Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
What's up, Dan? How are you? Good to see you.
Good, good to see you, man.
Good to see you again.
First time I saw you was the first time I saw your documentary,
which is fucking excellent.
Thank you, bro.
The Age of Disclosure, really good.
Can't recommend it enough.
If you're a UFO dork like myself,
and you're in and out, like sometimes like this is bullshit.
Maybe it's real. This is bullshit.
Maybe I'm wasting my time.
Maybe it's real.
Maybe it's go see the Age of Disclosure.
And then you'll be fully in the I don't fucking know,
but something's going on.
That's where I am right now.
I don't know, but something's going on.
Definitely something going on.
It's a real situation.
Yeah, it's a real weird one.
When you see all these like high level government employees
talking about secret access programs
and back engineering programs
that have been going on for decades and decades
and secrecy and you're like,
your documentary did a fantastic job
of highlighting a couple of reasons
why I always, when people are skeptical
and they go, okay, if there was a program like this,
why wouldn't they just tell us?
You have to really understand
the consequences of what they've done
because what they've done is lied to Congress
for a long time.
It's misappropriation of funds,
clear felonies.
Lie to the public,
lie to Congress,
lie to the sitting presidents.
Just the money stuff.
And also, let's just be really,
let's be just honest about human nature.
If you have complete access
to enormous amounts of money
that's not under any oversight at all,
for sure some of it went in the pockets
of people that probably shouldn't have got it.
A hundred percent.
I think it's safe to say.
A hundred percent.
It has to.
Everyone I've talked to
who's aware of the details
of the Deeply Hidden Legacy program
says that it's at least over a trillion dollars
spent since the 40s.
Oh my God.
It's an enormous amount of money.
Oh my God.
And it's a much bigger program
than people would suspect.
You're talking thousands of people,
full-time jobs,
then going home to their families,
the guy sitting next to your kid's
Little League baseball game,
you know, normal people on the outside
are involved in this Deeply Hidden program.
It's bonkers.
And the idea,
this is another thing that drives me nuts,
the idea that people can't keep secrets,
shut the fuck up.
No.
Yes, they can.
If you're told your reputation-
Some people,
some people can't keep secrets,
but by the time you get to be
a high-level operative
in the United States government,
I'm guessing you can keep a fucking secret.
Yeah.
And if you're told,
hey, you could disappear one day
or you can have your reputation
ruined,
you're going to get blackmailed
about this or that,
you're just going to keep quiet.
Yeah, people can keep secrets.
And by the way,
not everybody does.
The Bob Lazar story,
to this day,
is like,
that documentary by Jeremy Corbell
was the reason
why I went all the way back in
with UFOs.
I'm like,
all right,
God damn it,
I believe Bob.
It's a great talk.
It's a great talk.
It's a great talk.
And that one's available.
It's Area 50,
Bob Lazar,
Area 51,
and Flying Saucers.
Is that the name of it?
The title of it?
Something along those lines?
Fantastic documentary.
For me,
look,
my childhood was the 80s
and early 90s,
so I grew up on movies
like E.T.
and Close Encounters
and TV shows like X-Files
and movies like Fire in the Sky.
Remember that movie?
Oh, yeah.
I had Travis in here.
Yeah, you did.
I loved that interview.
Fantastic.
That movie gave me nightmares.
Crazy.
Kept me up as a kid.
A couple of those guys
on that crew hated him.
Like one of them
he got in a fist fight
with that day.
Yeah.
And that guy had
the exact same story
that everybody else had.
He got hit by a beam of light.
They went back to get him.
He was gone.
Then five days later,
he shows up.
He's not malnourished.
He hasn't been sleeping
in the woods.
It's crazy.
And he's got this
fucking insane story
about being repaired
on a UFO.
And all those guys
passed a lie detector case.
Yes, all of them did.
Movies like that,
I'm sure for millions
of people around the world,
same thing.
It just made me curious
about this.
My whole life,
I'm like,
are we alone in the universe?
Does the US government
know more about this
than we do, right?
And I always wish
that there was a documentary
that only interviewed
people who have
direct knowledge
of the topic
as a result of work
for the government.
And that was the real drive
of making this film.
Everybody fits that criteria.
Here's the fear
that everyone has,
including myself.
And it is the way,
this is the main fear
that I have
whenever I sit down
with any whistleblower.
How many of them
are on purpose
that their directive,
that their objective
is to spread misinformation
on purpose,
on behalf of the government,
that they're there
to just bullshit you?
Yeah, of course,
I had that thought.
But for me,
I stopped worrying
about that
when I met
one intelligence official,
government official,
military official
after another
who had completely
different ideological views,
different political beliefs,
they weren't associated
with each other,
and they were all
saying the same thing.
And so,
I just don't,
the alternative
to everything
these people are saying
in my film being true
is that 34 people
of different political parties,
different government groups,
with different aspirations
all got together
four years ago
and decided to tell
this elaborate lie
randomly with me
in a movie
and for what end?
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, there is a couple ends,
right?
One of them could be
they're being told
to do this
because this is a real thing
but it's different
than what they're saying
and they're trying
to get one narrative
out there.
Well,
let's imagine
that there's
a current
coordinated effort
with the United States
government
and some sort
of alien intelligence.
Wouldn't it behoove you
to make it more
of a mystery?
