  Speaker 1: You're list Saints kp I AM six forty.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: The Bill Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Bill Handle here, Good morning. It is a Friday morning,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Foody Friday. Ask handle anything. The war in Iran continues,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and it looks like the United States no surprise here,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: it happens, often underestimated what Iran could do, especially with
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: this trait of horror moves and a couple of terrorist attacks.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Yesterday that well, it ended up being okay, except one
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: person unfortunately was killed and the driver and that we
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: have one terrorist attack as well as the other terrorist, both.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Completely dead, which is always good news.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, yesterday there was a hearing in front of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: state There were two state Senate Public Safety and Transportation committees,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: both of them, and they had in front of them
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the head of the DMV Director, Steve Gordon. And this
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: was all spurred on by a cal Matters investigation into
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: California's approach to deadly drivers. The man in charge of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the DMV had to face finally tough questions about what
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the DMV is going to do is doing to increase
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to address an increase in road deaths in recent years.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you how oh how cooperative he was.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So Steve Gordon told lawmakers he didn't know if his
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: agency had the ability to speed up license suspensions. He
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: didn't know if he could get data for lawmakers on
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: how often the agency takes action against dangerous drivers.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He didn't know the actual numbers.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The DMV did provide cal Matters some numbers last week,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and what it did show is that the DMV rarely
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: investigates motorists who get in crashes, even killing people or
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: seriously injure them. Gordon, however, did assure the lammakers at
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: various times that the seeming lack of details or even
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a direct response to their questions were well, here's what
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: his answer was. DMV's operations are complex. It's very inside baseball.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The questions you're asking, it's extremely nuanced. I can follow
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: up in detail with your office. Well, it turns out
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that California has some of the weakest DUI laws in
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the United States, and this investigation routinely shows that California
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: routinely allows drivers with I mean absolutely horrifying histories to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: continue to get behind the wheel where they go on
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to kill At a court and the courts across the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: state don't report failed to report vehicular homicide convictions to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the DMV, and there have been a dozen road safety
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: bills legislatures are addressing and have introduced this session.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: This hearing was close to four hours.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And the lawmakers talked to road road safety experts, legal experts,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a judge, a police chief, a prosecutor, a defense attorney,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and an advocate with mothers against drunk drivers who actually
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: whose son was killed but the senator saved they're really
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: pointed questions to Gordon, the director of the DMV. One
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: senator wanted to know how drivers with fifteen offenses can
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: keep their licenses. Another senator question why the agency can
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: move quickly on things like road tolls right on top
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of that one, but puts up a wall on potential
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: life saving measures, for example expanding on in car breathalyzers
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to block drunk driving. Those are not that common. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the bottom line is the DMV, when it feels it's important,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: can act quickly. The problem is they don't. Gordon avoided
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: talking about the issue in nearly a year, and this
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is since the series was launched by cal Matters. Repeated
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: interviews declined to the interviews showed absolutely no signs publicly
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that is a top priority.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is now.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: He dodged questions about the DMV's work involving juggling multiple
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: antiquated technology systems, and he even admitted when he first
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: came in as head of the DMV driver Safety that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: division was not his first priority. He was appointed by
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Governor Newsom and nineteen and he goes, I'll admit that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: wasn't the first team we attacked driver's safety because we
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: were worried about lines and real ID and a bunch
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of other things that were occurring. This was for public consumption.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Of course, in the three years since, the department has
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: begun to update the process, but there's still much more
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to do now. State law says that the DMV may
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: conduct an investigation, not shall after a fatal crash. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: why the department told cal Matters it opened only around
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: three thousand, three hundred negligent operator cases from twenty twenty
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: two through twenty twenty four.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And here is a stat that is stunning.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: State data shows nearly fifty five thousand fatal or serious
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: injury crashes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: How's that for a number? Huh?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And in the hearing, horror stories came out NAPA District
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Attorney recounted a re in case where a driver had
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: thirteen DUIs and another a driver killed two people but
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: served the same sentence as if he killed one, because
