Take Me To Your Leader · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Take me to your leaders. Unless they're jackasses. They seem
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: like jackasses. It's one more thing.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty, one more thing before we get
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: to your thing. I know we're about to talk about
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the UFO hearing as they had the other day. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: as a guy who listens to lots of podcasts and
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: reads tons of stuff, I've noticed the change in the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: last couple of years. There are way more of your
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: super smart people saying I think there's a decent chance
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we are the only life in the universe, as opposed
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to like my whole life where it was now, that'd
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: be crazy to think that. Now they're the super educated
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: people who spend their lives on this, there's like a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: backlash to that, Like, no, there's very good reason to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: believe we are the only life that exists in the universe.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I've got to admit, having been convinced of the other
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: point of view from my whole life, I find that
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: counter into it been difficult to buy, but I haven't
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: dug into it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, look, you know, just like search it on
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: YouTube you'll find MIT professors talking going through the reasons
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: why they think that's quite possibly because it's just very
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: very difficult and takes a whole bunch of extraordinary things
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to occur. Yeah, temperature water. Nobody's exactly sure how life
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: started anyway, but maybe there's just none anywhere, Katie.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Your gut reaction, Oh, I for sure think there's like
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: aliens or something.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure something well, and the other I'll let you
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: argue with the MIT professor with that they're hiding something.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I totally think for sure there's life somewhere. I tend
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to be on your side.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: But yeah, and the other thing that I, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: tended to forget about until I took a college class
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: on This was an unbelievably easy class. I mean, home man,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: talk about an easy a. You hardly had to fogg
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: a mirror anyway. But it was super interesting and fun.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: But you know, in the history of the globe, which is,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: you know, couple of billions a year whatever it is,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: human beings have existed for like well, just life in
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: general has existed for like a blink of that time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And so not only would.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: You have to have you know, life here and then
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: there's some here and then way over there, but it
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: would have to exist at the same time across billions
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: of years, right, that's Elon, But I'm aware of each other,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that's Elon.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Musk's point is that unless you are inter multiplanetary species,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: which is why he wants to get us to Mars,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: there's almost no chance of your surviving because there's a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a time limit on all planets for
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: where it's going to be too hot or too cold
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: for the life to continue. So again, there could have
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: been life, maybe maybe a very long you know, one
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: hundred million years ago or one hundred million years from now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: but the idea that there's intelligent life somewhere right now
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that could reach us is very very low.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating topic, no doubt. But getting back to my
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: charming introduction. Take me to your leaders big hearing the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: other day in the United States Congress.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I like that version of interplanetary. Yeah, there's plenty of life.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's close by. They can immediately come here. They speak English,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: which is very handy. Well, they have translators.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's good they had Google Translate before Google.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Did I appreciate you learning the English language before you land?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Come down and they have three fingers.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're basically us, just slightly different.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, always bald headed, always kind of translucent with smooth
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: weird heads. Anyway, you know what, the old Star Trek
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: was so great for aliens. I mean because they really
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: tried hard with the technology of the time to be imaginative.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: It wasn't all you know, bald headed, et looking creatures.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It was everything from like sparkles of energy to very
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: humanoid to like hot green chicks.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, really ran the gamut.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Of what with Mars attacks.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, great old movie. Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Anyway, So there's a hearing the other day Congressional panel
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: what the House Oversight Committee.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Evidently they oversee space aliens.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: But it's funny because this account in the Wall Street Journal,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: which you'd think would be among the more sober accounts
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of this, just kind of glosses over all. Right, are
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: we talking about freaking space aliens? Are we just talking
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: about objects observed by military pilots that have not yet
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: been identified?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Do I think I think China has planes or drones
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that we don't know about and are hard to detect a.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Freaking course, right?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And or do we think that DARPA is developing weapons
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: and reconnaissance aircraft and sometimes they try them out on
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: our very guys to see if they can be detected
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and in what way and how quickly and that sort
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: of thing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I think that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: So the hearing Wednesday by two House Oversight Subcommittee's latest
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: in Congress is push for transparent around UFOs, which seems
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like a terrible idea to me, for reasons I'll get into.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Witnesses have alleged that they've seen aerial phenomena exhibiting qualities
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: that defy explanation, that the US government has taken steps.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: To shield what it knows.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And you've got Nancy Mayce, who's the hottie from South
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Carolina who about half the time strikes me as a
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: really good congress person, then the other half of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: time she strikes me as a nut. But she said
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: she's the chairwoman of one of the subcommittees, said in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: her opening remarks that some people didn't want Wednesdays hearing
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: to happen because they feared what might be disclosed. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: we stood firm no amount of outside pressure would ever