Like,
we've been trying,
we've been,
we have found things
but we don't know
what they are
and we're back engineering
but we don't know much.
Meanwhile,
they know way more.
Well, yeah, look.
Like, that's just one scenario.
That could be a scenario
but in this case
you have people
like Rubio
who found out
what's going on
who think
it is very urgent
that the public
get caught up
and find out
the base facts.
His biggest fear
clearly
is we are in
a high stakes
technology race,
a Cold War race
with adversarial nations
like China
to reverse engineer
technology of non-human origin
and his fear,
he literally says
in the film,
is that
if we don't get
our act together
and take this more seriously
as a country
we're going to wake up one day
and we're going to find out
the hard way
that China got there.
We won't know when
or how
but to quote him
we will be screwed.
You could feel it.
I did all the interviews
myself.
I'm like this close to him.
His chin buckled
when he said it.
He was dead serious
and he was super concerned
and you could feel it
and that was the vibe
with Senator Rounds,
Senator Gillibrand,
Jim Clapper.
The guy's never
talked about this topic
in his life.
He's in his 80s.
He was the head
of Air Force Intelligence.
He was the director
of National Intelligence.
Never publicly spoken
about UAP.
He comes out
and does the interview
and he told me
that he was doing it
because it was important
to do
and that the people
needed to know.
He drops the bomb
in the film
that UAP activity
over Air 51
is real.
It's in fact real.
He goes on the record
saying that the Air Force
has had a program
to investigate this stuff
whereas the Air Force
is saying they haven't
had a program
since Project Blue Book.
So I think the people
that I interviewed
really felt like
a weight on their shoulders
to get this off their chest
and to give you more context
on Clapper,
the poor guy's wife
was in the hospital dying.
He left the hospital
to come do the interview
and I actually said to him,
I was like,
are you sure you want
to do this today?
And he's like,
no, I want to do it.
It's important.
Wow.
So like I think
I really felt it.
These people all felt
like the public
needed to know
the base facts
that they could lawfully disclose
and to me the more wild thing
is if what they reveal
in this film,
the fact that
there's been an 80-year cover-up
of Non-Human Intelligent Life,
that we're in a secret
high-stakes race
with adversarial nations,
if that's what they can
lawfully disclose,
dude,
what's on the other side
of that line?
What's the stuff
they can't disclose?
You know?
Yeah.
When you're talking
to these people,
how many of them
have had personal experiences
that they either can
or cannot talk about?
Or how many of them,
has anyone had
some sort of personal experience
with either a craft,
or seen something?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That they couldn't talk about?
That they,
there were some scenarios
that they couldn't talk about
and then there were
some scenarios
they could talk about.
But yes,
Jay Stratton,
for example,
who ran the U.S.
government's UAP task force,
he was the director
of the UAP task force.
He co-founded
ASAP with Jim Wachowski,
which grew into AATIP.
he has seen with his own eyes
non-human craft
and non-human beings.
Some situations
that he can't talk about,
some situations
that he can.
And I know
he intends to talk about
those in the very near future.
Yeah,
I've talked to him.
So,
is that the only one
that saw a non-human being
that you talked to?
No.
Talked to a couple people
who have.
And were they
similar stories?
They were similar stories.
They,
they,
they described
the beings
looking,
the reference point
they gave me
was
very similar
to the beings
depicted in Close Encounters.
That is the description
they used.
Yeah.
The,
in terms of the crafts,
one of the interviews
in the film
that I'm really proud of,
an Air Force security guard
who worked at
Vanderburgh Air Force Base,
who's never gone public,
witnessed with his own eyes
along with five other
security forces members,
a giant UAP
the size of a football field
that came over
Vanderburgh Air Force Base,
hovered over them,
and then shot off
at thousands of miles an hour.
And he went on the record
on camera.
He's never talked about it publicly.
He's never pursued press
or, you know,
tried to do anything
with this experience.
Right.
And he broke his silence
in this film
because he thought
it was really important
that the world know the truth.
Did you ask him
if there's any footage?
I would imagine
Vanderburgh
here's some pretty tight security.
Yeah, he thinks
that there is
security camera footage
of this.
But he's never seen it.
He's never seen it,
no.
Good lord, people.
Him and five other guys
saw it with their own eyes.
They all reported it.
There's official
Air Force police blogger
reports of it.
I got a hold
of the police report.
We put it on screen
in the film.
That's what drives me crazy.
All this could be cleared up
if they released
whatever high resolution
security camera footage
they have.
I would imagine
they have top notch
security camera footage
around major
military facilities.
Yeah.
Right?
That's one of the hurdles
we have to get past.
We have to
start declassifying.
It's just like
that shouldn't be yours.
That should be
the United States
government
has an obligation
to give that
to the people of the world.
That's what that should be.
If you have footage
of a fucking UFO
or a real one
and you really have
a video of it
going thousands of miles
an hour
just disappearing
into the sky.
Yeah.
100%.
I mean,
I don't think
any government
or organization
or religion
anyone should be able
to gatekeep
these fundamental facts.
I know,
but the problem is
until you see it
it's just talk.
If you saw it
and you know
the chain of command
where it came from
or chain of custody
rather where it came from
it hasn't been molested
have analysts tested
it's not AI
it's not bullshit
it's not edited
okay, what is it?
Yeah.
