[0:00] lecture-length documentaries on the subject.
[0:03] In recent years, Congress has held multiple public hearings on UAP, which is a dramatic
[0:08] shift towards transparency.
[0:11] Thanks to many members of Congress, the issue is now being taken very seriously.
[0:16] We the people are finally hearing accounts in an incredible setting from first-hand
[0:21] U.S. military personnel about highly advanced unknown craft that fly rings around our front-line
[0:27] fighter jets.
[0:30] President Trump's unprecedented directive to release UAP files.
[0:35] We are seeing more and more of these type of craft captured on various government sensors,
[0:41] and I'm told this is just the beginning.
[0:44] One of the aspects to the phenomenon that's spoken about with less frequency are close
[0:49] encounters of the third kind, reporting by witnesses of entities of non-human sentient
[0:55] beings connected to the craft.
[0:59] Don't take it from me.
[1:00] Some of these reports come directly out of the United States Air Force's own files.
[1:05] In fact, the very scientist who coined the phrase close encounters of the third kind investigated
[1:12] cases for the United States Air Force from 1947 to 1969, Dr. J. Allen Hynek.
[1:18] According to Hynek, it was cases like those that the United States Air Force desperately tried
[1:23] to keep secret because it's one thing to try and confuse the public with weather balloons and
[1:29] swamp gas, and another entirely different when dealing with credible reports of non-human
[1:35] beings on the ground.
[1:38] I personally investigated one such case for over 16 years.
[1:43] The case occurred in Varginha, Brazil in 1996 and involves dozens of first-hand reports of
[1:49] UAP and direct contact with living, intelligent non-human beings who, according to multiple
[1:58] Brazilian witnesses, were flown out of Brazil to the United States in January of 1996.
[2:05] Recently, the former Brazilian Ministry of Defense, Aldo Rebelo, confirmed the incident occurred
[2:12] and stated if the U.S. disclosed information on this case, then we in Brazil could do the
[2:20] same.
[2:21] Mr. President, I am respectfully requesting that you declassify and release all files related
[2:28] to this case and others like it.
[2:31] We the people have a right to know.
[2:34] Reality should not be classified.
[2:36] Thank you.
[2:42] Thank you for being here today, and I just want to say, especially for the members standing
[2:46] behind us, as you know, this Congress, we were given permission to stand up the task
[2:50] force on declassification of federal secrets.
[2:53] Many of our colleagues did not believe in this up until really the video started coming out,
[2:58] and had it not been for the efforts of Representative Burleson, Birchit, Moskowitz, and the countless
[3:03] of other members who have backed us in this fight, you probably wouldn't see some of these
[3:07] files and videos that are coming out today, but it doesn't just stop here.
[3:11] For some time we've been pushing for there to be legislation, whether it be whistleblower
[3:14] protections or the UAP Disclosure Act, and it's been time and time again stonewalled
[3:19] by various intelligence agencies and staff within the House of Representatives, which is why
[3:24] we are grateful to the administration and their effort, as well as Stephen Miller's office,
[3:28] in pursuing the truth, something that we all should deserve transparency on.
[3:32] And so our next call to action will be that we are weaning with the White House.
[3:36] We are requesting that whistleblowers receive temporary immunity or permanent immunity, and
[3:42] if they are able to divulge whether it is locations of craft and or advanced technologies.
[3:48] As you know, this is something that we are all wanting to know the truth on.
[3:51] And again, without your cooperation, we wouldn't have been where we are at today.
[3:56] And so thank you.
[3:57] I'd like to now introduce Representative Eric Burleson.
[3:59] Thank you all for being here today.
[4:05] I want to first begin by thanking everyone that's here, and I want to thank my colleagues
[4:08] behind me.
[4:09] This task force, we could not do this without the incredible leadership of Representative
[4:14] Luna and my colleagues on the team.
[4:17] We also wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the brave men and women who have come forward
[4:23] as whistleblowers, who have plowed that soil.
[4:28] We wouldn't be here without these individuals.
[4:30] And we also wouldn't be here celebrating the victories that we have were it not for President
[4:36] Trump.
[4:37] We finally have a leader that the American people can trust to challenge institutions that
[4:42] have grown far too comfortable operating without accountability.
[4:47] For decades, the American people have been treated like children, told that our government
[4:52] secrets that they don't get to know.
[4:55] Don't ask.
