IRH 269: Netanyahu AI Crisis, Missing Air Force General & Iranian Spy Signal

0:00 February 28th, 2026, Within hours of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, a shortwave radio signal begins broadcasting twice daily in Persian random numbers, then a pause, then one word to Vajo, translated in English as attention. Five days later, someone starts jamming it. No government has claimed responsibility for either. That same week of retired Air Force Major General who once commanded Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the facility long rumored the House recovered extraterrestrial materials from Roswell, walks out of his Albuquerque home and vanishes. No phone, no glasses, no wearable devices.

0:43 The FBI is now involved. Investigative journalist Ross Colehart is calling it a grave national security crisis. On Capitol Hill, former military and intelligence officials testified Underoath that the United States is engaged in a secret decades long arm race involving recovered UAP technologies and that a classified program called Immaculate Constellation holds thousands of high resolution images and videos the public has never seen. And somewhere in the middle of an active war, a world leader keeps posting videos to prove he's alive and nobody believes them. All of it happened in the last 10 days. Welcome back to infinite rabbit Hole. What's up everyone?

No things are going well. A lot of stuff going on at work. Dude I am so stoked for the good weather. We got a straight up Blizzard on Sunday that dumped something like 14 inches of snow on us on here in Menominee and now all of it's melted because it was 60° today and tomorrow. Saturday is supposed to be in the 70s and I am freaking stoked dude.

2:52 I showed up from my vacation last night, pulled up, and I was like, I thought it snowed here, man. Yeah. But you guys were gone that long. I thought you were just gone for the weekend. No, no, I, we just showed back up last night, but. Yeah. No, it was. It was so nice the weather today, we are pretty excited for it. No, it was beautiful out today for sure. CJ Weather is pretty good over there. No, no, it's it literally went one day it was 80°, the next day it was 31, then it went down to the day it was 70. It doesn't know what it wants to do. CJ is in eastern Pennsylvania, right? Yeah, yeah. It's not. It's not awesome. Can we get a moment of silence real quick and maybe a silent prayer real fast?

3:33 No. For you must tell us. For what though? Chuck Norris died today. Oh, and yes, yes, for that one. Flags at half mast scrapped the episode. We're going home. Yeah, yeah, it's the moment of silence. Real quick, All right, moment's over. That was pretty sad, man. It actually took God to kill that man. Yeah, I was. I was chatting with my HR Rep at work today who's also a Christian. I was just like, I think that he was like the good Lord had to come down from heaven and ask him if he was time, if it was time to go home. 11 last final Chuck Norris joke. Got to love it.

4:16 It is, it is kind of, it is kind of crazy. I heard that he died from the lava burns because he was in the earth's core restarting it for all of us. So you know, God rest his soul, so appreciate him. It is. It is crazy though because it's like I don't know if you guys like watched like Walker Texas Ranger and stuff as a kid or saw like any of the movies or. No, but I grew up on the memes and that was enough, right? Or. Grew up on the memes. I I knew I knew of the legend because of the stories that were told. Yes, yeah, I. Mean I've seen a couple of the movies and I watched Walker as a kid. My grandfather was in do it when I would be over there. He would we'd watch Walker, Texas Ranger and Star Trek together.

4:57 And yeah, no, it's just weird. If it's like it makes you feel your age, you're like, the last time I remember seeing that guy, he was like 40. Like right. Yeah, and. Then now he's just 86 and dead. Like what happened? Man, his life, I guess. Watch. Watch. The entire world just start crippling. Not not that it isn't already, but like just takes it to the next level now, yeah. Right the the catalyst for World War 3 was the death of Chuck Norris. He was the only one keeping it together. It's been, it's definitely been, it's definitely been rough. Although window season starting and my schedule is booking fast and I'm pretty happy about that so.

5:39 Good stuff man, it's time to make that money. Yeah, yeah. What I like to do is I like to get mad at my boss and call off for the day and then I send him pictures of $100 bills in my lap. That'll teach him. All right, you guys ready to get into our new segment? Yeah, dude. All right, all right, before we get into our main stories tonight, we're going to run through our Quick Hits segment. This is a rapid roundup of the smaller stories from the last 10 days that are worth your attention, even if we don't have time to go deep on them tonight. Let's go. First up, the White House were registered 2 new government domains this week. alien.gov and aliens.gov both went live on Cloudflare servers Tuesday evening, March 18th.

6:25 Neither is connected to a website. Not yet. When Defense Scoop asked the White House what the domains were for, spokeswoman Anna Kelly responded with two words and an alien emoji quote. Stay tuned. This comes about a month after President Trump announced plans to direct the release of U.S. government records on UA, PS and extraterrestrial life. The working theory among disclosure watchers is that these domains will serve as the public facing clearing house for whatever gets declassified. On March 10th, the House Oversight Committee held a joint subcommittee hearing titled Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Exposed in the Truth. Former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo testified underoath that advanced technologies not manufactured by any known government are actively monitoring sensitive military and nuclear installations around the world.

7:16 Tired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet testified that in 2015, a UAP video distributed to naval officers was deleted from their inboxes the very next day without explanation. No one ever discussed it again, and journalist Michael Shellenberger pushed further on a classified program called Immaculate Constellation and unacknowledged Special Access Program that the DoD says doesn't exist. According to whistleblower documents entered into the Congressional Record, it serves as a central repository for UAP intelligence. Thousands of high resolution images and videos collected from satellites, aircraft, and maritime environments, far clearer than anything the public has ever seen. If you want the full background on Immaculate Consolation, we've covered it before.

8:05 But the short version is this. If it's real, it's the most significant UAP program in U.S. history and Congress is being kept in the dark about it. On March 17th, a record setting heat Dome settled over the western United States, described by climate scientist Daniel Swain as the strongest cool season bridge ever recorded in the historical record going back to 1979. And here's where it gets weird. That extreme high pressure drove intense atmospheric gravity waves into the mesosphere, roughly 95 kilometers above the Earth surface. The result was a rare brilliant green air glow that filled the night sky over Colorado. Now, green air glow is a real documented atmospheric phenomenon. It's caused by chemical reactions between oxygen atoms high in the atmosphere.

8:52 But here's the fringe angle. High pressure events like this are constantly reported alongside increased UAP sightings. Atmospheric distortion at the scale can create both visual and acoustic anomalies that are hard to explain. So if you're in Colorado this week and you saw something weird in the sky, there might be a perfectly good scientific explanation. Or there might not be. Canada just released its annual UFO sighting report for 2025 / 1000. Reported sightings across the country, including blinding lights covering orbs, airborne cylinders, and disc shaped objects. Over 1000 sightings in one year in one country. And that's just the ones people actually reported. All right, this one is going to hit different for a lot of people in this community.

9:36 On March 12th, a documentary called Capturing Bigfoot premiered at South by Southwest in Austin, TX. The central claim the 1967 Patterson Gimlin film, the foundational piece of Bigfoot evidence for nearly six decades, was a hoax. Director Mark Evans was given a reel of 16mm film found locked in the safe after the death of Norm Johnson, a man connected to Patterson and Gimlin through his brother, who worked in a Boeing film lab at the time the original footage was made. The reel contains a 42nd from 1966, a year before the Patterson Gimlin film, showing a Bigfoot like figure in a nearly identical setting.

10:17 Evans calls it a dress rehearsal. Patterson's son Clint states his mother privately admitted the film was staged and Bob Hieronymus, the man who has claimed for decades he was the person in the costume, confronts Bob Gimlin on camera for the first time. Here's the thing though. Compelling as it is, the documentary provides 0 scientific verification. No film stock authentication, no lab analysis, no independent chain of custody for that 16mm reel. This is one film makers interpretation of unverified footage backed by decades old family testimony. Disproving the Patterson Gimlin film and disproving Bigfoot are two completely different conversations and as far as I'm concerned this proves nothing yet.

11:01 But if it ever does disprove the PG film, this will be a devastating blow to the communities of Bigfoot researchers and fans alike. Finally, we covered the Ohio Bigfoot flap in our last episode 6 sightings in four days across Portage County. We told you the activity stopped after March 10th with the German Shepherd incident. News flash, it didn't stop. Since we recorded that episode, an eighth high credibility report has come in, this time pushing further SE. In the Mahoning County near Lake Milton, a witness reported a 7 foot reddish brown creature. Different county, different color, which either means the corridor kept moving or there's more than one subject out there.

11:43 The Bigfoot Society's working theory was already a family group. This new report doesn't make that any less plausible. Don't worry, we'll keep attracting it and we'll keep reporting on it. But for now, Jake, CJ, we've got alien.gov, a congressional hearing where people are being warned they might end up on a FISA watch list just for saying the name of classified program. Green lights in the sky over Colorado, 1000 UFO sightings in Canada and Ohio. Bigfoot is apparently still on the move, as well as the documentary about the Patterson Gimlin film. And that's just the quick hits for tonight. Which one of those is sitting with you the most right now? I'm.

12:23 Surprised you didn't talk about the the meteorite that blew out over Ohio. Yeah, So it, it was definitely something that I I read quickly about. But it was, it wasn't really a mystery thing. It was, it was a meteorite. That was it was. Simple. It could have been a missile. No, I'm just kidding. ilikethealiens.gov 1 I actually, yeah, I looked it up and sure enough, it's not linked to any website. It didn't say that the website wasn't didn't exist. It just says that there's no information on that stuff. So that's actually interesting. Kind of goes right into the same conversation we had with Jeff when he introduced us to the anti propulsion, you know, anti Jet Propulsion, anti gravity, whatever engines, things like that. The patent the US government has, it's like, why have a patent for something that can't exist because of physics? Like it's, you know, why have aliens.gov and alien.gov if there's nothing there now, is it? Are they going to put out, you know, things about aliens on there?

