren't there the night before.
[0:07:12 - 0:07:13] ▶
My question to you is, is that a threat?
[0:07:13 - 0:07:16] ▶
And so my response is, from a national security perspective,
[0:07:16 - 0:07:19] ▶
I was wearing my national security hat,
[0:07:19 - 0:07:20] ▶
it could be if it wanted to be,
[0:07:20 - 0:07:22] ▶
so we probably should figure out how it's getting into the house.
[0:07:22 - 0:07:24] ▶
You should probably move at that point.
[0:07:24 - 0:07:26] ▶
We should probably forget out of that apartment.
[0:07:26 - 0:07:28] ▶
There's boot prints still working around.
[0:07:28 - 0:07:31] ▶
So these things are, we are encountering them
[0:07:31 - 0:07:33] ▶
over controlled US airspace, like I said,
[0:07:33 - 0:07:35] ▶
over sensitive military installations.
[0:07:35 - 0:07:37] ▶
And so from a national security perspective,
[0:07:37 - 0:07:39] ▶
we've got to figure out what these things are.
[0:07:39 - 0:07:40] ▶
No shit, no shit, we've got to figure out.
[0:07:40 - 0:07:42] ▶
What's good?
[0:07:42 - 0:07:43] ▶
You're saying you're being very professional
[0:07:43 - 0:07:45] ▶
or you're being very technical
[0:07:45 - 0:07:46] ▶
and you're being very calm as an intelligence officer
[0:07:46 - 0:07:48] ▶
and then you're saying this alien said
[0:07:48 - 0:07:50] ▶
that we don't know what they want.
[0:07:50 - 0:07:52] ▶
What, okay, what should people take away from this?
[0:07:52 - 0:07:54] ▶
Is aliens and what, fire?
[0:07:54 - 0:07:56] ▶
When you see it shoot on site?
[0:07:56 - 0:07:57] ▶
What should you do?
[0:07:57 - 0:07:58] ▶
No, don't do that.
[0:07:58 - 0:07:59] ▶
I would recommend not doing that.
[0:07:59 - 0:08:01] ▶
I think what people need to know right now,
[0:08:01 - 0:08:04] ▶
the US government is taking this topic very seriously.
[0:08:04 - 0:08:06] ▶
There's several pieces of legislation
[0:08:06 - 0:08:08] ▶
that are going through Congress right now.
[0:08:08 - 0:08:10] ▶
There are members in both the House and the Senate
[0:08:10 - 0:08:13] ▶
that have been briefed by whistleblowers on this topic.
[0:08:13 - 0:08:16] ▶
People who have been part of certain efforts,
[0:08:16 - 0:08:18] ▶
UAP efforts in the past.
[0:08:18 - 0:08:20] ▶
You should not get mixed up the border act, right?
[0:08:20 - 0:08:22] ▶
Because that, when you say aliens,
[0:08:22 - 0:08:23] ▶
I don't think they really know which ones you're talking about.
[0:08:23 - 0:08:25] ▶
Right, well, these, I mean, yeah.
[0:08:25 - 0:08:27] ▶
You have illegally aliens in them.
[0:08:27 - 0:08:29] ▶
You got, illegal aliens.
[0:08:29 - 0:08:30] ▶
Yeah, you got some on them.
[0:08:30 - 0:08:31] ▶
Right, right.
[0:08:31 - 0:08:32] ▶
Right.
[0:08:32 - 0:08:33] ▶
Right.
[0:08:33 - 0:08:34] ▶
So there's acts coming out, there's legislation.
[0:08:35 - 0:08:37] ▶
What legislating against intergalactic aliens?
[0:08:37 - 0:08:41] ▶
Well, I think the idea is to open the door for whistleblowers
[0:08:41 - 0:08:44] ▶
to come out and be able to have a protected conversation
[0:08:44 - 0:08:47] ▶
with Congress.
[0:08:47 - 0:08:48] ▶
So Congress can then have a conversation
[0:08:48 - 0:08:49] ▶
with American people.
[0:08:49 - 0:08:50] ▶
I think that's really what this is about.
[0:08:50 - 0:08:52] ▶
And certainly I think there are certain people in,
[0:08:52 - 0:08:54] ▶
by the way, for the first time,
[0:08:54 - 0:08:56] ▶
this is a bipartisan issue.
[0:08:56 - 0:08:57] ▶
You've got both liberals and conservatives on the hill.
[0:08:57 - 0:09:00] ▶
Can you believe it?
[0:09:00 - 0:09:01] ▶
Of all things, UAP, right?