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: keep me from pursuing a subject. What if it's like
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: highly classified weapons systems to keep us from being overrun
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: by the Chinese commie horde, sweetheart, then would you disclose
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it to the public.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Not good.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Congress in twenty twenty two held its first hearing on
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: US what it now calls Unidentified anomalous phenomenon or UAPs.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Again, why did they have to change?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Or if there's like flying pigs, that would be well, no,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I suppose that would be an identified anomalous phenomena.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, I know what that is. That's a flying pig.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Oh when the hole wind pigs fly thing is now,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I'll be damned, but identified? Yes, everybody keep cool. Since then,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: lawmakers in the public have heard from military and intelligence
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: officers who've testified they've seen UAP and they could pose.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Risks to national security.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: And the Pentagon did not respond to a request for
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: comment on Wednesday.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just done.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: We're dealing with this as fast as we can can.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: We just keep kind of quiet about it all because
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: we're developing counters to these Chinese spy tiny spy drones,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and we don't want to talk about it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, Nancy.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: The other thing that has changed in my lifetime that
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: makes sense, not only is there, you know, this newfound
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: belief that maybe there is no other life in the universes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Why are we sending out signals to try to reach them?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That stupid Stephen Hawking was the first person I heard
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: say that, and then others have written books about it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That's the last thing you do if you're some tiny
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: little beast in the weeds in Africa is like raise
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: up your arms, say hey, any giant predators out there
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that are much bigger, stronger than meat that would like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to kill me?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Anybody I'm over here? Why would you do that? Why
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: would you send out the you know, the the voyager
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that's still headed out into space and elons that went
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: out a while back, with all kinds of trying to
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: alert people that, hey, Israel a week plant over here
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: if you want to come kill us.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Just we're made of meat, and we've got lots of
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: natural resources.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: We're made of meat. Meat.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I'm reminded of one of Henry Kissinger's descriptions of America
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and Americans. We're a big friendly dog, and sometimes our
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: tail knocks stuff and breaks it. But and and you can,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: you know, cite this in looking at the way we
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: deal with the Muslim world, in dealing with China for
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: several decades and There are several others examples of this,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: But we're we're nice people, Americans in large measure, we
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: just want to be friends and do business, and so
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: we have this idiotic assumption that everybody else just wants
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to be friends and do business, including space aliens. Right,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: you're on Flutron five. Hey, do you want to be
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: our friend? Do you want to be our friends?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Sap? Well, no, we'd like to eat you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Dar resources that their ray gun. They just zap you
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: with their ray gun.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: This is what happens, No words necessary. It's what happened
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: in the horror movie Signs. They started communicating with the
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: aliens through a baby monitor and everybody died.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the idea that that would automatically somehow benefit humanity
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: if we did contact a almost certainly superior life format.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: How why would you assume that that's really weird that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: we ever thought that, let alone it being the consensus
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of view.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It's a very American thing to do, it is.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: The Pentagon has previously said there is no evidence that
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: UFO sightings are alien spacecraft. Thank god, I don't not.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Since having achieved arguably manhood, have I spent much time
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: at all thinking about space alien micraft nobly not. It's
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: it's it's advanced military technologies from ours and other governments obviously.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Now some okay, all right, hey, you know me, mister,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I want to hear the opposing point of view.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You think it may be.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: A cigar shaped silvery spaceship.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Is that what you could be?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm thinking. The saucer exactly coming down with
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: the beam.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Got the beam picks you up, probes you maybe ainally
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and I haven't thought always part of it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so much probing always part of it. Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Now some of the like miraculous stops and starts and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: changes the direction and speed that they've observed in these
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: craft is I've got to admit it. It looks to
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: be beyond terrestrial technology. But the fact that I can't
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: come up with the explanation, partly because I'm not a
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: physicist nor a DARPA scientist or whatever, does not mean well,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you gotta go to space aliens the next step.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: That's well, if if the professional you know, commentator can't
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: nail down what it is, it must be space aliens. No,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: maybe it's some ability to distort and deceive radar systems
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and you know, whatever other technologies the jet fighters use
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and that sort of thing.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: But God, we should have dug up the best of
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live when she gets, you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: probed by the aliens, and she'd always pass funny joke. Oh,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: they had me strapped up and they looked me over
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: from my cooder to my tutor before they let me
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: back down.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Sure, one hundred and five euphemisms for the female parts,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: just absolutely hilarious.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Hey, remember when the guy told everybody to storm Area
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: fifty one online and they took.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Him serious and ended it was just a party outside
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: everyone every fifty one on gates.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good time.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess that's it.