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that's an added enhancement when you kill more. And then,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: in a quote that I found very strange, said, this
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: isn't Costco. We don't want a system where you can
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: kill one person and kill another person or more for free.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: When does Costco gives you anything for free? Well maybe
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: those you know, the samples, Maybe that's free. Anyway, this
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: is a tough one drunk driving, and I've always felt
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: really strongly California should go from a state that is
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: enforces drunk driving has the weakest drunk driving laws.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: To the other side.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, as I promised, I'm doing a story now proof
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: positive that Amy has absolutely no life, as well as
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Aaron Wagner in Chicago. And what do the three of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: them or the two of them do, Well, they visit
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Shadow and Jackie nearly every day for hours.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I got them up right now.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Exactly that is my point. No life, Amy, you bet? Now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they both follow the birds home. They both probably cook
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: dinner and are looking at the birds. Well, what Aaron said,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: we live in such a busy world. Things are always
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: being thrown at our face. I mean Amy, as does
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the news. So sometimes it's just nice to have a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: gentle reminder of nature and what else is out there
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: in the world that is completely vomitous. And both of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: them are devoted fans. The Eagles had the highest view
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: count of any year round nature live stream on YouTube
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: between last five and this spring.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And this is science, by the way, and that's.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: When there's not even any chicks in the nest.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: That is exactly the point. And this is part I'm
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: gonna throw some figures at you too that are kind
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of kind of stunning, showing that there are a lot
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of people that join Amy in the I Have No
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Life club. This is part of a broader trend surging
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: interests in webcams that broadcast nature minute by minute.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And here is something I'm throwing at you.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The number of twenty four to seven live streams created
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: per year went up about three thousand percent betwenty between
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty. This is called slow TV
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and it all started in two thousand and nine. There
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: was a Norwegian broadcast of a seven hour train trip boy.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That sounds like fun. You bet youa.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I've watched that bill, of course you have.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: There are other programs for hours and hours, for example,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: chopping firewood knitting is a big one, and nature is
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: very large, and nature is the biggest ones. Millions tune
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: into Sweden's live coverage of the annual moose migration.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: That's very big.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Also the seasonal broadcast of bears chowing down on salmon
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in Alaska, because that goes on for days.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Great fun and why is that happening?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Well, quick camera cuts, soundbites, headlines that are really a drag.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So Mother Nature, what lovely rhythms offering instant transportation to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the wild? Now, as Amy will tell you, following Jackie
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: in Shadow takes patience. Why because if they're not hanging
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: out of the nests, and that takes a long time.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: When they are hanging out of the nest, nothing happens.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It's a waiting game. And even when they're there, I mean,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot going on.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Entertainment, according to a media manager for Friends of Big
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Bear Valley Boy, Yeah, no one is biased on that one.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Entertainment can be very artificial, very packaged. It can be
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: very short. This is long and slow and calm. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Nature's unpredictable. And that's another draw because this season alone
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: brought plenty of drama from Shadow and Boxer. Yeah exactly,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I already forgot their names and I just mentioned it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Thirty seconds ago. There was losing their eggs to ravens.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Did you see that, I mean, actually losing their eggs
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to ravens.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, of course you did.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: And I didn't stay alive. I thought it played.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Back, okay, and was there commentary, Hey, here comes some ravens.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: What do you think, George, Well, they're moving pretty quickly
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and there's no question. Oh look at that, look at that,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: cause they made.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: This is nothing new.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: You remember mutual of omaha and watching these things and
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: probably goes out more than anybody else on the show.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: This goes on for days now.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Research actually does give Amy some credit, because people who
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: watch Nature live streams report a host of benefits, uplifted
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: mood to relaxation. They also do step specify that they're
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: never going to get laid again because they're so busy
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: watching these ridiculous videos.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Fly like an eagle.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, So someone might comment they had a bad day
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and they're glad to be watching their favorite birds again,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and another viewer will rally to support them. This is Amy,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I'm describing this woman. Friends of Big
