The Kristian Harloff Show - WOW! Possible UFO spotted tailing President Biden and Air Force One? What was it?

Episode Date: December 26, 2023

THE BIG THING (MAIN SHOW) Become a Patron!: https://www.patreon.com/TheBigThingShow We are back! What in the world is going on? Was there an actual UFO sighting following President Biden's trip to Los Angles. Was a UAP trailing Air Force One? We check out the video and give our thoughts. The bigger question is, once again, why isn't the main stream media covering this?? Whether they believe it or not, it seems that there is something going on. They didn't cover the Schumer-Rounds amendment. They barely give it segments on their social media channels. We also take a look at an interview given by our own Pavel Ibarra Meda who had journalist Matt Laslo on his show and asked him if he thinks there will be a new hearing in 2024 and why some senators have been quiet as of late. We dive into it on today's UAP Tuesday!  #uap #ufo #twitter #alien #media #conspiracy #news SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: AG1: http://www.DrinkAG1.com/BIGTHING ROCKETMONEY: http://www.RocketMoney.com/THING JOYMODE: http://www.usejoymode.com CODE BIG THING I NTERVIEW WITH MATT LASLO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2awkm...

I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I hope you enjoyed yourself. I hope you had nice meals and spent time with the family. Do whatever you need to do. We're looking out in the sky every time you walked outside because that's what I do now. Every time I'm walking around, I'm looking up in the sky. So if you're joining us here today, what will we be talking about? Well, in the, why isn't the news covering this story?

apparently there was the UFO or UAP potentially tracking Air Force One. Did it turn out to be UAP? Was it something else? Speaking of that, speaking of UAPs and other things that could be, did they find something on Mars? That's another report that came out recently, that there might have been something crashed on Mars. So we'll definitely talk about that.

Military, we're always talking about the military, always having reports of what do they know, don't know. there's a lot of ex-military coming out and saying things, well, there's another ex-military talking about that. Indeed, the military has been covering up UAPs. Some interviews that we'll talk about. We have an interviewer on the ground talking about some things going on in the world and UAP. And speaking of Air Force One, speaking of President Biden, and apparently they have signed something very important, very important into play. And we'll go over that as well.

It's me and Mark Riley. If you're brand new to the channel, you've never been here before, be part of this conversation. It's very important to be talking about this. And if you're stumbling upon this for the first time, hit that button. We're trying to get to 200,000 subscribers. We do this every Tuesday. We want to be part of this community. We want this community talking.

I say this every time. Sometimes I forget to say it at the end of the show or in the middle of the show. And it's like, look, you're coming here and you're talking to people like yourself who are just trying to find out answers. We're not pretending to be experts. We're just trying to find out answers. So it's me and Mark, Yodius Riley. It's the big thing. It's UAP.

Let's do it. All right, it is the big thing. It is UAP Tuesday. It's myself, Christian Harlock. Joined, as always, by Mark Yodius Riley. Mark, how was your holiday? Fantastic, Christian. How was yours?

I ate a lot. I was with the family. Yeah. We cooked. We opened presents. Couldn't ask for anything better. And that's what you got to do. So glad to have you here.

things have definitely gone down as we were talking about last week on catastrophic disclosure. Well, there's things mark that are going on in the news right now that's pretty nuts. And I don't know if you, I mean, obviously you saw this report that I sent you that we should be talking about or everybody should be talking about. And let me get to it. Here it is. It's USA Today actually reported on it and says UFO or balloon. There's an unidentified object spotted over Air Force One, and it may have a simple explanation. Let's see the report.

All right, Mark, this is from USA Today, and it says UFO or balloon. Unidentified objects spotted over Air Force One may have simple explanation. Unsurprisingly, speculation that the footage captured December 10th above LAX showed an object, extraterrestrial in origin began almost immediately. All right. So a pair of amateur plane tracker. captured strange footage earlier this month of an unidentified airborne craft that appeared to be hovering over Air Force One as President Joe Biden visited Los Angeles. Surprisingly, speculation was that it was extraterrestrial in origin and it began almost immediately. A few viewers are saying we saw a UFO, Peter Solerzano, who runs the YouTube channel LA flights with his brother Joshua Solerzano, said with a laugh during the December 10th live stream.

The plane spotters had set up that day to film footage of Los Angeles. International Airport, LAX, as two F-35 fighter jets patrol the skies for the commander-in-chief. While they were related to film the jets being refueled mid-air by a K-C-10 tanker aircraft, they didn't expect to capture anything as unusual as the white sphere that came into view. What's more, the brothers didn't just capture footage of it once, but three times. Yes, give us a note if you want to keep seeing this. Do that? Do that? Every few moments.

I saw it. I watched this whole thing. way oh really yeah i'm not too sure to what it was oh my goodness yeah someone's gonna have to watch replay and see what that was something hold on what was that going to go in the opposite direction i'm gonna have to see the replay flying above it comes back give us a yes give us a no if you want to keep seeing this keep seeing this a few viewers are saying we saw a UFO look at that docking peter absolutely incredible look at that Where are they right now? I wonder what that was that was flying above, though. And the F-35 now connecting to the boom of the KC-10 extender.

Enjoying his work right now. We saw something else flying above, too. Geez, Louise, Josh was spotting the UFOs, man. Are you ready? Someone has to watch the replay on that one, too. Who's going to see the replay? Something shiny that was, like, it was moving around weird. Could have been a bird.

Yeah? His work right now. His work right now. Yes. What is that? Oh, that's it. Hold on a minute. That's one of the things.

That's... Is that it? Is that one of the UAPs that we've been talking about? I'm kind of scared of looking at this. Hold on a minute, guys. This is one of the UAPs that we've been looking at. Is this it, Josh? You know, Peter, that doesn't look like...

I'm not too sure of what that is. Could it be a balloon? I'm thinking balloon. Yeah? Are you just saying that to keep the certain authorities away? What do you guys think? Unless it like just

zooms by or something. I'm thinking balloon. Yeah. What do you guys think? Author Mick West, the well-known UFO debunker, reviewed the footage for Dailymail.com and concluded it was most likely a balloon.

