[00:07] Good day and welcome back to Reality [00:10] Check Q&A. That day of the week when you [00:13] get to ask me, Ross Kulart, the hard [00:16] questions. And here to be my blowtorrch [00:19] interrogator, Megan Medic. Good day, [00:21] Megan. How are you? [00:22] >> I am good, Ross. We have had quite the [00:24] busy week. How are you doing? [00:26] >> It's been an extraordinary week. I [00:28] noticed that just today, Eric Berles has [00:31] revealed that Donald Trump is now going [00:34] to be issuing a memo mandating the [00:37] release of UAP files. This is great [00:40] news. Very, very positive development [00:42] and thank you to Eric Berles for all the [00:45] work he's doing along with the rest of [00:47] the UAP caucus in Congress. [00:50] >> Well, we'll start with uh you know, more [00:52] on Berles and Congress and what's going [00:54] on over there. you are having quite some [00:56] fun on X talking about this story. So, [00:59] we'd love your reaction to it. A new [01:01] church style committee investigation is [01:03] definitely warranted into the CIA's and [01:05] other agencies continued suppression of [01:06] UAP data. It's time for the blowtorrch. [01:10] What's going on here, Russ? [01:12] >> I am very concerned, Megan, that the CIA [01:15] has lost sight of where it sits in the [01:19] intelligence community pyramid. It is [01:23] subordinate to the office of the [01:25] director of national intelligence Tulsi [01:28] Gabbard. Tulsi occupies a very very [01:31] important role in the US intelligence [01:34] community. She's the US intelligence ZAR [01:37] and her office was created in 2004 in [01:41] legislation that was specifically [01:43] designed to stop the catastrophes that [01:47] happened that led to the 9/11 terrorists [01:50] causing a disaster that killed thousands [01:52] of Americans. So, a CIA spokeswoman [01:56] today came out and criticized the fact [02:00] that a person had given evidence who was [02:03] a CIA official. He'd given evidence [02:07] without checking first with the CIA. [02:10] Apparently, the Congress is under some [02:12] obligation to tell the Central [02:14] Intelligence Agency that it intends to [02:17] subpoena and question witnesses under [02:20] oath before the Congress. This is an [02:23] absurd notion and I couldn't believe the [02:27] breathtaking hub who brristic arrogance [02:29] of the spokeswoman for the CIA who [02:33] called the proceedings dishonest [02:35] political theater and actually accused a [02:37] Senate committee of acting in bad faith [02:40] by subpoenaing a CIA officer without [02:43] notifying the CIA. [02:46] The incredible thing about this is I've [02:48] checked. There is no legal obligation [02:51] for the Congress, for the Senate to [02:53] notify the CIA about whether it intends [02:56] to call a former or active CIA officer. [03:01] Just in case the CIA has forgotten, the [03:04] Congress is government of the people, [03:06] for the people, by the people. The [03:08] Congress has a constitutional right to [03:12] oversight the CIA. And frankly, at the [03:15] moment, the way the CIA is conducting [03:17] itself, I do think it's time for a [03:20] revisit that was muted, I think, by um a [03:23] uh Senator Johnson from Wisconsin. He [03:26] suggested that maybe it's time for a new [03:29] church commission to investigate the [03:31] illegalities and abuses of the CIA. [03:34] Too many of the revelations about [03:37] failure to heed UAE requirements for [03:41] disclosure are going back to the CIA. [03:45] Too much of the obstruction is coming [03:47] from the CIA. John Ratcliffe, the [03:51] director of the Central Intelligence [03:52] Agency, made much when he was out of the [03:56] CIA about being open and transparent [03:59] about UAP files. Now that he's in that [04:02] office, what's he doing to control and [04:05] constrain the gatekeepers inside the CIA [04:09] who are responsible for hindering access [04:12] by the Congress to files? Now, there's a [04:16] very important matter that's come up [04:18] before the Congress just in the last few [04:20] days. A gentleman uh by the name of [04:24] James Erdman, he's a former ranger. [04:27] Rangers lead the way. I've been in some [04:29] sticky places with Rangers. They're [04:31] they're good people. He served in the US [04:34] Army's second battalion 75th Ranger [04:37] Regiment. He's a state department [04:39] foreign service officer in his time. [04:42] He's received the DNI award, the CIA [04:44] Medal of Merit, and he was detailed to [04:47] the Office of the Director of National [04:49] Intelligence