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Bear Valley one point two million followers on Facebook and
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: fans share their thoughts. It's a community, sort of a
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: community center. Engage with one another. Do you talk to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: anybody else that's an eagle lover?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Amy? Are you into the communication with others?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: No. We used to talk to Sandy Steers a lot
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: to get updates on the eagles, but I don't join
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: in the conversations in the Facebook.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You're too busy watching the eagles. Oh I'd love to talk.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Does this show get in the way of you watching
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: those eagles? You know?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Our old news director Chris Little came into me one
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: time and stead, Amy, you got to turn that camera off.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe it. I absolutely believe it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, but look how beautiful they are?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Oh God?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: And you know what, it's very calming.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Well until something happens and one of the chicks dies
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: or something like that, then it's devastating.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: But just watching them up there, it's beautiful.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, great life, all right, coming up. I'm gonna
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: get your life. Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: No, coming up, I'm going to give you some Eagle
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: recipes that are that work very well.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, to do a test, have you watched the Eagles
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: for a week straight, and see if you become a
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: nicer person.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: If I watch the Eagles for ten minutes, I will
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: have killed myself.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So we don't have to worry about the week. All right.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: I never watched the Eagles.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: No, I've never watched you've I have never turned on
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the Eagles. As a matter of fact, what I'm told
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: about the Eagles, I say, Philadelphia, how do you think
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: they're doing this year?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: That's my conversation.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, coming up Foody Friday, and that's at eight o'clock
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: off the top of the hour.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Actually, and some of the stories we're looking at.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: The war still continues on Pete Hegseth this morning admitted
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: that the US underestimated what Iran could do. Even though
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the President has said we have won the war. The
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: first hour when the war started was when we won it.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And all you have to do is look at what's happening.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And maybe we have different definitions of we have won
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the war. Don't quite know the answer. Oh when prices
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: are down. I forgot to tell you that too. Go
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to a gas station and fill up your tank and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you'll look at the amount of money that it's going
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to cost you and you're going to go Yep, prices
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: are down, no question about it, all right. As a
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: result of what was happening in the Mideast, people want out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I mean they are desperate.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: There are thousands upon thousands of Americans both working in
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the Mid East as well as traveling to visiting, as
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: well as transiting. I mean they're there and got stuck.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So the demand and no.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Surprise here, for charter flights coming out of the Mideast
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: has surged, and those who can afford it, you know,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: maybe people can afford it, can't afford it anymore.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The war.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: The war began February twenty eighth, and right now it's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the biggest disruption to air travel across the Gulf region
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: since COVID and commercial airline operations, as you know, totally disrupted.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Airspace has closed down, and demand for private charter has increased,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: oh big time in recent days.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: No surprise there too.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Commercial airline schedules across that region have become limited, unreliable,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: nonexistent and tens of thousands of travelers have been stranded.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Now some airlines are reopening a limited number.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Of routes, but not enough. So how do you sort
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of guarantee you're going to get out of the Mid East?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you charter a plane. That's what you do. Now,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: how expensive is chartering a plane? Well, let's start with
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: not very many people can afford it. For example, chartering
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a plane from let's say Van Eyes to Las Vegas
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: is and that's a forty minute flight. That's six to
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars and you have to pay for the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: return leg too, so it's a double hit. And let
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: me give you a couple of figures. There is one company,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and this is a company that has been dealing with
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Mid East mid East charters for many years. One flight
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: saw a group of twelve people and their dog went
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: from Muskat, which is I think the capital.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Of Oman to Turkey.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: It's a five hour flight, one hundred and forty five
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars that's all for twelve people.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Don't forget the dog.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Normally the cost is sixty thousand dollars one hundred and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: forty two percent increase and Istan bull has been the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: most popular destination because it is the closest safe city.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Oh man, that's absolutely the way to way to fly