[4:56] Don't expect answers.
[4:57] Just trust the process.
[4:58] Well, the American people are done with that answer, and I'm done with that answer.
[5:03] Over the last three years, we have made more progress on this issue than at any point in
[5:08] modern history.
[5:09] We've held hearings.
[5:11] We've reviewed Russian and Brazilian records, including a formal FBI inquiry into the 96th
[5:18] Varginha incident, where witnesses alleged the Brazilian military captured non-human entities
[5:24] and craft and buried the truth.
[5:27] Today, Aldo Ribello, who was the Ministry of Defense at the time, came forward and admitted
[5:34] that this event was true.
[5:36] We've sent targeted inquiries into MIT Lincoln Laboratories, MITRE, and every government agency
[5:43] that's been connected to UAP.
[5:44] We've worked with lawmakers across four continents.
[5:48] We've sought answers on cases like Matthew Sullivan, a would-be whistleblower whose tragic death
[5:55] deserves far more scrutiny than it has received.
[5:58] We've obtained video evidence, including the MQ-9 footage of a UAP incident off the coast of Yemen,
[6:04] delivered to my office through what can only be described as a Tom Clancy-style dead drop.
[6:10] Someone felt that they had, now think about this, someone felt they had to secretly hand
[6:16] information to an elected official, a member of Congress.
[6:20] Why would anyone fear bringing information to Congress?
[6:23] They shouldn't.
[6:25] We are no longer asking hypothetical questions anymore.
[6:28] Congress is requesting specific records and videos.
[6:31] These agencies and contractors know that we know that they exist, and we're going to get
[6:36] them released.
[6:38] We continue to receive credible claims of recovered craft and reverse engineering programs that
[6:43] may have operated for decades outside of any oversight.
[6:47] Those claims point to specific facilities, contractors, records, and people.
[6:54] Congress has a constitutional duty to follow them.
[6:57] And that duty does not vanish because someone stamped a document classified 30 years ago.
[7:02] It does not vanish because some bureaucrat says so.
[7:06] It does not vanish because a program has become so compartmentalized that even elected officials
[7:11] are expected to look the other way.
[7:14] The Constitution gave Congress oversight, authority for a reason.
[7:18] No one elected, no elected bureaucrat has that authority.
[7:21] This information is not yours to keep.
[7:24] It belongs to the American people.
[7:26] They own it and they deserve the truth.
[7:28] The most important people in this story are the whistleblowers.
[7:32] David Grush, Admiral Gallaudet, Dylan Borland, Jeff Nusatelli, and the many others who haven't
[7:40] been named yet.
[7:41] Their careers were upended.
[7:43] Their families were torn apart.
[7:45] They endured an avalanche of stress all because they believed this information belongs to you,
[7:51] the American people, and they attempted and tried to get it to you.
[7:56] Some will say they should have used more proper channels.
[8:00] To hell with the Safeway.
[8:03] The Safeway protects the system.
[8:06] These are people who simply wanted the American people to see what they know.
[8:09] And they deserve protection.
[8:11] They deserve our respect and they deserve a second chance.
[8:15] And we are at a different time.
[8:18] This is the age of disclosure.
[8:20] Mr. President, I'm asking you directly, waive the non-disclosure agreements that still bind
[8:26] these patriots.
[8:28] Grant immunity to anyone and everyone who has already come forward and everyone who will
[8:33] come forward.
[8:34] Open the door and let them speak.
[8:37] Because unless people know they will be protected, why would they come forward and step forward
[8:42] otherwise?
[8:44] It is time that we flip the script entirely as well.
[8:46] It has been said by people in positions that know that even presidents have been kept on
[8:52] a need-to-know basis.
[8:54] That Navy pilots, admirals, and generals describe programs to senior officials that commander-in-chiefs
[8:59] were never briefed on.
[9:01] Career bureaucrats who view presidents as temporary help.
[9:06] Here today, gone tomorrow.
[9:08] That is not classification.
[9:11] That's a constitutional crisis.
[9:14] Policy must be the default in the United States of America, and it should be required for those
[9:19] with knowledge to come forward, not wait for us to ask.
[9:24] There must be real penalties for officials who knowingly withhold information from Congress.
[9:29] Playing dumb is no longer acceptable.
[9:32] Hiding behind classification is no longer acceptable.