under Tulsi Gabbard as PAC [04:51] part of her director's initiatives group [04:54] DIG from roughly March last year to [04:58] April this year and he was reviewing [05:01] intelligence community matters including [05:04] the origins of CO. Now, at the moment, I [05:08] guess he's left the DIG role. He's not [05:11] strictly former CIA. He's been called a [05:14] whistleblower. Some people dispute that, [05:16] but let's not split hairs. He's somebody [05:18] giving evidence in a way that the CIA [05:21] clearly didn't like. And on the 13th of [05:24] May, in testimony before the Senate [05:26] Homeland Security and Governmental [05:28] Affairs Committee, which was chaired by [05:30] Senator Rand Paul, they were looking at [05:33] the origins of the coid9 origins [05:37] coverup. And Erdman stated that when the [05:40] DIG ceased operations, the CIA took back [05:44] 40 boxes of JFK files and MK Ultra files [05:49] that were still in the process of being [05:52] processed for declassification by the [05:55] DNI, by DNI Gabbard. Now, he framed this [05:59] as the CIA intervening to reclaim [06:02] documents from the ODNI that were in the [06:05] process of being declassified pursuant [06:08] to President Trump's executive order, [06:10] which demanded full declassification of [06:14] all the remaining JFK assassination [06:17] records with related efforts on MLK and [06:20] RFK. Now, the implication was from this [06:24] Erdman chap that the action circumvented [06:27] oversight, that it was in some way [06:29] blocking transparency or that it was in [06:32] some way a withholding of records long [06:35] sought by Congress. Now, we can't be [06:38] clear at the moment because it's just [06:39] not clear what was in those boxes [06:41] because the CIA's taken them back. But I [06:45] think Representative Anna Paulina Luna [06:47] is completely within her rights to [06:49] demand that the CIA returns them and [06:52] accounts to the Office of the Director [06:54] of National Intelligence about what was [06:56] in those boxes and gives a reassurance [06:59] that nothing in them has since been [07:01] destroyed. I I frankly can't believe [07:04] that the director of national [07:06] intelligence office which has the legal [07:09] authority the DNI is it's the head of [07:12] the US intelligence community um [07:15] essentially it's set up under the [07:17] intelligence reform and terrorism [07:19] prevention act of 2004. The CIA director [07:23] reports directly to the DNI. It is [07:27] subordinate to the DNI. The DNI is the [07:30] principal intelligence advisor to the [07:33] president, not the other way around. [07:37] So the authorities that the ODNI have [07:40] include full access to all national [07:43] intelligence. All national intelligence. [07:46] The CIA is not allowed to withhold [07:48] anything from the director of national [07:50] intelligence. They also have at DNI full [07:54] oversight of the National Intelligence [07:57] Program budget that fully funds the CIA. [08:00] So if the CIA is constraining access by [08:03] the Office of the Director of National [08:05] Intelligence, by golly, they've better [08:07] watch out. I have a sense that Tulsi [08:09] Gabard is not going to put up with any [08:12] nonsense. And neither from the Congress [08:14] side is Representative Anna Paulina [08:17] Luna. Now, the CIA does have practical [08:22] and legal authority to manage and [08:25] reclaim physical custody of its own [08:28] records, even while they are being [08:31] processed for declassification by the [08:33] Office of the Director of National [08:35] Intelligence. It doesn't have a [08:38] unilateral power to override the [08:41] director of national intelligence or a [08:44] presidential executive order. And we're [08:46] not saying that's what's happened here [08:47] because we just don't know. So under [08:50] Executive Order 13526, classified [08:54] national security information and [08:55] related regulations, the CIA retains [08:59] primary control and declassification [09:02] authority for information it originally [09:04] classified. It can the ODNI can review [09:09] and direct declassification after [09:12] consult consultation with the CIA but [09:16] the records themselves are typically [09:19] loaned or referred to the director of [09:21] national intelligence rather than [09:23] permanently transferred. That doesn't [09:25] mean that the CIA has the right to come [09:28] in and just take those records away [09:30] while the Director of National [09:32] Intelligence Office is declassifying [09:34] them. Because