It's a Boom (Ep. 2598)

27:19Folks, the country's 330 million people. I can't change an election by myself. The gentleman I met last night, wonderful guy, like Dan, nobody knows this stuff. People are upset. I need your help. I'm begging you. I'm like genuflecting on a bended knee. I can't bend because it's arthritic. Please do the 10, 10 and 10 thing. I can't win an election by myself for the Republicans. I can't. I need you. We have a big voice. It's not the only voice. Go tell 10 people this stuff. People upset about the border. Do you think Tom Homan's lying to you? Again, if you do, aren't you like obligated to produce some evidence?

27:57Tom Homan, if we don't trust Tom, then what's the point? Just burn the whole thing down and we can all live in anarchy. What's the point? The numbers are amazing. The president, Steve Miller, Tom Homan, Mark Wayne, they're out there right now doing the best they can, engaged in a deportation exercise to make sure people here illegally know they can't come back. It's happening. Media spin, though, and this is why I really appreciate this gentleman telling me this yesterday, because it made me realize again from a real-world person I interacted with, he was like, I'm the average guy. I'm like, hell, I'm the average guy.

28:39He's like, well, maybe not anymore. You got a microphone. No, I was the average guy, folks. That's not an insult. It's a compliment. I was a police officer in New York. My wife was a web developer. My father was a plumber. My mother worked to register when they still had those before the scanners in a supermarket in Glendale, Queens. There's nothing exceptional about my background. I was not born to two Harvard grads. I get it. But I'm glad working class Americans who power this country tell me this stuff because it made me realize again the power of red news versus blue news. how people even on our side are falling for right before the midterms.

29:19Nothing happened and people are upset. That's just crazy. A lot of stuff happened. You could be upset about what happened, but saying nothing happened is just ridiculous. Millions of people have been deported. Crime rates are down. The economy is exploding. The Atlanta Fed is predicting 5 % growth. That's an insane number. That's crazy. We haven't seen 5 % growth outside of COVID since like the Reagan years. Justin was kind enough to put this together just to show you the powerful effect the mainstream media has on getting people to believe this stuff, that nothing's happening. And whenever it's Republican in office, everything that is happening is bad.

29:57Throw up our Red News, Blue News. We're going to do this often here. Thank you. This is Justin. Pulled this yesterday. I want to. Here's the Red News first. Here's from June of 2026. In other words, the Donald Trump presidency. Look at the New York Times headline. And I want you to look at the author, Lydia DePilis, because it's the same author in the blue. It's the same person. It's the same person. I'll assume it's a female and no, she's a woman, Lydia. New York Times, under Trump, inflation accelerates to fastest pace in three years as energy prices bite. Now, keep that up for a second. Keep in mind, the inflation rate under Joe Biden peaked at 9%.

30:35The inflation rate she's talking about is roughly three, which is over the Fed target of 2%. And we don't like, but you would think in context, if you were writing an article, Lydia the Pellis at the New York Times, you would also cite poverty rates lowest in American history. Manufacturing's coming back. Jobless rates the lowest. Median household income just hit record highs. You with the stock market, the NASDAQ's hitting record highs. You would think you would bring that up in the headline. No, because it's Donald Trump and it's red news. It's time to crap on him and write a headline. Here's the same lady, Lydia DePilis, under Joe Biden.

31:11I want you to see how the headlines completely contextually differ. Oh, the sound effects to this too. Very nice. I didn't know that. Very clever. I didn't hear that when we were going to the show rundown. Lydia DePilis, July 2022. U.S. economy added 372 ,000 jobs in June, defying slowdown fears. Notice in the blue news, notice it under a different administration, sleepy Joey bots, that all the U.S. economy powered through June. Powered, Andrew. Powered. Donald Trump producing record job numbers too. But prices are biting, inflation. I'm just telling you, like, please don't fall for the doomer crap.

