  1. "I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance, in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI

    The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high-ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam." Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.

    "A few insiders know the truth…and are studying the bodies that have been discovered." -Dr. Edwin Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon.

    "Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.

    "It's still classified above Top Secret." – Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975

    “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960.

    “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981

    “Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D. Mitchell, The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical World

    AFFIDAVIT (1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose (2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX (3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank of Brigadier General. (4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air Field [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas. I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press. (8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make this statement, which is the truth to the best of my recollection. Signed: T. J. Dubose Date: 9/16/91 Signature witnessed by: Linda R. Split Notary Public, State of Florida

    "There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. “ — Daniel Inouye Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition (Iran-Contra hearings) (1987)

    Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

    We know. You know. We know that you know.

    MEANINGFUL congressional hearings, ala the Watergate hearings, including aerospace/defense contractors and Vice Admiral Thomas R. Wilson must be held to address a vital issue that transcends politics and we will never properly advance until it happens: The 75+yr ongoing-constitutionally illegal, EXTRATERRESTRIAL and associated TIME TRAVEL cover-ups. How can we truly believe anything our elected officials say?

    The dog n pony shows must cease.

  2. Thanks for this great video. Many people say that now is the best time to invest in cryptocurrencies, I have seen YouTube videos on how to invest, but I am still confused. Please I really need some guides on how to get started.

  3. Who's the 10% black guy?

  4. Democrats supporting MAGA Republicans is a big mistake.No authoritarians wanted! And that’s what we get. Then there are more Rats to clean out of the basement, and the barn, and every other place they can wiggle into.

  5. They think that "WE, The People" are stupid, Trump will not be convicted of anything Merrick Garland wanted to prosecute. If anything, Hilliary, Hunter, Pelosi, Shummer and Joke Biden should be in the same cell with Trump.

  6. "russia's defending their own territories" here fixed it for you.

  7. They need to tax the f out of these corporations that are gouging the American people. These are Republicans or friends of the rich gouging the American people and making exploitive profits to include credit card companies charging usurious interest rates!

  8. China say that , because American used to promise it no go there'.

  9. This was the most sugary coated broadcast and no true acknowledgment of reality from GDP to inflation.

  10. Biggest bullsh1t analysis I have ever seen on TV.

    Nobody wants to take the pinch? HELLO THERE ARE 30 MILLION AMERICANS MISSING FROM THE LABOR FORCE

    Labor force participation is at 62% while most industrialized countries is above 70%

    thats MILLIONS of people not counted in unemployment rate, which is closer to 20%.

    Corporations are DESPERATE to KEEP WAGES LOW AND TO DESTROY WORKING PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP ALL GAINS.

    THEY WANT A RACE TO THE BOTTOM HERE IN THE USA!!!!!

    The ONLY people WHO HAVE EVER GOTTEN PINCHED ARE THE WORKING POOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS WHO HAVE SEEN HUGE INCREASES IN RENT, HEALTHCARE AND TAXATION WHILE THE RICH GET RICHER

    NOW THEY ARE CHARGING US TO DRIVE ON THE ROADS WE ALREADY PAID FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Chuck Todd, Rhule, This 'professor' from the Obama administration ARE DEAD SILENT ON THIS ATTACK ON WORKING AMERICANS and trying to spin this CRAP narrative that 'its this percentage interest rate here, or this GDP number there, or this unemployment number here' like WHAT THE ACTUAL FVCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WE ARE GETTING DESTROYED BY CORPORATE GREED, OPIOIDS AND MASS SHOOTINGS AND THIS IS THE BEST THING YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT??????

  11. I just want to tell, Stephanie Ruhle you are more beautiful then ever, just hearing your voice and your down to earth thoughts makes everything good in the world. I f wee ever have to be in lockdown again, I hope I am standing next to you when it happens, all my dreams come true! lol

  12. 14:48 her saying "poor people don't have cars, gas prices don't affect them" is naïve. All products cost more when fuel costs go up.

  13. BASIC TRAVELING RULE 101: When you travel abroad make sure you respect laws, reg's & rules of those countries or just don't travel at all. Just bc you're American, doesn't make you entitled to anything!

  14. Iron Joe Biden! He wasn't rushed to Walter Reed like the last guy in office 😉

  15. Thank goodness for Stephanie Ruhle bringing the conversation right down to basic reality and for saying the truth. – the rich got richer, the poor got poorer over the pandemic time. That’s the big problem in our country. And the professor validated Stephanie’s position that the White House IS doing various things to help the economic problems abate.

  16. Somebody sure seems to want a recession! I feel like I'm watching Fox News, "don't tell me there's not a recession, I know there's going to be a recession! Explain it to me once again (to see if I can get a sound bite out of this that sounds negative) Are you sure we're not in a recession?" "Surely somebody in the world must be in a recession, couldn't we somehow catch it?" Said the poison Kool-Aid vendor!

  17. She. Hit. It on point !! That pause was so loud !!!

  18. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6 Ask God to reveal this to you he will!

    "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.

    "But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.

    "For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.

    Read the Bible, Walk with the Lord and give your life to Him!

    Check out my testimony video!

  19. Question if Joe was a airplane pilot would you be one of his passenger 🤔

  20. FYI: 78% of the US population is classified as "OBESE', about time you start buying less food… Yanks are soooo flipping stupid… A Canadian observation

  21. They just screwed the average person in favor of their sponsors on Wall Street and they know it….

  22. The DOJ will investigate Eastman's phone, but can't Eastman delete communications via another device such as use a new iphone to log into your accounts and delete messages which will rake effect on all your devices?

  23. Any government in power during the present world 🌍 war and Two yards of C,OV,IcK would be going through a similar strain so the big issues about the current status of AS Economy is s not political it s s reality and criticizing the current status of the economy is taking political movement