13:30 Or is it going to be a bunch of, you know, nonsense or lies or whatever? I don't know. But yeah, it's interesting that they they made those. So those are the things that are kind of pointing out to me or jumping out to me rather. I think the fact that Jeremy thinks he's not already on several lists is hilarious, and also that the Patterson Gimlin crew is the original Furries. That makes me happy. That that does not make me happy, no, that that documentary capturing Bigfoot has caused a huge amount of turmoil in the Bigfoot research community. This story is not going away. I literally brought it up because you cannot turn any corner in social media right now where you come across a Bigfoot page where people are talking about this and it has the Bigfoot community split right down the middle. People are couldn't convince 100% that Patterson Gimlin film is faked.

14:28 And then there's others that are that have seen the film who are like, this proves nothing. And so it's only been shown once at the South by Southwest conference in Texas. Got to wait for it to be seen by more people. But from what I'm hearing, I'm, I'm hearing really mixed reviews and, and really mixed point of views on this. And I have a feeling that this is, I don't know. I have a lot of questions myself. I, if this was something that, you know, this was the, the smoking gun, why didn't this come out at some other time? You know, and everyone's excuse for that question right now is, well, the guy died and someone found it in a, in a safe.

15:12 Well, you know, how much money that would have given somebody else? And what is the benefit of, of holding that from the public? What is like what? What is this about? It doesn't make sense to me and. Then someone was getting blackmailed and that was that was what they were holding on to possibly. We don't know what's going on in their personal lives. I got to I got to see the the documentary. I mean, they they sold, they sold 1 ticket. I'll, I'll buy it when it hits Amazon Prime and I'll I'll give it a watch because I'm curious now, but I'm not putting the Patterson Gimlin film the rest yet, that's for sure. Maybe they've been trying to say that it's fake since forever, you know? Yeah, they've just been digging for a reason since since it came out.

15:58 Well. We'll see. I'm I'm going to watch it open mindedly, right? I mean, if they have some legitimate evidence, then maybe I can change my mind. But I mean, this this I think is this was a topic where I was really close to making this an entire briefing because I really wanted to break it down. I didn't because I know we're going to revisit it again. It's going to happen as as more information comes out, as more people see this, as more opinions get brought to the forefront, as, you know, same thing with the Patterson Gimlin film, people are going to be breaking this down left and right, right. And in the in the age of AI, why is this coming out now? You know, so there's there's a lot of questions to be had and we'll cover it again, but I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that this documentary is out there because this is going to be a huge dividing factor in the Bigfoot community.

16:58 Not not like there isn't already, you know, a dozen different the fighting factors in the Bigfoot community, but this is going to be a major one. I, I've, I've seen a lot of people who I respect highly as as Bigfoot researchers come out and say, hey, this proves that the PG film is, is is a hoax. And then others who are just as reliable say this proves absolutely nothing. Both parties have seen it, seen this documentary and and they're not in agreements. So I'm very curious to see what it what it has. If it does come out that it's a hoax, I'm curious to to see where they got those costumes from. That's the thing that that boggles my mind, man. Like Jake and I, when we that that was the season 1 finale.

17:42 Back when we did seasons episode 15, we covered the Patterson Gimlin film and one of our biggest arguments in the whole thing was it came out what, a year before or two? Years before. The Planets of the Apes. And this was Hollywood's, you know, a, a very high budget movie in Hollywood, and they had to wear clothes because they couldn't hide the seams. You know, costumes of that quality just didn't exist back then. Yeah. So it's, I mean, I'm, I'm curious. Very, very, very curious, I mean. And especially if it is fake like in those are costumes, like going with a female costume with like fully jiggle fizzed breasts on it like that, that would be extremely difficult to make look natural, right?

18:29 It would, it would have made more sense to go with a male costume because it just would have been easier to make look natural. But they they really went the whole 9 yards. There, there's so much about that, that entire video. I mean there there's been forensic breakdowns of the foot stride about how the mid tarsal break in the foot is clearly seen in in the videos. There's been people who went out there in big, bulky Gilly suits trying to move around in the same comfort stride or comfortable stride as as Patty did. And you know, if you've ever seen a video of the Creek bed where this happened in Bluff Creek, it's pebbles and just a multitude of trip hazards. You know, to do that without looking down at your feet in a very heavy large ape suit doesn't seem possible for as if you've seen the entire footed the entire film of the Patterson Gimlin film.

19:32 You know, a lot of people have only seen like a three to five second clip of it, but it's much longer than that. Daddy walked for a while and they they they got her for for a while on on film. I mean there's multiple angles of this thing from, you know, the backside where you can see the mid tarsal break the the hand swing. I mean, I I just don't see it. It didn't look down once, man, and that that just scream. Something is comfortable out in the woods where it is like humans. We can't do that. We can't do that when we're, most of us can't even do it butt naked, you know? Let's go back to this thing with the lists. Like, what makes you think after all the conversations we've had and all the projects we've talked about and the people we associate with, that we're not already on lists?

20:19 I know, that's why I use AVPN. I mean why not? Is there? AVPN running on your phone right now at all times. What has there always been? Always since that was born. Jake actually does use a VPN. Jake has talked about a possible. Spot he listens to your conversations too though, not just through the Internet connection though, so VPN wouldn't keep wouldn't hide you from that. No, it's really just for searches. I don't want your service. I don't. I don't have a VPN for the thought that the governments watching me because I know that that's regardless. I mean the average person driving through a city gets photographed like 200 times like it's if it.

20:59 If it's got a microphone, it's attached to the government. That's right. I'm convinced the the only reason why I use a VPN is because of not wanting to. Like, I don't know how the Wi-Fi is monitored at work or in free Wi-Fi and coffee shops or now at the grocery store. I don't want to open up my banking app and then have some issues where someone's like scamming or skimming money out of my account, right? Because I've dealt with fraud in the past. So me and Whitney got Aura to try to cut down on some of these scam phone calls, scam text messages, emails, you know, all these sorts of things. And with it came a VPN. So I just use that. But it does get in the way. Like if you're trying to use your GPS for stuff, it'll get in the way for that.

21:43 And then also because oftentimes it'll be like LA and I'm in Wisconsin, so it'll mess with like apps and things like that. So sometimes you got to turn it off and everything, but for the most part I try to keep a VPN running just because I'm, I've dealt with fraudulent activity on my account like 3 times and I'm so sick of it. So it's like, you know, now sometimes I can't be helped. If you're going to, you know, run your debit card at a 711, there's no telling whether or not you're, you're, you know, running it through a skimming device that's sitting on top of the actual card reader. Because I've seen videos all over YouTube of people finding that stuff out, you know, pull the thing off and the cashier acts like it's the first time they've ever seen that.

22:24 Like, oh weird. You know, it's like so you know, it can't always be helped, but for the most part, you know, I, I don't want to you're. More likely to get somebody skimming you as they walk past you than they are through those devices. Right, you know, since everyone's got, you know, the chips on their phone for tap to pay and or chips on their their cards for tap to pay. Someone could go by Even, but even. Before those chips, they were able to read the magnetic strips through your pocket with devices and stuff as they walk past you. That's that's been a thing for a long, long time. Yeah, but anyway, so whatever I can do. But yeah, I, I know or I, I know that most people are on lists that don't look up weird stuff. I also don't think.

23:04 VPN is saving you from the government at the end of the day. Maybe it maybe it'll save you from the FBI, but like, not like the government. You know, it's pronounced government. Government, that's why you got to get. I don't think it's. Saving you what? What's it the those phones that Sean Ryan throws around on his podcast where mobile where you can no, you can, you can brick the phone so you can be like police are like, what's the code? And you're like, it's, you know, 1123 and they type it in and it bricks the phone and wipes the memory work amendment protection. They just. Look up at you like you motherfucker. All right.

23:45 You guys ready to roll? Yeah, I'm ready. All right. Get into our first briefing. It is February 28th, 2026. the United States and Israel have just launched joint strikes on Iran. The world is watching. And somewhere in Europe, within hours of the first missiles hitting their targets, A shortwave radio signal comes to life. Twice a day, like clockwork, early morning and early evening, Coordinated Universal Time, a man's voice speaking Persian, reading out a series of apparently random numbers. And then pause. And then one word repeated 3 times. Tavosia, tavosia, tavosia. Attention, attention, attention. And then it starts again.

24:26 This is what's called a number station, and if you've never heard of one, here's the quick version. Number stations are a Cold War era espionage tool. Intelligence agencies would broadcast coded messages over shortwave radio frequencies, strings of numbers that could be received by anyone with a shortwave radio, but only decoded by someone in possession of a one time pad, a physical decoder. No Internet, no cellular network, no digital trail. The concept is elegant in its simplicity. Anyone can hear the transmission. Nobody can decode it without the key, and the broadcaster never has to make direct contact with the recipient. The CIA used it, the KGB use them, British intelligence use them.

25:14 During the Cold War, shortwave bands were full of these signals, mysterious voices reading numbers and dozens of languages all hours of the day and night. And then gradually, they faded. Modern encryption made them largely obsolete. Until February 28th, 2026, the global community of amateur radio enthusiasts, there are a lot of them tracking shortwave frequencies around the clock, immediately flagged a signal. They named it V32A new Farsi language number station, the first detected in years. Pairing within hours of the opening salvo of a shooting war, the monitoring community got to work. They triangulated the signals origin narrowing down to somewhere in Central Europe, Northern Italy, Switzerland, West Germany, Eastern France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

26:01 And what a mass to be a significant geographic traffic footprint. But it immediately narrowed the list of candidates. A transmission originating in Central Europe, broadcasting in Persian, timed to AUS Israeli military strike on Iran. Five days later it got a little bit more interesting. Beginning March 4th, the signal started being jammed. A specific type of interference called a bubble jammer. A pulsing, bubbling noise broadcast on the same frequency to make the numbers impossible to hear. And here's where it gets strange. That exact same type of bubble jammer has long been associated with Iran's own efforts to block outside broadcasts. Radio Farda, BBC, Farsi.