32:00It was. Look it up. Angie, Andy, ask ChatGPT. In July of 2022, give us, like, what was the rough inflation rate at that point? You understand how this gets into even Republicans' heads? I know it's why I'm not, again, I'm not mad at all. Matt or the guy. I'm actually glad you guys brought this up so we can answer this stuff. But you, no way. AI is telling us it was over 8%. The inflation rate now is like 3%. And by the way, you strip out volatile fuel because it's even less. I'm not telling you. 8.5 down from 9, by the way. I'm not telling you ignore fuel prices, ignore inflation. I am not telling you that.

32:48Stop, period, at the end of the sentence. Got it? Inflation is a huge problem. But let's not act like Joe Biden didn't kick Donald Trump in the nuts with this thing. He left them with 8%, 9%, 7%, 6%. What do you expect them to do? Wave a magic wand?

33:11I'm sorry, man, but things are happening. And I'm telling you, I feel so good on this Friday. Why do you feel good? I do. folks the tide has shifted against dei wokeism men in the women's room global illegal immigration the tide is not only shifting in the united states with the trump election and the rebellion against this woke crap the tide is shifting everywhere some of you may have seen what i'm about to play if you haven't you are in for a treat this is one of the best speeches I've seen in a long time. There's a translator in the background because it's a Greek parliamentarian. Her name is Aphrodite Latina Paulo.

34:01If I'm saying your name wrong, it's not intentional. She's speaking to the woke European Union and the commissioners over there and the bureaucrats. And she just goes for it. This thing went nuclear on social media yesterday, But this is why I'm telling you, like, it's Friday. When you talk about the United States and the rebellion against liberal commies around the globe, talk about it with a smile because it's happening, brothers and sisters. Listen to this about a minute of this speech where, hat tip, hat tip, I don't have one on, but Afrodito Latino Paulo, this was amazing. Check this out.

34:39Mrs. von der Leyen, there isn't more of a racist than you in Europe. You've proved it. We're full of illegal immigrants. We have so many taxes and red tape. Our farmers, our fishermen are on their knees. You're closing European factories and thousands of jobs are being lost. You destroyed the nuclear family. You are ramming the woke agenda down our throat. The Islamization of Europe. You are using money in our pockets to pay the millions of immigrants that have destroyed our neighborhoods, they're murdering, they're raping, and at the end you give them the right to vote. But you gave us paper straws, tethered caps, and gay pride.

35:26Not only are you Mrs. Merkel's best pupil, you've done better than her. You are involved in scandals, Pfizer-Gate, SMSs that have disappeared, and you have said that you won't be under scrutiny. The socialists are backing you, and Mr. Weber is backing you. They've got your back. You've destroyed things, Mrs. von der Leyen. Fine.

35:59Ah, jej.

36:03here it is here look can you zoom in i i don't when i tell you you know the goosebumps can you see that at all i don't know maybe it's a maybe you need a better high-res camera folks it's friday smile the rebellion against liberal insanity the what they say the rebellion will be televised it's already been televised we're like we're not there there we're about 30 % of the way there, but 30 % is better than 0 % of the way there where we were under the abyss of the Obama-Biden years. People are rebelling all over the globe against this crap. They don't want open borders. They don't want men in the women's room.

36:43They don't want pride months and celebration months. You know what they want? This lady went, she's Greek. They want a Greek celebration. Just celebrate your country and move on. What a time to be alive. What a time to be alive. The golden era politics, record low poverty, record low crime, border closed, rebellions around the globe against crazy, random acts of democracy breaking out. And the scientific revolution happening right now between AI, quantum computing, material sciences. What a time to be alive. Folks, I understand. I'm going to discuss in a second the perils of not doing things right.

37:28we had to do nuclear fission right or the world could have blown up okay there are a lot of dangerous things flight you don't do flight right you clash the plane no good however what a time to be alive I don't want to be macabre on a Friday but man I went through a real health scare in my life a lot of you went through it with me we all know we're gonna die but when you don't know if it's gonna be two weeks or 30 years from now for for those in the chat who know what i'm talking about someone comes back and tells you i got bad news you got a cancerous tumor but i don't know what kind well what does that mean doc well if you have kind of it a the a kind you'll be dead in a year if it's b you got six years However, it could be C or D, and we could possibly wipe it out.

