• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not an exorcist.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It's one more thing. Oh my god, that's right, an
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: original Star Trek reference. Take it. You gotta sit there
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and take it. Oh I love track Doctor Bones McCoy, Yeah,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that's right, Bones, the Great DeForest Kelly, Yes, yes, oh track.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So it was damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: an exorcist.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Exorcist, that's correct. But first let me reminisce Gladys. There
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: was my undergraduate days in the Great Plains of Illinois.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Of a Sunday night when the studying was done, if
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: any studying was done at all, I would get together
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: with quite a few of the fellas in a friend
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Mike's room, and we would get to quote the great
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Bill Murray in a contemporary film of the time, Stone
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to the Bejesus Belt, and watch the original Star t
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I can just laugh at it. Oh my god, so
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: much fun. Anyway, I had to watch some track just
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to bring them back to those those good times. Anyway.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Uh So, the point that television had its upsides, oh
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. The everybody watches it whenever, or you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: watch all the episodes at once or whatever. It's more convenient,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: but it's it'll, like everything else in the modern world,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it lost its social cohesiveness.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I used to rant back in the nineties as
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: my kids were grown up, and both my wife and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I just loved the Christmas specials, the Rudolph's Red Nose, Reindeer,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Santa Claus Coming to Town, all those and and then
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: they became available on videotape and you'd buy them or whatever,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and you can watch them anytime you want, or watch them,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, three times in a row on a June day,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And and I realized that we had lost a rhythm
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of the seasons and the days and the various high
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: points that come in a year when everything's available all
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the time. I understand the advantage of it. I'm not
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: sure we realized what we lost anyway. Yeah, appointment TV ah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: good stuff.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: So J d.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Vant said this the Benny Show not terribly long ago,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and we were marked on it a little bit but
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: didn't talk about it much.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I'm obsessed with this. I've already had a couple of
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: space on Area fifty one. We're going out to New Mexico.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: We're just sort of get to the bottom of this.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And then the timing of the trip just didn't work out.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: But trust me, anybody who's curious about this, I'm more
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: curious than anybody, and I've got three years of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: very tippy top of the classification. I'm gonna get to
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the bottom of it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think there are aliens. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: think they're demons anyway. But that's a longer discussion. WHOA.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So there's a guy who Yale Law School, Marbaro Law School,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: one of those who says, I'm going to get to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the bottom of this about Area fifty one in aliens
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: with a straight face.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But they're not aliens, they're demons. But that's a longer discussion.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, that makes it crazier, not less crazy, does it?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Does it well? I came across this story. I've heard
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: no coverage of it whatsoever. At the end of last week,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the Archbishop of Washington, d C. Removed a longtime archdiocesan exorcist,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: saying his recent comments about UFOs being demons gravely undermined
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: church teachings. This month's Senior Stephen Rossetti, is a priest
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and psychologist who's held prominent positions in the Archdiocese of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Washington d C. For decades. Absolutely a sort of guy,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the sort of guy who fairly recent Catholic convert JD.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Vance would get to know as the sitting VP.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So you went by something that maybe everybody knew but me,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that the Catholic Church has exorcists.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's not like in the movies, but yeah
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it's four Let me, what do you do with them? Actually?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What does a position entail? How does it pay?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: The benef Catholics frame struggling wrongdoing is the spiritual war
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: between good, evil and good. The center offers the center
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that part of offers information about exorcisms, which are considered
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: sacramental rights. According to material posted on the archdiocesan website
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: oh BAH, citing Catholic teaching, the website defines exorcism as
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: quote when the Church asks publicly and authoritatively, in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ, that a person or object be
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: protected against the power of the evil One and withdraw
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: from his dominion, out demon out anyway to the the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: UFO thing. Though, so, this guy was had had important
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: positions in that diocese for years, listed as a Catholic
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: university professor, served as chaplain for the Washington nationals hey
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: baa baa hey bara and leads this St. Michael Center
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for Spiritual Renewal, which does exorcist it anyway. So in
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a statement last week, Cardinal Robert McElroy, the archbishop, said
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: that Rosetti was being removed as an exorcist and the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: archdiocese was severing its connection to the Saint Michael Center.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: McElroy said his statement statements Rosetti made about UFOs. Such statements,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the Cardinal said, gravely undermined the church's very precise teaching
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: on the devil, demons and exorcism the two days prior
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to this, So this was like a The archbishop found
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: out and said he's fired. Immediately. He was on the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: YouTube show This Rosetti Fellow Faith, Hope and Love Ministry
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to talk about what the program characterized as aliens or demons,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and Rosetti said on the show, demons like to hide.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: They don't want us to know what they're doing because
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: they're more effective when we don't realize it. Demons can
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: break into the physical world, take this shape of shadows
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: or possessed houses or ghosts that someone might contact via
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a medium. All of that connects us with the dark world.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. All that connects us with the dark world
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: is a portal, and the Bible in the church warn
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: us against this. There's no question in my mind personally
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that probably many, if not most, of these UFO sightings
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: are demons, and they do things we can't do. Thus
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the speed of like the alleged crafts interesting.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think where I am on this sort