[9:35] Mr. President, you know that the agencies lie.
[9:39] You know that firsthand.
[9:41] They have lied to you.
[9:42] They have lied about you.
[9:44] They do not cooperate easily, and they never have.
[9:47] This is the moment.
[9:49] Use the authority that you have, Mr. President.
[9:51] The American people are behind you.
[9:53] And everyone listening today, in government, working for a contractor, retired, anywhere
[9:59] in the world, come to Congress.
[10:02] Come to these group of people.
[10:03] We will work with you.
[10:05] This is a worldwide call for action.
[10:07] And what you know and help, help us please release every record, every file, and every
[10:13] piece of information.
[10:14] The time is now.
[10:16] Thank you.
[10:17] And with that, I'll yield to, I'll yield to the general, Mr. Perry.
[10:27] Just be brief, be brilliant, and be gone.
[10:31] Well, it's good to be with you all.
[10:33] And it's great to be with my colleagues and people that want transparency in America.
[10:38] And just like my good friend, Mr. Burleson, Representative Burleson said, this isn't the
[10:42] government's information.
[10:43] Unless there's some kind of national security element that's going to imperil our safety,
[10:50] this is our information.
[10:51] We should have it, every single bit of it, and you shouldn't be crazy, and you shouldn't
[10:56] have your reputation destroyed because you want to disclose.
[11:00] This is our government.
[11:01] This is our country.
[11:02] This is our information, and damn it, we demand it.
[11:05] God bless you.
[11:11] Thank you all.
[11:12] My name is Congressman Tim Burchett, and I know you all got up this morning and said,
[11:14] Dadgum, I hope I get to stand out in the heat and listen to some redneck talking for too
[11:19] long.
[11:20] Well, I'll keep it short.
[11:21] I am a redneck, proudly.
[11:22] But it is a pleasure being here with you.
[11:24] I want to first salute the bravery of these folks standing back here on the back row for
[11:29] their guts.
[11:32] This country was not created by a bunch of meek pansies as people that took a stand,
[11:36] and these fellows took a stand, and thank you all so much.
[11:38] I really appreciate that.
[11:39] I appreciate my colleagues in Congress.
[11:42] I even have to say it, I appreciate my friends in the media today.
[11:45] So there you go.
[11:46] I've crossed over the divide, but I talked to the president about this issue, and he
[11:54] kept his word to me.
[11:55] He kept his word, and I think that's important.
[11:57] But I think we also need to remember, too, when I'm sitting in a skiff and some little
[12:01] punk in a man bun tells me the president's on a need-to-know basis, folks, that ought
[12:06] to tell you right there what we're up against.
[12:08] We're up against corruption.
[12:09] We're up against a cover-up.
[12:11] This thing's been covered up at least since 1947.
[12:14] Dadgummit, the public deserves the right to know.
[12:16] It's your dadgum tax dollars.
[12:18] It's not about little green men are flying saucers.
[12:21] It's about what are we spending all these millions and possibly billions of dollars on that these
[12:25] idiots tell us don't exist.
[12:27] And then yet we turn right around in a skip, and then they tell us they do exist.
[12:32] This is a cover-up.
[12:33] You all know it.
[12:34] We demand the answers, and dadgummit, we're going to get them.
[12:38] Look, we got one or two bites at this apple.
[12:41] Please be careful about the false information that's coming out of Washington on all this
[12:45] stuff.
[12:46] Trust your gut.
[12:47] You know what's right.
[12:48] You know they exist.
[12:49] You know this has been a cover-up since before most of you all have been born.
[12:53] Thank you all so much.
[12:54] Let's keep fighting for the truth, and thank you, Donald Trump, for keeping your word to
[12:58] me, and you all deserve to be in that skip with us.
[13:02] We shouldn't be the gatekeepers, and none else of these jugheads up here should either.
[13:07] All right?
[13:08] Let's get at it.
[13:09] Thank you all.
[13:14] And I don't care if he's across the aisle or not, he's one of the smartest guys I know
[13:19] in Congress, and he's one of my best friends.
[13:21] His name is Jared Moskowitz.
[13:22] Jared, come up here, brother.
[13:23] All right.
[13:28] That'll be used in my primary.
[13:29] Wonderful.
[13:30] Excuse me.
[13:31] I hate his gut.
[13:32] I don't like him.
[13:33] Thank you.