38:26You're like, I don't like those options. You don't even hear about C and D. You just hear about A. You're like, I knew I had an expiration date, but I don't want to know what it is, and I certainly don't want it to be two weeks from now.

38:41Folks, when you're getting these cancer treatments and you see these again, these six, seven, eight-year-olds wheeled in with childhood leukemia, it changes your whole life. it changes your whole life again when i had cancer i was 45 i thanked jesus i was like jesus thank you for my 45 years if i don't make it i wasn't happy all i kept thinking about was my daughter's wedding and how i wouldn't see it i couldn't help that was just devastating to me but i understood like god has reasons i don't understand but i gotta tell you i really don't understand the kids i'm not telling you jesus doesn't have his i don't dare question he's omnipotent i'm not But I couldn't understand that.

39:21Imagine being alive right now where people who are paralyzed and can't walk. Imagine the pain of that. You're a proud man or woman and you cannot use the limbs God gave you. Can you imagine the pain of that every single day? You probably have dreams at night about being able to just take a step and run one more time. I mean, I've got arthritis, I complain, because I can't run. My battle is nothing compared to these people I want to show you just this short video Elon's Neuralink What they're working on right now You may say I don't want to put anything in my brain Fine I'm not asking you to do it I'm just telling you what about if you're paralyzed Or you can't speak And there's a technology out there That may enable you to speak for the first time Or walk again You want to take that chance I certainly would Watch this What a time to be alive What?

40:16Wait, you're syncing the words and they're popping up.

40:24I, I love you. Oh my gosh.

40:33That is amazing.

40:41Who's cotton onions in here? Is it lunchtime? I mean, folks, it's hard not to get a little bit choked up at. I don't care about man cards, all right? The poor guy can't speak. He's got an opportunity now to be able to communicate, tell his wife he loves her for the first time. It doesn't matter. You get a Friday, none of this matters. Let's just give it all up and throw it all away. I'm not doing that, man. And I'm never doing a show like that, ever. I'm not. I'm not going to sit here all day and tell you your life is miserable. God gave you 70 to 100 years on this planet if nothing bad happens.

41:19And you should just wake up every morning and say, screw it, it sucks. I'm not doing that. Manifest good things, man. God gives you challenges for a reason. What a time to be alive. But remember, we always keep it in perspective on the show too. Because like any other powerful technology, whether it's Neuralink or AI, things could go bad. There's no doubt, right? You know, there are going to be people like, well, I want to put a chip because I want to be smarter than everyone else. And then they go on to do bad things. They become like freaking Lex Luthor or something. That's what humanity is about.

41:53God doesn't give you easy answers. He gives us all level 10 problems. Sometimes there's only a troubling answer and a more troubling answer. That's what the whole field of ethics is about. but keeping it in perspective you are in the golden era of humanity right now i do want to give you the other side of this though fox digital did a short clip on again the artificial intelligence and the doomerism on one side too we're all going to die everything's going to blow up tomorrow we're all dead i believe there's a responsible path we should take maybe we should slow down a little bit i'll let other people argue the details of how that should happen and we can discuss that.

42:31However, there is a lot of doomerism out there. Fox covered this yesterday. I want you to listen to this perspective. So we got a well-rounded approach to this so you don't feel like I'm feeding you any slop like other people are. Check this out. Are capitalizing on the fears of Americans, the angst over AI. I think they saw that it was succeeding with the data center. You could draw all sorts of scary scenarios with Y2K as well. You know, the financial system was just going to collapse because people had not programmed or not written their programs for the year 2000. And I had been writing programs in the 1980s for the government.