26:44 Persian language services that Tehran has spent years trying to silence. So either Iran is jamming a signal it created, which makes no sense, or someone else is using Iran's own jamming tools against a transmission that Tehran doesn't want reaching its intended recipients. Then, on March 9th, ABC News reported that the US government had sent a federal alert to law enforcement agencies. The alert cited preliminary signals analysis of a transmission of likely Iranian origin relayed across multiple countries shortly after the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The alert warned it could serve as an operational trigger for sleeper assets positioned outside Iran. People already in place, waiting for instructions, receiving them not through WhatsApp or encrypted apps, but through a shortwave radio signal that no one can trace, no one can intercept, and almost no one is paying attention to. Now who is actually behind V 32?

27:47 That's where it gets a little complicated. Former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer Jonathan Hackett, who held positions at both the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, told the National that it would not make sense for Iran to operate this kind of station. His assessment is that the transmission more likely originates from the US or Israel, designed to activate or protect assets inside Iran during the opening phase of the war. Other analysts point out that the CIA and Mossad both have far more sophisticated and discreet methods of communicating with assets than launching a new shortwave number station in 2026, which raises the possibility that this is a psychological operation. A deliberate visible signal launched at a deliberately visible moment.

28:37 It designed to create uncertainty. Is it Iran activating sleeper cells abroad? Is it US or Israel running assets inside Iran? Is it a SIOP designed to make Iran or the public believe something is being communicated when nothing really is? Nobody knows. No government has claimed it, no government has denied it. The signal is still broadcasting, the jamming still continues. And somewhere out there, someone has a one time pad that tells them exactly what those numbers mean. So, Jake, CJ, Cold War spycraft in the middle of 2026 shooting war, A signal nobody can decode, being jammed with tools associated with Iranian censorship.

29:20 Who do you think is behind it? 4 Chan Troll. Jeez, OK. I don't know. I think that I don't think anything is off the table as far as how communication is handled. Like, I mean, Iran or Iran, Israel drops leaflets to the places they're about to bomb before and Iran before they do it so that civilians can read them and get get out of dodge, right? So I don't think that there's any form of communication that's really off the table when it comes to a wartime type event because I mean, power could be knocked out, you know, all kinds of stuff. And the only thing that could be around is shortwave radio broadcasts and things.

30:03 I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. If it's being jammed by Iran or seems like it's being jammed by Iran, then I would have to assume it's coming from elsewhere to alert, you know, maybe we have we or, or Mossad. Maybe, you know, the collective. We have spies there in the government that need to know when we're about to bomb the crap out of a building full of government officials, right type stuff. I think it'd be pretty important to let your people know to, to get the heck out of there before we drop a Frick fucking bunker Buster on a, on a building, right? So, and if it can't be tracked and it can't be, you know, it can't be uncovered as to where the source is coming from. And someone could simply turn tune a shortwave radio onto the frequency to hear it.

30:54 Then it's less likely that someone's going to be caught with any sort of information tying them to the source and then be executed for it because as we've seen from that area, they're pretty, pretty prone to just killing people Willy nilly. So, I mean, just happened a couple days ago. So, yeah, I, I would be more likely to believe that that is coming from our side of whether that's actually the United States or one of our allies. And then it would make sense for our side to then say, like, I've no idea what that's from, you know, because we wouldn't want our assets in that country or the surrounding countries to get caught with that and then be exposed, right? Because if, if say, I don't know, say Iran found out that the the numbers were coming from the United States and they were a secret code for movements and things like that. And then they caught one of our assets listening in. It might tip them off that this person's a spy and and thus, you know, need to be taken out.

32:01 So that's where I'm kind of sitting with it. But I could be dead wrong because I have no idea. First I'm hearing about it. I thought this was really important to include in tonight's episode because of the nature of shortwave radios, right? Shortwave radios were were used in these these messaging systems because because of their they're not perfect at this, but their ability to withstand EM. PS they're they can they can survive an EMP blast. They also can get fried as well. But they basically where electronics now are solid-state electronics. OK, where we we use transistors and all kinds of little components right that get easily fried by over current shortwave radios are made with their vacuum tubes. OK.

33:00 So it's it's a much different form of transmission than what we use today. Anything that we use modern technology wise is going to get fried in the in the case of an EMP and for those of that know anything about Emps, this has to deal with nuclear weaponry, atomic weaponry. OK. I see this as as a fail safe, right? This is this is something that's put in place in case of something happened happening on the nuclear scale in the hope that there is a important message that gets put out if a nuclear weapon were to go off in the area. I don't necessarily when I when I first read this as the first thing that popped into my head.

33:50 I've, I've read a few things on Cold War tactics and the whole reason why they started using the shortwave radios was specifically because of the threat of nuclear weaponry and the hopes that certain messages could survive that kind of attack. And that's what this seems like. It doesn't necessarily seem like it's really anybody putting out. I, I, I don't buy the sleeper cell thing with this specific signal. It does seem like it's possibly being originated by AUS or an Israeli source to get information out to somebody in Iran that they may need to contact in case of a nuclear weapon deployment.

34:37 Don't get me wrong, I definitely believe that they're sleeper cells. I just don't think that this is what is it it. It's not how they're communicating. I believe that there's more reliable ways of communicating with sleeper cells in modern times than a shortwave radio. Well, I mean, as far as that goes, if it was for sleeper agents or, you know, terrorists that were here in the interior of the United States or the interior of Israel. I mean, everything that the supreme leader says is broadcasted worldwide. You know, the new one of the day, essentially, right as it as it's going for for right now, even in the written form, because apparently the the new supreme leader, the son of can't pronounce his name, Kellamini is, is the one who's running it, but he's hidden away in a bunker apparently.

35:28 And so he just, you know, has been writing notes and stuff like that, but that's been on every news station. He could literally just be like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Everything is everything is OK, I'm alive and well do it. And then in just in the middle of the thing. And then every single news station would run that and, you know, regardless of where they're at, whether it's Albuquerque, NM, or, you know, New York, NY, or, you know, Spokane, WA, in the matter of minutes, everyone would be alerted that he just said do it. And that's the code word. So they wouldn't need some like CB radio broadcast to, to put any information out, you know, because everything that that they're putting out is being broadcasted everywhere because everyone wants to know what's going on with the war and what the new Supreme Leader is saying, right?

36:18 And what's our response to it? So it it would be absolutely unnecessary to do that. So. For people who don't know, how hard would it be to obtain a shortwave radio as just a regular civilian? I have one. Yeah. Not, not hard. Okay, so. Online, I'm gonna go with four. Central those missiles went off and someone went. Now is my chance to confuse everybody and just babbled some fucking gibberish, created his own SIOP and is now laughing because everybody focused on it and went, oh, look, and that none of these government, everybody, all these governments are standing here. Let's look at spider Man meme where meme where they're all put up each other and it really isn't any of them.

37:00 And now they're like they're jamming the signal and they're all focusing resources on that. There's some that guy and his mom's base and. CJ slapping his on his hand. I'm in my fiance's basement, I'll have you know. And my Queen? But but, you know, like it really. Like, if you think of the nature of these Internet trolls, right, how hard would it be for them to go, now's my chance, And then just really just put out some gibberish just to see if they could stir the pot. I won't discount it. I won't. I I think it's a honestly, it's hilarious, but at the same time, I think it's it's a valid possibility.

37:44 I do. I agree, at least that they're. Already they're blowing this stuff up over here. Let's see if we can get them to blow some more stuff up. I don't think the only thing is that I don't think we would have seen the reaction from the US government on the sleeper cell side of things if it originated from a 4 Chan and I think that it it definitely could have. No, Why not? Why not? If it's a if it's, it's a shortwave radio, it's not connected to the Internet, right? So correct. So why not that it it comes out, it's it's just some guy with a radio, right? And he just saw his chants and he's and he's just putting this shit out there. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. And he's babbling in Farsi because it's the evil language right now, right? Yeah, so and he says one word, I can look up one word on Google instantly.

38:29 Well, I can do it on Apple Translate. That doesn't even need an Internet connection, right. So you just look up one word, right? And then and then bat rattle off some numbers. And now the US is. And then Toyota at the end of it. That's what I'm saying. Like, like, yeah, the US immediately. Oh my God. Oh, my God. And then, yeah, Right. And then Iran's like, Oh my God, jam it. And then everyone else is like, nobody knows what this is because it's nothing. It's some guy who wanted to divert resources. He wanted to stir the pot. Now he's laughing. I I won't dismiss it, I think, I think it's a possibility. I don't think it's the best answer, but I think it's definitely a possibility. I.

39:12 Feel it's because it's an Occam's razor answer I. Don't think so. I I think in the situation it's it's, it's war tactics is what it is. It's it's a way of keeping a line of communication open in case of a nuclear disaster. And I think I think to me that's the Occam right, Occam's razor answer. It makes more sense for something to be set up proactively instead of reactively. Well, it's an experiment. Why don't one of you guys get on your shortwave radio Babble some nonsense? It sounds like it might be a government code. And then we'll watch to see how many Youtubers start talking. About it, there are so many communities out there, shortwave communities out there. That's that.