[13:34] Appreciate that.
[13:35] I don't have a plastic Jesus in my pocket.
[13:38] The correction for the record.
[13:40] Anyways, it's a pleasure to be here.
[13:42] It's a pleasure to be here with my colleagues, and let me thank the men and women behind them,
[13:48] not just for their courage, but for their service to the country.
[13:53] And that's what's changed.
[13:54] I mean, look, this conversation started years ago with people like the late Harry Reid,
[13:58] and then Marco Rubio, and Chuck Schumer, and now my colleagues and many others in the
[14:03] House.
[14:04] But one of the things that changed is the quality and the caliber of people who are coming forward,
[14:10] who have served our military, decorated people with the experience, airline pilots, and the
[14:16] technology in our hands, and the technology that our military has.
[14:21] That's what's changed.
[14:22] And what's also changed is we started asking questions, very simple questions.
[14:27] And this is what got me interested in the topic.
[14:30] We would ask questions, and they would then push back, and we would ask more questions,
[14:35] and the pushback became more significant.
[14:38] We would try to put language in an amendment, in a bill, and they would oppose it.
[14:44] They would secretly go to the chairman of committees to strip that language out.
[14:48] And that became clear to us that they were hiding something.
[14:52] And so listen, I don't know what the full truth is, but I know we're being lied to.
[14:58] And the American people know that also.
[15:00] And so look, the time for disclosure is now.
[15:04] Disclosure today, disclosure tomorrow.
[15:07] The American people have a right to know.
[15:09] We know about these advanced technology programs.
[15:12] We know they come out of Area 51.
[15:14] They did when we went to kill Osama bin Laden with an advanced technology helicopter that Congress
[15:20] never funded.
[15:21] There's trillions of dollars missing at the Pentagon.
[15:25] Where does that money go?
[15:27] And so it's time for the government to come forward.
[15:30] And what we need is we need your help, all of you here.
[15:34] I get asked this question by people in my community more than anything else.
[15:39] What does the government know, and why aren't they telling us?
[15:43] The American people can handle it.
[15:45] They can handle it.
[15:47] I trust them.
[15:48] And it's time that we tell them the truth.
[15:50] Thank you.
[15:51] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[16:01] My name is Leslie Kane.
[16:03] I'm one of the reporters who wrote the 2017 New York Times story that fundamentally changed
[16:09] the conversation about UAP.
[16:12] In the years that followed, members of Congress met with Navy pilots and received classified
[16:17] briefings.
[16:18] Some came to realize that the observed objects were highly unlikely to be American, Russian,
[16:23] or Chinese technology.
[16:25] But nobody would publicly confirm what they were.
[16:29] Then in 2023, the conversation changed again.
[16:34] Former intelligent official and whistleblower David Grush met with members of Congress,
[16:38] providing them with detailed information about covert government programs that he said possessed
[16:44] craft of non-human origin.
[16:46] This had been hidden from Congressional oversight for decades.
[16:51] I was privileged to have interviewed Mr. Grush extensively before publishing his story with my colleague, Ralph
[16:58] Blumenthal, three years ago.
[17:00] Six weeks after the story broke, Mr. Grush testified under penalty of perjury in an open congressional hearing.
[17:09] While under oath, he spoke about an ultra-secret crash retrieval program and stated that
[17:14] some craft contained specimens or pilots, which he called non-human biologics.
[17:22] The potential existence of another living, intelligent, advanced species has more implications for humanity
[17:29] than the recovery of technological hardware.
[17:33] Now, the conversation needs to shift again with more of a focus on biology and less on technology.
[17:40] Having served for decades on the staff of Congressional Intelligence and Defense Committees,
[17:45] Kirk McConnell, who is standing here today in the back, he was present in classified settings
[17:53] when highly credible sources briefed senators, including Marco Rubio, about recovered non-human bodies.
[18:00] Unlike legitimate national security concerns that require us to keep advanced technologies of non-human origin secret,
[18:11] that justification should not apply to biological evidence.
[18:15] Knowledge of the existence of another life form, studied and documented by qualified experts,
[18:22] should not be considered a threat to national security.
[18:26] By what authority can any institution withhold confirmation of what may be the most consequential scientific discovery in human history?
[18:39] Knowledge that we are not alone does not belong to any government or military.
[18:44] It belongs to all of humanity.