43:10So well aware of the program. But of course, you know, the tech industry knew about the problem. And to the extent that it was a real problem, took action to fix it. And the same can happen with AI. There's no evidence for this. You know, last week I heard several interviews with the, it's called a whistleblower. Everyone knows who he is. There was no evidence. There was just hysteria. Folks, this gentleman here makes an unbelievable point. If you are an AI doomer, in other words, you've thrown reason out and you think we're all going to die and I'm going to live my life miserable. And again, you have the right, the big R, God-given right to your opinion.

43:54Do your thing. But do you understand God gave us intellectual powers and God gave us agency? every single problem in human history that's come up between mass starvation government systems nuclear fission human beings have figured out ways to mitigate the downsides of any problem we're challenged with you saying like we're just going to let this happen and the world is going to blow up acts like human beings have no agency at all in other words the y2k problem i brought it up the other day. Justin wasn't even alive when this went down. Everybody was told the whole financial system is going to blow up.

44:33And what happened? Folks, honestly, relatively, essentially nothing. But why? Because human beings have agency. They saw a problem. We tackled it and we fixed it. That's it. Assuming humans have no agency and we're going to let a bunch of robots kill us all while not taking into account God giving us the power to mitigate these problems, see him in advance and work on him, is just black hole thinking. Jesse Waters did a segment on this on Fox, which is great, with Jason Kalkanis, who I, again, a more realistic approach here, how, hey, there's a fix to this stuff. I said it to you the other day.

45:12Let's get human beings in some of these loops. So AI doesn't get to take off endlessly without us saying, nope, not here, we're cutting it off here. Do you realize the jumps in judgment you need to be a total doomer like the whole world is going to blow up tomorrow? Not telling you not to be concerned. I am, too. I'm just telling you, don't disregard the power of human agency. Check this out. These computer programs going to create a bioweapon. How are they going to launch a nuclear missile at Seattle? How? Yes, this is where you need to get some science fiction authors in a room to make like three or four or five jumps.

45:50The jump you would have to make to get to the nuclear missiles is those are air-gapped. You would have to create an incredible thriller where somehow the AI programs a thumb drive. That thumb drive makes its way into the missile silo and uploads it, right? It's just not possible. Now, and to take the airplanes out of the sky, those are also what we call in the industry air-gapped. We also have human-in-the-loop systems. So people are getting a little excited about this. We were all trained on science fiction to get excited about it. The pernicious thing here is, and you alluded to this with Bernie Sanders getting into this and other folks, people, when they see a crisis like this, want to jump on it and they have agendas.

46:30And one of the agendas here is to do what's called regulatory capture, create a bunch of rules. So maybe these one or two companies can win the market. And then the smaller companies coming up or open source where anybody can own the technology, maybe they get regulated out of existence. I'm not telling you what to think. I'm just saying God put us here for a reason. We have agency. Humanity has fixed problems. We've caused problems. We fixed problems we've caused. We've caused problems we fixed. I am not going to be a doomer, and I don't think you should be either. By the way, please, I got a clip coming up next.

47:10If you ever, ever thought, why did I name that? I usually tell you why I name a show a show. It's a boom. Because you're living in an economic boom right now. Well, it doesn't feel like it. Maybe you haven't heard the news. I'm not telling you in every community, but folks, the numbers are insane. Larry Kudlow just let it rip yesterday on Fox. Even I hadn't heard some of this stuff. There's still argument over the proper angle. Can someone get a protractor? Jazz men! And now we're going to get a thousand protractors in the mailboxes. I know it. I know it. Because you're the best in the world. Hey, do you know Fast Growing Trees is America's largest and most trusted online nursery?

49:09I'm not telling you again in advance, disregard inflation, disregard gas price. I'm not telling you that. We get it? I'm simply telling you that that data point in perspective of everything else, ladies and gentlemen, you want to be back to the Joe Biden years? Where growth was horrendous, inflation was out of control, and gas prices were up too? Or do you want to be here, these are just the receipts, Larry Cudlow just went for it. Check this out. The per capita income levels that were just reported from last year, because the data just came in from last year, were absolutely mind-blowingly positive.