It's always the answer, a balloon. And there's so many balloons flying around in the sky. It was like a mad clown releasing balloons. As for the apparent motion in the video, Wes said it's likely an illusion caused by the balloon, making it closer to the camera than fast-moving plane in the background. It looks like a balloon and moves like a balloon.

That first one zipping across the sky was not a balloon. What are you talking about? That was, but they were following the plane, and that's what he's saying. And I'm kind of with him on that one, because the balloon would be closer maybe and they're following the plane, which is moving at a great deal of speed, you're going to see that balloon go like that.

But I wasn't buying it either, Christian, until they held on it and it just kind of, I'm thinking balloon for me, but I wanted to believe that they're following Biden's plane. I don't know what it was. The Pentagon's relatively new office to investigate UFOs, which the government refers to as UAP, has identified more than 500 military encounters with the craft since 2004,

which some of those reports defies an easy explanation. The Pentagon's all-domain anomaly resolution office known as the AARO has said many have been determined to be natural occurrences, such as unpiloted aircraft or weather bullets. NASA is similarly insistent that no conclusive evidence has been found to determine anything, yada, yada, yada. All right. So, and that kind of couples up to the next thing. Riley, you know, in that the legislation that was essentially gutted, the big thing that actually, you know, the UAPDA, which was that was essentially what they were fighting for, but they wanted more disclosure through it, it was gutted, there was less because of all the stuff that happened that we discussed tirelessly on this show. But what is pretty monumental is that Biden did acknowledge the bill itself.

It's signed. It's approved. And it is a step in the right direction as we have, you know, it's, and especially in something like this, which who knows what the hell it was. We just watched. I don't know. But what I will say is that I, it's not, it just, this is a serious thing that people are talking about it. And you have it put it together the way that it is. Yeah. It's good news that we've gotten this far, I think. And I kind of. echo what I said last week. I'm taking it as a win for now. And that if Biden's aware, he's signing this thing, that's some good, good news. And Schumer's coming out saying that, look, we're going to try to go back and, you know, get more of what we need, which is the transparency. Christian, we've been saying this over and over and over and over again. It's just the transparency that we want.

Yeah. What the hell is this? And to have this many people, we have Rubio involved now. we have Chuck Schumer. We have a number of people bipartisan, and that is just beautiful to see. And if Biden's taking this seriously and actually perking up and listening to this,

that's a win. It's a big win. And I think that there's other reports, even so where people are, there's like a report and other, and I guess that it kind of plays into this next thing that we can talk about is that from Newsweek. And again, more reports from more outlets that you're like,

okay, more people are reporting on it than just us. Right, right. Nothing against us, but I'm just saying like you want like bigger, bigger sites like Newsweek and the New York Times and stuff of that nature. And so you get Newsweek who has this interesting article here, Mark, and it's, and it says extraterrestrial breakthrough will happen in our lifetime, scientists say. A breakthrough in scientific research into extraterrestrial life could be on the horizon,

and leading scientists have said, as both political and scientific minds delve into the Mercury world of unidentified anomalous phenomenon with new determination. UFOs refer to aerial phenomena that cannot be immediately identified or explained while the term UAP is broader. Within our lifetime, even very soon, I think we are going to discover if there is life on other planets. Ravi Karapuru, planetary scientists with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, told Newsweek. We are approaching a golden moment to which more and more scientific minds are turning their attention, he said. I would say within our lifetime, we would be able to find life on other planets. There's no question.

He added, there's no question. That's big. It is quite possible that evidence counting as a breakthrough on unknown phenomena could be discovered within a year or two, said theoretical astrophysicist. Avi Lope, professor at Harvard University, who is leading its pioneering Galileo project looking into, extraterrestrial technologies. The Galileo project is the first scientific project that is analyzing UAPs in a systematic fashion over a long period of time using instruments that are fully collaborated and under control, he told Newsweek. So, whenever you take a path that was not taken, there is a good chance that you will find low-hanging fruit, and that's the way that I look at it.

The past few years have seen conversation about extraterrestrial life move from the fringe to the mainstream in both politics and science. Researchers describe a marked difference in how the search for aliens or life inside and beyond our solar system is now treated by lawmakers and the scientific community fueled by a surge in public interest. The U.S. military and others have lodged many examples of unknown phenomenon over decades, but there has been no concrete proof that any are related to extraterrestrial life. Yet dramatic footage released by the likes of the U.S. Navy and veterans' testimonies capture the interests of Congress, members of the public and scientists dedicated to look beyond our world. Yeah, man. I don't know. There's going to be

Something. And I wonder, though, and this is, let me put on my tinfoil hat if I can. No, well, I'll get mine too. Yeah, please. I wonder, though, you know, as we, you and I have discussed many times on this show, that this is the most that people have been talking about this. This is the longest it's ever been to where it hasn't been as taboo, that there's more people who don't feel ashamed talking about it anymore. Are people in this position now in a spot where it's like, you know, because they know the people that are covering this thing out for so long know that eventually they're going to have to. There's only so many Mike, whatever his name is that can block bills for that long before something comes out. And they're prepping it going, all right, let's just put something together. This is, it's going to get out now, guys.

Are they aware of it? And that's why scientists are going, yeah, I feel like something's going to happen because they got an inside track. that Martha Stern did it over there. Maybe. Maybe. I, you know, I think it's a combination of the general public finally tuning in. We have, we need the mainstream media to start really covering it. You know, we saw, I saw an article that was like, you know, what is this?

You know, the transparency of this and the Congress is signing the bill while the media shrugs. You know, that was that that was a headline that really stuck out to me because nobody's covering it. Nobody is covering. I mean, that couple weeks ago, Chuck Schumer literally going on the Senate floor and saying this, this and this and you AP. And the media is like, next week, we're talking about 100 Biden and we're talking about this and we're talking about Christmas and we're talking about. And it's just I cannot believe that this is the biggest news in our lifetime, at least in my lifetime. Well, one of the biggest things. It is. And it's like it is.

And I think, I mean, at this point, though, to be fair again, the main. the mainstream media, portions of it are covering it, but it's mostly online. That's where you will, whether it's Newsweek, that Newsweek's a major organization. And you can find a lot of the online reports

in our New York Times did something last week on them and everything to do it. It's out there more in the mainstream media and today's digital print, if you will. Yeah. But I know what you're saying is the same thing that I've been saying, is that the mainstream coverage of like when you're trying to come in for dinner and you're sitting down, you're going to turn on the news.