the reason this matters, [09:37] we've been assured that all of the JFK [09:40] records, the MLK records, and funnily [09:43] enough, all the Epstein records have [09:45] been released. And that's just not true. [09:47] It's clearly not true from what we're [09:49] being told today by this Erdman chap. [09:52] and it's very important that he be [09:54] supported. It's absolutely outrageous [09:57] that the CIA feels it has the right and [10:01] the contemptable arrogance to accuse the [10:04] Congress of of indulging in political [10:07] theater for calling somebody from the [10:09] CIA without getting the CIA's permission [10:12] first. Oh, dams. I'm sorry for you. The [10:16] CIA is subordinate to the director of [10:19] national intelligence. It's time it [10:21] learned its ranking in the intelligence [10:24] community pyramid. And there really is a [10:27] question mark in my mind as to whether [10:28] or not it's time 50 years on from the [10:31] Church Committee inquiry to reassess the [10:34] CIA and see whether it's time for them [10:36] to be put under a rigorous blowtorrch [10:39] investigation where allegations of [10:42] crimes, including the alleged murder of [10:44] people in the UAP community, are brought [10:47] to public light. How much longer is the [10:50] president and the congress going to put [10:52] up with this nonsense from the [10:55] CIA? [10:57] Sorry, I've had my red. Thank you very [10:59] much. [11:00] >> All right, no problem. We will go into [11:01] our inbox. This is from Antonio. Hi, [11:04] Ross and Megan. Love your content on [11:06] YouTube. Watch both your channels. The [11:07] world needs more people like you. So, [11:09] the recent declassification of a bunch [11:11] of UAP files had me thinking. I'm seeing [11:14] a bunch of the videos and photographs [11:15] getting debunked online. Is this just a [11:17] big scop from the US government whereby [11:20] they release stuff? We internet sleuths [11:22] debunk them all so they can just sit [11:24] back and say, "See, we told you so. [11:26] Nothing to see here." Then carry on [11:28] hiding the truth for years. Am I being [11:31] too cynical? I really like to feel [11:33] hopeful, but I really don't trust the [11:35] Pentagon to deliver the goods. Keep up [11:36] the good work, Antonio. [11:38] >> I think that's exactly what's going on. [11:40] And I think the biggest indicator of [11:41] this was when the former ARO, the [11:43] Pentagon UAP investigations boss, Dr. [11:46] Sha Kirkpatrick, whom I suspect is [11:49] actually deeply involved in the legacy [11:51] program, came out and displayed a [11:54] contious, arrogant disregard for the [11:57] forthcoming release, predicting that it [11:59] would be a big fat nothing. It's almost [12:01] as if he knew what was coming. Funny [12:04] that. Yes, I do think that there is an [12:06] extremely high likelihood that people in [12:09] the Pentagon and the intelligence [12:11] community deliberately dropped the [12:13] lowhanging boring fruit in the in the [12:16] feeling the sense that the public would [12:18] go, "Oh, what a big yawn and go away." I [12:21] think they've been taken aback that [12:23] there have been literally hundreds of [12:26] millions of views of what frankly at the [12:30] moment is a fairly underwhelming drop in [12:32] the first tranch of UAP files. Hopefully [12:37] within the next week or so there will be [12:39] a further tranch which reveals more. If [12:43] they continue with what I think is scant [12:46] disregard for the president's demand [12:48] that there be full UAP disclosure, I can [12:52] tell you there is a distinct change of [12:55] mood inside the Congress. When you have [12:58] representatives calling for church [13:01] committee inquiries into the CIA, I [13:04] don't think the CIA knows what it's [13:06] doing. I really don't. I don't think [13:07] they have any sense or understanding of [13:10] the depth of public anger and contempt [13:13] for arrogant intelligence agencies that [13:16] believe that they can roll Russ over the [13:19] public's right to know. Yes, there may [13:21] be things that need to be classified in [13:23] the protection of genuine national [13:26] security concerns, but I do not think [13:28] the CIA or any other intelligence agency [13:31] should be making that decision. This [13:34] takes us right back to what we've been [13:36] talking about for months, which is the [13:38] risk of catastrophic disclosure. There [13:41] were key senators and congressmen who [13:44] blocked the imposition, the creation of [13:46] a presidential records