49:51The highest we've ever seen. Highest we've ever seen. 87 ,460. That's the highest we've ever seen. Up almost 3%. Poverty rate is the lowest, as you pointed out. By the way, childhood poverty, the lowest since the date of our... I thought Democrats cared about the children. Yes, they used to. Since they started taking this. And by the by, if anyone cares, the Atlanta Fed is saying the economy is growing at over 5 % in real terms.

50:23I need your help. I mean, it's not one of those faux calls for clarity. I really do need your help, folks. I can't win this midterm on my own. I'm not running. I can't. I am not going back to the Joe Biden, Barack Obama days. I'm not. And I know you aren't either. Republicans are not the solution to all your problems. I've said this over and over. But Democrats are the cause. And I'm not going back to that. When your friends understand, we say, hey, gas prices are high. We get it. We're working on it. We're doing the best we can. However, I want you to also keep in mind this. You are the Paul and Paulette Revears.

51:03I can't do this alone. You have to get this out there on your social media. This is no time, 40 days plus, just a couple more than 40 days to an election, to be blackpilling and doomering because there's a real penalty for it, your freedom and liberty. You want to go back to impeachments and weaponize government? I want to throw one more thing at you to show you how amazing it is economically at this time to be alive right now. folks jamie diamond hasn't always obviously been a friend to the republican party i think that's fairly obvious and i'm not endorsing his views or his companies or anything like that but when i hear something that makes sense i don't care who says it i'm going to put it out on the show i said this over and over if john fetterman or someone else on the democrat side wants to bring some sensibility and reason to a debate they're welcome on the show i'm not going to vote for him but they're welcome on the show.

51:57Jamie Dimon was talking about the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. This is something that doesn't come up often, but for those of you who understand, you know, basic economics, this is critical because the entire world invests in the United States because our military and our economic system is the most powerful juggernaut by far. There's not even a close second. What do we have? Like nine, 10 aircraft carriers, depending on who's in service at any given time. China barely can field one. We are the world's most powerful military powerhouse. Our economy feeds basically the entire world.

52:30And I don't only mean food. Nearly everything important comes out of the United States. They want dollars. Because despite the fact that the international community, I mean, I like Donald Trump, then why are you still investing in us? Because you know King Dollar is the king. And when the dollar is the world's reserve currency, that means we basically get a free loan for every single transaction around the globe when they do it in dollars. And not the Chinese rending me. Listen to this, because this is really important. This guy is no huge Trump supporter either. What an age to be alive. Check this out.

53:09I find myself having a lot of conversations about this trend towards de-dollarization. How do you see it? Well, it's not going to happen because the reserve currency is not... This is an IQ test. You ready? And you can ask anyone in the world, if you can only put all of your money in one country, which one would it be? Well, there's only one that's protected by the Atlantic and the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law, the ability to own. When we give you a United States dollar, you can do whatever you want with it. You can start a business. You can buy a home. You can send it to Switzerland.

53:41You can do all these various things. That's not true in a lot of countries. So you're not going to take a quote, a reserve currency where the government decides what you can do with it, which is with China. China has capital controls. That's basically what that is. And they need them for a whole bunch of different reasons. So as long as we maintain that strength, and I think it does relate to free trade, so China will become more of reserve currency. Other countries might, but we will still be the predominant one as long as we maintain the predominant economic position in the world. And that is predicated also the predominant military position.

54:14Folks, what was that Aaron Neville song? I don't know much, but I know I love you. I don't know much, but I do know foreign travel. I've candidly lost count of how many foreign countries I've been to. I've been to probably twice as many cities because I've been to foreign countries where I've gone to multiple cities multiple times. It's probably close to 100 on the city scale. How many in the chat have traveled a lot? Vouch for me on this one. Is there a single country on earth where you're at like a street vendor at a fair? Like I used to go to this, what is it? Mile of a fair. I've been Russia a couple of times when I was with the Secret Service.

54:49I did two trips there. They don't want rubles. What do they want?