It ain't a story that's going to pop up on one of the mainstreams. And I think that's also because it's controlled. I think it's controlled. And I think there's a reason for it in the same. Like if these companies have a hold on some of these senators that are blocking bills, who's to say they don't have a hold on what's going on in the media? Of course they do in the same. So there's a reason for it for sure.

it just it there's going to be only so long before you can't before you have to cover it and that's what i've been saying to and i feel that this is this this article in newsweek is is i couldn't agree more i've kind of said i feel like we are going to in our lifetime get some kind of confirmation that's what it's right did they did they cover that story about air force one was that on the news uh i didn't see it not on the news i saw it i saw it i saw online. Is that not the number one story? Even if it is a balloon, how's it not the number one story?

Yeah, I mean, it's like, I'm, I'm going to, I'm a little bit more skeptical on this one. I do think it's a balloon, but, but fine, fine. Even if it's a balloon, why isn't it, why isn't it on the news? Because I think at the end of the day, they're, they're still incredibly biased when it comes to this because they think that the audience is not going to buy it or it might scare them or it's going to think big foot. Yeah. You know, I think we, we are still going to. up against that, in my opinion, I think we are still going up against that. This falls in the category of dragons and wizards.

I think that's negated when the, the, then Schumer gets up in the Senate? When Schumer and Reynolds are up there talking already, I think it's negated. I think all that is like, yeah, you're not allowed to be Anderson Cooper or, or Laura Ingram and say, oh, well, we know better of what, I know they're not the ones making the decisions, but I'm saying, like, oh, we're not going to cover that. because we it doesn't matter what what those guys are doing that no you need to cover that because that's that's that's that's that's that's shumering right right it's a thing that they're covering it's the thing that they're talking about in the house and the thing that they're trying to push

forward it's just i know that it gets repetitive on the show that we talk about it but it just add into all this especially when it comes to you know what as you is you know riley said he's pretty convinced that it's a balloon and that's fine if it is but it's still it's Isn't that a story to say like what the hell was near the president? Most people go it's probably balloon, which is fine. Sure. Which is fine. It's the story. I and I wonder how much of it is advertising on these news channels, you know,

that they might afraid to put it out there or the news desk is like, we don't know. We don't want to do this. We don't want to do that. But I feel like it's like this is something that interests most everybody. Yes. Whether you're a casual observer or, you know, like us that want to talk about it weekly. You know, I wonder what it is.

because even that, even if it's a balloon flying by Air Force One, they could do it in a way that's like, hey, this is interesting. You know, we see this, probably a balloon because, you know, McWest says it and this guy debunks things and, you know, okay, looks like a balloon to me. You know, you might have one of the news anchors and maybe doing that, but just put it out there to see what people, how they take it. Are they getting, like, are people going to call into the show and go, stop doing that UAP stuff?

That's why I use like, again, I always reference like when you see the Hill when those, the two reporters, they have a dynamic where it seems like it seems shtick to me now. It seems like every time they talk about this, the woman reporter is always the skeptic now and she's always disputing. I don't know. Where's the proof? But at least she's covering it. At least she's covering. Yeah. That's what I think is most important is that you let your audience decide for themselves.

Yeah. You report it. And if you can't, if you're not going to report Schumer standing up there, why are they going to report? Yeah, I know. That's true. And that's what's really, really sad and all this. You need to decide for yourself for sure, but you also need to decide yourself if it's time for the right gift. That's right.

I know that the holidays are passed. But AJ, AG1 and Rocket Money, sponsors of the show, help out the show tremendously if you get them. So I'm going to tell you more about them right now.

You had mentioned this. This is an article, again, from the Hill. Congress hunts for a legal UFO programs as the media shrug. So this is, again, from the Hill over the last week, a flurry of coverage focused on the historic, unidentified anomalous phenomenon, UAP transparency measures

that President Biden will sign into law shortly. But the reporting ignored or glossed over a stunning development. The most powerful member of the U.S. Senate, Chuck Schumer, suggested publicly that elements of the U.S. government are illegally withholding UAP information from Congress, Schumer, citing multiple credible sources made his extraordinary comments on the Senate floor last week. Given the decades-long stigma associated with UAP, it seems that only a significant amount of credible evidence would convince normally cautious risk-averse politicians, let alone a Senate majority leader, to level such a stunning accusation in public. The underlying allegations, which the mainstream media have studiously and curiously avoided, are shocking. Great, great sentence. Let me read that again.

The underlying allegations which the mainstream media have studiously and curiously avoided are shocking. Senator Mike Rounds joined Schumer and a bipartisan group of four other senators to co-sponsored the UAP Disclosure Act. And aware colloquy with Schumer on the Senate floor, rounds doubled down with yet more remarkable commentary, noting that the UAP Disclosure Act originally included a requirement for the government to obtain any recovered UAP material or non-human biological remains that may have provided to private entities in the past and thereby hidden from Congress and the American people. Senator Marco Rubio, Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee echoed rounds extraordinary comments in a July interview. According to Rubio, we have people that have high clearances both today and in the past who did really important work

for our government and continue to do important work for the government who have come forward with some claims about the U.S. having in the past recovered exotic materials and then reversed engineer those materials to make advances in our own defenses and technology. In interview last week, Rounds asked a seemingly rhetorical question, was there actually something found at some point in the past that helped us to develop some of our technologies that remains to be seen, or at least remains to be disclosed. Moreover, as rep Mike Gallagher, a member of the House intelligence community stated in June, new protections enacted by Congress resulted in all sorts of UAP whistleblowers coming out of

the woodwork. These individuals, Gallagher said, are telling congressional investigators that they've been part of this or that UAP program resulting in a variety of pretty intense conversations. In short, key legislators are sounding the alarm on an extraordinary story and the silence from the mass media is deafening. As Schumer noted on the Senate floor last week, the United States government has gathered a great deal of information about UAPs over many decades, but has refused to share it with the American people that is wrong and additionally it breeds mistrust this this this this makes me furious yeah because it's the thing and so and I haven't seen it if someone writes it I don't care it's like this is

what you guys talk about every week yes because you guys that as we said this beforehand this is what gets me the most upset out of all of it it's like if people like oh we'll write a letter to the senators if you if you want to want to hear this. No, write a letter to your networks. Write a letter to the networks. If you watch CNN, if you watch Fox News, if you watch, you know, MSNBC, if you're watching anything, if you watch, I always bring Lester Holt or David Muir, if you watch any of them, write to them. Why aren't they covering this? Why isn't this, why isn't the fact that Chuck Rounds said that there should be mentioning potential other life forms flying around the atmosphere?

