Summary
In this episode of Need to Know, Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel discuss the latest developments in the UAP conversation, particularly the lack of action from the new U.S. administration despite previous campaign promises. They highlight the role of key figures like John Ratcliffe, the new CIA director, and Marco Rubio, the new Secretary of State, both of whom have previously acknowledged the reality of unexplained aerial phenomena. The conversation also delves into Elon Musk's recent claims that he would know about secret UAP programs if they existed—claims that Ross and Bryce find naive, given the compartmentalized nature of classified government projects.
The episode also explores the broader implications of disclosure, touching on government secrecy, potential geopolitical ramifications, and the upcoming documentary The Age of Disclosure, which promises to feature high-level insiders speaking out about UAPs. Additionally, the hosts discuss Richard Dolan's new book on USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) and the historical significance of cases like Kecksburg and the Betty and Barney Hill abduction. The ongoing mystery of military drone incursions and their potential ties to UAP phenomena is another major talking point, with Ross expressing frustration over media and government responses. They close by considering the possibility that foreign powers like Russia or China might take the lead on disclosure, potentially forcing the U.S. to respond.

| 0:00.0 | Giday and welcome back to Need to Know and what a month it's been. I'm Ross Coulthart and I'm going to bring in my |
| 0:23.3 | colleague and good buddy Bryce Zabel all the way from Los Angeles. G'day, Bryce. How are you, mate? |
| 0:29.9 | I'm doing very well. And you know, this we've been doing need to know on a pretty much monthly |
| 0:36.4 | basis since you started the reality check thing. |
| 0:39.3 | I have to say, a month gives you a lot of stuff to cover. You know, you tend to think maybe |
| 0:46.3 | weekly it feels too much, like how could we possibly keep up, you know, I mean, keep that thing |
| 0:51.3 | full. But when it's monthly, my cup runs over. |
| 0:55.5 | That's all I can say. |
| 0:57.2 | Yeah, I don't know where to start. |
| 0:58.7 | Maybe we should start with what on earth is going on with the incumbent president's attitude |
| 1:05.0 | to UAPs because it's very hard to read the entails right now. |
| 1:10.8 | I think things were far more promising, Bryce, before the election. because it's very hard to read the entrails right now. |
| 1:16.9 | I think things were far more promising, Bryce, before the election result than they are after. |
| 1:22.3 | All the indications are that the new president is, frankly, wimping it. And he seems to be avoiding the UAP issue. |
| 1:26.0 | The most telling thing being, of course, that whilst he's issued |
| 1:30.0 | executive orders for the release of files on Epstein, JFK, MLK, RFK, and 9-11, he hasn't conspicuously |
| 1:39.8 | issued any kind of executive order for the release of any UFO files, which is in complete |
| 1:46.4 | defiance to what he was promising before the election. It is curious. I still, though, think |
| 1:53.6 | he's surrounded himself by people. And I just want to take a moment to talk about two people |
| 1:58.8 | in particular that he's surrounded himself with. |
| 2:01.8 | The first, of course, is the new head of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, who was also the former |
| 2:06.7 | Director of National Intelligence under Trump's first administration. |