[18:47] Today, I call upon the President to prioritize the declassification and public release of any evidence
[18:54] concerning recovered, advanced, non-human biological entities.
[18:59] Thank you, and I turn this over now to David Grush.
[19:03] I'm Tal. I'll try to enunciate.
[19:08] Good afternoon. I'm here today because my leadership on the disclosure issue is part of my continued service to the nation.
[19:15] I took an oath as an Air Force officer swearing allegiance to the principles and the framework of the U.S. Constitution.
[19:23] I took that oath seriously then, and I take that oath seriously now.
[19:27] And if this is one of my final duties of public service, I want it to be this.
[19:33] Helping Congress and the President restore lawful accountability over activities and spending
[19:38] that should never have been placed beyond constitutional oversight,
[19:42] and to be transparent with the American people.
[19:44] There are a myriad of issues across multiple cultural, religious, and institutional spectrums.
[19:49] The topics here that we're discussing today go beyond life in the universe.
[19:54] There are serious homeland security and airspace safety issues.
[19:58] There are relevant counterintelligence and technology protection issues that must be taken into consideration.
[20:05] For decades, unknown objects have freely operated and restricted airspace in large metropolitan areas
[20:11] and critical infrastructure, and the agencies responsible for securing the homeland cannot adequately defend against it.
[20:18] This is a serious national security issue.
[20:20] In my official duties, I was exposed to human and signals intelligence information concerning foreign adversary,
[20:27] UAP crash retrieval, exploitation and study efforts,
[20:31] adversary views on U.S. legacy program reverse engineering efforts,
[20:37] and U.S. held audiovisual information related to crash retrieval matters,
[20:42] such as the recovered vehicles and the associated biological material.
[20:46] One must always be concerned about adversarial disinformation when you're getting foreign intelligence,
[20:53] but I was able to cross-verify this information internally to back up the foreign government assertions.
[20:59] Many of the president's team has been kept in the dark by high-ego, politically-appointed actors,
[21:08] both because of incompetence and malicious intent has subverted the president's order on this issue.
[21:14] Furthermore, some of this foreign intelligence has not been provided to Congress,
[21:20] despite lawful requests to the Defense Intelligence Agency last summer,
[21:24] and also having formally been published across the IC and analyzed by such analytical centers such as NASIC.
[21:31] These records belong under Congressional oversight,
[21:36] and I believe DIA should stop obstructing Chairman Luna's task force
[21:41] and provide those documents to Congress and enter it through mandatory declassification review
[21:46] so the American public can see some of the foreign intelligence I had access to.
[21:49] Secrecy around this issue did not appear overnight.
[21:54] Subsequent executive orders, Secretary of Defense memorandums, Department of Security
[21:59] basically nullified Congress' role with the judicial branch with oversight of this issue.
[22:04] Remember, classification exists to protect the nation.
[22:09] Executive Order 13-526 discusses what can and cannot be classified.
[22:13] Embarrassment, hiding funds, criminal activity,
[22:16] and the basic information about scientific information in the universe is unlawful for it to be classified.
[22:22] And this is why whistleblower protections matter.
[22:26] Through my federal litigation ongoing with the Department of War,
[22:31] I learned that the Air Force worked with an external agency to seek an investigation of me
[22:36] for alleged unauthorized disclosures punishable under the Espionage Act
[22:41] after I testified in front of Congress in 2023,
[22:45] discussing the results of my congressionally-directed investigation
[22:48] in the support of the first Trump administration.
[22:50] This should concern every member of Congress, regardless of party.
[22:53] To this day, I'm still fighting years of record-withholding,
[22:57] administrative obstruction, and a prolonged effort to get a medical-military retirement
[23:03] that I still am not in a retired status.
[23:05] This is also a real fraud, waste, and abuse issue.
[23:09] President Vance's task force is sharply focused on the issue of misuse of funds.
[23:13] The same accountability problem applies here.
[23:16] And during my investigation, I found slush funds to the tune of billions of dollars per annum for these activities.
[23:23] We cannot have one standard for the American people
[23:26] and another standard for the deep state that hide behind the veil of secrecy.
[23:29] President Trump has the authority to create an enduring legacy of government transparency,
[23:36] accountability, consistent with national security protections.
[23:40] Disclosure should not depend on leaks.
[23:42] It should not depend on the public taking my word for it or anyone else's.