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of thing. Do I believe evil exists? Yes? Who I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: believe in demons? I've never thought about that before breaking
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it down into demons. Do I think the demons do
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: things that are like measurable the way flying aircraft ftar
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: observable on radar? Right? Probably not? Yeah, but I haven't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of time thinking about this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: If jd Vance runs for president, he'll have to answer
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for those comments and either say he was joking or something.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Right now, I don't think he was joking. I think
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was Rosetti.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was either. But that's a pretty
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: out there religious belief, isn't it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Among most people. Yeah, No, there aren't aliens. There are
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: demons flying around that we pick up on radar on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a regular basis. And that's why they can't. We can't
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: explain him their demons. That's that's a pretty out there thought.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Uh. Some people who I know and trust and care
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: about a great deal had friends who were enduring a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: period of their lives where there was a great deal
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of anger and bitterness and sickness in their relationship. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in the account that was told to me many years ago,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: these people invited a clergyman to their home at least
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: one and maybe other friends, and they prayed fervently that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: whatever was going on would stop, and they reported unquestionably
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: what sounds like a supernatural phenomenon of loud whooshing and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: loud noises, just like out of a movie. And when
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that was over, the demon was gone from the relationship
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and they were back to being themselves. Now, you can
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: interpret that anyway you want. I don't tell people how
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: to interpret God or evil or anything. It's on you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But I do. I've got a like a ten point plan.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you how to interpret God. No, So
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was it multiple people reporting the same thing as opposed
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to individual experiences.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I just got the account through the two people I knew. Two.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I can't remember if they were both there but they
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: were the sort of people who are not prone to nuttiness. Right, well,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: my sincere belief.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: For sure, it would be more extraordinary to me if
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: there were two people that experienced the same thing at
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the same time, because I always wonder what the brain
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is capable of, or are psyche or whatever. Because I've
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: told the story before about when the last day that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I almost drank, I'm coming up on twenty years of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: sobriety as an alcoholic, and the last day that I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: almost drank January seven, two thousand and seven, I had
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: walked into a bar and ordered a beer from a guy,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and I was watching myself from above like a camera
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: shot in a movie. And then later that day I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: went to a church and I heard a popping sound
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and the desire to drink left me and is never returned.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So that is like unexplainable to me, as like anything
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: normal in my life. I don't have anything else in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: my life within one thousand miles of the those two
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: things happening to me one day.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: But whether or not that was just like the pressure
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of an addiction psyche something I don't I don't know.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. Maybe you just needed a chiropractor,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that was your spine going.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But if me and someone else had had that same
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: experience at the same time, that would be a completely
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: different thing.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, while there are many cases of not mass but
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: multiple people suffering the same delusion and reinforcing it in
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: each other, it is a horse of a different color
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and two people experience it at the same time or
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: even claim to.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, demons jd vance not or not take your calls. Oh,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: that's right, it's a podcast. He will just ring.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they were going to make a big
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: deal out of George Jilby a bush, you know, citing
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Bible verses throughout his life, a guy talking about demons
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: being spotted by Pilots's got definitely have to explain it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: If he runs for president.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I'd love to talk to him or this monsignor Rosetti
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: about it their beliefs. I'm not threatened by people who
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: believe things I don't or or I don't understand. I'd
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: love to hear. I'd love to hear his point of view.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It was jade Van's always religious and then he converted
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to Catholicism from being religious as a Protestant or is
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: this all new to him because nobody has the fervor
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like the recently converted, as Saint Augustine said, or somebody.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Right, he should mind his own business. I don't recall
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: anything from Hillbilly Elegy about his religious fervor at all,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: but I did then he probably didn't ultimate memory have it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And then he uh converted to Catholicism with his wife,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and he's talked about that a lot, and he's like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: super serious about it now. But that's really interesting stuff.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in extraterrestrials. I believe they're demons, and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get to the bottom of it. Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: please do if you can. That'd be some you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: breaking news. There are demons, right and they fly around.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yikes. Run for your lives or pray or something. Get right,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that's right, Get right with the Lord, or get yourself
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a good exorcist. Go on angi dot com. You can
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: see your neighbors recommendations and certifications and the rest of it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Storm area fifty one. They can't stop all of us.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: With an American Facebook event that took place on September twentieth,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Out do you guys, remember that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, about one hundred and fifty people showed up at
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the entrance and pretended they were going to storm the bell.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It was fun.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, and the authorities looked all worried about it. That
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was just before COVID. It was a more innocent time.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was we need to get more people together.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: If we could get tens of thousands, then it would
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be true. They can't stop all of us.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Oh forgot, what are you.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Gonna get a most down like we're Iranian protesters. No,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: let us see the demons or air ets.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: The bones, show me the bones.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.