39:54 I don't know the insurance and outs of the shortwave community, but I could tell you right now if we did do that, somebody in that community is going to have a 100% foolproof way. Proving that what I'm putting out is bullshit. Problem just rattled off 15 numbers. The problem? Is that I don't have a license for it and you need to have a license for it, so I would be worried about the legality of it. How do they? Find you, they they. Can they can triangulate, but it's a it's not it's very fast. It's, it's a huge area of concern. It, it's, it's not where they can pinpoint you perfectly within 3 miles or whatnot. It's a large, I mean, I, I put that specifically in the, the script that there was a large footprint where it could have landed.

40:39 So if you. Use a voice transformer. If you use a voice transformer, they'll never find you, license or not is what you're saying. I, I think there is ways to do it, but I'm not a shortwave professional. This may, this may be a question for Google man, if you want to bring it up. But I in the in the meantime, let's go ahead and get on the briefing too maybe. And if you guys find anything during that, we'll, we'll revisit. Sound good? Yeah, no, I, I just, I, I bought one with the intention of putting like ACB radio in my truck and stuff. And I've listened in a couple times, but I've never used it because I know that there's some sort of a licensing type thing that you're supposed to do. And it has in the pamphlet, it has the legality of contact in Cuba, which is interesting.

41:22 Yeah, what the? Yeah. All right, moving on, our second story tonight. On the morning of February 27th, 2026, a 68 year old retired Air Force Major General named William Neil Mccaslin walked out of his home in Albuquerque, NM. No phone, no prescription glasses, no wearable devices. He left them all behind. His wife returned home shortly after noon to find him gone. A repairman had last seen him around 10 AM. Surveillance cameras cover both ends of the street. And yet nothing. No confirmed sightings, no contact with family or friends, no explanation.

42:03 That was 3 weeks ago as of tonight and he has not been found. Now people go missing. It happens, and on its own. The disappearance of a 68 year old man with an unspecified medical issue who is an avid hiker in an outdoor in the Albuquerque area might be a tragic but straightforward story, except for who William Neil Mccasland is. Mccasland is a retired two star Air Force general. During his career, he oversaw classified space weapons programs He was the commanding general of the Air Force research laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. If you know your uap history, you just sat up a little straighter.

42:45 Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH is arguably the most significant location in the entire history of UFO lore in the United states. It is home to the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, the hub for all Air Force intelligence analysis of foreign aerospace systems emerging threats. And for decades, it has been at the center of persistent, credible claims that recovered extraterrestrial materials from the 1947 Roswell crash were brought there for study. Deathbed confessions, whistleblower testimony, declassified documents. The lore around Wright Patterson runs deep. And Mccaslin didn't just pass through that base, he ran its research laboratory. He was at the center of some of the most advanced and classified aerospace research the Pentagon has ever were conducted. Former national security analyst Mark van Renenkamp, who worked for the Department of Defense during the Obama administration, described Wright Patterson as, and I'm going to paraphrase this, where all the Super secret research happens, the hub for Air Force intelligence and the place with the most interesting links to both UA PS and Mccaslin himself. Now here's the timing.

44:01 Mccaslin disappeared on February 27th. One day before the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, and just days after President Trump announced on True Social that he was directing the Pentagon and other federal agencies to release government records related to extraterrestrial life and Uaps, investigative journalist Ross Colehart, one of the most modern and common voices in UAP journalism, did not mince words. He called Mccasland disappearance a grave national security crisis for the United States. His assessment is that Mccaslin is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States government in his head. Someone who has known to be mentally and physically fit, Someone who had recently been seen as a sympathetic to public disclosure on Uaps.

44:49 Louise Elizondo, the former Pentagon intelligence officer who became one of the most prominent voices in the disclosure movement, also weighed in. He said he hopes Mccaslin is found safe, but he didn't rule anything out. And he acknowledged that Mccaslin had a, quote, brief association with the UFO community. Mccaslin's wife Susan has been public about the situation. She confirmed that her husband had been experiencing mental fog before he disappeared, a condition she said was the reason he had stepped down from various groups he was involved with. She was also careful to push back on the more extreme theories. She stated clearly that her husband does not have any special knowledge about ET bodies and the debris from the Roswell crash stored at Wright Patterson, and that his disappearance is not a reason for anyone to have targeted him. Authorities have not ruled out foul play, but they have nothing pointing to it either.

45:43 What they do have clothing and hiking boots recovered at his second home in Pagosa Springs, Co. His wallet, revolver and red backpack still unaccounted for. An infrared helicopter search that was defeated by the unseasonably warm spring. The mountains, according to investigators, were lit up like a candle with his signatures. Remember, we just covered that specific topic about Colorado and the green sky. They couldn't differentiate between a person and the rocks. The FBI is involved. Over 600 homeowners in the neighborhood have been contacted. And as of tonight, three weeks after he walked out of his front door, William Neil Mccaslin has not been found. A retired two star general commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson vanished without a trace days before the start of a war and days after a presidential directive to release UAP files. You can decide what that means.

46:45 Jake CJA missing general with ties to the most UAP significant military base in American history, disappears at one of the most significant moments in disclosure history. What's your read on this one? What, Somebody knew something and the government killed him? Shocking. Also, I did look up that thing and about the shortwave radio and perplexity agrees with you and very politely called me a moron. So. What's that? Good. Go fuck yourself, CJ. Perplexity. It's an AI. No, no, no what? What do they agree on? That it's probably a government utilizing equipment for anti nuclear measures and whatever and pretty much said that I was a moron for thinking it's a standard person trying to stir the pot.

47:30 Good. I like perproxity. You and your old timey hat can piss off. But you and your meth lab in the background could piss off too. What meth lab? I see those jugs. I don't know what you're referring to, I'm running a VPN. Oh my God my asthma's acting up so bad. All right, So what do you guys think about this guy's disappearance? Yeah, they killed him. Hillary Clinton did it. That's a fact though I guess.

48:11 C JS next on the list. That sucks. That's fine. We're going to need a new. I wanted that for way longer than you guys can know. Just in time for Jeff to come back. Yeah, that's going to be the new conspiracy. Really. He's coming back soon. No, I don't know. I don't know yet. He is coming back. He's coming back. That's official it. He's coming back. I just don't know when. I just got added to a new list. Yeah, right. It's hard to say. His wife was saying he had some brain fog and wanted to step down because of it. As someone who family member with dementia that stuff can hit really fast. I mean, like, in a matter of weeks, going from like seemingly normal to I get a call at 3:00 in the morning because grandma says she's lost in a parking lot.

49:05 She's calling me on her cell phone. She has no idea where she's at. I called my mom, who's in the same town. Hey, Grandma just said this. She gets up, gets in the car, finds out that grandma's standing in the lobby of her retirement community home, just out of her mind with dementia. You know, it's just like not outside in the lobby. Just has no idea where she's at. We let one of the president for several. Years and he yeah yeah, and he was he was physically fit and. Well, you know, the whole time, so yeah, it was a it's so it's it's hard to say, but this one just disappears. But on. The other side of that I mean.

49:47 People are suck. I spend my time watching a lot of Midwest safety and explore with us and stuff and people will literally just find someone going for a walk and just decide to hit them with their car or murder them and hide their bodies and all kinds of stuff all the time just because people are horrible. So which would be? Not just unfortunate. For the simple fact of loss of life. But it would also be unfortunate if someone that had such high, high knowledge and freaking ties to UA PS and stuff was taken out by some, you know, drunken asshole driving down the road or a you know, or a a wannabe thug just wanting to pop someone just for the heck of it.

50:32 Which would be crazy, but it happens. And then the other side of that is that sometimes people go disappearing because of the information that they know. But I would say in the age of disclosure we're at now, honestly, like things are happening so fast that you could tie Chuck Norris into this stuff if you really wanted to. You could say that, you know, because the family hasn't said, you know, by the time this episode comes out, it probably will have. They will have said heart attack, stroke, whatever it was. But I looked it up today and the family isn't saying what the actual cause of death was, just that there was a medical complication, medical emergency, stuff like that. But someone could literally, you know, be like, well, Chuck Norris had a bunch of movies and he had a bunch of influence right around the time that we started bombing Iran. Like tell me that's not a conspiracy. Like you could tie anything, any event from any person into what's going on right now and make a full blown conspiracy, especially with the popularity of the individual or what they do.

51:36 So there's a lot of things that could have happened. I certainly hope the individual is found and is alive when they're found. You know, that's for sure the most important thing. It's impossible that there's a serial killer who. Takes out people who know things that happen in the government. Then there could be a serial killer who takes out someone who. Doesn't even know that he has ties to the government, but he just found found someone that went out for a jog. Doubling down on Hillary Clinton right now. But he would. But also if you had. That high of a clearance level and you had that much going on in your life, why wouldn't you have some form of private security or government security to go about with you?

52:20 They don't really assign that to a. Lot of officials, right, like it's primarily like the the president, the vice president gets Secret Service and all that they don't do and they get no, no secret yeah, Secret Service goes to certain. Certain levels of Congress, of course. Yeah, right. Right. But like for somebody like that, they wouldn't. No, no, no, not not a 2. Star 4 star, maybe 4 star may get a little bit of Secret Service love, but a two star yeah, they're they're not going to give government resources to. Essentially just like a high-ranking employee, you know, I mean, I mean two star general, that's nothing that's nothing to like, you know, wink an eye at, you know what I mean? Like that's that's pretty serious business, but like it's not as high as would require government funded security. Yeah, I suppose you're right, but also what the? Heck, does the wife think she knows? Like if he's worth anything as far as a secret or a top secret clearance, you're not supposed to tell anybody anything that's outside the need to know.