review panel in [13:49] the uh defense appropriations bill at [13:52] the end of last year. If that [13:55] presidential records review board had [13:57] been instituted, you would have a [13:59] ninemember panel of greybeards, people [14:03] who were properly authorized and [14:05] instructed in releasing national [14:07] security information, who were able to [14:10] operate independent of the intelligence [14:12] community and make decisions about [14:15] disclosure. Instead, because some, how [14:19] does one say this politely? because some [14:21] individual inside the Congress decided [14:23] to stop the release of UAP presidential [14:28] records review panel data in legislation [14:30] that would have allowed this panel to [14:32] operate. We are no longer able to use [14:35] that system of declassification. [14:37] This is blowback on the people that [14:40] tried to stop the release of UAP data. I [14:44] can only reiterate there is a very grave [14:47] risk for the United States that if it [14:50] doesn't move quickly to show good faith [14:52] with the public on the release of UAP [14:55] information, there is going to be a [14:59] catastrophic disclosure. They don't know [15:01] what's coming and they better watch out. [15:04] A lot of good people are waiting to see [15:06] what the US government is going to do. [15:08] And it's very important and I think it's [15:11] positive news that the president through [15:13] Eric Burles who's revealed this just [15:15] today. Representative Berles has [15:17] revealed that the president will be [15:19] releasing a memo very shortly. Sorry. [15:22] Representative Bison has revealed that [15:24] the president will be releasing a memo [15:27] very shortly which will uh institute [15:30] into law a mandated requirement that UAP [15:34] disclosure occur. And if there's an [15:37] attempt, a continuing attempt by people [15:39] within the intelligence community, the [15:41] defense department, and in the private [15:44] military contractor community to try to [15:46] gag this release, we're going to start [15:48] naming and shaming them. And I think so [15:50] also is the Congress. They truly had [15:53] enough. There's a real change of mood [15:56] right now. The public has smelt the [15:58] blood in the water. Hundreds of millions [16:01] of people have accessed the UFO site on [16:05] the Department of War and they want real [16:08] information. They are not going to be [16:11] bullshitted anymore. [16:14] >> Right. I've had to bleep you a couple [16:15] times already today. So you're obviously [16:17] doing really well. I love it. [16:18] >> Do I have to be bleeded? What? Why do I [16:20] have to get bleeped on YouTube? Is there [16:21] something about [16:22] >> I think we do I think it's I think [16:24] it's that we we always bleep you on. [16:26] >> What about [16:28] I'm definitely I'm definitely believing [16:30] that. Yeah. [16:32] Um 100% I can guarantee you. Um I'm [16:35] believing that. Anything else we should [16:37] try before I [16:38] >> No, no, no, no, no. I'll just think of [16:40] suitable expletives that fall within the [16:42] prescribed FCC definitions of acceptable [16:44] language. [16:46] >> Okay, perfect. I know that you love the [16:47] rules. We'll go to X1959. Super lead [16:50] wants to know, "Hi Megan, can Ross [16:52] comment on Dr. Latsk's statement [16:54] regarding the disinformation spread by [16:56] some of the whistleblowers that gave [16:58] testimony to Congress, particularly to [17:00] OAP? Is disclosure being exploited and [17:03] who would benefit?" [17:05] Okay. So, James Latsky, Jim Latsky is a [17:08] former DIA intelligence analyst, rocket [17:12] scientist, and director at the time of [17:14] the advanced aerospace weapons special [17:17] systems applications program or ORAP. [17:21] And there's been a long ding-dong going [17:23] on between him and let's name and shame, [17:26] Louondo, who has talked about his role [17:29] at AIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat [17:32] Identification Program. [17:34] And I have to admit I still don't quite [17:37] understand why James Latsky is still [17:40] doing this. And I I still also don't [17:42] understand why Lou can't make a clear [17:45] clarification about what ATIP's role was [17:48] in relation to OSAP. I suspect there is [17:52] a lot more there to be told, but [17:54] essentially what Jim Latsky said in a [17:56] weaponized episode with Jeremy Corbell [17:59] and George Knap uh was uh I would say [18:03] that no one I would hope that no one is [18:06] lying to Congress. However, I