And no one, no one mentions it except, you know, online and in different circles or on Twitter, but it's not being covered. It's a, it's a scam. It's an absolute scam. And I'm glad that they call this out in the article. So it is the silence is deafening. That's the best way to put it. It's bizarre.

It is deafening. It's just, it's echoing in our heads going, why? It's bizarre. It doesn't mean, it's, if you were, if you were to take this years ago, years ago, Let's put five years on this even. Five years ago, if Chuck Schumer that had the most powerful person in the Senate right now, stands up there and says there is credible evidence and credible witnesses saying that there are people out there that have non-human remains and or non-human crafts in the Senate. Right. And it's like again.

And I mean, that's it. That is that alone is one of the biggest things to ever happen in my lifetime. Yeah. And the media is like, no. No, it's not even ad, dude. They're not saying anything. They're ignoring. Shrug.

Ignoring. Yeah. The CNN covered it a little bit. So did Fox that much. And they didn't even have all the information that the information that they had wasn't even all accurate. And they said certain things that did like they weren't even paying attention to it. It's like, again, the main thing to say is this. We're not telling you guys that we think that.

They should be covering it in a way like, oh, well, this is, he's saying that it's real. So it's real. No, it's the idea. Because first of all, what the news is supposed to do is they're supposed to report. They're not supposed to have opinion pieces and all these things too. It's supposed to be a report. And you're supposed to tell you that that went away a long time ago. So, but inside of what they're supposed to do, a new story is that both Schumer and rounds are doing this.

And the fact that they both say that they have reports that there's reverse engineering. that's a story. That is a new story. It doesn't matter whether you, whether you like it or not or believe it or not. It's a new story. It's a new story that you can have with somebody on your panel and saying, hey, the Senate majority leader said that there's reports. And he's up there presenting this. Is this something that is actually potentially true? Or is this guy losing his mind? It's a story. It's a conversation. And it's crazy. It's crazy that no one is talking about. it and it's crazy that no one is really challenging anybody on it. Don't challenge the senators. You can write a letter all day long. You can write it all day long.

It's not going to do anything. They're going to ignore you and they're going to do the same thing. Oh yeah, he cares. They don't care. Great. The news stations. Yeah. No answers.

That's the way to get this out there more. The senators are doing something. I mean, look at it. They're actually doing something. It is the media that is not. That whole, the Senate hearings with this. we were covering that Christian and I go I'm going to watch the news I'm going to watch ABC World News it was a passing mention at the end of the show before they go to their feel good story of the week

about a dog you know what I mean it's like I love dogs don't get me wrong I got two dogs right but this is next level big this is this changes the way it could change people's worldviews and I always go back I try to make sense of it Is it because it's not getting viewers? Is it because they're going to get angry letters from fill in the blank? Both those questions you should never ask yourself ever again. Because never again. No, no, it does matter.

It's like because the first, the first part of that question was, will it get viewers? As I mentioned with. Yes. Yes. Okay. With News Nation. News Nation on their YouTube channel. When you look at the stories that they cover that every other outlet covers,

the the the the the the trump trials or the the the hunter biden stuff they barely crack a thousand views maybe two thousand years every uap story they cover there's anywhere between 40,000 to 300 to 400,000 to whatever the amount of views they they it is their top stories this it's a reason why they cover it also more probably because they get the views um because they're one of the only news outlets it's actually covering it same thing with the hill they cover it because because they're both the sister station, but still, it's the same thing. And then your other point, as far as people, the angry letters, you don't think they get angry letters about everything.

We're in 2023. People complain if you, if you fart in your house while the door is closed, someone complains about it. It's like, so we're, of course they're going to complain. Everybody complains about everything now. Yeah, I really do think it comes to, the media seems to. always control a narrative. I mean,

there's like they're kind of telling you what you want to hear. And everybody keeps it in their phone. And now it's like, I mean, I got this. It's like all about the election. It's all about Trump. It's all about Biden or his son.

And then repeat. You know, I put on the news, the, the, the, the, the Fox News,

they talk about the same thing over and over and over and over again. In various different political viewpoints. And it's just how can you basically dress up a shit and call it different? Right. Just over and over and over and over again. If you were to really challenge the viewers and I and I and I and I challenge people that's probably not people who are watching this right now. But people just they don't look up. Right.

It's something they don't right. They're not out of this. They're too busy either zip this on Twitter looking, looking to yell at somebody who's who, who, is different into your political viewpoint or looking to cancel somebody or looking to just start shit over a movie opinion because somebody said they liked the last Jedi, whatever it may be, they're in their phone and they're getting all mad and everything. And you said something at the beginning here, Christian, you're walking outside and you're looking up. You know, I'm doing that now too. I do that a lot. And I think it's important to get away from your phone and to get

out there and get some fresh air and get some exercise. Sure, that's great. But I think it's a important to pull yourself out of this echo chamber and getting mad at everything because of X, Y, and Z, and consider that there is something bigger than your freaking phone and your freaking opinion on the internet. Everybody just wants to be heard. And I understand that. You want to be heard. You want to be validated. But when you pull yourself out of it and you look around and you go, wait a minute, this world is bigger than I thought. And the wait a minute, there could be something out there. I mean, that's, that it blows my mind to think that these people that our senators are standing there united. Rubio and Schumer are sitting there on opposite sides of the aisle going, what's going on?

Yeah. That's in no, and mainstream media is like, and now a dog surfing. But dude, that, that alone is a story is the fact that like with, because again, hate cells, anger sells. Correct. Unification doesn't sell, right? And it's like the idea that anytime they're, they're around each other, they're usually at each other's throats.