[23:46] American people deserve more than vague denials and selective releases of prior administrations
[23:52] to include through troubled organizations such as Arrow.
[23:55] I applaud the President's efforts and his promise to show true American leadership on this issue of massive worldwide interest,
[24:02] over a billion views on the file drop website.
[24:06] So the time has come to stop asking the public to trust secret conclusions.
[24:11] Instead, provide an honest accounting of what it knows, what it's done, and what has been withheld.
[24:16] God bless America.
[24:17] I think we have about four minutes before they call votes to open it up for a quick round of questions.
[24:30] So if you guys can just, let's start with real America's voice.
[24:33] I certainly don't have the compendium.
[24:46] It's a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to, you know, what I would consider like sentient plasma life.
[24:53] But there are several that the U.S. government is aware of.
[24:58] Okay. Yeah, I can't comment on the content of that program.
[25:16] I've discussed on my interview in Judicial Watch.
[25:19] That was a National Security Council program.
[25:22] And the secrecy started in 1954 through an Eisenhower executive order that created that infrastructure.
[25:28] I think the sovereign contract between the citizenry and its government,
[25:45] I think the institutional rots that the lack of transparency in this issue
[25:49] is possibly going to cause an untenable socioeconomic condition
[25:54] if the government is not transparent akin to certain other,
[25:58] I don't want to say the Epstein files, that's a dirty word,
[26:01] but we could have that kind of scandal if we're not transparent on this issue.
[26:05] I would go watch James Fox's documentaries.
[26:19] I like the Disclosure is a great, great movie.
[26:22] That's a good primer.
[26:24] So, and I also, there is a declassified 1971 Australian formerly classified secret assessment
[26:31] that a couple of years ago was put in the Australian National Archives.
[26:34] I encourage people to read page seven through 16.
[26:37] And that was the nuclear branch chief of the Australian government discussing the U.S. cover-up
[26:42] and the involvement of the CIA back in the 70s.
[26:45] And that's actually a little-known document that is publicly available.
[26:49] That's an ongoing federal investigation.
[27:07] It's an ongoing federal investigation.
[27:08] Yeah.
[27:09] They're leading up.
[27:10] But a lot of the stuff that started happening and picking up speed
[27:13] is just weird that it somewhat correlates to the disclosure efforts.
[27:18] What was he coming in to testify for?
[27:19] That would be a question for Rep Burleson.
[27:21] Yeah, David.
[27:22] David.
[27:23] David.
[27:24] Oh.
[27:25] Well, yeah, Mr. Sullivan was on the legacy program.
[27:29] I served on active duty with him in the Air Force, but I don't want to discuss details
[27:33] of his knowledge until the federal investigation is completed.
[27:36] Okay.
[27:37] We'll go to Joe and then we'll be there.
[27:38] So, for those that are maybe not so familiar, can you explain right now what the road was
[27:44] on?
[27:46] What is preventing lawmakers from visiting locations that have been critical to work
[27:53] in the field?
[27:54] David, let Burchet in.
[27:55] Sure.
[27:56] The knowledge is there, but the ability to go and see them.
[27:59] I'll take a stab at that.
[28:01] If Congress says we're going to go to Area 51.
[28:03] Oh, my goodness.
[28:04] If Congress says we're going to go to Area 51, everybody says go to Area 51, Burchet.
[28:07] All I'm going to get there is a good dead gum t-shirt, all right?
[28:10] The moving van's already going to be there.
[28:12] The problem you have is, is that these things have been moved into private entities so that
[28:17] they don't have a FOIA.
[28:18] I could, you know, I could FOIA Ford Motor Company, but that doesn't mean they're going
[28:23] to do anything.
[28:24] That's why they moved it out of the federal government, and that's part of the roadblocks.
[28:28] Other roadblocks we've seen, we tried to get a committee.
[28:31] We've had staff members try to block us.
[28:33] When we first started this thing with that first hearing that Grush said that there's
[28:37] biological entities, they tried to move it into the, remember that Russian balloon that
[28:42] flew over?
[28:43] They tried to move it into that.
[28:44] Chinese.
[28:45] What was it?
[28:46] Chinese.
[28:47] Excuse me.
[28:48] They're all together.
[28:49] I don't care.
[28:50] No, I know they're not.
[28:51] But they tried to move it into that.
[28:52] We had staff members try to block us, just the top level.
