Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Man, welcome back to Coast to Coast, George Nori with you.
Stephen Bassett is an activist, disclosure advocate and the executive
director of the Paradigm Research Group, which he founded back
in nineteen ninety six and the government and post embargo
on the truth behind extraterrestrial related phenomena. Back in December
of twenty twenty three, Steve co founded the Hollywood Disclosure

(00:27):
Alliance in LA, a new media eccentric organization working to
align those working with all kinds of research arenas with writers,
directors and producers. And here he is back on Coast
to Coast our friend, Stephen Bassett. Stephen, how the heck
you bad?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
It couldn't be with you again, George.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
How are you doing good?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
My friend? Everything good?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
It's exciting, extraordinary things are happening.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It sounds like this might be the administration to finally
release stuff. What do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I think that this administration is going to get the
final chair when the music shuts down. Yeah, meaning that
I think the current president is going to be the
disclosure president. And I can give you a good sense
of why that's happening. Let me put it this way.
The truth embargos, I tend to call it, is literally

(01:23):
falling apart at such a pace that I can't keep up.
Something is happening almost every few days, every week, and
every little thing that happens, people immediately sees on it,
whether it's a witness coming forward, a statement from a
member of Congress or what have you, news article, and

(01:45):
they'll seize on it, and they'll pick at it and
and debate it online and what have you. And that's fine,
but it doesn't give you a picture of what's going on.
So most people just have this sense that there's things happening.
They don't know where it's going. And that's where I
come in, because my job is to follow as much
of it as possible to see the larger picture. I

(02:07):
get focused on a particular witness, but the credible was
they not credible? What's the story with the background and
so forth? But just take in all that's happening, and
when you take that all in, well, it paints a
pretty clear picture that very likely, within as much as
seven eight weeks, we could have a confirmation from the

(02:30):
current president confirming the non human technological presidence that we
have here.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, he's just released twenty four hundred classified documents and
files on the JFK assassination. I think he's going to
do something on UFOs too, Stephen.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, yeah, my lord. What just recently happened. The creation
of this essentially transparency task force on as part of
the subcommittee or the Oversight Committee in the House is
unprecedented almost its major and they went to great length
to announce it, and they are serious about finally breaking

(03:13):
this spell we've been under for so long eighty years,
not only about the UAP issue, but about a lot more.
And by that I mean the old hubrics of we
don't have a need to know, we don't have the
right to know, and we can't handle the truth, whether
it's about the UAP issue, whether it's about the assassinations

(03:34):
and other events where it's inconvenient or the government to
sort of give us the full picture because somebody is
going to be embarrassed, or there's some issue. I think
that is about the change, and we just got a
clear indication of that by this announcement of this transparency
Task Force. And they're already underway now with respect to

(03:56):
the UFO issue too. As you know, a huge amount
has happened last couple of years, four pieces of legislation,
the fourth one being major, and it was cut in half,
which is fine, and then it was reintroduced in whole
the next year had to be pulled back. But in
the meantime, another hearing was held on November teat very

(04:16):
significant hearing in the House Oversight Subcommittee, and Jillibrand and
the Senate held a hearing introducing us to the new
ARROW Director, Consla Kazlowski and then Mace. Representative Mace confirmed
on video that he wants the nuclear shutdown witnesses on
Salace and the others who were present when our news

(04:38):
were shut down with an et craft present on numerous occasions.
Do you want those witnesses and I expect them to
be the one to testify, so that hearing is in
the work. And then you have a situation where not
long ago, Senator Schumer did something. Rather it's curdinary. After
everything had happened son last year with respect to the

(05:01):
legislation didn't work, had to be pulled. He goes forward
on camera and says and invites the President ask the
President a current President to release the UFO files. And
that was extraordinary, not simply because ge we want the
UNFO files out, but because what he was doing was
saying to the new president, this is a nonpartisan issue.

(05:25):
We did everything we could, didn't quite make it, but
we're fine with you going ahead and getting this done.
Meaning you, if you confirm the et presidence, which is
essential to getting those files out, you have our support.
We're not going to go partisan on this. And so
that took place, and then George, three days before the inauguration,

(05:46):
something happened I didn't imagine. I was given a link
and told to check it out, and I went, and
where I found was that Don Junior, Donald Trump Junior
had a podcast with a marion plus followers, and I
turned it on and who was being interviewed Loue Alessando
and Ross Coultark by the President's son for an hour
and a half talking about all the things that we