54:56Greenbacks. Bucks. Dollars. Uncle Ben's. Hundos. Ulysses Grant. Lincoln. Washington. they want tell me I'm wrong in the chat I don't know a single country on earth they won't take the dollar instead of their own currency some of those places it's not even legal and they'll still take it because we're the king because we rule this rock we call earth wear it what a time to be alive yes see you're 100 % correct yes yes yes you know it those who've traveled They want dollars King dollar Your country You fought for Your fathers fought for Your grandfathers fought for They gave you the greatest country on earth At the greatest time to be alive You got people putting brain chips in They can tell their wives they love them You got artificial intelligence Figuring out math problems The entire history of sentient human beings Couldn't figure out What a time to be alive man speaking of artificial intelligence if you listen to the radio show you may have gotten a preview of this but if you don't you're in for a treat thank you to my production team who added some visuals there's a new movie coming up you have you heard about this nightmare on lib street movie i i i was unaware jim founded producer jim on the dark way i i don't know i don't know where he gets this stuff who knows what the hell he's doing on that computer over there in the texas studio we have like a Texas substation for the whole Bongino team right here I don't know what Jim's doing but he found on a dark web this weird trailer for this movie Nightmare on Lip Street about this crazy new AI technology called, have you guys heard of this?

56:48Josh? Chat? DJT? I never heard it, I didn't even know this was a thing. So here's the movie trailer, I'm gonna go see this movie, I don't know about you I'd pay like 50 bucks to see this one, check this out. Joe Biden put one person in charge of an emerging technology. Javier Baccaria. Baccaria? No. No. He found someone with an even lower IQ. Breaking barriers involves breaking things. Kamala Harris in charge of the scariest tech yet. AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence. She had unleashed chat DJT. What a stupid question. but we've talked a lot you and I and you ask a lot of stupid questions you do this a lot you know you're in the presence of the greatest AI in the history of the world chat DJT artificial intelligence the most intelligence but you are a genuine lack of intelligence a very stupid person chat DJT nightmare on lib street quiet piggy rated M-A-S-A.

57:56Make America smart again. And in case you're saying, hey man, was that producer Jim and Sean Farris? No! No, that was definitely Donald Trump and a movie trailer narrator. Winky, winky not. Molly is in the chat. Molly is. It's Friday. We gotta laugh a little bit. I always tell you you gotta smile a little bit. Jim, play that again on the radio show because they need to hear that on a Friday. You hear me? I need textual confirmation. We need some textual healing on that.

58:35Nightmare on Lip Street. Coming soon. This freaking show is crazy. Can we play? I've got to go totally. I've got to get to the UFO thing. So don't go anywhere. Because I just want to give you some brief perspective from my time. But given that we're on a roll with it. Jim, you're good? Okay, good. but Jim just texted me. Can you play grandma on the Cybertruck too? This is not AI, right? As far as we know, like this is real. Folks, this is real. This is that. That was obviously AI. Jim and Sean Farris did a great job. Thank you guys. And my team here put the visuals. This, however, is real. We are in the most amazing time to be alive, including cars.

59:16You know, I hate the word literally, that literally drive themselves. So somebody decided to put their lovely grandmother behind the steering wheel in a Tesla Cybertruck. And I think Tesla, their self-driving feature, my humble opinion, based on reviews from people on them, is the best. The grandmother really wasn't digesting what was going on. And they filmed the whole thing. This is not AI, as far as we know. This is your Make America Funny Again moment. This is freaking hilarious. I want to talk about a time to be alive. Check this out. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, no, don't touch nothing.

59:58Don't touch nothing. Do not touch nothing. Do not touch it. Let the AI drive. Stop that. Stop that. Don't press nothing. Don't press nothing. The AI, you gotta trust the AI. Trust the AI. You gotta trust me. Yeah, but trust it. It knows. No, bro, take this off this. You know what to do. Trust me. Trust the AI. See? Oh, no. No, no, no. It's good. No, it's not. No, it's not. Trust the AI. Take off it, bro. Trust the AI. Please, please. No, no. Oh, man. Don't lose that. Don't lose that. Don't lose that. Don't lose that. Don't lose that. Let the AI drive. Grandma. Grandma can't take it.