[0:09:01 - 0:09:03] ▶
No, see, that's the most off-etch thing you've seen.
[0:09:03 - 0:09:05] ▶
I know, right.
[0:09:05 - 0:09:06] ▶
This is going to be that.
[0:09:06 - 0:09:07] ▶
Right, that is not.
[0:09:07 - 0:09:08] ▶
Who would have thought?
[0:09:08 - 0:09:08] ▶
I'll believe aliens.
[0:09:08 - 0:09:10] ▶
I know.
[0:09:10 - 0:09:10] ▶
This, right.
[0:09:10 - 0:09:11] ▶
There's no way these guys are working together.
[0:09:11 - 0:09:14] ▶
They are.
[0:09:14 - 0:09:15] ▶
I swear to God, I can't say who they are,
[0:09:15 - 0:09:17] ▶
but their names have already been, I think,
[0:09:17 - 0:09:20] ▶
in the press quite a bit.
[0:09:20 - 0:09:21] ▶
But on both sides, they are taking this topic very seriously.
[0:09:21 - 0:09:24] ▶
A lot of these folks have military backgrounds.
[0:09:24 - 0:09:26] ▶
Why don't they just let it out?
[0:09:26 - 0:09:28] ▶
Just let the news out.
[0:09:28 - 0:09:29] ▶
Well, okay.
[0:09:29 - 0:09:30] ▶
Just tell people, just show them the freaking,
[0:09:30 - 0:09:31] ▶
show them the photo of the alien selfie with the president.
[0:09:31 - 0:09:34] ▶
And then let's get it out there and let's handle it.
[0:09:34 - 0:09:36] ▶
We've spent many decades backing ourselves
[0:09:36 - 0:09:39] ▶
into a corner on this conversation.
[0:09:39 - 0:09:41] ▶
And the government has said publicly what its position is.
[0:09:41 - 0:09:45] ▶
Now it's in a situation where it's having to unwind
[0:09:45 - 0:09:48] ▶
that conversation and say, look, folks,
[0:09:48 - 0:09:50] ▶
we haven't always been completely forthcoming
[0:09:50 - 0:09:52] ▶
and truthful with you.
[0:09:52 - 0:09:53] ▶
And that's a hard conversation to have.
[0:09:53 - 0:09:55] ▶
We talked about this.
[0:09:55 - 0:09:55] ▶
Aliens have the conversation.
[0:09:55 - 0:09:58] ▶
There's aliens.
[0:09:58 - 0:09:58] ▶
There's aliens.
[0:09:58 - 0:10:00] ▶
There's aliens.
[0:10:00 - 0:10:01] ▶
I don't know what...
[0:10:02 - 0:10:03] ▶
All right, well, can we stop them?
[0:10:03 - 0:10:06] ▶
Well, I don't know.
[0:10:07 - 0:10:09] ▶
That's not a question for me.
[0:10:09 - 0:10:10] ▶
That's a question for me.
[0:10:10 - 0:10:11] ▶
It's kind of a question for you.
[0:10:11 - 0:10:12] ▶
I think you're the only one who can...
[0:10:12 - 0:10:14] ▶
Because it sounds like your attitude also seems to be like,
[0:10:14 - 0:10:16] ▶
yeah, they're here.
[0:10:16 - 0:10:17] ▶
I've seen them.
[0:10:17 - 0:10:18] ▶
They have capabilities beyond understanding.
[0:10:18 - 0:10:21] ▶
And nothing much we can do about it.
[0:10:21 - 0:10:22] ▶
So, you know, keep watching Paramount Plus.
[0:10:22 - 0:10:25] ▶
And I'm not supposed to do about this now.
[0:10:25 - 0:10:28] ▶
I think, look, I personally think
[0:10:28 - 0:10:30] ▶
Americans can handle the truth about this topic.
[0:10:30 - 0:10:32] ▶
I think it's...
[0:10:32 - 0:10:33] ▶
I mean, we can joke a lot about it,
[0:10:33 - 0:10:35] ▶
but the reality is that these things
[0:10:35 - 0:10:37] ▶
whatever they are, wherever they're from.
[0:10:37 - 0:10:39] ▶
The ****ing aliens.
[0:10:39 - 0:10:40] ▶
This is real.
[0:10:40 - 0:10:41] ▶
You know, real?
[0:10:41 - 0:10:42] ▶
All right.
[0:10:42 - 0:10:43] ▶
Yeah, it's real.
[0:10:43 - 0:10:44] ▶
Whatever it is.