53:16 Your spouse is outside the need to know. So unless I don't know about that man, if you. Swear me to a secret right now. I'm immediately going to say yes, I will keep this a secret and run upstairs and tell my wife about it. Well, that's why you wouldn't ever be given. See. It's not rocket science. Yeah. Unfortunately, there's. There's things that I had to sign. In the military that I. Still can't talk to my wife about right Ndas. Not saying that I won't ever cuz that the Ndas do have expiration dates on them. Believe the one that actually Jakes wife would probably be very familiar with too.

53:58 I think has a 20 year expiration date on it. So I'm about 8 years away from being able to to scream like a Canary. But you know what they say about about. Secrets between two people, right? You can only keep it if one of them is dead or you have self-control. That too well. Here's the problem. The point, the point is, is that. People are people and. Everybody is like, if you tell somebody a secret, right? If I told you a secret right now, you have somebody you trust with that secret, right? And they have somebody they trust with that secret and they have somebody that you can't really keep secrets like that without killing the person. I have secrets that I've never told anybody. From other people, they.

54:38 They confided in me and I've. Never opened up and told anybody, right? I mean, all of us do the. The point is, it's not that it's impossible for somebody to keep a secret. It's telling people my secrets. CJ, you every chance I get. Anyway. Throws it up on Reddit. 2nd. Everybody's reading it. They're like the channels, Jeremy from Infinite Rabbit Hole. They don't, but but no, it's like it's you can't like sure there are. Those are the cage couple called Socia says right. Ask Socia. It's a search engine of just Jeremy's secrets. Anyway, there we we can keep secrets. I have secrets that I keep for people, right? But that's not necessarily human nature is kind of what I'm getting at, right?

55:31 You can't guarantee, like if I told Jeremy a secret right now and he swore to me to keep it to till the end of time, he'd take it to the grave with him. I'm not with Jeremy 24/7. I can't guarantee that he in fact kept that secret for me. I can't trust that 100%. I can trust as far as I can trust it, but at the end of the day, I can't trust it 100% because I'm not with him 24/7. It's kind of the point that I'm trying to make. You don't know point that I ever truly know that it's that. Keep a secret. For you? Yeah. What? He might. I'm. Going to make is that this lady? That he's married to could have just accidentally told the federal government that he tells her what he does for work.

56:11 Yeah, which would be and then flipping. So if he is found where they're going to. Trap into a cherry black. So what exactly have you been telling your wife about what you do? Or if they whack the wife? If the wife. Disappears too. We know for sure he was black. What I'm saying is like if you were going say, say, Jeremy, Jeremy right now, if I told you a secret, you promised me you were going to keep it, what's the most likely person? If you're not going to keep that secret, who is most likely the person you're going to tell about? Oh, it's, it's absolutely my wife. But. Thank you. No. You gotta there's. OK, A2 star general that has Ndas or the need to know for certain stuff the amount of trouble that person would get in serious prison time. Not just, that's just.

56:56 That I mean, they would. Be up for assassination by their own government. Well, if they if they told traitor depending on some people don't care about that. That's how we. End up with Edward. Snowden. But Snowden wasn't a two star general. I understand that what I'm saying, Snowden still. Snowden was an intelligent. Grunt. I know IA 100% get that, but what? I'm saying is and don't get me wrong, he. He did a. An act. Right against an oath. But even the stuff that he. Came out with may not be the same level as somebody dealing as the top person in one of these programs at right Pat. The stuff that happens or that is said to happen at right Pat is literally could be the deepest, darkest secrets ever kept by the United States military or government and it could all the all it would take is somebody. Who is on board at the time flipping a switch and going fuck that and telling his wife but then he risks her dying too. You gotta Not everybody thinks about that kind of thing though, even if you kidding.

58:02 You kidding me dude? If, if, if. I knew something that my wife, if, if she found out, could harm her. I would never tell her, right? That's you. What I'm saying is not. Everybody think like, yeah, but somebody he understands. This as a two star general he understands. Probably been in the military for 30 years. Yeah, to that point, he knows he's probably seen a couple people. Off or maybe even pulled the trigger on a couple of people being offed. Not physically himself, but at least making the call right? Or locking them away. He knows what not to do. Now the are you trying to say it's impossible that this man. Divulged things to his wife. He wasn't surprised.

58:44 I'm saying it's very, very. Very unlikely unless, but not impossible what Jake was saying. Is that when the mental? Decline happens in certain medical issues or situations, especially. I'm forgetting it right now. Dementia. Dementia, right? Alzheimer's, right? That is a a very different beast now. You could have easily have thought that she was somebody else. Entirely I've had I, I had not, not even I had relatives go through dementia and and she thought I was my uncle for years. Not. Not even. That's my uncle. Not even. Not even that, man. But he could. Literally just be in like hey for some reason I I remember this in my life.

59:26 This is weird. But then from her point of view, it's like, oh, well, is this the dementia or is this him really divulging information to me that he doesn't know that he's actually divulging to me? So she has to take it with a grain of salt. If it's if it's medically documented that he is declining mentally, that there is some accidental, you know, they can come in and be like, hey, listen, he the UFO things that he was talking about the little green men, that's not really a thing, OK. And she'll be like, yeah, no, I get that he's been and loopy, you know, he forgot he had a daughter who's, you know, 50 something years old now. But either way, this topic almost I almost did not cover this at all.

1:00:11 The only reason why I did was because this is big news right now. People are talking about this in conspiracy circles. They're blaming this on, you know, because you AP is coming out there. They're looking at this as a way of. Sorry, freaking tired man, just got back from vacation so my brain is not working really well. Controlling the flow of information. Yeah, but. Okay, so. What? What's the act of the black lines on on official documents? Redacting. Redacting. This literally could be the conspiracy going around is that this is a formal redaction, OK, where he is somebody that has has officially come forward saying that, hey, we should divulge this stuff.

1:00:56 This stuff should be public knowledge. And now that they announced like, hey, there is this, this executive order saying we need to divulge all this stuff once he gets the OK. That. This stuff is now no longer top secret. It is unclassified. We don't want him to divulge more information than what we're willing to give up. This is literally that. It could be them censoring that that that's the point of view from from a lot of the conspiracies going on right now. I personally think this sounds like a very unfortunate case of dementia.

1:01:40 That's I mean, the guy's 68 years old. Could be that he just dropped a package. To the New York Times on their doorstep and then decided to cut out of the country and it's going to send information to his wife later about where to go. He he could, he could. So maybe in the next couple. Days if something really big drops from the New York Times. I mean, that did happen once, right? And that's how we got the whole Lou Elizondo fiasco with the book imminent and everything was literally because of of the New York Times coming out with an article on the gimbal go fast and Tic Tac videos, right? Maybe we'll keep our ears to the floor and see if see what we hear. There could be something, but I I just, I wouldn't discount somebody who.

1:02:25 You've got all that information locked up and especially if you're you're in the early stages or mid stages of dementia, just absolutely spilling the beans to your wife. He could he, he could when you look at. It from the point of view of being an accidental disclosure due to cognitive decline right That I can understand if he willingly did it without the cognitive decline aspect. I don't think A2 star general does that, especially with maybe talk to his wife in I mean. I talk to this, she's like, no. He screams. All night. About flying monkeys, never about aliens, though he could be a two star general. But that doesn't mean that one.

1:03:07 Day he couldn't turn around, decide he doesn't agree with anything we're doing anymore and that has happened, you know that has. This happened, you know, that's what I mean. Like I I wouldn't totally. Discount the fact that he didn't just talk to his wife at his level, right at his. Level at his position, you have to take that into consideration. Like people are talking about Tim Gallaudet, That's the US submarine Admiral. I believe he was also a two star. I think he was a Rear Admiral who is now talking very heavily about UFOs and US OS being the same thing, you know, comparing apples to apples. But really it's not because Tim Galladay was. Yes, he was a fleet Admiral, but he wasn't in charge of any information regarding UFOs.

1:03:58 He just happened across them personally during his tenure at the position. This two star general at Wright Patt is said to have been in charge of outer space weaponry. Is is is the the program what they called it? I mean he would be Privy to much more important and critical information than Gallaudet about UF OS or US OS. It's not so. So he is more likely to encounter. Information more than anybody else. He's more likely to encounter information that he can look at and go this is fucked I need to tell some Yes he can but. He would be probably putting not just himself. I mean if he has kids and grandkids, man, you're putting all those people in into jeopardy 100%. But like I said before.

1:04:46 Not everybody cares about that. Some people who have seen some shit don't care about that sort of thing and it's fucked up. But like like if they're until it's too late. Right. Like just out of impulsivity. I mean, you don't really get to be a two star general by being impulsive, but like he he may he may not be thinking about his emotions of when he made the decision to talk. You know what I'm saying? Like I I just, I just don't think that it's out completely outlandish that the man told his wife secrets he wasn't supposed to tell her. I won't 100% disagree with. You I'm still going to say that it's unlikely that that was the the scenario because she would also be taken care of too if that was if that was the case.

1:05:29 Unless they can make him look like he was crazy. And had dementia, right. Like if he has dementia. Oh, he disappeared. He must have just wandered off. Oh, those things he told you that didn't happen, He was out of his mind. Yeah, but if, if, if anything comes out of. Her like, Oh yeah, be when he was crazy and saying these weird things. He said something about the flying monkeys and and stuff and and, you know, the government's like, oh, you know, we we said we said aliens were OK, but not flying monkeys. And here she is telling everybody about this. Nobody believes her, but she's still saying it, right. Yeah, but then kill in that aspect. Killing her just guarantees that she was telling the truth. Well, now it does, now that she's out in the open.