know [18:08] differently in these hearings. I know [18:12] that people have lied. James Latsky [18:15] said, "They said what they said and I [18:18] can't go back and correct it even though [18:20] I have proof that could correct it. I [18:22] can't do that. It's too late." He's a [18:25] terrible tease, Jim, because he doesn't [18:27] actually say who he's talking about. And [18:29] so that's left fuel on the fire. It's [18:32] inflamed speculation on social media [18:34] about just who he's talking about. But [18:37] the the surrounding discussion and um [18:40] community analysis tie this directly to [18:43] alleged misrepresentations of [18:45] conflations involving ORAP uh the [18:48] official congressionally funded DIA [18:51] program that um that Latsky proposed, [18:55] designed and managed from 2008 [18:59] to 2010 versus the latter informally [19:04] nicknamed continued effort. sometimes [19:06] called ATIP. And I know Lou uh Lou [19:10] Alzando has at times asserted that ATIP [19:13] was associated with part of Osap and Jim [19:17] Latsky has rejoined that that is not the [19:20] case. And look, there is a bigger story [19:23] here and I think it has a lot to do with [19:24] Lou Alzando's true role as a counter [19:27] intelligence official in the defense [19:30] department. That's as far as I'm [19:32] prepared to go. At some stage, Lou, I [19:34] think, is going to have to give a [19:36] clearer accounting of what his precise [19:38] role was, both in the alleged ATIP [19:42] program and possibly also in his [19:44] knowledge of and involvement with the [19:47] legacy program. I'll leave it at that. [19:50] But I do think that for the UAP [19:53] commentary community, this is very [19:55] unhealthy. I think it's time the air was [19:58] cleared. And I think as disclosure rolls [20:01] out hopefully in the next few months, I [20:04] do think it's going to become clearer [20:05] about what the prescribed roles were of [20:08] certain individuals and whether the um [20:11] UAP community has been given the full [20:14] story about people's roles. I think part [20:18] of the issue here is national security [20:20] constraints. I do think that there are [20:22] people operating within UAP disclosure [20:26] as advocates for disclosure and I do [20:29] think they are very genuine. But I do [20:32] think that a decision was made right [20:34] back at the time of the 2016 Clinton [20:38] Trump election campaign for the [20:40] presidency that there was going to be a [20:42] faction within the defense department in [20:44] the intelligence community that tried to [20:47] preempt what they thought was the [20:48] likelihood that Clinton was going to [20:50] become president. And in the expectation [20:53] that Hillary Clinton was going to become [20:55] president, there was the creation of the [20:57] to the stars academy with various [21:00] people. Jim Simovan, Lua Lzando, others [21:04] being brought in as representatives or [21:07] kind faces of disclosure. And I do think [21:11] that was a laudable and genuine [21:15] initiative, but I suspect it may also [21:17] have been an initiative designed to try [21:20] to control or constrain the narrative. I [21:24] don't know. I'm only speculating. But at [21:26] some stage there is going to have to be [21:28] a clearer accounting because it's clear [21:30] there is bad blood, let's be honest [21:32] about it, between James Leky and Lu [21:35] Lzando. And there is towards Lou from [21:38] other people in the social media UAP [21:41] commentary community, people who have [21:43] served within government who obviously [21:45] feel I think some resentment that things [21:48] are not being properly represented. And [21:50] I can kind of sympathize with Lou to [21:52] some degree. I know exactly what Lou's [21:54] role was and I know he hasn't been [21:56] allowed to talk about it because for him [21:58] to talk about it would be a breach of [22:00] his national security oath because it [22:02] would go to the heart of the existence [22:04] of the legacy UAP retrieval and reverse [22:07] engineering program. But I do think that [22:10] in the interests of clarity and public [22:12] full disclosure, it really is time that [22:14] this silly tiff between James Latsky and [22:17] Lou Alzando was resolved because all [22:20] it's doing is sending a message to the [22:21] debunkers that they can have some fun [22:23] with the discord and um uh en enmity [22:27] between different groups and factions [22:29] inside this community. [22:31] >> All right, we have a exp post from [22:33] Adrian. Good day. Say