(06:08):
talk about. And Loue Alesanda was saying to Don Junior,
your dad this, and your dad that. Ross Coulthard was saying,
your dad this, and your dad that. There's no way
that he holds that steps of interview without his father knowing,
and so you add it all up and I could
go on, we are very close. I would not be
surprised if we don't get an announcement over the next

(06:30):
five or six weeks.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
That is close. And there's rumors I hear, Steven, of
new whistleblowers. Are you hearing that.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Well, they're coming forward all the time. Some are in
the background, others are coming forward publicly. Uh, but it
had it's hard to know how many witnesses have actually
come out because all we're getting are is the ones
that are in the public domain. But they've been coming

(06:57):
forward to in various ways for several years now, talking
to various members of the Senate staff and so forth.
So there are more than enough witnesses to fill many heroes.
But the ones that are most important are the witnesses
that were present when our nuclear weapons were shut down,

(07:19):
and they are ready to testify at any time, and
I expect that to happen very soon.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I remember, Stephen, back in nineteen ninety six when I
was the Nighthawk in Saint Louis. I was talking to
you on my Saint Louis show on the night we
heard that Art Bell had retired and you were just
so upset. And to start you remember that.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Night, Ad George. You know when Art Bell made the
decision that the politics of this issue was welcome on
Hiseshchow because he wasn't a fan of politics. He got
into the goes to Koshow, get away from politics, all right,
And so when he made the decision to say, Okay,
you want to thought politics about this, come on, and

(08:07):
I came on the show. And at that point we
had an audience I think in the seven eight million range,
and so we were able, whether it's me or Dan
Sheen or Stephen Kreer, we were able to talk about
the truth of barble, about the politics of this to
a large audience for the first time really ever. And
so he played an absolutely key role in advancing the

(08:29):
disclosure process and ensuring that we would eventually get to
where we are today. And iowa a tremendous detain and
to you, of course, because obviously once you left, I
came on your show many times.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
There is a story we have on the Coast to
Coast dan dot com website Tonight Steven that's in the
highlight reel that Paul Giamatti, the great actor maybe playing
Art Bell in a biopic movie.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Weg X excellent choice. He's an incredible actor. I can
see him in that role right now. Art deserves this
movie and I'll definitely be there. Hopefully maybe even for
the premier.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
We'll try to get Paul on the show to talk
about it. That would be amazing. They're still trying to
work out the tails, but I think something's going to
happen there. Yes, when you say in five weeks you
think something major is going to happen, is it going
to come from Donald Trump? Where's it going to come from?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
What I'm doing when I say in that, I'm giving
it a bracket. I'm just saying that things are right there.
And what I'm referring to is disclosure and disclosure, as
I named it long ago, is one thing and one
thing only, and that is the throne the mouth of
a president of the United States, or another hit of statement,

(09:57):
the statement we are not alone, that we are in
fact being engaged by non human technological entities. Wherever they're from,
I think they're from the Star. That is disclosure, not
a memo, not a letter. It's a basically a statement
to the public, right, and that is what I think

(10:19):
is on the table. I think all the signs seem
to point to that. Now, it's not the only thing
going on. There's a lot happening in the world. We
know that, but number of people around the president have
indicated that they support this idea. His son clearly supports
it and wants it to happen, and I am sure

(10:39):
that he has been. How would you say informed that
shouldn't make this announcement either unilatterally meaning on his own
simply because he wants to, and he's the kind of
president that would or after another hearing, the hearing that
Representative Mays has been talking about. Either way he will
get perhaps one of is not the greatest political legencies,

(11:04):
triggering one of the most important events at all human history.
I think that is something that would appeal to president.
And so once again the stars the lining up. I
would say, don't be surprised if this takes place. The
next thing you want to look for listen for, is
Matthew May's calling s Matthew May's calling for that hearing. Right.

(11:33):
The second thing would be confirmation that the nuclear witnesses
are going to testify. And there may be other indicators,
but I didn't even see this. I didn't see this
task force coming. I had no idea to informalize that.
And she's already going public and demanding documents. She's talking
about subpoenist. I mean, this woman is a tiger. They're

(11:56):
very serious about this, and so we're at places we
couldn't even imagine years ago.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Might there be other countries involved with our disclosure?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
If our president confirmed et presidents, I would expect a
number of major companies within a week to step forward
and confirm it.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
He might have he might have putin with him.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's whatever, it's I mean certain they will come forward
bout and the course could do it anytime he wants
to put in our teaching pain could actually go before
our president. But in terms of our allies, they will
back it up. They will have evidence of their room.
And if their citizens asked them, well, why did you
sit on this? Why didn't you tell a sinner, they