1:06:09 You know, there's a public figure. Yeah, there are those. Dudes, those whistleblowers. I forget who it was. I forget I was. Listening to a podcast? I can't remember which one it was, but they were talking about. There was this whistleblower who was talking about secrets he wasn't supposed to talk about. They were gonna hide his face. And he was like, no, you have to show my face. Like I'm the only one that knows about this. I need to kill protection. Yeah, they'll kill me. You, everyone. Needs to see my. Face, you know what I mean? So like, yeah, like if they took her out, they're just guaranteeing that the information she had was good. Like they would they would make believers out of people by killing, but they but they still do that. They still do that. Look at the all the people that came up with some form of 0 point energy or the water engine, right?

1:06:52 I mean, these people went public, right? And they still got off. They still disappeared. They still got cleaned. Yeah, well, you're not wrong. I. Mean it does happen, but in a case like this, it just it it's, it's a very specific individual with very specific information. And by it's easier to claim that he had dementia and wandered off and nothing that came out of his mouth was true. It was the the ramblings of a crazy person at, you know, in in in mental decline. Bend is to be like to to try to cover up killing him and his wife. Yeah. The last thing I'll say about this. Is that the only thing that he's been on record of saying is that there are things that the government should know about?

1:07:37 He has not gone on record there. I couldn't find anything about him saying crazy shit about flying monkeys, about actual extraterrestrial beings or, or what specifically the government, the the public should be and knowledge about just that there are things and this happened years ago. This wasn't you know, he, he wasn't 68 at the time. He was, you know, 6263. But he hasn't. There is no reporting of him coming out with any real outlandish information, right? He nothing about reverse engineering, about having things, you know, non human intelligent craft or even non human intelligent biologics.

1:08:20 So this man was already of the mindset that there's. Information he thought that we should know about, Yes, in his right mind did not tell us because of his agreements with the government. Correct His mental health. This man told his wife. He started the early stages Demented. This man told his wife, but she didn't even come out and say anything like that. Man, well, maybe she's smart, I hope. Maybe. She's like the shit, he told. Me is. If that's the case, if that's the case. I hope she keeps her mouth shut for her own her own safety. And I'm not, you know, I, I don't wish bad I'll on anybody, right? Let it come out in official ways or let whistleblowers be whistleblowers. But if she's just a innocent, you know, wife of somebody who used to be in a very high position, I hope that she just leaves it alone.

1:09:09 And you know, I, I don't, I don't wish anything that happened to her. All right, I'll throw this out there. I was just reading an. Article on it. So he'll, I know you put it out there, but this is just a refresher. He left without any of his his phone, his wallet, his gun, anything like that. So either this is a medical emergency where he wandered out of his home because of some sort of dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever it is early onset or he was abducted and murdered. Those are my 2 stances I'm going to take. I think it's, I think it's fair, I think. That's a fair assessment. Either something that I don't basically happen to my own right because I don't know. There's freaking bears.

1:09:50 Outside, I don't go anywhere without my phone, right, Even if I'm you don't you don't now, but at 60. Five, you know. With dementia you may well, yeah, I'm that's. What I'm saying, though, is that especially somebody who grew up, you know, not needing. That a lot of people with dementia. No, no, no, no, I get it. But I'm saying. Like they would have to be a rare circumstance for me to leave without my phone. And my job isn't even that important. If I had a super important job where I could receive a phone call at any point, you know, at least have my work phone on me, you know, for something work related. But those would be the two things. Is that like he was taken and killed or he had a early onset dementia event and just walked out the door? Both things in the history of people are not out of the ordinary enough to say that that would never happen. So yeah, I mean, I, I even saw an article. Too.

1:10:50 Where, and I've specifically put it in the script about the, the cameras being at both ends of, of the, the street. And another person came out saying, you know, but somebody with dementia, they could, they could be somewhere hidden on their own property, You know, they, they, they could be under the sage brush in the front yard. And we won't know until the possums get to it, you know? And it's, it's morbid, but. It's true. You know you. Know when I first joined. The Navy had that. We had that thing. Maybe it was like 20/12/2011 when it happened, but it was where they were kicking out all the people trying to downsize the Navy, kicking out all the people that basically ever had a bad PT score or had ever gotten too many counseling chips or gone to mast or anything like that.

1:11:43 And there was a first class in my command. It was my first command. I didn't know who he was. I'd seen him in passing in like the the hallway, but he found out that at 16 years that they were just going to let him go. They were, they were not going to let him re enlist. They're kicking him out and he's, you know, as AE6, he's in the retirement zone. So he, it was around the Christmas time frame. He went home, went into his attic and, yeah, did the thing. And his wife, after several days, reported a missing person. Police came and interviewed her, got pictures, put his face up all over the place. She didn't find him for two weeks because he was upstairs or up frozen in the attic in Virginia and found him when she went to go put start putting Christmas decorations away.

1:12:34 And that's how we all found out. So yes, he could literally be on his own property and they wouldn't know because they haven't checked the crawl space, they haven't checked the attic, they haven't checked the basement or whatever, right? So yes, that is a possibility because just because you report a missing person doesn't mean the police are going to tear your house apart looking for him, right? They're going to put it on notice. They're going to start searching outside. OK, He was an avid hiker. He would like walks. Let's start searching in the most likely areas they wouldn't start searching and things like the crawl space or the attic or things like that. So yes, it is possible for someone to be reported missing and they are in unfortunately on their own property and they're not found until they're found, right? So so yes, what you're saying is valid could happen, although it's probably more likely that he. Wandered off.

1:13:29 But yeah, so I know, I know that was pretty. Dark. But that was that's what that reminded me of. It was a really good. It was a really good point, man. Yeah. All right, you. Guys ready for the deep dive move on something. Different. All right, TJ, good to go. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's go deep. I want to start with a question, and I want you to actually sit with it before we move on. How do you know what's real? Not philosophically, not as an abstract thought experiment. Right now, today, in March of 2026, in the middle of an active shooting war between the United States, Israel and Iran, How do you know that what you are seeing on your phone, on your television, in your social media feed, how do you know any of it is real?

1:14:14 Because that question is no longer hypothetical. It is the defining information crisis of this moment, and a story of Benjamin Netanyahu's last two weeks is the clearest illustration of exactly how broken our ability to verify reality has become. Let's start at the beginning. February 28th, 2026. the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed, the Middle East is on fire, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, the man who has been the face of this conflict, goes quiet. He doesn't disappear entirely. But is it?

1:14:55 Public appearances become sparse, pre announced appearances stop. And into that silence, Iranian state media steps in. Iranian outlets begin pushing reports that Netanyahu is dead, killed in a retaliatory strike, gone. And they have pictures to prove it. Images of Netanyahu bloodied and pulled from rubble, circulating Cross X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, millions of views. Within hours, the images were fake AI generated fabrications identified as synthetic by multiple independent investigators. But they had already spread and the damage, the seat of doubt, had already been planted. Then, March 12th, Netanyahu gives his first formal press conference since the war began.

1:15:39 A recorded video address standard wartime communication, and almost immediately, something strange happens. Social media users start pausing the video frame by frame, and they find something on Netanyahu's right hand in one particular frame, what appears to be a sixth finger. Now, if you know anything about generative AI, you know that hands are one of its most persistent weaknesses. AI image and video generators have notoriously struggled to render human hands correctly. Extra fingers, fused fingers, missing fingers. It is one of the most reliable tells that something has been artificially generated.

1:16:19 And here was the Prime Minister of Israel in an official government press conference video appearing to have six fingers. The post went viral. Millions of impressions. The theory spread. Netanyahu is dead. The Israeli government is using AI generated videos to hide it, to keep up morale, to deceive the world. And then it got weirder. People turned to Grok, the AI chatbot built into X Elon Musk's platform, to help them verify the footage, and Grok made it worse. In some instances, Grok labeled the video a deep fake, pointing to, and I'm quoting here, signs like static coffee levels, unnatural lip sync, and casual talk of OPS. In other instances, Grok labeled the same video authentic, contradictory answers from the same AI tool to the same question about the same video.

1:17:11 Netanyahu's team responded. On March 15th, they posted a casual video of the Prime Minister at a coffee shop called the Satif in the Jerusalem hills. Netanyahu ordered coffee, chatting with baristas, joking about the death rumors. The caption Pred quote, they say I'm what? And at the end of the clip, he looks directly at the camera and says I'm dying for coffee. And then he holds up both hands, fingers outstretch. Count them 55. It should have been over but it wasn't. Users immediately began picking apart the coffee shop video for signs of AI manipulation. The coffee level in his cup appeared static, not moving naturally as he drank. His lips seemed slightly off in certain frames. And in a follow up video posted the next day, his wedding ring appeared to briefly vanish from his hand mid gesture and then reappear.

1:18:00 Iran's state media outlet Tasnium news agency, run by the Islamic revolutionary Garcor, published an article titled Quote New video of Netanyahu proves fake. They listed every alleged anomaly. They included screenshots from AI detection tools flagging the video as digitally generated. And here's where the story gets philosophically important for our purposes, because here is what the verification experts actually said. Tal Hagen, a professional verification specialist, told Euro News that AI detection software cannot be trusted in situations like this. These tools, he explained, search for statistical discrepancies. They flag things that are not normal, but normal is a probabilistic standard. If a person holds their hand in an unusual position, if the lighting creates an odd shadow, if compression artifacts from video and coding creates visual noise, the detector can flag it as AI even when it is completely authentic. Hagen put it plainly.