that in your best [22:36] Aussie accent, Megan. Um, okay. Uh, good [22:39] day, Ross. Interested to hear your [22:41] thoughts on the theory of a galactic [22:43] federation that is essentially a [22:45] coalition of advanced species that [22:47] monitor and protect the galaxy and even [22:49] interact with key figures on Earth. [22:51] Wacky, yes. But, [22:54] >> okay, the Galactic Federation. I have no [22:57] idea whether there is such a thing. [22:59] Obviously, if there is NHI and if there [23:02] are NHI engaging benevolently or [23:05] malevolently towards humanity, one might [23:08] assume that there is a community or a [23:11] grouping thereof of NHI. I just don't [23:14] know. Um, it all sounds very Star Treky [23:17] and I think the first origins of the [23:20] notion of a galactic federation go right [23:22] back to the 1950s to the 1970s where [23:26] people started channeling. People [23:28] claimed that they were in psychic [23:29] contact with what they called the Ashtar [23:32] command. It was a me messages were [23:35] coming in from an alleged commander of [23:38] extraterrestrials called Ashtar. And [23:41] this was channeled by people like George [23:43] Vanassel and later others. And it [23:46] described a vast galactic federation of [23:48] light as a peacekeeping force opposing [23:51] dark forces with millions of spaceships [23:54] ready to assist and help humanity. Of [23:57] course, that hasn't happened, and I [23:58] think we're entitled to be deeply [23:59] skeptical. In the 1990s, it became more [24:02] of a new age idea, and Sheldon N's [24:05] ground crew crew project heavily [24:08] featured chneled communications from a [24:10] photonbuilt [24:12] galactic federation of planets claiming [24:14] an impending mass landing. Um, there was [24:18] claims also of a union of over 200,000 [24:21] star nations focused on ascension and [24:23] defense against negative entities. It's [24:25] all very happy and there's not a jot of [24:28] bloody evidence for any of it. Where [24:30] it's got interesting, I noticed Elena [24:32] Denan, for example, a contemporary UAP [24:35] commentator, is claiming direct contact [24:38] with a galactic federation of worlds. [24:41] And um media TV like Gia, ancient aliens [24:44] have had a lot of fun with the idea of a [24:46] galactic federation. I just haven't seen [24:49] any hard evidence. Probably the most [24:53] interesting claim is a claim made by a [24:56] guy who I would dearly love to sit down [24:59] in front of a camera and believe me I [25:01] have tried Mr. Him is shed, the former [25:04] head of Israel's space program. He's the [25:08] former space security chief, former head [25:11] of the defense ministry of Israel's [25:12] space directorate for nearly 30 years [25:15] and a threetime Israeli security award [25:19] recipient. in a Hebrew language [25:20] interview with the Yidiot Aharonaut [25:23] newspaper in Jerusalem, which was later [25:26] widely picked up by Western media across [25:29] the world. He made some extraordinary [25:32] claims about things that he said in his [25:34] book called The Universe Beyond the [25:37] Horizon. He claimed that the US and [25:40] Israel had been in secret contact with [25:43] extraterrestrials from a galactic [25:46] federation for years. He said that [25:50] agreements were signed allowing ETSs to [25:52] conduct experiments on Earth in exchange [25:55] for technological knowledge. He also [25:58] claimed that there is a joint [26:00] underground base on Mars with American [26:02] astronauts ET representatives. This is [26:06] really interesting stuff. This is coming [26:07] from the former head of Israel's space [26:10] program. Nobody is saying that he is [26:12] mentally unwell. He also said that [26:15] President Trump was aware and on the [26:17] verge of public disclosure. And this is [26:20] interesting because he said this about [26:21] two years ago, but he was asked [26:23] apparently Trump was asked by the [26:25] Federation not to do so to avoid mass [26:29] hysteria until humanity evolves and [26:32] reaches a stage where we will understand [26:35] what space and spaceships are. [26:39] Now, he presented these claims as [26:41] factual based on insider knowledge, but [26:45] he offered no documents. There's no [26:47] proof. There's no physical evidence. [26:49] There's no corroboration. Other Israeli [26:52] space officials, uh, including a guy [26:54] called Isaac Ben Israel, who's in the [26:57] space program, [26:59] acknowledged that Israel takes the [27:01] possibility of extraterrestrial life [27:03] very