[0:10:44 - 0:10:45] ▶
Okay, well, is that a chance that if the government
[0:10:45 - 0:10:46] ▶
tells people aliens are real and shows them
[0:10:46 - 0:10:48] ▶
we'll unite together in a global effort to defeat them
[0:10:48 - 0:10:50] ▶
and...
[0:10:50 - 0:10:51] ▶
Well, you know, there was a famous speech by Reagan
[0:10:51 - 0:10:56] ▶
back in the 80s, where he...
[0:10:56 - 0:10:57] ▶
By Bill Pullman.
[0:10:57 - 0:10:58] ▶
And he's saying,
[0:10:59 - 0:11:02] ▶
The truth of this came out.
[0:11:02 - 0:11:03] ▶
It would probably unites the world, but yeah...
[0:11:03 - 0:11:06] ▶
We need it now. Let's go aliens.
[0:11:06 - 0:11:07] ▶
Alien, that's gone now.
[0:11:07 - 0:11:10] ▶
This is the time.
[0:11:10 - 0:11:12] ▶
The reality is...
[0:11:12 - 0:11:13] ▶
We got a lot going down now.
[0:11:13 - 0:11:16] ▶
Aliens, come...
[0:11:16 - 0:11:16] ▶
Aliens.
[0:11:16 - 0:11:17] ▶
Now I'm down for aliens now, okay.
[0:11:17 - 0:11:21] ▶
If we look,
[0:11:21 - 0:11:22] ▶
United Congress is already a big enough challenge.
[0:11:22 - 0:11:24] ▶
Let's get these folks on the same sheet of music.
[0:11:24 - 0:11:26] ▶
Let's get the briefings they need
[0:11:26 - 0:11:28] ▶
and then let them have a conversation with their constituents.
[0:11:28 - 0:11:30] ▶
You're talking about paperwork.
[0:11:30 - 0:11:31] ▶
I'm talking about aliens.
[0:11:31 - 0:11:33] ▶
Okay, but the government survives off of paperwork.
[0:11:33 - 0:11:37] ▶
It is a bureaucracy, unfortunately.
[0:11:37 - 0:11:38] ▶
So we have to...
[0:11:38 - 0:11:39] ▶
Look, there's a voice in.
[0:11:39 - 0:11:41] ▶
There's a right way to do things
[0:11:41 - 0:11:43] ▶
and then you can do also it right now.
[0:11:43 - 0:11:45] ▶
But they're not necessarily the same thing.
[0:11:45 - 0:11:47] ▶
Doing things right and right now may not be, you know,
[0:11:47 - 0:11:50] ▶
the same thing.
[0:11:50 - 0:11:51] ▶
What do you mean? There's aliens
[0:11:51 - 0:11:52] ▶
and you want to go through bureaucracy
[0:11:52 - 0:11:54] ▶
and try to unite Congress before you can fight the aliens?
[0:11:54 - 0:11:56] ▶
I don't fight the aliens.
[0:11:56 - 0:11:58] ▶
Get the aliens out.
[0:11:58 - 0:11:59] ▶
I think there's opportunity here.
[0:11:59 - 0:12:01] ▶
In the last seven years, I think we've come further
[0:12:01 - 0:12:03] ▶
on this conversation than we have in the last 70.
[0:12:03 - 0:12:06] ▶
There are elements now in the government
[0:12:06 - 0:12:07] ▶
that want this conversation to occur.
[0:12:07 - 0:12:09] ▶
They want the American people to know,
[0:12:09 - 0:12:10] ▶
look, this is the worst kept secret at this point,
[0:12:10 - 0:12:13] ▶
probably in the U.S. government.
[0:12:13 - 0:12:15] ▶
I mean, it's pathetic.
[0:12:15 - 0:12:16] ▶
The fact that so many people now in our militaries,
[0:12:16 - 0:12:19] ▶
our intelligence communities,
[0:12:19 - 0:12:21] ▶
even in some cases, come up close
[0:12:21 - 0:12:22] ▶
and personal with these things.
[0:12:22 - 0:12:23] ▶
Wait, what?
[0:12:23 - 0:12:24] ▶
Yeah.
[0:12:24 - 0:12:25] ▶
Okay, this is, okay, this is crazy.
[0:12:25 - 0:12:28] ▶
Anyway, imminent is...
[0:12:28 - 0:12:30] ▶
LAUGHTER
[0:12:30 - 0:12:32] ▶
imminent is available now.
[0:12:32 - 0:12:34] ▶
I wish we could talk for hours
[0:12:34 - 0:12:35] ▶
by this thing, but not.
[0:12:35 - 0:12:37] ▶
We may as well be talking to everybody.
[0:12:37 - 0:12:39] ▶