1:18:58 If Netanyahu's coffee shop video was actually AI generated, it would be the most advanced AI model that has ever existed. The kind of system that no one on Earth currently has access to. And you cannot simply claim on the Internet that Netanyahu's team has access to a secret AI I model without evidence. I beg the differ. By the way, Snopes ran the press conference video through a professional deep fake detection tool. The result? 0.1% likelihood that it was AI generated 0.1%. Netanyahu is alive, apparently. The videos apparently are real. This has been apparently confirmed by multiple independent verification organizations. Snopes, Times of Israel, Euronews, France 24, AFP. But here's the thing, and this is what I really want you to think about.

1:19:45 It doesn't matter. Not because the truth doesn't matter. It does, but because we have now entered a moment in history where the existence of deep fake technology, regardless of whether it is actually being used, is enough to make authentic content unverifiable to a significant portion of the population. The mere possibility of a deep fake is sufficient to create permanent, unresolvable doubt, and both sides of this war understand that. The disinformation research company Kyabra documented a coordinated pro Iranian campaign that deployed 10s of thousands of fake social media accounts generating over 145 million views in the first two weeks of the war, almost entirely on TikTok.

1:20:26 AI generated videos of. Missile strikes flattening Tel Aviv. AI generated images of Netanyahu dead in rubble. AI generated footage of American troops being captured by Iranian forces. All fake, all viral. But it doesn't stop there, because this isn't just Iran's problem. And Israeli pro Netanyahu news channel aired footage it claimed showed crowds in Tehran chanting support for the Prime Minister, affectionately calling him Bibi June, a Persian term of endearment. The Israeli fact checking Organization. Fake reporter instigated the chant Was AI generated? A pro Netanyahu outlet broadcasting AI fabricated pro Netanyahu content to an Israeli audience during a war. Both sides simultaneously using AI to manufacture reality and sitting in the middle of all of it is a tool most people trust by default.

1:21:16 The AI chatbot built into the most widely used social media platform on Earth, Grok, which told users a real video is fake and told users that fake video was real, sometimes in the same conversation, with equal confidence both times. Here's the number that I think puts all of this in context. In 2023, just three years ago, estimated 500,000 deep fakes were shared online in a single year. By 2025, that number reached 8 million, a 1500% increase in two years. And the Iran war of 2026 is the moment all of that converge. We are not heading toward an information crisis. We are inside one.

1:22:00 And here's the question that I don't think anyone has a good answer to yet. If a world leader with full access to government communications infrastructure, professional video production teams in the entire apparatus of a modern nation state cannot convincingly prove to a global audience that he is alive using authentic quote UN quote authentic video footage because AI detection tools keep flagging it as fake, what does that mean for the rest of us? What does it mean for a witness who films a UAP on their phone and uploads it to YouTube? What does it mean for a crypted researcher who captures something on a trail Cam in the woods of Northeast Ohio? What does it mean for a whistleblower who leaks authentic classified footage of something the government doesn't want you to see?

1:22:41 If everything can be called a deep fake, if AI detection tools are unreliable, if the mere existence of the technology creates permanent doubt, then we have a problem that goes way beyond Benjamin Netanyahu's coffee order. Because the truth is still out there, it just got a lot harder to prove. Jake CJ. Simple question with what I'm only guessing is going to be a long answer from the both of you. What do you make of the Netanyahu deepfakes? CJ, you go first so I can interrupt you. I it's really not going to be. All that long for me, I think it's all all of it's a psyop on a psyop on a psyop. I don't know if he's alive or not and I don't really care. I'm not. I'm not pro Israel in any sense of the imagination. Welcome to the next list we're on. And yeah.

1:23:30 Whatever it is. He, I don't care. It's, it's Netanyahu. Nobody likes him. His own people don't like him. Like whatever, you know what I mean. It's all psyop shit. The the something to distract. Us with whether he's. Alive or he's not as irrelevant. They'll have the next leader up. Anything. But what about the? What about the concept? Of AI videos. Have you guys seen these videos? I haven't seen those specific videos but I make. Plenty of AI videos. I love playing with AI. It's like one of my favorite toys. I've seen like three of them now and. They're all officially produced and distributed by the Israeli government, right?

1:24:16 And there is one where it looks like he's, he's holding like these railings next to the, the podium and, or he's holding the podium and one of his fingers just disappears and then it reappears. And then there's one where he has two ear holes and, and one ear. And then the, the one with the six finger. I think that's, you know, I, I used that one because a lot of people are using that as their, their specific evidence for it being AI. But honestly, it could be just a weird shadow casted by his pinky. So I'm not using that one, but the other two where it's he's got 2 ear holes in one ear and then the pinky just kind of disappearing and reappearing. Really weird stuff.

1:25:02 I gotta say I don't but the. Like, so I play with Sora and I play with what is it called? Hold on while you're looking that up. It's called Sora and I play. With Suno Suno. And then I also there's an online app called Studio 11, I think Studio 11. I know of Studio 11. That's where you get the the. The voices, yeah, but so with Studio 11 if I have. 2 minutes of your voice Jeremy. I can deep fake anything I want and make it sound like you, you know and with like you know as soon as the the music one Sora, I can take a photograph of you and turn it into an animation. Those those are about the mistakes that it'll make. They're not usually that dramatic or that frequent. It's pretty good, but like if it's going to make a mistake, that's the type of mistake it makes. I seen a video somebody.

1:25:58 On X, posted a video. From Sora. About the Carl Higdon incident, the abduction incident in Wyoming, and it was so bad. It was terrible. I mean, it's a fun thing. I have AI do I make? Conspiracy cat videos on there. It's a tuxedo cat who's trying trying to tell the dogs in the house about big human and how like they domesticated dogs. So they have somebody. To blame for their farts and stuff like soars. A lot of fun to play with. But yeah, like it'll, it'll make, it'll make mistakes just like that all the time. Jake, what you got, buddy? Does this mean that people are? Finally going to get on. Board with us about all of the weird videos that NASA puts out about the International PlayStation, no. Because NASA is real.

1:26:46 Yeah, They're only going to worry about this. I don't know what people want either. Either they have Vladimir Zelinsky touring the world like some freaking movie star instead of worrying about the freaking invasion that's going on in his country. Or you have a military leader or a sorry, a country's leader who seems to be more focused on what's going on with attacking another country then throwing out, you know, videos and stuff and making Tik Toks and, you know, Instagram reels and stuff like that. So it's like, so if, if they do, it's all fake and if they don't, it's all fake. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

1:27:29 And yeah, I mean, shoot, how many times do we have to see a politician go up where they blink and their eyes turn into freaking lizard eyes? And everyone says that we're crazy for, for pointing it out the frame by frame. Oh, that's just the lighting, you know, that's just, you know, the, the digital imprint and that's just the compression. And that's just this, that and the other. And then they see this like a weird shadow in a hand and they're like, oh, it's the sixth finger. It's a deep fake. You know, it's just like, so level, level with us weirdos. All right, Like there could be trillions in government and the International Space Station could be fake because, you know, they dropped this object and went straight down. They dropped this other object and it stayed suspended in the same video clip.

1:28:11 It's like, was the mass different for a second like that? Just that just, you know, defied the laws of gravity, you know, But it's just like they have to come on board with us somewhere. Right. But I'm not it's it's very difficult to tell. I've seen a lot of AI generated slop coming out of what they say is Iran could just be some D bag in their basement doing it or really fucking bad at it. But like. Pictures. Of B2 bombers and they have you know, they have huge yeah, right and then. It looks like it's the. Size of like an F18 and they got a bunch of Iranian fighters all with the exact same expression on their faces and someone's holding they're holding an AK47.

1:28:59 Some of them are even holding the grips. They're just hand is like in a fist in front of it and it's back behind their hand and it's like and you know, you see a picture of a real B2 bomber and the people next to it are like this big and the bomb. It's like that, right? That's that's the one that I saw and I was. Like, are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. You guys think you're gonna convince us with this garbage? Right. So it's like it's just now, whether that's actually coming from Iran or it's coming from just somebody that's just blasting that crap into the media because, you know, you put so many hashtags and someone just going to believe that it's from there. I don't know, you know, is are these videos real or are they deep fakes? I don't know, you know it and I don't even know how you'd prove that because at this point, you know, it's so there would be so many people that believed it was a deep fake.

1:29:46 It wouldn't matter if the video was real or not. Someone's going to call it fake. I mean, most of Facebook and and YouTube now is just AI slop where it's like, and you just see, Oh my gosh, the boomers are just convinced that all this crap is real and it's absolutely insane. It's just like, how did the shark get in the puddle? And it's like, shut up. Like, you know, you're stop it to get off social media. You don't need to be here, right? It's just like, but could you imagine it? Because I know what video you're talking about. I don't mean to cut you off because you imagine somebody seeing that and, and being convinced that there was a shark in the puddle that took out a cat and now they're afraid to walk outside when it's raining.

1:30:28 It's just like, absolutely. Insane there's like sea monsters and stuff coming up on the beach and they're like, they're like, when did this get discovered? I always knew that because it says so in the Bible and it's like you're not helping anything. It's like, please stop, just get off social media. But I appreciate your faith. But this it's not that's not the video for it. You know, it's just like, or, you know, fake angels and stuff. There's like all this stuff that just like because of my algorithm, it just I get blasted with it. I'm just like, all right, well, all this is, but who's to say that something like you said, you know, someone's going to film in a UAP and it's it's because it's so abnormal, like we talked about in last episode of the episode before, it's so abnormal that your brain's immediately going to be like, dad, that's fake. And it's real as crap.

