Ep. 21: Rare Nixon Audio & Daniel Ellsberg | Navy Pilot Cracks Open Government UFO (UAP) Program | What Are Transgenders?

* Daniel Ellsberg rarely appeared on TV… yet he changed U.S. history like few private citizens.  Back in 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a Pentagon military analyst, released a comprehensive record of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Known as the "Pentagon Papers" … and his disclosure ended the 20th century's longest U.S. war. A landmark Supreme Court press freedom decision would follow…. And President Richard Nixon's response led directly to the scandals that ended Nixon’s presidency. This rare Nixon audio was never released. In it, President Nixon explains how he could've gotten away with a full cover-up.

* The tidal wave continues to grow over the military and government interest in what we used to call UFOs – now called UAP or unidentified anomalous phenomena.   What used to be the domain of the Air Force’s famous project blue book and endlessly passed off as weather balloons or drunken seagulls.… We have a new class of heroes – US Air Force pilots tasked with keeping us safe.  Thanks to technology which is no longer easily dismissed during repeated UAP sightings, a group of pilots have created a nonprofit organization called “Americans for Safe Aerospace”…. a military pilot-led nonprofit organization dedicated to aerospace safety and national security…. with a focus on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).  ASA was founded by Ryan Graves, a former Lieutenant U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot, who was the first active-duty pilot to come forward with Defense Department evidence to Congress about UAP.