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: if you ever have a chance to fly on a
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: private jet. I was very, very lucky when I was
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. I don't know
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: ten years ago, give or take the president, the CEO
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: of iHeartMedia, Bob Pittman, actually allowed me to fly on
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the corporate plane and he sent the corporate jet to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: pick us up. Neil was with us and went to Chicago, La,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: to Chicago And when you came back on the same plane,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: you're done flying? What Yeah, you're done flying? I mean
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you are done flying, just completely done. I was before that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I was on one plane to Las Vegas and I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: just somehow got aboard the plane. They were taking some executives,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and it was literally you drive up to the foot
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of the planes like the President.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: You drive up to the foot of the plane.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: The stairs are there. You're three feet away from the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: door of the car. You walk up the stairs and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: then you buckle in. And I figured, and the pilot
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: comes back and he is going to tell us about
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: buckling seat belts, and he's gonna tell us about emergency exits,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: although it's kind of easy to see in a small plane.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And then the oxygen masks coming down the normal you know,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: he takes us two fingers, points it at you, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: then points it to the doors when he says, those
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: are the exits.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: The only thing the pilot said.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: That's that one thing the pilot said, tell us when
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you're ready to go, mister Handel.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: That was the conversation. It destroys you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what people are doing, and they have tons
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of money. I mean in the hundreds of thousands of
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: dollars that takes to fly out of there. And the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: only reason I'm bringing that up is to get you
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: all depressed, because I like it when you're depressed. You know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: that's the whole point of the show.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: There is a story that I have to share with you,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and I love this. There's a high ranking retired Air
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Force major general who commanded a base that was long
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: associated with the UFOs. He's missing for nearly two weeks.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Authorities are appealing to the public for help in finding him,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: and the announcement was made both in Spanish and English
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and Venusian to make sure that the proper folks got
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the news. Thank you for not Lindsey in here, who
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: is just shaking her head.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Air Force. Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland. And
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this was Albuquerque, New Mexico.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: And he just left left his house eleven o'clock in
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: the morning on February twenty seven. Has not been in
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: contact with family or friends. His cell phone was left behind,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and the Sheriff's office issued a silver alert and that's
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: for it's basically an amber alert for people over fifty. Also,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: he has an unspecified medical issue that needs added urgency
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to the search. And they have gone to the neighborhood
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: and they're canvassing, interviews and coordinated operations. More than six
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: hundred homeowners in the area have been contacted. He's described
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: as an avid outsto outdoorsman who hikes, runs and cycles
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: in Albuquerque and in the Sandia Mountains the foothills. And
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: he is by the way, it's not just UFOs. This
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: is the real guy. This is not some crazy ass
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: caller on the George Norrich Show, not at all. First
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: of all, he's an astronautical engineer degrees from the US
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Air Force Academy mit the John F. Kennedy School of
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Government at Harvard, Chief Engineer at the Department of Defense,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the Global Positioning System Program Program, Director of the Space
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Based Laser Project Office, Director of Special Programs of the Pentagon,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and he commanded the Air Force Research Lab at Wright
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Patterson Air Force Base, the very Air Force base that
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: is housing extraterrestrial debris linked to Roswell. Okay, there we go.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: And following his retirement, he worked with the Stars Ink
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: or to the Stars, Inc. A company he co founded
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: by Tom DeLong, the Blink one two musician. The two
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of them work together and it studies information about unidentified
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: aerial phenomena.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: And so the fear is, of.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Course that either he has left and they're going to
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: find him somewhere in the mountains, or they'll never find
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: him again until the extraterrestrial lands back on Earth many
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: many years from now and deposits he'll probably be alive
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: because the technology there are so great. One of the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: reasons why this is such a story is because he
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and his position and how serious his position is.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, as I said, is the real deal.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: And this happens to be right after the President issued
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a directive to release all the governmental information on UFOs,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: all those secret files, and then all of a sudden,