1:31:17 Like what we always talk about the alien spaceship landing on the White House lawn. Like, at what point are we going to see that and just be like, wow, nice, nice, deep fake, you know, type stuff. And it's a real event that's actually happening, right? It's going to have to be directly in front of our faces and no one's going to believe anything else, right? But it's like, yeah, it's, it's crazy the amount of information warfare and psyops and stuff that are going on. I mean, we all knew this was going to happen, but now we're. Yeah, I, I don't even know how you would prove that the video is real because, I mean, if, if AI tools in themselves are compromised, then we're just screwed, I guess. Like, because Netanyahu could come out with that. You know, the paper, the newspaper of that day with Donald Trump in the same thing.

1:32:05 Donald Trump saying, yeah, I'm real here I am being recorded by an actual news crew, blasted all over, you know, MSNBC, see ABCCNN, Fox News, all that sort of stuff. And people are still going to think it's a deep fake. And it might be, you know, so it's like who who knows? You know, I don't, I I care. But at the same time, I care very little about if Netanyahu is alive, are bombs still dropping and Iran, you know, are gas price is still high. I mean, you know, it's just like what what does his being alive or dead matter? Because if their government is worth anything at all, then they would be modeled after our government, which, yeah, all right.

1:32:52 If, if Trump gets killed, it'd be horrible. It'd be horrible for any country to lose their their primary. You know, I guess director right there got their government leader, their president, you know, Prime Minister, whatever. But they would have a contingency where there is a second in command that immediately steps up and takes control. And it's not someone who has no idea what the F is going on. They're completely on board with what the attack plan is. What's the next steps? You know, what was the direction and the vision of the primary? And now as the secondary, they're put in that position and everything continues as normal. They're not just some guy off the street. They were like, all right, you're the president now, what's next?

1:33:37 Right. So if they're worth anything, even if he was killed, I would imagine things would continue as they were already going. So it wouldn't in the great, you know, scheme of things, the grand scheme of things, it wouldn't actually matter as far as like, is Iran going to get continue to be attacked? I don't know. When did you know, when did Netanyahu decide that they were going to stop bombing them? You know, that would probably continue to be the plan. You know, that's that's pretty much exactly what I was saying in. Longer form, I mean, it's easier to it's easier to distract people. Now you think back like the Obama era when we were trading 5 high level was a Taliban from Guantanamo for like 1 soldier or whatever.

1:34:23 And Obama's like, well, we can't have people know when we're doing this Ebola, right? Oh, the murder Hornets. Oh, no, yeah, right now. Now all we have to do is put out a couple. Of videos where like a digital frame recorded on top of another digital frame and created a sort of digital burning causing a six finger. And now we have a distraction for people to look at like Jason, who cares if he, the guy's actually dead? If he did die, someone's going to take over. And it's, it's going to be, you know, business as usual. Yeah. It's. Irrelevant. It's a psyop on a psyop on a psyop on a psyop, Just something to distract you and get your attention and have 3 fucking guys on a fucking fucking podcast talking about it, which distracts several thousand other people onto the same topic and they're not looking at the stuff that actually matters. Yeah, You know what I mean?

1:35:16 Like it's that sort of thing. Like there's no point in arguing over whether or not that those videos are real and he's alive or not. Like it's more important to look at what's actually going on. 100% agree. I I included this today as kind of like an ongoing thing with with AI because it's just becoming an increasingly frustrating thing for me. I've been told numerous times that even the video on this podcast is AI generated way like the three of us. People are just really gooses. Well, I haven't. I haven't. Been. Told that since you've been back, CJ. But yeah, I mean, this right here, this conversation that we're having right now, that's AI generated. There's been so many aspects of this that have been blamed as being AI generated.

1:36:12 It's just, it's so frustrating because it's not creative enough to generate the conversations we have. But what really bothers me, man, is and beyond the whole, you know, infinite rabbit hole conversational piece on the podcast is how much this really just hurts the research side of of these things. It kills it. It really does. Like I meant that in the script about Bigfoot researchers and UFO researchers and stuff and it literally kills. The ability for. Any of this to move forward, it just shoots it dead and there's really not, you know, there's no point in a lot of this now.

1:36:59 So it's working as intended. OK, probably. I mean it probably is working as. Intended, you know in that case and you know beyond UFOs, aliens and Bigfoot, right but on other stupid things like the war right it's the big point of. This deep dive. Was It's so frustrating that we can't tell what's real anymore and I specifically put in there about how people are coming out saying, oh, if it was AI, it would be too good. If you believe that there's AI out there that's not better than what's available to the general public, you need to go fuck yourself. Dang, no, you heard of your first pokes? They.

1:37:47 Definitely. They definitely have models. That were not. Even allowed to touch. Did you hear what the ChatGPT is trying to do? What is that? Now we're. Going to start. We're going to start. I have a feeling some of those models are going to become available. So ChatGPT originally started as a a non profit and then they move to a profit model and now what they want to do is move into your build for the time you use on ChatGPT like a utility. And what's crazy is people will probably use it 100% especially if if they're billing. Us like it's a utility. They'll probably drop not the Top Model, but they'll start dropping those models that are a little more advanced. Well, they're already doing that with Grok, aren't they? It's like.

1:38:33 The free version, the $30.00 a month version and like the $300 a month version. Yeah. Well, what they're saying it's like it'll work like your electric bill, like it's. Not a monthly subscription. It it it's based off of like the data you consume. Well they can piss off. I don't use ChatGPT. Ever you've used 7 gigabytes? Of of AI generated material. Your bill is $6742.73. Yeah right right. Damn I know a lot of people that'd be fucked too. Too many. I would I used AI for. A lot I. Used AI for a lot of. Shit like if I'm like trying to cross reference something or whatever. Like I I just bought a new micro gecko from a local reptile store and I didn't trust the species the guy told me it was. And it turns out that the guy had absolutely no idea what he had.

1:39:29 And I crossed it through perplexity Gemini and ChatGPT to successfully identify it to help me identify it. Anyways. So I mean, I use, I use it for a lot or if I need a quick reference like I'm making dinner or whatever. And I have X number of ingredients and I and I'm using these spices and I kind of like it tastes like it's missing something. I'll run through AI like what I put into it and tell it I think it's missing something. It'll hit me with suggestions. Haven't thought about that. Do you know how? Scary. This whole AI thing is man, how much people are relying on this The argument from. Our parents. You know, growing up is, oh, playing your Sega Genesis and your PlayStation two.

1:40:16 What are you going to do if all the lights turn off and and you have no electricity? And it's like, dude, could you imagine people who who survive off of AI generated information? Even worse, could you imagine the TikTok? Brain people if the freaking they jump. Off the freaking roof. I mean, I mean, that's not funny, but at the. Saints. Yeah, it's kind of funny. I got coworkers that can't even. Sit down and watch full movies because they're so used to 10 second clips. It's crazy to me. They're like you Jeremy. They get 0 movie references, but it's not because they're busy or they just don't have the time. It's because they're so sucked into 10 second like instant gratification videos that sitting down to watch a movie with an actual plot is the most boring thing ever.

1:41:07 And they just can't cope with it without also scrolling while they do it. And they just don't, you know, retain any information. It's crazy to me. It's it's the same thing on a different scale. From people who read books to people who watch movies. I mean, like, I, I mean, I can sit there and and watch a movie. I fall asleep to it. It's not that, you know, I need that quick stimulant that, you know, a TikTok video will give you. I mean, I read books. I spent a week reading a book, you know, Slow reader, huh? Yeah, a little bit sometimes. Netflix did a statistic. Where it? Actually comes out that within the 1st 5 minutes of a show or movie people have already picked up their phone and started scrolling.

1:41:48 I don't know how would they know that I. Honestly don't know it's. In the it's in the disclaimer information. That they can watch you through. They're using their TV. As a mirror, they're using. They're using your Wi-Fi system to be. Able to tell, but on on average on. Average, like even in movie theaters and stuff it's about 5 minutes into a movie. I don't doubt it people. People start scrolling I believe. That. It's. Like if you if you had. An idea for a show and you were pitching it to Netflix. That was one of the things. Sorry, I did some tired my brain just like TikTok brain.

1:42:29 Yeah, that's what he's. Bad. Actually, I lost track of the conversation. Because of the TikTok brain. No I don't have TikTok brain. I actually. I was super duper addicted to TikTok for like 6 months and then the day where it was like supposed to be banned right? I turned it on, it said it was banned and I uninstalled the app and I guess like 2 hours later it was back up or whatever but I never reinstalled it and I honestly don't miss it. We got the infinite rabbit. Hole TikTok page got shut down because we're talking truths. I don't. I don't doubt it, but. No, I can't even remember what I was talking about. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm tired. It's been it's been a week. Anyways, you guys got anything else before I close? This out?

1:43:13 All right, that's it for tonight's episode. We ran through our quick hits. The White House quietly registered alien.gov and aliens.gov the March 10th Congressional hearing where witnesses testified underoath about a classified UAP program called Immaculate Constellation. A rare green air glow lighting up the skies over Colorado during a record setting heat Dome. Canada logging over 1000 UFO sightings in 2025. The Patterson Gimlin film is potentially a fake. And a quick update on the Ohio Bigfoot flap, which did not stop after we recorded last week, expanded into a second county. In our briefings, we covered the Persian Number Station, A Cold War era shortwave spy signal that appeared within hours of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, broadcasting coded messages twice daily in Farsi getting jammed by tools associated with Iranian censorship, while no government claims responsibility for either. And we covered the disappearance of retired Air Force Major General William Neil Mccaslin, the man who once commanded the research laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, who walked out of his Albuquerque home 3 weeks ago and has not been found as the FBI continues its search and investigative journalist Ross Cohart calls it a grave national security crisis.

1:44:36 Then we went deep on the AI deep fake war unfolding in real time alongside the military conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, and what it means when authentic video footage can no longer be reliably distinguished from a fabrication, even by the tools we built to tell the difference.
