Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's a new documentary. A variety has this article. There's
a new documentary that's coming out. It's called Age of Disclosure,
and it's going to be in various theaters, and it's
also going to have what they're calling a concurrent release
with Amazon Primes, like, if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber,
you should have access to this.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And basically what it alleges.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Is there has been an eighty what they're describing as
an eighty year global cover up of non human intelligent
life and a secret war among major nations to reverse
engineer advanced technology of non human origin. Okay, so they're
going to interview thirty four members of the US government, military,
and intelligence communities to expose what they're describing as profound
(00:45):
stakes for the future of humanity. So it sounds like,
I mean, look, there's been many, many documentaries, you know, interviews, whatever,
about investigations on alien life.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And before we get into it, do you believe in aliens?
I would like to believe, but I've seen no evidence
of it. So do you think all the people are lying?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Like all these people reported some sort of I'm sure
some of them are lying, but could they all be
lying about these and various encounters over the many years. Well,
sometimes I've seen people speak very passionately about anomalies that
they don't understand, like camera anomalies that people are able
to replicate using just basic physics or optical illusions, and
(01:29):
they don't understand what they're seeing. So yeah, maybe they
believe that they have seen something anomalous or strange that
in their mind could only be explained by extraterrestrial life,
but they just don't have the evidence to back it up.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They never do.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
What about the people that claim they've been visited by
the aliens? So that are under sadashift, that's all of them?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
A lying? Yeah, that's that's that's not there's.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No other people who've been praying they're lying where they're
delusional just kind of kind of like we have politicians
that run around saying that God personally speaks to them.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I think these people are delusional, can they? But can
they all be lying?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I mean, you don't think it's a conspiracy, right, You
think like there are a lot of crazy people.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
In this world. Rob Yeah, okay, I know. Look, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Saying that's Tim burchat congressman from Tennessee, was on Tucker
Carlson just the other day and he was talking about, well,
I've spoken with navy men, and I've just had a
lot of people tell me things, but they never get
to the there there. Ana Pauline Luna from Florida, She's
talked about this. I think Mark or Rubio may have
(02:26):
talked about it once or twice. They will allude to something.
But it's time to put up or shut up. Rob
I'm tired of being teased. I'm tired of being teased
about the possibility without any hard and fast evidence to
support it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I would like to believe that we are not alone
in the universe.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I think it would be a lot of wasted real
estate in this vast, you know, galaxy that we find
ourselves in if we were truly the only sentient life
that had ever risen in the universe before now.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But I've not, I've not seen it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I think it would be fascinating if that were the
the case, which completely change our understanding of the world.
You do hit on a good point, which is shouldn't
we have caught something by now? I mean, it's it's
you know, it's twenty twenty five. Everything's filmed everything's videoed like,
shouldn't at some point there have been some sort of
capture that the government didn't get to first. Shouldn't there
(03:18):
have been some sort of hey, this thing went down
in a field, or you know, there was a photograph
of this that's you know, definitive proof. Shouldn't that That
is a fair point. Shouldn't that have happened by now?
Also the idea that none of this has ever been
successfully leaked from the government. The government can't keep secrets forever.
Eventually this information is leaked out when it's need to
(03:38):
be needed to be known by the general public.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean, look what Edward Snowden was able to do.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
About revealing the surveillance state, and they couldn't keep a
lid on him, But they can keep a lid on
all these UFO anomalies. Nah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Nah, it's fun to imagine.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I like the X Files, I like science fiction, but
you know, if we're dealing with, you know, matters of reality, I.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Just don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But then I also think you also make a good point,
which is this vast and incredible universe. It can't just
be us, right, I mean, God's I guess God would
do whatever God wants to do. Oh Man had a
theory on this years ago and it always stuck with me,
and I thought this might be the best explanation. What
if they're time travelers. What if aliens or unidentified flying
(04:23):
objects or whatever are time travelers and that's why they
can't get caught because it would disrupt everything anytime they
get caught, quote unquote caught. What if they're studying humans,
Like what if we had the ability to go back
in time, like right now, you think people wouldn't be
going back in time to study Abraham Lincoln or George
Washington or that actually brushes very close to another conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What if we are the aliens?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Not only that were they're time travelers, but we are
the time traveling aliens. And that's why occasionally you'll see
like a doppelganger. These are time traveling tourists that are
going back to a younger earth, of the far distant past.
We are past. Yes, we are the future. We are
the aliens. We are the experience. Oh, I see, I
see what you're saying. Yeah, anyway, so that's coming out again.
(05:08):
The name of if you're a November twenty first is
the release date on this the Age of Disclosure is
the name. See I'm more interested in that John Candy
documentary that just came out on Amazon than another rerun
episode of Ancient Aliens. I already watched that on History.