seriously. But he did a massive [27:05] sideswipe of urge and tried to avoid [27:08] even talking about what it was that his [27:10] former boss was talking about. He [27:12] dismissed the specific Federation claims [27:15] as quote going too far. So what do we [27:19] know? There is no specific empirical [27:23] documentary corroborative witness [27:24] evidence to support the idea that there [27:26] is such a thing as a galactic [27:28] federation. All references trace back to [27:31] either channelers making unsourced un [27:34] unverified messages, anecdotal claims by [27:37] people like shed. There's another [27:40] official actually a former um Canadian [27:43] official Paul Helier, the former [27:45] Canadian Minister of Defense, no less or [27:48] minister of national defense. and he [27:50] gave several UFO related interviews [27:53] where he referenced ET federations or [27:56] councils where he claimed he'd been told [27:59] about the existence of such a [28:00] federation. [28:02] It it's really sad actually Paul Helas [28:04] since passed. He was a keen advocate for [28:06] disclosure. Again, not somebody whose [28:09] colleagues say was mentally ill or in [28:11] any way given to any kind of mass [28:13] delusion. He claimed to have spoken to [28:16] American generals and to have been [28:18] briefed about this stuff. But [28:20] essentially, frankly, I think Haime's [28:23] 2020 claims, that's how long ago it was, [28:26] they are the highest profile on record [28:30] official sounding statements. But [28:32] believe me, efforts by myself and others [28:35] to get anywhere near him shed to sit [28:38] down with him to have a one-on-one have [28:40] been frustrated by a very intense [28:43] curtain of quite unusual security [28:46] surrounding him, his family, his home, [28:49] and any of his associates. If Haimeshed [28:52] ever did want to talk about the Galactic [28:55] Federation or indeed any of those such [28:58] allegations, we would welcome him with [29:00] open arms on reality check, wouldn't we, [29:02] Megan? Unfortunately, there is no [29:05] prospect of that at the moment. [29:07] >> Yeah, I've also reached out as well and [29:09] um has not happened, but we're very [29:11] interested in it. [29:13] >> Absolutely. No, I'd love to see I'd love [29:15] to do an interview with him. one of the [29:17] things we get questions about a lot and [29:19] uh frankly uh sadly it would appear that [29:23] there are people inside inside the [29:24] Israeli government that don't want Mr. [29:26] Ashed to talk. [29:29] >> All right. Well, Ross, that is all the [29:30] time we have for today. Thank you so [29:32] much. [29:33] >> Okay. And thank you very much. And of [29:34] course, if you do want to send us your [29:36] questions, we can't guarantee we'll [29:38] always have the time to answer them, but [29:39] we'll give them a good hard go. The [29:42] email is reality check@newsnation [29:45] now.com. And please don't forget, as [29:48] well as watching reality check here on [29:50] YouTube, you can also listen to us now [29:53] on Audible and Spotify. So, too much [29:56] reality check of course is barely [29:58] enough. Thank you very much, Megan. [30:01] >> Thanks, Ross. [30:04] >> Hey everybody, Megan Medic here from [30:05] Unreported and Reality Check. And this [30:08] week we have an incredible guest for you [30:10] coming up on the show. This is a man [30:12] named David Russell and he is a lifelong [30:15] experiencer and professional musician [30:18] and he has been followed around by the [30:20] phenomena his entire life since he was [30:23] in the single digits numbers age- wise [30:26] and it's still happening to this day. He [30:28] tells me all about how he feels [30:30] sometimes that he can summon them or [30:32] they're trying to communicate with him [30:34] and that he's actually experienced this [30:36] with other people around including [30:38] people who you know Chris Bledsoe and he [30:40] has a lot to say about what David has [30:43] been experiencing his entire life and I [30:45] find this really interesting because [30:46] David is a man of faith and he did ask [30:50] this being once are you from Jesus and [30:55] it gave a response. David has all the [30:58] videos to show and document his [31:00] experiences and I can't wait for you [31:02] guys to see those and hear his stories [31:04] because it is truly very unique and I [31:07] think that you'll all be enlightened by [31:08] the end of the conversation. So, we will [31:10] see you this week on Unreported with [31:12] special guest David Russell.