But when it comes to this, they're not. And they're on the same thing. Everybody's calling each other friends and this to be as they realize in the heart of hearts, what it's really all about is that and the answers that they might have. I mean, look, I'm just, you and I have been doing this show now, five, six months or whatever it might be. I get emails from people now all the time.

I get DMs from people who are saying that they have information, that they have seen things, and that they've, and there's, there's footage that they have. And 99% of it could be absolutely true and a percent of it could be completely false. Who the hell knows? But what it does is that people want to talk about it. People want to go, hey, I really want to get my opinion out on this. And I want to talk to you about it and look at this is what I've been able to experience. And this is what I've seen.

And it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what political side of the aisle you're on because in the in the grand scheme of things you think it doesn't really matter. And that's why how this isn't a story to lead like like there's clearly. And as you and I and to reiterate for the 100th, I guess 100,000 time. Yeah. When we started the show, we said, I don't know if we're going to have enough to talk about. Who knows what kind of stories. There's new story that that we haven't said, we haven't said that in, I think after like the first month, because we're like, oh, there's literally stories like between five to 40 new stories with new information every week.

Enough that someone could put it in, okay, again, Anderson, Laura, whatever. Here's this is what we're to run down today. Make sure you cover this for at least like, we're going to go 10 minutes. We're going to bring in Schumer to talk a little bit more. We're going to bring in, uh, um, uh, what, uh, shoot, our boy from a dog Namit. Oh, Breschette. We're going to bring in Bershette. My mind's mush today.

We're going to bring him Bersh. Uh, we're going to talk about, uh, Gary Nolan's coming in. We're going to do this. And then you can move on and we'll, then you can, then you talk, you can talk the, the Trump trials. You can talk about cats and trees afterwards to it. Great. But you have enough to talk about it every week.

Get it out there. Yeah. Someone's saying, Riley, don't get it. out there. Someone's saying that. I think there's the, I think that part of that, but I think you hit it on the head, the nail on the head square. The, the media wants to divide. They want to, they want to breed discourse. They want to, I mean, if you go to, they want to promote their team. They want to promote their team. They want to promote their team, but it's all stuff that just gets people fired up. And you go on the left and the right. On the right, they're talking about either this,

this or that and getting people angry about this or that. And then you go to the left and they're talking the same. They're doing this and they're doing that and everybody's fighting and where they go? They go to X or they go online. They go to Facebook and they yell at everybody. I mean, you can't put a movie opinion online without getting yelled at by somebody. You know, it's just social media is breeding the worst in us right now. And so when you then consider that the mainstream media is going to profit off that.

Yeah. Then that's what they focus on. When this kind of stuff, when you see Schumer, when you see Rubio, and I bring those names up because I feel that they're a most recognizable on either side working together, you know, that what is it? Unity bringing people together. That's not a story. I wish this is going on.

So, dude, I interviewed Anderson Cooper when I was working for Fandango. Wow. Yeah, yeah. He was doing a documentary on his mom. and he was very nice guy came in and talked to him for a bit and um this is like you know 2016 or something so this is before the mainstream coverage you would have bet your ass that if it was today and i sat down with him i would say dude why aren't you guys covering this more yeah getting this on there i'd love to hear his answer i love to i mean i just use him because he's like

the one guy that i that i've you know interviewed but i love to get your personal experience with him any of these guys and look this is the one thing that we as we there are there are people that are starting to cover it more there are certain there you'll get i mean look the mainstream coverage that grush got it was good that grush was able to go on rogan it was good that grush was able to go on tucker carlson yep he was able to do these different shows and he got he's getting the word about that was primarily you're looking at a spotify audience big major audience yeah and you're looking at an x audience again big major audience social media stuff, but it's still, they're about as mainstream media inside of the social

media platform as you can get. So that's good that that, that the word is being spread that way. But it needs to push into the television mainstream media as well. It just does. Yeah, because that will get to my parents then. Yeah, right to the, the older generations or people that aren't online. They are out there. And they don't know about that. If you weren't telling your parents the fact that Chuck Schumer was out there doing this, first of all, they probably, it probably went in one year when it went out the other one.

And they probably wouldn't know about it at all. No. Yeah. And I can't wait to talk to my family about it more. Yeah. Because it is, it is up to, I think,

these like the Spotify crowd with Joe Rogan, the the ex crowd with the Tucker Carlson Rush interview, us here on YouTube doing a show, other people that have podcasts, weaponized and the likes, right? That is becoming the more preferred way to get your news. Now, it's dangerous as well because you can. For people. I think it seems more honest for people. It seems more honest. Yeah, these, maybe these conversations, but you do have to be careful because you can get just anybody going online and saying blah, blah, blah, and a lot of people can believe that. And that's scary for sure. Yeah. But it's starting to take away, I think it will take away and can take away

audience from the mainstream that don't cover it, you know, because I have noticed in this political climate that we are in, on the right and the left, I said it, that they are just covering the same old thing and they are saying it five different ways until sundown, you know, just to express the same point covering the same story. Exhausting. It's exhausting. It's exhausting. It is exhausting. Wouldn't it be nice to just have a different story? And it happens to be, what the hell was that flying by Air Force One? That should be a story. Even if you're laughing about it, saying, it's a balloon.

It's a balloon. Right. And then you have bringing somebody to debate that goes, maybe not. And here's why, you know, the stuff that they're talking about now, there was something in the sky near the president's airplane. That we know. You and I can agree on that. Whatever we think it could be. It was something floating around, whether it was a balloon or whether it was a probe, whether it was a, who knows what it was. But no one, it wasn't, how is that not the lead story?

How is that not a story? What was that? How did I not get a text from people who don't know this going, hey, I know you cover those UAPs? You hear about the thing? You know what I found out about it? I did a search on UFO news for, you know, because that's what I do. It's how I get the stories to check everything. And it was the lead story online.