You've not seen the Candy documentary yet, not yet. We
talked about this yesterday. It's excellent. You should totally watch it.
(05:29):
Everybody would enjoy it. It's called I Like Me, and
it's it's different in the sense of it's not just
like like and then he was in this movie, and
then he was in that movie.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's interviews.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Almost the whole thing is interviews with people about his
personal life, right right right. I mean Nate obviously touched
on his career in how different roles impacted him personally,
but it's interviews with and what's amazing about that movie,
and we talked about this the other day, is the
amount of people who are still living who were I mean,
he would be seventy four years old now or it
was about to be about to turn Yeah, he'd be
seventy four to be about turned seventy five years old.
(06:01):
He's one of those people John Candy, and it's weird,
like whether it's santis Joplin or Jimmy Hendrix or Jim
Morrison or whoever.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You just can't picture them being old.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And Bill Murray, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, all these Dan Ackroy,
these people who are in his orbit are thankfully still
living and are a part of it. Okay, let's get
to the shutdown real quick. So Mike Johnson, he is
the Speaker of the House. The House, of course, has
already passed a budget. Is what the Senate refuses to pass.
(06:29):
Mike Johnson has basically said, to his credit, we're not
coming back. We have passed our budget. We will come
back when the Senate is done with their work and
then we will consider other things. And here is Mike
Johnson yesterday. Look, they're really trying to make aoc. This
is interesting sort of the face or de facto leader
(06:51):
of the Democrat Party. Now have you noticed this either.
I'm saying the Republicans are trying to do this. They
clearly must have some sort of polling or data amongst
the populace at large that she moves in a negative direction,
because they're really going out of their way, many of them,
to try to make her sort of like well, these
people are being subservient.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Chuck Schumer is being subservient to AOC.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
She is essentially the heir apparent of the Bernie Sanders
wing of the Democrat Party. I think you have that
photo that's been circulating of Bernie and AOC and socialist
Zoran mom Nami who's running from ayor there in New
York City, all chumming around and hanging out.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So it tracks all right.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So he was on CNN and he addressed AOC's criticism.
She had some sort of town hall that she did.
I think it was in CNN, and so he responded
to that and also defended the House Republicans response to
the shutdown.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Your responsor, Yeah, instead of doing publicity stunts like AOC
likes to do, instead of making social media videos, Republicans
are working. We have been working right now. They're in
their districts doing very valuable work. In our press conference
this morning, I highlighted some of the very important things
they're doing right now.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
What are they doing.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
They're trying to help their constituents navigate through this crisis
that has been created by Democrats like AOC. She voted
on September nineteenth in the House to block the pay
for troops TSA agents, border patrol agents, air traffic controllers,
to stop the services to nutrition supplemental programs to women, infants,
and children. She voted to stop service to the elderly
(08:23):
and disabled in veterans. That's her vote record, and she's
trying to obscure that fact and blame Republicans. I am
always open to negotiating, but we had the negotiations in
the House, and the mutual agreement by Republicans and Democrats
who were appropriators who were working on the government funding,
was to extend it for seven weeks to November twenty first,
so they would have time to finish the appropriations process.
(08:45):
AOC engaged in a political stunt, as did Hon King Jeffreys,
and voted against it for their own partisan political purposes,
and they have created this mess. So it doesn't matter
how many hours you give her. In a town hall,
the first ever socialist town hall on CNN, I'm glad
it was aired. You got to hear their real views
and it's pretty dangerous for the future of America.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
We got to cover this because obviously it's a big
deal of the government is quote unquote shut down.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But you and I talked about this earlier.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I just have a really hard time getting invested in
any of this because my life really isn't being altered,
and I think normal people's lives, for the most part,
aren't being altered. I'm not saying obviously these workers are
being laid off or whatever, that's a big deal to them,
but I just and especially as they continue to move
money around, and you know, as long as they're paying
the troops, and like, I think, it's just it just
(09:31):
seems like a lot of dinner theater right now. Yes,
but I'm sure you can appreciate the strategy that I
think is being attempted to be employed here. And as
you know, politics is largely a game of expectations. Being
able to paint AOC as a lunatic and rely on
her to do crazy things is a low hanging fruit
(09:52):
in terms of political expectations. So if they can successfully
couch their message wrapping it up around that, it's also
easy to communicate how crazy she is to the general public,
that just strikes me as a smart strategy on their part.
There's a new documentary. A variety has this article. There's
a new documentary that's coming out. It's called Age of Disclosure,
and it's going to be in various theaters, and it's
also going to have what they're calling a concurrent release