1:00:55I saw that I just had to share that wonderful make America funny again moment with you it is fantastic folks to grandma out there you're a star but also to grandma what a wonderful time for you to be alive I don't know how old grandma is let's not guess a woman's age we'll say 60 being that okay you were alive when color tv was a new thing now you got a car driving itself down the street you've seen it all what a life what a life so i said i would get this speaking of technology we don't understand fox did a segment with the great peter doocy pizza good man know him and his father really well great reporter peter doocy did a segment on fox about some new releases about some UAPs.

1:01:48So, you know, what people would call just in everyday English UFOs, unidentified flying objects, UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomenon. Now, I was honored to have the greatest job in my life was the last year in the FBI. You all know, I was there running the place. And when you're there, you pretty much have access to everything. And one of the things I asked about, not that I had other things right when I get in there, but I don't know, about a month or two in, I said, hey, I'd like to, because I'm very concerned about drones. And obviously, if we don't know what's in the air, it's a bad thing, whether it's space aliens or a freaking drone, it's a problem.

1:02:20So I got the briefing pretty early from people, both at the Pentagon, Central Intelligence Agency, and at the FBI. We have our own little X-Files unit over there. And without sharing anything classified, because this is now out in the open, I want to show you in two parts what Peter came up with. It's about a minute each. And I'll just describe to you, again, what I saw within the bounds of what's appropriate. And what I know and what I don't know, because, you know, I think that's the only fair way to cover it. Check out part one of this little segment they did on UAPs. Check this out. I was summoned to an office in the West Wing yesterday for a private briefing about these files that you're about to see on your screen for the first time ever.

1:03:06Let's show the first clip. It was taken by a Navy aerial photographer. His name was Delbert Newhouse. It was taken along a Utah highway. If you look closely, it looks like a drone swarm. But there were no known drones in the sky when this video was taken in 1952. I am told they took the first and only copy of this film. They found it in the National Archives. It has been digitized into 4K to be released right here for the first time today. The second clip we have taken by a law enforcement officer's iPhone along a busy Colorado highway three years ago. The officer's narration and some nearby buildings have been redacted.

1:03:48I heard the unredacted version, though, and he is describing multiple orbs hovering over a sensitive military installation. And then we have a third clip taken by a drone over the Middle East last year. It shows six objects flying in formation, destination, unknown. The Pentagon looks at this. They say they do not know what they are looking at on the screen. Okay, now before I get to part two here, I think it's only fair to tee this up that I don't know what that is either. Dan, you don't have an answer? No, I don't. There's a reason. Justin, why are they called UAPs? Because they're unidentified.

1:04:30I don't know either. If I knew, I'd give you the answer. Why are you bringing this up? I'll explain after part two, because I don't like leaving you without any answers. But I don't know. And I, again, being candid, I had not seen that first one. I think the second one I saw, but the first one I don't recall seeing before from the 50s. Strange, strange. Doesn't mean it's not explainable, just means it's strange. But I'll explain to you what I do know after this part two. Check this out. There's a newly declassified copy of an expense report, a line by line expense report going through the$22 million that the DIA spent to investigate repeated years long claims over something called Skinwalker Ranch.

1:05:14Claims of extra things in the sky, UFOs, UAPs. Harry Reid, before he passed away, this was in 2008, got$22 million to investigate this. Officials now are telling me, senior White House officials are telling me, they cannot find any copy of the records. They've got all the proof that this government contractor was spending$22 million to do this investigation. But when folks high up at the White House who can just pick up the phone and say, I need a copy of those records, make the call, they are being told that if these records were created, they are either lost or something happened to them. Somebody has them.