But how is that out on everybody's feed? Why did I have to search for it? It should just like, I know that Vin Diesel is in trouble. I didn't search for that. Yeah, that's covered right away. You know what I mean? I know that I know that all these things are happening. I know that, you know, all these different people that get in trouble, that's trending right

away. Yeah, exactly. It's always the same. I can't believe more people aren't talking about the credible witnesses that sat up in front of the Senate. and said, this is what happened. Graves talking about and protecting the identity of some of his squadron members,

talking about this thing flew this far away from me. I don't know what that is. And it's just brushed over by the, like, it's a passing mention before the dog story on ABC World News. Yeah, again, I don't care what part of the aisle you're on. The president of the United States is flying around the sky and something is in the sky near him. and they don't know what it is.

And it's like, it's not like, and look, what I'll ask the audience is this, because I could be mistaken. Did you hear about this on the news? Did you see it on programs? Maybe Riley and I just missed it that night, and they did cover it.

And maybe that maybe, because I, normally when those big stories kind of break, people tag the big thing show Twitter feed like that. And I didn't get hit with it once. Didn't get hit with the ones. And so I, I wonder, I would like to hear it in the comments section because that's the other thing that I'm so grateful for is that this, out of all the shows we do here, this is the one consistently with the most comments and people talking to each other the most, not just talking to us, but talking to each other in the comments about what it is because that's how the conversation continues. That's how it keeps going. It's because you guys have an interest in it. And there are people who stumble upon it too, going, what the hell is these idiots talking about? And maybe you didn't.

know about the stuff with Schumer. Maybe you didn't know the thing about Air Force one. Look into it. It's the same thing that I tell people. Like I see, and I've seen people, but I always ask people when I see skeptics in the in the comments section who say things that seem like they are just not informed on some of the information that's been at least over even the last like six months of stuff. And they say things like, oh, well, how come this? And how come that? I'm like, well, you haven't paid attention to this, right? Because that's been discussed. And these military leaders have said this. and this has been discussed. And I said to one guy,

have you looked into that? And he's like, I have not. And I'm like, and he's kind of saying it like proudly. And I'm like, well, you can't say,

make blanket statements if you don't, if you're not read up. Yeah. Yeah. And I've said it, you know, you got to be careful on who you maybe listen to online and stuff. I mean,

I can't tell you how many times this is an example I would put out there. People say, I'm not going to, like, I can't believe this and can't believe that and this and it in regards to a movie. And then at the end, at the end of it, they're like, and I haven't seen it and won't see it either. You know, and it's just like this predetermined kind of fault.

Right. Yeah. I saw the same stupid thing again last week where, and I see it on both sides, but I saw the one that I saw, which clearly is someone who's not paying attention to this, is that this is just a cover up because they're trying to get attention away from Hunter Biden. Timbershett and Chuck rounds are Republicans. Matt Bates is a Republican. They're not trying.

Rubio is a Republican. The major people who are running this are Republicans. Just because Schumer was in a front. This is, and the same thing. And then I saw the vice versa. I saw someone going, oh, they're just, they're just really pushing this because they want to get the attention away from the Trump trials. Yeah.

Schumer is a Democrat. AOC is a Democrat. They're on the same page. That argument has to go to sleep. You can make all the other arguments. That one needs to go to sleep. That makes no sense. That argument is just fed to you.

That is something that is literally a part of a culture that is, you know, you can say woke. You can say far left, radical right, whatever you may be. It's just that answer. It's a parent. It's, you're parodying what people are saying online. Right. Without looking away and digging into the facts. Yeah.

It's, you know, it's frustrating. You got to be, you got to be educated on it all. You know, it'd be like, if, if, if. If you lead with, well, I think that Schumer is trying to do this because Rounds said this and then Gates actually said this instead and this. And you're using specific things to try to prove your argument, then that's one thing. But when you just say, well, the Democrats want to throw attention away from it. Like, Democrats ain't really running this thing as much, even though Schumer's the one in front. You got Perchette.

You got everybody else and vice versa. That argument, that argument stinks like shit. I that's that's the one that when it pops up I'm going you you're this is someone who's has read on nothing you read on nothing I even actually had a conversation we taped an episode of Katie Sackoff's podcast with with Jack Osborne and and Jack Osborne actually and I have a lot of respect for what he's how he handled this afterwards because he he and Katie talk about it and Katie's definitely just not not into it and doesn't believe in it all right but like Jack is curious and he's friends with Jeremy Corbell so we had a couple

there you go yeah and he's like but but he's but he doesn't but he's kind of he was talking about the hearings and he paid attention it was right around like the hearing right after the hearings that happened and he was talking about and he's like and he said i just think it could be a distraction when they're trying to divert or attention away and i and i said to him essentially what i just said just now i said jack let me ask you a question why in the world would they want to be distracting from this if this person that person is and he looked at me he goes i have to be honest i didn't really think of that way you're i i kind of changed my stance on it and i was like good respect, respect to it and the fact that he was just like, let me think about it.

But the difference is this. I had a face-to-face conversation with the man to where we looked at each other and we said, oh, oh, I understand that you don't do that when you're doing this. You're going right after the point. It's your point. And it's like, no, because someone will come in here and say, well, and I'll go, no, right? And actually, no, and as opposed to wanting to sit down to that person and go, wait a minute, why is that? But we have another way I want to talk about this Mars story, which is also pretty fascinating.

But before I do, I'm going to I'm going to lighten it up. And I'm going to tell you about one of our other sponsors. And now, Riley, Joy Mode, they're back. I'm excited to tell everybody about Joy Mode. Riley, right now might not be able to use Joy Mode, but once the kids here, maybe it'll happen. All right. You know as well as I do. You've been standing at that gas station, you look over and you go, oh, sexual

I'll tell you that right now. And like I said, this is a, this is a show. going to hear about manscape on this show you're going to hear about you're going to hear about uh joy mode and all of it um i don't report in the same way that george nap does george nap's an actual professional reporter my asshole shaves my balls and i uh and i and i and i and i and i join so deal with that there you go my favorite when people are going to these guys aren't professional like no fucking shit no shit no shit no shit These guys, oh, burn. Burn. Burn, you got me.

You got me. Oh, no. No, sitting around watching, stoneed off my tits. And I saw the, the UFOs investigating the unknown. Like, I'm going to watch this. And then I was in,

it was locked in. I had too many questions. Too many questions after that. All right. I want to play some of the interview here from, I mentioned, Pavel, who is,

he was a fan of ours for a long time, and he actually is very much into the way more professional, a professional reporter. And he just had a great interview, by the way, recently that I wanted to, with Matt Laslo, who is a, he's a journalist, and he's, he's very much, you know who Matt Laslo is, he's pretty much presses the, the, the, the Congress about UFOs all of the time.