[28:55] We've been in a skiff before, and we had a member of Congress come in and just try to
[28:59] disrupt the meeting, try to disrupt Grush, throw him all these trick questions, and he
[29:03] answered every dadgum one of them just right off the bat.
[29:06] He knocked it out of the park.
[29:07] Before we have to go, because this is the last question, we do have a meeting set up
[29:12] with the White House.
[29:13] The White House is going to play ball on this.
[29:15] So as Rep Burleson and Birchett has stated, they are following through on everything that
[29:19] we are sending them.
[29:20] So the next course of action and something that they are willing to entertain is if you
[29:24] are an intelligence official or have knowledge of locations of materials and in doing our
[29:30] due diligence and following up the task force, they are considering.
[29:33] And I do believe that they are going to be providing immunity permanently so that
[29:38] people can't be hit with a violation of the Espionage Act.
[29:40] So again, there's a lot of people that have a lot of information, but it's really
[29:44] can we prove it?
[29:45] And what information can we then bring forward to the American people?
[29:48] So we are still relying on you guys.
[29:49] Wait a minute.
[29:50] Let the guy with it.
[29:51] He's had his hand up the whole time, man.
[29:52] I mean, go ahead.
[29:53] There goes the bail.
[29:59] Quite a few.
[30:14] Several dozen.
[30:15] So that's an ongoing list.
[30:18] So I could give you an exact number because I don't even have, I didn't even have full access
[30:22] to that information.
[30:23] Several dozen.
[30:27] Yes.
[30:28] Yeah.
[30:29] Bottom line, we got to go vote.
[30:30] Bottom line.
[30:31] We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the bravery of these individuals who came forward,
[30:36] Mr. Grosh, and all of the whistleblowers.
[30:39] We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the political courage of my colleagues who took this issue from
[30:45] being a fringe issue to being something that everyone is talking about and is no longer,
[30:50] no longer a fringe issue.
[30:52] And we wouldn't be here if it weren't for this president who has taken a decades long request and finally brought us into the age of disclosure.
[31:02] And so, and I want to say thank you to the press as well, to James and to Leslie and to everyone who has helped cover this topic.
[31:12] We're here to fight for the American people, fight for the truth.
[31:15] And again, our last call to action is we want to challenge every foreign country.
[31:20] Do what the United States is doing.
[31:23] See what we're doing here.
[31:24] And we want to, we want to see your country follow suit.
[31:27] And we want to see if any individuals have any information.
[31:30] Do not be afraid to come to a member of Congress.
[31:33] We will protect you.
[31:34] And we will, we will make sure that the truth is out there.
[31:37] Thank you.
[31:38] It's shady.
[31:49] Y'all are the media.
[31:50] You'll figure it out.
[31:51] Of course, there's something going on.
[31:52] You had 14 rabbis, 14 preachers, 14 used car salesmen disappear.
[31:57] You'd be asking questions.
[31:58] There's something going on.
[32:00] What?
[32:06] Nothing to do with UFOs.
[32:07] I think he's just ill.
[32:12] Well, since you bear a striking resemblance to Steven Spielberg, I'm going to answer this.
[32:18] But Matthew McConaughey is going to play Tim Burchett in the Tim Burchett story.
[32:21] Okay.
[32:22] I just want you to know that.
[32:23] I can't talk about it.
[32:26] That's the problem.
[32:31] Thank y'all.
[32:32] Hey, tell your people to call their dadgum congressman.
[32:35] All right.
[32:36] We want disclosure.
[32:37] That's all you got to say.
[32:38] Disclosure.
[32:57] Christian, would you grab that?
[32:58] Thanks for having me up there.
[33:00] Oh, nice.
[33:01] Can I just see a fresh?
[33:02] Sure.
[33:03] Yeah.
[33:04] Oh, yeah.
[33:05] Yeah.
[33:06] Oh, yeah.
[33:07] Yeah.
[33:08] Oh, yeah.
[33:09] Yeah.
[33:10] Oh, yeah.
[33:11] Oh, yeah.
[33:12] Oh, yeah.
[33:13] Oh, yeah.
[33:14] Oh, yeah.
[33:16] But no.
[33:17] Okay.
[33:21] Oh, yeah.
[33:23] Nice catch.
[33:24] Oh, yeah.
[33:27] Come around.
[33:37] Thank you.