1:05:55They are not available to White House officials right now, which kind of seems like one of these UFO movies where it gets to the Oval Office and the president has to be told that there are certain things that are too classified even for the president. But we should stress again, officials do not know what the objects are in these videos. Okay. Wait, you guys in the bubble there need to listen too. I know you're not audience members, but this is important. There's two points I want to make. One's about Donald Rumsfeld. What? And the second's about Parallax. when I said to you tying this to the beginning of the show that when we went in there me and Cash and Ratcliffe and Mike the deputy over Michael over at CIA when President Trump and I went in there folks we can only tell you because I'm never going to lie to you ever we can only tell you what we have access to what we've seen if it's not there I can't tell you it's there.

1:07:04Does this make sense? That part about skinwalking around that's the first time I'm hearing about that. However, unfortunately, you don't know what was destroyed. So for me to tell you I know what happened to X when the information about X is not there, I'm not going to do that for clicks. You pledge transparency. I meant it. Go look up what everybody's... I can't give you transparency on what doesn't exist. That's what Ducey's describing their point. How does that relate to Donald Rumsfeld? Donald Rumsfeld gave a famous speech one time about the dangers of things. You have known knowns, things you know and can fix.

1:07:45You have known unknowns. You know things about like a problem where you don't necessarily have an answer. And then you have unknown unknowns. You can go look up the speech yourself, it's famous, where you don't know what you don't know because it doesn't exist. How disingenuous and phony would it be for me to enter the Trump administration and go, I mysteriously found that answer. Did you? Do you have evidence? No, I don't have evidence. I'm just guessing. I'm not doing that. I can only tell you what I know and what I've seen. You didn't pay me to guess. You just didn't. Does it make sense now?

1:08:25So point number one is some of the stuff just isn't there to render an opinion on. I wish it were, but it's not. The second part, as it relates to the UFO, so that was more of a larger point, but it's relevant there for this too. Folks, a lot of the videos you're seeing, and I'm not talking about those two you just saw. Like I said, I don't remember if I saw one or both of them, or I don't think I saw the first one. But a lot of the videos you see on X, where you see a lot of people rendering commentary on them, I want you, if you're open-minded to this, a lot of them are easily explainable. I'm not telling you all of them.

1:09:04There's a reason they're called UAPs. But some of them that are being portrayed as UAPs, there's a likely explanation. Some, some, everybody hear me? I'm not trying to discredit anyone. I'm not going to allow anyone to mischaracterize my words. There are people there, me included, are very real concerns about a lot of unexplained material. But some of them that you're seeing that are being portrayed as unexplained are not. It's a parallax effect. What you think is traveling at a certain speed is sometimes just floating through the air, maybe like a mylar balloon, and what's filming it is moving at a high speed.

1:09:41I mentioned this before. That is a limited pool of these videos. There are others I just don't have an answer. But some of them that look really strange are likely just mylar balloons or other objects. Some. And when you look up the parallax effect and how the cameras are not designed for this, you'll see how some of them are explainable. Again, I'm just here to give you reason and you can form your own opinion about the other unidentified ones. And there are lots of them because some of them are pretty freaking strange. Are they drones? I don't know I don't know that's why they're unidentified I just thought it was important To get that out there But I'm really glad Peter Doocy said this Because now you understand with some of these other cases That you know you get people If I was in there I would have done something different How?

1:10:35One you didn't volunteer You didn't go work for the government You didn't give up your job You didn't spend time away from your family To the critics and podcasters You didn't do that I'm not attacking you it's just true how do you know what we saw and didn't? Well, I don't know. Okay, so whose opinion is more valuable? Yours or mine? You just admitted you've never seen anything. I'm telling you a lot of this stuff that people want you to comment on, that evidence isn't there. Poorly scoped cases, stuff that we just can't find. We don't know what happened. Was it destroyed? I don't know. It's an unknown unknown.

1:11:07Wasn't everything, but it's a lot of stuff we did find, which you're going to see as time goes. And it's not trust me, bro, anything. The receipts will be there for you to see. All right, it is Friday, so we do our Democrat Zen moment. Then we have our comment of the day, and I've heard rumors we have another winner to announce it. It's a lot.