He's someone out there who's really doing the work. And so here's some of the here's some of that interview. All right. So one of the fascinating things I thought that he asked them about, and you can watch, I'm going to put the link for this full interview here, but he asked him about potential new hearings that they're going to have in January, and this is where I want to play. I was wondering, though, because I spoke to Steve Bassett, I'm sure you know who he is.

And he's pushing for people to ask for more hearings in general. have you asked any congresspeople about that or do you have any idea if this might happen in January or February here's the crazy thing about this year and then this Congress the 118th Congress here in the U.S. It's a fucking shit show. I like they sweat. I'm a congressional junkie. I read a ton of history, all this. I say I stopped giving predictions when Donald Trump won the Republican primary in 2016. We all lost money on that one, though. Yeah.

And so, like, that's when I stopped doing predictions. But now, like, if I bet, I would have been like, yeah, I bet with Republicans in control of the House and Democrats in control the Senate, I bet we'll have a government shutdown. Well, I'd have been wrong. They didn't shut down the government. they shut down Congress for an entire month, you know, right as America's ally Israel is attacked. And so Congress was shut down for three weeks as they were in the middle of a session trying to find a new leader. And so the fallout from that is something that we can't even, we don't even see the ramifications yet. were starting to feel it.

But so members of the Congressional UAP Fawkes, two of whom, actually know three of whom for Chad, Mace and Matt Gates, those three were part of the eight who ousted former speaker Kevin McCarthy. And so it was McCarthy who had finally kind of relented and promised them another hearing and then he was going to give him access to the skip and so that's where there was confusion and so now it seems like the baton is kind of fully passed to the new speaker, Speaker Johnson and this is where it was actually kind of important for Chet had a meeting with him a couple weeks ago where he brought up UAPs and said the speaker knew about it and

kind of was encouraging their investigation. So I'm curious in the new year if they don't get a UAP select committee. Because like this gets a little inside the beltway, but before, so like a couple days ago, former speaker Kevin McCarthy, he resigned. Like he's going to go get a job working for a lobbying firm or law firm making seven, eight, figures, whatever. He's going to sell his soul for.

So he's out. So they have to have a special election to replace him. And I don't know if your folks know, the name George Santos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Republicans finally, or the whole Congress, booted him out. Well, he was a Republican.

So now they have to replace him. Well, so with those folks leaving, you only had Republicans in the House could only lose three of their members and still pass a measure. Well, now with McCarthy leaving, it's down to two. There's another guy who's about to leave. So in one sense, that makes every member of the house, all 435 of them, really frequently powerful,

you know, especially the Republicans who Johnson's going to lean on to pass his measures. So if Gates, Luna, Congressman Burchett, if any of these folks hold out, their support on a measure that Johnson needs to pass, and they say, I'll support it if you give me a select committee on UAPs. I bet they get it. All right. So that's, you and I had talked about that, Riley, a while ago. A while ago. When we said that, you know, this was so fascinating. And by the way, if you want to see that full interview, it's linked in the in the description.

So again, thank you to Pavel for that. That was awesome. Yeah, it's a great, great interview. And we're going to be doing some more interviews with him. He's got a lot of connections into it. And he's got a lot of people that he's, have you been speaking to him as well? Yes, I have. He reached out to me on Twitter and we've been talking.

Good, good. So, yeah, like I said, that full interview, you can watch it. it's it's it's it's linked below um but i thought that it's it's a full political game do it's a full political and it's like you heard everything that matt said there and it's like yeah yeah of course it all that all makes sense and they're gonna they're gonna lobby to go sure i'll vote for you for that give me my committee if they got to play house of cards in order to do it then you know then then then let's let's do it i i mean i'm so at this point it's i just i i i want i just need some kind answers as far as like what the hell is going on.

So my, it's almost like this one of these things as we talked about for the last, you know, last half an hour, Riley, I want something out there so big that the mainstream media goes, either we can't ignore this or if they do, it's just so big. Why in the world are you ignoring this? It's like, what's going on? Like not just me and you saying that. Like, yeah. You know what I mean?

I tell you, I believe that can and will happen. Yeah. You know, I, I think, I think there's going to be another committee in January. Yeah, but just to the point, I, I think that, I've said it before, you know, with the technology we have available to us and in our pocket, that there can be something so real or captured or that it's just going to be impossible to ignore. Yeah. I believe that. I believe you. I want to play a little bit more from the interview, though, too, because he, um,

He actually also asked him a couple more things. I think that there's some pretty interesting stuff here. Listen to this. Whether some of that passion will come back. I'm also curious, especially when it comes to members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, namely Gillibrand and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and then Senator Marco Rubio, those who came out really passionate about this and really inclusive, and then they kind of receded.

And part of me is like, all right, what did you learn? Like, what briefing did you have? And what did you learn in there? And, like, are you comfortable with it? Because they seem to, they seem to have had their fiery questions. They seem to have had some of their fiery questions answered. And that's what, um, sniffing around. for. Yeah, I'm just curious either what they've heard or who twisted their arm.

Yeah. What's your gut telling you? Because it could be one or two things, right? They're twisting their arm or they're told something that it's really, really scary and they're just backing out. What's your gut telling you? Dude, but I'm like, that's what I want to know. And like, part of me, especially with the lack of of curiosity from these sitting members of Congress that's why they judge them heavily because I'm like

what fun is being a politician except for getting to know the dirty secret yeah so yeah yeah right so it's an interesting point that we ever really talked about to rubia was like one of the main guys like out there and then I love the question of is there something that they found out

that just scared the shit out of him. He was looking at the stuff that Tucker was talking about. I was just going to say. Yeah. Tucker, what his comment about he wouldn't even say something that did because it scares him so much. That, that, that Christian is what scares me, the unknown, of course, when you don't know, you fill in the blanks. Yeah. If, if there is something and that, and that makes me and my brain kind of go, go, and like, like, have a traffic jam in there because wouldn't you want to be transparent to protect the American people. That's the oath you take when you become a politician.