(12:40):
will have a very simple answer. We deferred to the
United States. The United States had the power to defend
our nation and many others from the threats of the
twentieth century, had economic power, they had the nuclear weapons,
and so we were not going to cut in lines.
We were not going to undermine them or embarrass them.
We defer to the United States. Now the United States

(13:02):
has confirmed the anti presence, and therefore we are confirming
it as well. That will happen pretty quickly and we
will be obviously in the post disclosure world.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
At what point, Stephen, because I've known you all these years,
do you take your bow for the efforts you've put
in all these years.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I don't need to take a vow.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I you're entitled to it.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Three bus way. I think we'll be too busy right now.
Their organizations that are forming or anticipating disclosure, I mean
they're trying to establish a presidence so they can operate
in the post disclosure world. Impact it helped shape it,
hopefully in our best interest. Organization like a Soul Foundation,
a scientific think tank headed by Garry Nolan ex setup

(13:50):
for the post disclosure world. Do you have the Disclosure Fund?
A five oh one C four political entity was set
up for the post disclosure world. The new Paradigm Institute,
which is working to get disclosure for US, but it's
primary focus is going to be the post disclosure world
and Paradigm Research Group. My organization has just converted to
a fible and C three nonprofit and accepting donations to

(14:13):
have deductible donations to get disclosure that we're already there. Practically,
it's to give Paradigm Research Group the ability to impact
the post disclosure world, the Hollywood Disclosure Aligance, which is
set up to and it has two hundred members, to
bring people in the UAT community, all our friends in college,
you know, most of them, to ours and connect them

(14:35):
with the people in the film industry, the content industry
who are willing to put their names and bios up
on our website and show that they're in play. They're
down with this, they want to move on this, and
so we're networking people together to create the content for
the post disclosure world. So you can kind of see
where things are. And I'm looking forward to having a

(14:58):
role and being able to hold a conference. Two. I
don't know there is much many thirty forty thousand on gold.
That's really what I've been about all along. I knew
there were ets when I was a kid, and so
how they get confirmed as well? It's hey, I guess
I already knew. However, the confirmation is a Paradigm shift
of extraordinary implications, and that's what it's been about, getting

(15:21):
that paradigm shift, and then using that shift, that incredible
change of worldview, to maybe start putting our affairs in
order on this planet before it's too late.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Do you think those that are preparing for disclosure Steven
are right now trying to temper How are they going
to do it? What are they going to tell us?
How will they tell us they kept us suppressed for
so many years?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I think the last two generations won't care, and they
all to say, great, thanks for letting us know about this.
Look the entire process, all of the legislation that was passed,
the UAP Disclosure Act, I don't notice that name. All
of this was to prepare for it, and the creating
arrow was to prepare for it, not to confirm it.
We already knew, and so most of the infrastructure. I

(16:09):
think the rest of the Disclosure Act to be helpful
that could get passed easily to stand alone. All of
this was the platform on which a president and our
concress could stand once disclosure has taken place. So we
are pretty much ready for that. We just need to
end the embargo and then we can address it. And

(16:30):
the other thing is that and I think this is
something Humor was trying to get across, and others have
said the same thing. We know our political situation is
extremely how would you say difficult. It's causing all kinds
of problems and division settings to be stabilizing, and we
know that countries go through this. We have red and

(16:50):
we have blue, we have left and we have right,
and that's not the best way to try to serve society.
This is the biggest, the most non partisan issue ever,
and I think both sides admit that on this issue
they can work together, and it's so important that it
will bring together in a powerful way. And it's very

(17:11):
possible that in that situation they may be able to
find non partisan approaches to other things and we can
start climbing out of where we are. That is a
consensus amongst a number of people. Nancy Masa said so,
Burlison has said so. Humor has said though, meaning on
this we can agree, this is important, we can work

(17:34):
together on this, and that could then lead to other
cooperations and maybe we'll have a little more I would
you say, calm waters down the line.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
David Jacob's the UFO investigator believes that there's a very
nefarious purpose behind the ets. Do you think they would
disclose something like that as well.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Look, we can't bull out the stability of that, though
the evidence points elsewhere. I think that certainly the contact
and situation is going to come out post disclosure. A
lot of people are going to find it rather on
toward I get that, is that an experienced threat to

(18:21):
the planet. Now, is there a reason for why they
do that? Probably, I'm looking to forward to find that reason.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Are they abducting people? I mean, thousands of people disappear
on this planet every year.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Stephen Well, the question of whether they take and don't
return is not this all It's been looked at. It's
been talked about. People disappear all the time and
