Summary
Ross and Bryce share their first impressions of the House Oversight Committee's national security subcommittee hearing on UAP. Whistleblower David Grusch was joined by two former military pilots who reported UAP years ago. Ross and Bryce say it was a big day - the first of what they hope will be more to come. The witnesses deferred several questions to a closed-door hearing, and Ross tore into the Defense Department for its "statement" on whether DoD has any evidence of non-human intelligence. They also noted Grusch's phrase "administrative terrorism" in describing some of what he's gone through since coming forward.

| 0:50.5 | Did we both have a silent tear and a cry behind the scenes? |
| 0:55.3 | I don't know if I was as silent as you. I was touched. I really thought it was critically important that at least Dave |
| 1:01.3 | Grushby under oath. And when I saw all three guys with their hands up swearing to tell the |
| 1:06.2 | whole truth, man, I thought that was a powerful moment. And Ross, I'm sure you felt roughly the same way I did about this. |
| 1:14.2 | I didn't hear anything that I didn't know or hadn't heard before, |

| 1:29.3 | And they certainly hadn't heard him in Congress under oath. It was, as you point out, a historical |
| 1:34.8 | day, July 26, 2023 will go down in history. It was an important, important moment. |
| 1:42.7 | It's funny. I was talking to Dave a few minutes ago, and I asked him how he was feeling, |
| 1:47.1 | and he said, I'm emotionally drained. |
| 1:50.1 | I don't think people realize just how tough it's been for him for the last few months. |