So if it's something that's like really scary, okay, you don't come out and say it, obviously. And, you know, just blow your load, so to speak. But you got to have some sort of transparency that if it's, you know, again, I go to grave. and when he said that this thing, you know, one of his buddies said, when this thing flew this far from me, you know,

that makes me think, okay, could the same thing happen while I'm traveling to New York in a plane? Truly scary to consider that there are things flying around there that can actually take out either commercial or military or otherwise, whatever it may be. Yeah.

But if our senators, our congressmen are learning things that scare them and they back off, that's that's um something to consider and uh is also something to to ponder of why yeah it's true it's and again both uh matt's website is is linked below and um and the interview with matt is linked below if you want to watch the full interview there there's a lot of good nuggets in there to uh to check out if you're interested in it last one here this is from the hill retired admiral says that the military has been covering up information on UFOs So this was where both, so the reporter's names are both Robbie Sov and Brianna Joy Gray.

Those are the two that cover it a lot on the hill. Has the government been hiding the truth about aliens? In a recent interview with News Nation, retired U.S. Navy rear admiral, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Tim Gallaudet, said it was time to come clean. Let's take a listen. I think it's about time that we do disclose that we are in contact with non-human intelligence. That's what needs to be put out there in the public. In the recent National Defense Authorization Act that was signed last week, a half-page amendment written by Republican

Senator Tim Burchett that would force the Department of Defense to declassify records relating to publicly known sightings past, but Congress granted the government authority to remove information relating to UFOs from official records if it could feasibly harm national security. The executive branch has up to 25 years within a record's creation to make it public. The bill's passage comes as an increasing number of former defense officials are pushing for more transparency regarding UFOs. Including that rear admiral that we just heard from saying that he thinks the government has been in contact with extraterrestrial life. And that is exactly the kind of thing we want the government to declassify that information. But as I've said when we've talked about this previously, I have no.

faith that this is what we'll get even if the version the Tim Burchett version passed because any national security exception is going to result in them redacting wide swaths of information pertinent to this subject as we've seen on every other subject as we've seen on the JFK assassination files as we've seen on the COVID origin ordered bipartisan fashion by President Biden to declassified what we know about COVID origins what has caused our various intelligence agencies to reach different conclusions about COVID origins. We want to know. Instead, they put out a brief summary of information

that is absolutely totally public already. So national security is the blank check for the government to deny, to equivocate, to thwart independent efforts to learn information. And anyone who has experienced filing Freedom of Information at any level, local, state, federal, knows that they make the process as difficult as possible. They, you know, work within the letter and spirit of the law to

make it as difficult as possible. You'll get back pages and pages of documents. Sometimes you get back too many documents to make sense of any of them. Here's a stack of papers, 99.9% of which are irrelevant to your search criteria, to your query, to make it harder for you to sit through the information. And then you go through things that are just blank, you know, black lines over everything. It's a huge pain. Yeah, look, to your point, I know you can drive a spacecraft through the whole created by the state interest, national security exception. However, I don't want to skip over the nature

of what that national security official Gallaudet said. He didn't just say there's evidence of intelligent life. He said there's evidence of communication. Talk to them. Yes, that suggests an ongoing dialogue, if you will. So there's a lot of UFO scenarios that could exist. there could have been a lone craft that had a malfunction that crashed to Earth, and they found the ship in the dead body, and that was that.

And that happened once in 1953, and that was that. There's a world where there was like an archaeological dig, and they found out that aliens had crashed a thousand years ago. I mean, there's a lot of different scenarios in which you could discover alien life, know of alien life by an alien technology that don't involve an ongoing communication, an ongoing relationship with an entire alien civilization. So she actually, it seems to me like she's kind of coming around.

She's coming around. Yeah. Yeah. She had a, I thought at first she had like a look on her face. Like, oh, but then she's covering it.

When you're covering it as much as she is, I mean, again, I give her the both of them credit because they cover it all the damn time. So the more, she's probably learning more and more. She probably knows way more than we do. and so you can tell, like,

because she's not disregarding it anymore. She's like, look, maybe it crashed here. She's like, well, the thing. And good on her, because she was the one that said, well, wait a minute, you're barely on the lead to the fact that this guy said that there's communication with them. And this is, why is, why is a retired admiral saying this? They're all, they all went nuts.

All the military people went crazy. Every military person that came out, they're all nuts. Yeah. Like, isn't that a question that everyone, like, let me ask. somebody who's watching this right now, who clearly is going to be a skeptic of, you know,

and saying, I don't believe it and this and that and that. What is your answer to why all of this military, all the various, I mean, at this point, 30, 40, 50, hundreds of military people who have come out and said,

whether they have firsthand knowledge, whether they said that they, they know for a fact through other programs, whether a guy like this, what's the motivation? for all of them lying if you think, or making this up. I don't,

like, I don't understand that. I don't either. You know, I, I hope it's not, you know, this,

we've been in such a weird political, like echo chamber for a while now. And, you know, part of that comes with, you know, question your government, sure,

you know, question your leadership and all that. It's, it's hard. for me to question military when they've been put they've taken those the biggest oath in the world that they could die at any day defending us and that is something that I cannot say that I've ever done and that it's something that just has all sorts of respect for me yeah so why would you question that why then would you question that part of it and I feel it's because it's you know you're fearful

of looking up from your phone and realizing there's something else out there um I don't I don't I don't want to, I hope it's not, you know, disillusionment with the military because you have certain talking political heads out there that are, that are calling them out. I don't like to, to think that way. But again, why would they all come out and have similar stories or similar kind of explanations? Why are they putting themselves on the line like that, you know? It's great. I wonder if the narrative might be changing.

I said it last week that the snowball is rolling down the hill. and it's going to get bigger and bigger and bigger the more this goes along. So start to listen, start to look and start to investigate yourself. Ask questions. Definitely ask questions for sure. And I do hope.

That's why again, why I appreciate the question. I've asked of Matt, is that what the hearing is going to happen? And it does seem like there's more stuff that is coming down the pike in 2024. So you and I are going to have a lot to talk about my friends. Yeah, it's going to be a big year, Christian.
